More Of Today’s Forecast

We're off on a brisk adventure. The Aquarius Moon forms an enlivening early morning trine to Mars and closes out the day with another trine, this one to loving Venus. In between, Mercury and the Sun join forces in Scorpio to stimulate mental and intuitive faculties. Powers of observation, memory and intuition are acute. Put them to good use making the world function more efficiently. Because Aquarius is connected with the future, and the Moon is also favorably disposed towards Saturn, the lessons of the past can easily be applied to current and as well as anticipated challenges. After a notably productive day, celebrate your good fortune with favorite companions tonight when, courtesy of Venus, moods are warm and cheerful. Moon in Capricorn v/c 12:00AM-2:24AM Moon enters Aquarius, Sun conjunct Mercury.

A lunar square with Uranus gives some folks a restless night but as dawn breaks calming trends arrive. The ambitious Capricorn Moon finds harmony with auspicious Jupiter. Spirits feel renewed and eager to meet the new day. Positives are emphasized. Additional planetary influences foster an excellent climate for tackling projects and negotiating with demanding partners. These productive trends last into the late afternoon when a void of course Moon period begins. Concentrate on completing the bulk of your work before the Cosmos shifts gears. The latter part of the day moves more slowly and feels less motivated, which can be good for taking time to regroup, rest and relax. The now waxing Moon guarantees that there'll be chances to make up for any lost time during the next ten days. Moon in Capricorn v/c 3:53PM-12:00AM.

Waking up to the Capricorn Moon's sextile with Neptune can make the world seem a wondrous place, worthy of deep gratitude as much as amazement. The impulse to share is also strong this morning. Those who sleep late may miss this magical interlude yet enjoy fabulous dreams. After noon the Moon is headed into a conjunction with Pluto, the tiny planet of great extremes. Whether pleasant or uncomfortable, happy or sad, feelings are more intense later in the day. Emotional responses and obsessive thoughts are unlikely to be lukewarm. Fight the good fight. Take the high road. Maintain your inner poise and equilibrium tonight, a fine time to put spiritual practices and psychological understanding to good use. Moon in Capricorn.

We're in for a low-key fall morning as the Sagittarius Moon travels void of course. Actually, the lazy, void of course period extends all the way into evening, when the Moon at last enters industrious Capricorn. As loyal readers know, the void of course Moon lends itself to tackling creative projects, personal introspection and other inner growth work. It is less suited for making expensive purchases and important decisions. Keep your options open today, and go with the flow. Even after the Moon reaches the Sign of the Goat the energetic flow is uneven. A lunar square with Mars in Libra can set couples to squabbling. Don't rush into anything today, including passing judgment. Proceed with a mind ready for learning and stay arm in arm with partners. Moon in Sagittarius v/c 12:00AM-7:21PM Moon enters Capricorn.

While I question the Universe's awareness of TGIF sentiments, the stars are certainly serving up a healthy dose of it today. A midday sextile between Venus and Saturn highlights the many joys of doing good work but shortly afterwards, during the early afternoon, Mercury's sextile to Jupiter ushers in a different mood. Those folks still focused on tending to business will address responsibilities with confidence and zeal but those eyeing the weekend will easily find their attention drawn elsewhere. The "grass is greener" is one of Jupiter's unending temptations, and with a lunar sextile to freedom-loving Uranus under way, it may be hard to contain wanderlust. The evening hours are great for mingling but watch out for a tendency to over-indulge. Moon in Sagittarius v/c 10:18PM-12:00AM, Venus sextile Saturn, Mercury sextile Jupiter.

There are lapses, lulls and missing pieces to account for over the circuitous course of this long and eventful day. After beginning with a mighty push forward, by late-morning the Moon sets up shop in outspoken Sagittarius. However, she has little noticeable effect until late afternoon. By then feisty Mars has arrived in Libra. The God of War's visits to the Sign of Marriage can spell trouble for some partnerships. However, other relationships may thrive with the infusion of new energy. Be sure to deliver advice respectfully and with tact. Be patient with loved ones. It's possible to deftly combine business with pleasurable interests during the evening dinnertime hours. Fatigue may set in early though. Take extra care of valuable personal items as midnight nears. Moon in Scorpio v/c 9:54AM-10:14AM Moon enters Sagittarius, Mars enters Libra.

With a New Moon in Scorpio, the sign of death and transformation, there are sure to be some thoughtful as well as poignant moments of reflection today. The morning hours roll by quickly. The Moon passes by Mercury, quickening minds and the senses. A late morning lunar sextile to Jupiter arouses patriotic sentiments but also triggers discussions of current events, political and spiritual beliefs, as well as emotional patterns. It takes awareness for attitudes and hearts to change. Don't hold back. Say your piece. The New Moon itself moves many people to think about their place in the cosmos, and their connections with kindred spirits. Look for common ground and work in tandem with others during the coming weeks. Moon in Scorpio, New Moon in Scorpio 12:47PM.

A treasure trove of solidly sensible ideas are available today. A pair of planetary sextile alignments, Mercury's to Pluto and the Scorpio Sun's with Jupiter, inspire broad minded and at times, revolutionary thinking. Welcome alternative viewpoints. Broaden your mind. It turns out there are workable solutions to multiple challenges. Talents and resources can be put to excellent use. Dare to dream. The Scorpio Moon forms a midday trine to Neptune, the planet of fantasy and imagination. Creativity has a place in deliberations, too. No matter how brilliant and well-conceived your plans, it's best to be patient. Energy may be lacking. Hold off on launching new projects until tomorrow's New Moon. Moon in Scorpio, Mercury sextile Pluto, Sun sextile Jupiter.

We're very late in the monthly lunar cycle and the waning Libra Moon is void of course almost the entire day. Many folks feel as though they are sleepwalking as the new week gets under way. Life may appear to play out in slow motion. Indecision can plague minds. It is a good time for pursuing creative outlets. Through self-expression, including brainstorming sessions with partners and associates, important realizations may be made. Strategies leading to future successes are another possibility. The time isn't yet quite right to implement plans, but don't overlook today's discoveries. Keep them under your hat until later in the week. Moon in Libra v/c 12:00AM-11:02PM Moon enters Scorpio.

Gracious Venus enters her own sign of Libra this morning and as she does, passes over the lunar north node, the cosmos' version of a direction sign on life's highway. With Libra's balancing qualities emphasized, the way forward requires care and consideration of others as well as a willingness to make compromises. Diplomatic skills are sorely needed during the second half of the day as the Libra Moon is at odds with Pluto and Uranus. Threats and ultimatums may be intimidating but they won't lead to meaningful progress. Today, love is the entry pass to any worthwhile destination or lasting solution. Expect an inconvenient change of plans tonight. Being ready to stop, take a breath and suggest alternative options reduces stress levels. The late night atmosphere is very quiet as the Moon travels void of course. Moon in Libra v/c 9:42PM-12:00AM, Venus enters Libra.

The early morning hours sizzle with love's sweetness. Overhead there's an especially fine celestial show. Look to the southeast before dawn. Jupiter, Mars, Venus and the Moon are the morning stars. The curve of a loved one's cheek, the promise of sunrise, a trilling bird or squawking jay, mist on a meadow and other examples of Mother Nature's artistry inspire and soothe. The Virgo Moon passes by Mars and loving Venus, then goes void of course for a few hours respite, making the mid-morning period a good time to catch up on sleep. By late morning the Moon is in Libra and the day takes a different tack. It may become clear that a certain partnership is paramount among all others. Good form, civility and decorum are called for tonight. Moon in Virgo v/c 7:47AM-10:14AM Moon enters Libra.

On this bright, cheerful morning the fires of idealism are burning, fueled by mental Mercury's sextile with Neptune and a lunar conjunction with Jupiter. Think big. Dare to dream. Make ambitious plans. The Virgo Moon supports meticulous attention to detail in all matters, big and small. The wrap up of the working week is thus very fruitful. Follow your social inclinations this evening. New friendships are likely to form and old ones blossom as the Moon, Mars and Venus are all approaching the lunar north node at the first degree of Libra, the balancing sign of marriage, peace, love, and beauty. Be at your charming best! Moon in Virgo, Mercury trine Neptune.

Early risers must contend with a lunar square to Saturn. The sobering aspect can sap vitality and bring worries. Fortunately, the Virgo Moon soon brightens outlooks and expedites travel and communications via a constructive sextile with Mercury. Make your good intentions known today. A late morning lunar opposition to Neptune awakens charitable impulses but the alignment can also lead some folks into a quagmire of daydreams, excuse making and what ifs. The Sun and Pluto are also forming a potent sextile which is exact late tonight. This "two heads are better than one" alignment enables partners, friends and co-workers to share key information and give one another valuable feedback. Coordinated efforts, talents and resources are formidable. Moon in Virgo, Sun sextile Pluto.

A void of course Leo Moon period extends throughout nearly the entire day, from midnight until well after dark. Lunar inactivity, coupled with a lack of planetary aspects produces a low key yet creative atmosphere. Because Leo is also a sign connected with leadership, this is a good time to note inner longings and follow your heart. If you do, self-respect is likely to grow. As with any void of course Moon, it's best to take some precautions. Avoid starting new projects, making expensive purchases and investments, or critical decisions. There are better opportunities for moving ahead later in the week. Moon in Leo v/c 12:00AM-9:22PM Moon enters Virgo.

There's a powerful Last Quarter Leo Moon to contend with early this morning. For some, the aspect is motivating. Others find it difficult to cooperate. Stubborn pride can be burdensome. It may be necessary to temporarily forego individual preferences in the interest of keeping the peace with partners. Any friction soon dissipates and the day proceeds with more easy-going and confident grace. A lunar trine to Uranus during the evening helps foster teamwork as well as giddy anticipation of better days ahead. The trine also increases intuitive awareness. Pay attention to psychic impressions, esoteric symbols, spirit messengers and gut hunches. Spur of the moment action is encouraged. The Moon goes void of course tonight, slowing life to a more relaxed and restful pace. Moon in Leo, Last Quarter Moon in Leo 7:24AM, Moon in Leo v/c 8:46PM-12:00AM.

Mercury and the Moon begin the day at odds. During the wee hours of the morning the winged messenger quietly slips into Scorpio and the Moon enters Leo as midday nears. Their testing square may find some folks faced with a communications breakdown. Finding the right words could be tough but don't stop trying. The afternoon brings vastly improved moods. Momentum returns and productivity increases. It's a good time to meet with bosses, elders and other authority figures and to make important decisions. The day is capped off by a delightfully passionate conjunction of Venus and Mars. Happiness, gratitude and celebrations make the world turn tonight. Moon in Cancer v/c 12:00AM-10:48AM Moon enters Leo, Mercury enters Scorpio, Venus conjunct Mars.

The morning's contrasting celestial influences find some folks steadfastly optimistic while others gamely struggle to have things go their way. Seeing the good, whether stuck in a stressful impasse or faced with an unnerving situation, leads to positive developments, but don't force the pace. Sudden moves carry risks. Adapt your plans as needed. Calmer, more loving vibes increase later in the day. After nightfall the Cancer Moon is in sextile with both loving Venus and sexy Mars. Share and savor the warm coziness of a familiar haunt or stay home. Head into the kitchen and whip up a healthy seasonal treat. There's nothing like whiling away a few hours curled up on the sofa with your special someone or four-legged buddy. Moon in Cancer v/c 10:35PM-12:00AM, Standard Time begins 2:00AM.

The Moon is in "there's no place like home" Cancer. Besides getting ready for evening trick or treaters, parties and the like, household chores and family matters are natural concerns today. Loyalties run deep and strong. Providentially, as the Sun sets, the Moon is in Grand Trine harmony with mysterious Neptune and the Scorpio Sun. Under the gathering darkness ghosts, goblins and other spirits feel close at hand. Those kids of all ages putting on costumes are motivated and inspired. Party-goers will enjoy a magical atmosphere. A word of caution is offered to night owls. Treat others with proper respect and keep your distance from disagreeable types. And don't forget to set your clock back one hour before you go to sleep. Happy Halloween! Moon in Gemini v/c 12:00AM-5:09AM Moon enters Cancer.

The day begins at a brisk pace with an anticipation of good things to come. By late morning tensions may be noted. Lunar squares to Venus and Mars lead some folks to more actively show their affections. Needs are also more keenly felt. If feelings are not mutually shared, there could be some socially awkward moments. Fortunately, the Scorpio Sun is forming a heart touching trine to dreamy Neptune. Any social missteps are quickly forgiven and forgotten, clearing the way for a fun evening. The lively Gemini Moon is in a fine trine with Mercury tonight. Gatherings are engaging. Stimulating conversations explore complex issues. Attention is sharp, at least until the Moon goes void of course an hour before midnight. Fatigue may quickly set in as the hours grow late. Moon in Gemini v/c 10:52PM-12:00AM, Sun trine Neptune.

The Gemini Moon sharpens senses and wits, but also sets off endless discussions about the multiple meanings of words and things, and different possible outcomes. A lunar square to no-nonsense Saturn curtails some chatter and debate this morning but the Moon is part of a bigger configuration, also testing Neptune and Jupiter late tonight. Do what you can to open clear channels of communication. Speak to the point. Choose words that can't be misconstrued. Repeat yourself until you're certain your words are understood. These same aspects may also trigger fascinating flights of imagination as well as inspire creativity. Let your mind wander at will. Not everything has to make perfect sense all the time. Moon in Taurus v/c 12:00AM-2:24AM Moon enters Gemini.

Take care of business this morning. The Taurus Moon is as busy as an autumn bee, storing away food and energy for the long winter months. Sunny lunar trines to Venus, Jupiter and Mars set an upbeat, "can-do" tone and set a brisk pace. The cheerfully active period lasts until late morning. By noon the Moon is sailing void of course. Initiative fades and moods grow quiet and more reflective. This mellow second half of the day is a good chance to catch your breath after several hectic days. Attend to regular chores and obligations. Leave new initiatives, conferences and decisions for another time. Moon in Taurus v/c 11:20AM-12:00AM.

Launching the new day with celestial flair, the energizing Taurus Moon is perfectly full this morning at 8:05AM. Stubbornly grounded practicality and an appreciation of mystical objects and experiences can make this day feel very special. The Moon, Pluto and Jupiter form a captivating Grand Trine in Earth signs. The configuration bodes well for business. People of all different political stripes are motivated to make more efficient use of precious resources. It's a great time to direct your feet on to more solid financial and spiritual ground. Psychic, empathic and imaginative folks receive answers to requests and prayers. Moon in Aries v/c 12:00AM-2:07AM Moon enters Taurus, Full Moon in Taurus 8:05AM.

Some people may mistake the prickly morning energy for a Mercury retrograde. But no, the Winged Messenger is not retrograde. The nearly full Aries Moon is conjunct Uranus and opposite Mercury. Minds, mouths and tech gear can easily misbehave under theses trying influences. Luckily, this unpredictable energy tide only lasts into early morning. The Moon is then void of course until midnight tonight. There's plenty of time and space for wild, weird and wonderful things to happen. Tune in to your inner child self and ask for guidance. Observe the usual v/c Moon rules. Be creative but make no big ticket buys. Put off the signing of contracts and other commitments. Today's happenings are subject to review and revision. Moon in Aries v/c 8:26AM-12:00AM.

Full Moon fever is beginning to rise. The waxing Aries Moon is just two days away from being full. A splendid late afternoon conjunction of Venus and Jupiter instills confidence and deep appreciation of life's fine blessings. Good will is prevalent and gatherings are blessed but a tense angle between mental Mercury and Uranus presents possible communication challenges. Irreverence tempts some and other folks elect to play devil's advocate. Harsh words cannot support closeness, trust and intimacy. Take full advantage of the bountiful Venus/Jupiter conjunction. Be kind and helpful, especially to those less fortunate than you. Moon in Pisces v/c 12:00AM-2:22AM Moon enters Aries, Venus conjunct Jupiter, Mercury opposite Uranus.
