Weekly Summary: SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 4 "I did not imitate the skeptics who doubt only for doubting's sake, and pretend to be always undecided; on the contrary, my whole intention was to arrive at a certainty, and to dig away the drift and the sand until I reached the rock or the clay beneath."—Rene DescartesLast week's Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse (September 21st, 12:53 PM PDT 29° Virgo) suggested a particularly intense 'dark of the moon' period. But quickly, the Autumnal Equinox — the Sun's arrival in Libra — began to suggest significant breakthroughs. The Libra Sun's connections to Uranus, Pluto and Neptune in a potent 'kite' formation offered remarkable revelations. Even though we could begin to see potential breakthroughs, Libra's indecision was also highlighted, producing a confounding sense of uncertainty. As we reach the 1st quarter phase of the current lunar cycle this week, we might hope to find at least a tentative sense of purpose and control beginning to coalesce as the Moon's 'light' waxes. However, finding the structure that we need in order to truly follow through on our 'breakthrough' ideas and intentions continues to be elusive. This week's progress feels quite unsteady — 'shifting sands' and few tangible results — and offers no clear view of where we are actually heading. One of the only major planetary aspects that we see this week is Mercury's square to Jupiter, from Libra to Cancer. That square does keep our minds active with plenty of new, 'off-the-wall' ideas but also suggests that the self-discipline needed for follow-through may be lacking. Although gaining traction may seem daunting, there is a powerful, 'instinctive', and 'intuitive' creative process forming this week. Venus crosses the lunar South Node near the end of the week, suggesting that we're somewhat prone to trusting the wrong people in our attempts to put our agendas forward. But the Venus-South Node conjunction also offers important creative insight that can help us to clarify our true desires and intentions. Nonetheless, we will need to be cautious about putting our developing ideas in the hands of untrustworthy allies. As we approach next Monday's Aries Full Moon (8:47 PM PDT 14° Aries/Libra), we are more and more intent on finding an independent path forward. Compromise is, at best, an afterthought in our over-arching strategy. But the forming creative process improves our visionary ability, offering some indication that our intentions and the unconscious development of images (of success or achievement) that we are sorting through can begin to firm up as we move through this week. It is important to note that there will be one more activation of the potent 'kite' formation before the current lunar cycle completes. Venus will reach Libra on October 13th and complete the Grand Air Trine with Uranus and (stationary) Pluto on the 14th — while also opposing Neptune. In other words, we should not lose our faith that the breakthroughs are over. But rather, as the 'sands' shift and swirl this week, we will need to stay connected to the powerful, intuitive, instinctive creative process that is unfolding and stay open to further revelations. In essence, "don't give up five minutes before the miracle".
Idealism is stirred up on Sunday but we may be easily side-tracked or distracted. Not all of the opportunities that are presented are truly worthy of our attention. Instinct and intuition help us to begin to develop a new sense of purpose and direction on Monday. We may be easily tripped up by perfectionism in pursuit of an idealistic vision that isn't attainable. We're prone to spending a great deal of energy on our independent pursuits on Tuesday — some may find themselves actually ignoring the rules entirely in order to cut a new path. Trial and error may be the only way to find our way through the environment — some succeed, others fail. There are any number of 'off the wall' ideas floating around in Wednesday's atmosphere. There is actually significant potential for some surprising breakthroughs in those ideas. We are more and more intent on finding an independent path forward on Thursday. Compromise is, at best, an afterthought in our over-arching strategy. There is a powerful but delicate creative sensitivity in Friday's activity. While we may not feel as though we have much traction, there is a remarkably creative process underway that has yet to be fully revealed or understood. Challenges abound on Saturday as we struggle to maintain independence, avoid restrictions, but also gain approval from others. Much of the disruption comes from internal self-doubts and a waning sense of self-worth.

"Every day can be a good day"
This Daily Astrological Forecast is a bit different than most daily forecasts since it isn’t written for each individual Sun Sign. Rather, it is intended to be a bit like an Astrological Weather Report. To read more about this forecast, see this post
There seems to be a significant amount of idealism stirred up by the Moon's transit through the last degrees of Sagittarius today. A quincunx to Jupiter shortly after 11 AM PDT encourages increased activity that is a bit 'over the top'. Today's freedom is somewhat intoxicating but not well-grounded. Visualization and 'intention' will only get us so far before we're forced to 'roll up our sleeves and dig in' in order to actually manifest those intentions. Without strong direction, we're easily distracted or side-tracked today. As well, we need to be aware that not all of the apparent opportunities that surface today are truly worthy of our attention. The Moon squares Saturn this evening (10:43 PM PDT), likely helping to bring us 'back to Earth'.
The Moon is briefly VOC overnight, arriving in Capricorn early this morning (2:54 AM PDT). We arrive at the 1st quarter phase of the current lunar cycle today. We might hope to find at least a tentative sense of purpose and control. However, we aren't finding the structure that we need in order to truly follow through on our ideas and intentions. Nonetheless, the Moon's transit through Capricorn is bringing forward a powerful, 'instinctive' and 'intuitive' sense of direction and purpose. The 'pull' from this intuitive sense of direction is intense and quite overwhelming. There is quite a 'moth to the flame' quality about today's instinctive sense of direction and caution is needed. We may be easily tripped up by perfectionism in pursuit of an idealistic vision that isn't attainable.
There is significant struggle in today's activity, aimed at breaking free of restrictions. We're highly resistant to allowing 'conformity' to stall our progress. The challenges are most prominent if there is "insufficient direction, planning, or control" of our abilities. We're prone to spending a great deal of energy on our independent pursuits — some may find themselves actually ignoring the rules entirely in order to cut a new path. Trial and error may be the only way to find our way through this environment — some succeed, others fail. This evening's Moon-Jupiter opposition seems to encourage self-indulgent, self-righteousness, keeping us struggling with completely unrealistic attitudes. Nonetheless, with enough awareness and responsibility, surprising breakthrough success is quite possible here.
There are any number of 'off the wall' ideas floating around in today's atmosphere. A Mercury-Jupiter square dominates this environment. The Moon sextiles Saturn this morning (8:39 AM PDT) before going VOC until arriving in Aquarius 12:51 PM PDT this afternoon. The Moon's rulership of Jupiter from erratic but innovative Aquarius offers significant potential for surprising breakthroughs on some of those 'off the wall' ideas. However, as Venus approaches the Virgo South Node, we're somewhat prone to trusting the wrong people in our attempts to put our agendas forward. Venus won't complete the conjunction with the lunar South Node until early Saturday morning, but we need to be cautious about putting our ideas in the hands of untrustworthy allies.
As we approach next Monday's Aries Full Moon (8:47 PM PDT 14° Aries/Libra), we are more and more intent on finding an independent path forward. Compromise is, at best, an afterthought in our over-arching strategy. However, our specific goals are rather hazy and mainly seem to just center around 'breaking free' in order to pioneer something new. Today's atmosphere suggests that we're mainly interested in testing the wind's direction ahead of setting any kind of firm, definitive goals. Nonetheless, today's visionary ability does provide some indication that the unconscious images (of success or achievement) that we are sorting through are beginning to firm up. We will do well today to work with a close friend or support network in order to develop our ideas into real plans and strategies.
The Moon's trine to Mercury this morning (11:14 AM PDT) punctuates the Mercury-Chiron opposition. There is a powerful but delicate creative sensitivity in today's activity. The Moon is VOC following the trine to Mercury until arriving in Pisces this evening at 7:06 PM PDT. The Pisces Moon seems to free up even more creativity. Compromise is still quite challenging in this atmosphere as we determinedly pursue our independent creative ideas and inspirations. The sands are shifting as we approach the culmination of this lunar cycle next Monday. While we may not feel as though we have much traction, there is a remarkably creative process underway that has yet to be fully revealed or understood.
Challenges abound today as we struggle to maintain independence, avoid restrictions, but also gain approval from others. The creative impulses continue to drive us forward but there are few, if any, guidelines to help us achieve any kind of tangible, visible 'result'. Mercury's quincunx to Saturn can produce some challenges to our relationships with others when our self-discipline seems to break down. Much of the disruption comes from internal self-doubts and a waning sense of self-worth. Nonetheless, we still are not ready to adopt any kind of compromise in our approach. Today's overarching intention is geared towards freedom and independence, despite the strong desire for approval from others. The result is likely to create some significant discomfort.
Today is Monday October 06, 2025
Weekly Summary: OCTOBER 5 - OCTOBER 11 "In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth."—Patti SmithThe current lunar cycle 'culminates' this week with an Aries Full Moon (8:47 PM PDT 14° Aries/Libra) on Monday evening. But this lunar cycle continues to confound even with the culmination. There aren't any apparent 'straight lines' between the beginning of the lunar cycle at the 'particularly dark' Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse (September 21, 12:53 PM PDT 29° Virgo) and this week's Full Moon. With the Sun and Mercury in Libra, we may have believed we'd like to find compromise. But uncertainty and indecision seemed to persist. Mercury and Venus have been in 'mutual reception' since September 19th, offering help to 'ferret out' meaning and better understanding — but have brought us to few conclusions. Independent Mars has become firmly entrenched in Scorpio with a head full of determined independence that keeps us digging for certainty. Mercury leaves the helpful (but indecisive) connection to Venus to join Mars in Scorpio just before the Full Moon. The culmination of these energies at the Full Moon seems to produce less of a clear culmination and more of a sharp turn or unexpected veer — followed up by a Mercury-Pluto square that is likely to abandon any search for compromise. But the decisiveness lands quite hard — stubborn determination replaces indecision. Gone is the deference that was encouraged by the now ended Venus/Mercury mutual reception. Venus heads towards an opposition to Saturn this week, completing on Friday. The Venus-Saturn opposition, from Virgo to Pisces, can make trust hard to establish. The activation of the Pisces-Virgo axis — emphasized by the lunar nodes (South Node in Virgo/North Node in Pisces) — asks us to reconcile and balance material and spiritual values. Recognizing that the message of this lunar cycle is, in fact, about learning how to balance these values, may bring us to a profound sense of relief — and peace. The chaos and discomfort at the end of the week is likely to seem quite intense but may not actually be as threatening as we may believe. Feelings of vulnerability are difficult but brief. What is likely most important is acknowledging and empathizing with the discomfort in others rather than solely focusing on our own sense of vulnerability. It is also important to recognize that Venus will reach the Libra threshold next week (October 13) and again form the remarkable 'kite' formation we previously saw with Mars (August 6th), Mercury (September 18th), and the Sun (September 22 — the Equinox). We can expect further insights and revelations to come out of that connection that follows up on those past connections.
Emotion and intuition bring some constructive insights on Sunday but our confidence is getting shaky. Our intuition improves as we got through the day but is increasingly overshadowed by the building imperatives of the Full Moon. Monday's Full Moon's activity seems to push us away from open interaction and compromise. However, there are underlying rhythms that are difficult to fully understand which have brought this lunar cycle to a tricky culmination. Tuesday afternoon and evening's competitiveness is dialed up but subtlety is more effective. Stubborn determination replaces indecision but finding compromise becomes more difficult. We need to be prepared to jettison impulsiveness on Wednesday and perhaps reexamine some of our past actions in order to lay the groundwork for finding a 'better way' . Direct expression somewhat difficult. The openings that we find on Thursday may be surprising or fully expected, Either way, there is a fresh start offered. Despite Friday's activating atmosphere, establishing any sort of practical action is challenging. We need to focus on compassion towards others and avoid being too hard on ourselves. There is a deep sense of vulnerability on Saturday but we may be tempted to keep any vulnerability hidden or obscured rather than 'face the music' in any definitive way. Ultimately, there is no way to keep this chaos under wraps but the outcomes are not likely to be nearly as devastating as we may believe.
Sunday October 05, 2025
The Moon conjuncts the North Node and opposes Venus early this morning before heading into a trine to Jupiter by 10:15 AM PDT. Emotion and intuition bring some constructive insights but our confidence is getting shaky. The activation of the Pisces-Virgo axis is encouraging us to reconcile and balance material and spiritual values. But with Mercury in Libra, we are still holding on to some uncertainty. Once Mercury arrives in Scorpio, just before tomorrow's Aries Full Moon (8:47 PM PDT 14° Aries/Libra), it will be easier to firmly land on a 'defensible position'. Until then, we may remain somewhat at loose ends. The Moon-Saturn conjunction at 5:29 PM PDT does help to clarify our foggy intuition — but then the Moon goes VOC until arriving in Aries at 9:47 PM PDT. The Moon quickly makes an inspiring conjunction with Neptune but our intuition is increasingly overshadowed by the building imperatives of the Full Moon.Monday October 06, 2025
Although Full Moons suggest some kind of 'culmination', this evening's Aries Full Moon (8:47 PM PDT 14° Aries/Libra) suggests an unexpected 'veer' into entirely new territory — it isn't clear what is actually coming to 'fruition'. Mercury's arrival into Scorpio this morning (9:40 AM PDT) provides increased decisiveness but little preparation for the commitments that are demanded. The gears 'grind' — (the participles dangle?) — and "discriminating strength and determined compromise" is needed. The Full Moon's activity continues to push us away from open interaction and compromise. However, there are underlying rhythms that are difficult to fully understand which have brought this lunar cycle to a tricky culmination. Nonetheless, with responsibility, there is an extraordinary level of protection that can help us to dramatically expand our awareness.Tuesday October 07, 2025
Mercury in Scorpio has begun to help us develop some 'decisiveness' — but we may be prone to landing a bit too hard on one particular idea — stubborn determination has replaced indecision and neither helps find compromise. Gone is the deference that was encouraged by the now ended Venus/Mercury mutual reception. Mercury squares (the nearly direct) Pluto this morning (7:40 AM PDT). That square is followed up by a rather aggressive and self-righteous Moon-Jupiter square (11:23 AM PDT) after which the Moon is VOC until arriving in Taurus late this evening (10:12 PM PDT). The afternoon and evening competitiveness is dialed up but subtlety is more effective. It is possible that the Moon-Jupiter square only leads us into a rather indolent and self-indulgent apathy — which might actually be less disruptive.Wednesday October 08, 2025
The Moon's overnight square to Pluto and opposition to Mercury is smoothed over by today's Venus-Jupiter sextile. Nonetheless, we'll do better to take it 'slow and easy' today. The Taurus Moon opposes Mars this afternoon (4:15 PM PDT) which seems to make clear, direct expression somewhat difficult. However, there are important insights developing that can help find the clarity that we has often been lacking throughout the current lunar cycle. But that clarity will only be found 'at depth', through patience and respect. We need to be prepared to jettison impulsiveness and perhaps reexamine some of our past actions in order to lay the groundwork for finding a 'better way' — something that may spontaneously surface tomorrow.Thursday October 09, 2025
The openings that we find today may be surprising or fully expected, Either way, there is a fresh start offered by the Moon's trine to Venus and sextiles to Jupiter and Saturn. Today's success rests on methodical, 'step by step' action, carefully processed and well-thought out. As Venus approaches an opposition to Saturn, which will complete early on Saturday morning, we will need to acknowledge issues related to trust, as well as offer a great deal of compassion. Today's lunar activity is actually foreshadowing the nearly exact Saturn-Jupiter trine (closest at the middle of next month) from Pisces to Cancer. The exact trine will complete for the first time at the beginning of September, 2026. The context will be quite different next year but we are beginning to get an important 'taste' of the interaction. The Jupiter-Saturn trine helps us to balance expansiveness and self-control. The Moon is VOC this evening from 5:30 PM PDT until 10:11 AM PDT and will conjunct Uranus just before midnight.Friday October 10, 2025
Despite today's activating atmosphere, establishing any sort of practical action is challenging. The developing Venus-Saturn opposition is making trust increasingly difficult to establish. Although this atmosphere is not particularly threatening, it is certainly uncomfortable. Most of the fallout of this discomfort will surface tomorrow under the Mutable T-Square — Moon/Venus/Saturn, when a rather chaotic unwinding is likely to develop. Today's responsibility and discriminating approach will serve to keep tomorrow's chaos under control. We need to focus on compassion towards others and avoid being too hard on ourselves.Saturday October 11, 2025
The Moon's transit through Gemini today stirs up a significant amount of chaos. Venus opposes Saturn early in the day (4:10 AM PDT) while, at the same time, the Moon makes a trine to the Sun in Libra — interaction is stirred up at the same time we're feeling quite vulnerable. The process isn't complete until the Moon makes squares to Saturn (6:29 PM PDT) and Venus (7:55 PM PDT) this evening. There is a deep sense of vulnerability here but we may be tempted to keep any vulnerability hidden or obscured rather than 'face the music' in any definitive way. Ultimately, there is no way to keep this chaos under wraps and the outcomes are not likely to be nearly as devastating as we may believe. Of note, a Moon-Chiron sextile precedes the Moon's squares to Venus and Saturn, point to the importance of acknowledging and empathizing with the discomfort that others are feeling instead of solely focusing on our own sense of vulnerability.
Weekly Summary: OCTOBER 12 - OCTOBER 18 "Disorder is inherent in stability. Civilized man doesn't understand stability. He's confused it with rigidity…
…True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed."—Tom Robbins
Even Cowgirls Get the BluesThe waning Moon actually helps to break down intransigence this week. Last week's Aries Full Moon (October 6, 8:47 PM PDT 14° Aries/Libra) may have stirred up a great deal of activity and determination but it has slowly developed into a kind of rigid inertia. However, we can begin to feel a developing Grand Water trine with Monday's Scorpio Moon activating the forming Saturn-Jupiter trine. There are strong emotions — funneled through creativity, empathy, and intuition — that are wearing away rigidity in unpredictable ways. The Moon quietly and subtly highlights this slowly developing configuration that will strengthen through the end of this month as Mercury and Mars bring the Water sign energy to a 'boil'. Jupiter (in Cancer) and Saturn (in Pisces) are nearing an exact trine — not fully perfected until next year — which will be stirred to action by the motion of both Mercury and Mars in Scorpio — to form a Grand Water trine under the next lunar cycle that begins next Tuesday (October 21st). The quality of this week's energies under the increasingly prevalent Water Sign emphasis shifts our focus to the power of strong emotions — for better or worse. There are significant tendencies towards impulsiveness, along with heightened idealistic optimism that may be easily dashed or derailed. Nonetheless, as the Water sign energy begins to form 'cracks in the dam' of intransigence and rigidity, there are important opportunities for compromise and surprising breakthroughs. Venus arrives in Libra on Monday (2:18 PM PDT), forming another 'kite' configuration with Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The formation echoes the connections made by Mars (August 6th), Mercury (September 18th), and the Sun (September 22 — the Equinox). This last 'kite' formation of the year brings new breakthroughs and revelations. Also on Monday, Pluto officially stations direct, opening our path to remarkable, transformative opportunities. Later in the week, an intense, crisis-driven Sun-Jupiter-Chiron cardinal T-square demands that we find some kind of balance, allowing all of the freedom to others that we are wanting for ourselves — without sacrificing our own position or perspective. Venus, now at home in Libra, would like to keep the peace so much that we may feel encouraged — or pressured — to 'go along to get along', without effectively protecting our own individual perspective. Mercury is heading into a conjunction with Mars that will complete at next Tuesday's Libra New Moon (5:24 AM PDT 28° Libra), suggesting that we may be prone to going too far in either direction — too aggressive or too conciliatory — without the necessary balance. Despite the fact that the Moon is waning in light, this week's intensity certainly seems to 'keep us on our toes'. Ultimately, the key seems to be to stay balanced enough to lay a solid foundation for the new initiatives that will become available once we reach the new lunar cycle next Tuesday. Perhaps the biggest challenge that we face is effectively communicating our vision of those new initiatives to those around us. Responsibility, determination, and perseverance are all important to staying on track long enough to reach a New Beginning.
We may feel a bit 'talked out' on Sunday. Perhaps most important is to find ways to establish both intuitive and material 'fronts' in our attempt to break free of what ever feels 'stuck'. Monday's breakthroughs help us to push forward on goals — and even dreams — that may have seemed to stalled up to this point. A path to remarkable, transformative opportunities is opened. Many of Tuesday's opportunities can quickly slip through our fingers if we aren't 'paying attention'. While detachment can sometimes help us to see more clearly, there is some potential to dip into nihilistic fatalism and abandon our individual responsibility to stay engaged in the process. Communication is intensely challenging on Wednesday but offers important gains through perseverance. Finding an opening for some kind of compromise requires close attention and steady effort throughout the day. The increasingly heightened emotional atmosphere on Thursday is a 'double-edged sword', providing healing creativity but also potentially 'overflowing' in unpredictable ways. There is also an element of 'divine grace' that is activated, opening the door to extraordinarily powerful healing resolutions. With some degree of awareness, we can begin to reestablish our balance on Friday. We need to allow all of the freedom to others that we may be wanting for ourselves — without sacrificing our own position or perspective. The stakes are raised on Saturday for finding some kind of balanced approach. Perhaps the biggest challenge that we face is effectively communicating our vision of new initiatives to those around us.
Sunday October 12, 2025
Last Monday's Aries Full Moon (8:47 PM PDT 14° Aries/Libra) may have stirred up a great deal of activity and determination but it has slowly developed into a kind of rigid inertia. The Libra Sun's inclination to interact may have only left us 'talked out' at this point. Nonetheless, we are beginning to see indications that strong emotions — funneled through creativity, empathy, and intuition — are wearing away at the intransigence in unpredictable ways. New patterns are forming that require heightened attention. The October 21st Libra New Moon (5:24 AM PDT 28° Libra) — next Tuesday — can help us to bring forward the plans that have begun to develop today. Perhaps most important here is to find ways to establish both intuitive and material 'fronts' in our attempt to break free of what ever feels 'stuck'.Monday October 13, 2025
Venus arrives in Libra today (2:18 PM PDT), forming another 'kite' configuration with Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The formation echoes the connections made by Mars (August 6th), Mercury (September 18th), and the Sun (September 22 — the Equinox). Meanwhile, the Moon is quietly and subtly highlighting a slowly developing Grand Water trine: Jupiter and Saturn are nearing an exact trine — not fully perfected until next year — which will be stirred to action by the motion of both Mercury and Mars in Scorpio — to form a Grand trine under the next lunar cycle that begins next Tuesday (October 21st). The Moon conjuncts Jupiter (4:48 PM PDT) just after the ingress of Venus into Libra. The Moon follows up with a trine to Saturn by 10:04 PM PDT. This helps us to push forward on goals — and even dreams — that may have seemed to stalled up to this point. Importantly, Pluto stations direct today, opening the path to remarkable, transformative opportunities. Tuesday October 14, 2025
The Moon is briefly VOC this morning following last night's Moon-Saturn trine. Arriving in Leo early this morning (3:46 AM PDT), the Moon makes an opposition to stationary direct Pluto by 6:14 AM PDT. The Moon also trines Neptune and sextiles Venus and Uranus. Essentially, we are offered a powerful pivot point today, revealing remarkable opportunities and surprising breakthroughs. While we may find that seems to go easier today, we need to stay alert for unexpected developments — we should not take things 'for granted'. Many of today's opportunities can quickly slip through our fingers if we aren't 'paying attention'. While detachment can sometimes help us to see more clearly, there is some potential to dip into nihilistic fatalism and abandon our individual responsibility to stay engaged in the process.Wednesday October 15, 2025
Communication is intensely challenging today but offers important gains through perseverance. The Moon's square to Mars this morning (8:49 AM PDT) is likely to 'set up the battle lines'. Finding an opening for some kind of compromise requires close attention and steady effort throughout the day. We should be especially careful not to assume that we fully understand any opposing viewpoints. As well, we should not ignore the variety of alternative perspectives that can help us to adjust and adapt to the incredible amount of new information that has be revealed over the past few days. In essence, today begins to show us where the 'cracks in the dam' are beginning to show signs of giving way.Thursday October 16, 2025
The Moon is VOC this morning until arriving in Virgo at 11:05 AM PDT to quickly form a square to Uranus — completing at 12:36 PM PDT. There is some degree of chaos initiated which creates some discomfort or 'mental strain'. To some extent, our emotions are creating some challenging impulsiveness that demands attention and balance. A Sun-Jupiter-Chiron cardinal T-square, completing tomorrow afternoon with the Sun's opposition to Chiron, encourages an idealistic optimism that is easily dashed or derailed if we can't manage to maintain objectivity and an independent perspective. The increasingly heightened emotional atmosphere is a 'double-edged sword', providing healing creativity but also potentially 'overflowing' in unpredictable ways. There is also an element of 'divine grace' that is activated here which opens the door to extraordinarily powerful healing resolutions.Friday October 17, 2025
With some degree of awareness, we can begin to reestablish our balance today, following yesterday's rather destabilizing environment. Nonetheless, today's Sun-Chiron opposition and residual effect of the square from Jupiter, demands (rather than suggests) balance. In other words, we need to allow all of the freedom to others that we may be wanting for ourselves — without sacrificing our own position or perspective. This may not be a easy as we would like to think. Venus, now at home in Libra, would like to keep the peace so much that we may feel encouraged — or pressured — to 'go along to get along', without effectively protecting our own individual perspective. However, Mercury is heading into a conjunction with Mars that will complete at next Tuesday's Libra New Moon (5:24 AM PDT 28-deg Libra), suggesting that we may be prone to going too far in either direction — too aggressive or too conciliatory — without the necessary balance.Saturday October 18, 2025
Today's Moon-Saturn opposition (2:10 PM PDT) raises the stakes for finding some kind of balanced approach. The Sun is approaching a quincunx to Saturn that will complete tomorrow, suggesting that we will need to see 'around a blind corner' — or have enough faith — to move forward with any degree of confidence. Despite the fact that the Moon is waning in light, this week's intensity has certainly seemed to 'keep us on our toes'. Ultimately, the key seems to be to stay balanced enough to lay a solid foundation for the new initiatives that will become available once we reach the new lunar cycle on Tuesday. Perhaps the biggest challenge that we face is effectively communicating our vision of those new initiatives to those around us. Responsibility, determination, and perseverance are all important to staying on track long enough to reach a New Beginning.
