Event Type : Daily Overview

Tuesday, OCTOBER 1

The Moon continues its transit of Virgo until 6:19 PM EDT, when it moves into Libra. More than usual, we seek balance today, first through tidying our lives through working on details while the Moon is in Virgo, and later, through harmonizing. We’re idealistic and considerate.

Still, on this day before a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra, it’s best to wind down and avoid new beginnings. Instead, it’s a good time to reflect on what we want to improve.

A Venus-Ceres aspect coming into play as the day advances suggests we can feel pleasantly attached to others. We find nurturing and supporting people in our lives more natural.

Wednesday, OCTOBER 2

The New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs today at 2:50 PM EDT. With this eclipse occurring in the sign of Libra, the focus is on negotiating, partnering, and creating harmony and balance. It’s about new beginnings regarding these issues, and long-term changes are in the works!

This eclipse is the fifth in an Aries-Libra set of six with us from April 2023 to March 2025. It can highlight and challenge our issues surrounding partnerships and in/dependence. While we’ve been building our independence and working on assertiveness, we’re now prompted to consider healthy relating and how it affects the process.

Circumstances nudge us to see where we have fallen out of balance. Ultimately, we are better positioned to understand that changes or endings are necessary for our growth.

However, with the eclipse occurring now, we remain symbolically in the dark, and it’s best to take our time with new beginnings. Occurring at the time of a Superior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury, an epiphany, illumination of a matter, or a clearing of the air is even more likely and significant.

We are sharp, communicative, and open at this time, and what we say or write now has a strong impact, for better or worse! An idea or plan can come to full bloom.

With Mercury’s sesquiquadrate with Uranus today, there could be minor missteps or surprising turnarounds. While our minds are open to possibilities, there can be some mental disorganization to manage.

Main Astrology Calendar

Thursday, OCTOBER 3

The Moon spends the day in gracious Libra, and we’re looking for balance. Moderation is appealing now.

A Venus-Neptune minor square today might seduce us into believing things we want to believe. While glossing over the more realistic points, details, and flaws of circumstances and people might feel good at the moment, it’s best to hold off on making important purchases or relationship decisions until the veil lifts.

Later today, however, Mercury heads toward a quincunx with Saturn (exact early tomorrow), and mental anxiety can interfere with making good, practical choices. There can be communication challenges or mental blocks. Doubts might slow down our movements and initiatives.

Still, however annoying, it can be a helpful process as we take a break from pushing ahead to check in with our objectives.

Main Astrology Calendar

Friday, OCTOBER 4

The Sun forms a sesquiquadrate with Uranus this morning, suggesting we want to make a move, but we may not know where to begin or where to go with our intentions just for now. While unexpected changes in plans or events can test our patience, they might also bring on new approaches, leading to useful, instructive, or interesting detours.

As the day advances, Venus forms a trine with Saturn, helping us sort out our feelings. We might demonstrate our affection through practical support, service, and shows of loyalty. This influence reminds us of the value of constancy and reliability. We approach love, relationships, money, or pleasure-seeking more maturely, responsibly, and with a level head. It can also be a time when we enjoy our responsibilities, work, or duties more than usual.

The Moon is void from 6:40 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Pluto), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 7:23 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Saturday, OCTOBER 5

The Moon spends the day in Scorpio, encouraging us to uncover the hidden layers of any given situation. A Venus-Jupiter biquintile midday inspires cooperation in situations that call for it. We give one another the benefit of the doubt. In fact, it can feel good to put our faith in someone or something now.

However, we’re heading toward a Mercury-Mars square, exact early tomorrow, that can be agitating. With this aspect influencing the day, we should watch for hasty communications and skipping steps. We can find ourselves too quickly in disagreement, likely because we’re communicating ineffectively or impatiently.

For example, we may be competing for the floor when expressing our ideas, thoughts, and opinions, making it difficult to engage in healthy dialogue. However, it’s a strong aspect for agitating things enough that we’re asking questions.

Main Astrology Calendar

Sunday, OCTOBER 6

Very early today, the Mercury-Mars square perfects, animating or agitating our communications and thoughts.

However, the Sun forms a quincunx with Saturn today, and there can be a clash between our responsibilities and desire to enjoy ourselves. Doubts or lack of faith can temporarily slow us down and hinder our movements and initiatives.

Even so, this can be a helpful process as we take a break from pushing ahead. We might now see the need to adjust our plans based on new obligations or a reality check.

The Moon continues its transit of Scorpio until 7:35 PM EDT, boosting our desire for absorbing, meaningful experiences, after which the Moon enters Sagittarius. A Sagittarius Moon is less focused but more buoyant.

The Moon is void from 6:52 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Pluto), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 7:34 PM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, OCTOBER 7

Today’s Sagittarius Moon is curious, spirited, enthusiastic, and confident. We’re especially interested in what’s true and just with this Moon transit.

Creative aspects today incline us to want to pay special attention to a particular project or idea and develop it more fully. We might naturally adopt a comfortably strategic approach to our money and relationships. We prefer not to follow the crowd with our ideas and communications and approach technical matters with ingenuity. It’s a fine time to develop practical solutions to problems.

Mercury aligns with Juno, stimulating a strong desire to learn, reason things out, and gain knowledge as a means to empower ourselves. We seek a mental connection or rapport with others.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, OCTOBER 8

Venus forms a trine with Mars this morning, encouraging friendly competition. Our timing is natural in our relationships, business affairs, and the arts. This transit spurs us on and encourages the pursuit of our desires. It’s easy to act upon our social and romantic needs under its influence. We might bring more creativity to the work we do or the services we provide. It can be time to take a creative approach to our relationships and projects, and we’re particularly resourceful.

This transit supports flow and ease in close personal interactions without sacrificing engagement. We can make fruitful and fortunate connections, and business relationships and pursuits can prosper. We are also more interactive and charming than usual. Our close, intimate relationships, including those with family, can benefit the most.

Another harmonious aspect occurring this morning is a Mercury-Jupiter trine. This transit boosts our confidence and faith. Through conversations or musings, a positive outlook or hopefulness can emerge. We have more trust in the future, we seek a little extra meaning in our projects and experiences, and we can benefit from big-picture thinking. Our ideas are grand, our intentions noble, and we are more interested in learning and sharing the truth.

We might receive good news or offers now. Connecting with others comes more easily, and we tend to follow our curiosity. It’s a time of good feedback, interesting questions, important debates, inspiring messages, expanding theories, and news of justice or legal outcomes.

However, Mercury opposes Chiron, and there’s a chance of interpreting feedback as criticism. We should watch for misrepresenting ourselves. As we focus on the differences and weaknesses rather than the strong points, we may give too much weight to matters that don’t deserve attention. Ideally, we can moderate any overoptimism we’ve been entertaining without the need to go to the other extreme.

The Sagittarius Moon’s opposition to Jupiter further speaks to a theme of misinformation or exaggeration that we should watch. After all, Jupiter is reaching a retrograde station, exact tomorrow, and it can be difficult to see things clearly during this shift.

Main Astrology Calendar

Wednesday, OCTOBER 9

Jupiter stations and turns retrograde today, and will remain retrograde until February 4th, 2025. Slowing down projects or plans may be appropriate to gain perspective during this cycle that lasts almost four months. Initially, our enthusiasm and confidence might wane, and we may experience a crisis of faith or hope. “Luck” may be less overt while Jupiter is retrograde, but it’s a good time to look within and reassess recent goals. Note that Jupiter spends its retrograde entirely in the sign of Gemini.

Today, there can be a focus on sharing beliefs, morals, and values or on growing and improving through one another.

The Moon continues its transit of Sagittarius until 5:38 AM EDT, from which time the Moon transits organized, ambitious Capricorn.

The Moon is void from 1:54 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 5:38 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Thursday, OCTOBER 10

Today, the First Quarter Moon occurs, and we can experience tension or stress that motivates change. A crisis theme surrounds any quarter Moon phase as we feel compelled to take action. Shortly after, we become aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error.

Relationship and material goals tend to clash, causing some pressure or anxiety but also the will to improve.

Venus forms quincunxes to Jupiter and Chiron today, forming a yod pattern, as Jupiter and Chiron head toward a sextile. The need for perspective becomes obvious today as we face a dilemma or a choice that isn’t straightforward. Love, pleasure, or harmony are our mission, but beliefs, ideas, personal trauma, vulnerabilities, and insecurities can seem to get in the way.

We can experience some restlessness and indecision about putting ourselves out there. A strong desire for the pleasures of life is in emphasis, although our eyes can be bigger than our stomachs.

It can be challenging to find a balance between what we want to do and what we think we should do. Insecurity might make it awkward to express our affections naturally or flowingly.
