Event Type : Daily Overview

Saturday, OCTOBER 1

Venus opposes Jupiter today, and over-inflated expectations or the tendency to overstate our affections or overvalue things can play with our happiness. Inner discontent and desire for more from life than daily routines can figure strongly. The desire to experience something new or more freedom to explore can express itself as restlessness if we don’t know what we want. This is a better time to make minor adjustments to help free ourselves up for different experiences than it is for big moves, as much as we may want to go over the top.

Venus also forms a minor square to Uranus today, heading toward a minor square to Saturn, highlighting discontent with the current state of our relationships, money, or pleasures.

The Moon spends the day in Sagittarius, further stirring the desire to grow and expand, and we can be quick to react. 

The void Moon occurs from 5:47 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mercury), until the Moon enters Capricorn the next day, Sunday, October 2nd, at 3:39 AM EDT.

Sunday, OCTOBER 2

Mercury stations and turns direct today after retrograde motion since September 9th. We’ve been in a good position to reevaluate our routines and habits, and we’ve given more thought to the meaning of our work or services. Now, Mercury retraces its steps, completing its transit of Virgo on the 10th when it enters Libra once again. Information unclogs.

Over the coming weeks, recent problems with communications and decision-making should improve. The answers we’ve been waiting for can arrive. And, plans or projects that have stalled might now resume. We can be flooded with energies that are hard to make sense of during the shift today, however, and it’s a better day to take in than to take action. It’s also a good idea not to rush conversations or share observations.

Venus forms a minor square with Saturn this morning, and there can be some anxiety or troubles with matters concerned with feelings and affections until we get in touch with our actual needs and wants.

The Moon heads into Capricorn early today, and the First Quarter Moon is exact tonight when the Capricorn Moon forms a square to the Sun in Libra. There is a crisis theme surrounding 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. It’s a time of stress, but it’s the kind of tension that motivates us to make changes.

The void Moon continues until the Moon enters Capricorn at 3:39 AM EDT.
