Thursday, OCTOBER 1

The Moon spends the day in analytical, connected Gemini. Venus and the Sun form a semi-sextile today, and we may feel our quest for pleasure, affection, love, or comfort is at odds with what we think we should be doing, which can lead to mild tension, guilt, and perhaps indecision. The goal is to fulfill both needs without doing so at the expense of the other.

Today’s Venus-Uranus contra-parallel can serve to raise some questions of freedom, change, specialness, and experimentation in our relationships and even our pastimes, purchases, and pleasures, stimulating some disdain for routine.

With a Mercury-Jupiter quintile, however, focusing on intellectual interests and problem-solving can be especially successful. It’s subtle energy but good for rounding out our thinking.

The Moon is void from 10:43 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Cancer tomorrow, Friday, October 2nd, at 3:55 PM EDT.
