Saturday, OCTOBER 10

The Moon’s transit of Cancer is tricky today due to its challenging aspects–most notably, a square to Mars and then oppositions to Pluto and Saturn. These stir up activity and challenges, which can be disruptive or at odds with our emotional orientation. We seek out comfort and familiarity with a Cancer Moon. With much attention to our relationships, careers, and personal plans recently, a push for considering our emotional needs occurs now, although conflicts ensue as we do. We can be especially emotionally involved with the pressures we’ve been feeling to improve and grow.

While the Moon in Cancer inclines us to seek the familiar and safe, a Venus-Uranus trine encourages us to innovate. We tend to entertain unusual cravings. We are a little more open-minded with relationships, business, pleasures, or entertainment, which can open up new opportunities. We’re ready to explore and experiment as we feel a need to break away from our usual choices. Furthermore, we’re intrigued by our differences rather than rattled by them, easing interactions. We might discover alternative ways to make (or spend) money. We’re freer with our feelings, although a little detached, and we find beauty in the unfamiliar or uncommon. The Moon continues its transit of Cancer until 8:24 PM EDT when it enters Leo.

The void Moon occurs from 12:04 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Saturn), until the Moon enters Leo at 8:24 PM EDT.
