Monday, OCTOBER 10

Venus opposes Chiron this morning, and there can be disappointments as we focus on the differences and weaknesses rather than the strong points in our interactions. Temporarily, we’re less confident about our relationships, social life, worth, money, or social skills. We are more aware and possibly resentful of imbalances in our relationships and insecure about whether our affections are reciprocated.

The Moon continues in bold Aries until 5:04 PM EDT, when it enters steady Taurus.

Mercury enters Libra today, where it will stay until the 29th. Mercury first moved into Libra on August 25th but turned retrograde on September 9th and retreated into Virgo on September 23rd.

With Mercury now in Libra, we bring a more rational approach to one-to-one relationships. It’s a good time to think about improving our negotiation skills. While it’s not a time for hard work or getting down to the nitty gritty, we’re in good shape for mending fences, socializing, and harmonizing. We prosper by communicating more effectively and diplomatically, mediating, negotiating, or compromising. Our thinking is moderate–we avoid extremes of opinion, preferring to be fair to all involved.

The void Moon occurs from 10:02 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Pluto), until the Moon enters Taurus at 5:04 PM EDT.
