Thursday, OCTOBER 12

Mars enters the sign of Scorpio today for a stay that will last until November 24th. In Scorpio, Mars is driven and focused on getting what it wants! Rarely backing down, we are persevering and single-minded, sometimes obsessively focused, under this influence. We gravitate to transformative and emotionally exciting experiences. We can also be secretive or simply not very forthcoming about our motivations, methods, and goals. It’s not always easy to call it a day or let something go. We are naturally strategic during this transit.

With Mercury quincunx Jupiter today, however, we may overestimate our abilities or underestimate the situation, or we might see-saw between alternatives. The Moon continues to transit concerned, thorough Virgo until 8:22 PM EDT, when it moves into fair-minded, gracious Libra.

The Moon is void from 4:10 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Pluto), until the Moon enters Libra at 8:22 PM EDT.
