Thursday, OCTOBER 16

The Moon continues its transit of Leo until 2:06 PM EDT, when it heads into Virgo. We can move from a playful to a workhorse frame of mind with this Moon sign change. The desire — or need — to tidy up our affairs is prominent. Being busy and making headway satisfies us more than usual.

The Virgo Moon can stir a craving for order and clarity. Emotional satisfaction comes from solving problems, creating order out of confusion, and helping others. Health matters might come into stronger focus.

Still, we head towards a Sun-Jupiter square and Mercury-Neptune sesquiquadrate, both exact early tomorrow, making it less than ideal for clear thinking and handling details later today.

We might avoid confrontation by attempting to sidestep issues or take an indirect approach. At the same time, we can find ourselves eager to expand, but while our plans and ideas are big, we’re reminded of the limits of our capabilities and must adjust accordingly.

Consider that there’s an inclination to extravagance and overreaching. While the Sun’s square to Jupiter can stimulate much optimism and elevated moods, our state of mind is fragile as things are overblown or unrealistic. We can feel some discontent, leading us to seek more meaning, growth, or change.

We should be cautious not to overreach in this quest, overestimating our energy levels or the time we might invest in a commitment. We would do well to remind ourselves that going bigger isn’t always in our best interests.

The Moon is void from 1:07 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to the Sun), until the Moon enters Virgo at 2:06 PM EDT.
