Sunday, OCTOBER 17

The Sun forms a square to Pluto today. While the recent Sun-Jupiter trine stimulated hopefulness and generosity, today’s Sun-Pluto square can bring fears and buried matter to the surface. It becomes difficult to put our faith and trust in others (or in life/the process). We might act and express ourselves somewhat compulsively, or we could be too insistent on having our way or pushing our ideas upon others.

Circumstances now can push us to discover our inner power, which comes from a strong sense of self rather than superficial energy derived from manipulating people into doing what we want them to do. This aspect helps us identify areas of over-attachment, but we may find it difficult to let go and unwind while it’s active. We should watch for a bit of paranoia or suspicion that works against us. It’s best to aim for self-control now.

As the day advances, it’s easier to let go, but with Mercury and Jupiter stationing direct tomorrow, it’s best to avoid making important decisions if we can help it. The Moon spends the day in imaginative, perceptive Pisces.

The void Moon occurs from 7:24 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aries the next day, Monday, October 18th, at 6:05 AM EDT.
