Sunday, OCTOBER 18

The Moon continues its transit of Capricorn until 9:41 PM EDT, and we’re in a strong position to consider our long-term or professional goals, ambitions, responsibilities, and performance.

The First Quarter Moon occurs today at 12:13 PM EDT. This phase can bring tension or stress that motivates change, highlighting the potential for growth. A crisis theme surrounds any quarter Moon phase as we feel compelled to take action. Shortly after, we become aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error. Relationship and material goals tend to clash, creating pressure or anxiety, but also a will to improve.

The Moon in Aquarius from 9:41 PM onward draws us to the unusual and unconventional.

Our plans may reach a point of testing or reality checks today as Saturn joins with Pallas in Aries. While we may question some of our methods, we might also find wisdom in traditional methods and work on bringing structure and robust design to our current projects. We’re taking our personal plans and obligations quite seriously.

The Moon is void from 12:13 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to the Sun), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 9:41 PM EDT.
