Sunday, OCTOBER 19

The Moon enters Libra a couple of minutes into the day, and we’re seeking to balance our lives. This morning, with a Sun-Saturn quincunx, there can be a clash between our responsibilities and our desire to enjoy ourselves. Doubts or lack of faith can temporarily slow us down and hinder our movements and initiatives.

Even so, this can be a helpful process as we take a break from pushing ahead. We may now need to adjust our plans in light of new obligations or a reality check.

As the day advances, we head toward a Mercury-Mars alignment, as the planets will meet in the sign of Scorpio early in the day tomorrow. We can be mentally wired. We’re very interested in producing ideas and fixing problems.

The Mercury-Mars conjunction is a good influence for motivated, energetic work, particularly related to communication and the mind.

Since it occurs in Scorpio, power dynamics and sharing may be involved. Mercury-Mars excites and overstimulates our nerves. We want to get right to the point so that communications can be insensitive. There can be aggressive or excited thinking and communication, and we are more invested in our ideas and convictions than usual. Keeping busy and making headway satisfies us more than usual, and it’s best to channel excess mental energy constructively.

Tensions are possible, particularly when we become over-excited about an idea or resistant to letting others’ input in. There is an intensely competitive theme.

Note that these planets will meet again while retrograde and later, after Mercury turns direct. It’s best not to rush decisions now.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Libra today at 12:02 AM EDT.
