Friday, OCTOBER 2

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Aries, forming squares to Jupiter and Pluto, and aligning with retrograde Mars tonight. We’re motivated but easy to distract. Feelings are intense today as we wrestle with the desire to attend to personal goals and our more worldly ambitions.

The Sun forms a quincunx to Uranus this morning, and we could be dealing with minor changes of plans or a restless urge for change that interferes with the flow.

Also today, Venus begins its transit of Virgo, which will last until the 27th. Virgo is sensual but also quite practical. We might enjoy our work or wellness routines more than usual, and the satisfaction of a job well done cannot be underestimated during this cycle. Pleasures and pastimes that serve a practical purpose are more attractive. We express our love through practical means and gestures–running errands, doing detail work, or just being there for our loved ones. We should watch for a tendency to worry or fret.
