Sunday, OCTOBER 2

Mercury stations and turns direct today after retrograde motion since September 9th. We’ve been in a good position to reevaluate our routines and habits, and we’ve given more thought to the meaning of our work or services. Now, Mercury retraces its steps, completing its transit of Virgo on the 10th when it enters Libra once again. Information unclogs.

Over the coming weeks, recent problems with communications and decision-making should improve. The answers we’ve been waiting for can arrive. And, plans or projects that have stalled might now resume. We can be flooded with energies that are hard to make sense of during the shift today, however, and it’s a better day to take in than to take action. It’s also a good idea not to rush conversations or share observations.

Venus forms a minor square with Saturn this morning, and there can be some anxiety or troubles with matters concerned with feelings and affections until we get in touch with our actual needs and wants.

The Moon heads into Capricorn early today, and the First Quarter Moon is exact tonight when the Capricorn Moon forms a square to the Sun in Libra. There is a crisis theme surrounding 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, causing some pressure or anxiety. It’s a time of stress, but it’s the kind of tension that motivates us to make changes.

The void Moon continues until the Moon enters Capricorn at 3:39 AM EDT.
