Thursday, OCTOBER 21

The Moon spends the day in Taurus, and we tend to crave stability, favoring steadiness over innovation. However, Mars and Pluto are heading to a square, exact very early tomorrow and strongly influencing today. With this transit in play, we crave a sense of control over events, relationships, and/or circumstances and become frustrated at any sign that we don’t have it.

However, attempts to gain control or power tend to be fruitless. This square can stir intense desires that may not easily be satisfied. There may be arguments, standstills, and power games. It would be wise to observe and learn from whatever powerful feelings arise from confrontations or conflicts. We should try to remain flexible, perhaps devising strategies for achieving our goals rather than attempting to push them through at all costs.
