Wednesday, OCTOBER 30

Mercury aligns with Venus in the sign of Scorpio today, and we’re inclined to analyze our feelings and ask/answer questions. It’s an excellent time to talk about or quantify our feelings and reach agreements or negotiate with others, although because Mercury is about to station and turn retrograde, some of the plans or decisions we make now may change later. This transit points to lighthearted conversations, sociability, humor, and cooperation. It’s a good time for socializing and communicating with ease. Mentally, we’re not as disciplined as usual, as we prefer to chat with others and to think about pleasant things. We may be intellectualizing feelings. It’s a cooperative influence that stimulates our desire for harmony and balance so that we may not dig too deeply. While there is often superficiality or skimming the surface of things with this aspect, these planets are aligning in the profound sign of Scorpio, and Mercury is parallel Pluto, suggesting more depth than usual. The Moon spends the day in Sagittarius.
