Wednesday, OCTOBER 4

It’s best to avoid impulsive decisions today with Mercury’s change of signs and a Mercury-Jupiter minor square just before it leaves Virgo. We might make more of an issue than it deserves, either negatively or positively! Exaggerated perceptions and communications or news can be themes. We expect the best but may be seeking better, not knowing where to draw the line.

We should also watch for stubbornly holding onto or defending something that no longer supports our growth with Mars conjunct the South Node. In the process, we might be overlooking genuine opportunities to improve. But if we can tap into our desire to make progress, the changes we make now can create fresh opportunities that add to our feelings of joy and freedom. It can be a time of dynamic, positive connections.

After a lengthy stay in Virgo, Mercury heads into the sign of Libra later today. With Mercury visiting Libra until the 22nd, we are diplomatic and friendly, bringing a more rational approach to one-to-one relationships. It’s a good time to think about ways to improve our negotiation skills.

Mercury in Libra can be vacillating energy as we attempt to see both sides of any situation. While we can certainly be indecisive, this is a fine period for considering others’ points of view.
