Monday, OCTOBER 6

Mercury leaves Libra and enters Scorpio today, where it will transit until the 29th. Later, Mercury will return to Scorpio (from November 18-December 11) due to Mercury’s upcoming retrograde cycle (from November 9-29) that begins in Sagittarius and ends in Scorpio.

While Mercury is in Scorpio in the weeks ahead, we seek truths in all things hidden or undercover. It’s a time to probe, investigate, observe, and focus. Looking for motivations––the more deeply buried, the better––satisfies an intellectual need. We discard superficial methods of communication in favor of meaningful conversations.

The sign of Scorpio is exceptionally sharp, profound, and analytical. Thinking tends to be one-track-minded and perhaps obsessive during this cycle.

Today’s Mercury-Neptune quincunx, however, can challenge our confidence in decision-making. We might waver with uncertainty, or we’re inclined to daydream at the expense of productivity and clear communication. There can be some mental disorganization to manage now.

Tonight, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Aries, and epiphanies can happen as our feelings come to full bloom.

This Full Moon reminds us to consider how we are honoring ourselves in the context of our close relationships. New revelations are likely, particularly about our leadership skills, feelings of independence, ability to initiate and begin new things, and close partnerships.

With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic illumination occurs in our lives. But because these new feelings and revelations are emotional, we might want to exercise some care in expressing or acting on them.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Aries today at 12:48 AM EDT.
