Wednesday, OCTOBER 7

Mercury opposes Uranus today, producing mental tension, miscommunication, or changes of mind or plans, and resistance to ideas. These, however, can lead to new insights if we’re open to them. We can be confrontational or controversial. It may not be the best time to present an argument or an important idea, but friction stimulated can challenge us to learn more about our own minds and opinions. Epiphanies and unusual insights can occur now, or surprising news might arrive that turns our perception of a situation on its head.

The Moon spends the day in Mercury’s sign, Gemini, encouraging our attention to our immediate environment, contacts, studies, and personal interests. We can be busy today, and at times, we can feel scattered.

The void Moon occurs from 9:56 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mars), until the Moon enters Cancer tomorrow, Thursday, October 8th, at 11:45 AM EDT.
