Toil and Trouble

Venus in Scorpio (Lasts through 10/31)

Venus in Libra (a sign that is ruled by Venus) brought us fortune and delight. The transition to Scorpio, ruled by Mars, is more abrupt and brings a bit of a darker energy. Things that are taboo or indulgent are more appealing to us, and our darker sides might show a little bit more than usual. Venus slows down and goes retrograde in this sign, as well, so buckle up and enjoy the trip through the Venusian underworld.

Neptune Opposite Moon (9 AM)

It’s easy for us with the Virgo Moon to become nagging and critical, but with Neptune’s opposition from Pisces, we might be accidentally criticizing people for things they didn’t do. Check yo’self before you jump on someone!

New Moon in Virgo (1 PM, sets the tone through 10/9)

A new lunar cycle begins today, helping you set new goals in the sign of Virgo. The Moon and Sun aligning in Virgo has the energy of efficiency, functionality, and fortune. It’s a good month for projects, or securing resources; when you look back a month from now you might be shocked at the progress you’ve made.

Moon Sextile Jupiter (3 PM)

As Jupiter continues uncovering secrets and searching for truth in Scorpio, it gets a little help from the Moon today in the form of a sextile aspect. You are functioning at your peak of digging up information, and this really accelerates your ability to find out the information you’re looking for.

Moon Trine Pluto (4 PM)

This afternoon you also find ways to help out your longer-term projects as the Moon forms a trine with Pluto. You find leadership, inspiration, and just the right tools to keep up the momentum on these projects or goals.
