If you find yourself feeling starry-eyed over someone or something, you may be under the spell of today's idealistic Venus-Neptune opposition.

That's why no matter who or what comes your way, it's important to maintain realistic expectations, because the love story and/or financial narrative that you're writing in your head isn't likely to line up with reality.

A much better use of this energy would be to channel it into some type of an creative endeavor that will allow you to express your imagination in a productive way.

After a brief void (12:06 AM - 6:48 AM), the transiting Moon enters Leo and the energetic mood shifts from wallflower to superpower, making this an excellent day to express yourself personally and professionally.

In particular, this is a highly favorable day for financial dealings, social networking and all types of relationships as Venus, Uranus and Pluto form a grand trine that promotes cooperation, fosters communications and inspires ingenuity.

Wednesday, October 15

With today's high-spirited Leo Moon challenging Mercury and Mars, there is a strong possibility that sparks may fly before the sun sets.

Whether or not that comes to pass may depend largely upon your emotional self-restraint, especially in response to criticism, judgment or disapproval of something (or someone) near and dear to your heart.

Since you are likely to be thin-skinned today, it's best to avoid asking for personal feedback or sharing ideas that will invite unsolicited opinions.

Thursday, October 16

The transiting Leo Moon will be void from 1:07 AM until early afternoon, so if there is anything on your to-do list that requires a definite outcome, it's best to delay taking action on it until after it enters Virgo (2:07 PM) and use the void period to address routine matters.

That said, it's important to know that as soon as the transiting Moon enters Virgo, its orderly nature is challenged by Uranus in Gemini, which suggests an unexpected issue may rear its head that interrupts your work flow or perhaps even derails your schedule.

Should that be the case, if you keep your cool and regroup, your day won't spin out of control.

If you weren't able to accomplish much yesterday, the good news is that as long as you avoid over committing yourself today, the ambitious energy of the transiting Sun-Jupiter square, together with the diligent influence of the transiting Virgo Moon, will help you achieve your goals before the weekend.

In particular, the Sun-Jupiter square is also known for inspiring self-confidence and optimism. On this note, as long as you don't get carried away by an inflated sense of self-importance, this influence can help you win favor with people who can be instrumental to your future success.

Saturday, October 18

The strong work ethic of the transiting Virgo Moon suggests that no matter how much you accomplished yesterday, you may decide to devote some time to work even if it is your day off.

That said, this influence is an excellent one for activities that require organization and/or attention to details, such as crafting, cleaning, sewing, mechanics, and word games, as well as for teaching your dog new tricks or commands.

When the transiting Moon goes void at 5:12 PM, it's time to set aside actions or decisions that require a definite outcome and turn your attention to routine tasks, self-care and spiritual practices.

Sunday, October 19

At 12:03 AM, the dutiful Maiden's influence melts away as the transiting Moon enters Libra and sets the tone for a peaceful day.

Since the partner-focused influence of the transiting Libra Moon is a favorable one for all types of unions because it promotes connection, cooperation and companionship, this can be a splendid day for enjoying quality time with your favorite person.

While all relationships will benefit from today's harmonizing energy, the transiting Libra Moon's conjunction to Venus during the mid-afternoon hours is an especially fortunate influence for romantic ones.
