Dear Stargazers,

This week Mercury stations retrograde at 11°37' Scorpio, where it will backpedal through the sign of the Scorpion until it goes direct on November 3 at 12:45 PM ET at 25'54 Libra.

Here in the USA, November 3 is election day and one doesn't need to be an astrologer or a psychic to know there's still plenty of turbulence ahead. 

Hopefully, the fact that Mercury is stationing direct in the USA's 10th house (which represents a nation's president or ruler) and trines the nation's moon (the public) in its third house (data, information and the post office) means that we'll know who won the Oval office sooner rather than later. 

Another reason why I feel we'll know sooner rather than later is because the November 30 lunar eclipse at 8° Gemini falls on Biden's 7th house Saturn. Since a lunar eclipse brings things to a conclusion, this one will either bring Biden's lifelong ambition to be President (Saturn) to a fruition or to an end.

To be clear, this isn't to say that the results won't be challenged by whichever side loses or that there won't be public outrage, because transiting Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto will oppose then nation's Mercury. 

Moreover, since the November 30 falls exactly on the nation's 6th house Uranus (3rd house ruler and planetary ruler of anarchy), we may very well experience nationwide rioting that will see states bring in the national guard (6th house) to restore order. On that note, I'll very happy to be wrong!

PLANETARY EVENTS

Oct. 13:  Mercury stations retrograde
Oct. 16:  New Moon


BEST DAYS

While there are other days during this time frame that are fine, these are the best of the bunch. What do I mean by the best? The energy is flowing, the moon isn't void and there's a greater likelihood for happy and/or productive outcomes.

Oct. 12 (for socializing and catch up work - not for anything that needs a definite outcome)
Oct. 14


BEST AVOIDED

The energies on these days aren't favorable for new ventures or any activity where you want or need a definite result. If you must schedule something, you may have to think on your feet, or there may be a need for patience or flexibility.

NEW MOON AT 23°53' LIBRA
September 17, 2020 | 3:32 PM EDT
Washington, DC

Like every Libra new moon, this one offers a new beginning in connection with relationships, harmony and balance, but the harsh aspects to Mars, Saturn and Pluto suggest that it won't come easily. In fact, they suggest that you'll have to take a stand and fight for it.

The new moon's opposition to Mars indicates strong egos and emotions are motivated by a desire to win, and with the new moon and Mars squaring Pluto and Saturn, in some instances there could be no holds barred in this clash of wills.

But what exactly is this clash of wills about? Since Libra is the sign that rules relationships, cooperation and justice, this new moon is likely signal a time when you decided to stand up for what's fair. It may be in connection to a relationship, a work situation, a family matter or something else but whatever it is, if push comes to shove, you'll rise to the occasion.

All that being said, Mercury will be retrograde at the time of this new moon which is a strong indicator that a fresh start could be delayed, and even if it's not, that the topic will be revisited at some point before Mercury goes direct.
