Monday, September 28 • Sun in Libra Trine Uranus in Gemini
Despite the morning’s high-octane energy, the Aries Moon is void until 10:41 AM, so it’s best to hold off on anything that requires a definite outcome. Once the Moon enters Taurus, the pace becomes calmer, leaving room to enjoy the opportunities that the Sun-Uranus trine could bring your way.
Whenever the Sun and Uranus are in harmony, there’s often a desire to break from routine, try something different and enjoy new experiences. Since this trine is occurring in Libra and Gemini, two signs that thrive on social interactions and the exchange of ideas, you may find yourself more interested than usual in connecting with other people.
Tuesday, September 29
If you have a lot on your plate and need to make work your top priority, the Taurus Moon is a grounding influence that can help you focus, stick with what you’re doing and get things done.
On a different note, there’s a sensual side to this lunar influence that could inspire you to enjoy good food, go shopping or indulge in anything else that appeals to your senses.
At 7:37 PM, the Moon goes void for the rest of the night, making it a good time to relax, kickback and catch up on your favorite shows.
Wednesday, September 30 • Mercury enters Scorpio
With a void Moon until 1:27 PM, it’s best to focus on routine matters rather than tasks or assignments that need a definite outcome. However, once the Moon enters Gemini, it’s full speed ahead, and if you’ve been waiting to get started on something, you can make up for lost time.
In other planetary news, Mercury enters Scorpio today, where it will remain until December 6 due to a retrograde cycle that runs from October 24 through November 13.
While Mercury is in Scorpio, it's an excellent time for research, investigation and tackling anything that require you to look beneath the surface. During this time, you may find yourself scrutinizing words, dissecting actions and digging for information about whatever happens to pique your interest.
You may also find that you become more guarded about what you’re thinking, as well as more selective about what you share and with whom.
Thursday, October 1 • Moon is Void Most of the Day
At 10:43 AM, the Moon goes void for the rest of the day. The best use of its energy is to focus on anything that does not require a definite outcome.
Since Gemini is the natural ruler of the 3rd house, you can expect to make better-than-usual strides with routine paperwork, correspondence, emails, phone calls and errands. It’s also a good time to catch up on reading.
Under this stimulating Gemini Moon, new ideas can capture your interest and your attention may be pulled in several directions. It may also be harder to stay focused on one thing for very long.
If the day allows for it, a leisurely car ride with no particular destination in mind could also be an enjoyable way to spend part of this void Moon day.
Friday, October 2 • Mercury square Mars and Pluto • Mars trine Neptune
The day begins with a void Moon that lasts until it enters Cancer at 3:55 PM Eastern. While the Moon is void, its “nothing comes of the matter” nature may help take some of the steam out of the day’s more volatile aspects. Once the Moon enters Cancer, however, emotions can run higher and people may be more sensitive than usual.
With Mercury at odds with both Mars and Pluto, it won’t take much for a disagreement to turn into an argument. Under this volatile influence, tempers may be short, people may jump to conclusions and attempts to force ideas or opinions on others could quickly cause tensions to escalate.
You may also encounter interruptions that make it difficult to concentrate or find yourself obsessing over a problem or situation. If so, rather than allowing it to consume your attention, put that mental intensity to good use by doing research, solving a problem or tackling something that requires your complete concentration.
Fortunately, the softer influence of the Mars-Neptune trine can help offset some of the day’s more combative energy. This aspect can heighten sensitivity toward others and lessen the need to push your own agenda. It’s also a positive influence for relaxing, meditating, creative activities, healing and spiritual practices.
Saturday, October 3 • Mars opposite Pluto • Venus stations retrograde
At 5:11 AM, transiting Venus stations retrograde at 8° Scorpio. See my Venus Retrograde forecast below for details about this cycle and what it means for you.
At 11:09 AM, the Moon goes void for the rest of the day. Like yesterday, while the void Moon doesn’t support new beginnings or activities that require a definite outcome, its “nothing comes of the matter” nature may actually work in your favor.
With Mars opposite Pluto, power struggles and confrontations can get ugly, and people may be more inclined to fight dirty. If you find yourself embroiled in a conflict where threats are made or an ultimatum is issued, thanks to the void Moon there's a good chance nothing will come from them.
Sunday, October 4 • Sun opposite Saturn • Moon is Void Most of the Day
This is another day that doesn’t support new beginnings or activities that require a definite outcome and is best used for taking care of routine matters or catching up on busywork.
With the Sun opposite Saturn, how you want things to be versus how they are may be two very different things. If you find yourself on the receiving end of a reality check, this influence could find you being overly hard on yourself, and the sensitive Cancer Moon could magnify those feelings.
However, given that the Moon is void most of the day, your worse fears aren't likely to come to pass.
At 6:55 PM, the Moon moves into Leo, paving the way for a more enjoyable evening.
