For the first day of a workweek in October, this is not an ideal situation. There is an illusion that all is well, and this is coming from a superlative, flowing trine in air signs from the Moon in Gemini to the Sun in Libra (6:38AM PDT). Any lunar-solar combination like this is favorable in a general sort of way, but it is what precedes it and follows it which is alarming. At 4:09AM PDT, the red planet Mars makes a caustic, 135-degree link to revolutionary Uranus. The most explosive planetary pair in astrology is Mars-Uranus. Whenever they enter into a challenging geometrical configuration, sparks can definitely fly. Strive to create serenity throughout your aura for several hours before and after this sky pattern is exact. Meanwhile, Mercury makes its annual opposition to Jupiter (11:56AM PDT) – linking Scorpio to Taurus. In traditional astrology, Mercury and Jupiter rule the four mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. As such, these two planets have a lot to do with the realms of communication and transportation. When Mercury opposes Jupiter, there can be breakdowns, snafus, and upheavals in these areas of activity within humanity. Of course, any opposition can still rise to the occasion as a source of mental expansion and enlightenment, but in the modern world and in terms of millions of people going to jobs and traveling on busy highways, any Mercury-Jupiter polarity needs to be monitored with care. A void lunar cycle develops at 3:19PM PDT and continues until 6:39PM PDT when the Moon enters Cancer – the sign of its natural abode. After 6:39PM PDT, home and family matters tend to trump everything else.
