Astrology of Today – September 24, 2015

Summary:
Two weeks ago, Mercury formed a square with Pluto, and retrograde Mercury forms this aspect again today. This one can feel a little more intense with Pluto moving towards a direct station. Its final pass will occur on October 22nd. Worries and concerns can emerge or re-emerge about an ongoing Pluto-related issue. Difficult Pluto aspects tend to remind us that attempting to control others or situations can be disruptive or futile. We can only control ourselves. We can be a little obsessive and perhaps a little paranoid under this influence, thinking up negative scenarios. Use this energy for fixing problem or weak areas.
