If there is a choice between placing an emphasis on business or pleasure today, keep your main focus on the former. Capricorn Moon is a good time of the month to keep rising to the top of your professional hierarchy. Primary partnerships and emotionally-sensitive relationships are more dicey during this 24-hour time-span as Juno makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link with giant Jupiter (9:13AM), Venus forms an abrasive, 45-degree tie with Chiron (9:21AM) while Vesta eventually opposes Uranus (11:27PM). You can still be a creative whirlwind — especially in the fine and graphic arts — since the Moon makes its monthly rendezvous with Venus (1:47PM). Add entries to your social calendar, and know that you can command the respect of your colleagues and competitors. An evening challenge concerns the Moon forming a trine to Mars in earth signs (9:33PM) that somehow misses a beat in the sense that it starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 10:54PM. It’s at this latter time that the Moon enters the universal air sign of Aquarius. Immerse yourself in a literary classic overnight or tune into the historical roots of esoteric philosophy, metaphysics, astrology and kindred subjects.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 3rd
If you are feeling happy-go-lucky in any sort of way, then play that up to the max. The reason is that a double emphasis of Sagittarius — Sun and Moon together in this potentially ebullient and achievement-oriented, 9th sign of the zodiac — only occurs for approximately two days in any calendar year. Plus, this morning’s supportive, 60-degree rapport from Mercury to Mars (8:36AM) is a clear energizer for literary, educational and athletic hobbies. Improve your tennis backhand, golf swing or volleyball serve. Consider signing up for classes, conferences or workshops that pique your interest. Later on, the Moon forms a square aspect to the red planet Mars in Virgo (7:46PM). This feisty interaction — always occurring twice a month in either a waxing or waning phase — has the capacity to increase the tensions within the psychic atmosphere. In addition, today’s 90-degree Moon-Mars encounter begins another void-of-course lunar experience that lasts for 3 hours until 10:50PM. Keep a low profile while the Moon is in its meandering condition and then focus your attention on career aims and professional work when the Moon enters Capricorn — the earthy, tenth sign of the zodiac at 10:50PM.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Nov. 29th
Despite a fairly favorable 72-hour time-span — offering humanity a lot of opportunities for forward progress during Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday just past — the last 48 hours of this month seem more stormy than calm. The Moon in Libra square to Venus in Capricorn (3:15AM) equates with a rise in emotional turmoil, and this 90-degree face-off is given extra intensity as it starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 8:04PM. During this 16+ hour lunar limbo time-span, moody behavior may be more rampant than usual as Juno in Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio (5:25AM) while Mars forms a contra-parallel with Chiron (7:34AM). The Juno-Saturn clash is hard to sugar coat as it suggests a rise in temporary rude behavior — possibly affecting lovers as well as business associates and partners. The Mars-Chiron interaction is another forceful challenge that can heighten dis-empowerment — especially emotionally and mentally — in key relationships across the board. One saving grace — happening several hours later — is an inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Mars (1:26PM). However, this lone, favorable aspect doesn’t have the gravitas to counteract the three discordant aspects already spreading discontent like a virus. A type of panacea arrives tonight when the Moon ceases to be void as it enters intense Scorpio (8:04PM) for the next 2+ days. Watch your dreams overnight for clues about the future as the Moon trines Neptune in water signs at 12:40AM tomorrow. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, Nov. 27th
Before cosmic fireworks detonate at the monthly Moon-Mars union in Virgo (3:45AM), you may be savvy enough to solve some key problems as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree link to Pallas (3:00AM). Meanwhile, the Moon uniting with the red planet every month is no walk in the park and, in this situation, the alignment at 3:45AM also begins a 10+ hour void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 2:01PM when the Moon enters Libra. Avoid unnecessary entanglements with temperamental individuals during the void-of-course Moon cycle. It is much better to stay out of the spotlight and perform good deeds without calling attention to yourself. Once the Moon enters Libra (2:01PM), the next 2+ days provide an opportunity to improve the quality of key relationships while you plunge into favorite arts, crafts and hobbies. Helping you be a creative mover and shaker in society is a supportive, 60-degree link between Mercury and Venus (6:46PM) followed by a mind-expanding trine of 120-degrees connecting Mercury and Jupiter (11:24PM). You may feel like soaring into the stratosphere of worldly success, but watch out for hubris and a sudden drop in productivity as Ceres squares Pluto (11:51PM). Fortunately, this Ceres-Pluto clash may have little sustaining power as only 10 minutes later, the Moon makes its monthly union with Vesta in Libra (12:01AM on Thursday). This Moon-Vesta affiliation is a boost for sisterhood ties as well as providing the potential for making gains via wise investment planning.

Daily Cosmic Calenda for Novemer 22nd
The cosmic good news is that the Sun is just beginning its 30-day march through adventurous, enthusiastic and goal-oriented Sagittarius. The challenging news is that the lunar orb — while prominent in its natural abode of Cancer — is carrying the extra weight of being in void mode, pointing you more toward understanding past karma than in initiating bold, new actions. Research and in-depth studies are recommended as the Sun forms a parallel to Pluto (6:48AM). Consider a parallel — where both celestial bodies are the same number of degrees north or south of the Celestial Equator — to be similar to a conjunction in the zodiac. Do your best to stay serene around the time-period this Sun-Pluto connection is influential as it does have a shadow component where extreme actions can boomerang with nasty results. Once the Moon leaves void mode in Cancer by entering Leo (3:58PM), let your inner-child roam free for a change of pace. Be a creative whirlwind as the Moon forms a harmonious trine with the Sun in fire signs (5:50PM). Games of strategy are in play tonight when Pallas forms a 45-degree tie with fun-loving Jupiter (8:45PM). You can tweak this somewhat frictional aspect away from mental fatigue and toward enjoyment as a problem-solver and high-achiever. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, November 21st
With a major portion of today occurring with the Sun in the last degree of Scorpio, it is a good time to reflect on your gains and losses of the past four weeks. Have you excelled at exploring the depths of your consciousness in order to eliminate old fears and doubts that may be blocking the flow of your creative artistry? Are you more adept at tuning into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration to be an entrepreneur with clout and finesse? Steer clear of questionable investment offers as Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with often hazy Neptune (7:43AM). The Moon in Cancer continues a primary focus on healing old family wounds and pains. A big change happens at 7:49PM when the Sun leaves watery Scorpio for fiery Sagittarius. Don’t be too surprised if you feel a sense of relief that some of the recent tensions may be in the process of dissolving away. A happy-go-lucky disposition is the right frame of mind to have during the monthly lunar conjunction with providential Jupiter (8:00PM). Avoid overdoing a good thing a couple of hours later when the Sun makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (10:17PM). Keep a low profile overnight and avoid the social scene as the Moon begins a void uncertainty zone at 11:12PM that lasts until 3:58PM tomorrow. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, Nov. 20th
Yesterday’s Chiron station is still having repercussions through the psychic atmosphere because it is still virtually motionless while no longer retrograde. Meanwhile, interest continues to grow in a wide variety of healing techniques as Mercury trines Chiron (2:17AM). This positive alignment occurs while the Moon is compromised by being void in Gemini until 3:24AM. Once the lunar orb enters Cancer (3:24AM), turn your attention to dealing with important home and family concerns. Spruce up your kitchen and bath areas. Cooking and baking are back in style. Learn more about your family tree and take a stroll down memory lane by looking through old photo albums and school yearbooks. Investment planning receives a notable boost as Vesta forms an inspirational, 72-degree link with usually benevolent Jupiter (9:37AM). Your psychic sensitivity can grow by leaps and bounds as Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree tie with Pluto (6:10PM) while the Moon in Cancer orchestrates the building of a Grand Triangle in water signs by forming flowing trines with Chiron in Pisces (9:44PM) and Mercury in Scorpio (11:56PM). Any Grand Triangle has the capacity to open up the sixth sense in human beings — allowing the hidden dimensions of divinity to become temporarily visible for those whose consciousness is resonating to life in the spirit realms.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, November 15th
Stay out of trouble in the early hours with the Moon void in Aries and Venus in a somewhat unstable position after squaring Uranus yesterday and about to unite with Pluto today. If you remember how this month began — with a deluge of alignments on November 1, including the heavy-duty clash between Uranus and Pluto — now Venus is attempting to play the role of inter-planetary peacemaker between these two outer-planet adversaries. However, this is easier said than done. First, the asteroid Vesta — having much to do with insurance rates and coverage, investments, home and hearth, safety and security themes as well as sisterhoods — enters Libra (5:46AM) for an extended stay until July 30, 2014. In addition, the Moon leaves yesterday’s void status in Aries and will provide some semblance of comfort as it glides into Taurus (6:50AM) — the first earth sign of the zodiac, ruled by Venus. This places an emphasis on handling monetary resources with care and deliberation. Later on, you need to be all eyes and ears as Venus makes its annual union with Pluto (1:34PM and activating 10 degrees of Capricorn). The hope is that Venus blends its friendly, loving vibrations with the mysterious, underworld powers of Pluto — allowing some kind of positive, emotional catharsis to occur, igniting the source of creative-artistic inspirations. From a shadow perspective, it is also possible that Pluto attempts to pull in the innocent Venusian vibrations, somewhat like a black hole in the universe is said to usually absorb and assimilate everything in its path, including light. Do your best to be an agent on behalf of goodwill and tender loving care. You can still be tested again this evening when the Sun forms a dicey, 135-degree tie with radical-change producer Uranus (9:02PM). Expecting the unexpected may be one way to avoid an increase in nervous tension. Keep in mind that with the potent Full Moon of Scorpio-Taurus arriving in two days, today and tomorrow constitutes a 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightening energies about to descend to humanity when the Sun and Moon reach their monthly crescendo on Sunday morning. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 12th
You may want to emulate the early bird catching the worm this morning since a fairly long void lunar cycle is about to interfere with main activities of the afternoon and evening. There is a burst of excitement and mental-emotional stimulation coming from a flowing trine of 120-degrees from the Moon in Pisces to the Sun in Scorpio (6:25AM) followed quickly by the Moon making a similar trine to Jupiter in Cancer (6:35AM). Like the Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune Grand Triangle that was very active yesterday — due to the stations of these three celestial bodies — now it is the Moon that is hooking up with the Sun and Jupiter creating a Grand Triangle that can offer sensitive individuals precognitive dreams and visions of future, worldly opportunities. However, the Moon-Jupiter harmonious trine at 6:35AM also starts a 17+ hour void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 11:40PM (when the Moon enters fiery, pioneering Aries). It is much better to complete old business on a high note during any void lunar cycle than to try initiating bold, new ventures. What is intriguing is that just two hours after the void-of-course Moon takes effect, the Sun and Jupiter form a trine in water signs (8:40AM). This is one of the best sky patterns that can occur (as it provides a great boost for optimistic thinking and expanding your horizons across the board) and yet it always happens — due to the structure of the solar system — when Jupiter is retrograde. In this case, the Sun-Jupiter favorable aspect is also occurring during a void Moon. You may still be able to utilize some of the Sun-Jupiter euphoric vibrations when the Moon enters Aries (11:40PM). Nevertheless, by that time and as Wednesday November 13 begins to materialize, Neptune will be getting ready for its spotlight on center stage when it makes a station at 3 degrees of Pisces (10:43AM tomorrow). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, November 10th
The cosmos is certainly on the wacky end of the astro-psychic spectrum during this unusual weekend. Trying to make your agenda the law of the land is likely to fall on deaf ears. Pursuing unrealistic objectives when the Moon is void — following a 90-degree clash of the Sun and Moon at their First Quarter Phase last night — is also a non-starter and likely to boomerang were it ever to get going in the first place. On the other hand, enjoying a time-period for reflection and having a leisurely breakfast while putting old worries out of your mind can make a lot of good sense. No matter whether you are feeling elated or confused, watch the clock around 1:15PM when Mercury leaves retrograde status at 3 degrees of Scorpio, and begins a gradual shift into forward motion. [Mercury won’t go into reverse again until February 6, 2014 when the Messenger of the Gods planet will go retrograde at 4 degrees of Pisces in a three-week reversal that lasts until February 28, 2014 when Mercury will stop to go forward at 19 degrees of Aquarius.] All of today’s Mercury themes — communications and correspondence, learning programs and information exchange, classes and primary school education, business and trade, health and medicine, transportation, hand-eye coordination, flexibility and adaptability, breathing and respiratory conditions, temperature and air-wind changes, magic tricks, sleights of hand and thefts — are energized not only at the exact time of the station at 1:15PM, but all day long. Once the Moon leaves void status in Aquarius by entering Pisces (6:37PM), be more compassionate and empathic to the truly needy and disenfranchised. Try your hand at fixing one of grandma’s old-world recipes for clam or corn chowder and muffins. Reading, writing and watching favorite film classics are promoted later on when the Moon trines Mercury in water signs (10:59PM) and the lunar orb makes its monthly union with Neptune (11:06PM). Keep a notebook of profound dreams, visions and out-of-the-body excursions with Neptune — the ancient God of the Seas and ruler of psychic-imaginative abilities — running the show as Sunday night morphs into Monday morning.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 9th
Be prepared for a weekend of ups, downs, and a wild ride in general. Mars decides that working harmoniously with Saturn — via a supportive, 60-degree link to Saturn (3:58AM) — is better than being angry and contentious. This Mars-Saturn rapport can help you be more hands-on and pragmatic with key business matters. A wave of productivity follows — due to Ceres making an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Jupiter (4:32AM). However, this positive Ceres-Jupiter aspect is somewhat neutralized by an off-kilter, 150-degree tie from Ceres to Neptune (9:13AM) — a contact that can temporarily increase nebulous thinking and behavior patterns. Fortunately, just 24 minutes later at 9:37AM, the Moon in Aquarius makes its monthly union with Juno — offering emotional empowerment in your primary partnerships. Plus, this Moon-Juno link-up favors your exploring the latest styles influencing the fashion realm. Despite some of today’s haziness, antique hunters and collectible aficionados can delight in searching for overlooked treasures at estate sales and art fairs as Mercury approaches a flowing trine to Neptune (forming exactly at 1:36PM). This Mercury-Neptune rapport can boost your psychic abilities and creative imagination. Pallas entering Virgo (4:18PM) places a renewed focus on problem-solving via fine-tuned analysis, meticulous study and extensive research. The arrival of the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (9:58PM and activating 18 degrees of Scorpio and Aquarius) is a signal to cut through apparent obstacles blocking your path. Strive to manage your business affairs with greater finesse. Adding an extra note of uncertainty to the late-evening environment is that this First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase also begins a 20+ hour void-of-course lunar cycle that lasts until 6:37PM tomorrow. Mercury is about to turn direct tomorrow and will do so at 1:15PM on Sunday during the void lunar twilight zone. Why the universe puts humanity into these strange circumstances beyond anyone’s personal control remains unknown. Hang in there overnight and keep hope alive.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 30th
An assortment of opportunities is available during a good portion of the day as the Moon in Virgo makes a supportive, 60-degree tie with Jupiter in Cancer (11:40AM) while the Sun forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Pallas (12:56PM) and the Moon unites with soul-sister Vesta (4:47PM). The Moon-Jupiter connection is a clear boost for the power of positive thinking. The Sun-Pallas alignment promotes problem-solving and strategy sessions. The Moon conjunct Vesta energizes investment planning, fellowship gatherings, and sisterhood reunions. Stay calm and steady regarding family matters and parental figures due to a 45-degree link between Ceres and Saturn (4:34PM). The later hours may prove emotionally unsettling as the Moon squares Venus (7:49PM) — beginning a void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 5:23AM tomorrow. Being too pushy or cantankerous in primary partnerships is foolish as Mars in Virgo opposes Chiron in Pisces (11:09PM). It is much better to learn more about techniques that heal body and soul than to transform dear ones into adversaries. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 29th
It’s hard to conduct business as usual and be meticulous at the same time during this particular transit of industrious Virgo Moon. While a supportive, 60-degree tie from the Moon to the Sun (9:07AM) offers a brief respite of encouragement, challenging sky patterns are more the rule than the exception. You may feel as though you are walking a tightrope over dangerous depths as the Moon forms its monthly union with Mars (1:06PM) while retrograding Mercury in Scorpio forms another union with taskmaster Saturn (1:49PM). Mercury merged with Saturn on October 8 — while both planets were in forward motion — and they will join forces again on November 25. While the Moon with Mars can lead people to be too rash and reckless, the Mercury-Saturn encounter is likely to equate with a rising tide of worry, doubt or frustration. The Moon tries to cancel out blocks to your forward progress as it forms supportive, 60-degree ties with Mercury (9:36PM) and Saturn (10:25PM), but an overall slow-down is still warranted since Mercury forms a frictional, 45-degree tie with Ceres (6:59PM) followed by a parallel between the Sun and Saturn (9:46PM). A renewed focus on issues connected to health, diet and nutrition is one of the best ways to utilize the favorable energy-field of Virgo Moon.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 27th
Breakthroughs in higher consciousness abound in the early hours as the Moon in Leo forms a harmonious trine with Uranus in Aries (4:30AM). If you feel a little edgy or nervous, chalk it up to a rare contra-parallel linking Chiron and Uranus (6:08AM). Trying to make things happen your way or attempting to manipulate a dear one is out-of-bounds. On the other hand, healing forces are back on the march. Learn more about the merits of alternative forms of medicine, therapy and counseling techniques. It’s advisable to slow your pace later on as the Moon squares off with Saturn (11:26AM) and Mercury (3:57PM). Psychic tensions maintain the upper hand later tonight as the Moon parallels the red planet Mars (11:31PM) while a 90-degree tie between Venus and Vesta is building toward exactitude at 1:15AM tomorrow. Put an emphasis on safety and security matters as Friday night morphs into Saturday morning. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 25th
The good cosmic news that arrived on terra firma yesterday still carries a positive wallop today. The Grand Triangle in water signs that aided your emotional and psychic sensitivity on Thursday remains strong this morning due to the Moon in Cancer forming a flowing trine of 120-degrees to Mercury in Scorpio (7:18AM). Enjoy literary and educational adventures to the hilt — particularly as the monthly Moon-Jupiter union in Cancer (1:32PM) acts as a sturdy backup to the harmonious tie between the Moon and Mercury. Tune into your confident and optimistic mind-set to gain a decisive edge over erstwhile competitors in business or professional affairs. However, the Moon-Jupiter conjunction (1:32PM) begins a 19+ hour void-of-course lunar limbo time-span that lasts until 9:13AM tomorrow. Even though the Moon’s energy is hampered somewhat, your creative imagination is activated as one of two, annual Sun-Neptune trines clocks in at 3:42PM. Improvise in a favorite artistic medium for a change of pace. Show off your burgeoning skills on the photography, film or music fronts. Learn more about the merits of affirmations, visualization exercises, yoga, sacred dance and meditation. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 24th
Even though the Mercury reversal is still indicating that this key planet is moving in counterpoint to the direction of the Sun and Moon, today reveals a dissipation of the recent psychic cloud-cover that has been inflicting slings and arrows of outrageous fortune within humanity. Vesta making a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Jupiter (12:59AM) is a strong, motivational signal that with hard work and renewed effort you can increase the value of your assets and investments. Let your feelings and emotions back up your financial acumen as the Moon, Neptune, Chiron and Saturn form a revelatory Grand Triangle in the zodiac. The Moon in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces (2:02AM) and Chiron in Pisces (3:38PM) while also forming a trine to Saturn in Scorpio (10:23PM). Resume your physical fitness routines with exuberance — thanks to an inspirational, 72-degree tie between Mercury and Mars (1:55PM). This Mercury-Mars alignment doubles as a boost for favorite hobbies, construction projects and athletic contests. Experiment with some of grandma’s old-world recipes that thrill the palate. Learn more about your ancestral heritage and family tree as the Moon in Cancer heightens love for past traditions and historical eras.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 23
The Sun’s entry into the fixed, power sign of Scorpio late yesterday — happening during a void lunar twilight zone and while Mars and Neptune wreak havoc within the human family — does not augur well for a trouble-free 30-day solar movement through the intense and passionate eighth sign of the zodiac. Instead, the universe is advising everyone to be more careful and conservative across the board — particularly today as Mars forms a contra-parallel to Neptune (3:37AM), continuing the large-scale uncertainty factor that has been hovering around humanity like a ghostly presence during the last five days. Since the Moon in communication-oriented Gemini remains void until 8:37PM, this lunar condition is a reminder to focus your attention on completing old projects while refraining from launching bold, new enterprises. Keep in mind that the Mars-Neptune clash in the heavens can also produce confusion in affairs of the heart, social activities as well as business or artistic ventures. Once the Moon enters Cancer (8:37PM), family and household concerns become a primary concern. Psychic storm warnings are still posted despite the presence of a flowing Moon-Sun trine (10:34PM) since Mars moves away from its rivalry with Neptune to make a caustic, 45-degree tie with Jupiter (10:09PM). Steer clear of temperamental individuals and controversial subject matters. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 22nd
Just after the potent Full Moon of October 18 — with the Sun and Moon on opposite sides of the Earth — Mars in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces also made their first polarity across the zodiac in about 2 years. Strong, challenging aspects between the red planet and the planet of dreams and visions can equate with a rising tide of confusion and chaos within humanity. It may have seemed as through the fracas between Mars and Neptune was a done deal a couple of days ago, but now the Sun intervenes by forming a parallel to Neptune (12:51AM) and a contra-parallel to Mars (10:58AM). Because the Sun is not just the largest celestial body in our solar system, but the only radiant, light-emitting celestial source, today’s Sun-Neptune and Sun-Mars encounters can re-energize the psychic tensions that pervaded global societies and cultures worldwide. Trying to force decisions, sign papers or deal with legal matters under the aegis of Sun-Mars-Neptune discord, along with the start of the recent Mercury retrograde cycle, is taboo. Adding more uncertainty to the mix is the monthly Moon-Venus opposition from Gemini to Sagittarius (5:36PM) — beginning a 27-hour void-of-course Moon cycle that lasts until 8:37PM tomorrow night. Plus, the Sun shifts from airy Libra to watery Scorpio (11:11PM) while — waiting in the wings — is a Mars-Neptune contra-parallel (3:37AM tomorrow) that is similar to a polarity in the zodiac. Under these illusory and provocative circumstances, it is wise to keep a low profile across the board. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 20th
Before you know it, Mercury will be doing back flips in Scorpio — starting tomorrow and going until November 10. While Mercury in reverse has some good attributes and can help you review and re-evaluate recent business ventures, health matters and key communications, it is also a cosmic signal to be more careful and cautious in these realms. Utilize today’s early hours to make progress with financial plans and professional goals — working confidently via an inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Pluto (3:58AM) and the Moon in Taurus forming a supportive, 60-degree link to providential Jupiter (2:03PM). However, this latter aspect starts a void lunar uncertainty cycle that lasts until 9:15AM tomorrow. Find time to enjoy an excursion in the great outdoors. Really absorb the psychic vibrations invisibly linking the birds, trees and sky. Cooking, baking, arts, crafts and hobbies — in moderation — are in style tonight while the Moon meanders in late Taurus and Mercury becomes virtually motionless. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 18th
Golden opportunities for success and achievement across the board are moving into place as the monthly Full Moon approaches (forming exactly at 4:39PM and activating 26 degrees of Libra and Aries). All the hours before this time provide a build-up of dynamic support for your most important tasks and plans. A subtle and yet still mentally-expansive, 30-degree liaison from Pallas to Jupiter (3:23PM) gives this month’s solar-lunar high-tide cycle some extra pizzazz. Individual and group meditations are always recommended during a Full Moon — in order to receive and transmit the lofty divine vibrations to humanity hungry for enlightenment. Once the Full Moon reaches its peak at 4:39PM, a void lunar twilight zone enters the scene and lasts until 12:28AM tomorrow. It is appropriate to keep sending out healing thoughts and prayers to friends, relatives and the kingdoms of nature. Strive to keep your productivity going strong in favorite arts, crafts or hobbies as the Sun makes a contra-parallel to Ceres (8:20PM) and the Moon parallels Mars (11:36PM). Get ready to put ideas into practice once the Moon shifts from fiery Aries into earthy Taurus at 12:28AM on Saturday. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.
