Daily Astrological Forecast, October 1–31, 2024
Moon in diligent Virgo combines with the dynamic numerology of 1 to make a good morning for work. Early afternoon favors spiritual healing, connections with spirit guides, and gathering materials for a New Moon vision board.
On the portal of tomorrow´s Solar Eclipse in Libra, morning is great for practical activities, getting a job done, decluttering, and self-care.
Get things done before 11:42 am (2:42 pm ET), when Moon opposes mystical Neptune, setting the tone for a cosmic afternoon. Now we can focus on something related to intuition and imagination—connect with angels, journal, interpret dreams, work on forgiveness or our preferred spiritual practice, or procure materials for a New Moon vision board. There may also be confusion after this opposition, so it’s best to leave business communications and using hallucinogenic substances alone for now.
Three hours later, Moon goes VOC on a trine to Pluto the powerful, another transit that favors spiritual healing.
At 3:20 pm (6:20 ET), Moon enters relational Libra. On the portal of tomorrow’s Solar Eclipse and with ruler Venus in trine to serious Saturn, we can connect with others in ways that are constructive, that is, for an effort involving justice, compromise, teamwork, negotiation, banking, a court appearance, a handfasting ceremony, committed (vs. casual) partnership. Think of long-term results and—with Saturn in Pisces—spiritual relationships.
Affirmation:
I surround myself with divine substance, and I am cloaked and shielded, now and always.
Wednesday, October 2
Today’s numerology of 2 relates to the Moon, giving added force to today´s Solar Eclipse New Moon in relational Libra. Conjunct communicative Mercury, this portal offers a reset for communications and relational patterns.
Last month´s minor grand trine involving Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto is reactivated by today’s lunation, giving cosmic assistance to move towards the freedom offered by Pluto in Aquarius.
Moon´s ruler Venus is in a Grand Water Trine with Saturn the builder and pushy Mars. The planet of love also makes a close semi-sextile to Moon and Mercury, while Moon, Sun and Mercury square Mars, generating tension and fueling Libra’s taste for a good fight.
This New Moon spotlights relationships, but not just hanging out or sweet romance. With the water Grand Trine, feelings can be overwhelming, yet Saturn in the mix means that we want to build something lasting.
The connections we spark may be for business, a partnership, a legal case, or a new relationship with the public. The Mars squares show that we may have to stick up or fight for something. So, we’ll want to avoid letting minor struggles drain our energy, and focus on the bigger challenges on the road to self-mastery and fulfilling our mission.
At 10-11 Libra, the Sabian symbol for this lunation describes:
A PROFESSOR PEERING OVER HIS GLASSES AT HIS STUDENTS… Problems attending the transmission of knowledge in a special cultural setup.…The professor has dealt so much with books that he has greatly strained his eyes; in days when bifocal lenses were not widely used, he had to peer over his glasses in order to see his students… in order to meet the demands of the turbulent youth, the teacher in a sense has to look above this knowledge and to see his students simply as human beings… the teaching of accumulated collective knowledge, and the problem posed by the acquisition of that knowledge. This is what INSTRUCTION means — a process not to be confused with ‘education.’
Eclipses are intense. If we have an impulse to do something dramatic, we may want to restrain it for the moment. That said, this is a great day to seed intentions for emotionally supportive, lasting tendencies in relationships, justice, negotiation and with the public. And we can put these intentions softly in motion.
Affirmation:
I give thanks for the divine movement that´s taking place in my relationships, here and now.
Thursday, October 3
Today’s numerology of 3 is ruled by Venus the beautifier, as is Moon in Libra. We’re still in the Eclipse window, and we can follow through on these intentions. Afternoon supports positive connections.
Today’s energies are easiest to use after 10:40 am (1:40 pm ET), when Moon trines Jupiter, fueling optimism, charisma and emotional connections.
Empathy flows; generous gestures bring abundance for all concerned. Collaborate on a team effort or act on behalf of justice. Strive for compromise, circulate an online petition, share knowledge freely.
Affirmation:
I am the light of love that fills my world.
Friday, October 4
Moon enters dramatic Scorpio, emboldening us to act a trine from Venus, planet of values, to constructive Saturn. Our focused initiatives contribute to something of lasting worth.
Moon goes VOC at 3:40 am (6:40 ET), entering Scorpio at 4:22 am (7:22 ET).
Mercury the messenger is in tension to strict Saturn, so communications may seem jolted or somehow slow. We can participate creatively by pausing to review our words and intentions, and align them with our hearts.
Moon in Scorpio is great for research. This placement gives us the strength we need to set limits with ourselves and others and to make key decisions.
We´re still on the Eclipse portal, so we don´t yet want to do anything rash, but this Moon sign combines with the Venus-Saturn trine to support concrete steps in business, finance, our personal lives or relationship to the public.
Affirmation:
Claiming my freedom from limitation, move forward, here and now.
Saturday, October 5
This is an intense day, with Moon in bold Scorpio activating the Eclipse Grand Water Trine, and today’s adventuresome numerology of 5 moving us to try something new.
With Scorpio Moon triggering beautiful Venus, executive Saturn, and restless Mars, we can get concrete results in a project involving art, creativity, business, people-connections, justice, and negotiation.
Though we may feel kind of jumpy, we can make headway. Save extreme sports and adventures for another day and direct your impetus by acting on something of lasting value.
People connections are benefited by Moon´s contacts to Venus and Saturn, that is, before 3:27 pm (6:27 ET), when Moon trines pokey Mars. This can fuel defensive-offensive attitudes.
Affirmation:
Nothing can keep the love that I am from shining in all situations now.
Sunday, October 6
Morning is best for independent activities related to prosperity or creativity, or for researching a life change, while afternoon favors intuition, spiritual healing and manifestation.
Today’s numerology of 6 brings abundance and protection. Moon in deep Scorpio can help move us out of a rut, while her opposition to rebel Uranus brings our deep feelings to light and strengthens our independence.
This combination, while emboldening, is low on emotional intelligence. It favors independent activities involving creativity, spiritual healing, finding a shortcut, and researching a change we’re considering. We can work on or edit communications, but it’s savvy to sit on them until Tuesday, when influences favor interpersonal connections.
At 12:47 pm (3:47 ET), Moon trines mystical Neptune, accenting manifestation, intuition, spiritual practice, and healing.
At 3:52 pm (6:52 ET), Moon goes VOC. We might take a break until 4:34 pm (7:34 ET), when Luna enters affable Sagittarius, improving our chances of pleasant connection, and of success in activities requiring audacity and luck, such as:
- Trade
- Negotiation
- Going on a trip
- Lending or borrowing money
- Promoting something
- Business meetings
- Diplomatic encounters
- A legal matter
Affirmation:
The true substance of my world is divine, so everything and everybody enriches me, now and always.
Monday, October 7
Moon in Sagittarius, sign of exploration, combines with today’s intellectual numerology of 7 to favor gathering knowledge, study, and teaching. People connections go well most of the day.
There´s optimism in the air. We can apply our mental gifts to studying something related to faith, beliefs, foreign affairs and languages, or to researching and developing strategies for: teaching, trade, justice, campaigning, or something requiring diplomacy.
Make people connections before 7:50 pm (10:50 ET), when Moon squares pushy Saturn.
Affirmation:
My clear intention connects me with the knowledge, the opportunities, the resources and everything that´s part of its manifestation, here and now.
Tuesday, October 8
This is an important day for consolidating something relating to people, communications, or promotion. Today’s numerology of 8 and dynamic transits support tangible actualization.
Moon in extroverted Sagittarius brings enthusiasm and audacity that expand our horizons. Ruler Jupiter, planet of abundance, takes an opposition from Moon and a trine from Mercury the messenger: there is a flow of ideas, words and connections the we can use to teach, promote or broadcast. Charming Venus perfects a trine to hot Mars, bringing sparks in romance, fire to our creative work, and charisma in people connections.
Mars and Jupiter are both campaigners, and these energies also work for sales, promotion and in general getting the word out and garnering support for our cause, idea, service or product. They also move us to envision new possibilities.
Seize the day until 8:23 pm (11:53 ET), when a tension from Moon to wild Uranus can make for anxious attitudes. After this, enjoy a good read, astrological inquiry, or research for fun.
Affirmation:
The same power that set my good (healing, success, opportunities) in motion, continues to work and consolidate them, here and now.
Wednesday, October 9
This is a serious day, as abundant Jupiter goes retrograde, and our search—for meaning, confidence and abundance—becomes a more inward affair. Moon in Capricorn supports practical goals, getting organized, work and self-mastery.
Today’s numerology of 9 brings an energy of closure and retreat, and a focus on transmutation, altruism and philosophical or esoteric studies.
Moon in Capricorn, on the other hand, is practical and also serious, making this combination good for getting organized and gathering knowledge or resources to begin a new cycle of work. This work might involve beliefs, spirit guides and light beings, and our deepest attitudes related to abundance.
Jupiter, retrograde today, is about promotion, so the resources, knowledge and organization we’ll be gathering can also relate to the way in which we’ve been broadcasting something, or attempting to do so.
Affirmation:
I invite the Christ Mind to prosper through me, here and now.
Thursday, October 10
Our actions can be productive in diverse fields. Today’s pioneering numerology of 1 impels Moon in goal-oriented Capricorn to put her strategic abilities to work, while sweet Venus strengthens opportunities, charisma, and abundance as she aspects expansive Jupiter.
This is one of October’s most successful days, especially this morning. Moon´s early sextile to Capricorn’s ruler, Saturn, facilitates constructive opportunities, through 3:22 pm (6:22 ET), when Moon opposes tough Mars.
Today’s Venus-Jupiter quincunx brings magic for people connections, romance, a cause, and finances.
We might want to take a pause in resonance with today’s Second Quarter Moon, exact at 11:55 am (2:55 ET), to review and tweak our progress on intentions seeded at last week’s Solar Eclipse.
The Sabian symbol for this lunation at 17-18 Capricorn says:
THE UNION JACK FLAG FLIES FROM A BRITISH WARSHIP… The protection afforded to individuals and groups by powerful institutions in charge of maintaining order… when Great Britain’s fleet was policing… under the international principle of the freedom of the seas. Times have changed, but the concept remains valid. Power is required to maintain social order and relatively peaceful interpersonal as well as international relationships. Alas, this power can easily be misused under the pretext of preserving “law and order.” Justice and compassion must balance social power, and especially the power of privileged groups. Where this symbol appears, the need for protection may be in evidence — or it may be a warning against using power for selfish advantage… the ambivalence of POLITICAL POWER, its value and its dangers.
After this lunation is exact, we can continue to build, persist and reach out to individuals, groups or a broader public.
At 3:22 pm (6:22 ET), it´s wise to take a time out, as the Moon-Mars opposition is antisocial at best. At 6:02 pm (9:02 ET), Moon´s connection to easy Jupiter softens this energy, followed by another sextile to sweet Venus that makes evening great for people connections for romance, joy, prosperity, and with women.
Affirmation:
No person or group is without support. Spirit is in all places and Spirit is their defender, their liberator and their unfailing supplier now.
Friday, October 11
Moon in Capricorn helps us ground the prevailing energies of change. This afternoon Luna enters Aquarius, picking up the Venus-Jupiter contact to favor friendly and altruistic connections.
Energies of change are strong indeed, as Pluto turns direct today. Since May, when this planet of alchemy turned retrograde, we’ve been gathering inner power. Like floodgates opening, this energy now spills through and before us, pushing aside obstacles. At the same time, Moon activates the Cosmic Minor Grand Trine, precipitating opportunities to ground this revolutionary promise.
Moon goes VOC on a conjunction to intense Pluto at 8:53 (11:53 ET). Yesterday´s Venus-Jupiter connection is still in orb, balancing these forceful influences with a breath of diplomacy and facilitating positive connection. The key is to choose who we spend our time with and how we interact.
At 9:31, Moon enters friendly Aquarius. We can think outside the box, fight for a cause, charm others, do excellent research, make social connections, read the fine print, watch out for our interests.
Mercury takes a turn at triggering the Cosmic Minor Grand Trine through a quincunx to Uranus. This connection gives the messenger planet an upgrade. Intellectual and intuitive activities are highly stimulating, and connections with others can open unexpected doors.
Affirmation:
There´s an invisible power that works to free me from obsolete situations and to bring my divine network into relief, here and now.
Saturday, October 12
Intuition is high, with Moon in perceptive Aquarius and mental Mercury in quincunx to psychic Neptune. We can do spiritual healing or consult our spirit guides, or we can focus on something creative.
Today’s numerology of 3 is ruled by Venus, supporting creativity and positive connection. We can express this in anything from work to socializing, or by simply sharing kind words that encourage others.
These influences also fuel compassion, favoring heart-centered spiritual practice and people connections. Heightened sensitivity favors being selective of our company. With love planet Venus on her last day in Libra before entering dark Scorpio, it´s good to fuel a tie or ties that we value.
Affirmation:
The Divine Mother births me anew. She uses my body, my emotions and everything in my world to bring forth a new state of being. My rebirth is part of a collective process, and all of life works to push me forward, here and now.
Sunday, October 13
This is a relational but intense day, with Mercury the messenger making a square to Pluto, the godfather planet, before entering deep Scorpio. Aspects with Moon and Sun favor connection.
The best times for connecting with others are early morning, before 7:11 am (10:11 ET), when Moon goes VOC, or after 12:55 pm (3:55 ET), when she enters sensitive Pisces and trines Mercury in deep Scorpio, making for deep emotional communication.
We’ll want to use this deep relational energy in creative, empowering, healing ways, and avoid substance abuse or sliding into a manipulative dynamic. We can have deep conversation, journal, visit a therapist, connect with light beings, listen with empathy or use words to heal.
A trine from radiant Sun to expansive Jupiter increases confidence that we can apply in promoting or producing something, sharing our light, progressing on our mission, and reaching a wider public
However, in the wee hours, Sun will be squaring Mars, accentuating Jupiter´s explosive side. Avoid direct confrontation and if someone or something provokes you, be prepared to breathe deeply.
Affirmation:
The angels are present in this situation, facilitating harmonious connections, here and now.
Monday, October 14
Morning may feel heavy, with tensions involving bellicose Mars and strict Saturn. We can use this energy to declutter, and pace ourselves. Save people connections for this afternoon and evening.
Venus opposes rebel Uranus and approaches a trine with compassionate Neptune, fueling humanitarianism, creative inspiration, and feelings of kindness or romance with an unusual, progressive touch. These energies favor altruistic endeavors, emotional and spiritual healing, and praying for a group or cause.
This can be an exciting evening for people connections. But, we should keep our feet feet on the ground and our heads clear, to avoid getting love-bombed or swept away in the event a tide of fantasy surges. The same advice applies regarding a sudden business or financial scheme. Something new is coming, we can open our minds and study our options. But we want to look a bit longer before leaping.
Moon in Pisces favors visualization, creative activities, intuitive consultations, connecting with angels.
Affirmation:
Spirit is in all paths, so I am going in a divine direction, now and always.
Tuesday, October 15
On the portal of the Full Moon in Aries, we have opportunities to consolidate something of value and discover a new level of authenticity. Venus makes harmonies that enrich our love vibration.
This morning, Moon connects with Uranus the liberator, loving Venus, and dreamy Neptune. We can make great connections with light beings and do effective work on self-esteem, forgiveness, compassion, or to release situations and people. We can share brunch or attend a gathering with inspiring friends, produce great creative work, beautiful our meditation room or space, or enjoy unusual romance.
At 1:00 pm (4:00 ET), take some downtime, as Moon goes VOC until 1:34 (4:34 ET), when she enters assertive Aries, a placement that compliments the Venus harmonies. For the rest of the day, we can push ourselves to pitch something, make a cold call, promote ourselves or our work and get people mobilized without rubbing them the wrong way. Today’s numerology of 6 brings protection, good will and abundance.
Affirmation:
Archangel Michael shields us with his blue light, into which nothing negative can penetrate and out of which only good can come.
Wednesday, October 16
On the portal of tomorrow´s intense Full Moon in Aries, today’s mental numerology of 7 favors directing Aries’ restlessness in an intellectual activity.
The intellectual activity we choose could be heroic—starting a petition, galvanizing our contacts, writing letters to Congress, posting on social media about an urgent cause.
This evening, thanks to tonight’s sextile from Moon to expansive Jupiter, our thinking might also involve promotional activities, production, educational connections and an irresistible meeting of the minds.
Affirmation: I give thanks for Infinite Intelligence that expresses through me successfully, now and always.
Thursday, October 17
Today’s numerology of 8 supports consolidation of something tangible we´ve been working on, while the Aries Full Moon activates fearless Pluto, fueling our courage.
The chart for today´s Aries Full Moon, exact at 4:26 am (7:26 ET), is rich in potential. Moon and Sun make a cardinal grand cross involving courageous Pluto and Moon´s feisty ruler Mars. This potentially confrontative mix combines with important harmonies, including a minor grand trine, a kite and a grand trine in water signs. The combination supports us to cut through the crap and face something required of our present mission, perhaps our own resistance to take a stand or to follow through on our plans. This may involve a fight of some kind. We can push ahead to finish a job or project.
At the same time, Venus is involved with harmonious connections, including the water trine, indicating that emotions, spiritual influences and people can be of help in this achievement. See our October General Influences for more on this dynamic lunation.
As for today, we can try to act in a daring manner on something big, but first center our souls, lift our vibration, and gather our human and angelic tribe.
At 24-25 Aries, the Sabian symbol for this lunation says:
THE POSSIBILITY FOR MAN TO GAIN EXPERIENCE AT TWO LEVELS OF BEING… The revelation of new potentialities… a guarantee that man can operate successfully at two levels of consciousness, if he has previously met the condition mentioned in the preceding symbol. “Be open. Be able and willing to shape your translucent mind in the form revealing spiritual fulfillment. And you will be able to experience life and power on inner as well as outer planes.” The implied message is one of faith. Man can only truly experience what he deeply believes he can experience… the possibility of a new step in evolution, but it is still only a possibility, a promise. The individual is truly ON PROBATION.
Moon goes VOC at 12:36 pm (3:36 ET). Giddiness subsides and connections with others go better after she enters Taurus, sign of her exaltation, at 1:00 pm (4:00 ET).
Affirmation:
Goddess Sarasvati, please occupy this lunation with your golden light, so only good reaches earth through it, here and now.
Friday, October 18
Today’s numerology of 9 helps us tie up loose ends and finish our Full Moon projects, while Moon in stable Taurus and her sextile to constructive Saturn support tangible, lasting results.
Thanks to Moon´s opposition to Mercury the messenger in passionate Scorpio, early morning favors a lustful encounter, messaging, emotional healing, or preparing a negotiation.
The best time for connections is after 10:13 am (1:13 pm ET), when Moon´s sextile to Saturn perfects. Moon in Taurus can be quite productive, and this sextile sparks opportunities in business, work, real estate, home-building, and remodeling.
We can:
- Get a business or building permit
- Close a deal
- Have great connection with an elder, teacher, boss or authority figure of some kind.
- Open a bank account
- Buy a home
- Reorganize stock portfolio
- Take care of money
- Make an investment
- Lease or rent property
- Work on something related to security, protection, stability or lasting results.
Affirmation:
I am not without support, the divine insurer has got me covered, now and always.
Saturday, October 19
Today’s numerology of 1 gives us drive to get things done, combining with morning´s Moon in Taurus to favor acting on our dreams. This afternoon Luna will be in Gemini, making for easy connections.
We´re still on the Full Moon portal, so we want to tread softly, particularly early this morning, when Luna connects with pushy Mars and rebel Uranus.
We get a window of opportunity after Moon touches the Sun, at 7:44 am (10:44 ET), followed by a sextile to romantic, creative Neptune.
This lasts until 12:33 pm (3:33 ET), when Moon trines intense Pluto. This fuels passion and can facilitate emotional healing, journaling or financial research. It´s also emboldening, although we want to give things a light touch to avoid getting into power struggles.
At 1:07 pm (4:07 ET), the intensity subsides as Moon enters communicative Gemini, where she favors communications of all kinds, from playing word games to giving a presentation or making a business trip (with caution on the highway, after the recent Full Moon in Aries). We can obtain or sign a contract, have our ideas well-received, purchase computer or phone equipment, correspond, write, message, or manage a crisis.
At 5:30 pm (8:30 ET) Luna opposes sweet Venus, spotlighting personal communication for romance, socializing, negotiation or helping someone. Eloquence flows, we can beautify our words.
Affirmation:
My mind doesn´t hold toxic patterns, as Spirit fills me with divine thoughts, now and always.
Sunday, October 20
With Sun in quincunx to mystical Neptune, this can be a dreamy day, favoring intuition, devotion and creativity—with the exception of a few hours affected by Moon´s square to strict Saturn.
Today’s numerology of 2 is ruled by Moon, so we´ll want to be with others, especially with family or dear ones at home.
Creativity, dream work and romance flow, thanks to the connection from Sun in sweet Libra to imaginative Neptune in Pisces. This influence is great for a love-centered spiritual practice or a gathering. It can also be used to visualize and manifest affectional and financial plenitude.
For two and a half hours beginning at 11:07 am (2:07 pm), a Moon-Saturn square can feel cold and perhaps judgmental.
After this, we’re back to the facile terrain of Gemini Moon and the sweet mystery of Sun-Neptune. Communications are favored, but of a softer kind. Connections may seem magical and we can weave a spell with our words, in writing, speaking, a media production, sharing devotional practice or a visit to the sea, or communing with light beings.
Affirmation:
My words are not just ideas, they’re magical power that open doors for me and others now.
Monday, October 21
Mercury, planet of words, trines Saturn the builder. We can organize our thoughts, papers and communications. Morning favors sales and promotion, evening business, family and spiritual healing.
A Mercury-Saturn trine brings out the business potential of Mercury and of the Moon in Gemini, where she starts the day. Later this afternoon Moon moves into Cancer, which also has good business sense.
At 11:50 am (2:50 pm ET), Luna squares mysterious Neptune, going VOC at 2:00 pm (5:00 ET) on a trine to Sun. To avoid potential confusion, we might want to take a break and do spiritual or creative work or and soak in the tub until 3:50 pm (6:50 ET), when Moon enters intuitive Cancer.
We can now do business, express empathy and connect with family or other dear ones on this last night of Sun in sweet Libra—before tomorrow, when Sun enters strong Scorpio.
Affirmation:
I give thanks for the warm connections that I share, now and always.
Tuesday, October 22
A good, constructive day—if we can keep a handle on ourselves amidst the energies of change unleashed by today’s stars. Moon in Cancer facilitates intuitive guidance and mindfulness.
Sun bids Libra goodbye on a square to intense Pluto, before making his annual ingress into alchemical Scorpio. We want to improve ourselves, to heal, and to change, and we want it now!
Today, master number 22 can broaden the reach of service-centered actions to reach the masses. Messenger Mercury continues in orb of a trine to constructive Saturn, favoring communications for something practical we wish to last.
If we can avoid the drama and power struggles that could come with the Sun-Pluto square, people connections go well this morning, and even better after 3:17 pm (6:17 ET), when Moon trines stable Saturn, followed followed two hours later by a trine to Mercury. Afternoon and evening can be great for work, family and communications of all kinds.
Affirmation:
Divine love works in all changes, and there can only be divine changes for us, now and always.
Wednesday, October 23
Today’s adventuresome numerology of 5 blends with an approaching sextile from active Mars to innovative Uranus, and Moon in Cancer, to favor somehow acting on growth.
This growth could be through embarking on a new course of metaphysical study, taking an inner journey, working on self-help or psychic development, searching for new living quarters and/or taking audacious action in business, particularly real estate.
Try to take some downtime at 2:20 pm (5:20 ET), when sensitive Moon joins rough Mars, activating our defensive streak. We can also use this energy to act to protect a loved one.
At 3:16 pm (6:16 ET), Moon sextiles exciting Uranus. We can resume the activities suggested for morning, or give a psychic reading, connect with interesting friends or take action on a progressive financial option.
At 6:00 pm (9:00 ET), Moon trines Neptune, releasing waves of empathy and compassion that we can share by listening to, praying for or healing others. We can also enjoy family, home and our preferred spiritual practice.
At 9:47 pm (12:47 ET), Luna makes an antisocial opposition to Pluto. Take a hot bath or shower, change the bedclothes, and retire with a good book or healing prayers.
Moon enters playful, passionate Leo at 10:24 pm (1:24 am ET).
Affirmation (for the appearance of cancer or other false growths): There can be no harmful growth because the only power to produce is Spirit, Who only produces good in my body, mind and life, now and always.
Thursday, October 24
The prosperous, protective numerology of 6 combines with a harmony from brave Mars to progressive Uranus, to bring sudden success as we act audaciously on an unforeseen opportunity.
At 1:03 am (4:03 ET), Moon reaches her Fourth Quarter, beginning the last week of her cycle, a time to wind down and finish something we started before. Moon in Leo spotlights creativity, art, heroic participation, and putting on a show of some kind.
Afternoon is truly great for people connections, as this warm Moon trines sweet Venus, favoring social interactions and romance.
The Sabian symbol for today´s lunation at 1-2 Leo says:
AN EPIDEMIC OF THE MUMPS… The spreading power of individual crises through a collectivity…The broad meaning of an epidemic is that one individual, if infected by a certain type of disease, can spread the disease to a vast number of persons in their environment, and in some cases all over the globe… we deal with a process that affects the entire society; this obviously points out that the whole of mankind is potentially affected by, and thus, consciously or not, cannot help being involved in the critical situations faced by any individual or special group of people. Why then an epidemic of mumps? A childhood disease is implied, but it may have very serious consequences for adult men who catch it, since it affects not only all lymphatic glands, especially in the neck region, but also the testicles… Leo represents (at least potentially) rebirth – at the level of the conscious and mind-based individuality. Thus in Leo man/woman, in this sense, is as yet only a ‘little child’ one might say a would-be initiate, an infant in spirit. The relation of the mumps to the sexual glands is characteristic, for the entrance into the realm of the conscious and individualized mind can affect the sex force, either through over-stimulation and irritation, or in terms of a deliberate ascetic deprivation… THE INFECTIOUS SPREAD OF INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES.
Affirmation:
I can´t catch anything harmful because the only thing there is for me to catch is infinite good, now and always.
Friday, October 25
With Moon in firm Leo and bold Mars in sextile to daring Uranus, there´s courage in the air. Today’s numerology of 7 spotlights intellectual and intuitive activities. Fortune flows this afternoon.
With Moon making minor tensions this morning, we can work on an independent creative or altruistic activity that takes energy, or plan a Samhain fest or another holiday event.
At 2:42 pm (5:42 ET), the day picks up, thanks a sextile from Moon to expansive, abundant Jupiter. Opportunities surge. We can act on them, and promote, sell, teach or somehow advance our endeavors. In general, connections go well.
Affirmation:
Great, evolutionary forces are working with me, for me and as me, here and now.
Saturday, October 26
Today’s driven numerology of 8 helps consolidate something, while Moon in Virgo supports a productive focus. Afternoon favors deep, healing or constructive connections.
At 1:04 am (4:04 ET), Moon goes VOC in Leo, entering persistent Virgo at 8:47 am (11:47 ET). Combining with today’s numerology of 8, this placement favors diligent efforts on something we started before and want to consolidate. It can involve reorganization, practical manifestation, follow-up on communication, managing finances, reinforcing structure, and improving productivity. These influences also support romantic endeavors where traditional values are important.
Connections with others go best after 4:54 pm (7:54 ET), when Moon sextiles Sun in deep Scorpio, and Mercury the messenger applies in a quincunx to expansive Jupiter. We are emboldened and can use opportunities for strong connections and to solve problems. We can also reach out to someone in a position to help consolidate our intention, project, healing, or cleansing.
Think big. Act for finished results.
Affirmation:
With or without the approval of others, I persist in my vision, here and now.
Sunday, October 27
Moon in dedicated Virgo can help make a difference. Luna’s morning square to Venus can be applied to improve self-esteem, relationships with others, and something involving service.
We may want to rise early and use this morning’s Moon-Venus square before 10:56 am (1:56 pm ET), when Moon moves to oppose strict Saturn. This aspect can be gloomy, although with the boss planet in mystical Pisces, it can help us get organized in relation to healing work, spirituality, manifestation or a compassionate endeavor.
The rest of the afternoon favors organization, decluttering, cleaning, devotional activities, and service.
Affirmation:
I bless the opportunities to serve that flow for me, here and now always.
Monday, October 28
Balsamic Moon in worker-sign Virgo combines with today’s goal-oriented numerology of 1 and the influence of directed Mars and ambitious Saturn to support finishing something important. Proceed firmly but tread lightly.
We may want to use today’s wonderfully focused energies of Moon in Virgo to take concrete steps, as personal planets Mars and Venus connect with dreamy Neptune and solid Saturn, both in soulful Pisces.
Applied mindfully, these transits can help consolidate something important for our soul path. Mars brings impetus to imaginative Neptune, emboldening us to act on our dreams. Squaring Saturn, sweet Venus helps us beautify our work, imbue our spiritual path with intentional love, and we can integrate our values and prosperity into more concretely into our discipline. We can build for success in our intuitive, creative or spiritual project, or we can move to solidify our soul direction.
To proceed with clarity, we can consult spirit guides, listen to intuition, and avoid mysterious or iffy decisions, offers and places, since Mars with Neptune can get slippery, confusing or deceptive.
On the other hand, we shouldn’t let Saturn make us feel undeserving or doubtful about our prosperity and fortune. We can study our options, take the reins, and take action.
At 9:30 pm (12:30 am ET), Moon enters social Libra.
Affirmation:
I visualize completed results, and reality organizes to manifest them, here and now.

Moon in Libra joins with today’s numerology of 11—ruled by Neptune—to support compassion, artistic activities, empathy, angel connections and romance.
We might use this energy to see friends, go to a concert, download new music, send our partner roses, buy something for the house, take our flame out to dinner, create a space for relaxation, support human rights, make a court appearance, get our hair done, put up holiday decorations, or get candy handy for trick-or-treaters.
Calendar dates with today’s numerology of 11 are used by angels, who connect with the love vibration in human hearts to lift the planetary frequency.
Affirmation:
I radiate love to all life, and share the vibrations with the planet, here and now.
Wednesday, October 30
A great day for people connections. On the portal of Friday´s New Moon in Scorpio, Moon in adept Libra sextiles Venus, who also rules today’s numerology of 3. We can start something positive involving others.
Today’s best connections will be unique and stimulating, as messenger Mercury opposes Uranus, fueling sharp and independent thought and favoring intellectual and intuitive activities, including writing, research, and activism.
This afternoon, Moon trines expansive Jupiter. Compassion flows naturally; we find it easy to express our feelings, and we can charm, educate, and promote something to the public. If we’re planning to pass out candy or hold a Samhain party or ceremony, today is better than tomorrow. Same is true for people connections in general.
Affirmation:
I´m excited about the divine connections that surge in my life and around the planet now.
Thursday, October 31
The veil between the worlds is thin, with Moon entering Scorpio, sign of shadows, and squaring tough Mars and Pluto the resurrector. Mercury the messenger trines psychic Neptune. Best to keep a low profile, and use magical words.
We get an early window for people connections, that is, before Moon in Libra goes VOC at 9:57 am (12:57 ET). We can read fiction or enjoy beauty.
At 10:29 am (1:29 pm ET), Luna enters deep Scorpio, where she squares her two tough rulers, Mars and Pluto. This energy is intense and feisty, not conducive to positive or cheery encounters. We can use it to declutter, clean the garage or oven, write affirmations and letters to angels, repeat mantras, and use words to manifest.
Affirmation:
My words are divine law in action that create order, wellness and success, here and now.
