Daily Astrological Forecast, October 1–7, 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.
