Today and tomorrow are strong for event timing. Mercury applies to a conjunction to Jupiter in Libra today, which is excellent for big picture thinking. It’s also strong for negotiations and coming to fair and happy agreements. There can be the resolution of conflicts now. While enthusiasm and good intentions are behind them, our communications may be lacking some warmth and sensitivity with Mercury-Jupiter’s exaggeration (tempered by the Libra sign placement) and Mercury’s semi-square to Venus today.

Horoscopes
Aries
With Jupiter in your partnership zone until a year from now, dear Aries, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to come to satisfying agreements with others and to benefit from your close connections. Today, Mercury moves towards an alignment with Jupiter in this sector of your solar chart, and conversations with others can be jubilant – and quite possibly useful, as well. You may be able to put ill will or conflicts behind you. It’s also possible that collaborating with someone can come up with great results. This is also a great time for public relations, connecting with a counselor or lawyer, and meeting with clients. There is some tendency to overstate or spend too much time in our heads today, however, so you may want to choose your words carefully now to avoid misunderstandings.
Taurus
This can be a wonderful day for opening up conversations with co-workers, taking tests, or for consultations with health practitioners, dear Taurus. It’s also a fine time for pursuing a new health interest or work project. While it’s important to tame your expectations to some degree, you may also enjoy exercising your mind and entertaining new approaches, methods, and ideas that can improve your life. You are feeling particularly hopeful about the future, and you should keep an eye open for opportunities to grow and expand in a business or project. There is a tendency to live in the head today, however, which should be watched. Otherwise, enjoy the day’s optimism.
Gemini
This is an expressive day, dear Gemini. Your ruler, Mercury, aligns with Jupiter, and you feel lucky! Communications of all kinds are emphasized, but especially those involving creative contacts, children, and romantic interests. Grand ideas regarding these things could emerge now. You are an open book, saying what you think, but perhaps talking ahead of yourself at times! You are full of enthusiasm for projects, but it’s important not to get too carried away. Avoid off the cuff remarks as much as possible, as you could say something that completely misrepresents what you feel in your heart. Otherwise, this is a good time for partnerships of all kinds (romantic, platonic, and business). An agreement might be reached.
Cancer
Your ideas are big, ambitious, and grand today, dear Cancer, and this is especially the case when it comes to your personal and domestic life. While you may need to tone things down if you’re so excited that others find you bossy, this is an excellent time for sharing happy moments with people you care about. Your approach to matters related to the home, family, and your feelings is philosophical and fair. You’re more inclined to speak about issues clearly and openly, which helps. There is some tendency to take things the wrong way, however, but you can rise above it. It’s also a good time for formulating long-range goals. Making plans for domestic matters is favored today, but you’ll need to fill in the details later.
Leo
There is a general tendency to overrate things and overestimate our capabilities today, dear Leo, but keeping this in mind, you can take advantage of this energy to stretch your thoughts. You’re entertaining big possibilities now. You may feel that you can do more than you are capable of, so watch that you don’t overload yourself with tasks or obligations. You’re in great shape for dreaming up new ideas for projects, and you can feel particularly enthused about what you’re learning or communicating now. There is some tendency to trip over ourselves in conversations, likely because we’re mentally aroused and temporarily forgetting to take care of others’ feelings. Kept in check, though, it’s a fine time to share activities and thoughts with a lover or child.
Virgo
You’re in great shape today when it comes to communications, dear Virgo, even if there can be some small misunderstandings. With extra sensitivity, it’s a beautiful time to dream up new ideas and make big plans. You’re good with details in general, but today you may be too excited about possibilities to weigh yourself down with practicalities, and this is just fine. The details will follow, in time. For now, it’s about pumping yourself up. Others are drawn to your sense of humor today. Overview thinking is highly favored, particularly when it comes to financial and business ideas. You can be excited about exploring and building on your talents. Tame impulses if you are shopping today, simply because elevated moods can temporarily blind you to the future.
Libra
Mercury and Jupiter are coming together in your sign, dear Libra, and this can boost your mind and communications. There can be good feedback and encouraging news experienced now. You are persuasive and interesting in your communications, and others may see you as especially wise and fair. Opportunities to expand your mind, to learn something valuable, or to resolve a conflict may present themselves now. You are attracting positive circumstances into your life. You can also be filled with fabulous ideas, although you may not be very disciplined for the time being. Enjoy the creative vision and resolve to fill in the practical details at a later date.
Scorpio
With Mercury and Jupiter coming together in your solar twelfth house today, dear Scorpio, hindsight is especially valuable. You’re also inclined to help and support others by drawing upon your wisdom – you have a lot to give. This can be a good time to open up about a private matter with someone you trust. You may have a significant meeting or event that occurs behind the scenes or a new understanding of a matter that has weighed heavily on your conscience. You see things in a more positive and forgiving light, and this is very helpful. It can also be an exciting day for personal reflection.
Sagittarius
There can be wonderful conversations with friends, connections made, and hopeful new projects on the horizon, dear Sagittarius, with Mercury and Jupiter coming together in your solar eleventh house. It can be a good time for conflict resolution if you need it, although a Mercury-Venus minor but challenging aspect can suggest some sensitivity to the finer points of communication, so you may want to tread with care. It’s also a good time for coming to an agreement with a partner. You may find yourself on the same page with someone close to you. Thinking in big, broad terms can help you come up with innovative new ideas and plans. Details may not get attention today, but they can be sorted out going forward.
Capricorn
The Moon moves out of your sign early today, dear Capricorn, and filling your emotional needs becomes less urgent. However, you’re especially excited about filling your mental needs today. You’re hungry to learn new things and to come to conclusions and resolutions. You may be reaching out to others and making valuable connections. There is some tendency to overlook the emotional component of your interactions in your excitement on a mental level, so you may want to watch for that to avoid hurt feelings or misunderstandings. Be on the watch for openings and opportunities, particularly involving career, business, finances, and reputation. Who you know may be important now, but what you say or your bright ideas can be just as relevant.
Aquarius
You can be immensely excited about a project, idea, or undertaking right now, dear Aquarius, with Mercury and Jupiter coming together in the house of your solar chart that rules the “higher mind.” You are enthusiastic about what you’re learning and willing to put in the time and energy to pursue more knowledge. You might be considering taking up an activity that you previously felt was not possible. Your ideas are big right now, but whether or not they will come to be, the important thing is that you’re feeling inspired and allowing new ideas to flow. It’s a time to stretch your mind and entertain new perspectives. Communications or news you hear might inspire hopefulness or lead to impressive opportunities.
Pisces
The Moon moves into the sign just behind yours today, dear Pisces, and this encourages you to keep some things to yourself, recoup, and take things easy. It’s a natural time of the lunar month for seeking out emotional refreshment. A Mercury-Jupiter alignment can excite you on mental levels. You may be seeing a problem or issue in a new way and discovering new meaning to a relationship. It’s a fabulous time for investigation and research. You might energetically pursue a line of interest or become consumed by a mystery. Talking about your feelings or confidential matters can be a sweet release and useful as well. You might come to a satisfying agreement about money or support, or a deal might be made that feels good.

Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
AIR STRONG
We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 10th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
