Mercury, the planet of communication, and Pluto, the planet of the unseen depths, square each other this evening. This alignment asks us of to dig deep within ourselves to find the words, images, and other carriers of information that allow us to more honestly convey our ideas and feelings.
Tuesday, October 5
Ideas and information are on tap today with Jupiter and Mercury positioned in balance around the Aries Point. There’s a steady stream of insights to be had, which we can use to help craft solutions and find a sense of deeply desired order.

Relationships seem to be a major theme this month. Not only is the Sun transiting Libra, the sign in which Mercury and Saturn are also residing, but we are treated to not one, but two, Libra/Aries Full Moons this cycle. Additionally, Venus—theiplanet of relationships, beauty, and pleasure—has been conjoined with her celestial lover, Mars, giving us an extra dash of will when it comes to expressing ourselves in partnerships and friendships. Also, in just a few days Venus will go retrograde and we will have a six-week period where we can reassess and redress relationships.
Believe it or not, though, that’s not it. Today, the day before the Libra New Moon (featuring both the Sun and Moon in Libra), the Sun and the Trans-Neptunian Cupido stand as equals around the Aries Point. As Eileen Nauman notes in this article, Cupid represents a higher octave of Venus (the planetary ruler of Libra). As such it signifies such things as social ties, marriage, and art. With its connection to the Sun, we have these facets illuminated, with their potential to shine strongly in the world.
In the period before the New Moon, we often feel the need to release something that no longer serves us to make room for something new to grow. With the Cupido archetype running strong today, we can use these energies to help us connect into our views on our relationships, seeing what beliefs, habits, or attitudes we may want to release so as to usher in new ones that can more align with our essential selves.

The Moon moving from Libra to Scorpio in the afternoon ushers in a change of mood that makes things more serious, intense, and determined. Today begins the 6-week Venus retrograde, a period where we have the opportunity to re-evaluate Venusian areas of our life (our relationships, the things that bring us joy and pleasure, where we find and express beauty). For more on Venus retrograde, including wellness suggestions, see this article.

The Scorpio Moon aligning with both Venus and Mars has us experiencing a greater sense of appreciation from the things that bring us pleasure as well as aligning our will with what feels good to us. It may also be a stirring-the-pot type of day so watch for waves of turbulence that others may initiate. If it’s you that finds themselves with a desire to do some stirring, having consciousness around the “whats” and “whys” that drive your actions can be judicious and beneficial.
Sunday, October 10
Today we may feel incredibly inclined to ask others for advice around romantic, family, or social issues. This isn’t a bad thing, of course. It’s just important to take all of the input and filter it through your sense of knowingness of what feels right. Additionally, don’t forget that even when people have your best interests at heart, their contributions are oftentimes filtered through their own personal unconscious needs and beliefs.
