Weekly Astrological Forecast for October 1-9
By Bob Mulligan
From October 1st to the 9th we go from one extreme to another. Intensely creative feelings run against the grain of established and necessary obligations. We can see new ways of accomplishing old tasks but aren’t able to implement them yet. This is confusing and frustrating but also visionary and inspiring. Be patient; it gets better.
1st – Saturday – Sun Parallel Mercury, Sun Quincunx Jupiter – Good meetings and positive social interactions give sparkle to life. Common sense boils down to acknowledging the pleasures of the moment but then knowing when everyone has had enough.
2nd – Sunday – Stay friendly and comfortable with people marching through your life. Indecision and combativeness can make us less effective in our work, social life, and relationships.
3rd – Monday – Mars Square Jupiter, Mercury Sesquiquadrate Neptune, Mars Contra-parallel Pluto – Tension builds as we may be trying to accomplish too much in a short time. Anger, frustration, and escapism can all detract from an otherwise astoundingly creative day. Stay focused on long term goals and values as a counterweight to immediate distractions.
4th – Tuesday – Mercury Parallel Saturn – Organize your priorities and elicit other people’s help; you will be amazed at the response. Careful planning and consistent effort pays off.
5th – Wednesday – New insights show the manner in which innovation can be most effective. A little lift to every project points to some form of inspiration.
6th – Thursday – Mercury Conjunct Saturn, Sun Sesquiquadrate Neptune – We are in a moment of transition. We are finishing some project of long duration and simultaneously seeing where we want to apply our energy next.
7th – Friday – Sun Parallel Saturn, Venus Trine Neptune – Be brave enough to take the steps necessary for your real inner beauty to unfold. This is a moment of finding higher love and inspiration.
8th – Saturday – Our mood is shifting from open acceptance to a narrower focus. A quick jolt of energy is the necessary requirement to complete a long sought after result.
9th – Sunday – Venus enters Scorpio – We may be at a loss as clouds of thoughts give us too many options and not enough clarity. If possible, just rest. There is a rhythm to our inner world that keeps us focused on what is important when we take the time to recognize it.
