Weekly Astrological Forecast for October 17-23
By Bob Mulligan
From October 17th to the 23rd relationships are important but we each carry our personal issues into every encounter. Now it is possible to see the truth; our partnerships can’t improve until we improve. Normal mundane tasks are there and need to be done, but in some ways they are completely beside the point as we work toward something greater in ourselves.
17th – Monday – Mars Sesquiquadrate Uranus, Mercury Opposite Jupiter – Feelings of urgency can have us jumping too quickly or just way overshooting the mark. Be aware that costly mistakes can be avoided by waiting a little longer for more data.
18th – Tuesday – Mercury Parallel Venus – Listen to others as meaningful advice can come from unlikely sources. Most people are making decisions based on how things feel right now. Be peaceful and you get further.
19th – Wednesday – Our normal routines are disrupted and we can become frustrated when our gut instinct seems to be off. Obstacles appear when we are too addicted to specific results. Learn from the environment.
20th – Thursday – Our hands are free and we more easily move forward. Forcing our will on another will have a deleterious affect; it is best to just share our gifts with others and see what they are able to assimilate.
21st – Friday – Mercury Contra-parallel Mars, Venus Contra-parallel Mars, Sun Trine Neptune – We experience a tremendous gulf between our higher values and beliefs on one hand, and our intransient material needs on the other. Our desires are strong and at war with our higher nature. Isolation breeds trouble and group interaction brings harmony.
22nd – Saturday – Venus Sesquiquadrate Uranus –Personal strength and courage are the character tools we use to establish our new sense of independence. Act with assurance and stay practical; others come along when they are supposed to be with us.
23rd – Sunday – Mars Sesquiquadrate Pluto, Sun enters Scorpio – It is easy to get in a fight, start an argument, or create an enemy. Be still; channel aggressive energy into meaningful projects.
