Monday, Halloween
This morning, the moon in Capricorn forms a conjunction with Pluto, who is also in Capricorn. Under this conjunction, it may feel like we are butting heads with everyone around us.

You are under no obligation to be “on” all the time.

In the wee hours of the morning, the sun in Scorpio forms a square with the moon. As earthlings we hate to see our celestial parents fight. Under this half moon, we can face many obstacles in our personal and professional lives. We may feel uncomfortable in our own skin and around others. This discomfort can lead to public disputes.

In the late afternoon, the moon forms a square with Uranus in Taurus. Our moods continue to be unpredictable under this square. This instability is causing a rift with our romantic partners.

It may be hard to communicate with our loved ones, which may lead us to feel unsatisfied or unfulfilled in our relationships. We may feel particularly isolated from an authoritative feminine figure. It may be difficult, but you may find it beneficial to reach out to a close confidant, a spiritual leader, or a therapist.

Some may say that you are merely daydreaming, but you are also self-reflecting. By allowing yourself to unapologetically daydream, you are tending to your inner child. Allow the ambitions of the real world to slip away for a few a few hours and revel in your dreams. Remember your dreams are what allow your ambitions to prosper.
