I know we are probably still reeling from the effects on f the full Aries moon last night. But let’s talk about this week’s lunar transits and how they may affect our daily lives!
Monday, October 10th
Early this morning, the moon in Aries forms a strong sextile with Mars in Gemini. Under this sextile, we feel like we can take on anything. We handle our issues in a pragmatic way and have the courage to face situations that once intimidated us. We are speaking our truth and we expect others to be truthful with us.
Around breakfast time, the moon forms a square with Pluto in Capricorn. Under this placement, we feel anxious and hypersensitive. At this time, it may be tempting to get lost in our own imaginations. A little wishful thinking never hurt anyone. But be careful not to indulge in escapist fantasies too much, or else you might neglect your real-world obligations.
Later in the afternoon, the moon moves out of wild-card Aries and is welcomed by practical and dependable Taurus. Under this taurine moon, our family, security, and creature comforts are most important to us. This moon fuels the need to preserve and increase monetary gain. The need for financial stability is driven by the desire to take care of your family. Your intentions are pure and understandable. Just remember to take a moment to enjoy time with your family. Maybe plan an outing or a game night. Stability is important, but quality time is paramount.

Wednesday, October 12th
In the wee hours of the morning, the moon forms a conjunction with Uranus in Taurus. This constellation brings out the positive and negative traits of Taurus to an extreme. Under this conjunction, we may be stubborn and hard to reason with. We might lack an inner balance and be unwilling to compromise. We also might develop unusual habits or fall back into certain unsavory behaviors. But on a more optimistic note, love may be in the air.
An hour later, the moon forms a square with Saturn in Aquarius. Under this placement, we find it difficult to hold onto the positivity we felt earlier in the day. We may feel depressed or unsatisfied with our current situation and find it difficult to express our true feelings.
Around lunchtime, the moon forms a sextile with Neptune in Pisces. Under this trine, our minds are active and enthusiastic. We have been sensitive to the needs and emotions of those around us, but now we are sensitive to our own needs and desires. Earlier we used our imagination to accomplish a variety of tasks that needed to be done. Now we can use it to indulge our own artistic interests. Now is a wonderful time to work on our passion projects and fulfill ourselves spiritually and creatively.
Later, the moon forms a trine with Pluto in Capricorn. Under this placement, emotions that have long laid dormant are awakening. We have an intense desire to experience new things and to travel to new places. We also have the urge to participate in daring physical activities. Maybe it’s time to plan a cross-country trip, or explore a different country, or try out a new sport.

We feel beautiful from the inside out and appreciate all the beauty around us. Now is a good time to spread the love around, and direct your energy toward philanthropic causes. You can donate to your favorite charity or take part in some community outreach.
Later in the morning, the moon forms a trine with Mercury in Libra. Under this trine, we are open-minded and willing to learn. Our minds are sharp and our speech is clear. At this time, we can easily influence others with our charisma and leadership qualities. However, it is important that we wield this power with great discernment. We want to keep our influence a positive one.

We have a healthy work-life balance and we feel proud of our accomplishments. The relationships with our friends and family are strong and our relationship with our partner is flourishing.

This evening, the moon forms a square with Neptune. Under this placement, we are passive and anxious. We may feel extra sensitive and can be easily hurt by the words and actions of those around us.
