Mercury Retrograde Shenanigans: October 18th-24th Astrology Forecast

 Mercury retrograde has been flirting with a direct opposition to Uranus in Taurus. Monday night is the peak of this opposition. The effects carry out all week.

Set up the best conditions and scenario to get your ballot in and see if you help a neighbor, friend or within your community so that EVERYONE gets to VOTE. Preserve democracy. If you're casting your first vote ever, feel your part in this historic election.

Sunday: Scorpio Moon aspects five planets in a row. The Moon alignment with Venus may help partners feel more forgiving and open to working together. Moon and Neptune in water signs also encourages going easier on one another. You may also experience this as spiritual experience and inner healing. Venus opposes Pluto with emphasis on realizations about relationship and love. The Scorpio Moon forms sextiles, harmonious angles, with Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Feelings may be easier to express, even for those who tend to hold things in. The expression is more likely to be business-like however. Declarations of love may not gush forth so much as reveal themselves in sensible, rational, even calculated or long thought out ways. Actions may be more telling that words. Libra Sun squares Saturn today with a focus on agreements. Legal matters may be put on hold. Void Moon 5:43 pm to 12:43 am EDT when the Moon moves to Sagittarius. Today's color is Purple.

Monday: Sagittarius Moon is in the upward cycle between New and Full. Mars and Jupiter squared overnight, and tonight the Mercury/Uranus opposition is exact. Mars is retrograde in Aries and reflective of the anger and hatred we are seeing through the news now. Retaliation or misuse of force or power could be an effect of this square. Pay attention to your instincts and channel difficult emotions in the healthiest ways if they arise. Jupiter may help keep Mars energies in check. Structure may be a good thing while restlessness could have undesirable effects. Uranus and Mercury interplay brings out inventive ideas, radical and sudden news or statements, and surprise changes in plans or change of mind.  Keeping up with rapidly developing situations is one aspect of this day. Another is being able to think or act spontaneously. Today's color is Red.

Tuesday: Sagittarius Moon with four aspects including a sextile to Libra Sun. This may help certain matters go forward. Keep Mercury retrograde in mind and allow for future flexibility. This may not be the best time to get locked into something or fully commit. However, decisions may be made more readily with less overthinking. Neptune, Mars and Venus are the other planetary players, all reminding us that our actions affect others from partners to adversaries. Be authentic and own your actions. It may be a good day for fun, travels and social plans. Void Moon 11:38 pm EDT to 2:44 am. Wear Light Blue.

Wednesday: Capricorn Moon. This is an interesting part of the waxing Moon cycle since the Moon will meet all three planets in Capricorn tomorrow. Capricorn traits include organization, structure, industriousness, ambition and leadership. Today, the Moon aligns with Mercury retrograde and we may get involved in unresolved or unsolved matters. Something may be resolved, at least temporarily. You may come up with a plan to try out and decide on permanently later on this season. Set up favorable conditions for anything that could be successfully accomplished tomorrow. Old business is definitely up for action right now. The Moon and Uranus align in earth signs, which may bring up inventive solutions and unpredicted changes. Venus continues to stimulate relationship and partnership matters, and when aligning with Pluto may help us face relationship realities, feelings and fears. If you've been overly critical or hard on someone, maybe you are able to see this and mellow out a bit. This earth sign alignment can be constructive and productive in close, personal interactions. Wear Black.

Thursday: Capricorn Moon meets the trio of planets in this sign, one by one, into the overnight. Technically, the Saturn conjunction is after midnight on Friday at 12:35 am. First, Pluto and Jupiter are in conjunction with the Moon. Neptune also weighs in from Pisces and Venus, from Virgo. This looks like a day of 'things coming together', though I also believe some things will remain unclear. Approaches and actions produce results and effects as the Moon meets the three, all of whom were retrograde during this summer and into fall. Things that were put off or couldn't be handled are back in the forefront. Do your best to put together step by step plans, to work within structures, and to be solution oriented in order to work with this powerful confluence of Capricorn energy. Leaders may emerge. Plans for growth or even reduction emerge too. This is all about how to go forward in business or on the home front, with building and in workplaces. There are sympathetic and loving tones from Venus and Neptune, softening the sometimes emotional detachment of Capricorn. Also, this is the beginning of Scorpio time as the Sun changes signs at 7 pm EDT. Babies born earlier are Libras. Today's color is Blue.

Friday: Capricorn Moon meeting Saturn means double business. This serious conjunction overnight will show up in reality checks and in a big way. Void Moon 12:35 am to 8:17 am EDT. The morning could get off to a challenging start. All in all, people will be focused on their responsibilities and excuses may not be welcomed. The idea here is 'Do what you're supposed to do'.  Aquarius Moon from 8:17 am until Sunday after 5 pm. The Sun and Mercury retrograde are square to the Moon. Our challenge is to act for the good of all, not only in personal interests. Energies are very fixed today, which can mean not alot of flexibility or leeway. Today's color is Silver, a color that lights the way. 

Saturday: Aquarius Moon square to Uranus and aligned with Mars, two planets that affected earlier days of this week. Something may very well catch you off guard. Anxiety could be heightened. Also, alternative, radical and unusual ideas or news are likely. Again, we are called to act for the good of all as we have this opportunity to help co create a more peaceful, loving, enlightened world. Venus and Saturn also align today as we harness energy to improve our personal relationships and trade chaos for a real plan. Today's color is Turquoise.
