AUDIO VERSION: October 26
Hello, everyone.
This week Mercury and Saturn change signs and the Moon continues to wax toward Full. The first two days are fairly quiet and then the action begins on Wednesday.
Wednesday
On Wednesday Mercury, the planet of communications, enters the sign of Scorpio where it will remain until November 15. The mind deepens and is interested in what lies beneath the surface. Use this time for research and analysis as well as deep heartfelt conversations that lead to agreements regarding sharing resources, including money.
On the same day, Venus trines Jupiter, bringing an optimistic outlook. This is a great day to make financial decisions, because generosity and hopefulness rule the day. This is a good day for big productions or gatherings so plan to bring out your sales force or initiate a new marketing campaign. This aspect uplifts all markets, including the stock market, because when people feel good, they act with confidence.
Mercury and Pluto also shake hands amicably today. Look for penetrating conversations that leave no stone unturned. Your speech is powerful today so use your words well.
Thursday
On Thursday, with the Sun square Mars, there is an intense output of energy that can lead to stress and even accidents. Take it easy! You may have head-to-heads with your second in command as they challenge your authority. If you can find a way to let them shine their own light, their productivity could soar today. Just keep your hands on the reins because the tendency today is toward impulsive action.
Also on Thursday, after two years in Virgo, Saturn is moving into Libra. More on this later in the week, but a teaser is…we should see a return to more reasonable unemployment levels which is good for everyone, our businesses included!
Saturday
Happy Halloween, a very Scorpio-like celebration!
Sunday
Be careful today. Similar to Thursday’s Sun/Mars square, today’s Mercury/Mars square can cause arguments and conflicts to erupt. Since Mercury rules information systems, we could see an overload of energy causing mechanical breakdowns and then blame going back and forth between your IT team and your operations team. Someone needs to make sure all your data is backed up before the weekend, and that someone is you. The people around you are acting first and thinking second, a good recipe for problems.
Let me know how the week plays out.
