Astrology Forecast October 16 – 22, 2023

We will be marching to the beat of our own drummer this week, so forget what others think and follow your instincts; it is the best way to make the most progress!

There is an intense energy under the Scorpio Moon today, so be careful not to step on other people’s toes in your attempts to achieve your own lofty goals.

To make matters worse, the day begins with the Scorpio Moon in opposition to Jupiter in Taurus, which is a transit notorious for instigating legal issues and clashes with authorities, as well as conflicts in marriages and romantic relationships. Slow down, stay calm and watch for any signs of trouble at home, in the office, and on the road.

Tomorrow through Thursday will be more light-hearted as the Moon passes through fun-loving and social Sagittarius.

Thursday afternoon’s Sagittarius Moon sextile Mercury in Libra offers a particularly good opportunity for sales, advertising and marketing, and our communication skills will be at their best. However, we may not get much done due to the Moon’s square to Neptune in Pisces and sextile to the Libra Sun. These two transits tend to lower our energy levels and invite hypersensitivity, laziness, daydreaming, and a passive attitude. You may have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps to get it done!

Don’t worry if you don’t get your work done, as Friday’s Capricorn Moon will help you catch up in record time. The Capricorn Moon is also good for weekend projects, as it will fill your day with energy and zest on Saturday.

On Sunday, Mercury moves into the karmic sign of Scorpio and combined with an Aquarius Moon, anything can happen! Sudden changes of direction, upset plans, unexpected company, or conversations with a stranger are all hallmarks of this unique combination.
