The Moon transits from Capricorn to Aries this week’s timeframe, the first quarter Moon phase on Thursday, and an opposition aspect to Mars in Cancer, forming a Grand-cross configuration with Sun in Libra opposition aspect to Chiron in Aries. A T-square configuration in cardinal signs follows as the Moon conjunction with Pluto and ingress to Aquarius on Friday. The developing soli-lunar cycle at the crisis, if unresolved, could allow the Mars action to predominate. Pluto returns to direct motion on Saturday.

Summary of major and minor aspects of the week
Wednesday October 9th — The Moon ingress to Capricorn 09:40 UTC; 05:40 EDT; 12:40 EEDT, the cardinal earth sign, therefore with a Yin quality. Seeking ownership, or diplomatic solution to conflicts occupies much of the diplomatic circles. We can search for solutions to daily life with a more detached view. Venus in Scorpio trine aspect to Mars in Cancer, indicates peace overtures are made, friendly relations at home and with partner. Chiron retro in Aries in opposition aspect to Sun/Mercury could be harbingers of a solution to conflict. Mars approaching square aspect to the midpoint of Sun/Mercury and to Chiron retro, disposed of by the Moon, focuses on solutions, as a cardinal T-square develops.
Thursday October 10th — The Moon makes a conjunction aspect with Ceres early today, and sextile aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces simultaneously. A new possibility of hostage releases or exchange may be proposed. Venus in Scorpio makes quincunx aspects to Jupiter retro in Gemini and Chiron retro in Aries, creating a Yod configuration, another symbol of fortuitous events.
Friday October 11th — The cardinal T–square configuration described for Wednesday strengthens [see chart above]. The Moon in Capricorn is trine aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus early today and sextile aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, then making a conjunction aspect to Pluto at the ingress to Aquarius 16:32 UTC; 12:32 EDT; 19:32 EEDT. The friendlier aspects to the trans–Saturnian planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, seem to indicate positive changes amidst conflicts, as the talent configuration, involving the aspect to theses three, is again activated.
Saturday October 12th — The Moon in Aquarius, equidistant from Ceres in Capricorn and Saturn retro in Pisces, offers an opportunity for resolution. Pluto is stationary and prepares to return to direct transit. Mercury in Libra is quincunx aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, while Venus in Scorpio doubly approaching the opposition aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, possibly challenging the recessive economic conditions.
Sunday October 13th — The cardinal T-square, described for Wednesday, reaches partile, and the Sun in Libra trine aspect to Jupiter in Gemini is part of the wedge formed with Chiron retro in Aries and the Sun, expanding the influence of diplomacy (searching for solutions). A second T-square configuration is formed with the Moon in Aquarius at the apex, and Venus doubly approaching opposition aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, as economic factors become predominate. The Moon ingress Pisces 19:56 UTC; 15:56 EDT; 22:56 EEDT, as chaos again ensues. The Moon trine aspect to Mercury in Scorpio indicates an emotional appeal.
Monday October 14th — The Moon in Pisces makes a conjunction aspect with Saturn retro, strengthening resolve, and sextile aspect to Ceres in Capricorn. Ceres is disposed of by Saturn. A release of hostages is forthcoming, as Venus is doubly approaching a trine aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, and a partile opposition aspect to Uranus in Taurus. Mars in Cancer is partile square aspect to the Sun in Libra and to Chiron retro in Aries, the partile cardinal T-square configuration. Finally indicating to bring them home.
Tuesday October 15th — The Moon in Pisces [chart image above] touches on a trine to Mars, the apex of the major T-square configuration, and then makes a trine aspect to Venus in Scorpio, a sextile aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus and a conjunction aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, also sextile aspect to Pluto in Capricorn, bringing together the major players of the year, as a turning point is created. The Moon ingress Aries 20:35 UTC; 16:35 EDT; 23:35 EEDT as efforts to implement agreements begin.
