Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Wednesday October 7^th — The Moon in Gemini is trine aspect to the Sun in Libra. Gemini is ruled by Mercury so the Sun and Moon in air signs buoy enthusiasm with positive speech. Moon is in a square aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces as Neptune is sextile aspect to Jupiter in Capricorn. Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in Cap, are disposed of by Saturn, ruler of Capricorn.  Mars doubly approaches the square aspect to Pluto, as the Moon is in a quincunx aspect to the 3 planets in Capricorn. This could promote experimental treatments as virus spread continues indicated by Jupiter sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces. Mercury in an opposition aspect to Uranus in Taurus, an aspect that could block or delay vital communication.

Thursday October 8^th — The Moon ingress to Cancer in the morning hours, the sign of the Moon’s rulership, showing strength for recuperation and healing. However, Mars retro in Aries is in a square aspect to Pluto in Cap, repressing the forward push. Mercury in Scorpio remains in the opposition aspect to Uranus in Taurus, possibly interrupting communication. Some matters of importance may be repressed or eliminated under this aspect.

Friday October 9^th —The Moon reaches the 3^rd quarter phase and is sextile aspect to both Venus and Uranus early morning EDT, and trine aspect to Mercury in Scorpio hours before the square aspect to the Sun. While these aspects may carry an optimistic message, there is danger with the Uranus in Taurus opposition to Mercury in Scorpio, disposed of by Pluto in Cap. The Moon in aspect to both Uranus and Mercury increases the time frame of the active opposition aspect. The official message carries some deception (Mercury in Scorpio). Mars retro in Aries is partile square aspect to Pluto in Cap. The underlying condition is set to explode. The opposition aspect from Moon to Jupiter in Cap near midnight could give a false sense of security.
