• Lunar position ~ Pisces until Aries at 1:45 AM PDT – With the Moon transitioning into Aries early in the morning, you may still experience the need to take time for yourself today. Although an opposition between the Moon and Venus indicates that you may feel torn between taking care of self and others, personal issues may be at the forefront of your mind and a brisk walk may help in working them out.
• Significant Aspects that may inspire or inform magickal workings:
  • Sun (10th/Scorpio) opposite Uranus (4th/Taurus R) – concerns self-expression which is strong, unpredictable, and impulsive and the conflict that can foster with others. Sun quincunx Chiron R also reinforces this impact
  • Jupiter (1st/Capricorn) sextile Neptune (3rd/Pisces R) – caring and loving attitude toward partners, understands the concerns of others
  • Jupiter (1st/Capricorn) conjunct Pallas (1st/Capricorn) – involves maximizing a strategic approach and manifesting from a higher perspective
  • Saturn (1st Hs/Capricorn) conjunct Pluto (1st Hs/Capricorn) – describes expressions of power and the value of self-discipline
• Polarity – Masculine (15), Feminine (8)
• Elemental Influence ~ Fire and Air energies are strongest today providing a foundation to balance will with intellect. Ideas and motivation should flow well today.
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~ Cardinal qualities are strongest and you should feel both motivated flexible today to accomplish a variety of tasks.
• Rays ~ Rays 1 (will/power), 3 (active intelligence), 4 (harmony through conflict), and 7 (ceremonial order/magick) are influencing today with the 3rd Ray (active intelligence) having the greatest effect. Allow the truth to light your way today.
• Black Moon Lilith ~ Taurus — remaining in your comfort zone is tempting, but it also signals an unwillingness to take risks toward a better outcome.
• Node influences ~ N Node – Gemini; S Node – Sagittarius describes the need for self-control and focus on a spiritual perspective. The challenge involves understanding the viewpoints of others as well as expressing your own in a helpful manner. Avoid self-defeating behavior.
• Lunar Phase ~ Waxing; 1st Qtr – 23 Oct 2020 at 6:24 AM PDT at 00°Aqu35′; Full Moon (2nd this month, Blue Moon) – 31 Oct 2020 at 7:50 AM PDT at 08°Tau38′
• Mansion of the Moon ~ 1st – Alnath– 0°Aries – Horns of Aries; causes conflict and promotes travel
• Retrograde ~ Mercury (interactions are tricky, avoid signing contracts or purchasing electronics, take nothing for granted); Chiron (allow for inner transformation, letting go of past woundings); Neptune (let go of illusion and discern the truth); Uranus (allow for the unexpected and focus on change from within); Mars (potentially intensifies the inner expression of will)
