There is always something cooking, though a new wave of aspects is coming to a boil over the next few days, culminating in a rather deep Full Moon square Pluto on Sunday, Oct. 13. That is one peak of energy this month; the other is Mercury stationing retrograde on Halloween.

Our current week of Oct. 7 is sparky for a few reasons. Monday, Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus. Oppositions can represent confrontations and showdowns that move the story along. This is the first of two such aspects this week.
Mercury’s presence in Scorpio has a secretive feeling, though as it encounters Uranus, you can figure that not much is going to stay contained. Uranus represents a surprise element that can unravel previous plans, so make sure you have Plan B; and it will help if Plan A has some integrity to it, and does not involve confidential information. One of the themes of our era is that people think keeping secrets works, until they are revealed.
