Today is Monday, Oct. 3, 2011. I suggest you work with a game plan this week. The aspects suggest working toward one conscious goal, even though much else is happening.
Today’s Mars-Jupiter square may have you in the mood to make your point and make it with passion. Just be aware that others may not be in the same zesty frame of mind as you are. Likewise, if you’re feeling on the introspective side, note that others around you may be picking up on this assertive aspect and taking it out for a run. Mars-Jupiter in this setup is the picture of proselytizing energy. Make sure you get the word in before you get the word out, and if you encounter anyone trying to convert you to something, you might want to give them a wide berth. That said, you’re the one who might decide that it’s time to change your mind about something you’ve been pondering for a while, and you’re free to do so.
Overnight Sunday to Monday, the Moon moved from Sagittarius to Capricorn. This puts us in quarter-Moon phase, building toward the Oct. 11 Full Moon. Before the exact first quarter, however, the Moon will make a square to Uranus and a conjunction to Pluto. This is the kind of astrology that could be inspiring if you have nothing special to do, or could be frustrating if you have a clear agenda. So keep your focus while remaining flexible. Be mindful not to let small stuff get you in a bad mood — just keep going. The day has a ‘you make your own luck’ feeling to it.
Definitely check the traffic and transit reports before leaving the house, and the weather too, while you’re at it. Take a moment before leaving for work and make sure you remember everything you need to be prepared for the day. It’s just the kind of morning you could leave your cell phone on your end table. You could also solve some great riddle you’ve been pondering forever, or invent something.
