Weekly Horoscope for Oct. 13-19

Sunday: the Moon is in Aquarius
Today is a time for unusual things – anything that is not normally in your everyday life. Stretch your comfort zone and allow yourself to experience something extremely different!

Monday, Tuesday: the Moon is in Pisces
Make the beginning of this week quiet and creative. Dreams and imagination are important when Pisces is around. Trust your intuition.

Wednesday, Thursday (Full Moon): the Moon is in Aries
Ideas and new or renewed projects may take form, at least as they will appear in the beginning process. Remember that Aries can be “fast start, fast finish” meaning take your time and be thorough if you want to avoid big mistakes and the need to start all over again.

Friday, Saturday: the Moon is in Taurus
This is the sign of the Moon’s exaltation, its highest power. Do something really special this weekend, something that you find delightful.

When reading this weekly horoscope, check your astrology chart to find which house (section of your chart) has the current Moon sign on the cusp (the beginning edge) & apply forecast information to that area of your life as well. For example, if the Moon is currently in Leo and one of the suggestions is to entertain – however Leo is located in the 12th house of your chart, which is an inward energy place…then have a small, quiet gathering. By contrast, if Leo is located in the 1st house of your chart, an outward energy place…have a party! It is also interesting to note when the current Moon is in the same sign as your birth Moon and to see how the flavor of that day carries through the following 30 days.

Note: Weekly horoscope timeframes for Moon signs, void-of-course periods, and current planet & asteroid positions are noted for Eastern time zone (USA). Please adjust according to your own location. Times are not given if the void-of-course Moon occurs for a very short period or if it occurs during the night (based on same Eastern time zone).

∗Mercury Retrograde – the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Communications, paperwork, electronics, traffic and mail can become very mixed-up, delayed, or go on the ‘fritz’ during this time. A situation will be in the process of changing, so wait until Mercury is direct (resumes its regular speed) to finalize anything. In general, maintain a slower, more cautious pace in daily affairs. Always allow at least two days before (to slow down) and after (to resume regular activities) a Mercury retrograde period. (Read More about Mercury Retrograde including *Direct & In-Station)

*Venus Retrograde – just like Mercury, the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Relationships, especially love relationships, will likely be more in the background than upfront. Take it easy with expressed feelings of that nature and agree to address any concerns after Venus goes Direct. (See info about Mercury Direct & In-Station and apply that to Venus when appropriate.)

*Mars Retrograde – just like Mercury, the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Decisions and actions will be more difficult to implement. Avoid confrontations. Be careful about cuts & burns. (See info about Mercury Direct & In-Station and apply that to Mars when appropriate.)

**Total Lunar Eclipse – when the Moon appears to be completely covered.
**Partial Lunar Eclipse – the Full Moon is not completely covered.
**Lunar Eclipse/A – appulse, a penumbral eclipse, the Moon enters only the penumbral of the earth. (penumbral = shadowy, partial shadow, marginal area)
