Astro-logical Forecast for Tuesday 10/8/2013: Serious Highs

A bit of a twist or slow start to your morning routine if you live on the East Coast, courtesy of the void-of-course Moon. But the wandering drift gets into gear by 8:21AM ET, with the Moon’s entry into high-flying Sagittarius, where it hooks up with Venus shortly thereafter (9:21AM ET). Seeking aesthetic pleasures and social expression that broaden horizons? Feeling compelled to wax philosophical over some “big picture” construct? Dreaming of travel in foreign lands?

Dreaming and other ideals may well be on your agenda by lunchtime, courtesy of nebulous Neptune challenging that opinionated Moon. That aspect makes an interesting counterpoint to the sobering hook-up between mental Mercury and stern Saturn mentioned in earlier forecasts, and which is exact at 3:39PM ET. Watch the headlines for some heavy stuff to hit. In your own personal world, use this penetrating energy to get real about one of those dreams. You will feel the weight of this Mercury-Saturn hook-up more personally if you were born around the 2nd of November, February, May or August…or if you have a planet or angle at 11 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius.

Later tonight you can indulge the Sagittarius Moon by looking up at the night sky for the annual Draconids meteor showers. High-flying, indeed. And now, a song for a day with Moon conjunct Venus in Sagittarius (purple) and Mercury conjunct Saturn in Scorpio (heavy). Take it away, Kate Bush
