Astrological Context, Week of October 16, 2023
(All times Eastern)
Remember that these aspects (aside from entry into new signs) will be in effect a few days before and a few days after the exact dates listed here. So keep this in mind when reading the daily updates this week.
This week’s action is all at the end of the week. On Friday at 1:30am, Mercury catches the Sun. Their being close to the Sun means that communications and nuts-and-bolts things are challenging; but when they are exactly with the Sun, this is remediated somewhat. So late Thursday and the first half of Friday should be a little smoother. This is while Mercury makes an exact square to Pluto, bringing some real intensity to how we interface with each other. Thoughts and emotions may be disturbed. The following day, the Sun makes the exact square to Pluto, continuing the intensity, but shifting the focus somewhat to desires and competition. We may feel that others are standing in our way, specifically in areas of principle.
Saturday night into Sunday may feel like a major shift with Venus and Jupiter collaborating to make a lovely day for social interactions and most things in general. Mercury trines Saturn, bringing more structure than previous days to intellect and long-term planning and goals.
At 2:48am on Sunday, Mercury enters Scorpio, inviting us to investigate things on a very deep level and immerse ourselves in knowing.
