This week the sky rests on two constructive aspects. On Thursday 15 October the sextile between the Sun and Jupiter reaches its exact point; this aspect, formed between the Sun in Libra and Jupiter in Leo, brings optimism, generosity and expansion. An opportunity opening up, support arriving, or a long-awaited approval coming through may fall on these days. Because the Sun is in fall in Libra, this support is not showy, but it is real.
On Friday 16 October the trine between Mars and Saturn is completed. Formed between Mars in Leo and retrograde Saturn in Aries, this fire trine combines action with discipline; it is one of the most productive combinations in classical astrology, bringing energy together with patience and structure. Mars is now out of its fall, so this trine carries genuine workability. For starting a long-term piece of work, laying the foundation of a project or settling a routine that requires discipline, this is the most reliable window of the week.
In the background Venus continues to travel in detriment and retrograde in Scorpio; the review in the areas of relationships, values and money goes on, and returns to the past and re-evaluations are on the agenda. Its square to Mars, meanwhile, is separating, and last week's tension is easing. Mercury moves deeper through Scorpio and moves into a square with Jupiter towards the weekend; the mind that goes into detail and the view that sees the big picture may run against each other, so avoid reaching an exaggerated judgement on any matter. After the New Moon the Moon is in its waxing phase and passes through Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn.
