Astrology of the Day - Sun into Scorpio – Monday 23rd October 2017

The Moon remains in the sign of Sagittarius today, lifting our moods and giving us all an optimistic outlook. There is a sense of unreality about most of this day though with the Moon making a stressful angle to Neptune. We can deceive, but also be deceived and there is a distinct chance that we may get taken advantage of in some manner. The sense of wanting to escape the more stressful areas of our lives will be strong.

Mercury is also affecting Neptune and so is Venus. The Mercury link is a positive one, and it allows us to open our minds to all kinds of creative and artistic ways of achieving things. Anything from music to dance, watching films and doing arts and crafts will be enjoyable and rewarding. Venus makes a more stressful angle to Neptune, and while this also benefits anything creative, we may have to also shift our expectations with regard to finances and to relationships just a bit. We may be disappointed by the actions of a partner today.

The Sun also moves signs into Scorpio today and the autumnal chill will start to really bite now. This time of the year is one of change and transformation, as the leaves on the trees start to fall and summer plants start to die off. The Sun in Scorpio will make us quieter, more wary of our surroundings and it brings a more instinctive side to our nature. Its time to feel and sense what is right through intuition and instinct. It is closing in on Jupiter now and there is a need to experience everything in it's fullest sense. No half measures now, go for your goals fully committed...
