Astrology equation of week - October 8
It is a productive week. Venus applies to a conjunction to Saturn all week, and the influence increases as the week goes on. Venus and Saturn aren’t a terribly good combination. The aspect challenges us to examine our love relationships to determine how real and solid they are. There can be a tinge of depression about relationship or a tendency not to feel worthy of love. It’s important to keep that in perspective all week, because this energy affects us all. Additionally, moon’s node is also making opposition to this aspect. It will amplify the negativity of this aspect. If you are born near 26th of any month, you will feel this aspect more closely.

Luckily, Mars and Mercury are making great aspect with this conjunction. This is highly favorable for hard work in business and in the world. Not a flashy time, Saturn and Mercury focus on applied, practical mental work, while Mars and Saturn promote detailed physical achievement. So, you can expect some productive decision making during this transit.

The New Moon in Libra presents an opportune time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Scales: Because Libra rules all forms of relating, it's worth beginning with the most important of all human relationships: our stewardship of this planet. Because the Libra New Moon rules love and relationship, this is the most powerful New Moon for bringing new love into your life. This year, the Libra New Moon has a lot of help from a sextile with Jupiter (joy) in Sagittarius (generosity of spirit), a trine with Neptune/Chiron in Aquarius (a revolutionary shift toward healing the suffering of others).

Only negativity attached to it is Uranus and Jupiter square is on peak. Jupiter continues to square Uranus all week, and the Sun applies to a sextile to Jupiter starting mid-week. This continues to be favorable period for speculation and for physical development and growth. During Jupiter and Uranus square, you may be restless and eccentric, and you can feel discontented with, or unenthusiastic about, life in general. You may become obsessed with being independent, to the point that you reject help when it’s offered If you are born near 8th of any month , you will feel this new moon more closely.

Virgo, Pisces and Libra are most active Sun and ascendant combination this week.

Mercury will be stationary near October 11. This may create communication mess and delays. Plan things in advance as some past events could demand your energy. Near this new moon, its impact will be at peak.
