In the past I have forecasted Wednesday to Wednesday but I am changing to a Friday-to-Friday format since it's better for planning the weekend and following week.
After last week's big total lunar eclipse and full "blood" moon in Aries has moved on so things are a tiny bit more settled but it is still bumpy.
There are many layers to astrological influence and how we experience the transits. Since all the celestial bodies are perpetually moving, the distant ones, Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn orbit around the heavens at a slower pace and their locations gets transferred to your individual birth chart, passing slowing through different sections or houses. Their influence is similar to a theater production. Pretend they are setting the theater's stage, mood, background and lighting. Then the faster celestial bodies, like the Sun, Moon, Venus and especially Mars are sort of like the actors who as they pass by activate (or start the show) the section/house and bring lots of drama and highlight a specific period of activity or focus there. Several layers of activity are occurring this week, some long-term slower transits and some that'll last a short time.
Slower transits happening this week:
The big clump of planets in Libra, Sun, Venus, North Node are passing through that long term square involving Uranus and Pluto and this is asking us to break down our relationships, security needs, partnerships, creative projects and make adjustments or perhaps even eliminate what is not authentic to us.
Lovely Libra is very diplomatic but opposing quick thinking, rebellious Uranus you may feel "done" and ready to move on. Look to 20-23º of Libra in your birth chart to find out where this plays out for you. This is a long continuation of you deciding if your love, security, intimacy, money, creative expression needs are being hijacked by your relationships. Only YOU can decide but I suggest that you keep in mind that your needs are EQUAL to anyone else's. Anyone with a birthday or planets in mid-Libra, mid-Aries or mid-Capricorn has been feeling this for a couple years. It will be coming to an end next year, so yeah! There is just some extra emphasis for the next week with the Sun, Venus and Mercury lighting up the stage!
The Fire trine including Jupiter (expansion), Mars (Action) and Uranus (freedom) is continuing until Thursday the 10/16. Use this potent rare opportunity to energize your plans and projects. It's giving everyone the extra confidence and push. It's in the 14-20º of all the fires signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Find those spots in your chart for where this fiery energy can help you ignite something.
Mercury is retrograde until the 23rd but still has a lingering effect until the end of the month.
Continue to review, reuse, renew, rework, redo, renovate or any other "re" action until it goes into forward motion.
Your communications and travel plans may get some hiccups but if you double check details, computers, cars, files, phones, contracts for misunderstandings or lost items you should be fine. As always preparing for the possibility will keep you from experiencing too much trouble.
Layer of faster Moon activities this week:
The Moon stays in each sign for approximately 2 ½ days. It's the fastest moving celestial body and its daily influence passes quickly but is still valid. It's more potent if it touches the bigger planets or aspects.
As the moon slides into Gemini early Saturday, Oct. 11th MST and this little emotional actress brings a perfect social butterfly mood to the whole weekend. Her contact to romantic Neptune creates a very idealistic mood (good for brainstorming) for the early part of the day but watch out for denial or confusion about your feelings. Sunday night you might get annoyed due to all the tasks you may have let go over the weekend or be drawn to someone or something high energy, involving world cultures, travel, spirituality, internet marketing, publishing or higher learning. Stay focused!
Monday morning you may jump out of bed with all those ideas percolating and the day should be pretty productive but by 5:00 pm MST, when the Moon slides into it's home sign of Cancer you will want to get home and cocoon, grab a good book, or some TV show into which to escape.
Tuesday the 14th finds potential power struggles early with mom, boss or other authorities and structures. If you tend to be timid this could also make you feel like you want to hide in your cubicle or home for a while and let it blow over. But if you can release your inner fierceness Tuesday and early Wednesday are pretty potent day for taking some action, in fact, you may be forced to take action since the moon (actress) is bringing deep emotions to the big cardinal cross layer that involves the Libra planets and the Uranus-Pluto square I described above. This day and a half is the most powerful period of the week. Remember communications are a bit uneven with the Mercury retrograde too so my recommendation is to go slow, make deliberate choices and if you must take risks, be cautious, as details may need to be reassessed at a later date. This arrangement often forces sudden break free moments for change's sake, which is for your ultimate good and necessary.
It's a "change, adjust, create and change again" energy until all the details and emotions are satisfied. Have faith in your ability to manage it all, you will.

Working on creative projects, with children, entertainment, or romantic liaisons are highlighted. Jupiter expands these fun loving couple days, but as I said earlier Saturn on the 18th reminds us to not get too crazy. It occurs for the most part in the middle of the night between Friday into Saturday so you may just sleep through these few hours. Unless you happen to wake very early (4am MST) or maybe are in the military or another public service branch, then you may find this a perfect time for a drill or organizing of some sort, and it would be very satisfying!
Overall this week contains some residual momentum pushing us to resolve our relationships but that has been brewing for months or even years so continue to examine your needs and make sure you are honest with yourself.
Lots of fun albeit uneven energy this week so be flexible and go with the bumpy flow.
