Astrological Alignments for October
/By Laura Michelle Powers: Celebrity Psychic, Author, and host of Healing Powers Podcast
On October 6, the new moon falls in Libra and joins forces with Mars, boosting energy and ambition but also you may experience aggression and impatience. With Mercury retrograde since September 27, expect that miscommunication could lead to struggle and a lot of frustration in relationships and personal paths.
What should you do during Mercury retrograde?
Mercury rules communication such as listening, writing, reading, speaking, as well as activities that are related to communication. It could be negotiations. It also rules travel, shipping, and mail. It is important to remain flexible and patient on what you do, and also more understanding. Give yourself extra time for travels and avoid signing on any new contracts or projects that you’re not sure of or compatible with. Also, double check your email responses.
If you have projects and plans during these times, make sure to review it carefully but wait until Mercury is direct again before making the final decisions. Make a back-up plan, and be prepared for any miscommunication you may encounter.
Always take a moment to reflect. Others may blame Mercury retrograde for all the chaos that occurs in their lives however, this is also a great time to loosen up and evaluate what you put your energy toward.
