Storm's Weekly Breakdown for October 2, 2023 – October 8, 2023

The beginning of the week should come with a warning sign: Check and verify everything!  Why?  Mercury, the planet of communication, opposes Neptune in Pisces.  Mercury oppose Neptune is a tricky aspect in every sense of the word,  because of its association with deception, shady activity, and scams.

  Be careful if you are presented with an opportunity that is too good to be true, because it probably is. The good news is Mercury trines Pluto on Tuesday, and the truth will ultimately be revealed.

Midweek, Mercury still dominates the cosmic energy as he moves out of Virgo and into Libra. Mercury in Libra likes fair and balanced communication and has a deep disdain for a lack of civility.  This is the perfect time for negotiations, business deals, and signing documents.  Since Libra is associated with relationships, if you need to air out your grievances or make amends, this is the perfect time to do it. Mercury remains in Libra until October 22^nd.

This weekend is troubling, as the Moon moves through emotional Cancer and triggers Mars square Pluto, that is exact on Sunday.  Mars square Pluto is usually about power struggles.  You will feel the need to push yourself to the next level, but Pluto often feels like the world is against you, and this can lead to deep frustration and sometimes paranoia.  Avoid acting manipulatively, or it may lead to blowback.  Also on Sunday, Venus (at long last) moves out of Leo and into Virgo.  Venus in Virgo is the perfect time to look at your relationships and see if you are getting your needs met, and if you are not, you can make changes.
