~Summoning Disgruntled Optimism~

Moon in Scorpio   ***

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week begins at 8:23a PT | 11:23a ET | 4:23p UT (until Saturday, more than 2.5 days this time because the moon is slow)   ** |

New Moon of Scorpio occurs at 9:48a PT | 12:48p ET | 5:48p UT

About the most cogent thing I can say is that I really don't feel like writing this.

And I think a lot of us are feeling rather "out of it." 

We go through the motions because we have to. A friend suggests it has to do with the yod with Uranus in Aries at focus, with Jupiter on one side and Mercury-sun on the other quincunx to it. Yes, no doubt, and yet that could be challenging, exciting, or thrilling, and I don't feel much of that at all. 

Partly it's the waning moon. The last days before a New Moon always have the Part of Fortune in the 12th sector of "imprisonment" or seclusion and we might feel imprisoned as it were. This time both sun and moon are in Scorpio, not a bad sign but for most of us a time of challenge. (To me it feels like a cocoon. Maybe the butterfly will emerge by Thanksgiving when the sun enters Sagittarius.) Plus, Today, Wednesday, the |difficult third| of this week begins (moon approaching a conjunction with Saturn by a large orb which I have definitely found to be significant and determines the |difficult third|).

But signals continue to look good for research, business or financial strategy and health regimens. (I did not say surgery, which I would generally avoid during any |difficult third| of the week if possible.) 

Sitting in a secluded spot and figuring out your money and business possibilities could be one of the best things to do. Virgo the sign of service and Scorpio that of, sometimes, sacrifice suggest we should try to be a little selfless. (What is "a little selfless"? A noble gesture at any rate.)

It's nice to have Venus in Libra; we feel more social; but her major aspect, a growing and close sextile with Saturn, can be boring. "Oh, it's okay, everything is fine, but is this all there is?" You are with a relative or an old friend and feel "We've said and done all this before; is that all there is?" But it's comfortable at least.

We should be able to get up a little more courage and optimism than we had Tuesday because we have a New Moon, plus Luna is forming sextiles with Jupiter and Mars. I don't feel like a cheerleader, but "success" of some sort may be peeping around the corner if not jumping into your lap.
