Today’s Astro Weather: October 18th, 2021

Mercury in Libra opposed Chiron in Aries at 2:41am PDT today, followed by Mercury’s station direct at 8:17am PDT, and tonight Mars in Libra trines newly-direct Jupiter in Aquarius at 7:36pm PDT. It may take a little while to get things moving forward in our lives again, but we are getting a good boost from that Mars/Jupiter trine. Matters of thought and communication are highlighted by the Mercury station, and we may still experience some communication hiccups, as well as some potential crankiness and friction with Mercury opposite Chiron in Mars-ruled Aries. But we also have a greater awareness of what is needed for healing and finding a path that balances independence and confidence with social connections. The past few years have taken a lot out of all of us, and we’ve wrestled with a lot of frustrations. But we’ve learned a lot in the process, and these transits suggest we are getting the opportunity to put some of that knowledge into action.

No art again today, just another photo of Mr. Kitty, this time with my coloured pencils, to reinforce hopes of getting back to the drawing board soon!
