Forecast for Oct. 7-20
By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times
The new moon in Libra on the 7th starts the week off with a fresh start, especially for relationships and artistic pursuits. This cooperative influence also helps with negotiations because it emphasizes agreements and compromise. Speaking of romance, Venus will be retrograde from Oct. 8-Nov. 18, which can improve your relationships through the analysis of past ties. Then communications take center stage as Mercury squares serious Saturn on the 8th, conjuncts the sun on the 16th and trines imaginative Neptune on the 18th. The sun-Neptune trine on the 19th can also heighten your imagination. When Mercury transits into Scorpio on the 20th, communications take on a penetrating, secretive or mystical vibe. Finally, the Mars-Jupiter trine on the 20th favors taking action on goals pertaining to culture, travel, education or spirituality.
