The Day of Mars in the first quarter Fireweek. Action-oriented Mars loves
Capricorn, the executive sign. Astrologers say that Mars is "exalted" in
Capricorn. This means that its energies flow powerfully and easily here.
This period, then, is excellent for taking on big tasks and seeing them
through to the finish. Neither Mars nor Capricorn is afraid of hard work. Both, in fact, need to push against obstacles to keep their muscles in shape. If you don't have a serious goal now, find one. Create your own challenges and focus your will to meet them. There is little that can not be accomplished when you are clear, committed and stick to your plan. Capricorn is a sign of authority and organization. The independent nature of Mars could lead to some difficulties with bosses, parents and institutions at this time. This is another reason to find a healthy outlet for aggressive tendencies now. Without this sense of direction, it's easier to fall into patterns of resentful rebellion against those at the top. Neither Mars nor Capricorn is noted for its sensitivity. This "toughness" helps us break through barriers while ignoring our own discomfort. However, it can also express itself as blind ambition, the kind that doesn't see (or care about) the little people we step on as we climb the ladder of success. Compassion, for yourself and others, is a good balance against the possible excesses of Mars in Capricorn.Moon in Capricorn makes a sober background for even more sobering aspects, first from Moon to planetary heavies Pluto and Uranus and later from Mercury the messenger as it joins with Sergeant Saturn in the deep sign of Scorpio. —It’s time to get serious now and acknowledge our limits under the stabilizing influence of stern Saturn. The mentally constraining Mercury-Saturn conjunction shows us the weak links in our thinking. Fortunately, the calculating Capricorn Moon helps us revise our plans. Mercury’s connection to potent Pluto motivates us to convey our deepest concerns. Although we may hesitate, it’s still useful to get our point of view out into the open. A harmony with Chiron reminds us that facing shadows can be healing. For those with a warrior spirit and/or strong Saturn in their natal chart, this can be a day of executive achievement. For all of us, it’s a good
day to remember and heal family issues before holiday get-togethers.

The Day of Mercury in Fireweek. Mercury's stay in Scorpio is prolonged this year due to its retrograde
period in this sign from October 4 until October 25. This planet of communication gets down to the depths whenever it's in Scorpio. The mind melds with emotions, descending into the body, into the past and into life's mysteries. This can be a very powerful period for talking about difficult issues regarding relationships, money and mortality. Psychological awareness is more acute now, as perceptions take us under the covers of the obvious, seeking hidden meaning and motivations. The dark side of Mercury in Scorpio is represented by the mistrusting mind, one that holds secrets and fears them at the same time. Communication becomes a means of control, rather than connection. However, seeing our fears doesn't
mean that we have to perpetuate them. The opportunities are ripe for discussing heretofore forbidden subjects, resulting in greater degrees of trust and intimacy. Early birds have it if we can use the constructive harmonies of this morning’s influences to continue healing family issues. These harmonies
also favor direct action on our own behalf or that of a wizened dear one. At 7:30 am (10:30 am ET), Moon goes VOC in Capricorn, favoring household chores and altruistic support of seniors. Hold off on important purchases or actions until Moon enters Aquarius at 11:23 am (2:23 pm ET).The veil of intensity lifts this afternoon when Venus in adventurous Sagittarius trines Uranus the liberator, inspiring original creations and opening the way for a cosmic Thanksgiving celebration, in which we can
include spiritual family, share with those in need and add our own special touch on the theme of gratitude.

The Day of Jupiter in the first quarter Fireweek. Jupiter is the largest of all the true planets, its mass greater than the rest of them combined. Astrologically, Jupiter is the planet of expansion, growth and optimism. Known as "The Greater Benefic," it symbolizes good luck and fortune. In the ancient Indian language Sanskrit Jupiter is called "guru" or teacher. This fits its association with the higher mind, philosophy, truth and religion. Perhaps Jupiter's good fortune derives from the larger perspective it provides on life in general and our own circumstances.Leo symbolizes individual expression and creativity. Jupiter's presence in this bold sign emphasizes the power of one person to make a statement that will be heard by the world. The capacity to get people to stand up and take notice is likely to be expanded during this entertaining and dramatic time. Jupiter's pursuit of meaning can be enhanced by taking personal risks and an opening of the heart, with which the sign Leo is associated. The negative side of this transit, however, can be excessive glorification of the ego. Pride in self is healthy, but boundless pride is a blinding light that darkens, rather than illuminates. This can be a time of "bread and circuses," when meaningful questions are buried in the noise of spectacle. Serious inquiry may not come easily when bombast rules the land.As the day begins, sociable Moon in Aquarius harmonizes with exciting Uranus and romantic Venus. Share Thanksgiving preparations or altruistic endeavors with friends. A brunch outing can lead to new connections and even romance. This afternoon, refrain from getting ticked off or snappy with relatives, a strategy that will be easier tonight when Mercury enters
Sagittarius and mirth gets the upper hand.
