Your horoscope from October 2 to 8, 2014

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Mercury, freshly touring Scorpio, turns retrograde on Saturday morning. If you get stalled or stymied, don’t expect to be for long. You haven’t been consulted, but the day has a plan for you. There’s a larger purpose behind everything. Fully present is the best you can be—it’s the only place worth being. Past midday, the stars pick up a better wind thanks to Mars trine Uranus. This stimulating combination puts spontaneity at its best for your Saturday evening pleasure. When it clicks, it clicks very well.

      Sunday and Monday should prove smooth-rolling, thanks to the transiting Pisces moon. Don’t fall asleep at the wheel, though: Tuesday is a whole ’nother story. The sun’s opposition to Uranus midafternoon strikes the first flint for Wednesday’s eclipse.

      The lunar eclipse in Aries occurs at 3:51 a.m. Just one hour before, the moon opposes Uranus. Whenever Uranus is involved, there’s always something or someone to shake it up, typically in an out-of-the-blue, shocking, radical, or liberating way. Uranus sets social, political, and technological trends. As the planet of revolution, contagion, terrorism, and geophysical extremes, it’s the reason the world continues on a hot brew.

      The lunar eclipse is accompanied by Mars in Sagittarius, Uranus in Aries, and Jupiter in Leo engaged in grand trine. That’s a lot of firepower to launch you on your way.

      Regarding justice-seeking, travel, moneymaking, relationships, or reinventing the wheel, there’s exceptional opportunity for the taking.

      Aries
      March 20 - April 19

      Don’t expect to sit around waiting or wondering what to do next. You’ll soon find yourself inspired, provoked, tantalized, or taken completely by surprise. While Mercury retrograde can often set you back, Saturday’s Mars/Uranus, Tuesday’s sun/Uranus, and next Wednesday’s Aries eclipse thrust pedal to the metal. A second chance, next leg, or fresh page gains tremendous momentum. Travel, new freedom, and new love are exhilarating.

      Taurus
      April 19 - May 20

      You may have a good handle on it so far, but get ready for an onslaught. Don’t rely on appearances or promises; do your research, look under the hood. As is typical of the Mercury retrograde cycle, folks or issues can resurface. Saturday could re-route you, but it could work out better that way. Tuesday/Wednesday takes you from one extreme to another. Seize opportunity.

      Gemini
      May 20 - June 21

      The weekend may not go according to expectations, but such is the nature of Mercury when it turns retrograde. You may have to drop one thing for another. Conversations, choices, or plans have a life of their own. A problem or dilemma could solve itself. Tuesday/Wednesday strikes great social, romantic, or moneymaking flint. The eclipse can also prompt a parting, departure, or reappearance.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      A lover, a child, or an agent of change now makes a deeper impact on choices. Mercury in Scorpio underscores the karmic replay nature of this relationship or circumstance. What’s budding, brewing, or nagging is about to hit a rapid-fire track. The eclipse can deliver something abrupt and unexpected that requires an immediate response. Life offers you a great second chance. Take it.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 22

      As of Saturday, you are wise to revise, repeat, revisit, restate, reclaim, or renovate. The backup plan is likely to be your best option. Go over it again and you could spot a better solution, answer, or price. Tuesday/Wednesday can take you by surprise. Watch for fresh opportunity, big news, a saving grace, a great brainstorm, or a reason to hit the gas pedal.

      Virgo
      August 22 - September 22

      Whether it’s a rethink, another look-see, or a second chance, Mercury retrograde shifts it for you in some significant way. There’s opportunity to make a better impression, negotiate a better deal, nip it in the bud, or pick up where you left off. Tuesday/Wednesday can thrust you into the uncharted or the costly. Impulsiveness could overtake you. Courage is called for.

      Libra
      September 22 - October 23

      Mercury’s retrograde start could blow your budget or plans, but there’s likely a great reason for it. Karmic or actual, there’s a contract to rewrite. Tuesday/Wednesday, the eclipse throws the action switch in some striking way. There’s a fresh battle to face, but whether chosen or heaped on you, it’s a lucrative one to take on: it’s your all-access pass to the future.

      Scorpio
      October 23 - November 22

      You’ve made great headway since Mercury’s recent dip into Scorpio. As of Saturday, when the retrograde cycle begins, a temporary pullback or regroup is wise and perhaps necessary. Create a space or an opening and it will immediately be filled. Another target, project, or fight will now overtake you. Tuesday onward, it’s break-through, bust-loose, all-in-or-all-out time.

      Sagittarius
      November 22 - December 21

      Simmer switches to full brew once Mercury turns retrograde on Saturday. On the ice, between the sheets, or watching the action, a sports night hits it just right. Mars in Sagittarius keeps you flying high and loving it during the next week. It’s an excellent time to get the show on the road. Tuesday and Wednesday are exceptional, strike-gold days.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 19

      On Saturday, just as you think you’re finished or have it sorted out, there’s something more to add, pursue, or intrigue you. Buy it, do it, enjoy it. You can ease along Sunday/Monday, but by Tuesday/Wednesday, it’s slamming. You’ll hit all systems go and full steam ahead. Timing is everything. Jump on it fast—you’ll be glad you did.

      Aquarius
      January 19 - February 18

      The brakes come off, the remaining doubt or hesitation is removed as of Saturday, when Mercury switches to retrograde. From here, it’s full steam ahead. Endings, beginnings—a key someone could set major wheels in motion. Tuesday’s news, meet-up, stroke of luck, or hot iron fast-tracks you. Wednesday’s lunar eclipse is a game-changer.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 20

      Mercury retrograde brings an ideal time to revisit faces and places, rekindle a passion, retrace steps, or build upon a previous success. Mars, Uranus, Jupiter, and next week’s eclipse will fire it up for you in some striking, perhaps surprising way. It’s an excellent time to travel, branch out, or seek greener pastures.
