Astrological Overview: October 4 - 10, 2021

Astrologer Pam Younghans writes this weekly astrological journal based on planetary influences, and offers perspectives and insights to assist you in making the best use of current energies. This column is not intended as prediction. Your own experience will be more specifically defined by transits to your personal chart.

MON: Sun trine Ceres
TUE: Mercury quincunx Neptune

This proximity of other planets – and Mars, especially – affects how we interpret the effects of this lunation, and how we understand the unfolding of the next few weeks.

Some of the areas within Libra's domain are the law and litigation, as ideally these forms are meant to ensure fairness and order.

WITH WARRIOR MARS conjunct this week's New Moon, the more assertive side of Libra is engaged, the part that fights for a just cause and for equal rights under the law. This means we are likely to see...
