Astrology of October 2

The moon, that speedy herald of our emotions, is in the happy and optimistic sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a member of the action oriented fire signs, so it is a good day to get things moving! Especially when the moon in Sagittarrius has joined hands with action-oriented Mars in Virgo.

Virgo is all about seeing things as they are, not as we wish they would be. So the early part of the day is about seeing what needs to be done and doing it, with skill. Your words today might offend some of the authority figures in your life who have a more conservative view. You long for something practical, something do-able in your mind, but not part of the customary way of thinking.

Authority figures may have seemed supportive of your newfangled ideas in the recent past, but can they really go there? They may know they should, but try to manipulate you in a very subtle way so that you would (hopefully, from their point of view) think it was really your idea all along.

The times they are a-changing, and the old way of being is broken. Something new has to emerge.
