<--- videoNow that Mercury has entered Scorpio, the sign that likes to delve into our curiosities, it is making angles to both Mars and Jupiter today. The Mercury/Mars angle will get us into position to move ahead with our dreams, but with it, we may feel as though other people may not approve of what we want to do. With the 72-degree angle to Jupiter, we may experience a daydream or inspiration that will show us a way to grow – to take ourselves beyond our everyday routine for a bit so we can develop additional confidence to enter territories we had not yet considered. Whatever intellectual and communicative capabilities are enhanced today will be further improved by the Moon’s travels through the Mercury-ruled sign Gemini.
The Word of the Day is UNWAVERING. We could stand our ground better today, knowing that someone or something may attempt to dissuade us from our paths.
The Color of the Day is DAISY. (It’s light yellow.) Grab independent strength, by wearing something in the color of the delicate daisy today.
<--- videoMercury, our planet of intellect and communication, is going to stimulate our thoughts into realizations. First of all, it’s going to be at square angles to Mars and Pluto today. This will empower us to talk about what we want. Again, we may experience a daydream or inspiration that will cultivate a new path – to give us direction and assurance that our insights will guide us down the correct trail. We can rely on our own strength and self-confidence to try new things. People will be inclined to charge ahead, and they’ll do it in an intense way, but they may be met with disapproval. We may have to step back and figure out how to manipulate a situation so we can be most successful.
The Word of the Day is IMPULSE. Dreams and ideas provoke action today. We get the ball rolling, creating spark and building momentum to get things done.
The Color of the Day is MAYA BLUE. (It’s slightly lighter than true blue.) Clarity of thought is important today as we are inclined to act impetuously. If we wear Maya blue, we’ll be more able to coordinate ideas with action.
<--- videoToday Venus begins its retrograde motion until November 13. During this next month and a half we will be reflecting on things we have brought into our lives and relationships that we began during the direct period (from September, 2023 until now). We will be evaluating the worth of having these things and people in our lives. The usefulness of Venus retrograde is that we will have clarity of mind to rid ourselves of things we’ve taken on that hold us back or render us stale. Additionally, if a romance begins during the retrograde period, chances are that it may not work out. The Moon will begin a 31-hour void-of-course period today, which will help us recognize the steps we need to take to move ahead.
The Word of the Day is REVEAL. We will get great pleasure in knowing that the choices we’ve made are beneficial!
The Color of the Day is TEA ROSE. (It’s pink with a splash of yellow.) We can better attract the warm feelings of love by wearing the color tea rose today!
<--- videoThe Sun is in opposition to Saturn. This will give the next couple of days a serious quality and an intonation of struggle, responsibility, duty, and respect. Today would have been a day to make resolutions and a day that we vow to keep them, but our promises might be thwarted because Venus went retrograde yesterday, muddling our romantic thoughts for a day or two, and the Moon is finishing up a very long void-of-course period. We could use today to think of new approaches to the way we live. The Moon will void-of-course in the water sign Cancer, which will create a perfect opportunity to express compassion in a different manner in order to get around obstacles that might be blocking our relationships.
The Word of the Day is CONCERN. Today we act in response to our emotions.
The Color of the Day is MILK WHITE. (It’s the color of whole milk.) Call the purity of our feelings to ourselves today, wearing the color milk white.
<--- videoWhen planning our workweek, we should take note that the Moon will be void-of-course, taking the better part of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This will disrupt our schedules. But for today, the Moon will be in the bright, entertaining, sign Leo, which is the only sign that is ruled by the Sun. The forces of Leo give us strength, stamina, and ability to control situations that we would otherwise not consider getting involved with. Over the two and a half days per month that the Moon is in Leo, we take bold action and show things of ourselves that we might otherwise not. We should take advantage by demonstrating what we can do, being proud of it, and by having fun!
The Word of the Day is SYNCHRONIZE. Gather our energies together to work in harmony and accomplishment today.
The Color of the Day is GOLDFISH. (It’s orange.) Feel like we’re going with the flow of engaging interactions today, wearing the color of goldfish.
<--- videoMercury and retrograde Venus will travel together in the sign Scorpio for most of the day. (This conjunction will be quite bright just after sunset, near the horizon in the west, this evening.) The influence of this connection is to bring our communications and relationships together. People want to talk about the things they like; they want to discuss the people and things that they are connected to; and they want to formulate pleasurable plans. No matter what we arrange, there may be a snag or two we have to deal with because the Moon will be void-of-course for most of the day. But since it will be in the sign Leo, we’ll feel confident in veering away from what we had intended to do.
The Word of the Day is IMPRESSION. The way people perceive our moods can be in a positive, optimistic, manner today.
The Color of the Day is EGGNOG. (It’s light yellow.) Let today’s light lift our spirits even more, by wearing something in the color of eggnog.
<--- videoFor most of us the Moon will be void-of-course beginning today and throughout tomorrow. When the Moon enters a sign, which happens every 2 and a half days, it makes angles to the other planets. After the last aspect has taken effect and the Moon can make no more angles in that sign, it is said to be void-of-course. When the Moon entered Virgo, it made all of its angles early-on so we ended up with a longer void-of-course period. It is best not to try to stick to a schedule rigidly when the Moon is void-of-course because we like to explore things we may have missed. An extended period of time like this (at 37 hours) very rarely occurs.
The Word of the Day is WANDER. Meander away from schedules and other pressing agendas to explore curiosities to best enjoy this day.
The Color of the Day is BERYL. (It’s yellowish green.) Feel the strength of inspiration and analysis today wearing the color of the gemstone beryl.
<--- videoThe presiding influences for the day come from the planet Mercury. First of all, Mercury will be making an angle to Saturn, the planet that controls how we think about our obligations. This aspect causes us to ponder and dwell on things we may have not gotten done or duties we haven’t fulfilled. The other effect is that the Moon is void-of-course in the Mercury-ruled sign Virgo today. We are going to question ourselves. How do we best analyze things? Will there be a different way of figuring things out that will benefit us, and make our work just that much more efficient? We can capitalize on getting answers. Insights and ideas may pop up as we stray from our normal routines.
The Word of the Day is COMPREHEND. We realize that understanding is a key to success.
The Color of the Day is ECRU. (It’s a greenish brown.) If we wear ecru we will be able to speak more thoughtfully.
<--- videoIt might be challenging to keep the mood light, because of the ongoing angle between Mercury and Saturn that will lead our thoughts and conversations to the serious side. This will activate our minds. Our communications will be responsibility oriented. We’ll be optimistic in our attempts to create harmony within relationships because of the Moon’s transit through the friendly and sociable sign Libra. Moods will be a bit more balanced today. Mercury’s position is also affiliated with the star Acrux, which concentrates on igniting potential and the achievement of success. One more thing is that Venus is approaching a square to Mars today, causing us to feel justified in telling people what we think. This will come into full effect tomorrow!
The Word of the Day is CAPTIVATE. Reach out and grab the energy of the day to uplift our spirits!
The Color of the Day is MING. (It’s blue with a touch of green.) Lift moods today by finding something in the closet to wear with the color Ming in it!
<--- videoWe will be having a New Moon in Libra today! It should give everyone a breath of fresh air. The Sun and Moon are together in the social promotion, soothing, balancing, and harmonizing sign Libra. Over the next couple of weeks we’ll become noticeably less critical about many things, and more willing to overlook imperfections. People should be getting along a lot better. We ought to use this time wisely to promote fair outcomes. After this New Moon has passed today, it might be a good time to catch up on social obligations, if recipients of rants can handle hearing controversial opinions. This is because of a Venus/Mars aspect that is in full bloom today, urging us to tell people what we think. Romantic attractions may increase!
The Word of the Day is PAIR. The New Moon in Libra encourages us to create partnerships both socially and in business.
The Color of the Day is PUMPKIN. (It’s a shade darker than true orange.) Bring out the strength of the New Moon’s effects by wearing the color pumpkin, to begin a month of social harmony.
<--- videoPluto has begun revisiting the star Altair of the constellation Aquila, the eagle, which it was connected to throughout most of 2025. Pluto likes to transform anything that isn’t working in our lives into something that is to our benefit to reconstruct. The process may be messy and is not easy to do, but in the end fits the way we want to progress. The star Altair gives us the courage to take on the project, with the knowledge that we’re doing the most just and honorable thing for ourselves and our society. It boosts our confidence and belief in our work. Now that Pluto has rejoined this association, it will take until the end of the year to begin this last phase.
The Word of the Day is STUDY. Preparing to take our next steps, we should slow down and contemplate our plans of action today.
The Color of the Day is COFFEE BEAN. (It’s rich, glossy brown.) Wearing the color coffee bean will open structured pathways for us to uncover our best goal direction.
<--- videoThe Sun energizes our day with angles to the adventurous Mars and the quirky planet Uranus! Most likely something will happen today that will give us an opportunity to advance ourselves by getting free of something that’s been detaining us from progressing with our lives. The Mars angle will alert us to better routes to take to get things done most efficiently. Also, the sextile between Neptune and Pluto that has been in effect on and off for over a year continues calling our attention to human rights. People have been striving for social change and awareness. It is a prolonged situation that requires diligence and taking cues from what has worked to solve this in the past.
The Word of the Day is UNDERCURRENT. We instinctively know today, that there’s the portal to freedom.
The Color of the Day is DUSK. (It’s dark gray.) Participate in a power move today by wearing something in the color of dusk.
<--- videoYesterday’s angles from the Sun remain in effect, energizing our day today! The Sun represents our identity and individuality. Mars shows how we spend our time, and Uranus likes to do things in a unique way. There’ll be another day of struggle to release ourselves from things that have been restraining our directions in life. Most likely something will happen that help us get away from stifling situations. We’ll be able to get through rough patches in the most expedient way and handle challenges with competence. The Moon will be void-of-course for most of the day, giving us time to give things a thorough look before proceeding. We’ll respond to significant situations with a deep level of understanding.
The Word of the Day is DELVE. Look beneath the surface of things that pique our curiosities.
The Color of the Day is CORAL RED. (It’s bright red with a hint of orange.) To get the most out of today’s planetary travels, wear something in the color coral red to stimulate the correct evaluation of information.
<--- videoSituations will seem to hold great significance today. The Sun and Jupiter are making a beautiful angle to each other that will offer us opportunities for growth and self fulfillment. This will be particularly exciting because the Moon in Sagittarius will help to rejuvenate our spirituality. This Moon sign likes to shoot for the stars! We should aim for things we thought might be out of our reach. The ongoing Sun/Mars angle will inspire us to find new and exciting ways to accomplish whatever we were hoping to achieve. We should enjoy a high level of energy and vitality. Not only that, but with Mercury’s contact with a star, we formulate ideas about social aid, politics, and law.
The Word of the Day is ELEVATE. Rebound to higher heights today!
The Color of the Day is CUMULUS. (It’s off-white.) Disperse weighted atmosphere today by wearing something in the color of the cumulus clouds.
<--- videoPluto is stopping its retrograde motion and going direct today. We will begin to recognize the major changes that need to be made in order to proceed effectively with our lives, and over the course of the next half year, we’ll make them. Then Pluto will go retrograde again, and we’ll scrutinize those alterations and transformations as we have just done. People will feel the need to find happiness in small things, and the motivation to move on. Because Pluto remains in aspect to Neptune (which is still retrograde), we’ll want to take charge of changes that need to be made. But we may have a challenge deciding what direction to take today while the Moon is void-of-course for 15 hours.
The Word of the Day is WATCHFUL. Helpful ideas might pop into our heads today.
The Color of the Day is BALTIC. (It’s very dark blue.) We’ll want to take a deep look inside before making powerful changes in our lives. Wearing the color of the Baltic Sea today will aid us in that process.
<--- videoMars and Saturn are at an angle to each other today that will give us enhanced motivation and purpose. We’ll feel as though our goals are now reachable, and as though we can see our way out of whatever’s been stifling us. We know that whatever moves we need to make will involve work, but we’ll feel good about being challenged. And we’ll take it on with pride and determination. Giving this aspect more power, the Moon will be transiting the Saturn-ruled sign Capricorn for the next couple of days, pushing us to do our best. The Sun, in connection to the star Spica today, bestows us with abilities that may well go unnoticed. It will be a day to seek out our overlooked gifts.
The Word of the Day is COLLABORATE. Gathering our energies together to work in harmony is the best way to enjoy today.
The Color of the Day is CACTUS. (It’s light green.) To bring growth and spontaneity to the day wear the color of the self-protecting cactus.
<--- videoThe Sun will be joining forces with two stars. We’ll be ambitious. Today will be a day to feel privately proud of our skills and talents, even though other people may not notice them. Over the past week, while Pluto was changing directions (optical illusion) from our point of view it appeared to not be moving. While stationary, it has been making an aspect to a star. A drive is being created within people to muster the courage to attempt to get rid of anything that they deem unfair or that is not working for them as well as it had in the past. Because Pluto is so slow in getting up to speed, this effect will last into the early part of next year.
The Word of the Day is CANDOR. We will want to be as honest with others and ourselves as we can today, so that we can see our way clearly.
The Color of the Day is OIL. (It’s glossy black.) Make choices that will most benefit our lives, by wearing something with the color of oil in it today.
<--- videoThe Moon will be void-of-course for nine hours today in Capricorn, the sign that urges us to tend to our responsibilities. To implement new projects, we may spend more time in their development than we had intended. With Mercury’s aspect to a star, our focus will be cast to the improvement of social situations. Not only that, but retrograde Venus is at an angle to Jupiter today, inspiring us to dream about the things and people we would like to have or not have in our daily lives. Venus is also at an angle to Pluto again that will push us to make those necessary changes so that we’ll eventually feel more comfortable with the things and people we relate to.
The Word of the Day is AFFINITY. By attaching our minds, desires and goals to something we like, our dreams are more within reach!
The Color of the Day is PIGLET PINK. (It’s lighter than true pink.) To ensure that we take composed action and make today’s dreams come true, wear piglet pink to attract the planetary energies.
<--- videoThe ongoing background Neptune/Pluto sextile will be activated today by retrograde Venus. We need security, and today we’ll do what we can to get it. There are people who have power over us, both personally and culturally. We’ll struggle to get out of the control that restricts our spirits and tries to suppress us. It won’t be easy to do because there may be a cloud that will fog situations, resulting in an inability to discern differences between what we perceive and what is real. But, since the Moon will be traveling through Aquarius today, the inventive energy of that sign should spark our imaginations for creative solutions. When the Moon passes by Pluto today, we’ll become even more passionate about freeing ourselves from stifling circumstances.
The Word of the Day is ASCEND. Rise above challenges with confidence in knowing that solutions are within our reach.
The Color of the Day is SWAN. (It’s feathery white.) Add softness to an otherwise brawny day by wearing something in the color of graceful swans today.
<--- videoYesterday’s dynamic aspects will still be in effect today, along with the Moon’s transit of Aquarius, which is a humanitarian sign. We will want to break down social barriers to do what we think is best for our friends, acquaintances and the general public. But Aquarius is also innovative, and with the Sun in its last few days in the sign Libra, we’ll be looking for ways to make things right in other peoples’ minds and in our own. Mercury will be going retrograde for three weeks starting on this coming Saturday and our thoughts will not be as focused on the future during that time. So, anything that will affect our prospects and the next month should be done over the next several days.
The Word of the Day is STIMULATE. We want to get as many things done today as we can to broaden the scope of our lives.
The Color of the Day is SAFFRON. (It’s dark yellow.) Feel the surge of power today by wearing the color saffron to blend today’s astrological effects.
<--- videoThe Sun will be opposite the asteroid Chiron today. The Sun represents the core of our beings. Chiron’s placement shows our sore spots. The opposition indicates that something will occur today that will cause us to address these two areas and then have to make some sort of a compromise in order to move forward. People will be easily miffed, and then someone will have to concede or make adjustments to placate the situation. Otherwise the irritation will stick with us throughout the day. Mercury has slowed to a stop and will be turning retrograde on Saturday. Throughout this week it is in contact with a star that entices us with ideas of gaining personal command through social improvements. It will be interesting to see how political action develops.
The Word of the Day is PLACATE. Our quest to make our dreams come true goes off track if we don’t recognize and validate our sore spots. Sooth rough situations today.
The Color of the Day is SEA GREEN. (It’s true green with a little bit more blue than yellow.) If we wear a bit of sea green, it will allow us to find our way more clearly today.
<--- videoThis is the last day of this year for the Sun to be in Libra, the sign that has turned our focus to creating social harmony in our lives, and during which we have directed ourselves to begin new endeavors and other forms of relationships. Tomorrow, when the Sun enters Scorpio, we will feel as though we have done what we could to take care of joint efforts over the past month and will begin to look internally for inspiration. This will perfectly set the stage for the coming month. Also, Mercury will be making a quick angle to Pluto today that we should take advantage of. It will momentarily show us a way to make a change that will benefit our goals.
The Word of the Day is CEREBRAL. We think logically before taking charge today.
The Color of the Day is CYBERPUNK BLUE. (It’s vibrant, warm blue.) If we wear cyberpunk blue, our paths may be more readily cleared.
<--- videoThe Sun will be entering Scorpio today! We will feel as though we have done what we could to promote partnerships over the past month and will now want to work more privately. Scorpio represents the “fixed” portion of the autumn season, meaning that most of its days do not exhibit characteristics of the summer or winter seasons. (It is not a time of transition.) The influence of the Sun in Scorpio allows us to delve into projects that have already begun, to see what is valuable and to get rid of what is not. Assisting this, the Sun is approaching a conjunction to retrograde Venus today, which will urge us to further evaluate the things and relationships we have attracted.
The Word of the Day is EXPECT. Feelings of attainment of personal goals and wishes course through our thoughts today.
The Color of the Day is BAT. (It’s soft, leathery black.) The force of the Sun, with its new sign Scorpio, gives us control and mystery. Wear the color of bats to attract more of that.
<--- videoMercury will be retrograde from today until November 13. This time can be extremely helpful in propelling our lives forward after its effect has passed. Mercury rules our thoughts. While it is retrograde, we narrate to ourselves about things that have happened, or things that we’ve learned. Then we file that in our memories for future retrieval. When Mercury goes direct again we have a story to tell, as something we can learn from or entertain ourselves and others with. The bad reputation that retrograde Mercury gets is because we don’t work as efficiently while our minds are overloaded. Keeping our expectations for progress low is a good idea at this time. Mercury is in aspect to Pluto, giving us opportunities to take charge of conversations.
The Word of the Day is REVOLVE. We may have to stop and consider the direction we had expected to go.
The Color of the Day is BLUE JAY. (It’s bright blue!) Wear the color of the eye-catching, blue jay today to attract stability of thought.
<--- videoWe will have a Full Moon today, with the Moon and Sun in opposing signs that make us resistant to change. The Sun in the introverted sign Scorpio, and the Moon in the materialistic sign Taurus, make us self-indulgent and attracted to things that will make us feel good. Full Moons usually make people want to finish up projects that they have been working on during the past Moon cycle. But, with this particular Full Moon, since Scorpio and Taurus don’t like to give things up, we dig our heels in, slow down and make sure that what we’ve done is to our satisfaction before we’ll consider moving on. Retrograde Venus will be slipping back into Libra today for a stay until December.
The Word of the Day is BOND. Holding on to what we want to keep in our lives is crucial today.
The Color of the Day is BEESWAX. (It’s clear white.) The translucent color of beeswax collects an array of energies. Wear some of this color today to stay strong.
<--- videoOver the past couple of days we’ve become aware that we have to make changes and then to do something about obstacles that have been preventing our progress. Prior to this, it may not have been easy to look at the things that may have been hindering us, no less take action concerning them. But, with today’s Sun square Pluto transit, we are better able to label things that have become obstructions and try and figure out how to handle them. What will detain us now is that both Mercury and Venus are retrograde and we may not want to commit to making choices that we don’t have enough information about to make a clear decision. We take our time to be sure.
The Word of the Day is IMPROVE. High caliber vision for the outcome of projects is in our minds today.
The Color of the Day is PALE TAUPE. (It’s gray that has been kissed by sun-yellow!) Changes that need to be made will be that much easier to accomplish, if we are assisted by wearing something in the color pale taupe.
<--- videoWe’ll be combing over details and trying to figure out what will be best for our future today, while Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all retrograde. Both the Sun and Mars will be connecting to Uranus, the planet that loves adventure. There may be an unexpected happening. It’s probably going to try to change the way we do a particular thing. Something has been restraining us and we’ll suddenly know what action we need to take to free ourselves. It may be uncomfortable, because we’ll have to decide whether we want to follow an uncertain path. But this will be tempered by a Mars/star affiliation which, by increasing the potency of our intuition, will notify us if we step too close to the edge. The Moon will be void-of-course for ten hours.
The Word of the Day is DISTINGUISH. Recognize the ideas that promote the best course of action to take today.
The Color of the Day is BLACKBIRD. (It’s black with a blue sheen.) Wearing the color of the common black bird today will encourage our determination.
<--- videoThere is an interesting aspect today between Mars and Neptune that may manifest itself in one of a couple of ways. It could be that when we try to do something in a particular manner, the results bewilder us. Or, we may find that if we try to do something artistic, musical, or spiritual, the results are spectacular! With yesterday’s angle to Uranus still in effect too, Mars is keeping excitement levels at their peak. This will continue to show us a way to take appropriate action to free ourselves of an uncomfortable situation. Because the Moon will be traveling through Gemini, there will be opportunities for meaningful conversation today. We listen to people who are important to us. We’ll all want to have our say.
The Word of the Day is COMMAND. Our bodies and minds work in concert to gain control and direct us on our best paths.
The Color of the Day is CARMINE. (It’s deep, dark red.) We feel a sense of power today, especially if we wear something in the color carmine!
<--- videoJupiter, one of the few planets that isn’t retrograde right now, is being aspected by both the Sun and Saturn today. Twice a year the Sun and Jupiter make an angle to each other that lasts about 24 hours. This will give us moments when we realize that we can make an adjustment in order to grow our lives the way we want to. It doesn’t have to be a big change, but we’ll get an inspiring thought about something that will make us feel more fulfilled. With the Saturn angle, our need to organize our lives becomes more apparent over the next couple of days. The combination of these two effects will help clarify our direction, while the Moon changes signs from Gemini to Cancer.
The Word of the Day is GRANDEUR. Thoughts of fantasy and dreams color our day.
The Color of the Day is LOTUS. (It’s light purple.) Raise our consciousness today by wearing the color of the flower of lore – the lotus.
<--- videoWith Pluto moving slowly in the sky, it will continue its connection to the star Altair through the next couple of months. This aspect has been in effect on and off for over a year, but has been no more powerful than it is right now. It is one that provokes us to consider how we can be daring enough to make extreme adjustments. Altair is of the constellation Aquila, “the eagle” and with this aspect to Pluto, we determine how much we can push to make our lives better. We may have to break something before we can soar. Nonetheless, the Moon will be transiting the nurturing sign Cancer today, drive will be strong, but gentle enough to tone down threats of damage.
The Word of the Day is VIGOR. If we can reach past things that might suppress us, our energy will be boosted.
The Color of the Day is TANGERINE. (It’s a light yellow-orange.) We want to get things started and use our energy appropriately. Wearing the color of tangerines will balance active energy while dampening risk.
<--- videoWe’ve needed to get our work flowing in a growth-oriented manner over the past week because we’ve had to take on more responsibilities than usual. Some of the new duties may have been our choice so that we could climb up our ladder of success, but others may have been thrust upon us. The reason for this is a Jupiter/Saturn angle that becomes exact today and will last over the next week. With a retrograde Mercury/Neptune angle in effect today, our thoughts will be interspersed with daydreams about adventurous ways to fulfill our spirits. So, it may be a bit of a challenge to keep focus and determination, an effect that will be compounded by a distracting six-hour void-of-course Moon period.
The Word of the Day is KINDLE. Keep the flame of higher awareness burning throughout the day.
The Color of the Day is SULFUR. (It’s dark yellow.) Attract the energy of the planetary movements wearing something in the color of sulfur yellow for confidence and presence.
