ASTROLOGY IN BRIEF

 

Sun and Mercury conjunct in Libra today/tomorrow (1st & 2nd) make tentative challenges to Mars/Cancer as it trawls to highlight poor compromise or faulty agreements doomed to fail by the end of October. Venus/Scorpio dives deep beneath while the disputes and unrest struggle to attain balance, and Jupiter/Gemini begins to slow to retrograde next week, ceasing to bridge the gulfs and divides at the root of problems. By the middle of the month the key phrases may be, ‘better out than in’ or ‘cut the dead wood’ as Mercury enters Scorpio and Venus opposes Uranus.
