PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY October 21 2019 to October 27 2019 Monday October 21 Water Music More Sally Fisher Art here. We talked recently about how a sense of pragmatism was keeping check on any hearts that were starting to swell and swoon. It's a good thing too as, with Venus and Neptune's link peaking today, there's potential for emotions to roll over us like tidal waves. Fortunately, although Saturn's presence won't provide impenetrable flood defences, it allows us to surf the surge and keep our heads above water. We can afford to dive in and immerse ourselves in feelings. We just can't stray too far from the shore! Tuesday October 22 Take a Chance on Mercury More Sally Fisher Art here. As Mercury slows towards turning retrograde, I'll address a question I received the last time the planet of commerce and communication turned backwards: 'Is it wise to start a new job when Mercury is retrograde?' Perhaps it would be better to ask whether it would be wise to avoid a potentially positive career move just because Mercury is moving in reverse. As hockey legend Wayne Gretzky said, 'you miss 100% of the shots you don't take'! There will be challenges, but not insurmountable ones. Wednesday October 23 In the Shadows More Sally Fisher Art here. The Sun enters Scorpio today and we're turning into a dark alley. Not a blind alley mind. Nor one in which ghosts and gremlins lurk. But certainly a path that's a mile a way from the exposure of the public highway. Yet just because the light doesn't reach all its corners, that doesn't mean the path we tread is filled with fear and foreboding. Life gets more exciting when the sun goes down - plus everyone looks better in candlelight! And the beguiling shadows now being cast will be far reaching. Thursday October 24 The Right Direction More Sally Fisher Art here. Dear Oscar, Why do I feel as if this whole year has been one looong Mercury retrograde? Talk about one step forward and three back! Yours Karen. Dear Karen, I know what you mean Karen! But I've a feeling that, during its next retrogradation, Mercury's spectacular transit across the Sun in November brings the perfect opportunity to address this. Much of the progress made since it's last transit (in 2016) seems to have been in the 'wrong' direction. The final move in this pairing could be the 'factory reset' that so many of us crave. Best Oscar. Friday October 25 Barrier Relief More Sally Fisher Art here. Venus and Pluto enter an encouraging relationship. Its powerfully persuasive and seductively secret nature will encourage us to appreciate the darker side of our personalities, and acknowledge long buried emotions. With the planet of harmony and kindness involved, there's no room for acting out past hurts in a way that could cause anyone pain. And with the Sun and Mars linking constructively with Saturn at the weekend, the barriers standing between us and our desires come tumbling down. Saturday October 26 Your Week Ahead More Sally Fisher Art here. With Mercury turning retrograde later this week, we'd expect to experience communication challenges; it heralds a time for renegotiation, and analysis of where things have gone wrong. But the planet of communication's link with Venus suggests that even if agreement is hard to find, easier paths towards peaceful resolutions can be initiated. The New Moon opposite Uranus suggests the emergence of new, brilliant and innovative ideas. As long as we act considerately, there are pleasantly positive surprises ahead.
