PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY October 16 2023 to October 22 2023 Monday October 16 Happy Birthday Disney! Happy Birthday Disney! 100 years of magical fantasy is worth celebrating! From the first hand-drawn movies, to the computer-generated graphics of today, this powerhouse of entertainment's extraordinary achievement is testament to its creativity and adaptability. It shows that committing to philosophies, rather than techniques, is the key to success in our ever-changing world. As Jupiter and Saturn link, it's by focusing on what we love that we can make delightful, long-lasting progress. Tuesday October 17 Giant Sandwich Fail! Many years ago today, an attempt to create the world's largest sandwich failed: people started to eat it before it could be measured! Maybe they should have changed their claim and gone for the world's largest picnic! Just because we don't achieve what we set out to achieve doesn't mean we don't attain other successes along the way. The legacy of the Solar Eclipse gifts us with creativity and inspiration. By making small adjustments, we can take steps that will improve our world in ways we can share. Wednesday October 18 Seeds of Hope Although last weekend's Solar Eclipse planted seeds of hope regarding relationships, figuring out what we want (on an individual level) and coming up with a plan is only half the work: the challenge involves discerning what the other side of the relationship wants too. That's why today's Mercury/Venus link is so important. As the planets of communication and love continue exploring each other's celestial homes, they gift us with the potential to creatively reach new understandings. Thursday October 19 Ups and Downs Why are we so interested in real-life relationship dramas? Whether it's Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, or the next-door neighbours, we're fascinated by other people's emotional ups and downs. Maybe celebrity news helps us deal with our own imperfections? When their glamorous images slip, we realise that everyone makes mistakes. With communication highlighted by the Mercury/Venus link, it's by being sensitive to other people's quirks that we can find ways to resolve misunderstandings. Friday October 20 Honesty is Key This weekend, as Mercury (communication) catches up with the Sun and moves into Scorpio, it's a chance to speak the truth and be honest about our intentions. Pluto's influence brings the courage to skilfully share secret hopes and fears in such a way that they are received with understanding. Rather than tiptoeing around delicate situations, we can find tactful ways to negotiate collaborative ways forwards. Honesty is the key to new beginnings within our current relationships. Saturday October 21 Your Weekly Horoscope Great ideas and concepts take time to develop. When research scientists announce an important discovery, they've been working, behind the scenes, for months (even years) before making it public. Similarly, although this week's cosmic climate holds huge potential for positive change, there's an air of secrecy about the potential improvements. As the Sun and Mercury enter Scorpio ahead of the Lunar Eclipse, if knowledge is to become power, it needs to be explored and developed in private.
