PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY October 28 2024 to November 3 2024 Monday October 28 Celestial Archer Today, Mars and Neptune align in a new Celestial Archer. The relationship they form with this week's Mercury-Uranus opposition suggests that imagination is key to understanding how to change tricky situations. With the Sun in a tense relationship with Jupiter, it all comes down to questioning ideologies that no longer seem fit for purpose. Sometimes, we get so attached to our ideas that we forget to check whether they're still viable. By keeping open-minded we can make effective adjustments. Tuesday October 29 Build Up Today, power planet Mars links with Saturn and Venus at the tip of a 'Finger of The World'. This alignment reminds us that even if we don't seem to be making progress, our efforts are worthwhile. Think of a dam holding back rainwater. The water exerts force against its walls, searching for cracks. And the dam needs to hold firm, while allowing some of its contents to escape to prevent overloading. Like hydro-electric power, we can gain valuable energy from tense situations. Wednesday October 30 Muhammad Ali Fifty years ago today, Muhammad Ali regained his crown from undefeated heavyweight champion George Foreman. Heavy-hitting Foreman's superior size made him the favourite. But clever tactics from Ali allowed him to withstand his opponent's power. He demonstrated how a 'knockout' idea can triumph over strength. As Mercury moves opposite Uranus, if we combine brains and brawn, we can instigate breakthroughs in our lives. With an imaginative approach, we can beat the odds. Thursday October 31 Happy Halloween! Happy Halloween! Tonight, as the Moon disappears for the spookiest night of the year, we'll have appropriately dark skies for ghouls and ghosts to roam the streets. But darkness doesn't need to be scary. It's the perfect backdrop to show the beauty and power of light. Diwali, the Hindu celebration of light's victory over darkness, and knowledge's triumph over ignorance, also begins tonight. So, in the Dark of the Moon, hidden strengths will power us forwards in delightful ways. Friday November 1 Poker Face The word 'poker' was first used to describe a Mississippi River game 90 years ago today. It's good timing, because this weekend, the cosmos encourages us to talk about issues we've been keeping close to our chests! As Mercury (communication), enters mutual reception with lucky Jupiter, if we find the courage to express our innermost desires, we'll realise we've been dealt winning hands that can be used to deepen connections with people we love.
