That day, in short
Morning06:23
Two planets in an exact tense aspect: everyone has a short fuse. Better not to have it out with anyone today.
Afternoonuntil 18:00
A quiet sky this afternoon: nothing gets in the way, sit down to the long piece of work.
Eveningafter 18:00
A quiet sky this evening: whatever you agree on now will hold.
Worth doing
Start the thing you keep putting off.
Moon in Aquarius: you look at your own life as if it were someone else's, closeness tires you quickly.
Buy the boring thing you actually need.
The Moon is waxing: what you start now is easier to finish.
Go to the place you never get around to.
Better left
Having it out with anyone.
Pushing on through exhaustion.
A conjunction with Mars, Saturn or Pluto: everything takes effort.
Filling the free hour with errands.
Lunar day
8A chest, a phoenix
The old asks to be remade: the things, and your view of them.
Favourable: Dig out the backlog. Admit a mistake.
Avoid: Pretending everything is fine.
Approximate: counted from midnight in your time zone.
Universal day
1A day of the first step
The weight of the date falls on the start: what gets going today runs on by itself, bad ideas included.
Advice: Set one thing going, not three.
One number for everyone: it describes the date, not you.
Void of course
None that day
Next: 17 Nov, –
Between its last exact aspect and the change of sign the Moon settles nothing. A pause, not a bad hour.

There is more energy today than there are tasks, which is its own problem.
The time is when the aspect is exact.

Mercury
Next period —
Three weeks of Mercury moving backwards: messages go astray, meetings get muddled, agreements need confirming again.
Reread the message. Ask again what time the meeting is.
Venus
Next period —
Six weeks of Venus moving backwards: people you had parted from come back, and a big purchase stops pleasing you within days.
Finish the old conversation. Put the purchase off.
Mars
Next period —
Two months of Mars moving backwards: work stalls, and pushing harder produces irritation instead of results.
Finish what is started. Open nothing new for now.
Jupiter
Next period —
Four months of Jupiter moving backwards: the growth you counted on is postponed, and what you took on costs more than it looked.
Add up what the thing you already started costs.
Saturn
Current period —
Four and a half months of Saturn moving backwards: what you promised long ago and never did comes back, and your deadlines move.
Look again at one old obligation. Drop it if it is spent.
