Caution lights. A positive ringer, Moon conjunct optimistic Jupiter, exact at 7:29 am PDT, opens the door to good vibes this morning. But the door closes shut a minute later as Luna turns Void of Course until she enters dependable Capricorn at 7:38 pm Thursday night. More difficult is that tricky Mercury turns Retrograde at 8:42 am. Problems with communications and transportation are all more likely over the next 20 days. Delays, mix-ups, and folks saying things they wish they hadn’t are also more likely until Mercury turns direct in motion on November 20. Trick or treaters need to be careful in high traffic neighborhoods and with what goes into their bags of goodies as this Rx cycle is in Scorpio, which sometimes brings the creeps out who want to hurt people. I hate to say that but better safe than sorry tonight. As times change.

Last Chance. Green lights are up today, and you are advised to get your desk in order, and the important details handled as a confusing Mercury Retrograde cycle begins tomorrow. The good news in the Skywatch today is the meeting, conjunction, of articulate Mercury and conciliatory Venus, exact at 3:04 pm PDT. Here’s a splendid moment to make an important call or to ask a favor. One foggy note shows up when the Moon squares dreamy Neptune at 6:50 pm. Let this one expire before you order your pizza. Evening hours are upbeat as Luna sextiles Mars at 9:10 pm, but remember Mercury is stationing tonight and things might not be what they seem. As times change.

Tackle the hard jobs first thing. Good vibes are in the air this morning as the Moon meets agreeable Venus in the heavens at 8:14 am PDT. Speak up as the Moon conjuncts articulate Mercury at 10:34 am. Caution lights kick on a minute later as Luna then turns Void of Course until she enters optimistic Sagittarius at 2:58 pm Tuesday afternoon. Green lights come on at this moment as the Skywatch clears. Evening hours are friendly — reach out. As times change.

Astrological skies are still a bit tense this morning from Sunday’s big square and the New Moon setting up opposite rebellious Uranus. But the rest of Monday’s Skywatch is good, and this is a very good day to get the important details on your desk completed as we have another Mercury Retrograde cycle beginning this Thursday. The Moon sextiles dependable Saturn at 2:19 pm and then trines creative Neptune at 3:52 pm Monday afternoon. Evening hours are good for long talks and working on the budget as the Moon in passionate Scorpio sextiles ruler Pluto at 11:32 pm. As times change.

Caution lights are up on Sunday. The Moon sextiles Jupiter at 1:22 am PDT early Sunday morning but then turns Void of Course until she enters Scorpio at 1:29 pm. In this window of time, impulsive Mars lines up in a square to selfish Saturn at 7:30 am. Frustration of some kind is likely with this pair, as well as accidents and challenges. The Moon conjuncts the Sun, creating a New Moon at 8:38 pm but the Skywatch remains unsettled as Luna then opposes jumpy Uranus at 8:58 pm. The Sun also opposes unpredictable Uranus at 1:14 am early Monday morning. Best to play it safe and simple Sunday night. As times change.
