October 10 - 13
Mercury, Venus Conjunction (in Libra) ~ Open a new conversation
Mercury, the planet of the mind, and Venus, the planet of relationship, come together in Libra from October 10th to 13th, 2024.
These two planetary friends are at opposite ends of Libra and in different nakshatras, with Mercury in Chittra and Venus in Vishakha, but together still carry great promise. This short transit is excellent for harmonious speech and smoothing over difficulties in relationships, especially placed in the sign of peace and diplomacy. Your natural charm is a hit and you can find the right words for every situation, and also take the initiative and reach out to people who appreciate someone who brings them together.
You love to flirt under this transit, but make sure your intentions are clear, as someone may take your friendly attitude too much to heart. Media work and public relations go well, where you can talk yourself up and present a smart image. This is also an excellent time to sell and do business. You may benefit from good chemistry with a work colleague or make an impression on an influential person.
You are in a forgiving mood and can get past crosswords, or intercede in a dispute on somebody else’s behalf, either at work or closer to home. People feel relaxed in your company and listen to whatever you are proposing. Channel your dramatic flair into creative writing, along with any craft or handiwork that uses an artistic touch. You can work with fine materials, produce excellent work and give yourself useful therapy in the process.
October 17 - 29
Mercury, Sun conjunction (in Libra) ~ Make a balanced decision
Mercury, the planet of the mind, is conjunct with the light-giving Sun in Libra from October 17th to 29th 2024.
Both these planets keep their integrity through this transit as they remain a distance apart, with Mercury beginning in Swati and moving into Vishakha on October 22nd and the Sun moving from Chittra into Swati on October 23rd. Sun and Mercury are planetary enemies, and Libra is also the Sun’s debilitation sign, so decision-making is the big issue at this point.
You may be torn between two equally attractive options and feel spread too thinly over a wide area. Sun and Mercury also create Budhaditya Yoga, however, a combination for study, speech, and business, which sees you finding creative solutions and ways to strike a commercial deal. This is a good time for educational credentials and you can present yourself as an all-round learned and cultured person.
The Sun sheds symbolic light and inspiration on a matter that has been confused or obscured, and you find a way to move forward. You take pride in your intelligence and may have your ego wrapped up in a novel idea or theme, where you can initiate a conversation and make things happen. Mercury gives you a rational and cool-headed quality where you can weigh an offer’s strengths and weaknesses, and do equal justice to both sides.
The Full Moon of October 17th sees you in an impulsive mood, where you bring a detachment into your work to remain above your emotions and do the right thing. You combine charm with impartiality and use your gift for diplomacy to mediate a dispute or intercede for a friend in a romantic affair.
October 30 - November 6
Mercury, Venus Conjunction (in Scorpio) ~ Speak sweetly and keep a secret
Mercury, the planet of the mind, and Venus, the planet of relationship, come together in Scorpio from October 30th to November 6th, 2024.
These two planetary friends are at opposite ends of Scorpio and in different nakshatras through this transit, with Mercury beginning in Vishakha and Venus in Jyesthta, but together they still carry great promise. Your speech is harmonious and charming, and you can intercede in a dispute both for yourself and others, where you are the voice of reason in a tense moment who knows exactly what to say.
You are naturally secretive and can be super-discrete, which may endear you to a friend who needs to vent or confide. This quality also lends you a kind of magnetism, where you give an attractive and mysterious impression to somebody who wants to know more about you. For sure you love to flirt, but make sure you are not misunderstood, as some people may read too much into your friendly attitude. In Scorpio, your views are also fixed to the point of stubbornness, and it may become emotional when you are called upon to forgive and come to a compromise.
Mercury and Venus both receive the effect of cool Saturn through this transit, which gives you a serious intent when you reach out to do deals and make contacts. This is an excellent time to come to a long-term agreement and strike a balance between work and leisure. You can also channel your natural intensity into writing, along with any craft or handiwork that uses an artistic touch. You enjoy every step of the creative process and can produce solid results.
