It may take us a day or two to shake off a recent setback or unpleasant encounter. The nurturing Cancer Moon encourages us to create a bubble of support around those we love. But it also tempts us to contract our feelings to protect ourselves and others. Thankfully, a sensible Mercury-Saturn sextile stabilizes our thoughts. Instead of letting our internal struggle manifest fearful behavior, we can choose to logically explore all our options.

You take your responsibilities quite seriously today. You feel empowered with the authority you need to lay down the law as taskmaster Saturn offers a helping hand to messenger Mercury. However, it’s smarter to lead by example rather than by demanding obedience. In the long run, you will accomplish more if you inspire others rather than impress them. Motivational speaker Brad Montague said, “Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody.”

It is the day after my birthday and I spent the whole day in bed. It looks like much the same for this day as my inflammation seems to have risen a lot. I do want to feel better because I am just so sick. I have no energy to do anything more than sit at my desk and watch movies or sleep.

Peter keeps hounding me for being at my desk apparently doing nothing. I don’t blame him at all but I can’t stand his yelling that I don’t love him because I won’t sleep with him. It freaks me out to even think that his implications may be well grounded from his point of view but so horribly wrong. I love him with all of my heart and life but I can’t sleep laying down. I have to sit up to breathe or my lungs get plugged off with mucous in my throat. Ergo, the problem.

My problem is the only problem in my perfect retired senior life. Nothing seems to be a trouble unless I mention the money we spend on food and stuff. I know Peter withdrew another five thousand dollars from his dwindling savings. We are having a great time, but for how long? I have no idea of how things are going other than that I am getting sicker as time passes. So, as it proceeds.

The atmosphere today as rational Mercury opposes radical Uranus, shaking our intellectual foundations. We may seek certainty by turning our thoughts inward, but an imaginative Mercury-Neptune alignment only confuses us more. Luckily, the Moon’s shift into picky Virgo at 7:18 am EDT gives us tools to separate the facts from fantasies. Integrating unexpected events is easier once we know the truth and commit to a practical course.

You are preoccupied by an imbalance in relationship dynamics if someone suddenly behaves out of character today. You assume their unexplainable actions are symptomatic of an unexpressed issue, but you don’t yet know the details. In absence of the facts, your mind is likely to run wild now, filling in the picture with your own fears. Unfortunately, your thoughts could spin out of control unless you nip the problem in the bud. You cannot change what you refuse to confront.

It is the middle of the month of October already, There is a decided change in the climate and the weather. It isn’t very warm and I have trouble with a rising level of inflammation in my system. I feel weak and sick all of the time. I do have a relentless UTI back again and that is painful and comes with frequent urinating with difficulty. I don’t know if I will get anything because there is nothing wrong according to the lab tests and the doctor. Maybe I will have to resort to going to Emergency at the General Hospital for any help.

Seeking balance becomes even more important when our emotions are extreme. There seems to be no middle ground while mental Mercury rendezvous with excessive Jupiter in passionate Scorpio. Although we may compulsively talk about our feelings, our main agenda is to get them out into the open. Meanwhile, the diplomatic Libra Moon alleviates some of the pressure by allowing us to maintain multiple perspectives on a stressful set of circumstances.

You say what you mean today, and you surely mean what you say. Verbose Mercury converses with opinionated Jupiter in your 2nd House of Values, urging you to talk about your fundamental beliefs. Although you’re not necessarily trying to sell your point of view, you’re also not interested in adopting anyone else’s. Unfortunately, others could quickly become defensive when facing your rigid attitude and extreme enthusiasm. Lead by example instead of wasting time on artful persuasion. Martin Luther King Jr. taught, “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

Who would believe humanity is so governed by patterns that simple astrology could sway actions with such amazing accuracy. Nay sayers can deny any of the allegations incriminating astrology, numerology and other such sciences to whatever extent they wish. The trouble is that too often there are the proven facts supporting the use of patterns to determine physical and real courses of action. Enough said about any of the multitude of patterns which humanity lives by.

I was awakened at about 4:00 am to rise up and awaken Jessica. It is a big help to make sure Jessica gets up to go to work. It seems to be a trouble for Jessica to get up to go to work. So, with a little help, things go smoothly and Jessica gets off to work on time to catch a forty five minute bus ride. I was happy to lock the door after Jessica.

Peter has had very good luck with his electric wheelchair. The electric wheelchairs have six wheels, two big main power wheels and four outrider wheels. The outrider wheels take most of the beating on bumps, curbcuts, and rough pavement or sidewalks. The four outrider wheels on Peter’s electric wheelchair had pieces chipped off the solid rubber tires. There was also a bent fork that needed replacing. The total cost was about three hundred and fifty dollars for work done in about two hours.
