Daily Horoscope: Moon in Capricorn to Aquarius, October 13, 2021

Moon in Capricorn to Aquarius, Wednesday, October 13, intensifies the pressure of making an important decision or taking a definitive action, which can lead to a change in life plans or yield surprising results, as the moon in a serious and success oriented cardinal earth sign joins powerful Pluto in Capricorn early in the day, and Saturn in Aquarius in the early evening, while also forming a sextile aspect to idealistic Neptune in sensitive Pisces, and a trine to the destiny determining North Node in multiple choice Gemini. The tense square aspect the moon and Pluto make to Mercury retrograde, Mars, and the sun in Libra reminds me of the story of Paris, who had a reputation for making fair judgments, being told by Hermes to choose which of the three goddesses – Athena, Hera, or Aprhodite – is the fairest, as they vie for the golden apple Eris had created to cause discord among them, labeled, “For the fairest”. Each goddess offers something other than her beauty to sway Paris, and he chooses Aphrodite as the winner of the apple because she promises him marriage to the most beautiful mortal woman alive – Helen of Troy – which leads to her abduction and the beginning of the Trojan War. Any desire or goal you have now may require a decision and commitment, resulting in consequences that could make others unhappy. As the moon pulls away from the controlling and intense influence of Pluto in Capricorn, to enter freedom loving Aquarius, where it joins task master Saturn, you realize you are not really free – you now have the new work that follows your decision. However, now you are past the transformative crisis point of the moon/Pluto conjunction, and the sextile developing between the moon in Aquarius and Venus in Sagittarius ignites useful enthusiasm and ingenuity for the future.
