Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Cancer, October 16, 2022

Moon transiting Cancer, Sunday, October 16th, heightens your emotions, sensitivity, intuition, and telepathy but blocks or confuses verbal communication between you and others, which can lead to you feeling misunderstood, or puts a relationship in the “it’s complicated” zone, as the moon forms a trine aspect to Neptune in Pisces, a sextile to Uranus in Taurus, and square aspects to Mercury in Libra and the sun conjunct Venus in Libra, while Mercury opposes Jupiter retrograde in Aries, and the sun and Venus square Pluto retrograde in Capricorn. The moon, sun, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto are all in cardinal signs, which ordain, initiate, assert, and lead, but they are all under the pressure of challenging squares or oppositions, which makes it harder to claim your personal power or find a compromise with another that works for both parties. Mars in Gemini quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn, and the sun and Venus in Libra quincunx to Neptune in Pisces could cloak ulterior motives under persuasion, magnetism, charm, or feigned affection, adding tricky nuances to any interaction you may have. Planetary transits through cardinal signs usually create a desire to be right, but the moon’s supportive aspects to Uranus and Neptune color the cardinal energy with a need to be recognized and accepted as an individual. Nikola Tesla’s sun and Venus in Cancer formed a T-square with Jupiter in Aries, and the moon conjunct Mars in Libra, echoing much of today’s energy patterns. He struggled to be understood, and to receive funding, yet it did not stop him from being who he was. “I don’t care that they stole my idea . . I care that they don’t have any of their own”, is one of his most famous quotes. If you are feeling misunderstood, misused, or rejected, adopt a Tesla attitude and keep on doing you. No one can care for you as well as you can, nor can you be fully responsible for the happiness of another.
