Astrology for Thursday, 24 October 2019:

Today the Moon in Virgo makes a trine to Saturn in Capricorn. It’s time to do the work of developing our long-term plans and putting them into action. Saturn in Capricorn is invested in longevity, persistence, the endurance of legacies, and the kinds of success that we can only reach through sustained effort and devotion. The Moon in Virgo is busy with the practical details of what can be accomplished today in order to create the conditions necessary for Saturn’s long-term goals to be realizable. What steps can you take right now—however big or small—to invest in processes that will be unfolding for a long while to come? How are you defining success for yourself, and what do you need to put into place now in order to support the ongoing effort of working toward that goal? Shortly after the Moon trines Saturn, it moves into an opposition to Neptune retrograde in Pisces. Neptune draws us into the realms of dreams, fantasies, and non-ordinary reality. Neptune in Pisces is the opposite of practical, and as it comes into aspect with the Moon, we may feel the pull between our ideals—our sense of other possible worlds—and the practical work at hand. As the Moon opposes Neptune, we may be challenged to find small ways that we can be in service to our ideals, to make other possible worlds more real and tangible as the world in which we are living.
