Mini-moon and our current sky
Maybe you heard about the so-called mini-moon we're going to get for the next two months. I don't know why we're calling it that, especially since we can't see it without a telescope. But it fits. What impact will it have on you? Well it depends on whether or not you own a telescope, because I imagine if you do, you might devote time to trying to see it fly by. Generally speaking, in order for something to have an impact on us earth-dwellers, the following things matter: speed, size, and gravitational pull. *We* are exerting a gravitational pull on the mini-moon, not the other way around, so it's unlikely to impact us much. Also, it's small and fast-moving, and fast-moving things don't make a lot of "noise" in astrological terms. But, just for fun and based on nothing, feel free to blame the mini-moon for any minor incidents that befall you between now and Thanksgiving. Why not?

Our actual moon is both very pretty and usually not to blame for anything but some weird moods.
In trying to get a macro view of the sky at the moment, which means me staring into my charting software and muttering "what are you good for?" I landed on the following: talking about your feelings and getting on the same page as other people in your midst. But this type of talking is the type you do without blame, like a "here's where I'm at, just FYI." Not trying to start fights or cause a reckoning, but just to be real with yourself and others. It's not like this is your only chance ever, but it's a good sky for a reasonable conversation and not a knock-down, drag-out fight if you handle yourself with grace. At least for the next month. So that's my #1 recommendation. Get real with somebody, even if that person is just you.
I'll also give you the advice I landed on for myself: if you had plans that you would describe as recently-thwarted, don't try to force yourself back on track until after Thanksgiving. I had a summer project I was working on in earnest: I had a forward trajectory and everything. Then Saturn went retrograde mid-summer and Pluto retrograded back into Capricorn earlier this month and I felt thrown back into an old situation that I have been trying to find a way out of for a really long time. There was previously light on the horizon and I had an exit strategy and then suddenly: oops, nope, back you go. If I fight too hard I'll probably make a huge mess, so I'm trying to sit quietly until there's a possibility I might be let out again. I think I need Pluto out of Capricorn and a forward-moving Saturn, which is post-Thanksgiving. I'll take any low-hanging opportunities, but I'm not hopeful on real change until winterish. I have a countdown going. We're in the 50+ day zone. Not pleasant but doable.
