(Finally — a practical astrology forecast that EVERYONE can use, regardless of their Sign! Make sure you bookmark this page and come back — it could be the most useful thing I’ve written all month!)

October sees Mercury Retrograde from the 5th to the 25th and yes, that’s going to be kind of a pain in the butt. Venus moves into Scorpio and Mars into Capricorn and our basic drives all get a little more serious. But the big news is the total Lunar Eclipse on the 8th, which involves Uranus and a Venus-Pluto square.

Oh, cut that out. It’s not that bad. I’ll have details for you closer to the event. There’s also a Solar Eclipse in the first degree of Scorpio on the 23rd, and —

Will you please stop that???

Make sure you print this off and keep a copy. Once you’ve seen for yourself how powerful and useful a concept the VOC Moon really is, you’ll understand the true power of applied astrology. That time you’ll spend in the hammock while the other worker drones carry on with their little projects in a futile attempt to make their lives better? You’ll smile away and make you move at the right time and appear to win everything relatively easily and sure — if they don’t learn the power of working with the Moon, they may hate you. They may fear you. But the real story here is: you scored extra time in the hammock. Awww yeah.
