The Moon blazes into Aries this afternoon for a transit through Fire we're all likely to notice. Her first contact is a conjunction with Uranus the Trickster Revolutionary, so prepare for out-of-the-box thinking and surprising events. As the Moon touches the Aries point (0 Aries), it's a good time to check your birth chart––where and how Aries appears will suggest whether you need to watch for irritation or rage, schedule a vigorous workout, or take bold action.

Overnight Sunday looks like a time for strong dreaming, especially if dreams put you in touch with world events. The early hours of Monday bring the Moon into a challenging square with alchemical Pluto, then trines with Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius. Far-flung journeys to amazing places are possible, pack your wings.

Monday is also Samhain, astrologically speaking, as the Sun reaches 15 Scorpio. The trines from the Moon to Mercury and Venus will also support divination, traditionally strong at this hinge of the year. If you haven't asked for guidance this Samhain season, this is the day.

Be aware, though, that questions asked could receive emphatically direct answers. Mars in passionate Leo is opposite visionary Neptune today, maximizing opportunities for creative expression. The Moon and Sun will be inconjunct, an edgy angle especially telling when Aries and Scorpio meet, both signs of intensity and, yes, anger.

Monday closes with the Moon trining the North Node, suggesting whatever we learn this Samhain season will affect our life path.

Tuesday, the impetuous drive of the Aries Moon is checked by Saturn's cool counsel. A sextile with Neptune late in the day offers guidance, and possibly another night of visionary dreams. Just after midnight, the Moon trines Mars, bringing brilliance and energy to the night.

The Moon–Mars trine opens a void of course that ends when the Moon steps into calm, grounded Taurus, in the early hours of Wednesday. Moving into an opening sextile with Chiron, morning dreams might bring peace after several days of light and sparks. Where will we find ourselves after this wild ride?
