You could be diving into the swampy depths throughout much of today. The Cancer moon provides an emotional lubricant to a multitude of issues that are stuck beneath the surface. You could be far more psychic these days, but with today’s square aspects, it might be difficult to tell your emotions from someone else’s feelings projected onto you.
Many people are running on high. Even the most detached personalities are unable to really pull away all that easily, and the lunar position in Cancer isn’t holding back at all. In fact, many of us could feel like we’re reduced to a puddle of vulnerability.
The current transits ask for everyone to have faith and see clearly through the darkness. Many would even deem this a time when one enters their “dark night of the soul,” an experience meant to strengthen the soul from the inside out. This could also present a multitude of challenges in every aspect of your life. No stone will be left unturned, but it’s all for a greater purpose.
Make sure that you pay close attention to your health. Check in with loved ones—even keep a gratitude list—to help you see that you’re making exponential progress on a daily basis.
Friction can create frustration at any moment. The sensitive Moon squares communicative Mercury, potentially inciting a war between our heads and our hearts. The confident Sun then clashes with intuitive Neptune at 11:39 am EDT — we may see this create overly idealistic visions of the future. Grandiosity could lead to disappointment if we don’t consciously manage our expectations. Finally, the Moon squares wounded healer Chiron, evoking more inner restlessness and frustration. It’s okay to take a deep breath and try again later.

DAILY ANIMAL SPIRIT
33 | Horse spirit | Freedom is yours.
When Horse Spirit appears, you are gifted with the spirit of movement and freedom. It is a time for travel and adventure, whether that means a trip somewhere or taking a different type of journey, one of freedom of choice.
Horse Spirit reminds you that no matter the circumstances, you have free will and choices that can take you far away to a better place, a better situation, a better state of being, for there is no one but you to rein in your will to make a different decision. You are capable of making powerful choices that will affect you for a long time to come.
Horses are social animals and known to be a friend to mankind, willing to carry us forward when we need it. Horse Spirit reminds you that help will be available to you whenever you need it and companions will be by your side wherever you choose to go, whatever direction you choose to travel. Life is an adventure, and Horse Spirit wants you to know that whatever choices you make, you have Great Spirit within, invisible yet holding you up and always walking by your side.
If your inquiry is about a relationship, you can set your heart free to experience love in all forms. Spirit whispers to you that the gift of freedom is yours if you allow yourself to break out of your perfectionism and stubbornness. Make a move and enjoy the freedom of letting go of the need to control.
DAILY ORACLE CARD
XI | JUSTICE
The Justice Tarot card relates to karmic justice, legal matters, and cause and effect. In a general context, Justice is showing you that all actions have consequences. So look at your present circumstances in that context, how have your own actions contributed to where you find yourself today? Are there any karmic lessons that you should be learning from your current situation? This Major Arcana card is also a signifier of legal matters being resolved in a fair and balanced matter. This is usually a favorable omen if you are involved in a legal dispute. Justice is concerned with truth and integrity, so you may find yourself compelled to speak the truth, and you more than ever value honesty and integrity in others. Justice also relates to balance. It may signify that circumstances may arise that could throw you off balance. These circumstances may or may not be beyond your control or of your own making. Either way, you must try to keep yourself on an even keel as events unfold. The Justice card can also indicate that you have a choice to make when it appears in your Tarot readings as you will be weighing up all your options and balancing the scales.
Justice is a tarot card with a loud name. It personifies the structure and orderliness of life. This is an Arcana of crystal purity in the face of the law. Fairness denotes the truth, which must necessarily prevail. Everything will be as it should be. There is no place for lies here. But in the opposite form, Justice hints at obvious shortcomings. Sometimes formalities only act to the detriment and do not simplify life. All laws are invented by people, and people tend to err. But it is not clear whether this was done intentionally or not. In the opposite form, the card says that the authorities should not always be trusted.
2022 LUNAR CALENDAR
10/17/2022 LAST QUARTER MOON IN CANCER: Your feeling of safety is now related to your home, family, and related activities such as cooking and gardening. You may be prone to emotional fluctuations; you should learn to forgive and forget in order to avoid depression from thinking too much about things. Your perception of the world can be very subjective; try to create a certain distance without being bitter. Due to your rich emotional manifestation, you can create a real sense of belonging in the world.
10/25/2022 NEW MOON IN SCORPIO: Moon in Scorpio creates the need to delve into your feelings as deeply as possible. You desire meaningful emotional exchanges now more than at any other time even if it is not easy and you are forced to change many things. Shallow relationships do not satisfy you, because they are not purifying enough.
The position of the Moon in Scorpio is very passionate and mysterious. All accumulated in the subconscious is put forward to the fore: passion, jealousy, aggression, the thirst for power, and the desire to win. Instincts now take precedence. During these periods, more fights and psychological pressure. However, this time allows a person to more easily know the depths of his soul, to exceed his possibilities – a sudden transformation, the awakening of the soul, and important spiritual discoveries are close. Do not try to hide the facts, but do not disclose all your plans, do not be too tense, and do not try to implement secret designs. Beware of resentment of someone from others. It’s easier to start things that require more courage, and determination. However, it is more difficult for criminals to cope with themselves, they are more inclined to extremes. These are the days of martial arts, the soldiers of the Spirit. More experienced people are more aware of how to take control of enslaving passions.
Not only fighters or those prone to crime become more active, but also those who are involved in power structures: military, police, security structures, etc. Increased interest in magic, magic, and secret esoteric sciences. This period is favorable for artists because feelings, and passions are hot, and the subconscious provides many opportunities for self-expression. This period is less favorable for teachers: students are more interested in love affairs and evil jokes. Favorable time for signing documents, renting out a property, painting work premises, showing trust, solving problems, sending detailed inquiries, starting campaigns against competitors, and making important transactions. A good time for activities in the field of police control, surgery, research, exploration, meat trade, mining, investment management, and also in the area associated with funerals.
