Horoscope for the week beginning Oct. 16

By Michael O’Connor

Tip of the week

The New Moon in Libra was on October 12 and is now fast approaching its first quarter turn, a.k.a. waxing half-moon. Woven into the New Moon portrait was Venus, Mars and Jupiter in Virgo. Mars will conjunct Jupiter first on October 17 then Venus will follow suit on the 25th. While Mars is well placed in Virgo, Venus and Jupiter are both more challenged there. However, the fact that they are closely aligned serves to uplift their respective energies like quality time shared among good friends during challenging times simply chalked-up to bad weather.

PS: Regarding the Canadian Federal Elections on Monday I predict Stephen Harper will win again, Tom Mulcair will subsequently resign and retire before the year ends, or very soon thereafter, and Justin Trudeau will continue as leader of the Liberals. But many seats will be won by the NDP especially in local ridings across the country.
