Laurie’s Weekly Astrology Forecast
October 7, 2024 through October 13, 2024
A Warm Welcome and Important Update
After following my daily astrology posts on social media, I see many of you have joined me here! Thank you and welcome! I’m so grateful to continue sharing these astrological insights with you in this more personal space.
As I prepare for a total knee replacement surgery on October 16th, I’ll be taking a short break —about three to four weeks from work. I plan to have these posts continue but I will not be meeting with clients or making recorded readings. This will allow me to focus on healing and come back stronger. Once I return, my focus will shift to something I’m truly excited about—Personal Insight Sessions—a mentorship program designed to offer deep self-discovery and relational understanding.
If you are interested in diving deeper into your personal growth or improving your relationships, now is a great time to sign up for these sessions. Together, we’ll explore your inner world, your motivations, your loved ones, and the dynamics between you and your loved ones. With a holistic astrological approach, these sessions are tailored to your needs, helping you navigate both personal and relational challenges with more clarity.
I do want to let you know that the prices for these sessions will be increasing in the coming months. If this program resonates with you, I encourage you to schedule a free meeting soon to explore whether it’s the right fit. You can find more details and book your free exploration session here:
Thank you for your understanding and support as I take this time for rest and healing. I’m looking forward to returning, refreshed and ready to continue supporting you in your journey of love and growth.
Highlights of the Week: Transformation, Action, and Expansion
This week begins with a sense of adventure as the Moon moves through Sagittarius, encouraging you to seek new perspectives and possibilities. Early in the week, we experience powerful cosmic alignments that bring depth to relationships and mental clarity. Venus in Scorpio trines Mars in Cancer, sparking emotional connection and aligning your desires with meaningful action. Later, Mercury in Libra trines Jupiter in Gemini, opening up expansive conversations and helping you gain insight into new opportunities for growth and understanding. It’s a perfect time for honest, heartfelt communication and taking steps toward emotional and intellectual clarity.
As the week unfolds, Pluto stations direct at the very last degree of Capricorn on October 11th, marking a profound shift. Pluto’s transformative energy begins to move forward after being retrograde since May 2, 2024, bringing long-awaited changes, particularly in areas where you’ve been restructuring or reassessing. This energy aligns with the grounding influence of the First Quarter Moon in Capricorn, urging you to take practical steps toward your goals with patience and perseverance. There’s an invitation to release what no longer serves you and to step into your power as you align with your long-term ambitions.
The week concludes with significant shifts in communication and growth. On October 13th, Mercury squares Pluto, followed by its entry into deep, probing Scorpio. This will bring intense conversations, inner reflection, and the opportunity to uncover something hidden. That same evening, a Sun-Jupiter trine delivers a sense of hope, expansion, and optimism, encouraging you to look beyond current challenges and embrace the bigger picture. It's a week filled with opportunities for empowerment, grounding, and opening up to new horizons.

Whether you’re tending to your career, home life, or personal projects, this is a day to make steady progress. The Capricorn Moon needs emotional patience, ambition, and determination. Small steps forward taken with conscious intent can lead to big achievements over time.
Jupiter stations retrograde this morning at 21° Gemini, moving us into a time of introspection regarding the direction of our learning and growth. Jupiter retrograde is a time to reflect on the opportunities and ideas you’ve been exploring since it stationed direct on December 30, 2023.

The actions you take at this phase support building momentum—making practical decisions and making an effort to solidify your goals.
Capricorn’s steady, disciplined influence encourages you to focus on the steps that will lead to long-term success. Assess your progress and adjust your approach as you move forward.

Friday, October 11, 2024 - PLUTO STATIONS DIRECT
The day begins with the Moon in Capricorn, still guiding us toward practicality and discipline, but the energy shifts noticeably when the Moon enters Aquarius at 12:30 PM EDT. Aquarius brings a breath of fresh air, suggesting a more innovative and forward-thinking approach. You may feel a desire for freedom, new perspectives, and a break from routine. This shift encourages openness to new ideas and a more detached, objective view of your current circumstances.
Later this evening, Pluto stations direct at 29° Capricorn, marking a significant turning point. Pluto's powerful and transformative energy has been working in the background during its retrograde, urging deep internal work—especially around themes of power, control, and restructuring. Now, as it moves forward in the final degree of Capricorn, the changes you’ve been working through can start to manifest externally. This is a powerful time for breakthroughs, particularly in areas where you've been feeling stuck or controlled.
Questions:
How can I embrace innovation to break free from outdated patterns?
What inner changes are ready to emerge into my outer world with Pluto’s direct motion?
Where in my life am I being called to step into greater power and authenticity?
Saturday, October 12, 2024: INNOVATION AND CONNECTION
The Moon continues its journey through Aquarius today, inspiring you to think outside the box and seek out unique solutions to current challenges. The Aquarius Moon encourages independence and a focus on the bigger picture, so this is a day to embrace new ideas and approaches that may feel unconventional but hold growth potential. It’s an ideal time for collaboration and connecting with others who share your vision.
This is also a good day to take a step back from emotional intensity and adopt a more detached, objective view of your circumstances. The Moon in Aquarius supports clarity of thought and innovation, making it a great time to brainstorm, explore new technologies, or engage in meaningful conversations with like-minded people.
Let your curiosity lead the way today, and be open to experimenting with different approaches and perspectives.
Questions:
How can I bring more innovation and originality into my daily routines or problem-solving?
What communities or groups align with my personal values and vision for the future?
How can I balance emotional detachment with genuine connection in my relationships today?
Sunday, October 13, 2024 - THOUGHTS TURN TO DEPTH
Today begins with the Moon in Aquarius, keeping the focus on innovation and mental clarity, but deeper emotional and transformative energies are in store. At 10:02 AM EDT, Mercury squares Pluto, setting the stage for intense, potentially confrontational communication. Something deeply hidden may surface, and conversations could lead to power struggles or profound realizations. This is an opportunity to dig deep into unresolved issues. Be mindful of how you express yourself—words carry extra weight today.
After it's confrontation with Pluto, Mercury enters Scorpio at 3:23 PM EDT, intensifying the atmosphere further. In Scorpio Mercury takes our minds into deep spaces, seeking depth, honesty, and emotional transparency. The need to investigate what's below the surface in both your thoughts and conversations is powerful. This can allow you to explore the hidden aspects of your psyche and relationships. It’s an excellent time for research, introspection, and hidden information.
Later, as the Moon shifts into dreamy Pisces at 3:55 PM EDT, you may feel a desire to soften the edges of the day’s intensity. Pisces invites compassion, intuition, and a release of control, encouraging you to flow with whatever emerges, rather than resist it.
Capping off the night, the Sun forms a harmonious trine with Jupiter at 11:51 PM EDT, offering a sense of optimism, expansion, and hope. This brings opportunities for growth and opens the door to a broader, more inspired perspective. It’s a beautiful way to close out the day, as the challenging aspects of the morning give way to a feeling of possibility and expansion.
Questions:
What hidden or unresolved issues are surfacing, and how can I approach them with honesty and integrity?
How can I use the powerful energy of Mercury in Scorpio to deepen my self-awareness and communication?
In what ways can I open myself to growth and expansion as the Sun trines Jupiter, particularly in areas where I’ve felt stuck or limited?
