Historically, retrogrades are a time of delays where it seems like nothing is moving as fast as it would like, but just before a planet turns retrograde and direct, it becomes what astrologers call stationary.
He literally hardly moves at all as he prepares for what lies ahead.
In this case, today may feel like this for you.
Neither bad nor good, but simply stationary, as if you know change is in the air along with the new month ahead of you, but you still feel like you’re watching the world move around you instead of being a part of it.
These periods of stationary energy can be just as frustrating as the retrogrades themselves, but within them, there is always a benefit.
In this fast-paced life, rushing for fear of missing out on opportunities is the norm, yet nothing that is meant for you can truly pass you by.
There is a gift in energetic days like today because you can reflect more deeply on what matters most to you and what is most meaningful.
This feeling of intensity is amplified by the opposition of the Moon in Sagittarius to Mars in Gemini, as it brings out your deepest feelings.
Mars is currently in its pre-shadow phase as it prepares for its retrograde at the end of the month, but right now its greatest power lies in not being able to hide its feelings anymore.
Whatever you’ve been holding back or hoping will just go away comes to the surface with Mars in Gemini and the opposite energy of Sagittarius, not only can it have a romantic air to many, it will also represent your deepest truth.
You cannot be afraid of your truth, even if it seems to complicate life.
The truth always has a way of shaking things up and requiring a change in your life, but it’s never something that comes along with hurting or messing up your plans.
Instead, it is the best tool for alignment, because as long as you follow it, you will also always attract what is for you.
Later in the day, the Moon in Sagittarius connects in the best possible way with Neptune in Pisces.
This creates a very philosophical and deep energy in the latter part of the day, which encourages not only your feelings to be felt more strongly, but also the power of your thoughts.
Anything related to Neptune can bring to life that nebulous surreal aura, which today with Mercury preparing to go direct tomorrow will be amplified, but remember, it’s all part of the plan, even if at this point you don’t know why.
These are the three zodiac signs with the best horoscopes for Saturday, October 1, 2022:
1. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The Moon reigns over your zodiac sign all day long, prompting you to reflect and feel. Yesterday it was about taking advantage of opportunities and your authentic feelings, especially in terms of love, but today it is more about a space to see if you really did or not. Don’t be so afraid of making a mistake that you don’t make a move.
You are a seeker of truth and tend to set your sights on exactly what you want, but retrograde planets may be messing with your mind a bit and have you a bit scared of actually moving forward.
Tomorrow is when everything changes, but today offers you the opportunity to go deeper into these feelings that you are having or even fears so that in the coming weeks you do not allow anything to stop you.
2. Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Mercury is currently stationary in Virgo as it prepares to turn direct tomorrow. Virgo is your opposite sign, which means that for you it’s all about romance. Virgo offers you a complement to your own energy as it can help you focus on what is instead of that beautiful little dream world you like to live in.
Today, things can feel like they’ve hit a wall or that you can’t make sense of something, specifically your feelings versus how things are showing up in your life.
As the Sagittarius Moon unites with one of your ruling planets, Neptune in Pisces, you will later have the opportunity to remember what it feels like to be inspired by the brevity of your passionate beliefs. This is the fuel for the actions that will soon start to become clear.
3. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Mercury in your sign has been helping you reflect on yourself in terms of the life you are living and whether or not it is aligned with your truth. This is a time to learn new things, see things from a different perspective and, as much as you hate sometimes, admit you were wrong so you can move on.
No one makes the best decisions all the time, but when you can admit that something is over or that you are being led in a new direction, you can also embrace a new chapter and the knowledge that comes from a lesson learned.
Take today as an opportunity to embrace all that you have learned about yourself and your life and let the energy of Neptune in Pisces inspire you with compassion and forgiveness so you don’t miss out on the magic of this new chapter.
