October 2008 Monthly Horoscopes – Jupiter squares

Mercury square Jupiter – affecting almost the whole month in October, very strongly in the first decade, less in the second and strongly in the last one. The unusual long influence is due to the fact that Mercury is retrograding precisely in the square area with Jupiter.

At the macro level, Mercury-Jupiter discrepancies underline lack of honesty, trust abuse, cheating, theft, lies and broken promises and bring troubles caused by communication or judgment errors, carelessness or clumsiness.

The Mercury-Jupiter square doesn’t favor trips, transactions, negotiations, partnerships, contracts or trials and it raises the risk of accidents and natural disasters.

The Sun square Jupiter, with effects in the first decade of October:

The aspect encourages excesses, imprudence, waste, greed, ostentation, arrogance and overreactions. Because the Sun makes a conjunction with retrograde Mercury at the same time, the configuration strongly marks out the Mercury-Jupiter square described above.
