October 24th: Mercury and Ceres embrace cordially emphasizing daily productivity, while Chiron and the Sun reflect knowledge and healing

October 24th: Mercury trines and parallels Ceres at the same time. This is unusual and can bring a positive spin on doubts and hesitations. Mercury, like Venus a few days ago, is transiting star cluster M5, and that may coincide with questionings, self-doubt and create insecurity. But the combination with the asteroid Ceres is strong, and the actions taken today will certainly show a good response from  circumstances to many of our ideas. To facilitate this even more, we must put an emphasis on productivity  and on the practical aspects of everyday life, taking care of situations that require attention. This aspect encourages sales, communication, information generation and management, transport and education. And, as always with Ceres in positive relations with other planets, it is a good day to work with food, children, animals, plants and generally to have a positive contact and communication with nature. Mercury is 135° from Uranus and also 72° from Pallas, and this can match unexpected changes of plans or strategy; but also, if properly channeled, this combination can represent good ideas and mental creativity. The Sun trine Chiron emphasizes knowledge, research, studies, and is especially suited for health, which in many cases can be revitalized with the appropriate therapy. Therefore, it is a good day to apply necessary treatments or to make accurate diagnoses, as there is also a strong intuitive element in the atmosphere. This perceptive factor will favor psychoanalysis, introspection, and most of all, learning from our own experience.
