Waning Moon
This period is intended to summarize and analyze errors. It is better not to begin new affairs at this time.

The Moon comes out of a zodiac sign and during this time does not make any applying aspects to other planets. This occurs every 2-3 days and lasts from several minutes to several hours. Any initiative at this time is ineffective.
If the Moon's last aspect has been a trine or sextile, then the impact of the Void of Course Moon is not that significant.

OCTOBER 25
The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 23:01, harmonizing with Jupiter and Mars. We can easily drum up support from others and motivation from within to accomplish our goals. We’re enthusiastic and hopeful, playing with exciting ideas and making plans. With a Venus-Uranus biquintile, we notice and appreciate the more unique elements of people, situations, and projects today. As well, a Mars-Neptune creative aspect is brilliant for creative moves. While we’re unlikely to face them head-on, we can see the way around problems. Instead, we may be acting on dreams or ideals now. The Cancer Moon period begins at 5:01 PM, and especially with a Sun-Moon trine, we’re getting in touch with our emotional needs.
The void Moon occurs from 16:12, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mars), until the Moon enters Cancer at 23:01.
Last Quarter Moon
The LAST QUARTER MOON occurs on Thursday, October 28th, 2021, at 4:05 PM EDT.
On Thursday afternoon, the Last Quarter Moon is exact, when the Sun in Scorpio forms a square with the Moon in Leo.
The Last Quarter Moon phase points to some sort of crisis of consciousness. After basking in the awareness symbolized by the full light of the Moon at the time of last week’s Full Moon, we disperse our knowledge and come to a point when we need to sort out what works for us — and what doesn’t. This is in preparation for next week’s New Moon when something new is born once again.
It’s not the best time to start a major project, as the decreasing light of the Moon symbolizes descent into unconsciousness. It’s time to begin finishing up the details of that which was conceived at the last New Moon. We might consider our recent revelations, what they mean to us, and what’s our possible next step.
This phase of the Moon signals a time to review and sort rather than push something new. Until the New Moon, it’s a better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and let go if necessary.
Last Quarter Moon Chart: October 28, 2021
This phase of the Moon occurs at 5 degrees and 37 minutes of Leo square the Sun at 5 degrees and 37 minutes of Scorpio, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 4 to 8 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.
Venus square Neptune October 26. Relationship ups and downs characterize this transit–a time when romantic mirages are more than likely. We see what we hope to see, rather than what really is. The “highs” of a relationship begun under this energy may be thrilling, but the accompanying “lows” are bound to set in, and they can be extremely draining. Be careful not to set yourself up for disappointment.
Mercury quincunx Uranus. It is difficult to get a point across without rubbing people the wrong way or misrepresenting ourselves. Uncertainty reigns today. Avoid making hasty decisions that you will later regret. Impulsiveness, disorganization, unreceptive to practical advice and/or your ideas are not well-received.
Venus square Neptune. Relationship ups and downs characterize this transit – a time when romantic mirages are more than likely. We see what we hope to see, rather than what really is. The “highs” of a relationship begun under this energy may be thrilling, but the accompanying “lows” are bound to set in, and they can be extremely draining. Be careful not to set yourself up for disappointment. The same goes for finances – what appears to be a great buy is likely to turn out to be a financial drain or money pit. Lines can blur when it comes to pursuit of pleasure, as we can convince ourselves to believe what we want to believe.
Venus semi-square Saturn. There may be difficulties relating to others under this influence. People may be cool with their affections and emotionally distant. Avoid new financial undertakings, as they may prove to be “money pits” as time passes. There may be anxiety or troubles with regards to matters concerned with the feelings. Romantic disappointments, unrequited love, separations, and broken engagements are the more negative manifestations. We tend to lack social confidence at this time and adopt a shy, formal, or reserved social manner. This transit is best used for reflection.
Venus sextile Jupiter. Cooperation, consideration for others, cheerfulness, positive attitude towards relationships, romantic opportunities, harmony. Favors financial endeavors. Optimistic spiritual energy is brought to relationships. We tend to connect to a higher purpose regarding our personal relationships and our values, attaching meaning to them. We may enjoy a feeling of well-being now. Ease is experienced in social situations. We are freer with our affections (and our money). This is also a favorable transit for entertaining and socializing.
Sun sesquiquadrate Neptune. Our willpower is low as we stray from our goals and temporarily lose focus. It’s difficult to formulate — or stick to — clear goals during this transit. Concentrating on artistic or spiritual pursuits is better than focusing on matters that require straightforward, factual thinking today. It can be difficult knowing where or how to direct our willpower under this influence. It’s also a challenge knowing where we stand with others. Avoid such things as scheduling surgery, important appointments, job interviews, or launches of new projects at this time.
Sun square Saturn. As we face obstacles to our goals, we begin to see the tools with which we have to overcome them. A heavy dose of realism seems forced upon us under this influence, but our efforts to measure up to expectations can ultimately increase our confidence in our ability to be responsible for ourselves. This influence is a somber one.
Mercury quincunx Neptune. There can be uncertainty and indecision now, as it can be difficult to draw upon intuition or to combine logic and intuition in a cohesive manner. Alternatively, the tendency to daydream can be high, and often at the expense of productivity and clear communication.

OCTOBER 26
The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer. We’re seeking stronger emotional connections, although we also tend to play it safe. It can be helpful to find ways to center ourselves. The Cancer Moon is sensitive, cautious, receptive, and protective. Home or family matters are in stronger focus than usual. Today’s Venus-Neptune square can cast a veil over our needs, wants, and perceptions. We may be dreaming up the ideal, which can clash with reality. We can lack some discrimination, particularly regarding people we care about, our relationships, and material things. We should make an effort to separate fact from fiction to not set ourselves up for disappointment. What appears to be a great buy or something we need may very well turn out to be useless to us, or worse, a financial drain or money pit. Lines can blur when it comes to the pursuit of pleasure, as we can convince ourselves to believe what we want to think. We’re likely too close to the situation. Examining discontent experienced now may be an opportunity to identify where we’ve neglected our spiritual, idealistic, romantic, or imaginative needs.
OCTOBER 27
Today’s Mercury-Neptune parallel stimulates daydreaming, visualization, and prophecy. It’s possible to heal and inspire through our words. We gravitate intuitively to the information we need, and we can come up with unusual but helpful theories. The Moon spends the day in Cancer, and we seek more comfort and familiarity. We can feel some tension as our drives to perform or the demands of our responsibilities can feel pressing. Fears of both loss and closeness can make for some complex interactions. However, a forgiving, accepting element is also present with a Moon-Neptune trine this morning that supports finding ways to detach and calm ourselves, mainly through connecting to our dreams and ideals.
US stocks hit record high as tech earnings approach
Oct 25 2021
Wall Street struck new records as tech firms prepared to release their third quarter earnings
London (AFP) - US stock markets struck a fresh record on Monday as investors awaited earnings results from tech firms while European traders looked ahead to an ECB rate decision and UK budget later in the week.
Asian markets closed mixed following last week’s gains, with investors keeping a worried eye on a fresh Covid outbreak in China that could drag on the already stuttering economy.
Oil prices pressed higher, with Brent at a three-year high above $86 per barrel, while WTI rose above $85 for the first time since October 2014.
The latest gains for crude come after Saudi Arabia said OPEC and other major producers would be cautious in lifting output despite surging demand, warning that the pandemic still posed a threat to the outlook.
In foreign exchange, Turkey’s lira tumbled more than one percent to a record low against the dollar after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for the expulsion of ambassadors from 10 countries, including Germany and the United States, who had appealed for the release of a jailed civil society leader.
It later rebounded as hopes rose that Erdogan would back down.
- Earnings updates -
Long-running worries about inflation meanwhile continued to cast a shadow over trading, though a healthy batch of earnings has tempered those concerns and helped Wall Street scaled new summit last week.
Investors propelled the S&P 500 to a new intraday high during morning trading on Monday, and the Dow approached its record, in anticipation of earnings reports this week from US tech titans including Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft.
“After another decent week of gains US markets have picked up where they left off on Friday as attention turns to another big week of earnings announcements, starting with Facebook later this evening,” said market analyst Michael Hewson at CMC Markets UK.
The results and guidance of the tech firms will be closely followed for an idea about what impact supply chain snarls and rising prices are having on their bottom lines.
Their forward guidance will also be of interest as businesses contemplate tighter central bank monetary policies.
Meanwhile, HSBC bank on Monday posted bumper earnings and plans to buy back shares, which its London-listed shares rising 1.9 percent.
News that troubled China Evergrande had paid interest due on a bond before Saturday’s deadline provided a much-needed boost to market confidence, though it remains to be seen whether the property developer can meet obligations on other notes due before the end of the year.
Chinese markets also got some extra cheer from Evergrande saying it had resumed work on more than 10 projects.
But there were concerns about the property sector after reports that China plans to expand pilot property tax reforms as part of a drive against real estate speculation.
In currency trading, the euro dropped with data showing Germany’s business climate worsened in October for the fourth month in a row, as supply chain woes weighed on the country’s export-driven economy.
European Central Bank policymakers meet on Thursday, with markets hoping for hints on when the ECB may start raising interest rates or taper its massive pandemic-fuelled stimulus programme.
The British government releases on Wednesday is tax and spending plans in its annual budget announcement.
