On October 30, a powerful aspect takes place: Mercury, the planet of communication and thoughts currently stationed in passionate and calculative Scorpio, opposes Uranus, the planet of revolution and unexpected changes currently stationed retrograde in Taurus. But what does that mean, and how can you use this to your advantage?
As we’ve discussed before, there are many planetary aspects—some positive, some negative. An opposition is the most negative aspect there is, when the planetary energies are in direct and total conflict with one another.
Think of this Mercury-Uranus opposition as a tension between your need to make a clear plan for your life and figure out your next steps, and your need to burn it all down if you feel like you’re not getting enough out of it.
Read on to find out how this planetary aspect will impact you.
Aries
You may not have all the funds you need for a project, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have support.
Taurus
You’re being torn between understanding you need to empathize in a relationship and demanding all the attention that you deserve.
Gemini
Don’t let past insecurities poison the way you treat yourself and the way you view your body. Practice self-care instead.
Cancer
Just because your friends don’t share your excitement over a project or activity doesn’t mean you should deny yourself joy.
Leo
Work may be challenging and unpredictable lately, so it’s more important than ever to cultivate a harmonious atmosphere at home.
Virgo
If you’re not learning enough during a course or an educational trip, pivot. You have your own wisdom to share.

Focus on the nice things in your life, not on the lack of support from those who should support you.
Scorpio
You may need to let go of certain relationships and partnerships that don’t allow you to fully be yourself anymore.
Sagittarius
If you feel like there’s something wrong with you, consider whether your stress levels are too high. Find your zen.

Being there for your friends and community is more important right now than pursuing your own fleeting interests. Stop sulking.

Your education and expanding your horizons is so important. Don’t worry about the everyday mess. Focus on the big picture.
