Obviously, until WP fixes their tachyonic chronoton interface, I have to write these before they get published.  However for this one and the next couple I’ll be on the road so I’m writing them considerably more prior to the publication date than usual.  This will be a great example to flex on all the SCIENCE! deniers by showing that astrology can predict events a month ahead of time just as well as a day or two beforehand.

There are no alignments this week.  That makes writing this up considerably easier.  I do need to warn you:  October 16 Mercury goes RETROGRADE again.  This is also when I’ll be shooting Nationals… motherfucker.  At least my competitors will be under the same skies.  Except only those who are shooting on the staff match will be the rest of the people will be shooting later… dammit.  Oh well, as long as I don’t shoot myself or anyone important, I guess I’ll be ok.  My strategy is going to be to hope that there are at least nine other class U shooters there and then beat them.

Even though there’s no alignments, there are always events taking place in the heavens.  Most of them are the same as last week (also typical) with the notable exception of the moon having moved into Leo.  This is actually a good sign for me, since coupled with the Sun being in Libra gives a buff to all DEX and AGI related skills/feats.  Fortunately Saturn is NOT in Scorpio, so I won’t be inhaling too much lead dust.
