Oct. 3rd: Your Daily Astrology and Horoscope Forecast with Kelli Fox

The pursuit of harmony is a good thing. But not if it's an obsession, that makes it difficult to deal with conflicts. As Mercury moves into Scorpio and Mars shifts into Libra today, the drive for peace and quiet is tangible - but ironically, this is likely to raise tempers even higher as tolerance levels drop.

For the Fire Signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, peace may come only after war. Fiery interactions with others may be set off by your blunt tongue or hasty action. Work to keep the peace and use your charm to get what you need or want.

The Earth Signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn should take care to stay grounded. People today might question how you’re doing things, and you like doing them your way. But isn’t that a bit obsessive? Open your mind and take a look – is your approach really the best? Accept others’ ideas with grace.

If you’re an Air Sign – Gemini, Libra or Aquarius – you’re natural communicators, and Mercury in Scorpio means your talks are likely to be deep and intense. But your natural curiosity might be irritating to some. Keep boundaries in mind. be aware of exactly who you’re talking to and adjust appropriately.

The Water Signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces like digging below the surface, but your probing questions might be too much for some. Use your emotional sensitivity to adjust your style, if necessary, to be more logical and less impulsive.

Looking ahead, immovable obstacles cause frustration when the Sun squares Saturn on Monday. If you can't get past something, the universe may be trying to teach you some new coping tools.
