Halloween/Samhain as Mars Begins His Journey 🎃


(S hemisphere below)
All Hallow’s Eve/Samhain/Halloween! We’ve arrived to the cross-quarter day that in the north opens the gateway to winter, and in the south, opens the gateway into summer.
The veil is thin, the ancestors walk among us and we benefit from connecting with them. Do you build an ancestors altar? It’s such a wonderful to celebrate.
Jupiter has reentered Pisces which feels like a very welcomed protection in a very dicey time.
Mars is now retrograde, thus we enter a 10 week heroes journey that will pass through the underworld. Where is 25° Gemini in your chart? (Ask me if you don’t know) 25-8° is the terrain that will be cultivated.

October 31 Monday
Appropriately intense for Halloween, the day opens with a Moon Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. Combined with the Scorpio stellium we have a very intense, deep, probing, emotional day. There is a friendly and supportive sextile conversation between the Moon & Pluto with Jupiter & Neptune which is the only ease in the skies right now. When I look at the chart it’s nearly all red stressful lines (squares and oppositions). What does this mean for us? That people are stretched and strained right now and very easily triggered. Mars sitting at the station degree, out of bounds, in a sign he doesn’t have any dignity in means that people are ready for a fight, as a way to discharge the tension. Don’t be those people, and be extra kind in general. It’ll go a long way right now.
November 1 Tuesday
All Saint’s Day follows up Samhain and is a great day to visit cemeteries. The Moon in Aquarius joins Saturn and highlights all the fixed squares and oppositions. Themes of body, sex, emotions, trauma, and transformation are all on deck right now. Try to let yourself feel the things that are up and to not disassociate due to overwhelm. It’s a lot better in the long run.
November 2 Wednesday
The Moon finishes up it’s fixed air time and splashes into Pisces, joining the sweetest part of the skies. She is now strumming harmonious chords with the fixed planets so things feel better overall.
November 3 Thursday
The mutable water Moon trines the Scorpio Sun& Venus today which is a sexy mystical vibe. The Scorpio season wants to be felt deeply and today is a lovely version to feel.
November 4 Friday
Today is a shimmery, psychedelic day as the Pisces Moon teams up with Neptune and Jupiter. These guys are squaring Mars so this can also be a very scattered, ungrounded day but if you relax a bit into it, it might be fun.
November 5 Saturday
The Moon cross the Aries point reviving the journey around the zodiac once again. An Aries Moon is always a bit bracing but can be applied to tasks. Mars is now calling the shots for the Sun, Mercury, South Node and Venus as well as the Moon and Chiron, so it’s time to take the bull by the horns. (Or the ram in this case…) Where are you going to use this Mars retrograde intentionally? It’s going to stimulate all things to do with communication and can lead to communication breakdowns, so try leaning in, invoking Jupiter in Pisces’s help and bravely addressing things that may have been repressed for some time.
November 6 Sunday
There is fire and feistiness today as the Aries Moon pings off Mars and squares Pluto. This may be an actively grumpy day for some, but not you if you go find a way to get your ya yas out. Something physical and adrenaline stimulating should do the trick.
