New Moon Eclipse& Mars Turns retrograde

(S hemisphere below)

The Scorpio Zeitgeist includes all the trimmings and trappings of the Halloween season plus deep emotional navigation. Scorpio is about power and hunger and periodic trips to the underworld for necessary adjustments. The Sun & Venus arrived in Scorpio just in time for the New Moon eclipse! Don’t fight the keeper currents that are pulling you down under the surface, this is the necessary medicine of Scorpio. This is a healing sign that works its magic through sexuality and fearlessness. Scorpio understands that everything and everyone has a lifespan and that knowledge pierces through the mundane to make everything more precious and present.

Drink deeply and let this season change you as it is meant to do.

Mars gets going on his 2.5 month retrograde at the end of the week. We have had a preview of what shenanigans this might bring as two undersea communications cables were mysteriously cut last week, one in Scotland and one in France. Mars represents cutting, and acts of war, Gemini represents communication lines, and Neptune is undersea.

Do your best to keep communications grounded, clear, and non combative or passive aggressive. People are going to be very reactive under this transit.

Monday October 24

The Libra Moon with Mercury trine Mars & Saturn starts off the week. A grand air trine is helpful for social concerns so use it this way. Scorpio season is very subterranean so today’s astrology helps us attend to the visible and the invisible. Seek alignment between these parts.

Tuesday October 25

At 3:49am pacific time the New Moon joins the Sun at 2° Scorpio with Venus close at hand. This is a wide solar eclipse. Jupiter joins these planets by answering to Mars, barely moving at 25°. Since Gemini is a very wiggly sign this is super uncomfortable for Mars, and we may feel it in our nervous system and bodies. It’s a good day to stretch and drink enough liquids. Hearty soup is well paired with this New Moon day.

Wednesday October 26

The Scorpio Moon activates the nodal axis & Uranus, squared to Saturn. This is a crisp, fixed square with Saturn all shiny and new post Rx. Deep penetrating feelings, perceptions, insights are needing to find alignment with the social structure we live within. How to apply the changes you are growing through to your everyday life, that is your task.

Thursday October 27

Mercury in Libra square Pluto at 26° Cap. Cardinal squares are big Power struggles, with Mercury in Libra wanting to wear masks while Pluto wants to tear them off.

Sag Moon trine Jupiter in Aries on Jupiter’s day is big levity boost in a subterranean season.

Friday October 28

Jupiter moves back into Pisces for one last stretch! Considering the Mars Rx we are about to enter, I feel like this is some measure of protection for us through the next two months. We’ll take it!

The Sag Moon opposite Mars square Neptune sets the stage for the excessive mutability of this Mars retrograde. Get grounded and stay grounded.

Saturday October 29

Things become serious under the watchful and wise gaze of the Cap Moon as she sextiles the Sun, Ketu, & Venus in Scorpio. What are the deepest and most structural concerns in your life right now? Attend to them today.

Sunday October 30

Mars stations retrograde today at 25° Gemini at 6:26am pacific. The pivot happens w our red planet square to Neptune and Jupiter but w a stabilizing trine to Saturn. Buckle up as now through January 12 will have a speedy Alice in Wonderland quality to it. The world promises to get no less weird so it’s up to us to root down and resist getting thrown around by this transit.
