Babes, it’s Scorpio season! You can run, but you can’t hide. Today we are in prep for an eclipse, We are going through the rebirth of Venus turning into an evening star, we are digging in the dirt. Scorpio season will feel vastly different than Libra season, and we might feel more internal with deep impulses at work.
What are you hiding from? What are you avoiding? What are you scared to face? There is healing in letting go, in uncovering your wounds and thorns. The protections we built to survive are not meant to come with us all the way home.
Libra Moon is concerned with connection and emotional balance. We are still dealing with relationships and relationshipping. Aquarius Saturn lends a helping hand serving up air reality: it’s intellectual, and also concerned with balance for all. This Saturn is appealing to your higher self. Then, boom, Mercury joins Moon in a conjunction where your thoughts and communications are trying to find balance in the body and mind. There may be deep knowing, felt in the body, and coming from the divine. Or, there could be anxiety and overthinking; trying too hard to make things even and fair can sometimes have you gaslighting yourself. Don’t get me wrong– it’s important to consider others, but remember to do it from an emotional core of self knowing.
Venus is now a dark princess, and still swallowed in the light of Scorpio Sun. She is about to emerge in her evening gown, dressed to slay and stare into your soul: but not quite yet. She is still beautiful and divine, and powerful. Can you harness your shadow this season? Can you flush out what doesn’t serve? You could be sitting with something that can’t move forward. This Venus is about transformation. What are you ready to become?
Libra Moon gets more help through our Gemini Mars actions. Perhaps our conversations are especially sharp and witty, meaningful or high learning. Perhaps we are able to come to relationship balance and understanding.
When Libra Moon makes a cardinal square to Capricorn Pluto we come to an initiation of transformation. This Pluto– tomorrow– is one of the rulers of the eclipse, so this brief square can act as a trigger or activation point to what is needed for tomorrow. Don’t be scared! We’re ready to do the work, make the choices, and end the madness. We are ready to up-level, and take practical steps–- that make sense– because the only way to go is forward, even if we can’t see.
Tuesday October 25th
New Moon Scorpio @ 1 degree
Partial South Node Solar Eclipse conjunct Venus in Scorpio @ 2 degrees
Today is a big deal. Today is a birthing process, a magical time. It is highly charged. While new moons are a time to set intentions, the hand of fate will be reaching through and readjusting our trajectory, to help us move through our karma. This might not be pretty. It might not be pleasant. But if you have the time, space, means, and will: today is a day to face the dragon.
So while it’s great to do intentions for this new moon, they will be especially powerful if they are related to letting go of habits, patterns, or hidden emotions. Have you dug into what trauma you have been carrying from the last two years? That’s a start. Being confined, trapped, and under threat of a mysterious virus traumatized most of us, and then the ensuing societal changes also brought some of us to the brink of sanity. Trust was lost. Families split apart. Family members died. Forest fires raged. Mass extinction loomed. Laws were reversed. We are resilient but we are grieving; all of us. The future we see ahead of us feels less stable, less pleasant, and less guaranteed.
Relationships broke apart, entire industries stopped. Money is tight and inflation is up. Now we are trying to move like nothing happened because we are eager to live life again. But all of that DID happen. And that’s on top of all the other things that happened to you, in your lifetime, that you carry in your joints, bones, and psyche.
If you have trauma or fear, perhaps today is the day to grieve, let go, sort through the confusing parts of you, and release the shame. If you have addictions, dark attractions, compulsions, this is the day to love all of these parts of you. Your darkness and light can co exist like the new Moon. It does take two to tango.
Are you staying in a relationship that holds you back because you need an excuse? Are you scared of your own power? Are you ashamed of who you are, when now one else is around?
Birth is a painful process, but today you can be anointed and walk through the initiation. Scorpio is deep, and it loves you. You can be someone new. Not by leaving behind this mess and pretending it wasn’t there, but by dealing with it. The rulers of this eclipse are Mars– about to go retrograde in Gemini, and Pluto, that just squared the Moon yesterday. You don’t get to avoid your transformation, but you do get to parent yourself through it. Venus is connecting us with each other through this. It’s personal AND we’re doing this together. It’s affecting our relationships, finances, and preferences. We aren’t going to be the same, but that’s a good thing.
This is DEEP trust work.
Can you trust yourself?
Can you let go of shame?
Can you trust the process?
Can you be vulnerable, and have compassion for the deepest and darkest parts of yourself?
Spoiler alert: yes you can.

Are we having fun yet? There is medicine in this madness. Just because it’s dark and scary doesn’t mean that this is wrong. This is the astrological clean up crew.
Aquarius Saturn is the apex and mechanism of the T-square that makes society, reality, and time a major factor in what’s happening between the triggers of our shadow/ ancestral stuff and whatever Uranian surprises come our way. We might need to deal with something unexpected and it might be destabilizing. Reality used to be a friend of mine…
Your bouncing unfocused efforts will get some balance with the golden tongue of Libra Mercury. Your communications and thoughts will be fair and measured, although decision making might be difficult, negotiations and mediations will be wondrous within the tight corners of the T-square above.
That same Gemini Mars, competing for the starring role of the week, is the apex of a yod involving the deep, fixed waters of the Scorpio Moon working with the power of Capricorn Pluto. Actions may be transformative as balances of power are upset. There is precision to this mechanism, but will it land where it needs to? You might not mean to react in such a strong powerful way, but the activation is deep, and reaches through your lineage. With Moon squaring Neptune, you may find yourself indulging in inebriants to sooth the serrated edge of the last few days. Hopefully you don’t lose your feelings in it, no matter how uncomfortable.

Jupiter moves back into Pisces
We haven’t heard too much from Jupiter this week, but it does a couple moves with an expansive trine with Sagittarius Moon, lending itself to a bigger purpose before moving back into its ancient home, Pisces. Jupiter trining Moon gives us travel and momentum, inspiration and movement, and at zero degrees, it’s a very pure light that we need after this week.
Our mediator, Libra Mercury comes face to face with a power dynamic and hierarchy. Will this golden tongue be forced to choose a stance? Or will it be faced with its own compliance to power structures? Will power and control swoop in and change the game?

T square: Sagittarius Moon opposes Gemini Mars @ 25 degrees apexed by both Jupiter @ 29 degrees and Piscean Neptune @ 22 degrees

Sagittarius Moon wants us to move. It wants us to explore, expand, travel and learn and it brings that medicine to our identity wounds today. Whatever we feel is wrong with us, will be boosted by literal movement, learning, and culture. Then it gets confusing and goes dada/ surrealist on us once it squares Neptune. This could be great for art, but not so great for computational mathematics.
Then we get Piscean Jupiter making an expansive dreamy play for what things could be. Have we been sold a bill of goods, or have we got answers about the magic in the world? What do you believe? This is all the mechanism while our bodies and actions have a showdown. There is anxious and distributed energy that could make for excellent writing, and that’s playing off all this inspiration for the last few days. After emptying out and cleaning the cobwebs, what beliefs, dreams, and ideas are coming through?
Saturday October 29th
Mercury enters Scorpio
Our thought processes and communications become careful, intentional and dare I say– guarded? After all this relationship rebirth and hullabaloo, we aren’t about to reveal everything. We are keeping our cards much closer to our chest and being careful. We’re all keeping an eye on our words and our thoughts become investigative. We may want to be mindful about what our assumptions are, and practice the art of listening. If we can keep judgment to a minimum (good luck on this) we may actually learn a thing or two beyond our suspicions and neurosis. Listening is always good practice, but watch the lens that you perceive through. Scorpio is good at uncovering what’s going on and saying only what is needed. And that can be a beautiful thing. Try not to stay fixed on your initial assumptions.
Sunday October 30th
Capricorn Moon square Aries Chiron
Capricorn Moon trine North Node in Taurus @ 13 degrees
Capricorn Moon trine Taurus Uranus @ 17 degrees
We made it to Sunday, friends! Scorpio season really kicked off with a bang this year, and that bang was like fishing in a lake with dynamite. Practical and austere Capricorn Moon wants you to get over all these feelings and get going. You might be stuck in the emotions and bodily triggers, but you still need to brush your teeth, and go to work. Practical matters can also help us get out of our identity wounds, and navel-gazing. Moving on is something that Capricorn Moon will help us do. Pick up the pieces and go home.
Capricorn moon, and thus the mechanism of working hard, and dealing with practical things, will make beneficial aspects to both Uranus and North Node in Taurus today– suggesting that we may get some good news or circumstances coming our way, or some fortuitous financial or luxurious treats. It could just be something practical and earthy, and it may seem like small potatoes after this week, but take pleasantries when they come and don’t minimize the value of earth bound pleasures. There’s further wild rides ahead, and today we’ve swum ashore, and there’s someone there to hand us a towel and a warm meal. It’s not much– but it’s everything– and it’s prepping you for what’s ahead.
