Our first major movement in the sky
today comes as Venus transits from Virgo to Libra at 10:31 AM. Venus
is ridiculously well placed here; she rules Libra. What this will
herald, eventually, is her closing square with Pluto and opposition
with Uranus. This occurs on November 20th and 23rd
respectively.
Today, though, the Moon will lead us
through these aspects, squaring Pluto at 1:40 PM and opposing Uranus
at 9:43 PM. Arguments within our relationships are entirely possible
today. This is partially due what is going on in Libra with the Moon
as that sets our mood...dark (Pluto) and potentially jumpy (Uranus).
But, it is also due what is going on in the rest of the sky. The Sun
and Mercury are in Scorpio. There could be some matters or emotions
held in resentment as we could have been tight lipped about voicing
complaints while Mercury was forever in Libra. While the Sun was in
Libra, that “putting up a face” of everything being hunky dorey
inclination could have been reinforced. However, now that we are in
the depths of Scorpio season, the ugly is squeezed forth and brought
to the surface...this includes any feelings of resentment, greed,
power abuse/control and what have you.
Problem is, we still want things to be
amicable. We want to negotiate and make amends under Venus in Libra.
While the Moon is under pressure, though, apologies could be met with
rejection or just stir up old wounds. If you are truly trying to make
amends, negotiate and/or compromise, don't let the other person's
over the top emotional reaction or dismissal of your efforts dissuade
you from doing the right thing. You can only be sincere in your
efforts and control what you are doing. Know that if you are on the
receiving end of an apology and are not ready to play nice, you have
that right. But, in the meantime, I highly suggest introversion to
personally deal with what is happening in your emotional body in an
effort to release bitterness and rage. Forgive if and when you are
ready. But, definitely deal with yourself so that this poison doesn't
run the risk of affecting your other relationships or tunneling into
your system making things worse on a personal level. Even with the
Moon and Venus in social airy Libra, it could be quite an anti-social
day.
After her opposition with Uranus, the
Moon is Void until entering Scorpio at 11:04 PM tomorrow.

The Moon is Void in Libra for most of
the day. Meanwhile, the Sun in Scorpio perfects in trine to Chiron
(3:06 PM) and inconjunct to Uranus (10:16 PM). We are likely quite
emotionally numb or non-reactive while the trine between the Sun and
Chiron allows us to slowly assess our pain and imbibe our “hurt”
with the tremendous healing power of the Scorpion. The inconjunct
from the Sun to Uranus may provide opportunity to release and become
free of these pains.
The Moon is re-activated when enters
Scorpio at 11:04 PM. If you thought Scorpio season was dark before,
know that we are headed to the darkest of the darkest nights under
our incoming new moon. Don't mistake “dark” for evil. I'm talking
in literal terms here. As in, void of light darkness. Folks are
likely going to respond to this darkness by becoming quiet,
introverted, subdued...many are stewing as Mercury is also waxing
into a deepening sextile with Pluto which perfects tomorrow morning.
The Sun remains in waning sextile to the Dark Lord as well. Things
could feel a little “snakey.” Paranoia could be a thing. Plus,
you know, some folks are afraid of the dark so that could be a thing
too. But, for those who are unafraid to peer into the deepest of
velvety dark nights, tonight features prime opportunity to sink in
deeply. Also, know that there is plenty being said without words
right now. Be mindful of non-verbal communication and intuitive hits.
Overall, it is a quiet, subdued, introspective, watery and deeply
introspective day.

This
morning we wake up to the perfection of Mercury in sextile to
Scorpio. Minds are stewing and tongues are...well, we aren't inclined
to be telling jokes, I'll put it that way. Unless they are dirty
jokes or even cutting vindictive ones. Many are investigating
serious business. Some are putting the finishing touches on their
latest “evil plans.” I'm telling you if you need to get to the
bottom of something, today is the perfect opportunity. Not only are
brains geared toward deep investigation, but the emotional body is
picking up on undercurrents of information that we may not be able to
note through direct visual observation. The Moon in Scorpio (which is
intuitive and able to pick up on non-verbal subtleties all by itself)
is in trine to the Lord of the Seas at 1:07 PM. This puts a serious
uptick to our ability to pick up on what is not being said.
Later
tonight, the Sun finds Jupiter in Virgo by sextile at 9:18 PM. Then,
the Moon also finds Pluto by sextile at 1:59 AM (early morning on the
11th).
In
Scorpio season, particularly while Mercury is in Scorpio and Pluto is
aspecting everything in the sign, we are inclined to extremes.
Extremes of thought. Extremes of emotion. Extremes of personality
expression. All of this. Remember that your choices are not limited
to these extremes. It doesn't have to be a metaphorical choice of
kill or be killed. Ok? There are other options.
Venus
in Libra is begging us to remember this. She honors compromise and
negotiation. Both of these require finding a middle ground instead of
veering to one extreme or the other. Don't forget the middle ground
and don't forget that it does not have to be all or nothing even
though we will likely be inclined to feel that way.
Speaking
of extremes what I see here is the potential for a person to really
become burned up by their own anger, resentment and rage. But, the
highest use of this energy involves release of those feelings more
than holding on to them. The Moon is waning, darkening. Pluto is
offering us a chance to restore and rebirth our perspective. Through
serious introspection we can find exactly what is making us sick (or
has the potential to make us sick, mentally, physically or
emotionally) and purge those toxins in an effort to heal. The Moon in
trine to Neptune makes us sensitive and gives us the ability to
forgive and let go...accept. Remember, salt water heals everything
either by dissolving it in the ocean or purging it through tears.
Break your personal emotional dam and let the dirty water release
allowing your well to be refilled with more fresh water. Let go.
Release. Purge. Detox. DRINK MORE WATER. REST.
Handled
correctly and at the end of the day you could feel restored, perhaps
a little humbled and more resilient through the Sun/Jupiter sextile.
However, if you allow these toxins to keep poisoning you by
continually martyring and victimizing yourself, then the sextile
between the Sun and Jupiter could steer you toward narcissism...in
which you become viciously self-critical or critical of others
leaving lasting cuts in both places because you have lost the ability
to look beyond your own pain. So, introspect and find it. But don't
play with it or wallow in it...let it go. Not for them. For you.

Oh,
darkest of the dark days when the Moon (the Queen of the Night)
hovers in the sky during midday. No really. Our New Moon perfects at
12:49 PM...from a high noon position right in the middle of the day.
The
Sabian for this New Moon reads as follows: 20 Scorpio: A woman
flings open dark curtains closing a sacred pathway. Courage needed to
enlarge sphere of being. Readiness to press beyond self. The “woman”
within, opening the gates to Spirit.
As far as I'm concerned, that sums up
the energy in the sky quite nicely all by itself. At this New Moon,
the Sun, Moon and Mercury are all within orb of sextile to their
current ruler, Pluto. Each are also within orb of a sextile to
Jupiter in Virgo. PLUS, they are all inconjunct Uranus and trine
Chiron. Jupiter is also within orb of an inconjunct to Uranus
creating a Yod. Zip. Bang. BOOM!
What we need is courage and readiness.
Willingness. Fortitude. Strength. Practical wisdom and optimism. We
have to be brave enough to start over, in other words. Can you muster
up the courage to peer beyond the veil and assess what is really
going on in terms of the long-term trajectory of your life? Why are
things the way they are? How can you change that around in an effort
to make them better? Where are all the answers for this? Where are you accountable? Where are you not? Can you forgive yourself for your perceived "Backsliding," "missteps" or attempts to self-destruct (yeah, it happens. It's ok. We are all human like that."
The High Priestess answers this for you
at the entrance of the veil. She says, “The answers are where they
have always been. Inside you. In those dark recesses where you've
always been afraid to look.” It's time to be brave enough to sweep
the cobwebs and gunk out of those corners.
Courage
needed to enlarge sphere of being.
Readiness
to press beyond self.
This
New Moon calls us to cut dependencies. Become more resilient. Dig and
look for any spare scraps of strength. Be resourceful. Be brutally
self honest and, then, push forward with fewer baggage. We are vowing
to survive the circumstances of our life while realizing our
accountability for the same. We are engaging in activities that offer
an equal exchange of energy versus those that continually seem to
only deplete us. We are being called to cleanse ourselves inside and
out in preparation to begin again...stronger, more self-aware, more
weathered and wiser. In that, metaphorical intention ground is rich
and fertile. Plant a good seed.
We've
learned a lot over the course of the last few months. Some stuff we
would have rather not know about ourselves or the world. But, you
cannot fix or repair something you did not realize was broken.
Awareness is key. Now, you know. We are given an opportunity to
employ that wisdom in our future endeavors. Forgive yourself of past
ignorance. Our lives are basically a series of learning events. You
cannot act on what you know until you know it. “When I was a child,
I spake as a child; understood as a child; thought as a child; but,
when I became a man, I put away childish things.” Now that you
know, forgive yourself for not knowing and vow to be stronger, more
resilient, thorough and focused. Also, realize that there are some
folks either behind you in maturity and development or in front of
you in the same. Allow them to be where they are and worry about
where you are instead. Don't try to pull someone back or forward.
Focus on you. Where you are. What you know. Move forward from there.
No comparison to the progress or perceived non-progress of others
necessary.
The
seemingly endless roll of aspects in today occur like this:
Moon
sextile Pluto 1:59 A
Moon
conjunct Mercury 4:51 AM
Moon
trine Chiron 8:59 AM
Moon
inconjunct Uranus 9:32 A
Moon
sextile Jupiter 11:43 AM
New
Moon in Scorpio 12:49 PM
Moon
sextile Mars (from the critical 29th degrees of both
Scorpio and Virgo) 9:56 AM on the 12th. This will kick
start the coloring of our energy tomorrow.
I will
give you one more hint in regard to this New Moon. It calls for a
release of control. A sort of “surrendering yourself” to life in
a way that says, “Ok, here I am. Put me where I need to be. I'm
done fighting now.” It's not giving up or giving in. It's fostering
a sense of trust in the fact that the Universe is not out to get you.
And, yeah, you've got to be pretty damn brave to do that. Also, know
that the powers of attraction and repulsion are strongly in play.
Manifest destiny is entirely possible. Our ego's, mental and
emotional bodies are pulling in exactly what they are focused/fixated
upon. So be mindful of where you let that wander.

This
morning the Moon and Mars meet at critical degrees by sextile. I feel
this aspect is fairly important as Mars is the traditional ruler of
the Moon in Scorpio. Immediately following this aspect, the Moon is
Void for a mere 20 minutes before entering Sagittarius at 10:15 AM.
The
Sabian for 30 Scorpio (where we find the Moon during this
sextile): Halloween gives social release to to youthful
impishness. Need for giving free rein to unsocial instincts
within the pale of social traditions. Planned release of inner
pressure.
The
Sabian for 30 Virgo (where we find Mars during this sextile): An
emergency alert frees householder from routine duty. Joy of
enlisting in a task which broadens the life-horizon. Willing rising
to the occasion or escape from narrow destiny.
Halloween
may be officially over. But, from the sounds of it, we are called to
don our Superhero capes today. Remember, the Moon moves to Superhero
inclined Sagittarius immediately following this sextile with Mars. We
duck in the closet during the brief VOC period, ditch our “everyday”
clothes and emerge as...
Or. We
could foster some self-created drama to get us out of a feeling of
being surrounded by the mundane. I hate it when that happens. Don't
you? Some folks could “shake things up” on purpose. As a
distraction. As a tactical ploy to catalyze you into losing your
proverbial shit. If that happens, remember you have just much ability
to be the heroine of your personal story as you do to be the martyr.
After
the Moon enters Sagittarius, Mercury perfects in trine to Chiron in
Pisces (11:47 AM). Are you allowing your triggers to pollute your
perspective? Or are you learning how to bravely face the reality of
them?
At 4:41
PM, the sky shifts again as Mars enters Libra. Mars is not well
placed here. But, to use him to his highest potential, you want to
imbibe your movements with grace, be driven by justice and fairness,
keep your actions balanced and remember their potential impact upon
your relationships. The negative expression is competitive, passively
attacks and has the potential to sit back and push a persons buttons
in that passive-aggressive way that eventually pushes them over the
edge...while the instigator sits back and says, “I was calm cool
and collected. You were the one who lost your shit. It's not me. It's
you. Not my fault.” Don't you love that? Thing is, though, they are
right. If someone “causes” you to go off the deep end, in the end
it was YOU who allowed them to do that and made the choice to lose
it. Yeah. That realization sucks too; but, it is true none-the-less.
We do
meet with a potential point of ease as the Moon sextiles Venus at
7:28 PM. But, this subsequently followed by a conjunction from the
Moon to Saturn (8:48 PM). Make sure your values are solid and geared
with a long-term perspective. Walk your truth gently. Be responsible
and truthful in your negotiations. There is chance to dissolve,
forgive and accept as the Moon squares off with Neptune at 11:49 PM.
There is also a potential for a complete emotional washout here. We
are UBER UBER sensitive emotionally. We are also inclined to
over-react. So, take a step back. Isolate yourself. Rest. Rehydrate.
Encapsulate if need be. Sleep on it.

Today
the Moon is still active in Sagittarius. And, she has the potential
to feel a bit better today. It's all in how you can wrangle your
perspective.
At
midday, Venus finds a solid sextile with Saturn (12:12 PM)
stabilizing our values, what is left of our relationships and sealing
the deal on our attempts at negotiations and compromise. The tendency
toward optimism increases as Mercury finds Jupiter by sextile at 1:18
PM.
Remnants of our pain do persist, though. That point is brought forward by a
square from the Moon to Chiron at 6:57 PM. However, a strong sense of
resolve, a realization of what is truly important and a long-term
perspective can set us up for potential freedom of movement through
the waxing trine between the Moon and Uranus which perfects at 7:24
PM. It's all in how you choose to look at it. It's all in your
ability to stand strong and pull yourself up. It's all in your
willingness to keep going...which you will have the power to do.
Wherever
you find yourself emotionally grows as the Moon squares off with her
current ruler Jupiter in Virgo at 10:20 PM. So work hard in this day
to keep your perspective in check.
Following
the square with Jupiter, the Moon is Void until entering Capricorn at
7:22 PM tomorrow evening.

Today,
the Moon in Sagittarius is Void most of the day. She doesn't enter
Capricorn until 7:22 PM. This gives us a chance to settle and rectify
(not to mention rest) our emotional bodies. It's a good day for rest
in general or toiling in projects that have loose ends. There isn't
much excitement wrapped up in this day. I see that as a good thing.
We've had enough excitement to last us for awhile. Take advantage of
the opportunity to get your feet underneath you and settle your inner
waters.
After
the Moon passes into Capricorn, our emotional body does meet with a
chance at ambiguity and potential conflict between work and
relationships...standards and leisure...power plays in partnerships
could be a thing. Remember, keep your actions wrapped in grace and
well balanced leaning not too far to the left or right but
solidifying your footing in dead center. Balance this square out. Be
responsible and accountable for actions and their subsequent
consequences. We should be on solid emotional ground and able to do
so.
