New Moon Report for October 25/7:50am

Minderwiz is a little busy these days, so I'll be writing the luminary reports until his schedule frees up a little.

Alright, this month's new moon is in Scorpio, and energies reach deeper from the full moon of firey Aries. The overall elemental tone this month is water (only the transSaturns and Jupiter are not in water), and you may feel the energy shifting to the murky depths Scorpio loves.

The key aspects of this new moon are as follows:

Firstly, there's the sun/moon conjunction with Mercury, and a trine to a Piscean Mars. While this is condusive to communication, this also colours mental processes with emotion. Motives and actions will be emotionally based, and to some degree they will be unconscious, or covert. Emphasizing this is Venus weakened in Scorpio w/a semisextile to Pluto. You may find interaction w/others much more intense, profound and focused for this luminary phase. However, these signatures are also condusive to penetrating, psychological insight and furthermore, towards acting productively upon such insight.

There is also an out of sign trine from sun/moon/merc to Uran, which may add a subtle sense of excitement and unexpectedness. The conjunction b/w Mars-Uran from the last new moon is still there however weak it is, so it may still be triggering some ppl's charts. But as Mars continues to separate from Uranus, impulsive behaviour gives way to more thoughtful action (or a Scorpionic manipulation if you want to see it that way ;)).

Jupiter is also moving into an opposition to Mars and square to Pluto (too wide for a T square). So again we have another emphasis on Scorpio (as Mars and Pluto co-rule Scorp). In this case, a clash b/w brothers (Jupiter and Pluto) is driven by soul searching Mars. This may express itself through a questioning or overturning of dogma, ideals, restrictions b/c of deeper elements coming to light.

Funnily enough, Saturn comes to save the day by stabilizing the situation somewhat. Although Jupiter and Saturn are both weakened by their sign placements (J in Virgo, S in Cancer), which I think may give Pluto the upperhand (even though, in Sag, he deposits to Jupiter), they are in a nice productive sextile. Saturn also trines Mars and Venus (too wide for a grand trine :(). So again, actions right now will be more thought out, more thorough, and emotionally based. Saturn reigns in wanton destruction and channels it towards order. His weak placement in Cancer however means that it's not going to be a walk in the park.

Overall, this moon phase looks very intense compared to last month's Libra moon. This new cycle could hold the potential for serious changes. Remember, Scorpio is associated w/Death and Mars w/Tower. Issues needing to be addressed will not be met by complacency. It would do well to try to avoid the behavioural pitfalls of Scorpio (obsessive thinking, holding grudges, emotional manipulation), and to turn all this powerful energy inwards towards self discovery and regeneration.
