Friday’s Scorpio new moon (10 degrees Scorpio, 5:47 a.m. pacific) captures a grand trine, the most auspicious aspect in astrology, as well as several friendly sextiles. And with very few challenging aspects, this lucky configuration has something for (just about) everybody.
Let’s talk about the new moon first. The sun and moon are cozied up in the sign of Scorpio, which is, in my opinion, the most interesting sign in the zodiac, as it contains multitudes. Scorpio’s symbols range from the vengeful scorpion to the powerful eagle, to the transcendent phoenix, and its affiliates are likely the most diverse coalition of all the signs.
As you probably know if you’ve been reading my articles for a while, a new moon and the two weeks between the new and full moon, is a time of new beginnings, of adding new habits and practices, harmony, and expansion.
This one gives us a favorable trine to Saturn, which assures us that all will be well if we do the work to create that which we desire for ourselves and the world. Another important thing to do now under this transit is to take stock of where we are succeeding, and how we can apply the same discipline we use to create this success in areas where we feel less secure and successful. Yep, this is a good time for a review, a self-evaluation, as well as intention-setting.
Now let’s get to that grand trine. The three planets in the trine are: Mercury (communications and commerce), Mars (action, assertion) and Neptune (spirituality, unconditional love). This trine occurs in water signs, which symbolize emotions and connection.
If you are an artist or a healer, this trine is particularly meaningful to the work you are doing, or if you are on a healing journey (and, really, who isn’t?) or longing for stronger connections in your life, you will benefit from this very fortunate interpersonal configuration.
Now is the time to talk about what you do and what’s important to you. Are you doing humanitarian work? All the better. By sharing your story and your truth, you can enroll others in your vision now. And by taking even the smallest actions with deliberate intent, your impact will be greater at this time.
As I have mentioned in previous posts, the heavy-hitting outer planets have come into a more favorable aspect to one another. One possibility: that family member or friend with whom you’ve had seemingly irreconcilable rifts of opinion or belief may begin to make overtures, or perhaps you will be drawn to start bridging a gap. I’ve seen this happen a lot in the lives of many people I’ve spoken to recently, often with miraculous results.
Sextiles are the aspect of friendship, and friends play a major role in this lunation and the two weeks following it. Meet with and check in on friends frequently. Collaborate with others, make new friends and ask for help from your kindred spirits and fond acquaintances now.
Jupiter is retro in Gemini, which may mean that the work you do now will pay off at a later time. If you are a writer, now’s the time to write, or do communications however you do them, as well as branch out, expanding your communications comfort zone.
Another cool thing that happens with a chain of sextiles like this is that there often ends up being a lot of “paying it forward”. Asking for and giving help, even from/to people you don’t know can set in motion a cascade of events that ripples good karma out into the world in a fabulous way.
By the way, the Sabian symbol for this degree of Scorpio is “A Drowning Man is Being Rescued”, and the sub-heading is: “The deep concern of the social group for the safety of individuals”.
And looping back around to of Jupiter, its only aspect is an opposition with Venus, which can be very beneficial as there are no bad aspects to Jupiter, unless there is compulsion, addiction or greed involved. Don’t be afraid to bargain or negotiate now, and don’t shy away from asking for more of what you want in your relationships, particularly romantic partnerships. Legal matters will (mostly) yield justice. And don’t be afraid to press your luck a little if you feel intuitively guided to do so.
If you haven’t gotten what you need through the usual channels, try a loophole or find a way around the bureaucracy. Of course, I mean respecting the limits of the law, but once again, connections, and friends (or friends of friends) in high places can be especially useful now.
Ideas abound, especially when you get out of your head and take a break from routine. Meditation, walking, exercise and changing your environment are all favored.
Should you have that big discussion with the boss ? Maybe, but it should be friendly and respectful, as Mars and Pluto are in opposition. If you are angry, try to work out the anger first. But perhaps just a touch of anger may be useful. Again, trust your gut.
The only square is between Venus and Saturn. So maybe avoid impulse purchases and keep yourself grounded where new romance is concerned, especially if you’re looking for something long-term. Saturn says take your time, and if it’s right, the passion, and the suitor, will still be there in a week or a month.
Yep, this is a very energetic time. A lot can be accomplished now with just a bit of focus, discipline and deliberation.
And there will be fun surprises, too. Enjoy the cool synchronicities that arise. Also, take breaks. Yes, this might be a whirlwind time, and many, if not most of us (reading this) are empaths. Seriously, do the meditation, surround yourself with white light, and take several grounding breaks throughout the day.
The next New Moon Circle will be held on Friday, November 1 at 6:00 p.m. pacific.
This will be for the Scorpio New Moon, another powerful time for creating and setting intentions!
