The transformational New Moon in Scorpio next Thursday is a force for change in its own right. As part of a Grand Trine in the element of Water, be prepared to feel deeply and profoundly. For many, it will feel like their lives will never be quite the same again. We stand with bated breath as we watch history unfold. 

There are 3 major astrological events this week that can have an impact on our lives in so many critical ways. On Friday, Uranus returns to Taurus for some unfinished business. On Sunday, mercury will station for its retrograde phase, followed by Jupiter stationing for its 4-month retrograde phase on Tuesday, November 11th. 

This week we have a Super Full Moon in Taurus. Super Full Moons are those that coincide with when the Moon is perigee or at its closest point in the Moon’s elliptical orbit around the earth. And this is the closest Full Moon for the year. Watch for the Moon to rise and set, and be prepared to be amazed.

On October 22nd Neptune returned to the last degree of Pisces where it will remain until the end of January. It is also joining the legion of other planets that are now in the water signs. So if you find yourself awash in feelings, and are navigating a murky soup of emotions, know that you are not alone. We are all swimming together here in this great ocean we call life. Know also, that there is a purpose to all this. 

May we all achieve balance with the New Moon in Libra on Tuesday, October 21st. With an opposition to Chiron and a square to Jupiter, we’re also being asked to consider the ways that we might be compromising ourselves in order to just fit in, not draw attention to ourselves, or rock the boat. This is a week to stand by and honor our convictions and our truth, without fear of judgment or retribution.

On Monday, October 13th (or Tuesday, depending on where you are in the world) Pluto will station at 0º of Aquarius, ending its 5-month retrograde phase. Although Pluto has been in Aquarius for over a year now, this is the first time that it stations direct while still in Aquarius. There is a certain gravitas that Pluto gains in this sign by stationing direct in the sign of universal brotherhood, freedom and equality. To read more, click below:

The Full Moon on Monday night is the first of 3 Super Moons, meaning that it will appear to be a little larger than usual, especially as it is rising and setting. It is also the Harvest Moon, which is the Full Moon closest to the Equinox. Hope for clear skies and look for the Full Moon rising in the East in the evening sky, and setting in the early morning on Tuesday.

Eclipses are not your ordinary New and Full Moons. They serve as demarcations and pivotal points in our lives that can even change our lives forever. We can feel their imminent effects weeks before, but the ramifications are felt for months, if not years afterwards. To read more about the aftermath, read this week’s update.

This week we have a partial Solar Eclipse in the very last degree of Virgo. The 2nd New Moon in Virgo this year, as well as the final Eclipse of the year, in that place where endings and beginnings merge.
