New Moon in Scorpio 2025

On November 19th at 10:47 PM PST, the Sun and Moon align at 28 degrees Scorpio 12 minutes, creating the New Moon. From now until that moment we have an opportunity to set our minds on all things Scorpio, and to set the most important goals for our own transformation.

This Fixed Water sign is quite powerful, ruled by Pluto, the agent of change. He says “we can do this the easy way, or the hard way; that’s up to you.” Pluto rules obsession, sex, taboos and hidden truths that must be revealed for deep personal growth. Therefore, Scorpio rules deep emotions that hold secrets that limit our transformation, like shame, blame, and anger. This sign deals with the subconscious, the cycles of death and rebirth, and intense change.

So, knowing the New Moon represents a new beginning, we look to this sign for what it represents in the zodiac, and where we need a personal tune up. Do not fear, this is the sign of the Scorpion or the Eagle, depending on your interpretation. The “hard way” is that of the Scorpion, hurting others and scurrying away. The “right way aka easier way” is to admit your own shortcomings, and one by one address them. Heck, make a list on paper, on your tablet or computer, of what you wish to manifest in your life. This is also the sign of shared values, as in monies or possessions you inherit or share with someone else.

There are many aspects to the Scorpio stellium on this New Moon; Mercury shares the 28 degree position of Scorpio EXACTLY! So, the Sun, Moon and Mercury align together, and are part of a Grand Water Trine. Jupiter at 25 degrees Cancer and Saturn at 25 degrees Pisces, AND Neptune at 29 degrees Pisces (phew!) create this aspect. These Water signs all deal with the emotional self, full of empathy, intuition and creativity. These planets support the deep nature of Scorpio, helping us to feel worthy of change. Jupiter in Cancer is like the strong Mother, clearing the path for her children to find their way easier. Saturn and Neptune are working together to soften our outlook into a more spiritual view, and to build a new reality built on self esteem.

There is one challenge here from Uranus at 29 degrees Taurus, as it opposes the Sun, Moon and Mercury. Uranus is in its final phase of this transit, ending in April of 2026. While transiting this sign it wants us all to take this time to reevaluate our values, our stability, and our resources. This planet of freedom wants to challenge old structures, in order to clear space for new possibilities. To see the outdated patterns we still abide by and whether they still serve us or if we should renew our plans. When it opposes the Sun, we behave impulsively, feel restless and unstable, dealing with a life full of changes. Opposite the Moon, we seek emotional freedom which can make life very unbalanced. And when it is opposite Mercury we have sudden events or advancements in progressive actions that can lead to communication breakthroughs, sudden ideas, or shocking statements, creating a dynamic but potentially erratic period for thinking and conversation. This transit encourages breaking out of old patterns of thinking and finding freedom to change your mind.

So keep an open mind as to the changes you need to make in order to make leaps and bounds toward the real you. The one who came here to make a difference, free from fear and self limitation. This is a time in our lives where we can use these energies to assist us more easily, as they've laid out the welcome mat to receive our greatest hopes, wishes and dreams to bring to fruition. Now is the time to set the plan for your unburdening. Take some time before this New Moon to clear your mind of the past and set a course for your future.

Full SuperMoon in Taurus 2025

On November 5th at 5:19 AM PDT we have a SuperMoon, the closest one of the year! The Sun is at 13 degrees Scorpio 23 minutes, and the Full Moon is at 13 degrees Taurus 23 minutes. If you look to the east you will see a HUGE Moon rise.

When we have a Full Moon we look back to when the Moon was new and what we had in mind at that time. It was new on April 27th of this year, when Spring was solid and wildflowers and bulbs were blooming. At that time, home and its comforts were the focus, after enduring winter. And looking forward to Summer and everything it brings was the target. With Venus ruling the Moon, emotional security and stability are paramount. Also important is beautification, whether it’s inside or outside. What was your goal at this time?

Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs, opposite each other in the zodiac. This axis represents the concept of ownership, value, and control. It explores the stressors between giving and receiving, creation and destruction, and the desire for security versus transformation. Taurus, ruled by Venus, (focused on possession and stability) and Scorpio, ruled by Mars and Pluto, (focused on death, rebirth, and transformation) both deal with values. The interplay between these signs represents the cycle of life, from the earthiness of Taurus to the intensity of Scorpio, and can manifest as powerful, entrenched themes in a person's life.

In this reading these luminaries have no other aspects from other planets. But, there is an interesting interplay between Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto called the “Mystic Rectangle” aspect. This configuration of planets contains two oppositions, two trines, and two sextiles; all between these four planets! It is a closed aspect pattern, meaning it is unaffected by other aspects in the reading. This energy brings a time of opportunity, challenge, and spiritual guidance.

First the oppositions. Mars at 0 degrees Sagittarius is opposite Uranus at 0 degrees Gemini. Exactly. When Mars is in this sign, you aim high and are not content simply with a quiet, secure existence. You like to stretch your limits, to see how far you can go, and to take risks. But when it opposes Uranus in Gemini you may have an explosive temper when your will is blocked. You have a superabundance of energy and need much personal freedom to do things in your own style and at your own pace. Jupiter at 25 degrees Cancer is opposite Pluto at 1 degree Aquarius. Jupiter expands and exaggerates the sign, making you want to “people please” and take care of everyone's feelings. But when it opposes Pluto in Aquarius, the sentimentality and emotional take is lost to a more objective take on transforming what limits you. The issues are all about opposite natures, beliefs and observations of how life works. The tensions they bring are here to transform us.

Now the trines to the rescue, pointing the way to wisdom, creativity, and soulful navigation. Mars in Sagittarius is trine Jupiter in Cancer. You can enjoy healthy competition and have a rather playful, good-humored attitude toward it. You may compete with yourself to see how far you can go or how much you can accomplish. You will like to keep stretching your limits under this influence. Uranus in Gemini is trine Pluto in Aquarius. Uranus in Gemini brings progressive thinking and curiosity, while Pluto in Aquarius has a strong emotional need to cooperate and unite together with others.

Last but not least the sextiles. Mars is sextile Pluto, giving us a strong sense of a mission, knowing instinctively that to achieve anything great, one must eliminate unneeded activities, and give oneself wholly to the goal one wishes to accomplish. And, Jupiter is sextile Uranus, potentially bringing breakthroughs, inventive energies, and radical ideas.

The challenges brought forth from this Mystic Rectangle via the oppositions are moderated by the trines and sextiles of the planets. We have a grand opportunity on this Super Full Moon. Look to yourself and how powerful you feel, or don’t feel. Why is that? Dig deep. What do you fear? Dream the bigger dream, and see where you can fit within it. Take a chance, do something different and step forward. Use all of these energies to climb higher than before, and celebrate your efforts! Life is all about the process, so hang in there and enjoy the ride:)

New Moon in Libra 2025

On October 21st at 5:25 AM PDT the Sun and Moon share the same degree; 28 degrees Libra 22 minutes. There are many fortunate aspects to these luminaries and some challenging ones.

Libra is a Cardinal Air Sign. It begins Autumn and is a sign of leadership. It marks a new beginning. The Air quality brings intelligence and mental acuity. In the zodiac it rules the 7th house of marriage, one-to-one relationships, counselors, partnerships, legal matters and open enemies. Now is the time to consider what we want to create with these energies. Look at your relationships; what would fill your heart with joy that you can do to improve these? How can you bring more harmony into your life, as Libra is the sign of balance?

Libra is ruled by the planet Venus, and beauty is very important to this sign. While considering what you wish to improve upon, look at yourself. How can you make yourself, inside and out, more beautiful? Add color, scent, all around you.

The first planet to aspect these luminaries is a square from Jupiter in Cancer. Jupiter exaggerates energies, enlarges them, and here we can take on more responsibility than we can shoulder, believing we can manage. Restlessness and discontent with everyday responsibilities and limitations in life can be troublesome now. Willing to overlook others' faults, sometimes one can overdo their charitableness under this influence. Remember the keyword now is BALANCE.

There is an aspect between these luminaries and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune called a “yod”. It is interpreted to mean the “finger of God” or the “finger of fate”. Saturn at 26 degrees Pisces traveling with Neptune at 0 degrees Aries (4 degrees separate these conjoined planets) quincunx the Sun and Moon. Also, Uranus at 0 degrees Gemini is quincunx the Sun and Moon. This creates an aspect that resembles a long triangle, and the point is the destination for a karmic mission. The finger of fate points to Libra; justice, harmony and new beginnings. We are at a pivotal time in our history, and this aspect seeks to enlighten us to the fact that we are all here together to live our beautiful dream of peace, harmony and love.

The last aspect to the Sun and Moon is Pluto at 1 degree Aquarius. This can bring an intensity of feelings that can make one willful, even fanatical about a belief, or suspicious of others motives and desires. There are powerful magnetic ties between yourself and those you care about, and you could become emotionally obsessed by another person. As always, take the high road, simmer down and observe your emotions, and honor Pluto with deep changes within yourself. It is meant to stir up what feels limiting in order to transform it. So do your part with an honest appraisal.

While Neptune continues its retrograde through Pisces, we are in the final stretch to observe what lies hidden beneath the surface that still triggers us. Go deep, we have until January 22nd, 2026 to continue to purge and reclaim our power before Neptune goes into the sign of Aries.
