A deep water dive into the dark of the Moon

The Sun and Moon conjoin in Scorpio on Wednesday, October 26th, at 12:57 PM, PDT. This deep water dive has a Trickster guide, Mercury, and his lets-make-this-fun sidekick, Venus. With Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus traveling in Scorpio, we are in for intense discovery.

This powerful New Moon is loaded with potential for excess. Jupiter's cornucopia of earthly delights pours more of everything across the zodiac from lavish Taurus. Bad week for diets! But Jupiter's effect on this Moon is to give a warm, big, generous feeling of well-being (dare I say laziness?).

Scorpio's sleuthing loves the dark Moon--that moment when the Moon is temporarily unseen as it passes between our Earth and the Sun. Perfect time to "see" into the shadows of your mind for beliefs that limit your ability to be fully in partnership with another, for secret fears that Pluto has guarded. Scorpios are at home with secrets, easily kept, effortlessly hidden. Even from themselves.

The lovers, Leo Mars and Scorpio Venus, are star-crossed on Wednesday. Intensely attracted but needing to unload hidden tensions. Mars in fiery Leo makes interacting with watery Venus a risky venture, like a volcano erupting under water.

Friday to the rescue. With the fiery Moon now in outward-bound Sagittarius, we are readied for the adventure we'ver been preparing for--our faith moving mountains--rolling away the stones. Revolutionary road stretches out before us.
