The New Moon will be exact where I am just before midnight tonight which is 1st Nov here in NSW ,Australia.
NZ has to wait til about 1 AM on the 2nd but its in effect NOW.
Scorpios, this is your new beginning of the year when you begin to replenish your energies once more , regain your power, made easier by your planet Pluto now direct in the anaretic degree 29 Capricorn, soon to re-enter Aquarius on the 24th Nov where he will stay for 20 years.
This makes this New Moon very special and charged with a need to get something accomplished in your life with urgent necessity. Although this wont apply to all Scorpios no doubt but it will to a lot. It applies to ME also as I feel that sense of urgency.
My money is on all the Scorpios who are determined to do whatever it takes for your own special mission as you are empowered by Saturn at this time, also Uranus in your opposite sign but he's moving away from that position from the end of January 2025.
Uranus in Taurus has, since 2018 been trying to get many of you out of a rut, (Taureans too of course) and succeeded for the most part.. Those born at the end of the signs have a little way to go yet but by July 2025 Uranus moves into Gemini which is a whole other story I wont go into right now.
In the meantime Scorpios are instead of being restricted by too many “rules and protocol” , getting ready to enjoy more freedom of movement and some brand new inspirational ideas to color their lives in just a few weeks now.
Its all about to happen for you, when you become more of your truly unique selves. This New Moon paves the way. .
This New Moon is the new beginning for relating or relationships for Taureans of course.
While I have your attention I will tell you all about Venus, the Scorpio relationship planet, being ruler of Taurus who has been off adventuring wildly since last week, out of bounds, in Sagittarius until the 12th Nov and then in Capricorn, still OOB until the beginning of Dec. ( New Moon and Mars moving into Leo soon after).
While in Sag Venus tends to bring out more of our wild side anyway without the OOB, especially Taureans, Librans, and with Sagis she brings move attention , romance maybe, gifs, but the OOB part can exacerbate all of the above and bring unwanted attention to all of us. Controversy, eccentric or erratic behaviour, escapism or social awkwardness prevails and very unusual situations and experiences can occur, weird even. People may even LOOK different suddenly.
To explain Out of Bounds planets, I always use the equation of "planet plus Uranus" to get an idea of how a person or situation can be affected by out of bounds planets so with Venus we take the usual qualities and add the meanings of Uranus which includes the unpredictable, even shocking, clever, electric etc ..
This can affect any of us , not just Taureans and Libras etc and it definitely CAN AND IS affecting politics AND politicians as Venus rules that too. Venus is the ruling planet of K H so she is vastly affected at this time AND her contender has Taurus MC.
To those who may be unfamiliar with OOB planets I’ll recap a bit. A planet is considered out-of-bounds when it travels beyond the ecliptic, or beyond 23°27′ to the north or south declination so it is out of the suns control, thereby lacking the usual structure or rules of usual behaviour so it becomes the unknown and erratic in its effect.
I was born with an OOB Mars as many astrologers are making us a little weird at times so we go out on a limb every now and again. This is a mix of Mars and Uranus energies to put it in a nutshell.
So the same with Venus for all or some of us but in fact we will ALL notice that things did amp up in the department of overreactions in the last week. We need to take a little more care in these times with our own attitudes and reactions to others as its easier to offend and lose friends, each one of us in fact if we forget to observe ourselves so do a self check now and again and recognise that others could be feeling the same.
Mercury will go OOB at the beginning of Dec when in Sag, where s/he is pretty “out there” anyway . S/he will enter Sag in two days then Rx on the 25th , then OOB in Dec just after the Sag New Moon.
We can really expect a LOT of fun then as Mars will be turning around in LEO!
In the meantime we will continue enjoying this very in depth and cathartic Scorpio time of year .
Today Mercury trines Neptune, Scorpio to Pisces opening up multidimensional vistas as the veil between the heavens and Earth has become a little thinner this New Moon on the
Samhain celebrations (Beltane this side of the world).
Samhain is related to Halloween so Happy Halloween to those who celebrate and Happy Beltane the same to those in Aust and NZ!
Be careful what you wish for or put your mental energy towards as it may well happen!
