Saturn retrograde ends, Scorpio mafia in the sky is causing a ton of commotion, fire signs are stirring up drama, b*tches are getting exposed for lying, and we're all going to be so, so tired when this week is through. But things are looking up after this week, as always, hang in there. <3
Monday, October 30th
Responsibility and duty is what is getting us out of bed to start the week! The Moon enters Gemini at 8:08am PDT and immediately squares Saturn in Pisces. Saturn brings slowness, astringency, restriction, fatigue and rules all things that love to “sneak up on us.” The Moon in Gemini highlights social obligations and communications, while Saturn’s harsh aspect to her brings unpreferable moments to those obligations.
It’s certainly a tiring Monday to communicate and bond with others. It is, however, a good day to plan for the long-term. The Moon’s aspect to Saturn can be put to use when communicating or planning things far in advance. Saturn is nice to people who plan accordingly and prioritize wisdom and strength of will.
Tuesday, October 31st
Mercury is in charge this Tuesday, as it rules the two planets who reflect the active events on earth- Venus & the Moon. The Moon in Gemini separates from her harsh square to Saturn in Pisces, making time feel much faster than Monday. The Moon in Gemini trades her square with Saturn for a square with Venus in Virgo.
High attention to detail is likely, as well as debates over the facts & logistics of things. Venus offers more beneficence than Saturn, so we’ll enjoy the conversations today much more than yesterday- even if they only scratch the surface of what we actually want to say.
Mercury is in Scorpio ruling both of these planets, reflecting the dark-sided nature of things influencing our schedules & routines today (fitting for Halloween, no?).
Wednesday, November 1st
The Moon lingers in Gemini for the first part of Wednesday before she enters her watery home sign, Cancer, at 2:30pm PDT. The Moon finds solace and comfort in her home sign, especially after the hustle & bustle that Venus & Saturn put her through the previous two days.
The Moon faces a harmonious connection with Saturn in Pisces today which slows things down to a comfortable level, puts us in situations that utilize maternal wisdom, and emphasizes the nostalgia of past Novembers. We’re focused on connecting with others authentically, and likely these connections turn into hours-long conversations, ruminating on the past and getting in our feels.
The Moon also shares a similar connection with the Sun in Scorpio! A Sun/Moon trine in water signs make our thinking parts & feeling parts come into alignment with one another. Our long-term focus is concerned with the protection of resources , while our short-term focus is centered around making select moments safe & affirming of life.
Wednesday night has big “catching up on 2 weeks of sleepless nights & treating myself to expensive doordash because it's too cold” energy.
Thursday, November 2nd
The Moon in Cancer moves to make a trine to both Mercury and Mars in Scorpio, reflecting the sending & receiving of ominous or serious messages. As Mercury & Mars near each other in the sky, news about war & death is set to increase. Exposés are likely, especially concerning leaders in war or war-like matters. A lunar sextile to Jupiter in Taurus eases some of the tension by physical support, though it may seem like a short-term fix to a long-term issue.
The Moon’s recent connections to Mars, Mercury, and the Sun in Scorpio brings to mind this passage written by Vettius Valens on his interpretation of those 3 stars in alignment (in the context of a birth chart but still):
“Mars, the sun, and Mercury make men of much experience, inventive in business enterprises. Although careworn and unsuccessful in the goal of their calculations, they prevail unexpectedly. Therefore such men are mentally unstable, reckless, active, hot-tempered; after rushing against their enemies and bringing charges of wrongdoing or damages against them, these men then change their minds. Occasionally they have a cowardly and despicable character. They control their emotions well, play a part, and yield to men whom they should not yield to. For the most part, they have a livelihood subject to ups and downs. On coming into another’s control, they curse their own Fortune.” (Valens, Anthology, Book 1, pg. 22)
Alternatively, the Sun in Scorpio sends an aspect of an opposition to Jupiter in Taurus. This alignment marks the halfway point in Jupiter’s current retrograde, reflecting a climax in events & stories associated with Jupiter’s reversal that began on September 4th. Look to see where Taurus/Scorpio houses are in your chart to determine what topics represented by this alignment!
Friday, November 3rd
The Moon moves away from the intensity of her connection to Saturn plus 3 planets in Mars-ruled Scorpio, and shares the aspect of a sextile with Venus in Virgo. Venus offers sweet relief and a chance to connect with others about practical ways to handle emotional issues. Friendly gestures, dry but light conversation, and an appreciation for the details of things is likely.
The Moon’s trine to Mercury perfects today, so expect Thursday’s intensity to wrap up after today (though the impression of Thursday is bound to linger for a while).
Saturday, November 4th
The Moon enters Leo, the Sun’s fiery home, at 12:21am PDT. We’re offered a much more extroverted environment come Saturday, and the desire to confront others increases with the Moon’s position in a fire sign. The Moon applies a square to the Sun in Scorpio & Jupiter in Taurus all day, reflecting an internal boiling-up feeling that makes us feel stuck in inaction until we feel ready. The night time is much more active, offering visibility & generosity. If you have a fixed rising sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) expect a LOT to happen this Saturday- things that concern you, your home life, your reputation, and your close contacts.
In exciting news, Saturn finally stations DIRECT!!!!!!!!!!! Saturn (planet of restriction, responsibility, limits, the unknown, chronic pain/illness, agriculture, older places, antiques, the elderly etc) stations direct at 0 degrees, 30 minutes at 12:03am PDT. This retrograde has impacted all Saturn-ruled people & houses since June 17th of this year. The massive re-writes that Saturn made us all do come to a close, and we begin to make forward progress in the areas of life ruled by Saturn.
Sunday, November 5th
The intensity and action only begins Saturday night and continues into Sunday! The Moon squares Mercury & Mars in Scorpio, bringing to light the “messages” sent/received on Thursday this past week. The last time the Moon made this same aspect to both Mercury & Mars in Scorpio was two weeks ago, on Sunday October 22nd. Expect similar themes to be brought up and presented in more spirited ways. In other words, Leo's are exacerbating the underlying issues & bringing out the drama of it all.
Fixed signs continue to be the main character, reflective of the steady/stable things in life gaining priority & extra meaning in the events of this weekend.
