The Dark Moon in Scorpio perfects overnight @ 2:02 AM EST, 2nd House of Venusian-ruled Taurus. This realm may prompt us to re-evaluate our finances, possessions, and stability to prepare for the New Moon in Scorpio early Monday morning.

The Moon is considered in fall when transiting Scorpio; thus, we may experience difficulty expressing our authentic nature. 

Full article

Early morning the Moon enters a conjunction with Mercury Rx in Scorpio. We may experience a moody disposition off-setting our logical assessments. It’s not the time to make major life decisions and/or enter into long-term agreements. However, it is the perfect time to sit down and research the information needed to make positive decisions at the right time. 

As mentioned above, it may not the be most opportune time to express how we feel, unless to a trusted confidant who understands us. Avoid superficial discussions or disputes which won’t matter in the long run. 

This aspect separates throughout the day, restoring clarity as much as possible within this lunar placement, calling us to adjust our attitude and/or perspective when the Moon inconjuncts Saturn Rx in Aries mid Sunday morning.  

The bottom line is to avoid ennui by focusing on trivial matters beyond our control. Turn our attention toward more productive thoughts and research that will actually serve us in the future. A moment is not forever. Nor is a hour.

💫New OOB Moon in Scorpio perfects overnight @ 2:02 AM, EST: As addressed in yesterday’s Dark Moon discussion, the Moon is opposite its Taurian exaltation and considered in its fall; thus, we may be uncomfortable expressing our true nature, which may be for the best with Mercury Rx in this intense, emotional sign. 

As a notation, the Moon travels OOB -S Monday afternoon. More info regarding an OOB Moon will be linked in Monday’s Nerd Report.

The New Moon in Scorpio perfected this morning @ 2:02 AM, EST. Yesterday’s discussion on this is linked below if you missed it yesterday.

The Moon isn’t alone in this lunation; the Sun conjunct at the time of perfection adds the power of inner self. I’ve said this often, never underestimate what cannot be seen—the wind, an undercurrent (Scorpio), and the Moon (oceanic commander). The darkness of this New Moon creates the perfect atmosphere for ritual magic to manifest new beginnings.

Early afternoon through evening, challenging energy enters through lunar squares to Mars and Jupiter in Leo. The latter initiates a nine-hour void of course that lasts throughout the evening into early Tuesday morning. Any rituals you’d like to perform should be done so prior to the VC period. 

During the square to Mars, there’s a potential for escalating conflict and/or impulsive actions that may result in physical injuries. The challenge of this transit is to express our self without obliterating relationships. 

Overlook the little things and focus on bigger issues that actually fuel smaller ones. More importantly, we should realize that not everything or one is a personal threat. Weigh the balance prior to speaking or acting. 

During the square to Jupiter, those little things that may have disturbed us earlier are no longer of consequence, having been replaced by a more benevolent demeanor. The power of positive thinking becomes apparent during this transit. 

A desire for knowledge this evening may have us pursuing intellectual avenues involving religion and/or philosophy.  Avoiding arrogance is important here. No one likes to be in the company of a know-it-all. Read the room. 

Lastly, Venus Rx in Libra sextile Mars in Leo early Tuesday morning increases our desire for physical and/or emotional intimacy in relation/friendships. Tension and anxiety are in the breakroom, leaving us amiable with others in the sitting room. 

Creativity and beautification projects are highly favored. We are infused with energy and it’s the perfect season to tidy up the yard, rearrange furniture, or repair something torn or broken. A sense of accomplishment flourishes. 

Scorpionic energy is intense and can feel overwhelming, particularly if we’re not used to it. What we cannot see, or control can test our resolve and belief in ourselves. We may feel penetrated, as though our darkest secrets are being revealed. Yet, we will have the courage and strength to focus on and set manifestation in motion.

We should ask ourselves what it is that we desire to conquer and thus transform in our lives to ignite that sense of accomplishment.

Venus Rx in Libra sextile Mars in Leo requires careful consideration prior to spending or entering long-term commitments and/or agreements. It’s also important to avoid confrontation or overexerted efforts to make a good impression. 

Putting our ego aside and assisting others is a perfect tool to navigate this energy. We can opt for solitude consisting of preparatory research for an upcoming project or idea or creativity in the form of art or home improvements. 

Balance impulsiveness by relating to the needs of others. Ingenuity without ego is powerful during this time and can attract allies, especially this evening.

Mercury will station direct 05°02’ Scorpio Friday morning @ 10:54 AM, EST, 10th House of Saturnian-ruled Capricorn. Of course, there is an acclimation period of around 9 days or so-called post-shade, so don’t expect immediate bells and whistles just because Mercury is stationing direct. 

Recap: Mercury stationed retrograde at 20°58’ Scorpio and retraced 15°. As it crosses these degrees for the third and final time in Scorpio, take a moment to reflect, organize, and prepare to move forward when this period has cleared. If you’re familiar with the Sabian Symbols, read each one for the applicable degrees if you didn’t for the retrograde period. They provide vital insights into the energy of that degree. 

Move with the planet’s natural rhythm rather than jumping right into something just because the retrograde period has ended. Slowly integrate adjustments. 

This is not a time to resolve issues or make life-altering decisions unless aligned with the planet’s natural trajectory.

We all know the attributes of the 12th House of endings and subconscious, to the point of listing them on our fingers: Sorrow, suffering, limitations, frustrations, seclusion, confinement, spiritual debts (karma), escapism, and so forth and so on — it’s the dustbin of the zodiac where we tend to sweep away experiences too painful to face or we refuse to acknowledge. However, it’s also a highly spiritual realm where we discover our hidden strength of endurance, charity, sympathy, and public welfare. 

Now that we’re girded with our hidden strength of endurance, let’s focus on the triple conjunction: OOB -S Lilith and Pholus perfects @ 10:55 AM, joined by the OOB -S Moon @ 11:44 AM. These three will remain partile throughout early afternoon. 

We also know the story of Lilith, including how she was villainized. Originally, Lilith was a handmaiden to the goddess Inanna in Sumaira; however, Hebraic tradition records her as Adam’s first wife, who self-exiled rather submit to subjugation. 

Lilith believed both her and Adam were equal, having been born of the same earth; however, because of her rebellion, she ended up being portrayed as an evil demoness who killed children, threatened pregnant women, and seduced men to destroy them because she refused to compromise her beliefs. 

In essence, she was the original suffragette.

Greek mythology lists Pholus as a wise centaur and friend of Heracles, contradicting the widely known description of centaurs as uncivilized. Pholus, like the wounded healer Chiron, was highly civilized—an unusual aspect for a centaur to possess. 

Centaurs represent places or situations in our chart where we are vulnerable to succumbing to temptation or provocation. We can impulsively trip ourselves by not weighing the consequences, or turn to escapism (12th house) to avoid the issue, initiating our downfall. 

Pholus represents transformation through triggers, profound revelations which lead to changes in our lives via an unexpected epiphany, turn of events, or awakening that requires a course-correction in an unexpected manner. The "plot twists" in movies and novels hold no comparison to those of our lives at times.

This conjunction, occurring ironically on Goddess Day (Friday 13th), combines the powerful energy of Lilith’s personal independence with Pholus’ revelatory transformation—together they have the ability to fuse rather than destroy, accomplished through consensus and equal resolution of power-struggles. 

The OOB -S Moon joins this conjunction @ 11:44 AM, adding a somewhat repressed emotional state. Communication is essential to complement the energy of this triple conjunction. What we hide from others, we hide from ourselves; what we hide from ourselves has the power to unknowingly control us. 

Failure to express how we feel leads to compromising our values to keep the peace, landing us back on square one in the game of resolution.

Leaning toward spiritual or mystical literature can be enlightening and comforting at this time.

Venus has had quite the retrograde this year, initially stationing Rx in Scorpio October 03, only to re-enter Libra Oct 25th. During this retrograde between balance and intensity, it crossed back over 8° Libra and 9° Scorpio. Now it will re-cross them for the third and final time.

Reminder: Triple Capricorn Conjunction in the 12th: Moon, Lilith, and Pholus | Mercury and Venus station Direct in Libra, all previously discussed and linked below if you missed those discussions. 

💫 Today is History’s Dakini Day, or Day of the Goddess.

Before patriarchy began sinking deep into the roots of civilization, Friday 13th was known as ‘The Day of the Goddess,’ to pay respect and heed to the Feminine deities like Venus. As a symbol of rebirth that females are blessed with, Friday the 13th was a day all for women. In more than one way, the day gives all its glory to the Feminine power.

The number 13 represents the female ovulation period (considered a grand phenomenon as menstruating women are at the peak of their energy and power) because just like 13 lunar cycles a year, women also have 13 menstrual cycles a year. All the feminine foundations to this day started to shake loose when menstruating women started experiencing shame in society for bleeding every cycle.

The day was to celebrate women and their sexual energy; however, when the patriarchy found its way into civilization, the very day that celebrated women became a symbol of misfortune because of its association with the feminine. Even though these newly minted beliefs made no sense as we all possess our feminine sides, not only women, but the target was indeed singular sex.

Contrary to popular belief, the number 13 will bring magic into your life. Many buildings do not have a 13th floor, and some even consider their 13th birthday unlucky. In rare cases, the perceived negative notion of the number can cause triskaidekaphobia, an intense fear of the number 13.

But 13 is actually a celestial number, especially in Judaism. It is the age when young boys and girls celebrate their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, meaning they are on their journey to enter adulthood and ready to participate in public worship. It’s also considered very fortunate in Tibetan culture and is said to be a divine number and often used in children’s stories.

The day was also a reminder for hopeless individuals to carry on as a day for sinners to repent their bad deeds that will be forgiven in heaven after they complete 13 rounds of prayers.

In numerology, the number 13 symbolizes change. This change is not necessarily negative but most essential to a person’s growth. Many people are scared of the uncertainty that change brings along. But it’s a positive time in their life. Transformation and development take us out of our comfort and help us get better and become an evolved version of ourselves. Friday the 13th is an occasion for humans to harness the positive energy of the moon. 

Moon-gazing and talk about anything on your mind. The practice will open your mind and heart to bring happiness to your life. The Moon represents the divine feminine and maternal vibe. It gives warmth to us and looks after us like a mother. 

It is a great time to connect with the maternal figure in your life. This could be your actual mother, sister, or best friend. Make it an evening to bond over shared secrets, aspirations, and goals for the future.

Mars joins the conjunction between the Jupiter and the South Node in Leo @ 25° in the 11th House of group relations and social consciousness early morning. This is the realm of emotional relationships, our desires, goals, our capacity to receive love, and finances earned from our professions. It’s also the domain of circumstances beyond our control, which implies acceptance. 

This triple conjunction will remain partile until early Monday, when Mars begins to separate. 

The South Node here represents innate patterns involving relationships: Personal, professional, or on a collective level (clubs, groups, memberships, etc.). If the past has proven difficult regarding authenticity when among others—choosing instead to remain in the shadows of support—our challenge is to step forward and be seen: The South Node in Leo—into the spotlight. 

The 25th degree is associated with Mars and represents communicating our personal goals combined with the energy and drive we need to plan accordingly. Pursuing our vision with assistance of others is paramount. Resist any desire to isolate; no man is an island pertains heavily here. 

The challenge here is twofold: Create and maintain a balance between our own desires and those of others; and not losing our authentic voice. Martyrdom serves no one in the long run. 

Jupiter in all of this? Well, it’s going to expand whatever energy we create. Be it collaborative or the avenue of the loner, where we may discover ourselves more isolated than ever, increasing insecurity and doubts about our chosen path. I guess the question would be what frame of mind were we in when we opted to separate ourselves? Was it our ego, or a true need for solitude?

Consider carefully the path you choose over the next few days. There is middle ground if we opt to seek it out. These are not the days for selfishness. 

The Mars/Jupiter conjunction will perfect Monday morning @ 1:24 AM, EST.

Astraea will enter Pisces Monday, November 16 @ 1:51 PM via the 12th, the natural home of Neptunian-ruled Pisces. 

Astraea in Pisces

Astraea symbolizes an unwillingness to compromise our ne plus ultra by holding onto hope. In Pisces, the sign of understanding, compassion and ascension, our personal pursuit of justice and virtue is solely based on the emotional and spiritual principle, seeking the absolute in love. We may discover ourselves defending an ideal long after others have given up hope of its manifestation. 

We may also find ourselves, or at least our unwavering determination, facing resistance because our goal of a utopian-like coupling (spiritual or romantic) can appear in the form of abjuration. This pivoting point is where we decide to hold onto a destructive pattern or illusion of reality much longer than we should have, causing potential stagnation. Or we can opt to release this outdated ideal and move into a more productive territory.
