‘Mother and Three Children’ By Elizabeth Nourse 1906 {{PD}}
The 3rd is a Good Day To . . . use Love to Heal. Translate this into any form, practice, or application you like, but make sure it’s a pure intent that seeks only to nourish and repair–that’s where all our rewards come from, today. Take special efforts to treat others as partners or equals, and be especially considerate of the mate.

The 2nd is a Good Day To . . . plan for, discuss, and communicate about the future. Somehow the mentality is in touch with that wisest part of ourselves today–that part that refuses to entertain nonsense or the negative–and though we are aware of a disorienting disconnect from our own instincts when we try to go on autopilot (so don’t), we are otherwise able to make significant gains when exploiting our status or current roles. This is one of those days that may show you there are perfectly good uses for a Mercury retrograde, and though it’s not the time to act on things, it is just right for laying out exactly the way you want it to be.

‘”I am half-sick of shadows”, said the Lady of Shalott’ By John William Waterhouse 1915 {{PD}}
The 1st is a Good Day To . . . review what we’ve brought forward from the past that’s truly worthy and worthwhile; today that’s where we find treasure of all kinds, reward, profit, or discover love we may not have been aware of. With Merc retro in Scorpio we should expect this to stir up a lot of emotion, but it should also bring opportunity, and perhaps show us just how ‘lucky’ we really were/ are. Actions and choices are inspired by ideals and fired by the imagination, and it’s in taking personal responsibility for our own lives that we are able to realize, release, and then make use of our assets and the current situation in the best way possible.

‘Les Bretonnes aux Ombrelles’ By Émile Bernard 1892 {{PD}}
The 31st is a Good Day To . . . embrace the dark mental precipice we’ve plunged over with Merc’s turnaround in Scorpio. The Messenger’s reversal of apparent direction in Water may make us question our feelings, may make us obsess over a love (or hate) relationship, may make us insist on getting to the bottom of a mystery, may compel us to anxiously shout the question, ‘What’s in the box?’–in short, it will prompt thoughts and situations that ignite a persistent desire to reach an emotional conclusion by taking a deep dive. We assess the subjects of the House in the natal chart where the reversal occurs in light of how we feel–and if we’ve got it together, we use the retro period to make plans to change matters so they better align with how we’d like to feel. It’s a period when we can re-make the life to suit the emotional nature–or at least modify it so that we find a sense of satisfaction in some Scorpio related area, either in the largest way (through subjects that fall under the sign) or through matters of the House placement unique to us and pinpointed by the natal chart.
It’s important to note that, particularly today, we can plan or communicate in ways that lay out great actions or choices to be made in future–and it’s also a day when we can benefit by making the most of current roles, status, or empowerment options. We thrive on Self-responsibility, and we reach the end of the day having modified our beliefs or our social role so that it’s much healthier for us.

‘The Tower of Babel’ By Pieter Bruegel the Elder 1563 {{PD}}
The 30th is a Good Day To . . . be aware. Obvious, right? That’s something we’re always trying to do, but today it’s especially important to be conscious of what’s roiling beneath the surface–particularly below the surface of your own mind.
The interweaving of contacts is noteworthy, with a stationary Mercury caught up to and conjoined by Venus in Scorpio, with both opposed Sedna and novile Mars, and then throw in Mercury’s parallel to Pluto. The scenario is one of a becalmed mind filled with a stark and terrible beauty, one that aligns with and reflects our deepest held fears, angers, and hopes, especially those attuned to change, re-birth, and the re-making of our world. Too, this mental outlook rejects the instinctual nature and those things we ‘know but don’t know’; the result may be that rather than this being an entirely contained, individual experience, it is externalized, with other people, circumstances, and events taking on some of the parts. Thinking, then, may be a heavy pastime, one where we chase the same thoughts round and round–or one where we are inspired by relationships, beauty, even financial gain, but find it hard to plot a path forward, so alienated are we from our own instinctual responses, and this is so even as we are moved to act or choose in some pretty amazing, clever, or inventive ways. So, when Merc retrogrades, we may find ourselves in a really good position, without being entirely aware of how we got there! Or we could find we’ve ‘cart before the horse’-d it, and take our revisions from there.

‘Allegory of Fortune’ By Salvator Rosa c1650 {{PD}}
The 29th is a Good Day To . . . not press your luck. Stick with what you know to be smart or practical–that’s where significant payoff is possible. And remember, just because you believe it, doesn’t mean it’s true, and certainly, others aren’t required to support your personal beliefs–so be sure to sift facts from the belief filter in which they get caught.
Aspect of the Day: Venus conjoins Pallas. It’s a day for Beautiful Warriors–just keep in mind what you read above.

‘Obstruction’ By Jane Sutherland 1887 {{PD}}
The 28th is a Good Day To . . . take cover, be ready for the unexpected, or be ready to think on your feet–it all depends on what parts of both the inner and outer life are still being rejected. The New Moon was supposed to dig these areas up and present us with circumstances to which we could respond–but if we aren’t yet through the process, we aren’t yet ready to take the necessary steps to move into the future.
Today requires a number of things: a reassessment of values and/ or relationships, a change in thinking, a willingness to explore new creative avenues, and a goal of ferreting out discrepancies between our energy commitments (time, what we honor, investment) and our actual priorities (in what life areas we spend our time and attention, rather than where we say we want to spend our time and attention). I know, that’s a bulky and too vague list, but it’s meant to spur awareness of, more than anything else, where we’re continuing to reject ourselves and our genuine needs. Face those areas, and it all becomes clear.

The 27th is a Good Day To . . . accept real-world boundaries, and put relationships above principles. Those aren’t always the best parameters to use in meeting the world, but today they are the ones that will keep us safe and keep us aligned with what really matters–and what else is there?

The New Moon perfects on October 27 at 4 Scorpio 24 at 8:37 PM PDT. It falls in opposition to Uranus, which is only 12 minutes from being conjoined by Earth (always spotted in the flat chart exactly opposite the Sun); it’s also in wide, separating quincunx to Chiron, and sesquiquadrates the Black Moon Lilith point that currently falls in Pisces. We’re on the verge of a shock, revelation, or perhaps just a burgeoning emotional experience that launches efforts toward fulfilling a higher goal or purpose. It’s a goal or purpose with a spiritual component or ‘mission’ (but then what do we do that doesn’t have that?) and it seeks deep and meaningful change or correction (Scorpio).
What we’ve ignored or denied about the creative life, the ideals, the need to express our originality and uniqueness, or to be part of the larger Collective make for a difficult Lunar event, one we might want to frame as ‘testing’ (especially if events are perceived as negative–the idea of being tested then shows us the important part is our response, not the event itself). The New Moon challenges the current feeling nature, and it’s from this tension that the new and likely startling events or viewpoint arise. New Moon circumstances irritate the wound, but also suggest ways to respond and adjust, offering a fresh take on an old injury to the ego or the ability to take action or to lead (Chiron in Aries).
The theme of this New Moon is ‘Disruption’, but as to whether effects of this are positive, negative, or a mixed bag is entirely dependent on the way the NM interacts with the natal chart. One thing we know with a Scorpio New Moon: we may have to go through an emotional ordeal, or experience primal feelings that take us to the depths of human nature (the Moon, Scorpio as a Water sign), but we emerge from that renewed, refreshed, remade–certainly not the same, in terms of the feeling outlook or perceptions.
‘Seal Rock, California’ By Albert Bierstadt 1872 {{PD}}
The Sabian symbol for the New Moon is: ‘A Massive Rocky Shore Resists The Pounding Of The Sea’. I suspect this describes our emotional reaction to Lunar events. We may resist suddenly changed circumstances, particularly emotional ones, or it may be that we resist implementing what ‘the group’ offers or demands, or what our own originality urges us to risk. This may represent an extreme instance when we must choose between rigid and complete defiance and ‘going with the flow’. Just know there’s no right answer, just what’s right for you.
Bonus: if you have a natal point or placement at 18-21 Gemini (any minutes past the 21 degree point or before 18 means this isn’t filling in the configuration, and so isn’t valid for you), the New Moon offers a very personal result centered on the uncovering of or facing of some ignored, denied, or enraging issues, possibly resulting in gossip, revelation, or network shifts or support (Gemini) that brings a new emotional state or feeling, one that could be a shock, or that shifts the emotional perceptions to a ‘Higher Mind’ state or that unites you with or marks you as entirely separate from ‘the group’ (Uranus opp). The involved natal body or point energies combine with Black Moon Lilith’s righteousness (justified or not) or rage to create the New Moon emotional result, or if one rejects her energies, the act of denial or ignoring of reality forms the base to a Fist of God/ Thor’s Hammer, with the New Moon bringing the result of that interaction.
Or, if you have something at 2 Gemini, it forms the base for a Finger of God with Chiron, the New Moon’s apex suggesting the potential for healing, especially to the way you think about something or interact, socially or sharing information, with others.

‘Jockeys on Horseback Before Distant Hills’ By Edgar Degas 1884 {{PD}}
The 26th is a Good Day To . . . act, choose, or assert yourself according to what you know is wise, smart, or practical, and you can’t go wrong. Well, actually, you could go wrong, if your thinking on the future is cattywampus, or if you don’t trust the most spontaneous and unique parts of yourself. But otherwise, you’re off to the races.
And one other thing: accidents, both lucky and tragic, occur when we stray too far from our authentic Self and our most genuine forms of expression. Just be aware.
