New Moon in Scorpio at 2 degrees on October 25, 2022, at 3:49 AM PDT/6:49 AM EDT; Solar Eclipse at 4:00 AM PDT/7:00 AM EDT
The Scorpio New Moon arrives after the Venus Cazimi with the Sun and Saturn going direct on October 22, 2022. Scorpio season is the time of going deeper within for transmutation and transformation. The season of Autumn shifts your perspective inward to reflect on what needs to be let go of in order to be renewed, refreshed, and revitalized. The New Moon Solar Eclipse invites you to stir your inner cauldron and walk through the Veil into the Underworld to shed your skin.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse is in the power of the South Node in Scorpio. At 13 degrees, the South Node is reminding you that your higher intelligence is responsible for your lower self. The South Node forms a YOD with Chiron Retrograde at 13 degrees Aries. Chiron echoes that appreciation of the highest aspects of life depends on the acceptance of the lowest aspects of life. How can you reconcile your higher nature with your lower nature? How do they both show up in your life? Mars in Gemini wants to know!
Pluto is the modern ruling planet of Scorpio and brings the power of your Soul into the material world. Pluto activates the upcoming Mars Retrograde journey with a 150-degree Yod aspect. Mars receives this as a blessing because, in the sign of Capricorn, Mars is exalted. Mars sees the mountain he needs to climb to shift into a higher vibration. The key to Mars’s masculine energy is to see beauty in all of life’s experiences. As you adopt this practice, you will come to know that the true perception of beauty is a powerful spiritual experience.
Venus conjuncts the Solar Eclipse New Moon

Venus merges auric fields with the Sun and Moon. When Venus transits through Scorpio she becomes the Queen of the Underworld. She shapeshifts into Ishtar and Inanna undergoing her seven trials of tribulation. 2022 is the year of the Mother Goddess and it began with Venus in Retrograde in Capricorn. Now, the Queen descends into the Underworld to be eclipsed so she can rise again from the waters of life.
The combined triple energy activates Jupiter Retrograde at 0 degrees Aries. This opens up a portal of power for the Divine Feminine on the planet. Saturn’s retrograde journey occurred with both a Crescent Moon and Balsamic Moon that set the foundation for a more empowered Solar Eclipse New Moon in Scorpio. Jupiter expands the power of new beginnings by embodying the 1st degree of the Zodiac. The Sabian Symbol is, “A seal embraces a woman rising out of the water”. Who’s ready for rebirth?
Jupiter draws in Neptune’s power of soul compassion as he heads back into the sign of Pisces on October 29th. Neptune sends waves of spiritual love into the depths of Venus who carries the Divine Feminine into the underworld in her Sacral Chakra. Venus becomes exalted when she rises from the oceanic waters. This activation signals your soul to remember past talents from other lifetimes.

Mars Goes Retrograde!

The Mars in Gemini journey is the foundation or cornerstone of the next six months in the cosmic energy field with its upcoming retrograde journey beginning October 30th. Mars is the ancient ruler of Scorpio and makes his voice known by going into the Underworld on Samhain.
At the same time, Mars sits opposite the asteroid Lucifer in Sagittarius. The asteroid Lucifer (1930) represents the weak link of the Soul’s vibration in an astrology chart. It points to the area of life to develop before this incarnation is complete.
THE KEY: Mars is ACTION; Lucifer is WEAKNESS; Gemini is COMMUNICATION; Sagittarius is EXPLORATION. You are being guided to reconcile two forces within the lower and upper minds. Lucifer represents the ultimate battle between good and evil. Explore your Mental landscape to see where you are stuck in this battle. Develop your ability to see through illusion and elevate your mind to a place of sacred neutrality.

Scorpio= Death & Judgement

Death and Judgement are the Major Arcana in the Tarot that represent the energy of Scorpio and Pluto. The Death card is about endings, change, and what needs to be lost or let go of in order to transform. The Solar Eclipse is asking you to look deep within your emotional body to see what old patterns and aspects of your life are no longer serving you. The Universe is closing one door and opening another for you.
The Judgement Card is a wake-up call from the Cosmos that heralds a new day is dawning. In order to experience a rebirth, you are asked to look within and atone for mistakes made in the past. The act of atonement raises your consciousness so that you can become a servant of the Higher Good. The Eclipses are helping you to level up and reorient yourself on your Soul’s path. Are you feeling the need to make a life-changing decision? To feel more empowered, use your intuition and your higher intelligence to understand what choices to make.
