New Moon to Full Moon: October 21st - November 4, 2025

This is one of my favorite periods of the year to write about because we are entering Scorpio season! But before we get to that fabulous news, there are some significant cosmic happenings earlier in the week:

New Moon in Libra

On Tuesday, October 21st, we’ll experience a New Moon in the sign of Libra. (28 degrees of Libra, for those who are checking it against their birth charts). 

Since New Moons represent the beginning of a monthly lunar cycle, it is a wonderful time to plant energetic “seeds” that you hope to manifest. Your intentions can be focused on general Libra themes like relationships, beauty & aesthetics, justice & equity, diplomacy, or the idea of balance and how that applies to different facets of your life. 

The energy of a New Moon is always quieter and more internal. It invites reflection and self-inquiry. It’s possible for this lunation to feel a little intense because it is configured to the planet Pluto. Pluto calls us to explore our depths and to probe taboo topics that we might normally avoid. Additionally, the Moon’s position relative to the asteroid Chiron (pronounced like it starts with a K instead of a CH), makes this a good time to consider the unhealed wounds that we carry. While deep wounds won’t be mended in one lunar cycle, setting a conscious intention to work on one (or more) of them is a great first step. 

A Lucky “Grand Trine” configuration

From October 21 - October 27th, we’ll see a triangle pattern in the zodiac that astrologers call a “Grand Trine”. A Grand Trine is considered to be quite beneficial because it means that energy is flowing smoothly between specific planets. This week, it’s a whole lot of them → Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Symbolically, this offers us the opportunity for controlled growth and structured expansion. This is a fertile time for both thought and action. If you’ve got something brewing and you need a little luck to make it happen, be on the lookout now! This may feel particularly helpful for anyone with planets between 22 - 29 degrees of any water sign. 

Scorpio Season

Cue Lana Del Rey’s “Must be the Season of the Witch”. October 23rd kicks off 30 days of perfectly dark, moody, deep, and soul-stirring energy. To me, it’s no coincidence that things like Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, All Soul’s Day, and the end of Daylight Savings time all occur during this season. 

Here are some things we can all do during Scorpio season, no matter if this energy is prominent in your birth chart or not:

Face your Fears - This can be a fun one, because maybe you start with something small like visiting a Haunted House! As you conquer the less consequential fears, facing the bigger or more impactful ones starts to feel a bit more doable. 

Initiate Self-Healing - This could include talk therapy, energetic healing, coaching, or other transformative healing practices. Consider how you might acknowledge, accept, and integrate the parts of yourself that you consider more challenging. 

Work on Forgiveness - We love Scorpio energy but it can be grudging or vengeful when not in balance. Remember that holding on to anger only disrupts your own peace.

Honor & Prioritize Sexuality - Scorpio season should be a sultry, sexy time of year...how can you honor your sexuality, your needs, and lean into pleasure in safe, supportive ways?

Focus on Business collabs, Tapping into others’ resources, and Manifestation - Use intuition to find people on your same wavelength. Consider who has the resources to help you achieve your goals. It can also be a beneficial season to look for a loan, donations, do crowdfunding, or deal with matters of inheritance. 

Investigate! - Scorpio energy is about seeing beneath the surface. If something seems off in a relationship, business situation, transaction, etc...dig until you find the truth.

Also, wishing a happy early birthday to all our O + A Scorpios!

Mercury Retrograde (upcoming)

Lastly, I want to make you aware that the planet Mercury will go retrograde in a couple weeks. I will discuss more of the beneficial aspects of this in the next newsletter. That being said, I tend to feel the irritating effects of Mercury’s retrograde before it actually starts, and maybe you will too. So don’t lose your cool if you misplace your car keys in the refrigerator or completely forget to go to your dentist appointment. These things happen, and they’re usually a low-grade annoyance rather than an earth shattering event ;)
