We have a brilliantly gorgeous full moon in Taurus on Tuesday, October 27th, at 8:05 a.m. edt. It is waxing intently, as we speak, into magnificence! This is a moon you want to use to charge and energize all your crystals and trinkets. Put out under the moon anything you want to see come alive with this awesome energy. Put it right out there. Under the moonlight. Under the starlight. All. Night. Long. It's going to be a magical night.
Keep in mind the moon is in earthy Taurus. Jupiter, Venus, and Mars are in earthy Virgo. Solid, stable, rich, and comfortable. The sun is in Scorpio. Water. Dark, glossy, shiny, shimmery. Believe it or not, there is excellent potential here for some good stuff. We have a very tight conjunction of the 3 planets in Virgo, aspecting Pluto and Neptune quite nicely. The glamour and richness of Taurus, the solid backing and no-nonsense of Virgo, combined with the intense magnetism of Scorpio, and the dreamy fantasy of Neptune, allow for very, very nice and enjoyable energy. There is a hidden aspect available (Mercury) to bring out some secret talents. So. If that is you....
It doesn't matter if you are penniless. For a moment in time, you are richer than a king.
Think luxury. Think rich. Think feasting and singing.
Think Camelot.
Go out on the town. Do it up, And do it well. Put aside all your troubles. Go out in the moonlight and "crush a cup" (Shakespeare). Make a memory. I'm not going to lie to you. There are some tense nerves here with this one, too. After all, it is a full moon. The sun is in Scorpio, and Pluto is activated. Forget about all that. Seriously. However, I definitely would not be with someone you don't want to be with. For sure. Don't waste a good opportunity with someone who will bring you down.
With Neptune adding to the mix, there is an element of fantasy, theatricality, imagination. Focus on the good times...."those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance forever and a day."

By later in the day on Tuesday, it gets even better, with some great energy forming a grand trine in the sky. Just watch out for flying tempers, and impulsive mishaps. No matter. It's all good.
With the Faerie Holiday weekend coming up, Samhaim, All Hallow's Eve, and the harvest, it is time to celebrate one last time before we bunker down and burrow into the earth.

The New Moon is in Libra on Monday, October 12th, at 8:06 p.m. edt.
Let's get right to the point, and then I'll explain.
This new moon in Libra focuses on relationships. The good. The bad. The ugly. Yes, of course, there are other things, too, but with 3 planets in Virgo, 3 in Libra, all with a focus on challenges in relationships, this fact just simply cannot be denied. As I study the sky for this moment, I am in awe of the hushing of the angels and the stillness of the faeries. I just can't quite grasp that it really doesn't seem like a new moon to me. But it is. So it is a time to start anew.
It is a time for forward motion. The intensity of the last 3 years has brought us to the final waning of it all. The release. The regurgitation. Pluto is out of retrograde. Saturn is now in Sagittarius. Venus will be clipping along at a steady speed. Mercury is direct. By December 25th, all planets will be direct. We felt a sense of sttillness there for awhile, after it all, and especially since the dramatic entrance of the last Aries full moon. The eclipse, the retrogrades, the clashing of the giants, all of it has left us desperate for peace. And so it is. Libra will desire it. Virgo has prepared for it.
However. You will no longer be able to pretend that some things you know that just don't seem quite right really are. If you don't get what I'm saying, you won't. There is no other way to put it.
Within 2 minutes of the exact new moon, the sky moves quickly into a mutable grand cross. The juggling act begins. The balance must happen. The Virgo preparation for the Libra balance must take place to achieve a sense of peace, completion, accomplishment. To move forward into a lighter vibration, you must take the necessary inspired action steps to commence. Hence, this is why we are offered this new moon. I'm imagining that Libra is here to coax us to bring all that hard work we have been drudging through the last 2 months or so to a level of a little bit of ease, so to speak, but only after we have come to the realization that our partnerships or relationships have morphed so unrecognizably (in most cases), that we almost don't know who's who or what's what.
Now. Good gracious, what do those two ideas possibly have in common? Self growth, personal progress....vs.....friends, lovers, enemies, comrades? Let's rethink this. Virgo has caused us to mold our dreams and goals and necessitites into a workable machine of daily living and doing (Virgo perks up at this with satisfaction). Rewind briefly through the last 3 years or so. Total transformation. I'm sure you barely recognize the people in your life, including yourself. And through all this, you have discovered dreams and desires that you want, you must, you will see, manifested through to the end. Bravo! Well done! Just in the nick of time, when the journey has nearly ended, the cosmos blesses you with this incredible grand finale of an eclipse season. With Virgo as a main player. Yes, Virgo (who btw does not need center stage, but does find a way to get properly noticed, like the stage manager in a school play). You know what you want, you are going for it. With planning, determination, skill, and confidence, you set out on this new path, new journey, new life. But wait!! Here's the rub. With all that wonderful personal renewal, and of course, somewhat painful struggle to reinvent yourself, you have all these people you are stuck with, or more disconcerting, that are psychologically MIA. So you see, you are left with the dilemna of "Its a Wonderful Life" vs. "Gone With the Wind." Hah. Now what? Your life partner has changed....or did you change? Most of your relationships are unrecognizable, or non-existant. (Oh dear, I sense Virgo is getting a little nervous and urging us to go back to the plan. Stick to the plan.)
You. Must. Decide. Once. And. For. ALL. Who is going with you on this incredible new journey? With whom are you going on their incredible new journey? We are all together in this. But. We musn't drag along the baggage. You must cut loose the chords. If it's not working, if you're not inspired, if you're not inspiring them, let it go. This applies to any relationship. Friendship. Love. Business. Self. Saying goodbye maybe doesn't mean they will disappear. It means you are making way for healthy, new, inspiring, amazing relationships and partnerships.
There must be 50 ways to leave your lover.
"The problem is all inside your head she said to me. The answer is easy if you take it logically. I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free. There must be 50 ways to leave your lover." Paul Simon.
This time I encourage you to take some time to set your intentions. This is not your ordinary new moon. This is a time to appreciate how far you have come and all you are grateful for. This is a time for what you know is about to transpire in your life in the coming months and years. Ironically, in the complicated and extremely nervous looking placement of the planets in conjunction and aspect, the best relationships right now are the Saturnian ones. The tried and true rock solid old traditional ones are the best. You know who you are. The ones that at times, seem boring. The ones that are loyal, faithful, honest, honorable. The ones that seem old fashioned. The ones that are true blue.
Even though our lives have seemed "gone with the wind" it is still "a wonderful life". Embrace your new life and honor the past. It's not a contradiction. Take the road less traveled, yet respect how the path led you there to begin with. That is how you move into your new life and honor the past.
Visit my website at www.mysticalmagic.net and click on The Mystical Moon for information on how to manifest during the new and full moons. But I have a sneaking suspicion that this one will take on a life of it's own. Surprises are in store. And life goes on.
May the mystery of the new moon be with you...
