Falling on the day after Halloween, November 1, 2025, we experience the new moon in Scorpio, one of the most mysterious and misunderstood signs of the zodiac. As winter comes to the northern hemisphere and the ground is littered in leaves, Scorpio teaches us lessons of letting go, of digging deep to find our inner resources, and trusting that spring will return, and we will be renewed. Scorpio energy ushers us into our own darkness, our personal shadow and provides opportunities for profound personal growth as we learn to accept, love, and transform all of who we are.
This new moon is in a trine or harmonious relationship with Saturn in Pisces offering support for taking emotional inventory and laying the groundwork for new healing. Also included in the chart for the new moon is an extremely favorable grand trine in water signs, with Mercury in Scorpio trine Mars in Cancer, trine Neptune in Pisces, suggesting an easy flow of communication and ideas, particularly regarding our innermost feelings. Because all three of these planets are in late degrees of Scorpio, they also promise the potential of deeper understandings within our own psyche.
Along with the supportive water energy there is a difficult opposition aspect from Mars, the action planet, to Pluto gatekeeper to the underworld. This suggests conflict between the will of the individual and powerful forces in the collective. In other words, rampant voter suppression and an escalation of the negative rhetoric from the Trump campaign. This is a slow-moving transit and has been in effect during the last two weeks of October and will continue into early 2025. Even after the election results are confirmed there will be a great deal of discord.
Looking again at the charts of the candidates, Trump has Uranus conjunct his MC and Saturn applying to a square with his Moon from the 7th house, both indications of separation from the public eye and disappointment. Harris has Saturn transiting her 10th house, associated with career success, and the transiting Sun conjunct Neptune (on November 7th) ruler of her 10th house of career. This indicates a clear win for Harris, but please make time to vote!
