New Moon-Oct.27,2019-Washington, D.C.

The new moon occurring at almost midnight in the Eastern U.S.A. time zone is in the sign of Scorpio. This sign symbolizes psychological change, death and rebirth, the dark night of the soul. As the trees are shedding their leaves and all of nature here on the east coast is dying, it is the time to go inward and explore what we need to let go of in order to advance to the next stage of our lives. This process needs to happen whether or not we live in an area where nature is dying and daylight hours are diminishing.

The planet, Uranus, is opposite the Sun and Moon in Scorpio indicating that there will be unexpected changes and on the psychological level sudden flashes of intuition. It is important to pay attention to these insights as they help guide us in our transformation to the next level.

Pluto is squaring Mars at this time which accentuates the energy of Scorpio since they are co-rulers of that sign. Change is going to happen whether we want it or not. Also, Saturn is squaring Mars so we may feel that our energy is constricted. It is important to be organized before taking action rather than to act impulsively.

In addition, Venus is in Scorpio as well as Mercury and they are conjunct so one’s communications in relationships will be undergoing changes as well. Venus normally rules Libra, the sign of relationships and diplomacy, but now it is in Mars’ sign of Scorpio and Mars is in Libra, Venus’ sign, which can soften some of the Mars energy here.

The chart is done for Washington, D.C. and has Cancer rising indicating emotional sensitivity. That may be evident as things close in on the president. There will probably be much upheaval and change happening in the government as more hidden secrets emerge (the Scorpio emphasis) Some will be quite unexpected with the Uranus opposition. If impulsive actions are taken there will be consequences.
