Today is the Scorpio New Moon — that is, Moon conjunct Sun in Scorpio. The conjunction is at 24+ degrees just past a square to Neptune in Aquarius at 23+ degrees. That is ‘square’ enough for Neptune, which does not stay in any container for long, particularly one that is rectangular. As I mentioned yesterday, Chiron is also right in the mix, conjunct Neptune, and Jupiter is close behind. Said another way, this New Moon is square the conjunction going on in Aquarius, which is about to come to its second peak (that happens far in the future — December).
This is the New Moon associated with the Saturn-Pluto square also mentioned yesterday; that square from the Sun to Neptune is suggesting that things are not quite what they seem, and it is therefore better to pay attention than not. Of course one cannot always live like one is being watched, but it is better not to text and drive, in its many current forms.
There is a lot of 90-degree energy in the sky right now — 90 degrees being the action point of astrology, which begins within but which also suggests that ‘something happens’ or as the case may be, something finally happens. It can be stressful; emotionally, mentally, or on your body. Inner conflict can get projected into relationships. Venus and Mars are also square one another, and the lunar nodes. (These are in Cancer/Cap) are creeping into a square with Eris (in Aries, along with this thing conjunct Eris called 1992 QB1, which sounds unceremonious but which was the first bit of space matter in our solar system ever discovered beyond Pluto. If you know that, you know some significant astronomical history of the 20th century. The discovery of QB1 was the discovery of the Kuiper Belt, which brought us Varuna, Sedna, Quaoar, Eris and many other significant minor planets orbiting beyond Pluto.)
