Fire meet gasoline - New moon at 9 degrees and 35 mins Scorpio at 12:47 GMT



If focus, emotional intensity and transforming yourself are useful right now, then you’ll love this new moon. Strong Scorpios will enjoy the visceral emotion, the plunging depths and the purging pain. Others... ummmm, not so much.


The thing with Pluto/Scorpio is that there is no Libra compromise or middle ground. It's either black or it's white and you are going to choose one way or the other. This is a 'no escape' kinda energy - secrets are discovered and destroy, wars are waged from the inside, and every savage behaviour known to humanity can be unleashed. We're talking back-handed dealings, stalking, unflinching obsessions, psychological manipulation, rape, formidable control, self sabotage ....


It's a dark moon for sure, but after the darkness is the light and this is the aim of Pluto - To journey through a tortured landscape, to burn with passion and die in the flames, only to emerge transformed.


During this new moon I urge you to face your own reality. Dig deep, despite the fear. Face the demons head on and decide what needs to go. Be unflinching. Be brave.


Ruler Pluto at 29 degrees Capricorn

Pluto hoovers at 29 degrees for the final time, ending a cycle before it departs into the icy, distant, humanitarian skies of Aquarius. We are seeing the last bids for power and control. Tightening reigns. Absolute sobriety and denial. Pluto wants to transform outworn commitments, be they personal or global.


Ancient ruler Mars at 29 cancer opposite Pluto at 29 Capricorn

Mars (fire) meet Pluto (gasoline). Said to be one of the most violent and horrific aspects (and that's without the final gasp of the 29th degree), this new moon will not pass by quietly.

This is a battle between self protection and transformation. Between our conscious desire to safeguard our inner world and comfort and the unconscious desire to alter the self.

The opposition forms part of a kite pattern (read below).


Trine Saturn in Pisces

We can usually count on Saturn to commit the entire distance. However in Pisces we are more likely to see our structures, and our paths - dissolve.

We might argue this is for the better… yet the better isn't apparent yet. It is shrouded in fog. You just have to trust that it will guide you true.


Let's take a look at the chart



Deep dive Scorpio

  • Soul, soul connection / evolution

  • Depth, intensity, soul desire, emotional

  • Secrets, things unsaid

  • Power and control (Misuse, giving away, power plays, empowerment)

  • Obsession, over-absorption, stalking, vigilance, observation, distrust

  • Analysis (with Virgo), detective behaviour, psychological empathy, psychic ability

  • Manipulation (emotional, psychological)

  • Betrayals (Sexual (affairs), emotional, spiritual)

  • Taboos, sexual impulses (especially darker styles like BDSM, pornography, bondage), the genitals

  • Underground activities (crime, dealing)

  • Psychological contemplation - insecurities, fears, death, loss, trauma / Psych therapy

  • Shared resources and those given by others (alimony, taxes, loans, inheritances)

  • Penetration, laser focus, bottom line, black and white thinking

  • Genetics, DNA, Cancer

  • Genocide, war (with Mars), earthquakes (with Uranus), volcanic eruptions, bombs, famine


What else is happening

A kite pattern (highlighted in yellow on chart)

The kite pattern is a diamond: Two planets sextiling, two trining and two opposing.


Pluto at 29 Capricorn sextiles Mercury at 28 Scorpio, and Neptune at 27 Pisces.

Both Mercury and Neptune trine Mars at 29 Cancer, while Pluto opposes Mars.


Pluto is knocking down rusty foundations, gaining support from Neptune, dissolving structures in Saturn. At all levels we must destroy the old (Cap) to make way for the new (Pluto moving into Aqua). Mars in Cancer self protects and defends itself. Nostalgia can cause us to hoard beyond use - memories, items, feelings and family feuds.


Let go Pluto urges, supported in facing that life is hard, people harm, shit happens - Mercury. You can die beneath the rubble or fight for your home (inner and outer). Let the old order crumble, your mind will reinvent.


29 is volatile af. Stay consciously aware that a shift is occurring, and getting mad, frustrated, hasty or overly controlling is fruitless.


Mercury at 28 Scorpio opposite Uranus at 25 Taurus

Breaking out of your tunnel vision requires a handle on the bottom line. The truth is, you will not grow without embracing the future. Mercury in Scorpio is primal in thought and communication and Uranus can induce sudden insights that shake your mindset. Use it.


Take a look at where the fixed signs are in your chart, around 6 - 12 degrees of Scorpio (conjunction), Aquarius and Leo (square) and Taurus (opposition).


Ask yourself

  • Where the battle is reaching a climax.

  • Are you brave enough to face your inner demons?

  • Where you must accept reality and what that means.
