The Scorpio New Moon is packed with unexpected twists and turns that can take things into the depths of alchemical transformation. It is marked by a major stellium – a gathering of planets – at the master degree of Scorpio (29) in perfect polarity with Uranus at 29 Taurus. Taurus is the sign symbolized by the Tree of Life in the Cosmic Consciousness system. The Taurus Scorpio polarity connects the physical realm with the metaphysical. Since separation generates our experience of physicality, it is the tendency toward unity that generates the metaphysical experience. Mercury began hi retrograde cycle when he entered his shadow on October 21st, the day of the last full Moon in Aries. He went retrograde on November 9th and remains so until November 29th. Until the New Moon in Scorpio, Mercury spent his retrograde journey in Sagittarius, the Truth Speaker. But he is now back in Scorpio, and along with the New Moon energy that starts the chapter ahead and the Black Moon Lilith, who always serves to unveil the Truth, we are in for some shocking revelations. It may not be pleasant, but it is all so important to prepare us for the transformation ahead. Saturn and Neptune are retrograding through Pisces for this entire new Moon cycle, continuing to expand the backdrop for the new building blocks that will define the new order. The energies remain higher than they have been for some time, maybe EVER, courtesy of the solar activity, the presence of 3I/Atlas, and the Schuman resonance revealing the activity in the Earth herself. We all feel it, whether we realize what it is or not. It’s not easy to live with it all on a regular basis. Remember that no matter how well you are able to deal with it, it is all exactly as it is supposed to be. Saturn and Neptune will soon dance back over the 0 Aries point and the world axis for the final time. We are currently in a period of deep reevaluation and the ultimate dissolution of old patterns and structures. This pas de deux will persist into the New Year, finally coming into alignment on February 20th, when several planetary cycles will shift and powerfully affect the collective.Â
Though these times will challenge us, the promise of renewal and change is everywhere. If you seek greater clarity amidst the ongoing shifts, know that guidance is always available to help you navigate these cosmic currents.  EMAIL ME to set up an appointment!

SOME IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
I am about to begin a new Cosmic Consciousness Certification Course on February 20, 2026. If you are interested in taking the course, whether to become a certified 5D astrologer or simply to learn the system, please let me know. I will send a syllabus and all the information you need to get signed up. If you have already told me you want to take the course, please send an official notice right now. EMAIL ME
I am also planning to offer an Astrochat every six weeks or so. An Astrochat is a gathering of likeminded, like hearted souls who want to know what’s going on at the moment astrologically and spiritually. I will spend about a half hour discussing the current planetary picture, and then the first five people to sign up will get a mini reading, applying the information I offered to their own birth chart. The Astrochat is 90 minutes long, everyone can attend. Please send me your name and birth information if I don’t have it to be a part of it. The first five will be read the first time, the second five the next time and so on. When you EMAIL ME to let me know that you want to be a part of the Astrochat, I will send all the details. I have noticed a great need for the gathering of star seeds, lightworkers and awakened ones to have a place to connect with each other. That is my vision for these Astrochats. If you are a Plus member of this site or a paid subscriber on Substack this offering is free. Otherwise it is $40 to attend.
MARS INTERSECTION WITH NODES
From a 3D perspective, a T square occurs when one planet forms a square aspect to two other planets that are in opposition to each other. This configuration creates a dynamic picture of tension, with the squaring planet acting as a focal point for the conflicting energies between the two planets on either side. The opposition represents a polarized axis, while the square introduces pressure and challenge from a different angle, often compelling action or resolution.
This tension can manifest as conflict or stress, depending on the nature of the planets involved and the areas of life they represent. However, as consciousness evolves toward the higher 5D perspective, the square transforms from an obstacle into a stepping stone. A stepping stone affords the chance to perceive the entire situation from a higher perspective, allowing for less tension and more awareness of what the bigger picture entails. Meanwhile, the opposition becomes a bridge in 5D, connecting two seemingly opposing forces and offering opportunities for integration and growth.
When viewed from this expanded awareness, the planet at the intersection—the one forming squares to the opposing pair—serves as a gateway. It provides a path or road to access the light bridge, allowing you to move beyond duality and harness the higher potential of the planetary configuration. This intersection can guide you toward resolution, creative breakthroughs, and greater alignment with your soul’s journey.
