Happy Halloween! The spooky part of this week is a slightly-jarring New Moon on Thursday, November 4th, followed by two exciting sign changes on Friday the 5th.
New Moon in Scorpio on 11/4 at 5:15PM EST / 2:15PM:
This is our only New Moon in Scorpio for the year, indicating fresh starts and inspired actions in a certain area of your life, depending on your zodiac/birth chart.
My favorite way to commemorate a New Moon is to write my intentions sometime in the first 8-24 hours AFTER the moment the New Moon occurs. As per my favorite author on this, Jan Spiller, write your wishes in the POSITIVE TENSE, only about YOU, and try to include the type of ultimate outcome you desire instead of the particular manifestation you have your mind set on.
Vision-boarding also works, too.
A word of warning, however: the “fresh start” this time around might be jarring and unstable, indeed, as rebellious Uranus opposes the Sun, also on Thursday. In fact, Saturn isn’t being very friendly, either.

To make the most of this portal to next phase of your life—while not getting totally sideswiped by a shocking development—I would incorporate the energetic properties of pure essential oils to feel grounded and unflappable (Patchouli), see the opportunities in whatever situation you find yourself in (Green Mandarin) and take inspired action in the direction that aligns with your soul (Blue Tansy).

💧 💧 Green Mandarin
💧 💧 Patchouli
💧 Blue Tansy essential oils*
Mercury enters Scorpio on 11/5 until 11/24:
Communication planet Mercury cruises past diplomatic Libra into the mysterious and shrewd zodiac sign of Scorpio. Expect that for the middle of November, your thinking patterns might be more obsessive and laser-focused on your goals. Your speech patterns will care less about other people’s feelings, as we all might swing between not sharing at all and intense, jabbing outbursts. We may also be able to bring to light and communicate whatever’s churning deep within us, so we may finally heal it.
Cosmic Advice? Try to land a balance between hiding your feelings and attacking your “opponent.” And maybe think twice before making that biting, sarcastic comment.

Want a little ritual to help you use your communication skills for good and not harm under this intense Mercury influence? Try a little Lavender and Copaiba essential oils* on your throat and across your chest region to help you uncover your real issues (Copaiba) and get your points across in a productive way (Lavender) that doesn’t leave tears!
Venus enters Capricorn, also on 11/5 until 3/6/22(!):
Love, beauty and abundance planet Venus glides into the traditional sign of Capricorn for not just her typical three weeks—but for THREE MONTHS—asking us to focus on our long-term goals in matters of the heart. Venus in Capricorn prompts us to ask ourselves if our daily choices really align with the destination we claim to desire.
Wanna know WHY Venus is taking her sweet time? Because she’s slowing down her speed in advance of her every-18-months Retrograde, which will happen in mid-December. From then, she reverses her motions to go back over the degrees of Capricorn she’s already covered. During this 6-week Venus Retrograde, we will review our relationship issues, needs, patterns, and even old flames! At the end of January 2022, she’ll finally move forward again, catching up to where she was and then moving ahead.
This extra-long Venus phase will get us concocting ambitious plans with our partners, or—if you’re single—cutting through the flirty BS of dating to see if you could go the distance with this person!
