The Sky Now - Current Astrology

Zodiac sign meanings are based on the changing ratio of the Sun’s light to darkness through the seasons, from the perspective of the Northern Hemisphere.

The Sun is in Scorpio

Scorpio season invites us to descend and deepen. Days are getting shorter, temperatures are dropping, and nature is preparing for winter. As the darkness steadily increases, we are reminded of the impermanence of life; everything dies, so what matters to you? What is important? What needs to be faced? The feminine face of Mars is destructive like Kali—it cuts away inauthenticity and performance to reveal what is raw and real. It is fertile, generative destruction: use this time to confront and clear out dead weight to allow what is still alive to grow.

The Moon changes signs every 2-3 days, and sets a collective emotional tone. You’ll feel it more strongly if it’s interacting with planets in your natal chart.

The Moon is in Scorpio

The emotional vibe is intense and can become overwhelming. This is powerful energy for shadow work, intimacy, therapy, deep conversations, and transformation. But you won’t be able to pretend everything is fine if it’s not. It’s easy to feel raw—if it feels like too much, take a break and tend to your nervous system’s sense of safety.

New Moon in Scorpio in 2 days

Theme: Emotional transformation This is a cycle for honest self-inquiry, shadow work, and letting go of whatever is holding you back so you can step into a new level of power. You could decide to start therapy, journal every day, or purge your home of objects that belong more to your past than your present. Whatever intentions you set on the new moon, make them courageous, raw, and real.

Mercury goes through a 4 month cycle that starts in one retrograde and completes in the next. This creates an overlapping creative spiral where the dissolution of one cycle gives birth to the next.

Mercury is in Sagittarius

Jupiter infuses Mercury with optimism, confidence, and a need to know what it all means. But Mercury is in detriment in Jupiter, meaning it can lose its normal precision and clarity as it tries to understand things on a bigger scale. This is a good time for questioning assumptions and imagining possibilities—but not for detail work. This energy is perfect for hanging out in a cafe talking philosophy and planning big adventures (whether or not they are realistic).

Stage in Cycle

Evening Star Retrograde

This is the final phase of the Mercury cycle, and the most confusing. The previous order dissolves. The discriminating function of Mercury is turned inward, as you examine what is true for yourself and what lines need to be drawn. It’s important to do this work, even if it feels like navigating in the dark. Don’t force anything. Don’t try to maintain what is clearly not working. Allow plans to change. Listen. Notice what keeps asking for your attention. Wrap things up that feel complete. Don’t start new projects or make commitments if you can help it. Let go of needing certainty, and give yourself a break or a nap. The upcoming cazimi will bring clarity that you don’t have access to yet.

Where is everything else? The other planets? Transits!?

I will add more over time, but my goal is to support tracking the underlying energetic changes that happen on a cyclical basis. This helps us develop a relationship with the sky, seasons, and signs on a deeper level than the transit-of-the-week. Let me know what you think!
