April and Jen lift your spirits and welcome an appropriately Scorpionic Halloween: Mars and Mercury enter the sign, along with a tense Scorpio New Moon and a roaring First Quarter Moon! Also: Saturn puts a lampshade on the Sun; Venus and Neptune ask if we can love our people as they are; the Sun gets a wake-up call from Uranus; Mercury repeats a few aspects (third time’s the charm?); and Venus enters a long haul through serious Capricorn. Plus: battle of the Ants, largish kitties - and bust out your Bingo cards, friends, because there is a lot of singing up in here!

We’d love to chat! Let us know: April(at)bigskyastrology(dot)com . 19:29 – The New Moon at 12.40 Scorpio (Nov. 4) is on the symbol, “An inventor experimenting.” People may seem angrier than usual; the escape route is in Leeooo!
