NEW MOON REPORT
October 25, 2003
by Maritha Pottenger

New Moons are considered auspicious for beginnings, so taking the initiative in regard to research, investigations, uncovering scandals, psychotherapy, occult studies, life-and-death situations, sexual matters, shared resources, or intensely emotional topics would be quite appropriate for this New Moon.

New Moon, 1 Scorpio 41, Saturday, October 25, 2003 at 5:51 AM PDT.

Since Scorpio is a key to joint resources, this might be the time to initiate action in regard to a loan or other matters that involve combining personal finances with other people (or a bank). This New Moon is particularly significant for people born around October 23-27, January 20-24, April 20-24, or July 22-27.

Saturn turns retrograde, Saturday, October 25, 2003 at 4:43 PM PDT.

A new chapter is likely in regard to matters of business, authority figures, the Establishment, older people, or anything crystallized. A new phase is also possible for the house in your horoscope that has Capricorn on the cusp. In terms of practical concerns and real-world issues, the accent is on being sensible, planning well, and double-checking any moves you make.

Jupiter sextiles Saturn, Saturday, November 1, 2003 at 9:14 AM PST.

This is generally a favorable combination, particularly for business. People can successfully blend confidence and competence, know when to push forward and take risks and when to consolidate their gains. Expansion and contraction are in a healthy balance with one another. The possibility of bringing dreams into form is present.

Venus enters Sagittarius, Sunday, November 2, 2003 at 1:43 AM PST.

A fun-loving note enters the mix. Venus in Sag is apt to be flirtatious and quite outgoing. Like Will Rogers, this Venus placement never met a man it doesn't like. Celebration and upbeat experiences are sought out. Pleasure is tied to a seeking, questing motif. Travel may be in the cards (exploring other lands or cultures). Individuals may be drawn to find gratification in education, a search for enlightenment, or the exploring of metaphysics and philosophy. On the lower level, this can be a playboy/playgirl combination.

Uranus turns direct, Saturday, November 8, 2003 at 4:45 AM PST.

Time to let your inner genius loose! The accent is on knowing what rules to break, how to go outside the boundaries of “normality.” An unconventional streak is coming to the surface. Thinking outside the box becomes easier. A new phase is possible for matters involving the house that has Aquarius on the cusp.

Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse, 16 Taurus 15, Saturday, November 8, 2003 at 5:14 PM PST.

This Full Moon is also a lunar eclipse and will be more meaningful for people born around November 7-11, February 4-9, May 5-9, or August 7-11. With a sextile to Jupiter and a wide trine to Saturn, the Full Moon suggests satisfaction in regard to matters involving security, business, pragmatism, and tangible results. Caretaking, protective motifs are strong with the earth and water signs involved. Sensible health measures may be taken, or people could be more focused and productive.

Mercury enters Sagittarius, Tuesday, November 11, 2003 at 11:20 PM PST.

The silver-tongued orator arrives! Mercury in Sagittarius definitely has the “gift of gab.” An outgoing, expressive combination, it can sometimes be carried to the extreme. Excellent for the teacher, consultant, philosopher, wheeler-dealer, or individual who has to make lots of social connections and undertake conversations with a wide variety of people.

Sun enters Sagittarius, Saturday, November 22, 2003 at 9:44 AM PST.

The Sun's need to shine—to be noticed and admired—will be channeled through activities that involve outreach, expansion or broadened horizons. Kudos may be sought through travel, education, philosophy or spiritual activities. Individuals may seek the limelight for their beliefs and values or for the way in which they look for enlightenment. Fun and excitement are tied to the quest for the Truth and ultimate meaning.
