On October 25th, at 10.48 PM (GMT), the Sun and the Moon will be sitting together at 2° in the sign of Scorpio creating a very intense New Moon. It is also a partial solar eclipse (as the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun) and this New Moon occurs in Scorpio, the sign ruling the South Node (aka soul contracts and karma) since January 18th, 2022. And to spice up this already pungent cocktail, Venus will be conjunct both the Sun and the Moon on October 25th bringing a zest of emotional questioning. Did we think we would have it easy? No. Are we freaking out? A bit.
How can we deal (or stay more or less sane) with this celestial event?
Scorpio is a very profound and powerful sign: it dives deep into the abyss of the psyche to spring back renewed and refreshed. However, the journey is rarely an easy one and something must be left or even given up in order to come back properly. An eclipse on top of that intensity makes things even deeper, as the word eclipse itself comes from the Greek word ekleipo, meaning to abandon. This New Moon is associated with fate: new beginnings will take place for sure and if you’re not eager to clean up and get ready for them, destiny will do the job. So what should be left behind or removed for us to transform and become better versions of ourselves?
In which area of your life will this New Moon Solar Eclipse impact you? Which sector will be energetically purged? Where will we feel a massive transformation? Take a look at your Sun, Moon, Ascendant and Venus signs to get some insight.
Aries: shared finances or resources, taxes, partner’s possessions, sexuality, regeneration
Taurus: relationships, partnerships, contracts, marriage or divorce, justice
Gemini: daily work and service, mundane tasks, routine, physical health, pets

On October 9th at 9.54 pm UTC, the Moon will be at 16° of Aries, opposing the Sun at 16° of Libra. In other words, the skies give us a potent Full Moon in Aries. As you may already know (or feel!), Full Moons represent the climax of a moon cycle and they shine bright on certain areas of our lives to help us implement healthy changes or habits. They always bring their lot of emotions and tension: what has changed since we started the cycle? What has been fulfilled? What is yet to come?
This particular Full Moon is happening in Aries, highlighting the Aries/Libra axis. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, the initiator of all things, the momentum we all need is also the sign of the self and the ego On the opposite side of the wheel stands Libra, the sign of relations, justice, social equality and diplomacy. When we decode the stars language, this lunar event invites us to ponder: how do we express ourselves (Aries) in our relationships (Libra)? How can the ‘I am’ (Aries) find harmony in social interactions (Libra)? How can our power (Aries) support fairness and equity (Libra)?
Keeping these general questions in mind, here are the horoscopes for each zodiac sign. As always, take a look at your big 3 (Sun, Ascendant and Moon signs!)
Aries: This Full Moon is happening in your sector of identity, ego, deep sense of self. This is a beautiful time to assert yourself and take action in any area of your life you’ve been feeling stuck or stagnant. The momentum is here and it’s real so take that leap of faith or at least the first baby steps towards your dreams! You hold the power to make things manifest into your reality, don’t doubt yourself and be bold! You won’t regret it!
Taurus: The Full Moon is here to switch on the light of your subconscious, deeply rooted beliefs, far away dreams and self-undoing. It may feel uncomfortable because the Moon is asking you to face some of your hidden subconscious fears or patterns: where have you been self-sabotaging your progress? What actions can you take to connect your inner spiritual life with a pragmatic and tangible approach?
Gemini: This lunation is all about friendships, social interactions, goal setting and your future self. You may be busy at that time, playing the social butterfly and meeting new people! Any new encounter could prove quite beneficial for your future plans and some interactions might bring the info that was missing for you to achieve something. Listen, be open to various points of view and don’t judge too hastily!
Cancer: The Full Moon appears in your career and social status sector, inviting you to finally communicate your needs and start afresh. You can be whoever you want and your professional life will benefit a bold move. Don’t hide and ask yourself: what do you want to achieve professionally? What are your strong skills and how can you use them now? What kind of training do you need to climb the ladder? The time is right to boost any professional venture!
Leo: Your approach to life, philosophy, higher education or even religious beliefs is highlighted. The Full Moon may have you think deeply about the world with the idea of changing it for the better. Aries being a friendly sign to yours, you might feel very ready to confront various ideas and concepts and learn a lot about different philosophies of life. You could even have a light-bulb or Eureka moment and finding answers to an old question. If you can, travel or go on an adventure, it will do wonders!
Virgo: This Full Moon occurs in your sector of shared resources and money, intimacy and the everlasting cycle of death and rebirth. La Luna is clearly asking you to look closely at your shared resources: is equality at the center of your finances? What changes could you implement to start afresh or on a clean slate in your intimate relationships? You have the strength to face that and to readjust or reinforce your position in these areas.
Libra: The Aries Full Moon is happening in your sector of partnerships, contracts, social relationships and diplomacy. You may have felt under pressure lately, overwhelmed with giving too much of your energy and being out of balance and alignment. This lunation invites you to recenter and refocus on yourself. If you feel great, your innate sense of diplomacy will be flowing and any partnership will benefit that! Time to readjust your time, energy and identity so you can bring harmony to your relationships.
Scorpio: La luna shines bright on your daily life, tasks, work and health: are you paying enough attention to yourself and your needs or do you work automatically to avoid something? The way we approach each day can be fulfilling or detrimental, especially when we ignore our needs. This Full Moon is a friendly reminder: your health is essential, you matter! Is there balance between you personal and professional life? If not, it’s time to put some boundaries in place and gift yourself some well-deserved ‘me time’.
Sagittarius: This Full Moon is happening in your romance, love and creativity area and it feels very comfy in your sign. How enjoyable it is when you follow your intuition and inspiration! If you have felt stuck, uninspired or lacking creativity, this is the moment to reconnect to what you love. Have a date with yourself first: where in your life could you bring more pleasure? And if your heart is taken, you could have a pleasant conversation and a great time with your other half! Any relation with children can improve significantly if you give them space to be themselves!
Capricorn: Your home, family and matriarchal relationships sector is under the spotlight with this Full Moon. You might have been quite shy to express yourself or may have felt trapped in your home or in a role among your family members. The Moon is whispering to you the word authenticity. It is safe to be yourself and to feel comfy and cosy at home so please, take any action towards these goals, you won’t be disappointed! From heartfelt conversations to home interior improvement, you’ll feel ease and simplicity enter your life.
Aquarius: La luna is settling in your communication, short trips, neighbours and siblings sector. Whether it’s with siblings, cousins, neighbours or local shop owners, the way you interact is essential: your quick-wit and out-of-the-box thinking will be noticed and remembered. Any written or oral communication is very beneficial and your ideas may reach people further than you can imagine. Conversations will be flowy and pleasant and any short trip could be fruitful, especially a last minute booked one!
Pisces: This Full Moon is here to remind you that material possessions and self-worth are as necessary as a rich and intense spiritual life! It’s okay to approach life in a more tangible or pragmatic manner and you’re invited to assert yourself in areas that are normally too down-to-earth for you. Don’t forget that it takes the mind, the body and the soul to fully experience life on Planet Earth. If you’ve been contemplating purchasing something for a long time, it could be nice to finally buy it (if you have the means!), it will bring pleasure to your senses!
Wishing all you of you a happy Full Moon, may the skies support your actions and real self!
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
You are the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac wheel dear Pisces. Your compassion, gentleness and inspiration are unmatched!
You’re intuitive: as the last water and last mutable sign, you navigate situations and energies with an acute sensitivity and you have enormous amounts of empathy. You feel people and environments as soon as you encounter them and your deep emotional nature makes you a soulful and caring person. You often perceive the pain or suffering in others and this trait enhances your healing abilities. You are very creative: when you connect deeply to the universal soul or consciousness, you demonstrate striking artistic talents. Like all mutable signs, you’re able to merge with the energies that are surrounding you and embrace a multiplicity of opinions and emotions.
In Tarot, you’re The Moon: associated with the subconscious and idealism, this card illustrates the mysteries, illusions and uncertainty that are all around us. Of course Pisces, you feel at home in such an atmosphere as you’re quite the mystic one! On the card, the two towers as well as the dog and the wolf represent practicality (or domestication) and imagination (or wildness), the aspects you need to unite to express your beautiful oneness and transcend all human limitations. You represent the feet: this is the only part that can ground you when your mind and thoughts are accessing higher realms of consciousness!
With Neptune as your ruler, you’re all about dreams, mysticism and secrets. You possess an outstanding intuition and you can prove very psychic at times. You enjoy escaping into a fantasy world of your own making and can spend hours daydreaming about an ideal life. This comes with the downside of being hurt by a harsh reality and having trouble focusing on mundane tasks. At you’re finest, you’re helpful to others and love to be of service. Your compassion and emotional intelligence can heal many broken souls and your ability to listen to people without judgement makes you a great friend. When your shadow side overwhelms you, you become moody, evasive and impressionable or easily scared.
Your lessons in this lifetime dear Pisces are to live in the here and now even though what you see is aggravating (vanishing into your secret world won’t make reality change or disappear) and to channel your creativity, empathy and dreaminess into pragmatic solutions so you can truly make the world we live in a better place!

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
You are the eleventh sign of the zodiac wheel dear Aquarius. Your individuality, originality and humanism are unmatched!
You’re innovative: as the last air and last fixed sign, you love approaching life with cleverness and rationality but you also demonstrate unconventional and out-of-the-box thinking. Independent and future–oriented, you don’t shy away from rebellious or even revolutionary ideas. You are friendly and a free–thinker and these qualities create a sociable and comfy atmosphere for people to express themselves. You enjoy intelligent and fast–paced conversations and have a great curiosity for various and sometimes unusual topics. You try to remain objective in all situations and to find inventive solutions to any problem.
In Tarot, you are The Star: a naked woman under a starry sky is kneeling in front of a pond, holding a cup in each hand. This illustrates your sincerity and spirituality: when you can associate truth and rationality with intuition and imagination , you’re able to create a hopeful future. Innovative ideas for the greater good of all species come when you’re embodying the purest and most genuine version of yourself. You won’t be a true genius if you don’t fuse your brilliant mind with a candid heart.
With Uranus as your ruler, you do not fear eccentricity and take pleasure in imagining all sorts of ingenious and avant–garde theories. Even though you are interested in scientific and technological approaches, you add bits and bobs of rebellion and offbeat thinking to your life. You may have very different (if not antagonistic) groups of friends and you very much enjoy this diversity. You are a big defender of solidarity and progressive human rights and your reasoning about these significant themes is sometimes unpredictable or erratic. If people have trouble following or validating your ideas, you can become detached, unemotional, conflicting and cold. You represent the calves and ankles: you attach the lower body to the ground so your intellect can reach the outer space!
Your lessons in this lifetime dear Aquarius are first to take some time to focus on yourself (when uncertainty hits you, you’re lost, scatterbrained and unable to reason and to think on your feet) and second to take more responsibility for your words and actions: what you say moves people in ways you don’t imagine and what was uttered or done tactlessly or without emotion can’t be deleted.
You’re the tenth sign of the zodiac wheel dear Capricorn. Your wisdom, self–mastery and patience are unmatched!
You are responsible: as the last earth and last cardinal sign, you’re all about investing time in projects with carefulness and prudence. You are disciplined and respectful of your surroundings and as an earth sign, you like practicality and organisation. You’re the mountain goat, you can reach the top of the mountain if you stay focused and take baby steps. Your ambition and drive to succeed are very high and you’re not afraid to put on the work to achieve your goals. People often forget that you have a fish tail: your intuition is off the charts but you tend to dismiss it and concentrate on tangible work.
In Tarot, you’re The Devil: a half-goat, half-man figure with vampire bat wings holds two humans enchained. This card illustrates your tendencies to be obsessed (with work or materialism) and to feel restricted in your potential and even depressed by a lack of freedom and independence. It also shows that your sensual side is limited by your self-imposed beliefs. The message here is to be aware of your shadows and find balance in every area of your life. As always, the middle way prevails.
With Saturn as your ruler, you know, more than anyone else, the importance of patience, persistence and authenticity. Time is at work and you can’t control it but if you’re true to yourself and create meaningfully, you’ll reap wonderful rewards. Nothing comes free and lessons must be learnt if one wants to advance: these saturnian rules are yours to remember. You represent the bones, teeth, skin and knees: all of them are altered by time but are steady structures carrying us till the end of physical life. The heaviness of your ruler makes you a very serious and disciplined creature, however, you can display a very funny side (dry humour is your jam), impressive amounts of sensuality and deep insight and clairvoyance. You also care a lot for your loved ones and show them a parental protective side. At your lowest, you exhibit pessimistic tendencies, coldness and isolation.
Your lessons in this lifetime dear Capricorn are to make space for fun and pleasure more often (being serious and professional all the time may transform you into a cold-hearted machine) and to reconnect with your intuition, inner child and the divine flow of life (when you master the blend of instinct, playfulness and determination, you’re the most powerful version of yourself!)
You’re the ninth sign of the zodiac wheel dear Sagittarius. Your adventurous spirit, enthusiasm for discoveries and good humour are unmatched!
You are broadminded: as the third mutable and third fire sign, you enjoy a fresh approach to life and passionate people and beliefs. You are chatty, philosophical and optimistic: your zest for life and fun is contagious! You’re always ready for your next trip or adventure and you deeply cherish freedom and independence. You’re spontaneous and outspoken which makes you a great friend and travel companion. With you, life is compelling and you’re so future-oriented that you take pleasure in trying a bunch of new things quite often.
In Tarot, you’re The Temperance: the figure of an angel is blending water and fire into two cups, one foot on the ground, the other in the water. Very much like this illustration, you’re able to mix various ideas and concepts and you need different experiences to feel whole. Your power is in your ability to stay grounded while going with the flow of life and divine energies.
With Jupiter as your ruler, you could not be luckier! You are the inspired and collected fire, like the arrow of your glyph, you see the big picture and target your next steps easily. Once your mind is made up, your passion and focus are ignited and nothing can prevent you from reaching your destination. You represent the thighs: on your quest for expansion and a better version of yourself (and life in general), you’re ready to walk the distance and your endurance is strong! You are sometimes so fervent in your beliefs and ideals that you can be reckless, tactless with people, moralistic and judgemental.
Your lessons in this lifetime dear Sagittarius are to acquire patience even when you’re excited about a project or when life is frantic or annoying (balance will help you shoot your arrows more precisely and avoid exaggerated situations) and to be more careful in your communication with others (not everyone can take a blunt truth out of the blue!).

You are the eighth sign of the zodiac wheel dear Scorpio. Your intensity, magnetism and intuition are unmatched!
You are penetrating: as the second water and third fixed sign, you have an immense intuitive power as well as a strong determination. You are observant, seductive and profound: you notice energies and feel powerful emotions, you are (and rightfully so!) the detective of the zodiac! You are fulfilled and complete when the conversations are deep, passionate and transformative. Death of the ego/the persona and rebirth are an art you master and diving deep into dark waters does not scare you anymore. Complexity is what makes you so charismatic and hypnotic.
In Tarot, you’re The Death card: you know how painful and destructive endings are, however, you also understand that from a clean slate, fresh and meaningful situations can appear. On the card, a skeleton is on a white horse, stepping over dead bodies and carrying a black flag adorned with the white rose of purification. On the background, the sun is rising to signal new beautiful beginnings. This power of reinvention is a strong scorpionic skill and regeneration is your super power. You represent the reproductive organs: what could be better to show your desire along with your ability to create life!
With Pluto as your ruler, you don’t fear darkness or loneliness for you know they are necessary passages towards renewal. You have strong survival instincts and show perseverance even when the environment seems hostile. You can display creativity and spirituality when you feel at ease and like Hades to Persephone, you’re very loyal to those you love. When you feel threatened or unsafe, you can turn into an obsessive creature and exhibit jealous, vengeful or self–destructive behaviours.
Your lessons in this lifetime dear Scorpio are to balance your extreme emotions for your own sake (diving always this deep is exhausting and often more destructive than helpful) and to learn how to let go when situations or surroundings are toxic (you don’t need to sacrifice yourself!).
You are the seventh sign of the zodiac wheel dear Libra. Your diplomacy, harmony and sense of equality are unmatched!
You are fairness: as the second air and third cardinal sign you have a deep and objective thinking and a soft approach when starting projects. You embody mediation, it’s with grace and ease than you find your way in various relationships. Compromise and balance have no secret for you and you express your best qualities among considerate people and in aesthetically pleasing environments. You excel in cooperation, group work and exchanges of ideas! Your love of harmony has a large spectrum: from partnerships to fine arts, you shall find it everywhere.
In Tarot, you’re The Justice, a figure sitting between two pillars representing law and order, holding the sword of truth in her right hand and the scales in her left hand. Like this illustration, you’re in a quest for equity, truth and impartiality and you know that every action bears consequences. You also understand that every mind needs the right dose of intuition to function at its finest.
With Venus as your ruler, you delight in beauty, art, romanticism and refinement. Pleasure for you finds its meaning in what is visually appealing as well as in thoughtful, lighthearted and tolerant conversations. Like every air sign, you have a way with words and demonstrate an exceptional level of charm and wit. You’re sociable and easygoing but when you’re out of balance or insecure, you may be indecisive, easily influenced, elusive and sometimes co–dependent.
Your lessons in this lifetime dear Libra are to develop your intuition so your decisions can be made in equal proportion between your heart and mind (your intellect can sometimes be manipulative) and to find ways to express your ideal plans in a more assertive, grounded and pragmatic manner.

You are the sixth sign of the zodiac wheel dear Virgo. Your analytical skills, precision and diligence are unmatched!
You’re skillful: as the second mutable and second earth sign, you are the combination of a sharp mind and productivity. You observe and analyse your environment before meticulously doing your tasks. Detail-oriented and quite the perfectionist, you thrive when your mind and surroundings are neat and organised. Your perceptive intelligence and planning abilities make you an effective and helpful asset in any team. Your critical approach to situations helps you keep a cool head.
In Tarot, you are The Hermit, a solitary man, covered in a long, grey cloak and holding his inner light in his lantern (highlighting only the next few steps). Reaching the top of the mountain, he has achieved wisdom and self-mastery. Very much like him, you’re able to find your way methodically, one step after another and you know that perseverance and hard work will always bear fruits. You almost never let chance take over as you feel powerful when you’re in control.
With Mercury as your ruler, you display an impressive mental agility and significant communication skills. You are discerning and clever and also possess earthy qualities such as pragmatism, reliability and dignity. You represent the stomach and digestive system: working a lot behind the scenes, you process information and classify everything that comes your way. You sometimes are so absorbed in your tasks that you turn into an robot-like creature, distant, systematic and pedantic.
Your lessons in this lifetime dear Virgo are to learn how to go with the flow and be more intuitive (for systematising every single experience is dimming your light) and also to show your sensitivity and emotions especially through kindhearted (and not automatic) acts of service.
You are the fifth sign of the zodiac wheel dear Leo. Your generosity, flamboyance and style are unmatched!
You are glorious: as the second fire and second fixed sign, you’re reliable, affectionate and superb. You are optimistic and sincere, your heart is warm and loving. You’re full of vitality and take pleasure in creative or fun activities. You’re an entertainer, your dramatic and theatrical displays speak for themselves! You love putting up a good show and use it to cheer up your friends and make them laugh. Your wear your heart on your sleeve and you’re loyal to those you love.
In Tarot, you are The Strength, a woman dressed in white has tamed a lion. With her purity, love and sincerity, she made friends with the beast representing raw instincts and fierceness. This is your power: when you’re patient and advancing in trust that everything will align perfectly for you, it will, if you keep an authentic heart.
With the Sun as you ruler, you’re warm and bright. You have an external fire: loud, powerful and effervescent. Your energy is intense and playful and sometimes so assertive that it scares people! You represent the heart: the source of life and emotions that come in many forms. You can be as generous as conceited and as likeable as patronising. When you take yourself too seriously and overfeed your fire, you sometimes become bossy and show-off and tend to forget about your surroundings.
Your lessons in this lifetime dear Leo are first to leave some space for other people and various forms of expressions (not everybody has your grandiose spirit or magnanimous heart and that’s okay) and then to show some modesty in your achievements, it will make them sweeter and even more sincere.
