October 26 - November 1. Crescent & First Quarter Phases.

 

We are still in Crescent phase with the emphasis on receiving information.   This phase is focused on what we learn when we go out of our normal routines and expand our encounters.    People and places that are not ‘regular’ to our usual days will inform us about how we relate and do relationships.     Do we judge a book by a cover?   Do we ask pertinent questions?  Do we race to tell our ‘story’ or ‘pov’ and miss what the other person is saying?  Or do others do that to us?  

 

Then on the 29^th we move into First Quarter Phase, and we act on anything we started on new moon.   What’s the next step that needs action?  How does it impact your ‘relating’ to others?  In this case how are you relating with groups and friends?   

 

Also on October 29, Mercury opposes Uranus for the first time since Uranus entered the sign Gemini.   Things could be off the wall.  Weird conversations for sure.  A lot of big noise around breakdowns, breakthroughs and break outs.    Try to play well, if you can with siblings and neighbors.   On Nov 1, emotions and creativity could feel ‘not enough’.  Go online and read about co-dependency.  Is that in the mix?   There is a chance for some healing.   

 

 

 

Crescent Phase 

 

Focus on: What are you learning about things/people/experiences that are ‘foreign’?  What are learning when you broaden your world and your experiences?   What are you learning when you go over ‘there’? 

 

 

Planetary notes: 

10/27: Mars trine Jupiter (24 CA).  Actions that expand.  How are emotions strengthened by real actions that digs in deep?   

10/29: Mercury trine Neptune (29 PI).  Thinking and communicating that almost feels channeled.  Intuition is very high.  

10/29: Mercury enters Sagittarius (29 SA). Oh, boy, here comes the big ideas, big philosophies, big cocktail parties and big ol’ opinions for six weeks.   Note, we will be back to this date on November 18 when Mercury leaves Sag and returns to Scorpio. 

 

 

First Quarter Moon 

October 29, 2025

9:20am PDT

 

 

First quarter: We do more actions based on the information that we just received.  Or we feel our instincts guide us on something.  We pursue again. What hurdles have popped up involving the seeds you planted on new moon?    We make another call, or we see someone. We mail something.  We stir the pot again.  This can be a time when we realize that the goals, we planted on new need more action from us, perhaps actions that involve breaking away.   Are there people who say they have our best interest in heart but fear us growing away from them?  Maybe we need to get help from others not the usual suspects.  Some independence may need to be exerted.   

 

 

Focus on:   What actions are you taking with your groups?  What actions are you taking with your friends?   How are you finding balance?   Have you been in the background and now you are out front?  Have you been out in the front and now you are drifting in the background?   Is one group louder than others?  Is one group quieter than others? How are you tapping the different energies? 

  

 

Planetary Notes:

10/29: Mars trine Saturn.  Actions that are tied to a thoughtful ability to be responsible.  Conservative actions make the most sense and are productive.  

10/29: Mercury oppose Uranus (00 GE).  Does that big opinion match the reality on the ground?  If it does not, then why listen to that opinion?  

10/30: Mercury sextile Pluto (1 AQ) Dynamic thoughts and communication that are broad and appealing and heal from a new depth.  

11/1: Venus oppose Chiron (24 AR).  There is a lazy way and there is a harder way.  If you are waiting for others to do it, well, that is lazy.
