New Moon in Swati Nakshatra



Deity: Vayu Star: Arcturus (Alpha Bootis) Symbol: Blade of Grass Shakti: The Power to Scatter Like the Wind Quality: Chara (Moveable)


The symbol of Swati as a blade of grass and the movement of the grass in the wind implies the moveable nature of this nakshatra. The wind can scatter things as the shakti of Swati implies. This can be applied figuratively too, when considering the Moon as representative of the mind. The mind can be disturbed when Moon is in Swati. It is ideal to manage your breath while Moon is in this nakshatra. Projects that are started while Moon is moving through Swati could spread the news far and wide as the wind can blow.


Swati nakshatra energy is good for:

▪ Trade and commerce

▪ Supportive of new business ventures

▪ Good for travel

▪ Diplomatic negotiations


This is a fantastic day for new beginnings!!! Be sure to read the Ritual Timing below for details!

This is just a reminder for those who are new to my new and full Moon forecasts and other articles -- my forecasts are created using the sidereal zodiac calculations.

October 27, 2019 New Moon Horoscopes

Aries:

Just hours before the new Moon your fiery and energetic ruler Mars will have just squared off with sombre Saturn! Prepare for some frustration and potentially some obstacles between now and the end of this month! Be sure to remain patient (Saturn!) if necessary, just walk away from a project if things are going your way. This new Moon lights up your relationships, primarily romantic but also any business partnerships you might have, too. This is the only new Moon in this sector of your birth chart this year so make it count!


If you are currently in a relationship, be sure to set your intentions for how you would like your partnership to grow and develop over the next six months, until the full Moon in Libra. If you have not seen enough of your partner lately, cast your intentions to the wind (and Swati nakshatra) and be sure to establish a date night (Friday, which is the day of Venus) is an excellent night for date night! And if you are currently single, this is a fantastic time to decide what kind of relationship you want to have in the future.


Set your intentions and be sure to read part one of this forecast for the best times for beginnings!

Please note: This is a sidereal forecast based upon the system of Vedic astrology. If you do not know your rising sign, you can order a birth chart and your planetary cycle information here.



Taurus:

Less than an hour before the new Moon, your ruler the lovely Venus heads into secretive and sultry Scorpio! Venus will be moving through the zone of your chart highlighting your romantic relationships for the next three and a half weeks.

Since this new Moon occurs in the other Venus ruled sign, Libra, this will be an important new Moon for you. The new Moon in Swati will set the stage for you to put new routines in place, whether it is a reorganization of your daily errands, restructuring your work day, or putting new health objectives into place, this is BEST time for the next year to put your goals into place. This is not the exciting or romantic new Moon that most Libra's would prefer, however, daily routines are an important part of your life!


Be aware that the fiery Mars face off with serious Saturn happens on this new Moon day, and issues with romantic or business partnerships as well as your career may be experiencing some roadblocks, or you may be feeling frustrated at this time. This influence will soften by the end of November.

Gemini:

Your all-important ruler, Mercury, is heading retrograde just days after the new Moon! Halloween marks the day Mercury goes backward for the final time in 2019. My Mercury retrograde forecast by sign will be out by the end of this month - stay tuned!

The new Moon highlights your romantic relationships, financial investments (such as stocks), children and your creative talents. There may be a surprise coming in one or more of these areas since unpredictable Uranus is almost exactly opposite this new Moon! Especially related to your savings or other assets.


Keep in mind the fiery Mars face off with Saturn that is occurring just prior to the new Moon! This will add a potential layer of frustration to the mix. This is not the time to get into a disagreement with your mother or anyone you might consider to be an adversary. Sleep may be disrupted over the weekend - practice deep breathing and even 5 minutes of meditation before bedtime can really help!

Cancer:

There may be some unexpected events to attend to at work or at home on the day before or the day of this new Moon! There is also some potential for some emotional ups and downs or mental restlessness this weekend. Regardless, be sure to tap into this powerful Swati new Moon energy and begin something new! Rahu will also be casting his gaze to the new Moon so this can create a lot of desire, especially around your personal happiness.


New Moon in Swati nakshatra is particularly good for launching a marketing campaign and other business ventures. Determine what will create the most happiness for you and what will also allow balance in your life between home life and career.


Since feisty Mars and serious Saturn are squaring off just before the new Moon, be prepared for some additional frustration in social situations or in your communications with others, especially with those who works for or with you. If it feels like you aren't getting through, you may want to table the conversation until after this influence softens at the end of October.


Jupiter moves into sidereal Sagittarius on November 4 - stay tuned for my Jupiter in Sagittarius forecast coming after the new Moon!

Please note: This is a sidereal forecast based upon the system of Vedic astrology. If you do not know your rising sign, you can order a birth chart and your planetary cycle information here.


Leo:

Your ruler Sun is in its deepest degree of debilitation on this new Moon day! The usual lively and confident Leos can experience feelings of humility and may even have some self-doubt or lack of courage, especially in social situations and communication over the weekend. Especially after supportive Venus leaves Libra on Sunday at 8:02 pm PDT. See if you feel an energetic shift after that time and up until the new Moon time at 8:38pm PDT.


Renegade Rahu will be influencing your ruler Sun and the new Moon and your desire for communication and connecting through romantic and business relationships may be very strong through November 5. Beware of your potential to be influenced by others at this time.


Additionally, fiery Mars and serious Saturn will be squaring off just prior to the new Moon! This has the potential to create some frustration with regard to your financial assets, your work, children and your spiritual path! Hang on! This influence has been in play for over a month now and will finally come to a head on this new Moon day and then begin to dissipate by the first week of November.


Wise Jupiter heads into sidereal Sagittarius for the first time since 2007 on November 4. Stay tuned for my by sign forecast to come out after the new Moon!

Virgo:

Your all-important ruler Mercury just slipped into sidereal Scorpio on October 23 and is headed for the final retrograde phase on October 31! I will be sending out your Mercury retrograde forecast after the new Moon.


Meanwhile, the new Moon is illuminating your assets and savings. The almost exact opposition from unpredictable Uranus may bring some unexpected news in this area - possible a windfall or maybe an unplanned expense. Regardless, this is a fabulous new Moon to set your intentions around savings goals for the future, especially as it relates to the money that you earn from your work.


Feisty Mars and disciplined Saturn have been in play for the last month, but they are squaring off just before this new Moon! This is a very personal influence for you Virgo since Mars is currently in Virgo! So, this has the potential to be an intense weekend emotionally. Forewarned is forearmed. :) Also know that this Mars/Saturn situation will be clearing by early November.

Libra:

This new Moon is all about YOU! Before I get into your new Moon forecast it is important to note that your ruler Venus will slide into sultry Scorpio about 30 minutes before the darkest phase of this new Moon. See if you can feel this shift.


This new Moon is all about your intentions you want to set with regard to your work, career and your public persona and your physical appearance. Stay alert this weekend regarding these areas of your life. Unpredictable Uranus is in direct opposition to this new Moon and you may have some unexpected or bizarre interactions at work or in the realm of social media.


If you want to change your appearance this will be a perfect time to set things into motion. Renegade Rahu will be cheering you on from Gemini, too. Especially so if your rising degree happens to fall within Swati nakshatra between 6.40 Libra to 20.00 Libra. The watch-out is to not be too extreme with your changes as you may wish you had been more conservative in the not too distant future!

Scorpio:

Hold on tight Scorpio! Just before the new Moon, your feisty ruler Mars square off with disciplined Saturn. The tension on this interaction has been building all month and is coming to a head just prior to the new Moon! You may have been frustrated with your mother or one of your siblings or you may be experiencing some unexpected expenses that are draining your savings. This is NOT the time to get into any kind of altercation with family. If you can hold off until early November, you have a much better chance of communicating with them rationally and coming to a resolution.


The new Moon is occurring in the house associated with isolation and the subconscious mind. The opposition from unpredictable Uranus to this new Moon could bring some unexpected news, potentially as it relates to someone that you work with, work for or possibly pertaining to your father. If this does happen it would occur most likely Saturday or Sunday. What this new Moon IS good for is setting your intentions around any work with your subconscious mind such as meditation or working with a counselor.


The good news is you still have wise and expansive Jupiter in Scorpio through this new Moon period. Stay tuned though because Jupiter will be moving into Sagittarius on November 4. My forecast for Jupiter by sign will be coming out after the new Moon.

Sagittarius:

Before I get into the new Moon, please mark your calendar for a very important coming date! Your all-important ruler Jupiter is headed into sidereal Sagittarius or the first time since November 2007! Think back to that period from November 2007 to November 2008 and recall what significant event occurred for you at that time. More on this in my Jupiter forecast that is going out after the new Moon!


Now let's get back to the new Moon...this is your one opportunity in the next year to set your intentions around your financial goals from your work! It will also be an excellent time to join any work relate groups and get going on your networking. That said, unpredictable Uranus may be sparking an unexpected shift with someone in your circle of friends. Or there may be some news from your children this is quite unexpected.


Meanwhile, feisty Mars and stubborn Saturn go head to head just before the new Moon. You may have over the last month been feeling like you have been personally blocked in your career and your long-term financial objectives, especially with regard to any financial responsibility related to your children. Good news is this influence will come to a head on the new Moon day and will be diminishing toward the end of the month and finally ending early November!

Capricorn:

Before we get into this new Moon, it is super important to understand that your pragmatic ruler Saturn is squaring off with fiery Mars just minutes before this new Moon! You may have had some difficult interactions with your father or a teacher over the last month. If your father is no longer on this earthly plane, you may be working through some important issues regarding your past relationship with him and your possibly your mother, too. This influence will soften by the end of the month and will completely move off by early November. The BEST news EVER is that Saturn is headed into Capricorn late January for the first time since March 1990!


More on this in January.


Let's talk new Moon energy now! The new Moon is setting the stage for new beginnings for you in your career. Whatever you can dream, do it now!

Unpredictable Uranus may have some news in this area of your life and your home life too since Uranus is directly opposite this new Moon. If you are working for someone else, you may be undergoing a restructure or some changes in your responsibilities that happen quite suddenly. If you are self-employed you may decide to change up your offerings. Whatever the case, expect the unexpected at home or at work! The other thing is that Moon represents your partnerships and there may be some surprising new from a partner or romantic partner this weekend, potentially a surprising shift around their income.

Aquarius:

Before we head into your new Moon forecast, we have to talk about fiery Mars squaring off with your disciplined ruler, Saturn! They will go head to head just before the new Moon and you may have felt this intensity building for the last few weeks. Especially related to your relationship with your older or younger siblings. This is definitely not the time to get into a difficult conversation with them. If you can, wait until the first week of November. You may also feel personally blocked around this time. This feeling will subside toward the end of the month and will be so much better by early November!


Now onward to your new Moon horoscope! This new Moon is going to give you an opportunity to set your goals regarding your spiritual path, any foreign travel you have been dreaming about and your health-related goals for the next six months. Unpredictable Uranus is in the mix, so expect some unexpected news on these fronts this weekend.


The good news is that Jupiter, the all-important planet that represents your financial well-being is headed into its own sign for the first time in over a decade! More on this after the new Moon!

Pisces:

Transformation at this new Moon phase is key for you dear Pisces! You may experience some unexpected financial gains - possibility an inheritance, an insurance settlement or a divorce settlement may come through at this time. That said things have the potential to swing the other way since unpredictable Uranus is opposing the new Moon and you may get some surprising news.


This is still the best time in the next year to set your goals and intentions around your joint partnerships and your long-term financial objectives.


Fiery Mars and stubborn Saturn are squaring off just before the new Moon and you may be feeling the pressure in your relationship and career, especially around the new Moon, since this influence that has been in play for the last month is coming to a head now! It is not the ideal time to get into any kind of battle on either of these fronts at this time. Hang on until early November to address important issues if you can.


The best news EVER is that joyful Jupiter is headed into its own sign on November 4! A lot more on this after the new Moon. Stay tuned for my forecast on Jupiter soon.
