The Wheel of Fortune

Wow, the news just keeps coming. It feels like every day brings another revelation, another twist, another piece of the puzzle. As we move toward the end of the year, the astrology reflects this momentum. We are moving through a period when truth refuses to stay buried and the collective is waking up in waves.

2026 is right around the corner, and now is the perfect time to prepare yourself for the year ahead. My new Lunar Planning Guide is finally ready, and I could not be more excited to share it with you. It will support you in navigating the emotional tides of the coming year, staying grounded, and working with each lunar cycle with intention.

With that foundation in place, let us turn to the powerful New Moon arriving this week.

We have a New Moon at 28° Scorpio entwined with communicative Mercury Rx opposite disruptive Uranus Rx in Taurus. New Moons are times to set intentions, plant seeds, and invite new beginnings. Yet this one comes with a twist. Uranus is the planet of shocks and awe, and oppositions come from outside us, through people or situations. This lunation promises revelations we may not have seen coming.

Scorpio and Taurus form the axis of pleasure, power, and resources. Scorpio rules debt, taxes, psychological bonds, life-and-death matters, and the places in our lives where transformation feels unavoidable. This New Moon invites us to take an honest inventory. Do you need to update your will or health directive? What is your relationship to debt or shared resources? Are there cords that need to be cut so you can step out of a pattern that has held you back? This is an excellent time to release attachments that drain your energy, making space for what wants to grow next.

Because Scorpio is a water sign, the psychological realm is active - things buried in the subconscious rise into conscious view. Shadows we prefer to avoid, taboo topics we do not want to name, and emotional truths we have sidestepped may come up for examination. We often think we are done with a story and find out we are touching another layer.

We are seeing this energy in real time. Last week, the Epstein emails exposed high-profile figures, including guru Deepak Chopra and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. Today, the House voted to release the files, ensuring more revelations will follow. 

Another major story is building under the surface. The AI bubble may be showing signs of strain. Peter Thiel has divested from NVIDIA, and others are following. This week’s Celestial Insights podcast is titled Apocalypse Now! If this trend continues, it could shock both the markets and the national psyche. 

On a symbolic level, a bridge collapsed at a mine in the Congo, which feels like a metaphor for the current astrology. Something that once held can no longer bear the weight. We may see this imagery echo through the collective with literal landslides, avalanches, powerful waves, or people being swept away emotionally. 

Hold on, because change is coming. Sagittarius season begins on Friday, and the fiery optimism of this mutable fire sign brings fresh energy. You may notice your mood lifting as the Sun moves from Scorpio’s depths into Sagittarius’s open sky. It may take a couple of days to adjust, but this shift will help us emerge from the underworld and gain a new perspective.

This New Moon marks both an ending and a beginning. A release and a seed. A truth revealed and a path illuminated. Let what needs to rise, rise. Let what needs to fall, fall. And trust that as we move toward 2026, the tools, clarity, and support you need are available. Book an astrology consultation if you want to explore how to thrive through 2026, a year of massive collective changes.
