Before this incredible lunation in Mars/Pluto ruled Scorpio, the deeper descent began and hit a zenith with the Moon entering Scorpius @ 4:44 PM/EST or 1:44 PM PST.
Then Mercury retrograde will leave action-oriented optimistic Sagittarius on 11-18-25 @ 7:20 PM PST for more intense, frank and sceptical Scorpio. From a financial standpoint Scorpio involves debt and with Venus transiting there is a large decline in many stock indices. The Dow, S&P 500 and NASDAQ are sinking for a third day in a row.
Pluto the modern ruler of Scorpio is still in a long term trine (out of sign) to Uranus adding to sudden, collective shifts. Pluto also opposes Fixed star Procyon which leads to themes of conformity vs authenticiy, a deeper, even compulsive need to explore hidden truths, face many accumulated and collective traumas, and ultimatly embark on a path of spiritual growth for many. Pluto also is in an out of sign square with the asteroid Eros representring struggles with our inner passions, relationships, potentially leading to either creative breakthroughs or internal or sometimes external destructive conflicts.
Pluto @ 1 aquarius 41 is also in a somewhat irritating yet karmic/ancestral 135 degree angle to Orcus (god of the underworld who punished those who broke their vows or oaths.)
Astrologically this 135 degree angle is known as sesquiquadrate or a combination of a square (90 degrees, major challenge) and a semi-square (45 degrees, minor tension), hence the "one and a half square" (sesqui is Latin for one and a half). This aspect invloses making an adjustments which could also involve conciously breaking repressive spiritual contracts and lead to spiritual growth. Also Venus in Scorpio is in a sesquiquadrate with Ceres, there is a not so subtle friction or sense of something being "off" in areas concerning finances, love, family life, or personal self-care routines.
We are also in the time right before the New Moon known as the Balsamic phase or Waning Crescent. A brief look at the Balsamic Moon Personality:
The Balsamic Moon Personality — The Keeper of Twilight
Wisdom
(315°–359° from the Sun)
At the edge of endings and beginnings, the Balsamic Moon
Soul
walks the veiled corridor between worlds. This is the final phase
of the lunar cycle, where the light of consciousness wanes, preparing to
seed itself anew. Those born under this moon carry within them the perfume of
endings—the sacred knowing that all things must dissolve before they can be
reborn.
