  • A Most Unusual Scorpio New Moon
    Nov 19 2025

    Overnight Wednesday to Thursday we will experience a truly unusual New Moon, arriving at a packed and sensitive moment. This is the alignment of retrograde Mercury conjunct the Moon, the Sun and the Earth — at exactly the same time.

    The Moon and Mercury will pass between the Earth and Sun at exactly the same time. The chances of this even happening are remote but here it is. And it takes place in the what’s called the anaretic degrees of Scorpio — way at the end of the sign, indicating major change; and a point of no return.

    In this article and Starcast, I’ll comment on the public and collective expressions of this aspect; in the readings below (for Sun and rising sign), I speak to you as an individual with your own private concerns.

    The New Moon conjunct Mercury takes place at 28+ Scorpio (which is really the 29th degree). When you have one very hot degree, it’s helpful to check what is contacting that degree from the other three directions — that is, what’s making squares and oppositions? You get a lot of clues. I’ve put the chart below this article in case you dare to look at the basic data.

    Let’s call out something obvious: this lunation is opposite Uranus, which is in the last degree of Taurus. The New Moon is itself a trigger, and then the Moon and the Sun immediately oppose precipitous (and misnamed) Uranus, the disruptor, the agitator and the rebel. This setup has that distinct sprung-like-a-trap feeling, and some “unexpected” events will move quickly from here.

    Here in the States, we are watching the Jeffrey Epstein-Donald Trump child sex trafficking unfold like the latest reality show. We are finding out just how many people will give the president a pass on his affinity for teenagers (he said on the Howard Stern show that 12 is too young).

  • Starcast from Planet Waves :: Following the Moon and Mercury through the New Moon
    Nov 13 2025

    Greetings from Upstate New York —

    This episode tracks the Moon and (retrograde) Mercury through the formation of a remarkable New Moon in Scorpio on Nov. 20.

    The fancy flourish at the beginning of the retrograde was Mercury backing into a conjunction with Mars on Wednesday. This is a perplexing form of hot-headedness, potentially containing the ingredients of bad decisions and over-generalizations.

    Yet at its best, retrograde Mercury conjunct Mars gives rise to real questions, including questioning one’s own opinion, or discovering that you overlooked a few things.

    Meantime, the Moon is waning toward the new phase, on Nov. 20. This is an impressive lunation with Mercury making yet another conjunction — this time to the Moon and the Sun. So it’s a New Moon conjunct Mercury retrograde.

    Before that: the Moon entered Virgo Wednesday evening. It’ll enter Libra at 4:43 am EST on Saturday, Nov. 15. Then it will enter Scorpio on Monday, Nov. 17 at 4:44 pm EST. The next day retrograde Mercury re-enters Scorpio, followed by the New Moon conjunct Mercury overnight Wednesday to Thursday, Nov. 19-20.

    So far, Mercury retrograde is off to a rollicking start. More on Starcast above, and on Friday’s Planet Waves FM.

  • Trump Reckoning: The Epstein Files, from Planet Waves by Eric Francis
    Nov 12 2025

    The full notes and charts are here.

    I can’t get a sense of whether this will scale up. It keeps seeming like it has to; like this is the Achilles heel. I am not getting why it’s being made so obvious that he’s into pre-teens and underage teenagers right in front of everyone’s faces; this is obviously a form of moral torture.

    The disclosures that Jon Stewart pulled together in July were vexing, including deposition testimony and comments on Howard Stern indicating that a girl 12-years-old was too young but that was his limit. He said this ON AIR in the studio.

    Stewart pulled this together in July; I saw it about two weeks ago. He is sourcing his documents. I lean toward trusting Jon Stewart as he was the one public presenter, though retired at the time, to question the covid shots, on the Colbert show, and Steve understandably did not appear happy about that.

    Notably Comedy Central and CBS are now part of the same company (Paramount). Black Rock, State Street and Vanguard all hold large portions of Paramount. So all the “hedge fund parties” are represented here. Well, except for Blackstone.

    ---

    I assume those who are stage managing the Epstein scenario are the same ones that did Kirk and Butler. (I think the evidence is strong that Erika Frantzve Kirk’s nonprofit was involved in child trafficking, though it really was hers in name only.) The three emails (released by Democrats in congress) are here, including one from a political strategy discussion with author Michal Wolff (who allegedly received Epstein’s final message before his claimed 2019 death and who wrote three books about Trump claiming Epstein as a cloaked source).

    From this email you can see the strategy that surrounds Epstein and his handlers, which is kompromat, a Stalin-era KGB word for “compromising material.” That seemed to be the whole Epstein game. But I suspect there is far more; that Epstein is the coverup and not the crime.

    So the question is, does this pan out? The astrology says this is the thing that ultimately will. Under the rules of litigation and investigative journalism, the emails are primary source materials reportedly released by a government authority and presumed to be authentic; but that is a legal presumption. It can be challenged but it’s difficult to refute.

    Here is the follow up story about 20,000 emails released by Republicans a few hours later. This seems like a pissing match to see who will ultimately take him out.

  • Mercury Retrograde Notes — Nov. 9 - Nov. 29
    Nov 6 2025

    Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius on Sunday, Nov. 9. It will slide back into Scorpio on Tuesday, Nov. 18 and finally resume direct motion on Saturday, Nov. 29 (during Thanksgiving weekend in the U.S.). There is a very unusual New Moon in Scorpio conjunct retrograde Mercury on Thursday, Nov. 20. One of the most unusual features is at the beginning, when on Wednesday, Nov. 12, retrograde Mercury forms a conjunction to Mars in early Sagittarius. This would appear to be a personal turning point and also a collective one (per events developing in the chart for the presidential inauguration back on Jan. 20 — so recently and so long ago). More details in the Starcast program above. — efc
