The New Moon appears in the 3rd house - October 18th (Non USA members please set the New Moon chart for the capital of your country and note the house position of the New Moon - Textbook 4, page 30 will help you interpret the new moon for your own country)

The New Moon in the third house means there will be an emphasis on neighborhoods, elementary education, transportation and communication. Mainstream media has huge monetary problems and partnerships with the new media continues to make headlines. Huge meetings and long discussions will center around the concept that content is everything and the web has to find ways to monetize it. Stocks involved in these discussions will be under pressure as various communications companies try to position themselves for valuable content.

When you reset the New Moon chart for California the Libra stellium falls in the 4th house. Astro-meteorologists would suggest increased earthquake activity around the New Moon. Uranus and Neptune will move into a semi-sextile, therefore the Mid-west will have too much precipitation.

Saturn in the Second House.
Transiting the final degrees of Virgo, Saturn is trying to present the various monetary challenges in the world of health care. Earned income continues to decrease and therefore tax revenues are falling. Every level of government is complaining. It is a case of financial stagnation. No one wants to take financial risks and the savings rate continues to climb. Thrifty shoppers start stashing supplies for the holiday season.

Venus in the Third House
Discussions concerning vehicles will dominate. Folks are very serious about using their money to acquire useful vehicles and avoid the luxury styles. Earned income is spent on necessities and left over cash is saved. Investments will be conservative with gambles on risky ventures at a minimum.

The publishing industry is in the midst of a huge overhaul of ways to deliver the written word.

Many state sponsored retirement funds were invested in risky equities and their managers will have the opportunity to discuss the investments with government officials. Expect lower retirement payments for retired state employees. Institutions with endowment income will have to take major budget cuts.

School budgets are stretched and parents find any suggestion of changing the school year on length of daily instruction impossible to fund.

Negotiations concerning foreign trade will be successful especially concerning vehicles. Boutique investment firms and banks are proliferating.

Neptune in the Seventh House

New software applications as well as recombined old software makes it possible to add new customers.

Uranus in the Eighth House
Please pass the idea around to government officials looking for unique ways to tax the wages of your favorite workers. Insurance is also looking for unique ideas as folks find paying premiums a luxury and not a necessity.

Mars in the Twelfth House
Mars starts its 8 month transit of Leo with his energy focused on using creativity to make the best use of funds delegated to governments and institutions. Prominent officials and leaders of public institutions are forced to put some energy into their work. Technology that they rely on to keep the public safe is not working as promised.
