New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting seeds and setting intentions. The Moon in Scorpio is related with all things deep, dark and mysterious. Scorpio is the sign of birth, death and renewal. This is one of the best New Moon’s to work on deep emotional healing by learning to release and let go of old attachments that no longer serve our needs. Repeat this affirmation: I will no longer serve that which does not serve me. This is not self-aggrandizement, not narcissism, it is service to the soul.
The Moon in Scorpio is sort of like going on a blind date only to discover that your partner is Ereskigal, the ancient Sumerian goddess of darkness and the underworld. It was a goddess, not a god who ruled the underworld. Ereskigal is a much earlier form of Pluto. It is Ereskigal (Pluto) who strips us bare to the bone and of everything which has given us an identity is taken away, and leaves us for dead. It was Carl Jung who said “We discover what truly supports us when that which we thought supported us is taken away. We find out there is a part of us still there, a part that is indestructible and eternal.
Healing rituals with the Moon in Scorpio are about working in the dark. The wounded animal withdrawals into the stillness of the dark empty cave in order to heal itself. Likewise, the psyche (soul) requires that we go down into the depths of the unconscious
in order to heal the soul. The invisible world would like to help, but spiritual etiquette requires that we ask first! Only then do the god and goddesses know where asking for help is through ritual, ceremony and intention. That which isn’t ritualized becomes literalized.
The Sabian symbol for the New Moon reads: An X-RAY PHOTOGRAPH. Keynote: The capacity to acquire knowledge of the structural factors in all existence. Saturn in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn on the 15th. Shake, Rattle and Roll! One
positive way we can work with this dynamic aspect is by clearing out the clutter in our life. This is a favorable time to clean out the closets, basement, attic or the garage. Let go of the unessential and what’s no longer needed or useful. Some important
structures in our work or relationships will be put to the test. Too many demands from our partner or others could prove to be contentious at this time. Compromise is the operative word for Libra, not peace at any price.
Both Saturn and Pluto are also in aspect to the U.S.Venus (Cancer) in the Sibily chart, indicating a slow, steady, but cautious growth on the economic front. This signature also suggests intense diplomatic efforts in regulating our financial markets and
institutions. Progressed Venus in Aries conjunct Chiron in the Sibily chart in the 4th house. The housing and mortgage crisis continues to be a deep wound on the national psyche. Tens of thousands of families continue to feel abandoned and betrayed by their banks and financial lenders. Like Chiron who was well adept at the art of survival skills, so to will thousands of American families facing mortgage foreclosures and bankruptcies.
Uranus makes its station and moves direct on December 1, 2009 at 23 degrees of Pisces. Uranus stations are like sticking your finger into a wall socket as he ups our amps from 110 to 220! Since Uranus is the cosmic electrician he will either produce a power surge, or if not properly grounded will short-circuit our efforts and blow a fuse. The intent of Uranus is to produce change and those who are resistant to change (fixed signs, earth signs) will generally have a difficult times breaking old patterns and
routines. It is absolutely vital to approach things with an open hand and especially with an open mind! Uranus is often called the Awakener. Uranus’s sojourn through Pisces has helped many awaken out of their spiritual amnesia.
Saturn in Libra exactly conjuncts the MC in the Sibily chart for the United States. The pressures on the president are enormous. In the eyes of many the president is perceived as being too politically passive (Libra?) and lacks the courage to implement real
change. In last months newsletter I mentioned the last time Saturn made its ingress into Libra was on September 22,1980 the very day Iraq invaded Iran. There was the assassination attempt on president Reagan back in March of 1981. Abraham Lincoln was killed and the United States was enmeshed in a Civil war back in 1862. Saturn will make its return to its natal position in the Sibily chart come next November just in time for the general elections of 2010? Could this be a harbinger of things to come such as a strong conservative (Saturn) turn out? Or, will the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Pisces prevail? Historically Jupiter/Uranus cycles are times of new scientific breakthroughs and discoveries. These are also times historically that coincide with Liberal and progressive empowerment. We shall see?
