New Moon in Scorpio

 


If you are wondering whether I've been away for a wee while, then yes, you are right. Work priorities dictated that I had to devote all my time to reaching deadlines. 

This still holds, though I though I'd just post a little article on today's New Moon in Scorpio as it seems to be pretty interesting. 

First of all, we are going through a Mercury retrograde period when anything to do with communication can go belly up. Remember the Cloudfare outage a few days ago? Well, lo and behold when I tried to get my graphic table working today - it ain't cooperating. Mercury retrograde. Because of this, it was impossible to use it to label the planets in the diagram; I could just about try to draw straight lines with a mouse. Massive fail. 

A New Moon in Scorpio opposite Uranus? Way to go, Uranus. New beginnings beckon which promise sudden change. Uranus is also at the anaretic degree (29th degree) which is sort of ominous. Uranus doesn't like restriction, so any attempt to set down new patterns will feel more like an intense transformation. With Uranus, expect sudden breakthroughs which demand the release of old patterns. Scorpio is an water sign (the kind where still waters run deep) so we're talking about emotional patterns here. This New Moon therefore offers a potent moment for renewal.

Mars rules Scorpio and it goes without saying that we need to pay our respects to the red planet. At the moment of this New Moon (07:47 this morning 20/11) Mars was on the eastern horizon (ascendant). Mars is in Sagittarius is all about adventurous energy and restless curiosity. The energy of Mars couples with the optimism of Sagittarius, creating fiery enthusiasm for whatever vision you hold. That, together with the need for no restriction (Uranus) when setting down new patterns for the lunar month, sounds exciting but it could also threaten others who want to maintain the status quo. Jupiter trines Saturn very nicely, creating a balance between overdoing things and being cautious.

Let's face it, weird stuff is going on. A Mercury retrograde is tough enough (in Scorpio - this is about hidden things, information, secrets). It is no secret that the world is changing fast. AI has boomed and we're on the verge of quantum computing. We have five retrograde planets in the sky at the moment (Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto) which might explain why we could be feeling at times that reality is slipping. 

Long story short; be watchful. Think things through. What you see may not be what you think you see. 

Blessings be yours, 
Cindy

Let's get Sirius - it's a Leo New Moon

Image
  For some odd reason (which in my sphere is not odd at all), the importance of the Leo season has been somewhat brought to my attention in a number of ways. Walking past a jewellery shop, there was a display of 'the age of Leo' range of rings and more. Switch on the TV, and the Lionesses chase a ball. That and other small but significant signs. And I'm a Leo native. It's Leo season. The month of July brings with it what is known as the 'dog days' - the intense heat associated with the 'dog star' Sirius, whose heliacal rising occurs this year on the 29th July (but I bet you can feel the fire too - temperatures here in the Med are crazy hot). Sopdet Taken from Wikipedia This fixed star, known as Sopdet to the ancient Egyptians, was a celestial herald of renewal, appearing just before sunrise at the time of the flooding of the River Nile. In this respect Sirius - associated with the goddess Isis, signified a life-giving event that marked the beginning of t...

Uranus changes sign!

Image
  The cosmos is stirring up a storm - yes, a storm - as the planet associated with rebellion and innovation changes sign from Taurus to Gemini. Yesterday, 7th July, we bid goodbye to the presence of Uranus in grounded Taurus and witnessed its entry into the communicative Gemini, where it will reside for the next 7 years. Uranus orbits once around the Sun every 84 years, which roughly means that at around that age, you may witness a Uranus return to its natal position in your chart. But what does all this herald?  Uranus is what is called 'an outer planet', meaning that it is one of the planets which lies outside of Saturn's orbit. Until the late 1700s, there were only seven planets known to mankind. With the discovery of Uranus in 1781, astrologers began to attribute certain traits to the planet. It was a time of revolution, new ideas, freedom and individuality. Let's not forget the Declaration of Independence of 1776, and the French Revolution of 1789. Even our tiny is...

Times are a-changing....

  This is the second Virgo New Moon in a calendar month and if you hadn't noticed by now, the world has changed significantly since the New Moon at the beginning of the month. That in itself is a sign of the times, and whereas before it took days for news of events to reach news portals, we now see it live on a screen. The thing is, even if we see it on TV or online, we now doubt whether what we see is the truth. I mention this because Virgo is a sign ruled by Mercury the Messenger. The Sabian symbol for six degrees of Libra is "the ideals of a man abundantly crystallised". Ideals are made crystal clear - unlike the fogginess of reality we deal with at the moment.  But there's more to this very powerful New Moon than that. Let's look at the story the sky is offering us at this time.  Look at the diagram to understand the different aspects of tomorrow's eclipse chart. To begin with, kite formations in astrology are generally seen as a beneficial aspect where de...
