13:40 Scorpio Sun and Moon

The New Moon takes place at the same degree that Venus stationed at before moving retrograde in Scorpio this fall. That makes THIS New Moon one of the more powerful New Moons of your entire life. Yep, you read that correctly. More powerful and important than many other events in your life. It certainly is important in helping shape and frame the life you are about to embark upon.

Pay close attention to what you see, hear, learn, realize and come to understand during this New Moon‘s energy. That includes what happened last week as the dark of the moon occurred as well as the next few days as the New Moon plants seeds for your future.

Since early September 2010, Venus has been traveling through her shadow. She moved forward to station at 13 Scorpio on October 8, 2010. Then Venus started moving backwards. Venus is spending 100 days rolling around in the over the top passions and intense emotions in Scorpio. She about to spend 22 days in Libra as she returns to Libra on Sunday and moves towards her station direct on November 18. When a planet stops on a degree, it becomes highly sensitive. Venus stopped at 13 degrees of Scorpio.

Venus has been traveling through the Via Combusta ~ the path of fire ~ as she’s been undertaking her retrograde journey this fall. The Path of Fire is a dark section of the heavens with dark, difficult but passionate fixed stars that planets dance through. Her recent journey has illuminated our own dark, difficult yet passionate parts of our lives.

Venus is attempting to get us clear on what we need, want or desire. A friend had a conversation with someone who said about his behavior towards her “I know you WANT it but you don’t NEED it.” Aside from wanting to smack him, (who is he to make that statement to her?) in some senses he is right in sync with the heavens. Right now, we all are giant bundles of wants, needs and desires. We are sorting through them to find out what or which we actually DO want, need or desire. And how exactly to phrase that want, need or desire in words or what actions we need to take to get it.

So the New Moon will get you clear on the differences in your being between want, need and desire. Pay attention to the messages from the heavens.

The New Moon cast for Washington, D.C. also has a Finger of God pointing toward the Midheaven from Saturn in Libra in at the edge between the second and third house and Pallas Athena in Sagittarius the 4th house. Look at what you physically value and what you SAY you value compared to the patterns you actually follow.

The Midheaven is 13 Scorpio and apex of the Finger of God is joined to the fixed star Menkar and parallel to Sualocin. Menkar, the whale or sea monster star, brings a toughening of the native through tests of endurance, trials and tribulations as the unconscious surfaces to become conscious. Menkar marks the sudden emergence of deep, unconscious issues that need to be dealt with. The individual as well as collective unconscious erupts with moments of great collective insight, chaos or mayhem. Like a sea beast from the deep, we must transform or become the victim.

On the other hand, Sualocin is in the Dolphin constellation and known for having a cheerful, playful nature with at touch of talent or mastery. Sualocin is parrallel to the apex of the Finger of God and the Midheaven. Let the energy of the New Moon play with your mind and heart like the dolphin acts as the friendly guide in the sea to the sailors. Dive with Sualocin into the depths of your being. Delight in the depths of your mind. Play in the wake of the emerging unconscious energy from the sea monster.

So your job is to allow and watch for your unconscious to erupt with the message(s) that Venus in retrograde motion and the New Moon in Scorpio are attempting to give to you. Then, once, the great sea monster breaks through from underneath the water, making the unconscious conscious, dive in and swim over to it, riding on the Dolphin of creative play. Gently greet that new wave of understanding with a playful heart and open mind. It is all part of your journey to the next chapter of your life.

The New Moon also features a fast moving moon that will process the information rapidly to help you integrate it quickly into your being. Accept what surfaces.

There also is a grand trine in water involving Retrograde Venus, South Node in Cancer and stationing Neptune and Chiron. Neptune and Chiron station on either side of this New Moon adding additional emotion heft and weight to the emerging energies. It is time to move forward again with our creative vision of what we want for our lives. Mercury’s closing square in Scorpio to Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius offers us a psychological method or manner to process the issues emerging from our being.

If we can appreciate that the cycles in the heavens describe for us the place we are as well as where we are going. The planets are there for us to ripen and grow within and through. We can begin to look at our life as a series of stages, turns on the wheel of fate ~ evolutions, revolutions, each and every one of them voluntarily undertaken by our soul.

So listen to the call of the sea monster or whale as it surfaces and blows a volume of water up into the air so you can see it. Swim playfully with the dolphin so you understand what your soul is trying to say to you. Don’t be afraid to see your patterns. Do take heart that once you see them, you understand them. That is all that is require. To look, unafraid, and see what needs to be seen. The rest will take care of itself.

Lynda Hill’s interpretation of the Sabian image for the New Moon in Scorpio reflects and emphasizes the message of communication and connection again.
TELEPHONE LINEMEN AT WORK INSTALLING NEW CONNECTIONS

Commentary: ‘Telephone Linemen at Work Installing New Connections’ shows people working and concentrating on laying the ‘Lines’ for ‘Connections’ so that people may communicate with each other easily and effectively. They are laying cables to allow for the smooth functioning of the ‘Telephone’ system. They have a clear understanding of how the equipment works and how necessary and valuable it is in enabling people to link with each other.

Oracle: This Symbol reflects an increase in the forms of communication that you can have access to, or that you have more communications coming to you. You may find that there has been a failure in communicating your thoughts, ideas or emotions lately. Something is being (or needs to be) done or laid down, in order to solve, repair or patch up the situation. There is nothing to be achieved by worrying about any recent “connection” failures, however something should be done to set about making or repairing the necessary ‘Lines’ of communication. Sometimes advice and help must be called on for all to be resolved. This may need to be expert advice, but it can also be gathered from your own common sense. This can symbolize expansion into areas like the Internet, faxes or business lines. It can also represent the spiritual connection to the “other side”, even channeling. Sometimes, in the ‘Installing of New Connections’ problems of crossed-lines occur. It’s important to listen for the real truth in the communications that are being made, not to all the faint chitchat that surrounds what’s being said. Networking and new lines of communications often open up after this Symbol is revealed.

Well if this is the wrong number, why did you answer it? James Thurber
