Astrology for November-December 2007 - The New Moon of Scorpio
by Robert Wilkinson
Today we have a New Moon in Scorpio at the Transfiguration degree, ushering in a several-week period where we will see evidence of "a job well done," bringing some phase of our lives to completion and illuminating our power of regeneration. This New Moon will produce inspiration, transformation, and many realizations as well as the end of obscurities, vagueness, and deceptions in critical areas of our lives.
The West Coast of the US has early Taurus rising, while New Mexico has late Aries rising. Miami has late Taurus rising, while NY has mid-Gemini rising. Hopping the pond, London and Amsterdam both have late Leo rising. Moving Eastward, Estonia and Istanbul have mid-Virgo rising, India has mid-to-late Libra rising, Bangkok has mid-Scorpio rising, Western Australia has mid-Sag rising, and Melbourne has mid-Capricorn rising.
We find that this is a Locomotive pattern, with Mars in Cancer leading the occupied segment and Uranus in Pisces closing the span. This implies an imbalanced period that is power rather than weakness, and the Grand Water Trine of the Sun and Moon both trine the ruler of the lunation Mars along with Uranus should produce emotional harmony, understanding, or at least a flow.
The New Moon is on a Transfiguration point, showing all of us that we've hit the end of an old pattern and finished some magnetic test, challenge, or activity. We are all challenged to become flexible yet show strength, and the Moon-Mars in mutual reception is very strong, especially since Mars is in the Scorpio sector of Cancer. Mars is a very important planet in this lunation, so let's explore some aspects.
Mars is septile Saturn, which when coupled with Mercury septile Saturn and Jupiter biseptile Saturn would seem to indicate more critical forks in the road of destiny for all of us, wherever these fall and in whatever houses they rule. As Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn rule 2/3 of our reality, this lunation will cut a wide wake indeed! This would imply several more weeks of weirdness, but these forks in the road are more about what to do now that the old era is over and we're confronted with whatever we succeeded at that has brought us to this transfigured state.
Saturn conjunct the South Node shows more work, more following through on our line of least resistance, and demonstrating our ability to take responsibility while releasing any old subservient, worry, or nervous patterns left over from our prior life. Yes, the work load may have been heavy, but there are benefits to be captured in the future.
The Lunation semisquare Venus indicates internal crises about how to view the overall process so we can identify with a larger sweep of cycles at work, and marks a period of difficulty between the Cancer-Leo parts of our lives with that which rules the Taurus and Libra parts of our lives. Of some importance is that Venus is the dispositor of Mercury and itself, while Jupiter disposes Uranus and Pluto. The rest are primarily influenced by the Moon-Mars mutual reception.
Other aspects of note are the Lunation quintiles Saturn while squaring Neptune, Mercury is in a tredecile with Mars and Mars is biquintile Neptune. These are productive of unique gifts and circumstances, and we should be able to encounter ideas and information in some serendipitous ways.
The square of the Lunation to Neptune opens the voids at 18 and 20 degrees of Taurus and Leo, showing alchemy is in the air. Clean out your perceptions and obsolete ways of viewing things in order to see which way the "winds of destiny" are blowing, and consciously link yourself with the source of life on Earth.
Of special importance are the Venus binovile Mars, Venus binovile Jupiter, and Mars quadranovile Jupiter. See how seemingly opposite realizations share a common base as you reach another level of spiritual realization about people and promises, and accept or reject the relationships that either are in harmony or disharmony with your own ideals and future vision. The Lunation novile Pluto shows this is the end of a long cycle that began last December, which should bring some things out of the "desert" or "off the shelf" showing the beauty and functionality of what began then.
