New Moon in Scorpio: Dive In

The November 7th New Moon at 15 deg Scorpio trines Neptune Rx in Pisces. This can give new beginnings a deeply idealistic or healing quality. Trines in water signs indicate events that flow smoothly and easily, especially when Neptune (which dissolves boundaries) is involved.

What begins should roll forward naturally. Or, you may slip into some deep waters before you know what’s happening. Scorpio energy is profound, dark and completely honest: you sink past the secrets and get to the truth.

However, it is encouraging that Jupiter in Scorpio is making an exact trine to the Cancer North Node on this same day and both are trining Chiron Rx in Pisces (29 deg). So there is a Grand Water Trine that encourages you to move forward (North Node) towards a place of inner security and emotional authenticity – this is where you can access some serious healing as you revisit an old wound (Chiron Rx). Jupiter expands the issue so you can’t miss it.

The North Node is ruled by this Moon, so what begins will be an important part of this entire Nodal transit through Cancer/Capricorn. Which is to say, moving past external, rigid definitions of security (Capricorn) towards internal, nurturing security. What really matters, in your gut. What feels (Cancer) real. I’ll write more about this Nodal transit on the day of the ingress (November 6th).

All this Scorpio action might feel a bit heavy, especially if you’re not comfortable with “the feels.” The New Moon could herald increased access to intense emotions, or an event that swamps you with more honesty than you’re prepared for. But it’s all good – sometimes you have to dive in and just feel it. Neptune can soften things a bit by diffusing the intensity, and Jupiter trine Chiron Rx (this aspect was exact on November 1st) can lift you past the pain, once you confront it.

“Why You Will Marry The Wrong Person”

This amusing and insightful talk by philosopher Alain de Botton is a wonderful demonstration of a Sagittarian at full throttle. Brilliant, of course, persuasive and wide-ranging, offering tons of good advice — also, overwhelming and a bit of a know-it-all. I’m posting today for several reasons. First of all, Venus, the planet of love, has just slipped backwards into Libra, the sign of relationships. So maybe we should all be considering why we choose who we choose. Secondly, Jupiter is sitting right on de Botton’s Neptune at 29° Scorpio today. That’s a deeply imaginative Neptune. We don’t have de Botton’s […]

November 2nd, 2018: Waning Sextile and Jupiter Opposes Juno

   Antonio Ambrogio Alciati

  • Scorpio Sun square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (9 deg)

  • Waning Sextile between the Virgo Moon and Scorpio Sun (10 deg)

  • Jupiter in Scorpio opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (28 deg)

Waning Sextile

The Sun/BML square shines a dark light on female empowerment, rebellion and alienation. Being on the outside for not acting the way a woman “should” or for expressing taboo issues of female sexuality may be themes, with a tension that encourages the expression of ego and purpose. This can trigger the expression of woman’s power, but it won’t be easy and there will be a lot of resistance from others. BML’s destructive side (jealousy/vengeance) may come out.

Fortunately, this aspect is also part of the Waning Sextile with the Virgo Moon, which offers solutions via subtle refinements and attention to detail. You can make things better and progress naturally if you’re aware of the little things – the seemingly inconsequential but important words, the small but vital adjustments/improvements that need to be made. Overall, your goal is to take what’s dark/intense/taboo and refine it.

Jupiter/Juno

The Jupiter/Juno opposition presents the second of two oppositions in Scorpio/Taurus. Juno was Jupiter’s wife, and she was faithful to him despite his consistent philandering. Especially in the Fixed sign of Taurus, she represents the unshakable commitment.

When she opposes Jupiter, the ideals of/desire for expansion in that commitment will be at odds with the agreement itself. This is a key turning point between partners, but it’s not new -the issue may have emerged around August 3rd with the first opposition. One partner may be after deep transformation of the partnership while the other wants things to remain as is. This final opposition (with Juno Rx) suggests a re-evaluation of what was previously fixed. Material resources, set routines or security may be issues.

In general terms, this can represent a massive change or ending in any agreement (personal or professional). The enduring partnership must evolve or die.
