To Purge Is To Heal. Scorpio New Moon
Intense energy continues to seduce us this week, as Mercury (thoughts, communications, journeys) joins Sun (ego, identity) in Scorpio on Monday, October 24. What seems to be leading us, is coming from within, where our most private desires, intimate jealousies, and darkest temptations have been withheld and caged. As vision intensifies – loving kindness, brutal truth or stinging words will begin to penetrate – […]

The Scorpio Sun squares Vesta in Leo, at 0 degrees. A focus on what’s bright and beautiful is challenged by the Shadow. Leo is ruled by the Sun, so there is extra resonance here -…

Happy Birthday Scorpio
A confession: I know I’m not supposed to have astrological favourites, but I do love the Mars ruled signs. I especially love Scorpio. Perhaps it’s because I’ve got a decent Plutonian signature to my chart; perhaps it’s because I have…

The October 30th New Moon (7 degrees Scorpio) gets things off to a quiet start. Scorpio has a rep for being dramatic, but this Fixed sign is quite deliberate. Nothing happens…
Why Is Scorpio Repulsive?
Raven asked on, How To Raise A Scorpio Child, “Why is Scorpio so repulsive?” I’m not repulsed by Scorpio. I’m attracted. But I understand why this quality is associated with the sign. It’s because Scorpio is magnetic. A lot of people … Read More…

What’s The Black Moon In Scorpio About: October 30, 2016?
The new moon takes place midday on October 30th at 7 degrees Scorpio. First, I want to deal with this “Black Moon” deal. That designation is dramatic, angst-producing, clickbait for the most part. I say that because people can’t even agree … Read More…
October 17th, 2016: Venus in Scorpio Aspects Vesta and Ceres, Pallas Stations Direct
Albert Anker, 1875, “Young Mother Contemplating Her Sleeping Child in Candlelight” – Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org
Venus in Scorpio trines Vesta, at 29 degrees Cancer, and makes an inconjunct to Ceres Rx, at 29 degrees Aries. The focus on what you love will deepen, and the flow may become almost obsessive. The greater the intensity of devotion, the greater the tension between this and something independent that’s being nurtured.
Vesta and Ceres are squaring each other (this aspect was exact on October 16th), triggering a crisis between birth/rebirth (Ceres) and devotion (Vesta). Focus in one area will clash with nurturing in another area. Compulsive attraction/love (Venus in Scorpio) will trigger this issue. Vesta is associated with purity (purity of intent, discipline) and Ceres is associated with mothering. When the two are at odds, difficulties with children and parental roles can come up.
The solution is to not plunge so far into what you want, that you forget about what’s struggling to be free. Love that is one thousand fathoms deep is powerful, but it can drown the independent spark. Love deeply, love completely, but make sure you can see the light on the surface.
Pallas in Aquarius stations direct, at 18 degrees. The unconventional pattern that’s been under review since August 12th, 2016 (when Pallas Rx reentered Aquarius) is now complete. You can move forward with it, or let it go.
