The Astrological Sky for November

 

       The New Moon that occurred on November 3 at 11 degrees of Scorpio was also a rare Hybrid Total Solar Eclipse. In ancient times eclipses, especially solar eclipses have caused wonderment and also a certain amount of fear in people who observed them as the light was blacked out by the Moon passing between the Earth and the Sun. In modern society eclipses are now seen as trigger points for change, transformation and possible challenges in our lives depending on the house and aspects in our charts for about 6 months to a year or until the next new solar occurs.

 

        Solar and lunar eclipses always occur together about two weeks apart, one at the Full Moon and one at the New Moon. There are New and Full Moons each month, but they are not eclipses unless the two lights are in close proximity with the Moon’s nodes. Eclipses are extra potent new or full moons that can signify intense new beginnings or endings and are often labeled as undesirable because they sometimes appear to provoke a crisis, but they are really a gift from the cosmos, showing where a more healthy state of affairs will evolve.

       This Solar Eclipse was quite powerful. It occurring in the midst of a peak period in the Uranus/Pluto square and  Saturn is also connected to this eclipse as is the Mercury/North Node conjunction. This combination can take us on a deeper journey with the themes of emotional intensity, power and control, penetration, secrecy, fears, endings, death, healing and self-mastery. The Scorpio emphasis will also help us in gaining deeper understanding and the core essence or truth of a matter. While Solar Eclipses usher in beginnings, they also often usually bring with them endings. That’s because in order for something to firmly root so that it can flourish, space needs to be made. They can also bring life-changing events or reflections occur around the time of an eclipse. It is best to be open to unexpected change as new energies will be thrust into our lives, especially in the houses that the transiting Pluto square Uranus were in and the Scorpio house on your chart where the eclipse lands could be one where you have to learn some difficult and possibly challenging lessons. Also on Nov 21-22 when Mercury passes over the degree of the Nov 3 Solar in 11-12 degrees of Scorpio there will be the opportunity to activate new energies and a higher perspective in your life. So pay attention.  I found this information on this newsletter : http://cayelincastell.com/2013-november-free-celestial-timings/

       The astrological sky for November continues with Mercury in retrograde, meaning it appears to be moving backwards, from October 21th through November 11th. Another key time to watch is around the 12th-26th of November when Mercury hits the shadow point of this retrograde. Basically, the shadow point is when a planet comes to the same place in the sky it was when it stationed retrograde, in this case 18 degrees Scorpio, until Nov 27 when the retrograde cycle will be completely over and we can breathe a breath of fresh air into our new project/ideas and be able to easily communications with our friends and family during the holidays.

       Mercury retrogrades have challenges related to delays, miscommunications, and computer or car breakdowns,. During Mercury retrograde is NOT the time to sign contracts. Mercury retrograde is a time to rethink our needs, catch-up or finish things, not a time to move forward with new projects. It is important to use this time to study, tend to old business, improve communications skills, and update equipment.  Keep plans flexible so they can adapt after the cycle is complete.

       Every astrological event has a purpose and is by design able to help us in some way. We just need to attune to the energies present with awareness as to what it is about. Here are some things to do while Mercury is retrograde: Rethink your plans Reconsider your options Reconnect with someone from your past Regroup at a core level Revisit past ideas Recommit to your New Year’s resolutions Revamp your mission statement Rewrite your resume or bio Redo your budget Reinvent yourself in some way Have you be “re-ing” in some way?

       Here is what Jeff Jawer wrote in his Stariq New Moon Report at the end that is right on the make about the New Moon in Scorpio. “Addition by subtraction is a common theme of the New Moon in Scorpio, and is even more evident this time around. The Solar Eclipse and presence of restrictive Saturn reflect possible burdens that darken our lives with onerous obligations and self-doubt. Yet stripping expectations down to the core will reveal where we are wasting time and energy, freeing us to create more satisfying lives. http://www.stariq.com/pagetemplate/article.asp?PageID=3089”

       On Sunday, November 17, 7:16 am PST, 10:16 am EST there will be a Full Moon with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio at 26 degrees of Taurus showing us there are many roads to the fulfillment of our dreams and visions. The shadow side of both Taurus and Scorpio is a resistance to change and being too willful. This is a favorable time for persistence with our goals, making them more concrete and useful. Nature provides without asking for anything in return and relationships are more rewarding when accepting and enjoying what we have is greater than our fear of loss. The Sabian symbol keynotes for these degrees emphasize having appreciation for the goodness in our lives, as well as the ability to adjust to new situations by tuning into their requirements. Simple joys are the best remedies for complicated emotions.

       I am looking forward to Thursday, November 21, 7:49 pm PST, 10:49 pm EST, when the Sun moves into Sagittarius and I can channel the intense energies of Scorpio into the expansive and adventures energies of Sagittarius in my fourth house with a trip to my home state of California.

       I just thought about the over-doing tendencies of Sagittarius and I wish everyone( including myself )  a safe, health and happy holiday season  Let’s all balance this sign's positive energies
with some attention to details, healthy foods and some time out for exercise and quite time can increases the chances of achieving our highest good.

       I will be in Seattle until Dec 5^th and then off to Los Angeles for some Sun and a change to read my poetry in Venice Ca.  I will be doing reading until Dec 3 in Seattle. Check out my website for more information about readings or just call and we can discuss a consultation. 206 478-2724

October Guide

 for your business and personal life

Let’s Fall Up

We make it through the Libra New Moon on Oct. 4^th at 12 degrees, with the challenging T-Square pattern. All New Moons ask us to shadow dance with the Moon Goddess Luna, helping us focus on those images and beliefs that block us from moving forward in our life. A New Moon asks for introspection. In the dark of the moon we can find answers when we show up with intention. Libra is about balance, harmony and partnering. In order to partner we must own our boundaries and know our self-worth.

 Here is an excerpt of Jeff Jawers New Moon and Full Moon report from Stariq website http://www.stariq.com/pagetemplate/main.asp  They explain astrology very well.  I decided to take a break and just enjoy the movies at the Seattle Gay and Lesbian film Festival. I am also starting a new line of greeting cards with my photographs and poems. It is interesting that the New Moon in Libra falls in my second house of resources.  I just bought a new printer and have a new partner at Celebrate Yourself greeting cards and books. Check out my greeting cards and books on my website http://www.marcymoonstar.com/greeting_cards/GreetingCards.html

 “The New Moon in gracious Libra is usually a peaceful event that's excellent for getting relationships on track. This lunation, though, is rocked and rolled by tense aspects with rebellious Uranus, provocative Pluto and excessive Jupiter that can push emotions to extremes. We want both freedom and commitment in a volatile environment of mood shifts, contrasts and surprising circumstances. Still, this Sun-Moon conjunction can spur breakthroughs and discoveries that shatter the limits of how we interact with others. Excitement could be restored to current alliances and motivate us to make new connections unbound by old social rules. Experiment, explore and stay flexible to tap into the power of these transformational transits.

The independent Aries Moon's opposition to the Sun in co-dependent Libra is a Lunar Eclipse that sheds light on relationships. We may be pulled between the desire to share life with a partner and the urge to go it alone. Putting these issues on the table can create crises yet will bring clarity to those able to see the value of both sides. There are situations when the liberty to act on our own is perfect and others when compromising with people is necessary. Romantics seeking perfect love and singles who want to avoid any entanglements might be disappointed by this revelation, but learning to adapt to changing situations makes it possible to find fulfillment either way.”

Mars opposite Neptune
Saturday, October 19

This contrasting aspect with pointed Mars in sharp Virgo and diffuse Neptune in fuzzy Pisces makes it hard to concentrate force and sustain an effort. Self-sacrifice, passive-aggressive behavior and wasting energy are ineffective expressions of this aspect. Compassion, imagination and idealism are positive manifestations, as are the spiritual and artistic endeavors favored by this inspired transit. Yet even if you're motivated by kindness, being tender with yourself is as important as showing sensitivity toward others to avoid exhaustion.

Mercury Retrograde
Monday, October 21

The messenger planet's reversal in profound Scorpio turns minds inward to expose secrets and reveal hidden motivations. Yes, messages are often muddled during the three-week reversal period that starts today and ends on November 10. Data could be lost while technology and travel problems may emerge. Nevertheless, this is an opportunity to review recent decisions and take corrective action if necessary. Double-check details and verify critical bits of information to reduce the likelihood of errors.” http://www.stariq.com/pagetemplate/article.asp?PageID=3089

 It can be helpful to know where the New Moon is in your birth- chart. When you know the house placement of the New Moon in your birth chart for a given month, you will know the area of life that is best for you to focus on for your personal growth and success for that particular New Moon.

September Moon-Wise Astrological Guide

September 2013

 

This week there was a New Moon on September 5 at 4:36 AM PDT. The exact conjunction of the Sun and Moon means the Moon is not visible. Most ancient cultures celebrated the New Moon when the tiny crescent Moon was first visible in the evening sky. This will most likely occur tomorrow night depending on your time zone and horizon line.

This month’s New Moon falls at 14 degrees of Virgo (Sun and Moon). While everyone experiences the energies of the New Moon, if you have planets or your Ascendant/Descendant or Nadir/Midheaven) around this degree in Virgo or the other mutable signs—Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, the New Moon in Virgo may influence you more intensely.

The best use of the New Moon in Virgo is to developing new practical skills and healthy habits that can lead you into a successful harvest of your skills and talents in the fall months to come. Philosophical and expansive Jupiter's sextile to the Sun and Moon adds a sense of purpose to our daily tasks and infuses new projects with meaning and perspective that allow us to stay the course when the going gets tough and to eventually achieve our goals. The transformative Pluto's in Capricorn is in a supportive trine to this lunation helping us to discover hidden talents and untapped energy that can also make us more efficient and productive this month.

 In addition, this New Moon has an unusual aspect, Saturn conjunct the North Node in Scorpio. Saturn represents our responsibilities and limitations. The North Node represents our future destiny or our path of greatest growth. Essentially this combination wants us to let go of old patterns that interfere with our soul's mission. This energy reminds us that we have bigger responsibilities than just our jobs, families, homes and so forth. We have spiritual responsibilities too. This alignment will be going on for the next few weeks, but exact on September 8 & 9.

 The energy of the first two weeks of September will be intense with the traditional malefic planets Mars moving into a square with Saturn during the first week of September. The astrological square between Mars and Saturn can be positive if we focus our energies on restructure the masculine principle as it relates to fulfilling our purpose. This can be done as we re-aligning our personal goals with the Divine Will for the purpose of bringing love and light into the troubled world we live in. There's also energy for needed breakthroughs with Mars trine Uranus so you can take new, innovative actions that will bring you growth. So writing your plans now with Mars square Saturn will turn the green light from the Universe up high to give you the energy to manifest your plans and goals for your future.

 On September 19 the Pisces Full Moon at 27 degree of Pisces at 4:13 am illuminating and intensifying our feeling, intuitions and creative abilities. Our culture tends to teach us that we must always be happy, but that just isn’t how life works. We are meant to feel all our feelings and to allow them to have expression. The healing experience comes when we have compassion for what we are feeling and allow ourselves to feel it. When we have compassion, love ourselves unconditionally, and allow ourselves to feel the pain or grief we are feeling, we are creating space for the universe to reflect more love back to us.

In this Full Moon time Mercury at 17 degrees of Libra is squaring Jupiter 17 Cancer  at 7:20 pm. The deeper message of Mercury in Libra is reflected through our relationships first to ourselves and then to others. Mercury is activating Jupiter and the Grand Water Trine. This is a time when it might be helpful to risk being open and vulnerable. It takes great courage to be vulnerable and yet it can produce surprising results that allow for a deep profound healing bringing everyone, even strangers, closer together.

 September 22, Sunday Happy Equinox as the Sun moves into Libra today at 1:44 pm. The Equinoxes are the seasonal time of balance and harmony when the days and nights are equal in length. During the Equinoxes, the Earth’s auric or magnetic field is affected by the Sun’s alignment with the Earth’s equator.

 September 29, Sunday Mercury moves into Scorpio at 4:38 am beginning a long journey in this sign due to Mercury’s station retrograde on October 21 at 19 Scorpio. Mercury travels through Scorpio for just a little over two months until December 4 when it enters Sagittarius.

 
This is a time of harvest and gratitude. The lesson this month is to be open to your greater good now, and be willing to let go of the left over energies from the grand trine in water. Even though the astrological energies will be very intense this month, if you take the time to smell the flowers you will be able to find peace within your heart. Let there be peace in the world and let it begin with me.

 It can be helpful to know where the New Moon is in your birth- chart. When you know the house placement of the New Moon in your birth chart for a given month, you will know the area of life that is best for you to focus on for your personal growth and success for that particular New Moon.
