First, it squares the last Solar Eclipse of August 11th, 2018, at 18º Leo, indicating the turning point of the issues it arouse for us and put us back on tract to process it, solve it, transform it or plainly get rid of it, so we are ready to take on a new step in our personal mission when the next set of eclipses come. The next Solar Eclipse comes on January 6th, 2019 at 15º 25' Capricorn, followed by the Lunar Eclipse on January 21st, 2019, at 0º 52' Leo. Eclipses are stepping stones in our personal and collective evolution. They bring things out of our control, challenges that push us to make new decisions, new beginnings, to leave things behind that are no longer useful, and take a new path to learn new things. All they while they guide us towards becoming who we really are, accomplishing what we came to Earth to do. Eclipses are called karmic because they bring situations that seem to fall upon us, however they are the result of all the previous situations, circumstances and decisions of our past existences as an eternal soul. Believe it or not, we weren't born yesterday...
The configuration of the New Moon in Scorpio 15º 11' on November 7, 2018 is called a bowl. Look at the North Lunar Node at 29º Cancer that looks like the handle of a basket formed by all the other planets on the other side.
The meaning of this is that all the energy is focused on the North Lunar Node. Since the "basket brim" is marked by Uranus and Venus in opposition, the South Lunar Node is the midpoint of the basket, so the Nodal axis plays the fundamental role in the chart.
The rulers of the Nodes, the Moon and Saturn, are 50º apart in a karmic relationship that brings stressful changes so we can revise and refresh ideals and goals.
Since Saturn is very strong in his own house where the South Node just moved in, it gives a new structure to the establishment, to the social and political organization, and in your personal life, it reorganizes your public image, your place in the world, in areas like career and social status.
The Moon is unhappy still in Scorpio, shining its light on unsavory truths, searching deeply for the information it needs for the rest of the month, is supported by the Scorpio ruler, Pluto, that gives this New Moon the intensity to transform our emotional life with the courage to clean our dark spots.
And what is it about the North Node in Cancer that all the planets are sending their energy in its direction?
The Lunar Nodes are the evolution of our collective consciousness. But in your Natal Chart they mark your chosen path in life, the path that you decided to take before you were born. In fact they may appear to bring you life events, conditions, and circumstances that are out of our control, when in reality, they come to help us manifest our life purpose.
In Cancer, humanity as a whole is aiming its focus on safety, security, home, family, refuge, shelter, and basic emotional needs of nurturing and care. Capricorn in turn, it is shedding the old skin of the public social status, of our function out in the world when we find ourselves sacrificing too much of our personal, home and family life for it. We are letting go of everything that doesn't work there anymore, and we are inclined to find comfort and joy in our most intimate environment.
The New Moon is here an intense new beginning, is the seed that Cancer will nurture, water and care for to unfold during the next 18 months that the North Node transits there.
Jupiter and Chiron closing the Grand Trine with the North Node in Cancer can indicate healing or hurting, and also both at the same time, which one can easily see in the collective. This brings an overwhelming feeling that things are unfair, unjust, brings an awareness of flawed morals, or finding faith in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Like this, Jupiter and Chiron seem to fuel the process of changing direction into a world more focus on the needs of people, the feminine energy and family, instead of looking for support in authority figures, the masculine energy or the governmental institutions. It's worth exploring more about Jupiter Chiron connection.
This New Moon trines Neptune in Pisces with a small orb. It can take us into a spiritual ride of high ideals and big hopes for unconditional love to transform the area of life (astrological house) where Scorpio falls in your Natal Chart. It can inspire us to raise our standards, to set our spiritual boundaries farther out, and since the veil is so thin during the Dark face of the Moon, we can dive deep into intuitive knowledge and understand things that we couldn't see before. Scorpio is deep, Pisces is the Infinite that contains all.
However, we need to be careful in our thinking process. Mercury , the Lord of the Mind and Communication, now in Sagittarius, soon squares Neptune as well. Mercury in Sagittarius is taking us for a huge thinking trip to explore the big picture, to show us the bird view of the forest, and can make us miss the trees. Those of us ruled by Mercury -Gemini and Virgo- find our mind going here there and everywhere, unable to stay put on things. We need to make sure that we zoom into the details of things here, so we don't miss important ones. Especially, because this tense connection with Neptune, will make Mercury more dreamy exploring intuitive insights and inspired information that may either elevate our standards or trap us into delusional ideas. Another consideration is that soon enough Mercury will come back over these degrees to reconsider our thoughts and communications. Mercury Retrograde over the Holiday travel season is no good news. Be aware of possible communication, technology and travel mishaps. Read the small letters when you make agreements, and wait to make big transactions or contracts if at all possible until December 24th, 2018. In fact, the best gifts deals will be found after, in other words right at the last minute before Santa makes his spectacular performance. If you don't believe me, wait to see the unusual mountain of returns in the stores right after Christmas!
Venus Retrograde in Libra will trine Mars, now traveling forward in Aquarius, both Intellectual Air signs! While Venus is still thinking and reflecting about her love and financial relationships and reevaluating her values, Mars, the action planet, our will power is already charging ahead, "yes, let's do it, I am so sure now this is what I want!" Even though this aspect is harmonious and favorable, it means that our feminine receptive energy is kind of at odds with the masculine outgoing drive. How are they reconciled in a harmonious way? Go figure! Make up love? Kisses and hugs? or "Hurry up, I have things to do!" kind of mode.
Remember what happened for you on 12 September 2018 and October 31st 2018 in your love or financial life or both? We received some unexpected out of the blue strike from thunderbolt Uranus! Venus and Uranus were antagonizing, backward motion, in the Fixed Signs of Scorpio and Taurus respectively. And we were caught in their stubbornness, with tension and the impossibility to see through to make a definite decision on the matter at hand. But wait, there is more to this story. They will have another face-to-face meeting again on November 29 2018, this time in the Cardinal signs of Libra and Aries, Venus will be moving forward and we will be finally able to change the situation, make a decision and move forward with a little help from another lightening strike from the Lord of the Heavens. Just for us to gain some perspective, Uranus takes 84 years to go around the Sun, so last time it opposed Venus in Libra from Aries was on October 28, 1934. Do you remember history? What was the situation then? Not happy, right! that's why I am here giving a heads-up. More to come on this in my next blog post.
Until then, I wish you the best, but just in case you need some insight to navigate this in your personal life, send me a Reading Request by email at satsangatyoga@gmail.com. I will read your Natal Chart and find exactly where those transit fall on it, and will explain how it works out for you personally. I hope to 'see' you in that space.
