Tip of the week

The cycle of Scorpio is all but over. The New Moon in Sagittarius occurs on November 22 at 4:19 a.m PST. Scorpio time is always deep and intense somehow and this year’s was even more so than usual. That triple conjunction Solar Eclipse is history now but its legacy will live on generally until the next Solar Eclipse in April and for everyone who felt the full scourge of Scorpio well… its effects will be forever more.

As mentioned in last week’s Horoscope, this is the second of four New Moons occurring at 0 degrees of each respective Sign – Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius. 0 like 29 degrees, the alpha and the omega meeting point of a sign when viewed in its own singular light, are the first among equals regarding critical or ‘anaretic’ degrees in Astrology. Metaphorically speaking, 0 is raw, potent and packed with potential yet it is new, green and inexperienced. At the other end of the spectrum 29 degrees indicates an evolutionary theme that has completed its cycle through a particular lesson or area of focus yet it must now pass the big, final exam.

It is worth noting that the 0 Scorpio New Moon has served to bring the whole issue of male/female equality linked especially to civilized and respectful sexual conduct to the fore, true to Scorpio’s style as the sign symbolic of psychology and depth psychology in particular. Interestingly, there will be two New Moons in Aquarius, the sign of the process of democracy, the first at 0 and the second at 29 degrees. It may be said that this is life’s way of saying ‘okay humanity, it is now time to address this pivotal theme in order to advance to the left level of fulfilling the ideals of a genuine democracy.’

As for this New Moon, although the Sun, Moon and Venus are close together in Sagittarius, Mercury and Saturn remain in Scorpio’s sacred space. When closely aligned, Saturn the taskmaster and Mercury the student go to work to investigate research and probe deeply to produce insights, which must survive the scalpel of their skeptical scrutiny. Yes, when together these two produce penetrating insights and this is especially so when in the sign of Scorpio. Stay tuned!

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A detour into the depths of your soul has summoned you these past several weeks. Now you know if you are enjoying the heaven state or that of hell or somewhere in between.

Either way, this journey is ending now and pulling you back out into the world of material matters.
