In the late waning phase of the Moon in the early degrees of Scorpio, the Nodes of the Moon left Leo and Aquarius and entered Cancer and Scorpio, where they will transit for the next 18-months. Then on November 8, just a little less than a day after the Scorpio New Moon on November 7, Jupiter enters its own sign of Sagittarius.

The Scorpionic context of these events stamps them with the influence of it suggesting that the next 12 (Jupiter cycle) to 18-months (Node Cycle) will produce some extra powerful themes of change and transformation in the form of rebirth. Interestingly, these two themes can be understood as conflicting as one seeks security while the other adventure.

Among the core themes of Scorpio is purification. This is among its higher attributes. Yet, the process is seldom easy. It can also be understood as recycling. Working in close alignment with time, it serves to clear away the old to make way for the new. ALL aspects of existence undergo this process at both a gradual pace and sometimes suddenly. It is the sudden events that are usually the most challenging and upsetting.

Of course, this is occurring all the time as all things are subject to cycles and these are do not occur at the same time. How to measure the process of cycles, the beginning, culmination, and endpoint is a significant feature of astrology. The end of a cycle represents ending, completion, and death and the beginning represents a rebirth process and is where the principles of alpha and omega literally meet.

How these will influence each of us personally must be assessed on an individual basis, as is true with all astrological influences.

Yet, Horoscopes do provide a middle ground between the generic and the specific by bringing emphasis to how it will influence each Sun Sign. The reason they work at all is due to the subtle but very real influence of the sun’s light and is therefore specific to Western Astrology, which is based on the sun’s light and, by extension, the seasonal round. This week’s Horoscope will offer a glimpse for each sign.
