The New Moon Finding Balance Between the War of the Sexes

Our lovely Luna is in perfect harmony as she nuzzles up to her solar paramour at 15* of Libra in the new moon at 11:46 PM EDT on October 8^th, 2018. The duo also forms a hard square to Pluto/Hades who is at 18* of Capricorn may put the somber realization of just how much there is to be done, to achieve the transformation that is necessary.

Many may be feeling as though they have hit a wall of resistance right now, and deep inside the cold nagging fear that something ominous is floating on the horizon, even as the sun and moon do their best to find peaceful resolutions and moments of calm.

The storm?  While Jupiter/Zeus has drug up a lot of painful memories as he transits Scorpio, Venus/Aphrodite now Retrograde in Scorpio is forming a challenging square to Mars who is at 9* Aquarius, another fixed sign…this will have people digging in on different sides of the issues…and the classical, ‘male vs female’ dynamic stimulated into full charge with the energy of the new moon.

Uranus is opposing Mercury/Hermes who is at 28* of Libra, also trying to find the balance before his exit, but ultimately realizing there needs to be a new form of communication.  We have to reach a higher level of awareness to deal with the detritus of the past.

As we near the full moon, we will find the sun has cozied up to Venus at 01* and 04* Scorpio respectively, as the sun has now found his way to illuminate all that dark mess that creeped out, that magnifying love EL-ement opposes a 0*Uranus now electrifying the moon who is at 1* Taurus, and EL is supporting both via sextile and trine, so what we have here, is some reconciliation and medium ground being found, that hopefully has indeed found that virgin ground of shared values, pain and healing…together.

That of course, comes AFTER the blow ups that could spill out onto the merry making, as Neptune trines Venus on this new moon, from her perch at 14* PIsces.

Careful what you are energizing now, it is going to become much bigger in the future screen of your life, as Venus/Aphrodite/Inanna makes her decent, she is retrograde and does not begin to station direct on November 15th when she has travelled all the way back into Libra, where she will rule again at 25*, coming just weeks after Jupiter ingresses into Sagittarius, where he also rules.  Justice may be on its way after all.

The Lord of the Rings, is Coming Home

Saturn will enter Capricorn on Dec 19, 2017 at 11:48 pm…the last time EL entered Capricorn, was in February 13, 1988.  If you look back, you can see where you were, the lessons you learned and the lessons you learned during this last Saturn/EL’s cycle.

Think about this, Saturn has been roaming around the wheel, (the plane of the ecliptic) since Feb 6^th back in 1991.

Picture an upward spiral, you may be in the same point with Saturn again, but you are now on a whole new level of awareness…lessons learned…or not?

Pluto, has been devastating and destroying all in its wake since his entry into Capricorn back in January of 2008 and of course we have been struggling through the Pluto/Uranus world squares, T Squares and Cardinal Crosses since too.

So, as ole’ Hades has been burning down all things Capricorn: Government, top of the mountain (and we literally see the flat cutting of mountain tops) all hierarchy, pyramid systems, etc. he makes way for Saturn/EL to finally return home, after Saturn has taken his sickle and cut down all the dross around the wheel.  Saturn returning home, will start the process of rebuilding now…old structures and beliefs have been burnt to the ground and even the ground itself has undergone radical transformation.

All of your beliefs have been challenged.  All of what you have built your life, your home upon and all that you believe you strived for to reach the ‘top’ of the

pinnacle, has been assaulted.

The challenge has come to your self-esteem, careers, government, rules and regulations….and now?  Saturn is coming home, there is a new sheriff in town.

The LAW is coming.

If you have lived in excess…he is coming to have you pay the piper.  This could be a difficult period, and in fact, it may well be a very difficult period for many as Saturn is not soft and cuddly, he is austerity, thrifty, cautious, calculated and calculating.  He is the master mason of the zodiac.

This Mercury retrograde has been a doozy too, see how he brought back old friends, had you review the past and what you put energy into?  Go over contracts and how you communicate?  Hermes is a trickster….but on December 21^st at 8:51 PM at 13* of Sagittarius he will be fully stationed in forward motion again.  Remember, Hermes stationed RX at the very end of Sagittarius at 29*, just hours away from the full moon in Gemini (Mercury rules Gemini) at 11*.

UNCOMFORTABLE….

Mercury the messenger ran ahead and took a peek at the mountain ahead and came back to inform Saturn/EL…now as the new moon approaches us on Dec 18^th at 1:30 AM EST when the sun and moon will dance together at 26* of Sag, they are riding the Galactic Center (27* Sagittarius) while Saturn/EL is hovering over his home base now at 29* and this is SERIOUS MATTERS.

All of them, conducting that major energy coming through the gateway of the Galactic Center.

Have you hit a wall?  Do you see the light at the end of the tunnel or do you feel as though you cannot see where you are going?

These planetary energies are asking us deep and dark secrets, both our own, on the world stage and how we really feel about them, while looking at matters very seriously.

Venus/Aphrodite is also swimming in the ocean of Sagittarius that is ablaze (Sag is Fire) at 21* Sag, as we are being collectively and individually alchemized through the fire.  Remember, the fire of the Holy Spirit, burns but does not consume.

Which fire do YOU FEEL?

Well, get ready to put those irons that have been forged to work. 

Make plans and intentions during this new moon, but remember, that Mercury is still Retrograde until Dec 21^st…it is THEN that you put actual plan and intention to work but remember also that he will still be in his shadow, digging up more uncomfortable truth for us all to deal with until he passes that 29* Sag marker on January 10, and he too is entering the domain of Capricorn….this will be a very serious (read, plan on working hard) winter and spring.

This is the energy to use to manifest, but you must work…diligently, disciplined and consistently on a solid foundation.

This is not the time for extravagance.

All kinds of new structures were being put into place and much of it was ‘unseen’, it will all start being rolled out, even as we return to these new plans to review and revise.

Saturn is also the ruler of TIME...and ofcourse, brings his sickle to cut you away and take you home to Pluto/Hades, Lord of Death.

We are also going into the darkest time of the year, the shortest day in the northern hemisphere…until we reach the solstice point on December 21^st at 10:54 AM, when the LIGHT BEGINS TO RETURN.

Another big date for this month, is December 25…oh, not for the obvious reason you might think.  On this day, at 12:49 PM, Venus and Saturn begin their new synodic cycle together at the very beginning of Capricorn.  Capricorn is a natural square to Libra, which Venus rules, and Venus/Aphrodite likes nice things…luxury, beauty…all the things a Saturn/Goat’s climb to the top of the mountain can bring, but they are at the ‘beginning’ of their cycle…so they are not at the top yet, and this may bring discomfort for comfort loving Libra.   It is however, also squares that we build with, so it can be a good time to begin that climb and BUILD.  This is a nice trine to Taurus, who might start to feel like the good things they love (also ruled by Venus) are on their way…be careful.
The light will soon return, hang in there, but take a look at the discomfort that the dark may bring up.  Remember, in the dark night of the soul, remember, BRIGHT FLOWS THE RIVER OF GD.

Venus/Aphrodite+ meets up with her lover Mars...

 Tonight at 8:03 PM EST, Venus and Mars will both be having their conjugal visit at 24* and 2' of Virgo the Virgin.  This is setting up a 2 year cycle for what we love, and how we put action and energy into obtaining what we love, or helping those we love obtain.  It is about the “Passion”…which as we know by now, is from the Greek, ‘Pathos’ which is to suffer, think also of the words, compassion or em-‘pathy’.  This is all about what we love, and what we value.  The last time this occurred, was on April 7, 2013 at 1:38AM when Venus and Mars were conjunct at 19* 59’ of Aries the Ram.

In Aries, it was about starting new things, jumping head-first into things.  In Virgo, it will be about paying attention to those we do love, paying attention to the details in the relationship.  It will be about formulating a sincere plan for health, which is easily assimilated into your routine and becomes ongoing.  Virgo wants us to eat healthy and she doesn’t like us over-eating either.

Where Aries (In the case of understanding this transit, not for Aries the sign necessarily) wants to move and also doesn’t always think about ‘the other’ because it is ‘I AM’…so that transit was more about YOU.  This, will be more about ‘SERVICE’, many of us will find new ways to serve with love.  ‘To Sir with Love’…

Of course, how this falls in your own chart personally, will be a more detailed version based on how this aspects your personal planets and points.

So, what are you passionate about?  In other words, what are you willing to suffer for?  We often hear people tell us to ‘do what we love’…well…I believe we short-change a lot of people who go to work every day for what they love, even if they don’t always LOVE THEIR JOB…what does that mean?  What about all the people depending on you?  Aren’t those the people you love?  So…you go to work to put food on the table for them, roof over their heads, maybe even purchase cars for them?  College? 

No matter where you are, YOU ARE DOING WHAT YOU LOVE, IF YOU ARE WORKING TO PAY FOR THINGS, TO SUPPORT THOSE PEOPLE WE LOVE.  That is your passion…So, when you go to work, try to think about how kind you are, doing something that may not always be so fun, but you go to take care of those you love, and to give them a life, that you are willing to ‘suffer’ for.  That is passion.

You can add to this in all the obvious ways, of passion…erotic and otherwise.

But, tonight…set your intention…light your candles…blue is nice for service and truth.  But any colour will do, don’t go panicking.  Take a minute to write down what you want to put energy and effort into for the next two year cycle…Are you in a relationship that perhaps takes a lot of ‘service’ from you or are you the one who is being served? 

They meet, under a 10* Scorpio sun, our kindly ambassador, who is busy peeling back the layers searching for the raw truth.  He is also known for his sexual passion, so we can tap into this energy as well…for those who want to spice things up…add a dash of Cinnamon, if you have Sensual Healing and Inner Glow, use those, anoint yourself (at the very least) and your loved one, and have them anoint you.

Consider what you love and how you want to energize, activate and impassion your world.  See yourself, and write the things you are heading toward and what ACTION you are going to take to obtain what you love, or love what you do.

Jupiter/Zeus is hanging out with those two also, so this will be a blessing on whatever we choose to pursue.  The head of the dragon is also leading this pack at 28* of Virgo, so  you are probably feeling little tugging at the very least, regarding your spiritual purpose and living from the heart.  This is a TRUE NODE, or the Eye of the needle we spoke of in the past blogs.

So, some of us have met our spiritual lovers as well, or have added a more spiritual dimension into our relationships, if not, now is the time to implement these

Awareness’ experiences, as the universe is looking for ways to pour love and rebirth into this planet right now.  Tap into this energy!!!

Grateful for all of you, to share something so wonderful, healing in so many ways to all of the people you help…Think of all the lovely natural healing products you have been able to share?  How wonderful!!!

Oh, quick story, one of our distributors was teaching an Aromatherapy class, using ArcAncient essential oils, creams and blends of course, and taught the first two days of a class, but could not teach the last day. 

Well, the last person brought some of ‘the other’ oils, that some gullible people think are so great (NOT), yeah, they all got sick and had to leave the room, because of the ‘other’ oils…next, the new moon in Scorpio.
