Learning to walk with a limp: New Moon in Scorpio 2017

Image
This is a New Moon. Yes. But, it is so full. What I feel around me most, energetically in the general atmosphere right now, is grief. An energy that Scorpio knows well. At times, folks with heavy Pluto or Neptune aspects, actually kinda crave it. The heaviness and hollow ache of grief feels...familiar. Like home. I don't think anyone has immunity from ever experiencing pain, heartbreak, loss...things that cause deep life altering pain that never completely goes away. The kind of pain you have to learn to live with. It isn't going anywhere. And, obviously the Sun is just going to keep coming up. Dammit. So, one foot in front of the other. One little step at a time. You learn to move forward with that pain. You don't walk away from it. You carry it. Not like a cross on your back. But, more like a physical ailment or a permanent sore spot that can't be seen with the naked eye. Only felt by you. Forever. Eventually, we get better at walking with that limp. We become wiser t...

Morning Star: Astrology for the weekend of September 23 and 24, 2017

Saturday, September 23, 2017 For the most part, today is fairly easy going. These waters run deep. But, not loudly. While externally, many a visage will appear calm. Most are hyper aware of their surroundings, contemplating vast personal psychological crevices. Willing or not. The interplay between Scorpio and Virgo is sharp. Analytical. Practical. Not a single detail makes it past these two without inspection and dissection. The penetrative and focused energy of Moon in Scorpio has been given the precision and discernment of a personal planet stellium in Virgo. What better way to spend the first full day of Sun in Libra than with balance practice using the energies of the signs on either side of her. The energy coming from both, Scorpio and Virgo, also fall under the empowering and transformative presence of Pluto in Capricorn. The pitfall of the day is found in the waters of Neptune. Those unconscious, latent or eschewed from us things. As every energy I have just mentioned, is al...

Saturday, June 24, 2017 The New Moon has occurred. Now, we take our first few fledgling steps under this new cycle which has quite a few hairpin turns and rocky territories. We are in the final Moon phase prior to the ecliptic. There will likely be shake-ups on our way there. Today, though, things remain fairly low key. We still have the richness of Venus trine Pluto which perfected overnight. Put to use, deliberately, the high powers of attraction and manifestation under this trine. My advice for Venus/Pluto natives is usually the same. Amongst that advice there are two points that are important to remember. 1) Be careful where you point that stuff and 2) you have tremendous power of heart..be wary of those who only have interest in suckling from that teat. Venus/Pluto, as I said, has very strong powers of attraction. To deliberately use it you want to make sure you are focusing on drawing in things you want instead of drawing in what you are worrying about. Either will be attracted t...

Monday, June 5, 2017 Early this morning, the Moon slithered into Scorpio and met with a trine to Mars in Cancer. The combination of bodies in Scorpio in trine to bodies in Cancer is quite sexy. What I've observed from these two signs in trine is that they are quite attracted to one another. Often, the crab and the scorpion are easy friends or bedfellows. There is a depth to both of them. A knowing and understanding. And, once commitment and trust is birthed between them, lifelong relationships are formed by way of a bond that stands in defense and protection of one another. It's an interesting thing to me. Cancer nurtures and provides “food” while Scorpio feeds. In turn, high-functioning Scorpio reciprocates and both will defend their trusted to the end. Plus, the attraction level between the two is quite strong and seductive. From one perspective, it is likened to a group of sharks in a feeding frenzy. From another, it is the vampire and his maiden who feed off one another com...

Morning Star: Astrology for the weekend of April 29 to April 30, 2017

Saturday, April 29, 2017 We are getting zero breaks from the Mercury/Uranus interplay in Aries this weekend. Yesterday, Mercury met the God of Lightning by conjunction for a second time. As the two hold in tight orb (as Mercury is moving RIDICULOUSLY slow) the Moon in Gemini will pass by them by sextile just after midday (1:29-2:14 PM EDT). This is good because it is by sextile. However, it can be quite emotionally affective because we are under a Gemini ruled Moon. Many may feel there is too much information coming in too quickly and its hard to keep up. Some may feel frazzled. Others manic or over-stimulated. However, others still could be flourishing in this. I feel this is the most unsettling to folks who have heavy water in their chart. Your mileage may vary on that. But, electric energy such as this has a tendency to scatter in Water whereas Fire can put it to use and Earth can ground it out. With heavy Air, the mental activity uptick is probably a welcomed thing. But, for our mo...
