from the chair: 18th November 2017 New Moon in Scorpio

Hi everyone!

So here we are at the final stages of the Scorpio solar month and about to birth a new lunar month in Scorpio. What does that mean for us? The solar month brings physical manifestations of the energy of the sign and the lunar month takes us undercover to explore the undiscovered and unrecognised information that is relevant to our life. Unconscious knowledge is revealed in the lunar month and in the month of Scorpio, expect deep ‘secrets’ from within to be revealed.

New Moon in Scorpio: Uncovering the hidden depths!

And now, just a few days after the New Moon in Scorpio, we prepare to leap into the solar month of Sagittarius all the while being carried forward by our inner exploration of the psyche under the guiding light of the New Moon in Scorpio.

An easy ride if we let Mercury take us on a path of discovery! Magic!

It won’t be as challenging as we may expect when the Sagittarian extrovert party animal is kept within the cave of Scorpio discovery tour. This is because we have Mercury, one of our two shakers and movers, moving through Sagittarius in what seems to be a somewhat chaotic manner.

Mercury’s collecting data in the outer limits:

Mercury’s out of bounds journey is taking the Sagittarian explorer into dimensions unexplored. Sagittarius won’t be bored as he’s being kept on his toes just integrating so much new information! As long as Sagittarius feels he’s on the move, exploring and ‘adventuring’ he’ll be happy. If you start feeling resistance to the inner journey, talk yourself into recognising this period of opportunity.

Post 11:11 release and recovery:

Releasing old energies and raising the vibes:

Did you feel flattened? exhausted? hung out to dry?

Well it wasn’t just 11:11 was it? With the Sun squaring off to the nodes from 11th to 13th we went through some major shifts and will continue to go through them as we were called to access and release planetary and galactic energies through the Nodal connections.

The Lunar Nodes bring us into personal alignment with the planetary alignment!

Whenever the nodes are in aspect to planetary energies in our natal or planetary chart, we know we are being realigned for evolutionary growth and expansion.

North Node: Soul Star Chakra! This calls us to the clearance of soul energies!

The Scorpio Sun was squaring off to the planetary North Node of the Moon in Leo at 19 degrees. We’ve all been working with the Soul Star energy of the North Node.

South Node: Earth Star Chakra! This calls us to the clearance of planetary energies!

The South Node, the Earth Star Chakra memory bank for us personally as well as for earth, getting an influx of light energy as the South Node sits opposite the North Node. The South Node of the Moon is currently in Aquarius, ruling humanity and higher consciousness.

When the moon's nodes are experiencing transits whether planetary nodes or personal natal nodes, we're working with soul energy, planetary energy, galactic energy. You may be getting a personal 'hit' if your natal chart is being triggered but we need to remember that it's soul work, planetary work for us and for all.

Atlantis on the Super Galactic Centre:

Also worth realising is that this past week Asteroid Atlantis has been sitting on the Super Galactic Centre in the early degrees of Libra. It’s a galactic as well as planetary energy, another massive black hole similar to the Galactic Centre. Have we been releasing galactic energies related to Atlantis.

Is Atlantis a fantasy or a reality that exists in the quantum field. My view is that if it exists in our minds and hearts, then it is as real as any physical manifestation we recognise in our earthly existence. That doesn’t mean to say I know and I’m correct but merely that this is an understanding that I can accept until further information becomes available to me.

More galactic energy leading into the New Moon:

Mercury and Saturn plugging us into the galactic consciousness! Just keep breathing!

With Mercury, ruler of our mental body meeting the Great Attractor at 14 degrees Sagittarius from 15th to 17th November we can feel the huge release of so much energy held in our mind and mental body.

The Great Attractor is a massive energy which, like the Galactic Centre, draws everything into its energy. However, it also emits energies. It’s still something of a mystery to astronomers although we know it is larger than any of the other galactic or planetary energies currently known to us.

Any breathing challenges in this past week?

Mercury rules the respiratory system so the breath work is important not just for these days but for the duration of Mercury’s ongoing journey through Sagittarius until 11th January 2018. It felt like I was clearing huge heavy energies through the breath, at times feeling breathless as though I was wading through thick ‘mud’ energetically, Of course singing, toning is brilliant! As is the light work with all the bodies, mental, emotional, physical and astral/etheric.

Mercury now in shadow retrograde:

Until 3rd December when he moves into retrograde at 27 degrees Sagittarius, the Galactic Centre! Divine mind, divine truth!

Mercury moved into shadow retrograde on 13th November so he’ll be coming back to this degree when he turns retrograde on 3rd December. Meanwhile, he’s ploughing on through Sagittarius, travelling out of bounds and gathering new consciousness. Be open and receptive because our ideas are likely to change a hundred times over between now and the end of the year. It will be difficult to pin things down in terms of thinking or commercial ventures.

Saturn on the Galactic Centre:

Close connection through November into December

Saturn has just moved onto 26 degrees, the Galactic Centre, centre of our Milky Way Galaxy, a massive black hole which sucks everything into its gravitational pull. If ever there was a time to embrace the release of old karmic burdens, spiritual wounds while welcoming an upgrade spiritually, this is it! Working with the New Moon in Scorpio, the purge and transmutation is on as we head towards the final weeks of the calendar year of 2017.

Big karmic release of galactic energies through this past year:

Cutting the ties, divine truth!

Is it any wonder we’ve been feeling an extra ‘hit’ with Saturn’s journey through Sagittarius these past 2 years, particularly this year with this planet symbolising karma, travelling across 2 galactic energies.

A New Moon, new start, fresh page: New energy, new life!

What seeds are you sowing at this New Moon?

The New Moon when the Sun and Moon are aligned on the same degree, on the same page so to speak. The active principle and the passive principle of the Sun and Moon respectively are speaking the same language in the initiation of new beginnings for the lunar month.

Call the gravediggers: Time to ‘bury our dead’! Time to be reborn!

This beginning is Scorpio which speaks of deep change, healing through transformational and transmutational processes. Of course we’re doing this all the time but this is the month when we can really bury some old energies once and for all.

Call the gravediggers!

Are you ready to do a ‘boots and all’ release and redeem the self:

Ascension, redemption and deep change and transfiguration is on offer. Are we hearing what this means? Ascension, ‘judgement day’, if you will, is an ongoing process which involves the gathering of lost aspects of the self and the release of aspects which we’ve picked up along life’s journey which are not aligned with our divinity, the truth of who we are this lifetime.

Scorpio offers new life if we’re prepared to let go of old energies:

As we unveil the truth of who we are in the coming month, we recognise that our old embedded ways of being need to make way for new ways of living and being, ways that bring new life, vision and direction.

Intimacy and sexuality, money from sources outside income: Time to set the intentions!

True desires emerge in these energies!

Scorpio rules intimate relationships and sexuality as well as money from partnership or other sources. This next month we’ll be discovering those deep desires within our subconscious which are seeking expression in the world. Listen to the inner voice and be aware of how the universe can manifest these deep desires.

‘Come on baby light my fire’:

With big bountiful, optimistic Jupiter in Scorpio, our alchemical manifesting power is available. Venus in Scorpio, still travelling close to Jupiter is assisting with the deep desires and intimate connections.

Could be a cracker of a connection: Channelling buried anger into passionate connections!

Mars in square/challenge to Pluto 16 degrees Libra/17 degrees Capricorn

It’s not an entirely peaceful New Moon but then we’re talking Scorpio here so everything that’s happening is for our own good, our transformation. Mars, our fiery masculine energy is squaring off to Pluto, Lord of the Underworld. Mars is currently travelling through Libra, seeking karmic justice and balance. Our warrior self has been a bit out of sorts in Libra, feeling somewhat contained and confined by Libra’s brief for peace, harmony, balance and love.

Physical rebalancing of our bodies and the fire and drive held within our bodies:

Explosive? passionate? Joyful?

Mars is ruler of our physical body as well as fire and drive so there’s plenty happening within our physical vessels and existence with respect to his rebalancing and coming to wholeness through the karmic justice of Libra. Diplomacy is not one of Mars strong points as he can be egocentric and opinionated.

Mars and Pluto ‘co-rulers’ of Scorpio!

Be aware of rising anger and getting into battle mode!

Now at this New Moon he comes into a challenge, possibly a stoush with Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto is Scorpio’s planetary ruler although Mars still has a foot in the door as once upon a time he was the ruler of Scorpio prior to Pluto’s discovery. This could be explosive, possibly an underground ‘explosion’ which erupts out of the deep emotional waters of Scorpio. Just wondering if that will manifest on the earth in some physical form.

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down:

Divine messages if we’re listening! Mercury ‘out of bounds’!

Mercury trine North Node of the Moon 17 degrees Sagittarius/18 degrees Leo

Notwithstanding the potential for explosive releases thanks to Mars/Pluto, there are other planetary energies which are speaking in harmony. The planetary North of the Moon speaking with Mercury in a flowing conversation tells all if we’re ready and willing to listen.

Mental alignment with the planetary direction:

Mercury is flying ‘out of bounds’ gathering new data, new consciousness in a whole new territory and as our messenger and ruler of communication is already bringing us divine new consciousness. Now at the New Moon he’s speaking with the North Node, our planetary direction at this time.

Feel the spark igniting the divine mind:

These energies are both in fire signs with the potential to capture our spark of creativity, our divine child energy bringing enthusiasm and joy with an alignment with the planetary energies. When we align our personal energies with the planetary direction, we’re in the hotseat for growth, expansion and success in the world.

Healing powers at this new Moon: New Moon in Scorpio in flowing trine to Chiron in Pisces

With Saturn just 30 degrees away from the New Moon in a minor aspect is giving us the message about karmic release as he sits on the Galactic Centre.

Master surgeon Scorpio carries the light energy of the scalpel, the light sword:

Let the Scorpio power do the work of this release!

We are given the open door to a new start of powerful healing energy as the New Moon connects to Chiron in Pisces. The wounds of the collective unconscious are getting surgical support from the astrological master surgeon, Scorpio. If we let the spiritual/emotional wounds go with ease we can be reborn into new energies.

Just need to remember that the New Moon energies flow throughout the lunar month until the next New Moon in Sagittarius.

Coming out of left field: Uranus in Aries is in a ‘quirky’ connection with the New Moon in Scorpio

25 degrees Aries/26 degrees Scorpio

Uranus in Aries wants to break out of the chains of oppression as this radical unexpected surprise energy calls us to jump fast, to respond quickly and possibly impulsively. Going where angels fear to tread? Possibly. This one’s been with us for quite a long time so we’re kind of familiar with its ‘awakening’ quality. It’s just managing this one at a time when the Scorpio New Moon is calling for exploration of the deep waters of emotion and desire.

Stay in bed or bungy jump?

The New Moon carries an entirely different energy which is not compatible with Uranus in Aries. The New Moon wants us to go deep, intense and get in touch with the emotions of intimacy and desire. These two energies are like an incompatible ‘couple’ who want their own way. They’re not in direct oppositional conflict but the energy may throw you if you find yourself feeling ‘do I want to go deep’ or ‘do I want to jump off the cliff in a bungy jump’.

Sabian Symbol for the New Moon in Scorpio: From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com

Scorpio 27

A MILITARY BAND MARCHES NOISILY ON THROUGH THE CITY STREETS

This Symbol shows the need for occasionally making a show for society to remind ourselves of our successes and achievements, whether they are collective or personal achievements. The “Military Band” can make an enormous amount of noise as it “Marches Noisily”, but sometimes we need to be woken or reminded of the cohesion that a military band can show. Likewise, this can show someone that likes to bang their own drum or to make a big noise about themselves or for the establishment. As long as the audience is ok with this display, one can contain the reaction from others. Sometimes, though, people get annoyed by people banging their drums a little too loudly. Noisy announcements. Making music to rouse people from complacency. Demanding attention. Trumpeting one's agenda. Marching in time. The blast of the media. Drums.

Hugs all around!

We’re travelling through challenging energies which may have felt like the last drop of life force is being sucked out of us in the belief, hope and faith that our individual journey to enlightenment is bringing greater light to the all. Can we see any manifestation of change in our physical world? This is what we look to as our barometer of progress. However, so much is still happening within the unseen energetic world and we can only see glimpses of change in the physical. We need to maintain faith.

We’re travelling on faith, faith in the power of energy, the knowledge of consciousness and our recognition of the quantum field of ‘we are one’.

We’re working undercover in the knowledge that our fellow brothers and sisters are with us, whether in spirit or energetically still living physically on this planet. We are never separate, never apart as we continually reunite energetically with our soul family, star family, light family, ancestral earth family.

Love and blessings to all my mystic travelling companions. This last month or so is going to be BIG!
