			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Moon in VIRGO ~ Courtesy of Skybear Astrology<br />
By Larry Williamson<br />
New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting new seeds and setting intentions. The New Moon in Virgo will focus on issues related with health, healing, service and preparation. This New Moon makes a close conjunction to Saturn in Virgo. It’s never too late to pay homage to the virgin goddesses.</p>
<p>The woman who is virgin, one-in-herself, does what she does, not because of any desire to please, to be liked or approved, to catch his interest or love, but because what she does is true. She is what she is, because that is what she is. Virginity is a process of being true to oneself, and if one has not been true than virginity is renewable. It’s never too late to become a virgin!</p>
<p>Woman can renew their virginity, intactness and integrity through the rites of Aphrodite, where she would annually renew her virginity by bathing, cleansing and purifying herself by the sea. The value placed upon virginity is a man’s idea, and that’s how men and the patriarchy controlled woman. As if virginity was a wonderful thing in the first place.</p>
<p>The degree for the New Moon from Zodiacal Symbology reads: An antique temple of the muses built on a rock, over which flows an enchanting fall of clear sparking water. Denotes one who would seek the ideal in all things, even amidst war and destruction. One of a strange, happy, though wise philosophy of thought. It is a symbol of cultivation.</p>
<p>This is the best New Moon to take greater responsibility for our health physically, emotionally and spiritually. Its time to get serious about dietary changes, exercise routines and addressing medical issues we’ve been either denying, or putting off. Saturn is about commitment and Virgo represents the body. This is the right time to deal with our “inner critic” and attachment to perfectionism. There’s an indigenous saying that goes, is the good, true and beautiful in my nature as strong as the whispers of my demons and monsters?  We must answer yes to that on a daily basis.</p>
<p>This New Moon will energize the third of five oppositions on September 15th between Saturn and Uranus. These cycles often coincide to political, social and economic changes. The last opposition cycle was in the mid-1960s when the Civil rights movement, Vietnam War, Anti-War protests and the emergence of the Hippie revolution took center stage. Those with late degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) will feel it most intensely. Mercury, the ruler of Virgo squares Pluto on the 17th, suggesting that knowledge is power! Small issues can take on great importance. Your mind can probe beneath the surface. Secrets will be revealed.</p>
<p>The polarization between Saturn and Uranus becomes most visible during the town hall meetings on health care reform. We have those who are resistant (Saturn) to change, versus those who demand health care reform (Uranus). President Obama’s speech on September 9th will in many ways define his presidency. If he does not come out in favor for a strong public option he will lose the support of the progressives and unions who vow not to vote in the 2010 elections. This would be a huge victory for the right wing and the insurance industry. This seems to be a likely scenario in which case Obama will become one and done as president of the United States.</p>
<p>On September 19th, Mars conjuncts the lunar eclipse degree at 15 degrees of Cancer. Mars is only one degree plus off the Sun in Cancer, and square Saturn in Libra in the Sibily chart (USA). Heated debates, disruptions, fights and clashes with authority will continue at local town hall meetings over health care reform. The potential for domestic terrorism is a real threat. The president needs to be even more diligent over personal security issues; especially in light of gun advocates (Mars) carrying loaded firearms to town hall meetings. To be forewarned is forearmed!</p>
<p>The Sun, Moon Saturn in Virgo along with Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune in Aquarius the call for service resonates with us all. Be it service to our community, group, tribe, or extended social family. This is the medicine required to help restore our inter-connectedness with our universal and global family. In the words of Indian playwright and poet Rabindranath Tagore “ I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy”.<br />
“ Forget your perfect offering<br />
There’s a crack in everything,<br />
That’s how the light gets in”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting seeds and setting intentions. Leo has rulership over the heart, spine and blood. This New Moon awakens our spirit and courage to listen to our hearts. The word ‘courage’ comes from the Latin word for the heart, Cor, which literally means ‘to take heart’. In the words of mythologist Joseph Campbell “Follow your Bliss” or heart. Leo is associated with creativity, self-expression, love and romance. Like all fire signs Leo enjoys having lots of fun, laughter and a good time.</p>
<p>Since Leo is ruled by the Sun they need to shine, to show off and most of all they need to feel special. This is one of the best New Moons to look for love and romance. However, it’s important that you set intentions to which you love and how you want to be loved? We need to bless those who challenge us to love more fully, for they are great teachers who show us when we are open hearted or close hearted. The Sufi’s tell us the greatest remorse we can ever experience is love unexpressed. When you keep your heart locked, closed, over protected, you can never free yourself from the cocoon and enjoy the freedom of the butterfly.</p>
<p>My favorite Solar myths for the Leo archetype are the Arthurian Grail legends, which are essentially stories of wounding and healing. The story of Parsifal and the wounded king who is wounded in the groin (this is before viagra) and the kingdom becomes barren and nothing is allowed to grow. It’s not until Parsifal (inner fool) goes on a quest to discover a magical vessel of healing and plenty- the Grail. The king is not a king, who has been injured and recovering, he is the ‘wounded king”. This is an identity of loss and disempowerment.</p>
<p>The healing finally takes place through the asking of a question, which sets into motion not only the healing of the king, but also the land. The quest for the grail is really about a quest for healing, renewal and recovery. In the words of the coyote trickster astrologer Caroline Casey, at the heart of all great cultures is the heroic task to restore the healing waters of life. Remember, that a myth is something that never happened, but is always happening!</p>
<p>This New Moon illuminates the opposition to the triple conjunction between Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius. We are called on to open our hearts to serve others rather than just ourselves through cooperative, community and collective participation. To exercise our personal will (Leo) for the good of others and the world (Aquarius). This New Moon is the fourth of five ‘Crisis Moons’ this year, when the Moon is at its (perigee) closest to the earth. The degree for this New Moon from Zodiacal Symbology reads: A stream of oil falling from mid-air upon the troubled waters beneath. Denotes one with a peculiar magnetic aura enables him to bring quarreling units to a peaceful union. It is a symbol of Conciliation.</p>
<p>The Sun makes its ingress into Virgo on the 22nd, which affords us the new opportunity to open our celestial toolbox and put our creativity, inspiration and heart into our work. The Sufi Mystic Rumi says it best “Let what you love be what you do”. Mars squares Mercury in Cancer/Libra respectively on the 25th denote your mind and mouth are moving to fast to consider the wounding of what to say to others. Killing me softly with your words! Think twice before speaking. Mercury goes retrograde in Libra on the 6th. Time to review, reflect and reassess your relationship commitments. New information will be revealed as Mercury moves forward on the 29th.</p>
<p>Pluto packs his punch on September 11th (yikes) as he makes his station at 0 degree (critical degree) of Capricorn. Pluto stations are extremely powerful as the first World Trade Center bombing and the Oklahoma City bombing both occurred during a Pluto station. On a personal level Pluto can lend power to whatever it touches, or it can devour or disempower. Pluto tears things down to build them back up stronger than before. Pluto in Capricorn (Corporations, Big Business) we are witnessing the death (Pluto) of corporate capitalism as we have know it in the past. We cannot avoid using power, so let us learn to love more powerfully!</p>
<p>On September 15th Saturn and Uranus make their third out of five exact oppositions between these heavy hitters. Here we have the old clashes with the new, tradition versus change, conservative versus progressive. We can see the intense polarization every day on the evening news especially around issue of health care reform. Major insurance companies and big Pharma have funded right wing extremist (Tea Bagers, Birthers) to disrupt sincere discussion about health care reform at town hall meetings. These tactics mirrors the Nazi’s brown shirts that disrupted town hall meetings at beer gardens in Germany back in the 1930’s.</p>
<p>The encouraging news that was announced today is the AFL-CIO union groups has promised to directly to engage with boisterous conservative protesters at Democratic town hall meetings during the August recess. The vote is expected on September 15th, which is of course the day of the exact opposition between Saturn (conservative) and Uranus (progressive). A big time donnybrook smack down between conservative groups and unions should make for an August full of fireworks.</p>

<p><font face="Calibri">The Solar Eclipse tonight in Cancer follows a new series of Eclipses in the the signs of CANCER &#038; CAPRICORN and will also affect ARIES &#038; LIBRA (The Cardinal Signs).  Remember, if your Moon or Ascendant/Rising Sign is one of the above, you will experience these vibrations too! Eclipse energy is felt for a approximately 2 years.  The power of this series started back in April.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Eclipses can bring many things but most of all they necessitate change!  Usually that change occurs around the residence (moving), relationships, and bringing hidden things into the light.  If you&#8217;re one of the above 4 signs, you&#8217;re beginning anew in one or all of these areas.  The more willing you are to make alterations where necessary, the less adversity you&#8217;ll experience, and the more success you will have with your new endeavors!!</font></p>
<p>For a more detailed look at Eclipses, re-read my previous article on the Full Moon Eclipse in Capricorn.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to think big and utilize this energy to your advantage!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Larry Williamson ~ Skybear Astrology</p>
<p>New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting new seeds and of setting intentions. We are all familiar with the sign Cancer associated with the crab. However, my premise is that many of the attributes and meaning of the signs come from smaller star groups that surround the major constellations of the zodiac. Therefore, the meaning for the sign Cancer actually derives from the bear. Directly below the constellation of the crab is the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear.</p>
<p>The qualities and principles associated with Cancer such as nurturing, mothering and care taking comes from characteristics of the bear rather than the crab? Consider how the bear is about protection, nesting, maternal and loves food. Once again, the point I want to drive home is to understand that the meaning of the signs in the zodiac are influenced by other star groups and constellations near the region of the major constellations of the zodiac.</p>
<p>This New Moon is the second “Crisis Moon” of 2009 and the most powerful occurring so close to the Summer Solstice. The Crisis Moon is when the Moon is near its perigee (closest to earth) emotional and domestic issues become more intensified especially with the Moon in it’s own sign, Cancer. It’s not uncommon for those with the sign Cancer, the Moon, or 4th house strongly activated in their charts to be susceptible to Lunar Burnout! This is a form of a breakdown that happens when you’re called on to nurture others too much, for too long and you’re not doing enough to nurture and care for yourself. People who suppress or refuse to honor their own essential core needs, and subordinate their needs for the needs of others, are those who wind up emotionally burned out (Moon).  Cancer’s never know when to cut the cord and stop trying to nurture the world.</p>
<p>Cancer is a sign related to emotional memory. Cancer’s often think about the hurt or wounds of the past, rather than focusing on the joy of recovery. Holding on and clinging to the past is Cancer’s way of staying stuck in the womb, of self-preservation. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon reads: A MAN ON A MAGIC CARPET HOVERING OVER A LARGE AREA OF LAND. Keynote: The ability to expand one’s consciousness by stabilizing one’s point of view at a higher level.<br />
This is one of the best New Moon’s to work on home improvements or repairs. We can simply enhance our home life by spending quality time with family members and those we love. This is a favorable time to let go of old defensive mechanisms that could be detrimental to your emotional well-being and relationships with others. Learn to let go of old attachments and codependency that no longer serve you. Cancer is the sign of the home and family and unless you have a home that heals your spirit you will never heal!</p>
<p>This is one of the most challenging and intense New Moons of the year as it make a direct opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. Expect major changes and transformations in the area’s of the home, family, work, business and in the manufacturing and housing industry.</p>
<p>New beginnings and ending are the watchwords as old chapters in our lives come to a close, as that which supported us in the past is no longer viable. One of the most important lessons for Cancer’s is learning to let go of old attachments from the past. Pluto is a great attachment breaker and acts as a servant of wholeness.<br />
The triple conjunction between Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune continue, and are still in opposition to the asteroid Hygeia (goddess of medicine) in Sibily (USA) chart. Major health care reform is one of the most vital and contentious issues of the day. Jupiter turned retrograde on the 15th and will remain there until October 13th. Jupiter retrograde cycles are not the most conducive times to initiate big plans or objectives. On a personal level Jupiter retrograde will reveal inner truths and wisdom. Honor the inner teacher!<br />
Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune are still activating the Moon in Aquarius (masses) in the Sibily chart as we all prepare for a sea of change. The longing for a new American dream, a new vision is afoot! Venus and Mars reunite the week on the 15th after a two-month separation, both in the sign Taurus. Relationships of all kinds are energized and revitalized. This is an excellent time to cultivate our inner garden through sensuality, sexuality and pleasure. Saturn conjuncts Ceres in Virgo ~ take care of business and review quality control. Good time for business and pleasure.</p>
<p>This New Moon also activates Venus (money) in the Sibily chart and both are in direct opposition to transiting Pluto in Capricorn. The current financial crisis is still under going life support. This opposition between Venus and Pluto I feel serves as a powerful metaphor of the horrendous murder of Dr.George Tiller who was a late term abortion provider. Venus in Cancer the sign of the womb meets Pluto the annihilator in control, authoritative Capricorn. Scott Roeder the person accused of murdering Dr. Tiller has the Sun/Mercury conjunction in Pisces (martyr) both in opposition to his natal Pluto. On the day of the murder the triple conjunction in Aquarius between Jupiter. Chiron and Neptune (the wound of religious fanaticism) were squaring his natal Moon in Taurus. One of the comments Mr.Roeder made during his preliminary hearing to the judge why is everyone treating me like a murderer? Mr. Roeder: de-nial is not just a river in Egypt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Moon in Gemini ~ May 24, 2009</p>
<p>New Moons are times of planting new seeds, new beginnings, and setting intentions. The Moon is what nurtures and feeds us. The New Moon in Gemini nourishes us through mental curiosity, reading, writing, learning new information, and making connections. Mercury/Hermes ruler of Gemini is the messenger of the gods, and was the only god to travel between two worlds. He was also the protector of travelers and athletes. Gemini’s often feel like they travel between two worlds.</p>
<p>Mercury retrograde in Taurus helps to calm the mind from incessant chatter and frivolous gossip. Mercury moves forward (direct) on the 30th and re-enters Gemini on June 14th. Mercury/Hermes always carries a healing rod, the caduceus that reminds us of the healing and wounding powers of our words. Chose what you wish to communicate consciously and don’t become mired in toxic verbal sparring or abuse towards others.</p>
<p>The triple conjunction between Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius reflect the lines of communication are open to new truths, dreams and generous healing spirit. The last triple conjunction between these bodies was back in 1945 in Libra. Social change, reform, equal rights, and justice for all echo today the Aquarian ideal of cooperation, altruistic and humanitarian values. The expansive influence of Jupiter with Chiron can become a powerful aide to the healing process, while Neptune yearns for the ideal social setting by participating in groups, community and collective cooperation.</p>
<p>The Sabian symbol for the triple conjunction at 26 degrees 26 minutes of Aquarius reads: AN ANCIENT POTTERY BOWL FILLED WITH FRESH VIOLETS. The importance of traditional skills and artistic values deeply rooted in instinctive feelings. Violets have often been a symbol of modesty and humility. What I find interesting is this conjunction is conjunct Neptune’s discovery degree at 26 degrees of Aquarius! Neptune was first discovered on September 23, 1846 as America was undergoing radical social changes. The Mormons arrived in Salt Lake City, waves of Irish immigrants came to this country, the poets Thoreau, Emerson and Whitman came into prominence, and the Mexican War broke out. Come one full Neptune return cycle later and we have trouble with immigration and the Mexican border. Transiting Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune all conjunct the Moon in the Sibily chart (USA) and will have a dramatic effect on the American psyche and collective mood of the country. In the words of Richard Bach from his book “Illusions” Rarely do members of one’s true family share the same roof! Indeed, sometimes our ‘true family’ is our friends, group, tribal or collective family.</p>
<p>Saturn goes direct in motion on May 16th. We can now move forward with our projects and plans that have been on the back burner. Good time to build bridges so that inner plans find ways for outer expression. If you had been feeling stuck in a rut since February you can gain new traction now and plow ahead with authority.</p>
<p>Health care reform is still a contentious issue with many Americans. Real health care reform of a single payer is completely off the table. Not only that but single payer advocates were never invited to the table with the big Pharmacy and insurance companies.</p>
<p>Just this week the A.H.A. American Hospitals Association made a call to all their CEO’s and informed them they never agreed with the new Obama policy to reduce their costs 1.5 percent each year for the next ten years. The triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune are in opposition to the asteroid Hygeia (Goddess of health) in the Sibily chart.</p>
<p>A glimmer of hope could be the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Pisces Late 2010 for real expansive health care reform. Historically, Jupiter/Uranus cycles do coincide with liberal and progressive empowerment.</p>
<p>Chiron turns retrograde at the end of this month. Chiron with Jupiter can reveal painful truths. Often old wounds from the past may resurface at this time in order to heal, repair, fix and cleanse the lingering wound of the soul. Chiron in Aquarius offers healing on collective levels through addressing social injustice, poverty and hunger.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Moon in Taurus, April 24, 2009</p>
<p>New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting new seeds and setting of intentions. This New Moon represents our connection with Mother Earth. This Month with the Sun, Moon, Mercury all in Taurus along with Saturn in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn (earth signs) sets off the emergency alarm for “green consciousness”. Since Taurus is one of the oldest signs in the Zodiac it has a long affinity with the Earth, agriculture, land, nature and the environment.</p>
<p>The animal totem for Taurus is the Bull as the bull use to plow the fields to cultivate the land for the crops to grow. The glyph for Taurus symbolizes the head of the bull, the crescent moon on top of the circle (spirit). However, from a much older tradition the glyph for Taurus represents the fallopian tubes and the womb. This reaffirms Taurus as a sign associated with fertility and abundance.</p>
<p>This New Moon asks us to reflect on what gives us pleasure and what makes us feel rich or content. Anything that enchants and indulges the senses is a source of pleasure to Taurus. In fact, Taureans are never happier than when putting physical form into beauty. With Venus (creativity) as ruler of Taurus we find many in the creative arts such as pottery, sculpture, interior design or music. Many of these people find a deep sense of relaxation in just “doing”. Taurus rules not only our relationship with nature, but also with the physical body. Taurus is the most physical of all the signs and craves the need to touch, hold, hug and feel, including finding pleasure with your own body.</p>
<p>Taurus is a sign related to money and material resources. The reason why Taurus is associated with money and wealth is in ancient times the more cattle (bulls) you owned was a measure of your wealth. This is one of the best New Moons to focus on personal finances and material resources. Set financial goals that are practical and down to earth. Commit yourself to a budget and long term financial planning. Saturn in Virgo can help to repair our financial spending habits with discipline and responsibility. You may surprise yourself what can be generated by “Strategic plans” and become more conscious about frivolous spending.</p>
<p>Pluto made its station on April 4, 2009 and we have witnessed a dramatic increase in violent acts and mass murders. Pluto stations exude tremendous power and eruption. The first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and the Oklahoma City bombing took place during a Pluto station. The horrific news from Binghamton New York where a crazed gunman senselessly killed 13 people. In Pittsburgh a young budding white supremacist shoots and kills 3 policemen because he feared Obama was going to take his guns away. Pluto does rule paranoia! The following day in Tacoma, Washington a man kills his five children then himself because his wife was going to leave him for another man. Eruptions from the underworld indeed!</p>
<p>In other news North Korea broke the rules once more testing a rocket that could be used as a long-range missile. Italy was hit by a 6.3 powerful earthquake with over 200 dead, 1500 injured and tens of thousands homeless. Pluto will remain retrograde until it makes its station are you ready for this on 9/11 2009! Please watch and listen to the news like a hawk during this potentially volatile period. </p>
<p>In the natal chart Pluto has to do with issues of power, control or powerlessness. We may feel we are losing control or there may be power struggles with others. The challenge is learn how to let go! We can’t control circumstances but we can control the choices we make. There are no rights or wrongs, only decisions and consequences.</p>
<p>Pluto is about empowerment. The best definition of empowerment that I’ve heard is Empowerment is recognizing what you need to do for yourself and doing it when others say you are being selfish. Your first priority is to “Take care of yourself”! When a situation is bad, your first responsibility is to get yourself out, to remove yourself from any toxic, negative situation whether this is a job, a relationship or an environment. You empower yourself by protecting yourself!</p>
<p>On April 13,Reuter’s news reported the rise of right-wing extremist in the United States. The increased polarization of the Saturn/Uranus opposition with the rebellious attitude of Uranus, against the established order of the Saturian(government) status quo. They’re gaining new recruits by exploiting fears about the economy, gun control and the election of the first black president. We just had the second hit of the cycle in February and headed into the third hit in September.</p>
<p>Chiron (wounded healer) conjuncts Neptune in Aquarius suggest healing emerges by restoring the lost sense of the sacred in our lives, by a call to sacrifice. To serve or suffer! Chiron/Neptune invites healing through imagination and dream incubations where intuition and faith act as guides on the sea of sightless navigation. Learn to trust your internal guidance system. Chiron/Neptune aspect can imply themes centered on the invisible wound. I prefer the clarity of the physical wound to the invisible blows and wounds of the spirit. Failure of the body is more acceptable than failure of the soul.</p>
<p>With transiting Saturn (shortages) in Virgo and the asteroid Ceres (goddess of grains) made its station in Virgo of the 15th of April, I read with horror from the Huffington Post that over 1500 farmers in India committees suicide after being driven into debt. The crop failures (Saturn/Ceres Virgo) were prompted by falling water levels. Nearby forest depletion and poorly planned government dam projects contributed to the falling water levels. Suicides by Indian farmers have been an on going reality for years. Combined with the vicious money-lending schemes that are prevalent in the region, many farmers felt that death was the only option in the face of insurmountable debt.I also read that this latest tragedy bears an uncomfortable resemblance to the problem in Australia’s agriculture sector, where many farmers are committing suicide in response to the severe drought, heat waves and wildfires that have been ravaging the country for years. It is estimated that one Australian farmer commits suicide every four days. The severe weather changes are a direct result of global warming. ???? (KF)</p>
<p>The raging Australian fires completely destroyed many homes and farms. People lost their loved ones, and their livelihoods and their beloved animals. Also lost to the fires is the enchanted forest and magical gardens of Bruno Tofts taking over 300 sculptures and painting. It’s devastating to think the beauty is lost forever. As the Shaman Martin Precthel says let’s learn to turn our grief into beauty.</p>
<p>These stories are a reminder that our personal wellness is inextricably linked to global wellness. We need to nurture Mother earth, and address the hierarchy of pollution, global warming, human rights, economies and wealth. With Earth Day approaching on April 22, 2009 (just prior to New Moon) let us set intentions, followed up by action, as Mars moves into Aries the same day, and how we can make the planet and the lives of our fellow human family healthier, wiser, prosperous and peaceful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by Kerry Fezza 2009</p>
<p>New Moons (every 4 weeks) usher in new beginnings.  Between the New &#038; Full Moon is an excellent time to start things you want to manifest over the long run.  This is an especially powerful New Moon as it is tied into a Solar Eclipse!  It also has the added benefit of eclipsing Jupiter  ~ planet of luck, abundance, enthusiasm, good will, philanthropy, spirituality, and optimism.  This Eclipse is taking place in the ign of Aquarius which rules groups, friendships, humanity, hopes, goals, and wishes.  It’s associated with the collective spirit and favors unconventionality, new age thinking, enlightenment, and sometimes the unusual or even the bizarre.   Aquarius would rule Government and UFO’s, so combine that with expansive Jupiter and it will be interesting to see what happens!!!</p>
<p>Eclipses energize &#038; influence a group of Signs.  This Eclipse is affecting the “fixed” signs - Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio – just like the Eclipses in August last summer.   If you have your Moon and/or Ascendant in any of these signs, you&#8217;ll feel the energy too.  Look at what part of your chart these signs rule and expect activity in these areas.</p>
<p>Eclipses necessitate change, usually around the residence (moving) and relationships, and are known for bringing hidden things into the light.  Unfortunately the fixed signs are the most resistant to change.  That’s often why they get termed as stubborn.  If you’re comfortable in your home, secure in your job, and are happy with the ‘status quo’ , I suggest you change something whether it’s your hair color, your drapes, or rearranging the furniture.   If you are not adaptable the Universe will come in and create the change for you!  This may feel like adversity.  It&#8217;s better to remain as versatile as possible or you could even experience health setbacks.  Jupiter in the configuration gives you a very positive outlook.  (Doreen Virtue writes a good article about change in the January issue of L.V.’s IN LIGHT TIMES MAGAZINE – free).</p>
<p>Some good examples of Eclipse energy from the previous cycle in August:                                                                                        <br />
- It’s revealed that John Edwards (the politician, not the Psychic) has a love child with someone who he ‘knocked up’ while his wife was battling cancer!                                                                                                                                                                               - -Barack O’bama, A LEO, gets the Democratic nomination and becomes President!  Now that’s putting some positive energy behind what you want to accomplish!  And change in residence?  Upon this Eclipse cycle he is inaugurated and moves into the White House</p>
<p>Also worthy of noting is this ~ If you aren’t in a relationship, an Eclipse cycle can definitely bring one your way!                                                                                                                                             </p>
<p>In addition you could use this time to create a Manifestation Board.  Go to Walmart and get a cheap corkboard.  Put pictures up of things you would like to have or accomplish ~ that new Harley, a Mediterranean Cruise, your special someone, the beautiful home or new Lexus.  Put a mirror on it so you can see yourself in the middle of everything you want to create for 2009!  It doesn’t get much more powerful than this!  SO … take this energy that is available to you to make huge, positive differences in your life!

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5"><span style="font-size: 20pt" /></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt">New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting seeds and setting intentions. This year the New Moon in Sagittarius (Jupiter) falls on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday), which is Jupiter’s day. This is a hopeful offering as Sagittarius invites optimism, idealism, faith and generosity. In Native American traditions the Turkey is a symbol of gratitude, abundance, the give away. Praise, gratitude, and enthusiasm invoke abundance. Rumi says: Poverty of the soul is caused by your inability to praise! Let us all give thanks to our creator/great spirit/ god/goddess for the abundance and blessings in our lives. Embrace the attitude of gratitude.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt">With the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars all in Sagittarius let us hope the Archers sacred arrow of hope, generosity and good intention pierces the darkness of the past eight years. This New Moon conjuncts the ascendant (national identity) in the chart of the USA. Yet despite all the negative news, the global financial meltdown and massive job cuts there is still a collective vibe of hope, new vision, and a reason to believe and say never again to the scorch earth policies of the past administration. The horoscope I use for the USA comes from the excellent astrologer and researcher Mark Learner of Earth Aquarius News. The date for this chart is July 4, 1776, 4:47 PM, Philadelphia, Pa.. I&#8217;ve been using this chart for thirty years and it works well for me. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt" /></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt">The ascendant for this chart is seven degrees of Sagittarius and this is a critical link to the Nuclear axis chart of 1942. For example, Hiroshima, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227917674_1">Three Mile Island</span> and Chernobyl all had triggering planets activating the nuclear axis, which is between 9-11 degrees of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227917674_2" style="cursor: hand; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed">mutable signs</span>. With the New Moon on the ascendant and in opposition to <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227917674_3">Uranus</span> in Gemini we can expect continuing upheavals, major shocks and hopefully reform within the automotive industry. We can look for new breakthroughs and discoveries in science and technology, and political earthquakes loom on the horizon. The <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227917674_4" style="cursor: hand; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed">Sabian Symbol</span> for the degree of the New Moon reads: A Game of Cricket, Keynote: The development of skill in group-situations testing the collective good. It is a symbol of solidarity.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt">On <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227917674_5">November 26</span> <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227917674_6" style="cursor: hand; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed">Pluto</span> returns into Capricorn until 2023. With Pluto at 0 degree Capricorn this activates the Aries point ( 0 degrees of cardinal sings) until February and again in August and September of 2009. Planets at Zero degrees of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227917674_7" style="cursor: hand; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed">cardinal signs</span> (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) are like heat seeking missiles guiding or influencing the expression of that sign in connection with the external world. It is often referred to as a point of fame or recognition. In the August newsletter I wrote with the return of Pluto in Capricorn we might witness the death of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227917674_8">corporate capitalism</span>, as we know it. Capricorn rules government, corporations and organizations. Pluto rules all things that are toxic. The intent of Pluto is to tear things down, then build them back up stronger and healthier than before. Something has to die before something new can be born.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt" /></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt">Pluto rules taxes, debt and will be in opposition to Venus (money, finance) then <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227917674_9" style="cursor: hand; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed">Jupiter</span> (inflation?) clearly suggest the global financial crises will continue until after 2010. There are no quick fixes, no magic wands to awaken. In Capricorn we&#8217;re in this for the long haul. Everyone needs to develop a strategy to participate in his or her own rescue. You either pay the price of discipline (Capricorn) or fail. The old adage: No one plans to fail, they just fail to plan” comes to mind. Recently I heard a fellow astrologer say that in the last days of Pluto in Sagittarius we have stories in the news of pirates roam the Gulf of Aden, and pirates raid the US treasury. Sagittarius is the sign of pirates and scallywags, Arr!</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt" /></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt">The transformational power of Pluto in Capricorn will expose the shame of the corporate excess, greed and corruption and restructure the corporate world from the bottom up, followed by a purging process in order to allow the renewal, cleansing and healing to begin. Pluto in Capricorn may bring rewards (god of buried treasures) as long as the intention is to build something lasting and concrete, and its mission is not solely for self-glorification. Uranus goes direct (forward) on the 27 the urge for change that was put on the back burner is ready to ignite for external expression. The image for Uranus in Pisces is mystics with modems. The symbol for 19 degrees of Pisces by Isidore Kozminsky reads: A sick man lying at the base of a large stone cross.

New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting seeds and setting intentions. The Moon in Scorpio is related to all things deep, dark and mysterious. Scorpio is the sign of birth, death and renewal . This is one of the best New Moon&#8217;s to work on emotional healing by releasing and letting go of old attachments that no longer serve our needs.</p>
<p>The Moon in Scorpio is sort of like going on a blind date only to discover that your partner is Ereskigal, the Sumerian goddess of darkness and the underworld. A goddess, not a god, ruled the underworld. Ereskigal is an earlier form of Pluto.</p>
<p>It is Ereskigal who strips us bare to the bone and of everything which has given us an identity is taken away and leaves us for dead, only to discover that we rise once again out of the ashes renewed and resurrected. It was Carl Jung who said “we discover what truly supports us when that which we thought supported us is taken away.” We find out there is a part of us still there, a part of us that is indestructible and eternal.</p>
<p>Healing rituals with the New Moon in Scorpio are about working in the dark. The wounded animal withdraws into the stillness of the dark empty cave in order to heal itself. Likewise the psyche requires that we go down into the depths of our unconscious in order to heal the soul. The symbol for the degree of the New Moon reads: An Eagle with a snake in its beak. Denotes a forceful, determined character that will not easily be imposed on. With himself he is continually at war, being swayed by two emotions, one uplifting, the other degrading. What he wishes to remain in mastery will remain. It is a symbol of watchfulness.</p>
<p>This New Moon in Scorpio precedes Samhain/Halloween which marked the Celtic New Year, for our ancestors knew that from the dark time, the dark silence, came the whisperings of a new beginning and the stirring of the seed underground. This is also the time of the year when the veil between the two worlds is at its thinnest. This is indeed one of the most conducive times to make contact with our ancestors and the spirit world. The reason people wore masks and dressed in costumes was to frighten or scare the spirits away, and they believed the spirit couldn&#8217;t find you if you wore a mask.</p>
<p>Chiron (Wounded Healer) went direct in motion on the 25th after being retrograde since May. When a planet moves direct in motion (forward) there is a releasing, freeing of the energies. This is a time to shift our energies from attending to our inner wounds, to participate with group and community healing services (Aquarius). Humanistic astrologer Dane Rudhyar predicted that there would be a new planetary body discovered between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus &#038; that it would act like a “higher Moon”. The paradox in our wounding lies in the key to our healing and it all has to do with emotional (Moon) healing. Chiron acts as a bridge or link between two worlds, the last of the personal planets (Saturn) and the beginning of the transpersonal planets (Uranus). Chiron was discovered on November 1, 1977 the day exactly in the middle of two ancient festivals of the dead ~ Samhain, October 31st, and All Soul’s Day November 2nd. This serves as a powerful reminder that Chiron is a bridge or link between two worlds.</p>
<p>On Election Day (USA) November 4, 2008 Saturn makes it opposition to Uranus, This is the first of five passages until July 26, 2010. Saturn represents the government, big business, the status quo, and the past. Uranus represents change, equality, freedom from the past, new breakthroughs.  The last cycle between Saturn and Uranus occurred between  1964-1967. This was a profound time of change and Cultural Revolution such as the Civil rights movement, the Hippie (free love) movement, the Anti-War movement and the Woman’s Liberation movement for equality.  Once again we all feel collectively the scent of change and revolution in the air.</p>
<p>The one area that does concern me is that a Saturn/Uranus cycle can suggest major problems with electronic and new technology that could set up the alarming potential of massive voter fraud. The Republican’s, like Saturn/Coronus, doesn&#8217;t want to give up his power or authority so he swallowed, devoured all his children. This serves as a powerful metaphor that Saturn doesn’t want to empower his children. It was the fear of change, of the new, that ultimately lead to his castration by his own son Zeus/Jupiter. This opposition cycle began back in 1988-89, which began in Sagittarius and moved into Capricorn. We had major economic challenges of the Soviet Union called perestroika, and the Soviet Military (Saturn) pulled out of Afghanistan because of the perseverance and determination of the Afghan “freedom fighters”. We can expect a major shift from the masses that will be as potent, and transformative as was the situation in the mid-1960s.</p>
<p>A political earthquake will erupt shocking the world. Let freedom ring once again!</p>
