Posted by: marymaclean // Category: New Moon, UncategorizedFellow Star Gazers…check this out!
This election will be over soon and we will all be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Whoever gets in will have overwhelming situations to deal with. The economy is in trouble and, by my calculations, there will changes that start in January of 2010 that will transform our values, as well as our finances, until October of 2011.
For my astrology students: look at the chart for the U.S. and you will see that Pluto will conjunct Venus during this period.
For each of us there will be a change in our personal financial values. Questions like “Is this worth the time? Or energy?” The operative word will be ” worth”. You will be making decisions on worth throughout next year. Values are changing.
I am starting to get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas, my favorite holidays. I always say it’s too much work but I must be programmed to perform Holiday Feasts. This Thanksgiving will be a first as my daughter has gotten engaged and, hopefully, there will be a new mouth to feed at the table. My son Anthony, his wife Robin and my granddaughters, Cassandra and Isabella, will be here and I want them to remember these special times when we are all together. I always make a turkey but, in reality, by the time we get to the turkey, everyone is pretty full. I still make it because it’s tradition. I was jostling ideas about some traditional Italian dishes I could make before the turkey. I’ve always had my granddaughters over to help cook special dishes. This year when I have them over, they will learn another Italian dish for Thanksgiving. Mmmm-m. So far, they have helped me make stuffed shells and lasagna. If you have any ideas…please comment.
This month has some very interesting aspects. The first thing I want to address is the New Moon in Scorpio. This Moon is sensitive, intense, secretive and fixed. It comes in with a mission. The New Moon Eclipse back on August 1st, 2008 at 9 degrees of Leo, is in square to this New Moon, bringing many challenges from the last three months to a head. This will be a turning point in matters associated with the challenges that appeared on that New Moon Eclipse on Aug. 1 th, 2008. What was challenging you at that time? The challenges will in some degree, be resolved this next month.
RULE: New Moons bring in challenges and Full Moons bring in resolutions.
RULE: Squares bring in change.
RULE: Oppositions bring in endings.
I am writing with more astrological data so you can see how I came to my conclusions. The main aspects are: the above New Moon Square the August 1st, 2008 New Moon Eclipse, the Fixed T square that is explained in each zodiacal sig, Uranus and Saturn are in the throes of opposing each other and will be part of this months changes. Uranus in Pisces and Saturn in Virgo are both in mutable signs forecasting change from the old to the new. Usually, it is pretty explosive or unexpected. It is and has been in orb for awhile, so you may be letting go of old, familiar and safe, for the unexpected, unusual and unfamiliar. The words I hear most at these times are, “It’s not worth it to continue this path!” You probably realize by now that the opposition is exact on Election Day. In your personal lives there will be a letting go of something for more freedom. On a national level, it is the Election. On a personal level, it takes place where Virgo and Pisces are positioned in your chart. I have tried to make it easier for you to see the connections between the aspects. I don’t know if I have succeeded. You will have to let me know. Last, but not least, is Jupiter in Capricorn in Square to Mercury in Libra.
Mercury went direct on October 15th, 2008 and by October 31st it will have passed the position where it went retrograde. This means that anything that was delayed up to that day will start to manifest after passing the 22nd degree of Libra. Mercury will square Jupiter on the New Moon bringing in a lot of communication. I have tried to show you where it will come from. Please comment on this style of Astrology.
This forecast should be read by your rising sign. It will be more meaningful for you.
