New Moon in Scorpio, November 16, 2009

November 13, 2009 | 1 Comment

As with all things Scorpio, this New Moon is naturally intense.  In the chart of this particular Scorpio Moon, however, there are a significant number of astrological indications that point to it as the most important New Moon of the year.

The New Moon in Scorpio is out of this world.  Potent to begin with, this passionate and instinctual New Moon is tightly trine the Uranus/Juno conjunction in Pisces, aspects which speak of opening up a radical awakening of a new way of being in partnership and commitment that may become enduring across time.  Any New Moon is a time to begin things.  Here, it impacts the Uranus/Juno conjunction in spiritually oriented Pisces, representing the sudden and unexpected in relationships.  We may be drawn to a new or very unusual partnership, seek excursions into other, more spiritual, dimensions or look for a re-definition of our roles within an already committed relationship in ways that allow more personal freedom and individuality.

The reference to partnership is also noteworthy due to the very recent (10/29) entry of Saturn into Libra, the sign most associated with partnerships, and the sign of its exaltation.  It marks the start of a two and a half year period in which it is possible to create a partnership, either intimate or business oriented, that is built to stand the test of time.   On the other hand, Saturn will eliminate any partnership with feet of clay.

It is also significant that this is the first New Moon in 27 years, almost to the day, during which Saturn is in Libra.  The chart for that New Moon (11/15/1982) showed a tighter than one degree conjunction between Saturn and Pluto.  Worth mentioning about this is the fact that during the month of November, 1982, the old Soviet Union began its invasion of Afghanistan.  Now, as this column goes to press, and while Saturn is making a “partile” (exact by degree) Square to Pluto, it is the President of the United States who is contemplating sending thousands more troops to that same country.  The more things change, the more they remain the same.
