Astrological Energies of Fall
Scorpio New Moon
The silent re-birth rises
A silvery scythe cutting the night
Tender as a new scar.
Her mewling light shadowed in cloud
Opens old templates
Initiates unknown desire.
Push back the darkness
Heed the call to ‘beginner’s mind,’
Skywalk this spirit,
Her talisman waxes within.
With courage as your sacrament,
Turn now
Face the unknown journey.
Wisdom Body Notes Oct. 31-Nov.9 by Samantha Cameron
Preparing us for Friday’s New Moon in Scorpio, when watery depths of hidden emotion and desire power the upcoming path, we are invited to innovate, to open to lightning strikes of unexpected insights, and turn with “Ahaaaa’s” to surprising discovery, and disruption. This is not the Moon’s agency, rather these genius moments occur whenever Mercury, the lower mind, opposes Uranus, the higher mind. Pay attention to the possibility of creative breakthroughs, and/or becoming unglued from old paradigms. It is exciting as well as challenging, especially as Mercury moves into its intense anarectic 29 degrees of Scorpio,, making innovation and liberation highly active between Oct. 27-Nov. 2nd. These two planets are a perfect, if erratic, cosmic threshold opening the world to higher, deeper, wider, and elusively extravagant change. A tiny note of importance is knowing that Uranus is very close to Algol, a binary star, which brings in assassination possibilities. It’s a notorious star said to represent Medusa, a gorgon whose hair was made of snakes, and if you faced her you were turned to stone. Another option is; instead of looking at Algol only as a star of tragedy, step back and visualize it as a star of transformation, even magic and power, who is often is highlighted in the charts of radical artists and revolutionaries.
Into this vibrant cosmic mix we add the ancient energies of Samhain (pronounced “Sowen”), Diwali-the festival of lights, and All Saints as they breath their life and light into this New Moon. Samhain, as you may remember, is the Pagan Celtic celebration signaling the beginning of winter that took place on November first. Like a new moon, it marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next. Samhain’s cycle was associated with death, and the porous veil between the dead and living. This has become Halloween, and/or Diá de los Muertos. Long considered a threshold to the spirit world when doors open to the dead, and the mystery of spirit. For many, there is an unconscious fear associated with what lies hidden, what has passed yet energetically remains. When drama happens out of the blue, or comes from unexpected anger, this is especially true, but it also offers opportunity to be in touch with our deepest self, our inner shaman or sage. Put down roots to grow into the wizard you have always wished to become! Howl down Algol. Light a candle for victory over darkness.
Energy is energy and everything is energy.! The more conscious we grow about using it wisely, the more understanding we have, especially at this turning as we are in a period when major planets are oh so busy and demanding, continuing to be offer surprising opportunities through the November. At this threshold, we have several cosmic-face-offs infusing the world with possible energies of anger, drama, fear, difficulty, and intensity, upsetting well-made plans. Remember, we always have choice in how we respond. Planetary energy cannot make us do anything. Yes, it can evoke, poke and prod, but the fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars but in ourselves when we falter. As this New Moon falls on the first day of November it will influence the entire month’s big events, making her dark re-birth of the highest importance.
This emotional rebirth is ruled by both Mars AND Pluto, the personal and impersonal rulers of Scorpio, and they stand in opposition to one another as a transformational, nuclear force. Mars (the warrior) opposing Pluto (god of death, transformation, and sex) births the New Moon, with their opposition, becoming exact and most powerful on the 5th. (It’s an extraordinary ‘say it ain’t so!) Scorpio is always interested in authority, usually hidden, as in being the power behind the throne. This face-off will not be hidden, nor ignored. It is impulsive, passionate, and reactive. It will unearth Scorpio secrets that have lain buried, particularly those about finances and power plays, and may even reveal medical secrets. A huge aspect of this oppositional force field is that both planets are at the anorectic 29 degrees of Cancer and Capricorn. …pushing to the max!! Mars sits in the Yin of Cancer’s mother, home, country, and Pluto has been in the Yang of Capricorn’s father, power broker, boss energies for almost 17 years. At the final 29 degrees of these signs, they are extremely ‘pushy’, passionately willful, and will take no prisoners, making the first week of November quite intense. Mars grows especially passionate on the 5th as he leaves watery Cancer to enter the fire of Leo. If you wish deeper knowledge on these planets, read here- https://dailybreathjournal.com/astro/astrology/.
Remember-you always have choice. Be a spiritual warrior rather than an assassin, or an ass. Oppositions can attract and repel. These two can be highly competitive, and oh so angry and shocking. They can also call courage and correct use of power to be used well and wisely. When planets oppose one another, they perform as Full Moons do, offering information and light to contrary energies and how we might better use them. The Polarity of Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn are in signatures of the parents and may compel new understanding about our relationship with parents, and ourselves as parents, or because of parents. Consider standing back from divisive rifts and divisions that are revealed to discover new understanding and ways to heal. Chiron, the wounded healer, is in Aires, the sign of ‘I am.’ It says, “I have a right to be here, and I stand in my agency, with power as a warrior. ‘” While here, Chiron asks all of us to heal into being better angels. While Mars, (ruling Aires) opposes Pluto we may be offered an unexpected ‘fire in the belly’ to transform our sense of power.
During this oh so dramatic, high-octane time of spirit and the unseen world, remember we are spiritual beings here to learn our humanity, rather than humans trying to become spiritual. This New Moon may offer new considerations of ‘coming home to this spirit-Self ‘~ creating your inner authority as the true path of power.
*Since you’ve read to the end and are still wondering about election results, here it is. Kamala wins. She takes the popular vote without question, leaving only the concern of how and when she can step into her presidential power. We all have a job in assisting her with this move, which is to visualize it happening calmly, peacefully and without undo drama. Put that energy into the world. Support a wise and strong ‘America the beautiful’ as she turns this important page to welcome in her first female president.
