Igniting The Flame Or Burning The Candle At Both Ends: October's Scorpio New Moon

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. Chinese Proverb

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. Buddha

Go within every day and find the inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out. Katherine Dunham

My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But, ah, my foes, and oh, my friends— It gives a lovely light. Edna St. Vincent Millay

We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit. Robert H. Shaffer

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning. William A. Ward

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. William Shakespeare

October's new Moon occurs on October 27 in Australia and October 26 in the United States. The Sabian Symbol is very interesting in the light of the fact that it falls just a few days before Halloween. The Symbol is Scorpio 4: A Youth Holding A Lighted Candle In A Devotional Ritual Gains A Sense Of The Great 'Other World'. This so reflects Halloween in so many ways, and it's fascinating to note that a very intuitive, psychic degree is the degree of the Sun every year on Halloween. It's Scorpio 8: The Silvery Moon Shining Across A Beautiful Gem Of A Lake. We see many images of Halloween with the moon shining across a beautiful, still, reflective body of water. Of course, that 'Great Other World' is largely what Halloween is about. The following is from my book - The Sabian Oracle: 360 Degrees Of Wisdom -

If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it. Toni Morrison

Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn’t know that, so it goes on flying anyway. Mary Kay Ash

If the winds of fortune are temporarily blowing against you, remember that you can harness them and make them carry you, through the use of your imagination. Napolean Hill

Man’s desires are limited by his perceptions; none can desire what he has not perceived. William Blake

A field cannot well be seen from within the field. Ralph Waldo Emerson

The power of thought—the magic of the mind! Lord Byron

Occurring on October 11 in the United States and October 12 in Australia, the Aries full Moon is set to be another doozy in a long line of doozies. It's been an interesting year with extraordinary events and upheavals and many are bound to be feeling a little baffled, battered or bruised. This full Moon has Saturn closely conjunct the Sun and opposing the Moon. This is quite the combo, especially with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Libra. It's a tug of war on many levels.
