The Sagittarian New Moon: Playing By the Rules and Opening the Heart

Always keep your composure. You can't score from the penalty box; and to win you have to score. Bobby Hull

If you must play, decide on three things at the start; the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time. Chinese proverb.

How a person plays the game shows something of their character, how they lose shows all of it. Anonymous

Please don't ask me what the score is, I'm not even sure what the game is. Ashleigh Brilliant

Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun. Indian proverb

The Sagittarius New Moonfalls on Thursday 27th November and Friday 28th November in Australia. The effects of a new Moon last for about a month and set the tone for the month between this new Moon and the next. The Sabian Symbol for this new Moon at Sagittarius 6 is A Game of Cricket.

The trick with this new Moon is playing by the rules of the game, being particular about details, dressing the part if necessary, giving things your best shot, being competitive but also aware of every other player's needs or desires. Cricket games sometimes went on for days, so there's also a need to know when to call a halt, when to draw up the score and accept the umpire's decision and when to claim victory of accede defeat. One is never really defeated in a game of cricket, though, it's more about the enjoyment of playing the game out in the fresh air under the sky, and, hopefully the Sun. One has also to make sure that the outfield is protected - you have your distant bases covered so nothing untoward can slip through; like having your bases loaded in baseball.

A White Dove Flying Straight and Fearlessly Over Troubled Waters: The Taurus Full Moon

Lift me like an olive branch, be my homeward dove.
Leonard Cohen

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon

I always liked the story of Noah's Ark and the idea of starting anew by rescuing the things you like and leaving the rest behind.
Zach Braff

November's full Moon is a very powerful one. Happening on November 13, it is in an exact t-square with Neptune. This can bring idealism, hope and enlightenment or confusion, mixed messages or a sense of abandonment. Of course, how you respond depends on what's happening in your life.

The Sabian Symbol for the full Moon is Taurus 22: A White Dove Flying Straight and Fearlessly Over Troubled Waters. The "White Dove" is a reassuring symbol of messages regarding peace, hope and redemption. It shows a clear mission that needs to be fulfilled, sometimes without worrying about any personal consequences. Noah sent out a White Dove from the Ark. It flew "Straight and Fearlessly Over Troubled Waters", bringing back an olive branch, a sign that landfall was near and redemption was at hand.

We are like children, who stand in need of masters to enlighten us and direct us; and God has provided for this, by appointing his angels to be our teachers and guides.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you... Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.
Saint Francis de Sales

We forget to pray for the angels and the angels forget to pray for us.
Leonard Cohen.
