New Elements Being Formed Beneath Surface Appearances: The Sagittarius New Moon

No pressure, no diamonds. Mary Case

Crystals grew inside rock like arithmetic flowers. They lengthened and spread, added plane to plane in an awed and perfect obedience to an absolute geometry that even stones—maybe only the stones—understood. Annie Dillard

I prefer to explore the most intimate moments, the smaller, crystallized details we all hinge our lives on. Rita Dove

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. Mahatma Gandhi

I see where we are starting to pay some attention to our neighbors to the south. We could never understand why Mexico wasn’t just crazy about us; for we have always had their good will, and oil and minerals, at heart. Will Rogers

The new Moon in Sagittarius occurs on Tuesday November 29, and, it's another very interesting, challenging and rather confronting one. This new Moon is exactly conjunct Juno and is squaring the Moon's nodes, and, Neptune. This can have us wondering about our direction; where to from here, how can we make it to there, what's next in a world of possibilities, how can we trust, how can we rally faith, how can we feel sure of our direction? 

Mercury is trine Uranus and square Chiron, so, it is by listening to the stories that we tell ourselves that we can find a new story, a new paradigm perhaps, something that more closely fits the story that we want to be aligning with.

Mercury is passing over the Galactic Center (GC)at the time of the new Moon and for a few days following it. Therefore, this is a fabulous time for making those decisions, those affirmations, to get in touch with our powers of conscious manifestation and this is a powerful opportunity to be doing it.  We can be, or become, more and more aligned with our true sense of self, especially if we take notice of our thoughts, words, objectives, desires, etc. 

Venus and Uranus are in an exact square, bringing up more of these kinds of questions; are we aligning ourselves with the right purpose, how are our relationships with others really shaping up, are there people/possessions/money issues/moral values, etc, that we are hanging onto that no longer serve us? Are we needing to cut off, say goodbye, move away or somehow disengage from those things or people that run counter to our values or objectives? 

Mars is trining Jupiter, and, the aspect becomes exact two days after this new Moon. This can really signal new beginnings, new projects, ideas being put into motion, etc. Both Mars and Jupiter are sextiling Saturn (Saturn is at the mid-point of the trine), so, concentrated effort can bring some good rewards, there can be 'karmic payoffs' for good planning or things that have been set in motion some time before. This aspect can be very rewarding as long as we find ourselves seeking an outcome, position or place that feels safe and sound. No big risks should be taken: Everything should be considered in the clear light of day. 

Jupiter and Pluto are in a square aspect. This can bring about big divides amongst people, especially when it comes to politics. We can feel very attached to our political, social, religious or spiritual beliefs, and, we may feel rather confronted by those who disagree. Of course, we may have people feeling that way about us when we say what's on our minds. This can be a good aspect, as long as the energies don't become volatile, in which case big arguments can ensue. We've had this aspect for the last few weeks. I'm sure that most people have felt the impacts of this in some measure, at least. 

Here's a link to a recording I made about this new Moon. Listen here.

The Light In The Darkness; Messages Of Hope And Valuable Gems: November's Taurus Super Moon

The fortune, which nobody sees, makes a person happy and unenvied. Francis Bacon

He does not posses wealth that allows it to possess him. Benjamin Franklin

November's full Moon, occurring on November 14 in the US and November 15 in Australia, is a supermoon, it is the biggest full Moon that the earth has seen for about 70 years. This is a Beaver Moon, because "this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs," according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. You can read more about this Supermoon - click here.

It's an extraordinary time of change that we're in. So many things are going on that can not only surprise, but could also, bring a sense of being 'derailed'. In amongst it all, we have to maintain our faith that all will be ok. It seems that the 'establishment' is having a melt down and just where the pieces are going to fall is quite a mystery. Many have been surprised by the outcome of the American election, and, Donald Trump winning. I don't feel as though the issue is that settled, though, and, I have a very strong feeling that Donald Trump will either not be inaugurated as president, or, that he will not be president for very long. Only time will tell, of course, but it all feels like this is a time of flux - we may find ourselves holding our breath to see what happens next. 

This full Moon feels like a culmination of energies, alright, we can feel like we are in some kind of weird moment - perhaps we'll wake up from it and be perfectly fine - perhaps everything is going to hell in a hand-basket. It's hard to tell. I think that this full Moon will release a lot of energies, and, we may feel somewhat better once the peaked feelings (that often come with a full Moon) subside. 

I have decided to leave out the Karmic and Quest degrees from my newsletters as the whole thing was getting too long. However, if you want to read up on all of them, you can by clicking here, and, clicking on the Nov 14 full moon from the selection bar on the left. Click here to check it out. 

I do, however, want to mention a few of the Karmic Condition degrees. In the few days before this full Moon, we have the Sun going over Scorpio 21: A Soldier, Obeying His Conscience, Resists Orders, and, the next day (Sunday in the US), we have the Sun on Scorpio 22: Hunters Shooting Wild Ducks. Both of these degrees can indicate people not wanting to 'follow the rules', or abide by decisions made, or, they may feel like they just want to get up and walk away from something. The Hunters degree can have people 'up in arms' and attacking each other, especially if there's an imbalance of power. The current protests in the US are showing these degrees working.

We also have Mars on Aquarius 3 just before this full Moon. Aquarius 3: A Deserter From The Navy Stands Suddenly Aware That Freedom Is Never The Result Of Compromise. 

And, we have Venus on Capricorn 2: Three Stained-Glass Windows In A Gothic Church, One Is Damaged By Bombardment. 

Mercury's Karmic Condition is Sagittarius 3: Two Men Playing Chess...
