AquaSoul’s New Moon for October 25th,2003
Copyright© by Arthur R Gianfermo All Rights Reserved.
Shadows of days hanging endless in time,
Slowly fading,
Passing us by.
Shadows of worlds disappearing from view,
from Survival by John Lodge and The Moody Blues
Shadows have fallen
Shadows have fallen over this great land since the Vernal Equinox marking the start of the IRAQ invasion on March 19th, 2003! The Iraq war and subsequent occupation has fostered discontent. In the last six months since the Scorpio Full Moon, we have witnessed the destruction of U.S. and world resources at an alarming pace all in the name of security and justice. We have even seen on October 10th how the U.S. May Expand Access To Endangered Species - the unthinkable is occuring daily. So now on October 25th, a Scorpionic New Moon can potentially help lift the darkness and phantoms. Haunting specters which the World Management Team and the Bush Cartel have so ruthlessly conjured aided by the boiling cauldron of the nefarious strategist, Karl Rove. Now Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and the asteroid Juno are all in Scorpio, the stage is set for transformation on many levels.
Venus Rises and Joins the South Node - Time to Wake Up!
I have set this chart in Washington, DC which like New Orleans is ruled by Scorpio. The DC chart shows Venus at 19° Scorpio on the ascendant rising over the US and conjuncting the South Node at 21° Scorpio - these are both symbols of old ways not working in our nation. As Barbara Hand Clow says of this aspect: "This will awaken deep knowledge about the roots of past conflicts, the ability to see that they were not resolved since they are still with us, and awareness that everything that is going on now is just piled upon old unresolved issues." Even voters in California fell asleep by electing Arnold, thinking that they were attending the premiere of the sequel: Terminator IV/ Well the power of Scorpio to change and renew is alive and well. On this day we also can awaken to the energies of multiple dimensions which are offering the gift of healing our deeper wounds through Chironic change. Note that the collective power of Saturn 13° Cancer in the 8th House of this New Moon Chart almost exactly opposes Chiron at 13° Capricorn. in the 2nd house of values. This connection with Saturn will revitalize the wounded healer's campaign to take on corrupt and greedy families, businesses and institutions. Chiron in Capricorn is getting stronger as the lying, cheating and stealing CEO's and Big Shots like Dennis Kozlowski of TYCO, Richard Scrushy of HealthSouth, Bernie Ebbers of WorldCom, Ken Lay of Enron and Frank Quattrone are facing multiple days of reckoning. Even Dick Grasso of the NYSE couldn't justify a $140 Million gold-filled parachute beyond the scrutiny of the American people.
Sabian Symbol for 2° Scorpio: A DELICATE BOTTLE OF PERFUME LIES BROKEN, RELEASING ITS FRAGRANCE
As we delve further we see: "the accidental nature of opportunities that impel one to break away from the past, the remembrance of which is still poignant and cherished." This potent symbol is charged by the Sun/Moon and Mercury combust (one degree apart) in Scorpio. We may find that old relationships may be left behind, but their memories will linger on - yes for some of us the metaphor of the broken bottle of perfume may evoke shock and sorrow. At this time there is a challenge, a crisis which can impel us towards true self expression. It should be noted that Neptune the planet that rules perfumes and frangrances is in the DC Charts third house and has recently gone direct at 10° Aquarius 24' . Neptune in the US third house symbolizes our love for the enviroment, animals, and children which has been exploited by the Bush Cartel and their handlers the World Mgt. Team. We must become grounded in our spirituality and see through the media's illusion - perhaps now is great time to kill your TV.
The Shadow Government surfaces for all to view! with 12th House planets.
Sun/Moon/ Mercury in early Scorpio in the 12th house mirrors our secret government and their hidden agendas. Since the start of the theft of the Bush election in 2000 and the January 2001 Inauguration,
secret maneuvers have dominated the Bush Cabinet. Be aware the chart for the Iraq Republic has Neptune at 2°Scorpio 00' confusing our need to withdraw from Iraq and continue pouring $ into the coffers of selected corporations and individuals. Expect to see the New World Order agenda intensified this fall and winter.
Saturn Turns Retrograde
Remember now that Saturn (ye old Taskmaster) has been stifling the 1776 US Chart's Sun at 13°- and conjuncting GW Bush's Natal Sun, mulitiple moves are being made to mitigate the blame of our current international crisis. Secret plans are being implemented to assuage blame for the deterioration of our economy, the deficit expands along with the spending for militarism and corporate greed. All this is amplified by Saturn in the 8th (shared resources) in the New Moon chart - Bush's popularity has been dying just as the US has been losing respect worldwide. Astrologers have been pointing to Saturn's last transit at 13°-14° Cancer which occured between August 1974 and May 1975. This was a dark, Saturnian period of crisis remembered for the Watergate investigations, demise of Dick Nixon and the ravages of the Vietnam War. Saturn will be in retrograde motion until March 6, 2004, just before Spring Equinox 2004. then on June 10th, 2004 Saturn will return to 13° Cancer 14' the Shadow degree By June 10th, 2004 we as a people will have had to restructure our emotions, homes and lives in many ways to avoid the curse of history repeating itself - Not the part about Bush leaving office prematurely.
With Saturn moving Rx on Oct. 25th, notice some of the previous week's headlines: A FEDERAL JUDGE ACCUSED CONGRESS and Ashcroft of trying to intimidate judges in to handing down harsher sentences than they believe suitable." Or on Oct. 24th, Cuba Vote Shows Bush's Waning Authority Saturn in Cancer is starting to take it's toll on this current administration!
Fixed Stars for this New Moon set in DC at 38:54:49N Latitude
I have added a technique generated by Starlight Software: a Mundane Paran Analysis (Paranatellon) Paran's include four main types... Rising, Setting, Culminating, and Anti-culminating.When Planets are conjunct (0º of arc) with either the Horizon or the Meridian. we notice planetary relationships to some prominent fixed stars.
