New Moon 9 Scorpio
8:35 PM Washington DC
Chilly night in Washington D.C. eh? The cold Scorpio new moon conjunct the sun impacted the U.S. 11th House. Senator Harry Reid in an impressive Scorpio sting move came out of left field slapping the Republican leadership upside the head with a frigid dose of cold hard reality.
The new moon is joined in the 11th with Jupiter making it's presence felt adding an explosive factor to the mix creating a megadrama in the hallowed halls of the US Senate Chambers. That's the ole Scorpio sting, it's a gotcha.
Transiting Saturn in Leo is rappin' rulers across knuckles focusing in the 8th House of death, endings, assassinations, rebirth. Saturn finds expression of its square with the new moon as the loud voice of the People demanding the truth. Transiting Uranus trine with the moon and inconjunct Saturn ties this altogether with an unexpected, shattering impact.
November 1st is the Lunar Samhain, the Celtic New Year. Nice coincidence eh? On Halloween, or Hallows Eve celebrated on October 31 the crops have been harvested and stored for the long winter the home cook fires are extinguished. The Druids would gather on a hilltop or in a forest. The priests lighting sacred fires and offering sacrifices for the sun's season is ended and the darkness would begin. Come dawn the Druid priests would give an ember to each family who would then take them home to start new cook fires to keep them warm and free from evil spirits.
Senator Harry Reid gave every American an ember when he stood up and put the Senate into closed session. Otherwise American homes will be cold this winter. The 2,027 lives sacrificed in the sands of Iraq for OIL are embodied in those embers.
Mercury in Sagittarius wants the truth told. Loki lurking in the US 12th House of things going bump in the night, of skeletons becoming animated exiting the White House closets. Loki telegraphs the US Venus in Cancer in the US 7th playing out the decadence and depravity of the Bush Administration on the world stage.
Not to be left out of the dynamics Mars tags the US Midheaven in a minor contact in a sesquiquadrate, 135 degrees, challenging aspect. The warlike energy confronts the US pResident. Lurking quietly in the 10th House beset by Mars sits the karmic South Node conjunct the US Saturn.
Can you say, REAP THE WHIRLWIND!!!!
