New Moon on Monday Astrology

19 October 2011

All of Astrology is a combination of planets, signs, and houses.  The planets are the characters - they’re archetypes of basic energies that exist inside of all of us.  The houses are where things happen, which part of our lives.  The signs are the flavors of how things happen, they’re like genres. 

Right now we’re in Scorpio season.  Mercury and Venus are already there and the Sun will be there by the time the weekend’s over.  The Sun, Mercury, and Venus travel very closely together at all times, they’re the personal planets.  And as they take over sign to sign, the genre of each sign gets a little more prominent in our day-to-day world.  

Scorpio is dark.  Up here in the North it’s when all the leaves are dropping and things are slowing way down in preparation for a long and dreary winter.  Scorpio is the season of Halloween and shadows and the Day of the Dead.  Creepy things, the kind of stuff most of us don’t typically focus on, become more prominent and even celebrated.  Scorpio is scary movies.  Detective stories too.  

Any planet or point colored by Scorpio will have some shadow involved.  There will be mysteries, ghosts, and digging up secrets and bones.  The same is true of any planet or point in close contact with Pluto, the planet that rules Scorpio - or planets in the 8th House, the House that Scorpio rules. 

It’s close to midnight,
