New Moon on Monday Astrology

23 October 2011

The SUN moved into SCORPIO at 11:30 am (pacific daylight time). 

Scorpio is the Fixed Water sign.  Scorpio is stubborn, but it’s also strong, subtle, and sophisticated.  Ruled by Pluto, Scorpio goes way deep. It’s associated with investigation and psychology and the shadow sides of things.  

Scorpio rules the 8th House, the house of shared resources.  That’s sex, death and taxes - and all the things that everybody goes through and tries to never talk about. Scorpio’s not so scared of taboo.  Scorpio’s provocative.  Scorpio heals, it’s transformative. 

Here are some absolutely oversimplified ways planets might manifest when they fall in Scorpio (or the 8th House, or when they have significant contact with Pluto): 

The Sun: Intense persona. 

The Moon: Intense emotions. 

Mercury: Intense communication. 

Venus: Intense attraction. 

Mars: Intense drive. 

Jupiter: Intense Inheritance. 

Saturn: Intensely controlled sexuality. 

Uranus: Sexual deviance.  Last time the planet Uranus (which has a sort of awareness quality about it) was in Scorpio, all sorts of sexual and sexually deviant issues like incest and abuse and homosexuality started to get talked about in public more than ever before via tv talkshows.

Neptune: Deep dark surreal

Pluto: Sex+Death.  Last time Pluto was in Scorpio, AIDS was discovered - and nobody on this earth has thought about sex the same way since.  

 Let’s Go All the Way,
