Moon in Scorpio, Monday, September 21st

At 12:52 AM on Monday, September 21, 2009 until Wednesday morning, September 23rd, the congenial energy of Libra Moon gives way to the passionate, intense, oft times jealous energies of a Scorpio Moon. The idle chit chat of the cocktail party is not for this Moon. Scorpio Moon likes conversations with meat on the bones. Deep emotional needs and issues surface. If you believe passionately in something, this is the time to stand up and defend it. If you end something under this Moon, it is done. Strong desires emerge and people will stoop to manipulation to get what they want. Scorpio Moon encourages the secret and the hidden. In the wee hours of Monday morning, Moon connects with Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler and Venus. Venus has just transitioned from show girl Leo into prim and proper Virgo. Here the power brokers (Pluto) negotiate (Venus) about public health and the armed forces (Virgo). When retrograde Mercury in Virgo, joins Saturn early Tuesday morning it’s get down to business time. Venus’ move from Leo to Virgo signifies that the show is over placing further emphasis on getting down to business. Mercury is still retrograde and will not go direct until Tuesday, September 29th. This indicates there is still time to revise and review but be aware that you may not have all the information. And when Mercury the Trickster aligns with Saturn, as on Tuesday morning, be sure to speak true. Saturn demands the truth and will come back and bite you if you don’t have the facts to back you up. In the public arena, Congress will be debating the big issue of Health Care Reform and there is a lot of covert action going on behind closed doors. Despite all the hoopla around this issue, and despite where any particular politician may stand, only they know what they are hearing from their constituents. When planets and the “lights”, the Sun and Moon, change signs the energy shifts. Autumn officially begins at 5:19 PM on Tuesday, September 22nd. As the season changes so does the psychology of the masses and the markets change. Venus rules love, diplomacy, currency and finance. Her move into Virgo indicates further change. It is interesting to note that with Venus’ move to Virgo details are emerging about the Jonathan Edwards affair. Venus = love/Virgo=details. The headlines this week will include health care, of course, questions about where and what is being done with all the TARP money that Congress dished out and military matters.
