Scorpio New Moon

The New Moon perfects at 2:13PM EST, today, November 16, 2009. This Scorpio New Moon brings up the issues of debt, international finance, international relations, pension funds, and interest rates. Scorpio is a secretive sign and we may not hear about any of this because Wall Street and Washington are keeping a low profile. They don’t want the American public to ask too many questions. Scorpio Moon engenders intense energies and stimulates our desire to probe the depths, dig for the answers and to not accept things at face value. A Scorpio lunation stimulates our desire to know what is hidden; rouses our attraction to the forbidden, the mysterious and the sexual. Ooh La La. Scorpio can be a helper and healer or can use the Scorpionic powers to keep others dependent. With Scorpio energy there is not much room for compromise. With no middle road negotiations are hammered out with no holds barred. In the New Moon chart, Venus, the diplomat, in Scorpio, has donned her combat boots. She’s through talking. Saturn and Pluto, at odds with one another, set the tone while occupying important points in the New Moon chart. Saturn is strong, in negotiating Libra but Pluto is at the top of the chart flexing his muscle. Overall it is not a happy influence. On a personal level the energy of Scorpio calls to us to take the high road while giving us the courage to take the dangerous path of truth. Issues of power and control surface over the next couple of weeks; don’t go on a power trip and don’t fall victim to one who seeks to control every aspect of every situation. Don’t obsess and remember to breathe.
