Full Moon
5th November 12.57pm GMT
Sun 12˚ 58' Scorpio
Moon 12˚ 58 Taurus
There’s something very special about
the blueness of the sky at this time of year. We have experienced the first frost and how wonderful
the Earth looks when its crispy white – everything it much more defined. The
night skies have been really clear and to watch Orion rise is a truly
beautiful site. The night of Guy Fawkes is upon us and lots of
people will be gathering around fires, and the heavens will be alight
with endless colours of fireworks.
We are approaching the midpoint between
the Autumn equinox and the winter Solstice - Samhain, one of the ancient festivals of the
year, a power-point in time. We have become aware of the nights
drawing in and for lots of us, it’s dark when we rise and dark when
we return from work. Samhain is a time when we remember our dead,
the loved ones who have gone. All over the world there are festivals
of the dead. The veils between the worlds are thin, light a candle,
reflect for a moment, remember and send love.
The full Moon is in Taurus with the
opposition in Scorpio. Included
in this opposition is Mars and Saturn and Mercury. There are
five planets in Scorpio – Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter, making
this a very intense and passionate time. The Sun and Moon are
once again sitting on the midpoint of Venus and Mars. Due to
the stellium in Scorpio it brings Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury into a
T square with Neptune and the Moon. Mercury and Jupiter are square
Saturn, reflecting a lot of fixed energy. Are we too stubborn
for our own good? Do we not know when to let go? Are there
lots of people feeling like they are stuck in a rut and can’t get out? Scorpio
has an amazing ability to transform, heal and let go. People
often feel uncomfortable with Scorpio energy, saying, ‘Oh Scorpio –
watch out, they have a sting in their tails and you don’t want to be
on the end of that!’ Well Scorpio can go where other people fear
to tread and have amazing compassion and acceptance. Scorpio
is the ruler of the eighth house naturally and is to do with taxes,
other people’s money and inheritance. The Stern report (a good
name reflecting Mercury and Saturn) has given a stark warning about
climate changes that are upon us and the UK government have been talking
about green taxes, creating lots of debate amongst people. We
live in a throwaway society – how much do we really care about this
planet Earth that is our home and what do we want for our children
and grandchildren to inherit? We are all so busy not giving ourselves
time to reflect, how can we manage our time so we have more?
Mercury is retrograde until the 18th
of November. On a mental
level, it feels like we are going over old ground. We will be
hearing more about the environmental issues. Don’t worry about
the things you can’t do, just do the things you can. Scorpio
likes to transform, reuse, recycle. Put a brick in your toilet
system and save water. Moon in Taurus – share a bath – walk somewhere
- connect with the Earth. Let this planet show you her hidden
beauty.
I leave you with a quote from Phyllis W Curott
“ Magic, I knew does not work against nature but with her, and the
wisdom that one needs to make choices, to experience magic,
to live, to be in the presence of the divine is ever present in the natural
world. True magic is to remain connected to the sacred source”
Blessings to you all at the time of our full Moon, happy Samhain love
