Scorpio New Moon 11-12-2004

Astrologically, Uranus is the Awakener, the Liberator, the planet of revolutionary changes. Uranus has been retracing his steps from 6°48' to 2°52' Pisces, inspiring us to break free from conventional perceptions while strengthening our attunement to Spirit and our alliances with like-minded souls. Uranus also rules technology and, in Pisces, has helped to unify divergent groups around progressive goals.

His forward motion represents a readiness to take a leap and make a big break from the past. The Sabian symbol for this New Moon combines the potency of Saturn and Uranus shifting directions at this time: For 21 ° Scorpio: "Obeying his conscience, a soldier resists orders; a readiness to face the results of a refusal to follow the authoritarian patterns of an aggressive society." Mars, the planet most associated with warfare, is in a waning square to dutiful Saturn and approaching a trine to rebellious Uranus. The Red Planet changes signs less than two days before the New Moon.

As Mars moves through Scorpio from November 10 to December 25, he seeks to raise personal desires to a higher level. Mars teaches us about force, courage, and power; in Scorpio, we learn that there can be no outer peace without inner peace, and though we are not always in control of our outer circumstances, we are in command of our responses to them.

This New Moon shows us our evolutionary edges where we give away our power and where we must face our demons. It impels us to integrate our shadows and to use these challenging times as fodder for advanced spiritual growth. "Watch for the signs of the end of the Dark Night, namely a painful and persistent desire for a more intimate union with God. This feeling can bring the greatest discomfort of all, but it should be pointed out that such longing will open the person to divine deliverance" (B. Groeschel).
