Waning Moon in Libra Moving into Scorpio

The Libra Moon approaches the late degrees, reaching out to the outer planets, ready to receive their messages. Today's aspects include inconjunct angles-of-adjustment with Jupiter and Uranus, and flowing trines with Neptune and Chiron.

Code Pink Vigil

Because classical astrology does not recognize the inconjunct aspect, nor Chiron the wounded healer, the Moon officially goes void of course with her trine to Neptune at 7:34 pm EDT. The trine to Chiron at 7:48pm and the inconjunct to Uranus at 9:26pm delay the beginning of the void time, if you choose to include them (as I do). The Moon dives into Scorpio's depths at 2:16am Friday, where she will join Venus at 4:24am.

The coming New Moon will be a time of intense transformation. Today's Libra Moon offers us calm and balanced energy in which we can prepare. This is, if you will, a vigil, a time of keeping watch, of meditation, of recognizing that an event is at hand that will change us.

The Mayan calendar marked a profound shift yesterday, November 3, the dawn of the Seventh Day of the Galactic Underworld. At this time, according to Carl Johan Calleman's work, dominance of rational, patriarchal ways of thinking begins to fall away, as we emerge from the Sixth Night. During this Libra Moon, we shifted into a time of balancing the rational and the intuitive, masculine and feminine, cognition and feeling.

This year, the New Moon in Scorpio and the astrological Samhain, when the Sun reaches 15 degrees of Scorpio, coincide with a profound shift in consciousness marked by the Mayans long ago. Astrologer Simone Butler writes of this as a time of alchemy, when we can release and transform. She reminds us that with Venus and Jupiter in strong positions, this transformation can include our relationship with money, something many are struggling with in these challenging economic times.

Ik

Today's day sign in the Mayan Calendar is Ik, which is Wind, a sign of dreamers and visionaries. Wind is the breath is spirit and of life, a spiritual energy of powerful imagining. Today's Libra Moon, sign of Cardinal Air, aligns with Ik to support clear vision.

The Moon today receives messages from Neptune, planet of dreams and visions; Chiron, the wounded healer; Jupiter, bringer of grace and good fortune; and Uranus, the trickster who sends bright flashes of intuition.

Winds of change are blowing. By keeping watch, we can align with these energies, filling our sails with fresh breezes to carry us forward.
