THIS SUBTLE MOON
The New Moon on November 12 was in Scorpio, a
water-feeling sign of intensity, resilience, discernment,
regeneration. Scorpio is the detective of the zodiac, always asking
WHY? A New Moon in Scorpio feels like Halloween, with witches riding
the aetheric waves. Are they black or white or some other
color? Can you tell the difference?
These days we say Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the god/dess of
the underworld. There s/he is, Shakti-Shiva, whirling like a Sufi
dervish in the dance of endings and renewals, approaching the
extraordinary stillness at the heart of our galaxy. Pluto certainly
has affinity with the Scorpio experience, but it is worth keeping an
eye on Mars, the classical ruler. Mars is known as the god of war.
There are many kinds of warriors. Can you tell the difference? Honor
to our national troops in their integrity and to subtle warriors,
psychic martial artists.
The zodiac degree of the New Moon is 21 Scorpio. Its Sabian symbol
image reads:
OBEYING HIS CONSCIENCE, A SOLDIER RESISTS ORDERS
Indeed there are many ways to be a warrior. What are we fighting
for?
In their Sabian symbol oracle book, Lynda Hill and Richard Hill
describe this degree:
You may find yourself in a situation where what you are expected to
do is against your values. You must make the difficult choice
between allegiance and inner truth. True freedom can only be found
within when one faces these situations with a sense of integrity and
a preparedness to face the consequences.
The Subtle Knife is the name of the second book of Philip
Pullman’s highly recommended trilogy called His Dark Materials. In
this visionary novel, the young boy Will wields the knife. He lost
two fingers in a fight, the mark of the knife-bearer. Only he can
use it, cutting windows into multi-universes. This New Moon in
Scorpio cuts into other worlds, as it did that blade. Will and his
girl friend, Lyra, use the knife to free ghosts lost in the
land of the dead, among many other feats. Lyra is seeking
knowledge about dark matter, or dust, eventually seen as a luminous
golden energy of consciousness. What will we so this month?
Mars, with its arrow or knife-tipped glyph, is exactly on the
point of the South Node of the Moon, known as the Dragon’s
Tail. This is one of the two zodiac degrees where the path of the
Moon crosses the path of the Sun, pinpointing eclipses. We just had
a strong Scorpio-Taurus eclipse on October 27-28. The
aetheric winds of change are blowing as strongly as the fall
hurricanes. The Dragon Tail is a window into the past or another
karmic dimension of experience, opened by the dynamic red blade of
Mars. Just over the cusp of Scorpio, Mars is in its laser-sharp
strength. At best, strong will and keen discernment leads to
Incisive action, assertive moves, courage to renew and penetrate
secrets. What universe are you moving into this month? We have the
power to let go of what is no longer life-giving and vital. It takes
will and strong desire to overcome the downward pull of fear and
negative energy fields that are swirling like foggy smog.
A predawn view of Venus and Jupiter in their diamond-bright shining
gives inspiration, so do loved ones.
What Truth are you willing to assert? Find the warrior inside
yourself and evoke your highest desires with the sharp blade of your
will.

BORN in the SIXTIES: MISSION on EARTH 120 min. cassette $15
from September 2004 talk for the Houston NCGR
A rare conjunction of Uranus and Pluto made this decade a memorable
one. Those born during this time are brave souls who experience
continual extraordinary planetary choreography. This talk considers
issues, challenges and transpersonal agendas confronting this
generation of the years 1957-1972. Current Pluto and Uranus transits
are activating their charts with a heightened intensity. This group
has several interesting sub-groups with exceptional skills, an
affinity for dark matter and sensitive responsiveness to Anima Mundi,
the soul of the world. In 2004 they enter a new dimension of their
experience on planet Earth.

The Black Moon is becoming increasingly interesting to
astrologers world-wide. Named for Lilith, the Black Moon resonates
with this dark-faced goddess of ambiguous reputation that lures us
into compelling experiences and opens cosmic consciousness. Drawing
from Eastern philosophy, depth psychology and modern cosmology, we
will delve into the meaning of the Black Moon.
