Astrograph  November 16 2013

Sunday morning’s Full Moon in late Taurus is interesting in that it highlights the Venus and Pluto conjunction that has been active over the past few days, along with also making a chime with Jupiter, recently turned retrograde in Cancer. The Sun and Moon make semi-square and sesquiquadrate aspects to both Venus and to Pluto, and very precisely to the Venus/Pluto midpoint. Jupiter, recently retrograde, is also aspected by the Full Moon, and together these archetypes represent a fundamental optimism to make our way forward in spite of everything, involving a softer symbolism than those to which the recent tough configurations have inclined. This softer side is also well reflected by the Venus-ruled energy of the Taurus Moon. We are in some ways coming out of a dark tunnel stemming from the early November Scorpio solar eclipse.

As we do, however, we must remember that Uranus and Pluto in combination, still powerfully highlighted in these November skies and remaining less than a degree away from their storied square, drive a harder edge of implied transforming vision. It is important to recognize this transformative urge as a vitally necessary component of these late November skies — and of our lives at this critical juncture, as we head toward the turning of the year.

Dear Friends, I thought it would be good to repost here from our website (www.thepowerpath.com) what was written for the November forecast just so you know you are not alone in this big process called change and that there are others probably experiencing the same thing.

"November 8-15: During this "shell shocked" time sometimes it is enough just to put one foot in front of the other. You may feel contracted or have difficulty staying up beat and positive. You may be unfocused or confused or scattered. There is much that is changing and paying attention to your immediate environment is crucial. Keep you daily goals achievable and be disciplined about staying neutral, not taking anything personally and seeing everything as a work in progress.

Remember that even if it does not appear that there is any progress in the physical, there is a great deal going on energetically. Keep your mind occupied with mundane tasks so it does not go into fretting, obsession and anxiety about what it does not know.

Comet ISON on November 10, 2013

ISON/ISIS

To Isis

Bestower of Wealth,
Queen of the Gods,
Speaker of Wisdom,
Omnipotent Lady,

Agathe Tyche, greatly renowned Isis ...
through you, Heaven and Earth have their being;
and the gusts of winds and the sun with its sweet light ...
All who live on the boundless earth ...
invoke  your fair name, honored among all ...
Syrians honor you as Astarte, Artemis, Nanaia;
Lycians as Leto, the Lady;
Thracians name you Mother of the Gods;
and the Greeks Hera of the Great Throne, Aphrodite,
noble Hestia, Rhea and Demeter.
But the Egyptians call you 'The Goddess';
for you are all other goddesses invoked by humankind.

-Isidorus, ca. 100 BCE

Eclipse Portal Closes

IN KEEPING WITH the themes of last Sunday’s Solar Eclipse in Scorpio, this past week has brought many issues to the surface that had been hidden from our awareness until now. Scorpio represents a shamanic journey into the night and the darkness, with the purpose of revealing a treasure and a light that is needed in our lives.

Of course, with Saturn conjunct the Solar Eclipse, much of that journey may have brought with it a heaviness or increased sense of responsibility, a feeling of fate, or an awareness that something is coming to an end. It may also have uncovered latent fears or other uncomfortable emotions that have yet to be transmuted.

This eclipse has opened a door of opportunity for us to come to terms with the shadows and bring them into the light. This theme is in effect for the next six months in varying strength, and is especially tangible this week, as we follow the waxing Moon into fullness next Sunday.
