It was Samhaim on Monday and thirteen is the number this week. Thirteen to form a coven and thirteen is the degree of Scorpio where the South Node of the Moon currently resides. All of the Scorpio inner planets are heading toward their own individual rendezvous there, so it will be endings that create space for beginnings for many in the coming days.
Wednesday the planet Venus is conjunct the South Node. Saturday the Sun will be conjunct the South Node and on Sunday it is Mercury’s turn to align with the Node of old Karma and dark Karma. Wednesday is not a good day for launches or presentations, particularly for those with Scorpio or other Fixed Sign personal planets. For all, friendships and relationships that are built on faulty foundations may begin to fail now. Past relationship wounds may reopen under these energies, or problematic people from our past relationship life may show up now. Old feelings of resentment and anger may manifest now. Some may be drawn into past dramas. Karma may come calling for those who have been misbehaving in relationships or friendships. This is not a time to try to get away with something. Be careful what or who you invite into your life under these energies. The best this Venus/South Node conjunction offers is some fairly uncomfortable emotional healing in situations from the past. The Moon moves into Pisces at 2:47 PM EDT Wednesday, taking us deep into the dream and spirit realms for the next two days. Pay special attention to your dreams now. Chronicle them for future reference. With the Moon in Pisces and with Neptune forming a trine with Pallas on Thursday this is a time for spiritual work and restful reflection. Slow down, find quiet, still spaces. Take a spa day if you can, or head out into nature for a long walk. If you take time for yourself now important insights about yourself and about your life will rise and form in the days following next week’s Full Moon/Eclipse. These new insights and the subsequent fresh awareness you will be blessed with will facilitate the sort of profound transformation Scorpio Season is known for in you and in your life. Inspiration for beautiful and moving art can be found under these Pisces Moon/Scorpio Sun energies. Duncan de la Montange There is a New Moon/Solar Eclipse in the first degree of Scorpio on Tuesday. This New Moon/Solar eclipse occurs near the South Node, which is also in Scorpio, so this is a time to purge dark emotion and feeling that you have been holding onto. Let the New Moon seeds you plant now be seeds of liberation from resentments, grudges and longstanding shadow feuds. The best this New Moon has to offer is a cleansing of your inner energy space that ultimately frees more of your source energy for things such as living well, achieving, experiencing joy and giving and receiving love.
Feelings drive actions now and you may experience intense reactivity around you now and over the course of Scorpio Season. Step away from emotional triggers yourself. Fear based people can feel a greater need for control and can be drawn to sneaky behaviors, manipulation and covert actions to achieve their aim; the callously ambitious may also do the same. Stay present minded and observant if your instincts sense something is even slightly off, it may be that betrayal is in the wind. This is no time to be naïve. With Venus joining the Sun in Scorpio and with the New Moon/South Node Solar Eclipse the early days of Scorpio Season 2022 are looking quite tumultuous. Politics and world affairs are obvious cauldrons of chaos with Putin posturing to commit the ultimate act of terrorism against innocent civilians by setting off a nuclear dirty bomb in Ukraine among other things, but your workplace, friend groups or sexual romantic life could just as easily be affected. The coming winter will be difficult, however Scorpio Season does afford an opportunity to develop a strong emotional core which can help you move through it all. In the shorter term, practicing spiritual principles of patience, tolerance and acceptance well and employing a strategy of disengagement from intense emotional displays occurring around you will likely serve you well. Lunar energies remain intense and volatile Wednesday with the Moon in Scorpio opposite Uranus and square Saturn. Expect to experience some drama around you, try not to get any on you though. And if it is you creating the drama remember that in most cases the drama you create in the present rarely serves your long-term best interests. Mercury in Libra trines Mars in Gemini midweek and there are some positive meditating and creating energies available. Mars is about to go retrograde for a number of months, so best to use this energy while it is available. Duncan de la Montagne Sunday October 23, 2022 the Sun enters Scorpio. In preparation for Samhaim next Monday, consider whether you are truly honoring all the generations of your ancestors and the sacrifices they made in their journey as you travel your own life-path now. Never are we more aware of the cycle of life and death and death and life than during Scorpio Season. Most people get better acquainted with their dark side during Scorpio Season each year. Do not be afraid to see your shadow self, to know him/her/them, to understand that part of you and to practice self-acceptance as you become aware of all of your nature. Emotions become intense in Scorpio Season. Many are drawn to mystery, some into obsession. Sexual energy is strong during Scorpio Season. Passion rises. Expressions of deep feeling prevail. Conflicts come to a head. Scorpio is a transformative sign and this Scorpio Season should prove especially transformative due to two eclipses that will occur.
Venus transits into Scorpio as well on Sunday. When Venus and the Sun are both in Scorpio passions are boosted even higher. Expect this to an especially intense Scorpio Season brimming with intrigue, plots and scheming. Politics and world affairs are the obvious cauldrons of chaos, but your workplace, friend groups or sexual romantic life could just as easily be affected. People in relationships that are not sexually satisfying can feel compelled to taken action under these energies. Some may look to transform the relationship in some core manner, others may seek out excitement and adventure in secret affairs. Saturn went direct in Aquarius on Saturday and therapy time in the Aquarian ruled areas of life in your natal chart is now over. Questions for you to consider in the coming days - What have you learned about yourself and your journey over the past five months? What do you need to change in yourself or in the structure of your life? How can you best move forward? Duncan de la Montagne The Moon in Pisces brings us into the realm of emotions, dreams and spiritual experience. Saturday September 10 at 5:51 AM EDT the Full Moon is exact in Pisces. This Pisces Full Moon presents an opportunity to heal the psyche from wounds both recent and past due to a late day connection with Neptune and a supportive interaction with Pluto. A sextile between the Full Moon and Uranus brings exciting insights, interesting new encounters and opportunities for adventure. This is a magical and spiritually empowering Full Moon. Truth is revealed. We can feel inspired toward profound change. A path to a better state of being and a better life can be revealed if we are ready to receive it. New spiritual ideas, values and principles are revealed to us and hold appeal. We let go of fear and move forward toward a visualization of a life that inspires us and feels right for us. We realize that we alone are responsible for the state of our life and the state of our being, and that only we can change either of them.
Duncan de la Montagne Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Libra Friday. This third Mercury retrograde of 2022 can bring confusion, misunderstandings, disappointment, increased indecisiveness, procrastination, delays, technical breakdowns and loss of documents or key information over the next three weeks to the lives of Libra, Cancer, Aries and Capricorn Sun or Rising folk and for people with primary planets in Libra. Expect the unexpected, leave extra time and back up everything under these energies. news and restrict and delay thinking, communications, and travel. Do not allow yourself to be taken advantage of due to increased gullibility.
Duncan de la Montagne Wednesday at 1:11 PM EDT the lunar energies and our emotions become more intense as the Moon moves into the Fixed Water sign Scorpio. You may find you feel the need for alone time Wednesday night. Thursday September 1 Mars in Gemini sextiles Jupiter in Aries. This aspect would be stronger and have a more positive influence in proactive ways if Jupiter were not retrograde now. As it is, it can bring enthusiasm and good energies for new projects of all sorts; however, caution now against getting caught up in the moment and taking on things that you really have no time or bandwidth for at present. Many will find their thoughts drifting back into the past due to this sextile, avoid over-romanticizing things while you visit though. The Moon is conjunct the South Node in Scorpio on Thursday and it squares Saturn, this is a dramatic planetary energy combination that can bring conflict to a head in a serious way. Do be careful what you say or do now, bitter feuds are spawned under energies such as these. Another manifestation of these energies can be the arrival of consequences from past poor choices or actions.
Duncan de la Montagne Mercury enters Libra Thursday and we become more concerned with creating harmony and building consensus in our thoughts and communications. This is an art and design oriented transit for Mercury, aesthetic oriented creative energies abound. This can be a good time for negotiations, particularly in areas where talks failed previously. Avoid shying away from confrontation in the cause of keeping the peace during this transit though. Also caution against employing charm in a dishonest fashion through people pleasing or more overt manipulations. Uranus stationed retrograde in Taurus Wednesday. This five-month long retrograde will bring us face to face with fears, ultimately spurring us toward changes in how we create and experience structure, and in our relationship with convention and with authority.
Duncan de la Montagne The Sun enters Virgo Monday. For the next four weeks solar energy will be grounded, sensible and organized. Virgo creates security through analysis. This is a great time for creating new discipline and structure in life, important elements in the forming and maintaining of a well functioning life in the world. While it is of course important to have standards in life, take caution against perfectionism and being overly judgmental when the Sun is in Virgo. Remember, you are human, and so is everybody else around you. So yeah, not perfect. Therefore there should be no expectation of perfection. Also, remember that life is not an exercise in striving to be the most virtuous being possible. Again, you are human. Do try to remain true to your own spiritual values in your day to day, while still realizing that you are going to mess up from time to time, as will everyone else around you. Virgo Season is a great problem solving astro-season; be constructive however, and remember to employ compassion. Mercury in Virgo trines Pluto in Capricorn Monday. Fresh information may rise to the surface early that can lead to new insight into your life and your journey. Mysteries may be solved now.
Duncan de la Montagne The Sun is pulling off from its square with the North Node and Uranus and the South Node today, however Fixed second Decan Sun people should still take special care around risks and potentially reckless actions. They should also pay special attention to what is going on around them. Generally speaking for everyone this is probably not a good time to try to ‘get away’ with something. And those who have been getting away with suspect or shady things may find themselves caught and dealing with consequences now.
There is a Full Moon in Aquarius at 9:35 PM EDT Thursday and anything goes. The unique individual in each of us comes out during the Full Moon in Aquarius. Indeed this is the time when many let their avant-garde, fringe or freaky side come out to play. Let your guard down and have some fun now. On another level this Full Moon will shed light on whatever Saturn has been peeling back and revealing in your life or in yourself as it retrogrades through Aquarius. This can result in a liberating resolution of past issues. The development of a more authentic version of yourself that you embody as you move forward down your path is also possible now. Venus enters Leo Thursday. Attractions get hotter and relationships intensify. There is a grandiosity to Venus in Leo that is expressed in how we experience love and in how we express love. The performers among us will likely get even more expressive in the performances during this transit. Overall these energies align nicely with those of the Sun for the rest of its journey through Leo. Live your passion, people. Mars in Taurus sextiles Neptune in Pisces now and the physical world aligns with the spiritual plane. Inspiration for new paths in life can occur as a result of this aspect. Open your mind Thursday and Friday and the Universe will provide. Duncan de la Montagne Monday August 8 at 2:39 PM EDT the Moon moves into the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn. This is much more grounded and accomplishment oriented lunar energy than what we experienced over the weekend as the Moon transited Sagittarius. Practical productivity is what will feel best for the duration of this lunar transit. Focus should come more easily now for most. The first two days of the new week are perfect for working toward getting ourselves, our space and our life in better order. The Sun in Leo forms an exact trine with Chiron in Aries Monday, creating one of the great healing windows of 2022. As Chiron is retrograding now we are afforded a wonderful opportunity to reconcile past issues over the next couple of days, to understand things in a new way and to make peace with them on some level. Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn Monday putting some stress on relationships, certainly exacerbating any already existing strain. Power dynamics may get complicated, secrets may be revealed and enemies previously obscured may show their face now. At very least someone is going to reveal something they have done or something about themself to you that will come as something of a shock. While these Venus/Pluto energies may result in discomfort or discord, ultimately they are aligned with the overall energy tone of the early week which is geared toward creating better order, balance and well being in our lives. The Moon will continue to transit through Capricorn Tuesday and the energies of the Venus/Pluto opposition will remain strong until Wednesday. Those who are able to proceed with calm, steady determination are likely to make the most of the energies of the early week.
