New Moon in Sagittarius and T-Squares



The New Moon is here in all its glory in 19 degrees of Sagittarius, exact at 5:29 a.m. on December 11, 2015. This new moon brings the hope and faith associated with Sagittarius but is complicated by a couple of very intense T-Squares.  What is a T-Square?  A T-Square occurs when two planets or points in opposition to each other form a square with another point or planet, which is the focal point of activity.  This planet or point may strive to overcompensate as a result of being the recipient of all this action.  A T-Square stimulates drive and courage as well as tension and conflict.  I will be discussing a cardinal T-Square and a mutable T-Square that are featured in this New Moon.


Cardinal T-Squares can be very active and achievement oriented because they produce enterprising behavior and love to initiate, but can also generate a great deal of impatience.  I can attest to this fact because I have a cardinal T-Square in my chart involving my Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Cancer, my Chiron in Capricorn and Neptune in Libra.  I know that this is a huge factor in contributing to my natural impatience and desire for my own business.  Unfortunately, a cardinal T-Square also has the potential to waste energy in needless conflicts and frustrations.


The cardinal T-Square in this New Moon involves Mars in 16 degrees of Libra opposing Uranus in 16 degrees of Aries and squaring Pluto in 14 degrees of Capricorn.  Remember those seven Uranus Pluto squares between 2012-2105?  If it feels like they are back again, you are not imagining it. By December 31, 2015, Pluto will be in 15 degrees of Capricorn and Uranus will be in 16 degrees of Aries.  This is not exact, but it is the closest these two planets have been since the last exact square on March 16, 2015.  Cardinal T-Squares are renowned for triggering crisis situations and the Uranus Pluto squares were all about crises that forced us (kicking and screaming all the way for some folks) to transform our lives for the better by purging and releasing outworn structures.  So we are getting a taste of that energy again.  The Uranus Pluto squares may be over, but believe me when I say that the aftereffects will still be felt through 2016.

The mutable T-Square with this New Moon involves the Sun and Moon in 19 degrees of Sagittarius opposing Jupiter in 22 degrees of Virgo squaring Chiron in 17 degrees of Pisces.  A mutable T-Square produces restlessness and frequent changes of mind but possesses the ability to adapt well to changing circumstances.  I always love to describe mutable energy as the ability to go with the flow and is like a chameleon.  Major themes of this mutable T-Square include conflicting belief systems between faith and fear and developing new skills and structures for problems that arise.  The New Moon’s square to Jupiter is overexuberant and can indicate that too much of a good thing will still not be enough for us. 

I am not surprised that Chiron is the focal point of this mutable T-Square.  Chiron in Pisces has been a major player throughout 2015 and I have no doubt that it will continue through 2016.  Healing is a huge piece in this cosmic arena and it is not one who goes gently into the good night.


While these two T-Squares featured prominently in the New Moon, we also have had some really positive, flowing aspects that accompanied the Sagittarius New Moon.  Uranus in Aries is trining the New Moon, so don’t rule out any pleasant surprises.  Mars in Libra also sextiles the New Moon, which is definitely favorable for relationships.  The healing theme is reinforced by the trine of Neptune in Pisces to Venus in Scorpio.  This aspect can help heal troubled relationships and boost spiritual connections. It also inspires creativity.  So this New Moon definitely has the potential to live up to its upbeat, optimistic, Sagittarian ideals.


As for me, I am relishing the fact that Mars in 16 degrees of Libra has finally entered my first house and left my 12th house.  I am feeling more energized and empowered.  And I am joyfully experiencing the buzz of the Sagittarius influence on my 3rd house, as communication expands and I hear from new and existing clients.


The north node moved into Virgo recently, which has an underlying theme of service to others.  In that spirit of pursuing my path as a healer, I am channeling that north node and Jupiter in Virgo energy by offering my Reiki services. If you are in the Boston area, please consider getting a Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to destress, revitalize and remove blockages to healing.  It’s a perfect way to start your weekend off.  Reiki is the most profound treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.

Full Moon in Gemini and Saturn Neptune Face Off - Take One



  
The major astrological events of this week were the Full Moon in 3 degrees of Gemini on November 25, 2015 and the first of three exact Saturn Neptune squares on November 26, 2015, which happened to fall on Thanksgiving Day.

On November 25th, I tweeted this about the full moon: 

“Definite reality challenge today as Gemini #FullMoon squares Neptune in Pisces.  Try to see things clearly.”

This was a pretty potent full moon because the Sun in Sagittarius conjuncted Saturn and  transportation issues as many people were en route to visit family and friends for the Thanksgiving holiday.  I found myself at the mercy of traffic and transportation delays on November 24th and missed an important phone call on the day of the Full Moon.  They say that Gemini is a busy mind and at one point on the 25th I found myself texting two people, emailing one and speaking on my landline with another simultaneously.  How much more multi-tasking can one do?  Logic and theory were definitely on a collision course for this full moon.

Neptune is still a key player these days and isn’t about to stop anytime soon.  The full moon squared Neptune in Pisces and the effects of the Saturn in Sagittarius Neptune in Pisces square will be felt through 2016, with two more exact hits on June 17, 2016 and September 10, 2016.

The first of the Saturn Neptune squares occurred on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th.  It inspired me to tweet:

“Reality and fantasy butt heads today as Saturn in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces.  We may feel somewhat restricted.”

The Saturn Neptune square evokes themes of 1989-90 when both Saturn and Neptune were conjunct in Capricorn.  It may be helpful to think back to what was going on in your life back then.  I know that back then I was trying to launch my career as a full-time psychic who dabbled in astrology and it was not successful.  Now I am devoting myself to my work of astrology, psychic readings and Reiki.  Over the years I have pursued a more in-depth study of astrology and added Reiki to my other healing skills.  I think that I have known since my early 20’s that I had healing abilities, but it is only within the past few years that I have realized that my path is to be a healer with a toolkit of Reiki, astrology and psychic readings that capitalized on my intuitive abilities.  I definitely was not equipped to harness that Saturn Neptune energy in Capricorn back in 1989-1990, but now that Pluto in Capricorn has been transiting my third house and conjuncted my north node, I think I am finally starting to get it in terms of transforming my dreams into reality.

Saturn is rational and practical while Neptune is spiritual and compassionate, yet easily disillusioned and prone to escapism.  Is it any wonder that fantasy (Neptune) and the reality of structures (Saturn) are clashing?  The square aspect by its very nature produces tension, while conjunctions can be easy aspects if the two planets involved are on the same wavelength.  I know this personally—I have my Sun conjunct Venus, which is considered an easy, flowing aspect, but my Sun is also conjunct Saturn, which is not an easy aspect.  So when Saturn and Neptune were conjunct in Capricorn back in 1989-1990, they were not a good fit.  And this new alignment they are forming will continue to challenge us through 2016.

The north node moved into Virgo recently, which has an underlying theme of service to others.  In that spirit of pursuing my path as a healer, I am channeling that north node and Jupiter in Virgo energy by offering my Reiki services. If you are in the Boston area, please consider getting a Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to destress, revitalize and remove blockages to healing.  It’s a perfect way to start your weekend off.  Reiki is the most profound treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.

Neptune Direct and Farewell Scorpio Season


Neptune stationed direct in 7 degrees of Pisces on November 18th at 11:31 a.m.and we are still feeling the repercussions of that station.   In addition to being a Scorpio, I am also very much a Neptunian with Neptune in the first house conjunct my ascendant.  I tried to inject a positive spin on this astrological event when I tweeted the following on November 18th:

“There is more potential for dreams to become a reality today as Neptune in Pisces stations direct after 5 month retrograde.”

I also loved the way fellow astrologer Kristin Fontana described Neptune going direct:

“The emotional fog will dissipate and you can see the truth for what it is no matter how bitter the taste at times.”

Neptune’s station has the unnerving quality of making you wonder if you’re blessed with divine insight or losing your mind.  Self-deception can prevail when Neptune is about to make a station as we question reality.  It’s a common theme that I have heard from my clients recently—why is this happening to me and is it real?  But Neptune can also generate compassion, and I am trying to rely on that to get me through the adjustment period of Neptune stationing direct.  We all know that when a planet stations direct or retrograde, the energy of that planet will be intensified for a few days until it settles into its new direction.  Neptune has been retrograde since June 12, 2015 and I know that it has been an intense time for a lot of people.

On November 19th the moon moved into Pisces, inspiring me to tweet a sentiment that seemed to resonate for many of my followers:

“Moon enters Pisces today and conjuncts Neptune tonight.  Expect to feel either inspired or delusional.  Still adjusting to #NeptuneStation.” 

The theme of a reality check emerges big-time on November 26th when Saturn in Sagittarius forms an exact square Neptune in Pisces in 7 degrees of both signs.  This is Thanksgiving Day in the United States and it is also a full moon.  It should be an interesting day and time will tell if that 7 degrees is lucky or not.

In the meantime, the Sun is preparing to exit the sign of Scorpio.  It will enter the sign of Sagittarius on November 22nd.  The Scorpio Sun conjuncted Mercury in Scorpio in 24 degrees on November 17th, inspiring me to tweet:

“Sun conjunct Mercury in Scorpio bodes well for in-depth communication.  Last call to get to the root of the matter.”

That aspect conjuncted my natal Venus in Scorpio in the second house.  I did find myself engaged in conversations about my values and had an interesting telephone consultation with a new astrology client which proved to be very illuminating for both of us. It was definitely a day when mental adjustment about our reality was in order.  But Mercury will leave Scorpio on November 20th at 2:43 p.m. and enter the more open, free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius.  I sense that the Scorpionic energy will still dominate that day because we also have Venus in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn in 12 degrees at 9:02 p.m.  Relationships may very well experience a lot of obsessive energy, which is Scorpio at its core.

Scorpio is an extremely complicated sign and experiencing it at its fullest can be exhausting because of the depth and intensity that it entails.  It is the only sign in the zodiac that has three animal symbols: the Scorpion, the Eagle and the Phoenix.  The Scorpion dwells in the darkness and holds onto negativity and resentments.  It is renowned (or reviled) for its venomous verbal sting.  Yet the Eagle soars higher in the sky and closer to the light by trying to attain a higher perspective.  It is a balancing act between the light and the shadow, which is not always comfortable or easy.

And then there is the Phoenix, which is all about embracing the process of transformation, which is an integral part of the Scorpio persona.  The Phoenix sets it nest on fire and is consumed by the flames in order to be reborn.

Personally, I can attest to the fact that I have had the full blown Scorpio experience in the past few weeks.  I have been forced to confront my own negativity and feelings of resentment recently while trying to heal and make peace with these shadow sides of myself.  It doesn’t help matters that I also have Mercury in Scorpio, so I am definitely not immune to the tendency towards lashing out verbally.  So I have been down and dirty with the Scorpion, attempted to soar like an eagle to rise above the fray, and am also embracing the concept of transformation and rebirth embodied by the Phoenix because deep down I know that rebirth is necessary. But as I have often said, rebirth ain’t pretty.  Letting go is hard work.  I am very grateful that my astrology, Reiki and psychic work is a constructive outlet for me because I tend to attract clients with similar issues who help heal me as much I help heal them.  It never ceases to amaze me what I can learn about myself from my clients. Like most people, I struggle with the ego trying to rule my life, when the bottom line is that sometimes you have to let go of that ego and face your shadow side

I think that facing our shadow side so that we can transform our lives into something more positive and healthy is the mission of the Sun in Scorpio.  But it is an intense ride, so most of us tend to welcome its departure.  Sagittarius has a much lighter, open vibe and is just what we need to usher us into the holiday season.  Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers in the United States!

The nodes of the moon changed signs last week with the north node entering Virgo and the south node entering Pisces.  I am channeling that north node and Jupiter in Virgo energy by offering my Reiki services. If you are in the Boston area, please consider getting a Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to destress, revitalize and remove blockages to healing.  It’s a perfect way to start your weekend off.  Reiki is the most profound treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.

Mercury Joins the Party in Sagittarius


After an extended run in the sign in the sign of Scorpio (from September 27th to October 10th and from November 8th to November 27th due to a particularly intense Mercury retrograde), Mercury entered the sign of Sagittarius at 9:26 p.m on November 27th. This was definitely something to have gratitude for on Thanksgiving Day! It joined the Sun and Venus in Sagittarius, so we can definitely expect a time of good cheer accompanied by a lighter tone in communications and greater ease in getting unstuck. That's what I call the Power of Three - let the party begin!

Mercury did not leave the sign of Scorpio by going gently into the good night, however. Mercury in 25 degrees of Scorpio conjuncted Saturn in 26 degrees of Scorpio on November 25th. I loved what astrologer Penny Thornton said about this aspect in her weekly absolutely. com:

"...while Mercury conjoins Saturn inspiring reality checks and generating a fairly cheerless climate, the Sun is angling Neptune, interfering with our perception and blinding us to reality; either we are in Cloud Cuckoo land or in a severe trough of low pressure."

I concurred with Penny on that score and tweeted this on the 25th:

"Mercury conjunct Saturn in Scorpio today may feel like a harsh reality check but it's temporary. Any depression lifts soon."

What could make me think its effect would be temporary, especially when this aspect squared my natal Pluto in Leo? Well, first off, I knew that Mercury would be leaving Scorpio in a couple of days, but more importantly, I know that Saturn will be leaving Scorpio on December 23rd, so I know that I won't have to experience that aspect any time soon!

Mercury in a fire sign is a time of renewed energy and momentum. Sagittarius is the most future oriented of the fire signs; it loves to explore and expand. It allows freedom in the ability to see things from a broader perspective. New information becomes available and we are encouraged to adapt to that new information. Sagittarius is the mutable fire sign, so we should find it easier to literally go with the flow, share what we know and travel both physically and mentally.

Right now the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius are transiting my second house until December 8th. I keep reading that Scorpios are going to get a break financially, so I am trying to be proactive by launching a couple of holiday promotions for my services. Check out my discounted Reiki special at:

http://phoenixscorpio.blogspot.com/p/reikiholiday-promotion-why-not.html

A Reiki session can provide healing on the physical, mental and spiritual levels while balancing energies in the body and reducing stress. Who wouldn't want that for Christmas?

I am also offering a 20% discount on all of my astrological services through the month of December. Check out my astrology holiday promotion at:

One last things, folks. Mercury in Sagittarius is squaring Neptune in Pisces on November 30th, so we can expect a rather fuzzy day. Chalk it up to being a lazy Sunday. If you are of a certain age, you may vaguely recall Sunday being referred to as a "day of rest." I don't recall it ever being that restful, but it was a time when retail establishments were closed, which certainly meant you didn't have to labor going to the supermarket or the mall, let alone work in a store on a Sunday.

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
