New Moon in Scorpio: An Analysis

The upcoming New Moon is marked by celestial death, grief and rebirth. In a few hours, it will occur at 28 degrees of Scorpio, where the lunar waters descend into their most dense and mortal state. The previous Venusian lunation is near its setting and the of the Queen of Night fades within the dark iron of Mars. In Scorpio, the sign of death, putrefaction and regeneration, the Moon is in her zodiacal fall. Her aquatic and emotional current becomes here a stagnant lake, and the maternal tone acquire the weight of blood and metal.

At this penultimate degree, the silver reflection of the Moon is constrained by two malefic forces: the cutting power of Mars and the melancholy of Saturn, ruler of the bound. This New Moon is an act of interior alchemy, as the celestial womb closes itself in a submerged tomb to perform the hidden miracle of regeneration. The poisoned waters of Scorpio hold within them the secret of healing, since only poison recognises its own antidote.

This New Moon is also the stage of a triple conjunction, as Mercury retrograde is already under the burning cazimi force of the Sun in the very same degree of the novilunium.

Sun in Sagittarius: An Analysis The entrance of the Sun into Sagittarius is the rekindling of will and consciousness after the long autumnal descent. Since leaving Leo, the Sun has fallen silent: peregrine in the mutable and mercurial Earth of Virgo with a partial solar eclipse; then his zodiacal fall in the cardinal and Venusian Air of Libra; and finally submerged in the fixed and martial Water of Scorpio. Three stages of descent, purification, and reconciliation with matter, the Other, and the shadow.

Now, in Sagittarius, the Sun regains its diurnal nature and becomes once more the ruler by triplicity of Fire, asserting itself as the sigil of the masculine, warm, and luminous principle.

Sagittarius is also the first of the transcendent signs, the one that, after the Scorpionic ordeal of death and rebirth, opens the soul towards the Divine in the upper arch of the wheel. When in Sagittarius, the Sun symbolically ascends to the ninth house, the Domus Dei, the House of God, allowing the mutable fire to ignite faith, belief in the Invisible, in the Unseen. The bow points upwards. But, in a sky saturated with Water, the fire of Sagittarius is born under unusual conditions. Mars peregrine in the same sign is the other single source of fire, but also unstable. A total lunar eclipse in Pisces, two recent stellia in Scorpio, and the near absence of Air, Earth and Fire have left the heavens heavy, moist, and inward-looking for months. Even as the Sun rises into Sagittarius, it also carries the residue of this cosmic humidity, something even more profound when the ruler of this ingress is Jupiter retrograde in Cancer.
