This takes place on November 13th at 5:07 PM (set at Washington, DC) and it looks to be like an incredible Eclipse considering that Congress will be dealing with the “fiscal cliff”! The signs of Scorpio and Taurus are prominent and these are signs of money, as well as signs that are fixed. The bull is represented by Taurus and the Scorpion by Scorpio and they are divided in acquiring what they want without a fight…and this comes as no surprise according to the news headlines.
The rising sign is Taurus and this represents the “face” or persona of what lies ahead, and money is the issue. On the plus side Taurus offers a sensible and practical approach to dealing with issues it confronts, and on the negative side it can dig its heels and remain inflexible to compromise. However, keep in mind that Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and she prefers a tender and loving touch whenever possible. This idea is further supported by Venus in the sign of Libra, which adds a diplomatic touch when needed. Balance is key to the sign of Libra, as is fairness. Adding an edge to this is the planet Mars, which is exactly the same degree of the rising sign via the aspects of the in-conjunct. Although this promises its fair share moments to heated conflict and disagreements, in-conjuncts always lead to adjustments that can be made to reach success.
The Solar Eclipse is in the sign of Scorpio, which represents among many things, other people’s money, power, control and manipulation. This represents the “fiscal cliff” image perfectly! However, it is also located in the 6th house, adding another layer of drama to what lies ahead. It also means “WORK” and our elected representatives have their work cut out for them. The 6th house is noted for being the “wobble” point and this indicates a shift in energies, stemming from a macho “I am in charge” kind of energy to one of receptiveness and cooperation. Houses are like stages, and so any New Moon/Solar Eclipse in the 6th house indicates a period for getting down to basics to maintain normal functioning. Households don’t run by themselves, and somebody has to keep up with the laundry and taking out the trash, which is the essence of this house. So this month is one of doing what is practical, with an eye towards hashing out details through careful analysis.
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, which happens to be in the sign of Capricorn. This means that this Eclipse is setting off one of the “mega watt” issues that affect the entire planet Earth and everyone living on it since 2008, and lasting through 2024. Essentially this means a breakdown in leadership as well as business, and the fact that Barack Obama got elected into office in 2008 is a sure sign that this process has begun. So too was the tanking of the housing market and the subsequent impact this had on the world of business. With this in mind this New Moon/Solar Eclipse acts as a trigger for a much larger global issue, extending well beyond our national borders. What happens in the USA will affect countries worldwide, and the “same as usual” style of politics will NOT be met with approval, and thus the “fiscal cliff” is sure to be addressed successfully.
Why? Because the planet Saturn is in the sign of Scorpio; and this creates what is called a “mutual reception”. This simply means that two planets are occupying each others signs, and this provides an outlet for issues and challenges to be addressed successfully. This will remain true for the next two years, and indicates a slow but progressive improvement in the world of business. Contrary to many opinions, the financial markets will continue to have highs and lows but generally speaking will continue to show progress and growth.
The month also finds Mercury in retrograde motion, adding to the idea that stated ideas are subject to change and mutate over time. As a matter of fact it would be an excellent time for debate and discussion to take place, putting ideas on the table. However decisions and announcements are best put off until after November 26th. It is unlikely that our congressional leaders will spend this time doing this, as typically they are back home in their various home states adjusting to recent elections. And perhaps this is just as well, as politicians are not likely to follow astrological recommendations anyway. But you can if you so choose to do so. We’ll also take a look at each of the twelve signs in the next blog post.
The month gets “hotter” towards the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse of November 28th, as Mars joins forces with Pluto and squares Uranus. In all probability this is when Congress will get down to business and initially moments of high drama are expected. Imagine two alpha males meeting at the table and trying to establish “who’s in charge”…the two parties will each have their say. But after a period of striking each other with threats, they will eventually do what has to be done to avoid disaster. After all, it won’t benefit anyone’s re-election if the ship goes down sinking.
Do be careful around this period, and plan accordingly. Do not use this period to confront situations unless you are prepared for a fight. Instead, take a deep breath and remind yourself that this too shall pass. Instead be prepared to look at a different point of view, and avoid the pitfall of thinking that there’s only one solution to a problem.
