Welcome to this November 27, 2023 Edition of Moon Scope, and thank you for visiting N.B. What we have going on at this time is a full moon in the astrological sign of Gemini. Constellation Gemini, for those who don’t know, got it’s more popularly used name, ‘The Twins,” from the two brightest stars in the group, Castor and Pollux.
Gemini is mutable air, which makes this an extremely adaptable sign. It has been said that Gemini’s live in their heads, which is why the phrase, “I think,” is so fitting.
Gemini is also the sign of communication, and it’s ruled by the Messenger God, Mercury. Adaptability is good at this moment because a lot of information is going to be coming our way. Some of it we may like, some of it may disturb us, and some of it is absolutely necessary, but either way, we take the good with the bad because we’re an open people.
We take in all forms of information, and decide what’s useful to us personally, but that’s after we’ve stood through the barrage, and standing through the barrage is important.
Gemini is the sign of communication, and it’s super-important to remember something about communication. Communication is like a two-way street, it goes both ways. If you and I were having a conversation, it wouldn’t be much of a conversation if only one of us was talking.
There’s an important message coming to us at this time of the full moon. If we’re going to have a conversation and communicate, both parties must be willing to listen and speak. In order to solve some of these distracting, and frankly, aggravating issues, we must be willing to listen to one another. Listen to what you’re partner is saying, and be honest with yourself about what you hear.

If you’ve been in a situation where you ended up as the shoulder to cry on, and the person who sits quietly while the other dumps all their shit out on you, this full moon is going to provide the power to bring that to an end, if that’s what you desire.
At the time of this full moon and for several days after, be on alert for the people in your circle who constantly talk about themselves, people who dominate a conversation and refuse to let you get a word in, and people who only seem to be concerned with themselves.
Also, be on alert for the people in your circle who get upset and verbally attack you when you either speak the truth or call them out on their lies. Being positive is fine and good, but “being positive” shouldn’t be used as an excuse for ignoring the truth or the real issues at hand. Being positive is approaching your problems head on.
There’s a lot going on here, but like I said, Gemini is the perfect sign for this moon placement because it’s intellectual and mutable. We’re going to have to make adjustments, and get rid of a few people who’ve been like a wet blanket on our backs, but sometimes the things we enjoy the most can be the worst things for us.
If you feel like you’re not being heard, or your partner has been inconsiderate towards your wants and needs, or the communication between the two of you has been a one-way-street, let them know. If they can’t respect how you feel, and at least talk through your issues until a conclusion can be reached, they’re not worth keeping around. Trust me.
The last thing I’ll leave you with is this. Gemini is the sign of communication, but actions speak louder than words.
I used to go to this parking lot for some alone time. I like to be alone without distractions and read, and one day, while I was reading about Hermes (aka Shepard of Souls), I had an urge to look up and around at where I had actually parked my car. That’s when I saw this building as it coincided with the text I was reading.
The zodiac is split into twelve signs. Each sign has attached to it, a quality, a polarity, and an element. If you look at a zodiac wheel, you’ll see it’s a circle (barbed-wire fence) broken down into 30-degree segments, and each segment is represented by a sign. It’s the perfect division of 12 because 30 degrees times 12 signs equals 360 degrees in a perfect circle.
The goal or the idea here is to bring into balance, to harmonize, and to make 2 signs turn into 1. If we group our signs by polarity, meaning either positive or negative, then you’ll see that 6 sings are masculine or positive, and 6 signs are feminine or negative.
So, from 12, we now have 6 and 6, still 12 though. All of the air signs and all of the fire signs are positive. All of the earth signs and all of the water signs are negative.
This was always confusing to me because the astrological wheel is set up in a way so that fire signs and air signs always oppose one another, and earth signs and water signs always oppose one another.
According to polarity, fire and air aren’t actually polar opposites because the have the same charge, positive.
If we need a positive and a negative charge to bring these opposing signs together, balance them, or bring them into harmony, but they’re both either two positives or two negatives, then there must be another reason why they oppose one another, and that’s what we have to use to bring them together.
The answer is elements not polarity (yet). Positive air must be combined with positive fire. The two must become one to create one perfect positive combination of the two.
Negative Earth must be combined with negative water. The two must become one to create one perfect negative combination of the two.
We still have twelve signs. Once we complete the above combinations, which is bringing the elements into balance with their oppositions, the twelve become a perfect six.
This is what that looks like:
3 (fire + air = hot air)
Leo + Aquarius= positive hot air
Gemini + Sagittarius= positive hot air
Aries + Libra= positive hot air
3 (earth + water= mud)
Virgo + Pisces= negative mud
Cancer + Capricorn = negative mud
Scorpio + Taurus = negative mud
First we merge the oppositions by element, which turns 12 signs into six signs, and then we merge by polarity. When we merge by polarity, the six signs become three.
Three what?
Well, three crosses like in the crucifixion scene. Jesus was crucified with two other people, so there were three crosses.
A cross has four points. If there are 3 crosses and each cross has 4 points, then we know each cross must contain 4 of something.
For every positive and negative we bring together, each element must be represented.
Cross 1 is the combination of Virgo (earth), Aquarius (air), Leo (fire), Pisces (water). Warm moist air mixed with watery earth mud. This is the mutable/fixed cross.
Cross 2 is the combination of Capricorn (earth), Gemini (air), Sagittarius (fire), Cancer (water). This is the Cardinal/Mutable cross.
Cross 3 is the combination of Taurus (earth), Libra (air), Aries (fire), and Scorpio (water). This is the Cardinal/Fixed cross.
The crosses were used to help us figure out the combinations for each set, but the 6 signs become 3 of something else.
These are the alchemical symbols for each element, and when you combine them in the order (Kissing Saturn’s Ass) that we did, you end up with three Seals of Solomon enclosed by a hexagon.
Which is actually 3 Metatron Cubes (sacred geometry).
As the Moon was transiting through the zodiac this morning, I caught Artemis in conjunction with Pluto, the God of Emotion, at precisely 6:33 AM. Pluto was on the 28th degree of Capricorn and the Moon was on the zero degree of Aquarius, both in the 3rd house.
Right now, the Moon is a waxing crescent lit up at 29%. As receptive and as reactive as the Moon’s energies might be, you still should be feeling the push to do something.
The 3rd House is known as the house of communications, and it covers all modes from the written word to text messaging. The 3rd House also contains anything involving your neighborhood, short distance travel, high school, and because writing is there, creativity is as well. Brothers, sisters, cousins and the relationships we have with these people can also be found in the 3rd House.
From the planetary alignment and the signs involved, there’s going to be a lot of emotions involved, especially when it comes to conversations concerning the future. Now is the time to talk about, write about, and speak about your future. This involves your dreams, wishes and hopes, and the people or friends that you would like to surround yourself with.
Yes, it’s somewhat serious because Pluto is involved, but Pluto is going to provide that push you need to speak about all the stuff you’ve been holding back.
We all like to take the high road, and we all like to be in control of ourselves, but what you’re going to realize is that some people are just hell bent on bringing out the worst in you, but not only that, if you’re the type of person who likes go about your business and concentrate on your grind, some people will perceive that as snobbish behavior. It’s not that you’re avoiding them on purpose, you’re just so focused on what you have going on, you’re not thinking about anyone or anything else.
No need to act in haste, take your time, but move swiftly. And, if you find yourself in a situation where you have to speak, don’t rattle on, stick to the point. When it comes to matters involving your future, the people close to you want to know what’s going on, but the most important thing right now is for you to have a clear vision of what you want your future to be like.
This discovery and advancement of research is credited to me, Francis Joseph LaManna on the date of November 14, 2023. If you would like to build off of my discovery, or work with me for the advancement of these findings, I would like express written permission.
Yesterday, I believe I figured something out.
The picture on the right is one I’ve been scrutinizing, it’s from, The Twelfth Planet, a book written by the late Zechariah Sitchin. According to Sitchin’s book, this disc was brought to the attention of the scientific community in a report submitted to the British Royal Astronomical Society in 1880. They referred to it as a planisphere, and one of the earliest discourses on “The Babylonian Astronomy.”
It contains cuneiform writing, and 8 segments broken down in 45 degrees. That was the obvious part, and although they believed this to be a 360-degree view of the sky (8 x 45 =360), what the disc actually meant was still a mystery.
The picture to the left is one of the better preserved segments of the disc, and the experts considered this to be a flight plan belonging to a civilization who had visited earth but were now planning to return home to their planet.
But, after reading Sitchin’s book and studying the pictures of the disc, I came up with a different interpretation.
I’m a seer, and I’ve been studying astrology and astronomy intensely since 2008. My opinion of this segment is that it represents the portion of our zodiac known as Sagittarius.
Sagittarius, which according to our zodiac is a 30-degree segment of the sky, contains in it, three constellations. The first is Ophiuchus, the second is Sagitta, and the third is Ara, the alter of Noah.
Sagitta is the small constellation in the center, and Sagitta is known as the Arrow. That’s where the arrow comes from that associated with Sagittarius. It’s misleading, but modern astrology doesn’t tell us that the arrow actually comes from Sagitta, and that’s important to know.
It’s important because the three constellations contained in Sagittarius can be connected to the three constellations in Gemini. When the two signs (Sagittarius/Gemini Fire/Air Intellect/Emotion) are connected, their energy is brought into balance and they become one, and this, although it’s not revealed to everyone, is the goal of astrology.
When you connect the Arrow of Sagitta, which is the center of Sagittarius, to the center portion of Gemini, it connects to the center constellation of Orion, but more specifically, it connects perfectly with the star Rigel.
Rigel is the star of the left foot of Orion, The Hunter. According to Wikipedia, the earliest recording of Rigel was in 1521 AD! That mean the Babylonians were aware of Orion and the stars contained within it thousands of years before modern astronomers discovered it.
I don’t want to get off track, but this proves, humans knew way more about the sky thousands of years ago then we did in 1500 AD.
The picture on the left was taken from Wikipedia. It’s a picture of the Constellation of Orion and the stars contained within it. You can see Rigel at the bottom, but more importantly, if you look at the disc pictured above and at the segment directly across from what I’ve called Sagittarius, you’ll notice the opposite segment looks like Orion!
Now, I believe this evidence undeniable, which means that at least two segments of the Babylonian disc can be identified, Sagittarius and Gemini. Let’s not forget this important fact. Because modern astrology divides the sky into twelve 30-degree segments and the Babylonian Disc divides the sky into eight 45-degree segments, there’s going to be an overlap. The Sagittarius portion of the disc would then contain an additional 15-degrees of the sky, and thus, more of the neighboring constellations.
Below, are two pictures. One picture is from Sitchin’s book and the other is from an astrology book in my personal collection.
In those pictures, you’ll see I further connected the mysterious segment to Sagittarius through text.
If you look at the text in Sitchin’s book, at the end of the paragraph it says, “He who sees, or seeing.” On the right, I found the dominant keywords for Sagittarius is, I see.
There’s no doubt, that I’ve identified two segments of this disc, and I’m going to continue studying this disc to see what else I can figure out.
You’re going to laugh, but the motivation to get busy with study came from two signs given by God.
One morning I was sitting in my bed, and I looked at the mirror reflection of myself and I noticed the sun’s rays through my curtains made a strange arrow on my wall.
The when I got up and went to my kitchen, I looked out of the door and saw what I interpreted to be the astrological sign of Gemini.
I’m going to begin this post with the last two sentences of the article I just posted.
And, from that book, I gained insight and clarification to what it is I’ve been so obsessed about. That, I will share in the next post. That book was written by Cal Garrison, and the title is, The Weiser Field Guide to Ascension.
In this article, I used direct content from that book, which I will cite and place in quotes, and I’ve written my own commentary. This is the easiest way to explain what’s really going on.
What’s Going On? Why Do I Feel So Connected?
“The Earth is a rotating body that spins, along with the moon and the other planets in the solar system, and our sun. The sun, in its turn, spins around the galactic center in an orbit that, from an earthly perspective, appears to move in reverse at a rate of one degree every seventy-two years. If you multiply seventy-two times three-hundred-and-sixty degrees, it comes out to 25,920, or approximately twenty-six thousand years; that’s about how long it takes the sun to make one trip around the galaxy.
For one half of that cycle, the entire solar system is close enough to the galactic center to be bathed in the light that streams out of the heart of creation. During the other half of the journey, we spend about thirteen-thousand years circling through the darkness of what many refer to as the galactic night. This process of moving in and out of the light is formally known as the Grand Cycle and it has been going on since the beginning of time.
At the point in the Grand Cycle where we begin to shift out of darkness, everything in creation experiences an awakening or an uplifting in consciousness. This begins well before we actually cross the divide that marks the end of the old cycle and the beginning of the new one. This awakening process is not instantaneous; it happens slowly over a long period of time, but it is always a precursor to what, from both an astronomical and an astrological perspective, is referred to as the Great Shift of the Ages.”

In the picture above, we see a heliocentric model with the sun in the center. Encircling the sun is the Earth. The Earth is shown in four different locations to show the axial tilt and side facing the sun at the times of the spring and autumn equinoxes and the winter and summer solstices, or more popularly known as the first day of spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Outside of the Earth, we see another circle representing the zodiac. Outside of the zodiac, you can see a year at the intervals, boundaries, or cusps of the zodiac signs. In the paragraph above, we mentioned the Grand Cycle, a period of 25, 920 years, or roughly 26,000 years. If you look at the cusp between Aquarius and Pisces, you’ll see two years, 2100 AD and 23,820 BC. That means this current Grand Cycle began on the Autumn Equinox in 23,820 BC between Aquarius and Pisces. 2100 AD, which is seventy-seven years from now, marks the end of the old cycle and the beginning of the new one. If you add 23,820 and 2100, the answer is 25,920, the amount of time in a Grand Cycle.
Now, you can see the importance of this time we’re living in right now. We’re in the process of starting a new Grand Cycle. Also, you can see how important that cusp or border between Pisces and Aquarius is. It’s the official marker of time, it’s the alpha and the omega, and the beginning and the end.
Since the zodiac is being used to measure time, the picture above reveals the years or time periods within the Grand Cycle. They’re known as astrological ages. This current grand cycle began in 23,820 BC on the cusp in between Aquarius and Pisces. So, it began in Aquarius. The first astrological age was the age of Aquarius and it lasted from 23,820 BC to 21,660 BC. Remember, the years are getting lower in value because the BC years counted down to 1 BC, and then we jumped to 1 AD. I don’t believe there was actually a year zero. When you subtract 21,660 from 23,820 the answer is 2,160, which indicates the length of the astrological age. Each astrological age, which is represented by a zodiac sign, lasts approximately 2,160 years. If you multiply 2,160 years times 12 signs, the answer is 25,920. The length of the Great year.
“Approximately thirteen thousand years ago, at the time of the Great Flood, or what in the esoteric and Indigenous traditions is associated with the fall of Atlantis, we entered the Dark half of the Grand Cycle. From an astronomical perspective, at that time our solar system was prescessing, or moving backward, through the zodiac across the Virgo-Leo boundary. The next leg of this circuit would take us through the constellations Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, and Pisces. Spending approximately twenty-one hundred years in each sign, it would be thirteen millennia before we entered the Age of Aquarius, emerging from darkness to begin the light half of a new twenty-six-thousand-year cycle. The Piscean Age began right around the time Christ was born.”
Source: The Weiser Field Guide to Ascension, Cal Garrison, Pg. 28.
The picture above shows the beginning of the Piscean Age in 60 BC. That is our current Age, and it ends in 2100 AD, which is also the end of the current Grand Cycle. Before I get ahead of myself, I want to go back to what Garrison just said because there’s a lot of stuff that’s tied into this. Garrison just said, approximately thirteen-thousand years ago, when the Galactic Night, or the dark half of this Grand Cycle began, two things occurred, which could actually be the same event, Noah’s Flood, and the fall of Atlantis. These events occurred in 10,860 BC on the boundary point between Virgo and Leo. That boundary point is exactly opposite of the boundary between Pisces and Aquarius, which is where time began. Astrologically speaking, we now have an important axial point to reference, and it’s the boundaries between Aquarius and Pisces, and the boundaries between Virgo and Leo.
Before, I mentioned, there’s a of stuff that’s tied into this, and you see how quickly we just jumped from the celebrations of the beginning and ending of the Grand Cycle, to astrological ages, to the Piscean Age and the birth of Christ, and now Noah’s Flood and the fall of Atlantis. This can get even further off course with the mention of Atlantis because Atlantis brings us back to the mysteries of Egypt, Thoth, The Giza Plateau, the Great Pyramid, and the Sphinx. We go from celebrating the current time to suddenly, wondering what we missed and wondering what the real truth is concerning the events that happened in our ancient past, and once you start wondering, the rabbit hole opens up quicker than I don’t know what.
At this point, I’m going to answer the second question featured in the title, “Why am I Involved?” Without getting into the minute details, a path of spirituality and self-discovery opened up for me around the time of my Saturn return, which was around 2009. I was six years out of college, and I guess you could say I was having my awakening or rise in consciousness. I’ve been steady on that path ever since, and over the years, the universe has revealed some wonderful stuff to me. Earlier this year, I guess during the summer that just passed (2023), my eyes were finally opened to a secret sitting in my own birth chart that I’ve been analyzing and looking at since 2009.
After fourteen years, I realized my Nodal Axis runs across the boundaries that were mentioned above. My South Node is located on the 29th degree of Aquarius in the 8th house, and my North Node is located on the 29th degree of Leo in the 2nd house. I almost fell off my chair! Not only is my Nodal Axis aligned in this manner, but I have the planet Mercury, which is the Roman equivalent of Hermes from the Greek Pantheon, and Thoth from ancient Egypt, on the zero degree of Pisces between Pisces and Aquarius! Thoth is believed to be from Atlantis. He is the one who was responsible for preserving the ancient wisdom teachings and the information concerning the incarnations of souls into human bodies. A picture of my birth chart is below.
In the chart, you can see my nodal axis. You can see how my North Node, Star Regulus, and a Solar eclipse all share the 29th degree of Leo. The ancients called Regulus the prince or the little king, and of course we know it’s the heart of the Lion (Leo). Not only is my nodal axis aligned in that location, but it’s aligned properly according to the movement of time. When we reached that cusp in between Virgo and Leo, the Dark half of the Grand Cycle began, which also means, as far as time goes, it’s an ascension point because time is now moving back up towards the top where it began in Aquarius according to Sitchin’s picture. That also means, according to the movement of time, my descending node in between Pisces and Aquarius is situated accordingly.
If you look at Sitchin’s picture of where time began, it would be ticking or moving downward through the signs until it hit the dark half in between Virgo and Leo.
Part of Christ’s mission here when he arrived back in the Age of Pisces, was to seed humanity with the genetic codes necessary for ascension. Those codes began to light up in the body and blood of humans leading up to this time. The reason why all this is so important is because the interior of the human body must change for us to survive through the light half of the Grand Cycle. When they say people are waking up and having an awakening, from a spiritual perspective, these people are remembering their light bodies, the bodily vehicle used during the first 13,000 years of this cycle.
No one is talking about this on the nightly news, and today, the culture is designed to pull you away from this information and distract you. It is your responsibility to learn this. Personally, I feel like something important is on the line here. Salvation!
From everything I’ve read over the last fifteen years, I believe there’s an opportunity for a quick return or rebirth during the Light Half of the Grand Cycle, which officially commences in 77 years, with full memory of life you just lived.
Good evening. The energy right now is absolutely electric with the full moon and Halloween coming up. Tonight’s full moon is in the astrological sign, Taurus, and to be honest, the entire chart is dominated by feminine energy at the moment. Chiron is in Aries, and that’s the only fire sign represented.
With all the planets and luminaries in either earth or water signs the energy is grounded and sensual. When it comes to earth signs, which Taurus is, the universe is opening the door for happiness. Flexibility is absolutely necessary.
When it comes to water signs, the universe is opening the door for a greater sense of fulfillment. Balance with a clear sense of reality is absolutely necessary. Don’t fall into the trap of escapism. Like a bull, it’s time to face this time head on!
So, right now, the full moon in Taurus is on the 6th degree in the 12th house. The 12th house is the most mysterious house in the chart, and it does have a reputation for being “bad.” It is the last house in the chart, and it’s a very spiritual place. Associated with the 12th house are places of confinement, like prisons, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers.
The good or bad thing about the 12th house is that it’s the place where we receive our due. When you put good energy out, when you’re humble, and when you’re helpful you’ll probably have good coming to you. If you’ve been a nasty asshole, a cheater, inconsiderate, and disrespectful, then that’s what you’ll get back. The law of cause and effect is on blast right now.
As far as the energy of the Moon goes, I would like you to keep in mind the overall energy of the chart, which is feminine. That means the energy is receptive, and that’s going to be important. Since the phase of the Moon is full, that means we’re in a time of revelation-we have a lot of information coming our way as this current Moon cycle is now culminating. Be patient and listen.
Taurus is the sign, and Taurus is fixed earth. The hints we’re getting from Taurus is dependability, reliability, and trustworthiness. That means show up, show up on time and consistently, and put your best foot forward. Taurus is quiet and affectionate and he can be quite resistant to change, but that often translates to persistence, which can be a good quality.
The Moon is in conjunction with Jupiter, and for better or worse, Jupiter is going expand and provide abundance. The Moon is in one hell of a situation right now, it’s opposite mars and mercury, and that’s extremely stressful energy. It’s also squared with Pluto and the Midheaven. Remember, feminine energy. Be patient and listen. Now, you see why that’s so important and why I keep repeating it. A Moon in the 12th house with all negative aspects isn’t a very good situation, but the good thing is this conjunction with Jupiter because Jupiter is in trine with Venus, so let’s start there.
We have love coming from Venus in Virgo in the 5th House. Being well organized and exercising self-control when it comes to short-term pleasures is a great way to win over this love, and the Moon is going to need it now. The trouble is this square with Pluto.
Pluto is the God of encountering emotions, and from what I can see, there’s an emotional attachment involving 9th house issues. Journeys, international traveling, and higher education are 9th house issues, and I feel like the problem here is money. There’s so much you want to do and there’s so many places you’d like to go, but the karma right now involves money. A lack of money is putting your life on hold and preventing you from doing what you want.
Capricorn is the sign of prudence. Be careful about the choices you make now, because you might regret them later.
Money is important, we need it to play the game of life, and I’m not going to downplay the importance of it, but what I am going to tell you is that money prevents you from seeing your true identity. Sometimes the universe puts us in these emotionally charged situations without money to see what kind of person emerges. Are you going to rob people and steal from stores?
We’re being tested right now, and before I told you-dependability, reliability, and trustworthiness. Be patient and listen. Nothing lasts forever, and I do believe good times and wonderful opportunities are ahead. If you can hold on a little bit longer, you’ll be so glad you did.
With all these planets in earth and water signs it will force the elements to merge. Earth and water will make mud, and you’ll rise up through the mud unscathed just like the lotus.
I used to say “Happy Birthday Season,” but I don’t anymore because everyone started copying me. Now, I say, Happy Birthday to everyone who was born with their natal Sun in Scorpio.
As of this morning, 8:19 eastern time, the Sun is on the 1st degree, Mercury in on the 5th, and Mars is on the 9th degree, all in Scorpio.
Scorpio is fixed water and natives of this sign are born with a sense of purpose and destiny. Passionate, emotional, persistent, intense and unyielding are words that best describe our Scorpio friends.
Good evening beloved, and welcome to this edition of Moon Scope. This article was only going to be about the triple conjunction I saw in Libra about 30 minutes ago, but then I realized this was the night of the new, so, I decided to interpret everything together.
The interesting thing is that when I looked at the current alignment at 5:10 PM east coast time, I saw the Moon and the Sun almost occupied the same degree and Mercury wasn’t far behind, and they all happened to be in Libra and Libra was home is the seventh house. And, if that wasn’t enough, tonight is the new moon as well.
Sometimes we feel anxious, or we feel this unexplainable sense of urgency and we have no answer for it, but after some time passes, we realize that our intuition and inner power is pushing us towards something we need or should be doing.
At this point, from reading the Moon Scopes here on N.B., you guys are aware that the moon represents the subconscious mind-the part of our brains that store information for later dates. The subconscious is stimulated by symbols and shapes (among other things), and when we notice these things in our environment, all this knowledge and all these ideas we never knew we had or were concerned with, start pushing forward into the everyday part of the brain, which is ruled by Mercury.
Mercury represents the awakened mind, the part of our brains we use everyday for thinking and making decisions. Mercury is also the planet, or spirit of communication and commerce. Mercury is quick, and he is the God of borders and boundaries, divination, and luck.
The Sun, we know represents us and our inner will power. It represents the spot, the source, and the location of our ultimate happiness and success in the chart.
So, what does this conjunction mean?
Well, we have a new moon cycle beginning tonight in Libra, so we seem to keep having this repeating theme for an opportunity to begin anew once we have the balance to do so. The Sun will willfully push all those subconscious ideas and information you’ve been unaware of and storing to the surface now, and Mercury will take over from there.
The energy from this conjunction will manifest in the 7th House, so whatever is causing that urgency or anxiousness will have to do will contracts, partnerships-including marriages, and open enemies (competition).
It could be that you’re getting older and your friends and family members are wondering if you’re ever going to get married or have children. Maybe, you’ve been wanting to and now, you’re starting to feel that push from within to start making it happen. It could be a move to a new location, or a contract is waiting for your signature.
When it comes to open enemies in the seventh house, these aren’t people that are necessarily looking to kick your ass. They could be people you’re competing with for a job, or it could be another company that does what your company does.
When it comes to people standing in your way of success, which is what I’m dealing with now, you have to be patient and smart, and we’re lucky because all three planets and this new moon are in an air sign. Air signs embody the cunning, creative, and intelligent ways of dealing with these people and solving our problems. It’s hard when you got people above you that don’t want to let you in or give you a chance.
Sometimes, a move is required. This means a change of job, or moving to a new physical place. If the people in your current surroundings aren’t supporting what you’re trying to do, it might be worth considering a move to new place.
And, this is urgent. Don’t be afraid to operate outside the boundaries of what everyone considers normal or logical. In order to let the magic of life unfold, you have think outside the box and be a mold breaker.
This is something I wanted to share with my audience. Right now, I find myself in a particular situation, one so familiar. Last week, I had $19 to my name, I was falling behind on bills, and I hadn’t had a full time job since July. I’m in danger of loosing everything, and it caused me to go into deep contemplation. I’ve been praying, meditating, and asking the Gods and Goddesses for guidance and answers.
I woke up to the fact that this is something that keeps repeating. I just went through this, well, it was almost 12 years ago now, but it seems like yesterday. And I just said to myself, “What the hell, my 40s are a repeat of my 20s.”
During my equinox ceremony, I turned over the top 4 cards off of a regular 52-card deck. The deck was shuffled well, so I was shocked to see that I drew 3 10s and a 4. I was so shocked that I drew 3 10s, that I didn’t even realize October 4th was coming up soon.
While I was asleep on the 4th of October, I had a dream, and I heard a voice say, “Jupiter Cycle.” I woke up immediately, wrote down Jupiter Cycle, and I went back to sleep. When I woke up it was around 7:30 AM, and it was October 4th.
Here’s what came to me that day.
Jupiter’s orbital cycle is roughly 12 years, that means Jupiter spends approximately 1 year in each zodiac sign. So, I started with my birth date, and I worked all the way up to 2024 charting Jupiter’s transit through the signs.
Right now, or that day, Jupiter was on the 14th degree of Taurus. In my birth chart, Jupiter is on the 7th degree of Virgo. The target area, or the area in focus that seemed to bring the most problems for me was when Jupiter passes through Aries and Taurus. Interestingly enough, Aries and Taurus are at the top of my chart. My MC, or midheaven is on the 17th degree Aries, and my 10th house is from that degree to the 24th degree of Taurus.
My placements in that area are Eris (Goddess of Strife and Discord) on the 15th degree of Aries, Ceres (Goddess of Sacred Law, Fertility, and Grain) on the 19th degree of Aries, and then Sedna on the 5th degree, Chiron on the 9th degree, and Vesta on the 10th degree all in Taurus.
Jupiter’s transit through this area, Aries and Taurus, began in 1987 for me. I began 2nd grade in September of that year, and one morning after my mother dropped me off at school, I was punched in my temple by a 7th grader. A very traumatic experience indeed, and Jupiter was in Aries at that time. In 1988, when Jupiter was in Taurus, we moved to a nicer neighborhood in a new town and changed schools. So, this is where it all began, and we can see the beginnings of cause and effect. Something happens and a response follows.
Next was 1999 and 2000. I just finished my first year of college in 1999, but in January of 2000, when Jupiter was in Taurus, I was in a horrific car accident. I was unconscious and needed to be cut out of my car. The people who saved me don’t even understand how I survived. That’s when my addiction to pain medication began.
Next was 2011 and 2012. In 2011, when Jupiter was in Aries, my girlfriend cheated on me, I moved out of her house, I was on unemployment, I claimed bankruptcy, lost all my money, and my vehicle was repossessed. In 2012, when Jupiter was in Taurus, I moved to Pennsylvania and began taking a bus to work.
The current transit is now, 2023 and 2024, and it’s starting all over again.
The first thing I want to say about this was that I asked to be shown what was going on, and I was. I didn’t realize this current period of strife actually took root when I was 7 years old, and unbeknownst to me, I’ve been stuck in this Jupiter cycle for my entire life.
The second thing is that we can no longer underestimate the position of Eris in our birth charts. Eris, the Goddess of discord and strife is quite powerful and he placement is definitely an indicator of possible hard times. Eris has an orbital period of 559 years.
The third thing is that because of my placements in Taurus in the 10th house, Chiron, Vesta, and Sedna, I can see that there’s definitely some type of healing that needs to take place. The 10th house deals with our careers and our reputations and standing with the public. So, the healing has to do with the shadow self and the inner child.
How people see me? That’s a 10th House issue, and one of my Chiron wounds involves the healing of that child, me! That scared little 2nd grader, only 7 years old, who was violently punched in the side of the head by a much older boy in front of all his classmates.
Jupiter is supposed to be the God of abundance, good fortune, and prosperity, and I thought for sure when he got to Taurus, the sign ruling the 2nd house of money and possessions, who would bring tons of money and possessions during that time, but he hasn’t. Jupiter’s transit through Aries and Taurus breaks me down to nothing and takes everything from me and he has been doing that sine 1987!
So, where do I go from here? I guess I’m supposed to heal before I start accumulating money. So, that’s where I’ll begin.
One thing I’m really happy about is that I was finally able to identify this cycle because even though Jupiter is in Virgo in my birth chart, his cycle as it corresponds to events taking place in my life, actually begins when he gets to Aries. Now that I’ve identified rock bottom, there’s only one way to go. Up!
How ironic is this. In the recent Moon Scope articles, I’ve been talking about this amazing fresh start we’re all in for, and I found mine.
Apparently, it’s very rare. It has been known as the Finger of God, or the Finger of Fate, and in astrology circles, we call it a Yod. A Yod looks like an isosceles triangle, and it’s formed by three points, or the placements of three planets.
The Yod is what I noticed second. It was really the sextile between Venus and Mars that I was looking at first, so, let’s start with Venus and Mars.
When two planets are 60 degrees apart, the aspect they form is called a sextile. A sextile between Venus and Mars means that both planets are in perfect harmony. And, this is good because Mars is in Libra in the 11th House. Libra is the sign of balance and harmony, and with Mars there we have this energy that’s calling for an active pursuit or an aggressive approach to bringing balance and harmony into our lives.
This is almost like saying we definitely need this right now, and it’s way over due. Mars is giving us the green light or the go ahead to go after whatever is going to bring stability to our lives. And, because the planet and sign are both in the 11th House, we know the future is on the line. This is about getting active so that you’re in the right places to meet the right people-the type of people who can make your dreams and wishes become a reality.
How beautiful it is as well that Mars is in sextile with Venus, because Venus, the planet of love is giving her blessings. She is saying she understands the aggressive action of Mars, and she knows that it’s out of love that he’s doing what needs to be done.
Venus in Leo blends this love energy with the passionate fires of emotion. Venus is calling for the spotlight, and to be the center of attention. She asking that we pursue creative endeavors and building our lives around what truly makes us happy. In the 9th House, there’s definitely travel involved, maybe to a foreign nation. There could also be some type spiritual pursuit or long journey involved. Sometimes, for growth, it’s absolutely necessary for us to step outside of our comforts zones. It’s okay to be noticed. It’s okay for people to see you.
So, this is what’s going on at the base of this triangle, or Yod. Mars and Venus connect to none other than, Neptune in Pisces in the 4th House at the top, and wow! This is major energy here that I feel is calling for a religious retreat, or a spiritual journey almost at the level of a pilgrimage. Wow.
The 4th House is the house governing home, and the 9th House is long journeys and traveling, so, there are two ways of looking at this. I’m seeing either the need to leave the home, to venture out and go after what you need to bring harmony and balance to your home and life, or, this might be the power to have this experience at home.
It could be something involving philosophical pursuits or studying that leads to an almost enlightening experience or connection to one’s higher self. Sometimes we think the 9th House automatically means we have to travel physically, but long journeys could also be spiritual in nature. It could be someone’s journey through graduate school, or maybe a project you’ve been working on for a long time that’s finally starting to unfold or blossom.
As always, the energy is neutral. How you decided to use it determines weather or not it’s perceived as good, but then again, who is anyone to judge us? Follow your heart if it’s possible.
Now, Mars and Venus are in sextile, and because they form this Yod, they’re also both in aspect with Neptune. Venus and Mars are in Quincunx with Neptune. That’s an aspect that’s formed when two planets are 150 degrees apart. There is potential here, and the keyword is expansion.
