Moon Scope, Triple Conjunction

October 14, 2023 Edition

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.

Transiting Libra

September 26, 2023

Astrologically, our sun has left Virgo and is now on the 3rd degree of Libra. Happy birthday to all the people out there who were born when the sun was in Libra. They say the entire personality of an individual is made up of three placements in the birth chart, the placement of the ascendant, the position of the moon, and of course, the alignment of the sun. I would agree with that, but I do think there’s more to it than the placement of those three.

Of those three, the alignment of your sun would be the most important. Our sun, as we’re told, is the only object in the solar system that gives life. Without the heat and light of the sun, life on earth would cease to exist. When I look at a birth chart, that’s something I consider.

The sun’s placement would then represent the source of will and life. In Libra, the individual should be strong morally and have a good sense of judgement. This person could feel deeply about justice and equality. Love, balance, and harmony play heavily into the personality and life of this person.

Libra is masculine air, and Libra is one of four cardinal signs. Cardinal signs by nature are action oriented. If the zodiac was a giant belt that needed gears to power it, cardinal signs would be those gears. So, when you combine that with what the sign represents, we have a personality type that strives for or seeks to provide diplomacy and balance. Libra’s are usually active, artistic, and peaceable.

Remember, Venus, the planet of love, is the ruling planet of Libra, so love and what a person perceives to be beautiful are at the core of what motivates them to do what they do. They fill their living space with objects they think are beautiful because beauty brings harmony to that space. Having said that, Libra people do have an eye for beauty, and they have good judgement weather it be something that looks nice or judgement of character.

They’re smart, and they rely on intellect. They like to balance, and they feel incomplete without their other half. Like the scale needs two sides to weight properly, Libra people need that union to feel at their best and most productive.

Happy Birthday Libra!

7th House Illuminated by Powerful Conjunction

Hello everyone!

I hope you’re all having a wonderful day. The Sun is now on the 13th degree of Virgo, which means it’s almost halfway through its transit of the Virgin. Wow, that was fast. So, Mercury, the planet of communication and travel, is also in Virgo at the moment on the 14th degree.

This alignment between the Sun and Mercury is called a conjunction, and the degrees of separation vary with astrologers, but personally, I feel like the energy of two planets combined can hold power up until about 8 degrees. With 1 degree separating Mercury and the Sun, I’d say this connection is pretty potent.

Now, because Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, is the ruling planet of Virgo, he’s home. Whenever a planet is in the sign it rules, its comfortable. I guess you could compare it to your favorite sports team playing at home versus on the road.

Both planets are in Virgo in the 7th House, and the 7th House is the area of the chart where the energies can manifest into the areas of our lives involving partnerships, marriages, contracts, and open enemies. Open enemies means those we’re familiar with, and these people are usually competitors.

Virgo is very technical and precise, so, as we begin to analyze the Sun/Mercury conjunction in this sign in the 7th House, we must focus our attention on the day to day mind. A lot of people don’t know this, but Mercury represents our everyday mind, not the subconscious mind.

There’s a huge boost coming our way involving precise communication. If you’re about to sign a contract of any type, make sure you read over all the details before signing. This could also be a lease for a rental, or any type of written agreement involving the transfer or the borrowing of goods or possessions.

For those couples who are engaged to be married, now is the perfect time to open up a conversation and discuss the details of your special day.

If you’re dating, and things are getting serious between the two of you, now is the time to speak to your partner about what you want and what you expect moving forward.

Virgo is also very analytical, industrious, and detail oriented. There could be lot’s of conversations involving details on how to be better or how to make things better or improve. If you’re on the brink of success or close to achieving personal goals, now is the time to fine tune things.

It’s definitely time to get rid of everything no longer serving a purpose and whatever is holding you back. Take this time to study the board in front of you, and gather the information you need.

Preparation and planning is the key, and when that moment arrives where you need to speak, write, compete, or make that presentation, you’ll not only be ready, but you’ll have the edge over your competition.

A conjunction between Mercury and the Sun in Virgo gives us exactly what we need to regain our edge.

The Sun and Jupiter; 72 Degrees of Friendship

July 18, 2023; 4:08 PM

Sun Quintile Jupiter

At 4:08 PM today, I saw the Sun in the 8th House on the 25th degree of Cancer ♋️ in aspect to Jupiter in the 6th House on the 12th degree of Taurus ♉️.

When Juipter is in the 6th House, there’s a big-time commitment to work. It might be the work we do for a living to earn a paycheck, or it could be the work we put into a health regimen or training routine.

Taurus is a fixed sign, and it’s a bit stubborn, but on a positive note, the bull’s singlemindedness gives it the ability to stay consistent to the task at hand.

But, with the bull’s resistance to change, we run the risk of a serious burnout. There could be health issues because of a lack of sleep or a lack of nutrition, which has a domino effect on the immune system levels.

Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and once that faucet is turned on, the water will fill that bowl until overflow occurs.

The gracious and willful sun taps his buddy on the shoulder here and says, “Hey, Jupiter, don’t forget to take a break. Don’t forget to sleep, and don’t forget about food and drink. You’re doing a fabulous job and making tremendous gains, but you’ll only go as far as healthy body allows.”

Have a great day, and thank you for visiting N.B.

9th House Hosting Sun Plus 4

The astrological 9th House is known to be a broader version of the 3rd. The energetic relationships between planets and the influence of planetary archetypes can manifest in the 9th House and be relative to long-distance travel, higher thinking, philosophy, higher education, and publishing and literary pursuits.

Right now, Taurus is taking up the majority of space in the 9th House, and there’s definitely an abundance of energy in Taurus.

There’s a conjunction with the Sun on the 26th degree and Uranus on the 19th degree. Taurus is a sign of love and beauty, it’s ruled by Venus the Goddess of love, and it’s natural home is the 2nd House of possessions.

A conjunction between the Sun and Uranus can deliver a blast of will power to a necessary awakening. Taurus energy can be lazy, and the 9th House is definitely not a place for laziness. Uranus is jolting us to awaken because there’s much to gain (possessions) from pursuits in the 9th House. It could be a sudden interest to travel somewhere , or it could be a sudden interest to study and devote oneself to sacred or philosophical texts. Possessions need not always be something tangible, the truth perhaps, can be one of the greatest possessions of all.

On the other end of the sign, we have Jupiter 0 degree, the moon 4th degree, and Mercury on the 6th degree; that’s a three planet conjunction. Jupiter is sign of expansion and abundance, the Moon represents our subconscious mind, and Mercury represents our the part of our brain we use for everyday thinking. Given the sign and house and the conjunction between Uranus and the Sun, this three-way conjunction is showing an opportunity for mental expansion, and more importantly, the discovery of something previously unknown.

The presence of Mercury indicates communication of some kind, and this could be a conversation with someone who’s in possession of information or knowledge you need. It could also be you communicating the discoveries you’ve made during quiet study or meditation.

It’s not often we see five planets in one sign, and it wont last long. The Sun and the Moon will both enter Gemini in a few days.

Harmonious and Favorable

This morning, at approximately 10:08, the 10th House Sun (9 degrees ♉️) was within 120 degrees of the 3rd House Moon (9 degrees ♍️). In astrology, when two planets are within 120 degrees of one another, we call it a trine; it’s a harmonious and favorable aspect.

Because Taurus and Virgo are both earth signs, it’s an earth trine.

The energy right now is favorable for communications and local travel. Today is Sunday, and if you have the day off from work, it’s the perfect time for shopping, visiting family and friends, or doing something you’ve been dying to do all week but haven’t had the time. Just getting out of the house and cruising through your old neighborhood might be what you need to put things into perspective.

As far as conversations go, right now, it could be extremely beneficial to speak with someone of the opposite sex, maybe your significant other. With the Moon and Sun in trine, only good things can come out of sharing information, your feelings, or your plans about your current profession.

Someone from the opposite sex might be able to provide you with an angle or a view you were previously unaware of.

I see something more in this reading.

With the Sun and Moon in trine, there’s harmony between man and woman, night and day, and all the other things represented by both luminaries. In addition, through Virgo, the Moon brings tremendous focus and attention to detail to the table. In Taurus, the Sun, which is already blessing 10th House endeavors with will power, will now because of the Bull, have staying power and the ability to settle in, get comfortable, and make a serious run.

With the placement of the Moon in the 3rd House, and the Sun in the 10th, I think this might be the perfect time to start a home-based business. I see nothing but opportunities for success and public notoriety.

You can write, start a podcast, and create a website from the comforts of your own home, and with the Sun shining in the 10th House, public recognition is sure to follow.

Open up the lines of communication and bring the discussion to the table!

Sun Transiting Aries; One Power Two Choices

So, right now, we’re at an amazing time in our current annual cycle. Spring began last week, and on the high side, the temperatures have been in the 50s and 60s! It’s great! The overall mood and vibe is totally positive and uplifting.

From an astrological standpoint, the Sun entered Aries on the first day of spring and is now six days into its transit. It’s definitely the standard and seems widely accepted that our zodiac begins on the zero point of Aries, and for the purpose of this post, I’m not going to dispute that, however, extensive research has shown me otherwise.

In fact, long ago, the Sumerians began their zodiac with Taurus. That may or may not have had something to do with the precession of the equinox, I don’t really remember – the point is that different cultures and groups throughout time established their own “zero points.”

Here we are, though, and right now, at this moment, our Sun, our greater light, and giver of life, is making its way through Aries one degree and one day at a time. The polarity of Aries is positive, the element is fire, and it’s one of four cardinal signs. Aries is ruled by the God of war, Mars, and both Mars and Aries are home in the 1st house.

This is besides the point, but I always thought the similarities between the words Mars, Ram, and War were fascinating, especially since they’re all connected to Aries.

Any who, so, red is the color of Aries, and iron is the corresponding metal.

Despite being ruled by Mars, the sign of Aries isn’t always about literally going to war. Part of the reason why for why we seem to have this connection embedded deep within our brains is because our ancient ancestors liked the timing of waging war when the Sun was entering Aries.

Aries is definitely a sign of action, but it also symbolizes the spark of creativity or creation. You see, the Ram doesn’t always have to be about the action to kill; it can be about the action to create.

The Ram symbolizes urgency, courage, and heroism, and it’s through action that its energies are best utilized. Before, I mentioned that Aries was one of four cardinal signs, and the cardinal quality gives Aries the abilities of great leadership. These are the kinds of abilities we find in leaders who are able to make a difference and create change on a global scale because they’re open to the ideals of change itself.

The element here is fire, and whenever fire is the element, we know the sign is highly emotional.

If you add cardinal fire to what the Ram already possesses, like urgency and confidence, you’ll have a tremendous power that can be used for creation or destruction in the hands of an emotional leader with the spirit of a Pioneer.

Wow!

The parts of the body that are ruled by Aries are the face and head.

The key for Aries is in the head, and if the Ram can learn from those bouts of impulsiveness, he can come back stronger, smarter, and more focused. There’s always a balance that must be learned by fire signs, which involves patience, and that’s because their polar opposites are always air signs. Air signs represent intelligence, so fire signs must find that happy medium between fire that’s focused and directed, and that wildfire that burns out of control and destroys everything around it.

At the end of the day, we are left with one power that gives us two choices; create, or destroy. What will you decide?

Happy birthday season to all the Rams out there, and a big happy birthday to my nephew, who was born on April 1, 2020.

Pluto Creates Ideal Future; but Enjoy the Moment!

Good evening. Here on the east coast of the United States it’s 8:32 PM. It’s dark outside, warm with a breeze, and the ground is covered with leaves.

It’s romantic, it’s spiritual, and it’s a sacred time of the year.

The astrological chart of the moment is showing Venus in a conjunction (4 degrees) with the Sun in Scorpio in the 5th House. Venus and the Sun are in trine with Pluto in Capricorn in the 8th House.

This is good on so many levels.

In the 8th House, we see issues concerning death and rebirth, regeneration, legacies and wills, and other peoples money and property.

In astrology, Pluto is known as the eliminator. He gets rid of anything and everything that no longer serves a purpose. Pluto is all about regeneration, he destroys in order to build back better and stronger. Pluto is also known as the detective. He likes to dig for truth and expose it for the world to see, and again, he does this for regeneration. If the truth will set us free, Pluto is going to find it and free us. He wants to destroy anything that’s holding us back.

The negative side of Pluto manifests in the form of wars, dictatorships, murder, and riots. He’s stirring up the pot. On the positive side, Pluto has the power to help us reach the highest levels and achieve major success.

Pluto’s trine to the Sun and Venus in the 5th House tells us what his purpose is here. The 5th House is about short term pleasure, and it involves art, things we pursue for the love of it, sex, drugs, and having children.

The Sun represents will power and life force, and Venus represents love and beauty. Scorpio, which is the 5th House here, is a very passionate and imaginative sign. Scorpio is emotional and intense. It’s about desire, and it’s governs both male and female genitalia.

What are you looking for? Fun? Pleasure? What you’re most passionate about?

In the 5th House, the Sun and Venus in Scorpio can lead us to the deepest darkest forms of pleasure and passion at a level most would consider forbidden or freak-like. Think about it. The life force (Sun) is combining with love (Venus) in Scorpio. It’s passionate lusty desires that touch the heart. It’s that sex that’s so dirty but feels so good. 😍

Pluto is going to eliminate anything in the 8th House that’s preventing pleasure in the 5th. In Capricorn, we see the method behind his madness. He’s not jumping right in. No way. He sees the sign, and he knows he’s dealing with complicated issues. Capricorn is going to help him approach his work step by step and little at a time.

Ground yourself. Take your time, be persistent and consistent, and the possibility to clear up an otherwise confusing 8th House will be possible. The result of all this will be a clear path for fun, pleasure, and pursuits of love.

And hopefully, when the dust settles, you’ll rise up with an awakened awareness knowing the truth about your real passions in life.

Death and rebirth aren’t always literally about dying and coming back to life, it could be, but symbolically, they represent endings and new beginnings, and that’s what this is about.

What you can expect based on the planets, signs, and houses that are involved here is definitely and ending to something. Possibly life, but hopefully not. It could be relationships, marriages, jobs, surgeries, and anything that ties you or bounds you to the other.

Weather they’re ultimately good or bad for us, endings are usually hard to deal with. We put time and effort in, and we get attached for whatever reasons. Sometimes, endings leave us in pain emotionally, physically, and mentally, but all that’s temporary and not to sound cold, but it’s apart of life.

When that storm ends and the water recedes, the new beginning will be one of gold. You will finally be free! The door will open for whatever you find pleasure in, and even though that’s only a small part of what’s in store, enjoy yourself.

In the long term (because the 5th House is opposite the 11th) there’s a rare opportunity here for you to live the life you were finally meant to live. It can be a life filled with love and beauty and passionate pursuits that satisfy your heart’s every desire.

For the rest of this weekend and the next two weeks, I want you to approach people and situations in a grounded, persistent, and consistent way. Remember, Pluto must clear the way first by resolving 8th House matters, and there’s no indication that Pluto’s negative side will manifest in your personal life, however, Pluto has tremendous power that can and will swing in the necessary direction.

Look for the truth in all matters, and investigate. You will have to go after what you want, but the luck of the trine is your side. By the 24th of November, the true meaning of Thanksgiving will be waiting for you at the table.

Entering Scorpio, Holding Hands

October 23, 2022

Good morning everyone, today is Sunday, October 23rd, and at 9:50 AM (eastern time) the Sun and Venus entered Scorpio together in the 11th House.

Sun conjunct Venus 0 degrees Scorpio/11th House

The 11th House, which is the home of Uranus and Aquarius, represents our hopes and wishes for the future. The 11th House is also the house of friendships and dreams and goals that are long-term, idealism, and vision.

Traditionally, Scorpio rules the 8th House, The house of death and regeneration, but this morning we found Scorpio occupying the 11th House.

Before I go any further, I would like to share a story about a friend of mine who was in surgery last week to have cancer removed. So far so good, she is in recovery, and waiting for further information. I couldn’t think of a better example of what’s going on right now astrologically with our current alignment between the Sun and Venus in Scorpio.

Because Scorpio rules the 8th House, but was in the 11th House this morning, this represents several things correlating to my friends situation. It’s a reminder of the harsh reality of life, which is that tomorrow is never guaranteed, and it reminds us that we have to put that harsh reality aside and continue living a fulfilling life of good quality. It reminds us that we need to visualize an ideal future for ourselves and plan for it.

The timing for her couldn’t be any better. The Sun is the life force and will of the zodiac, and Venus is the Goddess of love and beauty, who in Sumerian mythology was known as Inanna. Inanna was the Goddess of love, war, fertility, beauty, sex, divine justice. and political power.

I can’t even begin to believe this as Scorpio rules human reproductive organs, which is exactly the part of her body affected. In her birth chart, she has Chiron on the 27th degree of Taurus in the 8th House, and her natal Chiron is in trine with both her natal Sun and Venus. She has Libra rising with a 12th House Sun, and Jupiter is in Scorpio, the sign that occupies the majority of the 11th House. Jupiter is the most benevolent force and he bestows us with good luck, fortune, and expansion.

Last night I burned a candle for her and continue to pray for her recovery. 💕💕🙏

So, this morning…

Together, the Sun and Venus are holding hands as they enter Scorpio. Scorpio is a feminine water sign that’s fixed in quality. The conjunction is powerful, it’s a combination of life force, the will to live, and love in a future house. I can’t help but think of Jesus in this situation, because it was Jesus (the Sun/Son) who was said to be vibrating at the highest frequency level, which is pure love (Venus), and by doing so, was able to conquer death.

We must cast the inevitable aside and remember that life can be full of great things if we’re loving and maintain the will to live. Scorpio (reproduction/sex organs) in the 11th House, reminds us that although the act of sex is highly pleasurable, the ability to have children is one of our greatest gifts. Our children are the future, and the future we visualize for ourselves is one that not only includes them, but it’s one they’ll be carrying forward.

So, as the Sun enters Scorpio and Scorpio season commences, he does so with the Goddess of love by his side.

Both are in a stressful square with Pluto in Capricorn in the 2nd House.

What’s going on here?

Pluto is the planet of regeneration, he looks to eliminate anything and everything that’s no longer useful or preventing growth so we can have a fresh start.

The 2nd House deals with possessions, and Capricorn is reserved, prudent, and patient, and uses cunning instead of force. Capricorn is persistent and determined.

Pluto is creating tension between the Sun and Venus in the 11th House, because he wants a bright future for them. As we move forward with love and the will to live, the removal of anything that doesn’t support that ideal must go.

Sometimes we don’t have a choice, and Pluto shows no mercy when it comes to regeneration.

As we deal with the power of Pluto in the 2nd House, we are to do so with the qualities and characteristics of Capricorn; patient, cunning instead of force, and we must be determined and persistent.

When it comes to the use of intellect over force, we are blessed with a Grand Air Trine between Mars in Gemini, Mercury in Libra, and Saturn in Aquarius.

At the end of the day, we are not to worry. Pluto is tugging at life and love, but Pluto’s trine with Uranus in the 6th House of health and service reinforces that goodness and favorable outcomes are maintained at the highest levels.

The lucky numbers for Scorpio: 2 and 4 (Tomorrow is the 24th)

Lucky Scorpio Day: Tuesday

Lucky Colors: Burgundy and Crimson (Colors of Passion)

It’s an interesting time for sure! Now before I end this, I want to remind everyone that on Tuesday, which is the luckiest day for Scorpio, we have a brand-new moon cycle beginning!

Can you believe it?!?! A new moon in Scorpio that will partially eclipse the Sun.

Symbolically, death and resurrection is what’s on the menu. The universe is giving us an opportunity to start fresh like the legendary Phoenix, or the lotus flower that blossoms into something unbelievably beautiful and perfect after coming up through the harshest conditions.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and happy birthday to all the Scorpios out there!

♏🌞🧡

Astrology, Planetary Discovery, & Digging for Answers

If there’s a 10th or a 12th or a 3rd or a whatever planet missing, that if found could unlock the key to this whole mystery, then, perhaps we’re not digging deep enough.

What do I mean?

Well, if you haven’t realized it yet, every time the discovery of a new planet is announced, we coincidentally discover the comparable element.

What do I mean?

PLANET/DISCOVERY	ELEMENT/DISCOVERY
Pluto/1930	Plutonium/1940
Uranus/1781	Uranium/1789
Neptune/1846	Neptunium/1940

my table

All of these elements are radioactive, and like we found out yesterday in our post “I Might Be on to Something Here,” electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves is broadcasting from Sagittarius A near our Galactic Center.

Wouldn’t it be something if our galaxy was quite literally a cosmic dance? Radio active planets powered by radio waves.

Getting back to my point, if there’s a 12th Planet, then the keys to finding it are probably buried within our earth.

This is somewhat unrelated, but super interesting. The roots of astrology have been traced all the way back to 5,000 B.C. to 3,000 B.C. with Vishnu, the reigning god of Hinduism, the sun incarnate, and their most divine being.

The Sun has it’s element, and that’s gold. According to Wikipedia, gold was discovered in the Middle East before 6,000 BCE.

Do we dare to say astrology began with the discovery of gold?

And what about the Moon and its relationship to silver? Wikipedia said silver was discovered before 5000 B.C. So, first we dug and found gold, and our sun was brought into visibility. Then, we dug some more, and our moon was visible.

Copper is said to be the first element discovered, and copper is associated with Venus. As a matter of fact before gold and silver were found, we found copper (Venus) and lead (Saturn).

I find it amazingly interesting that Venus and Saturn are the two planets spoken about between Thoth Hermes Trismegistus and the Great Dragon when the most important secrets concerning life after death and our Galaxy were revealed. It was said that the secrets to reincarnation, or coming back with an awakened memory and full awareness of a previous life is connected to Venus. The Great Dragon said our Milky Way Galaxy was the seed ground of stars that Saturn returns souls to after death without memory. The Milky Way is a prison for souls and Saturn is the warden.
