Oct 27--Nov 10, 2008

Scorpio, the magnetic vortex of undeniable feeling, this year with heavy power getting down to the bottom of things.

At the Scorpio new moon on Tuesday October 28th at 4:14pm, heart and soul align in magnetic intensity: sensitivity, sexuality, spirituality. On Wednesday, heart meets activating expression there, blending with deep mind in vulnerable feeling (moon with Mars in Scorpio 3:17pm Pacific time, trine Uranus in Pisces 6:01pm). At this time of intensified emotion, we don't get the benefits of wisdom unless we accept our vulnerability. Thursday and Friday, heart gets down to the warm spirit at the bottom of things, for Halloween (moon in Sagittarius), as action blends with deep mind in feeling (Mars trine Uranus in water signs 1:32pm). Deep receptivity is completing months of internalizing in visionary awareness (Neptune ends retrograde in Aquarius 11:39pm Saturday, November 1).

Heart meets heavy power in the passion at the low ebb of our seasonal cycle late Saturday night (moon in Sagittarius meets Pluto 1:41am Sunday). We wake up in the primal power of earthy realism Sunday morning (moon into Capricorn), and begin the new week Monday the 3rd rebounding with energized constructiveness in a time of peak feeling (sun in Scorpio, moon in Capricorn). This is the alignment for Election Day, Tuesday: soul magnetized with emotional intensity, heart grounded in practical realism.

2008 is a year of historic power shifting, with energized creativity and, after November 27, heavy transformation moving into the concrete expression of deep nature (12-year-cycle Jupiter and 248-year cycle Pluto into Capricorn), with the centering influence guiding us toward a truly fruitful outcome (30-year-cycle Saturn in Virgo). In fact, grounding in fruitful practicality is now energetically charged with wisdom in tender feeling (Saturn in Virgo opposite Uranus in Pisces 5:33am Tuesday November 4). In a world of upheaval, the practical solution requires comfort with tender sensitivity. A good time for America, and all of us, to come to grips with where we really are and how to move forward from here.

Wednesday the 5th, we wake up with heart leading the way into enlightened mind, charged with emotional intensity, meeting dreams in visionary awareness (moon in Aquarius, square sun in Scorpio 8:03pm, meets Neptune, now moving forward in Aquarius, 10:24am Thursday). Saturday, heart joins wisdom in vulnerability (moon in Pisces meets Uranus 1:40pm), emerging with the passion of spring spirit Sunday morning (into Aries 9:26am). Soul in emotional intensity reaches peak support from wisdom in vulnerability Monday the 10th (sun in Scorpio trine Uranus in Pisces 1:21pm).

In a time of historic empowerment for deep nature, we are all going through alignment in the truth of our core feelings.
