Sagittarius New Moon over the star Antares
The Heart of Scorpio
This New Moon is really special because when it is precised on December 1st, it falls on the ascendant, or starting point, of the chart. This emphasizes its significance. The New Moon always marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle, but on the Ascendant it also brings us a New Beginning, which can be a long-term goal or a transformation of beliefs due to the energies of Sagittarius.
ANTARES is the heart of Scorpio, the center of great transformations
But not only is it significant for us, but because the New Moon is conjunct Antares, the Red Alpha star of the Scorpio constellation, which symbolizes the heart, which is special because this significant star is considered the 4th pillar of our world and the Milky Way. This is the only star that is also the pillar of the earthly and divine worlds.
Here the death of the ego takes place, all the mind structures and thought patterns that still hold us back from moving to higher levels can now be transformed and we have the opportunity to get rid of them. So to say, to cut them off from ourselves in a drastic way.
Here, in the heart of Scorpio, the alchemical transformation takes place, through which we can rise from our human, weak nature to a kind of Divine qualities.
The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice also belongs to the constellation Scorpio, when Orpheus is unable to save Eurydice from hell because he looked back at the last moment.
But for this it is necessary to examine the qualities in ourselves that pull us down, poison us or hinder our development, and to be able to sacrifice them for a higher purpose, so to speak. The altar constellation under the constellation Scorpio, as a basic principle, suggesting this.
The New Moon's governing principle, the human figure above Scorpio, is in overlap with the Ophiuchus, which shows how we can rise as humans to a higher divine quality.
The constellation Ophiuchus is a symbol of healing. Mercury, with its apparent retrograde motion, is at the foot of this constellation, in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, and has taken a supportive trine aspect to Kairon, the asteroid that represents our karmic wounds.
During Mercury Retrograde, the emphasis is always on looking inward, reflecting on the past and healing thought structures. We are now able to heal long-standing karmic wounds through self-work and spiritual solutions. This healing process also supports the process of ascension to higher worlds.
TRANSFORMATION
By leaving behind debilitating, toxic energies, we can rise to higher spiritual levels.
Mercury, which is retrograde in the sky, is being opposed by Jupiter, which is also currently retrograde. Jupiter's wisdom and higher truth also support inner processes, and while in the horns of Taurus, it is seen in line with the star Rigel of Orion, which is the star of one of Orion's legs, and encourages us to find our own spiritual path and dare to step on it, instead of trying to follow others.
Venus is moving in the Capricorn zodiac under the constellations Sagittarius and Aquila, Sagittarius gives knowledge and wisdom to Venus, and Aquila elevates our feminine qualities and emotional experiences to the Milky Way. Here, our emotionally committed or long-term, responsible relationships come into focus through Venus in Capricorn, as well as relationships where we have taken emotional responsibility.
The rise of emotional energies brought about by Venus also helps us.
The Governing Principle of the New Moon, or the Midheaven of the chart, in the sign of Libra also emphasises resolving relationships, which falls on the Virgo constellation's stepping away foot from the past, meaning that with this New Moon we can now leave behind all the things from the past that have held us back from ascending or from raising the feminine qualities or emotional experiences within us to a higher level.
I wish everyone a deep emotional transformation, renewal of feminine energies, and spiritual ascent to higher levels!
