Moon in Aries
|Karmically serious or difficult third| of this week remains
until it ends after midnight tonight
We are still under the rays of the Full Moon of Libra-Aries, which was exact Monday evening at 7:54p PT | 10:54p ET | 2:54a UT
One of those Eureka! moments hit me this morning as I considered an article titled "The Long Year of #MeToo." I have mentioned before that it did seem to begin exactly when Jupiter entered Scorpio in the fall of 2017. But I didn't remember the details, so I checked the following: #MeToo: A Timeline of Events from the Chicago Tribune. Sure enough, although someone coined the term in 2006, the Tribune starts the current breakout of the movement on precisely October 5, 2017, when the NYTimes published an expose of Harvey Weinstein, which then became a continuing story with many chapters. Then on October 15, Actress Alyssa Milano reignites "Me Too" with the tweet "If you've been sexually harassed or assaulted write 'me too' as a reply to this tweet," and it quickly turned into a movement. (says the Tribune).
Eureka! Flashing light bulb above the head of Cosmic, or is it comic, Piper! Because he immediately checked his faithful ephemeris (owned since the 1990s, frayed and almost falling apart) and found--prepare yourself, this is epochal!--that Jupiter entered Scorpio (for the first time in twelve years, its time for cycling the zodiac) on October 10, 2017! Five days before the tumultuous #MeToo tweeting campaign began! Cause and effect? The anti-astrologers say, No, mere coincidence! And yet for the past year while Jupiter has been in Scorpio--well, I don't have to say it. Endless #MeToo revelations, including the trial of Bill Cosby as just one incident which is still going on this week and perhaps near some conclusion. And, need I declare, now what seems almost the capstone of the whole thing, the Blasey-Kavanaugh dispute coming right into everyone's living room. The movement has reached right up into the Supreme Court!
Jupiter the planet is said since ancient times to be the ruler of fortunate or eminent individuals (historically mostly males), of the clergy and priests, of prominent businessmen, of judges and the judiciary. So we find that for the past year these very individuals have been accused hugely of sexual (Scorpio) impropriety. Further, on September 9 Venus entered Scorpio, and will remain there through October while stationary and retrograde. So we have two major planets in Scorpio while these sexual (Scorpio is the sign of sex and of the sex organs) revelations or accusations (take your pick) are at their peak. Scorpio can also be a sign of crisis and of death--in this case, the deaths of careers or reputations. (The female Scorpion is said sometimes to kill and eat the male after copulation, but this is said by the experts to be relatively rare. It sometimes seems symbolically appropriate.) And, on top of all this, Christine Blasey is Scorpio (or "born in November" so probably so).
Jupiter shall enter Sagittarius on November 8, not to return to Scorpio for eleven years. More about that later. Meanwhile we have more than enough to handle. Oh, as for the good side of Jupiter in Scorpio, we ought to talk about that also.
Tuesday: (First, I'm writing this on Monday and I have to say, with the moon both void-of-course and in the |difficult third| of this week, I am feeling both just as predicted--"What am I doing here anyway?" I did write the above section, and think it is good, but I may have treated a serious subject too flippantly so some will think I don't care about women and their problems with male testosterone out of control. Further, I find that I am behind on other projects and find it hard to care or get started. Void-of-course. Plus, I find in the NYTimes and elsewhere that Kavanaugh digs in his heels and also his accusers dig in their heels, yet nothing is moving or happening except just waiting for a supposed hearing. Rod Rosenstein was said this morning to be meeting with Trump today maybe to resign, or be fired, then a couple hours later the story changed--he will meet Trump on Thursday. Moon v-of-c, again, and also the |karmically difficult third| of the week. A friend who does not believe in these forecasts also seems depressed and upset for reasons I don't know. Also, the sun is square Saturn by less than two degrees. Saturn is in Capricorn, Rod Rosenstein's sun-sign. This development with him possibly losing his job could be very significant to the Mueller investigation and other matters directly affecting Trump.)
Again, Tuesday: We wish for magic powers and possibly have them if we can launch them under the aegis of the sun's square with Saturn, exact today, a very non-magical aspect demanding hard work. "A fellowship supper," Fraternity, is a pleasant degree showing that no matter how harsh people seem there is some attempt at community of spirit and human company.
A precocious person is full of the bloom of youth. Yet many feel deprived of their freedom, "A man in chains." Usually this is self-imposed bondage. Or, in a higher sense it should be one's self-enslavement to a good task one believes in, which does good to one's soul as well.
Restless and impulsive choices could lead to further complications, like bouncing down a mountainside, unless one can be aware of innovations into unlimited possibilities, "The dawn of a new day, everything changed."
People sometimes simulate others, in a joking or acting manner, avoiding responsibilities and making fun of all including themselves. There could be such moments, whether you or someone else is master of the charade. Yet still we participate in "a council of ancestors," a group conscience calling to us to uphold rich traditions which sustain everyone, each in his or her own station.
