“The Moon rules the subconscious and the Moon’s Nodes have a great influence where subconscious patterns are concerned. The South Node has to do with the subconscious motivations of the past. The North Node represents the new conscious patterns to be unfolded.When we cling to the past and refuse to go into the future or into the new and untried experiences, we retard our growth and development.The North Node represents the work that needs to be done, the new to be developed.The South Node is the line of least resistance and operates with ease because it has become a repetitive pattern.” Isabel Hickey

It’s wise to take note of events which have occurred and are occuring around this time as they may likely be shining the light on your path forward. The North Node which is now at 28 Aquarius is making a harmonious connection with the Sun at 28 degrees of Libra.

The Sun is also opposite Chiron, the asteroid of the Wounded Healer and personal evolution. Blockages and blind spots related to the path forward can be seen more clearly now and do not need to hinder progress.

“I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain-and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.” Robert Frost

I have two friends here who have an antique shop in town. They carry some metaphysical supplies, offer iridology readings and advice from a naturopath. I go down and join them there often to visit and do Tarot and Astrology readings in their cosy attic room.

One time when I was down there we were talking and my friend said, “We have just decided at this point in our lives, that from now on. we are going to be a light.”

We are in a bit of a testy time this week – with Venus square Pluto exact in the wee hours of Tuesday but in effect throughout the week. This can be a time when memories can surface of painful events in terms of love (of all kinds) and loss. It can also be a time when feelings of scarcity can arise – around money and other things.

April Elliot Kent describes it this way,”With Venus retrograde some of these troubles may go way back – even to your youth. Isn’t iinteresting how we can work with a particular problem for decades without really ‘growing up’ around it’This is a series of aspects that offers an opportunity to do some growth by digging deep into it and allowing yourself to be very preoccupied by it.”

The Sun moves into Scorpio on Friday -moving into a time when concerns can turn to the mysterious and deep side of things.The nights are longer and the earth turns inward.

It’s wise to remember that Scorpio is also the sign of the Phoenix who rises from the ashes. This speaks of the everpresent opportunity for spiritual and emotional evolution and rebirth.

Mercury will station retrograde on Saturday the 24th at 20 degrees of Scorpio.

The Moon is full Tuesday the 26 at 2 degrees of Taurus.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is. ” a youth holding a lighted candle.”
