Lynn Hayes: Chiron & Neptune

Have you been over to Lynn Hayes' sight lately?


She has a really nice little write up worth you checking out. Here's a snippet, go this link for the whole piece.

Neptune and Chiron both change direction in a few days after traveling retrograde since earlier this year, which means their (apparent) motion has slowed to a virtual standstill as they prepare to move forward again. These two have been tied together since early in 2009, and although the exact conjunction was complete in 2010, since then the two have been within three degrees of each other. When the Soul Healer (Chiron) and the Soul Teacher (Neptune) get together, you know there is some serious internal work to be done and we are likely to find that to be true over the next week or so when both planets change their apparent direction (planets don’t really move backwards, but because we observe the movement of the planets from earth they sometimes appear to change direction).Read more: http://blog.beliefnet.com/astrologicalmusings/#ixzz1dDaDMS8O

Of AnitaHill, Virginia Thomas, Clarence & Herman

This whole sexual harrassment business with Herman Cain has brought out his defenders. Even Cain has indicated it reminds him of the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings from 20 years ago. What I think is curious is that a year ago, we revisited those volatile days when Judge Thomas went through the rigors of supreme court nomination process. On October 9, 2010, Virginia Thomas called Anita Hill's office at Brandeis University and asked her for an apology.

And now here we are 13 months later and we are revisiting the topic again.

I indicated in the Scorpio New Moon article that the asteroid Juno was conjuncting the Sun/Moon and influencing this cycle. Juno is the lead female asteroid in astrology, the wife of Jove she took a lot of stuff but she is also very protective and has a legendary temper.

During the original hearings in '91 Juno was conjunct Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn. And if you watched those hearings it was all Capricorn. There was also a shocking element that these conversations were even going on for a Supreme Court Justice. Uranus in Capricorn was breaking down perceptions of government. And of course the smoke and mirrors planet Neptune was in the mix, which we learned 10 years later when David Brock in his book, Blinded by the Right spoke of how he deliberately lied to discredit Anita Hill 1990's.

Last year when Virginia Thomas wanted her apology, Juno was in Leo. Her, "Isn't it time" tone spoke of Leo pride.

And now, with Juno in Scorpio we see Mr. Cain trying to dismiss this whole thing like a cop moving people away from a car wreck. "Nothing to see here. Keep it moving." Perhaps that will work. I will be curious to see if Cain's wife who is normally relunctant to participate in his political goings on will show up now.

All very curious.

Taurus Full Moon: November 10

November 10, 3:16pm est

The Full Moon in Taurus puts us all on notice, to get our ‘practical on’. We will be looking for the practical application to any situation. Certainly problems need to be handled from a real nuts and bolts position. But perhaps there are things in our life that we have not characterized as an issue but on this full moon it just does not feel right. It is not necessarily wrong but we will look at it with big, old, ‘grounded’ sensibility. “Hmm, is this worth my time?,” “Is this worth my money?” or “What does this actually cost me?” What are we getting out of situations? Or if we have got a little something going on that is starting to grow, how can we focus on it and help it further? This is one of THE full moons to get your money together. Where do you spend money? Where do you not spend money? And more to the point, “Why or why not?” Is this the best choice? Or who do you spend your time with? Do you share the same values? If that is working for you –great. If not, what changes can you make? Also where do you need stick-to-it-ness? Taurus will ground you.

Of course, the Sun in Scorpio continues to push us to jettison stuff that is no longer working and we should expect that the full moon will illuminate more things that need to be dumped. There is a snarky aspect between the Sun and Pluto which will bring out egos but the knife is sharp in Scorpio and Pluto is cold so we will be making cuts. Both personally and globally. Expect some hubris in the news and cold business practices to get everyone’s attention.
Interestingly there is a mystical cloud around the full moon because a few hours before the full moon, Neptune turns direct. Neptune spends half the year in retrograde and when it turns direct a tiny piece of the veil lifts. In this case, at late degree Aquarius we are once again figuring out who is our group. What tribe do we belong? Are we truly valuing the people that surround us? What is our future together? Does it have legs? Are we looking for something more that speaks to our long term goals and future even if we don’t know them exactly? Remember Neptune knows things without knowing why it knows things. You may do things that you don’t know why you do them, but if it feels practical and right and you should trust those feelings. It could serve you much later.
Be gentle with yourself.

Neptune Turns Direct

Neptune will be turning direct this cycle on November 9 at 29 degrees of Aquarius. For the last five months our insights and sensitive nature have been on high alert. Like a radar beacon, we have been feeling beeps and pulses from our higher source. Guiding us, leading us, perhaps scolding us. We have been feeling something.

Once it crossed back into Aquarius (summer) for the final time we have been doubling down with our groups, social circles, internet, computers and like minded individuals. No surprise to any astrologer that the tea party emerged during Neptune in Aquarius and no surprise now on the final months of Neptune in Aquarius, Occupy Wall Street has arrived.

But, what will happen to both groups after Neptune moves out of Aquarius the sign of social causes and moves into Pisces in Feb 2012 and will stay there until 2026. That is a long time of Pisces and here's the kicker, Neptune rules Pisces so he is very comfortable in his home sign. Pisces is the sign of humanitarian causes. One could say that social causes are humanitarian causes but you have to look closely. Aquarius is very intellectual and the theory of causes can motivate. But once Neptune moves into Pisces our psyches will shift and we'll really need to put the human back in humanitarian. Faces will be put to stories and we'll want to help the face, not the cause.

Pisces is also the sign of music, art, spiritual, mystical and delusional. The last time Neptune was here was in the late 1840’s, spiritual movements began to shape up. The Mormon church which was started earlier began to spread during Neptune's time in Pisces and it was then Brigham Young was made Governor of Utah Terroitory. Students in art institutions in Paris were finding their way, by the time Neptune would move into Aries those art students would turn into Monet, Renoir, Gaugin and the other greats of the Impressionist movement. What seeds will be planted during this passage of Neptune? What art group will begin to shape togehter? Will the delusional take leadership roles? Will we let them? Will reasonable people begin wearing tin foil hats? Or will our psychic abilities go up the nth degree? Will Gold be discovered again like it was in 1848? Who knows, but between now and February 2 we will work out the final actions of Neptune in Aquarius. It is interesting that Steve Jobs would die in these final degrees of Neptune in Aquarius. Is there anything more Aquarius than Apple?

Week Ahead

11/6: Moon moves into Aries and gets into it with Uranus then Pluto. If your mood starts to go hunting for a fight instead, try to focus on new breakthroughs and new horizons.

11/7: Mars/Neptune: Actions come from a deep place. Perhaps spiritual perhaps some unprocessed part of the unconscious.

11/9: Neptune turns direct (see other post)

11/10: Full Moon (see other post)

11/10: Mars in Virgo : http://astrology.about.com/od/mars/p/MarsVirgo.htm

Warren Zevon & Pluto & Uranus

I have spoken a lot about Pluto in Capricorn and the upcoming Uranus in Aries/Pluto square we are beginning to process. As my mind goes to the energy I know we will have a lot of breakthroughs that will later serve but before we get to the good we are going to have a tumultuous time. And I have to say I can't help but think of Warren Zevon. In particular one of his songs. Zevon was an Aquarius and as a tribe they are smart as whip. But I don't think he would have guessed how prescient his song would be for our current time. I just wish he were still alive because if he was, the evening news could end each night with a livee performance by him of "Lawyers, Guns and Money."


In his earthy absence, I offer you this for your enjoyment.

MF Global

Let's assume you are super busy and barely have time for anything that is not on your to do list. And in that climate you certainly don't have time to follow lead stories about financial institutions. Sure, totally get it. I feel the same.

Well, with that in mind, let me just give you a couple highlights from Reuters about MF Global and what happened to them this week:

Jon Corzine resignation follows Monday bankruptcy filing

* Corzine hires prominent white-collar defense lawyer

* Conflicting reports about missing customer funds

* JPMorgan says doesn't know if it holds missing money


Any of that look good for the people with investments in this fund?
Nope. And no one can seem to find 600 million which appears to be misplaced.

As indicated this Scorpio Lunar cycle would have a lot of emphasis on money and in particular co-mingled funds. I gotta say, Jupiter's opposition on the cycle does bring out truth, big truth, maybe they'll find the funds but still it all a mess.

And just for your score cards, Jon Corzine the former governor of NJ and the head of MF Global is a Capricorn with Moon in Aries. Pluto is beginning the slow build towards his sun which means he'll be in the weeds for awhile.
