Full Moon in Taurus – 2009 Scorpio Cycle

The full moon in Taurus will occur shortly before midnight on December 1 this year. Sometimes astrologers get a little wacky around the full moon, and start speaking as if it’s the “beginning” of a cycle, projecting the next month forward from the full moon. I know the full moon is pretty and captures our imagination more than the new moon, which we can’t even see, but this is a mistake. I know astrology is not seen as Scientific in the West and it seems like everything can be a matter of opinion, but astronomical realities are what they are.

The full moon is the halfway point of the new moon cycle. It shows a releasing, not a growing period. You can relate the monthly moon cycle (commencing from the new moon, when it’s dark) to a lifetime. It is born, grows, reaches its peak power and vitality. From there it wanes and dies so that the next cycle can be born.

When we understand astrology in a metaphysical way, this is exactly what happens, 12 times per year. The truth is, each person is a culmination of all 12 astrology signs (and all the planets, etc.) The obsession with “your sign”, etc. is one of the things an astrologer tries to balance when they do an astrology reading. Stated more simply, we all have the energy of all 12 signs falling somewhere in our consciousness. Our obsessions and preferences and identity through the ego is what we see in the astrology chart by the planets, houses and signs.

In Vedic energetics each sign is a different limb of the Kala purusha. Each month a certain part of that limb and comes to life. In medical astrology signs are well understood to rule different parts of the body. Scorpio rules the genitals, the most vulnerable and exposed part of who we are.

The fear of being naked and exploited is the deeper fear of Scorpio.

Midlife Crisis
This full moon in Taurus is the halfway point, the midlife, of the Scorpio 2009 cycle. Fifteen days ago, the sun and moon were together in Scorpio. The moon was dark. From that darkness the Scorpio lesson of 2009 was born. When Sun and Moon (spirit and mind) meet at that same point, the lifecycle begins – just like when sperm and egg meet.

So, the most psychologically vitalized part of any cycle is the full moon, as the moon represents our psychology and the need to balance our own identity (Sun) with our connection to others. The Scorpio cycle each year is a time when we look to strengthen our vulnerabilities and dig deeply into our own psychological weaknesses. But if we are not careful, we also do battle with others over their weaknesses and the perceived insults and hurts that we feel around them.

Scorpio is easily the most emotionally restless of the astrology signs and we all have it somewhere within us, whether we have planets in that sign or not. Providing contrast to that emotional restlessness and turmoil is the stability of Taurus – the most solid and stable of the astrology signs.

At the halfway point in the Scorpio cycle we connect with stability, structure and the need to balance the constants emotional thrill and excitement seen in Scorpio. Also, as being ruled by Mars, Scorpio can be numb (tamasic) to the pain they cause themselves and others as they take on life’s challenges.

Taurus is where we enjoy what we have, rather than worry about losing it. It is where we grow and protect those things we have and love, rather than analyze them or look for their flaws and weaknesses. As being ruled by Venus, Taurus is sensitive and aware of the feelings of others, not destroying things and being careful. Taurus is where the moon is exalted and Scorpio is where the moon is debilitated.

The Next Two Weeks
This full moon is mainly supported by a Jupiter trinal aspect – and an opposition from Venus in Scorpio.

Traditional teachings and teachers are able to support us, but there may be a tendency toward dogmatism and looking to the past for solutions rather than looking toward the future. Also, it may be hard to stay hopeful right now with this debilitated Jupiter aspected by a debilitated Mars (the ruler of Scorpio).

Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is in the Nakshatra Anuradha which is related to friendship and reaching out to our friends. Underneath it all, Scorpio is a sign that places a lot of importance on friendship and loyalty. Scorpio natives will work hard on a friendship with you, but you usually have to be willing to do battle with them. Divine friendship is a key to releasing the fears of the Scorpio cycle.

As was said, each of us is a culmination of all 12 astrology signs. We each have Scorpio somewhere within us. The loyal and protective friend is a great place for the Scorpio energy in each of us to take wing. A friend is genuinely concerned about our well-being. A friend has more detachment than a lover or an intimate other would have. “God as the Divine Friend” is the key to Venus’ Nakshatra Deity, called “Mitra”.

Think of your higher self as the friend you can call anytime of the day or night. That friend would never judge you or turn you down and they would lend a sympathetic ear to all your troubles. They would be concerned with providing comfort and calming you down in the midst of some panic or imagined terror. Of course, your friends and (most importantly) you BEING A FRIEND – to others is also key.

This is a very powerful lesson of this full moon – the beginning of the waning phase of the Scorpio cycle. This waning phase – for the next two weeks – shows the need to let go of negative Scorpio traits in order to master its full creative potential.

From a place of comfort, and structure (Taurus) the imagined fears of Scorpio can release, and these virtuous qualities of Scorpio can be realized: the courage and growth of the spiritual warrior – the loyal friend you can call any hour of the night – the dark Knight defending the highest truth.

The next two weeks, as the Taurus Full Moon wanes and the Scorpio cycle releases, traditional teachings and teachers may help, but be careful of dogma and fears of the old paradigm interrupting the work of the moment.

Now is a good time to revisit what the Nodes actually are. Astronomically, they are the points in space where the orbits of the Earth Sun and Moon intersect. When these three bodies line up it creates an eclipse. That’s when we see the Nodes. Yet, the Nodes are always there. Meaning, the intersecting points of the Sun, Moon and Earth are always moving through space affecting certain signs and planets at any given time.

In Vedic astrology, the Nodes are as important as any other planets. Even though they don’t have a body, and they are just shadows, their influence is as important as the other physical planets that reflected the sun’s light.

The Nodes are portals into our past and future lives. The Sun is our soul – the Moon is our mind — the Earth is our body. Body mind and soul lining up at the exact same time brings enormous potential — this is why eclipses are so powerful.

The Sage Parashara Declares:
“The North node is the advancing army. The South node is the occupying army”. The North node is the territory the soul is trying to conquer in this lifetime. The South node is the territory the soul has conquered in recent lifetimes.

Have you ever noticed that everyone you meet is “a little crazy and unbalanced” in some way? (hopefully they are just “a little crazy” – some are certified “nuts”) Well, the part of each person that is a little crazy and unbalanced in some way is shown astrologically by the north and south nodes. These are the parts of ourselves that feel unbalanced, because they are not of this Earth. They are deep, revolutionary, spiritual forces within us. They are incredibly powerful yet can be disturbing at the same time. They are symbolized by a serpent. That serpent can bite you, or its venom can be a powerful elixir.

I don’t know how many astrology readings I have had where I spend 90% of the time talking about the Nodes. Everyone has the nodes somewhere in their chart — in certain signs, in certain houses, and associating with certain planets. As a very spiritually oriented Vedic astrologer, I spend a lot of time discussing nodal affects with my clients. They are some of the most powerful forces in the astrological chart – because they amplify whatever they are associating with – pushing toward their highest spiritual goal.

From November 2006 until May of 2008 we had the South node joined Saturn by transit – in Leo. This transit was very powerful in focusing us on the true source of power and commitment within. It was during this time globally that many “Kings” became dethroned. This includes presidents such as Bush and Blair – but also other Kings – such as those in sport, whose misdeeds brought them down. Two Kings of baseball, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens – A King of football, Michael Vick – a Queen of track and field, Marion Jones – Many former homerun kings in baseball also became tainted by steroid scandals.

More recently, and since the November elections, we have seen at least three planets with the North node in Capricorn almost continuously. Capricorn is a sign of seriousness, determination and fear. It shows where we are ready to make a commitment toward something long-term – both for prosperity and protection. It is no wonder so many are worried about their finances, with Jupiter debilitated in Capricorn and joined the North node. Since January 27 Mars has also been in Capricorn, which rescues this placement with courage and strength. As I have been advising, now is not the time to be consumed by worry, it is a time to act courageously and with a commitment aligned with your inspirations.

In addition, Mercury is also in Capricorn now, joined Mars and Jupiter, adding skill, communication, flexibility and humor into the mix. Mercury is the most auspicious planet for actually manifesting things as he allows us to focus on the right details to put things together.

In fact, the nature of the North node – joined an exalted planet – is also very powerful right now. The North node gives us a certain visionary quality, our inner genius can emerge. There are many opportunities to make money now if you are inventive, creative and look for a way to uplift and support others and advance causes bigger than yourself.

Those humanitarian ideals are also especially supported by the sun in Aquarius now, exchanging with Saturn. Also, exalted Venus in Pisces is orienting our mind toward teaching and esoteric subjects. Personally, as someone who keeps his eyes open toward business trends I’ve seen many Internet entrepreneurs doing very well in these economic times. All of this is shown by what I have described above.

On Sunday, the Sun entered sidereal Sagittarius, the sign of the archer. This sign is ruled by Jupiter, expressing himself in his external, masculine temperament. When the sun goes into Sagittarius it illuminates the path of activating higher teachings and spirituality in our life. The keyword with the sun is “illumination”. Wherever the sun is transiting, that area of life is “lit up” by the nature of the sun. Just like when the sun rises, suddenly we can see where we’re going. There is enormous promise when the sun goes through Sagittarius each year. It is the opportunity for us to purify and deepen our teachings. But before we can purify, first we must be able to see the darkness. No one goes out in the middle of the night to weed the garden. They wait for the sun to come up so they can make sure to pull up weeds, not the plants themselves.

Between now and January 15, when the sun goes into Capricorn, there’s a great opportunity for us to illuminate those darker corners of our spiritual psyche, and actually do something about it actively. These are the traits of Sagittarius. Connecting to teachers, teachings and spiritual practices that give us an experience of our true nature is supported. In many ways, it is quite appropriate that our holiday season falls with the sun going through sidereal Sagittarius. Amidst all of the clutter and hubbub surrounding the holidays, underneath it all there is a lot of spiritual beauty. This time of year is actually a celebration of the solstice, and the days finally getting longer.

In addition to the sun entering Sagittarius, Mars will also enter Sagittarius on December 18. Both Mars and the sun will be in Sagittarius for more than three weeks, adding a very active and courageous approach to the lessons I mentioned above. However, the nature of Mars is to be destructive. He is a Tamasic planet, one that destroys weakness. At best, a Sun/Mars conjunction will have these two fiery planets working in tandem with each other. The sun enters the house, illuminates the darkness and then Mars destroys the weakness, because now we can see it. This process just happened with the sun and Mars in Scorpio. However, there is also the possibility that rather than destroying “our weakness”, Mars takes it upon himself to destroy “other People’s weaknesses” – though arguing and conflict. This is the unfortunate and typical nature of Mars, not because Mars is “bad”, but because we tend to lack patience and maturity. Mars is the energy that shows us acting destructively through impatience and immaturity. This tendency is exacerbated now as Mars is still quite combust. From a place of weakness (our own mental weakness) we *argue with others* over our principles, rather than put them into practice ourselves. We must be very careful not to make a mistake of arguing about our principles rather than practicing them for the next three weeks. Sagittarius is a very candid and frank section of the zodiac. Jupiter is a benevolent planet, but he is more interested in clearly delineating the truth and inspiring us toward it. A person who has strong opinions but not a lot of mental strength can justify doing battle over those strong opinions when Mars goes through Sagittarius, the sign on our active philosophies.

Have you noticed this week, suddenly people are battling over their principles a lot more than they were last week. This is because the sun just entered Sagittarius, as was said, this battling nature will likely get worse once Mars enters. So, be alert.

Ask yourself:
Are you actually putting your principles into practice through your actions or just defending them to others / arguing over them?
Are you walking the walk or just talking the talk?

One thing to realize, once you start feeling anger welling up in you because someone is saying things that are stepping on your “sacred cows”, Mars is about to come out and defend your principles verbally. Be very careful. Make sure the argument is worth having. (are any of them actually worth it,.. BTW?) Make sure that expenditure of energy is actually worth it. Do you have another choice with that energy? Are you actually embodying the teachings you are about to defend? Because you see, the willingness to suffer for your principles in a verbal conflict, is also a willingness to endure physical and emotional discomfort *yourself* in order to grow spiritually – a choice you also face in that moment. Because you’re uncomfortable with what’s being said, and the other person is obviously “wrong” you can justify the anger/violence/mental suffering you are feeling by inflicting onto the other person.

However, realizing yourself as the true source and the solution to your discomfort, Mars also gives the mental strength and courage to internalize the heat of that anger toward the truth, not vindication or revenge – toward a more spiritual goal. This inner heat and internalization is called “Tapas” in yoga. It is what compels serious spiritual seekers to deprive themselves of sleep, deprive themselves of physical comforts like tasty food or sex in order to get more spiritual energy, clarity and insight, etc.

It is also the strength to deprive *ourselves* of the short-term satisfaction and adrenaline rush thrill of telling another person to go to hell because of what they said. As much as we may not like to admit this about ourselves, we feel good and fulfilled when we argue and defend our principles. We love to talk about our little victories and battles.

This capacity for discipline and to sacrifice winning the battle for winning the War (against our real enemy – ignorance) is also the energy of Mars, but a higher vibration.

I have not done a lot of research in midpoints, but to me the concept seems to be based on sound astrological principles, especially if they are reinforced by other phenomena. I especially like the concept of midpoints because it refers to positions in absolute space. I especially like the idea of midpoints if planets that are in aspect to each other – and in a tight degree of orb.

Currently, we have such a situation in the sky. Jupiter and Saturn are in a very tight trinal aspect with each other. As this trine perfects, Mars is moving right into the midpoint between Jupiter and Saturn.

Using the Sidereal zodiac, Jupiter will be at 22° and 50 seconds of Sagittarius and Saturn will be at 24° and 46 seconds of Leo on Tuesday, October 28. The midpoint would be approximately 23° and 40 seconds of Libra. Mars hits this exact midpoint between Jupiter and Saturn on October 28-exactly 1 week before the US election.

When we consider the planets involved, and what they represent in the election, (Saturn in Leo to be John McCain – Jupiter and Sagittarius the Obama figure) it gets me to thinking that this Mars transit could be the trigger for some unexpected, perhaps even violent event that suddenly alters the course of the election. This is especially easy to predict given that after Mars triggers this midpoint, he will then square Neptune retrograde – a transit that perfects to the exact degree on election Day itself. The Neptune/Mars square could show the confusing aftermath that results.

On the day of the election Mars will be in an exact square to retrograde Neptune. Also Uranus will be in an exact opposition to Saturn.

EEK!

Since the nodes move backwards, I am of the feeling that it is the Rahu end of the node, the North node, that is driving the engine of karma right now. This means there is a new activation of karmic energy coming into the earth plane. Of course, the reason we have new cycles is to get rid of the old. Let’s examine this a little further.

In the most reliable US chart I have seen, there is a Sagittarius rising sign – using the sidereal zodiac. This places Rahu in the second house by transit (Sidereal Zodiac) — the House of wealth and economics. The second house is also related to security, values and our value systems. It is these value systems that give us stability in life and are ultimately our most valuable resource – both individually and culturally. This second house is opposite the eighth house of insecurity, chaos and the things we cannot control. The eighth house represents the dramatic upheavals that force us to clarify and stabilize our value systems (2nd house) and ultimately lead to our highest life lessons (9th house – the results of the eighth house).

I see this dynamic playing out with the current economic crisis and the impending change of leadership in our country. I’ve written quite extensively lately about the aspect between Jupiter and Saturn and how Jupiter represents the Democratic candidate for president and the wave of hope he is riding. Mr. Obama typifies the Jupiter in Sagittarius archetype. The peaceful warrior with a clear vision of the future inspiring the masses. The Republican candidate, Mr. McCain is clearly shown by Saturn in Leo. He is the established authoritative presence, Saturn personified as an old man trying to hang onto the throne of power, the sign of Leo – and for the most part keep the same policies and structures in place. His vice presidential nominee was a fascinating choice. I see it as his attempt to infuse some of the “Jupiter in Sagittarius” energy into his own campaign. And it worked, for a while.

For little more perspective let’s consider this most recent  Saturn transit we are in. At the end of 1979 Saturn entered sidereal Virgo for the first time. During the election season of 1980, Ronald Reagan introduced the concept of “trickle down economics”. At the time, his competitor in the Republican primaries, George Bush Sr, called that economic theory “voodoo economics”. During that campaign season, Saturn was at almost the exact same degree as it is right now in the sky.

Of course, once George Bush was plucked to be Ronald Reagan’s running mate, Republican opposition to this economic theory ended — for the next 12 years. This next 12 years saw an exploding debt, an enormous amount of defense spending and deregulation. These practices led to the S&L crisis of the late 80s and an exploding national debt.

In the 90s, eight years of Democratic, responsible government regulation, brought the debt under control and exploded jobs and opportunities.

Eight years later, after a return to the “trickle-down/voodoo” economics of the past we are facing a horrific economic situation.

For the most part, 20 of the last 28 years have been under Republican leadership and economic guidance. This coincides with the “Saturn in sidereal Virgo” ingress that started at the end of 79 – with Ronald Reagan’s policies – and will end when Saturn leaves sidereal Leo in September of 2009.

The reason we are feeling this so heavily now is because of this Kala Sarpa yoga, (all the planets between the nodes) draped across the 2/8 axis of the US chart — the axis of security and insecurity and the need to re-clarify our value systems. This Kala Sarpa yoga is being initiated by the North node, showing a radical awakening in the cycle of karma and to re-clarification of our values.

I am trying to be neutral politically about this these issues, but when viewed astrologically it seems quite clear there is a referendum is being made about one of the major parties’ economic policies.

Both Jupiter and Saturn are planets of long-term destiny. Jupiter gives optimism and hope, Saturn gives determined effort towards our goals. Both of these things need to be working in harmony with each other if we are to have long-term success. Saturn gives us the determination and Jupiter gives us the hope to overcome those obstacles and also the uplifting and inspired vision.

Between now and early November Jupiter and Saturn will be in this trinal arrangement. Any and all endeavors that you can start or prepare for now will be blessed events.

If you have been working hard toward certain long-term goals this year, as I have been encouraging at different times, you may find this period to be especially fruitful. It may be the culmination of many smaller tasks that you had planned in advance.

It is interesting that our elections in the United States will take place during this Jupiter/Saturn trine. Obama definitely represents Jupiter and Saturn by McCain.

Jupiter is the planet / universal force that brings these qualities to the Earth plane. A great teacher or great teachings remove darkness and allow us to sink into the depth of our truthful Self. Much of this revolves around expanding our personal philosophies and aligning with a higher purpose. As such, Jupiter rules this expansive, optimistic and hopeful nature. He rules the abstract mind that conceives of something big within us. Human beings all feel the need to expand and grow toward something big. That large, expansive nature is Jupiter. This is why Jupiter also is related to wealth.

Money in our hands is related to Mercury and Venus (we’ll discuss that some other time). But the concept of “wealth”, is an abstraction – like a dream. It is a means of expansion and growth. In many ways we are either pursuing wealth or truth/God. In this way, both are abstractions.

Jupiter is also well known as the planet who brings children. Ponder the nature of children and you will quickly realize they are also our greatest teachers. Not just because they grow up to be smarter than we are, but because the way we behave around children is much different than the way we behave around each other. Suddenly when we are around children we watch our language, we are more tolerant, we are more patient and forgiving and many other desirable traits. Think of how great it would be if we treated each other this way all the time. In fact, each of us is a child underneath it all and we would be well served to remember that. We all appreciate tolerance, kindness and patience. We all have something to teach each other and learn from each other. A dignified Jupiter in someone’s birth chart will show a person who has these traits.

Myth and Rolling With the Jupiter Effect into Tomorrow

Jupiter is in Sagittarius now, according to the Sidereal zodiac, the zodiac used in Vedic astrology. In Vedic astrology Sagittarius is called “Dhanus” – Bow. It is said to be the bow of Lord Indra – the king of the gods. This bow is actually the rainbow – and places Lord Indra on a horse with his bow pointed upward to the heavens. Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so he is very strong now. The planets travel around the zodiac and occupy each other’s houses and signs. When the planet is in its own sign it is like you in your own house. You are strong, confident and powerful when you are in your own domain.

When Jupiter is in Sagittarius as he is now, the higher qualities mentioned above manifest through us very easily. We become quite philosophical, optimistic and hopeful. The recent political campaign of Barack Obama is straight out of the “Jupiter in Sagittarius” textbook. John McCain is straight out of the “Saturn in Leo” textbook (Saturn is an old man and Leo is the sign of the government and landed, aristocratic power). This is why our current political campaign is so extreme. Both of these placements are occurring simultaneously.

Jupiter had been retrograde for several months. When a planet is retrograde it appears to be moving backwards in the sky from our vantage point on Earth. This makes its energy more of an internal factor and we lack confidence moving forward with it externally. Yet how interesting that since Jupiter turned direct on September 8, it is the Republicans who have hijacked the theme of hope with this young, energetic newcomer, Sarah Palin.

Politics aside, until early December there are great opportunities to deepen your personal philosophies and spiritual connection. Optimism, hope will be higher than usual, especially in the realm of spirituality. The world outside can always get us down, but there something deeper and more eternal than the temporary dramas we see playing out in the world. Deepen your connection to teachers, teachings between now and early December especially.

Monday, September 8, 2008. The moon is in Sagittarius, joined Jupiter. It is in the Nakshatra of Mula – ruled by the South node. The work Mula means “root”. Today is a day where you can get to the root cause of your problems. You can apply a lot of focus and scrutiny to the things in life that are holding you back today. This probing leads to a deeper hope and optimism later. Be careful of unnecessary destruction that comes from an air of invincibility.

Tuesday, September 9, 2008. The moon is in the Nakshatra of Purva Ashada today – ruled by Venus. The moon is still joined Jupiter and in the sign of Sagittarius. This Nakshatra is related to the ocean, water and the devotion to love that nourishes the flame of knowledge, consciousness and growth. We are all a product of what we love the most. Today is a good day to remind yourself of that. Focusing on and destroying your root problems was yesterday’s work, connecting your strengths with your heart is today’s work.

Wednesday, September 10, 2008. The moon is in the Nakshatra of Uttara  Ashada today – ruled by the Sun. The Deities here are the Vishwa Devas, the Universal gods. This is where the things we love the most infuse a confident and inspired course to the truth of who we truly are and what we truly want. By understanding our duty (dharma), the value of time (kala), and other universal principles that becomes clear. Yesterday’s devotion to truth is the fuel for today’s illumination.
