Mon Nov 05- Sun Nov 11

It's a kNEW MooN week but we have to get through the darkest days of the cycle to get to it on Friday. We're in the deep, dark and mysterious cycle of Scorpio. The journey to the lower realms where our hopes, fears and fantasies reside together. Now is the time to dive into the depths of being and see what's developing there. Mercury moves back into Scorpio for a redo and should really scrape some secrets off the walls.

We start the week Monday with the moon in Libra and Venus square Pluto, the beginning of the week has this 'clean up' diplomacy. Those issues that have to be dealt with like a dangling scab. You just have to rip it off sometimes. Done with a sense of healing, not just to discard it, with full awareness of where the wound came from, the healing process it took and now the scar reminder. How we re-member is more powerful then the actual facts over time psychologist tell us. So the first time we tell ourselves the story it should be true to the bone and simple so even a child could understand.

We drift with the Moon still in Libra Tuesday. It's a vision of all sides, one that can even be disorienting as to where the 'me' fits into the big picture. The great the thing about fractal geometry is that it gives us this micro/macro tool. The trick is realizing it's always in motion. If it gets stuck we can ex or implode, either is messy. On the waning or dark side of the lunar cycle it's an opportunity to clear the boards and prepare for the New Moon. You can't expect the evasive, 'closure', from everyone but if you examine issues and relationships clearly and deeply you've done what you can to bring them to a level of honesty and clarity for the New Moon to work on.

Wednesday the moon still floats through Libra most of the day and in the evening we move into Scorpio. Now we are in the darkest part of the cycle. In the sign of Scorpio we have the elevator door open to the deepest parts of ourselves. It's why Scorpio always gets hit with the stereotyped sexy tag. Sexuality is a deep and mysterious part of us. But wait don't order yet, you can go even deeper into the drives that are beneath sexuality. It's a depth that only the willing and brave will go to. These drives are instinct deep and yet each of us has the ability to be proactive and not just reactive in these arenas of our being. There is space this evening for some meditation and mediation.

Thursday the Moon is in Scorpio and the new moon is coming tomorrow. General cleaning is always in order but 'cleansing' is more then just running the vacuum around the house. Some spritz rose water, replace flowers in vases and light incense. The flip is that it's not to get the attention of the divine as much as it is to get your attention. The divine is, well, the divine, pure loving attention. It's getting the deep and sometimes hidden core of our being to resonate and come to the surface that we're striving for.

Venus moves into Libra! It's her sign and could be a harbinger of some peaceful actions for the next few weeks. Or at least the overtures of them. There are plenty of opportunities in our world to infuse with this principle. Unless you're a secretary of state you may not be able to throw your weight around Iraq, Darfur or Pakistan. We can flow that energy out into our intimate circle. Raise the style of interaction to a higher level and bring the goal of harmony back to the forefront. In this cycle you could seek some peace with those you may not have had the best interactions with for a long time. Often these patterns just get set and not updated. We have to accept what part we played in it and then offer that to the other parties. No expectations!! We can't expect closure that would be to easy, in the path to 'know thyself' we don't get neat packages often and it's enough to know, other people don't have to know it with you. To resolve conflict is often to see the true root, observed and realized the conflict dissolves. Even if the other parties keep yanking on the string if you let it go it ceases to interest them also.

Mercury is fresh in Scorpio and retracing steps since the retrograde so it's a familiar route. Today sextiling Pluto and the words of war could be exposed for faulty facts behind them. On the micro scale you want to take harsh speech with a grain of salt and try to not blast some of your own inappropriate verbal spice out there. The transit of Mercury through Scorpio will take us through the end of the month. There will be some particularly nasty and salacious headlines and revelations so make sure you have freed the skeletons in the closet that want out. If they get out on their own it's messy.

Friday is the kNEW MooN. Spelling it that way may be cheesy but I'm always trying to be reminded that new and knew are so close together. Like an old newspaper is news to someone who hasn't read it. Parts of ourselves that have been with us our whole life are new as soon as we get to them, often late in life. Most don't embark on the path of 'knowing thyself truly'. The more worn path is to stay with what is known and just stack the bricks of experience on top. To dig under actions, thoughts and emotions, finding their motivation is to free ourselves from patterns and to realize that we have the reins in our hands to move about life free of patterns, responsive to the winds and waves of existence.

The Scorpio New Moon is most powerful and deep, as we've stated. The call to truth must reach into the canyons of lies. With Mercury following behind this New Moon in Scorpio there will be many 'hidden truths' exposed. Not so different then lies, when the headlines blare with 'revelations' first we all feel lied to. That shock some stay in and look away. Some families or couples will allow a lie to literally 'lay around' unsaid, unacknowledged, unknown. Like loss there are stages of dealing with a lie. To get past the shock, the self doubt of why we let ourselves be lied to and then to come out the other side to the only reality that will ever apply; what now?

As individuals when we pull the vision down to the landscape of our lives we can first be brave and have some tough love for the one in the mirror. Then and only then do we have the amount of compassion it takes to use that clean vision on the outside world. To just scream and point out the lies is stopping short, just being the cackling crows pointing at someone else but really just pointing away from themselves. The truth is best served as an offering not an accusation. Only then can all that know it get to the evolution of what now.

Saturday afternoon and through Sunday the moon is in Sagittarius. Fresh off the new moon in Scorpio and its revelations we have a mind for horizons. We want to take journey, start projects; the bubbles of possibility are popping. This sign and lunar phase are a time to listen to what wanderlust you have, whether mental, physical or emotional. It's all spiritual just flowing through different parts of your human prism.

You could just take notes and by the end of the weekend discover that you had 3 countries, 4 degrees to be earned and 6 different structures to build. It's so easy to say "I want to do that, I want to go there" Most came up in the mind with an, "I have to do this!" a full-scale yearning. To be able on Sunday evening to go over all these journey desires is to see the path they all emanate from. Yes it's that same old voyage fresh every instant, "know thyself, and know the world". Right now it seems critical to try a riff off that, "Change yourself, change the world."
