So everyone, what broken down, unhealthy aspects of your life are you ready to release? The New Moon in Scorpio is the perfect a time to put muscle behind an intention to transform cognitive and emotional distortions, especially those that bring suffering to yourself and to others. So take a deep breath, muster up some courage, and gracefully greet this New Moon in Scorpio. This is the premier night to open your eyes to your own self-doubt, insecurities, negativities and self-delusions, and through clear comprehension, transform these negative states of mind into positive intentions for liberation, and internal and external change. Scorpio is the sign that seeks deep truth in all things.

In my part of town, the colors of the leaves are transforming from green to brilliant reds, oranges and yellows. This beautiful display suggests the illumination right before death, like an old light bulb that brightens before it goes out. When you are on the death bed, you may have a sense of clarity that previously eluded you (provided you're not on too much morphine). The urge to forgive and make amends creates an opening in the heart that makes way for a clean departure.

Jeff Jawer at stariq.com in his New Moon Report:

The intense emotional force of the Scorpio New Moon usually drives feelings deep inside to scoop up pieces of the past and re-examine them in light of current circumstances. This time, supportive trines to the Sun-Moon conjunction from active Mars and revolutionary Uranus provide powerful motivation for letting go of old wounds, uncovering hidden resources, and applying them in new and different ways. Freedom from chronic emotional pain comes by following intuition and moving forward, rather than looking back and being mired in disappointment. Mystical Neptune's square adds a spiritual dimension that increases the capacity to forgive yourself and others.

Mostly when I look at these Moon charts, my eye catches on Uranus in Pisces (or the latest position of Mars). What an uncomfortable position for Uranus -- even though there is a mutual reception with Neptune in Aquarius. A little research on Uranus in Pisces turned up a fine article by Neil Giles at astrologycom.com. In Part2 of the article Mr. Giles describes the beginnings of broadcast media:

From 1919 onwards, radio broadcasts spiralled across the world as Great Britain, the Netherlands, the US, Denmark, the Soviet Union, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and India all went to air. The commercial wireless was born and the world felt the beginnings of a hook up that would in time become a global radio network. The world could start to communicate across its own expanses. Disembodied voices could enter the living rooms of every home that could afford to make or buy a radio receiver. These voices could bring us to events we couldn't attend, or rather bring the events to us. They could excite our imagination, take us to another world, relax us, amuse us, inform and entertain us. They could also persuade us to buy. And, we didn't even have to stand up or leave home.

We, the listeners, became part of something universal (Pisces) and electrical (Uranus), a swimmer immersed in technological consciousness, part of a global network or village. This was a concept that would enter the thinking and vocabulary of later social commentators like Buckminster Fuller and Marshall McLuhan, but at the time of Uranus in Pisces, it was simply a new and unknown experience. It will be instructive for us now to see this as the inception of the global village and global economy that is the hallmark of the modern era.

We live now in a world in which every presentation and entertainment is geared to the global market, bringing us the preconditioned, prefabricated product, driven only by format and formula, devoid of originality and integrity, judged only by its appeal to the mass of global consumers. We may have cause to review the mixed benefits of the liberation and constraint of the new globalism.

Needless to say, we are presently caught up in another wireless profusion.

Returning to the more mundane and looking at the U.S. natal chart, transiting Sun/Moon - Mars - Uranus are members of a grand trine and Mars is conjunct the U.S. natal Sun. The new Moon occurs in the first house, which in a mundane figure represents --

• the body politic
• the country and its inhabitants as a whole: the people, the masses
• the prosperity and health of its people or the reverse
• the national traits and habits of the people
• the country's interior affairs
• the public consciousness and collective expression
• the psychology of the masses, their reactions and conditions
