2011 Moon Cycle 11: new Moon in Scorpio, full Moon in Taurus

Here are the Moon charts for October/November:

This cycle begins with the Sun and new Moon at 3° Scorpio and comes to fruition with the full Moon balanced against the Sun on the Taurus/Scorpio axis at 18° Taurus. This is the eleventh calendar cycle of the year. For the next year-and-a-half the new Moon with occur in one month and the full Moon in the following month; in August 2012, they will once again occur in the same month.

All things considered the emphasis this cycle is an all-or-nothing attitude, much different from last month's "let's work it out" approach.

The Moon in Scorpio accentuates intense emotions and fear of betrayal. For an excellent and fascinating description Moon in Scorpio people, take a look at Cafe Astrology's Scorpio article.

The new Moon

There is a stellium in Scorpio that includes Sun, Moon, Juno (all conjunct), Mercury and Venus. This puts all under the influence of Pluto in Capricorn. Here's an article at Alpha Life Trends with some good information about Capricornian Pluto.

When you look at the aspects depicted in the center of the chart, you can see that the Part of Fortune (at 6° Cancer) is the focus for many of the aspects. I don't talk about the Part of Fortune much because it is derived from Ascendant + Moon - Sun (AM) or Ascendant + Sun - Moon (PM). The degree & sign of the Ascendant depends on your position on Earth. Since this chart is calculated for Greenwich, England, its house positions are not usable here, since the story for Perth, Australia could be quite different from the story for New York, New York. However, that said, I can say, for some of you, that the Part of Fortune indicates an easing of current conditions in home and family.

In the past week I've come across a number of predictions about Nibiru/Planet X/Elenin for September/October of this year and for 2012. While the predicted dates appear to have passed with no discernible whole-world disasters, there's still 2012. Here's some of the info I've collected:

The U.S.

This new Moon occurs in the 12th house, conjunct the Ascendant. Because of the rulership of Pluto this suggests that hidden, perhaps subversive, elements of the American financial and political constructs may come to light during the span from the new Moon to the full.

While the Occupy Wall Street/Occupy < your location > movement is mostly non-violent (in America, at least) and seems tangential to the economic business at hand, it's possible that the ideas presented will take fire with agents not so peaceable.

The full Moon

When the Moon reaches its position at full -- opposite the sun -- it will be in Taurus and the Taurus/Scorpio axis will be activated. According to Astrodienst--

Naturally associated with the 2nd/8th house axis, the inherent conflict on this axis revolves around issues of resources and ownership, values and possessions, both personal and shared.

Mars in the last degree of Leo is part of a grand trine in the earth element that includes Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus; Mars is also in opposition to Neptune in Aquarius and Chiron in Pisces (both conjunct). While Mars is not in an earth sign, its aspect is in orb with the other members. More important, it's moving into a true trine position with Pluto and Jupiter. This grand trine speaks of a mix containing potentially creative energies (mutable), financial and political power brokers (cardinal) and prosperity with the desire to elevate or grow (fixed). The opposition to Neptune and Chiron releases the energies generated by this mix. The influence of Neptune--indicator of fraud and covert actions--is fading, because of its position in Aquarius. The influence of Chiron--the outsider and healer--is growing, but muted or working under the surface because it is retrograde.

While traversing the zodiac from its new to full position, the Moon's schedule is --

The U.S.

The full Moon this month is in the 7th house, the field of alliances and dialogs about coming to terms (attempting to begin to accept and deal with something difficult or unpleasant). The Moon is exalted in Taurus and natal ruler of this house, giving her and, by extension, women and emotive personalities great power.

In addition, the transiting Moon is conjunct natal Vesta, also in Taurus. Vesta indicates focused individuals, security systems and secret agencies (Neptune Cafe). Vesta in Taurus speaks of people who deal with investments, those who may see reality as fixed according to their perceptions or beliefs, and people who prefer stability. On the other hand, there is an element of high-mindedness that may manifest.
