Henry Seltzer – Saturday morning’s New Moon in late Scorpio has many features in keeping with the dark sign of its origin. In particular there is a nearly precise square between Mars and Pluto, with Mercury also involved in the aspect configuration, bringing a great deal of conscious attention to the Lord of Death and Rebirth, just as the Sun prepares to leave his sign for the sunnier skies of Sagittarius.
Another powerful factor here is a renewed energizing of Uranus, which is exactly aspected by the Sun and Moon, continuing the recent emphasis that we have been experiencing of the Trickster planet. Surprises, and unexpected insights also, continue to abound. Hopefully there will be a modicum of light amongst the heat arising from this keen astrological moment.
