The Crux, Libra New Moon Romance Reboot

October 4 /5 NEW MOON in Libra @ 11 degrees +@ 5:34 pm PDT/ 8:34 pm EDT. on Oct 5 12:34 am GMT

LIBRA, the 7th sign, governs most peoples’ favourite  subject relationships =LOVE, art, beauty; Marriage traditionally, all “others.”

LIBRA is a very ancient constellation. The scales of JUSTICE were the Egyptian Goddess Ma’at’s scales who weighed the heart of a deceased person against her ostrich feather. Libra is a KARMIC sign.  The Tarot Trump #8 or 11 is called JUSTICE.

Is LOVE JUST? Is it fair? You tell me.

To find the balance point is the Middle way in Buddhism, harmony, equanimity, the Fulcrum. The Full crumb.

Are you being fed your daily bread of love or are you begging for crumbs? Please sir/miss may I have some more?

Libra describes the balance of  the opposites, day/night. ying/yang. This is the entire goal balancing the duality.

Libra is ruled by the Fair planet VENUS, the Goddess Herself.

LIbra is an AIR SIGN so relationships are more mentally oriented, talk about it, communicate it, not necessarily touchy feely.

VENUS’s location at the time of this new moon shows what fuels the new thrust.

Venus is deep into Scorpio at 26+ degrees. Venus enters Sagittarius on the 7th. This rough tough love is only for a few days longer.

VENUS in SCORPIO shows us the deep, dark, sexual, secretive, feared and scorned Mount of  VENUS.

Le tentacion de Saint Antoine by Felicien Rops 1878

In Scorpio, Venus reflects LILITH,the first woman, Kali, the Black Madonna, Pele, Morrigan, the Femme Fatale.

This is the death-bringing aspect, the Crone. That is what the New moon always is.

A time of menstruation, of death of a possible new life. Clearing the way for anew cycle.

Lilith, BTW is sitting on the U.S. SUN now at 13 degrees CANCER on SIRIUS near to JUPITER.

VENUS SQUARES MARS her mate at 23 degrees LEO.

They are arm and heart wrestling. Mars in LEO is in danger of being too egotistic, aggressive, vain or all show.

I wrote oral show as a Freudian slip.

VENUS SQUARES NEPTUNE in Pisces, the HIGHER OCTAVE of Venus.  Neptune is  soul mates, higher ideal love, devotional love, not the  scorching

s & m Venus in Scorpio style of sex.

Wherever Neptune is there can be delusions, fantasies, addictions. Is it real or isn’t it?

Am I just projecting that he/she cares?

What kind of love do YOU want to create and uncreate?

LIBRA is air- the MIND- symbolized by swords in the Tarot- discernment, focus.

A new Moon in Libra offers us a new chance in relating.

This LIBRA NEW MOON has us Nailed collectively to that Grand Cardinal Cross.

SUN and Moon opposes URANUS in Aries

Square to Pluto in Capricorn  and widely square Jupiter in Cancer.

 Uranus and PLUTO were conjunct in VIRGO during 65/66 . Get your kicks on Route 66.

These two Transpersonal planets are credited with creating the 60’s revolution in culture, music, lifestyles, women’s liberation. That was the first seeding phase.NOW almost 50 years later, the two are doing this CROSSING- L-shaped square- kicking butts.

Surprise,the 60’s philosophy is  sprouting now. Sun, Moon and Jupiter are being drawn into the configuration,strengthening the impetus. 

A cross is the symbol of matter, of the four elements, structure. 

We may feel crucified now, especially many of those whose personal planets fall into alignment with the grand cardinal cross.

Raise your hands if you are feeling tangled up in blue.

I have my SATURN- karma at exactly 12 degrees of LIBRA. YES i am feeling the screws tighten. 

The North Node at 7 degrees Scorpio is also Trining Chiron in Pisces.

The highest level is to feel how Frickin’ vulnerable we really are, and cry.The energy and the enormity of the Cardinal Crux is huge.

On October 12 Jupiter will exactly Square the Sun further adding new emotional support to the heart of the matter.

That is the phrase stay in the HEART of the matter, in your HEART. 

Being nailed to the cross is the precursor for ASCENSION.

Tough testosterone,50 shades of Mars/Saturn Astrology from Tara Greene

The “ANGRY FATHER” or SKY GOD combo  between Mars and Saturn at 24 degree of Libra  is a test of the Masculine, the old macho order is  in the balance. And no duh, makes one feel very short-tempered and angtsy, it peaks August 15.

Saturn limits our Mars, actions if we haven’t played fair { LIBRA}.

Of course the Curiosity landing on MARS is about the reality { Saturn}

I’ll spin off 50 shades of variations on the men are from Mars and Capricorns  are from Saturn theme.

Mars is considered weak in Venus’s home sign, he is not macho.  Saturn is exalted in Libra. Fairness, equality, balance, peace is what Libra is all about at its highest.  But LIBRA is ruled by VENUS,so the GODDESS has the final word about relationships justice and balance.

IN the TAROT JUSTICE is the Trump associated with LIBRA.

She is originally the GODDESS MA’AT Egyptian Immortal Goddess of KARMIC JUSTICE,who weighed her ostrich feather in her scales against the heart of the deseased.

Mars is sexuality drive, libido and conjunct to Saturn  it also symbolizes older men being sexually active and athletic.

Mars rules Scorpio and of course represents  DARK SEXUALITY what used to be forbidden till 50 shades of GREY came along. With Saturn { SATAN} this is Bondage, S & M, sadism, cruel, selfish, macho concrete, Mafioso kind of sexuality. It’s mean and nasty to say the least in Saturn reality.

50 shades of Grey ,which I have not read, is insidiously making female submissiveness seem normal and sexually titillating as a backlash to Women coming into true feminine power. TSK TSK…yes of course  a woman wrote it. She’s working for the bad boys,  I say.

Women finding it sexy to be spanked like bad children by a powerful masculine is very sick and imbalanced. This Feminine wound is an ancient sore spot, that hasn’t healed and is now  being used by the media to further manipulate and disempower women. It’s in consciouness now { Pluto} in order to free women to integrate the powerlessness that has been foisted upon them by the PATRIARCHY – SATURN. Women need to regain their rightful place as GODDESSES, the Great Mother of all. Not fall deeper into the trap. No pun intended.

I am sure I am going to hear about this…

Just wait til Saturn enters SCORPIO-October 5 – future article coming- to see how the DARK SIDE and seeing reality vs illusion changes our view of the world.

another side of Mars Saturn is

The OLYMPICS

A nice energy for mutual respect between countries whose young athletes are doing Martial things like competing. There’s been some lovely photos on FB of Athletes holding up democracy slogans and joyously hugging each other for winning, showing very Libran Mars displays of mutual respect. Nice good sportsmanship.

The Difficult aspect, the conjunction is considered the HARDEST, the most potent, sounds very sexy and Mars like doesn’t it?

If you are born with a Mars/Saturn conjunction you can have enormous will power drive ambition to succeed beyond all obstacles, late maturing. It all depends on what sign Mars and Saturn are conjunct in. The most problematic would be Mars Saturn in Scorpio.My ex first husband had this aspect – secretly ploting and scheming, ruthless, selfish.

But between the two MALEFICS MARS & SATURN this is a tough test. Mars conjunct Saturn is tough testosterone.

Men are being put to the test in their relationships now. The old Saturn boys club is being overthrown. See How the POPE is doing these days.

Drunvalo Melchizedek is decrying Dec 21 2012 as the end of the Old Patriarchal order, from what I understand and Dec. 22 2012 as the REBIRTH of the FEMININE.

Who gets affected the mOST?

MARS & SATURN affects LIBRA’s MOST who are  born Oct 16 17 18  with the conjunction to your Sun at 24 degrees of Libra.

 CAPRICORN’S born January 14, 15 16  

CANCER’S born July 8 9 10 through a Square.

ARIES born April 13, 14 15 by opposition.

If you know your astrology chart and have any planets at 24 degrees LiBRA especially you will feel the test and restriction of your actions.

FIND OUT HOW THE 2 MALEFICS are affecting your CAREER  and

RELATIONSHIPS, http://www.taratarot.com/id78.html

I’ll put this question to both men and women. How balanced is your career { Saturn}  ambition vs your feeling qualities, your balance in relationships. { MARS}

Men have an inner Feminine, their Soul, the ANIMA as psychologist Carl Jung termed it, is always considered feminine. This would describe Mars in Libra. 

whether you are straight or homosexual, Saturn in Libra is anchoring, embodying, making sexual politics practical and real.

Get to know your own inner feminine, listen to your inner opposite sexed partner. They will be mirrored back to you in your outer partnerships..

The test is so that men and women can discover a new form of balanced equal whole respectful relationship,. LIBRA Is ruled by VENUS,
