☼ ✶☽ The purifying and healing power of this lunar cycle's Balsamic Virgo moon is phenomenally strong, as Lunar Dakini provides the Divine feminine's much- needed therapeutic touch in degenerate times. With dedicated care and organization, negativity can now be banished into the void from whence it came.
✶ Among four celestial bodies in Scorpio (including asteroid Pallas Athena, strategic female policy maker) the fixed Scorpio Sun conjuncts Karmic Saturn. Lessons we learn from authoritative Saturn are always serious and important; in Scorpio, the issues tend to be emotionally charged and intense. And when the Sun meets Saturn light is shed upon profound and sometimes dark and difficult subjects, such as death and inheritance, letting-go and renewal. Marking boundaries and being more disciplined and responsible may help to operate easily within a framework that transforms challenging circumstance into stabilized, workable situations. Good time to get real and tidy-up one's act.
Be ready for the New Moon at 0Sag on the 22nd, which brings enthusiasm, hope and truth to the fore…. ~~>
Happy Dakini Day! _/\_
Dedicating all love & compassion to whomever and wherever needs it... With thanks to unknown artist for Dakini &Raven

Dark Moon in Scorpio with ISON, Mercury & Saturn - Dec 1st '13
_/♥\_ ♏ ♄ ☽ ☿ ☄ ☉ ☼✶•*¨*•.¸¸✶
Dark moons are just as much times for sowing the seed as they are for
releasing and letting go of old issues and sticky problems - sending
them back to void. Because this particular balsamic Moon is conjunct the
planet of the mind, Mercury, and karmic Saturn, the planet of limitation
and endings, there’s a sense of
finality to certain difficult issues (which could have been around for
years). And as this weekend’s dark Scorpionic moon phase could trigger
profound feelings - fear, loss, hopelessness - bear in mind how even
these emotions can now serve as the means for dramatic alchemical
transformation, from base ordinary things/ideas/relationship into
treasured golden enlightenment.
It’s also worth noting that
informative Mercury, disciplined Saturn, and the sensitive Moon are with
Comet ISON! Though much is now hidden with the dark Moon, if there is
ever a story of life, death and regeneration, it is Comet ISON.
Pronounced dead and gone after its perihelion sungraze, ISON reappeared
and perhaps may even able to grow its glowing tail once again – we just
don’t know yet, as it has still yet to come into view, which it could
well do again after the forward-moving New Moon in Sagittarius Dec
2nd/3rd. Though on December 1st, early bird sky dancers will catch the
last slither of the Moon, with Mercury & Saturn in the pre-dawn sky –
and possibly the comet. This combination of planets and comet is
actually an extremely sobering stellium that once again determines the
importance of understanding the nature of reality, in order to combat
debilitating fears and doubts: that all is ultimately pure love and
bliss.
Comets always bring unknown factors from deep space
into play. And, in ISON’s case, coming from beyond magical mystical
Neptune, its dynamic transformational energy affects us all. Generally
speaking comets are not considered to be good omens, as they excite and
heat disordered conditions. However, ISON – in whatever state it is in,
is still under Sun’s beams, in the ‘crossover’sign between Scorpio &
Sagittarius sometimes called the 13th sign, Ophiuchus. This part of the
sky is attributed to the teacher of Hippocrates, the healer ‘Asklepius’
who is holding a snake; his staff the symbol of modern medicine.
ISON’s passage becomes doubly symbolic during the year of the Black
Water Snake. In Tibetan Buddhism, the snake depicted in the wheel of
life is symbolic of hatred, the root emotion to violence and war, when
the way of peace is by transforming that angry emotion into compassion
for all beings. Remembering also that the third week after
enlightenment, Lord Buddha (whose rebirth we recently commemorated, at
LhaBab DuChen, only a week ago) was sheltered by the coiled snake energy
(Kundalini) of the seven headed snake (in line with seven chakras).
Thus, to my mind, the symbology of a Dark Moon touching the tail of
Asclepius’ Snake, aligned with the healing brother Mercury, earthy
Saturn & ISON, it suggests the importance of global healing,
activating Kundalini Earth energy, transforming consciousness and
raising the Diving feminine Shakti power to the max.
And December's Venus retrograde dance at Solstice will again teach the importance of Five-Star LOVE ☆☆☆☆☆
