Henry Seltzer – Tuesday morning’s Sagittarius New Moon, taking place at mid-day for Europe and points east, makes for another quite powerful lunation, bringing many of the outer planets into renewed prominence. This reflects the massive changes that we are involved in right now, both individually and culturally, thus indicating that we will be forced to surrender to cosmic process in order to leave behind certain life factors that no longer serve us.
Jupiter is now opposed to Uranus while Venus at 20 degrees of Capricorn precisely squares the Aries position of this trickster archetype. As far as the other major outer planets, the Sun and Moon at 7-plus degrees of Sagittarius square numinous Neptune at a similar degree of Pisces, a key aspect that is quite close, at a separation from exact of about a degree and a half, while Jupiter and Uranus make a T-square to Pluto in the middle degree of Capricorn. Saturn remains in close parallel to Pluto, symbolic of major structural transformation, as the society around us irretrievably alters.
Then, too, we can say that Uranus is made far more prominent by its close (two-degree) conjunction with the new planet, Eris. As my research has shown, Eris magnifies every planet that she touches, adding a powerful element of deep intentionality. The Sun and Moon also make a close sesquiquadrate aspect to both, and for Eris within mere minutes of a degree, so that Eris is very potent in this lunation. We know that these times call for each and everyone to be ready, willing, and able to take a strong stand for themselves, and the prominence of Eris, as Feminine Warrior for soul purpose, corresponds to this idea. As above, so below.
