“X-ray Reveals the Core”
New Moon in Scorpio at 24 degrees on November 16, 2009

One of the qualities of the astrological sign of Scorpio is that of penetrating vision. Similar to an “x-ray vision” that helps you get to the core – and reveals Truth. This may be used for the highest good or may be abusive and used for negative purpose. Discovering the core Truth, may not feel good nor is it easy to digest.  You will however feel more empowered when you realize what IS rather than the illusion of what it could be or you imagine it to be. In this way you have the power to choose to unearth the core so the healing may begin. New Moon phase signifies new beginnings within the lunar cycle (shorter rhythms). Nice time to plant new symbolic seed (intent or habits) within the subconscious mind.

Mars in Leo; Fearless Compassionate Warrior that listens to the heart’s wisdom to know when to act, express and give.  In a world that is mind or logic oriented the heart’s wisdom gets muffled out. Mars archetype is the “Warrior” and on a higher spiritual level, it is the “Compassionate Warrior.” Each of us must journey to step into our personal power. If not, things can become rough. There is a difference between aggressive competitive and assertive confident. Two very different expressions. One is ego-driven trapped in dualistic view of reality (good/bad) and the other has love and wisdom guiding it. You have a choice as to whether you see reality as unsafe and war-like or one that is loving and you want to claim your empowerment and be an active participant.

Provocative, Sultry, an Enigma, Magnetic  describes Venus in Scorpio.  The elegant yet sexy Venus enters the intense sign of Scorpio on November 7th, 2009.

Why not do it right from the beginning.? With Venus in Scorpio the themes of; trust, truth, empowerment, deep feeling, and how other’s value you are up on the screen of life in connection to relationships and partnerships.
