The Hunt - Scorpio New Moon
and Solar Eclipse 11/13/12
Sometimes getting your needs met is like a duck hunt. Gear up. Get up at ungodly hours of the day in all kinds of weather. All this, to get duck almandine at the family dinner. If you are vegan, then substitute tofu. In any case, this image is what an entrepreneur or an employee goes through. This is what you go through to get a job. This is what you go through to go shopping at Costco during busy hours. This is you in Scorpio energy, dealing with getting what you need and don’t yet have.     

How do you ask for your needs? What do you put yourself through to do so and is it time to re-evaluate? Scorpio New Moon and especially Saturn in Scorpio during the next couple years will give you practice in this investigation. How do you ask for a loan, sex, a pat on the back, power, prestige, a car, or whatever? The high end to aim for is direct and honest truth with no strings attached. The shadow is push and shove, manipulation and strings. “I’ll love you if…” 

The hunt and the ability to rebirth like a phoenix will require more effort during the next couple years with Saturn spinning through the sign of Scorpio. The strong and practiced in these areas are rewarded and the weaker will be pruned away. Your best aim is to develop emotional and psychological resilience and honesty. Shed baggage, minimize your debt ratio, clean up karmic debt and otherwise. This means exercising discipline in thinking long term too. It also means accepting death and rebirth cycles.

So, that’s what this New Moon cycle in Scorpio creates. Opportunities abound for you to practice. Oh yeah, the Solar Eclipse on 11/13/12. Energy is changing in what you hunt for and why you hunt for it. Issues, assistance from others, networks and karmic debts are eclipsed by new immediate needs. Mercury goes direct 11/26/12 so be patient and practice being emotionally present and honest on Happy Thanksgiving Day, 11/22/12.  Namaste.
