The Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarian Lunations (Moonths) of 1997.

If you're reading & understanding this you have to be Astrologically literate. To find out how strongly you are influenced by any particular moonth, determine how close the New Moon is to any of your natal planets, angles or important midpoints. If it's within a degree, then you will be impacted strongly by the cycle. Even other major phases close to your natal points can strongly impact. The common theme for this period can be seen in the connection of the Uranus/Pluto sextile to the New Moons. To quote one of your astrological authors; Tomkins "Aspects in Astrology 1989", --- almost any disaster’ which involves unexpected crisis, sudden violent death, some sort of shock that jolts & horrifies the collective, invariably has tight contacts involving Uranus & Pluto in the horoscope. Commonly, the Sun (or another important factor) will fall exactly at the midpoint of these two planets. This is about as dramatic a statement as can be made about the Uranus/Pluto effect & too extreme for the changes that are on offer during the last quarter of 1997. However, it does draw attention to the evolutionary power of this combination of archetypes. Jupiter is conjunct Uranus for much of this period, either exaggerating the effect or opening up opportunities for creative use. All of those born during 1965/66, when last Uranus & Pluto were conjunct, are now in their early thirties & are overt or covert agents of social change. As they were born at a time when Uranus & Pluto were also opposite Saturn, they react strongly to authoritarian commands & hierarchical control structures. They are driven to fight social structures that depower the individual. Uranus & Pluto are associated with the collective signs of Scorpio & Aquarius respectively; & zodiacally speaking, the Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarian moonths emphasize group functioning. So there’s nothing personal about all this stuff & you might often feel rather insecure because some of the furnishings of your world view are disappearing in front of you. Neptune is still in Capricorn, dissolving the structures of your grandfathers reality. Pluto, so recently into Sagittarius, is scooping up the horseshit of a bygone age & using it as fertilizer. And Uranus, recently into Aquarius, is laughing at your attachment to relics which just anchor you to the past. All contributions to shaking you loose from historical identity & you interpret this as some form of attack? So difficult, if you know yourself as a rock clinger’ to let go & ride the current. Rather freaky, waking up in the morning & not knowing who you are. No wonder most of you are hiding out, or is it hiding in? When a big surf is pounding the rocks, no-one in their right survival minds would just jump in. Such is the current wave - if you're waving, not drowning.
