The New Moon in Sagit­tar­ius ini­ti­ates our next month­ly theme. We now need to under­stand and explain our dis­cov­er­ies in the pre­vi­ous month. We do this by seek­ing for answers to be found in Reli­gion, Phi­los­o­phy and Sci­ence. We need to make sense of our expe­ri­ences, share our knowl­edge and expand our frames of ref­er­ence. We do this for our­selves and for the future.

As the days grow ever short­er and the light is fad­ing, we seek to find com­fort in the answers that our ances­tors pro­vid­ed for us. We also need to add to that wis­dom and pass on our con­tri­bu­tion to those that fol­low. At this turn­ing of the wheel, we must fol­low the injunc­tion: Seek the truth, be your truth.

Mer­cury con­junct Plu­to cre­ates a very intense envi­ron­ment for think­ing and com­mu­ni­cat­ing. Tremen­dous and deep insights are avail­able about the struc­ture of our real­i­ty and the nature of our respon­si­bil­i­ties in it. Use this men­tal pow­er wisely

How­ev­er, we may stum­ble into the error of feel­ing so pro­found and so “right” that we are not recep­tive enough to anoth­er point of view. We may feel that we must be right, and oth­ers must believe it too. We must con­vince the oth­er, because after all, we are absolute­ly sure of the cor­rect­ness of our point of view.

Instead, you should use the pow­er of Plu­to to exam­ine the real­i­ty of your own think­ing more deeply. Pen­e­trate beyond your assump­tions and find a deep­er mean­ing about the nature of real­i­ty. Ful­fill your respon­si­bil­i­ty to be a self-reflec­tive thinker who knows that you must chal­lenge your own assump­tions if you want to move beyond this world of illusion.

Be care­ful! This is not a time to be hasty or impatient.…slow down or you will make a mis­take you will regret. Tem­pers can flare up, words could go too far. You will be upset or angry about the truth, your truth, and end up harm­ing your­self or another.

A square brings a sit­u­a­tion to a deci­sion point. The chal­lenge here is that our per­son­al actions or desires are being shaped by Uranus. Mars in Sagit­tar­ius wants to act in a very direct and straight­for­ward man­ner, to act in per­fect free­dom because, after all, “truth” is on our side.  If tak­en too far, if we allow the neg­a­tive side of being pushed by Uranus to man­i­fest, we can act so “right­eous­ly” that we com­mit a wrong.

Uranus in Pisces actu­al­ly comes in to remind us that, in fact, in order to be free you must also be com­pas­sion­ate. Our actions must be guid­ed by the under­stand­ing that whomev­er you are deal­ing with…that per­son is fun­da­men­tal­ly the same as you. Your “free­dom” to be or do some­thing can­not come at the expense of anoth­er. Rather, we must act with imag­i­na­tion, cre­ativ­i­ty and love in order to make a space we can be free in, together.

Our desires rise to answer a whis­per from beyond. Inspired actions can bring dreams into real­i­ty. Right action is guid­ed by the soul’s inner light, which unites us all in one greater reality.

You can make your dreams come true now. Act in truth with those who imag­ine a world that will be bet­ter for one and all. Join in fel­low­ship and com­mon pur­pose and find  hap­pi­ness through com­pan­ion­ship. Dream, believe and act as one.

Com­mu­ni­cate your val­ues with grace and clar­i­ty. The abil­i­ty to con­vey your appre­ci­a­tion is well sup­port­ed now. With Mer­cury in Capri­corn, we are in a seri­ous frame of mind; and with Venus in Scor­pio, we are pas­sion­ate about our tastes.

Lov­ing thoughts are grace­ful­ly shared. Enjoy the beau­ti­ful with­in and with­out. Speak from your heart and cel­e­brate what is good. Remem­ber, the secret to hap­pi­ness is “to walk in beauty”.

Our minds turn to the prac­ti­cal now. Enough with the­o­ries and talk… what “works” is what counts. Log­ic reigns supreme. This is not the time for flights of fan­cy, you will only be dis­missed or ridiculed.

Instead, bring your ideas into sharp focus, mar­shal your facts, and demon­strate the prac­ti­cal val­ue of what you know. Some of the key words to use now are:

Respon­si­bil­i­ty, Tra­di­tion, Clas­si­cal and Duty.

This is a time to be seri­ous. Opin­ions do not count, we need proof.
