Happy Diwali! Scorpio New Moon, Nov. 13, 2023

Happy Diwali dear friends,

We’re in a very auspicious Diwali season, moving to a liberating Scorpio New Moon on November 13, 2023, opposite Uranus.

Pay attention to the area of your life ruled by Scorpio. This lunation opposes revolutionary Uranus, and currently, Mars the ruler of Scorpio is opposite Uranus. It’s easy to relate to the Sabian Symbol for the lunation, given the state of world affairs. But to me, this suggests there is hope — collectively and personally.

(SCORPIO 21°): OBEYING HIS CONSCIENCE, A SOLDIER RESISTS ORDERS.

KEYNOTE: A readiness to face the results of a refusal to follow the authoritarian patterns of an aggressive society.

As a person finds himself involved in activities which are traditional in his particular culture — and in many instances in all societies at this stage of human evolution — he often faces a conflict between his own individual sense of value (his conscience) and the demands of society. The conflict may be most typical in terms of the armed services — thus this symbol. In it we find the individual asserting his own values, though he cannot escape the consequences of his decision. In such a case he has to be quietly ready to face these consequences, whatever the cost.

This is the first stage in the forty-seventh five-fold sequence of phases in the great cyclic ritual of activity. The issue it presents is clear. Society in this situation seems to be all-powerful; yet the individual need not be spiritually bound, even if imprisoned. He still can display INNER FREEDOM and prove himself an “individual.”

An Astrological Mandala – Dane Rudhyar

There are unpredictable, unexpected developments and powerful breakthroughs on the way. There’s something thing breathtakingly beautiful resurrecting in the ashes of the past. Whatever unfolds remains detached. Life, relationships, and finances are evolving powerfully, and leveling up.

With the New Moon in Scorpio, we’re reconnecting with the primal indestructible life source within. As move through the Dark Moon phase, consciously release baggage, the past, and clear clutter — — emotionally, mentally, physically. We’re shedding skin, reclaiming freedom and power to live life by our rules.

Consciously let go of your attachments to the material world. This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy material pleasures, but just that we don’t allow them to have power over us. Life, Money, sex, and relationships change form and shape — the soul is immortal and the love we’ve shared is eternal.
Life can change in the blink of an eye. But whatever unfolds — you were born for this, and you can rise to a challenge.

Scorpio speaks of change, transformation, and metamorphosis. It also speaks of control and a process of surrender. We can’t change anything outside ourselves. Change always comes from the inside out. This lunation is a process of inner alchemy and the process of ego death, revealing the gold and immortal soul within.

Let go. Cling to no one and nothing. Then you can emerge from this lunation, truly sovereign. As you enter this new cycle — do not underestimate your power to direct or re-direct the course of your destiny. But with that power comes responsibility. Self-awareness is needed.

Soon after the Scorpio New Moon, the Sun and Mars meet in a powerful cazimi in November, before entering Sagittarius. We’re on a journey, turning a corner, into a whole new world with breathtaking views. Buckle up, surrender, and enjoy the ride.

Here is this week’s free COSMIC DIARIES NOV 10-18, audio podcast for a more in-depth interpretation . One thing I forgot to mention, with the Sun-Mars conjunction, be extra careful — there is a tendency to be accident-prone, especially around water.

Here’s the audio covering the astrology for November 2023 for $7.77 You will be taken to the Audio link after purchase.

Finally, as you move through this auspicious Diwali season and the Scorpio New Moon— move inward to reconnect with the light, divine life force, and consciousness within. Then, surrender and, let it guide you as you navigate forward.

Till next time, I wish you a very Happy Diwali and a joyous, prosperous New Year!

Love,

Priya

Dear Subscribers,

Welcome to the Equinox! Yesterday, September 23, marked the Equinox — a time of equal days and equal nights when nature finds equilibrium.

It primarily represents our relationships, matters of creativity, choices, social justice, legal matters, beauty, harmony, fairness, equality, and Karma. With the Sun’s transit in the sign — expect these themes to be highlighted, especially where you have Libra in your chart.

Venus the ruler of Libra is currently in Leo, the sign ruled by the Sun. Over the coming weeks — the Sun and Venus are in mutual reception, which bodes well for all our relationships, finances, creative matters, and all matters of the heart. Where we may have recently felt stretched thin, in terms of resources, finances, and strained relationships — things are balancing out, allowing us to enjoy and form fruitful collaborations.

GEMINI NEW MOON, JUNE 18 – 30, 2023

At 12:37 AM ET on June 18, the Sun and Moon aligned at 26+ Gemini ushering in a brand, sparkling, visionary, new cycle. On June 19 Venus enters the shadow phase, and Jupiter harmoniously aligns with Saturn, seeding the energy over the coming weeks.

I get the image of a moat, with a drawbridge, around a castle that holds a cornucopia of treasures within. We’ve been outside trying to guess the secret password that will lower the drawbridge granting access. Or we could be the ones in the castle perceiving a threat outside. But in refusing to lower a bridge, we’ve trapped ourselves. And what if the person outside isn’t a friend but a foe, here to tell us the coast is clear.

We’re in a new cycle now, opening a whole new world of possibilities.

The New Moon’s square Neptune is extremely visionary energy. But if we look eternally for answers, we’re likely to feel confused or like we’re moving in circles. Avoid projection — whether of your worst fears, or fantasies. Whether you feel like you’re inside or outside the gates, as you enter this cycle move inward to connect with an inner truth, to listen to your inner voice and intuition. It holds the key and a secret password. And it might tell you it’s worth checking if the person outside is a friend or a foe.

(Of course, this is an analogy but there’s a similar process unfolding somewhere in your life.)

Gemini is the sign that rules the mind, all forms of communication, transportation, siblings, duality, perceptions, thoughts, and all forms of expression. Expect these themes to be highlighted over the coming two weeks, especially in the area of your chart/life ruled by Gemini.

As you enter this cycle, clarify a vision in your mind’s eye and stay connected with the truth within. This is cerebral mental energy — so pay attention to your mental health. Meditate. Tune into your inner voice and quiet the mind. Spending time in silence nature, by the water, will help you reflect and find clarity.

With curiosity and honest open-hearted conversations, we can make valuable discoveries. Then we can make informed, conscious creative choices as we explore the treasures, pleasures, and support available.

Jupiter’s sextile to Saturn is an extremely expansive, fertile aspect. With Saturn’s newly retrograde, we’re discovering new depths within ourselves and in situations, inviting us to explore new opportunities and new horizons.

Roads and gates that were once shut are opening to offer greater freedom and support — emotionally and materially. But acknowledge where you might need to lower your guard, walls, and defenses, and be more flexible. Or to patch up leaks and what drains energy. Then we can allow in a greater flow of abundance, well-being, and prosperity.

Significantly, also on June 19, Venus enters the shadow phase and will station retrograde on July 22.

Relationships, finances, creative projects, and all matters of the heart are highlighted. Pay attention to what’s surfacing in the coming days. We’re getting a glimpse into a larger story playing out until Venus transits Leo in October. We will be revisiting and re-evaluating current conversations around September 3, when Venus returns to this degree of the zodiac and stations direct. So leave room for change and re-evaluation later.

Venus is the ruler of Taurus, where Jupiter is currently transiting. Relationships are moving to a new level, revealing greater love, and the emotional, financial, and creative potential within and around us. But it will require discernment, so we don’t overlook a solid opportunity while chasing something shiny but hollow. Learn your lessons, but release the past and stay in the present. Most importantly keep an open mind and heart, then you can make wise choices.

It’s likely we’re dealing with cultural differences and connections with others with vastly different ideas and perspectives. Keep this in mind. This is how we learn, through our interactions and contrast. Be honest with yourself about what you want, desire, value, your bottom line, be creative, think win-win; then communicate honestly. Also, actively listen to what someone is saying so you can truly understand another, bridge a gap, and find common ground.

Where there’s been a communication breakdown — there’s healing on offer. We’re nearing a breakthrough in the coming weeks. At best, this is a chance to pool together resources, join worlds, and deepen and strengthen lucrative, creative, loyal, loving partnerships, where there is mutual respect and freedom of expression.

From September 2022 till March 2023 Mars was transiting Gemini. Venus was transiting Gemini in April and early May. Now we’re in the Gemini New Moon cycle and Saturn is retrograde. We’re seeing the past, present, and future in a new light. We’ve seen the dark side, as well as the potential in others, in ourselves, and in situations.

Over the next two weeks, there’s a need to look at life, situations, and relationships with new eyes — as we are today. Avoid going to extremes and stay in the middle. We’ve looked at a situation from all angles, seen the good bad ugly. Nothing and no one is perfect. What matters is that we’re willing to learn and grow. It will call for vulnerability, authenticity, dropping defenses, and leading with the heart. But let go of perceptions of how you think things should be. Then you can discover the truth and start to see the sublime beauty in your current circumstances.

On a spiritual level, Gemini invites us to move beyond duality to recognize the underlying oneness of existence. Separation is an illusion of the mind. The space between us is not a vacuum. We are just different forms and expressions of that One energy.

We’re learning the power of the mind to create reality. As you enter and move through this cycle — stay inwardly focused, connected with an inner soul truth, and vision. Listen to your inner voice, which speaks in silence. Then you can be guided serendipitously and almost magically to the right place at the right time and find the magic words that open a whole new world of possibilities…

As you’re about to see, you have more options than you imagined. Be honest with yourself above all, and choose wisely.

— Priya Kale, June 18, NYC

MAY 15, MARS TRINE NEPTUNE

We’re waking up to reality and there are huge and searing realizations and insights surfacing today. Mercury is newly direct, the Moon enters fiery Aries at 3:56 AM, connects with powerful Pluto and clashes with sweet Venus, and passionate Mars connects with the planet of intuition Neptune. We’re gaining clarity on a situation that has mystified us. More importantly, we’re becoming more self-aware and aware of our desires and feelings. But this could get emotional; so if there is anger, fear, or other painful emotions surfacing – especially surrounding abandonment or any childhood trauma — release them consciously. Also, be careful to avoid picking scabs and pouring salt into wounds that are healing. Significantly Jupiter is at 29+ Aries and triggers the Aries Eclipse on April 19 — magnifying and moving situations (initiated at the time) to a whole new level. Above all today — trust your intuition, have faith in the Universe, and let it guide you.

Dear Friends,

We’re in Taurus season and just past a dramatic and powerful Scorpio Full Moon on May 4, 2015 at 13+ degrees opposite the Taurus Sun, with Jupiter at 13+ Leo forming a partile T-square to the lunation.

scorpmoonorbWith Jupiter in the mix — this is BIG.You can expect major revelations to come through in the days that follow, bringing huge opportunities if we dare seize them.

With Scorpio the message is always change; but this is the kind of change that happens deep in the shadows. And the Moon in Scorpio, suggests a deeper emotional process of transformation unfolding, deep below the surface where it can’t be seen, only felt.

Unfolding events are seeping into emotional crevices, leaving no room to hide from the demons that must be faced. But still there is a sense, of a child looking for monsters under the bed. It requires real courage to turn the lights on, but once he or she does, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Dear Friends,

So here we are at the Scorpio Full Moon, which opposes the Taurus Sun exactly at 3:15 PM EDT today May 14, 2014 at 23+ degrees Scorpio Full Moon Rising over Kingston, NY. Photo by Priya Kaleon the Scorpio-Taurus axis. The Moon goes Void of Course immediately after the opposition and enters Sagittarius overnight on May 15, 2014 at 1:43 AM EDT.

At this time, the Full Moon is also in a conjunction to Saturn, while Venus (ruler of Taurus) is passing through the Grand Cross, in a near exact square to Pluto in Capricorn and a conjunction to Uranus (exact tomorrow.) And Mercury is past a trine to Mars, stationary in Libra, preparing to station direct on May 19, 2014.

Full Moons bring revelations  and the aspects surrounding the lunation will seed the energy for the coming two weeks as we move to the New Moon and the next new cycle. Reading the current aspects – there are important messages, coming through, perhaps difficult realities to confront. Especially once the Moon enters Sagittarius later tonight we can expect profound and deep revelations over the coming days.

But Taurus-Scorpio suggests this is also very passionate, sexual, sensual energy, abundant with raw potential allowing for profound transformation and there may even be sudden unexpected reversals or role reversals. And once Mars stations direct, expect current revelations to lead to decisive action and things moving forward full steam ahead.

I’m just finishing up the Scorpio Full Moon report with a detailed interpretation of the above aspects and other major aspects surrounding this lunation, so subscribers can look for that in their inbox a little later. If you aren’t a subscriber you can sign up here for a free one week trial subscription to receive this report, others reports and the Monthly Horoscopes by email.

Also, I’ve recorded a short video blog for the Scorpio Full Moon, with a few thoughts and ideas I have for the Blog and this site. I’ll have that up as the Moon enters Sagittarius tonight at 1:43 AM EDT on May 15, 2014, so you can check back here later or subscribe to the channel at this link to be notified directly.

On another note, its my birthday this Friday, May 16th, so I thought I’d offer a discount on Consultations booked by May 19, 2014. If you’ve ever considered getting a Personal Consultation now would be a great time to get one and get back on track with life as Mars powers forward.

I’ll be back with more astrology and updates soon, so stay tuned. In the meanwhile I wish a very Happy Full Moon and Buddha Pornima.

Love,
Priya

Taurus Solar Eclipse and New Moon

An Excerpt ==

“Although we’re a few days past the exact Grand Cardinal Cross, with an alignment like this, especially leading up to a New Moon and Solar Eclipse in a fixed sign like Taurus, what’s unfolding is likely to reverberate for a lifetime, not just days or even months.

“The exact New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Taurus on Apr. 29, 2014 at 2:14 AM EDT at 8+ Taurus. At the time of the lunation the Sun and Moon sextile Neptune in Pisces and (along with Mercury) are applying in a trine to Pluto in Capricorn.

“Here is the interpretation for the Sabian Symbol of the lunation, taken from Dane Rudhyar’s “An Astrological Mandala: The Cycle of Transformations and Its 360 Symbolic Phases”

PHASE 39 (TAURUS 9°): A FULLY DECORATED CHRISTMAS TREE.

KEYNOTE: The ability to create inner happiness in dark hours.

In northern or mountainous countries where the Christmas tree symbol took form, we find a contrast between the tree outside – bare and normally covered with snow – and the tree inside the home – loaded with decorations and gifts for the family. If we follow up the meaning of the preceding symbol, we see that snow has come outside; but the prepared and closely united group has created abundance, beauty and happiness within, overcoming the cold barrenness of the outside world — just as man had overcome, in a previous symbol (Phase 35), the natural obstacle to his progress. The Christ symbol is also included in the background — that is, the vivid faith in a transformed future.

This fourth stage symbol suggests the ever-present possibility open to man to transfigure the darkness and deprivation of the low point of a life cycle by incarnating in it an antiphonic response celebrating the ever remembered and always expected high moments of life. It evokes man’s undying FAITH IN CYCLIC RENEWAL.

“We’ve weathered a rather stormy patch of astrology over the past month. With the Moon in its extreme waning phase, (triggering the Grand Cross) disappearing as we reach the New Moon, there is a sense of touching rock bottom, reaching ground zero, leveling out, perhaps even feeling a depletion of resources or energy or feeling emotionally depleted or drained. It may be natural to want to cling for fear of losing what you have.

“But Taurus is the sign of the earth — life itself. And you are learning through first hand experience the cycles of your life. This time before the New Moon and Solar Eclipse is a time for deep release, weeding out what’s unnecessary, clearing space. Any spring cleaning you do now, could be especially cathartic and healing. Let go of emotional baggage that weighs you down or prevents something new from entering your world.

“Nature abhors a vacuum and the less you hold on to what has outgrown its purpose, you can clear space to attract what you need with the new cycle — be material resources or even emotional security…” – Priya, Kale, Taurus New Moon and Solar Eclipse 2014. Read Full Report.
