Scorpio New Moon
One thing Taos is famous for is the glorious light, spectacular sunrises and sunsets plus just a great light show of planets and stars once the full moon fades to an old waning crescent that only shows up in the wee hours of the morning like now. No exception during this almost new moon in October as the trees turn yellow to rust and brown, then fall, leaving the structure of the tree bare of cover.
It is raining today to encourage the leaves to fall. I have a magnificent weeping crabapple that has little red apples suitable as winter forage for birds that is in its last days or color. Now I can see the western horizon through the tree from the kitchen window as it releases the last of its leaves.
Jupiter rises at sunset now. It's in Taurus and the old moon is about to start its cycle yet again as the Moon enters Scorpio and joins the Sun in gate 28, line 2 at 19:58 GMT (-6 for MDT).
Scorpio is associated with sex and hidden things, like death, debt and loss. I've also been informed that there is another end of the Mayan calendar October 28, that you should stay alert to and watch.
As many of you know, I'm a fan of Eric Francis. Here's an excerpt from his email of this morning:
We take for granted that our emotional bonds with others are going to include control and jealousy (especially where sex is concerned). More than viewing this as something appropriate or useful, we tend to simply expect or even stoke these emotions, which so far as I can tell are responsible for more human misery than the next 10 factors combined. Of course, if we worked through this stuff, that would eliminate the themes of most movies, songs, artwork and poetry. Whatever would humanity do with its precious few drops of time on the planet? What would we do with our newfound freedom? That is the question that emotional drama prevents us from asking.
