EVENT RESCHEDULED to Sunday, October 30th at 10am PDT
Our sincere apologies. Carol’s dear puppy, Charlie, was suddenly ill and is spending the night in the vet. While it looks like he’ll be okay (phew!!), he won’t be home until late shortly before our regular Thursday evening gathering. As a result, we’ve decided it’s best to reschedule.
Note: If you already purchased this single salon and no longer want to attend or receive the recording of this event, please send us a note and we’ll be happy to refund your purchase.
Event Description:
While Libra can be characterized as open-handed and fair, Scorpio is the time of year when judgment is meted out after deliberation. With Scorpio season comes darker and longer nights, decay and death, and deep interiority. This is where the thread is cut, and certainly, in older interpretations of the Scorpion, the claws were the clipping of Fate itself, only moderated in evolving cultures to become the pans in the scales of justice.
This month, the Sun and Moon are joined at the initiation point of the lunation cycle by Venus entering Scorpio, so the hand of the Venusian (veins/venous; a network of connections) continues to lay her hands on the proceedings of these days and weeks. Venus in Scorpio brings passion and intensity rather than the just measure to the deliberations. This trio of Sun, Moon, and Venus makes their way in the succeeding two weeks of early November into an opposition with Uranus in Taurus tilting towards the T-square to Saturn in Aquarius. A passion for judgment leans into the struggle for change: will we change? Can we change? Are we too worn out? Is it easier to just give up and let Saturn, the rules, and business-as-usual prevail?
As the Sun and the feminine struggle with judgment and commitment, Mars in Gemini slows to retrograde Halloween night, beginning a weeks-long square to Neptune in Pisces—arguments about beliefs and dreams. But a repeating trine to Saturn in Aquarius suggests that perhaps justice WILL be done. The American election scheduled for November 8 will be held under these auspices, bringing to mind the retrograde election of George Bush by the Supreme Court.
Note: If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences. For more information on reading your own natal chart, you can purchase the recording of How to Read Your Own Horoscope 101.
About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private astrology tutor with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
