The New Moon early Sunday morning swept gently through its position in late Libra, trine the triple Aquarius conjunction (really, quadruple, if you count Nessus) and square the lunar nodes: a tipping point. The nature of that may be coming in more clearly now.
We pick up the story with the Sun in the last days of Libra, many other planets in Libra, and the Moon in Scorpio, about to square Nessus. Ceres, similar to the Moon but with a more focused adult energy, entered Scorpio last week. The Moon and Ceres can represent many of the same things, but Ceres has more to do with the feelings and experiences of mature women, in particular mothers, than does the Moon.
My own biases lead me to believe that there will be more get-real conversation on days with a powerful Moon-Nessus aspect, though this may be more about cultivating inner awareness and potent emotions brewing around. Humans have an odd tendency to avoid talking about what matters to them the most; we’re luck to even be aware of it. With the Scorpio Moon square the planet of healing transgressions, those feelings could surround inner revelations about the extent to which we are ruled, as in dragged around, bullied and even pushed into a corner, by our sexual injuries. These would include all forms of wounded trust, trust being the primary thing that takes the brunt of any abuse. The issue here seems to be why we put up with it, which is something we could all profitably preoccupy ourselves with.
Ceres, now in Scorpio, suggests that we get to know the sexuality and relationship lives of our mothers. I recognize that for most people, this is not exactly appealing, for a diversity of reasons; but she is keeping secrets, and her secrets from you are your secrets from yourself. This chart tells a story, and remembering the ‘mythical fiction’ aspect of astrology, consider this: her relationship life was more complex than she let on by way of her public image. Mothers must maintain a PR position to be considered ‘fit for motherhood’, and there is always more to the story than appears on the surface of that appearance.
