Today is Thursday, Nov. 10, 2011. The Moon is in Taurus all day, waxing to full at 3:16 pm EST. We’ve been working with this energy all week, noting in particular that centaur planet Nessus is square the configuration. One other distinctive feature of today’s Full Moon is how many planets in the sky right now align with black holes.
We asked astrologer Alex Miller — a specialist in deep-space objects — about that and this is what he had to say:
“The Full Moon of November 10th is unusual in having a preponderance of exact conjunctions and aspects to black holes, signaling an advanced degree of instability and change for the lunation period. Although neither the Moon at 18 Taurus nor the Sun at 18 Scorpio make exact aspects, the Moon is within two degrees of the anomaly at 16 Taurus, and still reverberates with its power, albeit in a more chaotic, less precise manner, eliciting greater randomness over all in the level of manifestation.
“But the unique character of the lunation stems from the many deep space contacts by the other celestials of our system: Mercury and Venus together exactly conjoin a black hole at 10 Sagittarius; Jupiter at 3 Taurus is exactly square a black hole at 3 Leo; Uranus at 1 Aries is in exact opposition to a black hole at 1 Libra; both Neptune at 28 Aquarius and Pluto at 5 Capricorn exactly conjoin others; while Mars at 29 Leo and Saturn at 23 Libra are within a degree of exact conjunction to two more.
“Alteration and change in the status quo reality are the hallmarks of black hole interaction, which also indicates energy drain or attraction. Change is likely to be swift, unexpected and dramatic, although it can also be transient in its effects. The essence of black hole activation is the substitution of a radically different reality for the one that had previously pertained, often at great cost in energy or resources.
