Peace like a river ran through the city \/ Long past the midnight curfew \/ We sat starry-eyed \/ We were satisfied”
\n— Paul Simon<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overnight tonight for most of us (2:51 AM EDT)\u00a0we experience\u00a0a New Moon when Luna and the Sun exact their monthly conjunction. This time the location is very close to the middle of Taurus, a fixed Earth sign.\u00a0It means that\u00a0we are\u00a0also very close to the\u00a0second cross-quarter of the year, the halfway point in Sol’s journey between the first degree of Aries (Vernal Equinox) and the first degree of Cancer, which corresponds to the first day of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.\u00a0That’s two meaningful events taking place at nearly the same time. Whether In the context of what the planets are\u00a0doing, or not, the theme for astrology and\u00a0your everyday life is one of reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly all conjunctions have three features. A new beginning, a merging of energies and the potential to overlook something right under our noses. When the luminaries conjoin we\u00a0do not see the Moon\u00a0for a few days. Shortly thereafter they begin dividing their time, with the Sun\u00a0providing the light of day and Luna illuminating the night, growing first larger, then smaller before merging again to begin a new cycle. This cycle is called a lunation and\u00a0each one is very much like a reincarnation for the Moon.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0personality of\u00a0any given\u00a0lunar incarnation is set in the beginning, when the Moon returns to be one with the Sun and is hidden from our view. The sign\u00a0and degree where the convergence takes place are the\u00a0primary contributors\u00a0to that\u00a0character. Taking place at the midpoint\u00a0between seasons, the\u00a0nature is conciliatory, with one luminary\u00a0figuratively and literally meeting the other half way.<\/p>\n

That’s what reconciliation is about. It creates the foundation for a new beginning. It is a restoration of harmony, balance and consistency. It is not usually found, it is made. It\u00a0does\u00a0not require capitulation, nor does it seek to dominate. It is not acquiescence, it is a mutual satisfaction.\u00a0Sun and Moon merging energies in such a way symbolically indicates an opportunity for everyone to actually do something very much the same in their own lives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The place to begin is, as a conjunction would have it, literally right under our noses (and behind them). Reconciliation begins in our hearts and minds. In places out of sight, very much like the New Moon, we can return from the cycles of our life’s journey and join with our inner source of light and life. It may take a little time, a bit of solitude. It is often a good thing to get outdoors and walk or sit among the beings who spend all of their time in witness to the sky. However it is done, the result is the same. Assuming you’re able to get there, it is a feeling of refreshment and renewal, a new beginning for an old soul. There is no time like the present.<\/p>\n
