The last New Moon of 2012 will take place at 21+ Sagittarius, 3:42 am EST Thursday. A New Moon is a conjunction of the luminaries, Sun and Moon. It also starts a new lunar cycle. The aspects to a New Moon are a graphic set of relationships that imply something of the cycle about to begin. Taken together, the timing and aspects to Thursday’s New Moon invite you to participate in a new cycle here on Earth, affirming the value of your own life and that of others.<\/p>\n

The Sagittarius New Moon, eight days before the Sun enters Capricorn initiating a new season, strongly suggests that this is time of beginnings, not endings. That is important news, and spreading the news is one way you can affirm life and refute pernicious prophesy.<\/p>\n

Just as a New Moon is hidden from our view, some hide fear of a pernicious, and false, prophesy that the world will end at the Capricorn Solstice. Among those who conceal that anxiety are those who take it seriously enough to get lost in fear and grief, possibly bringing loss and grief to others in the bargain. The potential for such a preventable tragedy is symbolized by a centaur object that will participate with the luminaries in their Sagittarius conjunction.<\/p>\n

Among the objects that will share the same degree of Sagittarius with the New Moon is Hylonome. In mythology, Hylonome was a centaur suddenly lost in grief over the violent death of her beloved, Cyllarus, losing her own resolve to live in the bargain. In astrology, Hylonome is a centaur object of the solar system with an orbit proximate to both Uranus (the sudden and unexpected), and Neptune (lost in loss). In a fascinating synchronicity, two other objects, both emblematic of love, will be crowded into the same conjunction with Hylonome and the luminaries —\u00a0the hypothetical planet Cupido, and the asteroid Aphrodite.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In mythology, Aphrodite and Venus are synonymous for the most part, representing ideals of love and beauty. Both affirm life and living as a necessary precondition for realizing those ideals. In astrology, asteroids are, for the most part, very straightforward in how interpretation follows from the name. Aphrodite is thus an overt and fundamental expression of attraction. It is the urge to merge, if you will. The hypothetical planets (more formally known as Uranian points) are more complex, but only so far as to demonstrate how ideals are manifested.<\/p>\n

Writing about the theoretical Uranians in the most recent Planet Waves subscriber edition, Eric noted “from years of observation I have learned to respect those points.” Among them is Cupido. Its glyph combines those of Venus and Jupiter, both of which serve as symbols of affirmation in nearly every school of astrology.<\/p>\n

The key words for Cupido, according to Arlene Kramer (and other Uranian astrologers) are getting “getting together.” This is especially appropriate for a conjunction with the luminaries. In merger with the New Moon, Cupido thus represents the importance of being both physically and publicly present. It is loving and participating in life, with the living. As with the asteroid Aphrodite, a choice to live is essential to the nature of Cupido. How then are we to interpret Hyolnome’s presence in symbolic merger with the New Moon, Cupido and Aphrodite? The answer might be in the timing of the aspect.<\/p>\n

Any of us can get lost in grief or fear, which is precisely how it is important for each of us to be careful not to provoke the same in others. When grief or fear is based on speculation or outright falsehoods, it is especially inappropriate to initiate sudden and unexpected crisis. Please be assured that anybody predicting the world’s end on Dec. 21 is promulgating outright falsehoods. Such delusional liars are not of much concern. They are out in the open with their lies. Their season is drawing to a close. There is legitimate concern, however, for those who keep existential crisis to themselves. That’s how Aphrodite and Cupido come in.<\/p>\n

Few things bring people out of their shells, passionately wanting to live, like consensual intimacy. Therefore, for the New Moon and beyond, consider that the person you make love to may be the life you save. Unfortunately, that happy solution is not appropriate or responsible for everybody, and some people may not have that opportunity. But “getting together” in a broader, yet no less important or loving sense, is possible for nearly everybody — with, perhaps, a slight shift in perspective, or a move out of the comfort zone.<\/p>\n

Now, right now, and these days in front of us, are an appropriate time to get together. With a New Moon heralding a new season, it is responsible to open up as Jupiter would have us do, and invite others in from out of their heads as Venus would have us do. Cupido symbolically combines the nature of Venus and Jupiter, and provides the means by which we can help each other avoid fulfilling a prophecy that does not value life here on Earth, in this time and place where only life belongs. So, get up, stand up, in human and heavenly conjunction. Stand up for your life.<\/p>\n
