by Leo Knighton Tallarico As I write this week’s blog, the Full Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus has past a few hours ago. So we are now in the waning, last half of a lunar cycle that began at the New Moon in Libra on October 16. It is Samhain, this day of October 31, a yearly passage that has been downgraded to Halloween in our current pop culture. Samhain represents a time of year when it is said that the veils between worlds or dimensions is the thinnest. That means that we

By Leo Knighton Tallarico As we move closer to the November 3 Election Day with Mercury Direct, followed by two months of important planetary movements, including 2 Eclipses; for now this week we feel undercurrents of these impending transformational changes. The presidential debate this past week was less childish than the one before, but still seemed like two little boys( in the bodies of old men) who are splashing water in each others faces while sticking out their tong

By Leo Knighton Tallarico On Sunday October 27, as the Sun and Moon join together at 4+ degrees of Scorpio, we become more aware of the increasing darkness and cold surrounding us here in the Northern Hemisphere of Planet Earth. This New Moon in Scorpio opens the way to new beginnings, to moving forward in our lives. This may be especially so with issues of passion.  It is a good time at this Scorpio New Moon, to get in touch with what gives you passion. Without passion, life

By Leo Knighton Tallarico This week is rather slow,  astrologically speaking.   There are no major planetary movements or motivators. Nevertheless, the pull downward and inward is powerful this week. The vast majority of planets are in yin signs: Water and Earth. The 4th and last quarter of the current lunar cycle begins on Wednesday October 31st, adding to the downward theme.  Of course this means that the Moon is dimming in light more every day, until the turning point back

By Leo Knighton Tallarico This week Scorpio energies stay strong while we take the waxing ride up to a Full Moon in Taurus on Friday/Saturday October 27/28. The Scorpionic secrets from the Kennedy files were opened last week, but only partially. This partial opening of those files of course stimulates conspiracy feelings. It is pretty obvious, in my estimation, that the Powers That Be (whether we consider that as the Deep State or Military/Industrial Complex or New World Orde

By Leo Knighton Tallarico The New Moon in Scorpio on Sunday October 30 begins the lunar cycle that will lead into the Election on November 8.   That New Moon in Scorpio happens at 1:38 PM EDT. Of course new moons always mean new beginnings, new starts, and energy to get going. Being in Scorpio this new moon brings  emotional intensity,  primal instincts, a lazer beam into deeper thoughts and feelings, a revealing of previously hidden secrets,  and more passion. Primal instinc

By Leo Knighton Tallarico This week we begin to swim through deeper and darker soul waters- before we will experience an important New Moon next week. The deeper waters will begin to open up Saturday October 22 at 7:46 PM EDT as the Sun moves into Scorpio. On the same day the last quarter Moon in Cancer takes us into finishing up the lunar cycle that began at the Libra New Moon of September 30. A Libra New Moon is the first new moon of Autumn, and brings us the beauty of a me

By Leo Knighton Tallarico We enter November (Sunday) with the clocks turned back an hour, giving the impression of darker days. Also as we enter November, we are moving through the waning half of the lunar cycle, a time when things usually slow down for processing, reflecting, and preparing for the next lunar cycle, which will begin on November 11 at the Scorpio New Moon. New Moons always begin a lunar cycle and give motivation to begin anew. Last quarter moons that are just

By Leo Knighton Tallarico This coming week should bring a deepening into one’s body and soul.  Water and Earth signs are strongly represented this week.  Water and Earth together bring energies “down and in” instead of “up and out”. Together they represent Yin instead of Yang. There is a Full Moon on Tuesday the 27th at 8:05 AM EDT.  That Full Moon has the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Taurus.   Scorpio is water and Taurus is Earth, both Yin signs. Both are “fixed” signs as

by Leo Knighton Tallarico We are entering an important time period now.   The centerpiece of this time period, in the midst of Autumn Eclipse Season 2013, will be from October 30- November 6.    Within that time frame is an exact Uranus/Pluto square on November 1 and a Hybrid Total Solar Eclipse New Moon in Scorpio on November 3. The power of the “underworld”, where deep transformation brews, will be at its most powerful.    Pluto mythologically is the Guardian of the Underwo

by Leo Knighton Tallarico Halloween, of course, is the modern day equivalent of Samhain, a celebration of the approximate midpoint between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice.   It is considered the time of year when there is turn toward the darkness; it is also considered a time when the veils between worlds is thinnest. Halloween is almost like a modern satirical version of Samhain. The turn toward the darkness can bring in fear for some.  And of course as the veil gets thin
