Moon Diary: The Diwali Moon, 26th October 2011 by Jane Lyle
The Scorpio new Moon rises at 3 degrees of this strong, intense sign. It marks the triumph of light over darkness at the festival of Diwali, an important sacred celebration for Hindus, Jains and Sikhs.

Here on earth Diwali, the festival of lights, is a time of firecrackers, sweets, candles and joyful gatherings of families and friends. It's just before the pagan feast of the dead, Halloween, too. Gods, goddesses, spooks and spectres are gathering all around us. So what does the astrology have to say?

Jupiter stands firm in earthy Taurus opposing this new Moon, The message of this connection is that deep, intimate feelings are intertwined with a powerful desire to protect ourselves and others. Our spiritual senses are tingling, and our intuition is expanded and strengthened. But the Moon is a changeable creature, and it may be difficult to pin down our dreams as we bob about in this sea of emotions. If you??re longing for someone to make a commitment to you, for example, it may be very hard - even impossible - to reach an agreement with each other now, and in the month ahead. Similarly, dreams of future plans that surface now will need to be refined and tested after that first intoxicating surge of inspiration has ebbed away. Inspiration and passion are precious though, so we must not limit ourselves too much. Just be aware of obsessive behaviour and stalking tendencies, this is a Scorpio new Moon after all. Sitting outside someone's house in your car is probably a bad move. You know why.

A fortunate fixed star, Princeps, conjoins the Moon, encouraging Scorpio??s detective skills to flow in helpful directions. It favours research, the law, science, and the arts and is an excellent influence if you??re studying or on a fact-finding mission. A positive time, then, for starting projects that need mental focus or for finding out more about someone, or something. Princeps is a star in the constellation Bootes, the herdsman or ploughman. The name means prince, suggesting important news about royalty, religious leaders, and statesmen.

*A Scorpio new Moon highlights creativity, and this would be a positive way to channel some of those unruly desires, jealous feelings, and unsettling thoughts brought to light this month. Linking with both Mars and Pluto, the rulers of Scorpio, the new Moon represents a cocktail of dark energy with transformative potential. So, it might be wise to find something for this energy to do. Cleaning house works well now - there are many levels to choose, from giving away unwanted items to space clearing and feng shui. It's an important Moon, too, for gardeners, farmers, and those working with agriculture or the land. Time to plan, plot, prune and prepare for the new season in many ways, just choose what's appropriate for your life. Happy Diwali!
