New Moon of November 22 and the Age of Aquarius

Article by Kim Lovelace

The New Moon takes place on the 22nd November at 12:32 in Libra in the 9th house (London).  There has been a lot of hype for many years about the coming age of Aquarius, in all areas of the world.  This coming ‘new age’ has been a theme of many cults and political parties, but do we really understand what this transition is really about?  It is time for communities to come together with kindness and compassion and to accept that it takes physical as well as mental committed effort to prepare ourselves for this important, humanitarian energy to bestow its influence.  Holding onto worn out traditions and sentimental memories of how life used to be, will restrict us to narrow mindedness and limit our scope of depth, of true spiritual understanding, which comes from the heart and needs to be balanced with the mind.  The New Moon is amid a stellium of planets, the Sun, Mercury and Saturn all in Libra, Venus in Scorpio and the MC in Ophiuchus.  We must lift ourselves out of the depression that the media creates by using realism and common sense, instead of fighting and moaning about the status quo we must see in ourselves as humans, the beauty and the miracle of our race.  The MC in Ophiuchus is a powerful teacher, teaching us the methods of the unconventional when it comes to cures, treatments and technology.  These are not necessarily new ideas, but the ancient traditional ways that are purer in form and natural in essence.  As depression is on the rise and has been for many years, Ophiuchus can give us the strength to look beyond our wounds and to emerge from the darkness of our grief as scientists and healers of a new kind and the Moon in trine to Uranus emphasizes this by bringing in the qualities of original spontaneous imagination, new or inventive enterprises, with the energy and determination that is needed.  Metaphysical Science is the key and life line to the Aquarian Age.
As Saturn is in square to Moon these changes can create great confusion among many and the human race needs to get a grip on reality or, rather than face the truth will immerse themselves into fantasies risking their souls to addictions or hold unrealistic ambitions, not just deceiving themselves but others too.  It is vital that we raise our standards and use this magical time to open our minds and hearts to what we have always dreamt about regarding the coming age, it’s not an overnight success, but a clever and compassionate study of what really works. Intuition and psychic abilities are only good for those that are focused and awake, or deceit and distortion of the truth will be the result of lower level vibrations, whose aims are to keep us in the dark.  Lilith in opposition to Neptune emphasizes the confusion about the reality of life and gives the feeling of estrangement which can prevent us from feeling that we truly belong and heightening the potential for self deception.  We must take note that this is just an illusion and that the truth is out there for all to see.

Anne Hathaway's 13 Zodiac Horoscope

Anne Hathaway is Libra, born on November 12, 1982. When she was born the Sun was in Libra not in Scorpio. This is an undeniable fact imposed by Astronomy of the 21st century. Most people have changed Zodiac Sign because of the Precession of the Equinoxes that changed the sky and shifted the Zodiac Signs on the celestial dome. Precession also brought a 13th Zodiac Sign, named Ophiuchus, in the Zodiac Circle. (Find your true Zodiac Sign here: http://www.astrology13.com/en/findyournewzodiacsign1 )

If we could isolate only one feature of the 13 Zodiac Horoscope of Anne, this would be the high concentration of planets in Libra, her Sun sign. This symbolizes commitment to a goal with self-denial and balance. The Moon is the new ascendant of 13 Zodiac Astrology and its position in Virgo shows that harmony and perfection are elements of her character that defined her career as an actress. Chiron in Taurus in opposition to Jupiter makes clear that every move Anne makes in her life (and work) is well studied  and that leaves nothing to chance, not even the smallest item!

The Sun enters to Libra on October 31, at 12:50 GMT

After almost 5 weeks the Sun leaves Virgo on 31 October at 12:50 GMT and enters to Libra.
As we have documented many times in a scientific way through this Site, the signs are now 13 and the dates the Sun transits to them have changed. (More on these dates:Transition hours of the Sun into the Zodiac Signs for 2014-15 )
The Sun will remain in Libra until November 23 at 15:40 GMT, then it will transit to Scorpio.
Those of you who have not yet found their true sign can do it right now at this link : Find your true Zodiac Sign.

The Full Moon will occur on November 6 in Aries with Jupiter in retrograde motion and Mars in trine aspect with the moon clouding even simple actions you might take..
New Moon is on November 22 in Libra just before the Sun crosses to Scorpio, something that is of particular importance since it shows ...

a double change in your life ..

But, let's go back to the transition of the Sun in Libra and its multiple meaning.
The time of occurrence of the phenomenon enjoys extreme astrological balance symbolized by the triangle aspects of many planets: Neptune to the Sun, Mercury with the Moon, Jupiter to Uranus. The interpretation of these triangles that occur simultaneously with the entry of the Sun in Libra is translated as follows: Despite the long period spent in a state of either joy or sadness, the transition into something new more mature and conscious, takes place smoothly and without conflict and jumps.

Can the Sun symbolizes the ego and our course in the world, and its stay in the 13 Zodiac signs of the sky showing the successive trials of life, but the change, when it comes, becomes redemptive for both you and those around you. The Sun in Virgo exhausted your thoughts about to exist through harmony and inner peace. Now the Sun in Libra symbolizes balance through intuition and the battle of opposites.

Everyone born in this period will be Sagittarius because what exactly determines your Zodiac sign, is the position of the Sun in a Zodiacal Constellation at the time and date of birth.

If you wish to find your real zodiac sign you should look on the tables 1930 - 2020 in the left menu of this web page.

On the tropical and equatorial and Fixed and disomy signs of the Zodiac

In the chapter entitled as above from Tetrabiblos, Claudius Ptolemy, the presumed founder of Horoscopic Astrology, tells us how and why the signs are divided into categories.
Each one of the 12 Zodiac Signs, Claudius Ptolemy believes that, occupy 30-degree arcs on the sky. Altogether we have 12 signs X 30 degrees = 360 degrees, a full circle. At points where the ecliptic intersects the celestial equator are the Equatorial Zodiac Signs: Aries and Libra. The Tropical zodiac Signs are at the summer solstice: Cancer and Capricorn at winter solstice.
Fixed features the author of the Tetrabiblos, 4 Signs that are post-tropical and post-equatorial ie: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. They are called Fixed because of the humidity, heat, dryness and coldness that began to install firmly in the previous Signs.
Finally Disoma are the Signs that follow the fixed: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces. They are named so because they lie between fixed and Equatorial or Tropical Zodiac Signs.
Modern Tropical Astrology left the category of the Fixed Signs the same and renamed Disoma to Variable. Equatorial merged with the tropical Zodiac Signs to the new class of the impulsive Signs.

In summary:
old name - new name - Zodiac signs
FIXED  -      FIXED -         Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
DISOMA  -   VARIABLES- Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces
TROPICAL - IMPULSIVE - Cancer, Capricorn
ISIMERINA  -IMPULSIVE -  Aries, Libra

Tropical Astrology accepted those supported by Claudius Ptolemy. They only changed some names but the substance, the method and the word remains the same.
Let's move on to the substance of the categories established by the Tropical Astrology to see whether they withstand scientific criticism.

Because of the precession of the Equinoxes, Heaven's dome has changed in relation to 100 AD So the signs of Aries and Libra that were Equatorial, today they have given their place in Pisces and Virgo. Because the path of the Sun crosses the celestial equator in Pisces and Virgo.
The summer solstice is now in Taurus and Winter solstice is in Sagittarius, so neither the Tropical Zodiacs are in the concept that was introduced by Ptolemy.
Hence the current category of impulsive left devoid of the cause that created it.
Needless to say that the two remaining categories did not apply because:
1. Aries is a fixed sign and not impulsive (as the next sign of Pisces)
2. Libra became fix from impulsive (as next of Virgo)
3. The Twins became fixed signs from variable (next of Taurus)
4. Capricorn became fixed from impulsive. (Next of Sagittarius)

Due to the motion of the Earth, the old classification is no longer valid. The Zodiac Constellations are 13 and the dates the Sun enters the signs have changed. This is no reason to stop dealing with astrology. Astrology just needs a new theory to adjusts its data to Astronomy's facts. Astrology Needs changes and winkle out from old dogmas.
"Astrology of the 13 signs of the Zodiac" is a new theory that removes the categorization of the constellations with the concept introduced by Claudius Ptolemy. It is putting Astrology in a new basis. News Signs have more autonomous features. The main criterion for Astrology is not to be opposed to Astronomy's data.
In my book "Astrology of the 13 signs of the Zodiac: Ophiuchus, the New sign of the zodiac circle" I'm answering a series of questions about the New Astrological Theory and explaining how to built the New Horoscope of the 13 Zodiac signs in a new more autonomous and scientific way.
