From The Editor, Naraya Naserian

Dear First name / TOTAMS Friend,

The New Moon at 16°53' Scorpio, beautifully interpreted by our colleague Susan DeRyder, is upon us on Monday, November 9, 7:02 UTC. For this and more reasons, the Scopio and Libra Mystery Schools are at the forefront of our attention this month. Venus, still retrograde, rose into her Libra Overstory morning star phase on October 30, and Mercury, also retrograde, will navigate Scorpionic waters as of November 13, when both planets station direct. Mercury and Venus being in the interior underworld together and both stationing direct on the same day, that is a very rare occurrence indeed!

Follow the deep dive into Daniel's research, outlined in his Ramblings, Reflections and Ruminations, to get the full data download. It is intended to inform, and also inspire you to do your own research and help bring forth new and unique contributions to the Astrology of The Turning of The Ages!

With all this in heart and mind, I ventured out early this morning to be in ceremony with a very special night sky occurrence: For the first time since her rising into the Libra Overstory, Venus was met by the thinnest waning crescent Moon. Right next to her, Spica is rising too, while high above, the line-up of Mars, Jupiter and Regulus in the Lion constellation is not less dazzling and will soon warrant it's own special attention!

Spica, the brightest star in the Priestess Constellation, has often been described by the ancients as a stellar stand-in for Venus, i.e. the Sacred Feminine in all of us, which Daniel, who surely is a Spica devotee, variously points out in his writings, for instance here, here, and here. Type ‘Spica’ into the search box at the bottom of our website and see what comes up!

In any case, as Daniel also writes in his Ramblings,

Ramblings, Reflections and Ruminations

The current situation of Mercury and Venus both retrograde, and thus in the process of birthing into new synodic Overstories, has generated much speculation and inquiry within the astrological community. As evidenced by my most recent Founder’s Vlog and Wizard Weeklies, that very much includes myself and TOTAMS. With regards to this situation, I recently put out a request for more extensive research beyond the 2000-2032 time frame that I had already explored. Always on the lookout for patterns, I have in particular been interested in the pattern of Venus and Mercury retrograde at the same time, and when both these planets are in the interior underworld at the same time. A woman who follows the school by the name of Anita Cox answered the call! This article discusses the findings.

Shedding and Descending, by Susan DeRyder

This past weekend, cultures across the world observed honoring our ancestors in intentional ceremonies and rituals for Dia De Los Muertos, Halloween, Allhallowtide (Christian) … name it what you will. The time is upon us to recognize the absolutely essential cycle of life and death that keeps this wheel turning and allows for us all to be here at all. We can resist it all we like –

keep those lights on past dark, change the clocks to make the act of getting up before sunrise during a season of rest seem more normal …

and yet the leaves are telling us that a great shedding is upon us.
