Scorpio Full Moon Opposite Asbolus

April 20, 2008 by Tracy

The Full Moon is at 10:25:23 UT today at 0° Scorpio 42′52″. Minor planet chart here.

This Moon, exactly conjunct asteroid Klotho, is quincunx (simply cannot relate to) Vesta on the Aries point. It sextiles Pluto-Juno-Diana, which are all hovering near the cusp of Capricorn (all retrograde, squaring Vesta), and sextiles Saturn-Okyrhoe on the cusp of Virgo. The Sun, opposite at 0° Taurus, is conjunct centaur Asbolus and asteroid Phaethon. Thus we have a kite of Sun, Pluto, Saturn and Moon.

The kite formation would suggest the Moon is the way out of the mire. But to go back to basics, a Full Moon, Sun opposite Moon, symbolises a tension between spirit and soul, like an internal split, which can feel much like when you were a small child listening to Mum and Dad fight. There are various ways to approach an opposition, but Asbolus conjunct the Sun implies to me a sort of transcendent approach. Maybe. This is not how Asbolus is usually described, but I’m not talking about anything misty or Piscean. I mean seeing the paradox from a slightly removed perspective with absolute clarity, i.e., from a point somewhere above the chart. I think Asbolus can point you away from the struggle itself, back to the awareness that watches it (which is the one constant).

Asbolus used to watch the birds.
