Sun goes into Scorpio...Moon will be in Pisces

Should be a fun month 🙂

What are some effects of the signs in these planets?

Everyone else should wear a tinfoil hat? 😉

Isn't that the Pleiades ?

And like-- the oldest artifact found in (I think) Wales?


Pretty cool, isn't it 🙂

so much water.

oops, I stand corrected.

Sun goes into Scorpio...Moon will be in CANCER

If the mercury in scorpio is in retrograde in one's natal chart, does that amplify the fun to be had? :-?

..sure it does, if one has merc in scorp in the eighth house, triple the fun!😉

😄

So L.I.B, is the Mercury Retrograde tripling your fun?
Is Merc in Retro in your chart?

No retros in my chart. Merc in Scorp in the 8th. So far has been exactly what I said..fun!

Mercury Retro ftw I don't ccaaaaarrreee what the nayers say and I must concur that this retrograde isn't as debilitating as some have predicted, what springs to mind and comes to light is brighter than bathing in tht full moon of aries not too long ago! (it was rather shiny and nice outside that night).🙂

Not debilitating at all. Scorp in Saturn keeping it in check maybe? Loving this placement too! (Saturn)

Correction: it was found in Germany.

Nebra Sky Disk

It is a bronze disc about 32 centimetres in diameter with a diagram of the heavens embossed onto it in gold. It shows representations of the sun, moon, Pleiades and three other crescents, two presumed to be horizon lines and the other a possible 'Solar Barge' at the bottom.

The disc was found on top of a mountain (The Mittelberg) in Germany, along with a horde of other 'Bronze-age' relics,
from which it is dated at c. 1,600 BC.

The disc was made by a race of people that lived in Europe before the arrival of the Celts, and is said
to be one of the oldest chart of the heavens in the world.

A group of German scholars who studied this archaeological gem has discovered evidence which suggests that the disc was used as a complex astronomical clock for the harmonization of solar and lunar calendars.

"The sensation lies in the fact that the Bronze Age people managed to harmonize the solar and lunar years. We never thought they would have managed that ... The functioning of this clock was probably known to a very small group of people..."

The Bronze Age astronomers would hold the Nebra clock against the sky and observe the position of the celestial objects. The intercalary month was inserted when what they saw in the sky corresponded to the map on the disc they were holding in their hands. This happened every two to three years.

According to astronomer Wolfhard Schlosser of the Rurh University at Bochum, the Bronze Age sky gazers already knew what the Babylonians would describe only a thousand years later.

Ahhh Libra in Saturn here so it's more a delicate tight rope walk, but the view is as interesting as anything else!
So Scorp Saturn is riding this retrograde out rather nicely?

I have cap in Saturn. I was talking about Saturn being Scorpio is having a very positive affect. (for myself anyway). Lots of loose ends being tied up and all coming together nicely.

*in Scorpio
