Scorpio New Moon | Paris, Nov. 12, 2004, 4:16 p.m. I watched the funeral of Yasser Arafat with some amazement, noticing how it coincided exactly with the Scorpio New Moon. Here were my comments in Planet Waves Weekly, which went out a little while ago: One thing is certain, no matter what his personal legacy: thanks to him, the plight of the Palestinian people will never be forgotten. As I write, I am watching the arrival of Arafat's casket at his Ramallah headquarters amidst a vast surge of Palestinian humanity. This happens under the influence of the exact Scorpio New Moon, conjunct the centaur planet Hylonome. Scorpio is usually considered to be the sign of death and rebirth; Hylonome is a planet that is associated with grieving and the healing of grief. That this New Moon is taking place at the moment of Arafat's return to Ramallah is a positively stunning expression of astrological symbolism. This seems to be such a strong horoscope and its alignment with world events so powerful that I think Arafat's passing will have effects that are far and wide. What a moment... what a few weeks in world history. I feel truly privileged to be a journalist and in a position to comment on these developments -- but I'm one sleepy journalist so I'm going to keep this a short entry today, bid farewell to someone who was clearly a champion of his people, and hope that they work things out in the Middle-East before Dr. Strangelove moves in on the place. By the way -- have you seen that film? Most people have, but if you have not, you're in for a really amazing treat. It's in every video store from here to Timbuktu.
