I did think hard before using the word 'killer' new moon in yesterday's post, but here's my thinking.  Saturn opposite Uranus brings on the one hand the sudden breakdown of rigid structures and on the other hand the bringing of a flexible stability into what is normally chaos.  This manifests every 42/3 years as a time of social unrest and change.  Whilst this transit takes two years to clear properly, the time of now (mid August to mid October) with retrograde Mercury never far away from Saturn is the strongest time of this opposition, and the new Moon (Sun conjunct Moon) is on top of Saturn on the 18th of this month.  New Moons are traditionally times of new beginnings, of sowing as opposed to reaping, and I'm sure that new beginnings clearly evident in a year or three will look back to this month as the initiator of their evolution.  But this is not a normal new Moon.  Social unrest, economic inequality and political impotence are exposing the moral corruption and spiritual bankruptcy of our present system, and something new must emerge, probably without the concept of profit as its central tenet (shock horror!).  The idea of permanent gain at the expense of others is the fundamental flaw at the root of humanity, and it needs eliminating.  I suspect that this coming new Moon will bring evidence of how this may manifest, either willingly or kicking and screaming.  And there will be a gasp, a shudder as the old expires.....
