Nocturnos: Full Moon in Scorpio

The full moon in Scorpio combined with the repeated Mercury Retrograde in Gemini (Mercury was retrograde in  Gemini last May-June 2008) is sure to stir up a few skeletons if not full-on insomnia. The depths are stirring, and the ghosts of our past are forcing us to listen. As the old Sufi saying goes "Die before you die." The fixed polarity of Scorpio and Taurus can keep us clinging to that which destroys us, even if killing us softly. Let's see what the gods of music have to say about what needs to be relinquished or transformed during this full moon (please note: this is a totally random as in an I Ching-esque synchronistic fashion with the modern shuffle function in my I-Tunes.)

Aries:

"Lake of Fire"

Meat Puppets

Now the people cry and the people moan

And they look for a dry place to call their home

And try to find some place to rest their bones

While the angels and the devils

Fight to claim them for their own

Taurus:

"Hysteric" 

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

No Longer No Longer

What You Ask

Strange Steps

Heels Turned Black

The cinders the cinders

They light the path

Of these strange steps

Take us back

Gemini:

 

"White as Snow"

 U2

Once I knew there was a love divine 

Then came a time I thought it knew me not 

Who can forgive forgiveness where forgiveness is not 

Only the lamb as white as snow 

Cancer:

"Passionless Pointless" 

PJ Harvey

Let's talk, let's talk

Let the dirt fall, let heads roll

No kind hand is reaching out, for me, tonight

I slept facing the wall, I dreamt of buildings in pieces

You slept, facing the wall, and you wanted less than I wanted

Leo:

"Blue" 

Joni Mitchell

Underneath the skin

An empty space to fill in

Well there're so many sinking now

You've got to keep thinking

You can make it thru these waves

Virgo:

"New"

No Doubt

And you're consuming me violently

And your reverence shamelessly tempting me

Who sent this maniac?

'Cause I never had this taste in the past

Libra:

"Old Age"

Nirvana

One more doubt here to claim my supper

I can have anything you want to

One more day if I find a way

It's over

She seemed to read minds

And I know we were out of time

Scorpio:

"The Hollow" 

APC

Cause it's time to bring the fire down

Bridle all this indiscretion

Long enough to edify

And permanently fill this hollow

Screaming feed me here

Fill me up again

Sagittarius:

"Passenger"

Deftones

To catch my breath

And then go and go and go just drive me

Home and back again

Here I lay just like always

Don't let me go 

Take me to the edge

Capricorn:

"Alive" 

Pearl Jam

Is something wrong, she said

Well of course there is

Youre still alive, she said

Oh, and do I deserve to be

Is that the question

And if so...if so...who answers.

Aquarius:

"Send Her My Love"

Journey

Callin out her name I'm dreamin

Reflections of a face I'm seein

It's her voice

That keeps on haunting me

Send her my love

Roses never fade

Memories remain

Pisces:

"Love" 

The Cult

Oh don't you love that sweet time

Spent a long time in this town

Spent a long time in the wrong town

Spent a long time in this hole

Spent a long time in the wrong hole
