It might currently seem as if (so to speak) the wind is blowing in a highly specific direction, prompting us to rush forward without delay; I suspect, however, that this New Moon may be inviting us at minimum to take time for reflection, ground ourselves, and listen to our bodies and hearts, which offer better information than late-stage capitalism would have us believe.

From Wiki: “The names ǂKá̦gára and ǃHãunu are from the mythology of the ǀXam people of South Africa. ǂKá̦gára and his brother-in-law ǃHãunu fought an epic battle in the east using thunder and lightning, producing mountainous clouds and rain. The conflict was fought over ǂKá̦gára’s returning his younger sister, ǃHãunu’s wife, to their parents.”

Scorpio New Moon 2024: Minor Planet Report

Let’s face it: the forthcoming U.S. presidential election is – to put it mildly – causing some tension. This lunation chart reflects the uncertainty and unease many of us are feeling, in large part thanks to a configuration between Mars, Pluto and Juno, known as a T-square, in the often fraught final (anaretic) degrees of Cancer, Capricorn and Libra respectively.
