Well, I almost went to NORWAC http://www.astrologyetal.com/NORWAC/index.htm; a couple of weeks ago I was totally up for it. I was ready to contact some people, buy tickets, and socialize. It certainly would’ve been great to hear, and perhaps meet, so many people I admire, and surely there’s a lot I could’ve learned. But then I hesitated, and when I hesitate I assume that it’s some part of me that knows better, that is telling me there’s something more suited to me–and though I’m enjoying the Twitter reporting, I’m really glad I didn’t go, as my day here at home has been wonderful, and all I really did was sleep in (dreaming about teeny tiny babies the size of eensy, shiny, white-curled shells, a human spiral) and then sit in the dining room where we have a big pine table and big windows that face the gardens, where I’ve watched the smallest hummingbird I’ve ever seen, a small, black-headed finch that lives somewhere in this corner of the yard–I see him all the time, and he even goes around there when I’m there, too–and the big black crows that love to bring bread to the stone bird bath and leave soggy bits in their wake. For me all this, the choosing of what seems illogical and even unproductive, over the logical and expected, is an example of how, even though there was something before me that seemed absolutely right (going to a professional conference), following my instincts was personally the ‘right’ thing to do. I try to follow my prompts every time they come forward, and I hope you will, too–it’s one of the most useful and Soul-supporting skills I ever developed.

Maybe my morning’s experience is just symptomatic of the Capricorn Moon’s contact to Ceres, offering me a chance to connect with Mother Nature. This contact, at 2:30 PMish PDT and lasting about two hours total, also brings a trine to Vesta, suggesting to me that this was my time of worship–and that others too have a chance to meld with what’s sacred to them, to enjoy home, or sex, or deep communion–not a bad way to kick off the weekend at all!

The evening Pacific time belongs to Pluto. In Capricorn this might bring forward intense but enjoyable times, as the emotional outlook of Moon conjunct Pluto is balanced by the Cap energy. Some serious (in the best sense) progress can be made in whatever area the conjunction occurs for you. A quincunx to the Sun 3 AMish PDT on the 30th (and see excerpts from ECLIPSE, below) suggests that the evening’s events will ask for some emotional reckoning via a reality check.

Starting around 8 AM PDT we have, in quick succession, the Moon square Zeus, conjunct the North Node and opposed Venus, then trine Mercury. This sets a tone of perhaps being presented with the obstacle to our ambition (or at least, being presented with how thwarted ambitions and desires make us feel), an emotional bellwether that gives a glimpse into the direction we’re headed, and just precisely what this may cost us if we continue (or bring us as a reward), and finally we may receive information or communicate ourselves concerning the life path, our options, and what we want. Could be a seminal moment in terms of re-defining ourselves to more readily express true intents and purpose. The rest of the day is dominated by this emotional scenario; use the knowledge that’s come forward, and the intuitions that have been offered, to make the most of things.
