The Moon’s Gemini characteristics come through loud and clear through the 2 PM hour PST; it’s talk, it’s mental, it’s light, it’s a wee bit frenetic, it’s charming. Don’t over think ‘it’ at this time; just go with the Gemmy flow!

2:30 PM of the 20th PST the Moon quincunxes Ceres, and it becomes clear that adjustments must be made to what nature or authority requires. Don’t let this spoil your week–it’s necessary to acknowledge that some things must be honored, no matter how these disturb our best-laid plans!

Around 6 PM PST, Moon squares Jupiter, squares Juno, squares Uranus, effectively forming a T that funnels social, empowerment, and group or individual autonomy matters through the emotions and intuition. We can believe we’re sensing (about others, the group, or our own empowerment choices) what’s really just an emotional reaction to what we’re faced with–and with concurrent trines of the Moon to Neptune and Chiron, it’s easy to see how our own proclivities for accepting wishful thinking and/ or believing another’s deceptions could convince us that we’re on to some course that’s supported by intuitive perceptions. The best alternative in this instance may be to take a step back from our own racing minds and recognize that there are factors influencing us that we can’t deal with on a purely mental basis (Gemini) and that we are too prone to subtle and nefarious influences (Neptune/ Chiron) to settle any empowerment questions or inquiries about our group role at this time.

Total Lunar Eclipse 21 December 2010 12:13 AM PST 29 Gemini 20

The Sabian for the Moon/ Earth conjunction is, ‘A Parade of Bathing Beauties Before Large Beach Crowds’  As a symbol of Lunar promise (with an influence to last through to the next eclipse set in 6 months), it suggests attractive individuals showing their ‘stuff,’ so to speak, before the masses. In very straightforward terms, it promises an atmosphere where we are either one of the Beauties, drawing attention and receiving scrutiny as we show our assets (!) or we are part of the crowd, watching and assessing. The likelihood is that we will all take turns, sometimes being ‘on parade,’ sometimes merely observing. Since no real skill is involved in this image, what we must conclude is that it’s what we might call ‘God-given’ facets of our Beingness that are on display, things that are just part of who we are, and that are considered desirable by the social order in which we participate. Added to the Sun’s Sabian, ‘The Pope Blessing the Faithful,’ the message could be that purely physical/ material assets that are innate may pull the individual in a direction opposite to one that promises a reward within a hierarchy (a ‘religion’ as represented by the figure of the Pope) that measures not by the physical but by what it deems devotion (and this is the key, that the hierarchy wants to call the shots) to their version of the spiritual/ devotional–which makes the hierarchy almost anti-spiritual in its demands.
