Just before 9 AM there’s a quincunx to the North Node–more assessment of direction–odd that we’re so focused on life accomplishment at what for many is a holiday time–or maybe that’s the point, we’re in an acute period of nostalgia and the need to measure our deeds along the life course, if only so we are sure of who we are (Leo Moon).

By quarter past 1 of the PM Pacific the Moon quincunxes Pluto–do we need this unsettling cr*p so close to what is for many a holiday patch? What’s stirring us up? Look to the House where Pluto is transiting for info on what recurring problem or upset will pop up time and again for us in this period. For instance, 4th House transit of Pluto suggests family is the problem, 3rd says communication or siblings, 9th says religion, something ‘foreign’ or at a distance–those are just some possibilities. The need for change is compelled and compelling–making changes willingly can bring the transformation at least partly under our control.

That’s the prevailing influence; see more on the Private Pages, Only for ECLIPSE Readers–get your password and magazine at Dog & Sunflower Press, under Fall ECLIPSE (Sorry, links still aren’t working!!)
