11 AM PST the Moon’s conjunct Neptune, and soon thereafter conjunct Chiron. Can we separate these two conjunctions? or must Neptune/ Chiron blend into a stringy, sticky fondue that coats the emotions (mmm, cheese metaphors!) We can separate them, oh so carefully, as they are almost an entire degree apart; that means that it’s a little like a one-two punch (or maybe nudge, or gentle smothering with a soft pillow!) The emotions undergo an exercise with these two contacts, the first likely testing the emo connection to reality via ideals and a review of what’s fantasy, what’s fact, followed immediately by an emo response of wounding or a bringing forth of skills to deal with disparities. There can be another response, one where the intuition is fully activated and connected to the Cosmos, and this offers a hotline to answers sought and insights desired, with a really strong link to activating the Chirotic skills, perhaps at an elevated, transpersonal level. A great aspect, if you can rock it!

Venus moves into 00 Sagittarius, with an interesting result–we take a sudden turn from the sex drive (in whatever form that might take, meaning it’s the passionate focus we’ve recently maintained) to a gaze that focuses on the horizon, to a want for more freedom in relationship, to an idea that value is found ‘out there’–and this is always an abrupt shift when Venus moves from Scorpio to Sag–just orient yourself to the inevitable change to what attracts your attention, and you won’t be thrown.

After Michelle at AstroFix pointed out the wrong date in the title (Thanks Michelle!) I realized that I’d actually projected a year ahead, not back to December 2010–so as an exercise, I’m going to look at everything today as carrying a special message about where I’ll be next December–you might want to try it, too!
