Today the Sun and Ceres are conjunct, and the Moon’s conjunction to Pallas, followed by her square to Saturn (noon to 4 PM Pacific) all emphasize the same theme: issues of who knows best, who holds authority, and who’s in charge are paramount. This is a good time to think about what authority you want, and who’s in charge of what, particularly when it comes to your personal life–but don’t show your hand just yet–only think on it.
10 PM PST brings a trine of the Moon to Sedna, and the celebrated ‘blind spot’–just accept that emotion and intuition are currently on the fritz, and agree with others to ‘know we don’t know’ (or maybe that’s ‘feel’)! By 7:30 AM of the 1st of February, the Moon will conjunct Mercury, and be within the midpoint of Venus/ Neptune (which is of course also occupied by Merc). This is a seminal moment for creative types–take note of what comes to mind right now, as the Dark period, combined with these elements, makes for extra-open access to the creative and to the unconscious (which we all know is where all the best stuff is kept!) I hope you’ll join me in the new ECLIPSE newsletter service (sign up at right), for weekly forecasts, articles, and access to the protected page here at the blog. Thanks!

JD, where do you find all these lovely paintings?
Many are from Wikimedia commons, but anything where the artist has been dead at least 70 years is generally considered usable in the public domain (when it is a photographic representation of a two-dimensional work that doesn’t alter the image in any significant way). Once in a while I find a lovely photo that’s been released by someone (I used one in the newsletter and added a non-mandatory credit). Thanks for asking, Neeti!

Awesome. I hope so. I had really intense dreams last night. The Moon is traveling through my 5th right now.

I like how it’s about gemini & aquarius w/o mentioning, gemini the mercury conq, (twins traveling!) and Aquarius is thread we know it’s holding the piece together but it’s not dropped on the head only subtley shining like sun in Feburary.

I’m with you, AstroFix. My dreams have been like a checklist lately, rich and dramatic reworkings of entire relationships, each one complete. By morning the thought is checked off the list!

when swans were white the expression was, “that’s about as likely as finding a black swan,” reports from australia were ignored, nature can’t play such a trick.
Amor the discussion about angles can be generalized, I mean they hold true w/ many configs. add a pinch of Amor and it’s a greater truth.
I’m happy w/ the aquarius sun, even w/ the natal sun square, better in air and fire except pisces but pisces is O+, universal compatability.
Anyway about Eqypt, I’m afraid it will fizzel on the NM, everyone will want to go home, take a shower and re-think.
And it’s important not to disregard the strength of Hosni Mubarak. The FM, taurus sun/scorpio moon, (trine pluto/cancer) has many lives, with mercury conq. sun the exterior remains flat while emotions are in full fight mode. Mars in pisces can effectively hide, (plaincloths police) and trans Jupiter moving towards his natal Uranius have people weighing the advantages of keeping his power structure in place. This person has a lot of the royal, (i sense a leo AC), fire of Sadam hussain, saturn/sag; venus/aries and feels very ‘old world bad guy’ . pluto in cancer for crips sake!
anyway thanks I expecially love amor! stars, asteroids archs are all good and new for me.
Thank you, Lucy. Good points about Mubarak. I’ve never heard the expression about black swans being unlikely/non-existent–puts it in a new light, doesn’t it?

mubarak’s speech was self-serving, pitying and tipically taurian, smartly playing on emotional connections. And, crafty as he is it worked! Old farmers advise: never corner anything meaner than you. Don’t give him his power back warning! warning! Mubarak’s venus& jupiter are joined in Aries(27/23) and trans libra/saturn won’t really straighten out untill Oct, while trans jupiter is helping him all through the spring and summer.
I’m sure you are right.
