5 AM PDT of the 12th the Moon quincunxes Vesta in Aquarius. The emotional reality may be challenged by the highest ideals and all matters sacred; Adjustment is the best course here–living up to your ‘best Self’ insures no bad aftertaste
By 7 AM PDT the Moon is conjunct Juno and quincunx Pallas; this makes us feel, well, emotionally invincible–and yet a soft, interior voice tells us we need to adjust our attitude ‘just so’ in order to remain on the ‘wisdom path.’ Don’t be too proud, or too convinced that inflexibility equals strength, to take advantage of that subtle but very smart guidance.
Just after 6 PM Pacific the Moon trines the Sun in Earth. It’s a point in the day to enjoy your surroundings, eat a good meal, see to your own and others’ physical comfort. This can be a respite that allows regeneration and true rest; no matter what you’re doing at this point, I hope you’ll do something that allows rejuvenation. By 8 PM the Moon trines Sedna, and suddenly we’re in an emotional blind; we may be keenly aware that, like hunters hiding, waiting for prey, we are peering out but we, and our emotional perceptions, really can’t be seen by others–and that may feel lonely and a bit disorienting. Relax, and occupy yourself–like all Moon aspects, this passes with only a few hours effect.
A hunter’s blind is a shelter usually constructed of natural materials, intended to blend into nature, that is located in an area where wildlife is known to gather, and allows hunters to be in close proximity to their prey.

Julie; it seems the couple are painted in studio, rural surround a background choice, rather wide angle, rows of cut wheat can’t quite make it to the back-ground, their figures are flat against a tree that is supposed to be huge, leaves overly small, lack honesty compaired to the trees who’s leaves are virtually the same size at the end of the field. So it’s very amusing. Love the lady like pose, alice blue and fresh faces.
Hi Lucy, I know what you mean; I thought of it as distortion in the painter’s eye, the way one thing will be painted super-realistically, other things not so–but I’m sure you’re right, it’s a background for dandy pretenders who probably don’t do their own chores at all–but all the same affect, I think–as you say, very amusing 🙂
