8:30 AM PDT the Cancer Moon squares Saturn, perhaps stopping us dead in our tracks; or, the Universe presents obstacles and our first reaction is to bash our head against the wall, trying to get through! Conflict between our feelings and some Saturnian thing (authorities, rules, our own fears?) is inevitable. Navigate with care, and yet don’t spend too much energy in resistance–it’s a matter where patiently walking around the wall is a lot more effective than trying to push it down on your own.
Just after 11 PM PDT we hit a jackpot, of sorts: the Moon squares Juno, opposes Pallas, and quincunxes Neptune. Will we be sucked into a power struggle despite our better judgment, deluded about how another may threaten empowerment? Or will we be fighting for status based on an illusory idea of who may bestow it? Or will we be feeling powerless, projecting the wisdom that shows a way out on someone else, based on our image of them? Well, none of those sound very fun–let’s instead look at how our emotional approach to someone or something may be not only unwise but keeping us from our own empowerment in the matter. The illusion can be pierced at this time–that would be a much better way to spend our time and energy pennies ![]()

This is a marvelous image. So rich and saturated in color (not to mention detail)…plus with a smidgeon of humor. 🙂 Great expressions, too.
Well, my dear, the first house showing was canceled by the potential buyers for today–so it turns out another day, another showing is in order. I know I’m being totally unrealistic and idealistic to expect the first buyer and first showing to produce a quick sale. Totally nutso, but I guess that is where my mind is.
Now to just sit back for a moment to rest from recent efforts with my cup o’ warm coffee.
I hope you have a bitchin’ rest of the week, Julie!
Hugs,
MM
Hi MM!
I loved the crispness of this painting, too–seemed to me very lively for a static image!
Selling a house is very wearing, up and down and up and down, with each event making for so much hope, and if it doesn’t magically result immediately in a sale, it’s like (physically, even) being dashed against the rocks each time. Settle back with your coffee (I’m going to ‘long distance’ join you, in just a minute!) and remember, all is as it should be–but you already know that 🙂
You have a bitchin’ week, too, m’dear!
Hugs,

The Moon/Juno/Pallas/Neptune aspect you’ve described just happens to be part of my Solar Return, so thanks for the interpretation – I’ll consider it a heads-up! Not only that, but the Moon is conjunct this year’s SR Ascendant by less than 1 degree, with Pallas on the Descendant; both points represent the midpoints of my chart’s exact Sun opposite BM Lilith/Sedna aspect (I’m about to have my BM Lilith Return as well). It’s looking to be an “interesting” year, so I very much appreciated reading your insights this morning.
Thanks again, Julie! Your messages often speak to me and I take them to heart.
Thank you, LB, and happy (upcoming?) Solar Return!
