‘Woman Visiting the Shrine at Night’ Suzuki Harunobu Edo Period 18th century {{PD}}

25 November there are two ways we can go: one is action and choices based on instinct and a mentality that is keenly attuned to reality and sees clearly any obstacles to our most effective means of empowerment—and the other is driven by fear of punishment by authorities and delusions about what love feels like. As I’m sure you see, one is top-notch for taking care of business and fostering good choices and healthy Self-esteem, and the other works out of pure woundedness, and so will prove to mess things up monumentally. Take a deep breathe, and don’t assume that either is in the works for you; you can determine which you fall under, and of course you want the positive spin, if you’ll only refuse to act out of fear, or in any way that will bring anything other than Love into your sphere.

'A Love Story' E Phillips Fox 1903 {{PD-Art}}

‘A Love Story’ E Phillips Fox 1903 {{PD-Art}}

A bit on the Uranus-Pluto square:

During the period Uranus and Pluto have been squaring up and moving apart, we’ve been given what amounts to ‘free samples’, tastes of our own uniqueness, from deep within, with the point of allowing us to experiment, try on, and choose what new characteristics we’ll be adding to our repertoire to carry us into the future. (This wasn’t the initial major effect of Uranus-Pluto, but instead an emerging influence that will be shaping our future—and so takes on much more significance as we near the end of the Cardinal contact period). Add to this slow-motion transformation the significant thinning of the veil we experienced early in the month, and what we have is a psychic culture where what we imagine, what we idealize, what we fear, and what we are and hope to be, are accessible and realizable in ways we haven’t previously enjoyed, or even imagined.

And for Sunday:

24 November we may find ourselves wrestling with some dark and perverse demons today, the kind that delude us about who we are and make us walk away from our own natural place and power. We do best if we keep our eye on core values or on developed skills; both can ground us in at least a partial sense of identity and competence, and avoiding confrontation with the group is a good idea, too. Though the landscape may be hard to make out, or a complete mirage, we just need to concentrate on our piece of things as represented by those values and skills. Be especially careful as what we see ‘out there’ may not at all be what we get, and decisions are best left until (at least a few days) later. (Ceres sesquiquadrate Sedna, Uranus opposed Ceres, Sun-Earth axis square Neptune)

And something to contemplate:

“The worst of doing one’s duty was that it apparently unfitted one for doing anything else.”

19 November brings big, confident, or caring action, assertions of Will supported by the social sphere, and more energy than we are likely to be able to get our minds around, which means we’ll probably wear ourselves down to a nubbin. (Mars sextile Jupiter, Mercury quincunx Uranus, perfects today)

When you get tired, rest, like the lady above. That is all.

4 AM PST of the 18th the Gemini Moon trines Ceres and quincunxes Mercury, making emotions flow in words and thoughts, and expressions of power and co-operation with authorities come ‘naturally’. Easy communication of what we feel happens without any effort–but if we want to keep our feelings to ourselves, better to spend a few hours in isolation, as Merc in Scorpio, Ceres in Libra, and Moon in Gemini are all motivated to share, and just can’t hide what they think. 8 AM PST the Moon sextiles Uranus; sudden shocks, surprises, and emotional outbursts may accompany intellectual exchange or group involvement. 9:30 AM PST the Moon squares Chiron and quincunxes Pluto. Destructive choices or rage hurt inadvertently–if we choose to see these as transformative, instead, we may find significant healing within what feels like an otherwise negative situation. 4 PM PST the Moon trines Juno and quincunxes Venus. Empowerment rests in being flexible, largely with ‘the rules’ we are used to in relationship or values. In this case, bending with the breeze is good, and won’t make for any permanent change, which is the fear that sparks our resistance in the first place. 9 PM PST the Moon quincunxes Saturn and trines Zeus. Now we’re asked to be flexible with reality itself, in service to fulfilling our ambitions or desires. Okay, why not?

Today’s image is a goldfish–swimming not in a bowl, but in the air! There’s something surreal about events and perceptions today–try to take it all in without reaction or judgment, and let all but what’s crucial to you in the moment go.

The Lovely Bones: Venus Meets Pluto in Capricorn

Venus-Pluto is, especially right now, an interesting combo; I’m imagining all that Pluto has unearthed in Capricorn now receiving a balm of Love–or will we instead see just what stirring up the status quo has cost? These two get together and the intensity, even in an Earth sign, can be overwhelming–we must ask, Why so serious?

No doubt about it, today and tomorrow we’ll spend scraping to the bone in relationships, and we may try to cut costs to their skeletal minimum; the impulse to excavate what we treasure may cause untold (even permanent) damage, but there’s also the chance that secrets that have moldered in the dark for far too long will come to light–and so might those sources of Love, Money, or those catalysts for change we have been unaware of or frightened of, until now.

The current meeting of Venus and Pluto in Capricorn may quite easily get all mixed up with other influences lingering near the same degree across the zodiac: Chiron, Uranus, even near midnight Pacific time, the Moon. Don’t accept erratic or wounding events as having a Venus-Pluto origin; if this duo wanted to wound, it would be fatal.

Don’t take anything in the Love or resources department for granted at this time, and certainly, if you can, shine a little love into the darkness; in Capricorn Venus-Pluto will embrace their passions and turn them into something solid, reliable, sturdy–and sometimes that’s much better than just stealing kisses in the dark.

14 November we are in danger of forgetting what we care about, particularly in the areas of finances and relationships, and suffering a concurrent insistence on ‘being ourselves’ we may be erratic, unreliable, irritating, or just plain contrary, and so hurt those around us. The problem is, we lose touch with our deepest nature, temporarily, and instead of taking it down a notch so that we can gather our essence and re-orient ourselves, we turn it up to ’11’ and create our own special chaos. Best way to avoid problems is to employ skills in ways we are uniquely gifted or experienced, so that all that ‘original’ energy has somewhere creative and useful to go.

Just a Little AstroEssence 13 November 2013: A Loving Cup

'The Loving Cup' by Rossetti 1867 {{PD-Art}}

‘The Loving Cup’ by Rossetti 1867 {{PD-Art}}

13 November Venus trines the South Node, and each of us receives a ‘Loving Cup’ (a ‘trophy’ or reward) from the past. This will take a Venusian form (though that form may be intangible) and will act as a sort of unexpected bonus, centered in some activity or connections from the past. Just enjoy it, when it comes. (Venus trine the South Node)

And a taste of the Lunar essence from the Daily:

Noon Pacific time the Aries Moon squares Venus and quincunxes the North Node. This can bring relationship or financial upsets that may have much farther reaching consequences than we realize–and that could be an actual rejection of that Venusian reward promised by Venus’s contact with the South Node. We may not recognize our ‘Loving Cup’ when it’s presented to us–which should give us pause as we realize how easily we may refuse opportunity, gratitude, or promise, mistaking it for something else.

Get it all in an ECLIPSE subscription, at less than $7 per month! Order now and I’ll include the complete eclipse report for the just-past events–their effects reverberate through and set a tone for the coming 6 months–so what are you waiting for?

'A Planet as Big as its Star' Artist's concept by NASA {{PD}}

‘A Planet as Big as its Star’ Artist’s concept by NASA {{PD}}

I’m taking off for a few days in celebration of my 29th wedding anniversary; all comments, orders, and correspondence will be held starting morning of the 9th Pacific time until evening of the 11th. Should you find you enjoy this sampler and/ or find it useful, you may want to subscribe and get the full Weekly, the Daily forecast and Daily Image, and free, optional lessons and very-low cost services, delivered right to your email! 

9 November Pallas moves into Virgo; the inclination is to be smart and practical, no-nonsense, to take a full accounting of what we have and how to use it–but no, we get a little loopy, a little impulsive, believing any fairy tale we hear–and so perhaps putting ourselves in a bad spot with authorities, Mother Nature, or in a situation where we really should try and negotiate. Channel creative energy into proven outlets or concrete manifestations, and make an overt effort to remain firmly aware of reality–these two measures will keep us out of the worst trouble, and could result in some truly inspired creations or creative ‘forms’ (Neptune quincunx, Earth sesquiquadrate Ceres, Mars sextile Saturn, Mercury trine Neptune)

1 AM PST of the 10th the Aquarius Moon quincunxes Jupiter, asking us to adjust our emotional engagement with the social sphere. It’s an intellectual need as much as it is an emotional one–at the least we should pull back and re-consider any expansion attempts we have underway. 6:30 AM PST the Moon squares Sedna. We may hit an emotional ‘blind spot’ that inspires us to make a ‘wrong move’ (or just a clumsy one). Remove emotion from the action equation at this time. 1 PM PST the Moon quincunxes Vesta. We intuit exactly what we must modify in the intimate relationship, on the home front, or concerning those areas we dedicate our lives to. Adjustment can be quiet and easy, if attended to now–I wouldn’t recommend we wait to make changes, as the next aspect between these two is an opposition–and of course, we’d do better to head a confrontation off at the pass. Void begins at 3:11 PM PST; the Moon enters Pisces at 6:37 PM PST. Luna opposes Pallas; we are shocked by the overwhelming immediacy of our needs, and of our desire to escape, which is clearly unwise. Look outside the Self for some anchoring influences, and a little sensible input. 10 PM PST the Moon conjuncts Neptune and trines Mercury, the latter of which is stationary direct. Flights of fantasy concerning future potentials grab our attention; enjoy them, and study them, for what they can tell you about what you truly want in life. Midnight the Moon quincunxes Ceres in Libra. Nature takes over in relationship–it’s that simple, and direct.

The image for the 11th is a very white cow standing in a very green meadow. The purity of the assets we work with and the areas we work in may be coming into question right now. We’d be wise to note that nothing is as hypernaturally unadulterated as we would hope, and yet we must do our best to maintain an atmosphere that allows the cells to grow in a healthy manner. Instead of railing against things we can do nothing about on a personal level, we can not only add our voices to the cause of a healthy ecology, we can stop one or two of those Self-destructive habits that make our railing about the environment look just a little bit contradictory, at the least.

12 November BIG opportunities come along, but there’s some chafing between our ambitions and what we know to be wise. In wanting to take advantage of the openings that we see, we must take care not to do something we otherwise know is stupid. I think that’s pretty clear. Look to the space Jupiter is now transiting in the natal chart for clues as to what area this opportunity may present itself in, and keep in mind that Jupiter will already be retrograde–that stupid thing we may be tempted to do may actually be a very smart thing, if we’ll only wait until Jupiter is once again direct to do it. (Pallas semi-square Zeus, Sun trine Jupiter)

Enjoy your weekend, and thank you!

7 November we get a break–or is it an illusion? Venus sextiles Neptune, offering a ‘dream come true’ scenario–the real question will be, can we believe our eyes? That is a purely individual matter, dependent on how and where transiting Neptune is impacting the natal chart right now; should there be indications that you are being swayed by delusion, deception, or fantasy, then proceed carefully with the opportunities offered today; either the potential isn’t what you think, or the promised outcome isn’t–and either way, it could cost. Best guidance is to keep ideals front and center–little will go wrong if you do.

Just a Little on Venus in Capricorn 2013

‘The Laundress’, a perfectly Capricornian image from a perfectly Venus in Capricorn guy–Toulouse-Lautrec 1884-1888 {{PD}}

5 November Venus enters Capricorn. This can be a teeth-grinding, jaw-clenching transit, just because Venus is not super-comfortable following the rules (though she does love to be fair, as long as she gets hers!) being restricted, doing things because they’ve always been done that way, or putting on her frumpiest, as she’s expected to get down on her knees (a Cappy-ruled body bit) and work hard. This transit can be tough if we have a natal Venus that is essentially undisciplined, that just wants what she wants and is used to sating her appetites whenever she pleases. The good thing is, once Venus bothers to climb into those work clothes, she may end up making something astoundingly beautiful, though there might always be a sad element to things (Dostoyevsky has this natally, as do sculptor Camille Claudel and artist Toulouse-Lautrec, a depressive trifecta indeed) and disciplined performance may be in the blood (Beethoven and Maria Callas both have this natally, but so does Miley Cyrus! which only argues for her ‘out-of-control’ presentations really being very very controlled) and tastes can run to the decidedly dour and unappealing (Eva Braun has this placement natally, and we all know who she found attractive).

Venus will slow in Capricorn, and retrograde there on the 20th of December, so our time in the land of the dominatrix and ‘practical’ gifts for the Holidays will last a long time–and it will feel twice that, by the time our Lady of Love leaves the sign in early March 2014. It’s a long slog, and we’d better make friends with Venus as she moves through this sign; find a way to shape the Venusian impulse to the Goat’s exacting requirements and you can have a rollicking time, just as long as it’s cleaned up by 9 and lights out by 10.
