All material shown here is from ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest. For the 29th:

If we can get the values, relationships, or finances (pick one–at least one is on each of our minds with the recent direction of Venus) into harmony with the impulse to uniqueness or joining a group (and this impulse is a smart one, at this point) then we will reach a mini-peak of emotional fulfillment (and probably really juice up the intuition). Big opportunities today, no matter what.

On the 30th:

9:30 PM PDT  the Moon opposes the Jupiter-South Node combo, which of course means the Lunar orb is conjunct the North Node. We may see a situation where the social sphere leads us in a backward direction, but if we’ll follow our emotional or intuitive prompts we will actually make progress. Trust yourself.

And:

July 1st dawns with a heavy fog of confusion or discontent; Neptune squares Ceres and Venus sesquiquadrates Saturn, and none of us are immune to a feeling that our own authority is undermined significantly, and that this is perhaps affecting our creativity and our ability to relate. It feels like the reality that surrounds us is exceptionally costly, one way or another. Retreat feels like our only option, but we might do better to use our imaginative powers to experience what it might be like to be one of those people who is pushing, grabbing, or demanding. We may see that most of what’s happening right now is generated by fear, and specifically by fear that there isn’t ‘enough’; know that there is, and try not to condemn others for being victims of their own unconscious natures.

We may not be completely aware of what we’re communicating to others. By Ferretti c1730 {{PD-Art}}

From ECLIPSE, about influences for the 20th-21st of June:

We don’t know what we’re communicating! But it’s not in line with our reality! But, oddly this may be highly empowering!! These may be days when we careen out of control socially, mentally, psychically, and yet it all ends up working to our advantage–go figure! That doesn’t mean there won’t be casualties, but that we will find some benefit among the ruins.

And from the upcoming issue of ECLIPSE, due out evening Pacific time of the 21st:

From the article: Jupiter Square Neptune: Society in Conflict With the Spiritual

The more power and materially-oriented forces will be lobbying for their own benefit–and what stands in their way is our own sense of ideals and connectedness.

The social arena may require statements, talk about where we stand, what we think, or simply could insist we listen to what’s being presented–and there’s a Kafkaesque, nightmare quality to it all, as we will find that reason, even-handedness, and true discourse fall by the wayside.

To see it all, please subscribe!

PS The new issue is almost ready–order before 7 PM Pacific time and receive last week’s issue on traits carried forward from the past and Venus retrograde, as well as the new one as soon as it’s released, featuring Jupiter-Neptune and the Saturn Direction! Order Now—what are you waiting for?

From the current ECLIPSE, on the New Moon in Gemini:

The New Moon arrives at 8:02 AM PDT of the 19th of June at 28 Gemini 43. The New Moon makes no aspects at all, unless we count a semi-sextile from Ceres, and we do; we need something that tells us what this is about. We must also consider the Sabian Symbol for this NM: ‘The First Mockingbird of Spring’ What these two tell us is that this is all about our ‘conversation’ (Gemini) with nature; and by that I mean, the way in which each of us relates to and is a part of the natural order. This New Moon promises a birth, a ‘new’ role for each of us in relation to the natural world; what role will it be for you?

To see the rest of the discussion, including how which House the NM falls in will affect you, and what the NM means within the context of the other aspects in play at this time, get ECLIPSE!

From this week’s ECLIPSE for today:

Communications will have the ring of fate about them, and that may make for some anxiousness, as fear that we will not be able to control circumstances comes forward. Rest assured, we will NOT be able to control the future–so anxiety is just a distraction from the real target, which will probably involve a need to ‘get right’ with our environment, with a maternal figure, and/ or with authorities. Watch what you say to those latter two, as what is communicated WILL affect your future! So see, we have some control, after all 🙂

The 16th sees Venus square Chiron. This could consume us with relationship hurts, real or imagined (Pisces) or just thought about (Gemini), with the contemplation itself causing guilt and upset. We will be touchy, and so will others, and we must make a special effort not to interact or spend out of long-held hurt–by this time we all should know, that won’t cure it.

And on the 17th:

8:30 AM PDT conjunction of the Moon to the South Node makes for some nostalgic talk and those who take a walk down memory lane may ‘remember’ what’s complete fantasy, thanks to Mercury/ Neptune. Contact to the South Node is also a point when we may fall back into old habits or find the past preferable to the present–don’t let this be you!

A Taste of Venus Retrograde 15 May 2012: ‘Tastes Change’

The hat Venus wears here is the kind of taste mistake we could make during the retro period. ‘Cupid Complaining to Venus’ by Cranach the Elder {{PD-Art}}

Here’s a little of what I said in ECLIPSE about today’s retrograde of Venus (at 7:32 AM PDT at 23 Gemini 59):

Any Venus area where we have met a dead end while she’s direct is an area prime for rejuvenation during retrograde.

This means that the changed tastes and willingness to try the new and unusual in Venusian pursuits that typically surfaces during this time can be a means to re-generate a part of life that we have worn into a rut with too narrow a viewpoint, taste palette, or definition of what’s ‘right’ or appropriate for us. ‘New’ can definitely be the keyword that frees up an area and an approach leading to new relationships, experiences, and an enhanced aesthetic sense that lasts and benefits us long past Venus’ direction. The retro period can serve to modify our Venusian standards and perceptions so that they are wider and at the same time more refined once the planet appears to move forward again.

What do you make of the impending Facebook IPO during the retrograde period of the planet symbolizing, among other things, relationships and cash? I haven’t studied any charts related to FB, including Zuckerberg’s, but do feel that the stock is immensely overvalued, and that it may plunge drastically within months of the initial offering. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉 (then again, if I’m wrong, you can take yourself to lunch on your earnings!)

I‘m away from home right now, so if you’ve written to me and I haven’t answered, it’s because I’m sitting looking out at the Columbia River, dealing with wonky wi-fi and ridiculous heat for this part of the world in May–but I can still get books and ECLIPSE to you, so feel free to order and take advantage of the May Special–2 extra months for a 6 month subscription (for a total of 8) and 1 extra for a 3 month subscription (for a total of 4–and recommended if you’re not sure a Weekly Digest that has articles, commentary, and complete aspect and Lunar forecasts is for you!)

From the current ECLIPSE (Get it Here!):

12:30 PM PDT the Aries Moon quincunxes Mars in Virgo; is it dry in here, or is it just me? So much naked assertive energy armed with facts and details and a hot breath of intuition makes getting in touch with emotions nearly impossible; either we think we’re ‘Feeling Whisperers’ but end up beating everyone with the broad side of our Arian sword (or maybe with a big heavy accounting ledger!) trying to get to the emotion, or we try to straightforwardly talk it out only to find actions and exchanges devolving into criticism spoken or acted out. This is best used as an opportunity to adjust our emotional need to assert, and to become more aware of the ways in which we may judge when the situation doesn’t really call for our opinion.

Just a little something from ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest; for the whole picture, click here

We have a 5:30 PM PDT square of the Aries Moon to Mercury in Cardinal signs. Uncomfortable emotions may push us to tell way too much about what we care about/ for (Merc in Cancer). Sharing our feelings isn’t a bad thing, but it does give far too much information to those who either don’t want it or who might be tempted to misuse it. The key is to share only with those who care for us–that way our loving concern and outright adoration can’t be used against us. Just before 7 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Venus, who is still retro. If we’ve shared too much, this could be the time when we realize we should’ve kept it to ourselves–everyone else may be shown the emotional drawbacks of already extant relationships or financial situations.

Just a Little Astro Essence for Today 11 June 2012: ‘Heavy With Symbolisms’

de Toulouse-Lautrec 1892 {{PD-Art}}

From this week’s ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest:

Today Mercury creates a T-square by opposing Pluto and squaring Uranus, though the two slow movers in the equation haven’t once again perfected their square (that happens on the 24th of June). Though we might think this would be a great time for understanding the square and its impact on us, Merc’s semi-square to Sedna effectively nixes our awareness of it. So, the dynamic is of Pluto/ Uranus effects on our thoughts and communications, but without our ability to see that! Eek! I would bet this will be a day heavy with symbolisms and synchronicities–look for these, and they will be loaded with information about Uranus/ Pluto for you.

Your Weekend 8-10 June 2012: ‘Confusion and Creativity’

We really are all traveling in the same boat. ‘The Ferry’ by Fox 1910 {{PD-Art}}

On the 8th:

10 PM PDT the Moon trines Saturn and is sneaking up on a square to Sedna; we either rein ourselves in, or we come up against external stops or restrictions, and in either case, we don’t recognize the cause! This may be perfectly visible to others, so you might want to ask around 🙂

For the 9th:

Just before 6 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Neptune in his own sign; the tension of the past few days can be released in a huge burst of creative activity fueled by emotional release–or, the intuition can seriously mislead or delude, as can the emotions if they are not directed into a distinct creative outlet. Be ‘on purpose’ in what you choose, or have it chosen for you, with havoc or unintended consequences as a result.

And for the 10th:

On the 10th Juno and Ceres perfect their opposition, and Mercury squares Pallas–what an unfortunate combination of influences! Just at the time when we need to draw on our wisdom in communications and in relation to others who are in the same Self-interested boat as we, we find our minds are reacting and formulating contrary to wisdom and our own best interests.
