≈ Comments Off on The Harp of the Soul
Schneider 1906 {{PD-Art}}
Many of us ‘live’ more fully within other charts energies with which we identify more strongly than we do within the Sun. We may be highly sensitive, preferring the changeable shelter of our Moon, we may be highly attuned to the ‘face’ we present to the world and identify strongly with our Ascendant or with our chart ruler (which is another name for the Ascendant ruler), or we may vibe to Venus if we closely identify with our role as a woman, or Mars if we are a man, or the Moon if we carry the label of ‘Mother’ as primary identity. There’s nothing wrong with this, and sometimes an ‘alternate’ identity is what we need at a certain point in life (the sensitivity, dignity, and orientation toward study of our Chiron may get us through school, for example, our Mars may get us through our time in the Army, our Jupiter may help us through a time of social demands and scrutiny–think high school!–or our Pluto may get us through a major death or loss), though it should be said that we’re all not comfortable ‘living’ just any energy in any situation. For instance, a zeitgeist that calls for cool and laid back may not be an easy fit for the Jupiter in Capricorn individual, and wearing our Mars in Leo to a meditation circle won’t fly well, either! All the energies play at identity issues, to some degree, but we must always re-orient ourselves to the Sun; it’s our core, indeed, it represents our Purpose, and the essence of our Beingness, and as such has a special role, indicating specific notes that the harp of our Soul must strike.
The above is from the latest issue of ECLIPSE; order now! Includes detailed forecasts, and so much more!

The 9th is a day when we encounter the grace (or loving spirit, or cash, or empowering option) to work some things out, maybe even to change our world, if we don’t allow out-of-the-blue, illogical, or radical messages, or our own erratic thoughts, to throw us off the scent (Venus trine Pluto, Uranus trine Juno, Mercury quincunx Uranus, Earth sesquiquadrate Mars). We will definitely try to change material matters somehow, but our actions will need to be modified according to our experience of influx and the quality of communications/ thought. A day when much can happen, and with a little effort and openness to adjustment, it can be very, very positive. The 10th of October proves to be an excellent manifestation day, when what we’ve been imagining can be made real (Saturn trine Neptune perfects). We finally receive the transformative messages we’ve been waiting for (but I have to warn you, some of us will get something that destroys us or some circumstance in our life–and we must remember, even as it crumbles, how this is truly for the good–Mercury sextile Pluto).

‘A Mad Tea Party’ One of a series of brilliant illustrations Arthur Rackham 1907 {{PD}}
The 21st of September is a rough day for successful communication: Mercury sesquiquadrates Sedna, suggesting that much of what’s communicated is done without any awareness of what’s truly shared, and the Sun-Earth axis creates a T-square with Ceres, making for an ongoing atmosphere of tension between those who believe they should hold power and command, and the material reality, ‘what is’.
On the 22nd:
Void begins at 11:07 AM PDT; the Moon enters Capricorn at 12:21 PM PDT.
Immediately the Moon creates a T-square with the Sun-Earth axis and sextiles Neptune. We could feel put on the spot, facing a bit of a crisis, and creativity, imagination, or some careful dissembling (not lying, exactly, more like diplomatically avoiding the hard-line Capricorn reality) may be the way out. Keep in mind that just because someone applies pressure, it doesn’t mean we are under some kind of obligation to respond to it.
And the 23rd promises:
The Sun in Libra wants to co-operate, to shine a light on what may be deceptive, hidden in fog, mysterious, illusive, imaginative, creative, dreamlike–and Neptune will have none of it, pulling his Piscean curtain of fog and mirrors and video installations and shimmery, shiny things even tighter. This may feel like, hard as we try to see the facts, the ‘Truth’, or how to assemble the creative alternative, we may be left with little concrete or understandable to grasp. It all may feel a little ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

Love this painting by Charles Courtney Curran–even used it in an early issue of ECLIPSE. For me it perfectly evokes the heat and humidity of a languid summer day. 1888 {{PD-Art}}
Just needed to come up for air in my quest to 1) finish client work, 2) finish the Vesta book, which will be free to current subscribers, 3) finish an extra for subscribers (that will also be for sale to non-subscribers) on Chiron’s elevation in 2012, and 4) enjoy a little bit of summer before it’s gone. It’s beautiful weather right now, the garden’s in full bloom, we’re harvesting zucchini, carrots (it’s the Northwest, there’s really only one gardening season!) tomatoes, bell and hot peppers, Swiss chard, and just today, some delicate, pink-skinned fingerling potatoes–I hope you’re enjoying the atmosphere (and eating as well) as we are right now.
The 9th of August we see Vesta sextile Pallas (we work to balance what the social sphere reveres and what we know is wise) and Venus quincunx the North Node and trine Neptune. This latter grouping promises some ‘dream come true’ or ideal conditions, especially in love and/ or money, but we will be made aware of how having that dream may interfere with (or even change) our destined direction. Consider carefully, with full awareness that having your cake will alter whether you can eat it in the future, too.
The 10th of August brings spanky fresh Mercury direct trine the North Node, and communications seem to come to life, up and running with messages flying all over the place, especially messages pertaining to plans and the future. It feels like prime time to get all those things going we put on hold during the retrograde–but we’re not there totally until Merc is back out past the point at which he made his turnaround (reached on 22 August)–just keep this in mind.
That’s it for now–I may pop in again before my hiatus is over, but if you’ve been missing these posts, the thing to do is order ECLIPSE–that’s where the material above is from–it’s inexpensive (only $5 per month) and tres useful–look! you made me pull out some exotic charm, just in the hopes you’ll give it a try.

‘Meditation By the Sea’ Artist Unknown mid-1800s {{PD-Art}} via Wikimedia Commons
For today:
Prior to 5 PM PDT the Moon trines Vesta, finds herself at the midpoint of Pluto-Chiron, and sextiles Uranus. This may be like a small bomb going off, with emotional expression of our principles creating a minor firestorm. This almost certainly takes the form of words spoken or thoughts shared, with the Moon in Aquarius and Vesta in Gemini, but abrupt action may follow that changes the landscape significantly, so take special care with what you say, and what you share (it’s a poem!)
And about that Full Moon:
The Aquarius Full Moon arrives at 8:28 PM Pacific time of August 1 at 10 Aquarius 15
Keeping our usual strict 2 degree orb for aspects made by the Full Moon as it melds with Earth, we see sextiles to Uranus and Pallas in Aries, and trines to Vesta and Jupiter in Gemini. So much flowing energy fixes the Aquarian Full Moon in a constructive atmosphere of originality, wisdom, ‘right’ values, and a positive place in the social order. We are being given the gift of understanding (an Aquarian strength) of how we fit in, how we should think of our place (Gemini) and what we should do (Aries). The Sabian gives us an image upon which to draw: ‘During a Silent Hour, a Man Receives a New Inspiration Which May Change His Life’ We are shown an image that we may at first assume applies to the individual during meditation, and his or her receipt of, in essence, a ‘new spirit’ that directs him or her down a new life path, and this would not be wrong–that indeed may be the case for many, stilling the mind and finding the answers within–but this may for others represent finding a literal quiet spot, and in this retreat, something is introduced into one’s sphere that has a life altering effect. You may not see a great deal of difference between the two, but we are noting the difference between an inner solution, and one that may quite literally drop into one’s lap.
There’s more where that came from! All the above is from the newsletter. Order ECLIPSE and get a (usually) weekly dose of articles, thought, commentary, and aspect and Lunar analysis. Go ahead, it’s only $5 per month! And many Thanks to those who have!
In case you missed it, I will not be posting on the blog 3-23 August–so if you want your daily fix, get the newsletter! All other services (private clients and sales/ subscriptions) will continue as usual. Yes, give me my fix!

‘Guessing Game’ Regnier {{PD-Art}}
For the 27th, from ECLIPSE:
5:30 AM Pacific time the Scorpio Moon quincunxes Venus, perhaps throwing us off our game, as the reaction by others to what we think is a modest emotional revelation could confuse and cause us to adjust our idea of the relationship itself. 7 AM PDT the Moon conjuncts Juno, filling us with a sense of empowerment; make sure yours comes from a willingness to face the Truth, from fearlessness, rather than from keeping secrets that give you power over others, or from luck in hiding some flaw or mistake.
To see it all, order the brand new issue of ECLIPSE, ‘The Bardalicious Issue!’ out now!

For the 23rd of July we meet a challenge: Mars trines Ceres but opposes Pallas, and this almost certainly says that someone with power or authority asks us to act in a way we know is wrong or unwise. The authority may be the rock, our own conscience and good sense may be the hard place, and we are stuck between, though one thing to keep in mind is that whatever it is ‘they’ are asking for, ‘they’ will change their minds (Merc retro)–so all we really need do is delay, in order to avoid disaster.
The 24th may be a tough day: the social order may be inflicting a particular kind of hurt (Jupiter square Chiron) possibly through gossip or rumors (Gemini, Pisces) that, if they hold any kernel of Truth at all, are probably grossly exaggerated. By 6 AM PDT the Moon opposes Uranus, quincunxes Chiron, and trines Jupiter, sending the emotions on a wild ride where they might reject any hint of uniqueness, believing hurt can be avoided in the shelter of the herd. Sometimes that’s a valid idea, and this may be one of those times.

‘A Breezy Day’ CC Curran 1887 {{PD-Art}}
Venus, of course, makes her presence felt by House at least twice in the natal chart, once in her rulership of Taurus, and once with Libra. These two signs are naturally quincunx each other, and this describes the way we quite typically see relationship matters (Libra) as incompatible with material ones (Taurus). We tend to believe that the lowest form of relationship in which we can engage is one where we receive a material benefit; we call this person a ‘prostitute’ or label them ‘kept’ and act as if this (a money for action or energy exchange, and we condemn this in spite of the fact that a job has the same general parameters) is in itself a moral failing. Our natural uneasiness in mixing or equating the two must be tempered by an awareness that living in mutually beneficial material situations is really what we must do, not just for survival but in order to build civilization. We tend to see a relationship that involves love as more noble than one that provides something we need–and yet we mix these things, love and material need, all the time, particularly when we are in partnership–and perhaps that is one of the underlying reasons the mate relationship is so fraught with emotional landmines: we hold ourselves and our loved ones to impossibly high standards, demanding ‘pure’ love be given and received, and yet the very fabric of day-to-day requires an interdependence that, if we recognize any facet of it as a cold, material exchange, may de-value our relationship in our own eyes.
