‘Still Life: Basket of Grapes, Walnuts, and Knife’ Leon Bonvin 1863 {{PD-Art}}

Just after 8 AM PST of the 11th the Aries Moon opposes Ceres. Our Willfulness may sabotage our own authority; the ‘I Am’ feels alienated from Nature, those in charge, and/ or from those with whom negotiation is needed. It’s not a pretty picture, but it needn’t be a disaster: all we have to do is find the likeness to our own viewpoint in that opposing energy. As long as the Self can identify with its own need to feel powerful, in charge, or a part of the natural order, we can successfully find our way to understanding and compromise. 10 AM PST the Moon opposes Zeus. Now we may feel that our emotions or intuition are undermining our goals and ambitions. There may be some truth to this, and we should examine the feelings/ intuitions with care, for both the underlying perception (with feelings) and the legitimacy of the message (with intuitions, which may be wishful thinking, the mind, or fear in disguise). 2 PM PST the Moons squares Jupiter and quincunxes Saturn. The social scene is not very encouraging, and reality, in a word, bites. Maybe we’d do best to quit looking outside ourselves for validation. Fall back on knowledge, the support system, and those things that can be counted on, and re-group. 6 PM PST the Moon trines the Sun, offering a chance to co-ordinate actions and perceptions into a neat package. 8 PM PST the Moon sextiles Juno, linking us to our best empowerment options, if we’ll only be Self-responsible, and look.

Today’s image is a bottle of wine; you reach out, tilt the bottle so you can read the label, and see that it’s a label from your very own winery, and it playfully but succinctly describes some important aspect of who you are. What does it say? This is something, like the wine, that you would do well to share with others–it’s part of what makes you memorable.
