We begin the 10th with a Sagittarius Moon, and a Void that begins at 3:12 AM PDT and ends at 8:18 AM PDT with the Moon’s entry into Capricorn. 1 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Neptune and semi-sextiles Venus. This may help soften what can be a harsh take-down of a dream, a fantasy, or even a relationship, as the emotional sensitivities are rallied in support of that dream or ideal. We may have been disabused of something unreal at its core, but this contact allows us to intuit or to feel the reason it was necessary to see the truth of things. Just after 3 PM PDT the Moon hits the midpoint of Venus-Juno; again, a situation that starts out as female rivalries or that confronts status issues or the costs and benefits of empowerment options can be smoothed over with a little intuitive understanding. 11 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Pluto and sextiles Chiron. It’s the urge to purge in an attempt to heal ourselves or others–but think carefully before indulging; as much harm as good can come from ‘getting it all off our chest’. Emotional changes instituted internally can heal long-standing issues–it’s interactions where we must be sensitive.

Today’s image is an old, floppy stuffed animal, sitting in a neglected golf club bag, in a dark, dusty corner of a closet. We all have things around the house that have fallen into disuse, sometimes because their time with us is past, sometimes because we have changed how we spend our time–yet we keep these things, not really thinking about them, not really noticing they’re there. It’s time to let go of some things we claim we’ll get back to ‘one of these days’; it’s also time to recognize that some things are better given to others, for whom they’ll be meaningful and bring joy. What we rid ourselves of today may be figurative or material, but ideally it will be both: this is our opportunity to let go of old things, and old patterns, not for the purpose of filling these spaces with new stuff, but to provide space to move, to breathe, to live, to remove the clutter that keeps us from fully being who we are now.

From ECLIPSE:

9 October and we’re back to that almost magical atmosphere, where our ambitions and wants are guided by wisdom (and so likely attainable) and the social sphere, knowledge, or our philosophy support our power expression and exertion of authority–and so bring us what we desire. Power players and/ or authorities help out. Plan things for today that you might’ve been tempted to see as impossible–and then watch them happen (as long, that is, as you employ the right skills for the right job–if we don’t have them, the thing is to employ what we do have skills for, as this is what will be both ‘magical’ and available at this time). (Pallas sextile Zeus, Jupiter sextile Ceres)

8 October wow, we open our mouths and who the heck knows what’s going to come out!? Whatever it is that we hear or communicate, we all take as set in stone–an unfortunate result, since so much shared today will come as a complete surprise to everyone! Keeping options open means keeping mouths (and keyboard keys, and text messaging, and phones) silent, but this isn’t necessary, as long as you are prepared to follow through on what goes down today, because you will certainly be held accountable and expected to stick by your words. The thing is, everyone’s ambitions are on display today for the world to see, so those who are honest with themselves and others will have a much easier time than those who suffer because they hoped to keep their true aims or desires a secret. (Mercury conjunct Saturn, quincunx Uranus, Sun conjunct Zeus)

7 October we may be our own worst enemy today; even our own ego urges are too demanding, pushing us to rebel and throw caution to the winds. We may be inconsolably restless, believing that the thing we long for is just over the next horizon, and it’s all too easy to speak thoughtlessly and cause harm. Rein yourself in, even a teensy bit, and you can be the author of some healing thoughts, words, and plans, spreading the light of wisdom applied, and helping to soothe those too distressed to get out of their own way.

Your Libra New Moon 4 October 2013: The Message in Futures Past

Apparently this is what those in 1899 France anticipated for the 21st century--sweet! 'Whale Bus' {{PD}}

Apparently this is what those in 1899 France anticipated for the 21st century–sweet! ‘Whale Bus’ {{PD}}

The New Moon occurs on the 4th at 5:34 PM PDT at 11 Libra 56. The first thing that catches my attention is a configuration: a Fist that has a midline opposition that bisects the figure and creates a small ‘hat’ or kite on top using semi-squares. Some may not find this a true config, since the bisection is made by the Nodal axis and the square involves two points, the Vertex (the point at which the ecliptic intersects the prime vertical–this runs through the nadir and zenith perpendicular to the horizon–if you can’t easily picture it, don’t worry–what you need to know is that Vertex literally means ‘turning point’, hence its association with fated events and life-changing meetings) and the Midheaven, which in this case describes the most public part of the chart, the New Moon energy most likely to be perceived; this falls in Sagittarius, suggesting a sharing of information or knowledge, expansion efforts, belief, or ‘getting the word out’. The apex is the South Node–what’s past, what’s been accumulated (with placement in Taurus implying this may have to do with resources), comfort. security, stability. It suggests that the inception of the New Moon may include a very public, ‘fated’, fait accompli, either its beginning, or its public reveal. The ‘topper’ places Mercury just slightly more than 1 degree from conjunction with the North Node–and ‘shoots’ this energy through the apex of the Fist, otherwise known as the South Node. Talk about a Pre-Echo! This could be a ‘message from the future’ as it was laid out, or destined through choice and circumstance, in the past, and though the message would probably have an individual cast (determined by where in the natal chart the South Node at 7 Taurus 50 falls) there would also be a shared element, likely affecting the material well-being or security of us all.

'The Gate' Emile Claus 1899 {{PD-Art}}

‘The Gate’ Emile Claus 1899 {{PD-Art}}

The aspect outlook for October 2nd, from ECLIPSE:

If we look too closely at reality it just seems hurtful, and we’re reminded of plenty of painful barriers and restrictions under which we must function. The good news is twofold: if we’re open to seeing how our personal commonalities (traits) are shared with the Collective or the group, and if we’re willing to face reality exactly as it is, we can then use what we find before us to foster healing, and it’s a healing specifically applicable to our experience with others in the wider world. We may resist our own empowerment, which would be the result of working productively with these energies, and we may try to justify our resistance by insisting we’ll get hurt in the process. No, we won’t. Our biggest problem, though, may be in not knowing our own worth; turn to a partner, colleague, or friend for a reality-check. (Uranus quincunx Vesta, Saturn trine Chiron, Venus opposed Sedna, Mercury square Juno, Sun quincunx Chiron)

'Clouds Over the Black Sea, Crimea' Boris Israelevich Anisfeld {{PD-Russia}}

‘Clouds Over the Black Sea, Crimea’ Boris Israelevich Anisfeld {{PD-Russia}}

From ECLIPSE:

30 September we may enjoy some unusual (maybe even once-in-a-lifetime) chances today that carry great potential for success, and our judgment is excellent–the one thing standing in our way may be our belief that a certain element of the past is inhibiting us. Get beyond this and the opportunities for original Self-expression, academic achievement, and creative innovation and invention are limitless. (Uranus trine Pallas, Sun quincunx the South Node)

And I would add this:

Oh yes, and there’s a tense Cardinal T (Sun, Earth-Uranus, Pluto) that creating a sort of stand-off mentality, a ‘destroy to win’ mode of action. Power struggles are verboten for those who actually want to accomplish–but this is all so obvious, really.

'Puck and Fairies from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'' Joseph Noel Paton c1850 {{PD-Art}}

‘Puck and Fairies from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream” Joseph Noel Paton c1850 {{PD-Art}}

From the current issue of ECLIPSE:

28 September our dreams or delusions may be challenged by the social sphere or by our own need to expand or reach out; either way, we may end up defending those Neptunian constructs, but before you do, ask yourself if it might not be better to just let them go–it comes down to whether you are truly benefiting from them, or whether they are running on sheer Willpower or ego–if the latter, let them go and move on. The most positive thing we can do will be to think about how ‘natural’ that dream is to our sense of who we are.

The Moon’s Void begins at 12:32 AM of the 29th; the Moon enters Leo at 12:58 AM PDT. And at 8 PM PDT of the 29th the Moon conjuncts Pallas, squares Saturn, trines Uranus, and forms the apex (with Pallas) to a Finger of God with base of Pluto-Chiron. This is about recognizing reality and being responsive enough to it (through innovation, originality, or spontaneity) to make healing changes that are both smart and emotionally empowering; these changes might also open the intuitive channels and ‘let the signal through’. A huge opportunity to ‘tune in’ and get a lot right.
