The Sabian for the Full Moon is, ‘A Group of Rabbits Dressed In Human Clothes Walk As If On Parade’ This may speak of a general circumstance that has been revealed for what it truly is by the Full Moon, specifically of elements of the animal nature that ‘play’ to sophistication and a ‘civilized’ display but that are shown, indeed, to be in reality the instinctive, animal nature, contained and garbed as if it is something it’s not. This may hint at the primal depths that we may touch at this time, and may serve to re-connect us with both our instincts and the ways we can successfully contain and use these in social interaction. We come out the ‘other side’ of this Full Moon both significantly healed and significantly enlightened as to our own depths, with a ‘new’ and more advanced way of dealing with hurt, strife, and sadness.

Niagara, The Table Rock in Winter c1847 by Gignoux {{PD-Art}}

The 19th of December brings wise action (Mars sextile Pallas) and sudden developments in finances or relationships (Venus trine Uranus)–so what could go wrong? If we’re going after ambitions and desires and not being honest, fact-oriented, and genuine in the process, we could just blow it all up. The mix of influences says things could be really really good, or could go to hell, and it’s pretty much under our own control–but if we are wedded to illusion or fantasy, busy deluding ourselves, or busy hiding the truth from others, we are in for a wallop–and we can conclude, if things don’t go well, that we have been dodging reality in some way–and we’d do well to find out just how that’s been happening.

December 20th 7 AM PST the Moon conjuncts Uranus, making for shocks or surprises of our own making–really! By 9 AM PST the Moon trines Venus and semi-sextiles Chiron; we are easily injured in matters of love or money, but a willingness to be Self-responsible turns this period into one that can be profitable and very enjoyable, though don’t expect anything permanent to come out of this.

The above is from the current issue of ECLIPSE, and will be my last public post for a while. ECLIPSE continues as usual by subscription (see the many variations at right). Please enjoy a happy, healthy, prosperous, forgiving, healing, and magical holiday season! Love, jd

December 17th sees our Messenger-Hero Mercury opposed Jupiter; it’s David and Goliath, in information terms, but know this: the Mercury side of things is truly informed, while the Jupiter side has the approval of the social sphere and a way to get the word out widely, yet may feature gossip or innuendo next to (or mixed in with) the real scoop.

Cascades_d'Ouzoud

For Saturday 15 December 2012:

2 AM PST the Capricorn Moon forms the base of a Finger of God with the North Node, apex Earth. This suggests that emotions will translate smoothly into life direction, which will have a direct impact on the material situation. This could be a ‘feel it and it happens’ aspect; or rather, a ‘feel it and it changes our efforts, which impact our material circumstances’. Doesn’t flow as well, but means exactly the same thing. 4 AM PST the Moon sextiles Pallas, infusing the feelings with wisdom (and probably a good dose of patience, too).  Noon Pacific time the Moon sextiles Venus in the 29th degree of Scorpio. This stresses relationships and/ or finances, where we are likely to worry there’s something we don’t know about one or the other. The answer to this may actually precede this contact, at around 11 AM PST when the Moon captures Juno at the midpoint of Moon-Venus. This might show us exactly where our real empowerment status and options lie–and the lesson we should take from this is that it’s easy to forget what we know, when something dear (relationships, funds, assets, our Art) comes under stress.

And for Sunday the 16th:

2 AM of the 16th the Aquarian Moon becomes part of a cascade effect, by squaring Saturn, sextiling Mercury, and semi-sextiling Pluto–which arrangement of course catches Merc at the Saturn-Pluto midpoint. The effect may be one where each of us only sees a portion of the chain–one person experiences repression of emotion (Moon sq Saturn) communicates that (Merc) to another, who perceives it as a destructive or deliberately harmful confession (Pluto), for instance, or where transformative emotions (Moon-Pluto) are not communicated to a father-figure or authority (Saturn-Merc) or where those emotions allow one to break the rules (Saturn-Pluto), for another example.

December 12th the big news is Venus conjunct the North Node. Doesn’t seem like a big deal, but for some it will make for a definitive moment concerning values, wealth, or relationships. Direction in one or more of these areas will be set. Look to the House where this occurs in your chart, as well as any aspects it makes (from 25 Scorpio)in order to know the possible impact.

 

New Moon occurs December 13th at 12:41 AM PST at 21 Sagittarius 44

The New Moon squares Pallas and quincunxes Sedna, making no other aspects under a three degree orb, though we might consider a semi-square to Saturn, as this could be a wise choice, giving us our ‘doorway’ into reality for NM energies. Sag is about knowledge and the sharing of such, and in square to the symbol of wisdom and practical skills, and quincunx the ‘blind spot’ of the chart, it could signal a point when what is ‘born’ with the NM energy is something decidedly unwise, a parcel of misinformation (as it doesn’t seem deliberately malicious) that affects our reality situation, possibly through putting up unwarranted barriers, slowing or stopping progress, or repressing some element that was on its way to expression. This is so very contradictory to the typical NM scenario, where we are seeing the initiation of something much more positive, that it’s difficult to believe that a New Moon may leave us in such a problem state–but there it is. The worst thing is we will not realize that what we’re deal with is an unwise viewpoint–and of course that’s where all the danger lies.

From the current ECLIPSE:

December 11th sees Mercury square Neptune and semi-square Zeus. This is the result of yesterday’s stressful, secret-bound, and ‘Truth-y’ communications: we are all having difficulty with being lied to or deceived, with sorting fact from fiction, and with communicating our creative urge. A big part of why is the intrusion of ambitions and desires; with Zeus still in Libra, we may be counting too much on co-operation and the largesse of others to make things happen, hence our vulnerability to illusion and delusion. A vow to be honest with ourselves is a good start, as is a fondness for the verifiable and for what we can hold in our hands.

From the current ECLIPSE, available by subscription:

4 PM of the 8th, Pacific time, there’s a trine of the Libra Moon to the Earth-Vesta conjunction. The effect could be rash action, or choices that go against the emotional grain, that result in a solid, material embodiment of our highest values, or the dedication we have to home and mate. Interesting to inspect those results, as they will tell us what we’re really honoring.

The 9th of December we’re back to familiar upsets and clashes, some of which may arrive in new garb (and so not immediately be recognized as old hat). Mars quincunxes Vesta while Earth conjuncts her and the Sun opposes her; our actions and choices will need to be adjusted, if we’re to take what we consider sacred seriously; it will be obvious what needs to change materially, too, in order to comply with those highest, best values.

Void begins at 11:55 AM Pacific time; the Moon enters Scorpio at 1:51 PM PST on 9 December.

The Moon immediately trines Neptune, starting us off on the journey through Scorpio with a strong dose of intuition, creativity, and/ or easy delusion accepted without even realizing it. Attune to the emotions and feel the creative and spiritual flow.

On December 10th we tell it like it is, with Merc moving into Sagittarius very late in the day, Pacific time–disputes come from varying ideas of ‘Truth’, varying philosophies, or varying information or knowledge levels, and with Merc’s position in 29 degrees Scorpio through most of the day, secrets and hidden matters causing stress or exploded into the light could be the fuel for much communication upset–and a really unusual dynamic accompanies this: Venus opposes Sedna, semi-squares Pluto, and trines Pallas, making for some serious decision-making that may be preternaturally wise even as it’s unconscious, guided from the depths of our Being!

‘Snow Balls’ Bertha Boynton Lum 1913 {{PD-Art}}

From the current ECLIPSE:

Juno quincunx the South Node=we try to empower ourselves by responding and choosing differently than we did in the past–but in taking this tack we lose the benefit of both experience and hindsight. Thinking is hyper-emotional and perhaps vengeance-based or driven by secrets or a need to know, and likely we don’t realize it (Mercury in Scorpio) and criticism and nitpicking over details are prime expressions for misdirected discontent (Moon in Virgo). This combination makes experiences like snowflakes: no two are alike, though they’re all made of the same ‘stuff’. The key seems to lie with Neptune; our relationship to reality, the Truth, honesty, and creativity will all come to the fore, and how it all plays out is dependent on whether we take refuge in delusion, confusion, or the untrue, or whether we tap into our source of inspiration and channel that drive into consciously creative endeavors.

Jean Dodal Tarot 'The Tower' {{PD}}

Jean Dodal Tarot ‘The Tower’ {{PD}}

Post 10 PM PST of the 5th the Cancer Moon squares Jupiter, giving us an impulse to pull back from expansion activities, probably out of fear. If transiting Jupiter is aspecting any major players in your chart, you need to assess the relationship–if it’s good (easy aspects like trines or sextiles, or in mutual reception with your natal Mercury, or reaching the Midheaven) then the fear may be a little thing I like to call the fear of SUCCESS. Although that’s really a misnomer (we tend to stay far away from what we truly fear) it is akin to the scary sensation of climbing a tower and looking down–we think about how we might fall, rather than that we’ve made it to the top–so you must decide if it’s just this misleading fear, or if it’s a genuine warning to take a step back.

'Waterloo Bridge' Monet 1904 {{PD-Art}}

‘Waterloo Bridge’ Monet 1904 {{PD-Art}}

In last week’s ECLIPSE I said this of today, the 3rd:

We may wake up in the morning with great difficulty recognizing what’s smart, a sensation intact as if it’s always been that way! or the condition of ‘disappearing wisdom’ may creep up on us like a fog on little cat feet (sorry, Mr. Sandburg!) We may react by running around like a chicken with our head cut off, or we may sink back so that our vision turns in to our own interior landscape, and spend our time contemplating what’s missing, what’s gone wrong.

And I don’t know about you, but that’s exactly how I spent it! The fog wasn’t disorienting so much as . . . maybe discouraging, and working was interrupted so many times it’s a wonder I got anything done. I turned inward, all right, in a kind of headache-y contemplation that I’m just now coming out of. I hope your day was better? That doesn’t seem right, my day was actually pleasant, just not the ultra-focused time I so often aim for. What about tomorrow, you ask? This is what I have to say about tomorrow, also from ECLIPSE–and really, if you come here for a glimpse ahead, don’t you deserve the detailed, hour-by-hour rundown?

December 4th plays a lot better, with Ceres entering Gemini by retrograde, and Mercury opposes Sedna and trines Pallas. Even though we feel a return of wisdom, and our reasoning powers seem on target, there is a little thing about sort of losing our minds that may get in the way. Nothing to panic over–sit back if you can, and remind yourself, “All the world is queer (mad crazy)save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer.” –Robert Owen, 1828
