Just a Little Lunar Essence 23 October 2012: ‘Lash Out or Clam Up’

Tags

‘A Basket of Clams’ Winslow Homer 1873 {{PD-Art}}

3 PM PDT the Aquarius Moon squares Sedna, then goes on to quincunx Venus and square Mercury. In effect we get a T-square wherein we ‘lose’ both feelings and our ability to articulate them, even as relationships, finances, or values are requiring us to make adjustments. Depending on how much your Self-image rests on being able to express yourself, you will in exact proportion find yourself frustrated and prone to lash out (or clam up). It’s not the time to deal with anything, simply because everything we encounter will feel as if it’s exerting pressure–and when we can’t even say ‘Ow!’ we’ll be feeling stymied, indeed.

Just a Little AstroEssence 22 October 2012: Introspection, Change’

Tags

Feuerbach 1864 {{PD-Art}}

On the 22nd the Sun enters Scorpio and Earth enters Taurus, while Venus trines Sedna and Mercury opposes it. Our attention turns to what we don’t know, something of a built-in prompt to worry–but about what? As long as we remember that this time of year is keyed to emotional introspection, into inspection of the dark corners, and into digging for the truth, we’ll embrace that darkness as part of the natural cycle, seeing it as coming forward in the ‘right’ time.

We’ll also see feelings (and even relationships) exposed, and words and thoughts shared in spite of our wishes not to; it’s a day to learn all about others, and to minimize our own exposure, as we may blurt out something better kept to ourselves.

The Harp of the Soul

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.

Just a Little Lunar Essence 18 October 2012: ‘Our Emotional Approach’

Tags

, , , ,

Toulmouche c1890 {{PD-Art}}

7:30 PM PDT the Moon opposes Jupiter, and by 10:30 PM PDT squares Venus. These two contacts signal a long period of clash with the social sphere, pessimism, and potential loss of assets or love. Oh don’t cry, it’s not as bad as it sounds! Our own negative emotional approach will be the real problem; if we can recognize our own ‘down’ attitude, we are halfway home in preventing any negative consequences.

There’s a new Reddit button at right that allows you to put any post-worthy articles up on the popular aggregator–or Review this site on Alexa–thank you!

Just a Little Lunar Essence 17 October 2012: ‘Adjust to Nature’

The Moon enters Sagittarius on the 17th of October at 5:26 PM PDT

Right away the Moon squares Neptune to kick off his transit through Sag–why get all, ‘I have to get out of here!’ and ruin that creative endeavor or inspired effort? Stepping back for a bit, rather than running off, is the better course.

10:30 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes Ceres. Adjustment to Mom, authorities, Mother Nature, or the need to negotiate comes forward. Resistance is futile; just do it, and worry about your own feelings later.

New Moon in Libra 15 October 2012: ‘The Moment of Renewal’

Tags

, , , , ,

Cartel Tierra, generously released into the public domain by Tavoanguiano

The Libra New Moon occurs at 5:02 AM Pacific time of the 15th at 22 Libra 32

Using our usual strict 2 degree orb, we find only a quincunx to Sedna, and a semi-square to Juno–if we stretch to 3, we are able to add that trine to Vesta, which may be key to understanding the whole thing. A New Moon is a beginning, a dawning, and so may be a point when certain things (indicated by aspects to the NM) are revealed or occur to us. In this case, we may have been dealing with, even struggling, with a certain depth-note of our consciousness, one that applies to our own understanding of the life-death-life cycle and our role in it, specifically in the way we ‘die to’ different aspects of our lives, dive deep in a kind of meditative consideration of what is, then are renewed, somewhat changed from what we once were. This change is always aligned with, even dictated by, our highest values, the Vestal attributes of deep intimate relationship, home, dedication to a cause or ideal, and respect for these. This New Moon is the moment of renewal; we come up from the depths, draw in a deep, healing, re-initiating breath, and we see just where we are, where the changes are, and who we are, now. Aspects suggest that adjustments prompted by our go-deep exploration (NM qnx Sedna) will help smooth out impediments to empowerment (NM semi-sq Juno), and this will be accomplished by living our highest ideals, actually by seeing them shape the ‘new’ parts of the Self mobilized, as symbolized by Vesta.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Your Weekend 13-14 October 2012: ‘Together Apart’

Nagy, before 1937 {{PD}}

For Saturday the 13th:

Void begins at 11:48 AM PDT; the Moon enters Libra at 4:02 PM Pacific time on the 13th.

There’s an immediate quincunx of the Moon to Neptune, perhaps making us uneasy over the partner, or the level of cooperation we can expect; we’ll need to both adjust and let go of any fantasies we’re prone to in this regard.

A midnight opposition of the Moon to Uranus, a quincunx to Chiron, and a sextile to Mars may prompt us to project all our orneriness and our propensity to hurt ourselves or others ‘out there.’ Awareness that what we see outside us is really inside us has never been so appropriate.

And for Sunday the 14th:

About 1 PM Pacific the Moon finds the midpoint of Venus-Mercury. Whatever’s communicated/ thought concerning love or money may make us turn to the partner, or to an aesthetic outlet, in hopes of relieving some kind of tension. This could be good news–remember, that causes stress, too.

Just a Little AstroEssence 12 October 2012: ‘Mercurial Messages’

Is she sleeping or reading, and does it matter? ‘Springtime’ by Monet 1872 {{PD-Art}}

The 12th of October sees only one new aspect perfect, Mercury in sesquiquadrate to Vesta. This could be hazardous, as people may speak, write, or communicate, thinking they’re true to their highest values, but other influences are calling the shots. Placements in mutable signs, or anything ruled by Mercury in the natal chart, may figure in to disruption of communications and skewing of meaning/ thoughts.

Just a Little AstroEssence 11 October 2012: ‘Starving Godzilla’

Tags

, , ,

{{PD}}

4:30 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Ceres, then squares Mars. We feel confident in our role as an authority, as a maternal figure, or that we are in touch with nature, but when we act, conflict arises. We are probably feeding the ego with Ceres’ energy, and ending up with a radioactive monster. Remember that old axiom your mother used to say, feed a cold, starve Godzilla.

Just a Little AstroEssence for 9-10 October 2012: ‘The Grace to Transform’

Helioconious by Richard Bartz, Munich aka Makro Freak http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Richard_Bartz Photo used under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 Generic with Thanks

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).
