Just a Little Astro Essence for Today 23 February 2012: ‘Groggy, Hazy, What Do You See?’

'Landscape with Rising Fog' Friedrich c.1820 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 5:23 PM PST; the Moon enters Aries at 6:47 PM PST.

The Aries Moon immediately semi-sextiles Neptune; this may make it feel as if the Pisces Moon never ended! This may create a hangover effect–we’re walking around with Neptunian grogginess in an Arian atmosphere–not easy.

Sun conjuncts Chiron, uniting these principles in a blinding haze of woundedness or healing skills. Looking into this light will be like looking into yourself; what you see will reflect your basic attitude, and can point out life strengths and weaknesses. If you find yourself looking into a morass of hurt, you are seeing yourself as a victim; I guarantee this is having a negative effect on your circumstances, no matter what you’re telling yourself. If you see skills or opportunities for healing, congratulations, you are using your energy very close to the best way possible for you at this time, and you can be sure you are demonstrating a high level of constructivity and maturity.

Just a Little Astro Essence for Today 22 February 2012: ‘Feather and Stone’

'Wing of a Roller' Durer 1512 {{PD-Art}}

4 PM PST the Moon conjuncts Mercury in Pisces, and whatever comes to mind comes tumbling out–and this may have no reference to reality! Great time for fiction writers, poets, con men, liars, or learning to speak with a new accent–for everybody else, this offers varying degrees of verbal and mental creative inspiration and confusion.

By 6 PM PST the Moon is opposed Mars and semi-sextile Venus, dragging the emotions into that reckoning between opposites and making the balancing of male and female (or light and dark, feather and stone, etc) a real challenge. Can be tiring if we actively wrestle with it–just a tad debilitating if we don’t.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 21 February 2012: ‘Amorphous and Empathetic’

'Dante's Dream at the Time of the Death of Beatrice' Rossetti 1856 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins 8:19 AM PST; Moon enters Pisces at 9:32 AM PST and wham! conjuncts Neptune, making the emotions and feeling state all-encompassing, fuzzy, amorphous, empathetic, and boundary-less–Danger Will Robinson! as some old robot used to say–we can slip into a dreamy state where all kinds of inattentiveness can get us into all kinds of trouble. I think this aspect, at 00 and with the Sun so nearby and the New Moon the next contact formed, should carry one of those cold-medicine warning labels, warning against driving, operating heavy machinery, eating everything in sight, stripping off your clothing and entering just about any available body of water, or making love with whatever’s nearby as you wear big ol’ rose-colored specs. Oh my. But at least it will be pleasant :)

New Moon in Pisces later today–please see the by-subscription newsletter for the details, or visit one of my many colleagues, blogroll at right

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 20 February 2012: ‘A Universal Mechanism’

Fantastic Adventures 1941 {{PD-Art}}

6:30 PM PST the Aquarius Moon squares Sedna; we don’t know what we’re feeling, we’ll just know we’re upset!! The heights of irrationality may be reached, fights picked, accusations hurled, as the intellect, already ill at ease with feeling (Moon in Aquarius) becomes really disoriented in her contact to Sedna, the asteroid of ‘forgetting’. Just know this is the current Universal mechanism at work, so that you will not respond harshly or take to heart what comes at you from others (they’re just as disturbed, and just as clueless!) and you’ll know how really golden silence, and if not that, then kindness, can be.

Friedrich pre-1840 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 1:23 AM PST; Moon enters Aquarius at 2:28 AM PST. We pay attention (though normally we wouldn’t) to the sassy semi-sextile of Luna to the brand spankin’ new conjunction of the Sun and Neptune, and it probably gives the feeling state a shiny (and possibly confusing) aura–what do we feel? It seems like it should be obvious, but it’s just not. Could hook the emotions to a delusion or fantasy, if we’re not careful.

8:30 PM PST and the Moon sextiles Ceres and trines the South Node. One way or another we come upon that power we were seeking earlier, and we do it by calling on something in our past, probably something we heard or were told at some previous time (Gemini).

'The Little Bird Seller' Meyer 1851 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 5 AM PST the Capricorn Moon trines Mars, and it may be very easy to accomplish–the Moon and Mars co-operate in Earth, and we can make sizable headway at this time.

Just before noon the Moon trines Sedna, and ‘I don’t know how I feel!’ becomes the refrain. Don’t fight it–it’s a time to just let things slide, and don’t work to pinpoint feelings–they are slippery things that will not be caged at this point.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 17 February 2012: ‘Barriers, and Getting Around Them’

'A Wall in Naples' Mauer 1782 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 1 AM PST the Capricorn Moon squares Uranus, perhaps making us ill at ease with the unusual, especially if we find it within ourselves. We may have the urge to do something about it (Cardinal placements)–but what? We are likely to suppress suppress suppress, but if we experience discomfort the best answer may be to face it and see it for what it really is: the bogey man of judgment. This may act as a reminder to let go of our most strenuous preconceptions.

7:30 AM PST the Moon sextiles Mercury: we may have emotional barriers up (Moon in Cap), but at this point communications can flow around these (Merc in Pisces). The engulfing nature of what’s shared, and the pure sensation of feeling available through communications, makes up for the stiff upper lip persona of the Moon right now. Those with superb emotional control (or intuitive acuity) can shape the Merc influence to bring an experience to themselves and others of strong emotional impact and deep understanding/ knowing.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 16 February 2012: ‘Dodging Awareness’

'Awaiting the Tiger' Rudolph Ernst pre-1932 {{PD-Art}}

7 AM PST the Sagittarian Moon quincunxes Sedna, making for an unusual situation: we may find ourselves dodging emotional awareness, though we won’t know what ‘knowledge’ we’re trying to avoid! Kind of an instinctive attempt to protect ourselves from some form of knowing, that really can’t be explained.

By 7 PM PST the Moon sextiles Saturn, which is lingering in the 29th degree of Libra. Boundaries and ‘rules’ in partnership are under stress and the source of emotional volatility at this time. Appreciation of those elements of security we enjoy via our mates, partners, and connections is a good antidote. Void begins at 8:03 PM PST. Moon enters Capricorn at 9:03 PM PST.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 15 February 2012: ‘Enthused’

'Harlequin and a Lady' Somov 1921 {{PD-Art}}

7 AM PST the Sagittarius Moon trines Venus and semi-sextiles Pluto, making for loving, generous, or rewarding experiences that can transform, particularly in terms of removing boundaries or obstacles. Profit comes in positive Self-assertion; loving knowledge shared (or loving prayers made) will only bring benefit.

5 PM PST the Moon sextiles Zeus, prompting ambitious acts and attempts to rope in others for support and pooling of resources (Zeus in Libra). Maybe not the best thing to act on right now, with Mars retro, but do notice what you get enthused about, what you want to get others on board for, as these may be the sparks of future projects and goings-on.

To see it all, please subscribe! Just so you know, I use Ceres, Juno (wrote a book on that), Chiron (wrote a book on that too), Vesta (writing a book on that), Pallas, Sedna, and Zeus on a regular basis, along with the major players.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 14 February 2012: ‘A Double Whammy of Illusion’

Still Life by Luttichuys The painter at work can be seen in the curved mirror c1637 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 9:05 AM PST; Moon enters Sagittarius at 4:56 PM Pacific time. Right away the Moon squares the Neptune/ Pallas conjunction. A Sag Moon makes us want to reach out emotionally, to extend a hand, but we may do so under some form of illusion about who needs our practical help, advice, or guidance, or we may persuade ourselves there’s knowledge held by some particular person or venue that we must acquire–and so may push someone to give us something they don’t really have! The best advice I can give at this point is to be aware that we are laboring under a double whammy of illusion, in both what we think we need and what we think we own to share. A measured approach, and a reticent attitude, will serve us well.
