Frith 1872 {{PD-Art}}

6:30 AM PST the Moon conjuncts Saturn, trines Neptune, and quincunxes Ceres, all in the 29th degree of their respective signs. Here’s a pot of tension, coming to a boil, where partners or co-operative others are the target, and the urge is to repress, deceive or confuse, inspire, and boss around. You can see why this boils over, and why those we choose to express frustrations to may not be the real object of upset, and the same will be true of us–we are not reallythe correct target for others but oh we may be aimed at anyway! Restraint, not insisting on running our territory at the moment, and a willingness to treat the energy imaginatively, may all pay off.

Void begins at 7:29 AM PST; the Moon enters Scorpio at 8:33 AM PST. We start with . . . nothing exact yet–it’s been some time since we were without an immediate, exact to the degree aspect when the Moon changes sign–and that may be good, as we aren’t whiplashed right away with some formidable energy. Just after 10 AM PST the Moon opposes Jupiter and quincunxes Uranus, probably sending us into a uniqueness tizzy, where we insist on ‘being ourselves’ in a way that even rubs us the wrong way! And the social scene wishes we would sit down, too :(

My thought for the day? If all we have is hate, then that’s what we give away–and it says everything about the giver, and nothing about the recipient.

Venus to Chiron: ‘I Love You, It Hurts!’

Venus may laugh at us, if we take our Chirotic wounds too seriously right now. WP Firth 1852 century {{PD-Art}}

This is a good representation of the mini-essays on aspects, planet and asteroid ingresses, and configurations that can be found in ECLIPSE. To subscribe, go here–and Thanks!

Love meets the primal wound, and offers both healing and, to those so inclined, the temptation to treasure the wound–we can see what it’s worth, and it will take a brave individual to set that material for manipulation aside and apply the Venusian balm. Too, Venus may bring Love to that Chirotic skill or gift–and prompt its sharing with others, bringing Chiron in practice to a new, transpersonal level of expression (at least temporarily). Depending on our own typical viewpoint, we may at this time credit relationships with being a major source of pain, see relationship as the only thing that can heal us (and thus become a tad desperate or demanding), view love, money, or our own talents as the only thing that can heal our hurt, or see any or all of these as perpetual sources of wounding, playing into the primal hurt and seeing our opportunity for love, money, or reward as swallowed by our injury. The Pisces placement brings up the possibility that we may project our hurt, or our ability to heal, on the Collective, and make others responsible for what happens in our personal situation–better to see that our pain is not unique (an immature Chiron can sometimes persuade us that we are the only ones who’ve experienced such profound injury), that indeed we share our wounded nature with all others–and that this commonality should lighten our load considerably, as we realize that these wounds have been handled and healed by many many people throughout time–and so there’s a good chance that we may heal, too.

Venus, of course, is playful, and wants to enjoy life; if we take our wounds too seriously, insisting that a good time is unavailable because we must take time to suffer, we may get a surprise, in the form of a desired or desirable person or object that will not play the game, who instead takes our pain lightly–and with good reason, as acceptance of a Venusian lighter attitude would (at least in the moment) soothe, and heal, at least a little bit. We may also make the enormous mistake of seeing Love as the wounding agent itself; if we do, we should realize that this suggests what we are calling Love is not really Love at all, for real Love cannot harm–and so we may want to redefine a mislabeled action or feeling. This all kicks up on the 15th.

2 AM PST the Moon opposes Ceres–here the emotions may push us to contradict or confront a maternal energy, or an authority who demands acquiescence or negotiation (the latter for what we likely feel are our rights!) Just know that you will not change this person’s mind; they believe in their own authority, and their right to be an authority over you. Stick to the facts and insist that others do so, if you want to actively maintain your autonomy.

4 AM PST the Moon quincunxes Neptune, suggesting that we modify our feeling in order to deal with illusion, deception offered, or delusion, all likely of an intellectual nature. Imagine an encounter where someone tries to persuade you of something by appealing to the logic and reason of the intellect–and yet does not embrace fact or make sense! Clear thinking will help you navigate this, along with a willingness to see what’s really in front of you.

Void begins at 4:15 AM PST; the Moon enters Libra at 5:28 AM PST. First aspect is the Moon quincunx Venus; we may be wondering how our emotional perceptions varied so much from our concept of love, and we are reminded of how to put the relationship right again. The dissonance came about through the petty narrowing of focus that it’s easy to fall into when working things out with others (Libra)–now we are re-focused on the Love principle, with positive results. This is the start of a Finger of God with base of Venus/ Jupiter, apex of Moon, that suggests taking a more Universal approach (Pisces) on the social scene (Jupiter) may be the key to emotional fulfillment in relationship at this time, with Taurus implying a material, nurturing, or artistic component to the equation.

Remember, effects stretch about 4 hours either side of exact (with times listed here being close to, but typically just before, perfection). To see more, please subscribe! And please see the post for the 13th if you’re interested in services–I’m almost totally booked–thanks!  BOOKED OUT FOR THIS SESSION–THANK YOU!

Yoshitsuya's 'The Battle of Magic' with one contestant transformed into a serpent, the other into a bird of prey c1860 {{PD-Art}}

From the newsletter:

The 13th Venus conjuncts Neptune at 29 degrees, then moves into Pisces; this could take whatever relationship, love, money, or talent issues raised yesterday and apply a thick coating of delusion, fantasy, or creative mo-jo, then move it into full embodiment. Whatever Neptunian form we apply to our current Venusian matters will straight away enter our Collective experience–which means we will be able to see and experience the Neptunian applications of others, as well as see our own in living color! A very interesting period, when we might be surprised, mislead, or even deceived by what we see manifesting for and around others.

For much more, please subscribe! I have available consultation spots–subscribers will receive a significant discount–please keep in mind that astrology as I do it is a personal service, and that means that I accept commissions at my discretion, and may have to refuse if I cannot give you the best consultation possible. Spots will fill quickly; if I have worked with you in the last two years in a private, paid capacity, I ask that you do not apply at this time–I want to give some who have missed the window previously a chance! I will be accepting two kinds of work: brief single question or topic analysis, or more in-depth exploration of a single issue, problem, or topic, with subscribers paying $15 for more simple issues and $25 for more complex; non-subscribers pay $55 and $65, respectively. These consultations aim to answer your question completely but succinctly, so if you’re looking for volume, you’ll be happier with someone windier! Typically it amounts to a couple of exchanges between us, with no extra questions tacked on at the end allowed, so it’s worth it to know as precisely as possible at the start what you are really interested in knowing. I may use horary, transits, Solar Arcs, Secondary Progressions, or other tested methods, my choice, and do not provide detailed explanations as to how I work as this is not specifically a teaching session, though I usually give general information when warranted–if you are uninterested in the astrological workings of things, and just want an answer, saying so wins subscribers a $5 discount, non-subscribers $10. Contact me at my name no spaces at hotmail dot com with your intended question–please do not pay anything before we have reached mutual agreement. If all these conditions sound okay to you, talk with you soon! And please check the latest post or on the services page whenever checking on my availability–I’m typically unable to answer requests for service that happen outside times when I’m available. If you are a fan of ‘Born Today’, I can do a brief (one-three paragraphs per month) year long assessment in this style keyed specifically to your chart and transit picture–$50 for all.  AS OF 3 AM THE 14TH I’M BOOKED–THANK YOU ALL–I’LL TRY TO DO THIS AT LEAST EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS

A Virgo Moon inclines us to detailed work and a practical attitude. del Cossa c1470 Fresco at Palazzo Shifanoia {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 12:24 AM Pacific time; the Moon enters Virgo at 1:45 AM PST. We kick off the Moon’s transit of Virgo with a trine to Jupiter, suggesting that the entire passage may present us with exaggerated accounting, attention to detail, focus on the harvest and results, and a propensity toward criticism and dissection of situations. Virgo is not a friendly sign, in the conventional meaning, but it does find the breaking of bread and sharing of results worked for particularly rewarding–and this is the way to relate when nitpicking or critique threatens to separate us from one another.

Post-noon Pacific time the Moon trines Mercury, then moves directly after to trine Pluto. This brings emotional awareness to a deep knowing that has been building and moving toward consciousness over the past 4-5 days, and inaugurates a period of radical (and perhaps destructive) honesty and revelation. Some with natal inclinations to use words as weapons may succumb at this point, but for most of us, this is a chance to contact intense and possibly buried feelings and thoughts that will help us to a much greater understanding of ourselves and our world. Note what comes to the mental surface–this is vital and useful information.

If you are here often, please subscribe–at only $5 per month, it’s affordable for everyone, and it generously supports the work I do. Thank You!

Just before noon Pacific time the Leo Moon semi-sextiles Mars and squares Sedna, suggesting we will not be aware of our aggression–an ability to pretend we don’t have any angry or defensive or offensive energies is ours, and that means we are likely to attack and at the very least believe we aren’t doing so! There is the chance we are conscious of those aggressive urges but that for one reason or another we pretend we do not see them. Think carefully about what it is to pretend to harmlessness when we are to some extent aware that we are not.

5 PM PST the Moon squares Juno; this only puts the empowerment needs in conflict with the emotional ones, and may result in some crying jags, resentful acquiescence to others, accusations of strong-arming, and other examples of out-of-control emotions and fear that we will be helpless or at the mercy of others. We win, not in a Charlie Sheen way, but in an honest-to-gosh-that-was-worth-it way, if we can realize that the sense of helplessness is truly an illusion–that’s really all it takes, a little confidence in the Leonine Self-reliance and surety, and a wee roar to let others know who’s boss of us.

The Cancer Full Moon of 8 January 2012: ‘A Wedding’

'Choosing the Wedding Gown' Goldsmith c1840 {{PD-Art}}

This is from the Full Moon report available in the newsletter–to see it all, please subscribe!

Cancer Full Moon at 11:29 PM Pacific time on January 8th at 18 Cancer 25

The only aspect is a quincunx to Pallas. Without other significant input, this Full Moon may bring its great, shining luminosity to bear on that single relationship, exaggerating what should be a call to adjustment until it feels like a full-blown emergency centered on our ability to exercise good judgment. The Sabian may help: ‘A Priest Performing a Marriage Ceremony’ We have few bigger points in life at which we must exercise good judgment than the one(s) at which we choose the life partner; the question then becomes (for I’m assuming that for the vast majority of us, this is not literal) to what am I marrying myself, that I should perhaps understand more about? The fact that the aspect of Moon/ Earth to Pallas is a quincunx alerts us to the need for adjustment or modification, so that when we see the Sabian we know that there is a union in the offing that needs, in some important way, to be altered (no church pun intended!)

Look to the House in the natal chart where the Full Moon falls for clues as to the life arenas where you are merging with something that definitely needs your attention; the promise is that you will find something that needs correction or modification–and that this will likely bring the ‘wedding’ successfully to fulfillment.

The rest of the report is available in the newsletter–I value what I do, and I hope you do, too–that’s why it’s only $5 per month, affordable and informative!

Hodler 1893 {{PD-Art}}

The material for the rest of today from the Lunar Picture on the Protected Page is presented here as a courtesy to my subscribers, some of whom have not been able to get to the page due to a widespread WordPress problem. Sorry!

Just after 9 AM PST the Moon trines Saturn, making it very easy for us to get into the reality swim of things. This supports constructive action, as the emotions and intuition aid and generally (barring personal aspects that contradict) allowing us some extra clear vision, and in this case, bringing us co-operation (Libra).

The contact to Saturn also begins a swift Grand Trine of Moon, Saturn, and Neptune. This opens a ‘dream time’ where emotional cues can guide our material choices and actions and help us very accurately materialize a dream or two. By 11 AM Pacific the Moon opposes Mercury in the 29th degree; can you say unhappy? Not with what we’ve been pulling from our creative within and bringing into the world–that birthing is going just fine–it will be feedback we get from without, from those who aren’t really involved but who decide to lob a critical grenade, anyway. Pay no attention–their words hold something you can learn from (maybe just that such opinion tossing isn’t flattering for the speaker!) but their critique of your attempts and actions is not worth your time :)

Void begins 11:53 AM PST; the Moon enters Cancer at 1:05 PM PST. Right away the Moon squares Uranus and sextiles Jupiter, making for a ‘Big Picture’ viewpoint that is focused through the individuality urge–and so very Self-concerned. This may draw criticism. One of the down sides of a Cancer Moon is that the atmosphere becomes very caring–and woe unto those who don’t care the way others do! It can be a very judgmental influence, and anyone with any untargeted assertive energy is liable to use love or caring as a gentle bludgeon. Just be prepared, and don’t let that be you.

5 PM PST the Moon trines Chiron–take advantage of the healing available, possibly through emotional sharing, through intuitive knowing, or from the Collective.

This takes us through 2 AM tomorrow when the Moon opposes Pluto–and hopefully WordPress will have resolved the access issue by then! Thank you for your patience–I know I don’t have any! jd

Just after 6 AM PST the Gemini Moon conjuncts the South Node; we may either very willingly take a walk down memory lane, or we may re-live some past words–they come back at us, and our reaction could be all over the map. Response is probably dependent on how much of a shift we’ve made since those words were spoken–if we now see ourselves as a different person, this recall could cause us embarrassment, upset, or even pain. Owning all of who we are is necessary, and not always easy.

8PM PST the Moon trines Venus and squares Mars. You’re a Lover, Not a Fighter! So why is that ego coming at you? Someone may attack–and if you come under fire, know that this is your own disowned aggression bouncing back. Nip this in the bud–recognize where you are being aggressive–this is likely in some area where you are pretending to get along with someone! It’s all for the better if you recognize that in the end, your acting may be fooling the other person, but it’s not fooling the Universe.

'Satan Watching the Caresses of Adam and Eve' 1808 Wm Blake {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 12:47 AM PST. The Moon enters Gemini at 2:45 AM Pacific time.

Right away we have the Moon sextile Uranus with Jupiter at the midpoint. Talk and thoughts are spontaneous, with an anything can be said (or happen!) aura to things–and we will either blurt them out publicly or we will totally exaggerate, largely trying to have a big effect on things. Neither is a good idea.

4:30 PM PST the Moon squares Vesta and quincunxes Pluto. Our most important values seem to conflict with what we’re feeling–think wanting to say something we might otherwise think would never come out of our mouths (Gemini)–and we have a kind of perverse desire to destroy–but is it someone else, with our words, or ourselves, as we feel we’re terribly flawed for having an impulse that seemingly contradicts all that we stand for? ‘Seemingly’ may be the key; this experience is specifically yours so that you may see that your values may need modifying, not your thoughts and feelings! Honesty is paramount, if we are to make the most of this influence.
