4 PM PST the Libra Moon trines the South Node and conjuncts h.Zeus. We may draw the perfect ‘lesson’, information, or potential path from past experience that will help us realize our ambitions and desires in the present. Caution: if we didn’t learn what we needed to learn from the past, we might just repeat a bunch of dumb stuff.

9 PM PST the Moon quincunxes Ceres, and we’re asked to adjust our emotions to either make Mom or authorities more comfortable, to accommodate something ‘natural’, or someone may ask us to compromise our emotional state–a ‘feeling negotiation’ that will in some way not honor our needs. The question becomes, what’s more important, making the other party happy, or maintaining our emotional integrity? Though your initial thought may be that the answer is easy, upon further examination you’ll see that it’s not.

Just a Little Weekend Essence 19-20 November 2011: ‘A Powerful Time’

'Stonehenge' Constable {{PD-Art}}

For Saturday the 19th:

6 PM PST the Moon opposes Ceres. Will we be the highly emotional party, expressing at the feet of big bad authority, or will we be Self-possessed and perhaps a tad intrusive, distressing another with our non-co-operation? As always, neither viewpoint is superior–along with highly emotional comes the guise of being harmless and even powerless, and yet refusal to accept one’s own power is not the other person’s fault; and being cool and collected doesn’t mean you are any stronger, better, or less feeling than your ‘opponent’–it just seems that way.

And for Sunday the 20th:

Around 4 AM Pacific time the Virgo Moon squares Venus and trines Sedna. Could we have a bigger recipe for disaster? And which will we choose to f*** up, Love or Money? It’s not that we won’t be trying to do the right thing for ourselves and others, it’s that we won’t be able to feel, know, or intuit the actual situation–and if we don’t know where we are, we certainly can’t know which way (figuratively, that is) to go. The tendency may be to be critical based on what’s in our minds, not how things really are–and it only goes downhill from there :(   We’d do best to play it cool and calm in relationships, and keep our financial situation just where it is, for the moment.

1:30 PM PST the Moon sextiles the Sun (and naturally, trines the Earth!) leaving us with a sense of being ‘on the right track’, despite the simultaneous Lunar quincunx to Neptune; the latter aspect suggests we may be prompted to adjust our emotions so that illusion is ‘illuminated,’ and so possibly eliminated. Bonus x-ray influence: Can help us see who’s telling us whoppers! And, if you have a placement at 25 Cancer through 1 Leo, this creates a Grand Trine for you that, depending on the natal body aspected, could ignite dreams or creativity in a major way.

Just a Little Essence for Today 18 November 2011: ‘A Diffuse Self-Focus’

Tags

Bluemenschein c1900 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins 11:06 AM PST; Moon enters Virgo at 2:19 PM Pacific time. Right away we have an opposition to Chiron and quincunx to Uranus. We may be very critical of our own or others’ wounds, or of our own or others’ efforts at healing; the more critical we find ourselves being, in fact, the more likely it is that we are having some ego problems, probably in relation to the group, that are prompting us to insist on showing our individuality. We can be sure that if this is the source of our impulse, we are not being original, innovative, or constructive in any way. Take a healing stance and if possible diffuse Self-focus; these two measures will help you avoid what could become a very unpleasant interlude, especially in terms of relationships.

Just a Little Essence for Today 17 November 2011: ‘A Point of Revelation’

Revelations of St. Brigid Artist Unknown c1375 {{PD-Art

1:30 PM PST the Leo Moon quincunxes Ceres, and the emotions find they must accommodate nature, mother, authorities, or the need to negotiate. Being flexible will make this a relatively pleasant learning experience, while insisting on one’s emotional viewpoint as ‘right’ may cause a power struggle–which one way or another will be lost.

3 PM PST the Moon opposes Vesta and trines Mercury. This may be a point of revelation, where we learn something vital about something that’s sacred to us. We can be sure that the message is one of how best to proceed or act (Fire trine). Even though this involves our highest values, we may receive the information with an unusually objective eye that allows us to see our own priorities clearly–and so to judge their worth with a better-than-average ability.

Just a Little Essence for Today 16 November 2011: ‘A Leonine Stretch’

Huet 1802 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 4:53 AM PST; Moon enters Leo at 8:17 AM PST. The emotional Self roars, intent on expressing the individuality (trine Uranus)–but will this be an expression of the primal wounded Self, or of the healing to the wounds that has occurred? (quincunx to Chiron). We may not be able to consciously choose, as the ego/ identity will feel it’s need to roar outweighs any other consideration in the moment–and maybe it does, as we take a Leonine s-t-r-e-t-c-h after too much attention to others, too much caring (not that that’s bad, just that it’s draining if we don’t balance with attention to our own needs).

Just a Little Essence for Today 15 November 2011: ‘Valuing the ‘V’s’

Mokritsky 1841 {{PD-Art}}

6 AM PST the Cancer Moon quincunxes Venus, trines Ceres, and begins a Finger of God with base of Venus/ Vesta. This is a Finger that points out the power of Woman/ anima and that challenges each of us to appreciation of the Venusian with regard for our highest values, home life, and/ or intimate partner, probably with the emotional aid of authorities, Mom, or someone with strong negotiation ability. If we can value our Vesta ‘investments’ we will gain emotional satisfaction, and/ or ‘tune in’ our intuition involving Venus/ Vesta matters. This is an excellent opportunity for women to strengthen ties to what they care most about: those things from which they draw deep emotional satisfaction. For men, this signals a chance to get in touch with and understand their own connection to the feminine, to nurturing, to the partner, and to home, family, and values, and possibly to develop a stronger form of support for the females in his life.

Just a Little Essence for Today 14 November 2011: ‘Feeling and Vulnerability’

Tags

Mary Cassatt c1900 {{PD-Art}}

Moon enters Cancer at 11:19 PM PST of the 13th, with immediate trine to Chiron and square to Uranus. We care, we want to heal (especially someone or something outside ourselves) and may feel we are singled out or ostracized for it. A high point for feeling misunderstood, and a time when we also might be taken advantage of, especially by those who might justify it philosophically, or by a group to which we belong (or would like to). The stronger the feeling dynamic at this time, the more vulnerable, and probably ‘off course’ in terms of what we’d truly like to nurture in our lives, we’ll be. Exceptions may be those with a teensy masochistic streak.

A sextile to Mars at 1 AM Pacific puts the Moon in a dynamic position, and some who felt a lot of frustration in the Moon/ Chiron/ Uranus fiasco may push forward, determined to nurture the hell out of something; don’t let this be you :)   Instead use Mars like a counterweight, balancing the caring urge with a careful accounting of where we’re spending our energy. This begins a Finger of God with base of Mars/ Moon and apex of Pallas. Positive use of the base energies opens the way to wisdom and practical skills put at our disposal. Can give a huge boost to productive and practical efforts if ‘played’ correctly.

Just a Little Essence for Today 8 November 2011: ‘Avoiding Disaster’

Copley 1782 {{PD-Art}}

Post 10 AM PST the Aries Moon opposes Saturn in Libra. Will it be us, putting the brakes on ourselves and our assertive emotional (or emotion-driven assertion) Self, or will someone or something else throw obstacles in our path? We either meld the emotional perceptions with Saturn principles and hobble ourselves (and this isn’t necessarily bad!) or we feel divorced from the ideas of repression, restraint, Self-discipline, or tradition and the rules, and someone else steps in to give us a smackdown. Don’t take it personally–take it instead as the Universe helping us to avoid disaster :)

Just a Little Essence for Today 7 November 2011: ‘A Part of Nature’

'Rest at Harvest' Bouguereau 1865 {{PD-Art}}

Around 4 PM PST the Moon hits the midpoint of Ceres/ Earth. May create a sudden, flowing emotional connection, like a heartbeat or a nerve impulse, between the individual and the Earth or nature. The sense is that the planet is alive, moving, respiring beneath our feet, that the air is a prana meant to fill us, the awareness not just of our connectedness but of ourselves as integral parts (though that word sounds too separate) of nature. Can be refreshing, replenishing, healing, and offer an entirely new viewpoint, even for those long in close contact with Mother Earth.

By 5 PM Pacific the Moon is quincunx the Sun; we may be busy adjusting our Self-image, or our Purpose, or even our emotional response to existence. The kind of moment that at one time was defined as ‘heavy’ :)

Just a Little Essence for Today 6 November 2011: ‘Game Changer’

'A Venetian Gaming House in the 16th Century' Prinsep {{PD-Art))

9 PM PST sees the Arian Moon trine Mercury and square Pluto. It’s easy to communicate–but what we hear, say, write, learn, or convey through action (Aries) or by broadcasting, reaching out, or through education channels (Sagittarius) may be a game-changer–or destroyer. The contrast between the ease with which our thoughts flow and the effect they have on others or a situation can’t be overemphasized. Our emotional Self-focus (Moon in Aries) makes it tough to anticipate the impact of our communications; look to the matters of the House where Pluto now transits, the House where Pluto is posited natally, and the House ruled by Pluto in the natal chart, to see in which direction the change or destruction might flow.
