'Harlequin in Love' Somov 1912 {{PD-Art}}

8 AM PDT the Pisces Moon conjuncts Ceres, uniting the emotional perceptions with a sense of power–or does it? Reaction to this may depend on your association between the main maternal figure in your life and power–if there are or were struggles, or a feeling of powerlessness in her presence, or if your power continually had to be negotiated for, you might not enjoy this transit much. ‘Flashback’ could be the word for the day.

8 PM PDT we have a Finger of God with base of Moon/ Sedna and apex of Saturn in Libra. This suggests that we don’t know our feelings at this point–and by not knowing them, we solidify something in relationship. Instead of the usual, ‘We must make the base work to get to the apex energy,’ this Finger will ‘point’ of its own accord, no effort required. There’s almost no way to be prepared for this–hidden or suppressed energies likely will out.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 4 November 2011: ‘Resonant Emotions’

8 AM the Pisces Moon sextiles Jupiter; can it get any better? Oh yes, we will feel expansive, and connecting with others will come naturally (I mean, without any awkwardness or reticence). Just before 10 AM PDT the Moon sextiles Pluto, and this may have the effect of deepening what’s already in front of us. Can add resonance to the emotional scene and bring a seriousness that will nurture the intimacy of any connections we’re making at this time.

Please subscribe~and thank you to everyone who commented yesterday on my experience with the protesters. I’m unhappy to see an effective mass protest that held so much promise devolve into a stereotype. I gather those promoting violence have been repudiated by the OWS–and that gave me hope that the movement will continue without the destruction.

Though my experience was nothing like this, why should it be? That kind of behavior changes nothing. Aquarel by Lisner c1770 {{PD}}

4:30 PM PDT the Aquarian Moon opposes Mars; there are two (or more!) possible effects, most likely being a sense that we’ve been stripped of ego by some emotional occurrence, or that we must confront the anger of another with only our intuition and feeling nature to guide us. Could be a little scary, for a variety of reasons. There may be a feeling that we should do something to ‘handle’ the situation, but we should keep in mind that the upset is really someone else’s–they’re just trying to share.

To see the rest, please subscribe! On a personal note, I was caught downtown about 8:30 PM of the 2nd in an offshoot of the Occupy Seattle movement; I’m very much in sympathy with the movement itself, but these people who wore hoods, linked arms to block street access, and carried bats, did not seem to be looking for reformation of the system, but to intimidate. There’s an old aphorism that you can’t end war by hating war, you must instead love peace; in this instance, I think these protesters might need to re-evaluate an approach that used threats of violence to . . . what? The only point they made to me was that those who choose this approach do so to make themselves feel important, to feel they are ‘doing something.’ If all you’re adding to the world is hate, are you any better than the people and methods you object to? And if what you’re doing is done with integrity, if you’re proud of it, why are you wearing hoods?

Helpful WPA Poster c1930s US Gov {{PD}}

Just after 7:30 AM PDT the Aquarian Moon squares the Sun/ Earth axis, bringing our abilities to assess our progress on the Path and in material matters to a sharpened focus. We survey it all with a cool eye; in fact, we must, as we are prompted by some sort of emotional disturbance to look closely at what we’re up to. At this point, we’re unlikely to be dissatisfied with our efforts.

5:30 PM PDT the Moon makes for a lovely Grand Trine with h.Zeus and the South Node. We draw on past experience to align the emotional state with the ambitions and desires; this is like fuel, removing internal obstacles to ambition fulfillment. Can give one a real boost, especially in attitude, and if you have plans in place, this can make them soar.

'La Fortuna' Agache 1885 {{PD-Art}}

Unfortunately, this is a day of mostly warnings (see the rest on the protected page, by subscription). Just after midnight the Capricorn Moon trines Sedna and squares Saturn. We can’t see obstacles, problems, or boundaries! Good for pushing forward with dreams,unless those dreams take us near cliffs or heavy machinery. The quincunx between Saturn and Sedna is lingering and means we’ll have difficulty for some time knowing when enough is enough, what the rules really are, and when to, as Nancy R. so eloquently put it, “Just say no.” The Moon’s contact only brings the emotional and intuitive energies to focus in this direction, in this case with an almost criminally easy disregard for the rules. Play it safe, or takes your chances :)

5 PM Pacific the Aquarian Moon sextiles Uranus, bringing little emotional shocks, surprises, and revelations–and maybe more than one of these. We know emotionally what about our own actions or ego has drawn these to us; it’s a point of understanding that is bigger than its parts.

Merc joins Venus at 29 degrees–and we probably won’t be able to stop communicating, or thinking about, our Venus pressures! There might be a lot of thinking about passions, values, and the worth of things, so that we may be quite abruptly prompted to drop certain interests, seemingly out of the blue.

For heaven’s sake, subscribe! The new issue of ECLIPSE comes out today, evening of the 1st Pacific time. Includes your Tongue-In-Cheek Guide to Surviving the Holidays, your detailed forecast, and much more!

'Medieval Women as Warriors' Artist unknown {{PD-Art}}

It’s a day light on Lunar aspects, but I can share this tidbit:

1:30 PM PDT the Capricorn Moon sextiles Ceres; we see aid from those in authority (or we are just able to get along with them!) or Mother Nature gives us a boost, or our negotiations go well. We in some way get a little more power in one or more arenas.

'Riding the Sacred Elephant'--surely that's a euphemism for something we should all try Artist unknown c1675 {{PD-Art}}

for Saturday, the 29th (remember, effects span 3-4 hours either side of a Lunar aspect)

Right before 10 PM PDT the Sag Moon trines Mars in Leo; does this bring some Fire into our lives? Maybe, if we’ve recently had a lot of Indian food, or if we are inclined to big, expansive emotional displays that are tightly linked to the ego. Everyone else might simply be prompted to finally take the first step on that exotic trip they’ve been dreaming about, to finally act on long-time feelings, or to head for the horizon, literally or figuratively, looking for ‘more’ or ‘better’ Make choices with care; even if we wake up somewhere new, we still have a lot of ‘old’ to deal with.

. . . and for the 30th

6 AM Pacific time sees the Sag Moon sextile Neptune. This can make us think we know things, even though those things are really figments of our imaginations. Though we normally may see ourselves as psychic, sensitive, or just plain observant, the Neptune placement in Aquarius is too mind-focused to allow a true psychic flow–we instead substitute the mentality, and the Sag Moon brings an emphasis on knowing that doesn’t like to go unanswered, with the combination substituting the imagination and supposition for psychic perception. Just so you know.

Void begins 6:30 AM PDT, exacerbating the tendency promised by the previous aspect to lead ourselves astray; Moon enters Capricorn, sign of tough little goats climbing rock solid mountains of facts, at 9:39 AM PDT. Could be a tremendous jolt for those who got swept away by their own ‘psychic vision aka trick of the imagination’ Now reality will intrude–probably rudely. Everyone else may breathe a sigh of relief as what is takes firm shape around us and we gain confidence and security in dealing with matter, not fantasy. The opening sextile to Chiron can make us sensitive, and/ or draw forward our Chirotic skills in real-world ways; Pallas sits at the Moon/ Chiron midpoint, infusing the effort with wisdom and purpose.

For much more, please subscribe–your support makes the daily Lunar essence, ‘Born Today,’ and ECLIPSE possible–Thank You!

Just a Little Essence for Today 28 October 2011: ‘Heading for the Emotional Hills’

Void begins at 4:50 AM Pacific time; the Moon enters Sagittarius at 7:45 AM PDT. A sextile to Pallas and square to Chiron kick things off in the sign of the archer; we feel smart! and yet vulnerable, and very aware of our wound and our weakness. This kind of influence can prompt some to bluster and others to retreat into ‘what I know,’ and still others may head for the emotional hills. None of these is a particularly effective way to meet things, but our reaction does tell us quite clearly what stresses we are under and where our weak spots lie–and it’s always good to be informed, especially under a Sag Moon!

Yosemite by T. Hill 1871 {{PD-Art}}

4 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes the exact Earth/ Jupiter conjunction and semi-sextiles Pluto. This is very much a social awareness aspect, with concurrent urges to transform, destroy, or grab power observed or acted on. We see the consequences of the social order on the material situation, and we are prepared, to some extent, to do something about it. Just don’t be Self-destructive in the process; this is the kind of influence that pushes people into quitting their job or vandalizing corporate property in an ‘I’ll show them!’ frame of mind, when the only fruitful actions will spring from an awareness that the social order cares not for the individual.

'Happy Age! Golden Age' by Watteau c1718 {{PD-Art}}

9 AM PDT the Scorpio Moon trines Ceres; we can get authorities, nature, or Mom on our side, probably by making an emotional appeal. Good for presentations and negotiations, as long as we can be relatable in what we show of ourselves.

7 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Mercury, and this dynamic duo create a T square with an opposition to Sedna and square to Mars. With Mars in the ‘arm’ of the configuration, we see the emotions drive talk/ communication almost compulsively and we are unaware of what we’re communicating! And this, in some way, causes us to act, possibly in defense of the ego or identity (Leo) Remember the saying, ‘Silence is golden’? In this case, it really is.

Blake's 'Red Dragon' {{PD-Art}}

The New Moon in Scorpio occurs at 12:54 PM PDT of the 26th at 3 Scorpio 02. I’m making the orb a little bigger this time; we’ll say a full 3 degrees, as there are just too many bodies gathered so close to aspect–and that makes me think they’re straining to be heard in this New Moon configuration. That means the Moon/ Sun combo is conjunct Juno and opposed Jupiter, quincunxes Uranus and trines Chiron, and sextiles Pluto. It’s all about power, power specifically derived either through relationship or through one’s status and the friction this relationship or status generates–it’s the birth of strong, powerful, and perhaps vengeful urges–that will definitely, radically, change, and likely heal, things. This New Moon brings forward a dark, beautiful heart that rises from the ashes of previous clashes, upsets, and confrontations, renewed in Scorpio.

Above is the New Moon essence; if you’d like more, please subscribe! Thank you!
