23 November 2010: Classically Creative

By 8 AM PST the Moon trines Neptune and creates a loose Grand Trine with Venus in lovely Libra. Energies of creation, aesthetics, and emotions balance and can be very effectively tapped  for personal use. 10 AM and the Moon follows up with a square to Uranus and Chiron is added to the Grand Trine. This could prompt creative energies manifested either using unique Chirotic skills or that are inspired by hurt–both are classic creative scenarios that will have an originality and  that may appear suddenly, a bolt of generative lightning that can inspire major work or ideas.

Void begins at 1:57 PM Pacific, and ends with the Moon’s entry into Cancer at 5:13 Pacific. In the interim, it might be best to take the afternoon (or whatever it is for you) off. If it’s anything where you are like it is where I am, you are snowbound–after that creative surge, sit back, put your feet up, and have a little cocoa 🙂

22 November 2010: Sagittarius Raw

Get this sassy Sag on a mug http://www.cafepress.com/dogandsunflower

 The Sun enters 00 Sagittarius and the Earth enters 00 Gemini at 2:14 AM PST. As planets of earliest degree, we may ‘lead with our identity’ or with a strong consciousness of our material position (by ‘lead’ I mean in that way we put this element of the Self forward first). At 00, though, it has a raw edge (some might call it innocent) and that can spell vulnerability for the first couple days of the transit through Sagittarius. Just take care to assess a situation before rushing in (and be conscious of the ‘foot’ you start out on!)

November Full Moon Forecast: Empowerment Through Partnership

November’s Full Moon occurs at 9:27 AM PST on the 21st at 29 Taurus 17. This is an anaretic degree, one that inherently carries a vibe of extreme stress. The Moon is, as always with a Full Moon, conjunct the Earth and opposed the Sun, and this month we see the suggestion that it is, in a psychic and spiritual sense, impossible for the emotions to contradict (oppose) the Soul identity–and yet, symbolically, they do.

This tension implies that any aspect in effect will be extraordinarily important, and when we use our strict 2 degree orb to determine what will be the message of the Full Moon, we find a quincunx of the Moon/ Earth to the just-direct Venus in Libra, who is so new in her movement that she is not yet even transiting at characteristic speed. Venus is at home, and ruler of the Moon at this point, setting up a dynamic that is highly intimate; the suggestion is that love and partnership, or our relationship to the Arts, is challenged to adjust to the emotional and material realities that surround us–and yet, with all ruled by the involved energy, it becomes extremely difficult to sort out clearly what that reality is–it is in danger of being vetted through a ‘love’ or ‘values’ lens that does not allow for objectivity.

We also find a Fist of God with the Moon/ Earth as apex, and a base of Cardinal square between Ceres and Saturn/ h. Zeus. This says that the Full Moon’s meaning manifests via a mechanism that is born of the conflict between elements of nature and/ or authority (Ceres) and the establishment/ tradition (Saturn) and/ or the desires and ambitions (h. Zeus) associated with ‘what is.’

The energies are in little clusters, like tiny bombs, waiting to surprise us. Merc/ Mars in Sag, Venus quincunx Uranus=everyone may feel the urge to reach out and tell it ‘like it is,’ at least from their point of view. It makes for exuberant communication that can pass on a great deal of knowledge, whether the one communicating knows it or not! So, the danger is cheerful verbal diarrhea, or some really effective (possibly in ways not anticipated) teaching, preaching, or travel plans. If you’re in a vulnerable position, information-wise, take some care to protect yourself. The indiviudal can feel open to the group, to love, and to big earning scenarios that take an extreme amount of caution and finesse to negotiate.

For the rest of the forecast, get ECLIPSE, which includes a password to the Private Pages here http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/the-latest-new-fall-2010-eclipse/ The material is for serious students, professionals, and accomplished amateurs, the forecasts are for everyone, and at only $4.95 for 3 Months of access, detailed transit pictures, and extra features, it’s a bargain!

Thanks to All for your input; though I was essentially trying to find out what was missing from ECLIPSE, I found out a lot of other things, as well–it seems the mag will stay as it is for now, with the goal of catering to those who want a more in-depth experience related to this site.

One facet of the 19th: By the end of the day the Sun and Earth are planets of latest degree, suggesting we will be very much ‘on point’ with issues–we’ll want to take care of business, and may do some serious thinking about who we are and what we’ve surrounded ourselves with–all in harmony with the prevailing material-focused influences.

Find new info on the rest of the month, and the effect of the Venus/ Jupiter directions, on the Private Pages and the Evolving November Forecast page, here at the blog. Access is available through ECLIPSE magazine; purchase of the latest issue brings the password and articles, detailed forecasts, and more!  http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/the-latest-new-fall-2010-eclipse/  Thanks, and watch out for that Fist of God–it combines with the turnarounds of Venus and Jupiter to cook up one heck of a punch! All discussed on the Private Pages~

And, get the complete Full Moon outlook only on the Private Pages! On that note . . . if you’re not an ECLIPSE Reader, why not? I’d love to know.

. . . but immediate effects will be subtle (unless Venus or Jupiter has been squatting on one of your precious points, in which case you may see something free-up noticeably in the positive–but whether this event looks positive to you will be another matter!) There’s lots of talk about the effects of this on the Private Pages–get access and more here http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/the-latest-new-fall-2010-eclipse/

Caveat for the day, from those very same Private Pages:

By 6 PM Pacific on the 18th the Moon quincunxes the Sun and sextiles Chiron, with Uranus bracketed in between. This suggests the emotions are out of sync with ‘what is’ and that they are seeking sensation, likely through negative means. The emotions may fix on hurt of the Self or the wounding of others and indulge in shock, given or received; or, in some rare cases, we will muster the gifts again in benefiting the group. It’s not so much our choice as an expression of certain inclinations–and if you find yourself drifting toward the negative form of this energy, you must deliberately contemplate the Chirotic nature and pull forward that thing you can do for others that you can’t do for yourself, and offer it.

For an idea of how this fits in to the rest of the aspect picture, see the Private Pages, accessible 24/7 with your password. Thanks!

'The Birth of Venus' Cabanel 1863 {{PD-Art}}

While we’re waiting around for those all-powerful Directions of Venus and Jupiter, let’s take a look at what lovely Venus is trying to tell us. She acts right now as the apex of a Finger of God, with base of Uranus sextile Earth (and, by the 6 PM PST hour of the 18th, a stationary Venus receives the opposing light of the Aries Moon, adding emotional revelation and resistance to the picture). The config suggests that, no matter what preceded it, the end of the Venus retro brings shocking, surprising, or just plain unusual material/ physical results. This outcome may be centered in the matters Venus has resurrected from 8 years ago, or may combine the matters of the Houses where Earth and Uranus are situated currently in the natal chart–in any case, the typical channeling of the sextile out through the apex occurs, but is then reversed with Venus’ station–and we can expect that the biggest jolt, shock, or moment of understanding is presented in terms of our values, relationships, or earning capacity/ assets and the way these alter the material reality, physical circumstances, and/ or have an intellectual or group-focused impact. We likely get our first taste of the true meaning of this with the Moon’s opposition to Venus, which introduces us to the way we feel about what’s going on, offers intuitive understanding of developments, and may bring temper or Willfulness to the fore (Aries). The brief Void that follows opposition unleashes a bit of chaos, which is fully implemented with Venus’ Direct motion. Of course, all this may be internal (or, if the 12th is involved, or either apex or all or part of the sextile sits below the horizon for you), some or all of the effect may be unconscious, and so perhaps not recognized as the change or conclusion that it is until well after the fact.

16 November 2010: It Gets Messy

From here it’s all just waiting for the Direction of Venus and Jupiter, on the 18th (see the Evolving November Forecast for more detail), followed by the Full Moon of the 21st–but there are some highlights along the way, starting with the Moon’s square to the Nodal axis and Pluto, 9:30-ish PM the 16th. This says emotional tension, the kind that’s totally under control until it’s not! Pluto likes to speak softly and carry that big stick, and he will be taking names. Sticking up for ourselves is not an option–we’ll be in Aries Moon territory, which for Pluto is little brother territory–he will not take kindly to an assertive (or aggressive) upstart. Check the way this hooks into the natal for details on how you might be vulnerable. For myself, this config fills in a Grand Cross with my Mercury; my mouth is liable to fly open, with Pluto inserting every foot he can find and me going on a destructive tear that leaves me nailed to the Cross but good! Like Carly said, Anticipation Anyway, more than caution is in order; this is one of those times I for one will be chaining myself to the radiator, so that no one is injured as I go emotionally werewolf.

15 November 2010: Awash in Emotion

The Sun is trine Jupiter in Water; we will either love the feeling of being awash in perception and emotion, or may feel like we’re drowning. In the first case, enjoy it, and in the latter, the attention must go to allowing a kind of surrender to emotional realities. In both cases the outcome can be positive if we have the humility to recognize forces at work in the Universe and in ourselves that are larger than individual consciousness.

Moon square Pallas on the 15th in the 9 AM Pacific hour may bring flashes of brilliance (possibly even in the midst of conflict!) or wise (though perhaps not easy to swallow) guidance. Don’t be too proud to do what’s best.

The 7 PM hour sees the Moon trine Vesta in Water. This is a wonderful influence to mend or reinforce emotional fences, particularly in the home, with the intimate partner, or in areas sacred to you. A little kindness and gentle, accepting demeanor will go miles.
