≈ Comments Off on Just a Little AstroEssence 24 October 2012: ‘Doing What’s Wise’

October 24th sees Venus oppose Pallas and square Vesta, while Mercury trines Pallas and quincunxes Vesta. We may be juggling relationships, finances, or values as we try to do what’s wise, and though we can think it through, our perception may be that, when it comes to actually applying what we’ve decided, it could appear to threaten the very relationship, financial situation, or life-value it’s meant to correct or benefit. It’s a time when it may be very difficult to put our money (or relationship, or choices) where our mouth is, as the saying goes–but we would be wise to grit our teeth and do it anyway, as anything that doesn’t survive this episode needed to go, anyway–even if we didn’t think so.
See it all with ECLIPSE!

≈ Comments Off on Just a Little Lunar Essence 23 October 2012: ‘Lash Out or Clam Up’
‘A Basket of Clams’ Winslow Homer 1873 {{PD-Art}}
3 PM PDT the Aquarius Moon squares Sedna, then goes on to quincunx Venus and square Mercury. In effect we get a T-square wherein we ‘lose’ both feelings and our ability to articulate them, even as relationships, finances, or values are requiring us to make adjustments. Depending on how much your Self-image rests on being able to express yourself, you will in exact proportion find yourself frustrated and prone to lash out (or clam up). It’s not the time to deal with anything, simply because everything we encounter will feel as if it’s exerting pressure–and when we can’t even say ‘Ow!’ we’ll be feeling stymied, indeed.

≈ Comments Off on Just a Little AstroEssence 22 October 2012: Introspection, Change’
Feuerbach 1864 {{PD-Art}}
On the 22nd the Sun enters Scorpio and Earth enters Taurus, while Venus trines Sedna and Mercury opposes it. Our attention turns to what we don’t know, something of a built-in prompt to worry–but about what? As long as we remember that this time of year is keyed to emotional introspection, into inspection of the dark corners, and into digging for the truth, we’ll embrace that darkness as part of the natural cycle, seeing it as coming forward in the ‘right’ time.
We’ll also see feelings (and even relationships) exposed, and words and thoughts shared in spite of our wishes not to; it’s a day to learn all about others, and to minimize our own exposure, as we may blurt out something better kept to ourselves.

≈ Comments Off on The Harp of the Soul
Schneider 1906 {{PD-Art}}
Many of us ‘live’ more fully within other charts energies with which we identify more strongly than we do within the Sun. We may be highly sensitive, preferring the changeable shelter of our Moon, we may be highly attuned to the ‘face’ we present to the world and identify strongly with our Ascendant or with our chart ruler (which is another name for the Ascendant ruler), or we may vibe to Venus if we closely identify with our role as a woman, or Mars if we are a man, or the Moon if we carry the label of ‘Mother’ as primary identity. There’s nothing wrong with this, and sometimes an ‘alternate’ identity is what we need at a certain point in life (the sensitivity, dignity, and orientation toward study of our Chiron may get us through school, for example, our Mars may get us through our time in the Army, our Jupiter may help us through a time of social demands and scrutiny–think high school!–or our Pluto may get us through a major death or loss), though it should be said that we’re all not comfortable ‘living’ just any energy in any situation. For instance, a zeitgeist that calls for cool and laid back may not be an easy fit for the Jupiter in Capricorn individual, and wearing our Mars in Leo to a meditation circle won’t fly well, either! All the energies play at identity issues, to some degree, but we must always re-orient ourselves to the Sun; it’s our core, indeed, it represents our Purpose, and the essence of our Beingness, and as such has a special role, indicating specific notes that the harp of our Soul must strike.

≈ Comments Off on Just a Little Lunar Essence 18 October 2012: ‘Our Emotional Approach’
Toulmouche c1890 {{PD-Art}}
7:30 PM PDT the Moon opposes Jupiter, and by 10:30 PM PDT squares Venus. These two contacts signal a long period of clash with the social sphere, pessimism, and potential loss of assets or love. Oh don’t cry, it’s not as bad as it sounds! Our own negative emotional approach will be the real problem; if we can recognize our own ‘down’ attitude, we are halfway home in preventing any negative consequences.

‘Les Demoiselles Schwartz’ Anders Zorn before 1920 {{PD-Art}}
The Moon enters Sagittarius on the 17th of October at 5:26 PM PDT
Right away the Moon squares Neptune to kick off his transit through Sag–why get all, ‘I have to get out of here!’ and ruin that creative endeavor or inspired effort? Stepping back for a bit, rather than running off, is the better course.
10:30 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes Ceres. Adjustment to Mom, authorities, Mother Nature, or the need to negotiate comes forward. Resistance is futile; just do it, and worry about your own feelings later.

The Libra New Moon occurs at 5:02 AM Pacific time of the 15th at 22 Libra 32
Using our usual strict 2 degree orb, we find only a quincunx to Sedna, and a semi-square to Juno–if we stretch to 3, we are able to add that trine to Vesta, which may be key to understanding the whole thing. A New Moon is a beginning, a dawning, and so may be a point when certain things (indicated by aspects to the NM) are revealed or occur to us. In this case, we may have been dealing with, even struggling, with a certain depth-note of our consciousness, one that applies to our own understanding of the life-death-life cycle and our role in it, specifically in the way we ‘die to’ different aspects of our lives, dive deep in a kind of meditative consideration of what is, then are renewed, somewhat changed from what we once were. This change is always aligned with, even dictated by, our highest values, the Vestal attributes of deep intimate relationship, home, dedication to a cause or ideal, and respect for these. This New Moon is the moment of renewal; we come up from the depths, draw in a deep, healing, re-initiating breath, and we see just where we are, where the changes are, and who we are, now. Aspects suggest that adjustments prompted by our go-deep exploration (NM qnx Sedna) will help smooth out impediments to empowerment (NM semi-sq Juno), and this will be accomplished by living our highest ideals, actually by seeing them shape the ‘new’ parts of the Self mobilized, as symbolized by Vesta.

Nagy, before 1937 {{PD}}
For Saturday the 13th:
Void begins at 11:48 AM PDT; the Moon enters Libra at 4:02 PM Pacific time on the 13th.
There’s an immediate quincunx of the Moon to Neptune, perhaps making us uneasy over the partner, or the level of cooperation we can expect; we’ll need to both adjust and let go of any fantasies we’re prone to in this regard.
A midnight opposition of the Moon to Uranus, a quincunx to Chiron, and a sextile to Mars may prompt us to project all our orneriness and our propensity to hurt ourselves or others ‘out there.’ Awareness that what we see outside us is really inside us has never been so appropriate.
And for Sunday the 14th:
About 1 PM Pacific the Moon finds the midpoint of Venus-Mercury. Whatever’s communicated/ thought concerning love or money may make us turn to the partner, or to an aesthetic outlet, in hopes of relieving some kind of tension. This could be good news–remember, that causes stress, too.

Is she sleeping or reading, and does it matter? ‘Springtime’ by Monet 1872 {{PD-Art}}
The 12th of October sees only one new aspect perfect, Mercury in sesquiquadrate to Vesta. This could be hazardous, as people may speak, write, or communicate, thinking they’re true to their highest values, but other influences are calling the shots. Placements in mutable signs, or anything ruled by Mercury in the natal chart, may figure in to disruption of communications and skewing of meaning/ thoughts.
Happy Friday! See More Here
