King Solomon and His Court, India, Artist Unknown late 19th century {{PD-Art}}

For 15 September:

It’s in communications, and our own thought processes, where we may run into trouble. We may be over-focused on details, hyper-critical, or too concerned with accounting and/ or lists–and so miss the point entirely. We also may be highly resistant to taking suggestions from anyone, if we see them as holding some sort of authority over us. Falling into old ways of being and seeing are, as they say, easy as falling off a log. Try to remain astride yours. (Mercury square Ceres, trine SN).

And for the 16th:

Authorities and those who felt they had nature on their side may find that their path isn’t as clear as they thought (Ceres quincunx NN), and acting as an individual, or a leader, will definitely have social pitfalls (Mars quincunx Jupiter). Those who are willing, however, to think with others in mind (who are willing to give them equal weight to the Self) will gain both co-operation and empowerment through the social sphere. That’s really the magic formula for today, and is accessible if we can keep cynicism to a minimum (Mercury into Libra, sextile Juno, Juno into Sagittarius).

9 PM PDT of the 10th the Cancer Moon trines Earth in Pisces, followed by a sextile of Moon to Mercury in Virgo. We have a unique window in which to ‘sense’ material matters and then successfully bring them to the conscious mentality. This offers an excellent point at which to understand what is surrounding us and why, and to bring it fully into the mind, with nothing obscured or left out. We can be sure of what we perceive, if we are open to the Truth of our reality.

Just a Little Astro Essence for 9 September 2012: ‘Outlook: Burny, and Really Unpleasant’

‘Madame Liotard and Her Eldest Son’ by J-E Liotard 1766 {{PD-Art}}

From ECLIPSE; order it now!

The 9th of September sees perfection of one, very spicy aspect: Mars sesquiquadrate Ceres. This may stir an enormous amount of upset, as the ego and the temper just can’t hold back when it comes to confronting authority, Mother Nature (and we know how much good yelling at Mother Nature does!) or actual Mom. The urge to express will be like hot sauce on the tongue: burny, and really unpleasant, but it would do us good to realize that our attention is really on ourselves–we’re thinking about what we want to say, what we mean, so that Mom or the person in charge is more than likely nothing more than a convenient target. Think twice before you open your mouth.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 7 September 2012: ‘Abdication’

Don’t be this fella. ‘Three Studies of a Donkey’ Gerard ter Borch the Elder 1612

Straight from the brand-new ECLIPSE–Order now!

9 AM PDT 7 September Luna squares Chiron, sextiles Pallas, and quincunxes Pluto. We try to adjust but it still hurts–we have to accept that a little pain is inevitable, and maybe it’s smart to open arms to the adjustment, the acceptance, and the hurt, as a reminder that we’re human. A few will take the fleeting and wide Finger of God with Gemini Moon apex and base of Mars-Pluto to heart and lash out, show real anger, or have a tantrum. The rest of us will let it glide by, abdicating the opportunity to act like an ass.

‘On the Beach’ William Simmler pre-1914 {{PD-Art}}

A little something for your day; for much more, including people in the news, astrology practice and technique, and an aspect by aspect full Lunar and planetary report, delivered to your email every Thursday, please subscribe!

11 AM PDT kicks off a flurry of Lunar activity, with the Taurus Moon trine the Sun, followed by Moon quincunx Zeus, with a semi-sextile to Jupiter thrown in for the exaggeration factor. We may get all bent out of shape over others’ reception of our ambitions and plans, and they have a similar reaction to our response. We see easily how our emotions aren’t in the best place to support our wants–and that should lead us to re-consider how appropriate they may or may not be. Rather than suppress the emos, just let them out safely, possibly by ranting in a room with the door closed and no one else in sight.

It’s not recommended that children be given a dog and a gun and sent out to play. Unknown artist, probably from the 18th century {{PD-Art}}

A little something for your day; to see more, become a subscriber!

The 4th promises trouble with the conscience.  A Finger of God is formed with base of Mercury-Mars and apex of Pallas-Uranus. This may seem at first a lot like looking down the barrel of a loaded rifle–but it doesn’t end up with anyone’s head coming off, as long as we observe a few simple precautions. With Mars in Scorpio, the impulse might be to act rather dramatically, but if we let Mercury in Virgo temper action with critical reasoning, what we’ll get instead of an explosion is a flash of wisdom or skill. Beautiful!

‘The Jockey’ Toulouse-Lautrec {{PD-Art}}

A little something on the Full Moon, from the new ECLIPSE:

The Full Moon in Pisces occurs at 6:57 AM Pacific time of the 31st at 8 Pisces 33. Along with the conjunction to Chiron, the sextile to Pluto, and the semi-sextile to Uranus, the Full Moon adds a semi-sextile to Pallas and a sesquiquadrate to Venus, but eschews any aspect of more than 2 degrees, for precision! This tells us that, added to the experience of either hurting or healing, we learn something, something we can define as wisdom–so what happens has a deep and useful meaning, whether we recognize that or not, and that we must adjust either relationships or finances (or perhaps even re-align values) in order to accommodate what we learn.

The Sabian for the Full Moon is ‘A Jockey Spurs His Horse, Intent on Outdistancing His Rivals’  With the Moon nestled within the square between Uranus and Pluto, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised to find that this energy is one of finishing a race, with the sense of competition at a fever pitch. Certainly we see this striving all around us, in the US at a national level with the Presidential campaign, and personally as we spoke about before, with each of us trying to empower ourselves, to enhance our individuality. This symbol suggests that all will be focused; it does not, however, promise victory.

See it all here –and Thanks to All who have! And everyone, enjoy your weekend!

‘Paysanne de Frascati at the confessional’ Bodinier 1826 {{PD-Art}}

From the current ECLIPSE:

On the 28th our Mercurial energies are on fire, yet we don’t know it! The urge to communicate is hidden–and that means it leaks out in all kinds of goofy ways. We may channel the urge through involvement with nature, tangling with Mom or authorities, or in negotiations–and this means that all these areas are open to risk, the biggest one being that we might give something away about our own position or beliefs that we’d hope to keep quiet about. Both our inner wisdom and our need to feel unique or to shock will be influencing what goes on–so be very very aware.

Love this painting by Charles Courtney Curran–even used it in an early issue of ECLIPSE. For me it perfectly evokes the heat and humidity of a languid summer day. 1888 {{PD-Art}}

Just needed to come up for air in my quest to 1) finish client work, 2) finish the Vesta book, which will be free to current subscribers, 3) finish an extra for subscribers (that will also be for sale to non-subscribers) on Chiron’s elevation in 2012, and 4) enjoy a little bit of summer before it’s gone. It’s beautiful weather right now, the garden’s in full bloom, we’re harvesting zucchini, carrots (it’s the Northwest, there’s really only one gardening season!) tomatoes, bell and hot peppers, Swiss chard, and just today, some delicate, pink-skinned fingerling potatoes–I hope you’re enjoying the atmosphere (and eating as well) as we are right now.

The 9th of August we see Vesta sextile Pallas  (we work to balance what the social sphere reveres and what we know is wise) and Venus quincunx the North Node and trine Neptune. This latter grouping promises some ‘dream come true’ or ideal conditions, especially in love and/ or money, but we will be made aware of how having that dream may interfere with (or even change) our destined direction. Consider carefully, with full awareness that having your cake will alter whether you can eat it in the future, too.

The 10th of August brings spanky fresh Mercury direct trine the North Node, and communications seem to come to life, up and running with messages flying all over the place, especially messages pertaining to plans and the future. It feels like prime time to get all those things going we put on hold during the retrograde–but we’re not there totally until Merc is back out past the point at which he made his turnaround (reached on 22 August)–just keep this in mind.

That’s it for now–I may pop in again before my hiatus is over, but if you’ve been missing these posts, the thing to do is order ECLIPSE–that’s where the material above is from–it’s inexpensive (only $5 per month) and tres useful–look! you made me pull out some exotic charm, just in the hopes you’ll give it a try.

A Little Astro Essence + the Aquarius Full Moon: ‘A Quiet Inspiration’

‘Meditation By the Sea’ Artist Unknown mid-1800s {{PD-Art}} via Wikimedia Commons

For today:

Prior to 5 PM PDT the Moon trines Vesta, finds herself at the midpoint of Pluto-Chiron, and sextiles Uranus. This may be like a small bomb going off, with emotional expression of our principles creating a minor firestorm. This almost certainly takes the form of words spoken or thoughts shared, with the Moon in Aquarius and Vesta in Gemini, but abrupt action may follow that changes the landscape significantly, so take special care with what you say, and what you share (it’s a poem!)

And about that Full Moon:

The Aquarius Full Moon arrives at 8:28 PM Pacific time of August 1 at 10 Aquarius 15

Keeping our usual strict 2 degree orb for aspects made by the Full Moon as it melds with Earth, we see sextiles to Uranus and Pallas in Aries, and trines to Vesta and Jupiter in Gemini. So much flowing energy fixes the Aquarian Full Moon in a constructive atmosphere of originality, wisdom, ‘right’ values, and a positive place in the social order. We are being given the gift of understanding (an Aquarian strength) of how we fit in, how we should think of our place (Gemini) and what we should do (Aries). The Sabian gives us an image upon which to draw: ‘During a Silent Hour, a Man Receives a New Inspiration Which May Change His Life’ We are shown an image that we may at first assume applies to the individual during meditation, and his or her receipt of, in essence, a ‘new spirit’ that directs him or her down a new life path, and this would not be wrong–that indeed may be the case for many, stilling the mind and finding the answers within–but this may for others represent finding a literal quiet spot, and in this retreat, something is introduced into one’s sphere that has a life altering effect. You may not see a great deal of difference between the two, but we are noting the difference between an inner solution, and one that may quite literally drop into one’s lap.
