8 AM Pacific brings the Moon sextile Saturn; we put a lid on it, and that’s good, right now. Time to pull back, sit down, and maybe just listen. Just before 10 AM PDT the Moon quincunxes Earth–now we see why pulling back was a good idea: we’ll get intuitive or feeling ‘information’ on the material situation–and with our emotions ‘stilled’ by the Saturn contact, we’re capable of receiving it loud and clear. If you find yourself confused at this point, it suggests something other than intuitive knowledge is being input–most likely from someone hoping to steer you in the direction they want you to go.

By 11:30 AM PDT the Moon opposes Pallas and sextiles h.Zeus. This may put us in a bad spot: the emotions and intuition are, at this time, resistant to and separate from what we know to be wise, yet the ambitions and desires are stirred–a recipe for bad decisions. Being aware (if you choose not to give in to temptation) is all that’s needed here.

Romance comes in all shapes and sizes {{PD}} Illustration from pre-1923 version of 'Hey Diddle Diddle'

Just before 6 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Sedna, and there are a few hours where we’re ‘flying blind.’ Relaxing is the best answer to this. By 8 PM Pacific the Moon is quincunx the North Node–we’re still in the shadow of that Sedna aspect, and that means that though we may be prompted to make corrections to the life direction, we aren’t perceiving things clearly–hold back for awhile.

By 9:30 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Venus–ah! We’ve got our values back in sight! There might be a little June spoonin’ as well :)

The Void begins at 10:33 PM Pacific. The Moon enters Leo at 8:03 AM PDT of the 5th.

The Essence for 13 May 2011: Emotional Equilibrium

By 2:30 AM PDT the Moon quincunxes the Mercury/ Venus conjunction, which is very close at this point. This contact offers an emotional check-up on the way in which the matters of the (typically) four Houses of the natal chart (those ruled by Mercury and Venus) are affected; some combination of the subjects of these Houses comes forward and commands our attention. This can be a huge distraction, as we aren’t likely to immediately recognize this as a message concerning what we really care about, and how we should go about protecting it (Aries placement)–but that’s what it is.

Void begins 4:04 AM PDT, with the Moon entering Libra at 8:57 AM PDT. This right away casts the Moon as the apex of a Finger of God with base of Neptune in Pisces and Mars in Taurus. This last through 12:30 PM Pacific or so, and suggests that successfully utilizing our creative energy is the key to emotional equilibrium–balance within ourselves and balance in partnership or other interaction is achievable only if we are able to actively channel the creative and imaginative urge effectively. If we don’t, we’re liable to be very frustrated, and end up lashing out, swinging between extremes, or behaving in either a totally ‘dead to emotion’ manner, or as manic and out-of-control, pursuing delusions.

Just after 8 PM PDT the Moon squares Pluto; these are in Cardinal signs, and we’d better remember that, as the two energies conflict over exactly how much the emotional landscape must be dug up. We can be excessively tempted to destroy relationships or artistic creations at this point–hold back, don’t indulge–things ruined now are unlikely to be repairable.

The Essence for 9 May 2011: Be Willing to Heal

Mother and child by Henriette Browne pre-1901 {{PD-Art}} via Wikimedia Commons

11:30 AM PDT brings the Moon quincunx Chiron–we may question any emotional hurt we’ve recently suffered or inflicted–and likely find that our ego was the culprit. If this is felt by you, have the guts to step forward and apologize, to adjust the attitude to allow healing, and perhaps to admit that letting the ‘I am’ run the emotions may not really be working out for you. Now it should be noted that this begins a Finger of God that will last through about 4 PM Pacific, as the Moon moves on to quincunx Pluto, and then pulls away. This places the emotional nature and the intuitive perceptions at the apex of the configuration, and suggests that if we are willing to completely destroy/ transform our Chirotic ‘wound’ mechanism, we may find emotional solace, serenity, and healing–but that’s a big ‘if,’ and possibly a too-tall order on such short notice; it’s definitely a test of our flexibility and our willingness to heal (yes, I said willingness–many people cling to their wounds as if they prove something about them, their sensitivity, perhaps, or their right to feel angry, slighted, or justified in hating–but all it proves is that they are deriving a part of their identity from an injury that, if they let it heal, will mean they lose some cherished ‘victim’ view of themselves). Be willing to heal; anything less is an excuse to indulge one’s inner brat.

Surely this young woman's direct gaze suggests she's unafraid of a reckoning Vermeer c.1666 {{PD-Art}}

7 AM-ish sees the transiting Moon complete a Finger of God with a base of Ceres and the North Node. This may be a point of reckoning for all of us concerning Mother Nature and the way in which she’s changing the Life Path of just about everyone on the planet. Another big shake, a volcano going off (as of this writing there’s new activity in Japan, and there’s plenty more sprinkled around the Ring of Fire, not to mention so many other places on the map), or some other natural phenomenon (even a man-triggered one like a nuclear reaction, or the release of radiation, as we’re already seeing, but this time in a proportion with real consequences)? This may be reading too much into it, but with the Moon in Water and the NN in Sagittarius, it suggests to me another tsunami or other water phenomenon that has far-reaching (Sag) effects–but with Ceres in Aquarius, it may just be that our minds are fixed on pondering, studying, and analyzing what has already occurred. A small note: the dynamic (moving) chart I use to follow transits, which is set for Seattle, shows the Moon sextile the chart Vertex at this point, as well–and this implies a truly fated event. Most likely, though, is that this point will pass as so many others have, with nary a whisper :)

25 January 2011: ‘The Invisible Man’

Claude Rains and Gloria Stuart in 'The Invisible Man' 1933

From 10 PM of the 24th right through 5 AM PST of the 25th, the Moon and Venus form the base of a Finger of God with apex Sedna. It’s like those old ‘Invisible Man’ movies, where once the bandages came off he could sneak around and spy on the bad guys–something compels our emotional life and relationships, yet we can’t see it–an energy exerts itself on us and we don’t know what it is, or why we are pushing in a certain direction (this will be wherever Sedna, currently at 21 Taurus 30, sits in the natal chart). This could be materials, value, artisanal skills, or security-oriented, or could have the features of the House involved; if Sedna is currently aspecting natal bodies, particularly by conjunction, this could signal a major episode for you.

By 3 PM PST the Moon sextiles Vesta, reminding us through the emotions and intuition of what’s most important to us. 4:30 PM sees the Moon trine Chiron–it may be easy to hurt and be hurt, but more likely we just become extra-sensitive. Void begins at 4:43 PM PST, ends with the Moon’s entry into Scorpio at 6:15 PM Pacific, and we start the transit with a need to adjust the emotional picture to the social scene, or to some knowledge we’ve acquired (quincunx to Jupiter).

21 January 2011: The Aquarian Moon Gives Us the Finger

I've always heard it's not polite to point. Antonio Belluci c.1700 {{PD}}

By 9 AM PST the Moon is trine Vesta, making the emotions a reliable conduit for the most sacred values–if it feels right, it is right–the only exception is the person who’s disconnected from her or his own emotional palette, who thinks they feel, or who has mis-identified one emotion as another (and this latter is something we take for granted, that everyone identifies emotions the same way and as the same thing-and they don’t!!) If you’re mis-aligned with your emotional nature and you follow emotional prompts at this time, it will have unforseen, probably negative, consequences–just sayin’!

Right as the Moon enters Virgo (3:10 PM PST) it quincunxes Jupiter new and fresh and saucy at 00, and this creates a Finger of God with the upcoming quincunx of the Moon to the Sun at 5:30 PM Pacific, requiring us to adjust the emotional picture to the object of everyone else’s attention. We may feel we have more important things to attend to (and we may be right!) but the group requires we focus on matters either Aquarian or related to the House where the Sun is currently transiting in the natal chart, and that the lens be emotion or intuition, so that our acceptance of the social demand feels a bit false. In this instance, it’s best to go along to get along–and we may gain useful ‘camouflage’ of some kind because of our co-operative nature :)

16 January 2011: Mystic Rectangle, Finger of God

Let's hope where the Finger points will be this obvious-a beautiful work by Mola Ram c.1800 {{PD}}

Remember that both the Mystic Rectangle (mentioned in a previous post) and the Finger of God with Chiron/ Neptune apex and arms of Juno and Earth, are in force. This is a lot of power and energy that we should try to utilize consciously (yes, call me Capt. Obvious!) The Rectangle is described in a previous post; the Finger asks us to empower ourselves materially and then use that to express unique skills and ideals. You can make dreams happen right now, if they’re Soul deep, a part of your destiny–if not, they just won’t spark.

NASA {{PD}}

1:30 PM PST there’s a sextile to Sedna, bringing a time when we just can’t pinpoint our emotions–don’t try, and don’t make decisions or give answers at this point that rely on emotional judgment or perceptions.

It’s also apparent that 2 degrees is a very popular placement: Venus, the Nodes, and Ceres, and they form a Finger of God, apex South Node. This suggests that either memories of the past or past experience will be instrumental in working out something presented at this time. The circumstances will involve a need to harmonize a Venusian element of the life (relationship, finances, values) with both the life direction (NN at opposing point to apex and midpoint of Venus/ Ceres) and Mother Nature and/ or authority in some form. The challenge is very likely a balancing act, a weighing of something personally desired with an external authority’s ability to affect our having it–and once we’ve aligned it with current life direction, we will receive a benefit from past circumstances, experience, or dealings. It’s as if, in this instance, we must handle the dilemma first, before we’re allowed to see the parallels from the past, the opposite of what we typically must do.

As to the shooting of the Congresswoman and many others in Arizona yesterday, I find myself so depressed by the event that I don’t want to look at the astrology–the whole thing sickens me, especially the issuance of “We are praying for you” statements from those responsible for stirring up the hate. They’ve made fame and money off their finger pointing; maybe today’s finger of God for them personally shows just exactly how their past actions have helped to f*ck up today–but I don’t hold a lot of hope that any who are truly responsible will recognize that fact.

There is also a midpoint pic that I think probably figures in to all this, Mars at the midpoint of Mercury/ Neptune–fantasy prompting deluded action, firearms, need I go on? I don’t want to feed the energy of this event by obsessing over it–instead I’m going to send my thoughts toward healing, and I hope you will, too.

Recommending: a post absolutely worth your time and study http://www.starsoverwashington.com/2011/01/horror-in-tucson-and-spring-eq-2011.html

Was life ever like this? Hans Dahl 1900 {{PD-Art}} Wikimedia Commons

published at 7:53 AM PST

About 6:30 PM PST the Moon quincunxes retro Merc, bringing an emotional hiccup–we wonder why everything seems uncomfortably irritating, all at 6s and 7s, as they say; this is followed by the Moon’s opposition to Ceres and trine to Jupiter= the natural order of things is inherently upsetting, and emotional exaggeration is prominent. During this same period, the Moon, once it contacts Merc and through its contact to Neptune by quincunx around 10 PM PST, is forming a Finger of God with base of Merc/ Neptune; this suggests an emotional crisis over information that may not be true. The question is, are you the story-spinner/ info manipulator or the deceived/ mislead? This equation says that the one handling and shaping communications is the one seeking power–this isn’t necessarily negative, but does ask us to make a morals check, if this is the part we play, as well as to recall that the ends don’t necessarily justify the means.
