For January 9th, from ECLIPSE:

Around 9 AM PST the Sagittarius Moon acts as apex to a loose Finger of God with base of Sedna and Earth. The result may be emotional revelation brought about by a material experience that somehow echoes some deep, inner truth for you–or it may simply leave us puzzled, trying to intuit an un-intuit-able thing. Noon the Sagittarius Moon opposes Ceres. Our nurturing instincts and need for protection may clash with our desire to show our own power and to exercise it within our own maternal relationships. At worst this should only bring some clashes and maybe some crying and storming from the room, but no permanent damage should be done.

From the latest ECLIPSE; get it now to get your upcoming Solar eclipse influences in order!

November 6th: Besides the retrograde of Mercury (at 3:03 PM PST at 4 Sagittarius 18) we have Juno sextile Zeus, Venus sesquiquadrate the South Node, the Sun quincunx Jupiter, and the Earth as apex to a Finger of God with base of Juno-Zeus. What a tidy little package (most of ) this makes! Though Mercury may be taking a great deal of our attention, we really should keep an eye on that Finger, as it describes a power struggle by a pair of Olympians (the US election?) one of whom feels terminally disrespected and who’s out for revenge, while the other holds all the real power–you figure out who’s who! When we look at the Sabian for the Earth at this point, we get this: ‘Head Covered With a Rakish Silk Hat, Muffled Against the Cold, A Man Braves A Storm’ That says to me that Frankenstorm Sandy will not succeed in keeping voters home–and possibly suggests a minimum of Merc-style problems, at least for the election.

The Venus-SN aspect, as well as the Sun-Jupiter one, describe an active social arena where both the past and the reality situation will have to be respected if anyone is to gain. Obviously, adjustments will need to be made by all parties–but in the end this will be worth it–and I have a sense that, at least on a smaller scale, this may usher in a new era, one that is both more practical, more kind, and more rewarding for all concerned.

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!

By 9:30 AM PDT of the 26th the Moon is quincunx Uranus and trine Chiron, and soon moves on to quincunx Jupiter, forming a Finger of God. With apex Moon and base of Uranus-Jupiter, we may see a need for the individuality and unique creativity to fit in to the social arena–and when this happens, an intense emotional payoff (Moon in Scorpio) is the result. The trine to Chiron suggests something interesting: that hurt, the ability to empathize, and/ or one’s own unique skills may serve to heal an element vital to allowing the Finger to work. That is, a healing may occur, and this will prompt one to feel confident enough to reveal that creative individuality on the social scene, and thereby derive satisfaction. Win!

Portrait of a Pregnant Woman (Maria Leopoldine, Archduchesse of Austria) by Lippi 1649 {{PD-Art}}

All material is excerpted from ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest; order here for the complete daily aspect and Lunar picture, and more (this week it’s an article about career and success markers, and a short bit on exhaltations). For Friday the 4th we have:

Just after noon Pacific time the Moon quincunxes Pallas; this could bring forward a round of Self-questioning, or inquiries from the partner, and either situation could shake our confidence in our own good judgment. As long as you can discern an emotional component to your thinking, there’s nothing to worry about, but if this is actually an intuition . . . then you’d better examine what you’re accepting as ‘wisdom’ long and hard.

Void begins at 1:34 PM PDT; the Moon enters Scorpio at 7:19 PM PDT, which just so happens to be the minute that the Sun reaches exactly 15 degrees of Taurus and the Earth does likewise in Scorpio.

For Saturday, we have a Full Moon in Scorpio:

The Full Moon arrives at 8:35 PM PDT of the 5th at 16 Scorpio 01: ‘Pregnant With Possibility’

This Scorpio Full Moon is without aspect to any other body under our consideration; this puts the search for meaning in two spots: the signs involved in the Sun/ Moon opposition, and in the Sabian Symbols for the degrees of Sun and Moon/ Earth.

The Sabian Symbol for Moon/ Earth is ‘A Woman, Fecundated By Her Own Spirit, Is ‘Great With Child’. This brings emphasis to the potentials of the Scorpio spiritual orientation and the idea that one can quite literally inspire a new beginning within oneself. This is a kind of immaculate conception that draws on our own Soul to fertilize the creative possibilities within the Self and conceive and gestate a new venture or creation, a new thing brought into being from the seed of spirit entering that fertile ground of Beingness.

And for Sunday the 6th:

at 5:30 AM PDT, the Moon forms the apex of a loose Finger of God, with wide base of Mercury/ Venus. This suggests that, in the midst of the emotional no-man’s-land, we could receive some cogent messages concerning relationships or finances–oy! The solution may be found in the nature of the Scorpio Moon; if we can let the info in without having to process it right away, we may have it for later conscious consideration, while receiving unconsciously reassurance about a Venusian subject. A neat trick, if we can pull it off.

A Communion Portrait by Bastien-Lepage 1875 {{PD-Art}}

For Friday, the 16th:

3 PM PDT the Capricorn Moon squares Ceres; could indicate a conflict of female v. female, or very specifically, two mothers (or two spirits who have generated something unique and personal to themselves, and find themselves at odds). Issues of power, domain, and authority are parsed.

For Saturday, the 17th:

11:30 PM PDT the Aquarian Moon trines the South Node and creates a Finger of God with apex Mars and base of Moon/ Vesta. The past inspires us, perhaps even mesmerizes us, and may fuel the dedication of the emotional nature to our Highest Ideals, home, and/ or mate, which leads to successful (albeit muted, with the retro of Mars) action. This may not start out so great, in a nostalgic haze, but could end up making for a lovely interlude of communion and tenderness, where we are able to appreciate what gives us our emotional security in a rare and affecting way.

And for Sunday, the 18th:

11 AM PDT the Moon trines Zeus and squares Venus, suggesting that we’ll be given a chance to see just where fulfilling ambitions and wants will cost us. Or, dissonance in relationships or finances stirs us to get out there and work to make ambitions a reality. Or, following our desire nature (read ‘lust’) will put us into relationship conflict. Your choice.

The Weekend Lunar Essence 10-12 February 2012: ‘Wake Up & Smell the Coffee!’

Early 18th century, Artist Unknown {{PD-Art}}

For Friday the 10th:

Coming up on 5 PM Pacific the Libra Moon opposes Venus and quincunxes Jupiter. Someone may try to claim territory that common sense says really can’t be claimed as theirs alone; we want to co-operate, they want to bully–but they miscalculate. Quietly stand your ground–the social sphere adjusts its thinking to us (for once), and we cut (or don’t even experience) any losses.

For Saturday the 11th:

11:30 AM PST the Moon conjuncts Zeus, making us one with our ambition and desire state–and probably launching a search (even if it’s only a speculative ‘what if?’) for a partner, personal or business.

And for Sunday the 12th:

12:30 AM PST the Moon poses as apex to a Finger of God with base of Sedna/ Vesta. We lose sight of what is sacred to us, of the importance of home and our intimate relationship, and yet somehow this has a positive, freeing effect that allows the emotional perceptions or the intuition to function effectively in these very same areas. It’s like the usual filters we apply to these subjects are removed, and we get a fresh look at them all. A very good aspect.

12:30 PM PST the Moon conjuncts Saturn, bringing emotional awareness to our reality. May result in a review of how we feel about ‘what is’ right now, and could light up limitations and those things that make us safe, and show us the difference between the two. Moon enters the Void at 1:09 PM PST; the Moon enters Scorpio at 2:01 PM.

Just after 5 PM PST the Scorpio Moon quincunxes Uranus, shaking it up, but gently–could be a matter of ‘Wake up and smell the coffee!’which we’re glad for, as it keeps us from an emotional misstep in the near future.

9 PM PST the Moon opposes Jupiter and trines Chiron, bringing forward a dissonance with the social sphere that actually provides an opening for healing. As long as we are willing to take that step back from the social order, the mending will take care of itself.

Moon enters Scorpio at 5:58 PM PST. First aspects are a trine to Chiron and a Finger of God with base of Uranus and Earth; as well, Jupiter at just over 2 degrees Taurus sits within midpoint parameters for the Finger base and so in opposition to the Moon from the get-go. Here we may see the promise of getting to the bottom of the feeling nature if we can only get the individuality expression and the material situation to mesh–and this with the added caution that the social sphere will not be supportive of our emotional revelations or discoveries, and that we have a major potential to heal something significant in the process. The implication is that our healing may not be seen as positive by those who feed on our confusion, dysfunction, or insecurity. Do not allow the vultures to shake your confidence and pick your emotional bones! Embrace healing, even if it means looking into the reality of some less-than-loving relationship dynamics.

Mokritsky 1841 {{PD-Art}}

6 AM PST the Cancer Moon quincunxes Venus, trines Ceres, and begins a Finger of God with base of Venus/ Vesta. This is a Finger that points out the power of Woman/ anima and that challenges each of us to appreciation of the Venusian with regard for our highest values, home life, and/ or intimate partner, probably with the emotional aid of authorities, Mom, or someone with strong negotiation ability. If we can value our Vesta ‘investments’ we will gain emotional satisfaction, and/ or ‘tune in’ our intuition involving Venus/ Vesta matters. This is an excellent opportunity for women to strengthen ties to what they care most about: those things from which they draw deep emotional satisfaction. For men, this signals a chance to get in touch with and understand their own connection to the feminine, to nurturing, to the partner, and to home, family, and values, and possibly to develop a stronger form of support for the females in his life.

Moon enters Cancer at 11:19 PM PST of the 13th, with immediate trine to Chiron and square to Uranus. We care, we want to heal (especially someone or something outside ourselves) and may feel we are singled out or ostracized for it. A high point for feeling misunderstood, and a time when we also might be taken advantage of, especially by those who might justify it philosophically, or by a group to which we belong (or would like to). The stronger the feeling dynamic at this time, the more vulnerable, and probably ‘off course’ in terms of what we’d truly like to nurture in our lives, we’ll be. Exceptions may be those with a teensy masochistic streak.

A sextile to Mars at 1 AM Pacific puts the Moon in a dynamic position, and some who felt a lot of frustration in the Moon/ Chiron/ Uranus fiasco may push forward, determined to nurture the hell out of something; don’t let this be you :)   Instead use Mars like a counterweight, balancing the caring urge with a careful accounting of where we’re spending our energy. This begins a Finger of God with base of Mars/ Moon and apex of Pallas. Positive use of the base energies opens the way to wisdom and practical skills put at our disposal. Can give a huge boost to productive and practical efforts if ‘played’ correctly.
