The Virgo Moon pulls away from its New Moon status and late in the sign quincunxes first Neptune (10:30 AM PDT) then Chiron (11:30 AM PDT), bringing abrupt notice to the emotions as they take stock of the connection to reality (how clearly are we seeing things?) and then as they scan the horizon for hurt. We think something might be harming us; in this case, the sensitivity to injury precedes any event. If we bring skills forward and put them to work, instead, we won’t go seeking upset, and no problem occurs. (There is one other scenario, where our recall of a past hurt insists on being addressed now–again, putting the abilities to work keeps things smooth).

By my reckoning the Void begins at 1:59 PM PDT, with the Moon entering Libra at 2:06 PM PDT. The Libra Moon looks to me like it will focus on the personal energies, especially relationships, our ability to really be ourselves within them, our wish to expand them in particular and our world in general, and by 11 AM of the 13th the Moon meets Zeus in Libra, bringing desires and ambitions to a head. We will likely spend all of the 12th in ‘personal mode,’ assessing and dealing with an array of relationships, but by midday on the 13th, we will move our attention to the ways we might get what we want. This Moon period brings a fairly straightforward dynamic, and it’s likely to feel, if not busy with interaction (as for many the activity will be largely internal), at least layered with the richness and variety of the personalities in our lives.

Yes, we’re still dealing with the Cardinal T, and Vesta has now joined Saturn–this is good news, as it brings our most sacred values into the mix. Now we know clearly what to preserve, to honor, what to change, let go of, or destroy, and what to take into the future. With priorities so prominent we can use the energy of the T for accomplishment; no need to wallow in the tension, when we can put it to work so effectively.

Early evening Pacific time of the 13th we may find a little relief as the Moon semi-sextiles Mercury. Merc has been somewhat isolated of late, and we could have been feeling that we just haven’t been getting our message across; this should offer us a way to connect, and especially to allow some venting of feeling.

Special Note: Neptune is sesquiquadrate Zeus and the South Node, apex to a Fist of God. Ambition and desire must take its cues from the past and all that we’ve learned–when it does, only our imaginations (formed to our ideals) are the limit.

7 July 2010: Reading Between the Lines

ahh, did you feel it? Uranus tucked tail and did an about face in the 9 PM hour PDT on the 6th–and I suspect for most of us it was a subtle but distinct shift. I really liked the way the energy shifted for me this hour, and I hope that retreat at the Aries Point was as positive for you, too. I honestly anticipated a much greater sense of disappointment, and perhaps that’s what happened to others–or maybe the point for me was you just can’t really anticipate Uranian results–isn’t that just the way it is? I think I felt it had brought so much energy, so much to celebrate, while in direct motion that its retrograde would surely bring a feeling of loss. I don’t mean to be mysterious, but what was lost for me was some debilitating worry and tension that had been with me for weeks–what a surprise–thanks, Uri!

There’s a Fist of God, apex Neptune with sesquiquadrates to Zeus and the South Node, that may be suggesting that illusion is at work–oh I hope not–saying that maybe what’s being presented isn’t what it seems to be, that our deeply Willful desires (Zeus) and experiences of the past (South Node) conflict–and perhaps the only way we can resolve them is through pretending the results are other than they really are. That’s possible, but I hope for most of us it’s a meeting of the past and Will that is resolved through ideals and the use of creative and imaginative energies. Usually the Universe gives us a choice, so let’s choose well. By 1 PM PDT of the 7th Mercury moves into quincunx with Neptune, which has of course been quincunx Saturn for some time, forming a Finger of God that may show us the way out of any delusion or deception. The message should be quite concrete, so if we’re open to seeing reality (Saturn) there’ll be no mistaking the meaning of what comes at us.

Vesta and Mars are trining Earth, which should be encouraging; this suggests the material situation is very clear, and that we can act to benefit ourselves while keeping our most important values in mind. A very good influence that we should all take advantage of, especially as we’re coming up on the Dark of the Moon preceding a Solar Eclipse, when we’ll likely lose our bearings temporarily–having everything in order before then is just good prep.

Odds and ends: Saturn in the 29th degree–reality presents itself, warts and all, and staring too long without reminding ourselves that things needn’t always be harsh is important, as too intense a gaze raises fear.

Venus opposed Neptune=all those Neptunian factors brought to love, relationships, money, talents, assets–if we’re likely to make a mistake in the next couple of days, it’s with these, possibly falling for illusion or distorted perceptions.

Pallas quincunxes Jupiter and sextiles Pluto=if we’re willing to be honest, and to adjust to social standards that we know are wise, we can refine our approach to interaction and socializing in a way that really puts us in harmony with our sphere.

Most of the non-Moon influences from yesterday hold over, and keep much of the same atmosphere going. We spend the shank of the day-as they say in the old country 🙂 -eeking out those last hours of the Aquarius Moon, maybe straining a little too much to make the energies count–but today it may be better to wait until the Void (beginning at 3:03 PM PDT) to really apply ourselves. Why? Even though South Node and Juno were sesquiquadrate Neptune, we didn’t really notice–not until Mercury joined them, the Sun moved into proximity, and the Moon came along and triggered our notice–and now they seem to speak to us! Or at least, they’re in the corner, mumbling about our past, our need for empowerment, and those fears specific to our emotions–and the problem is, those fears that are our illusions, and even those things we fear might be illusions, are the Neptunian boogey man that lurks nearby and keeps us from dragging those worries into the sunlight and sorting them out. Zeus doesn’t help, as he squares the gathering in Cancer and makes the Fist stir up all our ambitions and desires, and the fears related to those. We may be wrestling with something along these lines by afternoon PDT, and once the Void begins, the fears and hesitancies will dissipate, and we can tackle whatever it is that’s on our minds.

The Moon enters Pisces at 6:10 PM PDT and conjuncts Chiron, and our first thoughts may be: Ow! Why the heck did I go digging around in all that emotional dross?! But then we’ll realize we’re being handed the recipe for healing that situation we’ve been embroiled in all day. 1 AM-ish PDT the Moon sextiles Pluto, and we come to terms with what it is that must change, be re-born, or go.

July will be here any minute–be prepared with ECLIPSE! http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-eclipse-spring-2010/ Thanks!

28-29 June 2010: Expanding Personal Power

Hello, kittens (said in my best Dame Edna voice–for the uninitiated, it’s reminiscent of Julia Child), I hope the eclipse was kind to you. Remember, our eclipse picture sets a tone for the coming six months or so, through to the next eclipse set–and of course, the eclipse of last Saturday was only the first salvo, with the Solar eclipse still to come on July 11th. Before then we will definitely hit a rough patch (already described in ECLIPSE)–what I can say to those of you who don’t partake in the magazine is that the 3rd of July is definitely the day to watch.

You’ll notice over the coming few weeks that the blogroll will steadily shrink. It used to be my desire to provide links to as many great (or good) blogs and sites as possible. I like to change it up, though, as you know from my constantly changing template for this blog, and now I’ll be winnowing out those who lack reciprocal energy of some kind. There’s no malice involved, just a desire to spotlight those with whom I’m more actively engaged, as now the roll is just too long to really give due attention to friends and colleagues; some blogs and sites will remain if, even though they don’t link to me, I have a specific reason to feel gratitude toward the individual(s) involved. If I remove your blog or site and you do have a link to this site, please let me know and I’ll re-list you immediately  🙂

Today is of course the Superior Conjunction of Mercury and the Sun, the Superior being the meeting that occurs when Mercury is direct. This should bring a wrap-up to some seed event or development that began concurrent with the Inferior Conjunction of Mercury and the Sun, during Merc’s retro period (the last Inferior Conjunction happened on April 28th). Even if you can’t pinpoint a specific event this refers to, you should be able to apply the intention of drawing something to a close to which you’ve been applying your energy. The influence allows us to wrap things up nicely, with less effort than we might have to make at other times.

Today is also a meeting of Mars and Vesta in Virgo. Our intrepid pair trine the North Node and sextile Juno, and give us the energy, stamina, foresight, and sense of competency to tackle whatever we like. We are able to see what’s important and apply ourselves very effectively–the Moon in Aquarius helps with mental acuity and focus. Take matters into your own hands, and access your best judgment–if you feel foggy just think about things for a second–it’ll all come clear.

There’s a Fist of God with apex Venus, base of Jupiter and Pluto, forcing our attention toward the ways in which we can expand our power base (and this may take a subtle form, for instance, where we look for ways to feel more personally empowered, to raise our level of impact on our surroundings). How do we do it? Through taking a loving approach, through relationships, through referencing values, through respecting assets. It’s an opportunity to do well and do good, at the same time, if you get my drift.

2-6 AM-ish PDT on the 29th the Moon trines Zeus and quincunxes the Juno/ South Node exact conjunction. This brings a period when the emotional need to ‘best’ others may come forward in the less mature among us, while for the rest it may bring emotional desires from the past to the surface, and these will likely concern some form of feeling empowered. We may be strolling down memory lane wishing for a do-over, as what we know now makes us wish for then–use the impulse to get some perspective on why things went as they did, and be gentle with yourself–if you’d known then what you know now, you wouldn’t be where you are now, would you? And we’d all miss you.

Notice the Saturn/ Neptune quincunx and the way this stirs things up, via the Moon as it approaches Neptune. Contact doesn’t actually occur until the 30th, but my sense is that we may feel this coming–Neptune reaches out with foggy fingers and brings some emotional insight into our feelings about whatever we’re perceiving as a restriction or constraint right now–what we need to remember is that our perception of the Saturnian restraint may be muddled, delusional, or misinterpreted, and that means we could work ourselves up in what turns out to be a ‘wrong’ direction. Try to remember that at present the entire picture might not be available to us, so we should just relax and ease into the Void, beginning 3:03 PM on the 30th.

If you’d like to be prepared for July, and the upcoming Solar eclipse, look no further than here http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-eclipse-spring-2010/

Update: I’ve already had an amazing amount of blowback to my email (not the comments here), some of whom approve of the trimming of the list, and some of whom are outraged that I’m doing it. What amazes me is that others even have an opinion–after all, isn’t it my option to list as many or as few links as I like? For me, trimming the list is an affirmation of positive relationships–but I should already know that when you choose to re-claim your energy from draining venues, psychic or material, or even just from being spread too thin, some will object. My question is, do any of these people complain about the lack of links on other sites? I’m guessing not. 

3 June 2010: Mystic Rectangle Wants to Mess With You

So the Aquarius Moon advances by 3 AM PDT of the 3rd to become part of a major Mystic Rectangle made up of Moon/ Neptune/ Chiron, sextile Ceres, trine Mars, sextile Juno. Exuberance can be the result, with emotional idealism supported by a sense of power, authority, and sureness, and it’s easy to get carried away, and ultimately hurt because of it. We’re high as a kite, emotionally speaking, and don’t seem to notice the punch poised to land from that Fist of God with apex Neptune and base of Zeus square South Node. By being too optimistic, we leave ourselves open to falling for something we’ve fallen for in the past, something ambition or desire related, about which we’re deluded completely in the now. Between the two influences we could experience a sucker dynamic that may leave us embarrassed, deceived, or feeling just plain foolish. Most susceptible time is during the Void (starting at 7:58 AM PDT) through the Moon’s entry into Pisces, at 10:33 AM PDT. Then the emotions are united most closely with the potential for hurt from the preceeding events; if there’s any real injury to be felt, this is when it comes forward. Forewarned is forearmed.

At this point our attention may be drawn to a daunting Grand Square–Juno, Jupiter/ Uranus, Ceres, Saturn. Wasn’t it already in place, you may wonder? Yes, yes it was, but tension with the Moon almost always takes precedence in the experiential realm; when the emotions are engaged, the rest of the world may go by with little notice. So now our attention is on a dynamic requiring the individual to balance the relationship to power; this can be internal or external, but will almost certainly be spurred by something out in the world that causes conflict. Those who know themselves, and have a realistic idea of their own place, will fare best.

 Around 8:30 PM PDT the Moon trines Pallas, and suddenly it all makes sense; wisdom and emotional understanding prevail, and recent events and reactions are perceived fairly clearly for what they really are, and what they really mean. This should, for the most part, be an immense relief. By 8 AM PDT of the 4th the Moon quincunxes Zeus, and the emotional toll of our ambitions and desires comes to the fore–but at least we had the previous 12 hours or so to heal and re-group.

There’s a lot to talk about with the upcoming New Moon of the 12th; though the basics will be here at the blog, consider getting the full picture and details here http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-eclipse-spring-2010/ as well as material on the eclipses, Ceres, synastry, and so much more! Includes submission guidelines if you’d like to write for the mag (paid!) and a free mini-reading on Ceres with each journal purchase-just email me your data, or submit it with your payment under special instructions to seller.

4 AM PDT on the 26th and the Libra Moon quincunxes Merc retro in Taurus; second thoughts and second feelings characterize this influence–but don’t become too enmeshed in finding the ‘right’ approach/ idea/ words–this is mildly distressing but transitory. By 6 there’s a sextile to Mars that makes us want to act on our feelings, especially in relationship; the sense is that there’s some urgency to making significant contact–that person needs to know how I feel! may be the thought–but that may be more about the Fist of God created by the South Node square the Moon and Zeus, and all sesquiquadrate Neptune. This config makes us feel that a chance is slipping away (and for an unlucky few it may feel like they’re being deceived). Know that this is actually an echo of the past, a feeling coming forward that once was, and it has nothing to do with what’s going on now; the feeling has simply been reawakened and has attached itself to an area where you have some anxiety now. This is really a gift, as we may not be aware of what we’re really worried about, thanks to Merc retro’s confusing energy, and this experience can help us sort it out.

9 AM PDT and the Moon conjuncts Zeus. This period is very useful in showing us what ambitions and goals our emotional support is actually behind–sometimes we tell ourselves we want one thing, because it’s more acceptable to us, when we really want another–and this contact shows us what we’re truly aiming for. The great thing here is that we have a chance to align conscious and unconscious intentions–and when those are aligned things move–so take this opportunity to get energies in harmony within.

Noonish PDT the Moon makes a T-square with the Nodal axis, and we’re asked to take stock of how well our attitude is serving our life direction. Again, it’s just information that can help us make the most of our own energy use. We must take every chance offered to make our energy output as effective as it can possibly be.

I’ll be back with the rest of the day later–

West Coasters start the day (and everyone else meets this at various points in their routine) with a, what’s this? opposition of the sensitive Moon newly sojourning in Cancer and the Ceres and Pluto tag team in Capricorn. Today, at least through about 3 PM Pacific, may feel like one or the other of those two formidable forces is pulling no punches emotionally–and it will likely feel like it’s all coming from the outside, as if the powerful, authorities, the secret, the elements, and/ or Mom will be facing off with us directly. For those highly sensitized to Moon energies, it may feel like reality (Capricorn) is out to destroy us (Pluto); for those who are able to take it less personally (just about everyone else), it could feel more like a challenge–and one we’re ready to rise to.

A sneaky Fist of God (sneaky because the sucker punch it delivers comes disguised as the same old same old of Chiron/ Neptune) made up of the aforementioned conjunction of the great deluder and the sultan of hurt, sesquiquadrate the South node and Zeus, points to the real source of upset for today; though we feel like it’s power struggles that are the problem, it may actually be power struggles and old hurts from the past (South node). Our spirits, our imaginations (Neptune) bring them to life, and we are loathe to let them go, if only because it helps us make sense of the present.

It isn’t until about 1 AM PDT on the 20th that we move on emotionally to wanting to express, to communicate, but may be struggling with our own Will and ambitions (sextile to retro Merc and square to Zeus). Our goals and wants could feel to us like they’re requiring we modify communications, but we really aren’t able to articulate things right now, and the mind is searching for a reason that describes the difficulty. What we actually need to do is stop trying to formulate any specific messages right now; we are better off just feeling (and if possible, leaving those impulses as pure as possible, not patted into words or even concepts).

By 5 AM PDT the Cancer Moon conjuncts the South Node, and we have a direct pipeline to the past–and this means we have a direct line to intuit the lessons of the past and bring them forward to aid with the now.

, , , , , ,

Let’s start a little before the 12th begins my time, as around 11 PM PDT on the 11th we see the Pisces Moon sextile Juno in Taurus; we are prone, literally or figuratively, to dream of ways we can become empowered so that we can affect our material world. Pay attention to what’s running through your mind at this point; it will reveal a great deal about what you’re really hoping to gain, and will be especially illuminating if up to now you’ve not recognized the goals you’re emotionally yearning to meet.

By 2 AM PDT the Moon is close to conjunction with Uranus, bringing revelations, especially emotional ones, over the individual role within the group or Collective. We’ll see or realize something that surprises us. Then by 4 AM PDT the Moon is within opposition to Saturn in 29 degrees of Virgo. The feeling will definitely be one of pressure, crisis, or an almost frantic assessment of what’s been built in the life; in any case, a moment of reckoning that we think is putting us face to face with reality–but the reality is this is just a 29 degree expression of tension, with Saturn supplying the fear and the Moon a sense of vulnerability. Wait it out–the Moon enters the Void at 5:52 AM Pacific time, and though this may, for some, temporarily exacerbate those feelings of weakness, they will pass with the Moon’s entry into Aries at 6:30 AM.

The Aries Moon gives the benefit of offering an atmosphere of Self-possession; we can settle down a bit, secure in the right to seek out our own interests. Around noon of the 12th the Moon squares Ceres in Capricorn, giving us a chance to flex our Self-determination muscles; this could be a formidable challenge, as authorities are firm in their idea of what constitutes the rules. It’s at this point we might note the Fist of God formed by Juno square Neptune, both sesquiquadrate Zeus. This either elaborates on the more fleeting Moon-oriented authority challenge, or describes (as it will for some) an ongoing situation that the Moon only brings emphasis to. The Fist implies that one’s personal authority and empowerment are at odds with the Will and ambition of another, and either ideals or delusions are behind the controversy. If this fits a scenario in your life, you may find the Moon bringing forward a direct chance to hammer things out–just don’t succumb to emotionalism or make the mistake of completely ignoring the status quo in your campaign to get appropriate control of your own situation.

3 PM-ish the Aries Moon is within square to Pluto and trine to Mars–uh-oh, this is a lot of testosterone-y energy sources whacking into each other–you need to have those earlier conflicts wrapped up at this point, or the whole upset could go into overdrive. Proceed with caution.

Around 6 AM PDT on the 13th the Moon opposes Zeus; we may see echoes of the earlier situation, or, if we’re lucky, enjoy the way the whole confrontation turned out. We’re into the Dark of the Moon, so much of our reaction and upset during the 12th through to the New Moon could be experienced more on an internal level–but that can be just as wearing as a fist fight–with Aries, it really might be all in our heads!

17 March 2010: Sorting Will from Want

North American West Coasters start the day with a pounding (everybody else takes it on the chin, too, it’s just not their morning eye-opener): a Fist of God with Ceres at 29 degrees square the Earth in Virgo and both sesquiquadrate Juno. The exact Venus/ Zeus opposition doesn’t help, and the Aries Moon makes us a wee bit pugnacious. What to do?

This will at least feed stressful feelings, especially unconscious ones (that 29 degree Ceres will chip away at our sense of authority over our own lives, and for those susceptible may make them feel that others are outright taking that Self-authority away); at worst it could suggest real-world confrontations over who’s in charge of what, the kind of fight that pulls out accounting and details (Virgo) in the quest to win the upper hand. If we keep in mind that empowerment (and by that I mean a personal sense that we are effective and have a say) is the need for everyone, then we may deal with flare-ups that much more effectively, as with some effort we’ll find ways for each party to feel they’re of some significance.

Earth and her Moon; thanks, NASA

The Venus/ Zeus clash will for some be the focus energy, and it could come in one of a number of forms: female v. male; the worth of things v. the want for things; assets v. Will (for instance, with gambling or shopping); beauty v. muscle; love v. lust; genuine love v. unmet Daddy needs; and so on (see more on Zeus in action in the mag here http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/eclipse-in-depth-astrology-for-the-21st-century/) Everyone will feel some disparity between what’s of value and what we want, and serving both becomes an impossible balancing act (and one the Zeus/ Will side likely wins, with the Moon in Aries) unless we remember two things: the Chiron/ Neptune quincunx to Earth, and the fact that Mars is at 00 Leo. If we can avoid making decisions out of hurt or delusion, and if we can know that our urge to action may be premature or not totally formed or informed (the 00 placement), then we may be willing to take our time–and that alone can bring things into clearer perspective, if we allow Venus the chance to move forward and reveal our desires and illuminate our assets without the pressure of Willfulness and want (Zeus). And the Merc/ Mars trine, with the Trickster at 29 degrees, makes us prone to shoot our mouths off, especially in anger; hold off the cuff assertions until the push to speak passes–even though you may see your thoughts as reflecting an ideal or the common good (Pisces) they won’t come off that way.

So what is it a good day for? Taking Self-responsibility. The Aries Moon squares the Nodal axis (10 AM PDT) and we should be extra-aware that what we do will affect our Path. By 10 PM PDT the Moon has moved into trine with Vesta, and a review of how well our choices have served our core values will be in order, with a quincunx to Pallas giving us the wisdom and guidance to course-correct. By 3:30 AM PDT on the 18th the Moon quincunxes Earth, asking for emotions to accomodate realities, and vice versa, and by 7 AM PDT we see the Moon trine Ceres (matters of authority are clear, a relief after yesterday! though intrusiveness could be a problem) with the Void beginning at 9:08 AM PDT. The Moon enters Taurus at 9:29 AM PDT.

Greetings from the Future!

future fashion

Friday's fashions are nothing like today's

For the past two days I’ve been feeling like we’re two days farther into the week than we are; yesterday I thought it was Thursday, and today feels like Friday–so I’m just going to give up and go with the (time) flow, and tell you a little something about what it’s like here and today, Friday, October 30th, 2009. I hope you weren’t expecting anything flashy; it’s really pretty much like it was Wednesday, with gray skies and cool, late Fall weather where I am. The world is still spinning (or at least, that’s what the media tells me) and life is still a piquant mix of tragedy and sorrow and joy and hilarity and nonsense. So, why did I bother to write to you, you ask? Because of this Fist of God, formed by a Sun/ Ceres conjunction, square Mars, all these sesquiquadrate the Juno/ Uranus conjunction. We really should be ready for it; it may come out swinging, not in a bad way, but in a challenging one, and if we’re on top of the energy, we can use it.

First, though, if any of the elements of the Fist touch anything in your natal chart, pay special, close attention, for God may be thinking of reaching out and poking you, just you, with this fist–or at least, that’s what it may feel like, like you were singled out for a special drubbing by the capricious powers-that-be. Sun/ Ceres at 7 Scorpio, Mars at 6 Leo, and Juno/ Uranus at 21 and 23 Pisces, respectively, are the points to watch, and if your contact is with Juno/ Uranus, be especially alert, as you will be at the apex point of the energy–and so receiving the brunt of the Sun/ Ceres -/Mars square. For myself, I have my natal Moon sitting smack-dab between Juno and Uranus, making my emotional state, my intuition, and my subconscious wide open to receive the energy of the square (in empowerment of the individual form, I hope!) You have to wait two whole days to experience the effects for yourself; I only have to wait until later this afternoon 🙂

Overall, the picture is one of possible individual empowerment (or group empowerment) via the conflicts between powerful authorities (Sun/ Ceres) and pure action (Mars). This suggests that the energy generated will arise out of authorities’ choices in the face of actions observed–and it may lead to opportunity for the individual, the rebel, the intellectually engaged, the innovator, the avant garde Artist, the modern, the revolutionary, the reformed. The Uranian energy is, somewhat strangely, keyed to both hope and cynicism–if we can maintain a balance between the two, while remaining poised to strike while the figurative iron of opportunity, choice, and chance is hot, we can make outstanding use of the energy offered by this Fist of God.

No worries; I’ll wait here (Friday, that is) ’till you catch up!
