Void begins at 3:02 PM Pacific time; the Moon enters Aquarius at 11:02 PM PST, starting things off with a Lunar sextile to Uranus. Surprise! That’s really it–you’ll learn something new, shocking, of an avant garde nature, or from the group that causes a ‘Whoop!’ big or little. Your own rebellious nature may be the source of this, or it could have a competitive tone, almost academic in the way it presents someone’s (maybe even your) attempts at one-upsmanship. Roll with the punches, if at all possible.

A new issue of ECLIPSE will be out tonight, Pacific time–subscribers get it sent straight to their email, and it will be available by single copy!

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 3 November 2011: ‘No Sharing’

astrology, Moon in Aquarius, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Though my experience was nothing like this, why should it be? That kind of behavior changes nothing. Aquarel by Lisner c1770 {{PD}}

4:30 PM PDT the Aquarian Moon opposes Mars; there are two (or more!) possible effects, most likely being a sense that we’ve been stripped of ego by some emotional occurrence, or that we must confront the anger of another with only our intuition and feeling nature to guide us. Could be a little scary, for a variety of reasons. There may be a feeling that we should do something to ‘handle’ the situation, but we should keep in mind that the upset is really someone else’s–they’re just trying to share.

To see the rest, please subscribe! On a personal note, I was caught downtown about 8:30 PM of the 2nd in an offshoot of the Occupy Seattle movement; I’m very much in sympathy with the movement itself, but these people who wore hoods, linked arms to block street access, and carried bats, did not seem to be looking for reformation of the system, but to intimidate. There’s an old aphorism that you can’t end war by hating war, you must instead love peace; in this instance, I think these protesters might need to re-evaluate an approach that used threats of violence to . . . what? The only point they made to me was that those who choose this approach do so to make themselves feel important, to feel they are ‘doing something.’ If all you’re adding to the world is hate, are you any better than the people and methods you object to? And if what you’re doing is done with integrity, if you’re proud of it, why are you wearing hoods?

Just a Little Essence for Today 2 November 2011: ‘A Cool Eye’

Just after 7:30 AM PDT the Aquarian Moon squares the Sun/ Earth axis, bringing our abilities to assess our progress on the Path and in material matters to a sharpened focus. We survey it all with a cool eye; in fact, we must, as we are prompted by some sort of emotional disturbance to look closely at what we’re up to. At this point, we’re unlikely to be dissatisfied with our efforts.

5:30 PM PDT the Moon makes for a lovely Grand Trine with h.Zeus and the South Node. We draw on past experience to align the emotional state with the ambitions and desires; this is like fuel, removing internal obstacles to ambition fulfillment. Can give one a real boost, especially in attitude, and if you have plans in place, this can make them soar.

'La Fortuna' Agache 1885 {{PD-Art}}

Unfortunately, this is a day of mostly warnings (see the rest on the protected page, by subscription). Just after midnight the Capricorn Moon trines Sedna and squares Saturn. We can’t see obstacles, problems, or boundaries! Good for pushing forward with dreams,unless those dreams take us near cliffs or heavy machinery. The quincunx between Saturn and Sedna is lingering and means we’ll have difficulty for some time knowing when enough is enough, what the rules really are, and when to, as Nancy R. so eloquently put it, “Just say no.” The Moon’s contact only brings the emotional and intuitive energies to focus in this direction, in this case with an almost criminally easy disregard for the rules. Play it safe, or takes your chances :)

5 PM Pacific the Aquarian Moon sextiles Uranus, bringing little emotional shocks, surprises, and revelations–and maybe more than one of these. We know emotionally what about our own actions or ego has drawn these to us; it’s a point of understanding that is bigger than its parts.

Merc joins Venus at 29 degrees–and we probably won’t be able to stop communicating, or thinking about, our Venus pressures! There might be a lot of thinking about passions, values, and the worth of things, so that we may be quite abruptly prompted to drop certain interests, seemingly out of the blue.

For heaven’s sake, subscribe! The new issue of ECLIPSE comes out today, evening of the 1st Pacific time. Includes your Tongue-In-Cheek Guide to Surviving the Holidays, your detailed forecast, and much more!

The Essence for 10 September 2011: Don’t Dive Right In

Moon in Aquarius, Moon in Pisces, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Diving Horse 1907 {{PD}}

10:30 AM PDT the Moon conjuncts Neptune in the 29th degree of Aquarius. We are stressed! chiefly about how clearly we may or may not be perceiving matters. Those prone to illusion may dive right in; everyone else will go for varying types of reality checks or may recognize the potential for creative flow accessible to the intellect and use the energy in highly innovative ways. Void begins at 10:33 AM (remember there’s a window when this is in effect, so one can begin to work with the creative energy several hours before and after the aspect becomes exact, though during the Void we may get an unexpected result). The Moon enters Pisces at 12:27 PM Pacific time.

Subscribers, new forecast to your email later today!

The Essence for 9 September 2011: Emotionally Tipsy

'Andromache weeping over the ashes of Hector' Burke {{PD-Art}}

3 PM PDT the Moon trines the South Node, making us, in a way, emotionally tipsy. As always with the Moon in Aquarius, we believe we are rational even when we’re feeling, and SN in Gemini brings the mind repeatedly back to old conversations, associations, and links that have long been undone–and depending on how stridently we insist that we are reasoning purely, we will proportionately suffer a disturbance to the emotional equilibrium. If we can open ourselves to the unadulterated ups and downs of feeling, we can take an emotional journey without ever leaving the spot where we stand. Can inspire calls to people from the past, trips to dusty photo albums, and crying jags centered in hurt and regret from long ago. Soothe yourself by stepping outside (Air placements).

The Essence for 8 September 2011: Kicking and Screaming

Moon enters Aquarius (2:42 AM PDT) kicking and screaming. Why, I’m not sure–let’s just call it a hunch, and those of you awake at this time can report in :) Maybe it’s the semi-sextile to Chiron that sneaks in about 6:30 AM PDT; we are trying to go all intellectual on things (Aquarius) and somehow emotions, especially hurts, come forward. Self-awareness is the key here.

Just before 2 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Vesta, putting us in a noble frame of mind. This can put us on the trail of living our highest ideals in order to gain emotional fulfillment, and perhaps surprisingly, could make us intolerant, condescending, and vain, because any contact with others may invite us to judge and compare–and really, nobody can do “I’m devoted to a higher concept than you are” like Vesta! Those who fare best are those who hold respect for others and their own humility in high regard.

It’s A Full Moon Weekend! Here’s the Essence for 13-15 August 2011

Full Moon, Moon in Aquarius, My Daily Astrology Diary, My Weekend Astro Diary, The Astro Essence

Sargent 1885-1886 {{PD-Art}}

What happens over the next three days (12th-15th or so, with perfection of the Sun/ Venus conjunction on the 16th), apart from (or perhaps as a significant aspect of) the Full Moon is a Fist of God with base of Uranus square Pluto and apex of the Sun/ Venus conjunction. This is in effect as the Full Moon opposes the Sun and Venus, trines the South Node and is just shy (but I think I’ll count it) of a square to Sedna. The Fist says that we enter a brief period wherein those long-term and still-occurring changes spurred by the Uranus/ Pluto square will yield their effects on the relationship and/ or financial picture, or on matters of the Houses ruled by Venus and the Sun. We will see the results of the stresses from the square very clearly, over a span of roughly three or four days. We may see any number of manifestations in any number of areas, but all will contain a theme of unexpected change or transformation that is in response to both our relationship as an individual to the group and to the changes to ourselves and to those things we thought were permanent, that have since proven not so–the most important point will be that we recognize what we encounter as an indicator of 1) the way our lives will be different from this point forward, and 2) that we acknowledge the reality of what’s happening, and that, no matter what, there’s no going back. These effects are highly dependent on the way Uranus/ Pluto has so far shown up in the personal chart, but we can be sure of one thing: it will channel any conflict into Venus and/ or Sun related areas, so that these areas will be the recipients of the stress, rather than the origins of it. That’s important to note when it might be easy to believe our relationships, our finances, or other Sun/Venus areas of the chart to be the source of all the upset, rather than the ‘victims’ of it.

The Full Moon for August occurs at 11:57 AM Pacific time of the 13th at 20 Aquarius 41. The sparseness of the aspects made by the Full Moon (trine SN, opp Venus, square Sedna) suggest a rather simple picture that is complicated by its subtlety: the culmination of Lunar energy is in direct opposition to the Love principle, to pleasure, reward, and both possession and enjoyment of assets. Like the Fist, it implies that the endings or completions that come about will be contrary to our Venusian sensibilities, and that, we will both draw on or relive the past in some way, and be unable to pinpoint that this is going on (trine to South Node, square to Sedna). This could mean that we suffer without knowing just what is ending or at risk–and yet we have a way to successfully observe the action via the concurrent Fist and its apex energies of Sun and Venus. So, we will experience upset, endings, and change, much of which will affect the relationship, values, assets, and finances picture (and some of which may appear to be caused by the Venusian areas of life) but they will really be results of Uranus/ Pluto, of a channeling of the past and past behaviors and responses, and for all intents and purposes causes will be not just unclear, they will be impossible at this time to pinpoint.

Void begins 5:27 AM PDT of the 14th; the Moon enters Pisces at 5:54 AM PDT. The Moon conjuncts Chiron, 11:30 AM-ish Pacific, and suddenly we are very aware of our wounds, our unique skills, or both. Can be a moment of healing and revelation, if we are not too married to feeling hurt.

A Mystic Rectangle involving the Nodes and the Sun/ Earth axis, + Venus, is in effect, and chiefly serves to point out this is a fate-determining time, one where we will be guided by values (Sun + Venus), which is a good thing. Those for whom this connects solidly into the natal chart (through placements at approximately 21 degrees) will find this acts like an amplifying antenna, making the contacted energy overwhelmingly prominent, and instrumental in the fate-shaping choices made now.

The Essence for 12 August 2011: The Amplifier

11 Thursday Aug 2011

Moon in Aquarius, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Apparently the company of an angel is all the amplifier one needs 'Saint Cecilia with an Angel' c.1620 {{PD-Art}}

Here’s an interesting config: Mars semi-square Sun, which is sesquiquadrate Pluto, which is semi-square Earth, which sesquiquadrates Mars. This suggests an enormous amount of tension, anger, even rage, connected with life direction and material circumstances. When this kind of tension aspect manifests with the transiting Sun/ Earth axis, we see large numbers of individuals expressing frustrations en masse that have much different actual connection to their real life (read here, ‘their natal chart’). It’s as if the particularized situation is swept up in the common energy, amplifying it and, in the participants’ minds, giving it the same level of tension, and so bringing them to the same level of anger expression. It’s akin to the infamous ‘mob mentality,’ and something we should be both aware of and wary of at this time.

1:30 PM PDT the Aquarius Moon squares Jupiter, perhaps pitting our emotional state against the social scene. The reaction could come because we are less than genuine when confronted by the social order; the Aquarian Moon may play it cool, or may actually be disconnected from feelings, and that’s what the social group is reacting to. We feel attacked or upset, but may be the ‘generator’ for the reaction in the first place–it’s the circle of life, but not like we expect! A 3:30 PM conjunction of the Moon to Vesta puts us back on track, re-aligning the emotions with our most sacred values; we listen to ourselves, not the social circle or standards not our own.

The Essence for 17 July 2011: Focus on Empowerment

Here is a most unusual picture: 'Freyja, Cats, and Angels' You figure it out. {{PD-Art}} Blommer 1852

8:30 AM PDT sees the Moon square Sedna and trine the South Node; even when we’re unable to pinpoint our feelings, we are able to draw from the past, from memory at all levels, and move in the right direction. Next comes the Moon’s quincunx to the Sun, 10 AM-ish Pacific, and the effect may be like having a bright light shone on matters–we’ll see just how we need to adjust, especially emotionally. At this point the Moon effectively forms a Finger of God with the Sun’s sextile to Juno in Virgo. Here we see the need to focus on empowerment and the scenario that will allow us to express our sense of personal authority; once this is in our sights, we will feel a strong ‘hit’ of intuitive power and emotional clarity. Excellent.

Adept astrologer Elaine Kalantarian offers us this perceptive re-telling of the Skeleton Woman story, applicable not just to the eclipse for which this was originally posted at Blue Moon Astrology
