1 AM PDT of the 25th the Gemini Moon squares Pallas. What we’re thinking may be at odds with what’s wise–let feelings break the tie. 3 AM PDT the Moon fills in the base to a Finger of God with Black Moon Lilith, apex Pluto. It’s time to look at emotional secrets, those things we’d hoped to keep hidden, and deal with them for good; the payoff will be a clean slate, and maybe a little power. 9 AM PDT the Moon trines Zeus; our intuition supports our ambitions, and act as an excellent guide. 11 AM PDT the Moon sextiles Uranus and trines Mars. We act (or talk about acting) but surprise ourselves or others with the unexpected, the innovative, or the original. Go with it. 1 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes Saturn and squares Chiron. We may find ourselves adjusting the surroundings to fit our wounds; protect yourself, but realize too much coddling may actually prevent healing. 5:30 PM PDT the Moon trines Vesta-Ceres. We connect with what’s important to us through feeling–and behind that we find power.

Today’s image is a burst pipe. This brings to mind the unexpected gush of emotion, the kind of feeling that overwhelms and simply won’t be contained. There is something that is nearing this point with you, something you feel strongly about–and haven’t adequately expressed. Find it and let it out, before any damage is done.

8 AM PDT of the 31st the Aries Moon opposes retro Mars and quincunxes Saturn; what ensues may be an emotional tug-of-war over independence and leading the way–and yet motives are confused and people may end up contradicting themselves in the race to be first or to be in charge. The vibe ends up being disconcerting to those who think about who’s saying what; those lacking introspection sail through with nary a scratch. Anyone who wants to win will go the restrained and modest route. Noon Pacific time the Moon sextiles Venus. It’s a good time for an assignation, as long as you follow the rules (Venus in Aquarius). 2 PM PDT the Moon trines Pallas. Emotional wisdom is easily accessible and can guide choice and action at this time in a successful direction. 3 PM PDT the Moon opposes Vesta. We may feel distant from our highest values at this point; enacting emotional independence gives us the impression that we don’t have to put our priorities and obligations into the equation–it would be a mistake not to. 7 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts the South Node and opposes North Node-Ceres. We may take a trip down memory lane, or even actually fall back into old ways, and lose our mojo. Stay focused in the present, and clear about the influence we hold and the territory that is ours, for best results. Void begins at 7:21 PM PDT as the Moon begins to move out of opposition to Ceres; the Moon enters Taurus at 10:21 PM PDT.

I’ve been so busy I failed to update the charts for ECLIPSE in a timely way, but they’re fixed now—also updated what’s in the current ECLIPSE, which you can see here. I hope you enjoyed the New Moon new start–have a great week!

'The Loving Cup' by Rossetti 1867 {{PD-Art}}

‘The Loving Cup’ by Rossetti 1867 {{PD-Art}}

13 November Venus trines the South Node, and each of us receives a ‘Loving Cup’ (a ‘trophy’ or reward) from the past. This will take a Venusian form (though that form may be intangible) and will act as a sort of unexpected bonus, centered in some activity or connections from the past. Just enjoy it, when it comes. (Venus trine the South Node)

And a taste of the Lunar essence from the Daily:

Noon Pacific time the Aries Moon squares Venus and quincunxes the North Node. This can bring relationship or financial upsets that may have much farther reaching consequences than we realize–and that could be an actual rejection of that Venusian reward promised by Venus’s contact with the South Node. We may not recognize our ‘Loving Cup’ when it’s presented to us–which should give us pause as we realize how easily we may refuse opportunity, gratitude, or promise, mistaking it for something else.

Get it all in an ECLIPSE subscription, at less than $7 per month! Order now and I’ll include the complete eclipse report for the just-past events–their effects reverberate through and set a tone for the coming 6 months–so what are you waiting for?

The first eclipse of the set is Lunar (a Full Moon) and falls at 25 Aries 45, arriving at 4:38 PM PDT (and for those of you who are tickled by synchronicities, I called the chart program up at precisely 4:38 PM, so that when I went to the correct day, there was the eclipse, already perfected!) We use, of course, our very strict orbs (that always somehow seem to get stretched!) so that the only aspect made is a quincunx to Ceres.

The singular event for this Lunar eclipse centers on a Full Aries Moon that is in uncomfortable aspect to the asteroid named for the goddess in control of the seasons, of nature itself, and with a powerful sense of territoriality and the strength to negotiate with even the most formidable opponents (in Ceres’ case, that was Pluto).

An Aries Full Moon marks the culmination of personal, individual effort, making a statement of the ‘I Am’ in no uncertain terms; we expect this statement in the natal House where the FM falls, and it’s purpose is Self-assessment, through a lens of completion: ‘I know I am ‘x’, because I have done ‘y”.

The Ceres quincunx suggests that the eclipse event of ‘I Am’ must take into account some power player, perhaps a woman of influence or authority, perhaps simply a human-shaped force of nature, or possibly an entity that feels they have say over our world, to the point of dictating our circumstances or negotiating our permissions, or another with whom we must ourselves negotiate in determining territory and reach. It may be someone from whom we have sought ‘permission’ of one kind or another at some point, who still believes your Self-statement is subject to their approval. It’s one of Ceres’ less endearing traits that someone strongly identified with this role may not clearly see her own legitimate boundaries–and this is something those involved with the lady (no matter what form she comes in) nearly always must negotiate for themselves–in this way contact with Ceres may challenge us to establish our boundaries to others, to announce our territory, or to say what or who we have dominion over–certainly an ‘I Am’ statement of the first order.

To see the complete eclipse report for both upcoming Lunar and Solar events, please subscribe!

Just a thought, morning of the 17th: Should we expect Mother Nature to act up? Maybe–with Ceres in Virgo, earthquakes may be the thing, but does fiery Aries promise lava? We’ll see! Sounds like a ‘scorched earth’ policy, in some important sense.

2 AM PDT of the 25th the Aries Moon squares Mars and trines Ceres. A pinnacle for power that does not allow for easy or straightforward action. Use your power in an intangible way, through prayer, thought, good wishes, or in the setting of positive intentions. Void begins at 3:42 AM PDT; the Moon enters Taurus at 6:14 AM Pacific time. 10 AM PDT the Moon trines the Sun. Sets a harmonious, positive tone for the Moon’s passage through Taurus. Noon the Moon trines Mercury and sextiles Neptune. It’s easy to spin a tale, or should I say, take a creative tack when communicating. We should stick to what we’re sure of at this time, and we need to listen carefully to what we’re told–we might hear music, or deception, behind the words. Starting about 4 PM PDT we see a Mystic Rectangle made up of Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, and the Moon. This is brief but can lend a magical-feeling ‘lift’ to efforts we make at this time–some will succeed with surprising ease. 5 PM PDT the Moon creates a T-square with Saturn and Juno. This puts us in an emotional quandary, possibly caught in the struggle between Mom and Dad (think symbolically). It may seem to be a choice between empowerment and handing that power over to an authority figure–my advice is to go for your own empowerment, should you feel the urge. 11 PM PDT the Moon trines Pluto. We may want to bare our Soul to another–or could feel it’s the time to get something toxic off our chest. Weigh carefully the impact this may have on others, before going forward.

For Friday the 26th:

the Moon enters Aries at 2:29 PM PDT. 8 PM Pacific time the Moon squares Pallas. Feelings may come into direct conflict with what we know is wise; at this time side with wisdom, as emotions are likely to be too headstrong and Willful. 10 PM PDT the Moon trines the Sun and semi-sextiles Neptune. This combo shows us what we feel through the gauze of illusion, vagueness, or misunderstanding; clear up your vision before drawing any conclusions. Just after 11 PM PDT the Moon becomes apex to a Finger of God with base of Saturn-Venus. Pinning down relationship ‘rules’, restricting spending, or realizing an artistic vision in concrete terms results in a sense of accomplishment and emotional satisfaction–so why wouldn’t you do it?

For Saturday the 27th:

Reality may seem harsh or unduly contrary, while secrets or buried treasure, info, or desires are revealed. There’s a bit of archaeology going on around the home front, or into the life of the mate, and we may find out things about those causes we’re dedicated to, or about those subjects we find sacred, that changes their status in our eyes permanently. Motives powered by the ego and the Will and hidden even from ourselves drive things, perhaps because there is a simultaneous reality check concerning life direction, and this may throw some into a panic, and others into action. (Pluto quincunx Vesta, Mars semi-square Sedna, opposed Pluto, Sun quincunx Neptune, Sun-Earth axis square Saturn)

And for Sunday the 28th:

Today sees a lovely, sparkly sextile of Venus to Jupiter, and we get a beautiful basket of ‘maybe’ delivered to our door–it’s up to us to make something of this, or we could just float through the day socializing pleasantly but doing little else. With some effort and direction on our part this aspect can result in an influx of Money, resources, or Love in many forms, but it can also see these things go out the door just as easily. We can spend too freely or commit resources to the social circle or to expansion efforts, and we may do so without regard to whether we can actually afford it. We do, however, understand the worth of knowledge, education, in-place hierarchies, having a viable life philosophy, and travel, so could make excellent plans at this time–just wait ’til later to buy the ticket.

This is a small sampling from the Weekly ECLIPSE; give it a try–subscribe!

‘Portrait of Miss L.L.’ by James Tissot 1864 {{PD-Art}}

Today’s Lunar essence, from ECLIPSE:

9 AM PDT July 1st the Aries Moon squares Vesta. Our highest values are in conflict with our feelings–we must ask ourselves why. It’s likely a matter of poorly defined priorities and assumptions that just shouldn’t be. Void begins at 10:42 AM PDT; the Moon enters Taurus at 2:43 PM Pacific time. It’s 5 PM PDT before the Taurus Moon makes its first aspect, a sextile to Jupiter. We are optimistic, especially about our assets and skills–make sure they are as fit and abundant as they seem, before giving them away. 10 PM PDT the Moon squares Ceres and Venus, sextiles Neptune, and opposes Saturn. Reality may seem particularly harsh, and we may seek escape only to find authorities block our path. This is our own resistance to dealing with our reality reflected back at us–if we accept our own power, and so our own responsibilities, we can see a dream or two come true, or gain some reward, in the near future–otherwise, whatever we indulge in is gonna cost.

This is from ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest; get it all here. WEEKEND SPECIAL: All 6 Month subscriptions or re-subscriptions ordered this weekend 31 May-2 June will receive either 3 Free Bonus Months OR a copy of ‘Juno in the Natal Chart’, subscriber’s choice! Just fill in the ‘message’ space on your order with your preference. Now what are you waiting for? And have a great weekend!

7 AM PDT of the 1st the Pisces Moon trines Ceres. The emotional perceptions and the intuition are powerfully informed through nature and attunement to the unseen. It’s the perfect time to ask yourself, “What should I do?” because the answer will be crystal clear and instantaneous–then the challenge becomes not to ignore it. 11 AM PDT the Moon sextiles Sedna, then squares Jupiter. We may feel lost, then find ourselves at the mercy of the social sphere–or, we delve deep within, and so incur the displeasure of the social circle, which wants our energy and attention. Either way we get a social spanking. Don’t judge yourself by the reaction you’re getting from others–it really isn’t related to you at all. 8 PM PDT the Moon squares Venus. It’s just not the time to socialize; no matter how smoothly things start, things will at some point get bumpy, uncomfortable, and/ or downright hostile. Focusing on what’s wrong in the relationship picture won’t get you anywhere, but this could be the right point to assess what you need to change about the earning situation, or in relationship to the Arts. Void begins at 9:31 PM PDT; the Moon enters Aries at 11:34 PM PDT.

Here’s an excerpt on the New Moon in Aries from the current ECLIPSE; to see more please subscribe!

10 April sees Ceres sesquiquadrate the North Node and Mercury square Vesta, as well as a New Moon in Aries. The ambiance pre-NM is what I would describe as ‘rebellious’: words are contrary to established values, the home, and the interests of the mate, and resistance to authority figures, Mom, and an inability to see the need to bargain or negotiate is rife. The ether, environment, and the psyche are all disturbed, broken open by the New Moon

The Aries New Moon arrives at 2:35 AM PDT April 10th at 20 Aries 40

The Moon is self-contained, reaching out not at all. Everything is held neatly in just over 3 degrees: the meeting of Sun and Moon, Mars, and Venus. It’s almost like a single beacon, the kind of gathering that would’ve drawn lots of attention in the ancient sky, as so many visible bodies converged. In Aries especially, this suggests individual action for gain or to facilitate relationship, in a very concentrated, mobilized way. It may be that this lights a fire under our sense of initiative, and as well fires up our sense of hope–for that’s what a concerted, focused call to action kindles within. If we respond, we do so out of the belief (even if we aren’t aware of it or don’t admit it) that something positive will come of our actions.

‘Lady in Gold’ TW Dewing 1912 {{PD-Art}}

For the 13th:

Noon Pacific time the Aries Moon squares Pluto and sextiles Vesta. Stick with what you know you honor, and let ‘opportunities’ for power glide by–they are much more likely traps than gold mines.
