Toulouse-Lautrec 1890 {{PD-Art}}

From the newsletter:

The 28th brings Merc square Jupiter, Earth quincunx Pluto, and the Sun sesquiquadrate Mars. This is a formula for discord and conflict, where everyone is to some extent uncomfortable. Communications come across as exaggerated or bragging, the social arena reacts poorly to what’s put out, we are unhappy with material circumstances and wish for change, and our need for action is illuminated and yet we are critical of any possible course we could take. Believing that action is a necessity is the big mistake; with our thoughts and energy tied up in conflict, there’s no way we can see clearly what to do. Despite what likely felt like extraordinary ‘luck’  we experienced yesterday, we are just not in the same position today–and need to accept that, and hang back a bit.

And the Lunar outlook for Sunday, the 29th:

6 AM PST the Moon quincunxes retro Mars. This may be the big kick-off to our personal efforts to remedy actions we think we got wrong in the pre-retro period.

Noonish the Aries Moon sextiles Pallas, giving us a little shot of common sense and smarts–we’ll know it wasn’t a good idea to do that Aries Moon-type thing (maybe getting emotionally aggressive, all up in one’s grill with our feelings-ouch!)

Just after 8 PM PST the Moon opposes Saturn and sextiles Neptune. What a combination!! We throw off all constraints and let our imaginations lead–the atmosphere is tense, with all at 29 degrees (perhaps imparting a feeling that we must do ‘it’!) and we have no idea where this will take us, as we proceed into the Void at 10:10 PM Pacific time–the only thing we can count on is that each individual will be an individual, and very very Willful. Good luck!

Moon enters Taurus at 10:28 PM PST.

Agasse 1830 {{PD-Art}}

10 AM PST the Aries Moon opposes Saturn and sextiles Neptune. Reality is back but avoidable, if we want to comfort ourselves with fantasy, delusion, or other escape. Things may seem a little more harsh than they should be, and the instrument of this grating perception may be a partner, mate, or via an aesthetic matter. Don’t be too hard on yourself; welcome the Void, which will allow some drifting and will make it far easier to get back into the swing, especially since the Moon’s entry to Taurus will encourage us to connect with reality through the sensual and comforting.

Void begins 12:08 PM PST; Moon enters Taurus at 2:16 PM, conjunct Jupiter and for a period placing Uranus at the midpoint of Moon/ Jupiter sextile Chiron. We may overindulge as nerves are jangled and perceptions of hurt exaggerated. It’s a ‘feel sorry for yourself, have a chocolate’ aspect set!! Not a disaster, just try not to dwell there for long ;)

The Lunar Essence 31 Dec-1 January 2012: ‘Welcoming the New Year With a Fiery Spiral of Death’

3:30 PM PST the Aries Moon squares Pluto. If we acted out before, we find out why now; ditto for discovering the motives of others. Very negative things may be said or done at this point; it’s not a time for letting others know about your emotional housecleaning, and certainly think twice before severing ties with others–you’re at an extreme feeling point–don’t let that extremity drive you.

Just before 10 PM PST the Moon squares the Sun/ Earth axis. We feel ourselves at odds with our own Purpose and direction. There’s no fixing that–all we can do is recognize that, once again, we’re hitting a ‘feeling extreme’, and are better off not reacting too strongly.

Happy New Year!

4 AM PST of the 1st the Moon trines the North Node. Are we moving in our destined direction at this time? Yes, yes we are. More of consequence occurs right now than we are consciously aware of, but it’s stored in the unconscious (Moon) and concerns our actions and impulses (Fire). We must wait for the big reveal, however :(

5:30 AM PST the Moon sextiles Venus, prompting gratitude and pleasant interaction (and perhaps reward). An excellent time to talk it out, or act it out!

6 PM Pacific the Moon quincunxes Mars–talk about a feeling roller-coaster! It seems upset, angry, and/ or aggressive feeling is unavoidable, and much as we may successfully handle it at various points in the day, it still pops out at a moment’s notice! Likely flows out as criticism or some ‘harsh accounting’ (Mars in Virgo) Try to minimize damage by getting physically active.

8 PM PST the Aries Moon trines Mercury–actions lead to words, words lead to actions–could result in a Fiery spiral of death, if our Martian energies are still stirred up and pent up! I would recommend something a little daring, a little exciting, and at least somewhat active to work the energy off while minimizing the damage potentials: fire dancing, flaming shots, martial arts practice, lively (political?) debate all fit the bill. Please, no Molotov throwing, verbal or otherwise, fire setting, or BBQ-ing–everything will burn!

I love the delicate rendering of detail in this picture. 'The Destruction of the City Wall' Lebschee 1849 {{PD-Art}}

5:30 AM PST the Moon squares Pluto, confronting us with something disturbing–and we feel we must do something about it (Cardinal placements). The leader in us is aroused–but we need to carefully sort out whether this is something to be remedied or a disaster that needs preventing, or whether it’s simply another outmoded Capricorn structure biting the dust.

9:30 AM PST the Moon sextiles Pallas–and if we didn’t know how to respond to the ‘emotional crisis’ of a few hours ago, we do now.

2 PM Pacific sees the Moon square Venus and quincunx Mars. Action costs, and the question becomes, are we willing to pay the price to do (or have) as we wish?

6 PM PST the Moon trines the Sun, making for an interlude that’s both energized and harmonious–an optimistic, get-it-done aspect.

'The Cherry Thieves' Zuber-Buhler {{PD-Art}}

Void begins 9:50 AM PST; Moon enters Aries at 5:52 PM Pacific time. We’ve got an immediate Lunar conjunction to Uranus–and we may surprise ourselves with our own aggressive nature, leadership skills, or decisive emotional manner. The group may or may not like this–negative reactions from others can be used to determine who’s trying to suck the life out of us (that’s a little dramatic–let’s say, ‘who’s trying to take our life energy, even in small measure, for their own’–makes theft sound so much nicer, doesn’t it? :))

Copley 1782 {{PD-Art}}

Post 10 AM PST the Aries Moon opposes Saturn in Libra. Will it be us, putting the brakes on ourselves and our assertive emotional (or emotion-driven assertion) Self, or will someone or something else throw obstacles in our path? We either meld the emotional perceptions with Saturn principles and hobble ourselves (and this isn’t necessarily bad!) or we feel divorced from the ideas of repression, restraint, Self-discipline, or tradition and the rules, and someone else steps in to give us a smackdown. Don’t take it personally–take it instead as the Universe helping us to avoid disaster :)

'Rest at Harvest' Bouguereau 1865 {{PD-Art}}

Around 4 PM PST the Moon hits the midpoint of Ceres/ Earth. May create a sudden, flowing emotional connection, like a heartbeat or a nerve impulse, between the individual and the Earth or nature. The sense is that the planet is alive, moving, respiring beneath our feet, that the air is a prana meant to fill us, the awareness not just of our connectedness but of ourselves as integral parts (though that word sounds too separate) of nature. Can be refreshing, replenishing, healing, and offer an entirely new viewpoint, even for those long in close contact with Mother Earth.

By 5 PM Pacific the Moon is quincunx the Sun; we may be busy adjusting our Self-image, or our Purpose, or even our emotional response to existence. The kind of moment that at one time was defined as ‘heavy’ :)

'A Venetian Gaming House in the 16th Century' Prinsep {{PD-Art))

9 PM PST sees the Arian Moon trine Mercury and square Pluto. It’s easy to communicate–but what we hear, say, write, learn, or convey through action (Aries) or by broadcasting, reaching out, or through education channels (Sagittarius) may be a game-changer–or destroyer. The contrast between the ease with which our thoughts flow and the effect they have on others or a situation can’t be overemphasized. Our emotional Self-focus (Moon in Aries) makes it tough to anticipate the impact of our communications; look to the matters of the House where Pluto now transits, the House where Pluto is posited natally, and the House ruled by Pluto in the natal chart, to see in which direction the change or destruction might flow.

Just a Little Essence for the Full Moon 11 October 2011: ‘A Choice of Roles’

Schinkel's 1815 gouache for the Queen of the Night's scene in 'The Magic Flute' {{PD-Art}}

On the 11th we have a Full Moon, at 7:05 PM Pacific time, at 18 Aries 24. An opposition to Saturn ( which is of course conjunct the Sun) is the only aspect that falls within our strict two degree orb.

What happens when the culmination of Full Moon energy is directly in opposition to the Solar orb and the king of reality, Saturn? We may see a situation where we are offered two ‘versions’ of reality, each equally valid! The culmination comes in an energy (Aries) that is about asserting the Self, and about leading others–and this may be a point where we make the personal choice between taking on one of these two roles. It’s really very straightforward, this time around.

Beauce 1849 {{PD-Art}}

10 PM PDT the Moon finds herself at the midpoint of Ceres and Sedna. We are emotionally vulnerable to those in authority, and we don’t see this! Someone who wields a natural position over us, or who is a crack negotiator (remember, that’s one of Ceres’ outstanding skills!) may work their magic on us and we will be unaware of the influence. Stay alert 🙂
