Skovgaard 1851 {{PD-Art}}

A sextile to Vesta from the Moon comes about near noon, PDT, and acts to remind us of what matters most. Will pull some back from the precipice over which they were leaning, ready to throw ‘it’ all away. 2 PM PDT and the Moon is quincunx Mercury, making us work to be understood, and to understand–not a great time for communicating. If you can’t avoid it, try to look past all the ego and bluster, and stick to details, facts, numbers, and, perhaps surprisingly, health matters–all these will be heard loud and clear.

Take time out for play, so you don't take things too seriously. Artist unknown, c19th century {{PD-Art}}

The 17th

7 PM PDT the Moon opposes Saturn and h.Zeus; Now it all becomes about reality-based progress, and how well our ambitions and desires are materializing–and of course that doesn’t sit well with the emotional state, which wants to feel we’re making progress. In this instance focusing on action (Moon in Aries) may shift things just enough to make for a truly productive review of our circumstances–otherwise we may burn out in our intense effort to examine every nook and cranny of the life.

The 18th

11 AM PDT the Moon trines the North Node, setting a tone of ‘Action for Accomplishment.’ This is only a problem if we put on blinders and are too intent on our own Path. Leave room for others, for interaction, and for a touch of playfulness, to avoid taking things too seriously. This is the kick-off for a Moon/ NN/ Mercury Grand Trine that could bring some frustration, as we are late in the retro cycle and so chomping at the bit to go forward with our ideas. If we can employ patience and perspective, chiefly by recognizing we can’t do all things at once anyway! we’ll achieve a fair amount of balance.

The Essence for 16-17 August 2011: Being True to Our Own Nature, Being True to Mars

Van Rysselsberghe 1901 {{PD-Art}}

Moon conjuncts Ceres, 3 PM Pacific, and the two meet in a crisis degree (29). We may have very strong feelings at this point about whose province is whose, about our relationship to Mother Nature and to all Her components that correspond to things within us–and with this we are likely to focus on the ways we are being unnatural, and therefore untrue, to our own nature–and we may deal with issues of authority, or may deal with authorities, and the result is a bit of a downer: we see where we’re sinning, in the archaic sense of ‘missing the mark.’ Don’t be too hard on yourself; instead celebrate that you are able to see what’s amiss–perceiving a problem hands us the chance to fix it.

Void begins 3:40 PM PDT; the Moon enters Aries at 5:02 PM PDT. First aspect is at 7 PM, a sextile to Pallas. Use this period to set the tone; wisdom is offered–will you accept it?

The 17th

The Moon conjuncts Uranus in Aries, 1 AM Pacific. Will it just be me, or will all of us be vibrating with new ideas, radical plans, revolutionary thoughts, innovative concepts, and rebellious urges? I vote for it affecting everyone; differences will be in how far we carry these (for some) middle-of-the-night revelations. The state of your natal Mars at present, plus how transiting Mars (at 9 Cancer 14) is affecting your chart, will determine the level at which this is put into action. Possibilities go from just in your head to a complete, almost Plutonian re-vamping of your life circumstances. At the very least, nervous systems will jump and sleep will be disturbed–there isn’t a sugar plum around that will save us from the meeting of our emotions and intuition with the spirit of revolution.

Even if we study this picture, it remains mysterious. Rimmer 'Flight and Pursuit' 1872 {{PD-Art}}

8 PM PDT brings the Moon square the Sun–fundamental differences among allies may come to light–though the Sun pulls ahead before the aspect perfects, and moves into Leo (9:12 PM Pacific), which, I suppose, begins the Void–but a backward one, with the pursued object outpacing the pursuer! Hmm, I wonder if that says anything about the current situation–because I think it does. Look for sudden reversals of situations that we assume to be a particular way, and especially look for a significant ‘drawing away’ of energy in a capacity that previously appeared set.

The Lunar orb enters Taurus, 9:58 PM PDT, and immediately aspects our friends: the Sun/ Earth axis by T, Neptune by sextile, and Ceres by semi-sextile–which latter two, technically, put Ceres at the midpoint of Neptune and the Moon. The T, as usual, asks us to examine the life direction; these are typically moments of reflection that help to keep our emotional outlook in line with our life efforts and the material situation we’re creating. The midpoint picture suggests that the place where our ideals, imagination, creativity, and fantasy meet our emotional and intuitive abilities is the place where we find our authority, connection to nature, and our ‘power role’–this can be a point where we see our way clear to express our primal creative intent–this can provide a great deal of vital information about our internal ‘power set-up’ and the ways we can successfully manifest/ access it.

Degas pre-1917 {{PD-Art}}

7:30 AM PDT the Moon opposes Saturn, likely prompting us to state our case or assert ourselves in partnership or relationship. This may be something of a culmination of this energy; there is a need for us to make clear who we are within the interaction dynamic–and we can do so at this point with unusual clarity, and with the very healthy option of putting our own needs and interests, especially emotional ones, first. By 9:30 AM Pacific the Moon opposes h.Zeus, suggesting that we have a good chance of feeling empowered by the way we handled the Saturn contact, and now we may put our desires and ambitions on the table. This is a ‘come clean’ series of contacts, and if handled well, could propel us to a higher level of honesty with others and ourselves.

The Essence for 20 July 2011: Paperwork, Then Soul Searching

The Semper Augustus tulip was the most expensive tulip sold during Tulipmania in the Netherlands, 17th century drawing in the Norton Simon collection, Los Angeles {{PD}}

3:30 AM PDT of the 20th the Moon trines the Sun and opposes Juno. We know who we are, but have some difficulty empowering ourselves–it seems others are critical or require specific paperwork (Virgo) and we thought our positive intention toward the Universe would be enough (Pisces). There’s really no arguing to be done here; believe in yourself and gather your papers and credentials. Void begins at 5:03 AM PDT as the Moon begins to pull away from Juno, with the Moon entering Aries, 9:25 AM PDT.

7:30 PM PDT the Moon squares Pluto, either heaping fuel on the Arian Fire (and perhaps supplying the resolve, via Capricorn, to act, condemn, confirm, or end the matter) or resulting in some active, deep, and possibly intrusive Soul searching–intrusive because the Soul we may be prompted to search might not be our own! Again, tread with care, and consider channeling this energy into cleaning out something, whether that’s internal or external. Taking the energy in hand positively can give us the vigor and perspective to re-generate, reform, or re-birth something important.

Be careful what you overthrow; you never know with what it might be replaced 'The Belgian Revolution' Wappers 1830 {{PD-Art}}

Uranus squares the Sun/ Earth axis right now, Jupiter trines Earth in Earth, and Mars quincunxes it. We may feel ambushed, in the largest picture sense, and feel a real desire to DO SOMETHING to right the material and asset scenario we see before us. There’s a little of the revolutionary in our attitude–but that’s no guarantee that what will replace the current situation will be an improvement. Consider that wanting more, or wanting to change society as a whole (the two biggest impulses associated with this) are both a little grandiose, in the sense that there are reasons we’re where we are and society’s where it is. Instead of railing madly (always tempting) we’d do better to improve on our own part in things, to offer our best, and to soothe our own little corner of the world.

Relax, and try to channel the Aries Moon Void energy in a constructive but minor direction (which may incline us to poke at things randomly, like a Warrior without energy or cause) until 1:53 PM PDT when the Moon enters Taurus. As usual nowadays, it starts with an aspect to Neptune, a sextile, making us just a little deluded about the material situation and possibly about our own assets. It’s easy to think something, a talent or a thing, belongs to us when it really doesn’t. Vet all claims against previous experience before shouting from the rooftops, “Look what I can do!”

We may don our most natty fighting gear with the Moon in Aries. Wahlen 1843 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 5:30 AM PDT the Moon sextiles Pallas; this may feel like we’re suiting up for a fight, but in a good way :)

8 AM Pacific the Aries Moon squares Mercury–now we know what we were putting on armor for! Expect a quarrel (or even a p*ssing contest) over who cares more, who gives more, who sacrifices more–and this should let us know exactly who sees guilt as a handy tool.

4 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Vesta, grounding our emotions in our highest values and in our home life and committed, intimate relationships–should be a nice feeling that allows us to put down the Aries Warrior garb for a few minutes and get our emotions on straight (to mangle a certain saying!)

View of Donner Lake by Bierstadt pre-1902 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 4 PM PDT the Moon trines the North Node in Fire, lighting up the emotional consequences of the life direction; suddenly we see where we’re headed, for better or worse :)

It’s a slow day, Lunar-ly speaking.

Subscribers, sorry, will get the June issue out TODAY!!

1:30 PM PDT and the Moon opposes Saturn; either we put on the brakes ourselves, or someone does it for us. Saturn is virtually at a standstill in prep for direction on June 12th, making it feel like we’re hitting a brick wall. The intuition can’t seem to get around it, and the emotional perceptions feel frustrated by the unfeeling nature of the Saturnian block: rules, time, authority, all just exist, in this instance, and we are lucky if we realize that the way out is to follow the Will. That’s rarely an appropriate answer, but this time, it works.

Subscribers, I hope to have a new issue out to you by tomorrow evening Pacific time, and it will include the forecast and eclipse info for June~
