3 AM PDT the Cancer Moon and Jupiter form the arm of a T-square with Uranus-Zeus. Intuition or the feeling nature–likely in an exaggerated form–can inform us as to the correct direction to take between going our own way or cooperating in hopes of fulfilling ambitions. 11 AM PDT the Moon squares Vesta, bringing conflict between feeling and the state of the home, the mate, or a cause to which we’re dedicated. We might need to ask ourselves whether we care as much as we think we do; genuine affection would most likely translate as acceptance rather than upset. 3 PM PDT the Moon trines Saturn, making it easy to contain our affections and give them tangible forms (or clear boundaries). 5 PM PDT the Moon squares Ceres. We find our own concerns are not the same as those of authorities, maternal figures, or those with whom we are negotiating; a quick review of who needs what may be all it takes to straighten priorities out. 9 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Sedna. By caring we access a part of our psyche and sensibilities that is usually out of range–enjoy the insight.

Today’s image is two small birds scuffling in the sky over territory. Most upset is over inconsequentials; make a point today to skirmish only over what really matters, Big Picture.

1 PM PST of the 10th the Moon sextiles Pallas. Wisdom is ours, if we’ll just make the effort. 5 PM PST the Moon squares Uranus. Are we surprised by what seems to come out of the blue, or did we have a hint about this, if we look back on the actions of those involved? (Cardinal placements) 9 PM PST the Moon conjuncts Jupiter, trines Chiron, and opposes Pluto. Whatever happens, in our own minds it will be vastly exaggerated; that said, permanent hurt or healing may occur. Intention rooted in how much you care (Cancer Moon) will be everything, at this point.

5 AM PST of the 11th the Cancer Moon opposes Venus. This may bring a reassessment of feeling or of actual relationships themselves; we care but find our feelings hitting a figurative brick wall. Don’t make any decisions at this point–instead realize that you’re too sensitive right now to keep reasonable perspective. 7 AM PST the Moon squares Zeus. Ambitions kick into high gear, and we may feel that our emotional attachments are holding us back. This would be incorrect; what we’re feeling is the artificial or exaggerated nature of our wants, as we measure the truth of our emotions against anything that’s not real or reasonable in our goals. It can be unpleasant, but without losing our illusions we won’t be able to get where we want to go. 1 PM PST the Moon trines Juno and the two form a loose Grand Trine with Saturn. Empowerment takes material form; it shows either in circumstances or in who owns/ controls what, who has say over our surroundings. Take a good look around: what you get is a rare glimpse into who’s really running things, from the ground up.

Cancer Full Moon 15 January 2014 at 25 Cancer 58 at 8:52 PM PST: Caring for Power

The Sabian is, ‘Guests Are Reading In The Library Of A Luxurious Home’ This suggests a few things: that we are in the midst of learning something or being informed by what’s going on—pay attention; that our circumstances are really very good, and that we may have downplayed them or may be unappreciative; and that we are currently lacking in a conscious awareness that we are, in a way, guests here on Earth, with all the temporary enjoyment, responsibilities, and need for good conduct being a guest entails. The Sun, which we always look to as a source of Moon-light, is, ‘A Nature Spirit Dancing In The Iridescent Mist Of A Waterfall’ Ahh, Ceres again! With the Full Moon we are being given a chance to experience our own spirits as part of Nature, guests on the Earth, enjoying the beauty and sustenance of a cool mist (for who has been in the lee of a waterfall and not felt replenished by Mother Earth?) and it is only our preoccupation with the material and the spiritually insignificant that keeps us from thoroughly experiencing it as our daily reality. That may be at the heart of the FM revelations—that power we will end up caring for will, for most of us, center in the experience of being alive and fully appreciative of this, though for a few, it will be all about worldly power—when you encounter one of them, just step aside, and go on your way.

‘Puck and Fairies from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream” Joseph Noel Paton c1850 {{PD-Art}}

From the current issue of ECLIPSE:

28 September our dreams or delusions may be challenged by the social sphere or by our own need to expand or reach out; either way, we may end up defending those Neptunian constructs, but before you do, ask yourself if it might not be better to just let them go–it comes down to whether you are truly benefiting from them, or whether they are running on sheer Willpower or ego–if the latter, let them go and move on. The most positive thing we can do will be to think about how ‘natural’ that dream is to our sense of who we are.

The Moon’s Void begins at 12:32 AM of the 29th; the Moon enters Leo at 12:58 AM PDT. And at 8 PM PDT of the 29th the Moon conjuncts Pallas, squares Saturn, trines Uranus, and forms the apex (with Pallas) to a Finger of God with base of Pluto-Chiron. This is about recognizing reality and being responsive enough to it (through innovation, originality, or spontaneity) to make healing changes that are both smart and emotionally empowering; these changes might also open the intuitive channels and ‘let the signal through’. A huge opportunity to ‘tune in’ and get a lot right.

This weekend it may be the strongest, most powerful people who will weep the most. ‘The Lament for Icarus’ HJ Draper 1898 {{PD-Art}}

From the just-out issue of ECLIPSE:

30 August Mercury in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Cancer–and despite the flow of a sextile what we find is some aggravation and overly critical interaction, as a too-sensitive social sphere or power-figure overreacts to communications that are bald facts stripped of niceties. If this were a bad science fiction movie, it might be Robot Accountants vs. the Crybaby-gods (or maybe those are dueling gangs involved in a dance-off, à la West Side Story). In any scenario, individuals and groups may split off into cold, calculating (and maybe just a little sadistic) truth-tellers (or perhaps fact-flingers) on one side and powerful but totally playing the tender feelings/ vulnerable ego card on the other. Just be aware, both are attempts to run the show–winners wait for the Moon to shift from Gemini into Cancer (4:33 AM PDT), then use Luna’s sextile to Ceres in Virgo, which also captures Mars at the midpoint, to act from a secure position of appropriate power expression–no need to try to wring blood from a stone, as those identifying with Jupiter will do, or to punish with the unvarnished reality of ‘What Is’, as those identifying with Mercury will.

29 August we may be up to our necks in earthly matters, and yet trying very hard to look the other way, in some sense, or to avoid stepping on figurative toes. It’s an odd day; there’s so much to attend to of physical importance, but we will be shy of others, overly sensitive, anticipating they will be sensitive–and even taking great care we may set someone off, anyway. Communications are doomed and originality will only bring criticism, but anything that requires you to build, that takes structure and hard work, will do very well–put your attentions there. (Venus semi-square Ceres, Mercury opposed Chiron, quincunx Uranus, Sun quincunx Juno, sextile Saturn, Earth trine Saturn)

Cancer New Moon 8 July 2013: ‘Nurturing New Worlds’

New Moon in Cancer 8 July 2013 at 12:14 AM PDT at 16 Cancer 17

The Cancer New Moon is conjunct Mercury, which is moving backward in preparation for Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on the 9th, is square to hZeus, trines the North Node, quincunxes Juno, and trines Chiron, which with Moon-Sun and NN outlines a Grand Water Trine that will very much influence the unseen, felt portions of our lives. The meeting of Sun and Moon each month pinpoints a time of germination, new beginnings and ‘fresh’ energy dedicated to the sign in which this occurs; with Cancer this suggests that beginnings arise out of how much we care, out of our desire to nurture, out of emotional plenty or ‘starvation’, out of a ‘new’ or ‘gut’ feeling, or out of intuitive knowledge, and with this latter we may or may not be conscious of what motivates us.

So, we are moved to foster something–but what? This time, we may be preoccupied (even obsessed) with some idea or thought that arose pre-Merc retro, and this seems to us to need nurture, as well as tweaking so that it delivers maximum empowerment and irons out any wrinkles related to our ambition and desire scenario–perfect for Merc retro, right?–and this all feels very important, as we are aware of how expressive this idea is of our desired life Path, and that fulfillment of this could (we believe) lead to significant healing of old wounds. How truly viable is the idea? we may ask–and the answer is, if it relates to subjects of the House where the New Moon falls, then it is not just viable, but has already germinated–and now we must give it proper conditions so that it can flourish.

Even if the idea doesn’t begin to grow (if we find, for instance, that our idea really isn’t ready, or upon reflection doesn’t carry the promise it once did), there will be something new that emerges from the House where the New Moon sits; it’s just that it won’t be that idea we’ve been kicking around and considering, but instead will be a new idea or opportunity–and with this, we must take care, allowing it to develop through the Merc retro, after which we should begin to assess and plan in earnest, with our ‘expected delivery date’ the point of Superior Conjunction, 24 August.

A little Lunar something from ECLIPSE for today, the 11th:

Noon Pacific time the Cancer Moon conjuncts Ceres; brace for an emotional encounter with Mother Nature, an infusion of personal power, authority, or maternal feeling, or an intuitive clarity in how to proceed in negotiation. Void begins 12:47 PM PDT of the 11th; the Moon enters Leo at 9:58 PM PDT.

And the aspect outlook for the 12th:

12 June You’ll notice that Venus’ foray to complete a T-square with Pluto-Uranus is not exact; she hits one, then she hits the other, which is understandable–but I’m guessing that it’s only when she has hit the body in higher zodiacal longitude that the whole picture of the T falls together. The dynamic may be this: being ourselves doesn’t pay, but neither does releasing personal standards and grabbing for bald power. We may be left with an unsolvable dilemma: money and especially Love do not seem compatible with our power needs or expressions, and yet, being more inventive, innovative, original, and stretching the intellect also fails to mesh with our relationship or financial needs. And this is part of the point: we feel that we need that income, or that love, so that simply sitting back and refusing to engage in the power plays and attempts to outwit what’s holding us back is not an option. The answer is cryptic, but full of possibility: information or a message, either from the past, or from the future, will tell us what we need to know. (Venus square Uranus, Mercury trine the North Node)

From ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest: 11 May Mercury and the Sun meet in Superior Conjunction, and both conjunct Pallas–let’s call it a ‘Wisdom Bomb’! Not that it blows anything up, though there is the chance that we’ll get rid of any ingrained stupidity we’ve been holding on to as a nostalgic contrivance, a habit, or a ‘really bad decision’ we felt we couldn’t go back on–until now. Today lets us see how foolish so much of what we fuss about really is, and it shows us ways we can streamline, improve, and advance our lives–and it’s up to us to use what we learn–merely receiving the message isn’t enough.

On the 12th, the Void begins at 6:34 AM PDT; the Moon enters Cancer at 2:57 AM PDT of the 13th.  Though there are lots more details in ECLIPSE, this is what we need to know: we just can’t plan on anything going as we anticipate it will. Going in knowing that will make us more alert, more cautious, and perhaps coach us to put off meaningful choices (and especially meaningful talk) for another time–which would be a very good idea.

The Forecast for the Sun’s Entry Into Aries 20 March 2013: ‘ A Build-Up, A Bellwether’

Aries in female form: 'Queen Boudicea' by John Opie Several depictions of Boudicea showed her "haranguing" her troops; would they say that if she were a man? I think not.

Aries in female form: ‘Queen Boudicea’ by John Opie Several depictions of Boudicea showed her “haranguing” her troops; would they say that if she were a man? I think not.

The forecast for tomorrow, as the Sun enters the sign of Aries, as presented in ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest:

20 March The Sun enters Aries, pulling our attention to the Self, aggression, anger, and the need to act. It’s almost spring, and the juices are flowing–no more of that relaxed, drifting, daydreaming Pisces for you and me! No sir. The Sun’s entry into Aries starts, of course, at the much-lauded Aries Point–so today may be a kind of bellwether for the coming Solar year. Note the tone, note the positives, note the negatives–and look for them as a running theme or subtext through to next first day of Sun in Aries.

Our take on reality, meanwhile, is at odds with that of those in authority, or with nature itself, or requires some serious negotiation before things shake out into an acceptable state. We can either bash our own heads against barriers, walls, and other impediments, or we can modify our idea of what is to accommodate what we feel should be. Wounds come from ignoring what we know to be wise; though it may be tempting, don’t blow off what’s smart to indulge the urge to act out or act up. (Sun into Aries/ Earth into Libra, Saturn sesquiquadrate Ceres, Chiron semi-square Pallas)

2 AM PDT the Cancer Moon squares Uranus; that building Aries energy brings out the practical joker, the panicker, the rebel without a cause, the know-it-all, and the person who just wants to be left alone, and keeps interrupting you to let you know. Erratic behavior is the norm right now; try not to react. 8 AM PDT the Moon creates a Grand Trine with Chiron and Saturn. Overwhelming emotionalism arising out of hurt may make for a feeling that we’re confined in a watery grave–but know that the trapped feeling falls away when we are willing to let go of emotional immersion as a way of being. It may feel ‘more alive’, to some, but is really just a mechanism that keeps us from moving forward, so waterlogged are we by feeling and sensation. 10 AM PDT of the 20th the Moon opposes Pluto. If we haven’t lap-pooled our way out of the emotional morass that the Grand Trine invited us into, this will be the wake-up call that tells us we are way out over the deep end, with no ladder in sight. If we managed to stay cake-free and dried, as Shel Silverstein once said, we will at this point find that we are either dealing with another’s Plutonian energy (or, as we sometimes call it, an assault), or we will be dealing with our own Plutonian urges and their emotional consequences. Stay calm and take your time, in dealing with either situation. 6 PM PDT the Moon squares hZeus, showing us the emotional downside to getting what we want. Midnight the Moon trines the North Node and semi-sextiles Vesta. This offers a point of emotional alignment with our goals and values, and could call for slight course correction.
