‘Dream’ by Joan Brull 1905 {{PD-Art}}

I felt like it was important to share most of the forecast for today; normally, you can get the whole thing, plus articles and more, by subscribing to ECLIPSE

February 20th has one big whammy: the Sun conjuncts Neptune. This is our once-yearly tune-up to our Neptunian nature (though we all have a personal one when the t Sun hits our natal Neptune). Here we get a good measure of how well our surroundings are connected to reality, how truly creative is our environment, and in what ways we may have been mislead, deceived, or otherwise fed a fantasy–and we should take it all with gratitude, as we are seeing in stark clarity ways in which our Neptune may be much better employed in the coming year. Since this occurs in Pisces, we should be cognizant of the way in which creativity is having a kind of Soul-centered Renaissance on both an individual and a Collective level; creative activity has never been greater or more effectively used to convey the dreamed of, the ineffable, and what has only been felt, until now. Make sure there’s an active place for your creative urge in your life–and a creative goal for the month of the Sun in Pisces would be especially productive and apt in conveying the imagined into reality. A sad few might accept a total lie as their reality at this time–but I know that won’t be you.

3 PM PST the Moon squares Uranus, showing us where we need to ‘break loose’ or where we are too much of a loose cannon as it is! One way or another we must face a Uranian imbalance. 7 PM PST the Moon trines Chiron, making us easily hurt, or easily healed, your choice. This kicks off a Grand Trine with Saturn that addresses how truly hurtful the reality situation really is, and what skills to use to change things for the better. 11 PM PST the Moon opposes Pluto. We are either appalled by someone else’s Plutonian display, or we are acting Pluto ourselves, and shocking someone else. In either case, we are disowning something, the fact that we all contain that core rage, destruction, and incredible transformative power, or that we are sensitive beyond measure to what’s around right now (Moon in Cancer). Allowing both perceptions to be part of the Self-image is the healthiest choice.

For 23 January The Gemini Moon Void begins at 3:44 AM Pacific (with the Moon pulling away from Mars, as last major aspect); the Moon enters Cancer at 7 PM precisely! With the Void lasting a considerable span of time, we should all be prepared for unexpected outcomes and to hold back on starting anything new until the Moon enters Cancer.

For all the details, please subscribe! Thank you. To let everyone know: I have NOT made any videos–some new ones were found purporting to be by me–they are not. Please don’t get yourself a virus out of curiosity! And unless we have actually interacted at a business level, please don’t ask to connect on LinkedIn–I don’t connect with anyone I don’t know in some regard, as I feel linking is in some ways a quasi-endorsement–I’m just not at ease connecting to someone I don’t know at all, especially when they bill themselves as an astrologer.

December 29th Mercury squares Pallas, making for a grand case of ‘foot in mouth’ disease that will plague even the most innocent of utterances–shhh! The Sun quincunxes Jupiter, highlighting our gaffes and making social awkwardness inescapable. If you can work on your own today, you might really want to.

2:30 PM PST  the Cancer Moon quincunxes Mercury (like we need more proof there’s a problem!) and fills in, if we are okay with it, a Grand Trine with Pallas and the North Node. This suggests that out of all this mis- and disastrous communication comes some wise feeling and a plan for the future. Good!

Void begins 7:27 PM PST; the Moon enters Leo at 11:46 PM PST.

Remember, just convert times given to your time zone; in this case, for instance, the Void begins at 10:27 Eastern–same moment, different numbers.

On the Sabian for the Full Moon of 28 December 2012 2:20 AM PST at 7 Cancer 05 ‘The Animal Nature’

The Sabian for the Full Moon is, ‘A Group of Rabbits Dressed In Human Clothes Walk As If On Parade’ This may speak of a general circumstance that has been revealed for what it truly is by the Full Moon, specifically of elements of the animal nature that ‘play’ to sophistication and a ‘civilized’ display but that are shown, indeed, to be in reality the instinctive, animal nature, contained and garbed as if it is something it’s not. This may hint at the primal depths that we may touch at this time, and may serve to re-connect us with both our instincts and the ways we can successfully contain and use these in social interaction. We come out the ‘other side’ of this Full Moon both significantly healed and significantly enlightened as to our own depths, with a ‘new’ and more advanced way of dealing with hurt, strife, and sadness.

Just a Little AstroEssence for Your Weekend 30 November-2 December 2012: ‘Slightly Too Sentimental’

Relax this weekend, Kittens! 'Kitten's Play' by Ronner-Knip c1870 {{PD-Art}}

Relax this weekend, Kittens! ‘Kitten’s Play’ by Ronner-Knip c1870 {{PD-Art}}

A little something for Friday the 30th, Pacific time:

2 PM PST the Cancer Moon squares Uranus, showing us some dissonance arising from our own too rebellious or individualistic nature or seated in a disagreement with the group. Instinct is pushing us in this direction, but higher reason (a Uranian specialty) should tell us that there can be too much of a good thing. Pull back and gain. 4 PM PST the Moon trines Chiron and Saturn, forming a Grand Water Trine. At this point emotional perceptions, reality, and skills combine and intuit a ‘better way to be’ in the world. A lovely time of balance and discrete adjustment.

Saturday, we welcome December:

Just after midnight Luna  opposes Pluto and then quincunxes the Sun. This may shine a light on a harsh reality, or could find us saying, “I would never!” First, never say never isn’t just for James Bond–we non-spies need to remember that disowning darkness or that which repels us invites that very thing into our lives. In this instance our reaction is an emotional one that is probably rooted in a slightly too sentimental view of the world (Cancer), and can be tamed by simply remembering that we are capable of (but choose not to perpetrate) darkness.

And for Sunday, the 2nd:

The Sun opposes Jupiter, and so the Earth conjuncts it. This marks the midpoint of Jupiter’s retrograde cycle, and may be felt as a turning point in Jupiter-related matters; what was withdrawn or exploded (including overblown expectations!) upon our favorite gas giant’s retrograde will re-awaken, we’ll receive an encouraging word, or we may see developments that point to an inevitable, if delayed, return to similar conditions that existed at the outset. Not usually a big effect, but one that can signal both changes and a change in attitude that can assist us, especially on the social front.

Here’s a tid-bit from the current ECLIPSE; order now for all the latest!

9 PM PDT of the 10th the Cancer Moon trines Earth in Pisces, followed by a sextile of Moon to Mercury in Virgo. We have a unique window in which to ‘sense’ material matters and then successfully bring them to the conscious mentality. This offers an excellent point at which to understand what is surrounding us and why, and to bring it fully into the mind, with nothing obscured or left out. We can be sure of what we perceive, if we are open to the Truth of our reality.

Just a Little Astro Essence for Today 17 July 2012: ‘Wait for It’

‘Waiting for the Bridge’ Zeeland Bridge, Netherlands 1986 generously released into the public domain by BenTheWikiMan via Wikimedia Commons

7:30 AM PDT of the 17th the Cancer Moon creates a Grand Cross with opposition to Pluto and squares to Mars and Uranus. We see large, Archetypal energies in a bold pattern, and what it tells us is that the emotional perceptions may be challenged by three alternatives, none of which is a good choice! One direction will cause a release of destructive energies, one will have us put the ego first (in detriment to all other considerations), and the third may ask us to subsume the individuality to the group. What should we do? The first thing is to recognize the transience of this emotional challenge; it arrives no sooner than 3AM and is over by noon Pacific time, so not acting on this may be our biggest priority. Second, once the Moon moves on, the T-square with arm of Pluto will still be in place; now perhaps it’s time to look at the Cardinal energies for the punch they may be packing at this time.

Of course, Cardinal energies urge us to ‘do’, and we know this just isn’t a good time for that; at this point, we may feel a great deal of frustration, as this rather threatening scenario has been more or less in place for a long time. We are tired of the threat of loss and destruction, tired of the threat to our autonomy from the group, tired of the aggression of others threatening our ability to create and express through the individuality. It’s an exhausting dynamic, but we can actually get off the merry-go-round for a bit, with just this thought: it’s not the right time to act, so we don’t even have to entertain these energies for a while. Period.

Just a Little Astro Essence for 24 May 2012: ‘An Accurate Map’

The Vinland Map, purportedly a 15th century copy of a 13th century original of the known world, is believed by most scholars to be a 20th century fake. Black ink on animal skin parchment {{PD}}

From ECLIPSE:

The 24th sees Merc enter Gemini. Finally our thinking has a chance to synch up with where our attention is going (the Sun). That’s a relief!

By about 2 AM PDT the Moon has moseyed to the midpoint of Mars/ Vesta–and that gives us an excellent vantage point for choosing what actions to take, as what we plan is likely to be in line with our highest values and priorities (and if you find yourself surprised by what you choose, a review of real priorities might be in order, as it’s much easier to get from A to B when we know where we are–nobody’s ever found their goal by following the road that leads from where they think they are to where they want to go!)

Your Weekend 28-29 April 2012: ‘The Echo Effect’

'Echo' by Cabanel 1874 {{PD-Art}}

From ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest:

For the 28th Mercury opposes Zeus and the Sun sextiles Chiron.  That ‘echo effect’ may cause some obstinate insistence that we get what we want–it’s almost like we want to hurt ourselves by overreaching and talking trash! Just proceed carefully–messages may seem to deny our aspirations, but the operative word is ‘seems’. We shouldn’t react to what we hear today–it’s almost like it’s meant to poke us in the eye, and send us off in the wrong direction! Stay level-headed and calm, and don’t look for injury when none was intended.

And for the 29th:

A 1 PM PDT trine of the Moon to Mercury in Fire says the words may flow, with ‘heated discussions’, inflammatory opinions, and ‘take no prisoners’ ‘honesty’ on the menu. A concurrent sextile of Moon to Zeus suggests that what’s really on our minds is getting what we want, or fulfilling ambitions–keeping this in mind, as the ‘back story’ to everything communicated right now, will go a long way toward explaining motives and true intents. Just remember, yours will show, too.

Dear Subscribers, you’ll note that the Moon moves into Leo, AM Pacific time on Saturday, and that I neglected in the Weekly to say just which sign it would enter (though I guess we can assume it will be the one following Cancer 😉 )

And if you’re looking this over and it’s still Friday (or your local equivalent), please see the Lunar notes for this day, below.

A 5:30 PM Pacific time sextile of the Moon to Sedna may knock us off our game–at the very least, it delivers a few foggy hours.  9:30 PM PDT the Moon trines Pallas; the fog wears off and we see what’s wise. 11:30 PM PDT the Moon squares Saturn–if we don’t put a lid on it now, someone else might! This may cause an ‘echo effect’ that carries over into the next day; we may rebel at containment, and immediately adopt a contrary (i.e. Uranian) attitude. This also kicks off a T-square involving the Moon as the arm of the Saturn/ Vesta opposition; this pushes rebellion in the direction of irreverence and the potential for disrespecting both tradition and our own highest values.
