'Sunset by the Sea, Brittany' by Puigaudeau pre-1930 {{PD-Art}}

For Saturday 3 March:

Just before 8 AM Pacific time, the Cancer Moon sextiles the Mars/ Earth conjunction and so of course trines the Sun. Luna in Cancer loves the Pisces Sun energy, and generously lights the way for today via the emotions and intuitions, telling us exactly what steps to take (as Mars himself is not capable at this point, while retro).

By 9:30 AM PST the Moon squares Zeus; what happened to all that sunshine-y, go get ‘um energy? It got hung up on the ambition picture, on going after what we want, rather than just enjoying the day and everyone in it. Sometimes a non-ambitious approach is a better vehicle to get you where you want to go, as the response to the sunny, open disposition will certainly be more positive than the one to the person who comes in with clipboard in hand, handing out copies of their personal agenda.

And for Sunday the 4th:

By 11:30 AM PST the Moon forms a T-square with Saturn opposed Venus, laying out all our emotional issues surrounding want v. need, have v. have not, and indulgence v. restriction–and what issues they are. Expect some surprising things to come to light, both about ourselves and others, concerning beliefs on having, on plenty, and (for many) the deeply ingrained moral implications of these. Many of these beliefs are things we are not conscious of, but they are things that guide many of our decisions from their place deep in the unconscious cave. It’s a chance to discover a little more about who we are, and to modify that to a belief system we find more appropriate (or more flattering! It’s Venus, after all!)

For the 4th:

3:30 AM PST the Cancer Moon trines Chiron and sextiles Jupiter. Feeling gets big, and the only question is whether we’ll choose love, let it envelope us, and achieve significant healing, or whether we’ll choose anti-love, and wound or be wounded. This may involve the social sphere, but will definitely involve our issues with nurture and sustenance. Could bring up episodes for binge eaters, anorexics, and others who ask food to stand in for relatives (I’m not getting judge-y, here–let’s face it, almost every one of us has some issue with food–I can’t think of anyone I’ve ever known who doesn’t!) This will just be a difficult transit, in some respect, large or small, for everyone. And sleepers, watch your dreams for love and nurture issue content.

7:30 AM PST the Moon squares Ceres. Allergic reactions, and not just to the environment or food; difficult feelings about authority figures, Mom, and our relationship to nature all come forward. This is all-of-a-piece with the previous Chiron/ Jupiter upset. Should pinpoint for us those things we typically successfully repress or deny in our Ceres interactions that is really festering and should be attended to.

And for the 5th:

3 PM PST sees the Moon at the midpoint of Sedna and Mars–that’s like being caught at the crossroads of ‘I don’t know’ Lane and ‘Hurry the Hell Up!’ Boulevard. The emotions are likely in such conflict (and conflict we cannot sort out or even identify the source of) that we are likely to experience all manner of disruption of anything that involves the emotions or that requires decisive action. Oy.

Midnight the Moon trines Venus. Finally some relief, though for Air-types things may get a little cloying, and for Earth-types a little muddy, all in the course of dealing with a wave of emotional expression that for everyone should let off some pressure. Thank goodness.

Cancer Full Moon at 11:29 PM Pacific time on January 8th at 18 Cancer 25

The only aspect is a quincunx to Pallas. Without other significant input, this Full Moon may bring its great, shining luminosity to bear on that single relationship, exaggerating what should be a call to adjustment until it feels like a full-blown emergency centered on our ability to exercise good judgment. The Sabian may help: ‘A Priest Performing a Marriage Ceremony’ We have few bigger points in life at which we must exercise good judgment than the one(s) at which we choose the life partner; the question then becomes (for I’m assuming that for the vast majority of us, this is not literal) to what am I marrying myself, that I should perhaps understand more about? The fact that the aspect of Moon/ Earth to Pallas is a quincunx alerts us to the need for adjustment or modification, so that when we see the Sabian we know that there is a union in the offing that needs, in some important way, to be altered (no church pun intended!)

Look to the House in the natal chart where the Full Moon falls for clues as to the life arenas where you are merging with something that definitely needs your attention; the promise is that you will find something that needs correction or modification–and that this will likely bring the ‘wedding’ successfully to fulfillment.
