Dou pre-1665 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 1 PM PDT the Cancer Moon opposes Pluto, bringing us face-to-face with the Underworld. Consider what we see ‘out there’ is telling us what may come forth from ‘in here,’ and need to be dealt with; as long as we deny our darkness, we will summon it into our reality.

6 PM PDT the Moon squares Juno and trines Vesta, making us feel like we’re contradicting ourselves: empowerment options are not working out, even as we are aware that we are honoring all that’s most important to us. Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that if we have the ‘right’ attitude, everything will fall into place; the fact is, it does, it’s just that sometimes what aligns is not what we want–and that’s where we get confused, equating alignment with manifestation of our own Will. Call this a ‘modesty making aspect’–because we will receive a dose of humility during this process.

A quincunx of the Moon to the North Node just after 2 AM PDT makes for a point where the current emotional perceptions meet future ones–should be at least disorienting, at most revelatory–and if you’re asleep at this time, place close tabs on your dreams–they’re worth dissecting at this time.

Final aspect for our Cancer Moon comes at 12 PM PDT with a trine to Ceres in Water, at 29 degrees. This may be the boiling (or evaporating!) point for our emotional journey post-eclipse. It’s a wave–and we ride it, rise above it, or get swamped–reading this, you probably have a sense of which it will be for you, so prepare.

We may feel engulfed in emotion today. 'The Siren' by Waterhouse c.1900 {{PD-Art}}

The Void begins at 7:01 AM PDT of the 30th. The Moon enters Cancer at 9:13 AM PDT, and of course trines Watery Neptune. The atmosphere may be overwhelmingly emotional; expect to cry at the drop of a hat. Avoid puppies, babies, and old lovers if you want to keep your composure

5 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Jupiter, squares Uranus, and trines Chiron. Considering the way tears will have (at least figuratively) been near-spilling from our sad, clown-in-a-velvet painting eyes all day, this influence may send us over the top in so many ways. There’s the potential for exaggeration of everything we’re feeling, a lashing out or emotionally charged rebellion against anything (especially a faceless ‘group’) that thwarts us, and it’s oh-so-easy to feel hurt. This period carries all the hazards of floodwaters: we can get swept away, see foundations washed from beneath us, and see our aspirations (and relationships) drowned right before our eyes. Take care. There will be a handful (probably very Airy types) who will seem to float above it all–good for you! Just take care that you don’t miss some huge emotional revelations or emotionally telling moments, as all this feeling can give us some rare and lovely opportunities to connect.

11 AM PDT the Moon trines Chiron; it’s easy to feel hurt, but also easy to summon a healing emotional state–your choice (and you know which one I recommend ) By 1 PM the Moon opposes Pluto. Our response to this may involve both our previous choices concerning Chiron, and the situation of current transiting Pluto in our natal chart; we may embrace the destructive as the quickest way to arrive at a clean slate, but this would be an approach that throws the baby out with the bathwater and leaves us exhausted. If we have chosen a more positive route, this aspect musters transformative energy to our bidding–though we may not be able to accept the responsibility, and could project, pulling in the Pluto effect from without. This is often the way we face Pluto, as if it’s an unavoidable circumstance, accident, trauma, or perpetration of another–sometimes that’s the only way we can deal with it.
