The Essence for the Weekend 19-21 August 2011: Be the Rock

Moon in Gemini, Moon in Taurus, My Daily Astrology Diary, My Weekend Astro Diary, The Astro Essence

Weber c.1899 {{PD-Art}}

The 19th

11:30 PM PDT the Taurus Moon squares Vesta, requiring we measure our feelings against those things we hold sacred; if we’re not respecting what’s most important to us, we’ll be made aware of it now.

The 20th

10 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes the North Node; we are either re-vamping our plans or berating ourselves for not making a better effort. Remember, a willingness to adjust our current position is the key to using, rather than bemoaning, a quincunx. At the same time, the Moon makes a square to still-retrograde Merc. This will probably cause us to second-guess ourselves, and we may wonder, are our feelings right, or are our thoughts correct, in reading the current situation? The answer is: neither, with the best approach one that lets go of any need to define circumstances.

The 21st

4 AM PDT the Moon conjuncts Sedna, and we undergo a period when we’re emotionally unmoored; just let it happen. Be the rock and let the water of time flow over you–the feeling of just not knowing will pass.

Today also sees the formation of a Fist of God with a base of Mars/ h.Zeus and an apex of Neptune. The scenario is of the need to act on the almost primal desires of h.Zeus–and if we do, a stressful Neptunian situation is the result (and note that stressful is not negative, but rather denotes tension that could be negative or could be excitement). We could institute a dream, get lost in a delusion, connect to the Collective, or receive tremendous inspiration to the Higher Mind–IF we act on that ambition or desire impulse. The nature of the impulse determines the nature of the Neptunian response–it’s really that simple.

The Essence for 27 July 2011: A Sensitive Moondance

26 Tuesday Jul 2011

Juno, Moon in Gemini, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Mantegna 15th century {{PD-Art}}

4 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Mercury (with Venus at the midpoint) and squares Juno. The picture becomes one of tense communications over relationships or finances, with the goal of empowering ourselves. Tip-toe at this time; we (and everyone else on the planet!) could be drastically over-sensitive, hair-trigger crabby, and a wee bit Self-destructive, with so much tension in the Gemini Lunar Air.

The Moon/ Juno aspect never perfects (which might promise not a single empowerment urge fulfilled); Juno slips out of her 29 degree 59 minute position into Libra–you can almost hear her sigh with relief (or at least, with the feeling that she might have some fun and get a little support from a partner), can’t you? Juno changes sign at 4:33 PM PDT, meaning that the Moon goes from having a potential aspect with the Queen of Olympus to having only a conversation with Mercury as they bounce Venus between them (and they’re tense and too rough with her, really).

Void begins at 5:37 PM PDT, with the Moon entering Cancer at 6:11 PM PDT.

The Essence for 26 July 2011: Mind in Disguise

Moon in Gemini, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Hunt 1852 {{PD-Art}}

2 PM PDT the Moon trines Vesta; the emotional atmosphere is highly supportive of making choices according to our highest values, of respecting the home front and of our most intimate relationships. Embrace the opportunity (for that’s what it is!) to follow the emotional and intuitive prompts at this time, for they will take us in the right direction. Watch, though, that the mind doesn’t insert itself in the sheep’s clothing of an intuition or feeling; with Moon in Gemini, this is a real possibility.

Subscribers, there’s a little something about Juno’s move into Libra on the protected page–and if you’re not a subscriber, please join us! Order here~Thanks! And if it’s Juno you want to know more about, see a description of my book and order here on the Press page–just scroll down

The Essence for 25 July 2011: Material Empowerment, Material Needs

Moon in Gemini, Moon in Taurus, My Daily Astrology Diary, Mystic Rectangle, The Astro Essence

Degas 1876-1878 {{PD-Art}}

The Sun moves in and forms a loose Mystic Rectangle with an out-of-sign sextile to Juno, trine Earth (and possibly Pallas, if you’re feeling generous), sextile Ceres (and Uranus, again, if we say so!) This draws a window for smart, positive, and unique empowerment options tailored to the individual and the individual’s material needs. Do focus on what circumstances, equipment, and possessions you need to truly empower yourself (and by empower yourself, I mean whatever you need to effectively assert yourself and make your unique, productive contribution). What’s both appropriate and true to who you are can be manifested at this time.

7:30 AM PDT the Moon trines Juno where she sits in the 29th degree of Virgo. I must say, Juno’s passage through Virgo has inclined her to be a tad touchy, a bit too critical, and a little demanding as she has expected an accounting from all around her–and yet we must thank her, for drawing our attention to the need for knowing where we stand, and of just what our assets and options really consist. At this time it’s a crisis situation: a last audit is being made, and with the Moon’s contact we will definitely have an emotional reaction to it. Don’t panic; just take notes :)

Moon in Gemini, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

There'll be an Anima with her eye on you today, and she won't be shy about staking out her territory. By Rincklake 1792 {{PD-Art}}

6:30 PM PDT the Moon squares Juno, and we may find ourselves in emotional conflict with an authority figure, specifically one who has a point to prove about her status, power, or position. Sidestep this anima (which can belong to a man or a woman) if possible; whatever you do, don’t try to talk your way around this upset, as ‘she’ will lay down the law, and perhaps dissect you in the process! The best approach might be to interact respectfully and give this Juno energy a wide berth.

8:30 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts the South Node; a trip down memory lane, talking about things we may have thought we’d forgotten, or words that ‘bring it all back’ are on the menu. You may want to indulge in something you haven’t done in a long time–it’s probably okay, though you may be just as happy only talking (or thinking, or even writing) about what was.

To see it all, subscribe! Buy today and receive the current issue with both June eclipses, and get the upcoming issue (available sometime Wednesday, Pacific time) that covers the final eclipse of the set on July 1st! Buttons at right–Thanks!

The Essence for 28 June 2011: Who’s Raining on Your Parade?

Moon in Gemini, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Bridgman 1902

Just before 8 PM PDT the Moon trines Saturn, and effectively creates a Grand Trine with Pallas in Aquarius. This offers a tremendously effective stabilizing influence, calming the mind and bringing the emotions ‘down to earth.’ This lasts through the evening, Pacific time, though around 11:30 PM PDT the Moon’s movement brings h.Zeus into the mix, and calls forward desires and ambitions–and either makes us feel they are truly within reach, or squashes them, and others (Saturn and h.Zeus in Libra) come forward to tell us how they just won’t fly. Take note of who’s raining on your parade, and then nurture that desire–your chances of fulfillment are as good as they ever were, but now you’re a little more solidly hooked to reality, making the path to realization that much easier to see.

To see it all, subscribe, buttons at right–thanks! New issue should be out no later than Wednesday, the 29th.

The Essence for 2 June 2011: Drawing Strength, Avoiding Pitfalls

Moon in Gemini, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

'Girl with a Hay Rake' Winslow Homer 1878 {{PD-Art}}

3 AM PDT sees the Moon trine Vesta; we are bolstered by home, by communion with those intimate to us, and by those things to which we’re dedicated. It’s as if we draw strength and support from our choices–a nice feeling, with an unusual direction of ‘flow.’ Just before 1 PM PDT the Moon makes a square to Ceres as she conjuncts the South Node. The big danger is that we will fall back to old ways of reacting to authorities, or to the challenges of nature. To use past methods of coping or of approaching problems (and dealing with authorities will feel like a problem) would be highly ineffective. We need to avoid knee-jerk responses, and draw on what we’ve learned from our history without feeling (and so reacting and thinking) like we’re children again.

The Essence for the Solar Eclipse of 1 June 2011: Making Manifest the Desire

31 Tuesday May 2011

Posted by juliedemboski in current events in the sky, eclipse, New Moon, Solar Eclipse

Moon in Gemini, My Daily Astrology Diary, New Moon, Solar Eclipse, Solar Eclipse June 2011, The Astro Essence

Thomas Cole 'The Architect's Dream' 1840 {{PD-Art}}

Solar eclipse occurs at 2:02 PM PDT at 11 Gemini 01. Using our usual 2 degree orb, we have only two aspects for this eclipse: trines to Saturn and h.Zeus. A Solar eclipse is, in a symbolic sense, a big, bright birth, where the intuition and emotional factor, for a short interval, blocks the Solar principle, which is all that’s open, conscious, and life-giving–but in the blocking is a symbolic absorption, and thus a powerful combination of the unconscious and intuitive with the conscious and worldly–and a new level of understanding is born.

With the Sun/ Moon conjunction we see a strong, positive relationship to time, constraint, form, reality, and what’s solid (Saturn) and we see the eclipse energy contacting the concepts of ambition and desire (h.Zeus)–this marries the ‘birth’ energy, ‘what is,’ and the push of goals and desires in a powerful three-way relationship, making for an eclipse that rides on a swell of highly perceptible and highly charged energy. In particular, the input of h.Zeus is one of desiring, asserting, and working to gain, and may be the ‘secret’ engine behind the Solar eclipse impetus.

We’ll bring into the reality only those things we’ve invested with a serious desire energy and in some sense released into the Collective. This is in part because 1) the h.Zeus involved is the transiting body, not the natal one, and 2) because an eclipse involves the current transiting Moon, symbol of the Collective unconscious and the emotion that is ‘stored’ in the Akashic Records (briefly, that’s an energy record of all that has ever been) where our ‘energy investment’ is recorded–and from which it will be manifested by the eclipse contact to Saturn. So, what comes must meet these conditions–and will be related directly to the natal House where the eclipse occurs.

The Sabian for the Solar Eclipse echoes what the planetary scheme already spelled out–with the important addition that this will occur in an area for each individual where we feel either at a disadvantage, or where we have been struggling for our personal independence, but where we are somewhat sophisticated. To begin something we’ve dreamed of, independent of others (or of previous restraints or restrictions), something we’ve been striving for and for which we’ve put energy, consciously or not, into the Collective–this is the essence of the Solar eclipse for June 2011 at a personal level.

To see the entire eclipse report, including the discussion of the Sabian symbol, subscribe–you’ve still got time (and two more eclipses after this one are on the way!!) Buttons at right, only $15 dollars for 3 months, or $25 for 6 months–Thank You, and Happy Eclipse!

The Essence for 31 May 2011: ‘Open Mind, Allow Input’

Moon in Gemini, Moon in Taurus, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

You'll do a lot better if you open that mental window Carl Holsoe c.1900 {{PD-Art}}

Moon conjuncts Mercury at 7:30 AM Pacific; in Taurus this might be both comforting (we are somehow reassured by our own thoughts, and by our material circumstances) and may encourage a kind of closed minded-ness–we are snug within our mental worlds, why leave, or let anything contrary in? The trick is to enjoy the comfort without wallowing in it; to close off our minds at this point, on the verge of a Void (beginning at 8:37 AM PDT), is to invite difficulties that come with a lack of tolerance, flexibility, and openness to change and the new. So try to stay open, best you can.

It’s a long Void; the Moon enters Gemini at 4:56 PM PDT. Of course, we have an immediate square to Neptune, which will play directly off the Void period–it can be rough territory, peopled with delusion, fantasy, and deception, if we did not manage the ‘open mind, allow input’ required previously. For those who did, this may put them back in touch strongly with a prior dream–suddenly it’s back on our minds, and we may begin to hatch a plan, or at least put it on the front burner (where we can get it cooking!) once again.

‘Dizzy Thorns’ is by Marcello of Podenza, Italy–Thank you, Marcello! {{PD-Art}} via Wikimedia Commons

6:30 AM PDT sees the Moon conjunct the South Node and sextile Jupiter, perhaps bringing the past social life back (oh facebook! How could you?) It’s either a nostalgic moment you want to share with others or like an acid flashback you can only ride out, waiting for the tortuous and vibrant re-living to be over–I guess a lot depends on how you view your past :)

The Void begins 1:14 PM PDT, with the Moon entering Cancer at 7:31 PM Pacific

Just a reminder: subscribers who received renewal notices this week (for subscriptions that expire 1-6 May) payment is due by today, the 6th, in order to receive tomorrow’s newsletter–Thanks!
