'Ariadne Watching the Struggle of Theseus With the Minotaur' by Henry Fuseli c1817 {{PD-Art}}

‘Ariadne Watching the Struggle of Theseus With the Minotaur’ by Henry Fuseli c1817 {{PD-Art}}

All the Lunar action this time around is contained within one quarter of the flat chart, between the NM in Pisces and its farthest aspect, a square to Ceres. This defines the activity as stressful, and possibly contentious, with the ‘new light’ of the Moon (a revelation, an idea, a new beginning) in conflict with Power and authority, with what up to now has been the ‘natural’ order, and the necessity of negotiation is obvious, indeed. Caught between the two we have Sedna in sextile the NM, and a semi-sextile from Pallas, which we normally wouldn’t count, except that it seems to comment so crisply on developments: we may be unaware of the depth of the power struggle that starts here; it likely plays on some deeply seated natural facets and long-ingrained beliefs about role and conduct (Sedna) that are at the heart of the conflict, though not obvious on the surface, and certainly about which we are likely unaware consciously (at least in terms of how they figure in to the power situation). Pallas tells us that it may be wise to allow this conflict to happen at this time–to smooth things out might push them down to fester for another day, not a good thing at all.

For the complete NM picture, plus lots more, please subscribe. I plan on taking the blog in a much more bloggy direction, with more commentary on current events and people, or general astrology, and less emphasis on bits of forecast or current astro ‘weather’, which is already available in the newsletter. This is a great ‘Wishin’ Moon’–grab a Pisces and maybe your dream will come true!

'Travelers on Horseback' Hiroshige early 19th century

‘Travelers on Horseback’ Hiroshige early 19th century

From ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest:

1 PM PST the Moon conjuncts Chiron, squares Jupiter, and just afterward sextiles Venus. We are hurt by something in the social circle, or in our attempts to expand our purview, at least at first–then we gain by our efforts some material reward or gesture of affection–it’s worth it to stop for a moment and realize that’s not always the result from being reactionary, and count our blessings. Just after 6 PM PST the Moon sextiles Pluto-Juno, then follows up with a square to Vesta and a trine to Saturn. We may feel very empowered emotionally, making for a real sense of confidence, especially concerning creativity and one’s place in the Collective or Cosmos. This causes problems though, by violating our highest values–we are likely to take confidence beyond reasonable Self-assertion and into officious territory–and this may cause others to put a stop to our progress. Proceed with care, to avoid someone throwing obstacles into your path.

Have a wonderful Monday!

Just a Little Lunar Essence 20 November 2012: ‘Prone to Neptune’

‘Portrait of a Young Woman Reclining’ Klimt c1897 {{PD-Art}}

The Moon enters Pisces at 8:55 AM PST.

Bang! The Moon conjuncts Neptune. If we are at all prone to delusion, confusion, giddiness, or, as they used to say, ‘the vapors’, we will be on our way to a full-blown experience! Immersion in our own most characteristic Neptune expression is a given, but caution and consciousness are our best approach to this most dazzling of influences, just so that we don’t marry when drunk, drive when legally blind, or accidentally (or not) down an anti-freeze cocktail (I’ve got true stories about all of those, though they didn’t happen to me!)–as well, we can connect in an extraordinary way with our ideals, with our creativity, with the Collective, and with spirit–and if we let ourselves go completely into this, we will come out the other side with some valuable understanding, new imaginative horizons, and perhaps a newly-directed empathy.

‘The Lesson’ Renoir 1906 {{PD-Art}}

In the 26th of October at 7 AM Pacific time brings the Moon opposed Venus and trine Mercury. If you’re thinking of making a purchase, make it now, and if you’re contracting for something, paying as little as possible is on the current agenda. If, however, you are negotiating to be paid in some form, or are hoping your words will fall sweetly on a loved one’s ear, think again–you will likely not be paid what you’re worth (or what you could get elsewhere) and your loved one may not be feeling the love behind the message.

October 27th features the Sun trine Chiron and Mars sextile Zeus. It’s a day for healing, and this might either apply to the restoration of some dream or desire that had in the past been damaged and upon which we can now act (the dream itself healed) or that by pursuing our ambitions and desires we may find this a healing action. The suggestion is that there is something within our ambitions that can correct our own misperception about ourselves, whether that misperception comes from external or internal feedback.

On the 28th at 11:30 AM PDT the Moon hits the midpoint of Pallas-Sedna, suggesting that our emotions and ‘intuitions’ may right now just be expressions of Will (Moon in Aries) and so not at all trustworthy. We won’t recognize wisdom at this point if we fall in a bucket of it–so chill and wait a few hours, then take the emotional temperature again.

‘Allegory of Modesty and Vanity’ or ‘The Conversion of the Magdalene’ Apparently, it’s your choice. By Bernardo Luini c1560 {{PD-Art}}

For today, the 26th of September:

Void begins at 8:35 PM PDT; the Moon enters Pisces at 10:24 PM PDT.

Right away the Moon joins with Neptune and trines Ceres. The aspect picture is one of unreliable emotional perceptions, misleading or distorted intuitions, creativity inspired by nature, or emotional reactions to the assertions of authorities or Mom. We may feel ‘drugged up’ without the actual drugs, zoned out, or overwhelmed by feeling or fog. There’s not much to be done, except to avoid commitment or contracts for the active window of this contact and perhaps to allow ourselves to enter a creative zone that accesses things we are often too connected to reality to observe or enjoy.

And for tomorrow, the 27th:

9 AM PDT the Moon conjuncts Chiron, sextiles Pluto, and semi-sextiles Uranus. We have the choice to wallow in hurts from the past, stew over revenge, and exhaust ourselves, or we can allow healing, try to change the world, and exhaust ourselves. Moderation is the magic word at this time.

To see it all in detail, order ECLIPSE! New issues arrive in your email every Thursday evening Pacific time (and here’s where I remind you that the Vesta book will be out soon, free to current subscribers!) It’s affordable and accurate–so if you come here often, you really should have it all–order now!

Oh! And this site is on the verge of hitting 700,000 views (over about 4 1/2 years)! I’ll be giving away a FREE copy of CHIRON, INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP, or JUNO, or an extra 3 Months on their paid subscription (the Winner can choose) to the first person who subscribes or renews their subscription today, the 26th, or tomorrow, the 27th (Pacific time).

Thanks to everyone for visiting, and a special Thank You to subscribers for their loyal, consistent, and generous support!

Just a Little Astro Essence on the Pisces Full Moon ‘A Spur to Accomplishment’

‘The Jockey’ Toulouse-Lautrec {{PD-Art}}

A little something on the Full Moon, from the new ECLIPSE:

The Full Moon in Pisces occurs at 6:57 AM Pacific time of the 31st at 8 Pisces 33. Along with the conjunction to Chiron, the sextile to Pluto, and the semi-sextile to Uranus, the Full Moon adds a semi-sextile to Pallas and a sesquiquadrate to Venus, but eschews any aspect of more than 2 degrees, for precision! This tells us that, added to the experience of either hurting or healing, we learn something, something we can define as wisdom–so what happens has a deep and useful meaning, whether we recognize that or not, and that we must adjust either relationships or finances (or perhaps even re-align values) in order to accommodate what we learn.

The Sabian for the Full Moon is ‘A Jockey Spurs His Horse, Intent on Outdistancing His Rivals’  With the Moon nestled within the square between Uranus and Pluto, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised to find that this energy is one of finishing a race, with the sense of competition at a fever pitch. Certainly we see this striving all around us, in the US at a national level with the Presidential campaign, and personally as we spoke about before, with each of us trying to empower ourselves, to enhance our individuality. This symbol suggests that all will be focused; it does not, however, promise victory.

See it all here –and Thanks to All who have! And everyone, enjoy your weekend!

Just a Little Something for Your Week (and Weekend) Ahead 6-12 July 2012: ‘A Fertile Time’

Makes the spiritual look almost romantic, doesn’t it? Don’t be confused–fertile influences are everywhere this week! Molteni 1838 /image by Artgate Fondazione Cariplo distributed under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported via Wikimedia Commons

First, just a little something about your upcoming week, from ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest:

I’d like to offer an unusual warning concerning the week ahead: if you’re looking to conceive a child, the time is ripe; if you do not want a child, make sure you take extra precautions, as the Universe is just a poppin’ with fertile energy of all kinds. If you’re in creative endeavors, this is also an excellent time for you–seminal work could be generated at this point, as can a wealth of inspirations that you may spend years after exploiting through your creative work. Even a late garden can flourish in the lee of the Full Moon, so honor all that grows–it will pay off tremendously.

Now, you can’t say I didn’t tell you what’s up! For Saturday we have this:

Vesta enters 29 degrees and we may feel a great deal of pressure around the things we dedicate our lives to, or around home or mate. A sorting out needs to happen, a re-evaluation, so that we are not putting our energy toward, or showing reverence for, outmoded ideas. The Moon’s contact to Neptune assists us with this, and allows us to be truly inspired in re-ordering our priorities.

And for Sunday, the 8th of July:

On the 8th of July Mars quincunxes Neptune, adding fuel and energy to the imagination/ creative fire, but part of what we’ll have to deal with is the need to modify our actions in order to see our vision realized. Don’t balk at having to make a few changes–you’re too close to quit now.

Get the full report, week after week, for $5 per month (or less, with a 6 month subscription!) If you’re here several times a week, then ECLIPSE is for you, with articles, info, and the complete forecast that uses Chiron, Sedna, Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, Juno, and Zeus and offers all major contacts/influences of the transiting Moon for the 7 day period. Support the blog, and get everything you need–order now!

And Subscribers, among various typos in this week’s ECLIPSE, the one on the “sh*t down” of Arafat’s kidneys might take the grammar police cake! My apologies for a truly unsavory mistake.

‘Buddha in His Youth’ Odilon pre-1916 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 5:55 PM PDT of the 12th; the Moon enters Pisces at 4:42 AM PDT of the 13th.

The 13th sees Ceres quincunx Zeus and Mercury trine Mars; this time the power clashes are serious, among ‘big’ players, and aggressive or angry words come much too easily. We may see one side insist that what’s ‘natural’ is right, while the other side asserts that their position and authority must prevail. Neither is without flaw, and if you are able to withdraw from this, all the better; no matter the outcome, all parties will be forced to adjust, so naming a clear ‘winner’ just isn’t possible–with that in mind, put your energy elsewhere, maybe into keeping your communications as conscious and kind as possible.

In Lunar terms we have only a few striking aspects to take into account; by 10 AM PDT the first is in place with the Moon’s conjunction to Neptune. Emotional confusion is too mild a concept for this! We just don’t know: emotionally, intuitively, our senses fail us. For a lucky few who can let go into the energy, truly ‘zoning out’ and blanking on their current surroundings (please, no one driving a bus or operating heavy machinery may partake!) this can be an ultimate moment of inspiration or creative inception–and if this hooks into the natal chart, especially to the 5th or ruler of the 5th, or the Sun, Moon, or ASC ruler, this can be a once-in-a-lifetime inspiration. Capturing the effect may not be as easy as you think, since it will be other-worldly and experiential in nature–and so our after-the-fact ‘translations’ may never fully capture what is given us in the moment.

This is a small excerpt from ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest, arriving in your email by subscription every Thursday, Pacific time. The current issue covers Venus Retrograde, Thoughts on Archetypes, and detailed aspect and Lunar forecasts for the coming week. Order here for only $5 per month! and get the May ‘Extra Months’ Special–2 extra with a 6 month subscription (for 8 months total), 1 extra with a 3 month subscription (4 months total) Next week, ECLIPSE on the eclipse!

Thank you all, and have a great weekend!

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 20 March 2012: ‘Inspecting Our Path’

Kryzhitsky 1899 {{PD-Art}}

6:30 AM PDT Luna (in Pisces) squares the Nodal axis, and Juno, which is conjunct the North Node, as well as opposes Mars. We may find ourselves ‘inspecting’ our Path, and pushing (with the emotions) strongly toward ‘moving on’ or the future; this impulse in some way contradicts what we’re doing now. The key is to examine our methodologies and cut ourselves some slack–there are reasons we are moving slowly, even clumsily, toward our goals at this time. No need to hurry. This gives us a chance to do a check-up that also allows us to forgive (Pisces) the humanness of that most important person, ourselves.

If they’d seen that sign sooner, they might’ve been inspired to take the train. From the work of the great Dorothea Lange, during her time with the Federal government 1937 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 4:40 PM PDT; the Moon enters Pisces at 5:05 PM Pacific time. First aspect is a conjunction to Neptune, at 7 PM-ish PDT. That unites the intuitive and feeling faculties with the creative essence–not our personal one, but the one we share with the Collective. It’s an excellent time to get inspired, to create, and especially to ‘feel around’ in the figurative ether and vet our ideas–we’ll know if something is unique to us or ‘in the air’, if we go looking–can also make for an ideal emotional interlude.
