Love transmitted in, what else? A Love Letter, by Pedro Lira pre-1912 {{PD-Art}} I almost went with a picture of hell by Bosch, but it looked a little too much like an unpleasant farmer's market!

9:30 AM PDT of the 19th the Moon trines Venus in Water, offering a tremendous opening for harmonious emotional outreach in relationships–take advantage, and plan something, even a small note or event, to coincide with this time–the feeling of love transmitted will be unmistakable.

1:30 PM PDT the Moon squares Mars; we may burst with emotional, aggressive talk, some (or all) of which will be streaming from the unconscious–or we may feel agitated and go looking for someone to talk it out with. Outrage could center on large institutions–they’re easy targets anyway, and this transit may make us feel our righteous attitude needs expression! In this instance, what you’re saying is probably right–but it’s likely to be a mad cacophony out there, as everyone may have steam to blow off. Don’t take angry words too seriously; many will be just a little bit tormented at this point, shouting out from their own little corner of hell, but not really meaning what they say.

No, confrontations won't be this harsh--just remember everyone likes a little power. 'Queen Tomyris receiving the head of the King of Persia' by Preti c1670 {{PD-Art}}

Just after 5 AM PDT the Moon opposes Juno; we see the real power situation (especially as it relates to those desperate to retain status or advantage) and we know how we feel about it. The Pisces Moon may incline us to see ourselves as One with the power-needy, or as victims of them–but neither take is exactly right; instead observe that everyone has a need for power in some form, it just so happens that some people’s need is more obvious, or more likely to be judged by others (and that may lead us to a certain humility, as in, who are we to judge?)

A 1:30 AM PDT sextile of the Moon to Pluto says that, asleep or awake, we’ll delve deep with ease. A special side effect may be that emotional secrets are just not safe (under the ease of a sextile–just a little inquiry will reveal all!) Whether we dream it, hear it, ask for it, see it, we’ll know the heart of someone, specifically in terms of what she or he may have hoped to keep quiet. Be gentle with any revelations you may be privy to, especially those of your own deepest feeling.

9:30 AM Pacific there’s a Lunar trine to Mercury in Cancer. We speak, and communicate in all forms, with great emotion. For some who are natally or by transit under the thumb of Saturn, this will be a relief, and allow a significant outpouring of feeling; for those who are overly emotive to begin with, this could be a disaster, causing the dramatic floodgates to open, washing away any semblance of credibility you once had. Take a restrained tack, and you’ll avoid disaster while still getting plenty of emotion across; this can be facillitated by the Moon’s simultaneous quincunx to Saturn, which will offer clear boundaries and good judgment, if only we’re willing to adjust our own behavior to take advantage.

The Marriage of Oberon and Titania--A Flight of Fancy by JA Fitzgerald pre-1907 {{PD-art}}

Void begins at 1:23 PM Pacific, with the Moon entering Pisces at 1:45 PM PDT. Of course, we start off with a conjunction to Neptune, obscuring our feelings and inspiring . . . what? Flights of fancy, dreams, artistic or humanitarian visions, and we may be prompted to reach for our ideals. Pay attention to what comes to you at this time–it can represent where your creative energies are really going–and if you find yourself fantasizing negatively (about someone else’s husband, for instance!) then you need to do a serious reality check, as well as re-directing your personal intentions and energies. Otherwise, it will be a time of solid inspiration and can give a glimpse of the personal ‘payoff’ coming down the road.
