Whistler's 'Caprice in Purple and Gold' 1903 or before {{PD-Art}} via Wikimedia Commons

Moon enters Pisces at 5:24 AM Pacific, and immediately is conjunct Neptune. What should we expect when our emotions and intuition meet the imagination, the mystical, the Collective, or lies? Obviously, it depends greatly on which of these we encounter–and this will be determined at this point by how open, honest, and above-board is our own relationship with Neptunian energies. It will be a ‘like attracts like’ encounter, with Neptune’s current presence in our life brought forward and put front and center in our perceptions. We will receive the full emotional brunt of this; the gift of this is that we can intuit precisely how to handle things, and if need be, how to change them for the better.

Post 3 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Chiron, melding the emotions with either one’s sense of primal wound, or one’s initiative to heal–your choice. If you find yourself hurting, it  suggests you may be too attuned to your own pain–something that can only be remedied by finding something else to put your attention on, while at the same time being willing to heal the wound; together those should allow you to take specific steps to move forward, away from the hurt you may have been carrying for quite some time.

It'll be a foggy kind of day. 'Place du Theatre Francais in the Fog' Pissarro 1897

It’s a day that rides along on the steam of the Pisces Moon–or maybe that’s the mist or fog of the Pisces Moon–and the prevailing energies may be ones that would be much more subtle if not for the empty (though Neptune-generated obscuring) field they have. This means we may be distracted, confused, unsure, relaxed, intently creative, wandering, or mad escapist. Energy is provided by Mercury quincunx Juno, and Ceres quincunx h.Zeus. These two aspects bring forward some mild but persistent irritation; communication may be a delicate minefield where we pick our way through the bouncing betties of pride, who holds the power, and status, while the influence of the maternal and/ or of authority jockeys with ambitions and desires for the last say.

*A bouncing betty is a particularly nasty mine that, when triggered, ‘jumped’ up to a height and detonated, causing maximum devastation over the widest possible area

'Beach at Valencia or Afternoon Sun' Joaquin Sorolla 1908 {{PD-Art}}

10:30/11 AM PDT the Pisces Moon makes a sextile to Pluto and semi-sextile to Venus. In this case, the Pisces Moon acts very much as it does in horary astrology, translating and collecting light from one body to another. In this case, it acts as a conduit for smooth changes (Pluto sextile) to the financial, asset, or relationship picture (Venus in Aries), where assertive moves have been brewing but did not have the clout (with Venus weakened in the Warrior’s sign) to come forward–but now they do, aided by the emotional intelligence and intuitive ‘knowing.’ By the way, Venus will at this point be the midpoint of the Moon and Sun, suggesting a lot of energy will attend that Venus initiative to assert itself; it will seem very ‘right’–and unless you’re suffering a debility to judgment by transit to the natal chart, it probably is. See my Facebook note at Julie Demboski’s Astrology for more on the Venus-Pluto square.

By midnight, all in the 13th degree of respective signs, the Moon will conjunct Ceres, semi-sextile Mercury, and quincunx h.Zeus, making for a test of one’s influence, authority, and possibly one’s communication and negotiation skills, and whatever comes forward will need to be adjusted according to the ambitions or desire nature–so the likely outcome will be expression of one’s native authority tempered strongly by what one hopes to gain or achieve. There will be an awareness of what others can do for us, where the lines of authority and territory are drawn, and how we might need to relate, intuit, or empathize in order to get what we want. It sounds mercenary, but it’s actually very practical, and insures that we will be too aware of the power structure to cause offense–and that’s good.

Around 4 AM PST the Moon conjuncts Mercury, which will make both sextile Sedna. Will we get the message, or will it be obscured by Sedna’s ability to hide what’s right in front of us? I don’t know that there’s any way to combat this effect, as no matter how attentive we are there is something we just don’t see! Nevertheless, we may feel the message, acutely–and if we can channel the energy into some other (natal) contact, we might see it secondhand, like an object behind us that we see in a rear-view mirror (and remember, those are always larger than they appear!)

The Moon hits Uranus 7:30 PM Pacific, and chaos of one kind or another may ensue. It’s an elegant upset, seated largely in the mind, either through confusion or through perceptions that don’t align with what we think should be there! Surprises concerning information, ‘the latest,’ academic areas, and/ or groups with which we’re involved may all come to the fore. Be prepared, and don’t overreact; as a perceptual issue this may better wait for the Moon’s entry into Aries before we actually do anything connected with what we see–the picture as we see it may change significantly before then.

Void begins at 8:36 PM PST; the Moon enters Aries 9:14 PM Pacific.
