Pallas Athena, the wise warrior Self Klimt 1898 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 4:30 PM PST the Moon squares Ceres and quincunxes Sedna. As soon as the aspect (a sextile) between Ceres and Sedna formed, it was easy to forget our true power, especially that which is seated in being our own little force of nature; now we are uncomfortably reminded of this through emotional reaction or intuitive perception. We may feel that we must get away from the source of discomfort (the travelin’ inclination of Sagittarius)–better to face the upset head-on, and deal with it; straightening it out won’t be as bad as it seems.

Carrier-Belleuse 1901 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 7 PM PST the Moon conjuncts Mercury; we get the message through the emotions, and what we realize has far-reaching implications (Sagittarius). This is likely to be some sort of knowledge–consider carefully how you will use it.

Remember, it’s the Dark of the Moon–contemplation is favored over action.

Just a Little Essence for Today 26 November 2011: ‘Keeping It All Straight’

Bettina von Arnim, Hunting Scene of Cut paper/Scherenschnitt pre-1859 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 4:07 PM PST; Moon enters Capricorn 7:05 PM PST.

Right away we have a conjunction of the Moon and Venus, a sextile to Chiron, and a square to Uranus. Released from our previous uncertainty and worry, we are now feeling all the pressures of Capricorn (what’s my status? do I matter? what are the rules? where are the boundaries?) and they seem inseparable from our relationships and perhaps the asset situation as well. With some discipline we can draw on our most unique skills, though we should expect real conflict with the group or dealing with our own rebellious feelings–so the only source of difficulty in reality will be within, or with the group–but not in the relationships or financial situations that seem to be the source. We must work to keep it straight :)

Just a Little Essence for the Sagittarius New Moon 2011/ Solar Eclipse: ‘At Play’

'Children Playing in Autumn' Plinke pre-1915 {{PD-Art}}

In the newsletter I called today ‘The Big Day’ for November; between the aspects and the partial Solar eclipse, it just seems like it is! Here’s a little something on the Sabian for the New Moon in Sagittarius, at 10:08 PM PST at 2 Sagittarius 36:

The Sabian for this NM/Eclipse is ‘Two Men Playing Chess’ Though the influences are complex, and the potential ‘moves’ many, we must not lose sight of what this (and by ‘this,’ I mean ‘Life’) really is: a game. This symbol strongly implies that we should approach events at this juncture with a mentality that is playful and flexible enough to respond, not as if matters are of life and death, but as if they are a challenge to our adaptability, our agility, and our ability to process, discern, and choose, and all with the end of becoming ‘the winner’ (in our own game). There is also the thought that the two men can represent either two active, doing, animus stances within ourselves, so that the game is an internal one, where we hope to defeat internal obstacles, or that they represent ourselves vs an external challenge or opponent–but then, if the external is really just a reflection of the internal (no matter how it seems or feels) then it’s really the same problem, isn’t it? This suggests, then, that the NM hard aspect to Chiron illustrates exactly what may constitute our opponent–so look to the natal Chiron situation for clues as to what might arise as our dysfunction, and also as to the healing attitude we might adopt in order to reconcile the two players, after the game (after the NM period).

Just a Little Essence for the Weekend 29-30 October 2011: ‘Keeping the Vision Clear’

'Riding the Sacred Elephant'--surely that's a euphemism for something we should all try Artist unknown c1675 {{PD-Art}}

for Saturday, the 29th (remember, effects span 3-4 hours either side of a Lunar aspect)

Right before 10 PM PDT the Sag Moon trines Mars in Leo; does this bring some Fire into our lives? Maybe, if we’ve recently had a lot of Indian food, or if we are inclined to big, expansive emotional displays that are tightly linked to the ego. Everyone else might simply be prompted to finally take the first step on that exotic trip they’ve been dreaming about, to finally act on long-time feelings, or to head for the horizon, literally or figuratively, looking for ‘more’ or ‘better’ Make choices with care; even if we wake up somewhere new, we still have a lot of ‘old’ to deal with.

. . . and for the 30th

6 AM Pacific time sees the Sag Moon sextile Neptune. This can make us think we know things, even though those things are really figments of our imaginations. Though we normally may see ourselves as psychic, sensitive, or just plain observant, the Neptune placement in Aquarius is too mind-focused to allow a true psychic flow–we instead substitute the mentality, and the Sag Moon brings an emphasis on knowing that doesn’t like to go unanswered, with the combination substituting the imagination and supposition for psychic perception. Just so you know.

Void begins 6:30 AM PDT, exacerbating the tendency promised by the previous aspect to lead ourselves astray; Moon enters Capricorn, sign of tough little goats climbing rock solid mountains of facts, at 9:39 AM PDT. Could be a tremendous jolt for those who got swept away by their own ‘psychic vision aka trick of the imagination’ Now reality will intrude–probably rudely. Everyone else may breathe a sigh of relief as what is takes firm shape around us and we gain confidence and security in dealing with matter, not fantasy. The opening sextile to Chiron can make us sensitive, and/ or draw forward our Chirotic skills in real-world ways; Pallas sits at the Moon/ Chiron midpoint, infusing the effort with wisdom and purpose.

Just a Little Essence for Today 28 October 2011: ‘Heading for the Emotional Hills’

Void begins at 4:50 AM Pacific time; the Moon enters Sagittarius at 7:45 AM PDT. A sextile to Pallas and square to Chiron kick things off in the sign of the archer; we feel smart! and yet vulnerable, and very aware of our wound and our weakness. This kind of influence can prompt some to bluster and others to retreat into ‘what I know,’ and still others may head for the emotional hills. None of these is a particularly effective way to meet things, but our reaction does tell us quite clearly what stresses we are under and where our weak spots lie–and it’s always good to be informed, especially under a Sag Moon!

Yosemite by T. Hill 1871 {{PD-Art}}

4 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes the exact Earth/ Jupiter conjunction and semi-sextiles Pluto. This is very much a social awareness aspect, with concurrent urges to transform, destroy, or grab power observed or acted on. We see the consequences of the social order on the material situation, and we are prepared, to some extent, to do something about it. Just don’t be Self-destructive in the process; this is the kind of influence that pushes people into quitting their job or vandalizing corporate property in an ‘I’ll show them!’ frame of mind, when the only fruitful actions will spring from an awareness that the social order cares not for the individual.

Kusakabe Kimbei pre-1933 {{PD}}

10 AM PDT the Moons squares Ceres, and we are likely confronted with the demands of authority or nature. Answer carefully. At this same point the Moon trines Mercury, perhaps inclining us to share information (or just to gab!) much too easily. If we are required to exchange or collect information, it may go very smoothly, but we must be aware of how messages are sent even before we realize we’re telegraphing our thoughts. Another instance where being as aware as possible is best, and where reticence may serve better than openness.

The Essence for 4 September 2011: A Natural Result

Manet 1864 {{PD-Art}}

It’s post 7 AM PDT before the Moon quincunxes Jupiter, making us feel the social scene is against us–whether they are or not is a whole other story :) Soon after (9 AM-ish Pacific) the Sag Moon squares the Sun/ Earth axis. Tension is a natural result; use it to get yourself moving–under a Sagittarius Moon, we must get going–and movement is the point, more even than having a goal!

1 PM PDT the Moon sextiles h.Zeus; we’ve been sailing along smoothly on good feeling–now we can put that to work for ambition or desire fulfillment. Follow the urge, as long as the emotions/ intuition says it’s okay–otherwise, pull back and let the ‘opportunity’ go by. 4 PM PDT sees the Moon sextile Saturn–and if we’ve followed our inclinations, we may have a very satisfying result at this point.

'The Healing of Justinian by Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian' by Fra Angelico c1439 {{PD-Art}}

The Void begins at 12:42 PM PDT; the Moon enters Sagittarius at 2:03 PM PDT. Just past 5 PM PDT the Moon squares Chiron, priming us to feel hurt–or are we primed to heal some longstanding wound? Our choice probably aligns with our current feeling toward the Cosmos (Pisces) and our willingness to venture into ‘new’ emotional territory (Sagittarius).

The Essence for 9 August 2011: Puttin’ On the Fancy

By Sokolov c.1830s {{PD-Art}}

Around noon the Sagittarius Moon sextiles Neptune and trines Mercury, and both are retro and at 29 tense degrees. The fibs may fly, not ’cause anyone is bent on deceiving, but just because it’s so easy–the spinning of stories happens almost before we realize it. If we’re in a negotiation or receiving info from someone (not the best thing to do now anyway, with Merc retro) we may be in danger of both believing what we’re told wholeheartedly or guilty of embellishing things ourselves–the fancy may be put on after it reaches our ears–and in either case we’re susceptible to making wrong decisions because of it.

At this same time the Moon fills in a Fist of God with the Moon’s sextile to Ceres and both sesquiquadrate Venus. This is where we should focus, not on communications, but on the emotional perceptions of the authority and power situations in the life. When the feelings and the ‘power/ authority attitude’ are aligned, we receive a payoff, perhaps literally with a material reward, or with love, but in either case it feeds the ego.

There’s such a teeny Void, I’m not even paying attention to it; Moon enters Capricorn at 1:38 PM Pacific time.
