The Sun and Uranus: Together Again

Even though it happens every year, this time the transiting Sun and Uranus meet up at the Aries Point–and that promises an extra little something to the conjunction. Most likely is that the Sun will serve to shine a light on the Uranian developments in your life is a very personal way. The Aries Point is the spot where the unseen becomes the seen, and that implies that what comes forward will manifest from within all that you have been attracting, arranging, planning (in a Universal, spirit-directed sense). It can be quite the period of discovery, especially with Uranus involved–but no matter what appears in your life, you need to see that it’s a previously hidden part of you–so don’t waste time and energy arguing that it has nothing to do with you–instead study what occurs, appears, or falls into your lap as if it’s a gift of knowledge–because it is.

And the Lunar influence for the day includes:

By the time the Moon trines Neptune in the 29th degree of their respective signs, Ceres, companion to Neptune at 29 degrees previously, has moved on to 00 Pisces. Say what? This might play out as feeling like you get to the scene after someone responsible (Ceres, in her role as an authority) has already fled, leaving a crisis of imagination, creativity, spirituality, or collectivity (as in, someone shouting, ‘We’re all in this together!’ then cutting out). Though the rightful onus is on the already-disappeared Ceres figure, the reality is that whoever’s left must take on the task of righting whatever went off the tracks–and in this case, let intuition and ideals guide you (but don’t assume you must be on the clean-up crew–that’s an individual decision that must be keyed to that intuition and those ideals).

The Essence for 22 February 2011: An Emotional Emergency

Now, let's say this ball represents your emotions . . . Cranach 1532 {{PD-Art}}

Today and the coming few after will be whoppers–aggression, misunderstanding, and unreasonable expectations will abound. Will the Lunar influence offer any relief? Not really. We kick the 22nd off, Pacific time, in ultra-late Libra in aspect to a tense duo: Mars and Uranus, both at 29 degrees. It all feels like an emotional emergency that others (especially our partners–Libra) must do something about. The Void begins at 12:36 AM PST as the Moon moves away from her trine to Mars–and this suggests that if our partner or others do make a move, as requested, we might be very surprised by what it is! A Void says we can’t anticipate results–truly the case here.

Moon enters Scorpio at 1:29 AM PST and, unless we’re both ultra-controlled and totally able to be honest with ourselves and others, we will be both looking to sting and receiving same from those around us–ouch! The tone is set with an immediate trine to Mercury/ Chiron and along with the South node this creates a Grand Trine–emotions are intense, overwhelming, mingled with the primal wound and the past, and all this will be too easy to communicate and share with others.

27 January 2011: “Don’t Speak!”

This is how “Don’t speak!” should play out

1:30 AM PST we see the Moon sextile Capricorn Mercury–is it just me, or does this feel like an instance of banging our emotional heads against a stone wall? The Scorpio Moon won’t want to contain itself, and that’s all Cappy Merc wants to do. It reminds me of that character played by Dianne Wiest in ‘Bullets Over Broadway’: she was a very dramatic individual, romanticizing every conversation in her own mind, so that anytime anyone tried to say something to her, she would extend her hand, clap it over their mouth, and in husky, hushed tones exclaim, “Don’t speak!” I see this aspect as something like that, Scorpio Moon just wanting to express, Cappy Merc determined to cut it off at the pass, despite what should be a co-operative relationship (the sextile). Of course, we can add that Merc is also square newly retro Saturn–though that seems if it was revved up today, silence would be easy–but I think Saturn is all about itself right now, and with Pallas still within conjunction of Mercury, we might feel what we have to say is just too smart to keep to ourselves!

Coming up on 6 PM PST the Moon squares Neptune and trines Uranus. If we try to live a fantasy, or pass off a delusion or lie as reality, conflict will ensue. Conflict will specifically be fueled by the individuality urge, the need to feel unique or special, that will prompt the tall tale in the first place. Try not to talk smack :)

Sure, that's me, just hangin' out, playin' a little fiddle for my friends Irma von Duczynska 1914 {{PD}}

8 AM Pacific and the Moon squares Mars–temper is like a stone against flint, the flare fed by emotions too long neglected. By 10 AM PST the Moon is square Ceres; authorities may step in, settle (or cause!) conflict, or we may become highly aware of in what way our emotional nature is failing to connect with the environment.

How are you and the Saturn Retrograde getting along? With the exact square to Mercury in Cardinals, we may be having a very active ‘thought life’–with the retro period focusing us on our reality, and how we may change it ( or it may change us!)

25 January 2011: ‘The Invisible Man’

Claude Rains and Gloria Stuart in 'The Invisible Man' 1933

From 10 PM of the 24th right through 5 AM PST of the 25th, the Moon and Venus form the base of a Finger of God with apex Sedna. It’s like those old ‘Invisible Man’ movies, where once the bandages came off he could sneak around and spy on the bad guys–something compels our emotional life and relationships, yet we can’t see it–an energy exerts itself on us and we don’t know what it is, or why we are pushing in a certain direction (this will be wherever Sedna, currently at 21 Taurus 30, sits in the natal chart). This could be materials, value, artisanal skills, or security-oriented, or could have the features of the House involved; if Sedna is currently aspecting natal bodies, particularly by conjunction, this could signal a major episode for you.

By 3 PM PST the Moon sextiles Vesta, reminding us through the emotions and intuition of what’s most important to us. 4:30 PM sees the Moon trine Chiron–it may be easy to hurt and be hurt, but more likely we just become extra-sensitive. Void begins at 4:43 PM PST, ends with the Moon’s entry into Scorpio at 6:15 PM Pacific, and we start the transit with a need to adjust the emotional picture to the social scene, or to some knowledge we’ve acquired (quincunx to Jupiter).

If only what's coming up from the depths would be this idyllic Siemiradzkiego 1898 {{PD-Art}}

The Moon enters Scorpio at 12:49 PM PST. This could be a time when we feel like saying, ‘Scorpio, you are a real bitch.’ The atmosphere will seem unusually harsh, with emotional challenges to creativity, with feelings of attack (rather than actual attack) coming forward, and the aesthetic both volatile (via the emotions) and too willing to embrace the unsightly and to re-cycle what may or may not still hold some value. Disorientation may be the overriding result, as we face Merc’s direction (11:20 PM PST).

9:04 AM PST the 29th: I wrote the above several days ago, and now that we’re here, I’m not feeling it in quite the same way–so what’s up? Let’s look at the aspects in effect right now–the Moon is 17 minutes from her Void, with a square to Ceres the last aspect. This suggests to me that we’re in the midst of a natural progression, and that we don’t ‘arrive’ at the Scorpionic reaction until we hit the Scorpio Moon–well that makes sense.

I think all our energy is really focused toward the Mercury Direction tonight (11:20 PM PST), and that tension may override other considerations, with the Moon’s entry into Scorpio enhancing the stress inherent in a station and making it the key player in today’s scenario.

Of course, the Mars/ Saturn square is exact, and Pluto sits at the Sun/ Pallas midpoint, and both are promises of assertive, even volatile, energy making an appearance materially/ physically–and it seems like a smart alternative or channel for our energy! The only chance of this being productive is found in being entirely conscious of just how much ‘push’ there is in the psyche. Pluto can be stealthy, and right when we think we’ve used up all that assertive juice more comes along–and must find an outlet. As long as we can accept that it will keep coming (for Pluto has depths and depths and no end) we will continue in conscious mode, and not fall prey to lashing out, acting out, or passing out from sheer rage, pique, or shock!

5 November 2010: The New Moon in Scorpio ‘Empowering Message’

The New Moon occurs at 9:52 PM Pacific at 13 Scorpio 40–the only aspect made is a sextile to Juno.  The Sabian is ‘Telephone Lineman at Work Installing New Connections’  Combined these say that the connections and ‘lines’ necessary for empowerment are being created or strengthened, whether we are aware of that or not. It’s a straightforward picture that also implies technology or Uranian subjects (as dictated either by Uranus itself or by Uranian connections in the natal chart) are involved. Again, this may be happening hidden from view (Scorpio)–and this says it’s a process that we will be able to have little conscious effect on. Consider it the ‘birthing point’ for something(s) that have been sotto voce in consciousness so far–and welcome the chance to see what needs to come out of the dark and into the light, rather than fear it.

The New Moon’s ‘Empowering Message’ is very particular to the individual; more details on the current aspect picture are available here at the Private Pages with purchase of ECLIPSE magazine http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/the-latest-new-fall-2010-eclipse/ or try JUNO IN THE NATAL CHART, here http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com Thanks!

12 September 2010: Feeling Our Way Through the Dark

11 Saturday Sep 2010

A Scorpio Moon makes us all a little restless; it’s something hidden moving through dark water, a cold drift in a warm breeze, a presence in an empty room, the feeling that, even under the bright lights of a happy gathering, everyone has secrets. It’s not that there are suddenly things that are hidden from us, but that with the Scorpio Lunar influence we become more aware of what isn’t obvious–and when that happens it seems our world is full of stressful and distressing things, unless we respond by being willing to seek truth, reveal what’s hidden, change or destroy what needs reforming. With Pluto going direct on Monday, and Mercury going direct tomorrow, the 12th, we may find a great many things revealed, coming to the surface, or being exposed, whether we like it or not. Try to make the energy work for you by facing what comes forward with courage and an unflinching affinity for the truth, even when it’s not as flattering as we might hope. See more about the direction of both energies (and get ready for the Cardinal Full Moon later this month) here: http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-summer-2010-eclipse/ 

10:30 AM of the 12th PDT the Moon trines the Earth and sextiles the Sun, bringing the material picture into focus; we see whether our ambitions actually serve our physical goals or not. 12:30 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Pallas and squares Juno (the Juno book should be available Tuesday! Well, I’m excited!) and this means the intuition aligns with our innate wisdom–and likely shows us just how we may be disempowering ourselves, probably through emotional descision-making that is in some way Self-defeating.

By 10:30 of the PM, PDT, the Moon squares Neptune, making us vulnerable to delusion or fantasy, especially the kind that seems it will ‘fix’ whatever’s not been ‘working’ through this Scorpio Moon period. How do you tell that it’s wish-fulfillment, rather than a solution? You have to ask yourself, How much does this solution rely on assuming that others, or other circumstances, will make the change happen? If there’s a lot of reliance on other things or people changing or acting, as well, your supposed solution falls under the realm of fantasy, and needs to be re-worked in a more practical vein.

By 1:30 AM PDT of the 13th the Moon squares Chiron, bringing either a period of hurt (likely at the discovery that your solution wasn’t workable, via the square to Neptune), or you get a healing boost. Allow the love of the Universe to come in; half the time it’s only our resistance that keeps us unhealed and out of the flow. At 2:30 AM-ish the Moon trines Uranus in Water, and we feel our own uniqueness acutely–and that’s good, helping us access our most individual and creative energy through personal sensitivity and the intuitive nature.

By 3:30 AM the Moon is trine Jupiter at 29 Pisces, and though there is an element of stress to this aspect, especially concerning educational, religious, foreign, or social elements, there is a chance to feel our way to the correct approach. Void begins at 4:53 AM PDT, with the Moon entering Sagittarius at 5:52 AM on the 13th PDT.

1 September 2010: The Indefinable Stresses of Being

The Gemini Moon squares the Virgo Sun 9:00 AM or so PDT, marking something that, at least for those in the Pacific time zone, may feel like beginning the day with an ending; upper squares always have a mix of anticipation and finale and this one, though only lasting a few hours, is no exception. 12:30 PM the Moon quincunxes the North Node, and we find ourselves making emotional adjustments–again–this time to our feelings about where we’re headed; be ready for a lot of talk and windy speculation/ posturing (Gemini Moon) that may have to accomodate a good hard dash of reality (Cappy NN).

Early afternoon sees the Moon trine Vesta and Zeus, followed around 3 PDT by the Moon’s square to retro Mercury; these aspects may show as a sense of emotional well-being, confidence, and ambition that is suddenly brought up short by something communicated or realized. The weird thing about this is that we may feel all alone during this–not isolated in any way but internally, where it almost feels like we sit back and watch our confidence come and just as easily go. For a few what’s communicated may actually be a confirmation (perhaps beyond our imaginings) of positive advancement–and yet we really won’t be able to trust that, either. Knowing Merc retro, the rug may be pulled from under us at any time.

By 9 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Juno, and we feel the mojo that vanished in the afternoon return; 12:30 AM PDT on the 2nd and the Moon quincunxes Pallas, rounding out this mini-period of discovery with a helpful (and unavoidable) wisdom-check. All in all, it’s a day where the stresses are definitely there but when it’s all over we may have a hard time pointing to exactly what was wrong. 

We’re coming up on a very active period, to include the September Full Moon–make the most of the trends with the guidance found here at the site and at http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-summer-2010-eclipse/ Thanks, and have a great one!

16 August 2010: Deep Emotion

10 PM of the 15th sees the Scorpio Moon sesquiquadrate Jupiter in Aries, kicking off the week with an eye to expansion of Self-interests–it’s ‘me’ time, for each of us, and rightly so–a kind of suspension that allows us to look long and deep (Scorpio) into what we really need as individuals to assert ourselves beyond the usual horizon. A tall order, not necessarily to be accomplished in a single leap–this is a point when we can get a great intuitive measure and emotional ‘feel’ for our own needs–take advantage of this, as often as not we aren’t really aware of our own best interests, or what we really, truly want.

1 AM PDT of the 16th the Moon sextiles Mercury, which will be retrograding in Virgo in a scant five days (ECLIPSE readers see commentary on this and particularly the direction, which coincides with Pluto’s). Communication will be disjointed, now and for some time, and to some extent each of us may feel isolated–this Moon contact may only highlight what will become very familiar over the coming weeks.

8 AM and the Moon opposes Sedna–don’t expect to know what you feel at this point, and don’t rely on intuition right now–you will simply not have access to it, and by 10 AM PDT the Moon forms a T square with the Sun/ Earth axis, presenting an ‘assessment moment’ in terms of effort and the direction it’s taking you. This may be relatively minor, but serves as a small check-up for how effectively you may be choosing and whether actions are actually taking you where you want to go. 

5 PM-ish PDT the Moon squares Neptune, perhaps delivering a reality check on some point we’ve glossed over or ignored up to now, and by 7 PM the Moon squares Chiron, inviting us to either meet the Neptunian challenge with our most unique skills or to crumple into a sad heap, hurt that everything isn’t handed to us, just so–your choice.

By 9 the Moon trines Uranus in Water, both bodies at 29 degrees, suggesting stress to the emotions and to the matters of the House ruled by Uranus in the natal chart. This upset may wiggle under consciousness and seem unreasonably hard to pin down, and may as well bring emotional surprises or shocks–just remember, a current running through water shocks much worse than the voltage implies!

The Void’s once again not worth mentioning; the Moon enters Sagittarius at 10:33 PM PDT, with 2:30 AM-ish on the 17th bringing the Moon semi-sextile Pluto, sextile Saturn, and trine Jupiter–is there no rest, as the saying goes, for the wicked? Or the rest of us, for that matter!  The emotions may seem both solid and expansive, filling up the room and immovable–and that may be a good experience or a not so good one, depending on what’s come to the emotional surface from the inner life (Pluto). A time when, whatever the outlook, it’s likely to be exaggerated.

My apologies for skipping Sunday; I have a bad cold and literally slept most of the day–sorry if it threw anyone off. ECLIPSE fills in when I’m not available, with forecasts for August, September, and October, special sections on events such as the upcoming Venus Retrograde, and much more! And many thanks to all who’ve already purchased ECLIPSE; I’ll be adding to the private page sometime this week–I’ll post it here (password at the end of the first article, on creativity, in the magazine). http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-summer-2010-eclipse/
