'The Card Players in an Interior' by Jan Steen c1660 {{PD-Art}}

‘The Card Players in an Interior’ by Jan Steen c1660 {{PD-Art}}

This is a sampling of the detailed hour-by-hour Lunar forecast (plus much more on the aspects) available in ECLIPSE Weekly for only $5 month–or for the same cost you can get the Daily Word, each day’s complete forecast sent ahead of time to your email–and if you can read email on your phone, you never have to be without!

Remember, Lunar aspects span at least 4 hours before exact, and around 4 hours after.

7 PM PDT of the 14th the Virgo Moon sextiles Saturn and opposes Neptune. This may be a very sensitive point, when intuiting something previously completely hidden about our reality picture can happen–and we may find ourselves vigorously denying it or rejecting what we’ve discovered. No matter what’s revealed, have the courage to see reality–it’s the only way to fly.

3 AM Pacific time of the 15th the Moon squares Pallas, and good sense flies out the window–take note. 5 AM PDT the Moon trines Pluto and squares Mars, making for easy emotional volatility and the kind of actions taken that ‘kill’ feelings (and so relationships) for good. Destruction is just too effortless a path to go down at this time, though if you’re looking to change something or remove something from your life, now’s the time; but, actions bring conflict, so laying low might be the behavior of choice. 8 AM PDT the Moon quincunxes Uranus, making for difficult-to-accept surprises, shocks, and intellectual assertions. Skepticism and/ or indignation might be the result in those truly shaken up. By 10 AM PDT the Moon opposes Chiron and it all hangs out: hurt, past nasties, criticism, nit-picking, and the chance that all concerned will split into ‘the rational’ (that’s their label) and ‘the dreamers’ (who name themselves as well). Bitterness is the result, as neither side understands (or cares to understand) the viewpoint of the other. Try to stay out of any between-group exchanges–those could get rough–with everything else, the best course might be to withhold active judgment and/ or to surround yourself with the like-minded, just for now. 2 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Venus, perhaps throwing us off our game with some sudden sweetness in life–just enjoy it. 10 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Mercury and quincunxes Juno; we may communicate with the goal of gaining our own empowerment, but almost inevitably, this may make others feel threatened. Be as non-assertive in your assertions as possible!

We’re looking at an interesting Finger of God right now, with base of Chiron-SN, apex hZeus. This suggests that past wounds may act to prevent realization of ambitions and desires at this time. Be as aware as possible of those ‘fingers from the past’ that may slip into the now, and hold us in place–knowing they’re there is the only way to be free of them.

16 June sees no new aspects come to exactitude; but of course, the Moon never rests. 1:30 AM PDT of the 16th the Moon sextiles Vesta, re-instilling our highest values through feeling and emotional perception. 9 AM PDT the Moon squares the Sun-Earth axis, bringing out emotional issues around life direction. This is a chance to see around what issues our emotional being is still having trouble with acceptance, or is signaling something we thought was okay is really unacceptable. There’s no easy way to tell the difference between the two, though for most the issue will be instantly recognizable. 1 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Ceres and squares Jupiter. This could manifest as taking the female/ anima/ or receptive side in some dispute, or we could find ourselves ‘taking our marbles and going home’, feeling that the social sphere is unsupportive. In any case, who holds what power will be the topic of the day, and someone is sure to have hurt feelings, when it’s all over. Void begins 2:27 PM Pacific time; the Moon enters Libra at 6:19 PM PDT.

'Jetty at Low Tide aka the Walter Pier' Joseph DeCamp before 1923 {{PD-Art}}

‘Jetty at Low Tide aka the Walter Pier’ Joseph DeCamp before 1923 {{PD-Art}}

Bits from the current ECLIPSE:

Around 5 PM PDT of the 17th the Leo Moon moves into a unique position: she ends up filling in a Fist of God as she squares the Sun (apex Pluto) and the Earth (apex Uranus). This double fist suggests an excessive amount of action and/ or tension in play, with the emotions or intuition fueling identity issues the result in change, transformation, or destruction, and with emotions or intuition fueling reaction to material matters that creates radicalism, upset, revolution, or that spurs originality and ‘forward thinking’. It’s certainly a day when anything really can happen–be ready.

18 May we may find ourselves and others hedging bets; relationships sparkle with surprises and ‘fresh’ interaction, but carry depths of danger, rage, or a serious interest in creating change, while communication is deceptive, confusing, or centered on fantasies, and even the most direct and honest of us will land slightly askew of reality. Caution will come naturally to most of us as we sense the riptide beneath otherwise gentle social and emotional currents. Accept the positive while remaining aware that shocks, deception, and some scary depths could wait just around the corner. (Venus sextile Uranus, quincunx Pluto, Mercury square Neptune, quincunx Saturn)

A little bit of Lunar essence for Sunday the 19th, also from ECLIPSE:

3 AM PDT of the 19th the Moon opposes Chiron, either making us hard as steel (“Nothing can hurt me!”) or melding us so completely with our pain we feel we are one. In either case, our best course of action is to ask ourselves ‘why?’–why do we hurt from this? why do we continue to live this moment as if it’s still happening? why don’t we let it go? 9 AM PDT the Moon trines the South Node and quincunxes Juno. Something from the past may cause us to stumble in implementing our own empowerment; take a critical stance, don’t just accept memories as accurate or still valid. 6 PM PDT the Moon squares Jupiter and trines Mars, making us keen to act but perhaps rubbing the social circle the wrong way. We are likely to be critical of others in justifying our own actions, but we need to remember, no justification is required, though we do need to make choices we can live with later. 9:30 PM PDT the Moon trines Sedna, pulling us deep into contemplation or Self-reflection, or blanking us out in escape mode. Neither is more virtuous, though we should keep in mind that if we’ve been avoiding looking closely at ourselves, now really is the time, as something productive will come out of it.

This is called 'The Cheat With the Ace of Clubs', so I don't know how satisfied they'll all be, in the end. By Georges de la Tour c1632 {{PD-Art}}

This is called ‘The Cheat With the Ace of Clubs’, so I don’t know how satisfied they’ll all be, in the end. By Georges de la Tour c1632 {{PD-Art}}

Here are a few bits ‘n pieces from the current ECLIPSE; order now to receive much more, Weekly or Daily! Includes your personal Solar Return Glimpse Ahead for 6 Month subscribers!

23 March sees contradictory energies prominent: on the one hand, the social circle tries to buck tradition, expansion meets barriers, and broadcasting meets censorship, but individuals, especially those with Fire sign Suns, feel empowered, and this is in spite of a sense that serious adjustment must be made to the life Path (Jupiter quincunx Saturn, Sun sextile Juno and sesquiquadrate the North Node). It must be noted that material matters will be the best guide to empowerment at this time for all Sun signs; don’t take it for granted or go on faith, instead take physical facts and material realities to heart–the only way to get where we want to go is to know where we’re starting from.

24 March Void begins 3:45 AM PDT; the Moon enters Virgo at 8:50 AM PDT.  2 PM PDT the Moon forms a Finger of God with base of Venus-Juno with Neptune at the base midpoint, and of course apex Moon. This looks to me like an incredibly fertile time for creative endeavors of any kind, including earning, innovating, and the Arts, and all steps taken at this time will be both empowering and satisfying.

25 March we may divide into two camps: the Satisfied and the Frustrated. I’ll bet you already know which camp you’ll be planting your bedroll in. The satisfied group will act effectively, be optimistic and pleasant, and make good progress, while the frustrated group will have a problem only because they will push push push with their egos and find a lack of co-operation available and most avenues to go forward cut off. In addition, those in authority may hassle you. Eliminate the insistent and Self-absorbed cries of the ego, and you too can be in the Satisfied Club. I’ll see you there! (Venus sextile Juno, Mars quincunx Saturn).

'Surprised' by Rousseau 1891 {{PD-Art}}

‘Surprised’ by Rousseau 1891 {{PD-Art}}

4 AM PST the Virgo Moon quincunxes Pallas; here we go with the emotions and intuition uneasy with what we know to be wise. This may be the kick-off for questioning of our values, defying what’s smart out of a sense that this may only be holding us back. Nope, it’s not. The larger influences today are simply disruptive–we’d be smart, at least for now, to avoid the kind of thinking that is sure there’s something better ‘out there’. 9:30 AM PST the Moon opposes Mercury-Mars and trines the South Node. More trouble, this time in the form of aggressive words or thoughts, egos that spout folderol, actions that support pure fantasy rather than fact, and we draw on the past as our ‘proof’ that all this is a good idea. Oy. The intuition is likely extremely unhappy at this point, telling you in no uncertain terms to stay away from all this talk and all these moves–and you would be smart to do so. 1 PM PST the Moon squares Ceres. Even Mother Nature is irked. Don’t expect a harvest at this time, don’t take anyone’s inventory (in the Bill W sense), don’t criticize, and for gosh sakes don’t hand out lists for ‘How to Improve ‘X”! Nobody’s in the mood for that Virgo Moon stuff. 3 PM PST the Moon trines Sedna–blissful escape! OR we become distraught as things flatten out and nothing seems to have much meaning anymore. Let it pass. 8 PM PST the Moon trines Juno. Listen to the emotions/ intuition–at this time they will guide you unerringly to an empowering scenario.

Void begins 8:39 PM Pacific time; the Moon enters Libra at 5:02 AM PST of the 27th.

Though I can't be certain, this postcard is probably pre-WW I German--the lucky mushrooms give it away!

Though I can’t be certain, this postcard is probably pre-WW I German–the lucky mushrooms give it away!

December 31st brings some kind of energy pile-up, as if all the leftovers for the year are being served today! And this may be how it feels, that it is necessary to deal with many of these influences so that the new year can start with a clean slate–and this is a more accurate perception than we might be willing to credit. For instance, Mercury enters Capricorn and sextiles Neptune, giving us a kind of shiny, optimistic hope for the future that’s grounded in realism, and Earth is sesquiquadrate the North Node while the Sun is sesquiquadrate the South; major efforts today will be put into making a positive material path into the future, while our attention may linger on all that was wrong with ‘What Was’. A useful exercise if we don’t become mired in it.

1 January 2013 is quiet–no, really, it is–with only the Sun quincunx Vesta to ruffle the new year. We’ll probably review what’s really important to us, vow to honor it–the usual pledge–and of course this time we insist we mean it.

4 AM PST the Moon quincunxes Pallas, requiring us to adjust the emotional outlook to what’s smart; we might otherwise have been tempted by a need for attention (Leo Moon) to do something definitely unwise.

Void begins at 5:12 AM PST; the Moon enters Virgo at 9:35 AM Pacific time.

Jean Dodal Tarot 'The Tower' {{PD}}

Jean Dodal Tarot ‘The Tower’ {{PD}}

Post 10 PM PST of the 5th the Cancer Moon squares Jupiter, giving us an impulse to pull back from expansion activities, probably out of fear. If transiting Jupiter is aspecting any major players in your chart, you need to assess the relationship–if it’s good (easy aspects like trines or sextiles, or in mutual reception with your natal Mercury, or reaching the Midheaven) then the fear may be a little thing I like to call the fear of SUCCESS. Although that’s really a misnomer (we tend to stay far away from what we truly fear) it is akin to the scary sensation of climbing a tower and looking down–we think about how we might fall, rather than that we’ve made it to the top–so you must decide if it’s just this misleading fear, or if it’s a genuine warning to take a step back.

‘Breton Women in the Meadow’ Bernard 1888 {{PD-Art}}

From the current ECLIPSE:

10:30 AM PST the Virgo Moon trines Pluto, giving us the opportunity for emotional housecleaning and successful reforms–take it. 10:30 PM PST the Moon squares Jupiter; we may suddenly find ourselves at odds with the social circle–best approach is to take it easy–you’re unlikely to change them, so rather than upset yourself fruitlessly you might want to look at ways to expand your reach that don’t involve seeking social approval.

We may not be able to choose our own poison, today. ‘Circe and Sylla’ shows how the enchantress Circe poisoned the waters in which the handmaiden Sylla was to bathe; geesh, it was all over a guy. by Strudwick 1886 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 2:28 PM PST; the Moon enters Virgo at 9:35 PM PST of the 7th.

The Virgo Moon immediately opposes Neptune, separating the men from the boys, as they used to say–and by that I mean, we’ll find ourselves on one side or the other of a wide divide: we’ll either be firmly ensconced in fantasy, delusion, deception, or a vibrant and vivid creativity, or we’ll be highly sensitive, highly emotional, and highly focused on details, and possibly very critical as a result. I’m not sure we’ll be able to choose our poison, in this instance; we may just realize where we stand in the midst of it, as both alternatives are highly reactive ones.

The above is from ECLIPSE; order now and get the ECLIPSE eclipse issue!

‘The Peaks of Europe’ Carlos de Haes 1876 {{PD-Art]]

The 22nd of June kicks off our weekend (or wraps up our work week, or however you want to look at it!) with some complex and unavoidable questions of power, empowerment, authority, and control; who really holds it within a relationship will come into stark relief, and only a sense of the worth of the relationship itself, and/ or a sense of generosity or wisdom, will keep us out of a tangle. Pallas sesquiquadrate Juno invites us to question the wisdom of those ‘in charge’, while Vesta opposed Juno may stoke the fires of ‘my values are better than your values, what I care about and am committed to is superior to your petty status and influence concerns’–not an ally-winning statement, whether it’s spoken or just seeps out of one’s pores. But, our saving grace is Venus, still retro but reluctant to be, moving so very slowly, sextiling Pallas, and perhaps showing us in a slightly backhanded but no less charming way what’s really the smart approach here.

And there’s more!

The 23rd will be a busy day, a tense one, and may result in major change. Vesta perfects conjunction to Sedna, essentially removing our Higher Values compass; the most likely result may be that suddenly we are either uncaring of those things we normally revere, or we are unable to pinpoint them. This can be disastrous.

So finally:

Moon enters Virgo at 4:43 AM PDT of the 24th. Right away there’s a square to Ceres; the emotions, in critical-accounting mode, are immediately challenged to stand up for themselves in the face of those who believe their territory extends under our own skin! So we start off in defensive mode–and maybe it’s better that way.

The Via Dolorosa, Jerusalem Lantern slide taken between 1898 and 1946 photographer unknown {{PD}}

This is an excerpt from ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest, your place for daily forecasts with all the planets and lights (you too, Pluto!) asteroids Chiron, Vesta, Juno, Pallas, Ceres, Sedna, and Zeus, and all the Lunar contacts–if you’re here daily, even a couple times a week, subscribe now! and get it delivered to your email every Thursday. Thank you, and have a great mid-week!

For the 29th: 4 PM PDT the Virgo Moon trines Sedna. It’s easy to forget our troubles; take the vacation any way you can get it. 10:30 PM PDT the Moon trines Jupiter and sextiles Juno. For some reason it’s much easier to identify with the powerful philanderer than it is to sympathize with the one who’s been wronged.  If you feel like this, just try not to express it, as you know it’s a terrible contradiction to decent (and by that I mean your) values–and nobody needs a shame hangover in the morning.

Void begins at 10:51 PM PDT; Moon enters Libra at 3:46 AM PDT of the 30th.

The 30th is the day we see Mercury trine Zeus and square Mars. Yikes! Ambition and desire will drive interaction and communication, and we won’t be reluctant to wield a hammer (or spear, or tongs, or tweezers, or stapler, or fork, or any other metal instrument) in our quest to get what we want. If very carefully guided, this could give a tremendous boost forward–but most of us are just not that good as drivers. 😦
