Ceres, an allegory of August, fresco by Cosme Tura c1480 {{PD-Art}}

7:30 AM PDT the Virgo Moon opposes Ceres in Pisces; here we have two sets of feeling, nurturing, and maternally-keyed energies facing off against each other–and this could prove to be an incredibly rough showdown. One side (Ceres) clearly will feel it has the advantage of authority, whether that is conferred through age, position, status, or is primal (Mom!) while the other side (Moon) will be all-feeling and perhaps intuitively already privy to what the other side wants to share or state–yet feels vulnerable, as what opposes inherently carries power (or at least, presents resistance and a differing point of view) over the individual or side that is ‘junior’ (the Moon) in some way. This can also be a clash of maturity, where the over reaching of boundaries on the one side clashes with a recently developed Self-possession on the other.

The Essence for 30 August 2011: Are You Dull or is it Just Me?

Moon in Libra, Moon in Virgo, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

We may have some serious doubts about our own depths today. Godward 1906 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 10:20 AM PDT; Moon enters Libra at 11:25 AM PDT. Our first aspect doesn’t arrive until around 2:30 PM PDT when the Moon quincunxes Chiron. Fresh in Libra, our feelings will likely be focused on a partner, or on aesthetics–and when the Lunar sensitivity hits Chiron, we’ll ‘feel the burn’ of just how and where Libran urges are failing to be fulfilled. Note what comes forward, as it will show us what we may be feeling but pushing below the surface for the sake of harmony (that’s oh-so-Libran!) Remember information is power, and most particularly, it’s power over our own behavior.

By 4 PM PDT the Moon opposes Uranus. There are one of two main possibilities: either we feel very much at odds with the group, or we may be feeling decidedly dull, as if all the excitement is ‘out there.’ Partnerships may lack ‘juice’ and we may perceive our aesthetics as incredibly ordinary. This is just a perception; avoid judging yourself or anything else at this time. Editorial work, anything involving artistic judgment, attempts at innovation, exploitation of the Higher Mind, all must wait until a later point to be effective. Just relax for a while; enjoy yourself, and don’t fret–accessing mental acuity isn’t on the agenda right now.

2:30 PM PDT the Virgo Moon will sexitle Mars–now our action urge is aligned with our emotional perceptions; the intuition serves as guide. An excellent aspect for athletic competition, particularly for those whose natal chart is touched by one or the other body.

The Weekend Essence for 27-28 August 2011: ‘A Merry-Go-Round’

There must be a merry-go-round somewhere; in the meantime, enjoy the show. Lautrec 1887 {{PD-Art}}

The 27th

Just past 7 AM PDT the Moon sextiles h.Zeus, stirring up the emotions in service of the ambitions and desires–uh-oh–then just before 9 AM Pacific the Moon sextiles Saturn (with a following shove from semi-sextile Mars). This is a set of aspects that screams, “Look out! I’m going after what I want!” It’s a huge push to go for it, with all the accompanying potential of overlooking the details (discovered when the Moon hits Virgo) or running over others in the process (revealed when the Moon reaches Libra). I’m not saying don’t grab this wave of enthusiasm and ride it for all it’s worth–I’m just saying if and when you do, be as cognizant as possible of the positions and needs of others, as these may be quite tender, and easily crushed.

The 28th

The 28th we have the New Moon for August at 8:03 PM Pacific time at 5 Virgo 27. The NM is just 3 ½ degrees from Venus; she obviously whizzed past without a care for the Solar energy she’d been so close to just a week before. This suggests to me that we must widen our orb for this NM, or be left in the dust! So, the NM enjoys a conjunction to Venus, a trine to Pluto, an opposition to Chiron, and, best of all, forms a loosey-goosey apex to a Finger of God with base of Uranus/ Vesta. The picture here is complicated, which probably reflects the response we will have to this new energy point; this is the seed point, the birth, of something that may consist of information, news, or an idea that will offer access to a ‘harvest’ (the reward itself) or a methodology (that gives access to a reward or payoff), or consists of another Virgoan matter (such as service of one kind or another, a job or accounting, etc.) that offers a chance of reward.

The Sabian is apt, and describes perfectly the roundabout atmosphere that I anticipate we’ll experience: ‘A Merry-Go-Round.’ I don’t know that there’s anything more to add, except that the image does suggest some excitement, and a dizzying sense that could easily disorient us. Just keep in mind: New Moons are beginnings, and that means we may not see the oak before the acorn is planted, nurtured, and allowed to grow–in other words, don’t expect to see the end result at this point. That’s not to say that there isn’t some routing to be done, some cleaning and clearing and tidying up–Pluto is involved, after all–but the main thrust is compelling, somewhat out of our hands or our control, and mostly quite positive. So that’s good.

The Essence for 2 August 2011: Blame It On Virgo

Hughes pre-1915 {{PD-Art}}

All quiet on the Lunar front until 2 PM PDT, when the Moon creates a T-square with the Nodal axis, followed at 3:30 PM PDT by the Moon’s trine to Sedna. This suggests a bit of an emotional showdown over life direction (and this can be internal or external), and then, perhaps out of some resentment that we have to face this question at all, we easily ‘blank out’–there may be a concerted effort to ignore what we might term ‘irritants to the conscience’–not that we necessarily have anything to ‘look’ at–it’s more like we just think we should be fussing over details or taking an accounting–just blame it on the Virgo Moon :/

The Essence for 1 August 2011: Freak Factor

31 Sunday Jul 2011

Moon in Virgo, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Caracci 16th century

8 AM PDT the Moon opposes Chiron and quincunxes Uranus (and semi-sextiles Venus for several hours, making our relationships the centerpiece); will we recognize our tendency to hurt others, or will we lash out without really comprehending our ulterior motives? Whatever we do, it will be done without the realization that we are criticizing or becoming angry based on our own pain, and our own deficiencies; we’re not really seeing others at this time, and our critique may concern those things about ourselves that strike us as causing us to be rejected by others. Our own ‘freak factor’ comes forward and, to avoid the major part of the pain, we try to pin it on someone else. Embrace your uniqueness and miss the unpleasantness.

The Essence for 6 July 2011: Observe But Don’t Act

Moon in Libra, Moon in Virgo, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

If we can just bide our time for a bit . . . 'Nono and a guitar' by Lebasque c.1910 {{PD-Art}}

By 9:30 AM PDT the Moon is conjunct Juno and square the Nodal axis. We want to be empowered, we want to effect the life direction, and yet . . . the emotions are too attached to what is, to material results and solid means of changing things. We want to feel the effectiveness–and that’s just not reasonable with emotional and intuitive energies. This may (mis-)lead some in the wrong empowerment direction, so insistent are they on making progress, but we’d all be better off showing restraint–as it is, we can get a good vantage of both where we’ve been and where we’re going–the problem is that empowerment options seem at odds with the chosen direction. Observing but not acting is the key.

Void begins 8:12 PM PDT. The Moon enters Libra at 8:54 PM Pacific time. The first aspect is, of course, a quincunx to Neptune that says we may face deception, idealism, fantasy, delusions, or the fruits of creativity, likely presented to us by a partner or through aesthetics (Libra). What do we do? Adjust, of course! This does seem an interim marker; take note of what we experience here, as it’s indicative of a growing trend–and may signal coming events along these same lines.

The Essence for 5 July 2011: Adjusting to What’s Wise, Adjusting to What’s Sacred

'The Temple of Minerva' by Miller 1829 {{PD-Art}}

2:30 PM Pacific the Moon quincunxes Pallas; the emotional outlook must adjust to what we know is wise. This is a good moment to re-align our perceptions, as it will be very clear in what way we’re off base. 4:30 PM the Moon trines Earth/ sextiles the Sun, and we get an effective grounding through the emotional perceptions or through the intuition. Just after midnight the Moon quincunxes Vesta, requiring emotional adjustment in honor of those things we find most sacred–we may need to curb the emotional reaction in response to events in the home or in intimate relationship, in order to preserve what we have built and value.

The Essence for 9 June 2011: Creative Is As Creative Does

Moon in Libra, Moon in Virgo, My Daily Astrology Diary, The Astro Essence

Decamps 1833 {{PD-Art}}

Moon enters Libra 3:31 PM PDT. This forms a Finger of God with a base of Jupiter sextile Neptune, as well as a trine to Venus. This suggests that if we are working the social arena and/ or the expansion plans well in co-operation with either the creative flow and/ or our most characteristic Neptunian energies (see the natal chart for details on this) we will open the intuition wide and strong, especially as it applies to the Arts, to aesthetics, and to relationship (Libra). Can earn, open to reward, embrace love, or, in a worst case scenario, become jealous of what you think others have. Just remember, you don’t know what it’s like to be them :)

Subscribers, please see the full analysis on the protected page, and watch for a new password coming in an EXTRA! to you.

Thank you, and have a great day!

The Essence for 8 June 2011: Listen

Intuition may wear little wings and no pants. Ferdinand Leeke {{PD-Art}}

Keep in mind Venus is in the 29th degree of one of her own signs, and none-too happy about leaving it for the airy, chatty Gemini. Expect some mild crises in relationships, material matters, or financial ones, with the emphasis likely on whether they are providing that Taurean reassurance we value right now.

Just after 9 AM PDT the Virgo Moon squares Mercury in Gemini, making for conflicts that seem as if they’re grounded in facts, details, and accounting, but they’re really emotional, pure and simple. Everyone may be too quick to speak their minds; in fact, we’re likely to speak before we know our minds. Caution is in order.

6 PM Pacific the Moon conjoins Juno and the two are an arm to a T-square with the Sun/ Earth axis. The current Juno position suggests we have been seeking empowerment through reflection on and working on life purpose and the material circumstances that will advance our agenda; now the Moon comes along and chimes in: we are given an emotional take on our efforts and the situation, and a bonus: intuition is now speaking, loud and clear, offering a precise and detailed critique. Listen.
