Noon Pacific the Capricorn Moon trines Sedna and conjuncts Venus. We can connect deeply with the Love concept, and so with those around us, through spirit and the intense connections we all share through life-death-life. This can make for a beautiful and co-operative environment and an exercise of genuine sympathies, though don’t expect much to be overt–this is the kind of connecting that’s wordless, in the ether, and may result more in an atmosphere than in action. 9 PM PST the Moon trines Mars; taking action, especially constructive action or moving to restrict or deny (Cappy Moon) is easy, but so is getting angry or impatient when impediments surface. Channel the energy consciously into things that take a lot of brio and push, for best results. Void begins at 9:33 PM PST; the Moon enters Aquarius at 10:54 PM PST.
Today’s image is an inflatable beach ball. It’s typical that we try to make every moment ‘count’–even our meditation has a purpose. How long has it been since you engaged in something with no point whatsoever? Consider purposely setting aside a time each day to just be, perhaps with an activity that serves nothing and no one, including yourself. You may be surprised at what finds its way into that gap, introduces itself, and changes your life.

Void begins at 7:46 PM PST of the 3rd; the Moon enters Capricorn at 10:50 PM PST December 3.
4 December brings our first true reactions to the surface linked to the New Moon; we see our ‘new’ place in Nature, we begin to assess the costs of change (some of which we judge to be decidedly unwise at this point), and we look to express our uniqueness without doing anything stupid. We are really just beginning to consider serious change (even if we feel like that’s all we’ve been doing!); we will begin assessing relationships in terms of the contact (or lack of it) they make with us at a Soul level. Our thoughts range far and wide, examining the possibilities for expansion into the future, and we get direct, material ‘hints’ as to what’s coming (watch for signs, symbolisms, and synchronicities!) It really is a day to think about ‘What Will Be’. (Uranus quincunx Pallas, Venus trine Sedna, sesquiquadrate Pallas, Sun sextile Ceres, Mercury enters Sagittarius)

Willard Metcalf 1906 {{PD_Art}}
Dark of the Moon begins evening of the 29th; with a lessened energy impetus behind our doings, we should typically pull back and allow time for meditation, contemplation, healing, and reassessing our goals—this time is no exception. Consider that the Moon will be moving mostly through Scorpio during the Dark period, enhancing those activities that take place in the dark (sex, movies, burglary! and so on) and make introversion and rest that much more natural a response to the coming days—it also adds an element of secrets accidentally revealed through the unconscious, vindictiveness, and power-seeking to activities undertaken—so ‘do’ and participate with special attention and attentiveness.
30 November we must strike a delicate balance: we can express ourselves to a ‘T’ at this time in ways that are smart, unique, and that enhance our journey forward; but communication is a quagmire of missed connections and garbled messages—thoughts are deep (and deeply confused) but can’t be adequately conveyed, and if we try to let others know what we think we are likely to inadvertently hurt when we’re just trying to communicate. Our expressions will have to be non-verbal, a real challenge to Air types, and will be better shown through actions, physical creations, and episodes of pure feeling—that we’ll have to wait and share our thoughts on later.

27 November we get a great deal of support for going after our goals today, especially if those are attempts to realize ideas; we’re clear-headed, focused, and can get the help we need—just one problem: we may have to skirt the various authorities and power players who pop up along the way. The one big misstep we can make is to be unaware of who holds the real power in any situation, and we also must be aware of the relationship among powerful entities. If we do know our power matrix, we can make tremendous progress toward our aims, and could achieve something long-desired and significant in our quest, and our communications and ideas could result in rewards/ earnings.

‘A Picnic at Portofino’ George Spencer Watson 1911 {{PD-Art}}
26 November Wow! Today we get our heads on straight, almost magically, and we have no uncertainty about what matters most! Any confusion or dead ends pursued over the past few days can be easily swept aside (though of course, the goal is not to waste our time or efforts at all), and things can go very well, with one, big exception: the social sphere doesn’t help us out, in fact can be highly antagonistic, and so should be avoided. We see what’s wrong with the social order very clearly, but today’s just not the day to tackle a clean-up (Sun sextile Vesta, sesquiquadrate Jupiter)

‘Woman Visiting the Shrine at Night’ Suzuki Harunobu Edo Period 18th century {{PD}}
25 November there are two ways we can go: one is action and choices based on instinct and a mentality that is keenly attuned to reality and sees clearly any obstacles to our most effective means of empowerment—and the other is driven by fear of punishment by authorities and delusions about what love feels like. As I’m sure you see, one is top-notch for taking care of business and fostering good choices and healthy Self-esteem, and the other works out of pure woundedness, and so will prove to mess things up monumentally. Take a deep breathe, and don’t assume that either is in the works for you; you can determine which you fall under, and of course you want the positive spin, if you’ll only refuse to act out of fear, or in any way that will bring anything other than Love into your sphere.

19 November brings big, confident, or caring action, assertions of Will supported by the social sphere, and more energy than we are likely to be able to get our minds around, which means we’ll probably wear ourselves down to a nubbin. (Mars sextile Jupiter, Mercury quincunx Uranus, perfects today)

≈ Comments Off on The Lunar Essence + The Daily Image for 18 November 2013: Choose Transformation
Paul Klee ‘The Golden Fish’ {{PD-Art}}
4 AM PST of the 18th the Gemini Moon trines Ceres and quincunxes Mercury, making emotions flow in words and thoughts, and expressions of power and co-operation with authorities come ‘naturally’. Easy communication of what we feel happens without any effort–but if we want to keep our feelings to ourselves, better to spend a few hours in isolation, as Merc in Scorpio, Ceres in Libra, and Moon in Gemini are all motivated to share, and just can’t hide what they think. 8 AM PST the Moon sextiles Uranus; sudden shocks, surprises, and emotional outbursts may accompany intellectual exchange or group involvement. 9:30 AM PST the Moon squares Chiron and quincunxes Pluto. Destructive choices or rage hurt inadvertently–if we choose to see these as transformative, instead, we may find significant healing within what feels like an otherwise negative situation. 4 PM PST the Moon trines Juno and quincunxes Venus. Empowerment rests in being flexible, largely with ‘the rules’ we are used to in relationship or values. In this case, bending with the breeze is good, and won’t make for any permanent change, which is the fear that sparks our resistance in the first place. 9 PM PST the Moon quincunxes Saturn and trines Zeus. Now we’re asked to be flexible with reality itself, in service to fulfilling our ambitions or desires. Okay, why not?
Today’s image is a goldfish–swimming not in a bowl, but in the air! There’s something surreal about events and perceptions today–try to take it all in without reaction or judgment, and let all but what’s crucial to you in the moment go.

Venus-Pluto is, especially right now, an interesting combo; I’m imagining all that Pluto has unearthed in Capricorn now receiving a balm of Love–or will we instead see just what stirring up the status quo has cost? These two get together and the intensity, even in an Earth sign, can be overwhelming–we must ask, Why so serious?
No doubt about it, today and tomorrow we’ll spend scraping to the bone in relationships, and we may try to cut costs to their skeletal minimum; the impulse to excavate what we treasure may cause untold (even permanent) damage, but there’s also the chance that secrets that have moldered in the dark for far too long will come to light–and so might those sources of Love, Money, or those catalysts for change we have been unaware of or frightened of, until now.
The current meeting of Venus and Pluto in Capricorn may quite easily get all mixed up with other influences lingering near the same degree across the zodiac: Chiron, Uranus, even near midnight Pacific time, the Moon. Don’t accept erratic or wounding events as having a Venus-Pluto origin; if this duo wanted to wound, it would be fatal.
Don’t take anything in the Love or resources department for granted at this time, and certainly, if you can, shine a little love into the darkness; in Capricorn Venus-Pluto will embrace their passions and turn them into something solid, reliable, sturdy–and sometimes that’s much better than just stealing kisses in the dark.
