It may feel like we’re faced with a lot of new things today, even if that’s not technically so–take it easy. {{PD-Art}}

New Moon in Aries arrives at 7:36 AM PDT at 2 Aries 22. With this NM we may be, in modern lingo, branding ourselves, with the launch party for that brand coming at or near the Superior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury (27 May). It’s a time to think about ‘I am’, in the sense of who do you want to be?

2:30 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes Mars and semi-sextiles Chiron. The urge to get movin’ is all tangled up in old resentment and hurt, and perhaps a fear that our skills won’t be up to the challenge. It’s a retro Mars, we’re moving in the light of a fresh New Moon–just relax, nothing need be done yet. Anywhere.

4:30 PM PDT the Moon trines the Juno/ North Node conjunction, giving us a huge boost of personal authority, energy, and purpose. Go!

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 20 March 2012: ‘Inspecting Our Path’

6:30 AM PDT Luna (in Pisces) squares the Nodal axis, and Juno, which is conjunct the North Node, as well as opposes Mars. We may find ourselves ‘inspecting’ our Path, and pushing (with the emotions) strongly toward ‘moving on’ or the future; this impulse in some way contradicts what we’re doing now. The key is to examine our methodologies and cut ourselves some slack–there are reasons we are moving slowly, even clumsily, toward our goals at this time. No need to hurry. This gives us a chance to do a check-up that also allows us to forgive (Pisces) the humanness of that most important person, ourselves.

If they’d seen that sign sooner, they might’ve been inspired to take the train. From the work of the great Dorothea Lange, during her time with the Federal government 1937 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 4:40 PM PDT; the Moon enters Pisces at 5:05 PM Pacific time. First aspect is a conjunction to Neptune, at 7 PM-ish PDT. That unites the intuitive and feeling faculties with the creative essence–not our personal one, but the one we share with the Collective. It’s an excellent time to get inspired, to create, and especially to ‘feel around’ in the figurative ether and vet our ideas–we’ll know if something is unique to us or ‘in the air’, if we go looking–can also make for an ideal emotional interlude.

A Communion Portrait by Bastien-Lepage 1875 {{PD-Art}}

For Friday, the 16th:

3 PM PDT the Capricorn Moon squares Ceres; could indicate a conflict of female v. female, or very specifically, two mothers (or two spirits who have generated something unique and personal to themselves, and find themselves at odds). Issues of power, domain, and authority are parsed.

For Saturday, the 17th:

11:30 PM PDT the Aquarian Moon trines the South Node and creates a Finger of God with apex Mars and base of Moon/ Vesta. The past inspires us, perhaps even mesmerizes us, and may fuel the dedication of the emotional nature to our Highest Ideals, home, and/ or mate, which leads to successful (albeit muted, with the retro of Mars) action. This may not start out so great, in a nostalgic haze, but could end up making for a lovely interlude of communion and tenderness, where we are able to appreciate what gives us our emotional security in a rare and affecting way.

And for Sunday, the 18th:

11 AM PDT the Moon trines Zeus and squares Venus, suggesting that we’ll be given a chance to see just where fulfilling ambitions and wants will cost us. Or, dissonance in relationships or finances stirs us to get out there and work to make ambitions a reality. Or, following our desire nature (read ‘lust’) will put us into relationship conflict. Your choice.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 15 March 2012: ‘Old Messages, Old Hurts’

By Heath, from ‘Andersen’s Fairy Tales’ 1913 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 2 PM Pacific the Capricorn Moon semi-sextiles Juno and sextiles Chiron while squaring Mercury; we are made to feel we must take a step toward empowerment, but fear it may be easy to hurt ourselves and/or others. We don’t like these thoughts, but they are compulsory; what we need to know is that this is actually a review of old material, and perhaps old messages and old hurts. Though they may apply in the now (and be couched in current forms), they are echoes–so simply review without feeling compelled to do anything.

5:30 PM PST the Moon squares Vesta and quincunxes the South Node. We find reasons to repudiate our own Highest Values, or our home or intimate partner, and they are generally old saws we’ve used in the past. What are we thinking?! Thanks to Merc retro and current Moon ruler Saturn also on the backward burn, we’re not. Remember that question we’re asking for Merc retro,’What am I doing?’ Please take a short walk every time you’re tempted to throw your standards or a loved one under the bus.

Is it just me, or does that one rock look like a foot with some creative lookin’ toes?

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 14 March 2012: ‘A Periodic Check-Up’

'The Doctor's Visit' Steen c1660 {{PD-Art}}

5 PM Pacific the Sagittarius Moon squares the Sun/ Earth axis, putting us at emotional odds with our current identity and/ or direction. This is a periodic check-up that may or may not reveal true discrepancies in our stated v. actual life direction. Response is entirely up to us; smart money is on those who take these Lunar squares to the axis as early warning signs that can help prevent larger upsets.

11:30 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Saturn. We get an excellent emotional read on what we can rely on, on what’s solid and constructive (and by contrast, what’s not). A good influence under which to sort and eliminate less constructive influences.

Too late for any harm here--'The Autopsy' by Gabriel von Max 1869 {{PD-Art}}

9 AM PDT the Sagittarius Moon conjuncts Juno, squares Chiron, and trines Mercury. Oh, we are ready to tell it like it is–the question is, are we ‘right’, and is our audience ready to hear it? If we are accessing our Chirotic-flavored skills in the telling then yes, we are right, and we are acting from a place of true empowerment (which means we will do no harm); but if our talk springs from hurt, or is wrapped in the authority conveyed by our status or role, then no, we should keep it to ourselves–and in either case, the audience is on its own, though it would be good to consider whether those hearing the message will be in any way hurt by it–in which case they are not ready, and we should not take on the role of messenger.

5 PM PDT the Moon squares Pallas, putting us emotionally in conflict with something we know to be smart. What’s our resistance based on? Either believing we know better, or fear of social ridicule. Choose neither of those; do the smart thing, and live with the discomfort.

'The Shepherd's Dream' Fussli 1793 {{PD-Art}}

Void begins at 10:31 AM PDT; Moon enters Sagittarius at 10:53 PM PDT. Midnight, the Moon squares Neptune, making for upset to our fantasies or dreams, literal or figurative. A good time to confront the illusions we carry, and clear them away–we’ll have the emotional far-sightedness (Sagittarius) to do it.

Just a Little Astro Essence for Your Weekend 9-11 March 2012: ‘Strong Currents’

Lofoten Island Logorio 1895 {{PD-Art}}

For Friday the 9th:

7:30 PM PST the Libra Moon conjuncts Zeus, wedding the emotions to the ambitions and desires–a great pairing, in Libra, for pursuit of desires–just keep in mind that there’s at least one other, autonomous party involved, who has feelings and a viewpoint–with too much identification with the Moon/ Zeus combo, we could convince ourselves that those emotions and outlook are ‘alleged’, and too forcefully exert our Will.

For Saturday the 10th:

Void begins at 7:10 PM Pacific; the Moon enters Scorpio at 9:24 PM PST. 11 PM PST the Moon trines Neptune; the emotions are overwhelmed with a perceptual state that amounts to blindness, so thoroughly is the outside world, and thus new input, blocked. Immersed in feeling (and possibly intuition), we are moved– in our ‘blindness’ scenario it’s a flood of information through other sensory means–and what we are moved to is highly indicative of our ‘true’ feeling state–so take note.

And for Sunday the 11th:

One-ish we see the Scorpio Moon oppose Jupiter, and trine Pallas with Pluto at the midpoint. In our differences with society we find our own personal transformative wisdom. Know this is tailored to you; it won’t apply to others, their ‘wisdom’ may be quite unlike yours, and so not be recognizable to you at all. The other possibility is we seek to change our social relationship (probably hoping to lose ‘outsider’ status) by utilizing practical skills that can transform our position. Either response is useful.

From the Protected Page Mercury Retrograde Article; the shift comes at 12:49 AM PDT on the 12th

It may be easy to forget this is Mercury, not Mars (especially with Mars still doing his retro thing), but the reality is we will be dealing not with our actual actions, but with what we think of our actions, the theories behind our choices, and the form of the ‘I am’ we are considering and then asserting through choice and activity. Our mental stance will be what matters, and here’s the thing: if we have significant disconnect between our thoughts and our actions, we will be in deep trouble. This retro period will make obvious, to others if not to us, where our thinking does not align with, support, or even connect to our real-life behaviors. Some are in for a rude awakening (the kind only aggressive Aries can give!) that could bring personal crises to a head (or at least give them form and a deadline in the future, likely at the Superior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury after Merc is direct).

Full Moon in Virgo 8 March 2012: ‘The Coming-of-Age Moon’

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

All the while I was growing up, visiting the Taj Mahal was a goal; so far, still unfulfilled. 'Taj Mahal by Moonlight' Bartlett 1923 {{PD-Art}}

The Full Moon arrives on the 8th at 1:38 AM Pacific time at 18 Virgo 13. Using our strict 2 degree rule, the Full Moon itself only makes one aspect, a quincunx to Ceres, linking this culmination to harvest, both through Virgo and through the asteroid of nature and nurture. We reap what we’ve sown, plain and simple.

The Sabian for the Full Moon is, ‘A Swimming Race’ We couldn’t have it laid out more cleanly: we find out who won, in whatever venue we have been running a race, but likely connected in some way to the House axis across which this Full Moon lies. We also look at the Sun for a Full Moon: ‘A Master Instructing His Disciple’ This suggests the possibility that the ‘race’ in question is one we have been running with someone close to us, a ‘student’ or our own mentor. It may be time for the student to surpass the teacher, the one who was learning to now teach–in any case it suggests a change in roles that is solid, permanent, and that signifies new duties for all involved. The contact to Ceres links this very strongly to changes in authority, and possibly territory and responsibility, with overtones that what occurs here is an ancient story, the way of nature, or, to get all Disney on you, the circle of life 🙂
