'Ariadne Watching the Struggle of Theseus With the Minotaur' by Henry Fuseli c1817 {{PD-Art}}

‘Ariadne Watching the Struggle of Theseus With the Minotaur’ by Henry Fuseli c1817 {{PD-Art}}

All the Lunar action this time around is contained within one quarter of the flat chart, between the NM in Pisces and its farthest aspect, a square to Ceres. This defines the activity as stressful, and possibly contentious, with the ‘new light’ of the Moon (a revelation, an idea, a new beginning) in conflict with Power and authority, with what up to now has been the ‘natural’ order, and the necessity of negotiation is obvious, indeed. Caught between the two we have Sedna in sextile the NM, and a semi-sextile from Pallas, which we normally wouldn’t count, except that it seems to comment so crisply on developments: we may be unaware of the depth of the power struggle that starts here; it likely plays on some deeply seated natural facets and long-ingrained beliefs about role and conduct (Sedna) that are at the heart of the conflict, though not obvious on the surface, and certainly about which we are likely unaware consciously (at least in terms of how they figure in to the power situation). Pallas tells us that it may be wise to allow this conflict to happen at this time–to smooth things out might push them down to fester for another day, not a good thing at all.

For the complete NM picture, plus lots more, please subscribe. I plan on taking the blog in a much more bloggy direction, with more commentary on current events and people, or general astrology, and less emphasis on bits of forecast or current astro ‘weather’, which is already available in the newsletter. This is a great ‘Wishin’ Moon’–grab a Pisces and maybe your dream will come true!

New Moon in Aquarius 9 February 2013: ‘The Requirements of Our Nature’

The Orion Nebula--Thanks, NASA!

The Orion Nebula–Thanks, NASA!

The New Moon in Aquarius occurs at 11:20 PM PST at 21 Aquarius 43 and squares the Nodal axis, along with Sedna (which is conjunct the SN), and quincunxes Ceres–and that’s all (according to our strict 2 or so degree allowed orb). This suggests that what is conceived at the NM is something we are unaware of, which will speak of the depths of our individuality (Sedna), that will figure in to determining our life course (Nodes), and which will be dictated by our nature, specifically by the Ceres traits expressed by the power we hold, the influence we exercise, our relationships to those for whom we are responsible, the function of negotiation, and our natural environment, to include our own role as a Being within Nature.

We do know it will begin something–and this something will start a ‘learning curve’ for us that will play out in a way that re-defines our sense of power, our influence, our reach, and some of our relationships, with all of it speaking very specifically to us as unique individuals.

Just a Little Astro & New Moon Essence: ‘Decidely Unwise’

December 12th the big news is Venus conjunct the North Node. Doesn’t seem like a big deal, but for some it will make for a definitive moment concerning values, wealth, or relationships. Direction in one or more of these areas will be set. Look to the House where this occurs in your chart, as well as any aspects it makes (from 25 Scorpio)in order to know the possible impact.

 

New Moon occurs December 13th at 12:41 AM PST at 21 Sagittarius 44

The New Moon squares Pallas and quincunxes Sedna, making no other aspects under a three degree orb, though we might consider a semi-square to Saturn, as this could be a wise choice, giving us our ‘doorway’ into reality for NM energies. Sag is about knowledge and the sharing of such, and in square to the symbol of wisdom and practical skills, and quincunx the ‘blind spot’ of the chart, it could signal a point when what is ‘born’ with the NM energy is something decidedly unwise, a parcel of misinformation (as it doesn’t seem deliberately malicious) that affects our reality situation, possibly through putting up unwarranted barriers, slowing or stopping progress, or repressing some element that was on its way to expression. This is so very contradictory to the typical NM scenario, where we are seeing the initiation of something much more positive, that it’s difficult to believe that a New Moon may leave us in such a problem state–but there it is. The worst thing is we will not realize that what we’re deal with is an unwise viewpoint–and of course that’s where all the danger lies.

A Little Something on the Upcoming Eclipse 13 November 2012: ‘Senseless Sport’

‘Right and Left’ Homer 1909 {{PD-Art}}

New Moon of November 13th at 2:07 PM Pacific Standard time at 21 Scorpio 56 is a Solar eclipse

The Sabian for the eclipse is, ‘Hunters Shooting Wild Ducks’. This suggests something free and wild stalked by, and possibly destroyed by, something predatory–and the something predatory is equipped with ‘arms’ and ‘ammo’ against which the hunted is essentially defenseless. The ‘wild things’ are frightened from their protective cover, made to flee in the hope that they can protect themselves by getting away. Though it may seem obvious, we should note that duck hunting is a very deliberate, planned activity; one does not just happen to take one’s hunting rifle when one is out for a stroll, just happen to flush ducks from their cover, and think, ‘Well, maybe I’ll take a crack at those!’ We must be aware that this may be the underlying state of the previously described conflict (in an earlier paragraph): that the conflict could in fact be one where one party seeks to ‘ambush’, take by surprise, or take advantage of the other. Duck hunting, we must acknowledge, doesn’t very often result in duck on the dinner table–it is instead much more considered, however inappropriately, ‘sport’, and there’s a good chance that if you find yourself as the stalkee, this could indeed be the attitude of the stalk-er. That will make it both very hard to make sense of things, and impossible to drag a reason for such aggression out of the stalk-er; feeling his or her power, they are unlikely to feel the need to justify their choice.

Cartel Tierra, generously released into the public domain by Tavoanguiano

The Libra New Moon occurs at 5:02 AM Pacific time of the 15th at 22 Libra 32

Using our usual strict 2 degree orb, we find only a quincunx to Sedna, and a semi-square to Juno–if we stretch to 3, we are able to add that trine to Vesta, which may be key to understanding the whole thing. A New Moon is a beginning, a dawning, and so may be a point when certain things (indicated by aspects to the NM) are revealed or occur to us. In this case, we may have been dealing with, even struggling, with a certain depth-note of our consciousness, one that applies to our own understanding of the life-death-life cycle and our role in it, specifically in the way we ‘die to’ different aspects of our lives, dive deep in a kind of meditative consideration of what is, then are renewed, somewhat changed from what we once were. This change is always aligned with, even dictated by, our highest values, the Vestal attributes of deep intimate relationship, home, dedication to a cause or ideal, and respect for these. This New Moon is the moment of renewal; we come up from the depths, draw in a deep, healing, re-initiating breath, and we see just where we are, where the changes are, and who we are, now. Aspects suggest that adjustments prompted by our go-deep exploration (NM qnx Sedna) will help smooth out impediments to empowerment (NM semi-sq Juno), and this will be accomplished by living our highest ideals, actually by seeing them shape the ‘new’ parts of the Self mobilized, as symbolized by Vesta.

New Moon in Gemini 19 June 2012: ‘Our Conversation With Nature’

Windswept by Waterhouse {{PD-Art}}

From the current ECLIPSE, on the New Moon in Gemini:

The New Moon arrives at 8:02 AM PDT of the 19th of June at 28 Gemini 43. The New Moon makes no aspects at all, unless we count a semi-sextile from Ceres, and we do; we need something that tells us what this is about. We must also consider the Sabian Symbol for this NM: ‘The First Mockingbird of Spring’ What these two tell us is that this is all about our ‘conversation’ (Gemini) with nature; and by that I mean, the way in which each of us relates to and is a part of the natural order. This New Moon promises a birth, a ‘new’ role for each of us in relation to the natural world; what role will it be for you?

The gift of the New Moon in Taurus–okay, yeah, it might get a little weird! {{PD-Art}}

Here’s a little of what I had to say in the latest ECLIPSE Weekly about the New Moon in Taurus, occurring at 12:18 AM PDT of the 21st at 1 Taurus 35:

“The New Moon is a point of origin, and in Taurus we are focused on  the material, and on our security, and all that this implies: food, shelter, sex, and death may all figure in to this formula in countless guises. The aspects suggest that the NM will help us strike a bond with nature, that the NM’s light will birth our own most natural power position in the world, and that we will both act to make this felt and act to defend the revelations that come. We can create this in the form of a dream or ideal, if we can stay clear with the reality that already exists; too, with its position in Taurus, the NM will on its own create a new material power position for each of us, one that allows us to express the ‘I am’ in physical terms that manifest in a statement that quite literally has a material component.”

Your clue to the Sabian for this New Moon: 

And about this weekend:

For the 20th:

“The 20th sees the Moon hit Vesta and oppose Saturn, infusing the opposition with emotional or intuitive insight keyed to respecting the highest values. This can be very useful ; centering in Love and highest thought will show you where your reality needs to change to fit more closely to your ideals.”

New Moon on the 21st, then on the 22nd:

“On the 22nd Ceres perfects her quincunx to the North Node, Mercury conjuncts Uranus, and the Sun sextiles Neptune; these all carry on the theme of the New Moon concerning power, sudden revelation, and the ideals, but this time those ideals are not the sacred things in life, but the ones we dream of, and the creative power we command to make those dreams reality. Again, we’re seeing the idea of an extended impact of the New Moon, and further, we see that what happens is once again a combination of external events and our creative actions and responses to them.”

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!

The New Moon of 22 January 2012: ‘The Forgiveness Moon’

From the newsletter:

The New Moon was at 11:38 PM PST at 2 Aquarius 41. This Moon marks the Chinese New Year, as it’s always timed to the first New Moon in Aquarius; I think of it as a second, mini-New Year, with all the ‘fresh start’ potential brought forward for secondses–it’s a point where we can refine our New Year beginnings, and this is a helpful point of view for those who tend to overreach in the resolution department, or who carry too high an expectation for instant renovation and renewal. I think, then, that we should call this ‘The Forgiveness Moon’, with the emphasis on being understanding of ourselves.

The New Moon makes a semi-sextile to Chiron and a sextile to Uranus and Ceres, which are now conjunct. The NM touches Jupiter by square, reflecting the one area of discord in our scenario. The overall picture is of inceptions that are unique personal power expressions, a direct manifestation of the authority one holds and the individuality at its most characteristic, and these may hurt us (either treading on the primal wound, or injuring via the feedback we receive from the social arena) or call forth our unique skills keyed to our Chiron energies, offering healing to others (and the Self through expression)–and maybe both of these effects, hurt and healing expression, show up at once. The location of the NM in Aquarius, plus the way the Chiron contact is minor (and thus signaling that it’s more a side effect of the NM event, rather than a focus) tells us that the intellect will be stimulated, that this is likely the spark point of ideas (Aquarius) that become action that epitomizes each of us as individuals (Aries). We can think of this energy as creating an exciting new activity or action that may cause some blowback from our social circle (and this could have material repercussions, or could simply reflect envy–Jupiter in Taurus) but that will be a perfect and original expression of who we are.
