On the 13th at 4 PM PDT the Moon sextiles the Saturn-NN combination and is within conjunction of Pluto. This makes for some serious efforts to change reality and the Path to correspond to what we feel it should be. Step, and act, with care. 8 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes Mars, sextiles Chiron, and squares Uranus. This may feel like a poke in the eye; we think we’re being unique, original, or unusual, but our actions cause some unpleasant feelings, one way or another. Examine what the feelings driving the behavior really were; chances are we were acting out of some pent-up anger or frustration.

14 September an insistence on saying and doing whatever we want will have grave consequences. That is one extreme, of course; most of us won’t insist, but will almost certainly have to deal with someone who will. For everyone else the influence will show in various impulses to unique Self-expression that may be destructive, game-changing, or radical (and so perhaps reputation-affecting).

The Moon enters Aquarius at 5:06 AM PDT of the 15th. Just after 8 AM Pacific the Moon opposes Pallas and quincunxes Vesta. We are emotionally contrary, refusing what’s wise in favor of a (not entirely rational) sense of independence, fueled by the feeling that those things we are dedicated to aren’t serving us well, so why not blaze a new path? We won’t choose a good direction for our own expression and interests at this point–so just sit back and don’t react from an emotional stance, if it’s at all possible. Noon the Moon conjuncts Juno. At this time the emotions can lead us to reliable empowerment–just wait to act during the few hours that follow this aspect forming (that would be around 1-4 PM PDT), so that the previous contact to Pallas and Vesta is out of orb. 6 PM PDT the Moon squares the Nodes and Saturn and quincunxes Ceres. Now we’re cookin’! We can easily see how the path, the reality picture, and the power and authority picture must be adjusted for maximum benefit.

‘The Five Senses and the Four Elements’ Jacques Linard 1627 {{PD-Art}}

There’s a Mystic Rectangle this week involving the Nodes, Chiron, Saturn, and Ceres. This plays on two of the dominant themes this week, healing and ‘power progress’. A Mystic Rectangle acts as a kind of amplifier for the related energies, and this says that we can affect the life Path and the material reality if we master those healing and power opportunities. Lasts all week–and we add Venus to the equation late in the week, adding Money or Love to the possibilities. (The ECLIPSE week starts on Friday and ends on Thursday, with a new issue each Thursday night Pacific time)

This is from ECLIPSE–subscribe now and lock in the current low rate–prices go up 1 October–

‘Portrait of Maria Strijp’ by Johannes Verspronck 1652 {{PD-Art}}

No, it’s not as bad as the headline suggests–but you might want to read this excerpt from the current ECLIPSE and decide for yourself:

10 September Either we will be upset, or we will be the target of upset for others, and we may make some stupid and costly, life-altering mistakes because of it. I know, that sounds so harsh, but that’s what could happen, if we weren’t alerted to the ego and Will and the way they may inadvertently foster destruction today. We are just trying to get it done, but it’s not a day for significant change, and if we push forward anyway, we stir the rage of others and can see bridges burned behind us. What occurs within conflict will change our future potentials, and may even cut off resources from the past. Relationships may be more dramatic than we’re accustomed to and will not offer accurate feedback or good counsel–just don’t go there–and we could open our wallets and watch our money go down the drain. Downplay action, avoid agitation, and don’t spend or look to others for resources; a day best spent in quiet pursuits or hard physical work alone (though chances of injuring yourself, especially through strain, are high) (Mars quincunx Pluto, square the Nodal axis, Venus square Pallas and entering Scorpio)

Just a Little Astro & Lunar Essence 9 September 2013: ‘Hydra-Therapy’

Hercules Fighting the Hydra by john Singer Sargent 1921 {{PD-Art}}

Hercules Fighting the Hydra by john Singer Sargent 1921 {{PD-Art}}

It’s a nerve-jangly day, when we become critical based on our highest standards and are likely to voice this to the mate or partner, even as we struggle with some Saturnian beast. We may be so busy we feel as if we’re battling the Hydra (the legendary monster fought by Hercules; as he cut one head off, two grew back), but this is more about a change in atmosphere and perceptions than the struggle it seems. Align yourself with the new rhythms and things will soon become manageable.

2 AM PDT of the 9th the Scorpio Moon squares Juno, pointing out where the emotional hang-ups to empowerment lie. 4 AM PDT the Moon sextiles Ceres. We get support from authorities or Mom, or find our niche with Mother Nature. Sweet. 7 AM PDT the Moon conjuncts Saturn and squares Mars. We may be highly motivated to act, even as we repress the feeling that drives that action–a recipe for allowing the unconscious to take over, temporarily. 10 AM PDT the Moon conjuncts the North Node and sextiles Pluto. We make changes that affect the life Path in a Big Way, though they may not  appear to be much of anything right now–could be nothing more than saying, ‘No’ when we might’ve said, ‘Yes’ the hour before. 2 PM PDT the Moon trines Chiron, quincunxes Uranus, and we heal by a willingness to adjust our most unique qualities to the demands of discipline or leadership. This change can ‘qualify’ us for things we just weren’t ready for before. This also begins a Grand Trine with Moon, Chiron, and Jupiter that lasts into the wee hours of the 10th, with Chiron switched out partway through with Earth. In Water, this amplifies emotion and the need to soothe and heal, and with material comforts (food, alcohol, sex, a hot soak or swim in the ocean, for instance) ultimately sought out and experienced.

This is all from ECLIPSE, and is just part of what you get by subscription–order now!

Recognizing the Absurd

Alexandra Day's 'Good Dog, Carl'

Alexandra Day’s ‘Good Dog, Carl’

When my girls were little we discovered a series of books that featured a babysitter named Carl and his adventures with the children he was tasked with watching. That’s cool, right? Except that Carl was a Rottweiler, and the children’s parents repeatedly put them in the most absurd, precarious, and dangerous situations without a care–as Carl would make sure it all worked out.

I loved these books; I have a keen sense of and fondness for the absurd, and I delighted in introducing my children to something so unreal. I still indulge in this, often asking kids of 6 or 7 if they’re married or have their driver’s license. They are old enough to recognize I’m saying a nutty thing, and it’s always fun to watch their reaction–ends up about half will laugh and say something like, ‘No!’ while the rest actually get a little angry, as if to say, ‘Why is this grown-up not playing the social game right?’

So is it just me, or are many individuals, and even larger entities, going to great lengths to convince others to accept the absurd? I’m looking at what’s going on in the sky right now, and we have one of the most solidly realist aspects imaginable at present, the square between Mars and Saturn, that brooks no nonsense and will nail all facts to the table–and perhaps I’m sensitive to the absurd v. the real right now with Mars and Saturn forming the base of a Fist of God with my natal Moon–ouch!–so what’s behind this for everyone else?

Maybe it’s the Ceres-Neptune opposition (Authority faces off against Idealism), or maybe it’s the approaching Finger of God with base of Pluto-Chiron and apex Mars–that’s like a Universal shout out for a Band-Aid® applied with a nail gun! It’s like saying, ‘We’ll heal through destruction, by wiping out the injuries (or maybe the injured!), and we’ll bring about that healing through martial means!’ Oh sure you will.

Usually I deal with the personal, so I think that’s how I’ll approach this question, too. With Vesta as current body of latest degree, we may find people are defending what they see as sacred, whether it makes sense or not, and whether it’s truly worth defending or not. The very idea that this is possibly what’s motivating us should give us pause–and spurred by the quincunx between Ceres and Juno, we might want to adjust our thinking about our own empowerment, and how much we do or don’t need the co-operation of authorities to achieve it. Jupiter and the Sun are in sextile, and Jupiter and Zeus are square; this shines a bright light on the social order, and through conflict on the ambitions and desires of those involved. This should give anyone willing to look a clear enough picture to determine whether we must go along with the absurd, or whether we can free ourselves, with a minimum of hurt (Uranus semi-sextile Chiron).

'Tranquil Pond' Gustav Klimt 1899 {{PD-Art}}

‘Tranquil Pond’ Gustav Klimt 1899 {{PD-Art}}

A Lunar thought for today, the 30th, considering situations all over:

6:30 PM PDT Saturn, Earth, and the Moon create a Water Grand Trine. This can be a period when we feel personally security and at peace, as well as sensing that we have all we need. A lovely time of balance and serenity, if we do not exchange placidity for drama. Jupiter, the North Node, and Chiron also form a Grand Trine, this one too in Water; this suggests that a healing attitude on the social scene can affect destiny–that sounds like the perfect time to pray for peace.

And one for today and the next couple days:

At this time we’re also seeing a loose Grand Square with the Nodes, Saturn, Mars, and Juno. This is a conflict centered in who will get and retain authority, the kind of influence that will determine the paths of many. Though there may be contingents starring the assertive upstart, the established authority, and the individual or group who hold authority in name only and struggle to gain it for real, betting money should, in this instance, go on the established hierarchy, ‘boss’, or current power-holders–at least for now, they will prevail.

This weekend it may be the strongest, most powerful people who will weep the most. ‘The Lament for Icarus’ HJ Draper 1898 {{PD-Art}}

From the just-out issue of ECLIPSE:

30 August Mercury in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Cancer–and despite the flow of a sextile what we find is some aggravation and overly critical interaction, as a too-sensitive social sphere or power-figure overreacts to communications that are bald facts stripped of niceties. If this were a bad science fiction movie, it might be Robot Accountants vs. the Crybaby-gods (or maybe those are dueling gangs involved in a dance-off, à la West Side Story). In any scenario, individuals and groups may split off into cold, calculating (and maybe just a little sadistic) truth-tellers (or perhaps fact-flingers) on one side and powerful but totally playing the tender feelings/ vulnerable ego card on the other. Just be aware, both are attempts to run the show–winners wait for the Moon to shift from Gemini into Cancer (4:33 AM PDT), then use Luna’s sextile to Ceres in Virgo, which also captures Mars at the midpoint, to act from a secure position of appropriate power expression–no need to try to wring blood from a stone, as those identifying with Jupiter will do, or to punish with the unvarnished reality of ‘What Is’, as those identifying with Mercury will.

29 August we may be up to our necks in earthly matters, and yet trying very hard to look the other way, in some sense, or to avoid stepping on figurative toes. It’s an odd day; there’s so much to attend to of physical importance, but we will be shy of others, overly sensitive, anticipating they will be sensitive–and even taking great care we may set someone off, anyway. Communications are doomed and originality will only bring criticism, but anything that requires you to build, that takes structure and hard work, will do very well–put your attentions there. (Venus semi-square Ceres, Mercury opposed Chiron, quincunx Uranus, Sun quincunx Juno, sextile Saturn, Earth trine Saturn)

The Moon’s Void begins 6:07 PM PDT; the Moon enters Cancer at 4:33 AM PDT August 30th

Well, someone got a pony! by Friedrich von Amerling 1845 {{PD-Art}}

26 August the material world may, in some way, dazzle us, and yet this may be costly, we could misunderstand what’s communicated, and we may find ourselves rebelling, probably needlessly, against what’s presented. It’s a matter of perceiving that there’s a great big wonderful glittery world out there and believing we’re not getting our share of rainbows and ponies. Once we come back to Earth (or grow up), we may find that we’ve been seriously mislead concerning something important about money, relationships, empowerment, reality, or what’s truly smart or original. Allow for this immaturity break and don’t be too hard on yourself–we all need to regress, on occasion, if it means we can see the world sparkling new again for a while. (Saturn square Juno, Venus quincunx Chiron, opposed Uranus, Mercury semi-square Pallas, Earth conjunct Neptune)

Not the kind of spinning I’m talking about, but still, the details! Gerard ter Borch 1650s {{PD-Art}}

A little something from ECLIPSE; get everything here–new issue just out!

23 August Judgment and correct action suffer today, mostly at the hands of over-active imaginations, fantasy perceptions, misinformation, and misperception, with choices made and Wills expressed too prone to act out of old hurt. Maybe the action is rooted in wounds but covered up with an illusion of current righteousness, or we try to do something creative and end up doing something not-so-smart. In any case communication suffers as some try to promote their own ambitions or wants while others are counting pennies and still others are ultra-critical, likely out of misguided beliefs. We can combat some of this by vowing to stick to the facts, to avoid pressure-filled situations, including competitive ones, that could make us spin off course, and by actively employing the creative urge in some form that challenges us in a forum we’re already familiar with or in a methodology already known–it’s in trying to strike out into new territories or new forms that can cause us to roll the dice, to our own detriment.

Thank You to everyone who so generously supports the blog and my work through subscriptions–you make it happen!
