‘The Card Players in an Interior’ by Jan Steen c1660 {{PD-Art}}

This is a sampling of the detailed hour-by-hour Lunar forecast (plus much more on the aspects) available in ECLIPSE Weekly for only $5 month–or for the same cost you can get the Daily Word, each day’s complete forecast sent ahead of time to your email–and if you can read email on your phone, you never have to be without!

Remember, Lunar aspects span at least 4 hours before exact, and around 4 hours after.

7 PM PDT of the 14th the Virgo Moon sextiles Saturn and opposes Neptune. This may be a very sensitive point, when intuiting something previously completely hidden about our reality picture can happen–and we may find ourselves vigorously denying it or rejecting what we’ve discovered. No matter what’s revealed, have the courage to see reality–it’s the only way to fly.

3 AM Pacific time of the 15th the Moon squares Pallas, and good sense flies out the window–take note. 5 AM PDT the Moon trines Pluto and squares Mars, making for easy emotional volatility and the kind of actions taken that ‘kill’ feelings (and so relationships) for good. Destruction is just too effortless a path to go down at this time, though if you’re looking to change something or remove something from your life, now’s the time; but, actions bring conflict, so laying low might be the behavior of choice. 8 AM PDT the Moon quincunxes Uranus, making for difficult-to-accept surprises, shocks, and intellectual assertions. Skepticism and/ or indignation might be the result in those truly shaken up. By 10 AM PDT the Moon opposes Chiron and it all hangs out: hurt, past nasties, criticism, nit-picking, and the chance that all concerned will split into ‘the rational’ (that’s their label) and ‘the dreamers’ (who name themselves as well). Bitterness is the result, as neither side understands (or cares to understand) the viewpoint of the other. Try to stay out of any between-group exchanges–those could get rough–with everything else, the best course might be to withhold active judgment and/ or to surround yourself with the like-minded, just for now. 2 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Venus, perhaps throwing us off our game with some sudden sweetness in life–just enjoy it. 10 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Mercury and quincunxes Juno; we may communicate with the goal of gaining our own empowerment, but almost inevitably, this may make others feel threatened. Be as non-assertive in your assertions as possible!

We’re looking at an interesting Finger of God right now, with base of Chiron-SN, apex hZeus. This suggests that past wounds may act to prevent realization of ambitions and desires at this time. Be as aware as possible of those ‘fingers from the past’ that may slip into the now, and hold us in place–knowing they’re there is the only way to be free of them.

16 June sees no new aspects come to exactitude; but of course, the Moon never rests. 1:30 AM PDT of the 16th the Moon sextiles Vesta, re-instilling our highest values through feeling and emotional perception. 9 AM PDT the Moon squares the Sun-Earth axis, bringing out emotional issues around life direction. This is a chance to see around what issues our emotional being is still having trouble with acceptance, or is signaling something we thought was okay is really unacceptable. There’s no easy way to tell the difference between the two, though for most the issue will be instantly recognizable. 1 PM PDT the Moon sextiles Ceres and squares Jupiter. This could manifest as taking the female/ anima/ or receptive side in some dispute, or we could find ourselves ‘taking our marbles and going home’, feeling that the social sphere is unsupportive. In any case, who holds what power will be the topic of the day, and someone is sure to have hurt feelings, when it’s all over. Void begins 2:27 PM Pacific time; the Moon enters Libra at 6:19 PM PDT.
