The 9th is a day when we encounter the grace (or loving spirit, or cash, or empowering option) to work some things out, maybe even to change our world, if we don’t allow out-of-the-blue, illogical, or radical messages, or our own erratic thoughts, to throw us off the scent (Venus trine Pluto, Uranus trine Juno, Mercury quincunx Uranus, Earth sesquiquadrate Mars). We will definitely try to change material matters somehow, but our actions will need to be modified according to our experience of influx and the quality of communications/ thought. A day when much can happen, and with a little effort and openness to adjustment, it can be very, very positive. The 10th of October proves to be an excellent manifestation day, when what we’ve been imagining can be made real (Saturn trine Neptune perfects). We finally receive the transformative messages we’ve been waiting for (but I have to warn you, some of us will get something that destroys us or some circumstance in our life–and we must remember, even as it crumbles, how this is truly for the good–Mercury sextile Pluto).

October 1st Mercury trines Vesta and the Sun sesquiquadrates Sedna. Communication takes on the aura of the sacred–with potentially disastrous results. We are likely to take our own words and thoughts far too seriously–but much worse, those with whom we interact may allow absolutely no criticism, contradiction, or alterations to their words or ideas, so that communication devolves into a series of lectures. Work that allows us to be alone or to work independent of others, however, may go especially well, as we will have the reverence that is often missing for our own conceptions that may allow us to launch something we might otherwise judge ‘not good enough’, and discard.

That’s from the current issue of ECLIPSE; subscribe and get detailed daily rundowns on aspects among planets, lights, and asteroids Vesta, Ceres, Juno, Pallas, Sedna, Chiron, and Zeus, as well as Lunar aspects hour-by-hour–all with analysis of what they mean for you.

Full Moon in Aries 29 September 2012: ‘Going One Step Further’

Take that next step, even if it’s a baby one!’First Steps, After Millet’ Van Gogh 1890 or before {{PD-Art}}

The Full Moon Arrives at 8:18 PM PDT on the 29th of September at 7 Aries 22

The Full Moon turns like a stagehand manning the Klieg lights and shines back on aspects already perfected in her travels. It’s like an echo made of light, drawing our attention back to matters we thought already dismissed. The Full Moon is of course conjunct Earth, still conjunct Uranus and square Pluto, and is also semi-sextile Chiron. This set-up pulls the mental and emotional concerns of earlier in the evening (Pacific time) into the material realm, and we are either injured by this, or we bring forward skills to deal with it successfully. The sense is of a culmination that requires us to go a step further with some conflict, confrontation, or innovation/ idea that recently came to a head. Things will not be complete until we have taken this last, physical step–and if we don’t we will likely injure our own creative sensibilities (Chiron in Pisces).

This is from the latest ECLIPSE; to see it all, please subscribe! I’m extending the offer of 2 FREE extra months added to any subscription through 1 October–so what are you waiting for?

Just a Little Lunar Essence for 26-27 September 2012: ‘The Magic Word is ‘Moderation”

‘Allegory of Modesty and Vanity’ or ‘The Conversion of the Magdalene’ Apparently, it’s your choice. By Bernardo Luini c1560 {{PD-Art}}

For today, the 26th of September:

Void begins at 8:35 PM PDT; the Moon enters Pisces at 10:24 PM PDT.

Right away the Moon joins with Neptune and trines Ceres. The aspect picture is one of unreliable emotional perceptions, misleading or distorted intuitions, creativity inspired by nature, or emotional reactions to the assertions of authorities or Mom. We may feel ‘drugged up’ without the actual drugs, zoned out, or overwhelmed by feeling or fog. There’s not much to be done, except to avoid commitment or contracts for the active window of this contact and perhaps to allow ourselves to enter a creative zone that accesses things we are often too connected to reality to observe or enjoy.

And for tomorrow, the 27th:

9 AM PDT the Moon conjuncts Chiron, sextiles Pluto, and semi-sextiles Uranus. We have the choice to wallow in hurts from the past, stew over revenge, and exhaust ourselves, or we can allow healing, try to change the world, and exhaust ourselves. Moderation is the magic word at this time.

To see it all in detail, order ECLIPSE! New issues arrive in your email every Thursday evening Pacific time (and here’s where I remind you that the Vesta book will be out soon, free to current subscribers!) It’s affordable and accurate–so if you come here often, you really should have it all–order now!

Oh! And this site is on the verge of hitting 700,000 views (over about 4 1/2 years)! I’ll be giving away a FREE copy of CHIRON, INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP, or JUNO, or an extra 3 Months on their paid subscription (the Winner can choose) to the first person who subscribes or renews their subscription today, the 26th, or tomorrow, the 27th (Pacific time). I’ll also add a FREE 2 Months to the subscription of anyone who subscribes or renews their subscription today, the 26th and tomorrow, the 27th. Thanks to everyone for visiting, and a special Thank You to subscribers for their loyal, consistent, and generous support!

Update: Well that was quick! Congrats to Nick S.! I’m still giving away 2 Free Months with each new sub or renewal–so don’t wait! xo jd

‘Two Geisha Girls’ EA Hornel 1894 {{PD-Art}}

The 24th of September the Sun sextiles Juno and Earth conjuncts Pallas. These are highly positive, offering a spotlight that points out exactly what our empowerment should look like, and how to get it, while wisdom is found in the messages contained in our surroundings, and in skillful employment of material assets at our disposal. Can be a big day, one that can ‘set us up’ positively for some time to come. While on the 25th . . .

. . . Mercury conjuncts Zeus–we are confident and express ambitions and desires well, at this time–which only raises our chances of having them fulfilled. A few warnings: Venus sesquiquadrates Uranus–though spontaneous changes can come to relationships or finances, it’s best not to push; and Mars is semi-square Pluto, priming the temper pump, in a way that will probably take victims (both expressers and targets) by surprise.

Just a Little AstroEssence for Your Weekend 21-23 September 2012: ‘It All Feels a Little ‘Alice”

‘A Mad Tea Party’ One of a series of brilliant illustrations Arthur Rackham 1907 {{PD}}

The 21st of September is a rough day for successful communication: Mercury sesquiquadrates Sedna, suggesting that much of what’s communicated is done without any awareness of what’s truly shared, and the Sun-Earth axis creates a T-square with Ceres, making for an ongoing atmosphere of tension between those who believe they should hold power and command, and the material reality, ‘what is’.

On the 22nd:

Void begins at 11:07 AM PDT; the Moon enters Capricorn at 12:21 PM PDT.

Immediately the Moon creates a T-square with the Sun-Earth axis and sextiles Neptune. We could feel put on the spot, facing a bit of a crisis, and creativity, imagination, or some careful dissembling (not lying, exactly, more like diplomatically avoiding the hard-line Capricorn reality) may be the way out. Keep in mind that just because someone applies pressure, it doesn’t mean we are under some kind of obligation to respond to it.

And the 23rd promises:

The Sun in Libra wants to co-operate, to shine a light on what may be deceptive, hidden in fog, mysterious, illusive, imaginative, creative, dreamlike–and Neptune will have none of it, pulling his Piscean curtain of fog and mirrors and video installations and shimmery, shiny things even tighter. This may feel like, hard as we try to see the facts, the ‘Truth’, or how to assemble the creative alternative, we may be left with little concrete or understandable to grasp. It all may feel a little ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

On the Current State of the Uranus-Pluto Square

We can’t be so distracted by loss that we forget the living. ‘La Toussaint’ Friant 1888 {{PD-Art}}

From the current ECLIPSE:

We note that Pallas is still within conjunction to Uranus, imbuing the urge to rebellion, individuality, to group membership, and to originality with native wisdom that is difficult to beat. The gift Pallas offers is wisdom based in common sense and attained skills that we can also call maturity; added to Uranus, this makes for a powerfully useful and astute combination that spurs truly practical innovation and inventiveness. So we’re already on track with that (and have been for some time); with Pluto’s direction, whatever may not have been evident development-wise in this regard comes forward and is easily accessed–and we should expect another result, as well: we will begin to see what’s ‘dead’, what must go–and the positive part is, there will be no regret, just a chance for renewal of purpose, and especially of those things we take (Pluto-deadly) seriously.

‘Mound of Butter’ Vollon c1850 {{PD-Art}}

By 6 PM PDT the Scorpio Moon is trining Chiron with Pluto at the midpoint, and also quincunxing Uranus. You might be able to cut the tension with a knife, but really, it’s a butter knife, better used to spread that easily accessible transformative and healing energy. The one thing guaranteed to rankle will be either our inherent rebelliousness or our urge to be recognized either for our uniqueness or our intellectual capacity; our Uranian ‘live wire’ could make for some shocks and discomfort, unless we employ our inventive or innovative energies to help facilitate healing change–if we do that, we’ll be more than fine.

King Solomon and His Court, India, Artist Unknown late 19th century {{PD-Art}}

For 15 September:

It’s in communications, and our own thought processes, where we may run into trouble. We may be over-focused on details, hyper-critical, or too concerned with accounting and/ or lists–and so miss the point entirely. We also may be highly resistant to taking suggestions from anyone, if we see them as holding some sort of authority over us. Falling into old ways of being and seeing are, as they say, easy as falling off a log. Try to remain astride yours. (Mercury square Ceres, trine SN).

And for the 16th:

Authorities and those who felt they had nature on their side may find that their path isn’t as clear as they thought (Ceres quincunx NN), and acting as an individual, or a leader, will definitely have social pitfalls (Mars quincunx Jupiter). Those who are willing, however, to think with others in mind (who are willing to give them equal weight to the Self) will gain both co-operation and empowerment through the social sphere. That’s really the magic formula for today, and is accessible if we can keep cynicism to a minimum (Mercury into Libra, sextile Juno, Juno into Sagittarius).

Here’s a tid-bit from the current ECLIPSE; order now for all the latest!

9 PM PDT of the 10th the Cancer Moon trines Earth in Pisces, followed by a sextile of Moon to Mercury in Virgo. We have a unique window in which to ‘sense’ material matters and then successfully bring them to the conscious mentality. This offers an excellent point at which to understand what is surrounding us and why, and to bring it fully into the mind, with nothing obscured or left out. We can be sure of what we perceive, if we are open to the Truth of our reality.
