A 5:30 PM Pacific time sextile of the Moon to Sedna may knock us off our game–at the very least, it delivers a few foggy hours.  9:30 PM PDT the Moon trines Pallas; the fog wears off and we see what’s wise. 11:30 PM PDT the Moon squares Saturn–if we don’t put a lid on it now, someone else might! This may cause an ‘echo effect’ that carries over into the next day; we may rebel at containment, and immediately adopt a contrary (i.e. Uranian) attitude. This also kicks off a T-square involving the Moon as the arm of the Saturn/ Vesta opposition; this pushes rebellion in the direction of irreverence and the potential for disrespecting both tradition and our own highest values.

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.”

Your Weekend 13-15 April 2012: ‘Jolt, Human Barometers, and Gravity x2’

Vorobiev 1842 {{PD-Art}}

Friday the 13th jolts us with the Mars Direction (8:52 PM PDT)–will we feel it? Yes, the turnaround will be a little whiplash-y, where in some way we’ll feel a portion of our life is out-of-control. The most vital point, though, may be that the Warrior begins to move forward beforereaching an encore opposition to Neptune–and that could mean we’ll see some individuals busy trying to resurrect an already-dead dream, ideal, or fantasy. If you find this is you, take a step back, and understand that mourning is really what’s in order, as you are definitely meant to move on.

For the 14th we have this from ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest, available by subscription:

Just before 6 AM PDT the (Aquarius) Moon hits the midpoint of the Chiron/ Pluto sextile, suggesting we may almost become ‘human barometers’ through our emotional reactions and experience. This can point out all the danger zones, and also indicate our power and skill possibilities–now be careful sorting between those two! On the heels of this (7 AM PDT) comes the Moon’s trine to Venus, offering an excellent mental (Air placements) atmosphere, and with the simultaneous perfection of the semi-sextile to Pluto, we see a stance that can get to the bottom of things while maintaining relationships and not harming financial arrangements.

And for the 15th, we have an aspect formula that says, in part, we could find empowerment opportunities by taking a unique approach, and may see authorities acting creatively (and that could mean deceptively!) but that the most distinct feeling we experience could be the sense that we’re working against a double dose of gravity, making it a chore to put one foot in front of the other! We can thank the Saturn/ Earth conjunction for that :/

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 3 April 2012: ‘Rorschach Test’

The 10th card in Rorschach's ink blot series; what do you see? 1921 {{PD}}

First Lunar aspect in Virgo is the Moon opposed Neptune, 10 AM PDT. We could have a couple of responses, one of which is complete rejection of anything fanciful, imaginative, or meant to stretch or elaborate on the truth. We could end up seeing fantasy come to life–and wonder why it just doesn’t look right. Then there’s the chance that we run toward a mirage–or that we feel like we’re surrounded by liars. Whatever comes forward may be an informal Rorschach test that tells us more about ourselves and our viewpoint on the world than it does about our surroundings.

By 2 PM Pacific the Moon conjuncts retro Mars. We are not, in reality, ready to act, but oh we may feel we are. Use that Virgo Moon to take inventory, to go over the details, and plan plan plan. Save your moves for later or, if you must, the dance floor.

'Song of the Talking Wire' Farny 1904 {{PD-Art}}

Just before 7 AM PDT the Leo Moon quincunxes Pallas, bringing the emotions a small shock from the inner wisdom. What’s wrong? Only that we are too Self-absorbed to notice that what’s wise requires our modification and adjustment. So do it.

5 PM PDT the Moon squares Sedna, and by 7 the Moon is quincunx Mercury; we don’t know how we feel, but we insist on telling everyone! We are irritated, spurred to speak, and yet don’t really know how we feel. Oy. Can signal lots of trouble, if we let our mouths run.

For the 30th:

By 10 AM PDT the Cancer Moon opposes Pluto and both make a Cardinal Grand Cross with the Sun/ Earth axis. Some dark emotions, secrets, hidden matters, or things we’d rather not know come to the surface and nail us neatly to this config with a problem or two. How to resolve this, when everything seems so obvious and unsolvable? Time to come clean in this area–no two ways about it–this will allow an opening up with few repercussions–take the opportunity for a clean slate.

For the 31st:

By 2:30 PM PDT the Cancer Moon trines Mercury, both in Water, our Messenger sadly backward. This makes misunderstanding oh-so-easy, as we are prone to substitute our own emotional reactions for fact. It’s almost impossible to consciously navigate this–so use the intuition, if possible–feel the way through.

And for the 1st of April:

12:30 PM PDT the Leo Moon trines the North Node/ Juno conjunction. The emotions and intuitions are tuned in to our empowerment and our life direction, and though it may seem full steam ahead, we must consider that Merc is just on the verge of direction within days–and that our ideas about gaining personal power and making progress are probably good ones, but that we should hold back until Merc turns around to actually take a step forward.

I will be away from my computer much of this weekend; expect ‘Born Today’ to fall behind, and for fulfillment of and answers to subscriptions, renewals, and orders to be delayed–Thank You, and have a great weekend!

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 29 March 2012: ‘Creative Restraint’

‘Still Life With Mandolin’ Gauguin 1885 {{PD-Art}}

10 AM PDT the Gemini Moon trines Saturn; restraint is easy, Self-discipline shows its rewards, and the emotions are soothed by a sense of organization and security–we know where we stand, and we may want to discuss it. The only people who will have trouble with this will be the wrong-headed sort who are unwilling to recognize boundaries–but that’s not any of us, is it? :)

Void begins at 11:07 AM PDT; the Moon enters Cancer at 4:08 PM Pacific time.

8 PM PDT the Moon trines Neptune; creativity flows, and so do the fantasies. Deception is, unfortunately, easily accomplished too, so stay alert. Special note: for those with Neptune in early Scorpio natally, this creates a Grand Trine that offers excellent emotional perspective on one’s creative nature, the possibilities still to be explored with this, and can point us in the direction of true (rather than imagined) creative strengths.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 28 March 2012: ‘Don’t Share!’

The inclination may be to share too much. 'Conquest' by Lavery 1882 {{PD-Art}}

8 AM PDT the Gemini Moon trines Zeus, sextiles Vesta, and squares Pallas. This Moon may bring forward a lot of emotion-driven talk, especially about ambitions, goals, and desires, and about what we find sacred, and this will in some way be unwise! Perhaps we’ll talk in front of the wrong people, making ourselves vulnerable, or we’ll come off as naive or unrealistic in our desires–in any case, a time to examine our wants in the light of our values, but not necessarily to share them.

'Six Studies of a Cat' Gainsborough c1765 {{PD-Art}}

6 AM PDT the Gemini Moon squares Neptune, with the possible effect of making us doubt ourselves; with Merc retro, Neptunian fog rolls in and makes us feel lost, or maybe deluded, even when we can’t say just what it is we’re being fooled by. Don’t allow uncertainty to plague you, and don’t make changes based on current perceptions–they’re bound to be off the mark.

Noon Pacific time the Moon sextiles Uranus, pushing us to act spontaneously, perhaps in that Neptune-influenced area–don’t! There are a lot of itchy trigger fingers and impatient kittens on the scene today–try not to be one of them!

‘A Smoke Backstage’ Harnett 1877 {{PD-Art}}

11 AM PDT the Taurus Moon conjuncts Sedna. The emotions disappear in a puff of smoke–or do they? Just because we don’t know our feelings doesn’t mean they aren’t there. This can be a flashpoint for unconscious emotion made manifest; the tendency is to believe we’re highly rational at this time, and unaffected by feeling–but that would be incorrect. Move through this very carefully. The tough thing is, the Moon comes up on Sedna and his current partner, Venus–and not being able to know our values and aesthetics at this time, and especially not being able to see the worth of relationships or money, may be especially crippling. I would recommend NO big decisions or actions (or maybe even interactions) for a window lasting the entire day of the 26th.
