≈ Comments Off on Just a Little Essence for Today 31 October 2011: ‘A Little More Power’
'Medieval Women as Warriors' Artist unknown {{PD-Art}}
It’s a day light on Lunar aspects, but I can share this tidbit:
1:30 PM PDT the Capricorn Moon sextiles Ceres; we see aid from those in authority (or we are just able to get along with them!) or Mother Nature gives us a boost, or our negotiations go well. We in some way get a little more power in one or more arenas.

'Riding the Sacred Elephant'--surely that's a euphemism for something we should all try Artist unknown c1675 {{PD-Art}}
for Saturday, the 29th (remember, effects span 3-4 hours either side of a Lunar aspect)
Right before 10 PM PDT the Sag Moon trines Mars in Leo; does this bring some Fire into our lives? Maybe, if we’ve recently had a lot of Indian food, or if we are inclined to big, expansive emotional displays that are tightly linked to the ego. Everyone else might simply be prompted to finally take the first step on that exotic trip they’ve been dreaming about, to finally act on long-time feelings, or to head for the horizon, literally or figuratively, looking for ‘more’ or ‘better’ Make choices with care; even if we wake up somewhere new, we still have a lot of ‘old’ to deal with.
. . . and for the 30th
6 AM Pacific time sees the Sag Moon sextile Neptune. This can make us think we know things, even though those things are really figments of our imaginations. Though we normally may see ourselves as psychic, sensitive, or just plain observant, the Neptune placement in Aquarius is too mind-focused to allow a true psychic flow–we instead substitute the mentality, and the Sag Moon brings an emphasis on knowing that doesn’t like to go unanswered, with the combination substituting the imagination and supposition for psychic perception. Just so you know.
Void begins 6:30 AM PDT, exacerbating the tendency promised by the previous aspect to lead ourselves astray; Moon enters Capricorn, sign of tough little goats climbing rock solid mountains of facts, at 9:39 AM PDT. Could be a tremendous jolt for those who got swept away by their own ‘psychic vision aka trick of the imagination’ Now reality will intrude–probably rudely. Everyone else may breathe a sigh of relief as what is takes firm shape around us and we gain confidence and security in dealing with matter, not fantasy. The opening sextile to Chiron can make us sensitive, and/ or draw forward our Chirotic skills in real-world ways; Pallas sits at the Moon/ Chiron midpoint, infusing the effort with wisdom and purpose.

Void begins at 4:50 AM Pacific time; the Moon enters Sagittarius at 7:45 AM PDT. A sextile to Pallas and square to Chiron kick things off in the sign of the archer; we feel smart! and yet vulnerable, and very aware of our wound and our weakness. This kind of influence can prompt some to bluster and others to retreat into ‘what I know,’ and still others may head for the emotional hills. None of these is a particularly effective way to meet things, but our reaction does tell us quite clearly what stresses we are under and where our weak spots lie–and it’s always good to be informed, especially under a Sag Moon!

4 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes the exact Earth/ Jupiter conjunction and semi-sextiles Pluto. This is very much a social awareness aspect, with concurrent urges to transform, destroy, or grab power observed or acted on. We see the consequences of the social order on the material situation, and we are prepared, to some extent, to do something about it. Just don’t be Self-destructive in the process; this is the kind of influence that pushes people into quitting their job or vandalizing corporate property in an ‘I’ll show them!’ frame of mind, when the only fruitful actions will spring from an awareness that the social order cares not for the individual.

'Happy Age! Golden Age' by Watteau c1718 {{PD-Art}}
9 AM PDT the Scorpio Moon trines Ceres; we can get authorities, nature, or Mom on our side, probably by making an emotional appeal. Good for presentations and negotiations, as long as we can be relatable in what we show of ourselves.
7 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Mercury, and this dynamic duo create a T square with an opposition to Sedna and square to Mars. With Mars in the ‘arm’ of the configuration, we see the emotions drive talk/ communication almost compulsively and we are unaware of what we’re communicating! And this, in some way, causes us to act, possibly in defense of the ego or identity (Leo) Remember the saying, ‘Silence is golden’? In this case, it really is.

Blake's 'Red Dragon' {{PD-Art}}
The New Moon in Scorpio occurs at 12:54 PM PDT of the 26th at 3 Scorpio 02. I’m making the orb a little bigger this time; we’ll say a full 3 degrees, as there are just too many bodies gathered so close to aspect–and that makes me think they’re straining to be heard in this New Moon configuration. That means the Moon/ Sun combo is conjunct Juno and opposed Jupiter, quincunxes Uranus and trines Chiron, and sextiles Pluto. It’s all about power, power specifically derived either through relationship or through one’s status and the friction this relationship or status generates–it’s the birth of strong, powerful, and perhaps vengeful urges–that will definitely, radically, change, and likely heal, things. This New Moon brings forward a dark, beautiful heart that rises from the ashes of previous clashes, upsets, and confrontations, renewed in Scorpio.

≈ Comments Off on Just a Little Essence for Today 25 October 2011: ‘Feeling Our Way Along’
'Road in Maine' Hopper 1914 {{PD-Art}}
6 PM PDT sees the Libra Moon conjunct Saturn and sextile Mars, and this is followed (just before 8 PM PDT) with the Moon quincunx Sedna. This could make for a very difficult scenario, where we are subdued emotionally, but must act–and then we will be unable to know how we feel about this. If we are able to see things through a mental lens, we will be fine–it’s only those who want to feel their way along who will suddenly find themselves lost and disconnected from the feeling nature, and so from the emotional ‘antenna’ they may be over-using.

Bidau 1888 {{PD-Art}}
Void begins 8:12 AM PDT. The Moon enters Libra at 8:49 AM PDT. Right away our Libra Moon creates a Finger of God–Libra just has to weigh it out!–with a base of Chiron and Earth. What has wounded us on a material plane (physically to the body, in matters of finance or possessions, or in the actual material/ physical situation we find ourselves in) must be accepted, reconciled, or made peace with–once that happens we are given the emotional balance and the co-operative attitude (or a partner is quite literally presented) to aid or change that wounding material situation. It’s very Chirotic, in that we must accept, even embrace, the hurt before we have a hope of healing the hurt. Do address this–it provides a major opportunity to gain emotional equilibrium.
Coming up on 5 PM PDT, the Moon quincunxes Jupiter and squares Pluto. The Jupiter/ Pluto trine brings massive opportunity for change, and contact from the Moon offers two options: we can use the emotions as a guide to where to adjust our attitudes to reaching out/ sharing knowledge/ or the social scene (Jupiter) and to sort out what ‘dark,’ secret, or transformative thing we are in conflict with (Pluto); or, we can use the intuition for these same tasks. We should choose the one that works most effectively for us–and at the same time, we should vow to make Truth the baseline against which this all plays out. If we do, we can make some surprising major discoveries about ourselves and our place in the social order, and in the Universe.
Remember, we’ve already entered the Dark of the Moon; no big new starts, encourage flexibility in your approach, and take a meditative stance with all that comes at you–it’s more a time for internal revelation and reflection than for assertive action.

Olaus Magnus 'A Marriage Ready to be Confirmed by the striking together of flint and steel' 1555 {{PD-Art}}
4 PM PDT on the 22nd the Moon trines Pluto–we can change ‘it,’ and we might have a superior intuitive faculty at our disposal with which to do it. This begins a Grand Trine, with the other point being Jupiter in Taurus. This could set up ‘Great Expectations’ where we either try to make massive changes simultaneously in several areas, where we expect to alter a single thing and be met with enormous transformation automatically, or where we expect ‘big results’ by showing our emotions, especially rage. It can be a misleading influence, where we feel a strong emotional impetus to change our surroundings (Earth) and our expectations almost right away become overblown. The balance of a Grand Trine could also present us with the idea to change things but could keep us static, not making a move, content to just think about all we would transform. Try to mobilize this combination to serve something you intuitively and concretely know needs change, but that you’ve been loathe to tackle because it seemed overwhelming–this is the best use of this energy. As an aside, this could make for a big, scary, even dangerous Saturday night for some! so use care when operating.
11:30 AM PDT of the 23rd sees the Moon oppose Ceres–emotional viewpoint may be confronted by Mother Nature, a maternal figure, or authorities, and could feel very defensive as a result. We will have an intuitive inkling, however, as to the reason behind the confrontation, and so if we can avoid an emo response we can assess the real matter (for it may be that we need a good whack upside our figurative heads! or we may see that this is really about the confronter themselves) and give a more appropriate response than we might otherwise. At this same point, the Sun enters Scorpio–and we should expect a spotlight on those nooks and crannies–be ready!

6 AM PDT sees the Leo Moon square Venus and trine North Node, which may bring inevitable emotional conflict meant to drive us in our destined direction. This could materialize a major event or change that sets things on an unexpected course; endings or beginnings would not be a surprising result at this time.
1 PM Pacific the Moon conjuncts Mars–this may be like a lightning strike to the heart. We are likely to be enveloped in our own feelings at this time, feelings about our identity, role, or purpose, and in Fire we may be prompted toward taking consuming action that may not leave room for much else. Could make for intense distraction from the scene at hand–navigate with caution.

'The Fortune Teller' de la Tour c1636 {{PD-Art}}
8:30 AM PDT the Cancer Moon squares Saturn, perhaps stopping us dead in our tracks; or, the Universe presents obstacles and our first reaction is to bash our head against the wall, trying to get through! Conflict between our feelings and some Saturnian thing (authorities, rules, our own fears?) is inevitable. Navigate with care, and yet don’t spend too much energy in resistance–it’s a matter where patiently walking around the wall is a lot more effective than trying to push it down on your own.
Just after 11 PM PDT we hit a jackpot, of sorts: the Moon squares Juno, opposes Pallas, and quincunxes Neptune. Will we be sucked into a power struggle despite our better judgment, deluded about how another may threaten empowerment? Or will we be fighting for status based on an illusory idea of who may bestow it? Or will we be feeling powerless, projecting the wisdom that shows a way out on someone else, based on our image of them? Well, none of those sound very fun–let’s instead look at how our emotional approach to someone or something may be not only unwise but keeping us from our own empowerment in the matter. The illusion can be pierced at this time–that would be a much better way to spend our time and energy pennies
