Here’s what I said about this conjunction in the newsletter: “Earth also conjuncts Ceres today, suggesting that we should keep all our dealings strictly material today–if you can’t weigh it, hold it in your hand, or point to it in the physical world, then leave it be.” I’d add to this a little admonition as to what to do: imagine the authority you want to hold, visualize the territory you want to declare your own, commune with the elements of nature to connect yourself to natural flow that will pull what you want to you. I know we’re probably trying to do this every day; this is a day when the Universe won’t just be available to us, she will open her arms and welcome us into her energy stream, nurture us, and ‘feed’ us what we ask for and need, like any good mother will :)

Just a Little Essence for Today 15 September 2011: ‘A Big Ol’ Venusian Reward’

The Moon enters Taurus at 12:25 PM PDT and immediately quincunxes Venus, which begins a Finger of God, apex Love, Moon sextile Chiron as base. So, if we heal our emotional state (and there are hints this might be accomplished through the materially creative or material comforts enjoyed, Pisces/ Taurus) we get a big ol’ Venusian reward. Look to the sign and/or House location of your natal Venus to see what might be coming to you, should you succeed in soothing the feelings.

Just as we enter the last hours the Finger is in place, we also see formed with the Moon’s perfection of the sextile to Chiron, and a midpoint picture involving Uranus in Aries, smack between the two. This implies that something startling, shocking, unexpected, or generated by the group could precipitate the emotional mending–and may point dead at the positive reward we can expect (or, if we’re not able to get it together, this may point to the Willful individuality expression that cuts us off from reward–Venus opp Uranus).

10 PM PDT the Moon finds herself at the midpoint of Ceres and Sedna. We are emotionally vulnerable to those in authority, and we don’t see this! Someone who wields a natural position over us, or who is a crack negotiator (remember, that’s one of Ceres’ outstanding skills!) may work their magic on us and we will be unaware of the influence. Stay alert 🙂

A sextile to Vesta from the Moon comes about near noon, PDT, and acts to remind us of what matters most. Will pull some back from the precipice over which they were leaning, ready to throw ‘it’ all away. 2 PM PDT and the Moon is quincunx Mercury, making us work to be understood, and to understand–not a great time for communicating. If you can’t avoid it, try to look past all the ego and bluster, and stick to details, facts, numbers, and, perhaps surprisingly, health matters–all these will be heard loud and clear.

The Essence for 10 September 2011: Don’t Dive Right In

10:30 AM PDT the Moon conjuncts Neptune in the 29th degree of Aquarius. We are stressed! chiefly about how clearly we may or may not be perceiving matters. Those prone to illusion may dive right in; everyone else will go for varying types of reality checks or may recognize the potential for creative flow accessible to the intellect and use the energy in highly innovative ways. Void begins at 10:33 AM (remember there’s a window when this is in effect, so one can begin to work with the creative energy several hours before and after the aspect becomes exact, though during the Void we may get an unexpected result). The Moon enters Pisces at 12:27 PM Pacific time.

The Essence for 9 September 2011: Emotionally Tipsy

3 PM PDT the Moon trines the South Node, making us, in a way, emotionally tipsy. As always with the Moon in Aquarius, we believe we are rational even when we’re feeling, and SN in Gemini brings the mind repeatedly back to old conversations, associations, and links that have long been undone–and depending on how stridently we insist that we are reasoning purely, we will proportionately suffer a disturbance to the emotional equilibrium. If we can open ourselves to the unadulterated ups and downs of feeling, we can take an emotional journey without ever leaving the spot where we stand. Can inspire calls to people from the past, trips to dusty photo albums, and crying jags centered in hurt and regret from long ago. Soothe yourself by stepping outside (Air placements).

Moon enters Aquarius (2:42 AM PDT) kicking and screaming. Why, I’m not sure–let’s just call it a hunch, and those of you awake at this time can report in :) Maybe it’s the semi-sextile to Chiron that sneaks in about 6:30 AM PDT; we are trying to go all intellectual on things (Aquarius) and somehow emotions, especially hurts, come forward. Self-awareness is the key here.

Just before 2 PM PDT the Moon conjuncts Vesta, putting us in a noble frame of mind. This can put us on the trail of living our highest ideals in order to gain emotional fulfillment, and perhaps surprisingly, could make us intolerant, condescending, and vain, because any contact with others may invite us to judge and compare–and really, nobody can do “I’m devoted to a higher concept than you are” like Vesta! Those who fare best are those who hold respect for others and their own humility in high regard.

Just before 8 AM PDT the Moon trines Venus, inviting us to a lovely time–make sure this has a material component, as the aspect practically begs us to enjoy life! and we’ll need our strength for . . .

the Moon’s noonish Pacific time opposition to Mars. It really will be ‘High Noon’ for some of us, with a showdown where everyone flashes more than a little ego and aggression. Best preparation is to know very firmly where you stand, and what your rights are, and have a clear picture of the rules and regulations–this will keep you from accepting anything that’s not already written in stone. And if all else fails, Capricorn Moon says, Stonewall!

Thank you all for the confidence you’ve displayed in me and the offers you’ve made to work together. Unfortunately, I must say that, as listed under ‘Services + Books,’ I am unavailable and cannot make any more exceptions–it’s putting me too far behind in my other obligations.

The Essence for 6 September 2011: ‘T’ for Trouble

Moon squares Uranus, 1 AM PDT. Oh those Cardinals, emotion (Moon) and action-heavy, with an anarchic and rebellious spirit thrown into the pot as well! This could spell capital ‘T’ Trouble for some; for everyone else, we may see mild to very serious emotional upset. Conflict may center on showing how we have freedom, a ‘Nobody can tell me what to do!’ statement that, hey, look around, no one asked us to make! The thing is, we’ll be having the riot or rebellion in our own heads, more than anywhere else. Bar fights, stupid dares that we accept, and inebriated, spur-of-the-moment trips across the county line to get married are all possibilities.

10 AM PDT the Moons squares Ceres, and we are likely confronted with the demands of authority or nature. Answer carefully. At this same point the Moon trines Mercury, perhaps inclining us to share information (or just to gab!) much too easily. If we are required to exchange or collect information, it may go very smoothly, but we must be aware of how messages are sent even before we realize we’re telegraphing our thoughts. Another instance where being as aware as possible is best, and where reticence may serve better than openness.
