Just a Little Lunar Essence 5-6 March 2013: ‘Unpopular’

From the current ECLIPSE:

We’re in the Lunar Void right now, with the Moon entering Capricorn at 4:14 PM PST of the 5th. Starting at 9 PM PST and lasting through 9 AM of the 6th, the Moon sextiles Neptune, Chiron, and Venus, with stops along the way to square Uranus (4 AM PST) and quincunx Jupiter (6 AM PST). This plunges us into an agitated emotional state where we attempt to express the individuality through creativity, Art, Love, or healing, but may find our actions or choices unpopular on the social scene. Why? I don’t know, though we may find a clue in the way the social circle wants to keep it light, and possibly non-committal (Gemini) while we are interested in solid progress and nailing down commitment and achievement (Capricorn)–we’re just too serious, it seems, for networking successfully. Just give it a rest, for now.

Just a Little Lunar Essence for 3-4 March 2013: ‘The Costs of Contrariness’

‘The Hot Sands, Mustapha, Algiers’ by Charles Conder 1891 {{PD-Art}}

3 March: the Moon enters Sagittarius at 1:11 PM PST; at 6 PM PST the Moon squares Neptune, bringing conflict over some delusion we accept as real, some fantasy we insist on being attached to, or with creative activity, which seems to contradict our feelings about what our creative output should be.

4 March the Inferior Conjunction (the meeting of retro Mercury and the Sun) heralds conflicts, unexpected costs, and circumstances that offend those things we hold sacred.  1 AM the Sagittarius Moon squares Venus and trines Uranus. Relationships suffer from a too-independent attitude or from simple rebelliousness. Costs of contrariness or insistence on being unique are serious and far-reaching. Allow others their freedom, even if it feels wrong, and channel individual expression so that it finds a productive and useful outlet. 8 AM PST Luna tucks herself into the midpoint between Pluto and Saturn. We are emotionally struck by changes to the structures and organization of our lives, and may experience some intense feelings of aloneness and fears of destruction or restriction under coming conditions. It should be reassuring that there is nothing we can do about these changes, and that they have been going on for some time, it’s just that right now circumstances allow us to really feel them happening (or maybe we should say, we are only feeling them, with the mental faculties completely out of the way, and that makes the emotional reactions seem so much more potent). Try not to make any decisions based on the emotions at this time.

Just a Little Lunar Essence 27 February 2013: ‘Embrace Healing’

10 AM PST the Libra Moon quincunxes Neptune–it’s the same song all day, really, as the Moon goes on to quincunx the Sun and Chiron, and make hard contact to Pluto–weakness exposed, shame, wounds scraped raw, and the chance to transform it all into a state of acceptance and understanding, and a sense of empathy that can inform all we do. It’s your choice. Round about 5 PM Pacific the Moon trines Jupiter and opposes Uranus. This is prime time for embracing the parts of ourselves we feel others would reject, and for making a positive foray onto the social scene. A lot of healing can happen here.

Just a Little Lunar Essence 26 February 2013: ‘Nobody’s In The Mood’

'Surprised' by Rousseau 1891 {{PD-Art}}

‘Surprised’ by Rousseau 1891 {{PD-Art}}

4 AM PST the Virgo Moon quincunxes Pallas; here we go with the emotions and intuition uneasy with what we know to be wise. This may be the kick-off for questioning of our values, defying what’s smart out of a sense that this may only be holding us back. Nope, it’s not. The larger influences today are simply disruptive–we’d be smart, at least for now, to avoid the kind of thinking that is sure there’s something better ‘out there’. 9:30 AM PST the Moon opposes Mercury-Mars and trines the South Node. More trouble, this time in the form of aggressive words or thoughts, egos that spout folderol, actions that support pure fantasy rather than fact, and we draw on the past as our ‘proof’ that all this is a good idea. Oy. The intuition is likely extremely unhappy at this point, telling you in no uncertain terms to stay away from all this talk and all these moves–and you would be smart to do so. 1 PM PST the Moon squares Ceres. Even Mother Nature is irked. Don’t expect a harvest at this time, don’t take anyone’s inventory (in the Bill W sense), don’t criticize, and for gosh sakes don’t hand out lists for ‘How to Improve ‘X”! Nobody’s in the mood for that Virgo Moon stuff. 3 PM PST the Moon trines Sedna–blissful escape! OR we become distraught as things flatten out and nothing seems to have much meaning anymore. Let it pass. 8 PM PST the Moon trines Juno. Listen to the emotions/ intuition–at this time they will guide you unerringly to an empowering scenario.

Void begins 8:39 PM Pacific time; the Moon enters Libra at 5:02 AM PST of the 27th.

The Astro & Lunar Essence 20 February 2013: ‘A Creative Renaissance’

I felt like it was important to share most of the forecast for today; normally, you can get the whole thing, plus articles and more, by subscribing to ECLIPSE

February 20th has one big whammy: the Sun conjuncts Neptune. This is our once-yearly tune-up to our Neptunian nature (though we all have a personal one when the t Sun hits our natal Neptune). Here we get a good measure of how well our surroundings are connected to reality, how truly creative is our environment, and in what ways we may have been mislead, deceived, or otherwise fed a fantasy–and we should take it all with gratitude, as we are seeing in stark clarity ways in which our Neptune may be much better employed in the coming year. Since this occurs in Pisces, we should be cognizant of the way in which creativity is having a kind of Soul-centered Renaissance on both an individual and a Collective level; creative activity has never been greater or more effectively used to convey the dreamed of, the ineffable, and what has only been felt, until now. Make sure there’s an active place for your creative urge in your life–and a creative goal for the month of the Sun in Pisces would be especially productive and apt in conveying the imagined into reality. A sad few might accept a total lie as their reality at this time–but I know that won’t be you.

3 PM PST the Moon squares Uranus, showing us where we need to ‘break loose’ or where we are too much of a loose cannon as it is! One way or another we must face a Uranian imbalance. 7 PM PST the Moon trines Chiron, making us easily hurt, or easily healed, your choice. This kicks off a Grand Trine with Saturn that addresses how truly hurtful the reality situation really is, and what skills to use to change things for the better. 11 PM PST the Moon opposes Pluto. We are either appalled by someone else’s Plutonian display, or we are acting Pluto ourselves, and shocking someone else. In either case, we are disowning something, the fact that we all contain that core rage, destruction, and incredible transformative power, or that we are sensitive beyond measure to what’s around right now (Moon in Cancer). Allowing both perceptions to be part of the Self-image is the healthiest choice.

For the 13th:

Noon Pacific time the Aries Moon squares Pluto and sextiles Vesta. Stick with what you know you honor, and let ‘opportunities’ for power glide by–they are much more likely traps than gold mines.

New Moon in Aquarius 9 February 2013: ‘The Requirements of Our Nature’

The Orion Nebula--Thanks, NASA!

The Orion Nebula–Thanks, NASA!

The New Moon in Aquarius occurs at 11:20 PM PST at 21 Aquarius 43 and squares the Nodal axis, along with Sedna (which is conjunct the SN), and quincunxes Ceres–and that’s all (according to our strict 2 or so degree allowed orb). This suggests that what is conceived at the NM is something we are unaware of, which will speak of the depths of our individuality (Sedna), that will figure in to determining our life course (Nodes), and which will be dictated by our nature, specifically by the Ceres traits expressed by the power we hold, the influence we exercise, our relationships to those for whom we are responsible, the function of negotiation, and our natural environment, to include our own role as a Being within Nature.

We do know it will begin something–and this something will start a ‘learning curve’ for us that will play out in a way that re-defines our sense of power, our influence, our reach, and some of our relationships, with all of it speaking very specifically to us as unique individuals.

For the rest of the New Moon report, including info on what areas of life it will apply to for you according to where it falls in your natal chart, order ECLIPSE Weekly Aspect Digest–it’s all in the current Valentine Issue!

THIS is what happens with too much free time. ‘Venus Riding a Satyr’ Dirck de Quade van Ravestyen c1601 {{PD-Art}}

The Sagittarius Moon sextiles Venus (1 PM PST) smoothing the way in relationships by means of enthusiasm and understanding, and helping to bring finances under control by applying reason (Venus in Aquarius). 4 PM PST the Moon trines Uranus, bolstering originality, innovation, and (no!) rebelliousness. Emotion may ride a little too high, and get out of hand out of sheer excitement. Keep individual expression at the forefront, even as you keep group needs in mind. 6 PM PST the Moon opposes Jupiter, making for the possibility of emotional conflict on the social scene, probably based in nothing more than temper over-excited by a casual remark (Gemini v Sagittarius). 8 PM PST the Moon squares Chiron; touchiness is in the air–better to keep what you think you know (Moon in Sag) to yourself.

I won’t be posting anymore for a few days, at least–as we all must, I need to concentrate on what pays–the above paragraph is from the current ECLIPSE; if you’d like the complete daily forecast (and more!) either Weekly or daily, please subscribe–thank you!

Just a Little Lunar Essence 3 February 2013: ‘Transmissions Down!’

‘Letter Rack’ Edward Collier c1698 {{PD-Art}}

On 3 February at 1 PM PST the Scorpio Moon quincunxes Ceres, requiring we adjust our emotional attitude to the demands of authorities or Mom–negotiation may be needed, to smooth things out. 6 PM PST sees the Moon conjunct the North Node and opposed Sedna. We may be lost at this point, and trying to use intuition or feeling as a life compass; this will be ineffective, and could blunt our faith in our own intuitive abilities if we persist. Instead accept that transmissions are down, and sit tight.

‘Dawn’ by EH Smart 1907 {{PD-Art}}

From the current ECLIPSE:

10 AM PST the Libra Moon trines Jupiter and opposes Pallas. We feel like we should do it, and do it big, but oh, how ill-advised that would be! (Stupid seemed a little harsh, but would be just as accurate!) Step back, talk all you want, but do let some time pass before committing to that “great idea”. At 11 AM PST the Moon quincunxes Chiron; we are doing a dance, trying to avoid stepping on already-hurt toes–we may find it exhausting. Disengage, just a bit. 4 PM PST the Moon trines Vesta, and by 5 squares Pluto. In honoring all that we see as sacred, we may be inadvertently destructive, inexplicably filled with rage, or devastatingly final in our interactions. We may crush what we otherwise cherish–please proceed with care. An 8 PM PST trine of Moon to Sun may raise spirits, and chase away the gloom.

New issue arrives tonight Pacific time, featuring the article ‘Neptune and the Spiritual Quest’ as well as the complete aspect and Lunar forecast–order now!
