MOON AND LEO

After 12 noon today EST moon moves into Leo. Today is a day where you don’t look back. Moon touches venus and saturn for some good sober insights via drama. Like being in your own Greek tragedy, but you know you’re one of the stars and you’ve been rehearsing, by Jove! So much and so well that you receive a standing ovation.

It’s the applause that matters today; but also, when you leave the stage and enter the wings you are embraced by the hush of admiration. Respect and affection. Expect to feel those about yourself also.

MOON INTO CANCER

Late this morning on the East Coast of the USA. The Moon’s clingy, emotional and yes, motherly face is just inches away from all that we do. Venus, (love and money) will get a glance from Mother Moon: “don’t your dare hike that skirt up any farther, young lady,” or “mind your manners but here, have some pie bubutchka,” to the men.

Then Moon opposes Pluto and squares Saturn. Not again! Heads hung in defeat, tears falling to the ground like rain, like dancing fingers. Pluto/Saturn say:straighten up and fly right. Alas the one in dismay can only cry, for now.

CHIRON VIA JUPITER

Centaur man goes to his ruler and suckles. Nice dose of nourishing milk from big papa. Funny that the male should be playing the role of mother, but why not, it’s almost 2012!

So this means?… The hurting complex wants to be healed. Time to get pregnant. The male principle is pregnant. Quite amusing. How’s he going to give birth? How will he/we deliver ourselves of our complexes?

URANUS DIRECT

Surprise! Uranus turns direct today! We’ll be getting  ‘gotchas’ and our revelations, oh and then uranus squares mercury. Higher mind elbows lower mind, says get your game one. It’s time to rise above your own pettiness, okay? It’s time to get weird so don’t flake out and stay stuck in ruts, and dysfunctional patterns of behavior and thinking.

Plus the full moon within the next 24 hours will light up number 10.

VIRGO MOON TODAY

Moon is active! In virgo, she wants to organize and get clear, make her way through her list of chores. And she’s got saturn and ceres both riding shotgun.  It’s tight up there in the front seat. The gang of three sit in back (jup, chiron, nep) creating mischief. It’s hard to concentrate with them constantly reminding her and the other chiefs that it’s time for potty break. And break they will, all of them when moon opposes uranus. That’s when the car swerves off the road barely missing lightposts and curbs and pedestrians and traffic. Do they end up at the gas station toilet facilities where they fight over who gets to go first? Or else do they crash through the window of a library? Or worse, police station? Anybody hurt? Hold on to your hats. Sun soon to be trining Juno will be the authority figures arriving on scene to clean up the mess.

SUN QUIN PLUTO

The Sun quincux pluto, two forces jumping around on a trampolene, great if they were in synch but they’re not. The trampolene is a cheapy and when the Sun does his dramatic moves Pluto lands even harder. Basically trampolene collapses under their one-upmanship antics. Solution: they should either stop jumping or get a sturdier trampolene. In life these two titans are just not understanding the problem since they’re both hell bent on doing it their way.

Neptune opposite Pallas might be able to take these two aside and either ply them with alcohol to calm them down or else talk some sense into them. Oh it’s going to be a bitch-slapping kind of day. When moon squares mars later it’s time to leave the playground! Let the big guns go at it, mentally put a force field around them, and leave them to their devices. Let’s hope they don’t detonate anything in particular.

POST ECLIPSE

Whew, that was close! A close call for sure. If this eclipse hit your chart in any important way then you know what I mean. Endings and beginnings. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

It lit up certain houses in my own chart and damned if the events didn’t play out according to the meaning of the houses, along with the house rulers and where they are placed…

But –we’re moving out of the crazy zone and there should be a slight giddiness in the air because we all got through it. Or not! And if not, or if so, will there be fallout in the future? Well, of course. There’s always fallout. They say no good deed goes unpunished and I could never understand the aphorism.

Now I understand it though. All good deeds are self-serving if only in the most unobtrusive and incomprehensible way. To be human means me first. Ego makes the man/woman. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here grappling with all this physical dimension reality. Me first engenders consequences.

Cause and effect. Maybe I’ve learned through this eclipse that the effect is there to be transmuted, and transmuted again, until you’re old or dead. Until there’s nothing left but energy. Distilled into nothingness. I’ll keep you posted on my theory!

SAME DEAL

Moon in taurus throws his weight around today, first by pushing those three weirdos out of the way (jupiter, neptune, chiron, all of them thinking that the bull is just a plain old bull, an animal for pete’s sake — of course the bull doesn’t give a hoot what they think and you shouldn’t either, they take themselves way too seriously).

After moon in taurus bumps them out of his path he goes on to sextile uranus in pisces. Ah, a little sweet drink of water please, and oh! didn’t know the drinking trough was over here!!! Cool!

Lilith and Pallas are having words. Compromise is necessary between these two women. Lilith might seem as though she’s undoing something and Pallas might seem as though SHE is there to save the day. In capricorn and leo… well, these two are tough. I am not sure they’ll be able to work it out.

ADJUSTING WITH THE SENSES

Taurus moon today. Stable, earthy, a sweet bull eating the daisies. Just don’t antagonize the poor dear because when he gets angry he is out of control.

Sun is moving to conjunct mercury and the two of them will then in-conjunct the trio that is jupiter, neptune and chiron. All at about 25 degrees. Major adjustments needing to take place. Aaaargh. Adjusting is a painfully tedious thing and takes a lot of practise and precision. Just a little more here, no! a little less there! Expect these convolutions in the mind… and anywhere life is being exaggerated. Cause mirages do exist.

Also lilith is trining sedna: the muses are calling, don’t get shipwrecked by some woman or female wile, and that includes your own anima. The two of them are being confronted by pallas whose wisdom and forethought and shield do intimidate. So, there is a solution. Just keep your eye out for that shining figure, the one with courage, the one who takes action.

And you know the solar eclipse is right around the corner, right?

NEPTUNE HAS IT

Moon still in aquarius is stimulating those large events and Neptune will probably have the bigger say: oceans, legends, mirages, fog and rain, manna…

We’re heading to the solar eclipse on the 22nd. We’re in that zone already. Are you swimming, drifting in a life boat, on a cruise liner, or heading into a dive?
