The Essence for 10 August 2011: Heartening News

Around 3 AM Pacific Ceres retros back into the 29th degree of Pisces, putting her into a state of stress, and bringing her focus from Self-assertion (Aries) to concern with the Collective (Pisces). Authority and power makes a (probably refreshing) … Continue reading →

The Essence for 9 August 2011: Puttin' On the Fancy

Around noon the Sagittarius Moon sextiles Neptune and trines Mercury, and both are retro and at 29 tense degrees. The fibs may fly, not 'cause anyone is bent on deceiving, but just because it's so easy–the spinning of stories happens … Continue reading →

The Essence for 8 August 2011: Listen to Mom

Merc retreats to 29 degrees of Leo today; this may very actively feel like a personal retreat that places a lot of undefinded, nebulous stress on the individual, as Merc follows retro Neptune on his retreat back into the previous … Continue reading →

The Weekend Essence 5,6 & 7 August 2011: Weighing the Options

We start the evening of the 5th when at 8 PM PDT the Moon opposes Jupiter; will it be a face-off with society (which may take place in no bigger an arena than your living room?) or a desire to … Continue reading →

The Essence for 5 August 2011: Water Seeks Its Own Level

By 5 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes Sedna, and we lose our previous clarity (if that isn't totally ironic during a Merc retro); best to just relax into it, and refuse to demand answers from the emotions. There's a long … Continue reading →

"An energy in a sign does its best to conform to the dictates of the sign, but cannot rid itself of its own innate nature" That's from a new, short post, 'Mars Into Cancer: Are We Passive-Aggressive Yet?' which joins … Continue reading →

The Essence for 3 August 2011: Walking Beside the River

Moon enters Libra at 3:04 AM Pacific time, and immediately opposes Ceres, quincunxes Neptune, and squares Mars. So much at 00, so much raw, fresh, and unformed! We're in the danger zone, alright–and should expect challenges from authority or those … Continue reading →

The Essence for 2 August 2011: Blame It On Virgo

All quiet on the Lunar front until 2 PM PDT, when the Moon creates a T-square with the Nodal axis, followed at 3:30 PM PDT by the Moon's trine to Sedna. This suggests a bit of an emotional showdown over … Continue reading →

Bulletin: the Universe, Don Draper, and Dream Life

What the Universe is Made Of This is what I wrote last week about this past Sunday: "Just after noon of the 31st, the Moon trines the North Node–and at about the same time the Moon also forms a loose … Continue reading →
