The Essence for 2 June 2011: Drawing Strength, Avoiding Pitfalls

3 AM PDT sees the Moon trine Vesta; we are bolstered by home, by communion with those intimate to us, and by those things to which we're dedicated. It's as if we draw strength and support from our choices–a nice … Continue reading →

The Essence for the Solar Eclipse of 1 June 2011: Making Manifest the Desire

Solar eclipse occurs at 2:02 PM PDT at 11 Gemini 01. Using our usual 2 degree orb, we have only two aspects for this eclipse: trines to Saturn and h.Zeus. A Solar eclipse is, in a symbolic sense, a big, … Continue reading →

The Essence for 31 May 2011: 'Open Mind, Allow Input'

Moon conjuncts Mercury at 7:30 AM Pacific; in Taurus this might be both comforting (we are somehow reassured by our own thoughts, and by our material circumstances) and may encourage a kind of closed minded-ness–we are snug within our mental worlds, why leave, or let anything contrary in? The trick is to enjoy the comfort [...]

The Essence for 30 May 2011: The Pleasure Principle

Just before noon Pacific the Moon squares Pallas; what feels good may not be wise–don't ignore this in favor of devotion to the pleasure principle–take a very conservative course at this time–wait if possible. Prior to 2 PM PDT the Moon trines Juno, showing us the truly empowering choice–NOW go! 4 PM PDT and the [...]

The Essence for 29 May 2011: Down to the Bone

Just before 4 PM Pacific the Moon sextiles Chiron; the sense is of almost an insistence on seeing hurt via our relationships to others through material things. We need to realize that our perspective on this issue is not an objective one, but one that has invested objects or assets with an exaggerated meaning; we [...]

The Essence for 28 May: Mostly Placid

Just before 4 PM PDT the Moon trines the North Node in Fire, lighting up the emotional consequences of the life direction; suddenly we see where we're headed, for better or worse It's a slow day, Lunar-ly speaking. Subscribers, sorry, will get the June issue out TODAY!! Tagged: Moon in Aries, My Daily Astrology Diary, [...]

The Essence for 27 May 2011: Follow the Will

1:30 PM PDT and the Moon opposes Saturn; either we put on the brakes ourselves, or someone does it for us. Saturn is virtually at a standstill in prep for direction on June 12th, making it feel like we're hitting a brick wall. The intuition can't seem to get around it, and the emotional perceptions [...]

The Essence for 26 May 2011: Relaxing Into the Void

There's a Void that lasts through 5:36 PM PDT when the Moon enters Aries; until then, know that things are unlikely to go as anticipated and unexpected events, no-shows, and disinterest will be the order of the day. A Void Pisces Moon is about as void-y as we can get, with distraction, dreaming, and chillin' [...]

The Essence for 25 May 2011: Nature is a Woman

Here are the two most exciting Lunar periods for the 25th; since one is very early, I thought I should publish early, so you can take full advantage of it. 3 AM is the Moon's sextile to Venus; Venus is in her dignity (a sign she rules) and the Moon is in the sign of [...]
