Our friend the Moon will be finishing up in Aries this morning---sextile Chiron exact at 6:10 am PST, then sextile Neptune exact at 9:52 am PST when she goes Moon Void of Course till 7:33 pm PST at which time Moon enters Taurus, heading towards a trine with Pluto at midnight PST. A morning of sensitivity, dreaminess, awareness of childhood woundings followed by a no-mojo-just-chill kind of day, then an evening of deep, intense passionate feelings.

There is an email to contact wtaf inside the link on the lower left labelled "it's not all about me".

The Birthcard today is the 10 of Clubs, a Solar expression of a Mars core and some flexibility to experience a Venus or Mercury core with a Jack of Spades inside and a 4 of Spades outside. 10Cs include Phil Collins, Jack Abramoff, Paul Krugman, Steven Chu, Richard Dawkins, Erica Jong, Barbra Streisand, and Shirley MacLaine.

Feb 27 2009

The Jupiter/Mercury/Juno/Mars (stellium) conjunct is spreading out a bit, but not till Moon in Aries near Venus gives them a bit of emphasis throughout today. Moon will be sextile Jupiter exact just after noon PST, conjunct Venus exact at 3:57 pm PST, sextile Juno exact at 5:32 pm PST, sextile Mercury exact at 8:20 pm PST, then sextile Mars exact at 10:48 pm PST. The stellium sextile Venus has been poetically described in previous posts; it should be a relatively harmonious emphasis by the Moon today, but expect more relational/nesting/attraction flavors today.

There is a significant slow moving conjunction that will be with us through the beginning of 2012: Chiron conjunct Neptune in Aquarius. Mercury and Mars will be joining this conjunct in the next few days, so expect to be hearing more from/about the pair soon. Chiron is best known as the "wounded healer", associated with childhood woundings that have the potential to become gifts. Neptune is just plain mysterious. There is potential for a greater acceptance of "non-traditional" healing modalities over the next few years as the many heavenly bodies sweep across this pair.

The Birthcard today is the Jack of Clubs, a Uranus expression of a Venus core, with a Jack of Diamonds inside and a 10 of Hearts outside. JCs include Rahm Emanuel, Ralph Nader, Oprah, Susie Bright, Jim Fixx, and Paula Abdul, whether they know it or not.

Feb 26 2009

If you felt like pulling the sheets up and staying in bed more so than usual this morning, Moon is Void of Course till 1:24 pm PST when Moon enters Aries. Moon will be square Pluto exact at 6:48 pm PST. Be aware of potential for power struggles, obsessive emotions, but also a chance to see the beasties inside. If it seems like more of the same, it is: we still have Jupiter/Mercury/Juno/Mars conjunct sextile Venus and square Vesta. More relating, more digging. Whaddya really want? This would not be a good time for a shaky couple to watch "Bridges of Madison County" together, although the theme is fitting of current transits.

The Birthcard today is the Queen of Clubs, a Mercury expression of a Mars core, with a 3 of Hearts inside and a 10 of Diamonds outside. QCs include Michael Bolton, Robert Novak, Arthur Laffer, Aaron Spelling, Cher, and Paul McCartney.

Feb 25 2009

With the stellium (see last couple posts) continuing to emphasize relational stuff for lack of better words, Moon in Pisces will be sextile Vesta exact at 7:12 am PST. Probably a bit of easing on the relational tension if it has not already lifted. However, later in the day, Moon will be lighting up the Saturn/Uranus opposition, opposite Saturn exact at 5:26 pm PST and conjunct Uranus exact at 10:09 pm PST when she goes Moon Void of course till tomorrow afternoon. Likely a bit of upsetting the apple cart this evening, with not much relief tomorrow morning. The usual advice, just chill.

Speaking of Saturn, remember that those born around September, ie Virgos or anytime in the years 1955, 1984 may be feeling a bit repressed, oppressed, heavy, squishy, as Saturn in retrograde is backing up into Virgo near those Natal Suns for the prior, and near the Natal Sarturn for the latter through May 2009. Anything superficial in your life, anything non-essential, anything repressed and put off for later will likely get attention for the next few months. Saturn gets a bad rap for good reasons, but can be an ally as the stern teacher of tough love.

The Birthcard today is the King of Clubs, a double Uranus with a 2 of Spades inside and an 8 of Spades outside. KCs include Keith Olbermann, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Chaka Khan, Ric Ocasek, Barry Manilow, Gary Stadler, Jesse Ventura, and James "J Bob Dobbs" Dobson.

Feb 24 2009 New Moon

Not that there is really an old Moon, even though marketeers would like to sell you a new one. The one and only Moon enters Pisces, her home away from home right before the crack of Dawn today after being Void of Course overnight. Moon will be sextile Pluto, exact at 10:33 am PST, then conjunct Sun exact at 5:35 pm PST. The continuing stellium of Jupiter/Mercury/Juno/Mars is not being transited by the Moon, but the Pluto sextile would indicate a need for depth over superficiality which will likely be in context of relationship if there is one. New Moon is a beginning, as the Moon begins the two week waxing phase, so anything stuck or stagnant may wake up around now.

The Birthcard today is the Ace of Diamonds, a Jupiter expression of a Neptune core, with a 2 of Diamonds inside and an Ace of Hearts outside. ADs include George Soros, Angela Davis, Ray Conniff, Paul Hogan, Dennis Kucinich, and Gerald R. Ford.

Feb 23 2009

The stellium is still with us, Mercury/Jupiter/Juno/Mars conjunct; while Moon in Aquarius will be conjunct Chiron exact at 1:49 pm PST, then conjunct Neptune exact at 6:09 pm PST, when she goes Moon Void of Course till early tomorrow morning. May be a bit of revisiting childhood woundings that have potential to turn into gifts if they have not already. Illusions, delusions, fantasies are likely to take centerstage tonight, but avoid self-medication as hypersensitvity will be part of the experience. The veil between worlds may be thinner than usual, and there won't be much traction for action tonight. Best to reflect on things rather than react to perceptions, no matter how colorful they may be.

The Birthcard for today is the 2 of Diamonds, a Mars expression of a Saturn core with a 6 of Clubs inside and an Ace of Diamonds outside. 2Ds include Corazon Aquino, Viktor Yushchenko, Modest Mussorgsky, Rosie O'Donnell, Dudley Moore, Johannes Gutenberg, Ole Evinrude, Trent Reznor, and Howard Jones.

Feb 22 2009

Mercury is joining the Jupiter/Juno/Mars conjunction, technically a stellium now, adding a bit of expression or expressive flair to the home/relation meme. With Vesta square and Venus sextile, this is quite a combo, Home on the Range meets Vicki Christina Barcelona. Hopefully set to the music of the latter. This time with feeeeling: Our friend the Moon in Aquarius will be enhancing the experience, lighting this up today---conjunct Mercury exact at 1:33 pm PST, conjunct Jupiter exact at 4:33 pm PST, square Vesta exact at 7:50 pm PST, conjunct Juno exact at 8:43 pm PST, conjunct Mars exact at 10:48 pm PST. When Moon transits a cluster such as this, the individual flavors are less obvious, except when the transit also happens to nail someting on your natal/birth chart---rather like a good pot of soup which is more than just the individual ingredients---although one will recognise individual parts within the combo, in context with the combo. Hungry for life yet? With it's myriad of nuances combining in new ways to make yet new nuances? Me too. This is a good day for it.

The Birthcard today is the 3 of Diamonds, a Mercury expression of a Uranus core, with a 6 of Hearts inside and a Queen of Diamonds outside. 3Ds include John Belushi, Neil Diamond, Oral (!) Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Edward Kennedy, Fred Rogers, Rick Moranis, and Pierce Brosnan.

Feb 21 2009

Sun is/was exact sextile Pluto last night in the wee hours, amd Moon will be Void of Course from dark-thirty last night till 6:06 pm PST when she enters Aquarius. The Sun/Pluto sextile points towards a bit of rummaging around in the depths, changing or upheaving anything no longer appropriate in one's sphere. The continuing Mars/Juno/Jupiter trio sextile Venus and square Vesta suggests relationship(s) may have the centerstage of attention. Otherwise, with Moon VOC most of the day, likely to be an inertial day---[warning, nerdy analogy] if today was a flying device, it would be a glider till evening. Or maybe a sailboat without wind. Just relax where you are.

The Birthcard today is the 4 of Diamonds, a Neptune expression of a Venus core, with a 5 of Spades inside and a 5 of Hearts outside. 4D incarnations include Antonio Villaraigosa, Jake Steinfeld, David Geffen, Richard Tarnas, Ornette Coleman, Brian Eno, William Butler Yeats, and James Clerk Maxwell.

Feb 20 2009

Our friend the Moon in Capricorn will be, or was if you were still in dreamland, square Venus exact at 5:21 am PST, and trine Vesta exact at 6:05 am PST. Along with the Jupiter/Mars/Juno trio sextile Venus, likely to be a good relational morning. You may read into that what you wish, but better yet, once you are done reading, go forth and relate. Later in the day Moon will be trine Saturn exact at 9:10 pm PST, which tends to bring on a reflective, contemplative mood. Possibly alone, but not lonely.

The Birthcard today is the 5 of Diamonds, a Saturn implementation of a Neptune core, with a 9 of Diamonds inside and a 3 of Clubs outside. 5D incarnations include Neil Bush, Sam Cooke, Patty Hearst, Ivana Trump, Peter Graves, Dusty Springfield, and Herbie Mann.

Feb 19 2009

While the Mars/Jupiter/Juno trio conjunction remain sextile Venus and square Vesta, Moon in Capricorn will be sextile Sun exact at 7:43 am PST; then conjunct Pluto exact at 11:06 am PST. After an easy morning, there may be some deep, penetrating conversations of the "where this relationship is going" variety. Moon/Pluto can be overwhelmingly intense emotionally, and Vesta square the trio may point to the nesting urge as much as the hedonist urge of Venus sextile the trio.

The Birthcard today is the 6 of Diamonds, a Jupiter expression of a Mercury core, with a 9 of Clubs inside and a 3 of Spades outside. 6Ds include Geena Davis, Paul Allen, Seal, Rudolf Nureyev, Nat King Cole, Stevie Wonder, Tom Hanks, Raquel Welch, and Freddie Mercury.

Feb 18 2009

As Sun enters Pisces, Moon in Sagittarius will be less fun than yesterday: square Saturn exact at 8:40 am PST, square Uranus exact at 11:51 am PST. Moon will be sextile Neptune exact at 5:37 pm PST, when she goes Moon Void of Course till dawn tomorrow. Possible flavors would be upset of something in place, followed by fantasies that, juicy as they are in the moment, don't have any traction. Chill in the evening, watch a good arthouse movie.

The Birthcard of the day is the 7 of Diamonds, a double Venus with a "veiled" double Saturn inside and outside. 7D incarnations include George Carlin, Matt Dillon, Yoko Ono, Pat Nixon, Henny Youngman, Julie Christie, Paul Begala, F. Lee Bailey, and George Burns.

Feb 17 2009

Our feeling friend the one and only Moon in Sagittarius will be harmoniously lighting up the Mars/Jupiter/Juno conjunction which is sextile Venus. This is Love and lust in the air, a post Valentine nudge, so to speak. Moon will be sextile Jupiter exact at 1:12 pm PST, sextile Mars exact at 1:26 pm PST, trine Venus exact at 1:41 pm PST, and sextile Juno exact at 3:27 pm PST. There may be a bit of an urge for family, or a desire for home and hearth in the midst of the more primal desires, as Vesta is square the Mars/Jupiter/Juno trio---post Valentine proposals in addition to propositions.

The Birthcard today is the 8 of Diamonds, a crown card with a Jupiter core, with a Queen of Spades inside and a 7 of Clubs outside. 8Ds include Paris Hilton, Dolly Parton, Fabio Lanzoni, Al Green, Sly Stone, Martha Quinn, and Jim Jeffords.

Feb 16 2009 Moon Third Quarter

Post Valentine's Day Venus is still sextile Mars and Juno is still conjunct Jupiter; so any sensation of alone-ness last night was hopefully just a passing mood, as Moon was square Chiron late dark-thirty last night and will be or was square Neptune exact at 5:12 am PST. This would not be a good morning for some of the dog that bit you. Moon will be square Sun exact at 1:37 pm PST, when she goes Moon Void of Course till 4:53 pm PST when she enters Sagittarius. This evening, any pressure that was building may start to release; good communication is likely from Moon sextile Mercury, exact at 10:35 pm PST.

The Birthcard today is the 9 of Diamonds, a Uranus implementation of a Mars core, with a Queen of Diamonds inside and a 5 of Diamonds outside. 9Ds include Barack Obama, Ray Dolby, Cleveland Amory, Sylvester Stallone, Dubya, and Francis Crick.

Feb 15 2009

Hopefully your evening was sufficiently infused with Eros from yesterday to offset the square transits overnight, Moon square Mars, Vesta, Jupiter (not so hard), Juno, north/south node axis all in the wee hours while you slept dreaming of or with your beloved.

Later today Moon in Scorpio will be harmoniously lighting the long lasting Saturn/Uranus opposition; Moon will be sextile Saturn exact at 9:05 pm PST and trine Uranus exact at 11:33 pm PST. Not harshly so, but in contrast to the ideals of yesterday's celebration of Eros, there may be a tinge of seclusion, seeking something new, unless that is experienced as a delayed Valentine's Day.

The Birthcard of today is the 10 of Diamonds, a double Jupiter, with a Queen of Clubs inside and a Queen of Spades outside. P. T. Barnum, Martha Stewart, Gloria Estefan, Phil McGraw, Zooey Deschanel, Andy Kaufman, Douglas Hofstadter, and Sammy Kaye are all examples of the 10 of Diamonds incarnate.

Feb 14 2009

For the day of Valentine a backdrop of Juno just past conjunct Jupiter and Venus just past sextile Mars sets the mood for more than food, so to speak. Our friend the Moon was square Mercury exact at 6:46 am PST before leaving Libra for a brief Moon Void of Course till 6:51 am PST when Moon enters Scorpio. Moon will be sextile Pluto exact at 11:52 am PST, then square Mars exact at 10:24 pm PST. This could be an intense day, with feelings/thoughts being impossible to resolve in the morning; then soon thereafter desire for depth, looking for the spice of life with intrigue of the mysterious. In the evening, wear your seatbelts as irritation, brashness could break the spell.

The Birthcard of the day is the Jack of Diamonds, a Uranus implementation of a Neptune core, with a 3 of Spades inside and a Jack of Clubs outside. Rube Goldberg, Mojo Nixon, Samuel Hahnemann, Ann Landers, Abigail Van Buren, Kirk Kerkorian, Keith Jarrett, Max Von Sydow, Louis Armstrong and the USA were/are all JD. Diamonds, not Daniels.

Feb 13 2009

Juno is just past conjunct Jupiter, while Venus is just past sextile Mars, so likely an underlying theme about relationship over flirt and fling...just in time for Valentine's Day tomorrow. Moon in Libra will be trine Chiron exact at 2:54 pm PST, then trine Neptune exact at 7:41 pm PST, then trine Sun exact at 10:51 pm PST. By the afternoon, we may be feeling a longing to be past woundings to healing; and be dreamily idealistic, charged up with vitality in hoping to find that in time for tomorrow. Spiraling along, the Archetypes would say, do you take this baggage to be your lawfully wedded spouse...?

The number 13. Powerful fears, superstitions, taboos abound. It really is just fine as a number. The King's number for instance. Ace through King. Higher octave of 4 in numerology. Relax, don't feed the momentum of fear---we do individually and collectively make waves happen. Love has been described as resonance, a coherence between seemingly separate entities. Feed that!

The Birthcard today is the Queen of Diamonds, a Saturn implementation of a Mercury core, with a 3 of Diamonds inside and a 9 of Diamonds outside. Captain Beefheart, Lloyd Bridges, Jerry Zucker, Aristotle Onassis share this Birthcard, along with Edward Teller, Antonin Scalia, and Rupert Murdoch.

Feb 12 2009

Moon in Libra will be demanding depth over superficiality this morning, with Moon square Pluto exact at 5:08 am PST, but as Sun just passed exact conjunct Neptune in the wee hours of the morning, the depth may be a bit fuzzy, or the recipient of it may be a bit diffuse and/or think in terms of religious, tripping, or some form of illusion/delusion. Great for Artists, but not for those who don't "get" that particular form of Art. If this seems fuzzy and obtuse, that would be Sun/Neptune. Moon will be lighting up the Venus/Mars sextile in a good way, harmonious go-juice from Moon trine Mars exact at 11:40 am PST and opposite Venus exact at 1:28 pm PST. Moon will be trine Jupiter exact at 4:29 pm PST, so if Mars and Venus don't get the hint earlier, they should at least be holding hands by late afternoon. The rest is up to one's imagination, of which Sun conjunct Neptune will provide plenty.

The Birthcard today is the King of Diamonds, a Mars expression of a Venus core with a 3 of Clubs inside and a 7 of Spades outside. KDs include Charles Darwin, Faye Dunaway, Sharon Stone, Christina Ricci, Ray Manzarek, Seymour Hersh, and Vicente Fox.

Feb 11 2009

Moon in Virgo will be conjunct Saturn exact at 7:43 am PST and opposite Uranus exact at 8:55 am PST, lighting up the Saturn/Uranus opposition, which, due to retrogrades will be with us for most of the year. Saturn is retrograding through May, doing it's "magic squeeze" on many of those with the Sunsign of Virgo; afterwhich it will pass directly opposite Uranus again. Three exact oppositions for the price of one, Nov 2008 (election day, upset of the establishment), last week, and again in Sept 2009. Later in the day today, Moon will be trine Mercury, exact at 8:17pm PST, bringing congruence between thoughts and feelings and the ability to articulate and communicate them in tandem; which should harmonize any upsets of the established order from earlier in the day.

The Birthcard today is the Ace of Spades, a Mercury expression of a Neptune core, with a 7 of Hearts inside and 2 of Clubs outside. Stan Grof, Dan Aykroyd, Sydney Pollack, Chuck Barris, Ravi Shankar, Yuri Gagarin, and Jennifer Aniston are a cast of characters who share this Birthcard, and at least one of them knows it.

Feb 10 2009

Deep dreams as Moon in Virgo was trine Pluto last night in the wee hours, and will be trine Vesta, exact at noon:49 PST. Venus is still sextile Mars, and Jupiter is conjunct Juno. We would expect relations, the one on one kind to be at center stage today, with a bit of urgency and paradoxically a sense of ease.

Archetypal Languages do not provide the answer, they provide hints----you provide the answers, usually in plural.

The Birthcard today is the 2 of Spades, a Neptune implementation of a Mars core, with a 6 of Spades inside and a King of Clubs outside. 2Ss include Jeff Bezos, Howard Stern, Heather Mills, Melanie Chrisholm, Alex Comfort, Gary Numan, and Marilu Henner.

Feb 9 2009 Full Moon

Could be an intense morning. Illusions, but not of grandeur; hypersensitive, ouchy touchy. Moon in Leo is full with eclipse, exact at 6:49 am PST. As Sun is conjunct Chiron, Moon will be opposite Chiron exact at 6:59 am PST. Need we cover any of the mythology of Moon opposite Sun aka Full Moon? Moon will be opposite Neptune, exact at 11:29 am PST, when she goes Moon Void of Course till 9:38 pm PST, so schedules allowing, chill today. Likely a case of the Mondays at the Office.

Obtuse elucidation of the inside/outside paradox in honor of the last Mercury Retrograde stiction day having passed: Archetypal Languages including but not limited to Astrology, Metasymbology (Birthcards), and Numerology can provide a correlation or map with/of the collective in relation to self, the "what" in effect; and self gets to evolve in seeming response, the "how" in effect. Yet another paradox is that when we differentiate, we find mirrors and consequently unity; and when we look within, we find the external patterned layer upon layer. Responsibility is taking charge, holding lightly, our response ability. We have been dancing unconsciously and it time to awaken to whom we are.

The Birthcard today is the 3 of Spades, a Saturn implementation of a Jupiter core, with a 6 of Diamonds inside and a Jack of Diamonds outside. 3Ss include a creative mix of characters: Alexander Hamilton, Wilhelm Maybach, Alice Walker, Jim Webb, Lee Ritenour, Naomi Judd, Bette Davis, James Brown, Reverend Ike, and Marilyn Monroe

Feb 8 2009

Moon in Leo was opposite Mars and trine Venus in the wee hours of the morning. Gave a little nudge to the Mars/Venus sextile, if Mars and Venus were together, they felt together with a bit more of that something that Mars and Venus feel together. Moon will be opposite Jupiter exact at 9:43 am PST, and square Vesta exact around noon PST. As Moon is close to the south node this morning, there may be a bit of bessed unrest---a desire for something bigger, more universal, less restricting. The answers may, as usual, be more internal than external. We are headed for a Full Moon with Eclipse tomorrow at the crack of Dawn, so tonight would be as good night as any to howl at the Moon, or at least enjoy the unique beauty of the Moon in full splendor.

The Birthcard of the day is the 4 of Spades, a Jupiter expression of a Venus core, with a 10 of Clubs inside and a 4 of Hearts outside. 4Ss amongst us in body and memory include Rod Stewart, Jim Croce, Maya Angelou, Hugh Masakela, Nick Nolte, James Dean, Alan Greenspan, and Ivan Boesky.

Feb 7 2009

Moon in Cancer was sextile Saturn and trine Uranus shortly before dawn, likely leading to an ease with things that need change, early morning discussions are likely to be fruitful, or at least useful. Moon will be opposite Mercury exact at 11:07 am PST when She goes Moon Void of Course till 8:43 pm PST when Moon enters Leo. Rowr. Along with good insights, it may be harder to differentiate feelings and intellect. May be a lazy day till the evening. Follow the Beatles, let it be is a good strategy during Moon VOC. Mars is still sextile Venus, and Juno is conjunct Jupiter; both enhancing bonding, relational ways of relating, so to speak. Reach out to somebody, even somebody you already think you know. Sun is almost conjunct Chiron, so relationships of any kind are a good place to work through past woundings, through to the gifts that are within.

The Birthcard today is the 5 of Spades, a Venus expression of a Mars core with a 10 of Hearts inside and a 4 of Diamonds outside. Sinclair Lewis, Jane Goodall, Jimmy Page, Eddie Izzard, Emo Philips, Rex Harrison, and Eddie Murphy are quite a cast of characters sharing this Birthcard.

Feb 6 2009

Moon at home in Cancer was opposite Pluto and Square Venus just after midnight last night or this morning----as if to give an extra kick to the now separating Venus/Pluto square. Hope the struggles were worth the snuggles. Mid evening, early dark-thirty, Moon will be entering the orb of sextile Saturn and trine Uranus, which should provide some relief from tensions experienced over the last couple of days---or maybe dreams of revolution going smoothly, or paradoxical dreams of structured change. 

Today's Birthcard is the 6 of Spades, a Neptune implementation of a Uranus core, with a 9 of Spades inside and a 2 of Spades outside. 6Ss include Soupy Sales, Elvis Presley, Stephen Hawking, Natalie Cole, Bob Marley, and Marvin Gaye.

Feb 5 2009

Moon in Gemini will be T-square the Saturn/Uranus opposition exact at 4:45 am PST, just in time for one more round of REM sleep. Any dreams of a upset and/or alone themes are a safe place for the Archetypes to play out, relatively speaking. Fortunately, Moon will also be trine Chiron at that time, and the Saturn/Uranus opposition is moving away, ever so slowly, just past the exact as of this morning. Moon will be trine Neptune, exact at 9:45 am PST, when she goes into Moon Void of Course till 8:06 pm PST, then into Cancer, right at home. Venus is exact square Pluto this evening, so in the event of any discord betwixt you and yours, don't panic. Of course, don't stay with the bad year blimp, but don't throw out a good connection either. These kinds of transits test, in a way, the strength of connections. So, imaginative and dreamy from Neptune trine, low mojo from Moon VOC, and domestic struggle from Venus/Pluto in that order are likely moods tomorrow.

The Birthcard today is the mystical Seven of Spades, a Uranus implementation of a Jupiter core, with a King of Diamonds inside and an Eight of Hearts outside. 7Ss include Nicolas Cage, Kenny Loggins, Katie Couric, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gill Scott-Heron, Rachael Maddow, and the master of capitalism Charles Ponzi. Notice the contrast of the last two, one exposes mysteries lucidly, the other was good at keeping mysteries for a while.

Feb 4 2009

Moon in Gemini was/is trine Jupiter at 6:08 am PST, and is sextile/trine the north/south node axis today. Moon will be trine Sun at 10:00 pm PST. All these trines are indicitave of good feelings all around; and should mellow out some of the struggle experience in relationship(s) from the Venus/Pluto square which will be exact tomorrow evening.

The Birthcard today is the Eight of Spades, a Jupiter implementation of a Saturn core, with a King of Clubs inside and a Six of Clubs outside. 8Ss include Syd Barrett, John DeLorean, Sun Myung Moon, John Lilly, Karen Carpenter, Theodor (Dr.Seuss himself) Geisel, and Rosa Parks.

Feb 3 2009

Moon in Taurus was busy last night, leaving a residual of trine Saturn and trine Mercury to offset the Moon square Neptune, exact at 7:21 am PST. Heightened sensitivity with a bit of an edge, illusions and escapism, definitely not a good day for a beer breakfast. By late afternoon and evening, better for getting things done, as Moon will be trine Mars, exact at 5:27 pm PST, then Void of Course briefly till 6:14 pm PST when she emerges into Gemini and is sextile Venus, exact at 7:38 pm PST. The snuggle/struggle paradox mentioned 2/2 last post will likely lean towards snuggle by dark-thirty. Carpe Evening!

The Birthcard of this day is the Nine of Spades, a Venus expression of a Uranus core with a King of Hearts inside and a Six of Spades outside. This is the Willie and Betty Card of transformation, as in will he make it, bet he won't, but he usually does. Jean Dixon, Morgan Fairchild, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Walter Mondale, Henry Heimlich, Ron Howard all share this Birthcard along with the quintessential Nine of Spades: Marilyn Manson.

Feb 2 2009 Moon first Quarter

Moon in Taurus was square Jupiter at dark thirty last night, how were your dreams? Moon is square the north/south node axis today, and of course square the Sun exact at 3:13 pm PST. Things that have been bottled up may start moving today, for better or worse depending on one's perspective. Venus is still sextile Mars while approaching square Pluto, so there may be some mixed messages for the next week or so regarding romance---snuggles and struggles---feelgood, attracted, new ideas and comfortable initially with changes; but drawn into power struggles over changes or lack of change.

The birthcard today is the 10 of Spades, a Mercury expression of a Jupiter core with a 4 of Hearts inside and a Queen of Hearts outside. 10S incarnations include Shakira, Christie Brinkley, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Dyan Cannon, Graham Nash, Stan Getz, Frank Wess, and Mahavishnu John McLaughlin.

Feb 1 2009

Do you remember any dreams from last night as Moon was sextile Neptune? Our friend the Moon will be square Mars, exact at 10:08 am PST, when she goes Moon Void of Course till 2:09 pm PST, then enters Taurus. Moon will be trine Pluto, exact at 6:17 pm PST and square Juno, exact at 10:29 pm PST. The morning may have a bit of an edge to it, be aware of disputes, edginess, excessive boldness. Wear you seatbelt. Not much mojo through lunch, good for a Sunday afternoon movie. Deep, intense emotions and passion towards dusk. Russian in a way.

The Birthcard today is the Jack of Spades, a Mars expression of a Uranus core with a 7 of Clubs inside and a 10 of Clubs outside. JSs include Lisa Marie Presley, Clark Gable, Boris Yeltsin, Fritjof Capra, Brandon Lee, Victoria Principal, J R R Tolkein, Victor Borge, and Ned Lamont.
