Nov 30 2009

Moon in Taurus starts off the day square Mars, and sweeps square the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio in the afternoon and evening. Moon is also sextile the Uranus/Juno pair in the early evening. Possibility of a restless edge today, look to unlikely or unusual places to find stability, grounding.

The Birthcard of the day is the Three of Hearts, a double Mercury, with an Ace of Hearts inside and a Queen of Clubs outside. Paraphrasing: the heart has reasons that reason does not understand. Woodrow Wilson, Dick Clark, Mark Twain, Earl Hines, Billy Idol, Winston Churchill, William H. Gates, Sr. , Linus Torvalds, Denzel Washington, Edgar Winter, Abbie Hoffman, Ben Stiller, and of course Samuel Clemens are incarnational expressions of this Card, or visa versa.

Nov 29 2009

Moon in Taurus starts off the day trine Pluto in search of depth, only to be a bit stymied by being inconjunct Saturn. Mercury begins a sweep sextile of the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio over the next few days, a good time to elucidate and articulate those child hood ideals, or just childhood stuff that may be surfacing today in particular. The cliche "expect the unexpected" may also apply, as Mercury will also be square the Uranus/Juno pair in the next few days. Regardless, there is likely an underlying feeling, or reference of a stable Heart today.

Today's Birthcard is the Four of Hearts, a Neptune implementation of a Mercury core, with a Four of Spades inside and a Ten of Spades outside. Jacques Chirac, Petra Kelley, Chiang Kai-Shek, Alex Grey, Johannes Kepler, Julie Dreyfus, Louis Pasteur, Joel Coen, Dan Rather, Diane Ladd, Howie Mandel, John Candy, Marlene Dietrich, and John Keats are various incarnations expressing through this Card whether they know/knew it or not.

Nov 28 2009

Moon in Aries starts off the day in a grand trine with Mercury and Mars. If there ever was a good time to communicate and articulate with passion and intensity, this would be it. Then Moon sweeps sextile the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, going Moon Void of Course at 3:33 pm PST with an inconjunct Venus. Be careful of WTFs involviing those close and/or in relationship with you, and today is likely a good day. An evening for chilling, go see an Arthouse Flick, just not on a first date.

Today's Birthcard is the Five of Hearts, a Saturn implementation of a Venus core, with a Four of Diamonds inside and a Five of Clubs outside. John Adams, Jon Stewart, Randy Newman, Anna Nicole Smith, Henry Wrinkler, Mao Tse Toung, Phil Spector, Grace Slick, Gary Hart, Charles Atlas, Gato Barbieri, William Blake, Frederich Engels, Steve Allen, John Scofield, and Kitty Dukakis are incarnational expressions of this Card.

Nov 27 2009

Happy Buy Nothing Day. Sometimes, less is more. Moon in Aries was square Pluto and opposite Saturn overnight, hope your dreams were the only place with turmoil. Dreams are truly one of the safest places for the Archetypes to act out. Less physical harm happens there. Moon starts out the day trine The Sun, which should mellow things out a bit, but there is likely a bit of a driving edge to the day. Mercury is approaching a sextile sweep of the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio. Over the next week, possibly better communication, articulation of childhood dreams we may have been feeling.

The Birthcard of the day is the Six of Hearts, a double Mars, with a a Four of Clubs inside and a Three of Diamonds outside.

Nov 26 2009

Conjunct Uranus and Juno before Dawn, Moon goes for a long Void of Course starting with a trine of Venus at 6:17 am PST and "enters" Aries at 7:11 pm PST. Likely more than usual sleepy times after gorging with high tryptophan foods. Low mojo day, but off to a good start. Zzzzzz.

The Birthcard of the day is Seven of Hearts, a Venus expression of a Mercury core, with an Eight of Hearts inside and an Ace of Spades outside. Varied incarnations of this card include Julia Roberts, Randy Newman, Francis Bacon, Jonas Salk, Rich Little, Truman Capote, Tina Turner, Howard Hughes, Ava Gardner, Bill Gates, and rumor has it Erasmus.

Nov 25 2009

Moon in Pisces will be square Mercury exact at 2:38 pm PST, and also inconjunct Mars. Possibility of a bit of an edge, with some WTF thrown in for good measure. With Venus trine Juno and Uranus, we can at least expect forgiveness, if we drop the barriers and connect. By tomorrow, with Mercury trine Mars, better communication and flow of information, except...we shall see tomorrow.

Note from the blogger: I should point out that my perspective may differ from the "norm" whatever that is, but I believe that any deterministic Archetypal Language, Astrology, Birthcards, Numerology, yada yada, does not describe the soul, rather they are peeks at the overlay that the soul expresses through. Thou art NOT that. The analogy is an old fashioned overhead projector. The lecturer places transparencies on, or writes with felt pen on the surface... and look at all the pretty images and text, information. We are not the structures, or the patterns, or the text, we are the light that shines through them.

Also, possibly another blasphemy: I believe that the reason Astrology and other Archetypal Languages work is because the majority of us (myself included) are still asleep to varying degrees. As we wake up, peel away each layer aha by aha, we start to see the scripts of the show...and some of us continue to delve deeper, ask questions, explore.

The Birthcard of the day is the emotionally powerful Eight of Hearts, a Neptune implementation of a Jupiter core, with a Seven of Spades inside and a Seven of Hearts outside.

Nov 24 2009 First Quarter

Moon wakes up Void of Course, then "enters" Pisces, her home away from home at 8:07 am PST. Moon will be inconjunct Saturn and sextile Pluto around noon PST, and of course square The Sun shortly after at 1:39 pm PST. Likely a need for depth, but a bit frustrating in finding it. The theme of universal love may ring true today, although hard transits, specifically Saturn square Pluto, are still with us, there may be an almost aching longing for connection which can be best reached by letting go and "surrendering".

The Birthcard of today is the Nine of Hearts, a double Saturn with a "veiled" double Venus. Brigitte Bardot, Ed Sullivan, Warren Buffett, Gwyneth Paltrow, Bootsy Collins, Hillary Clinton, Dale Carnigie, Cameron Diaz, Ernest Rutherford, Mira Sorvino, Leon Trotsky, Lady Bird Johnson, Moon Zappa, Scott Joplin, and Seymour Cray are different examples of incarnations expressing through this Birthcard.

Nov 23 2009

Venus begins a square sweep of the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio over the next few days. Moon in Aquarius was opposite Mars overnight, will be square Venus, and will be sweeping conjunct the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio today, ending at 7:36 pm when she goes Moon Void of Course till tomorrow morning. Really, more of the same, with slightly different seasonings on the basic recipe.
Reschedule that first date from tonight to a different evening, however.

Today's Birthcard is the Ten of Hearts, a Jupiter implementation of a Mars core, with a Jack of Clubs inside and a Five of Spades outside. Jane Fonda, Frank Zappa, Harpo Marx, Pablo Picasso, Wesley Snipes, Dinah Washington, J. K. Rowling, Charlie Parker, Ingrid Bergman, Michael Jackson, and Phil Donahue are various examples of expression of this Card.

Nov 22 2009

Moon in Aquarius will meander today, and be sextile Mercury exact at 5:2- pm PST. Likely a good day for writing. Venus is still square Mars; Sun is sextile Saturn. Give and take in the boy/girl (and other permutations) arena, good time for getting things done, or at least started. Some relief from the continuing Saturn square Pluto. Possibly a bit rigid, although with good intentions today.

The Birthcard today is the Jack of Hearts, a Venus expression of a Jupiter core, a source card with the same inside and outside, all JH all the time. Ivan Pavlov, Charles De Gaulle, Lisa Kudrow, Ahnold the Governator, Henry Ford, Olivia Newton John, David Sanborn, T.S. Elliot, Terry Gilliam, Uri Geller, Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis, George Gershwin, and rumor has it, Goethe, are various expressions of this Card.

Nov 21 2009

Moon in Capricorn was sextile Juno/Uranus shortly before dawn, and will be sextile The Sun shortly after dinner. There will be a brief couple of minutes of Moon Void of Course, from 7:04 pm PST till 7:11 pm PST when Moon "enters" Aquarius. Moon will be trine Saturn close to midnight. Likely a bit of a reprieve today from the continuing Saturn square Pluto, which will be that way for a few months. Passion, liberation, repression, upheaval. Pay attention to the Goddess, usually good advice, but today in particular: what do Gaia, Sophia, Diana, Inanna have to say, and where might you listen to them?

The Birthcard today is the Queen of Hearts, a double Neptune with a Ten of Spades inside and a Nine of Clubs outside. Lyndon Johnson, Jennifer Beals, Goldie Hawn, Rene Magritte, Anita Roddick, Christopher Reeve, Edith Piaf, Barbara Walters, Johnny Carson, Will Smith, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and rumor has it, Voltaire, all share this Birthcard.

Nov 20 2009

Moon in Capricorn will be inconjunct Mars and sextile Venus, exact at 3:21 pm PST. If there has been any push/pull or tension with boy/girl (or other permutations) stuff correlated with the current Mars/Venus square; the Venusian side may shine today, while the Marsian side may flounder. Tomorrow will be another story of a different dynamic between the two, but for today it is likely that any feelings or emotions will be powerful.

Today's Birthcard is the powerful King of Hearts, a Mars expression of a Mercury core, with a Two of Clubs inside, and a Nine of Spades outside.

Nov 19 2009

Moon starts off Void of Course, and "enters" Capricorn at 7:01 AM emphasizing the Pluto/Saturn square, conjunct Pluto exact at 10:37 am PST and square Saturn exact at 11:07 am PST. Fortunately, as Pluto is trine Vesta, so is Moon. Amidst sensations of upheaval, feeling restricted, there may be respite from home, wherever that is. Venus is square Mars, so there may be boy/girl (or other permutations) tension. Self knowledge, or knowledge of self may be of particular importance today.

The Birthcard today is the Ace of Clubs, a Mercury expression of a Venus core, paired with the Two of Hearts. It is one of two pairs of Cards that trade places back and forth within each pair. Various incarnational expressions of this Card are Arthur Fiedler, Kenny Werner, Calvin Klein, Alfred Nobel, Jodie Foster, James Garfield, Sean Connery, Slim Pickens, Jack Welch, John Coltrane, Claudia Schiffer, Indira Gandhi, Ray Charles, Dick Cavett, Meg Ryan, and rumor has it Augustus Caesar. Ironically, the character played by Jodie Foster in the Movie "Contact", Ellie Harroway, had this same Birthcard (a different Birthday, but the same Birthcard). The Archetypes have their ways, it seems.

Nov 18 2009

Moon in Sagittarius will be square the Juno/Uranus pair and will sweep sextile the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, ending at 6:46 pm PDT when Moon goes Void of Course till tomorrow morning. Any upsets, fears are likely to have support to see them through. Although relationships, partnering are likely at center stage today, not a good evening for a first date.

The Birthcard today is the Two of Clubs, a Uranus implementation of a Saturn core, with an Ace of Spades inside and a King of Hearts outside. Aldous Huxley, Arthur C. Clarke, Mel Brooks, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Gilda Radner, Ashley Montagu, Tom Petty, Sandra Bullock, Aldous Huxley, Carl Jung, Alan Sheppard, Bela Lugosi, Margaret Mead, Stanley Kubrick, Wynonna Judd, Benny Goodman, Jane Austen, Mick Jagger, and Segolene Royal all share this Birthcard.

Nov 17 2009

Overnight, Moon in Sagittarius was nudging the Mercury/Saturn sextile, which correlates with serious communications; a practical, critical, but not very wide perspective. Moon will be trine Mars much later, exact close to midnight PST, likely a good time to get those things done that were so clearly in thought earlier in the day. Possibility of a restless urge in the air today, one must eventually decide. Maybe tomorrow.

The Birthcard today is the Three of Clubs, a Saturn implementation of a Mars core, with a Five of Diamonds inside and a King of Diamonds outside. Recognizable names of incarnations expressing through this Birthcard include Freeman Dyson, J. Paul Getty, Auguste Lumiere, Helen Keller, Rock Hudson, Bob Hope, John Adams, Howard Dean, JFK, Martin Scorsese, Gustav Holst, H. G. Wells, Bill Murray, and rumor has it, Nero.

Nov 16 2009 New Moon

Moon finishes up in Scorpio, sweeping square the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio; and with The Sun, makes a nice grand trine with Juno/Uranus and the south node. Once again, diverging schools of thought. One puts Moon Void of Course starting at 11:14 am PST, right after New Moon, the other puts Moon Void of Course starting at 8:09 pm PST. Either way, Moon "enters" Sagittarius at 9:22 pm PST. This would be a day to pay attention to when and how the mojo feels to you. Likely a good day for thinking of new ideas.

The Birthcard today is the Four of Clubs, a Mars expression of a Jupiter core, with a Five of Clubs inside and a Six of Hearts outside. Examples of this Birthcard include Spike Jones, Claude Debussy, Pearl Buck, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Pierre Trudeau, Amelia Earhart, Karl Gauss, Werner Von Braun, Sophia Loren, George C.

Nov 15 2009

Saturn passed exact square Pluto this morning, excellent series on that meme starting here. Venus, now square Mars will be lit up by the Moon in Scorpio, conjunct Venus exact at 7:41 am PDT. The Sun is finishing a sweep square the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio and inconjunct the Juno/Uranus pair. Mercury has already moved on to something else to think about. The tightness that has been in the air will likely lift a bit as the day goes on. A good morning to hold someone close and ride the storm together. Possibility of restlessness, curiosity of things, wanting to know.

The Birthcard of the day is the Five of Clubs, a Mercury expression of a Saturn core, with a Five of Hearts inside and a Four of Clubs outside. Hubert Humphrey, Rene Descartes, Rachel Carson, Andrew Carnegie, Cesar Chavez, George Orwell, Beverly D'Angelo, Rita Hayworth, Princess Margaret, Ziggy Marley, Twiggy, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Christopher Dodd, Herb Alpert, Petula Clark, Dick Van Dyke, Arthur Miller, Kim Cattrall, Evel Knievel, Wilt Chamberlain, Kenny Rogers, Al Gore, and rumor has it, Descartes, are incarnational examples of the 5C.

Nov 14 2009

Moon finishes up in Libra this morning, sextile Vesta right at noon PST, then goes Void of Course till 2:24 pm PST, when she "enters" Scorpio in search of some kind of stimulating adventure. Except that the Saturn/Pluto square is approaching exact tomorrow, so there may be a bit of a squishy, pressured upheaval in the air. Although it may be tempting to "force fit" rather than allow today, it would be good to take the higher, deeper path of intuition; rather than stick to the illusionary structure the familiar "law and order" or dogmatic mindset.

The Birthcard today is the Six of Clubs, a Neptune implementation of a Saturn core, with an Eight of Spades inside and a Two of Diamonds outside. Benjamon Harrison, James Monroe, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Yanni, Condoleezza Rice, Aaron Copeland, John Wayne, Rose Kennedy, Tim Robbins, Ann-Margret, Ambrose Bierce, Connie Francis, Dionne Warwick, Jessica Alba, Lady Montagu, Ron Paul, Angela Lansbury, Greta Garbo, Hunter S.

Nov 13 2009

Moon in Libra will be sextile Mars just after dawn this morning, and will sweep trine the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio in the evening. Moon will also be inconjunct the Juno/Uranus pair late at night. Likely a good start today, and then more of the usual as the day passes by, as Moon is transiting the usual suspects. See prior posts. Possibility of feeling good about ideals, but ambivalent about how to and whom with to engage those ideals; with a visit from the melancholy, but innovative genius.

Moon starts off the day Void of Course, and "enters" Libra at 9:22 am PST. She will be lighting up the Saturn/Pluto square, conjunct Saturn exact at 11:53 am PST and square Pluto exact at 12:12 pm PST. Potential to be an intense, heavy day. Themes of power, of and over knowledge may be in the air today.

Nov 11 2009

Happy Armistice Day. On 11/11 at 11 AM the imminent threat of peace breaking out was realized. Only happened rarely since then, 1917. Mercury and The Sun are square the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio and trine the Juno/Uranus pair. Moon in Virgo will be sextile Mercury and The Sun (actually in reverse order), inconjunct the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, and opposite the Juno/Uranus pair. Seems the same themes are likely to get attention today: childhood stuff and the ability to see them through to healing, grand and grandiouse ideals, that fine line between delusions and spirituality, changes or innovations in the relationship arena. Be nice to your proverbial inner child. Possibly a bit of an artsy, sensual vibe likely in the air today, with the caveat that creativity spurred by pain is often quite beautiful, just not fun to be the expresser of such.

The Birthcard today is the 9 of Clubs, a Venus expression of a Saturn core with a Queen of Hearts inside and a 6 of Diamonds outside. 9Cs include William Howard Taft, Ken Wilber whether he likes it or not, Tony Robbins, George McGovern, Gloria Swanson, George Patton, Redd Foxx, Joan Collins, Vikki Carr, Albert King, Samuel Goldwyn, Zane Grey, Edward Murrow, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Lindz Lawlor, Valerie Innes, Mae West, Artie Shaw, Jonathan Winters, Jane Russell, Kirk Douglas, Kurt Vonnegut, Al Pacino, Quentin Tarantino, Guglielmo Marconi, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Nov 10 2009

Moon enters Virgo at the crack of Dawn, will be trine Pluto exact at 8:11 am PST and sextile Venus exact at 11:31 am PST. With Vesta in the vicinity of trine Pluto, Moon lights up a mini grand trine correlating with harmonious depth in relations and home/family. A nice relief from the pressing Saturn Pluto square. See prior posts for slower moving transits. Today, do be aware of the fine line between wanting to know it all, and being the know it all who may or may not.

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 Franklin D.

Nov 9 2009 Moon Last Quarter

Moon in Leo will be square Mercury and The Sun this morning, and will sweep opposite the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio. Moon will also be inconjunct Juno/Uranus, and will finish up conjunct Vesta, exact at 1:04 am PST, i.e. the next morning just past midnight. Then, Moon will be Void of course till just before dawn tomorrow morning. Some schools of thought put Moon Void of Course starting earlier when Moon was opposite Neptune, at 6:43 pm PST. What do you perceive this evening? Bit more of an edge today likely. More childhood stuff, WTF, relationship issues. If the themes seem similar, they are. Moon "lights up" the other heavenly bodies with either hard or soft aspects almost daily, and these correlate with various scenarios playing out. Over and over and over. Pick you delusion, or notice the script being played out and "use" that as an entry point or stepping stone beyond the collective delusion.

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 James Buchanan, William McKinley, Thomas Paine, Rahm Emanuel, Julia Child, Spiro Agnew, Walter Reed, Art Linkletter, Ralph Nader, John Steinbeck, Napoleon Bonaparte, Oprah, Susie Bright, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Roosevelt, Max Planck, Rudolph Steiner, Sergei Prokofieff, Raymond Burr, Lou Gerhig, Howard Cosell, Jim Fixx, Phyllis Diller, Fats Waller, Guy Lombardo, Mel Torme, Aretha Franklin, Shirley Temple, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Paula Abdul, whether they know it or not.

Nov 8 2009

Moon in Leo will start off the day inconjunct Pluto, and meander through the day (although the day may not feel very meandering), conjunct Mars exact at 8:21 pm PDT. The short and simple Mooncast is WTF in the morning and annoyed in the evening. Fortunately, Moon's transits are fast moving and short lived, and not the only correlation. Venus sextile Pluto may correlate with depth emotion in relationships. Mercury is beginning a square sweep of the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, followed shortly by The Sun. There may be a nudge to pursue dreams, take that brave and scary step towards what could be called destiny. Pay attention to intuition, somewhere in the midst of any emotional turmoil today.

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, Ira Gershwin, Andrew Mellon, Robert Novak, Nikolai Lenin, H. L.

Nov 7 2009

Moon was trine The Sun and Mercury overnight, and finishes up in Cancer, her home constellation. In the morning Moon will be sweeping inconjunct the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, and trine the Juno/Uranus pair, going Moon Void of Course at 3:41 pm PST till the middle of the night. Not a good evening for a first date, better evening to just chill, particularly as Moon is also conjunct the south node. Moon Void of Course would have started much later, except that Venus changes constellations (into Scorpio) after the last Moon transit, and the effect may be almost a bit comical; like when someone goes to sit down, but the chair is moved away from under them. Fortunately this does not happen very often, except in the movies. Surprises or innovations possible today, there may be a WTF about childhood stuff; connections with those close will be the best soothing salve.

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, Martin Van Buren, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Leon Trotsky, John Lennon, George Harrison, Marie Curie, Chaka Khan, John Muir, Erich Fromm, Pierre Simon Laplace, Hedy Lamarr, Ric Ocasek, Walt Disney, Barry Manilow, Arianna Huffington, Enrico Caruso, Alfred Hitchcock, Queen Elizabeth the Second, Gary Stadler, Igor Stravinsky, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jesse Ventura, General Custer, Billy Graham, James "J Bob Dobbs" Dobson, and rumor has it, Rembrandt.

Nov 6 2009

Moon at home in the constellation of Cancer has finished a hard night with Pluto and Saturn, that would have been harder except for an earlier trine with Venus. But today, she takes a breather and lets the other slower moving heavenly bodies speak for themselves. Neptune has joined it's companions of the long lasting trio, Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune in going direct. Notice anything with liquids, fluids, or gasses? Or childhood memories? Or ideals? Today, there may be a tendency to think that a good feeling is all about you, or there just for you; it is for and about everyone and everything.

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 Marcel Marceau, George Soros, Angela Davis, Ray Conniff, Alice A. Bailey, Helena Blavatsky, Paul Hogan, Lionel Hampton, Cecil B.

Ford, and rumor has it, Marcus Antonius.

Nov 5 2009

Moon in Gemini sweeps trine the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio; and sweeps square the Juno/Uranus conjunct. Today partnerships, relations, cohorts may be at center stage; possibly a nudge from/in relation(s), but ease in regards to childhood stuff that is likely surfacing at this time. Moon ends up making a grand kite formation with Neptune, Venus and Vesta at the head or tip of the kite; trine Venus exact at 7:47 pm PST when she goes Moon Void of Course till 11:42 pm PST. Then she "enters" Cancer, her home in search of a cozy place to snuggle warmly and spend the night. The pea under the matress is that Moon will be lighting up the Pluto/Saturn square overnight; there may be feelings of lonliness in the dreams, carrying over to tomorrow morning.

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 Vandana Shiva, Corazon Aquino, Viktor Yushchenko, Jose Silva, Benjamin Disraeli, Anna Freud, Modest Mussorgsky, Rosie O'Donnell, Art Garfunkel, Harrison Ford, Peter Fonda, Jayne Mansfield, Mike Douglas, Dudley Moore, Taj Mahal, Johannes Gutenberg, Jean Fourier, Leo Tolstoy, Neils Bohr, Ole Evinrude, Trent Reznor, Andy Williams, and Howard Jones.

Nov 4 2009

Moon, now in Gemini, made a grand trine with Saturn and Lilith Moon overnight, nudging us through our Dreams to feel our place in the scheme of things, maybe a bit heavy, but mostly insightful. Moon will be sextile Mars exact at 11:55 am PST, and inconjunct Sun/Mercury a bit later. Venus is still busy, square the north/south node axis, trine Chiron/Neptune, and inconjunct Juno/Uranus. Likely a number of mixed messages in the boy/girl (and other permutations) department. A good morning for getting things done, but also likely an air of uncertainty in the aethers today.

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 George Washington, Herbert Hoover, John Belushi, Sid Caesar, Milton Berle, Peter Sellers, Carl Reiner, Henry Fonda, Cheryl Ladd, Neil Diamond, Liberace, Andrew Wyeth, Oral (!)

Nov 3 2009

Moon finishes up in Taurus this busy morning, having swept square the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio starting around midnight, finishing mid-morning. Moon will also be sextile the Juno/Uranus conjunction, and with them and the north/south node axis, be making a mini star of David, also known as Dave. Moon will also be inconjunct Venus, then square Vesta, exact at 1:04 pm PST when she goes Moon Void of Course till 8:53 pm PST. Then, she "enters" Gemini and will be trine Saturn, exact at 9:53 pm PST and inconjunct Pluto overnight. With Moon transiting this much of a variety, likely opportunity in the midst of WTF. Today is a particularly good day to have a stable look at who and what we love; and plan on sticking it out through the storm.

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, Michael Dukakis, John Hancock, Chester Arthur, John Quincy Adams, Jake Steinfeld, David Geffen, Pierre Currie, Nikita Khrushchev, Connie Stevens, Richard Tarnas, Ornette Coleman, J. P. Morgan Jr. , Vincenzo Bellini, Brian Eno, Woody Allen, Charles Bronson, John Wanamaker, Ursula Andress, Sybil Leek, William Butler Yeats, James Clerk Maxwell, and rumor has it, Avogadro.

Nov 2 2009 Full Moon

Moon in Taurus will be lighting up the Mercury/Mars square before going full; square Mars exact at 6:41 am PST, opposite Mercury exact at 8:05 am PST, and opposite The Sun exact at 11:14 am PST. Full Moon has a reputation for intensity of experiences, and this one will likely be no exception. Mars in a hard aspect with almost any other heavenly body correlates with trouble for the most part: edge, excess yang; when lit up by the Moon, more so. Enjoy the intensity of the Full Moon, and be good. Howl at the Moon, not at each other.

Imagine a world reaching the critical mass of awakened humanity: It is worth repeating that one reason Astrology and other deterministic Archetypal Languages "work", or to put it another way, the experiences of psyche correlate with what is largely unseen, is because the critical mass of humanity is still unconscious, following the dynamics of the Cosmos (physically and non-physically) much as collections of unconscious (relatively speaking) particles follow the laws of mechanics or Physics, PV equals nRT. We get to wake up.

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, GHW Bush, Joseph Kennedy, Sam Cooke, Pancho Villa, John Calvin, Wilbur Wright, James Polk, Warren Harding, Grover Cleveland, Rutherford B.

Nov 1 2009

Buh-bye to daylight "savings" time. Remember any dreams of mention? Moon finishes up it's sweep sextile Neptune at 5:30 am PST, then goes Void of course for most of the day. A really good day to chill after Hallow's Eve festivities the night before. As is usual with Moon Void, extra coffee may not alleviate those hangover symptoms, and may have an extra kick by the evening. Moon enters Gemini at 4:45 pm PST, and will be trine Pluto exact at 7:06 pm PST. Evening may hold intense, possibly emotional discussions seeking depth; but as Mercury has snuck up to square Mars, don't count on an easy resolution of what may be at odds. There may be push, with desire to communicate, but tension may keep that much desired resolution at bay for at least a couple more days. The cheery news is that if we stay with our feet lithely on the ground through challenges, good things do happen.

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, Christian Dior, Richard Strauss, Carrie Prejean, Courtney Love, Seal, Arthur Koestler, Emma Watson, Gore Vidal, Rudolf Nureyev, Nat King Cole, Cindy Crawford, Bob Newhart, Mata Hari, Stevie Wonder, Werner Erhard, Jeanette Rankin, Tom Hanks, Thomas Wolfe, Raquel Welch, Freddie Mercury, and rumor has it Copernicus.
