Moon in Aries sweeps sextile the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio, starting early, and ending at 5:13 pm PDT when she goes Moon Void of Course till the wee hours of the night. Moon also becomes inconjunct Saturn, making a YOD of Finger of God formation with the trio which is also still inconjunct Saturn. This points to a possibility of a turning point in the realms of responsibility or learning, with uncertainty nudging it; and yet a paradoxical stable, feet on the ground, "put it in low gear and push it through" kind of foundation. Mercury has begun it's retrograde sweep back across the Saturn/Uranus axis of the grand cross of changes. As Mars moves out of the orb, the configuration will become a T-square. In some ways, less relentless and less balanced---putting more emphasis on Pluto---hence the meme of "upheaval". See the Aug 31 post on the long term scheme of that theme.
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, 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.

Sept 6 2009 Opposite Day, or not
Moon in Aries continues to light up the grand or not so grand cross of changes (see prior posts), opposite Mercury exact at 7:00 am PDT, square Mars exact at 9:25 am PDT, then trine Venus exact at 9:14 pm PDT. A chance of restlessness in the air today. The Moon/Venus trine is a most wonderful transit, and may well provide a breather to any challenges experienced. Particularly during times of upheval, what we focus upon is of prime importance. Feet on the ground, but not too rigidly. Head in the Stars, but not too spacey.
Today is the first official day of Mercury Retrograde. If communication is missed, misunderstood or combative, desires are thwarted or blocked, you feel stuck or bottled, interpretations are taken in the worst possible way, that's retrograde---the shadow or trickster side of Hermes. It could be opposite day, but it might not be. If you ask if it is opposite day during opposite day, what answer do you get? Retrograde is Sept 6 thru Sept 29, however there is more to it. Think of overlapping waves, and think of a slowly swinging pendulum. At the upper end of each swing it slows down before reversing direction. Likewise, the relative motion between Earth and Mercury passes through phases of forward, stiction, reverse, stiction, repeat. The stiction phases overlapping with the "actual" retrograde are in some ways less fun and more troubling than the "pure" retrograde. Relationships are prone to questioning and upsets during the stiction phase, those with a deep or solid connection will survive. An Archetypal explanation as to why bouncebacks usually don't last is that they start during retrograde right after a stiction induced breakup.
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. Hayes, Andy Warhol, Charlton Heston, Nikola Tesla, Bobby Darin, Daniel Boone, Patty Hearst, Ivana Trump, Buster Keaton, Charles Chaplin, Burt Lancaster, Peter Graves, Dusty Springfield, Sidney Poitier, Dustin Hoffman, David Brinkley, Edgar Cayce, Henry Mancini, Herbie Mann, Marie Antoinette, and rumor has it, Saint Francis of Assisi.

Sept 5 2009 Moon Void of Course
Moon finishes up in Pisces this morning opposite Saturn exact at 6:46 am PDT and conjunct Uranus exact at 9:53 am PDT when she goes Moon Void of Course till 7:14 pm PDT. Then she enters Aries, square Pluto exact at 8:30 pm PDT and conjunct Juno exact at 10:45 pm PDT. Responsibility, with or without a paradoxical tendency of lithe, gregarious expression of responsibility in values today is still responsibility. Love it or hate it. Essentially, Moon gives a kick to the whole grand or not so grand cross (see prior posts) today. Starts off with a potential for struggle, activism, then goes blah for most of the day. Then ends up possibly annoyed at mis-communication. Really a good day to just chill, particularly with tomorrow being the first official day of Mercury Retrograde. As hard, or tricky as it may be, try not to take anything personally today, let it be if possible. Go see an Arthouse Flick. Be aware of the blame game, try not to play it. Not advisable to make any life changing decisions today, particularly the type of decision based on emotions that one may regret a month from now. 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.

Sept 4 2009 Full Moon
Moon in Pisces is Full exactly at 9:03 am PDT. Need we say more about the Full Moon? Also inconjunct Venus early on, then taking a breather for the rest of the day. However, there is plenty going on, possibly a bit of a surreal vibe in the air, a mixture of profound and profane in the realm of values. The grand or not so grand cross is shifting around, with all the players still within the orb: one one axis we have Mars opposite Pluto for the next week or so. And square that we have a pair of pairs: a tightening Saturn/Uranus opposition and Mercury opposite Juno. Couple that with Saturn inconjunct the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio and we would have a mixed message recipe for anything goes, if things were not so squidgy. If things seem wierd or even weird, it's not just you. Hang tight loosely.
Upcoming 09-09-09 has the potential to be intense, with Saturn/Uranus exact opposite, and the rest of the characters still in the orb of being the grand square; with the added bonus of The Sun entering the orb of conjunct Saturn. All during retrograde.
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, John D. Rockefeller, Yogi Berra, Nelson A. Rockefeller, Matt Dillon, Yoko Ono, Beyonce, Mohandas Gandhi, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Charles Schwab, Federico Fellini, Graucho Marx, Megan Fox, Pat Nixon, Lucille Ball, Farley Mowat, Henny Youngman, Jerry Lewis, Julie Christie, Paul Begala, Judy Garland, F. Lee Bailey, James Madison, Rex Reed, George Burns, and Rumor has it, Paganini.

Sept 3 2009
On the second day of retrograde, my true love brought to me...Moon Void of Course this morning till 8:58 am PDT when she enters Pisces, her Home away from Home. There may be an urge to sleep in a bit longer, more so than usual. Moon will be adding a harmonious nudge to part of the grand cross, the Pluto/Mars opposition part, sextile Pluto exact at 10:18 am PDT and trine Mars exact at 8:39 pm PDT. Moon will also be inconjunct Vesta in the Morning, indicating a possible frustration to a powerful, assertive, almost aggressive vibe that may be in the air today. Heading for the Full Moon tomorrow morning, this would be a good evening to howl at the Moon, at least somewhere semi private.
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 Salvador Dali, Jimmy Carter, Neil Armstrong, Marc Chagall, Vladimir Horowitz, Paris Hilton, Arne Lein, Edgar Allan Poe, Dolly Parton, Fabio Lanzoni, Al Green, Sly Stone, Julie Andrews, Ringo Starr, Thomas Jefferson, Janis Joplin, Robert Heinlein, James Brown, Gustav Mahler, Cole Porter, Walter Matthau, Martha Quinn, Jim Jeffords, and Andrew Jackson, and rumor has it Peter the Great.

Sept 2 2009 Mercury watch
Moon in Aquarius sweeps conjunct the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune trio between noon and 10:20 pm PDT when she goes Moon Void of Course till tomorrow morning. Also of note, besides the usual cast of characters such as the grand cross, Saturn is inconjunct the trio ( and the Moon today). And Pluto is inconjunct Venus/Vesta. Both of these point to some uncertainty, "dunno what it is", give and take without resolution. Today, values may be of importance, possibly a give and take along the lines of disappointment versus universality. What are your ideals?
On the first day of retrograde, my true love gave to me...today is the first of the Mercury Retrograde stiction days, when the relative motion of Mercury is slow prior to reversing. If communication is missed, misunderstood or combative, desires are thwarted or blocked, you feel stuck or bottled, interpretations are taken in the worst possible way, that's retrograde---the shadow or trickster side of Hermes. It could be opposite day, but it might not be. If you ask if it is opposite day during opposite day, what answer do you get? The official retrograde is Sept 6 thru Sept 29, however there is more to it. Think of overlapping waves, and think of a slowly swinging pendulum. At the upper end of each swing it slows down before reversing direction. Likewise, the relative motion between Earth and Mercury passes through phases of forward, stiction, reverse, stiction, repeat. The stiction phases overlapping with the "actual" retrograde are in some ways less fun and more troubling than the "pure" retrograde. Relationships are prone to questioning and upsets during the stiction phase, those with a deep or solid connection will survive. An Archetypal explanation as to why bouncebacks usually don't last is that they start during retrograde right after a stiction induced breakup.

Sept 1 2009
How were your dreams? In the midst of the grand cross of stressful changes, Moon lit up the now trine of Vesta and Juno overnight. Home, hearth, our ancestors, long term connections perceived anywhere in the aethers? Moon in Aquarius is giving the Arts a boost today, trine Mercury exact at 6:22 am PDT and opposite Venus exact at 11:28 am PDT. There may be a touch of grandiosity today, great for ideas and ideals, but not so good for lunch.
The Birthcard of today is the 10 of Diamonds, a double Jupiter, with a Queen of Clubs inside and a Queen of Spades outside. 10Ds include The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, P. T. Barnum, Martha Stewart, Gloria Estefan, Phil McGraw, Zooey Deschanel, Andy Kaufman, Jessica Tandy, Paul Gaugin, Lily Tomlin, Tony Bennett, Candice Bergen, Tom Jones, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, Jim Carrey, Percival Lowell, Douglas Hofstadter, and Sammy Kaye, and rumor has it, Galileo.
