By afternoon, Moon in Capricorn entering the orb of sextile Uranus and trine Saturn, but most of the attention today is likely the Venus Jupiter conjunction, exact at midnight. They are visible after sunset in the west. Tempering, or balancing, in a good way is Venus Saturn trine concurrent with Jupiter Saturn trine. Today is likely a day of relationships, both the passionate and practical sides of them; heart to heart the foibles and fortunes of them.

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. Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, Abbie Hoffman, and of course Samuel Clemens are incarnational expressions of this Card, or visa versa.

Don't make any life altering decisions till after 10 am PST when Moon emerges from Void of Course into Capricorn. At the same time, she is conjunct Pluto and trine Vesta. Possibility of deep and intense emotions, good time to get in touch with instinctual feelings. Longing for home or that feeling of home and all it represents? Moon-Pluto is the "therapist's transit", superficiality will not do. Maybe hold off on that life altering decision from 10:01 am a bit longer, till this evening after the volcano has cooled off and solidified. Remember that not all volcanoes are explosive, some just flow magma from the depths that eventually becomes fertile soil.

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, Johannes Kepler, Louis Pasteur, and John Keats are various incarnations expressing through this Card.

Moon in Sagittarius will be T-squaring the Saturn/Uranus opposition today, which could indicate a restless depression overlaid with and distinct from the intensity of the Sun/Mercury/Mars trio; fortunately Venus and Jupiter are close to conjunction (exact Sunday night) and that conjunction is both trine Saturn and sextile Uranus. This would indicate a different flavor, one of balance and good luck. Maybe you have noticed that days with mixed signals are more common than days with clear signals; further all these combos transit your Natal chart in ways obviously beyond the capabilities of this generalized weather report. Sometime in the future there may be Archetypal mood-ring web pages; until then, it is a good thing to get to know the nuances of one's own Natal chart---see the links on the left. Moon goes into Void of Course at 5 pm PST till 10 Sat morning, so another chill fri nite is in order.

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. Jon Stewart, Randy Newman, Grace Slick, and Michael Dukakis are incarnational expressions of this Card.

Nov 27 2008 New Moon

Pluto has just entered Capricorn, will be there thru 2024, and Uranus goes direct today. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn was the late 1700s. Something big happened then. Changes, more changes with some mojo to back them up. The slow brew of evolution becomes revolution in breaking down old structures and rebuilding new structures, which will eventually become old structures in need of being broken down and rebuilt. Those who have learned from history are doomed to watch those who have not learned from history repeat it.

Speaking of--- and in time for T-day: one of the bloggers here would like to and is offering a heart-felt apology to the Indigenous Peoples of North America for what my ancestors did to your ancestors, directly or in complicity. By the act colonization with the following acts of relocation, religious conversion, habitat destruction, and outright genocide---unfathomable loss and pain has been caused. There is no returning, but there is an opportunity to learn, reconcile, listen to the wisdom of the elders. To all our relations.

New Moon in Sagittarius is conjunct Sun exact at 8:54 am PST, conjunct Mercury, exact at 11:31 am PST, and conjunct Mars, exact at 1:56 pm PST. The tricky part of the trio of Sun/Mercury/Mars is differentiating emotions from intellect and the collective reality, one could be quite convinced what one feels is fact, and damn the facts...and with the extra emphasis by the Moon sweeping over, doubly so. Likely to be quite emotional today, with a feeling (hah!) of something uncorked, and moving forward.

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. Various incarnations expressing this Card are Richard Dreyfuss, Isaac Newton, Annie Lenox, and a spectacular example of the shadow side of this Archetype: Karl Rove.

Nov 26 2008 Moon Void of Course

Our shadowy friend the Moon will be Void of Course from 4 in the morning till a bit after 9 in the evening, PST, soooo chill today. If there is a distinct lack of mojo, don't panic, it will pass by later this evening. Good day to reflect, read, wrap things up rather than starting them. Go fly a kite. Just because. But not in a lightning storm.

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 are Julia Roberts, Rich Little, Tina Turner, and surprisingly to some, Bill Gates.

With Mercury exactly conjunct Sun this morning and Mars nearby, look for sharp intellect, biting wit. Or they may look for you. Later in the day, things are likely to mellow out, with Moon sextile Venus, exact by 5:19 pm PST and trine Uranus, exact by 10:47 PM PST. The flavor is likely to be nurturing, emotionally connected, "warm fuzzy", with the potential downside of being too passive, as in "feed me, nurture me", assisted by a Moon square Chiron shortly after dusk. Later in the evening the may be a flavor of excitement, aliveness, with possible pleasant surprises. In the middle of the night, Moon will be sextile midpoint between the Saturn Jupiter trine, so there is potential for a night of good dreams.

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. Various examples of expression of this card are Joe DiMaggio, Richard Gere, Madeline Kahn, and the one and only John Cleese.

Nov 24 2008

After being exact sextile Pluto at 9:45 am PST, Moon briefly goes Void of Course and enters Scorpio a hair before 10 am PST. The morning is likely to be a good time for plumbing the depths, exploring mysteries, and rejecting traditional dogma. Later in the day, our friend the Moon is taking a break from any significant aspects. Over the next couple of weeks, Venus will be in the orb of Conjunct Jupiter, so warm fuzzies will be a flavor added to the mix, mellowing some, but not all of the edge from the Mercury/Sun/Mars trio induced intense intellect.

The Birthcard of today is the Nine of Hearts a double Saturn with a "veiled" double Venus. Brigitte Bardot, Hillary Clinton, Gwyneth Paltrow are different examples of this Birthcard.
