Sept 29 2008 Grandiose and Trivial Moon

The Sun is in the orb of square Jupiter through mid October , exact on Oct 6th. Extravagance, possibly trying to do more than one can handle. The new Moon last night is emphasizing that square throughout today, exact around 2pm PST. Think big, the upside is generosity, the downside is arrogance. But, in general, lofty optimism. Don't sweat the small stuff is a Jupiter square phrase. But, just for fun, after sunset, there may be a flip to worrying about small things, trivia, emotions getting the better of reason, as Moon enters the orb of a conjunction with Mercury (exact a 2am tomorrow). Not a good time for major decisions, but a good time to express feelings.

Life imitates Art, History writes itself: You think the CERN Large Hadron Collider is huge and expensive? We could build 100, that's one hundred, of them for the initial cost of the "bailout."

The Birthcard of today is the Eight of Hearts, power in emotions, a Neptune implementation of a Jupiter core. Eight of Hearts is the Jupiter card in the life spread of the USA's Birthcard, the Jack of Diamonds. The mythologies of Obatala and Herne may be sufficiently grandiose today.
