Just a Little Essence for Today 13 October 2011: ‘At Cross-Purposes’
By 11 PM PDT the Taurus Moon forms the apex of a Finger of God with base of h.Zeus and North Node. This ushers in an opportunity for strong emotional expression in artistic, artisanal, and material forms, if we can align the ambition/ desire nature and…
Just a Little Essence for the Full Moon 11 October 2011: ‘A Choice of Roles’
On the 11th we have a Full Moon, at 7:05 PM Pacific time, at 18 Aries 24. An opposition to Saturn ( which is of course conjunct the Sun) is the only aspect that falls within our strict two degree orb. What happens when the culmination of Full Moon ener…
Venus Enters Scorpio: Love in the Dark

Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 28 September 2011: ‘A Wise & Practical Goddess’
4:30 PM PDT and the Moon squares Pallas in Capricorn. Our Warrior Goddess loves to be practical; she’s proud of her skills and her wisdom–so what about this in ourselves or others rubs us the wrong way on a feeling level? It’s a good question, wh…
The Libra New Moon & Just a Little Lunar Essence for 27 September 2011: ‘Change, & Then Change’
On the 27th we’ve really got all we can handle with a 4:08 AM Pacific New Moon at 4 Libra 00. Using our usual strict 2 degree orb, the NM conjuncts Mercury and sextiles Mars, squares Pluto and opposes Uranus (which is, of course, conjunct the Ear…
Just a Little Lunar Essence for Today 26 September 2011: ‘The Power of the Maternal’
7:30 AM PDT the Virgo Moon opposes Ceres in Pisces; here we have two sets of feeling, nurturing, and maternally-keyed energies facing off against each other–and this could prove to be an incredibly rough showdown. One side (Ceres) clearly will feel i…
