On the 2nd of May we have a New Moon at 11:49 PM Pacific Daylight Time at 12 Taurus 30. We keep our usual two-degree orb, and we end up with quite a few aspects. We have a trine to Juno (the NM promises easy empowerment beginnings in the area of the ch…

The Essence for 2 May 2011: Wag the Dog?
I must apologize; I’m way behind today, in part because I was up into the wee hours combing Seattle for my cell phone. We found it; it had fallen from my pocket at Benaroya Hall as we listened to writer David Sedaris read from his work (and it wa…
The Essence for 29 April-1 May 2011: Aries Reflects
Moon enters Aries at 10:33 AM of the 29th. Oh Aries, we’re all a little tired of your brash, almost-bully assertiveness, I think; you’ve been nothing but hard on all the Cardinals, especially Aries–those people have been through the wringer. Now …
Juno Ascends the Throne: Kate Middleton Marries Her Prince
Since Juno is the consort/ wife of the supreme ruler, I thought a look at Kate Middleton’s Juno would be in order (9 January 1982 no time known Berkshire UK). Though Kate’s not a Queen Consort yet, she’s almost certain to be one in fu…
The Essence for 28 April 2011: A Foggy Kind of Day
It’s a day that rides along on the steam of the Pisces Moon–or maybe that’s the mist or fog of the Pisces Moon–and the prevailing energies may be ones that would be much more subtle if not for the empty (though Neptune-generated obscuring) fiel…
The Essence for 27 April 2011: Testing the Waters of Change, Testing Boundaries
10:30/11 AM PDT the Pisces Moon makes a sextile to Pluto and semi-sextile to Venus. In this case, the Pisces Moon acts very much as it does in horary astrology, translating and collecting light from one body to another. In this case, it acts as a condu…

The Essence for 25 April 2011: Mercurial Sea-Legs!
Just after 10 Am PDT the Moon trines Saturn in Air and conjuncts Pallas, and we may find ourselves wanting to get a good grip on things, wanting to pin things down–but why? Restlessness spurred by unfulfilled attempts to lock down and control everyth…
The Essence for 23-24 April 2011: Opportunity
1:30 AM on the 23rd sees the Moon act as the arm of a T-square to the Saturn/ Mercury opposition–and should initially result in the emotions being pulled mightily between what you think, or has been communicated to you, and what you observe as realit…
The Essence for 22 April 2011: Sensitive to the Bee Sting
The Moon trines the Sun in Earth and simultaneously squares Uranus (6:30 AM Pacific), and we may get an emotional shock even as we see precisely how to proceed for the day–so it’s a win/ whoops! A 10:30 AM sextile to Chiron may bring forward the se…
