Just prior to 9:30 AM PDT the Sag Moon trines Jupiter in Aries; it’s a day for broadcasting and reaching out across the social scene, and this is so despite Merc still (seems like forever!) in retrograde. This is because it’s all about getting the …

The Essence for 20 April 2011: Burning Through Unintended Consequences
8 PM Pacific sees the Moon sextile Saturn, quickly followed by the Moon sextile h.Zeus, trine Mercury, then trine Mars. We enter this period thinking we can hold back, control our actions, and keep to the status quo–wrong! Ambition and desire speak u…
The Essence for 19 April 2011: Unusual Dreams
Just before 2 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes the South Node, either making us wax nostalgic, or uncomfortable with things or people from the past. Either enjoy, or breathe through it–no need to respond. By 8:30 the Moon trines Venus–ah! a short period …
The Essence for 18 April 2011: Plain and Simple
Post 3 PM Pacific the Moon squares Pallas; what feels right won’t be right, and we’ll know it, and by 8 PM PDT the Moon’s quincunx to the Merc retro/ Mars conjunction will make it obvious–we’ll likely as not have chosen to act, speak, or ‘d…
The Essence for Post Full Moon, 17 April 2011
It’s almost cruel that the Void begins as the Moon pulls out of opposition, at 7:45 PM Pacific. We are all geared up by that big bright Libra Moon to love, to partner, and instead we are met with a feeling that our choices may be ineffective. The…
The Essence of the Libra Full Moon, 17 April 2011: Perfect Love
Full Moon at 7:43 PM of the 17th, Pacific time, at 27 Libra 44. Using our usual, strict 2 degree orb we have only a single aspect, a quincunx of the Libra Full Moon to Libra ruler Venus in Pisces. Venus is exalted in Pisces, suggesting that perfect Lov…
The Essence for 15 April 2011: Don’t Blow It Up
Just before 5 AM Pacific the Moon quincunxes Jupiter, blowing up our emotions (like a balloon? like dynamite? like a festive handshake?) We may feel very critical of someone else’s outreach, what they’re broadcasting or publishing, as this may feel…
The Essence for 14 April 2011: Moody, With a Chance of Confrontation
11 AM PDT the Moon trines Pluto–we can do emotional housecleaning efficiently and effectively–and if we’re looking to change our feelings about someone or something, this is the time when it can be easily accomplished (providing we really do want…
The Essence for 13 April 2011: Hot, Salty Communication Freedom (+ Added Material)
1:30 AM PDT of the 13th the Moon trines retro Mercury, Fire to Fire. It may be easy to speak passionately–just remember that Jupiter is still relatively close to Merc, and may cause us to overdo or grossly exaggerate. Speak your truth, show your …
The Essence for 12 April 2011: Finding a Leonine Balance
Just before 9 AM Pacific the Moon becomes the apex planet to a Finger of God with base of Pluto sextile Ceres. This is about achieving a ‘balance of power’ in a very yin/ yang sort of way. Masculine/ Feminine figure in, as might outright expression…
