Hello again,
The Moon is drifting through the last degrees of Cancer till 12:50 pm ET when it moves into Leo. Moon voids are perfect times to coast: catch up on old stuff, don’t start anything new, don’t spend money except maybe on a sandwich, and avoid making commitments. It’s a lot like Mercury retrograde only it lasts a few hours every few days; and the feeling is more intuitive than mechanical.
Moon void of course has odd properties. For example, you can have a huge fight with someone during one of these phases, and then it has no effects whatsoever; it’s like it didn’t happen. The same is true with ‘important’ things you accomplish, so save those for when the Moon has just reached a new sign — soon enough.
We are still reverberating with Monday’s New Moon conjunct Vesta and opposite Pluto. No doubt this sent some emotional shockwaves through many individuals and some communities. The Sun remains in a close opposition to Pluto, as does Vesta.
As faster planets do, Venus has begun to pull ahead of Mars in Taurus, and from looking at the charts, it’s clear that a new Venus-Mars cycle has begun. This is refreshing energy, on many levels, and it often takes humans a little knock to get them to wake up. It seems like many people are getting those knocks, and the message is, live like you’re actually alive.
My query for today is: do you feel more alive, or more dead, when you keep secrets?
I’ll be back when the Moon is in Leo, and we’ll be hearing from Fe Bongolan then too.
Patty, she needs to get out of H-town. That place will make anyone sick, especially right now. There’s a *special* feeling about the Gulf Coast right this minute that is nothing to fool around with. Remember, that is where the minions of dumbness (I ain’t gonna give ’em “darkness” – that plays into their PR department) have set up base camp.

Gauri, I remember all too well the feeling of Pluto jumping onto my chart when it entered my rising sign in 1995. It chewed my ass for a good three years, but the end result was that I was freed from a disastrously unsuitable career choice and got the ‘back-up baby’ (my son) out of the deal. I do not know how to say ‘it will work out’ because the whole point of the Plutonian exercise is to learn to use your panic like rocket fuel. It’s not fine, it completely sucks, but it propels you to places that your ego wouldn’t go in a million, billion years. Say ‘thank you’ and try not to spit.

Go, Word! I second that emotion! As if!! “Secrets” are only tucked in to the 5% of us that lives in language. The information is otherwise marching formations all over our bodies. Anyone with a decent decoder ring can make out the news, and everyone else just feels it.
9-10-2001 was the date the IRS letter to my daughter was delivered, telling her that I, her birth mother, was trying to find her. That was after 4 years of searching.
It’s been a wild ride since then, but I’d say that on Monday we had another great connecting day.
My chiron is in Capricorn in the 3rd house at 2 degrees. My daughter is very ill. I dreamed of her in 1997, and thought she had died so I began searching. We are both Libra rising at about the same degree, and we look alike.
We will see what happens.
I looked at my chart transits for 9/11/01, 12/21/12 and current. Very interesting Eric and sorta blew my mind. On 9/11 my Pluto was is Sag-11th house and Chiron in Capricorn in the 12th loose conjunt the GC. Pluto is currently spinning out the 12th house Capricorn and will hit my Ascendent exact conjunct on 12/21/12. Hmm, yes I am finding my authentic voice, making friends with my shadow self, realizing the stuff I was told as a child wasn’t who I am, being altruistic can be scary but really fun at the same time. I look at this sequence, where I was in 2001/02, now and my projected possibles in 2012 and know that I am on the path I need to be on.
I sure get some tremendous insights with your site Eric, Thanks
Thank you Eric 🙂 That is a very useful tip.
I did check the Chiron transit in ’01-’02, it was exactly conjunct my natal Sun then. That was a personally transformative year for me, I finally had the courage to say out loud how deeply unhappy & wounded I was in my marriage, & took steps to leave my husband & start fresh.
I had somehow never tried to connect the current Pluto transit to the Chiron transit in ’01, but it makes sense. Now it seems like a continuation of the same story, just the next chapter, rather than disjointed separate events. Wow 🙂
“You can’t handle the truth!” That’s a quote from the movie A Few Good Men. Anyway, certain people just aren’t ready to know. They’re catching up though. No doubt.
I feel most alive when I’ve no “secrets” to keep.
xo
Pluto transits take patience, spiritual work, psychological process and sexual awareness. There are a lot of ways to take them, and we have plenty of influence over them. They can be seen coming long in advance, and they stretch out for a while to give us time to work through them.
I would start by checking when Chiron was in these degrees of Capricorn in late 2001 and early 2002. I have said this a lot of times – I mean it. We need to be doing careful checks of the events in the time frame immediately post Sept. 11, 2001 through all of 2002 for the first 8 or 9 degrees of Chiron in Capricorn; which are related to the current movement of Pluto in Capricorn.
This New Moon was brutal…..Pluto is conjunct my natal Sun right now in early Cap, & since I’ve a Sun-Moon opposition in my chart, every time it comes close enough to conjoin my Sun, it opposes my Moon (been thru 3 exact oppositions to the Moon last year)…..so this New Moon was almost exact conjunct my natal Moon, opposed to my natal Sun, which is where Pluto is, about to make 2nd exact conjunction with my Sun within the next 10 days……when do we, Caps especially those early in the sign, get a break from this non-stop pounding from the Universe ???? Just when Pluto would have finished with us, Saturn is coming into Libra to square the Sun for all those with early Cardinal Sun, & then comes Uranus next entering Aries squaring the Sun again….It seems like there is no end to it…..:(
Sorry I just realized that my comment is not much related to ur post, but I’m just at my wits end……
