The Moon ingresses Virgo Monday at 11:37 pm EDT (Tuesday 03:37 UTC). At that moment, it enters the opposition of Nessus and Transpluto. What I love about the Nessus-Transpluto opposition is that, besides the issue on which it comments, I am probably the only astrologer who has come within punting distancing of noticing it (OK I can think of one other). It’s a slowly-developing alignment associated with centaur Nessus (discovered 1993) changing signs from Aquarius to Pisces, and hypothetical, as in nonexistent, planet Transpluto (hypothesized some time in the early 20th century) making its excruciatingly slow sign-change from Leo to Virgo. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The two are now aligned in an opposition along 1 Virgo to 1 Pisces within microns (two arc minutes or 1\/30th of a degree). The Moon gets in there just before midnight EDT and makes that opposition palpable, visceral, real. And what is it about? The relationship between self-criticism and abuse patterns — a problem so rampant hardly anyone notices it. They mirror one another, feed one another, in a sense support one another, and who knows, they may even cancel one another out; that would be nice. <\/p>\n

This is a long-lasting opposition, so we get to experiment with it for another year or so — but at the moment, it comes into tangible focus so we can feel this paradox that keep so many miserable for so long. The Moon then moves onto an opposition with Neptune exact at 1:46 pm EDT (17:46 UTC), which is more like looking into the mirror and seeing whatever you want to see.<\/p>\n
