Venus (love, art) is cozing right up onto Pluto’s (sex, morph) lap in Capricorn (earth, clay !) & they are in a grand earth trine with Jupiter (it ahem, expands) in sensual Taurus, and Mars (desire) is in Virgo (the Virgin ha, yeah right !) and ummm, earthy signs, are well… e a r t h y

Venus is coming up to
conjunct Pluto in Capricorn !
Aquarian fantasy artist Frank Frazetta (solar chart) had Venus closely conjunct Mars in Capricorn, both opposite Pluto, and square Moon. His Sun and Mercury were opposite Neptune. Moon was opposite a Uranus Jupiter conjunction in Aries.
Whoa.
It appears he made the most of one Mercury Pluto trine, and one Sun Saturn sextile.
Then we dig deeper and of course, find much, much more.
Sun (spirit) is trine North Node of Destiny (trailblazing path in the life) and quintile (spiritual gifts) Chiron (the philosopher and the quest). Moon is quintile Saturn – building a legacy for the public.
Jupiter and Neptune are quintile North Node of Destiny, and Pluto is quintile Chiron – visionary fantasy art on a grand scale that transformed the comic genre forever.
That Venus Mars conjunction in Capricorn gave him exceptional technical skill, and the Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Aries -obviously – look at the power of the human figure in his drawings.
Click here for a wonderful video tribute to Frank and his work.

Whenever I see a hawk I think of my brother.
He had Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury all in Aquarius.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and both rule flight and birds.
Aquarius is an air sign, although Aquarius is called the water-bearer because February brings the purifying spring rains.
Birds / Air = messages and communication
The message may be written or spoken, but it may also be intuition (Uranus) calling.
I was followed by hawks when my brother died…they were everywhere and I was dreaming of them too, making artwork revolving around hawks and I found it comforting. It eventually slacked off a bit, then happened only occasionally.
Neptune entered the fixed electrical sign of Aquarius in 1998, Neptune is my most highly aspected planet. In 1998 my life turned ugly real quick. Then it got worse. Those of you who have read my blog awhile know I am quite keen to get Neptune out of Aquarius and back into Pisces.
A few months ago hawk came again. Hawk swooped towards me, low over my head late summer while I stood in my driveway, then flew over my house. Not long after, maybe a day or two, hawk flew me home. I was in my truck and hawk was overhead following me into my driveway then flew over the hood of my truck into a nearby tree. Hawk brought changes.
Hawk medicine brings swift changes. Air messages are not only spoken but also represent thoughts and where they lead. Thought is the basis of future action, use hawk higher vision to make wise choices.
Wind is the life of hawk, signaling a need to use intent to cleanse the body with each breath of air. Breathing and quiet meditation makes higher / sharper vision possible.
Observe where the winds of life are blowing, and ride the updrafts when possible. Hawk reassures us we are on the correct path using keen instincts and clarity of vision. Hawk has long-range vision, sees the truth and symbolizes that new opportunities are about to become visible.

Freya (Freia) is a Norse goddess of the Vanir (nature deities). She is the goddess of love and beauty, protectress of the world, and patron saint of wise and powerful magical women.
She can be found on the fields of war receiving the slain in a chariot driven by two blue cats. She is wise in magic and wears a cloak of feathers which allows her to transform into a falcon. Freya rules over the plants, earth and animals of the forest and can be called upon to assist in affairs of love.
She wears a finely woven golden amber necklace whose power cannot be resisted, called Brisingamen which was purchased from dwarves.
Friday is the day of Freya (called by the Romans, Venus).
Freia is asteroid 76, check her out in your natal chart and apply the above.

The Dreaming: “Ere the World Crumbles…”
Lyrics by Knut Avenstroup
sung by Helene Bøksle
Haugen Athr veröld Athr veröld steypisk mun engi mathr öthrum thyrna Knáttu vanir vígspá völlu sporna Skildir ro klofnir fyllisk fjörvi feigra manna
(‘Ere the world ‘Ere the world falls nor ever shall men each other spare And the field by the warlike Wanes was trodden Shields are sundered Drains the life-force of doomed men)
Lyrics above are taken from the Elder Edda, a collection of Old Norse poems written in the 13th century – primarily preserved in the Icelandic mediaeval manuscript Codex Regius (latin for Royal Book).
The goddess Freya (the Lady) and the God Frey (the Lord) rule the first aett of Runes, which represent the first stage of creation.
I pulled 2 runes to get a vibe on the eclipse energies. Intent to gain insight and best outcome for all my readers…
Left/Solar = Dagaz: Day or Dawn.
breakthrough and awakening, clarity. embark on an enterprise.
Right/Lunar = Perthro: gambling cup, a mystery.
a secret matter, hidden things and occult abilities, unexpected rewards
Since that was – well, obvious – I pulled another for clarity of direction…
Kenaz: a beacon or torch.
vision, revelation, knowledge creativity harnessed power
blessed be ~ happy eclipses ~

Mars is in Virgo until July 3rd.
The months ahead are a great time for work (Virgo) at a high volume (Mars) pace, that’s on everyone’s plate.
What Mars is doing by transit to your natal, that is yours alone.
Wherever Mars lands in the natal gets revved up, that house is on fire !
Mars is impulsive, aggressive, in your face, confrontational, action- NOW !
NO WAITING !
Mars is energy in your face and everyone elses.
If transiting Mars is conjunct a natal planet, expect an intense supercharged boost to that planetary vibe.
Trine is the same – but a bit less confrontational, more harmonious.
Square is the internal fight bubbling over, the frustration powder keg.
Opposition is when Mars is in a tug of war with the other planets energy.
Sextile is the opportunity for you to use the planetary energies – you have to go fetch it.
When Mars is in the fight he will go in guns blazing ~> act first, think later.
So if you want to maintain good relations…instead of Ramming (Mars rules Aries) aggression down someone else’s throat, go kickboxing.

Venus, the planet of love, art, money and women has entered the cardinal (taking action) earth sign of Capricorn, the practical sign of long-term achievement, building, and success.
She is trine Mars and Jupiter; energy and faith, hope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Venus in Capricorn highlights not only love, art and women, but also money and how WE USE (Capricorns motto) all of these in our world…in our climb to reach personal and monetary success. What symbolizes success to you ?
Venus here brings kindness, skill building, responsibility to our energy of love, money and women. She teaches us to bend instead of break. She reminds us that quiet stillness of prayer or meditation is best done from the vantage point of humility; the bended knees. (Capricorn rules the knees.) She teaches us balance and harmony in relationships with each other, and diplomacy regarding money. She delivers options, and sees all sides.
Venus brings trust, courage, self-confidence and awareness of purpose to Capricorn.
She brings love.
Where do you find a hand to hold yours in the world of female power, where do you find long-term female support, who has your back…? YOU DO. Demi Moore recently posted a photo of her back in her bathroom mirror with the reference ‘you always have your own back’. This is so true, be your own strength, your own rock.
Venus rules Taurus – what we own- Venus is presently conjunct Plutonian power, that is what others own- Scorpio territory. Are you revising (Mercury is Rx now) and revisioning your feminine power and where the coiled snake rises from within yourself…? What power do you guard for yourself, and what do you give away for the sake of love or money or vanity ?
The first law of thermodynamics is energy can not be created or destroyed, it only changes form. Where is your Venusian energy placed and how is it phoenixing for you..? Are you digging deep and going quiet between the recent partial solar eclipse on the 25th, and the total lunar eclipse on December 10th ?
The seeds are sprouting in the garden of your life, it is just after the new moon, tend your thoughts and be kind to yourself, be your own rock of Gibraltar. Tend to the creative thought, be loving and re-define what is long-term success, streamline and begin again.
This is turtle wisdom.

An Eclipse prayer, a Neptune direct & going home prayer ~

Neptune is illusion, fog and dreams, the ocean ~ fluctuation on a grand scale.
She has been getting zapped in a fixed electrical sign since August 24th, 1998.
Neptune will, at long last, enter Pisces, the sign she rules, on February 3, 2012.
blessed be

South Node indicates the past life, or the road previously travelled.
It is called Ketu- the dragon’s tail- and is likened to a valley.
North Node is the trail we are currently blazing in this life.
It is called Rahu- the dragon’s head- and is likened to a peak.
North Node at the time of last nights eclipse was in the 4th house indicating
Karmic Balancing.
North Node placed in the 4th house means the energy is used to do whatever is needed and ordered by the other trinity of nodal point groups. The 4th, 8th, and 12th houses are the Trinity of Psychicism.
