Rassouli – Birth of the Sun
How ya doin’ Virgos ? Got Mars ? lol. yeah. A generation of late 60’s Virgos are feeling the heat like me. Mars retrograde all over the Sun Uranus Pluto conjunction. Fun times !
Birth is ruled by both Pluto and the Sun.
The Sun is life.
Pluto is divine will, inner energy, sex, struggle, helplessness, death, research, mines, psychoanalysis, nuclear energy, morphing.
(Morpheus is the mythological shaper of dreams, he would transmute his form to enter the dreams of humans.) The definition of transmutation is to change or alter in form, appearance, or nature – especially to a higher form.
Pluto brings (re) birth – – but. only. after. labor.
Initiate change, or you will be forced to change. Wherever Pluto lands in the natal, or by transit, some part of your life will die and be reborn over and over and over again.
You will be forged, re-made. (click)
Better. Stronger. Faster.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto is the inner furnace – the fire in our bellies. Divine will and energy of life turned inward to create metamorphosis.
Mars is the outgoing flame, the desires expressed. Personal will and energy turned outward in relentless drive and forward thrust.
Pluto rules Scorpio and is the higher octave of Mars (which was Scorpios traditional ruler).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yet, the Mars above us in currently retrograde in Virgo. Retrograde motion is the energy of the planet turned inward, it is a time of appraisal and action on the internal landscape regarding all things Virgo.
Late 60’s Virgos know there is a rolling boil, a silent powerhouse of energy in the Virgo house at the moment.
Sun is nuclear, Pluto is nuclear, Uranus is magnetic, awake and cracking in Aries and Mars Rx (rules Aries) is breathing down our necks !
Virgo is ruled by Mercury – – with Mars Rx in her sign, the inner dialogue is working overtime (Saturn Rx will be finding balance in Libra soon too) analysing and sorting, creating order out of mental chaos. The blade (Mars Rx) is sharp, lightning fast, and efficient.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now about Sun (birth) and Pluto (rebirth).
I started thinking about the volcanic fire in Virgo bellies and thought nuclear.
Pluto rules atomics, and the Sun is nuclear, magnetic.
When a star dies, it expands to become a red giant, then shrinks to a white dwarf.
If a white dwarf is in a binary star system, it can collect matter from the other dwarf star. Its mass slowly and steadily increases, the pressure at the center becoming so great that fusion occurs. If it exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, then the white dwarf star explodes in a thermonuclear supernova.
The energy of the explosion synthesizes new elements, particularly those heavier than iron. These fresh, new elements are then sprinkled into the surrounding gaseous medium, enriching it. Therefore, later generations of stars formed after the supernova contain more heavy elements than previous generations. In fact, the enrichment of the gas in our region of the Milky Way reached such a point that a sufficient quantity of heavy elements existed to give rise to life, as we know it, here on Earth.

Life, death and rebirth macro style.
The first law of thermodynamics states :
energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes form.

hey, gneissmoooon! lousy internet problems on the mountain. precipation breaking 43 yr old records here and while i cant figure out how that can bother a satellite way up there, reality is reality.
late 60’s virgo… you may not be my chronological elder, just my spiritual elder that’ll do!
‘rolling boil’, i cant say but a ‘silent powerhouse of energy in the Virgo house’ at the moment i can certainly go with (under my hybernation sits a super Type A character. sabbaticals are a necessary thing, that has been proven, as has the wisdom that one does not have to say ‘yes’ to every project that comes along). my natal pluto is in the 11th, transiting 3rd, natal mars is in 10th, transiting 5th/6th. quite a knotted ball of string but definitely pluto is in the driver’s seat as i see a slow-motion, unstoppable train heading into station in scorp 1st house. hmmm! resistance is FUTILE lololol
and i perceive that all this resting should be soaked in as its going to become a rolling boil sometime in the next 3,4 months…..
TODAY is going to be quite telling!
it would be great to hear how these transits are affecting you. this website, for sure, is a major
venue. and i want to know if you met any cute hippie guys whilst out sipping wine over the last few days!!! 😀
Morning Mary Beth ~
I took the night off (sort of – chores not writing) since Moon and Mars were transit natal Pluto, transit Pluto square natal Saturn. My Mom and I had a heated discussion (Moon/Mars/over Pluto in Virgo) or should I say ‘another’ – she has Mars in 7th, it’s common. 🙂
Mars is the fire under my boiling Pluto at the mo. Pluto square natal Saturn Rx is forcing the introvert (Rx) to become extrovert. My natal Saturn trines Mars – so feelin the Mars every which way.
Mostly Mars in Virgo has = cat doctoring / nursing. Virgo rules pets and my boy cat was in a fight (?) needed antibiotics, and I have been fussing over him for weeks, he won’t leave the wound alone, so bandanna neck thingy – making me the hugely popular ringmaster of nightly cat rodeo. sheesh
I am confused about what you wrote, you must mean Neptune transit 5/6 I remember you have natal Mars in Leo, Virgo 11th, yes ? Then Mars would be transit your Virgo house 11, headed for Libra in early July.
Type A Virgo stellium, oh dear – perfection, much ? I am somewhat familiar, lol. far too much Neptune for type A personality here. Speaking of Neptune, interesting / weird rain, will google. Mo will have a soggy journey. Enjoy your day~
xo
very sorry to hear about your boy cat. i understand what you mean completely.
sorry, yes, my mistake. (your memory is brilliant, btw)
my natal mars in in leo in the 10th. my transiting mars is exactly on top of natal uranus in the 11th.
mars entered and transited virgo with ZERO perceivable affect on me. mars rx, i have experienced several symptoms of this in the form of injuries/accidents and deep analysis.
i have a highly evolved virgo, my dear 🙂 i aim to do the best that i can, perfection in this realm is an illogical pursuit and i do find comfort in logic. heehee
cyprus has added a lot of nuance and solidity to this philosophy.
your writing style makes one think you are an extrovert so this square you are dealing with is unexpected. is this a compartmentalised or a through and through coming out to centre stage?
saturn just grinds and grinds
peace to you and all your loved ones, furry and otherwise x
Kitty is okay thanks, just a bit crankier than usual. He doesn’t much like being herded. haha
No wonder you are in overdrive about astrology Mars transit Uranus, and you are very friendly and outgoing with me here. Mars in Leo ! a cha cha
We have good synastry : your Moon, my Mars. Your Mars my Venus/Jupiter. cool. 🙂
I didn’t feel much Mars (direct) until it got near Pluto / Uranus / Sun, then hyperdrive activity in all directions. Writing coming very easily and frequent.
Mars Rx, yes more introspective – thinking off the scale (Virgo 9th higher mind) philosophy and scientific pursuits and how they relate to me personally are the choice items from the buffet.
The last few nights as Mars approached Pluto, energy has waned Big Time. Pluto is transit square my natal Saturn Rx in Aries (ruled by Mars) so energy has tanked. pfffft…
The extrovert thing is for one, my Saturn retrograde. Planetary direct people may find life circumstance forces them to become introspective regarding the planetary energy, at some point – the retrograde planet people are forced by circumstance to become extroverted with that energy at some point.
My Saturn Rx is in the 3rd, (writing) trine Mars / Vesta (guards the sacred spiritual flame) in Sagittarius 11th.
I also have Neptune most highly aspected in 11, square Leo Venus / Jupiter 8th. So yes, noticed often, but not comfortable with it – it is generally followed by some equivalent of Jedi mind tricks * these are not the droids you are looking for * …sort of like hiding in plain sight. !?! yipe.
My brain / heart are my best assets, though I don’t think that is what is primarily noticed.
Sorry about your accidents, I am not surprised though. When Mars squared natal Mars I was burned repeatedly (Sag is 12th house) boiling water, the toaster oven, etc.. Deep analysis is awesome though, that’s a + in my book.
Tell me about Cyprus..what is it like ? I am curious.!
Yes, you are a highly evolved Virgo – is why I like you ! xo
