Titania’s Fortune Cards

Picked these up from my local library at a book sale for 2 bucks.
I got a good deal judging by the link.
Anyway, love my library, love books, love sales and lately I’ve been lovin’ me some Mars.
One card draw.
For everyone – the Martian reading for fanatical freaks in a frenzy.
One.
Number of self, pioneers, leaders.
Being blunt.
These cards are great – BAM !
Ship comes in.
Garden grows.
It is just that easy.  Reminds me of Cypher.
All I see now is blonde, brunette, redhead.

to your knees

Material earth matters are shifting.
Pluto Rx in Capricorn…
What do you go to your knees for…?  (Capricorn rules)  What are you small in the face of ~ what humbles you…?  How do you seek to change your world..?  What mark will you leave across the vast ages of time..?  In what ways are you unwilling to bend…?
You are about to find out.

Use Pluto retrograde to re-envision and re-invent your work, (Capricorn) your place in the world at large  – your status and your ambitions.  Pluto will transform your inner Capricorn landscape regarding these matters. Where is your house of Capricorn ?  That house is where you will have some intense probing and laser sharp focus in the coming few months – expect a regeneration of goals.

Plutonian (inner power) and Mars energies (outward power) are in flux – outward bound progress will be sputtering for the next few days.  Action regarding insights gleaned during Mars retrograde will shift into gear and accelerate as Mars finds a foothold in direct motion in the house of Virgo.

Mars Rx in Virgo lesson for moi ?
Virgos serve others as well as themselves.  Water can’t be drawn from an empty well.

Now and the next few days…Excellent time for rapid fire ideas regarding personal goals and mental health, as energies in flux always deliver insights.

Insights now – act later.  

Like the butter hidden in milk, the Pure Consciousness resides in every being.
That ought to be constantly churned out by the churning rod of the mind.
– Amrita-Bindu, Upanishads

Love conquers Hate

Marvin.
Such a lovely man with so much heart and soul.  I have been thinking of him today.  Mars, Pluto, Marvin and Music.  I own his box set – gonna give it a go here soon.

Marvin was a 12 degree Aries Sun, Mercury combust, Saturn at 19 Aries.
Saturn is debilitated in Aries, and Mercury is weakened by such a close degree to Sun.  Combust means the solar rays overpower the Mercurial judgement and the ego is given free rein over intellect. 

This debilitated conjunction squares both his 29 degree Cancer Pluto and also his Mars in Capricorn. Mars in Capricorn is steeping in Saturn already and in square to the Sun Saturn conjunction that can mean conflict and restriction of actions, and aggravation with authority or the father because of it.  (Sun and Saturn in the natal chart signify the father, males and authority.)

Pluto in the last degree of Cancer is a completion degree and is fully cooked – so to speak – in the lunar, feeling landscape of home and family.  If you read my last post, you know wherever Pluto lands in the natal you will undergo tremendous changes and it is the pressure cooker point in your chart.  In Marvin’s case – Pluto in Cancer means trouble with family.  Marvin suffered failed relationships with women, battled depression and drug addiction and made several suicide attempts.

The day before Marvin would have turned 45, his father accidentally shot and killed him. Marvin was trying to break up a fight between his parents over legal documents.
Saturn (father) in Aries (Mars ruled- weapon) square Pluto (death).
Listen to the lyrics in the song below for a chilling prophetic line..

Let’s leave that sad story and concentrate on his music.
It is worthy of celebration, Marvin was fantastic.
Marvin began his career in 1958, scoring his first big hit in 1963 with Pride and Joy.
He has had countless hits, recorded with the greats throughout his career. Marvin had Venus in Pisces (exalted) quintile (spiritual gifts) Uranus in Venus – ruled Libra.  Groundbreaking art forms for sure.  He also had Uranus quintile Pluto in Cancer and you can hear the soul pouring out in his songs.

I love that he had North Node in Scorpio trine Chiron in Cancer.
Sexual Healing.

rest in peace Marvin…

Desires on parade

Firebird and Phoenix by Markova Dasha

Tuesday April 10 CST, USA Pluto stations retrograde 11:25 am

Friday April 13 CST, USA Mars stations direct 10:53 pm

Prior post here (click).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto DESIRES.
Pluto is SEX.
POWER.
OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY.
DEATH.
Pluto is FORCE – the drag you kicking and screaming like it or not GAME CHANGER.
Pluto DELVES DEEP.
Pluto is DEFIANCE.
STRUGGLE.
Pluto is INTENSE.
Pluto rules anything small or miraculous.
Pluto may be small but take it from someone who has it hooked up with BOTH luminaries – Pluto’s packin’ one hell of a punch.  Underestimate it at your own peril.

Pluto is the light burning from behind the eyes – the DIVINE WILL.  Pluto is the higher octave of Mars the aggressor.

Mars is the PERSONAL WILL – the physical energy behind the natal chart – it is your blade, your weapon, the traditional ruler of Scorpio.

Mars and Pluto are kicking into gear this week – POWER IS FLUCTUATING.

Pluto is a generational planet, moves slowly and will stay in one sign from anywhere from 11-30 years (average 21 years).

Mars is a personal planet moves through a sign on average every 2 months.
Mars has been in Virgo since November 10, 2011.
Mars kicks the door in on Libra on July 3.
FINALLY.
Eight months of aggressive Virgo nit-picking self – flagellation will be ovah.
Hallelujah AMEN !

Not only will Capricorn and Virgos feel this shift – Scorpio (Pluto rules) and Aries (Mars rules) will likely feel it as well.

In the natal, also find any planets in Scorpio or the 8th house to see where Pluto kicks that planetary energy into high gear.  ie: A Moon in Scorpio or Moon in the 8th is akin to Moon conjunct Pluto.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  I am a late 67 Virgo stellium.  Mercury at MC, with 9th house Sun conjunct Uranus and (8th house) Pluto, Pluto trines my Taurus Moon in 4th.

Sun is the center, the ego, the spirit, it rules the heart and the creative spirit.
Pluto conjunct Sun in my experience is continual life-long ego hits – one right after another.  Sun conjunct Pluto is a regeneration of who you are at the visible level – what others see.  A regeneration of how the self expresses the creative spirit, it is WILL POWER.

Contact with Moon is just as powerful – it is POWERFUL INSTINCTUAL DESIRES and a need to plumb the emotional depths.  It is the subconscious brought to the surface to breathe deeply of fresh air and it ain’t always pretty.  We humans are a twisted little bunch ~ beautiful, but twisted.  Contacts to Moon means fluctuation of personality, family and home, restructuring of security, powerful insight into the psyche – it is emotionally wrangling – the discomfort zone 24/7.

Where Pluto lands you will always find CHANGE and MAJOR GROWTH.

Pluto in any aspect reveals a struggle, a force of atomic change that will completely destabilize and restructure that planetary energy.  Pluto rules atomics – positive or negatively charged atoms are called ions.  When you feel better after a thunderstorm, or after you smudge with sage, that is Pluto at work changing energies on a sub-atomic level.  Expect the same energies at work when dealing with Pluto and Scorpio in the natal chart.

Plutonic energies are shifting in the house of Capricorn.
Martian energies are shifting in the house of Virgo.

Find your Capricorn and Virgo houses (also Scorpio and Aries houses) and apply the below to your chart to see where you will be feeling the shift in energies.

Here’s a very general guideline:
1/7 = self/others
2/8 = mine/ours
3/9 = learning/teaching
4/10 = home/career
5/11 = personal will/ will for others
6/12 = personal health & work/ universal health & service

If you need a quick fix and release from overwhelming desires – disengage. (click)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto stations retrograde on Tuesday (USA) in trine to Mars Rx in Virgo and trine Jupiter in Taurus.  That’s gonna tap the primal instincts and crank up the volume on the libido.  Especially true since Moon is trine Sun and Uranus from free – wheeling Sagittarius.

Emotions and instincts are expansive and we are communicating them. Mercury is coming up to dance with Uranus in Aries again, so surprises are on the way from men in your life.  Communications with women or lovers are favored with a quintile between Mercury and Venus.

questions and comments welcomed…

Light in dark places

Posted on by


Centaur – AnHellica

Recent events have turned my focus on Chiron in the natal chart.

The chart for the time Chiron was discovered (October 18,1977) reveals a conjunction between the Moon’s North Node and Pluto in Libra (14 degrees) and also a conjunction between Mercury and Sun in Libra (24 degrees).
Venus is also placed in Libra (1 degree) which it rules. Chiron’s placement is in Taurus (3 degrees) which, like Libra, is ruled by Venus.  source
 
In greek mythology, Chiron was the son of Kronos (Saturn/ time) and Philyra (nymph daughter of Oceanus) who was abandoned at birth by his parents.  Apollo (God of the Sun) became Chiron’s foster father, teaching him how to cultivate the creative spirit through music, divination, and the healing arts. 

Chiron became mentor to many Greek heroes including Jason, Achilles and Hercules teaching them archery, ethics, and herbal medicine. Chiron was accidentally shot by one of Hercules’ poisoned arrows.  Being a demi-god who could not die, he searched endlessly for a cure – accumulating vast knowledge in the healing arts in his search.  

In a final bid to relieve his endless suffering, Chiron ends his life by exchanging places with Prometheus, who was chained to a rock and tortured for delivering fire to humans. Chiron was later immortalized in the constellation Centaurus.  Chiron is known as the wounded healer.  In the natal chart Chiron indicates where you suffer, but also where you heal through service to others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cen  means center of a circle (Earth), Taur  means Taurus, the bull.
The circle  or spiritual sun = LOVE (Venus rules Taurus).
For God so loved the world…

Planetoid Chiron was discovered in between Saturn (time/ authority) and Uranus (rebellion/ freedom) and points to unconventional progress through finding union and workable solutions between seemingly disparate goals.

When reading Chiron in the natal, focus on this:
USE what you KNOW you HAVE to find BALANCE.
(Saturn, Uranus, Venus rules Taurus and Libra.)

Consider Chiron the energy bridge between the tools (Saturn) and divine intuition (Uranus).  It is preparation meets opportunity.  Chiron is the hopeful (Centaurian) risk – the gamble on love, harmony and union – faith in spiritual balance on the highest level. (Saturn is exalted in Libra)

If we USE Chiron’s vibration properly – the highest vibration of personal love (Venus  rules personal love) transcends into Neptune, DIVINE love, and healing of the spirit body which is eternal.

Energy is energy ~> conduit <~ the healer is also healed.

The vibration of Chiron is peace of mind in the physical Taurean body, and love and balance in the intellectual actions and relations with others – Venus.
Venus shares.  Venus pays it forward.
The centaur Chiron (like Sagittarius) expands the horizons, forms new philosophies and is both teacher and eternal student. Chiron is a wandering maverick, a loner who brings an awakening to – and a bridge between opposites.


Chiron the Centaur – Bloommer

Did you feel a Chronic shift lately…?

Venus in Gemini was the focal point of the recent T-Square, which also involved Mars Rx in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces. Venus (exalted in Pisces) was activating Neptune (which is conjunct Chiron in Pisces), soOo Earthkind received a massive influx of Venusian Full Moon Chironic energies the last few days straight from Chiron’s 8th house – enter Plutonic regeneration !   Yowsa ! 
Full Moon brings information and the days directly afterward bring dispersal of full moon knowledge…

My Chiron is in late Pisces. Gemini is not a big player in my chart, but Mercury is.
Virgo stellium and my biggie Neptune square to Venus/Jupiter were also tapped in the last few days. I have felt a very interesting vibe since the moon was full to say the least.  a cha cha

Look to Chiron in your natal and see what rules that house. Where is that planet and what it is aspecting ? That’s your KEY to HEALING.

Clues: Is it in fire, earth, air or water ? Is your KEY cardinal, fixed or mutable ?

Look also to Venus for what you HAVE that will bring BALANCE. 

Look to Saturn, where it lives and what it aspects to find your TOOLS and how to USE them. 

Look to Uranus for the REVOLUTIONARY SOLUTION.

Remember that squares are internal hurdles to healing.  Oppositions are where you have to compromise with others.  Trines and sextiles are your way out – the support group, so to speak.  Trines are an easy pre-existing energy – but you have to activate it.  Sextiles are opportunities you have to go fetch – you have to introduce the planets to each other in order to establish an energetic relationship between them.

Full Moon at 17 degrees Libra approaches…..Friday at 2:19 pm CST, USA

Viggo is Libra Sun.  Aquarius Moon.

Full Moon in Libra will be trine Viggo’s Chiron.

He is a beautiful diplomat (Libra stellium) who knows the actions (Aqua Moon trine Mars Rx in Gemini) must be thought out, researched, explored – for there are two sides to everything.  Possiblities are endless.  Life, time is in a constant state of flux, always.

Yet Saturn is exalted in Libra…he knows some things are timeless.  Love and kindness, for example. (Viggo has Libra Sun, Venus, North Node and Chiron all sextile Saturn)

The right word, gesture or tiny seed of an idea planted at the precise right time can change everything for the better. (Mercury conjunct Jupiter, both sextile Pluto in Virgo)

Saturn Rx currently rests on his Libra Sun, is approaching his North Node at 22 degrees Libra. Saturn will go direct on his North Node (conjuncts his Venus) on Monday the 25th of June.  A project, an agreement, a labor of love years in the making will flower or reach culmination at that time.  It will likely involve travel and a respected mentor.

Viggo has Saturn in Sagittarius.  The serious thinker and traveller, he works (photography, poems) while he plays, he documents and records what he sees.
If you are very lucky, he will tell you what he is thinking.

Viggo’s Libra Venus is conjunct my Mercury.

Hearts & Arrows

Posted on by
Venus square Neptune
Internal tension.
~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing what you want to see…?
Perhaps.
~~~~~~~~~~
Low : no $$ + love woes, dissolution of self-worth, illusions surrounding both
High : creative tension stronger than a trine if solved, see the bright side- make art !
~~~~~~~~~~~
Mars Rx is also squaring Venus, so what actions to take..?
(Virgos square Gemini… hmmm…getting technical re: dexterity)
~~~~~~~~~~
Surprise scientific art ?  (Venus sextile Uranus)
~~~~~~~~~~
Art regarding the subconscious mind ? (Venus trine Moon)
Yes !
Above is a quick doodle I drew of me and my Sagittarius ex husband years ago.  (Actually it is a quick trace, the original doodle is on the edge of a newspaper.)
You may recognize the early beginnings of my sigil.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sigil is latin for sigillum, meaning “seal”, though it may also be related to the Hebrew word, סגולה (segula) meaning “word, action, or item of spiritual effect, a talisman.” Sigils are often used in renaissance and chaos magic. (wiki)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chaos being appropriate since I have Sun conjunct Uranus Pluto.  There is much symbolism in the sigil, some of it only apparent to me after I completed it.  Typical Neptunian artwork, the cosmos came through my pen, and my drawing revealed more as I gazed at it longer…
~~~~~~~~~~~
What do you doodle absent-mindedly and what does it say about you..?

Pretty amazing stuff surfaces from the wandering unconscious mind when we doodle.

Your pen becomes a direct link to your subconscious – what you doodle is very revealing …like psychic paper…
~~~~~~~~~
Doodling reduces stress, is good for memory, aids in concentration and recall.  Doodles reveal emotions and moods and tendencies of the doodler – the same types of doodles are often repeated over & over.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Scientific studies show doodling while listening to a long-winded telephone message improved the doodlers recall by 29 percent.
Read more here: Professor Jackie Andrade, Ph.D.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Doodle personality ?
Triangles, sun, shadings and planets = Ambition
Abstract shapes, repeats doodles and fills circles = free spirit
Hearts, flowers, stars, question marks and 3D boxes = impatience
Flowers, lips, star and heart doodles = romantic
Spiders, bricks walls and webs = insecure, needs structure, boundaries
(interesting yes, as Saturn the planet of restriction rules spiders)
~~~~~~~~~~
Where do you doodle ?
middle of the page = extrovert, craves attention, personal space
top of page = high confidence
right side = needs to convey an important message
left side = nostalgia
~~~~~~~~~~
Doodle meanings
Spirals : hopelessness. If tight and intricate = complicated, difficult situation
Arrows : tremendous personal drive and a sense of determination to realize the target
Squares : need to maintain order and gain control. Squares within squares is secrets
Slashed lines : anger, frustration.
Hearts : Love.  Arrows, pain in love.
Stars : ambition, desire to achieve success, personally or professionally.
Webs : Thick webs = desire for friends, increase in money power and status
Chains : yearning for freedom, doodler is stressed
Circles : completion or coming together
Clouds : happiness, freedom.  If stormy, anger, depression or hopelessness
Flowers :  happy relationships, growing friendship.
Houses : homesick, longing for a home
Dimensional objects : intellect, logic
Dots : restless, high concentration
Jagged lines : resentment, hostility
Ovals : perfectionist, beginnings
Stairs and steps : aspiration, yearns for advancement
Eyes :  big eyes = extrovert; small eyes = introvert
Closed eyes = no, contemplation; laughing eyes = joy and happiness

happy doodling~
