Plutonic Alchemy

Posted on by

Arthur Hugot

Those of you with transiting Pluto ripping through an angular house (1,4,7,10) – RESPECT.
 
I’m a Capricorn rising with Pluto ripping up my no longer secret identity in One. 
PLUTO REVEALS.   

Pluto in One who the fuq AM I anyway  ?  is just as fun as it sounds like, but the really fun part is Pluto is also ripping up OUR identity via opposition with Seven.  Meaning me and you : never on the same turf for two consecutive minutes : the not – so – secret knock down drag out, we either are in peace talks or have each other by the throat.  Do we love or do we hate ?  Likely it is both – feels like both.

Thrillseekers note:
Pluto will deliver passionate desire right along with kickass rebirth.

Those of you with Pluto in Seven are feeling much the same as the Ones above, only your relationships with OTHERS are getting the major overhaul first and foremost and that means getting a grip on yourSELF as well.  Good luck with that – Pluto digs deep for the sludge in the swamp – what it dredges up is not for the hearts & rainbows crowd.
The scales of Justice and BALANCE are swinging wildly with Pluto in houses One or Seven.

Those of you with Pluto in Four and Ten – it’s your STeAmPunK coming OUT party !  What you once held private and oh – so – dear is now public fodder – Pluto is waving  your family flag for all to see.  Four gets primal pain and the whammy rebirth following  via home and private family matters undergoing metamorphosis.  I said steampunk because it is the POWER inherent in patching and piecing the plundered.  Positive mental & emotional alchemy made manifest on the physical – HOPE – the sword reforged.  REBIRTH.

Tens are undergoing much the same as the Fours only their career is kicking ass into high gear – take no prisoners.  Capricorn on Ten is fuq all ambitious, it is born and bred, they need to CLIMB and CONQUER.  Pluto ripping it up in career will shed light into the dark caverns of who has kept you from what you feel you rightly deserve.  Family or parents, most likely.  It will also shed light onto who or what you have USED to get where you are today, or conversely how others are using YOU.

One last thing… y’all out there feelin’ all cocky: ‘fuq yeah, I got a handle on this’ Pluto is in my Tenth or Fourth or whatever’ lol.  I got a newsflash for ya – Go back and re-read the whole thing – ’cause you are GETTING IT ALL via SQUARES or OPPOSITION to EVERY OTHER angle.

Ain’t that the fuqsticker  ?! . . . and I didn’t even mention Uranus.
See how nice I am ?

cheers to progress via Plutonic plunder

Turn the Tide

Rain of Feelings

We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes, our ravages.
Our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to transform them in ourselves and others.
Albert Camus

Weekend, blessed weekend.  sheesh – whadda week.  Seems like everywhere I turn someone is in a snit.  The emotional Neptunian tide is turning with a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on the way – whoa.  Some peeps seriously need to chill.  
SoOo on with energy clearing via water, as promised.

::::::::::::::
Water cleansing 101

The ugly cry. 
Instant pent up hornmoanal release !  Emotional tears contain more protein-based hormones, and leucine enkephalin (a natural painkiller).  That’s right, your very own, in house, Doctor Feelgood, on call 24/8 !

Hydrate.  Drink water, lots of water – blessed by you – with your intent (prayer). 
Neptune rules Memory, Neptune rules the sea – think – Earth is 70 % water : your body is roughly the same percentage.  Sending your good vibrations and intent (prayer) to the water will change the molecular structure and increase the health benefits immediately in your liquid body. [ via Memory of Water. ]  If you like soda, consider sparkling water instead : fizz, without high fructose – add some fruit juice for natural sugar.

Bathe with sea or epsom salts.
Sea salts are absorbed quicker through the skin, they are alkaline and therefore help to lower the acidity of the body.  Salt helps the body produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain, and it also relieves muscle aches and cramps by removing accumulated lactic acid in the body.

Epsom salt will replenish the level of magnesium in the body and is very helpful in treating many skin conditions.  * Make a spritzer with essential oil / distilled water for crisis situations – will do wonders !

Sing in the shower.
Really let ‘er rip !  Unspoken rule at chez moon – shower goes with music goes with shower.  They are ALWAYS conjunct in this house.  Sound waves penetrate water faster – so choose wisely.  Sound moves at a faster speed in water (1500 meters/sec) than in air (about 340 meters/sec).

Since we are talking Neptune and waves, all matter is made of waves.  
All forces are due to changes in wave velocity.

Vibrate higher, feel lighter.
Transcend.

deeper

Posted on by

WoW.
 I have been getting the best deep sleeps of my life this past week, I love it.

I am making up for all the time I lost sleep when Uranus was parked on my natal Saturn Rx in Aries trine Mars.  I was taking the blues every night – and still couldn’t sleep a wink, it was weird and robotic. 

So moving with the cycles, I am sleeping as much as I can when Neptuner is in flux.
The weird Uranian passage will return to my natal when Uranus stations direct on December 13. 
Everyone else having deep sleeps ..?   Curious.
Me, deep sleeps / sci-fi movie fixation – Neptuner most highly aspected in 11th.  I am feeling it, loving it …f i n a l l y… we return to the deep seas…

I’ll be back this evening with more about energy clearing via WATER.

Total Solar Eclipse 
November 13
21 56′ Scorpio
3:59pm CST,USA

::::::::::::::::::::::::

Neptune is magnetic, negative, astringent and contractive.  It is moist, warm, fruitful, mysterious and elusive.

Sun and (New) Moon are conjunct earth during the total solar eclipse in Scorpio.

We will effectively be drawing down the solar and lunar rays of this eclipse onto the material plane.

Your SCORPIO HOUSE is getting an influx of RAPID GROWTH.

Sun enhances / induces spiritual illumination
Moon enhances / induces moral and physical development

If you were born in the late 60’s this eclipse will draw down solar and lunar energies into the Scorpio area of your natal chart where Neptune lives.

I am writing WILL BE when in fact, if Neptune is a major player in your chart, you ALREADY HAVE BEEN getting this, yes ?  I have for some time.

Sun is magnetic; new moon less so.

Given that the eclipse is exact in the Venusian 7th house of Libra (magnetic), Venus is trine Jupiter from AIR to AIR and Mercury will next pass over the eclipse point in Rx…

Communication is on the table and it surrounds money, creativity, love.  
Most probably all 3.

When Neptune is involved – use caution and stay grounded in reality at least during the daytime – trust me on this one !

Magicks in grounding to ponder on a Virgo moon.
Rocks WILL help ground you…
Will return…

mojo rising

Posted on by

Samhain crossquarter day, or summer’s end, traditionally falls on the calendar date of October 31st in the Northern hemisphere, May 1st in the Southern hemisphere – though it astrologically falls several says later at 15′ Scorpio. 

Also known as All Hallows Eve, Hallowmas, and in Mexico as The Day of the Dead, it is the time of year when the veil between the world of the living and the dead is thinnest. 

Candles are lit to guide spirits to the ritual feast.  Offerings to the familiar dead (ancestors) are filled with warm memories, altars are rich with personal treasures.

Autumn marigolds spill from vases, the warm smell of cinnamon cider fills the air, tables are laden with nuts, mushrooms, pomegranates, pumpkins and squash – all in fond remembrance of the dead.

All are gifts to help loved ones on earth celebrate both life and the release to death by helping guide loved ones to the lands of eternal summer.
::::::::::::::::
As I mentioned in my last post – this is a fabulous time to shed / transform unwanted memories / habits / pain and close the door to loss with a ceremony of respect for the dead. 

I have done this and found it extremely helpful – grab a pen and a big piece of paper.

We are going for total stream of consciousness writing, let it all out – no editing –  Make a list of all your trepidations, fears or unwanted habits – or better yet, all 3. 

What you feel holds you in chains, what you think is confining you, what you wrestle against to find freedom.  What you want to release, you write !

Write it all down from as far back as you feel you need to – be specific !

Know that with the intent of writing you are purging all the negativity and fearful energy from yourself onto the paper which will be released to its death.

Create a blessing, prayer, a spell that releases the energy back into the universe, cleansed and renewed by fire.

Throw your writings into the fire and watch them burn.  Envision :say aloud: what good deeds will come, describe your new life, the new hope within you as your phoenix rises in the smoke. 

peace be with you

Samhain crossquarter day – Sun at 15′ Scorpio…more on that later

Libra Venus trine Jupiter Rx in Gemini : Air to Air with Mercury in flux ?  haha all kinds of interesting information is popping up, yes ?   Saw that comin’.

Neptune is stationing direct Sunday, with Mercury in Rx flux – cue sleep of the dead replete with wacko dream scenarios ? Check ! 

Mine ? : Music festy cuss and discuss (surprise ! on live cam) morphs into surrounded by antiques, quilts and stitching – but not just any stitching – heirloom stitching, recorded for historical and $$ value, and of course, cue Mercurial man, shiny object, white clapboard stairs leading everywhere, construction workers and we have a sign of Neptuner turning this ship around ! 
My sweet old quilting bee ladies in New England got me covered, stitching up the pieces.  Hallelujah Amen sistah !   Let’s get on with it  !

Scorpio Saturn trine Chiron Rx in Pisces and it occurs to me all this purging of the old deadwood is fabulous, healthy and vital – but in truth – many events in our lives are forever a part of us and simply have to be morphed into a form we can live with.

Hold a death / change / metamorph ceremony for your memory.
Dig a hole in the earth, ground the energy, the awful memory – really deep six it if you have to.  Release the energetic connection it has with you / and you with it – with the burial …let it go…  Fill the hole with dirt, make an offering of tobacco, bless the earth and the seed with consecrated water.  Consider your memory the fertilizer that will nourish the new flower seed you plant.  New fresh life will grow and form new memories that feel better.

Jupiter rules ceremonies – faith, optimism and HOPE.

It helps – I’ve done this very thing – and it works.
Only one thing I keep from my horrible time and that is my tuning fork.

heartbeat of the universe

The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.  Joseph Campbell

Total Solar Eclipse
November 13
4:00pm CST, USA
21 57′ Scorpio

Total Solar Eclipse visibility can be seen here and animated here.
Prenumbral Lunar Eclipse Nov 28 visibility can be seen here.

More science regarding eclipses via NASA here.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
November 28
8:46am, CST USA
Gemini 6′ 47″
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The Total Solar Eclipse is in Scorpio conjunct Rahu, the Dragon’s Head (North Node), making Pluto Lord of the Eclipse.  Solar eclipses generate outward expression of the planetary energies : consciously visible changes will occur with this eclipse conjunct Rahu with Pluto as Lord.

During this eclipse, the Moon will entirely shadow the sun (see visibility above).   Astrologically this indicates emotions (water) are high – imagination, adaptability, issues surrounding home and family are heightened; (solar traits) ambition, glory-seeking egocentric behavior are lessened.

North Node, or Rahu, is considered a point of elevation – it is an amplifier – an influx of new energy will pour into your Scorpio house setting you in motion towards your destined future.

This eclipse is a Super Moon, which means the moon is perigee or closest point of approach to the earth.  The weather is often more intense, tides will be higher and lower near the exact date in addition to an increase in wind activity.  Again, lunar traits will be more strongly felt – emotions, home, family, instincts come strongly into focus, and sensitivity is keen.

Many born in the late 60’s will have the eclipse on or conjunct natal Neptune near the 21′ degree : feeling this eclipse strongly on that sensitive planet is likely if Neptune factors largely in your natal chart.  In which case, Pluto (Lord of eclipse) encourages  metamorphosis of all things Neptune, a purging of outdated desires, power reversals and surrender coupled with the beneficial healing and higher love for self and others  that comes with releasing what is no longer serving your highest goals / good.

Check your house of Scorpio to see where you will be feeling the shift.  Keep in mind solar eclipses are active for one year for each hour of shadow – and each successive planet that passes over the eclipse point will then add a new planetary energy to the eclipse gumbo !

Pluto rules fixed water, emotional endings – but also new beginnings !

Chiron will square Mercury Rx at the 0 degree of Sagittarius: re-thinking of learning, philosophies, teaching, healing methods and higher forms of communication of all kinds.

Chiron trines Saturn exact in Scorpio, suggesting new, healthy, firm foundations are the future results of this eclipse.  

Mercury Rx and new Neptune exact square – both at the cosmic portal – the point of possibilities : zero degrees : zero is also ruled by Pluto.  Mercury and Neptune are vibrating divine intuition and profound transformation at the time of this powerful eclipse.  whoa. cool.

Mars is conjunct the Galactic Center at 27 degrees Sagittarius during the eclipse.  Conjunctions to the Galactic Center call the planetary energy into vibration with all that exists beyond : super conscious intuition works in tandem with an underlying cosmic understanding of all that is.  Now THAT is Universal Higher Mind Expansion, Sagittarius style ! 

Mars conjunct Galactic Center while Uranus Rx in Aries (Mars rules) trines Mercury Rx in Sagittarius at zero degrees : a call to re-activate and re-invent ways of taking action that embody the higher qualities of Jupiter : honor, hope and charity towards others.   Here’s more on the Galactic Center via Johnathan Cainer’s interview with Eric Francis.

Taurus rises in the eclipse chart with Libra Venus trine Jupiter Rx in Gemini.  Seems to me like a pop refresher course on the Occultation of Venus: Gemini and Sagittarius pointed to ongoing improvement in the future evolution of communications.
Fascinating.
At that time Venus was square Mars while Mercury was exact opposite the Galactic Center.  From the occultation, we advance to this eclipse : Loving thought coupled with actions rooted in tolerance and acceptance of all life : micro / macro.

Right ON !
peace, love and kind veggie burritos

:::::::::::::::::::

Apologizes, stepped out for a bit on Sunday.   Was ill, and once I peeled myself off the floor I was in no mood for writing.  Natal pinball sent me TILT.   *see pic above The two heavies conjunct my natal Sun are square (Uran/Plu), the planet that touches nearly everything in my natal (Neptuner), is stationing direct while my MC planet (Merc) stations Retrograde – – wild, weird weekend – – I am glad it is behind me… back on track now.

As you can see from the above, lots going on, the eclipses I will finally address this evening in depth.
:::::::::::::::::::::
Within the hour, Moon enters Leo in square to Scorpio Saturn, trine to Mercury in Sagittarius.  Mercury is in flux, obviously, so while moon will get an influx of fire – choose words carefully, Mercury stations are prime times for communication snafus aka: brain out of gear while mouth is running.

Moon will enter Leo in trine to Uranus Rx in Aries [while Mercury also trines Uranus Rx] so messages emotionally relevant and very surprising will be popping up soon – You have mail !

Libra Venus closes the trine to Jupiter Rx in Gemini with a Leo moon in trine to Mercury, relevant messages that crack open unexpected future paths for you.  Saturn closes the trine to Chiron Rx in Pisces, healing is underway. . . just keep swimming ! 

Heads up on the stations: Think carefully : engage brain before blurt or someone could get hurt!

Happy Leo moon everyone !
