Feeling the Cardinal Cross, at odds all morning…really forcing myself to come out of the shadows.  There are also water trine energies…so feeling meditative, contemplative with a chance of emotional undertow.  I’ve had my nose in a book, studying all morning.  Lots of info and patterns, circles coming back around…so much so I need more time to process.

Many of my generation (late 60’s) have their natal Scorpio Neptune being popped by the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse.  If you want an idea, here’s the approximate stats: 1965 Neptune 18′, 1966 Neptune 20′, 1967 Neptune 22′, 1968 Neptune 24′, 1969 Neptune 26′.

Total Solar Eclipse
November 13
21 56′ Scorpio

Pisces, and its ruler, Neptune are the psychic sponges of the zodiac.  If they are strong in your chart, you are going to be sensitive to vibrations / disturbances in the force, both positive and negative.

Those of you born with Neptune at 21+ degrees will have the solar eclipse energy applying (stronger) on your Neptune.  More about that in next post.

Moon-eyed feelings are in Cancer, ten days before an eclipse.  Water, home, mother and the public.  Intuition is sky high, feelings are tidal in this cross of action driven Cardinal signs.   Moon opposes Pluto the transformer, trines Sun and Saturn in Scorpio as rebuilding takes place on the Atlantic coast and islands hit by our mothers waves and fury.

It varies storm to storm, but on average, the diameter of hurricane-force winds is 100 miles, while the average diameter of tropical storm (gale) force winds is 300 to 400 miles.  Sandy was the largest hurricane (by gale diameter) ever observed in the Atlantic basin: 945 mi / 1,520km.

I did mention Saturn is in Scorpio – Saturn is slow, methodical and tests the patience.  Neither Saturn nor Pluto is fast acting; they are however extremely thorough in turning out the insides, shining a light, peering into the heart and soul of a situation and making it infinitely improved.

Being packed with Scorpio and Pluto energy (NNode is in Scorp too) is at this point a mixed blessing – a contradiction I am intimately familiar with – my 8th house Pluto is conjunct my Sun and trine my Moon.

Having and in fact, being an intense experience is all I have ever known.  I am generally given a wide berth. . .which ironically is a nautical term – compass to the fact I have a big Neptuner in 11.

Pluto means POWER and powerless.
Pluto forces surrender to the regenerative process.

Scorpio Saturn sextiles Pluto in Capricorn : mutual reception : slow, steady painful metamorphosis.

Straight – no chaser.
Emotional rebirth on the physical plane. 
Pluto and Saturn are tough and will force us to become tough as well.
This applies Micro (personally) and Macro (globally).

While Saturn is predictable: work, testing and perfecting – Pluto changes it up: life, tantric energy, death, rebirth and intensive research through experiencing all 3.

Yes, you have experienced death – you are eternally in a state of cellular, spiritual and emotional flux – this is Plutonic force at work within us.

Scorpio Saturn trines Chiron Rx in Pisces – this test will ultimately heal.  Chiron was the wounded centaur who studied the healing herbal arts, taught others and and in typical centaur fashion – he was optimistic, he had faith, and he was enthusiastic to learn.   Saturn in Scorpio = Time to dig in.
