Mercury in Leo communicates with confidence, flair and gusto due to influence of the Sun.   Glowing positive thinkers filled with sunshine, creativity and romance are the norm for this placement.

Mercury is mutable, dual; Leo is fixed which brings a steadiness to the mind.  Sharing ideas, expressing themselves eloquently with style, grace while backed by powerful projection is to be expected.  This placement heralds excellent teachers due to the ability to hold rapt attention through their skill at combining the creative with the intellectual. 

Leo Mercury is  a playful trickster brainstorming takes place on the paintball course or on the sports field.  You are likely to see them thinking/talking/juggling with their hands, drawing or in some way using their hands to enhance creative thought processes.

The Mercurial mind under influence of the Sun enhances physical agility, provides persuasive powers, enhances clear communication, rapport with authority figures.  Sales is a natural as is working with young people, in sports or creative writing/speaking fields.

Working together

photo 9Quantum Tarot

Spirit/Crux card first today.
6 Pents
Quarks never exist singly, they always make up composite particles called hadrons.
Hadrons come in two forms: baryons have (3 quarks) both protons and neutrons; mesons are one quark and one anti (matter) quark.  Mesons are very unstable and don’t last long.
Hadrons are fundamental to atomic nuclei, thus all physical matter in the universe.

Pents = earth, $$, also Venus (vids here)
Six (Venus) is change within flux – balance between giving and receiving, composite groupings which change us through give and take.  This card encourages us to consider the dialectic between giving and taking and what part of the spectrum we currently occupy.

Uranus is the unstable here – the enlightener, the rebel the perspective shifter – the lightning bolt, the unpredictable.

The question last – targeting the energies of Venus/Moon in Cancer against the square to Uranus/Mars energies in Aries for greatest insight.
photo 8Three of Cups – Three is a nod to Jupiter and growth

Mercury leaves Cancer to meet Jupiter and Sun in Leo later today.  Power of three – with Venus joining the party August 12.

There are two types of star clusters: large globular (old and dying stars); open clusters (less dense, younger stars).  The Pleiades is an open cluster visible to the naked eye.
Open clusters are rich in exotic phenomena such as pulsars – one star can have a dramatic effect on its neighbors.

Gatherings of 2 or more, parties and brainstorming – synergies that are on the way with thinking, speaking Mercury heading into Leo the Lionhearted.

Creative juices and stimulating encounters are happening internally with the square, but they are born when we integrate our lives with others.  We SEE what we need to change when we move about our lives in an ocean of others.

Balance within flux.
Synergy = Coexistence
The whole is greater than the simple sum of its parts.

News came in this eve that someone close to me was the victim of police brutality.    Tasered, cuffed, kicked/beaten bloody while unconscious without provocation.  Onlookers called an ambulance (disregarding police warnings to mind their own business), thankfully putting a stop to what could have been much worse.

Mars rules police, weapons, and aggression; obviously tazers are Uranus.

Briefly, big factors via transits were Saturn return with Full Moon in Capricorn (7.12) square natal Mercury/Neptune conjunction while transiting Mars/N Node rode same conjunction.  Transiting Jupiter rode natal Uranus which squared the same natal conjunction.
Cardinal cross landed in solar houses 1,4,7,10 aka crisis and an outrush of activity.

Saturn rules justice (or lack thereof), karma, restriction; Jupiter on Uranus equals one hell of a surprise.
Note: Transits listed are not those of the defendant, but of rather those of a close relation.
I don’t have the heart to say much of anything else.
Signing off as I usually do.

Peace.

AlchAlchemical Tarot Renewed

Quick read on the energies for highest manifestation

1. Two of Staffs, Fire = Venus trine Saturn : Flames of Hermes and Aphrodite combined, united passions (2)

2. Nine of Staffs, Fire = Mercury/Sun square Mars : Grey wolf burned in a fire (to reclaim the King he swallowed) a necessary sacrifice, a culmination of passion, FYI: next pip is phoenix (9)

3: Lady of Staffs, Fire = Last two hits of Uranus square Pluto : Doing the Dance of the New in the hot, dry desert ! !

Obviously we are ! hot to trot to create !  with Lots of Leo energy & Mars amping up Scorpio.  Venus trine Saturn acts as bit of grease to the mental work wheel of Mercury & Sun & Jupiter. Square Mars.  Make your work playful to take the edge off.  Do work you love, if at all possible, or bring love to what work you are doing.  Also a lovely heads up that passion and groovy positive messages are on the UP with incoming Uranus/Pluto squares as Lady acts as Page.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::

This reading pleases me greatly.  I am working my ass off, if you see me disappear from here, it means I am working job 1 (6/wk) or mowing my yard or something of that nature is keeping me from here – because I love being here, exploring energies.  As a side note, Saturn direct sends it back over my Scorpio Neptuner in 11, my ankle pain is worsening again, if my work here decreases a bit, that would be why.

Mercury into Leo, Frank Herbert, et. al. (You know who you are.) up asap.

Also, I love this deck, seems apt for my Alchemical tagline, yes ?  You can see Robert Place, the creator of this deck in the supernatural tarot vid narrated by Christopher Lee on a prior post here (see comments).  He can also be found by clicking on the Alchemical link above.  He is a tarot historian, I highly rec !  I have yet to read here with my vampire deck, (he also created) but drew Mina (Priestess) for myself at first go (also pleased me greatly).

I will read with it here eventually, perhaps now that Mars is into Scorp !
Have a good day all. . .more at lunch (?) . . .

snowballs chance

Never tell me the odds by OKTotallyAndy Helms

Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1.

This scene popped into my head first thing when I woke up.
Mercury is statistics, counting the numbers; square Mars in Scorpio, thoughts of driving straight into likely certain death.

Likes and dislikes are Venus/Uranus

Cancer Mercury is (out-of sign) square Mars in early Scorpio and will be closing the gap over the next seven days while Cancer Venus closes the square to Uranus Rx in Aries.

Venus square Uranus
attracts the sublime radical weird
squares motivate us to reach our highest actualization
Just saying.

May the Force be with You

Tidal sway

Rebecca Guay RegenerateRebecca Guay,  Regenerate

Thoughts on the emotional, intuitive Grand Water Trine & kite . . .
Cancer Venus opposing Pluto in Capricorn is all about the past and letting go, attracting the activity that heals and regenerates.  Love, kindness and support.

These signs you can count on (under good aspects) to help haul your ass over the finish line if you are unable to yourself.  These signs are kin – by blood or by choice, they are your anchors.  These signs/houses are also places in your chart where you can summon the rock or the surrender.

Venus trine Saturn trine Chiron across the intuition houses of tidal sway is passive, introverted and reflective.  Teaching ourselves how to swim forward from the inner heartspace of New Leo Moon.  Inner SEEING is up to bat with several squares pushing us to reach our highest vibration – we are uncomfortable, restless.

Mercury is now square North Node in Libra – feelings of attraction, love, creativity and harmony are in the forefront of our minds as Mercury is also moving to square Uranus in Aries.  Clever but cautious – as Uranus is Rx and quincunx Saturn.  Logic with Love.
Sense & Sensibility. 

Scorpio Mars squares Jupiter, both sitting in fixed signs mulling over the obstacle course ahead that we have laid before ourselves.  What we dream, what we desire from our deepest well to create.  Intentions set at New Moon now require sweat equity to really work, they need constant vigilance and directional adjustments.

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

Mars moving to conjunct Saturn in Scorpio near the Full Moon at 18 degrees  Aquarius on August 10 puts a new fire and focus under our workdrives.  This full moon will square Saturn and oppose Sun and Mercury in Leo.  We will be juggling creative brainstorms like wild – Sun and Mercury trine Uranus !

Drives and Desires to create will be Supersonic – note if you have these planets working together or prominent in your natal, you may feel this power a few days earlier than I indicated, I gave a 5 degree orb, I give sensitives 7 degrees.

Contemplate these things as young moon grows to full bohemian rebel.
It’s sure to be a wild ride full of surprises !

Thunder birth

thunder_birth_by_offermoord-d79qr6z

Let the muse make whatever needs to be made,
let the muse tend the fire. Your whole body
is curled like an ear I wanted to talk
into all evening. Your hand, a ring
of articulated keys. I want that moment
when we climb down the bright ladder
of ecstasy, when our breath comes back,
when everything is alive, present
in the moment with nothing to wait for,
nothing to worry over, only the need to rise
into the beauty that is.

Carl Adamshick

good grief

BtZvE8yIgAAW59B.jpg-largeAssassinsQueeNIII

Emotional energy is strong : 
– Mars at 29 Libra, ready to push off into Scorpio 
– Void Cancer Moon at 19; Mercury 17; and Venus 8

Deep Cancer roots and growth (or lack thereof) is in opposition to Pluto in Capricorn.
They feel each other profoundly – juggling – the energies of emotional growth and/or restriction/ power or powerlessness back and forth to find balance.  We all feel it in a myriad of ways according to our individual circumstances/ transits/ chart.

This little Charlie Brown tomato is a beef master.
I saw this little tomato in my garden, and I laughed.
Later, I cried because I identify with this sad little tomato on a pitiful little stalk who has given its all to produce one magnificent thing.  

Working 2 jobs, no vaca, single 10 years, hornmoanal, mysterious health issues, Saturn opp moon, plethora of Cancer, soopercranky Mars, fight with dude at work.  pffft.
This too shall pass.

All that is hard, but, I have this place, Gneiss Moon Astrology.
It brings me joy.
It is a boatload of work – but also happiness.

I wasn’t going to share this pitiful little tomato (that I carefully planted on the Cancer moon to ensure good growth) because it doesn’t speak very highly of my gardening skills of late.

This little vine proudly produced a tomato, it deserves a bit of spotlight, yeah ?!
Not every tomato in the world is going to be perfectly red, big and juicy, not every transit delivers sunshine and rainbows.

Not everyone has or wants big numbers, some are doing just fine doing what they can as fast as they can as well as they can for as many as they can.  

This void moon post is for them.
For us.
The Charlie Browns.

Grief can lead to good things via Plutonic shifts in perspective. 

I may not have the ear of thousands, but I have the ear of those who do.
Just keep swimming !

Love & peace & thanks to my loyal readers.
