About Gneiss Moon

mercurious alchemy from the hub Neptuner.

Honestly this Uranus Pluto square will be the end of me, and I (Sun) knew that going in.  Two more left of seven exacts.  The hammer and the forge.

An oracle card I recently pulled so vividly demonstrates the current astro, (Saturn opposite Venus – as well as my own Saturn opposite natal Moon transit), I share it here.  Indeed, this card reveals much of Mars opposite Uranus both square Pluto in Capricorn as well.

The burden of the past, a time of tremendous negativity (Saturn) which contains within it the seeds for major enlightenment.  Powerful initiation into the true nature of reality, being brought face-to-face with the darker aspects of your personality as it is.
Every aspect of your life placed on the anvil.
Card: Mount Doom
(Capricorn is mountain; Pluto, unlimited power)

Negativity, resistance, limitations are tests.
Know that allies are alive and kicking in both ignorance and arrogance.

(Ignorance is Mercury/Saturn; arrogance is Sun/Leo)
Promising projects that appear easy in the mind’s eye, but are much more difficult in daily execution – that’s where attitude/altitude swagger in to finish the job.

1. Start.

2. Keep working.
3. Cultivate & grow good daily habits.
4. Repeat until new neural nets are formed.
5. Adjust flight plan en route.

Venus opposite Saturn – start by tipping the scales of balance.
Get real.
Make a choice.
Know your Heart.
Forge Ahead.

peace out

Chiron Retrograde while in trine to Saturn Rx in Scorpio and quincunx Uranus in Aries is two-eyed.  
Perhaps 3 if you get my drift.

One EYE towards the future – moving forward, reinvention.
One EYE towards the past – recycling, regenerating what already is.
Third EYE encompasses ALL that IS + ALL that WAS into = ONE.

Third eye is the chakra of SEEING, vision and insight.  It is the double petaled lotus that symbolizes resolution of duality.  
Healing the wound.
Pisces is the sign of cosmic debt, spirituality and secret sacrifices – it is also the sign of resilience, adaptation and emotional improvisation.  Pisces taps untold power straight from THE SOURCE, get grounded via the feet and life force flows.

Chiron shifting in quincunx to Uranus signals a need to be inventive in order to overcome personal beliefs that may be holding us back from healing.  Reset the break, re-apply remedies.  Future unfolds day to day, time passes slowly for those who wait – I get it.

Chiron squares houses of THINK and SEE, opposes the DAILY GRIND. Communications may be difficult, strained, thinking too wrapped up in emotions, minutiae.  Pause, breathe, re-boot.

Mind over matter.  
Unlearn what you have learned.

Chiron in trine to Saturn Rx in Scorpio is ultra perceptive, capable of digging deep to the root, the core – fearlessly facing the monsters murking in the depths – better yet, Saturn USES THEM , deals them a certain death so we may rise again from our own ashes, REBORN and FULL of POWER.

Underbelly

photo 58Oracle of the Radiant Sun

Incoming Sagittarius FULL Moon is a wild ride yeah ?
I pulled a couple of cards for clarity, since we are under a Moon Neptune square aka illusion, spiritual, slippery emo fish.
The above is the insight, the below the underbelly.
(Moon rules the belly.)

Freedom and the blade of individual truth SING under this moon.
Please note tweet on sidebar via Sagittarius wild thing Dominic.

Following old methods BLINDLY is not for an I SEE Full Moon.
Wild innovation and invention is zinging popping & cracking with Mars powering forward in artistic Libra headlong into an opposition with Aries Uranus, the genius inventor on steroids.

The established walls of propriety (Mars and Uranus square Pluto in old school Capricorn) are obviously being stormed by the discontented following their own beliefs.  

How dare !  Freedom ? ! !

This card indicates a blade (Mars/Libra – idea) to the head (Aries) – upturning your sitch to SEE it from an altered perspective.
Shift both Mental & Emotional viewpoints – spirit and physical will indeed follow their lead…

photo 59Our underbelly.
A cage, a prison cell and the stifled creativity of a caged bird who refuses to give up on life, spirit or love.  Oddly enough Venus is exalted in Pisces, despite how this card looks, Venus sings in this sign.

This card indicates a love of knowledge through experience – spirit willingly steps into earthbound material lessons in order to polish the rough spiritual form into a faceted diamond.

We sealed the deal (Venus opp Saturn) prior to incarnation – now we test our mettle, or strength of spirit – are we capable of fulfilling the promise we made to ourselves before we passed through the gate ?

Planets to scale – perspective shifter, yah ?  Plus Pluto gives the finger, heh.
I count Pluto – hell yes I do.

Once I learned what Sun/Uranus/Pluto entailed…the heavens parted, 
lightning cracked,  my brainpan burst wide open. It was a total –oh, so that’s it- revelatory moment
Same thing happened when I realized Pluto was the focal planet in my composite (chart of the relationship) with a friend.  We’re always peeling back the layers, transformation  station 24/7 – intensity unlike any other.

Scale of the planets in question when comparing charts is not important. If you need a refresher, check out the scale of the universe permanently loaded on the sidebar, Pluto rulership.  Everything matters, relative size is not an issue here.  Asteroids, when contacting personal planets, deliver insights well worth studying, though I tend to pay attention wherever they land in my natal.

What matters is the alchemical blend your planets create together.
Planets, signs and houses. 

What is important is what each planetary body represents to earthlings as a whole which directly relates to what was happening in the collective when each was discovered.
Eg. Pluto coincided with the invention and eventual detonation of the first atomic bomb.
Struggle, power, rebirth after death, the small, the rare made miraculous.

planet-comparisonWhopper SUN !  Cool, yah ?

Contacts between personal planets (below) explain how you get along on a daily basis, they move quickly and are felt close to home. (An abbreviated list follows)
Sun – ego, expression
Moon – feelings, family
Mercury – thoughts, speech
Venus – love, harmony
Mars – desires, drives

Jupiter and Saturn are social planets, they move slowly, are felt widely, for longer periods, as we explore outside of our family and move around into our neighborhood.
Jupiter – philosophy, travel
Saturn – work, status

Saturn in Scorpio since October 2012 (until late December this year).
Jupiter in Cancer since June of last year (until mid- July this year).

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are generational planets, move slowest of all, are felt as we explore our awareness globally.
Uranus – global collective mind
Neptune – global collective heart
Pluto – global collective soul

::::::::::::::::
Conjunctions
Sun to Sun is positive for both egos

Sun to Moon is positive for sun person’s ego & positive for moon person’s feelings
Yin (female) Moon to Yang (male) Sun is best, but both contacts are still very personal, positive and strong.

Jupiter to Saturn is positive for restrictive Saturn, but less so for expansive Jupiter, Jupiter plays and Saturn works – socially, Saturn opens up and Jupiter slows down.
Of course what sign and house they land in tells more of the tale.

planets EloahMy former husband and I had this social conjunction.
My Saturn bang on his Jupiter in Aries – we travelled far and wide on tour, his paycheck was easily twice mine – obviously beneficial to my Saturnian restriction (3rd Placidius, 4 whole).  I thought he worked too much (6th), partied too much, was far too reckless – I even thought he was gonna OD right in front of me once.  Not fun.  He eventually grew out of it, after we hit the skids…teenage Aries stuff takes awhile I guess. FYI: Just in case you are wondering, I partied plenty – I’m no angel by a long shot.
The 45 minute commute he had was definitely a strain, and my career in the arts could not be had where he wanted to go. Also we had some weird stuff with time and travel, though I will not go into it here.

Note: I am not suggesting if you have this natal contact you will experience the same.  Every chart, every relationship is different – alchemical blends are infinite in number.

Power of Three

The Power of Three.
Full Moon in Sagittarius speeds arrows of enlightenment via communications, astute observations – both mental & emotional to house centaur.  

Moon reaches trine to Uranus prior to full lunation – passionate emotional inspirations incoming – self awareness in spades.  

Mars is driving into both a square to Pluto and an opposition with Uranus – internal growth forces creative new directions through USING your past as a grinding stone.  

KNOW who YOU are ?  

Mars delineates self via relationships in Libra – while Aries Uranus won’t take the bit.  Fun times !

Venus opposing Saturn Rx sets up a fixed resolution between wants & desires re: love, money, artistic and relationship realms.  Power sharing will be shed or stabilize in tandem with this lunation.

Are you going on the next leg of the tour ?  

Soon we shall SEE….

Peace GMA

Neptune Retrograde in the sign she rules will shift the emotional seas, bring fog, connection and transcendence via spiritual matters to fruition – especially for those with early planetary placements in Pisces/Gemini/Sagittarius/Virgo near 7 degrees +/- 5 via hard aspects & friction.
Early placements in Cancer & Scorpio feel a shift delivering more harmony, co-operation.

Neptune shifts energy in trine to Scorpio Moon, Cancer Mercury also in flux having moved Rx two days prior.  Merc Rx here.
Compassion with others, self is called for as well as a healthy dose of patience for all things mechanical, timely or methodical.

Go with the flow.

Venus at 13 degrees Taurus loosely opposes Moon, also Saturn Rx in Scorpio – emotional matters come to a head, turn on a dime, particularly with Jupiter exalted in family-driven Cancer.
Normally circumspect water signs are offset by an incoming Full Moon at 22 Sagittarius (June 12), so info will be forthcoming, count on it both to and from the house of centaur.

Sagittarians, how I love them ! – for they will say what everyone else is thinking but will not say.  Forthright and honest to the point of being blunt, they explore everything and share their knowledge widely.

What will Neptunian energies turning inward deliver you the next few months…?

:::::::::: Read Sun sign + Rising :::::::::::

Aries – spiritual insights, re-boot of beliefs, inclusiveness

Taurus – hermit vision quests, knowing unique place in universe

Gemini – use glamour & polish up career goals, image

Cancer – philosophy takes a mystical, wholistic turn

Leo – parting the veil, the mysteries, focused intensity

Virgo – glamorous partnerships, artistic, spiritual harmony

Libra – render daily life more magickal, spiritual cleanse

Scorpio – creation vibration, make art & love – transcend via music

Sagittarius – visualize inspirational changes close to home, see it then be it

Capricorn – brainstorm more inclusive biz connections, communications

Aquarius – tweak altitude of compassion, the more you give, the more you have

Pisces – intuition opens new avenues of self: expression, reliance and release

Ps. Love how after I named this post, my computer hiccuped, blooped and everything shifted into ONELONGPARAGRAPH.  I did not lose my writing, so YaY !
Happy Retrogrades all, back with more asap, very busy in my yard at the mo.

NepTuning the Quads

photo 54Vibrational Energy Oracle

Those who frequent GMA know Neptune is a big player in my natal – even those two not directly involved with Neptune are involved with my 12th house sign, Sagittarius.   Like all planets/placements – working high qi it’s a blessing; low, a curse.

Neptune is  F  A  R     O   U   T
Hiccup here.
Most of us will experience Neptune transiting in (roughly) only one half of our chart, those who live to over 100, Neptune will transit through roughly seven signs.  These quadrants are where we will experience focused Neptune experience.

I will obviously be writing more later, on the quads and Neptune – this a quickie lunchtime post + food for thought.

The cards chosen are pointing towards each quadrant.

SE: houses 10,11,12 – first card above

As Above, So Below
Whatever is in heaven is also on Earth – Perceptions, interactions and a foot in each world – Beliefs.

SW: 9, 8, 7 – second card
photo 55Knowing – Instincts attuned to the world around us – seeing, listening, receiving messages on all channels and acting upon them – Guided.

NW: 6, 5, 4 – third card
photo 57
Hopeless Release  Perception of hopelessness, to everything a purpose, a season.  Release without despair – Balance.

NE: 3, 2, 1 – fourth card

photo 56
Abundant Blessings – Sowing what you have paid forward, be open to receive blessings with gratitude – Reaping.

Mercury in Cancer uses an emotional approach to thinking, how thoughts feel is equally as important as cool reason and logic.  This Mercury is intuitive, sensitive, an expert at detecting subliminal emotional undertones in seemingly benign conversation.  They know what you are NOT saying.

Mercury in Cancer has an uncanny talent for influencing people, their power to sway the public is due to the lunar influence.  Conversely, this is a Mercury easily swayed by emotional sympathies.

Refer to natal moon phase; obviously note moon phase by transit to work this natural instinctive ability in your favor.

Mercury in Cancer has feelers out 24/7 testing concepts and ideas brought forth via emotional intelligence, they learn by watching, feeling the situation.
Cancer is a sign that cares and nurtures – thoughts are no different.  If ideas set off good emo radar, they are more likely to stick; irritating ideas are quickly jettisoned for the same reason.

Logic tends to takes a backseat unless this tendency to emotional investment is recognized – especially re: matters close to home.
