Honestly, shit like this blows. my. mind.
How this cruelty is found acceptable on any level is beyond me.
Finding this sicko trend stylish is far more than my Virgo brain can fathom.
PETA
Petition

Capricorn (restriction) Sun (oxygen) while Moon in Virgo opposes Neptune (spiritual intelligence) and Chiron (deep wound) in Pisces.  Signaling a rant re: small animals (Virgo) and my feelings (Moon) about their cruel treatment in the name of some dumbass fashion (Venus Rx) trend.

Cardinal square above us prompts action via others and a driving need to change, force growth in yourself.
Aries & Libra axis : self vs. relationships
Cancer & Capricorn : nurturing vs. using

Internal tension rests upon philosophies of nurturing, actions powered up to find balance (with a heavy dose of pass-agg possible) via complete transformation of old structures into new ways of thinking, adapting, SEEing.

Hey, I am on my Sag soapbox, as usual, I know – I don’t think any of you, my readers abuse animals.   I am simply freaked out and asking you to share so we can stop this cruelty.  I am keenly aware that animals have intelligence, feelings, and are deserving of kindness and respect – as well as the right to live.  Red List
Hands up – ! – who loves Sonya the Pet Psychic from Animal Planet ?  I would get up early to watch it before work.  Trust me, this is unheard of – I am not a morning girl.
  
I have hundreds of stories, but will give you only two.
1 My late gecko, Buzz was used to getting large crickets.  One day the cricket truck didn’t arrive, I had to get smaller crickets to tide him over a bit.  When I tossed them in, he peered down at them . . . slowly turned his head to look me right in the eyes –  wtf  ?! these are no see-ums – ya gotta be kidding me !  When Buzz was dying, my girl cat sat in vigil with him all day – in a spot she hadn’t rested before, or ever after that day.
2 The first time my new cat walked past a door with skins hanging from it, he looked up, saw them and froze – paw dangling in midair – gobsmacked with apprehension. Oh shit, I’m in for it.  I grabbed him and explained they were given, I did not kill them, he was safe.  All was then well, he understood me.  I have hundreds of stories similar to these.

The way out from these tense oppositions and squares is in Virgo Moon moving to trine Pluto in Capricorn (sharing feelings about what the world really needs to change) as well as Jupiter Rx in Cancer trine Saturn in Scorpio (philosophy of ethical power over and with and towards all earthkind.)

These aspects in tandem means we WORK to MAKE it HAPPEN.

Seems I won’t ever tire of strange feet pics/posts, eh ?  Weird foot pics is de rigueur, Aqua on Venus ruled 2nd, Venus square Neptuner in 11th.  My tastes in art runs the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous.

I have been working more at my day job, wacky hours, less posting and now my lingering foot issue has worsened.  Neptune rules feet; Aquarius, ankles.

I am having an issue with my right ankle and it shows in my transits:
T. Saturn on biggie Neptuner in Scorp 11
T Neptuner square natal Mars in Sag. T.
Uranus direct applying square to Prog Mars in Capricorn in 11.
Prog Moon in Aqu square Mercury in Scorp.

feet mugs 009Artist unknown near Louisville, KY ? – bought in record store years ago.

Here is where it gets frustrating – Neptune loves to play hide and seek.

Neptuner in hard aspect is a test between delusion, illusion – – healing, transcending via healing arts.  Health wise, Neptooney makes misdiagnoses and hard to pinpoint symptoms/cures very likely.  (I have already had weird migrating foot pains this year – very odd – I reiki, they wander.) 

My natal Neptune is under (hard) square (in fixed signs) indicating not only stress, but also that I am facing something I avoided in a past life.  I know there is much I am still processing from this life as well. 

Psychosomatic: emotional and mental stress manifesting in the body.
In every chart, there is always a way out of difficulty, both in the natal and by transit.

In my natal I have plenty of Plutonic energy to shapeshift.
Currently T. Uranus is trine my natal Mars in Sagittarius by the backdoor. 

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

I am off to do some shamanic work, rogue reiki, sound healing, etc….
If I am not posting as much, you know why. 
I am off to sculpt my emotional, mental, physical, spiritual healing across all dimensions of space and time via Plutonic energy.

Look to Scorpio & Pluto in your natal for where you can shift your metamorphosis into high gear.

Sun into Capricorn
Venus Rx 29 Capricorn

Friday January 31, 2014
Venus Direct 13 Capricorn

Venus retrograde is a prime time to look over finances, career goals, ambitions and accomplishments with an eye towards streamlining and improvement. 
How are you using your materials to build firm foundations ?

Action plans will be tweaked, partnerships balanced, attitudes will change altitudes, all in order to become more efficient, streamlined.  
Classic.  
No fuss, no frills.
Built to Last.
Venus retrograde in Capricorn cuts to the difficult chase straightaway in order to patiently start re-building from the ground up.

 Venus Capricorn is practical – set finances and faulty relationships into order, cut the fat, get serious.   Who holds your reins, you or an overlord ?  

Right the balance.      Be true to yourself.  Be kind to your body.

photo 11Quickie read for what we (globally) need to be aware of with this retrograde.

III – The Great Mother: Venus in Capricorn opposes/compromises with mother energy from Cancer across the wheel.  
How do you mother and nurture ?  Are you putting yourself in the nurturing equation as well ?  What do others demand of you,  are they restricting your emotional freedom ?
What is your relationship with Gaia ?  Are you good to her, treat her water well..?

Spirit: XI: Creative Power: Sun enters Capricorn for this transit, leading two benefics to navel gaze on our past roots – especially re: love, $$, career goals, peace of mind.

Are we wisely using what we have to create our lives in harmony ?  
Venus retrograde will lead us to reflect, reason and revise.

Start at your knees (Capricorn rules), bend and let the universe work with you for greatest results.  Venus attracts, while in retrograde – she attracts the old past so we can sift through it for what we can still USE.

In Peace

Dream Oracle Cards

Intent: High qi expression of Cancer Moon moving to trine Neptune, Chiron, best outcome for all.

1 Cancer Moon – Flood – Express the ocean of your emotion
2 Pisces Neptune – Fire – Take responsibility for your power 
3 Pisces Chiron – Doctor – Heal thyself.

Seems self-explanatory, yes ?
Card of Neptune Fire begins to make sense when we consider it is quincunx to our planet of expressing firepower, Mars.  Mars drives the whole natal chart forward.
The quincunx aspect forces change in altitude, habits, character between these energies.

Find your houses of Pisces, and Libra – make adjustments here.
Also find Mars and Neptune – make adjustments here.

Please note Neptune (spiritual love) is the higher octave of Venus (personal love) which rules Libra where Mars is having an extra long stay.

Contemplate this power of love, sensitivity and strength.
Own your power, your space, your actions.  
In stillness – effort is streamlined, swift, precise.

Please note Venus is nearing retrograde at which time she will navel gaze and reflect.

::::: Planet of awakening delivers oddball event :::::

Anticipating chaos, March 2012 Virgo Sun/Uranus/Pluto girl prepares for Mars/Uranus transit over natal chart ruler, Saturn Rx in Aries 3rd (which trines Sag Mars in 11).

Prepared for anything, I met my challenger face to face in the ring.

Had my olde Dodge Black Beauty greased, gassed, tweaked and balanced.
(Was sure transit would break BB down.)
Told all my siblings to be careful with blades, cars.
Was extra kind to my neighbors, boss.
Kept silent rather than provoke any arguments.
Wouldn’t go near my 6ft hedge with electric trimmers, let alone on top of the ladder.

Did my preparations help avoid disaster . . . ? 
no.
Later, I heard someone in my family (younger, Mercury) got picked up by the cops, hauled out of state (my Mars in Sagittarius) due to a misunderstanding that was resolved quickly.  (My 3rd house Saturn trines Mars; beneficial)
Other aspects / transits in family charts also confirmed the positive energy outcome.

So tonight I could have obsessed over what will happen with freaky deaky Uranus stationing direct on my ruler, tweak my brain silly preparing for escape routes, but instead, I am very busy with work – so I let the cards here (in my lunchtime read) tell me what I could not see re: Uranus direct.
Ishtar, Venus, Mistress of Horses.
Venus behind the wheel.  Travel with advantage.

Yep. !
Lemme explain.
Swamped at work, seeing 5:55 on my way out the door was my first clue.
Ground snow, temps rose and we had Frogitty frog     F    O     G      on my way home.
Three errands, then home – Thirteen + years I have driven this road, I haven’t missed my exit.
Until tonight.

I. missed. 60. B. ? ! 
oh ffs

Resigned to driving 14 miles outta my way, I grumble to the next dark ramp, exit into quiet, sleepy Pohdunk Central (corner of no +  where), gleefully turn for home (so I can finally, finally whiz) and am promptly greeted by: 

partys overOh look !   Party lights !

Joy ahem. I am given a lovely surprise (Gemini Full MoOoOon) paper document (Saturn in 3) that tells me I have a fine (There is the Ishtar Venus $$ connection) for failure to STOP and need to greet my betters with offerings, pledges to do & be better, signed in triplicate.

Be better.  I swears it.
Yes.

Travel to my advantage (cards) = a non-moving violation.
Honestly, that Jupiter /Sag energy is good for my Mars.
That was a sweet Ishtar gift, thank you.

December 17
Full Moon Gemini 25 degrees  3:28am CST, USA
Uranus Direct 8 degrees Aries 11:40pm

Uranus direct delivers tension to all action oriented Cardinal signs 8 degrees +/- 5.

Libra is thrown into direct opposition or juggling energies with another.
Cancer and Capricorn feel the need to metamorphose themselves, inner struggles surface.  Home, work, family.

Opportunities are in the houses of Gemini and Aquarius – see where they land in your chart.  Flexibility, perspective shifts, genius invention, human connections.

Harmony is found in houses of fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius  Creativity, inspiration, GO !

::::::::::::::::::::::
Cards above, intent: clarity of purpose, straight to the point.  
What are we unable to see ?

Aakhut: Family of Fire: Asthoreth, Mistress of Horses
Also identified as Ishtar, the Goddess of love and beauty.
She controls four horses, or four elements.  She is a 7, capable of funneling spirit into the material world.  She directs the creative fire as she wills.
Mistress of Horses is conquering one’s enemies, sensual pleasure exalted, transformed into spiritual joy.  Travel for one’s advantage.

Spirit Crux
Duat: Family of Duat: Apep (Duat = what is below) Great Snake, Great Enemy
Darkest hours of the night, or spiritual darkness and horror that precedes illumination of sun or enlightenment.  This card signals overcoming oppression, the surfacing of unconscious fears and memories that must be confronted.

Peace

Curse of Capricorn Rising with Aries Saturn Rx in 3rd.
Self-doubt.
Uranus direct on said Saturn; Mars in Libra opposite.

My query . . .
Am I as good an astrologer as I think I am ?
Yes.
Stop all your worrying.
Relax.

Don’t misunderstand, I know there is plenty of room for improvement, I have so many books in my studio I want to pour over NOW, but I must work.
It has taken me a coon’s age (nearly one thousand posts) to find my sea legs, and I am still working out my backdoor Mars biz.  (In addition to some whammy fixed squares from the 8th.) 

I have realized what I enjoy – consequently do best – is popping theory, making connections, seeing sides, weaving a tapestry aka Mercurious Alchemy.
I love having fun with astrology and divination of all kinds.
I also love deep six psychological excavation. 

This post is for all those struggling to carve out their own path.
Just Keep Going – your path is Yours Alone.

It amuses me how the draw above is so obviously multi-faceted.
Saturnian worry meets Mars Q Uranus in 9. (My Saturn trines Mars)
Deep psychological astro meets the ridiculous. *
Complexity hidden in the Singular.
I am a teacher. (3)
Fascinating.
