Beautiful image, yes ?
Perfect aerodynamics, concentration and what a fantastic angle for the black mask.  Click the link above for much more photography for Neptunian folks. 

Animal intuitive spoke to me tonight to usher in transiting Mercury (pets, small animals) nearly on Venus in Aquarius (birds, flight).  First thing – a flock of birds surrounds me.
Not entirely surprising as I am a Sun conjunct Uranus (rules Aquarius) girl.  I like birds, just posted a cool porcelain artist over on my tumblr an hour or so before the call.

Cardinals were the most vocal messengers of all the flock.
Cardinal totem: They don’t migrate, 12 month season, tap it anytime.  Red. (more below)  They whistle, sing – listen.  A mated pair shares song phrases, but the female may sing a longer and slightly more complex song than the male – working together. In spring and summer, both males and females are fiercely territorial and will aggressively protect what is theirs.  More here.

Fixed signs: Taurus (2nd), Leo (5th), Scorpio (8th), Aquarius (11th)
These houses/signs are fixed aka steadfast, but tough aspects to/from means inner conflict ingrained…deeply ingrained.  One might say aggressively protective.
More here.

These birds are named for the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, with their bright red robes.  I did not know that, odd/funny though that my Virgo Sun/Uranus/Pluto lives in 9th house of religion.  I’m not catholic, but very happy with the new Pope, Francis (named after Saint Francis Assisi patron of animals, including birds, and ecology) going all environmentally active.

Marc_Chagall027Would you find it interesting that when my reading began I was also holding a Chagall card (Night of Venice) that a friend sent me ?  Messages.  Zinging !

More incoming ~>  Earlier today I posted (here) a crop circle card for healing.  It did not come with a book, just instructions to meditate, infuse H20 with the frequency of the card…not much beyond the link I provided in that post (under the card).
Perhaps you saw it…mulled it over…?  Wondered what it meant ?
I did.

I of course, being naturally curious with plenty of Uranus (and Leo !) energy…was not satisfied, I wanted more.  I went looking…good thing I am a crack detective – it was worth it, so I share it here with you.

Crop Circle Longwood Warren HampshireThis crop circle I posted earlier today is (well obviously) a Solar system glyph, from Longwood Warren, Hampshire, 22 June 1995. It depicts the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the Earth’s, Mars, and Jupiter’s orbit. (The super cool more precise bit…?)

According to Gerald Hawkins, it shows a planetary alignment that occurred on 6 November 1903, the day the Wright brothers proved that man could fly, and again on 11 July 1971, during Mariner 9’s journey to Mars.  More here.

Incidentally, Mars rules Red.  What is red ?   See Color and Chakras.

[Edit: 11.6.1903: Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Virgo, Jupiter in Pisces
7.11.1971: Mercury in Leo, Venus in Cancer, Jupiter in Scorpio ]

My reader was telling me via a flock of cardinals that I need to f l y.  I was also flat out told I have (figuratively) one foot nailed to the floor.  Ha  Exactly one to be precise.
Fixed Neptune (feet) squares from Scorpio 11th to Leo 8th & an opposition to Moon in Taurus.  A reluctance to surrender … stubborn… yeah it’s an issue.  I’m fixing it !

I laughed at how perfectly on pointe, then found this crop circle flight ref just a little too good not to share.

I’ll leave this post with a message straight from cardinal himself.

May we all find our wings and fly free…

Seeing Stars

jennifer-jason-leighJennifer Jason-Leigh

Incredible actress.
I watched eXsistenZ again recently after gamergate exploded.  I love that dark little gem, and who can ever forget her scenes in Shortcuts ?  I won’t ruin it for you if you haven’t seen it (click the link) but it is NSFW and it’s Altman, so plan on 3 hours.

Jennifer was absolutely fantastic as Dorothy Parker and she doesn’t shy away from playing really intense screwed up people, see Bastard Out of Carolina, The Anniversary Party for starters.
Something made me think of her last night and I thought she probably has a very interesting chart, she is so riveting onscreen.  Was I ever right !
Jennifer has one of those natal charts that amaze, like Bruce Lee and Nostradamus.

Jennifer Jason Leigh natalWe have an incredible amount of intellectual Aquarius happening !
Soaring idealism, craving for fresh experiences, communicating extraordinary socially conscious visionary realms – all shown in her packed 9th house of philosophies.  Very passionate thinker/communicator who teaches through film.  Amazing.  Now I see how/why she nailed Dorothy Parker so brilliantly.

Venus bang on Jupiter and Mars bang on Saturn in addition to Aquarius Moon conjunct MC opposite Uranus conjunct IC is mesmerizing.  Moon at MC is in the public eye for work, Uranus at culmination degree of Leo at IC leads a private life, but for the screen she will rise brilliantly to the occasion.  Conjunctions are power operating, and Venus on Jupiter is sexy, but eccentric in Aquarius – the intellectual needs fed first.  Mars on Saturn (with the former conjunction in mind) is the macho femme fatale – the tough girl, smart and sassy, works hard/plays hard.

Gemini rising with Mercury (ruler) combust Sun in that powerful stellium with Moon elevated is tricky – at once flirty and nimble but also very strong-willed, focused in purpose and aspirations.  Leo North Node opposite Venus/Jupiter delivers immediate awareness of the art form, a hold-over from the past, an innate knowing boosted by a plethora of Aquarius.  Aquarian motto: I know.

She seems drawn to uncovering the raw humanity inside us all, urging us to see what we don’t want to see.  We have to look at it, know it, in order to change it.  This is a product of Chiron, the wounded healer, elevated in Pisces 10.  Using the work to heal.

Not a bit surprised by bitch goddess Lilith conjunct Pluto, either.  Lilith, she who would not be tamed or an any way subservient to man or god.  She is of course sextile Neptune (aka film) which is in hard aspect to Jennifer’s entire Aquarius stellium by transference of light.  Here lies the friction which has driven her success.  Scorpios and Aquarians are amazingly resilient for fixed signs.

satan on my heel

tumblr_mino1shqMo1qg4blro1_500Achilles, the demigod (half god, half human), son of Nereid (sea nymph) Thesis, and Peleus, the king of Myrmidons – was the greatest warrior of the army of Agamemnon in the Trojan War.  Achilles is most known for the Battle of Troy, where he slayed Hector, the eldest son of Kim Priam of Troy.

The demigod was defeated by Hector’s brother, Paris, when an arrow guided by the Sun God Apollo impaled Achilles in his only weak spot – his heel.

achillesWhen a child, Achilles’ mother, Thetis, dipped him in the waters of the River Styx, by which he became invulnerable, except for the part of his heel by which she held himthe proverbial “Achilles’ heel.”

Achilles-1The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone – together these muscles produce a foot action that is basic to walking, running, and jumping.
The Achilles tendon is the thickest and most powerful tendon in the body.
If the tendon is cut, use of the leg for running or jumping is lost.

This I have discovered, is where I have more, extra special, Saturn (satan?!) growth.  My pixies are pitching sands and pebbles instead of fairy dust & glitter. haa  Saturn Rx transit on natal Neptune in 11th (natural house of Aquarius – ankles) and I can barely walk by the end of the day due to bone spurs jangling my tendon as I walk, so I looked up the astro.

Asteroid Achilles is 588
Asteroid Achilles is the
Secret Weak Spot in your natal chart.
Planets & points with Achilles contacts – practice caution, be guarded with that energy.
Note what planet rules the sign Achilles is in; as well as what that planet aspects.
Also note how the asteroid, planets and sign aspect Sun (Apollo) which may illuminate Achilles, reveal the Secret.

Currently: Achilles Rx at 10 Libra putting it squarely in the Cardinal Cross – squaring Cancer Jupiter and Capricorn Pluto by degrees – squaring Sun/Uranus in Aries.  Venus is in good aspect to North and South Node; applying semi-square to Sun in Aries.
Cautiously ease friction between intellect, love and actions.

vive la différence

Aquarius.

This house in your natal is where you feel separations, surprises, changes-UPs (and downs) the bizarre, the future / past time slipstream, and it is where you KNOW things without study – balls to bone.
Here you are electric, bohemian, living on the wild side, wishes are granted / denied, it is where you are jolted AWAKE – it is your lightning strike into the global thought collective – it is also where the collective strikes you.
Aquarius house is your vibe, your aura and your intuition – it is where you change the world and where the world changes you.

Follow Uranus by transit and apply the same.

Fair Warning – no trespass against any and all Virgos !

Virgos are born to solve, perfect, and protect.
When a festering boil erupts, it will be rooted.

Resistance is futile.

Mars direct Friday April 13, 2012 at 3 degrees Virgo: 10:53pm, CST, USA

Read: Mars has been jammed up our nostrils since entering the sign of Virgo on November 10th aggravating, initiating & rousing any and all micro – minutiae analyzation in full throttle force.

Mars has been mainlining energy into all Virgo planets via direct motion since November 10th.
Now – planets situated between 23 and 3 degrees of Virgo will be taking a retrograde hit, followed by another direct hit.

Read:  Direct and perfect, retrograde and turn the blade.

Mars is the blade, the power, the energy outgoing while direct.
Virgos prune.  Virgos heal.  They are duty – bound to serve others.

Virgos perfect by nature.

Mars while retrograde, is the blade, the power, turned inward  to re-assess the re-visions already made by the firm and steadfast Virgo intellect.  During Mars retrograde, Virgos will heal themselves.
Any and all work not deemed perfect by the perfectionist within will be revived, re-invigorated and resolved.

Natal planets between 23 and 3 degrees of Virgo will feel this Mars Rx strongly by conjunction.  Pisces planets by opposition, and Gemini and Sagittarius will feel Mars Rx by square.

Monday Jan 23rd : New Moon in Aquarius will bring communication undercurrents, intuitive, zaps and transformative vibes with Mars, Pluto and Sun/Moon/ Mercury activating Uranus – sharp intuitive powers !

Creative solutions will present themselves – be aware the Goddess vibe is strong with Lilith opposite Saturn at the culmination degree of 29 Libra.

Energies will be shifting, do not pick battles with authority – Lillith is square New Moon/Sun and opposite Saturn, and Mars is shifting to Retrograde.

Do not pick fights during Mars retrograde – plot and plan, yes – confront, no.

By evening, Moon passes the tense emotional squares, the atmosphere eases as Mars stations Rx, freeing us to enjoy the fizzy Aquarian Moon.

She who would slay dragons must first learn their habits.

Venus (love) in Pisces (inspiration, devotion) is conjunct Neptune (memory) in Aquarius (the awakener).

Mercury (words) is trine Jupiter (optimism, faith, charity) in Venus -ruled earth sign Taurus (self-worth).

Mercury (thoughts) are quintile (gifts and talent from spirit) Saturn in Venus-ruled air sign Libra of harmony.

Venus (love) is trine Saturn (tact, rocks) in Venus – ruled Libra the balancer.

There are  changes and hard aspects in our skies with ourselves & others.
Beware .?
no.

Be aware of LOVE.
yes !

go DEEP


Golden Bough by Jeroen van Valkenburg

Sun (spirit, ego) is rooted in Capricorn, focal point of a T-square involving Saturn (testing,restriction) in the latter degrees of Libra, the balancer, and Jupiter, the expander, is in the early degrees of Taurus.

I balance (Libra) vs. I have (Taurus).

Expand or restrict ? …Or both, most likely – just not the way you expected to.
Be aware both Libra and Taurus are Venus ruled.
Venus is love art, money and yes…women.

I had a great night with a girlfriend watching Game of Thrones and talking art and business.  We are both finishers…by that I mean the work is full bodied – 360 degrees and then some.  She finishes the underneath where most people do not even look, it is a complete effort head to toe.  Her work is fabulous, and she has won many awards and was recently recognized nationally in her field.  YaY !

I described my work as a porterhouse steak.  Plenty of facts and meat to dig into if you choose to look and click the links I provide.  I am 9th house heavy (visionary) in the sign of Virgo (details).  Neptune touches nearly everything in my chart, so the writing is mystical, yet grounded with facts to back up the intuitive leaps. Eighth house and Pluto strong, so I go deep, every time.

My friend and I are women artists, (Venus is conjunct Neptune now – both octaves of art) so we spent the evening enriching each other with solid friendship support.  That’s Aquarius at work, the tribe.

The Mercury and Pluto conjunction in the sky in the sign of Capricorn (career and status) made our business/art convo rich, deep and satisfying.   (Mercury is communication, and Pluto rules the depths)

May your transformations bring you the insight you crave and the peace you deserve…

the face of the Earth

As the palms of the hand or placement of moles on the body tell tales of the life of a human, meteorite falls speak the history and future of Gaia.

Chinese face reading is based on the same ancient science as acupuncture, references have been found in texts that date back to 600 B.C.E.  The study is based on the micro/macro universe, meaning each part of the body is a representation of the whole.

The face is broken up into zones of life: hairline is adolescence, forehead 20’s, eyes 30’s, nose 40’s, mouth 50’s, chin 60’s, jaw 70’s, sides of face 80’s & 90’s, bottom of chin 99/100.

The top third portion of the face is the analytical zone, the middle is the practical zone, and the bottom third is the intuitive zone.

The right side of your face is the public side, the left is the private side, what you keep to yourself.

Chinese face reading considers anything that sticks out on the face a sign of good luck.  For instance, most moles are considered good luck, they are extra metal – metal refines, it is inward moving energy, contracting and hardening.  Metal represents the time of late fall and old age.

Any scars on the face have the effect of diminishing the power that feature symbolizes.  For instance a scar on the chin would decrease willpower, a scar on the eyebrow would decrease self – confidence.  (A unibrow signifies an overabundance of pushy wood energy, a tendency towards bossiness, frustration and anger.)

It is interesting to note my Mother and I each have a mole above our eyebrow.  Mine is above my left (private), hers is above her right (public).  She has a chart that is very nearly a grand sextile and she enjoys groups, clubs etc…  I have Neptune (the hidden) most highly aspected, Sun conjunct rebellious Uranus, and I do my own thing.
I. don’t. do. groups. or clubs. or etc.. haha
(The only herd I belong to is its own indescribable chaotic masterpiece.)


Barringer Crater, east of Flagstaff, AZ

Mountains are Yang – masculine, active, outgoing energy.
Day, conscious awareness.

Valleys are Yin – feminine, reactive, introverted energy.
Night, unconscious instinctual awareness.

Barringer Crater (yin) is located in the middle third (practical zone – builders and steady achievers *), on Arizona’s (ground standpoint) left half (privately owned crater), on the right (public or famous) half of the United States.

*Daniel Moreau Barringer’s struggle to prove the impact origin of his crater is an example of the enormous difference that one determined individual can make – even if that individual is a non-scientist working to change the prevailing scientific view. His story tells us about the importance of intuitive leaps, careful data-gathering, stubbornness, and even self-interest in the progress of science.

The native Saguaro cactus are found in the lower third of Arizona, the intuitive (water) zone.  Saguaro can absorb hundreds of gallons of water during a storm, sometimes weighing up to 3 tons.  They are only found in the Sonoran desert (SW Arizona, part of Baja, California).
Arizona means ‘small spring’, the state motto is “Ditat Deus” or, God Enriches, it is largely known for being the Grand Canyon or Copper state.

When considering the ‘scar’ or crater…the meteor fell 50,000 years ago during the last ice age.  Arizona is ruled by Aquarius, the sign traditionally ruled by both Saturn (earth and time) and Uranus (sudden surprises).   Saturn also rules falling and rocks.

In Chinese face reading, the placement of a scar (age zone) will be when the issue or lesson will be re-addressed in the life.  Around 50,000 years ago humans began building more efficient tools, and making art to bury with their dead.  Linguists surmise it may be language that made the leap possible.

Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury (communication), so perhaps when humans start communicating telepathically, via the earth energy grid, we will have learned the lesson of the crater.

The above is a map of US meteorite finds + falls as of July, 2009.
The map below is world-wide falls as of 2000.

Keep in mind that the earth is covered by 70 % water, and many craters are under the sea, only detectable by satellite imaging.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recent worldwide meteorite falls (click here – takes time to load)

Most of the world-wide landmass strikes have been above the Tropic of Cancer, the upper third of the world (analytical).  The falls seem pretty evenly divided on either side of the prime meridian, so that’s a toss up.

One could always read the landfalls like tea leaves…I see a boomerang or maybe a kangaroo with a long tail in Australia.
It could be divination through meteorite ‘constellations’…!
Connect the dots, study and make your myth.
I also find it interesting that Hollyweird is about as right (public, famous) as it gets in the US, and in the lower third (intuitive Neptune/film zone) of California.

So what do you think ? 
What do read in your face and on the face of our earth..?

Listed below are the major 2012 meteor showers visible during the night where the expected Zenith Hourly Rate (ZHR) of meteors will be 10 or more, or where the rate may be variable.

Since more meteors are always seen after midnight, these dates are the best mornings to observe.

Much more geology and meteorite impact info here (click).

Transiting Venus (which is conjunct transiting Neptune) is opposite the degree between my natal Venus/Jupiter conjunction (that square Neptune) in the 8th at the moment…snap !

Divination post !

Neptune is waterfalling all over the place, and Neptune rules divination.
Pluto also rules divination / metaphysics and by transit is square my Saturn (earth), which is my chart ruler.
ta da !  Earth divination !  …enjoy…  & stay tuned, the actor’s chart I am doing next has a connection with this crater !

Lastly, for the record, I don’t think we are going to die from a giant meteor strike, giant comet, giant aliens, etc… I just love science and divination !
