Moon is nearly full and opposite Mercury and Pluto.
I am feeling the weird, for sure. Anxious expectation.
Full Moon Monday 1.9.2012 at 1:30am CST,USA
Moon and Priestess are frequent visitors in recent readings…
AND my Ganesha card was on the floor this evening. Silent potential.
The cosmos tells me obstacles need removing.
… and how are You fine folks ..?
Sun (creativity) is quintile (gifts) odd Uranus. Venus conjunct Neptune the octaves of art in the sign of the strange, Aquarius. Aquarius= Science, Neptune= Fiction
SoOo that’s my cue to head off to watch the winner of the special jury prize at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival. La Planète Sauvage (The Wild Planet) One of the best sci-fi animated movies ever.
How cool is this ?
The photo is from here, a terrific photo-filled post about the sculptural artist Jason deCaires Taylor . (click for artist website)
My biggie Neptune (sea) square Venus (art) in Leo (creativity) reallydigs this !
My Neptune is also opposite Moon, (Neptune= ocean, Moon= tides) so oceanic art is right up my alley ~> Sculptural art placed in the sea and left to age ?! Very cool !
(Saturn rules age and time, and is my chart ruler)
I was a sculpture major in college, so this really speaks to me.
Working and weaving art in tune with Mother Nature.
(Saturn rules work and spiders/weaving webs/ knots.)
Naturalists are Saturn and Neptune ruled. Neptune rules inspired art.
Does Jason’s art inspire you..?
Look to the Neptune in your natal chart to see how you are inspired, and how you inspire others.
Look for conjuntions to indicate where matters are dreamy, foggy, underwater, basically you are operating on pure inspiration and spiritual guidance. (This is also also where you need to be cautious of illusions, and delusions.)
Look for any squares to Neptune to see how you will reach deep within for inspiration.
Look to any oppositions to Neptune to see where others will directly inspire you.
A friend of mine recently asked her girlfriends on fb to list their girl crushes, as she didn’t have any. I couldn’t think of any either – not any recent ones anyway. Chrissie, Joni, and the Wilson sisters..? Well, that’s been going on for years…
Now, usually when it comes to my Venus Jupiter conjunction in Leo (love and heaps of it, especially for the creative arts) square (creative tension) Neptune (music, film and illusion), if you ask me about crushes, I’m gonna ask, “How much time ya got ?!” haha (You can sift through the entries on here for the scruffy dudes if you really want to know.)
Venus square Neptune..? It’s the escape, the other world, the dream life blooming inside my head. I feed my imagination every chance I get. It’s a waking meditation which allows intuitive sparks from my Mars in Sagittarius quintile Uranus to light me up !
Today a friend posted a Zooey Deschanel video, and I remembered: I have already mentioned Emmylou, (click) – she was one of my very first posts) then Patricia, now Zooey. So I guess I have 3 recent girlcrushes, if you can call it that. I like their work, voices, talent, their art. It’s synastry somewhere between us that brings out my curiosity, I will follow their work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As far as the synastry, I peeked and Zooey has Saturn conjunct my Virgo Sun/Uranus/Pluto stellium, all of which is trine her Sun/Moon/Mercury/ Part of Fortune stellium in Capricorn. My Mercury is conjunct her Pluto and her North Node is conjunct my Venus in Leo. My biggie Neptune is sextile her stellium as well. (It just dawned on me…all these women I mentioned have strong Capricorn. hmmm…)
Go and check your synastry with your favorite artists, see where you end up, it’s fun !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zooey has loads of Mystical Sea Goat all conjunct her Capricorn Ascendant. Zooey is a triple Capricorn.
Sun, Part of Fortune in 1st, Mercury spot on Ascendant, and Moon in 12th – all within 6 degrees. (click here for another triple capricorn)
Planets conjunct the angles are stronger, and with both the luminaries conjunct her Ascendant, Zooey has presence !
Zooey has Venus exalted in Pisces quintile (genius talents- gifts of spirit) Neptune in Sagittarius !
These are the planets of the arts, and any aspect between them denotes an artist. Venus, is the earthbound cultivated artist and personal love. Neptune is the inspired artist, being in tune with the universe, cosmic love. Zooey’s Venus and Neptune are both in visionary signs : I see (Sagittarius), I believe (Pisces).
Her Capricorn stellium at the Ascendant is trine Saturn in Virgo. Moon and Mercury are also trine Mars in Virgo (which is conjunct Jupiter). Fair to say she is most likely a very hard worker, and organized with all that Virgo.
Uranus is at the Scorpio Midheaven in 10th showing the public she is a bit quirky and inventive with her talents, needs to switch it up a bit in career. She is multi-talented and takes on many different projects – movies, music and she recently launched a website HelloGiggles (click).
North Node of Destiny at 29 degrees of Leo is a culmination degree in the sign of creativity. Pluto in (Venus-ruled) Libra 9th, square Sun, Moon and Mercury, and Zooey is a powerhouse communicator through her artwork.
One of the things I love about astrology is how it explains so much about people.
Astrology explains who and what, even how you like.
For instance Neptune is my most highly aspected planet and it rules the sea.
I should be an ocean gal, then right..?! No.
Mountain girl all the way !
Why is that..?
My Neptune has squares (conflict), while my chart ruler, Saturn (Saturn is Earth, rules Capricorn my Ascendant, is the mountain goat) has a trine (ease) to Mars. That feels better.
Look to your chart, you will find yourself naturally going for the trines and sextiles every time. They are the back door, the trapdoor, and the secret passage out of trouble with squares and oppositions in your chart.
Here is a pic of stuff I had gathered pre-astro knowledge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have Saturn trine Mars (steel, fire & the forge).
Sun conjunct the morphed metal is my Virgo Sun conjunct Uranus Pluto (heat, change, morph, forge) in the 9th (lucky horseshoe).I have Libra at Midheaven (ruled by Venus, art), hence balance sculpture/art. My Venus (art, friends) is conjunct Jupiter in Leo (creativity, luck).
I am an artist, and have creative friends, I like cats.
I have a ‘thing’ about naming things. Mercury (names) at MC, with Neptune (fictitious names) most highly aspected.
I have changed my name to something mystical – representing polarities, time and union.
My cats have names that mean ‘friend’.
Neptune is my most highly aspected planet and it rules film & photography.
Look to your chart to see what you like written in the symbols of the skies … namaste~ gneissmoonastrology.net
Venus (love, art) is cozing right up onto Pluto’s (sex, morph) lap in Capricorn (earth, clay !) & they are in a grand earth trine with Jupiter (it ahem, expands) in sensual Taurus, and Mars (desire) is in Virgo (the Virgin ha, yeah right !) and ummm, earthy signs, are well… e a r t h y
Aquarian fantasy artist Frank Frazetta (solar chart) had Venus closely conjunct Mars in Capricorn, both opposite Pluto, and square Moon. His Sun and Mercury were opposite Neptune. Moon was opposite a Uranus Jupiter conjunction in Aries.
Whoa.
It appears he made the most of one Mercury Pluto trine, and one Sun Saturn sextile.
Then we dig deeper and of course, find much, much more.
Sun (spirit) is trine North Node of Destiny (trailblazing path in the life) and quintile (spiritual gifts) Chiron (the philosopher and the quest). Moon is quintile Saturn – building a legacy for the public.
Jupiter and Neptune are quintile North Node of Destiny, and Pluto is quintile Chiron – visionary fantasy art on a grand scale that transformed the comic genre forever.
That Venus Mars conjunction in Capricorn gave him exceptional technical skill, and the Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Aries -obviously – look at the powerof the human figure in his drawings.
Click here for a wonderful video tribute to Frank and his work.
