mines in the making

If you keep seeking the jewel of understanding, then you are a mine of understanding in the making.
If you live to reach the Essence one day, then your life itself is an expression of the Essence.
Know that in the final analysis you are that which you search for.

Copper Capricorn


Meet Copper Capricorn – my Pluto transit mojo pendant.

Pluto by transit is square my chart ruler, Saturn Rx.
I call pendant dude Copper Capricorn because I bought him from an artist in Jerome, Arizona (click).  

Jerome is an old copper mining town established in 1883 that sits on the side of Cleopatra hill in the Verde Valley.  Jerome housed the workers in the nearby United Verde Mine, which was to produce over 1 billion dollars in copper, gold and silver over the next 70 years.  Jerome was a notorious wild west town, a hotbed of prostitution, gambling, and vice. In 1903, the New York Sun proclaimed Jerome to be “the wickedest town in the West”.

My pendant fits the aspect.

Pluto = cesspools of sin, mines and sex.
Saturn = rocks and ore taken from the earth.

Copper is Venus ruled.  Art ! 

The little blue botryoidal (greek for resembling grapes) stone is Azurite, a copper carbonate mineral.  It is a monoclinic crystal, though it is often found in botryoidal forms. Azurite is a stone of the Ajna, the third eye.  It vibrates with the energy of intuition, understanding, imagination and the sixth sense.  It can help facilitate dreaming and a clear, logical mind.

The green stones are Malachite, also a copper carbonate.  Malachite resonates with the Anahata, or heart chakra.  It vibrates with compassion, emotional balance, hope and love.  Malachite emanates a vibration of love (Venus) throughout the energy body, making it an excellent protection stone from negative energies.  Malachite resonates to the Yang polarity of coppers electrical conductivity, enabling it to work as an active ‘fire’ stone – it will help draw impurities out of the body and stimulate energy flow.

Malachite, being about 58 % copper, (Venus ruled, hence balance) is particularly helpful for left-right brain imbalances.  If you live or work near nuclear energy, malachite is said to help with over intoxication, radiation induced illnesses and it will draw out and expel the toxins from the body.  Malachite also promotes cellular regeneration, and increases capillary function and can help reduce swelling.


Copper itself is the metal of channeling energies, it is the metal of the magician.  Copper, when used with stones, enhances the conduit between stone and human energies.  It assists, manifests energetic alignment between earth, stone and human.

Copper bracelets (often worn for arthritis) open the blocked energy flow in the body which helps alleviate arthritic pain.

Copper is a conduit, a conductor, an enhancer. 

Here is the science:  Electricity is the flow of electrons moving from one atom to the next.  Copper is very dense, the atoms are compact, allowing this moving exchange of electricity to happen quickly, easily.

Malachite is also said to enhance luck.

Keep this in mind as Venus comes closer to an exact conjunction with Jupiter.
Venus (love, $$, women, copper) and Jupiter (luck, expansion, wisdom) are beneficial, and they are opposite (in compromise with) Saturn (bones, work, discipline).

Try wearing malachite for luck and / or relief of arthritis or infection and see how it works for you.

Deja Vu

I have been aware of David Wilcock for years, through Coast-to-Coast radio and information and interviews there.  I have watched many YouTube videos, read parts of his website Divine Cosmos.
I am now reading his book, The Source Field Investigations.  David has spent years investigating and compiling scientific proof of connections between life forms through the energetic ‘source field’ or unified field theory.

A bit of history : Albert Einstein coined the term “Unified Field Theory,” which describes any attempt to unify the fundamental forces of physics between elementary particles into a single theoretical framework.

Scientists such as Rupert Sheldrake are delving into, and expanding upon similar scientific work today. The topic of morphic resonance (Sheldrakes work) is covered in David’s compilation of researched material, as well as some fascinating studies on human interaction with plants, crop circles, UFO’s and remote viewing.  It is definitely worth a read simply because David has gathered loads of spiritual scientific studies all in one book.

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

Reportedly David may be the re-incarnation of Edgar Cayce.  I do not support nor deny this claim – you can make up your own mind.  I am a disseminating moon – just tossing out the info – that’s what I do.  Other astrologers have compared the two charts and you can read my interpretation of Edgars natal here.

So now for David and his natal chart.

David is a life path 4.  He is here to employ logic and reason in order to build solid foundations, establish structure and achieve results on the physical plane.

This is further indicated by Mars exalted in Earth, trine Moon, also exalted in earth.
This indicates detailed, long-term, meticulous building for the public good.  Moon in 6th (natural ruler of the 6th, is Virgo the public servant).

Mars exalted conjunct North Node of Destiny in Capricorn, both of which are trine Moon (public).  His work is to be heard by and benefit, many people.

David is a Pisces Sun, Venus (Venus is exalted in Pisces) and Mercury.
This indicates sensitivity, also indicated by Moon in Taurus, exalted.
Pluto is elevated (10th), as well as Uranus and Saturn (above the horizon) – he is here to transform, and make changes through his work, otherwise, he is fairly private.

Venus is the focal point of his T-Square with Saturn and Neptune opposite each other.  Working globally for universal love and compassion will likely be his strength rather than working for it on a personal basis.  Venus is personal love – square work and mysticism – Saturn in Gemini 7th, indicates work relationships and often 2 or more jobs. He is a busy fellow, who likes work and study.

Chart ruler, Pluto in Libra 10 conjunct Part of Fortune he is a catalyst for change, particularly focusing on communication with others.  Mercury is quintile North Node of Destiny – Jupiter the planet of exploration and expansion (traditional ruler of Pisces) is in Aquarius (the revolutionary) quintile Ascendant and Chiron – healing on a vast scale through transforming the way people think and communicate with one another.

Saturn in Gemini again, gives depth and structure to communication – David invites us to open our minds and heal ourselves through using the creative will of our own actions (Neptune trine Chiron).  He is a leader in the spiritual realm – seeking enlightenment, and compassionate inclusiveness between all beings.

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

Well, now that I have read Davids chart, I am seeing the possibilities of the past life connections with Edgar.  Edgar had Mars and Jupiter conjunct in Capricorn – he basically did so many one-on-one energy draining readings, he worked himself to death.

In Davids chart, Pluto trine Jupiter indicates transformation on a large scale (rather than on an individual basis).  He gets a lot of criticism (Pluto opposite Mercury) because he’s shaking the tree, making people think (Mercury sextile Jupiter in 3rd).

Saturn trine Uranus in the 11th of Libra, he is communicating options – a way of revolutionizing the way we (earthkind) express and view love for each other and the earth (Venus sextile Moon exalted in earthy Taurus, Venus rules Libra) and he delivers the science (Uranus trine Saturn) to back it up.

Mars exalted in Earth trine Moon, also exalted in earth –  detailed, long-term, meticulous building for the public good.  Moon in 6th (natural ruler of the 6th, is Virgo the public servant).

Now that I have read both charts, I think David may be Edgar, back for another round…if so, he’s certainly here to work in communications large scale and reach a larger audience this time around.
I am also off to read more closely the link I gave above comparing the 2 charts – I held off until I had read them myself.
What do you think …?

I’m okay, you’re okay

and that there’s what it. is.
~H.I. McDunnough

Nice grand earth trine above us.
Pluto in Cap, Mars Rx in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus.

Active transformation of work, could call it crisis. 
Feels like crisis.

Mars Rx is up Virgos nostril right proper, must admit I was expecting a bit more…
well…self-directed detailing, it has felt more like my brain is spinning wheels.
How are you doing ?

(I have Pluto square my 3rd Mars ruled Aries as well – so thinking has turned a bit obsessive.)  It has caused a vice grip on thinking aka. Keep. It. Together ! 
It occurs to me ~ a bit obsessive is like being a little bit pregnant, lol.

I have been browsing the chill. category above with regularity…and a new one at the end of this post, so turn the lights off and relax if you like, I’ll join you.

Jupiter in Taurus, ahh the self worth – we are working hard to maintain, yes ?
Figure out what exactly we need to achieve it ?
Earth trines build, and things are a bit haywire as the heavens force us to re-evaluate.

In other news, Mercury comes to meet its higher octave Uranus soon (Friday March 2, 5:41 am CST, USA) which is square Pluto, that will be a mind-boggler I’ll bet.  We will all be getting some whiz dinger communiques outta that one – Aries is fire and that aspect is greased lightning ~>
The universe cracks open and the head fills up…
Tip: carry a notebook – you’re gonna wanna write them down !

Mars Rx and Mercury will be in mutual reception, meaning in each others houses, they are co-operating.  Better than on the telephone to each other, they are more like in telepathic communication.  They get each other.

ie: Ever see the movie with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz where Cameron (rich) lives in LA, Kate in (omg the cutest frugal cottage) in the UK.
The Holiday 
They are both burned out in relationships & career.  They connect on the net, then when they trade houses they slip into each others totally different lifestyles and find their new groove.  You learn a lot about a person by the contents of their house.

These two planets and houses are gonna be in tune.
Mars Rx in Virgo and Mercury in Aries.
Look to your natal and see where they land – take advantage !

Venus is coming up to Jupiter~ they are great friends that like to party and play nice but opposite stick in the mud work horse Saturn Rx ? Not gonna happen – obligations first.
Love $$ & women want to flirt and roam, but the brakes are on.

Meatloaf anyone ? 
I gotta know right now will you love me forever ~ !?
Or Dr. Phil, lol.  “How’s that workin’ for ya ?!”
Take your pick.

Sun in Pisces opposite Mars Rx in Virgo : dear goddess is chaos perfection or what ?!
Relax, everything is gonna be okay.
Okay ?

This was a lovely surprise (Uranus rules surprises) gift from a stranger.
A slice of giant astronaut film.
How cool is that ?!
Exactly.

You know what’s cooler …?
I went back and checked the astro of Star Trek exhibition day ~
Venus (gifts) was conjunct Uranus (astronauts / aerospace).

Moon was tightly conjunct Saturn in the last degrees of Venus ruled Libra.
I bought my Mom (Moon) a tribble (a cooing fuzzball – I’m going with Venus rules) for Valentines (Venus rules Libra, love and gifts) and she’s a Capricorn (Saturn rules).

She of course, loved it !  She is the original trekkie in our house.
She made me the model ship and hung it in my bedroom when I was little.
She bought me the little action figures and we watched the cartoon.

(In our composite Jupiter -expansion- is tightly conjunct Uranus)
Jupiter amps up the space geek wattage, lol.

Mom even bought me Captain’s Logs years ago – I drug it out of my bag for the car trip over, and my friend cracked UP at the unabashed nerdiness.
My friend was secretly relieved I didn’t dress as a Klingon, lol.
No – not Klingon – obviously
  I’m from Betazed.   hahaha !

Roddenberry asteroid 4659 is exact conjunct my 11th house Neptuner – hilar – Incredibly apt for a life long Trek freak !

…so back to the fellow at the museum, he saw me snapping shots of the giant reels at the museum and thought I might like a slice.  I totally like !

Sun (rules generous Leo) was quintile (special talents, expression) Jupiter (lucky gifts, explorers) in the sky that day.
Your kindness was very sweet, thank you !
(Venus and Jupiter rule politeness, are conjunct in my natal.)


I was a radio, tv, film major in college, but he didn’t know that.
When he found me in the lobby and gave me the slice, my Mercury MC kicked in and I blurted some quickie astro “Neptune just went into Pisces for the first time since the gold rush and my most highly aspected planet is Neptune which rules film ! !”

TMI ?!  haha oh well – I gave him this addy and went on about Gneiss metamorphic rocks, science then finally put a sock in it.  If in case – you, Mister handsome Museum Film dude – are reading…in my natal, Uranus (space) is in my 9th (exploration) house.
It is conjunct my Sun (spirit) and Pluto (metamorphs) and your surprise really lifted my spirits, thanks !

The 11th house of Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) rules birds of a feather (flight is Uranus, so is astrology), or like minded friends.  Aquarians and Uranian types are eccentric and inventive, they are the crazies on the cutting edge – they expect and offer freedom.  Aquarians are advanced in humanitarian thinking and goals (Aquarius is an Air sign, full of intuitive brainstorms- Uranus rules lightning and electricity) seeing and knowing (Aquarian motto) the value of all life on earth and in space.

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Sounds Uranian all over, curious and strange, the radical and uncharted.
In case you didn’t know, Kirk and Uhura had the first interracial kiss on network television.  ! YaY !
There is Venus (kiss) conjunct Uranus (radical & unexpected) again !

AND Uhura is derived from uhuru which is Swahili for freedom.

Whenever Uranus transits a planet in your natal expect the unexpected, it can mean a separation, a surprise, sudden messages & bolts from the blue, but most of all the unpredictable.  Consider if the aspect Uranus makes is a conjunction (power operating), an opposition (compromise with another), a trine (more harmonious) or a sextile (an opportunity).  That will give a bit of an idea where the change may come from.
Still – heads UP !

Also, I have seen in some charts Uranus in Leo, the 5th and / or in hard aspect to the Sun (Sun rules Leo, which rules the heart) can indicate a heart murmur, which is made by turbulent blood in or near your heart.
(Not in all charts, mind you, but some. Just be aware of the possibility.)

I love this, it’s only 2 minutes, and well worth your time, promise.  I found this video by following an Aquarian.  Odd the bit with the canoe parked at the edge of the water looks like the scene where Frodo breaks from the Fellowship, and leaves the shores of Amon Hen for Mordor.

Uranus rules synchronization, science as well as magnetics:
check this out (from wired) –

In particle physics, synchronized orientation is found in systems with “low noise,” in which signals are transmitted without degrading. But low noise isn’t enough to produce synchronized speeds, which are found in critical systems. The researchers give the example of ferromagnetism, where particles in a magnet exhibit perfect interconnection at a precise, “critical” temperature.

sweet friendship moon

Moon conjunct Venus in Aries  


Moon conjunct Venus is sweet and flexible, tender and romantic.

Aries is the sign of new beginnings. Creative ideas are tiny seeds beginning to sprout in the waxing crescent phase of the moon.

Nurture and tend your visions and creations, soon Moon will join Jupiter in Taurus the sign of Lunar exaltation.

The time of emotion and fire – driven ideas and inspiration will shift to earth and the need to produce and create will dominate.

Perspective.
Pluto rules the rare and miraculous, the microcosmos.
Saturn rules the Earth.

Pluto digs up and transforms how we experience everything in the place it lives or transits in our natal chart.

Pluto by transit hit exact square to my chart ruler, Saturn Rx – today.
Saw that comin’.
It went about as well as I figured it would. 

Pluto will turn your world on its head – you will find yourself hanging like Odin from a tree, sacrificing (death) one thing or idea only to transform that same thing or idea into another greater thing.  It is a struggle, a morph, a shift in perspective.

If the Plutonic situation will not change, YOU. WILL.
Which in turn does change the situation entirely.

See the picture of the Milky Way above…?
Shifts the way of thinking doesn’t it ?!
Now look at the photo below.

Perspective.
The universe – the micro / macro cosmos.
The ALL ONE.

The picture above is a stalked protozoan attached to a filamentous green algae with bacteria on its surface (160x).  1st Prize, 1979 – Paul W. Johnson University of Rhode Island, USA (source)

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

Uranus (Aquarius/ 11th house) and Pluto involve perspectives*  and microcosmos.  What house /s do these planets live in and what do they activate in your chart ?

* (see genius perspective artist, M.C. Eschers massive 11th house stellium)

Mine are conjunct Sun in Virgo, on the 9th house of Sagittarius, the expansive.
I SEE (Sag motto) the diversity of life (Pluto falls in my 8th house of Leo, Sun ruled or life)  BIG & small.
I can dovetail the two into a whole (Neptune girl is inclusive – Sag on 12th) philosophy (9th house)  ALL ONE. 

My former husband has them in the 11th house, he is a wicked smart micro biologist.
Teeny tiny is his trade, what he researches & produces goes into salad dressing, etc…
Both are trine his Moon (public) in Taurus.

Think about where Uranus and Pluto live in your chart and how they shift your perspectives time and again.  There is massive growth in that area of your chart, and there will be more in the future as Uranus and Pluto are moving closer to exact square in the sky above us now.

Look to planets they aspect – the house opposite (others), the houses squaring (internal), and the opportunities you have waiting for you in sextile, and the restful spots in the trines.  All these things will help you flesh out the story of your natal chart.

Now for a great photo that can bridge both worlds.
Earth AND Sky.
I love this one.
