Fog. Swamp. Rain.
Insight. Heal. Transcend.

Well this has been an interesting week.  Anytime Neptune takes a hit, so do I.
It is my most highly aspected planet and it shows.
Heads UP, keep an eye on yours too.  It will reveal volumes.

Pluto by transit is also square my chart ruler (Saturn Rx) and coming to trine my Moon which trines natal Pluto (Uranus / Sun in Virgo) and is in opposition to natal Neptuner.
I was wondering how this would play out. 
As it happens, it was in the dream I mentioned earlier.  Valentines night. 
Details remain secret. 
I will say it is funny and odd how Pluto ripped up the turf and surf in sideways.

Cosmic pinball !

Sun is coming to conjunct Neptune, Chiron and Mercury in Pisces ~ incoming !
You have mail !

Healing and discreet communiques are holding court, taking the stage ~
but in the dark – behind the curtain.
Don’t expect to make sense of it right away~
This is Neptune, it will wash over you in waves, seep and creep into the nooks crannies and crevices of your life.

Everyone has this opportunity to go swamp mining Chiron is sextile Pluto in the middle of the rolling conjunction I mentioned above.

Roll up yer sleeves and go at it !  Slog through the mud !

Soon the Sun will sextile Pluto and light will be in dark places.
Healing is in progress and insight is forthcoming on all stations.

When the Sun comes out, you will be amazed.

night flight

Flying on my Dreams II Artist: IceQueen777 (click)

This morning when I awoke and slowly rose to shake off the last bits of sleep, images began to form in my mind’s eye of my nights travels.

I had landed softly on a lush green daisy – strewn sunlit field after flying above a city waving and blowing kisses at strangers on the ground.  It was a much needed dream that brought serenity and peace of mind.  

Clouds were drifting past me and I was toasty warm having a blast looking and waving at the world below me… I even visited someone while still dreaming and told them how cool my flight to their house was.   I played games with their son while we patiently waited for dinner.  

I rarely remember dreams these days so it was a lovely Valentine’s gift from the universe.

I looked at my transit info asap, of course.  Transit Venus coming to conjunct Saturn in Aries which is trine Mars in Sagittarius (long-distance travel) in 11th house (natural house of Aquarius and flight).
My Mars is also quintile (spiritual gift) Uranus so flying dreams and yes, a bit of amour tossed in as well.  Lucky me ! xo

Flying dreams represent your ambition and wishes taking flight.  The condition of the flight you take in your dream represents how easy or difficult your climb to success will be for you.

Loretta Lynn & Patsy Cline
These are my refrigerator magnets.  Obviously, I love these gals.
The first one I bought was the Patsy magnet. I was in Nashville, at the Ernest Tubb record store, across the street from Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, which is right behind the Grand Olde Opry.
Incidentally, in 1961, Loretta was singing some of Patsy’s songs live on the radio from the Ernest Tubb record store, when Patsy heard her (she was recovering from a car crash in the hospital at the time) and asked her husband, Charlie, to go and fetch Loretta – she wanted to meet her.  Loretta was thrilled and a life – long friendship was born.  The chart below shows the transits for the car crash I am speaking of.

Patsy was a life path 5, she challenged the status quo and lived her life her way.
She was born just after the first quarter moon which indicates a life of action and crisis control – it is a moon of versatility and trailblazing.

Patsy was a raucous bawdy stand – up gal who stuck up for herself and others with strength of character and a great generosity of spirit.  Patsy was a Virgo, Capricorn Moon, with Gemini rising – Mercury chart ruler.

Mercury is at 29 (culmination degree) of Leo conjunct the nadir.  Virgo stellium in the 4th house of feeling.  Mercury conjunct Jupiter – that amps up any and all forms of self – expression.  Tightly conjunct Neptune the inspired musician – all the feelings from the well of water – felt and soaked up from others – comes pouring out through the divine vehicle – the voice.  Patsy has this entire Virgo stellium trine Capricorn Moon in the 7th.  She sang with such great depth of feeling and eloquently expressed each turn of phrase, each note.  Great singers practice control and restraint.

Patsy was a strong woman who stood up to record execs and promoters – she demanded cash on the barrelhead, ‘no dough, no show’.  She had top billing and maintained control of her career when many women were considered secondary to the higher paid male stars, and were treated as such.
Patsy was the first woman in country music to perform at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and in 1962, she was also the first woman in country music to headline her own show in Vegas.

Patsy also has a stellium in the second house, the natural house of Taurus.  When Patsy was 13, she had a serious case of rheumatic fever (Mars) and she almost died (Pluto).  When she recovered, she discovered she had developed a booming voice. (Venus rules Taurus, the throat).

This 2nd house stellium is in opposition to Saturn in Capricorn (it rules, strong placement) in the 8th.  Patsy had perseverance in the face of death (8th house), that’s for sure. The focal planet of her T-Square is Uranus in Aries.  Uranus is Mars flavored, and Patsy was known to be very down to earth and ‘one of the guys’, fond of telling bawdy jokes and cutting up while downing a few at the bar.  Uranus rules the 11th house, so she was an outspoken maverick, a strong what you see is what you get  woman.

Uranus square to Saturn and square the 2nd house stellium with Pluto dovetailing between Mars and Venus and she was a powerhouse catalyst for all those in her circle, women and  men.  I mean not only her inner circle, but Cancer being Moon (public) ruled, her audience and the music industry as well.

As I mentioned above, the transits are for the time of Patsy’s 1961 car crash.  She was thrown through the windshield and again, nearly died.  The 3rd house is short distance travel, (accident happened in Nashville) and Mars (accidents) is coming to conjunct Uranus in the 3rd house.  North Node throws a beneficial influence over Mercury (rules travel) by conjunction.  Sun does as well by sextile.

Note also that a Saturn return indicates a new perspective on life, reaching a stage of growth and reflection, as well as karmic meetings.  The accident spurred Patsy to a renewed faith and brought her a karmic gift – she met Loretta Lynn. (click)
If you are wondering about the title – Patsy called her friends Hoss, men & women alike.

Elemental & Energetic

Posted on by

My energy has tanked the last few days – Mars & Pluto activation, etc.. soOo I finally took a night to mummy up in soft fuzzy blankets, lay around with my kitties and read ~ utter bliss !
Finally finished The Key (click).  It was a fabulous read with unique spiritual and environmental perspectives.  I marked a couple of things to share.  (You might want to read my previous entry to get up to speed on the book. The direct link to buy it is at the top of that post.)

This first bit refers to the precession and the ages of man. 

Whitley: So how are we to approach God ? What is the nature of this infinite being that resides in every grain of sand ?

The Master of the Key: When you say God, you think of somebody outside of yourself.  You think as the age of worship thinks.  Over the last age, that of Pisces, the elemental body was changed by this process of worship.  It is not the same as it was two thousand years ago.  Now the receptacle is larger.  Now each of you can contain all of the universe.  That was not true then.  Now this is a species of sacred beings.  But you are babies, still ignorant of your powers.  The last age was the age of the external God.

This is the age of God within.

Whitley: What is real religion ?

The Master of the Key: From outside of time, man’s effort to know God appears as a single form, a work of art that has evolved across history.  You have created it in three phases.  The first is negative, the age of sacrifice.  This is why the Old Testament God is so terrible.  The moment that God tells Abraham not to kill Isaac is a record of one of the most sacred of all human moments, for it sets the stage for the next age.

The second age is positive, the age of worship.  This is why the God of the New Testament is full of compassion.

Your present age is when man and God become one.  You find in yourself Christ, Buddha, Allah, Krishna.  In this age, the elemental body has evolved to the point that it has the potential to reflect divine ecstasy.

Interesting, yes ?
Neptune into Pisces is up next…  

Whitley: What is heaven ?

The Master of the Key: Music.

Whitley: Are you being facetious ?

The Master of the Key:  Heaven is a state of being that intensifies the spin of every electron in the body.  It is a music that begins in the root of being.

Now check this bit which is so Uranus square Pluto~

Whitley: Why does a process of extinction cause intelligence ?

The Master of the Key:  Evolution is pressure.  Pressure causes struggle.  Creatures struggling not to be destroyed evolve adaptations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
earlier in the text:
The Master of the Key: The purpose of meditation is two – fold.  It is to organize the energetic body so that it will not lose its integrity after it can no longer depend upon the structure of the elemental body for its form.

:::::::::::::
Cosmic Neptunian reading, yes ?  It is a book filled with thought – provoking conversation, definitely worth a look.
Be aware The Master of the Key speaks of us ‘choking on our own garbage’ and the ‘evil of secrets’ perpetuated by those who are the control behind  government officials.  If you are looking for sunshine and rainbows, some of this book isn’t for you.

I do find it interesting that The Master of the Key mentions being thankful for the shadow for it is the teacher.  God is everything – All One.  Evil is NOT the way, but it shows the way.  Darkness is what the Master of the Key calls the ‘compassion of God’, its very existence reveals the light.
Sounds like a weird concept until you think of  Yin yang.

There is no bad karma – all karma is good karma, for even the ‘bad’ karma has worth, for it is the teacher – the enlightener.

The elemental world may only find communion with the energetic world by releasing fear.  It is fear we must transcend.


Oppositions and squares in the natal chart are what cause us to grow.  They push and pull us – forcing us into action.
The same can be said of conflict between two charts. Challenging synastry with another who pushes our buttons will force change.  In order to relieve the difficult aspects, the internal (square) or external (opposition) stress, we create solutions, we compromise, we find balance – we evolve.
We love.

apple of my eye

The Garden of Indun by Melukilan

“In Norse mythology, Iðunn is the goddess of apples and eternal youth.  (The story of Iðunn can be found in the Poetic Edda, a 13th century Icelandic Norse mediaeval manuscript.)
Iðunn was lured out of Asgard into the woods by Loki, which in turn, caused the gods to age.  The gods forced Loki to return Iðunn, but Þjazi, in the form of an eagle, abducted her from the wood.  Loki, finds her, and in the form of Falcon, turns her into a nut and returns her to Asgard.

Pomona ( pomum in Latin means fruit ) is the goddess of fruitful abundance, granting youth and vitality. She is a wood nymph, a guardian spirit (Numia) who nurtures and protects flourishing fruit trees. The pruning knife was her sacred tool.

Pyrus Malus
Apple
Also known as: Silver branch, Silver bough, Tree of Love
Astrological: Libra, Taurus
Medical: Diuretic.  Eating apples will aid in sleep.
Magickal: One of the nine woods best for ritual fires.  Universal love food.  To share apples with a loved one is said to encourage love and romance.  Use apple wood for love charms and amulets. note: apple seeds are poisonous.

To dream of apples is fortunate indicating increased health, earning power and love.  Apples are ruled by Venus, dreaming of them signals a change for the better.

Asteroid Pomona can be found in your natal by going to Astrodienst and entering 32.
Neptune and Chiron are currently conjunct Pomona in Pisces.  Find her in your natal to see where your life will bear delicious fruits.

I was curious about the origin of the phrase apple of my eye.  Here it is…
Deuteronomy 32:10 (King James Version, 1611)

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

Pomona is in my 7th, where is she in your chart ?
