O + 8 & Z

Posted on by

Funny sometimes how astrology plays out … subtle planetary nuances, whispers of moods, or screams ! – depending.
Yesterday I was really feeling the pressure cooker.

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

I am a civil servant.  (I know, how Virgo of me !)  I serve the people…this of course escalates at this time of year.  Did somebody say time ?!  yeegads.

I have Pluto transiting my Capricorn 1st house (opposite 7th- others) and here come the people – all wanting my time (Saturn), a piece of me, lol.  (My Saturn is Rx in Aries, the house of me.)  Pluto is coming up to square my chart ruler, which is Saturn, the immovable Earth (or so it thinks, lol- Pluto is sayin’ oh yeah..?! watch this ! )

Work, work and more work.  Guess what, staycation is More Work.  I wake up from working out the daytime issues at nightime, (crazy dreams last night) so Saturn never sleeps.  Oh, and did I mention there is an eclipse coming ?
Oh goodie !  .whatever.
In Gemini, the twins (anybody here do cloning ?) on my 6th house of bingo ! work and service !  
*insert maniacal laughter here*

Pluto is a shakedown planet, and so is Uranus (3 days from going direct !) and both are conjunct my Sun in Virgo.  When planets, particularly the outer, transpersonal,  s l o w e r  moving planets get moving, I feel it.. and the days before direct are akin to water on fire boiling to a whistle.

Uranus is the wildcard of the zodiac, and how do I know it ? … well  how much time ya got, lol?!
Mars is quintile Uranus (its the higher octave of Mercury, Lord of Eclipse ) in my natal chart, Mars is trine Saturn, and Mars is transit my Virgo Sun, Uranus, Pluto Stellium, so when the Plutonic pressure is building ~>  take . cover .
jus’ sayin’ !
hahakidding.

Yesterday I thought the pressure could use some intense primal scream therapy  Mars !  but I was in the parking garage and thought it might freak people out.  a.  little.   My little Aries head might have just popped right off with all that Mars screaming- who knows !?  With my Toro Moon it would be loud, perhaps even operatic, lol !

SoOoo I burst into maniacal laughter instead ! ~ which is Venus.
I got loads of oxygen coming in and put out the fuse.
…and there is your happy ending, folks.

happy eclipsing

O= oxygen, with an atomic number  ‘Z’  of 8
8 protons / positive electrical charge
8= strength

* edit, came back to add clarity after my busy day (wrote this before work) and found a special Uranian/Plutonic surprise (they rule mistakes) waiting – snap ! is fixed !  Considering aspects such as Merc Rx, and the others detailed above, should have checked 2x, my apologies.  Nobody’s perfect.  peace out.

Popping in to answer some questions:

Gneiss, what is the numerology of lodestone ?

A:  Lodestone is magnetic, it has positive and negative polarities so my first thought was 2.

According to astrology rulership, 2 is Moon or Cancer.
Lodestones are magnetic, and magnetics corresponds with Uranus, Aquarius and the number 4.

Magnetite (lodestone is a naturally magnetized magnetite) is octahedral.

Meaning it has 8 triangles, 12 edges, 6 vertices.
(Crystals grow mathematically.)

Note in the text below that the octahedron is dual, a mirror of itself –
so again, 2.

Lodestones attract iron fillings, can change the reading on a compass and are used to balance the polarities in the body, aligning all the chakras.
Lodestone is an earth element stone, it is grounding and gives added power to attracting manifestations.  They can be used to stimulate specific points on the body meridians, they help regulate frequencies.  Lodestone is very helpful for protection of one’s energy field.

There is biogenic magnetite in human brain tissue as well, click here to learn more.  It serves as an internal ‘homing device’ which enables us to choose which fork in the road we will take.
Choice is 2.


Gneiss, which Catholic Saint is synchronized with Saturn ?


~~~~~~

A:  Saint Peter.  He holds the keys to the gates of Heaven.
(Saturn rules gates, binds and constricts.)

Peter’s attribute is a set of keys, from the time Christ said to him: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Mathew 18:18

Gneiss does Pluto rule basements in astrology ?

A: Saturn and Capricorn rule basements, for they rule the earth.
Pluto rules catacombs, the dead buried in the earth.

Sworn to protect

I spoke of the solar Hobbit eclipse, but I did not speak of the men of Middle Earth, one of which is Aragorn, a fine King, a man of quality.

Sun Quintile Uranus
Viggo is a free spirit, a traveler, a multi-talented renaissance man, but most of all, Viggo is a kind man.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Viggo has Sun, North Node of Destiny and Venus conjunct in Libra – let’s face it, he’s handsome, but that’s not all.  He is kind and fair and went to bat for his fellow actors in LoTR – seeking fair pay for work on the trilogy.  A man of quiet power and strength, he has Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune all conjunct in Scorpio.

Rooster of Conjunction

I am open to the guidance of synchronicity and do not let expectations hinder my path ~ Dali Lama


Tabula Smaragdina (Emerald Tablet) ; Artist Matthieu Merian

December 10. 2011
Uranus direct zero Degrees Aries at 1:04 am, CST, USA
Full Lunar Eclipse 18 degrees Gemini: 8:36 am, CST, USA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Click here for NASA map with info regarding visibility.
Total lunar phase lasts 51 minutes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Full Lunar Eclipse in Gemini follows the partial Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius that occurred on November 25, 2011, click here for more on that eclipse.

Eclipses are signposts indicating new directions in life, both personally and globally.

Full Lunar Eclipse in Gemini means Mercury Rx (retrograde= re-evaluate, revise, re-invent) is Lord of the Eclipse. The energies of the eclipse degree will remain active for several months after the eclipse, as other planets make aspects to the eclipse degree.
Lord of the Eclipse, Mercury Rx adds to this delayed release of eclipse energy.

Mercury Rx at the time of the eclipse is on the decan of Jupiter, bringing a sense of hope and faith in the future for us personally (micro) and globally (macro).  Mercury Rx is trine the newly direct Uranus. (Uranus turns direct 7.5 hours prior to the eclipse.)
It is worthy of note that Mercury in revision, trine Uranus going direct will shift intuitions, advanced soul growth is particularly acute for this eclipse.  The mind and how we communicate is covering all the bases.
Mercury Rx is in Sagittarius, and rules both Gemini and Virgo.

During a Full Lunar Eclipse, the Earth (the material world, work and wealth) shadows the Moon (emotions, fluctuation, security).
The Earth is receiving the light, while the moon is not.  For this reason, material world issues will be called to the foreground and are in the middle of a compromise.

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

This compromise lies between higher visionary ways of seeing / thinking, and being actively in service to others * (solar) ;
versus counter-productive fluctuating emotions, scattered thinking regarding health, work, and personal responsibilities (lunar).

* note: this is the North Node of Destiny Path*

Some interesting polarities: Sun on the decan of Mars, opposite (compromise) the Moon on the decan of Venus.
Solar Mars is ego, male energy, and it is in a transpersonal sign and house – in compromise – with Lunar Venus, female, emotional energy in a personal sign on a social house.

Sun is quintile (creativity expressed, the spirit quest) Neptune and Chiron – this is an amazing healing vibe !  In addition, Venus is quintile Uranus giving art and love an edge of maverick intuitive expression ~  what a fabulous way to go direct, yes ? !

Sun and Moon are both square Mars in Virgo on the decan of Saturn.  Mars and Saturn work well together.  Saturn focus is good for crazy Martian energy, it gives stamina, tact and self-discipline to power.

Mars in Virgo with a Saturnian flavor adds stamina to detail work and thinking – in square to eclipse energies, with Mercury Rx trine Uranus direct, expect self- examination & wild card / lightning bolt brainstorms.

Where will you be feeling the eclipse energies ?  Look for the Gemini / Sagittarius axis in your natal chart.
Where will you be feeling Uranus direct ?  Look for the house of Aries in your natal chart.

Here’s a very general guideline:
1/7 = self/others
2/8 = mine/yours
3/9 = learning/teaching
4/10 = home/career
5/11 = personal will/ will for others
6/12 = personal health & work/ universal health & service

Planets in your natal conjunct the eclipse point of 18 degrees Gemini and any aspects to that point will feel a strong influx of eclipse energies, and look in the future to planets crossing this degree for more incoming eclipse vibes…

Moon’s Rapture

Posted on by

Venus is coming up to


conjunct Pluto in Capricorn !

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 power of the human figure in his drawings.

Click here for a wonderful video tribute to Frank and his work.
