Hello lovely people !
This tarot card reading is from the Soulcards deck by Deborah Koff-Chapin.
Another sign, as I post this I see not only is today an 8, but this post is numbered 2222, (8) which is strength and regeneration.
Blessings to all ~ find your brace points in love.
My question was loosely based on the principle of micro/macro energies for us and our world during these times of Uranus square Pluto. This reading will reveal what is UP with our lives, and the lives of all of us collectively.
I placed them in a group of 3, the last card being the message from spirit at the bottom of the deck. My other parameters being the most benevolent outcome for all my readers whenever they stop by to read it.
I love these cards because they are subjective, what YOU see springs out of your personal experience. Enjoy~
On a personal note, I am on vacation so if posts slow up for a week or so, do not be alarmed, I am working, but on other things. namaste~ gneissmoonastrology.net
We have a lovely Pisces (Neptune rules) Moon (feelings, public) conjunct chiron (healer) and Neptune (oceans).
Moon and Neptune both trine (harmony) Mercury (messenger of the gods) and Venus (love).
Neptune (oceans) trine Saturn (conservation).
I love it that Radiohead is so incredibly environmentally active – refusing to jet across the globe to play in a television studio – they dial it in – pointedly explaining why to do otherwise is ludicrous. oh yeah baby I dig you. My Saturn has a crush on your Saturn.
Obviously, I’m not done talking about how great Thom Yorke (click here for more Thom) is, so pull up a seat Radioheads..!
Thom has Mercury, Venus and Neptune in Scorpio. Intense and powerfully perceptive, he is able to read the collective pulse (Mercury, Neptune, Venus in Scorp) of unconscious human need (Mercury opp Moon) and forge (Pluto rules Scorp) new tools for building a more environmentally (Saturn conjunct Moon) sound future for us all.
That Virgo stellium is a powerhouse !
Virgos appreciate life in all its forms. They see the web of life, the sacred patterns present from the micro to the macro scale. They are earthy healers here to serve and protect.
Thom has Virgo Mars (desires, action), Jupiter (hope, philosophy) conjunct Pluto (the big game-changer, regeneration) and Uranus (the wild and free). He is progressive and pioneering, a leader in the environmental movement from a musicians standpoint. The band has taken solid steps to cut the amount of carbon emissions they produce during touring, as well as backing ecowatch groups and artists programs raising awareness on global warming.
Thom has Libra Sun (balance) opposite Aries Moon which is conjunct Saturn (Earth). Moon and Saturn have a Mars flavor which brings a militant attitude toward finding balance with the public (Moon) and Earth (Saturn).
Libra Sun opposite Aries Moon conjunct Saturn – all are in Cardinal signs – they are initiating plans of action and making waves.
Thom is a number 5 life path, and has a 5 Sun.
5= Change, flux and adjustment
His Moon is 7 = Divine order, the mystical, a turning point. Sevens are the triumph of spirit over matter.
Spirit (Sun) in the sign of balance (Libra) using art and music (Venus rules) to shine a reflection toward the masses (Moon) of what humankind is unconsciously doing to our (Mother, Moon) planet (Saturn, Earth).
I’m glad you were born to spin around on the planet with us, thank you.
Saturn incense is smoking up the room, candles are lit, music playing. This one goes out to those with Saturn Rx (retrograde) in Aries; North Node of destiny in Aries.
According to the books, Saturn in Aries falls, pessimistic bastards may as well say fails. They say the default setting of Saturn is to restrict, to limit, basically to stop. Saturn is terra firma and crystallization. Eh, they’re half right.
When Saturn is in the sign of Aries, which is ruled by Mars, the planet of getting things done, kicking your life into gear seems damn near impossible some days. Stubborn jackass Saturn is diggin’ in for the long haul no matter how hard Mars pulls at the reins. You may be awhile, pack a lunch.
Saturn rules time – it is the planet of testing, perfecting, concentration and discipline. It is justice, thrift and preservation, and patience.
Mars needs running, fighting, blowing stuff up and is impulse on fire NOW ! NO WAITING !!
Saturn Rx in Aries is restriction, testing and perfection turned inward on the self. It turns the extroverted Mars power into introverted power, anger and aggression. It becomes a driving need to JUST DO IT perfectly. The first time – no waiting !
Retrograde Saturn serves to temper action, perfect and streamline it. When Saturn governs the self will, Mars is practiced, perfected, and efficient before its action will be allowed to manifest outward. Saturn is where you perfect the house energies; Saturn Rx is where you perfect the house energies to the point of over compensation.
Saturnian self-doubt and insecurity can slow the energies of planets it contacts, or the house in which it is placed. Although, it is often where you are extremely capable, insanely talented and precise yet remain unaware of it.
I was surprised to hear Thom at the end of this video asking for validation, let’s face it- he’s a musical genius. We both have Aries Saturn Rx, so I get it, the need for validation, for outside opinion. Perfectionism is also running high in his chart with a Virgo stellium: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto. Yeah, check. Get that too.
North Node of Destiny in Aries indicates a person who will create a life path of developing self awareness, independence and leadership.
It is a path of making decisions, taking control and blazing new trails.
Happy Birthday Thom ! You are amazingly talented with the voice of an angel…I am under your spell. (click here for more Thom)
New horizons lie within your North Node of destiny, it is the Dragon’s Head in your chart. South node is the path that lies behind you, it is the Dragon’s tail, the worn path you have taken.
North Node is the point where matters begin to ascend.
Use the power of 3 to find your destiny –
3 = growth, flowering, expansion, the mingling of opposites.
*knowledge of the past *combined with hope for the future *to create your reality now
If you meet someone with their North Node of destiny conjunct a planet in your chart, that person will help you ascend in matters regarding that planet and house in your chart.
They will validate and guide you into your future.
A friend of mine once told me he could tell I was in a good mood because he could see purple lights around me.
He was a cool guy…quiet…known for being pretty zen (he showed up as Gandhi one Halloween), so not too surprised he could see my aura.
In the right light I can see a faint haze of color around people, and Ravi Shankar had an aura I could see plain as day.
Kirlian photography , also called corona (aura) discharge, is a high voltage, contact print photography. The process is simple. Sheet film is placed on top of a metal plate, called the discharge or film plate. The object to photograph is placed on top of the film whenHigh voltage is applied to the plate momentarily to make an exposure. The corona discharge between the object and discharge plate passes through and is recorded onto the film. When the film is developed you have a Kirlian photograph of the object.

Interesting isn’t it, that the organic mushroom looks much more lively and healthy ?! Raw foodies won’t be shocked to see raw uncooked veggies seem to have the best auras.
It was also noted that where an amputated finger had been removed, the aura of the missing finger still showed up in the photo. This lead me to a fascinating article by Rupert Sheldrake concerning phantom or amputated limbs still having a connection with the physical body.
I recently had a computer reading that is called Aura photography, but is more a bio-scan of stress levels. It will shoot out a color report of your ‘aura’ – complete with graphs and scales of how active each chakra in your body is.
I had a few bucks to blow, and I was curious to see what was up. What- are you kidding me- ?! If it’s weird, I’m in ! lol.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So of course, I had to experiment with some crystals and stones in the photo to see if it changed anything.
I am holding a very clear blue fluorite and a lodestone (bottom left), which changed the intensity of color a bit.
I intentionally fuzzed out the pic so the colors are the focus, so to speak. (Snowy Owl mask for Pluto transiting my 1st…)
It appears I have a high-frequency aqua-marine aura.
A scored of about 90 out of 100, meaning my aura travels farther than most. Maybe you have seen it out & about…?
50 on root chakra, 60 in sacral, 80 solar plexis, 90 heart, 95 throat, 95 third eye, 90 crown.
Primary colors: blue = depth, green = manifestation
I am drawn to blue and green stones, Neptune (blue) squares to Leo (heart, green) I feel they fortify me somehow, it’s hard to explain, but they feel good.
Recently I grabbed a pyrite for a few days when I needed grounding, (it is carved in a heart shape-ha irony !) and it was soothing. Keep in mind Saturn (rules rocks, earth) rules my chart.
Despite the fact that I am full of earth, I am constantly trying to guide my Neptune, so I keep crystals all over me and my house and I feel it helps.
I am also glugging quite a lot of my homemade clematis essence (helps to ground dreams into reality) that I specially harvested during the last Pisces full moon.
Aquamarine aura means compassionate, peaceful nature, easy flowing relationships.
Giant Neptuner ? ~ bingo!
Also of note with further reading I see it is the color most indicative of polarities. This I find very interesting, as I have been told by an intuitive that I AM here to learn about polarities. That lodestone I am holding in the pic – magnetic.
My Uranus is oriental, conjunct Sun and Uranus rules magnetics and polarities.
My Mercury is at Mid-heaven and Mercury is dualistic.
Trickster/messenger.
I am careful not to destruct their webs while walking through my yard.
I just sit and watch them spin, they fascinate me.
Building. Always building. Work, work and more work.
Spider, my yard
Spinning all sorts of webs, not just orbs like you see pasted up in Halloween windows, but funnels and string lines with lassos, all sorts of designs to suit the purpose.
I wonder how many webs a spider spins during their life ? How many times does their masterpiece get wrecked to the point it is better to leave it and start over on another one ?
Pluto is wrecking ball my Saturn right now.
Asheville, NC artist. Please, forgive, too many years ago to remember.
Neptune is opposing my Venus Jupiter conjunction in the 8th, and I want to build art.
I want the materials and tools (Mars) in my hands. (Saturn in Aries 3rd, trine Mars in Sag)
I love to work with my hands (Gemini 6th). I love leatherwork. (Saturn rules me and leather) I love the way it smells and the way the wrinkles in the hide feel underneath my fingertips when I lace it with sinew. (Toro Moon 4th)
Gneiss Moon
It’s dead, and I’m Plutonic.
Skulls, bones, feathers, hides, skins, rocks, crystals, quills, furs, twigs and sticks, axes and arrowheads are all over my place. Death is a part of life. I get the feng shui, and I practice it my way. The dead stuff stays.
I’m pretty Uranian too with Neptune waterfalling all over my chart from the 11th and Uranus/Pluto conjunct Sun in the 9th.
I’m self – taught in many areas, I prefer it to classes, tests and schedules.
What I want to learn, no school around here teaches anyway.
Lucky Lucky Late Leos get another baptism in the waters of Neptune.
Via Opposition. Other.
Venus smoosh Saturn is trine Neptune. Sun conjunct Mercury opposite Uranus and it looks like I am gonna pop the cork on Neptune, fuq yeah.
Moon opposite Jupiter and the time is ripe, it surfaces.
First things first. I have natal Neptune in Scorp on the 11th – that means you, You and YOU see me suffer and squirm under the microscope. That Neptune is squaring my Heart in Leo on the 8th – specifically, Venus conjunct Jupiter. Both of which are presently in a stranglehold with Neptune again.
I’m gonna tell you straight up, it’s a bitch. *
~~~~~~~~~~
Scorpios DO the penetrating, they hate being exposed to the crowd, their weaknesses on public display in broad daylight, no less. Neptuning fork turned onto itself in Leo is heartless, cruel and selfish – The Will bent and twisted to wield power over others. It is the absolute refusal to give up the shiny object, come death and re-birth, the shiny ‘mine’ will still be clutched tightly in the talons.
It is self-delusion, self-deception, and escapism to the microscopic Scorpionic degree of depths that only the soul knows. The belief that going dark cave deep in a haze of addiction will keep the secret sorrows hidden from others is truly an unconscious desperation that they will be hidden from the self. Over-sensitivity to the environs due to an overactive Neptune in Scorpio can lead to irrational fear of others, self-induced seclusion and a flat-out refusal to face life.
A Scorped up Neptuned Leo WILL obsess over the soulless meatsack staring back from the mirror. It will poke, provoke and power the ugly thing with unswerving penetrating attention, willing it to rise for yet another death. It is a power struggle to the death – internal vs. external – the need to transform fighting the need to fixate. It is the deeply ingrained fixed habits of many lifetimes – the WILL carved so deeply it turns on itself to find the source of the offense and root it out.
Strangled Leo is Plutonic sexual desire metamorphosed and warped, a lack of willpower and reckless gambling of the heart and soul of self and others. It is vain pride, mining for energy from others, taking – always taking without giving. It is intolerance of others who do not share the same beliefs, the instinctive Scorpionic need to control – twisted to manipulate the other, a vampirism of the unconscious self and others in the collective.
~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~
Solution ?
Quit being a puss. Suck it up, sweetheart – quit giving yourself a free pass out of anything difficult. Be honest with yourself and others. Use your WILL POWER for healthy thoughts and deeds. Channel the inner energy to EVOLVE instead of control and manipulate. Say kind things to yourself in the quiet moments. Go through EVERY letter in the alphabet and choose a groovy word starting with that letter to describe yourself. Now do it AGAIN and AGAIN choosing a different word each time. Open your heart, fear keeps the friends out too. Speak your kind thoughts aloud. Train your attention – feed the things that make you feel good about yourself.
Be mindful of your thoughts. Focus on the positive.
I love you and I have excellent taste. You dig ?
Now quit fucking around and use your talents wisely – you are brilliant – shine.
