Gimmie a Crazy Ivan

A friend asked me my thoughts re: the Void Moon immediately following 23 degree Scorpio Full Moon lunation.

Seriously took me about 2 seconds.
Gimmie a Crazy Ivan.
FULL BURN

See how the Firefly engines are mounted on axis from one another ? 
A Crazy Ivan is:
Full throttle FORWARD ~> BOOM <~ flip engine do a 180
FULL BURN
until we reach atmo. .  .    .      .         .            .                 .

Plutonic power rules Scorpio
Powerful
kundalini energies of regeneration are surging in us expressed through Full Moon in house Scorpio.

Ancient ruler of Scorpio is Mars – which is retrograde until May 19th.
Mars energies are frustrated – not expressing well – in the house of Libra, its detriment.

Cardinal signs are feeling this Mars bottleneck at 9 degrees +/- 5.

Full moon always amps up the primal instincts.
Emotions run HIGH and HOT and DEEP with this Scorpio lunation.  

USE (Moon conjunct Saturn) your FULL BURN energies wisely- transmute yourself rather than throttle others.

Void moon ends with Moon into Sagittarius

How y’all doin’ leading up to Scorpio Full Moon ?  
Highs & lows ?  
Roger that.

I can barely walk with Saturn transit conjunct and Full Moon Lunar Landing on natal Neptuner in 11. Transit Mars Rx in 10 opposing natal Satan Rx, while natal backdoor Mars is getting hammered by a Neptune square.
I’m Saturn’s bitch & Neptune’s nymph without a doubt. 

So I have a lively natal Saturnian Neptuney illustration for you….
I had a stellar  Pete moment several years back…
Lemme explain.


My former husband and I loved to have fun.
He’s a 4 planet Sagittarius stellium; me, 9th house stellium, Venus conjunct Jupiter and Mars in Sagittarius.
Lots and LOTS of fun.

We have natal Taurus Moons conjunct – both of us have Moon opposite Neptune.
Classic textbook intoxicant aspects.
Yeaaah, we partied.
HARD.
On the run, touring as often as possible
while still holding 
down full time jobs.

Safe to say we both made our share of mistakes, and I am not without blame.
I am the lucky owner of a 8th house Leo Venus/Jupiter square Scorpio Neptune.
I don’t want to be a queen, I want to be the Queen.

The story goes, I came home from being gone awhile to find our bed made – perfectly.
Dead. Giveaway.

Whoever she was, (not the first or the second woman I had put up with either) this one had been in my home – in. my. bed.
I POPPED.
My natal Toro moon is exalted, in 4 – MY HOME.
Think Bull.  Horns Locked, Loaded.

Every hair on my body stood straight UP, my eyes glazed over, in the space of a heartbeat, I was a world away, in a trance state.

I slowly turned, calm and cool as a cucumber, silently marched down two flights of stairs, strolled up to his $800 Alvarez, quietly apologized aloud to the luthier, sweetly grabbed the neck and smashed that mutha into a million pieces.

 

tumblr_me2sihZUfC1qm3f8zo1_500I remember the wild abandon of Pure Plutonic Pain surging through my whole body.
I remember hating being driven to destroy what I find wholly holy, music.
I remember finding it odd how solid hollow body guitars actually are.
You’ve really gotta put the whammy on ’em – as illustrated below by Dave Grohl.

Equally as satisfying as primal scream.
T
oro Moon trine Pluto does both very well when pushed too far.

dave-grohl-smashing-guitar-oAfterwards, I sat down, had a beer, a smoke….my thoughts drifting aimlessly as I curiously gazed at the wreckage of my life laying and lying all over the basement floor.
I found it odd that in a hairsbreadth, I was so angry that I destroyed in seconds what someone had so lovingly, painstakingly created over weeks, months.

Neptune is my most highly aspected planet – ruling stringed instruments, though I didn’t know it at the time.   It became obvious years later when I learned astrology, read my aspects – read our aspects.

Stunningly accurate, divinely sublime.

For the record:
Jerry Lee Lewis, Charles Mingus, Pete Townshend are among the first to smash their instruments onstage; Jimi the first to set it ablaze.

Pete has Aries Mars opposite Libra Neptune both square Saturn N Node focal in Cancer 10.  Twelfth house Moon square Uranus in Gem on MC.

Jimi has great aspects to his Libra Neptune including trines to Gemini Uranus/Saturn.
Fire burns in his 12th house Sagittarius stellium: Sun, Mercury, Venus (opposing Gemini) square Leo Chiron tightly conjunct N Node as (out-of-sign) focal points in a T-Square.

A journey across the stars and heavens through antiquated astronomical diagrams.

I unearthed some dusty old scientific textbooks in my father’s attic, and immediately became inspired by the delicately rendered diagrams, plots and schemata. These purely scientific visual aids became unwitting artworks on their own, which is something I really loved.

The short animation explores pathways through astronomy’s roots, dating back to antiquity with its origins in scientific, mythological and astrological practices.  kimoni

Upcoming whammy Full Moon in Scorpio – it’s conjunct Saturn while trine Jupiter in Cancer also trine a Chiron Part of Fortune conjunction in Pisces.  Virgo Rising with Mercury MC, PoF smack on DC at Full Lunation.

First and foremost, you can count on lots of bubbling psychic spring waters and a fair bit of mud surfacing with this full moon – meaning deep soul mining & plenty of processing – heads up !  
Focusing on thoughts & organization of them, how to effectively heal ourselves and others in one swell foop.  We carry the past with us, regenerating it into our future.

We are still dealing with Mars Rx in another thinking sign fascinated with relationships.
Retrograde slowing to station feels like quicksand – balance and bonds are in deep.
We get  s  t  r   e    t    c     h     e      d  like a rubber band ready to SNAP – PoP !

Full Moon spotlights Saturn body issues, also authority, the past and time.

Those who deal with me
must have the Patience of a Saint – I KNOW this.
 In my case, Achilles tendon and bone issues, now fatigue.  As transiting Neptune closes the square to my natal Mars – the low energy I DO have drains right outta me.
I am working on everything, trust.  I am just moving slower.  Truly, thank you kindly for your patience.  

As this moon grows to full, it encourages cultivation of deep patience with ourselves, others and relationships of all kinds – but with eyes and ears open wide.

Personal and joint power and energy exchanges are struggling, switch-hitting, ultimately SURVIVING.

photo 52Right things at the right time in the right space.
Perfect timing is a continuum, a meeting that Always IS.

Venus is conjunct Uranus at lunation.
Many doors close – many doors also swing open.
This may be your revolving door coming back around – only You KNOW.

Mercury in Gemini sextiles Venus / Uranus, so yes a bit tricky – but opportunistic.
Deep undercurrents flowing under this lunation – houses Scorpio & Taurus seek compromise.
What we Desire and what we Have.
Promises made, word given & kept.

Mars Rx in Libra opposing Venus and Uranus in Aries both grate against focal Pluto in Capricorn.

Use of Power over Time – Moving Electrical Current in Relationships.

The best relationships that last the longest SHARE power, cyclically, in constant exchange and flux.
Obviously, I know we want change RIGHT NOW, and we will be working to get it both personally and globally as Moon reaches full – but know the greatest part of this work is … silent & deadly & rebirthing behind closed doors.

I happen to LOVE Capricorn Pluto energy, I am digging this intensity and learning SO MUCH about myself and others during this lunation.

This Moon reaches full on my Neptuner
and honey I am feeling every bit of it.
Scorpio Moon all over me across vast reaches of space & time altitudes & attitudes.
You know who you are.  Hang tight.

photo 53Clarity & Insight
Bones of Nature.

A man finds an animal skull among the bushes.   Look to your Natal Saturn, reality sharpens, solidifies there with this Full Moon in Scorpio.

REALITY.

giphyHas this been your experience of Mars Rx in Libra ?
Hang on…we are almost to the turnpike. 

Mars Direct in Libra
May 19
8:31pm CST, USA

Mars into Scorpio
July 25
9:25pm CST, USA

During Mars Rx in Libra interrelations are swinging wildly from soft Venus to aggressive Mars – one minute discordant – the next harmonious.

Contemplation and quarrels of fairness and frustration and finances are fair game.  

Think of Mars Rx as a cosmic do-over, make-over from the inside out.
What are your qualities worth scrapping or saving ?
1 – Receptive yin feminine
2 – Outgoing yang masculine 
Where is the harmonious balance that lives within you ?
Do you play and work well with others ? 

Who are YOU among all the OTHERS living over in Libra ?
Have you been exploring these things, like I have ?

Mars Rx drives us to discover who and what we ARE as well as how FAIRLY we deal our deck among a myriad of Libran choices.

Here comes the healing horse (Jupiter) we can’t normally see for the blindfold and crossed swords / ideas of indecision, which of course, is STILL a choice

Jupiter trine Pisces Chiron while also trine Saturn Rx in Scorpio
All emotional water houses, diving deep into the depths will do the trick here.
Have hope, be generous, keep faith, be positive – put love and care to healing emotional wounds.

What is the insight of Mars Rx ?
Thinking with the head the goddess gave you.  
Logic, fairness and reason over time.
Don’t be hasty.
The pen / tongue is mightier than the sword.
Personal record keeping – rather than keeping score.

What is the Martian hurdle we press hardest against ?
Our personal challenges as we RELATE to OTHERS.
Perseverance is called for – rather than severity and pressuring.

Pompeii in Pink

I love Love LOVE Floyd.
You can find my interp for
Syd here.

One of my favorite things is waking up in the morning with a fresh cuppa java, listening to KQED while I read cards.  You can find KQED an hour with Floyd on the sidebar under Neptunes.

Thrillingly, David has whammy sensitive / artistic / musical water placements !

Sun and Venus (exalted) in Pisces trine a Mars Saturn Rx conjunction in Cancer.
Aries Mercury also trines Mars/Saturn, as well as Pluto Rx in Leo.
Obviously, he’s a workhorse (Mars/Saturn) in the name of art and music, (Pisces) with 5 retrogrades and heavy water placements, he hits his groove in solitary productivity.
Saturn hermits, conjunct Cancer Mars – in order to work freely, quietly without distractions.

davidgilmour4
Incredible how many artists are working T-Squares as a catalyst to creativity.
David has Mars/Saturn as focal point square Aries Moon and Jupiter Rx in Libra.
Aries Moon and Mercury is fiery fuel under all that sensitivity / creativity – head space and emotional space are  in tandem – courageous, passionate, inspired. 

Jupiter expands the exploratory creative drives of Venus ruled Libra – while conjunct Chiron Rx – he writes and teaches the wound & the healing in his music. Lyrics are compelling and magnetic with Uranus in Gemini square Sun in Pisces – Uranus cuts  straight to the universal nitty gritty lyrically, but with an inherent sweetness and hope for all life and love. (Sun Pisces)

david-gilmour-6
Gemini Uranus trines Neptune in Libra – brilliant communicator through art – both are sextile Leo Pluto which is powerful creativity, risk and play via music (Sun Pisces).
David has North Node in Gemini indicating a need to share and distribute ideas.  This is a total thinking placement, but in regards to doing so with others rather than exploring independently.

Lilith in late Scorpio is delving deep into unseen desires and with an exact trine to Venus, we have an independent trailblazing creative without a shadow of a doubt.
Mercury quintiles Uranus which again solidifies he is an inspired communicator.

I saved the very best for last !

I always knew they were sincerely playing some kind of cosmic tribute to the dead.
I have asteroid Pompeja aka Pompeii 203 bang on my natal Uranus.

David has asteroid Melpomene conjunct Pompeii in Capricorn (earth, past) exactly quintile Chiron Rx (the wounded healer) in Venus-ruled Libra.
OoOoo musical healing across timespace – gives me gooseflesh ! !

Leo rules Italy; Aries and Sagittarius rule Naples.  Pluto and Uranus rule volcanoes. In  79 AD, devastating volcanoes of that magnitude were unheard of.  I will link a doco in comments.

Look to asteroid Pompeii to see how you deal with completely unexpected circumstances that blow your mind and your world inside out.
I guarantee you having Pompeii on Uranus is a wild ride.

Everyone needs friends.
How do you find friends in your natal chart ?

Venus (friendly)
Aquarius / Uranus, 11th 
Jupiter (outgoing)

But that is not all…
Influential friends are Sun.
Long term friends become Saturn.
Friends who protect you are Jupiter.

Closest friends are 7th.
Friends of friends are 9th.

Consider how these planets are placed + aspected in your natal.
I will use myself as an example.

I have Venus conjunct Jupiter in Sun-ruled Leo 8.*
I am friendly and outgoing, but shy, private – they both square Neptune in 11.

I have Sun conjunct Uranus/Pluto.*
By Uranian surprise, I have met many influential powerful people.
If you consider fame power, that is.
Many artists, actors & musicians have crossed my path.
This is due to the influence of Venus (art) & Neptune (film and music).

Friendship is often difficult for me.
Neptune isn’t all sunshine & rainbows – Neptune is also rain, loss.
Sun is gain; but Uranus, separation.
So it goes…

My Sagittarius Mars at the backdoor, trines Saturn 3.
Long-lasting secret (male) protection.
It blows my mind inside out sometimes, but it IS true.
Don’t bother asking – private.

Look up these planets in your natal….what friends do you see ?

I was nominated for an Earth Goddess award by my new friend Linda here.

Many thanks for the inclusion, here are my answers…

Fave color is dirt.
Specifically red dirt found out in the 4 corners.
tumblr_m1nn2tEqK21r81c8do1_1280Fave phrase rolling off my tongue is…

Lumber

Fave animal I wrote of here, though I see them all as totems & messengers.
Fave drink discovered by goats.
Fave pattern changes as often as I do, today’s is here.
Giving or receiving ? Being a multi-Virgo, I prefer to give.
I love all numbers, vibrations, each has something to teach.
My fave day of the week is the one I am not working; flower is here.
My passion you read here day in and day out.

Working two jobs I just don’t read many other blogs.
I am too busy doing my own writing, client work, finding a spare moment to breathe.
It is fair to say the energy is long term & circular with these peeps.

This is the spirit card aka crux of the cross/sitch/whateves + so apt for my ? !

WTF was all THAT about ?
Humdinger Cross + eclipses, for me were – Crazy on steroids ! …and you ?

8 cups leaves all that shizz behind, is ch-ch-ch-changes in spades.
Load up what’s left of your sanity and move on. 
True that. 

So the answer that delivers the insight we don’t see yet…?
photo 48Five of wands is squabbles – beating the dead zombie with its own leg bone over and over and ovah – then dragging the dead fuq awhile and beating it some more – just for good measure.  
Is it dead yet ?
BAM BAM
It is now.

What is calling (obviously) is – what IS important to you ?
Do we win the battle, but lose the war ?
Only you know the answer.

Rob of Winterfell comes to mind here – obviously, he should have kept his promise.  He should have been an Oathkeeper. (Game of Thrones ref.)
Part of playing the Game of Life is knowing when to walk away and when to run. (Gambler ref)
Know your opponent – esp.  when that opponent is your shadow side.

Promises are Neptune – Moon into Gemini delivers insight into what we have promised ourselves via square to Neptune.  
How we have maintained those vows or how we have in fact, broken them.

Jupiter in Cancer is trine Saturn Rx in Scorpio – water to water – strong emotional bonds are formed when we are honest, open – with each other, and with ourselves.

tumblr_msfe19bqGm1rzadffo1_500Fool is fresh, unblemished and new.
WIDE OPEN and ready to learn through new experiences.
Keep your enthusiasm and let Gemini Moon trine Mars Rx in Libra work for you – they will bubble UP the insights from the Think Tanks.
You may be surprised what surfaces that helps you achieve the love and balance you seek.

peace
