seat of the shamans

Quick read, tons going on at the mo.  Last night I watched Game of Thrones with a friend who is kind enough to wait for me to arrive on Mondays so we can watch it together.
Ok.  So I watched that, then Blood Moon.  Yee gads.  creepfest.

Doing a quick read for the short term energies up to bat.
Long term: Full Moon dissipates to New Toro Moon Solar Eclipse at 8 Taurus on April 29 while Uranus square Pluto perfects on the 20-21 at 13 degrees.
Short Term: Moon in Scorpio coming to trine Neptune in Pisces, Venus in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer, Chiron in Pisces before it conjuncts Saturn Rx.

Waterworks, research, fine tuning our feelings via some deep digging, personal reflection.

Intent: Most insightful direction that leads to our highest manifestations of these trines.  Working those well is the key to helping us overcome a sky full of Cardinal Cross.

25 – Three-Fold Riddle aka Seven
Seven is an intellectual, metaphysical number that symbolizes choice and spiritual development; ruled by Uranus.
Discrimination: This card is Air/Swords, which Scorpio knows all too well with its traditional ruler being Mars, the blade.
Identity is secret, they represent growth done in secret.  (3 is Jupiter)  Their clothing is akin to spirit flesh taken on to dwell on the earthy plane.  They are Guardians of the Great Illusion.

Humans seek enlightenment, research karma, metaphysics in order to understand the meaning of life.  Where do I belong, why am I here, what do I do, etc…
Finding the answer to this riddle is an individual process, a spiritual quest, a shamanic path only you walk, only you know.  Look into the depths of your unconscious mind; be open to emotional answers coming in waves.
Later, assimilate with practical Saturn on board alongside prior to New Moon.

44 – Heart Drop aka Eight; Eight is ruled by Mars, it is a number representing power, strength, effort, success and regeneration.  Eight is a number of leadership, management and accumulating wealth.  Mars Rx in Libra decides relationship directions, deftly pruning the out of synch,  privately.
This card is Water/Cups which again indicates the need for processing and regeneration of the heart/love space as we balance two eclipses in TWO VENUS RULED SIGNS.
From the third eye rubies fall representing the distillation and crystallization of the mystical on the earth plane.  Integrating both Male and Female principles is the alchemy of these eclipses involving Moon (yin) and Sun (yang).
Realization of the power of the heart as the seat of wisdom.
Very plainly on the menu as Venus and Neptune and Chiron are in Pisces healing up our wounds with the help and faith and optimism of Jupiter alongside in Cancer.

Make this Scorpio moon work for you – DIG DEEP into heartspace.
Answer your own riddles.

Fushimi Inari Taisha is a shrine dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice. Tens of thousands of these gates form a path that winds through a forest and up Mount Inari. The gates themselves are typically donated by businessmen – who pay upwards of thousands of dollars – with hopes that it will bring them good fortunes.

Okay, so I know diddly about Japanese mythology, but low and behold, there is an asteroid for this god.  Sometimes Inari is depicted as an old man on a bag of rice,  others, a young woman on a fox. more here

Asteroid Inari 1532

Inari is the offspring of the impetuous storm god, Susanoo.  Inari is protector of rice cultivation, who furthers prosperity and is worshiped particularly by merchants and tradesmen.  Inari is patron deity of swordsmiths and is associated with brothels and entertainers.

Inari is currently at 4 Libra.

Eric Montfort  + More amazing terraces here

I have Inari conjunct MC / Mercury from the 9th in Libra which is interesting considering in a past life I was available for the highest bidders only.  (Venus/Jupes 8th !)

I do love sifting through the natal for these tidbits.  One life, I was a witch burned at the stake; another, I was an artist of royals who was killed by a jealous rival.  Every time I became known, recognized – I was killed.  Sun/Uranus Pluto much ? ! … and I thought it was just my biggie shy Neptuner.  Nope.

I mention all this is because I am having a nodal return.
As if Pluto Rx on Moon degree, Full Moon Eclipse, whack Saturn/Neptune transits are not enough to process, lol.
SN on NN, vice versa.  Bang on !

Explanation of Lunar Nodes here and here.

North Node transit North Node – all pistons firing forward growth, situations culminate and destined meetings clear the path for you.  People incoming that help guide you, assist you in reaching your life goals. Approximate ages: 19, 38, 57, 75
If you are on the ball at 19-20, hey right on.  Most people get into the nodal groove at 38 after they have played out their younger years and are ready to get serious.

North Node transit South Node – doors to the past close via your future beckoning you.  Concrete decisions in the now force closure of past events. Cohesive clarity of talents and contributions.  Understanding what benefits personal growth, leaving behind that which does not.  Yes, help from others that makes these choices ring like bells.  Approximate ages: 9, 28, 46, 65

Note: Nodes are points, not planets, so they may be missed if you are not aware of them.  They are not like planetary energies gnashing via transits, rather they are an open door to walk through or not.
I can tell you I have definitely felt a tonnage of closure recently, due mainly to the work I have done here at GMA, including synchronicity out the wahzoo specifically regarding past events.  N Node on S Node (vice versa) is most definitely a cosmic weigh station, the check UP, the check IN and Move It On Up vibe.

Live Long and Prosper

outside the box

Eclipses. 
RESPECT !

Eclipses interp here – Power Steering.

Like many, I am having one hell of an eclipse ride, and yes, I have a few choice words to add to the celestial gumbo.  Moon IS in Virgo, after all.
I am finding my voice, becoming stronger.

Astrology is the best tool for understanding wtf is going on with me & you & everybody else.  Above and beyond the clarity it delivers as an intricate personal life map, astrology delivers amazingly profound insights into how & why people approach life differently.  Any expectation of similar reactions between any two people becomes decisively idiotic when one is intimately familiar with the myriad of astrological variables.

Trust – Virgos LOVE being intimately familiar with a myriad of variables.

Asteroid Logos 58534 – Logical, rational, reasoned discourse.  Data, variables, weaving sacred patterns, shamanic distillation, extraction or assemblage.
currently Logos Rx at 28 Virgo (at the nodal degree)

I had yet another eclipse deal breaker moment earlier this evening.
I think outside the box, do my own thing, which is not often appreciated, or accepted.
Pfft. Fuckit.  I’m done.  It has been a loOong time coming.
FiveFiveFive on the clock when I left work + a nanosecond after my circuit breaker finally blew, Ganesha popped off the wall.  BOOM

That brings me to something else, my writing.  The circuit breaker I am referring to above is my brain – I know my writing sometimes throws a tangential curve.  Phrases drop into my brainpan via Saturn Aries 3 trine Sag Mars quintile Uranus 9 + Merc MC quintlie ASC.  Many times I have heard that I have said the exact word/phrase called for in a reading that confirms, clarifies, is the catalyst for change.

These phrases from the multiverses are triggers meant to shift your perspective.

I don’t and won’t write ponderous prose pieces with corners tucked so tight you can bounce a quarter to the ceiling.  I don’t slip chocolates under your word pillow or give you the tit.  My writing style is Aesop’s, Cliff’s Notes, Dynamic Ditty.
Countless times what I write is correct at the backdoor, only to disappear/change via strange computer blips upon public post. (Sun/Ura/Plu 9)  I don’t like it, but I live with it, I am the unapologetic Queen of Edit.

Next full disclosure – I cover addiction astrology here at GMA for a reason – I am one.
Classic Venus square Neptuner issue + when you toss in biggie-size Jupiter…well it ain’t pretty.  Several months ago, someone said something that pissed me off, triggered something else that pissed me off and next thing I know, deamon brew has me by the throat again.  I was doing all I could to fix the sitch privately without a win.  It sucked. 
Then my catalyst walked in, recalibrated my headspace – cold turkey, just like always.  Eight weeks out today.

Speaking of deamons and Archangels, I have no qualms about using both decks side by side.  Why ?  I know my shadow side – I don’t live there – but I know it.  Those who refuse to look are (as my old therapist used to say) frosting the turd.
I have far too much Scorpio for that. + I am a multi-Virgo intimately familiar with a myriad of variables.
Love and light decks lean too far to the saccharine, equate the devil to a bad day, 10 of swords to oops ! the unicorn fainted – while some deamon decks are too far entrenched in the negative abyss, the devil becomes spirit possession in need of exorcism, 10 of swords becomes serial killer rampage.

My intent as Divenusian is to uncover the truth – plain and simple.
I use each deck as a foil to the other.
Part and parcel of Libra MC.

Planet: Moon

Forneus teaches the knowledge and understanding of languages and tongues, the art of rhetoric.  Being a worthy and honest opponent leads to a good reputation, makes one beloved by foes as well as friends.
His totem beast is a sea monster, signifying deep knowledge and understanding of the subconscious, including the shadow side – the faults we prefer to disregard, but which trip us up when ignored.

cups overflowing

Posted on by

YemajaYemaja is the Nigerian Goddess of flowing water, bringing luck and fertility – her name means fish mother, hence the net for luck during fishing season.
Brazilian goddess Iemanja is the spirit of the ocean, bringing foresight, divination and psychic abilities.   Yemaya is the Yoruban Orisha, Goddess of the living ocean, source of all rivers.  The amneotic fluid inside the mother’s womb is also a sea where the embryo must transform and evolve (through a form similar to a fish) before becoming a human baby, in this way, she is Mother of all.

OlokunJames C. Lewis

Olokun is patron Orisa of the descendants of Africans that were abducted during the Transatlantic slave trade, aka The Middle Passage, or Maafa which means great disaster in Swahili.  This Orisa’s name is dervived from Olo (owner) of Okun (oceans) and can be called on to assist with future visions and enduring hardships with patience and grace.

Olokun is patron of unfathomable knowing – spiritual quests across lifetimes, psychic abilities, dreaming, meditation, mental health and water based healing. Olokun is one of many Orisa known to help women that desire children.

Venus in Pisces

Venusian cups overflow in Pisces.  
They are compassionate, genius artisans, sensitive to vibrations and highly intuitive.
Venus attracts – in this sign she attracts musicians, artists, poets and creators that spin their rich fantasy lives into magnificent manifestations on the material plane.

Venus in Pisces transcends, often through a painful process of separation from others.
Pisces naturally inclines to inclusiveness, leading the love sensitives to full immersion in murky waters of over-dependency or co-dependency.  They attract mysterious mystical partners who tend to be elusive themselves.

Hopeful romantics seduced by ethereal beauty of people and lush experiences, Venus in Pisces is often the martyred patron saint of doomed relationships.  They are born with rose-colored glasses, seeing love in everything and everyone – devastated if that love is not returned equally.  Choice of partner is of the utmost importance for this Venus placement – for they will unconsciously absorb many qualities and traits of their partner.

This tendency to immersion experiences is the tipping point for many Venusians in this sign.  Loss of boundaries and the incoming rush of feelings and vibrations from others is heady and intense, but often leads to a need to numb the senses when the noise outside of oneself becomes too overwhelming.

Here is where Venus in Pisces falls and rises like the tides with the feeling moon.
When seclusion is needed, silence craved, they can often mistake alcoholism, drugs, dependency on anything that stops the tidal flow of sensitivities as a good solution.

Tender psyche, feelings need poised reflection  +  boundaries set.

Forgiving others comes all too easily – devotion to forgiving oneself needs cultivation.
This placement of Venus also is known to have very strong angels guarding and protecting them throughout their lives.
When vibrating high qi – this placement of Venus is extremely compassionate towards all people, particularly the underdogs living in poverty without hope.  Here, in Pisces, this Venus rises and shines brightly – the light bearer for the spiritual sun – they excel at helping those less fortunate, for they see the beauty and grace behind the eyes of all earthkind.

gets brains storming

Nothing has greater power than an idea whose time has arrived.
Victor Hugo

Mercury in Aries

Mercury rules the brain
Hemisphere rulership is split 
Mars rules left hemisphere – Analytical
Mercury rules right hemisphere – Creative

Mercury in Mars-ruled Aries cuts to the chase.
It thinks on the fly – the highly analytical revolving door of ideas spins like a top in this sign.  Like most fire signs, they tend not to filter.  Words pop out in fits of passionate interchanges, they keep the communication superhighway HOT.

Driven by a need to be THE FIRST to say, think, + lay tread on new intellectual roads, they are adept at speed.  Speed reading, speed pattern recog + connects, Mercury in Aries is an enthusiast of IDEAS rather than a philosopher who ponders them. (Sag)
Genius extroverts, they get brains storming – then ditch that idea for the next new thing.

Aggressive speech, thought is due to the Martian influence – witty banter brings out their best game.  Mars is the blade, after all.  Negotiation, sharing of thoughts, seeing other perspectives is hard for this impulsive, ego-driven Mercury placement. They are impatient, but have lively minds full of sudden insights and flashes of fired-up clarity.  They make great life coaches full of inspirations, quips.
Mercury in Aries is adept, agile with advice on how to GET MOVING + DO IT !

Man ready for power of spiritual insight/transformation via ritual sacrifice.

This card is reminiscent of the Lakota Sun Dance.
An abundance of angles rather than a cacophony of curves.
Odd, that.  A personal message/bolt from the blue.
I saw this card – right away I thought of A Man Called Horse, you can watch it here in comments of Metamorphoset.  Then I thought of Jupiter of course, which rules horses + this is the Year of the Wood Horse.

This Anima card is 9 – Soul Saturation – a culmination, a reckoning.
It looks like the Hanged Man from another perspective, yes ?
A leap of faith – a test of personal endurance.

My most recent epiphany was a past life reading given with 3 cards.
Strength
Ace Cups
Sun
I laughed out loud !
My Leo (Obv. lion + sun ruled) 8th house Venus Jupiter BANG ON.


Crux: this life was me returning with many of the same obstacles I had last liife as a female Caribbean slave, who died young fiercely independent despite chains.
Now in this life I endure similar obstacles that reveal and test my inner strength…
Only from a completely differing perspective.

Work out how you can alter your perspectives during Cardinal Cross, make a change for the better – see clearly – RISE ABOVE.
