Do the Hubble Shuffle to the Big Bang Boogie – Michael Pukac
Excerpt of Artist statement : Painting is a very mercurial thing. It’s a relatively simple act that has maintained relevancy throughout time and across most, if not all, cultures. For me, painting is like a collision of concepts as much as it is a combination of skill and material. It is where the creatively abstract and intellectually complex concepts of translation, illusion, allusion, and transformation find a nexus. I crossbreed different genres, eras, and conventions of painting into phantasmagorical anti-epics. I see my work as a kind of cultural aesthetic gumbo poured into its own reality, which is dedicated to honor the creative process.
Michael says of live painting “It was the best thing that ever happened to my career.” Success Formula From Live Painting Artist Michael Pukachere.

2 Oba: Patroness of the River Oba in Africa Jealousy drove her to cut off her ear and serve it to her husband in a delectable, magickal soup. When he found out, he left her for another.

Sagittarius New Moon/Sun trine Uranus Rx in Aries with Fortuna rising smack on the regenerative 8th degree Cancer ASC trine North Node of Destiny in Scorpio. Not too shabby for a new Moon, eh ?
New Moon trine Uranus Rx in Aries delivers higher inventive mindscapes – changes ala the planet of electricity and synapses firing on all pistons. Reflections on Mars, as well as innovation re: who, what, where, when and why toAIM your Arrows ! Pluto squares Uranus from Cap – this is the time of demolition, rebuilding, fixing, solving, streamlining, dispersing. Know your w’s – – that is your intent.
Sagittarius expands, explores, opens doors of perception – Jupiter, the greater benefic, rules. Jupiter rules New Moon while Moon rules Cancer – the reception is mutual – the signal clear, crisp, co-operative. Follow your heart as well as your head.
The sign of family, females and home walks hand in hand with the sign of philosophy, optimism and hope. Sixth sense SEEs the big picture.Jupiter Rx at time of Fresh New Moon Starts clearly defines where subconscious drives have tripped us up in the past.
Higher mind moving to oppose Pluto in Capricorn, count on re-thinking past responses – honing traditional/instinctual knee-jerk responses into higher, more sensitive, globally ethical realms. Better balanced, harmonious,refined– as only Capricorn Venus can be.
Jumpstart Jupiter New Moonheals across the 1st – 7th house axis, aka self and other. While trine Saturn in Scorpio, cut to the chase never felt so good – streamlining the mind-set to highest qi is primed and powerful.
Who am I meetswhat are we in the middle of the wheel on earth.
Capricorn Venus moves to trine Mars in Virgo – this is tangible earth with a kick of perceptual conceptual Scorpionic power as rocketfuel via sextile to Mercury in Scorpio.
What relationship do you desire to transform your perceptions of ? Make it so.
Set your intention, plant your release with the new Moon or slightly after and your intention will manifest with the moon as she grows to full.
Late Scorpio Mercury is (out of sign) square Neptune /Chiron Sag New Moon/Sun are also square Neptune/Chiron If there ever was a time to shift perspectives into/onto higher realms – THIS IS IT ! We all know our trouble spots, where we fail, we are painfully aware of it – we can shift paths in a nanosecond. Just as simple as changing our mind. *snap*
Our mind and heart and imagination are at the helm, we are the Captains of our ship. This new moon mutual reception means BOTH Conscious and Subconscious selves are working together to DREAM BIG !
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.::: Marcel Proust :::
Last night I was really digging science geeks around the globe rattling off excited tweets, links, pics and debate of ISONs demise. He’s dead Jim.
No wait ! A dust trail – darn. Just a dust trail. No wait ! A tail ! It has a nucleus – ISON LIVES – YaY ! NASA confirmed late this am, unofficially tweeps were all over it last night. Nicknamed ISONANDON, Schrödinger’s Comet, it was fun stargazing/cometwatching for sure.
The icy material that turns into a gas made ISON bright as it approached the Sun, indicating ISON is a young comet. Now we wait to see how ISON grows/fades as it moves away from our sun, leaves our system, likely never to return – yet another wait and see (orbit calculations, escape velocity, etc..). Science first, astrology second – have to understand both to get a grip, if you want to skip straightaway to the interp – scroll down. Mars transit my natal Uranus ya know, I loves me some science !
Science herefrom Comet Ison Observing Campaign (CIOC). Here is theNASA clip, where you can clearly see ISON taking the curve. Are you a stargazer wanting to report first sighting of new comet ? Gohere. How cool is that ?! My Merc at MC would love to name a returning comet.
A comet needs to get within about 850,000 miles from the sun at perihelion to be classified as a sungrazer. The first sungrazing comets may have been observed by Aristotle and Ephorus as far back as the year -371. Greek historian Ephorus reported this comet fragmented into two parts. Scientists speculate this breakup seems to have given rise to two main comets, which upon the 11th century return broke again, giving rise to the sub-group I of the Kreutz sungrazers. Until 1979, only about 9 sungrazing comets had been seen, all from the ground. By 1989, 16 sungrazers had been identified – since 1995, over 1100 new comets have been discovered, of which over 900 belong to the Kreutz sungrazing group. Close to 85% of sungrazing comets follow a similar orbit, called the Kreutz Path. source
ISON is not following the Kreutz path. ! Oh, a rebel – I’m liking it !
The exact orbit of comets [on their return/presumably their initial approach as well] depends very much on what the solar system barycentre is doing at the time and this is largely controlled by the position of Jupiter and Saturn. (see discovery below) What is the barycenter ? Watch vid below.
::::
ISONs discovery was ushered in by Jupiter at 16 Gemini sesqui-quadrate Saturn at 28 Libra – as well asa T Square with 6 degree Capricorn Pluto as focal – square both Uranus Rx at 6 Aries and Mercury at 7 Libra.
Friction, agitation forcing transformation re: the past, future actions via balance of thought through love (Mercury/Libra) culminating in re-invention of action plans (Uranus). Tweaking the higher mind output/input – stilling the chatter, seeking peace of mind, (Saturn in Libra/Jupes in Gem) justice. Leo 16 Venus squared Scorpio 19 Mars on this day – with Pluto as focal in T Square – fine line justice/vengeance as well as thought/manifestation.
Mercury/Uranus, octaves of perception and communication in opposition – perceptual shift incoming from the dude across the wheel.
:::::::::::
ISON discovered Sept 21, 2012 at 29 Cancer – waxing moon in Sagittarius ISON closest to Mars, Regulus* on October 1, 2013 at 20 Leo ISONs perihelion on November 27/28 at 1-7 degrees Sagittarius interactive model here, cool visuals
*The King-Maker, Watcher of the North – linked to Archangel Raphael & divine healing. Full Regulus post ishere. ISON also passed fixed star Spica, read previous ISON post with interps for that star here.
ISON also flew by Vesta, home of the sacred fire in the belly – divine fire of creation, energy made manifest on the material plane.
With kind thanks toKim FalconerI link the fascinating Rudolf Steiner link she provides re: comet astrologyhere. Fair warning, it’s a little ‘out there’ !
ISONs discovery was heralded by a T Square with Pluto as focal, square both Uranus Rx in Aries and Mercury in Libra during a waxing moon in Sagittarius. ISONs perihelion occurred while Pluto was focal in a T-Square square both Uranus Rx in Aries and waning Moon in Libra.
Nutshell Comet message – head tempered by heart/love/harmony.
Directors cut: Clannish feelings, instincts (Cancer) born in a seed of thought (Sun Virgo) that culminated (perihelion, combust Sun – phoenix, trial by fire) into global feelings of love, balance (Moon Libra) wisdom, instinctual healing (Sun Sagittarius) via experience, acceptance, forgiveness (Venus). ::::::::::
Easter Egg:
Check Sagittarius degrees 0-7 for your light bulb Comet Moment.
Any planet/point there is your key – as well as what it aspects.
Also check your natal Jupiter (rules Sag) for more clues.
I don’t have to look too hard, my natal Mars is right there. Not sharing any more, it is between me and my friends (11).
Eleven changebreakers & changemakers, in (sort of) that order.
Here is a quote from the CIOC link above, which is suitably Sagittarian. “I just want to end on this note: not long after comet ISON was discovered, it began to raise questions. Throughout this year, as many of you who have followed closely will appreciate, it has continued to confuse and surprise us. This has unquestionably been the most extraordinary comet that Matthew and I, and likely many other astronomers, have ever witnessed. The universe is an amazing place and it has just amazed us again.”
Love this pic ! MILES of SMILES on these lovely ladies who are bursting with color and life. My Mom (Sag rising on my Mars) and Sis (Toro Rising on my natal Moon) are here early for the holiday so this pic seemed apt for a Sagittarius (world traveler) Sun.
Jupiter Rx in Cancer leads to reflection on the tribe – globally and those you hang with privately – opposing Venus and Pluto in Capricorn, the seeking metamorphosis vibration is hashed out between you and those who are of long-standing partnerships and agreements through love/money/work. Expansion-driven Jupiter moves to explore all cavities inside the shell, (re) consider, who has been witness to a lifetime of personal little deaths & little rebirths as they walk their own path beside/opposite you. A retrospective, retroactive navel gaze, if you will.
Mercury/Saturn trine Jupiter Rx from Scorpio making transmutation and reformation of feelings re: family bonds and perceptions of them possible by creating the perceptual shift in the brainpan first. Mercury sextile Venus from fixed metamorphosis to cardinal go for the gusto can create a shift in the balance for the better if you make it happen.
Sag Sun square Chiron in Pisces is philosophy of healing explored and felt high qi if done properly – find the break and reset the bone – wounded healer knows how best to heal because they are the walking wounded themselves. Let the spirit of understanding how the one side of you SEES the other side of you be your guide, your compass. Seek the shift of perception that dwells in the polarities of yourself, make friends with both then find your healthy balance.
Capricorn Venus trine Mars in Virgo – earth to earth – pure manifestation on the physical plane. Instinctive forward thrust coupled with amped up think tank problem-solving in regards to any and all relationships/bond/contracts across all time dimensions. See the patterns, organize and rally perceptual forces to streamline, usefulness mode. Venus in Capricorn desires achievement, sets goals, has blinders on while climbing – Mars in Virgo is much the same, duty-bound and detailed, anticipating tasks before they arise.
Moon moves to oppose Aries Uranus from Venus-ruled Libra – with Mars trine Venus in Capricorn – heads up you have mail – a message incoming from your past !
In closing, a hearty thank you going out to all my readers, all those who have appeared here on these pages at GMA (obviously, I dig you), also thank you to those who are yet to come, I look forward to meeting all of you. (deep bow)
Something to remember while Capricorn Venus opposes Cancer Jupiter Rx… Understand that some family/career/love situations are working themselves out via intuition, being sensitive, feeling your way in regards to finding balance with others.
Mercury/Saturn trine Jupiter from Scorpio to Cancer – water to water. Waves enough to move the boat, yet presence of mind enough not to capsize into an emo sea – transformation is calling – intensity is part and parcel of it.
Virgo Moon keeps her head, she is practical and duty-bound to improve any and all matters. She is cleaning house, doubly so as she approaches Mars late tonight.
Quickie draw for current Sag Sun sitch – intent: insight, highest outcome for all.
Sag Sun trine Uranus Rx in Aries – 6 Cups: Archangel Uriel, the patron saint of artists and the arts – keys to the subconscious unlocked by going deep into spirit self for answers. Allowing the truth within to rise to the surface – that which is unique, innovative that can only rise form the wellspring of YOU. Letting the creative spirit soar freely.
Willpower in the act of creation. Spirit giving of the heart, gifts of friendship, past highlighted as Uranus is Rx.
Sag Sun squares Neptune/Chiron in Pisces – Hermit: Hermit is a luminous being in process of assessment, contemplation and growth. The enlightened soul on a spiritual quest, carrying energy as a baton or torch of knowledge passed from one soul to another – hermit lights the way for those who also seek answers. Quiet healing and inspiration that illuminates from within, drawing down the divinations of the heavens.
Spirit Card, crux : Justice : Grounding the heavens to the earth through intellect, balance. Temet Nosce The crux between chaos and order, seeing both sides clearly.
A light heart, sharp intellect, seeing the truth. The esoteric inner vision matches the reality of the outer vision. Fairness, balance.
Sun square Neptune/Chiron while trine Uranus Rx gives us the opportunity to hone and finesse our spiritual journey via tapping the high qi inspiration of Neptune, the philosophical study of Chiron, in tandem with the revolutionary thought inventions that strike from the vibe of the electric, eccentric planet.
