Mama Bear


Where are houses Aries/Cap in your chart ?
Juggling here for sure – surprises incoming from house Aries as well.

If you feel cranky and overworked, it is normal.  Moon grows to full (incoming info in house Aqua !) while Mars moves to oppose Pluto.  Power all over the shop – so pick your battles…the water trine alleviates tension and eases emotional flow.

Monday 22
Venus into Virgo
7:41am

Sun into Leo
10:56am

Full Moon in Aquarius
1:16pm
CST, USA

Sun will move to square Saturn when it enters Leo on Monday the 22nd – yes, work stress will escalate, and authority and the urge to achieve and solidify goals will as well.

Venus into Virgo will oppose Neptune, and square the houses of think, so try to refrain from mentally re-hashing what led to love, money and or vanity troubles and instead dive in and work in order to ease them.
Goal set – eyes on the prize

Moving on to more Cancer stuff.
Meet my recent Goodwill acquisition (below) for 4 bucks.  People were commenting all the way the door about it – whoa – where did you find it…and my fave find is …freaky caterpillar food tray…etc.  fun !

Useful is Saturn – useful and common is Jupiter – which may explain why I have a record of weird/cool Goodwill finds.
Saturn Rx in Aries (being first to spot the useful) trine Mars (in Sag, luck) which quintiles (strange talents) Uranus (uncommon oddball outta where/when weird).
Example.

She’s a Mama Bear Rattle
Very Merc stationing ~> with Mars conjunct Jupes in Cancer
Merc is air
Mars Jupes is the BIG fire power behind it

She is a Mama Bear of the Haida tribe, and this is her story…

Two young lovers met and fell in love, but were forbidden to marry for they were of the same crest.  They escaped to live in the far away wood, and did so happily for some time until her lover returned to visit their tribe.  He was imprisoned and did not return to her.
She travelled to find him, but in downhearted despair, she fell to rest under a tree where the Chief of Bears found her.  Chief of Bears took her to live with him as his wife, making every effort to bring her happiness.  She lived with bear as his wife for many years, and bore him two sons.

After time, her young lover returned for her, but she had two young children she did not wish to part from.  She instructed tribal members how to sing the song of the Bear Chief so they could retrieve her children.  Anyone who can sing the Song of Bears will have their everlasting friendship. source

I have taken a fair maid from her Haida friends as my wife. I hope her relatives won’t come and carry her away from me. I will be kind to her. I will give her berries from the hill and roots from the ground. I will do all I can to please her. For her I made this song, and for her I sing it.

When her sons grew to manhood, one choose to live with the Haida tribe, the other choose to return to the bear clan and live with his father.
Over time, the stream that runs near mama bears tribal grounds grew to a large river, filled with salmon.

Lenormand Revolution

Leo Venus square Scorp Moon energies
Just a quickie read over lunch highlighting
How to best deal with this aspect.
::::::::
In my head I was thinking
 trads hand in hand with mods
:::::::::::::
many cat fights lately
kitties and peeps
(yes, broke up another last night between Johnny grey and black)
::::::::::::::

Venus rules Libra – friends & open enemies – she is in Showy Leo
 Moon in Scorp – emo submarine depth charges – MY Power
squares force inner transformation
::::::::::::::

 deep struggles of what & how to USE
 coupled with DESIRES to be either first, or right
or BOTH
seems the epitome of
eccentric Uranus in gung-ho Aries
square
metamorphic Pluto in stodgy Capricorn
::::::::::::::::
Now the read:
Heart at the center – puurrfect 
Leo rules the creative heart; Venus gifts (bouquet)

Natural talent meets stubborn confusion.
All hinges on emotional investment, repetitive action
via
long-term heartfelt commitment towards goal.

::::::::::::::::::
Astro take:
Clouds (Neptune, divination -or parting the fog) over long term (Saturn obstacles aka climbing, learning) will lead to creative pinnacle after much work.
Moon is emotional investments (work Lenormand).

:::::::::::::::

Herstory + instinct + hard work = gifts only experience can deliver.

::::::::::::
Hope still remains while the company is true.

say Grace.

Mesmerizing Grace Jones.
I was transfixed as a teen by her stunning individuality and provocative presence. I read, watched everything I could get about her then, and I still have a pic of her from an old Creem mag from ages ago – and obviously Zula was a win for Conan freaks like me.  When I saw this cleverly caustic video ripping corporate culture, I had to look up her deets !

Taurus Sun and North Node; Libra Moon/Neptune – Venus co-rules both signs – so yes incredibly artistic, knock-out gorgeous and with Venus in Moon-ruled Cancer, she is all woman, very feminine.

Yet Grace possesses such an unusually innovative femininity.  Mercury conjunct (its higher communication octave) Uranus (the unique) in Gemini while trine to Libra Moon/Neptune delights !  – delivering an edge of rebellion and a revolutionary approach to conventional, traditional beauty.  Gemini thinks about Libra balance; tinkers and tweaks the thought processes of the public re: image. (Moon, Venus)

Grace exudes refined intellectualism (Mars in Virgo as well) coupled with the rolling thunder sensuality of her Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Leo aka. formidable willpower to transform through artistic creativity.

Mercury/Uranus opposite Jupiter in Sagittarius (sign it rules) is pushing the edges, the awareness of boundaries (gender, race, power) exploring the philosophies of people and the inter-relations between them on both a personal and global scale.

Grace has Jupiter in Sagittarius – both rule the legs and thighs.
BAM !  GAMS !

Skill

Wildwood Tarot

This card carries the vibration of North Node in Scorpio.
I wanted to know what we should focus on that would produce the most insight, the best most benevolent outcome for all.
:::::::::::::::::::
Eight of Stones – SKILL – Earth

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
.

Those born with eight life path are inspired visionaries who tend to focus on structures and long-term goals.  They naturally seek positions of influence, being good team leaders and a good judge of character.
::::::::::::::
This is the apprentice to master card – the card of work and perfecting that work.
The hand glyph represents The Maker.
Interestingly, hands are Mercury ruled, something to ponder as the octaves of communications are in flux.  I work with my hands when my mind wants to get me into trouble.  I have Merc MC & Gem on the 6th, I love to work with my hands.

(out of shadow 2 weeks later)

 Practicality is highlighted with Saturn in Scorpio as part of a Grand Water Trine with Neptune Rx, Mars/Jupiter.  Trines are fabulous harmony – yet they require work and skill to be highly successful.
Moon is nearly conjunct Saturn in Scorpio, pondering Emotional Practicality is a key to open doors of insight.  Apply the same practicality to home, family – streamline.
USE your tools wisely.
heh.  Make of that what you will.
North Node is where we need to focus to create our future path…
It is the satisfying struggle rather than the idle complacency of South Node.

Wrote about this before here.
::::::::::::::::::::::::
A bit to add to it – stress and tension re: feelings via others is escalating via Mars meeting up with Jupiter in Cancer at 4 degrees – opposing the energies of Pluto in Capricorn while Uranus squares both.

Aka:  Big feelings, memories, restriction, release and transformation of the old while heading for the new.  Uranus Rx is a full stop turnaround to re-think what direction we want to plow towards to create the new NEW.
Uranus knows  – we already know where we need to go.
Coming to grips with how to get there, is another matter altogether.

Home (Cancer) Work (Capricorn) and Self (Aries)
in flux while we figure it out.

Cardinals like to keep it moving, so revolutionary ideas about style of competition and personal identification are likely to be popping UP fast and furious.  Ride it out.

Mercury direct in trine to North Node in Scorpio – gaze deeply into your eyes, into the well of your psyche.  Feel your desires, your soul.   Your instincts will guide you true.
High qi – be it light !

Mars moves to meet Jupiter in a Grand Water Trine with Saturn and Neptune Rx  – everything at 4 degrees will feel the energy voosh UP a notch.  This aspect strengthens as the end of the week nears and the conjunction grows tighter to exact on the 21st.

This is a fabulous time to be bold and express yourself, though yes, the octaves of communication are in flux, Mars meeting Jupiter is Grand Passionate, ACTION with a flair of enthusiasm and broad stroke of LUCK.

sharply defined barrier

The brain – in particular the left-side linguistic/logical part, that which generates our sense of rationality and the feeling of being a sharply defined ego or self – is a barrier to our higher knowledge and experience.

Certain members of the scientific community who are pledged to the materialist worldview, have insisted again and again that science and spirituality cannot coexist.

They are mistaken.

The unconditional love and acceptance that I experienced on my journey [NDE] is the single most important discovery I have ever made, or will ever make.
