whistle work

Posted on July 11, 2013 by Gneiss Moon

Moon into Virgo
5:12 CST, USA

Moon currently in late Leo, Mars in late Gemini.
Ideas born rapid-fire from the brainpan.

When emotional Moon meets the sign of Virgo, details become paramount and creative play manifests into creative work, with a sextile to Saturn in Scorpio and a trine to Pluto in Capricorn.

Grand Water Trine greases (Neptune, rules oil) the intuitive, emotional gears while Mars in Gemini dexterity funnels the intellectual into the material with an out of sign trine to Saturn in Scorpio.

Mars void until it powers into Cancer at 8:22am CST, USA on Saturday 13th. Do not poke the bear, maintain zen normality.

Whistle while you work.
Very Virgo – whistling is Mercury.

Saturday 13 Mars into Cancer; Saturday 20 Mercury Direct in Cancer

Mars dives into Cancer into a Grand Water Trine on a Virgo Moon (daily routine) with Mercury (rules Virgo) in Reset Mode.
Mars will conjunct Jupiter in Cancer, trine Neptune Rx in Pisces and Saturn in Scorpio.

Mars is action; Neptune divination (dowsing); Saturn TIME; Moon INSTINCTS; Virgo practical daily magic, ROUTINE.

Mars in Cancer is Cardinal Water Action– that means Water Crashes, Flows, Falls, Rises. Energies of Mars + Cancer INITIATE – conjunct Jupiter =
BIGTIME INTENSE INTUITION & INSTINCTS

Water flows around obstacles, freezes and cracks bedrock, heats into steam and rises into the air.

Something has been on my mind – why can’t people trust their own instincts ?
Honestly, it drives me nuts !

This of course comes from a rebellious self-taught Virgo Sun-Uranus-Pluto in 9th house of expansion perspective. History yes, I AM Saturn Rx ruled after all – I get it.
Get the facts, know your product – build the foundation and work UP.

Witness GMA.
Thank you.

What is bugging me is . . .
Lately I have repeatedly witnessed the clamouring cacophony of: I need THE book, the secret formula, the secret diary of the Sacred Sibyl signed in blood and rubbed with wart of toad so I can ‘get IT‘. Gimme the Cliff’s Notes – NOW.

Ridiculous.
If you want to know how to read tarot, tea leaves, bones, stones or totems or clouds . . .
START READING THEM DAILY
Take notes and apply the sitch to your life, what comes up ?
Now YOU KNOW !

What cats mean to ME may not be what cats mean to YOU.
Dream books, tarot books – ANY books are subject to change as times change and people change.
Note: SCIENCE !
Flat earth theory ?
FALSE.

THINK.
Who wrote the first book ?
Someone in the field.
How did they learn?
They learned by – yes – knowledge, but also by PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

Mars power into the Grand Water Trine is an EXCELLENT opportunity to climb out of your usual DIVINATORY BOX and tackle a fresh perspective !
Start writing your OWN Book of Shadows to suit YOU.

You are the expert in Your life, and YOUR EXPERIENCE is unlike ANY OTHER.

SURF’S UP !!

This is fascinating Merc Rx material – REthinking perceptions !

The color blind are given an experience akin to synesthesia (sight, sound, taste and touch interconnect, co-mingle). This cyborg device takes brain processing possibilities to a new level – ultraviolet light activate !

Made possible by the Cyborg Foundation <~ click !

FYI
Mercury rules sight, sound
Venus rules the sense of color
Moon rules the environment (3rd house the everyday environs)
Neptune rules dreams

Wednesday 17th
Uranus Rx 12 degrees Aries

Saturday 20
Mercury Direct 13 degrees Cancer
1:22pm CST, USA
(out of shadow 2 weeks later)

This Mercury Uranus two-step boogie intrigues, yes ?
Houses Aries and Cancer will be getting some incoming whiz-bangers.
Octaves of communication in square – and moving – that means tension SNAP !

Internal obstacle courses, stress that aggravates (Aries) and flares personal competition drives in even the most placid Grand Trine Waters.

Fascinating.
Uranus stations Rx as Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are all at 4* degrees forming a Grand Water Trine.

Whatever washes ashore with this two-step will be bringing stability in one form or another. No. Strike that – more than one way and or form as we are dealing with Uranus.
Two halves that equal ONE.

Intent of the Sacred

Posted on July 8, 2013 by Gneiss Moon

Hi all
Quickie read for astro energies.

Lennies (3 at the top) are for the Saturn Rx lessons – Titania’s Fortune Cards
Bottom left is Zombie Tarot, it is the energies of Pluto (which loosely opposes planets in Cancer)
Bottom Right is Book of Shadows Tarot, left being Merc Rx; right being Uranus (nearly Rx)
(Mercury Rx is moving to square Uranus)

Wednesday 17
Uranus Rx In Aries at 12 degrees
12:20pm

Past complications revolving around a sharp intelligent woman are as yet at a slow standstill – revelations are forthcoming – fast, straight to the point, new info will transform the situation completely.

Karma is indicated by Justice – keenly appropriate since Saturn and Pluto are in mutual reception – high qi trade of energies. Payment of debt, restoring metamorphosis to any and all Scorpio & Capricorn matters.
Death – Life – Rebirth. The great leveler.

Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Scorpio are operating divine justice for all.

Mercury Rx in Cancer pulls us to fixate on those energies we find stable – home and family, where we recharge.
Rocks, stones undergo long-term pressure and become conduits of energy, four of earth holds reserves of power. Conservation, preservation, renovation of tribe think/feel in order to move forward clean.

Uranus (soon to be Rx) is The Circle, the Intent of the Sacred (Uranus is the higher octave of Mercurial thought). Retrograde Uranus will firm personal (and universal) boundaries of energies (Aries, Mars).
This is the enlightenment card akin to the hangman.

Find your space, gather tools (think Saturn Rx and what you learned then) consecrate your temple altar, focus, ground yourself, be in the moment. Breathe. . .
Invite enlightenment into your circle of energy.

Cat Women

Posted on July 7, 2013 by Gneiss Moon

Meet new black kitty.
Gorgeous, still very skitterish around me.
Grey kitty warmed up first.
Food lady is nice.

Seems cat dreams are in the air of late…I dreamed of a herd of cats at my mother’s house, I picked a blue one. Then soon after a reader commented about her dream of a black street cat – so this cat post was born. Yes, another cat post. Venus IS in Leo after all.

Astro cats
Toradh

Check out my previous post about Norse goddess Freia, asteroid 76. Two sacred cats (gifts from Thor) pulled her Valkyrie chariot onto fields of battle where she collected men slain in war. She is the goddess of love, a powerful protectress, a nature deity.

Bastet, or Ubasti, Egyptian cat goddess is asteroid 4257. Ubasti is the warrior goddess who protected the lower Nile, the Pharaoh and Ra (Sun God). She has been called upon since the Second Dynasty for blessings of fertility and protection from thieves. She is also associated with scent, or pleasant ointments. When her temple was excavated they found the mummified remains of over 300,000 cats. Bastet is the mild eastern sun associated with spring. Her name comes from the root bes, meaning fire. She embodies qualities of both the sun and moon – she draws opposites together.

Ubasti in the natal is a place of fertility, sensuality, sexuality and it is where you are a fierce protector of that which you hold sacred, particularly family and home.

Check out asteroid Sphinx 896. The Sphinx is a keeper of secrets, a guardian with the body of a lion, the wings of a griffon (in Asia), and the face of a human. The Sphinx posed riddles to travelers on the road to Thebes, if they answered wrong, she devoured them.
Sphinx in your chart is where you must face challenges, where you guard yourself, your life. Sphinx is also where you guard secrets, mysteries and knowledge which will only be revealed as the time is right. Those of you familiar with Edgar Cayce know the Hall of Records is reportedly buried under the paw. More here.

Gorgeous image, yes ?
Egyptian lion goddess Sekhmet is asteroid 5381. Sekhmet is a destroyer goddess, derived from sekhem, or power, and khem which means dark chaos that gives birth to light.
In the natal chart, Sekhmet represents the transformation of death into wisdom and enlightenment – she is the scorching sun, she is the renewal gained from suffering, the fire that burns the enemy. She is healing through death and rebirth akin to Plutonic and phoenix energies. She is power, magic and strength.

This image amuses me, my 8th house Leo stuff squares biggie Neptuner on 11th.
I have a plethora of ye olde skool dream interp books, most of which harp on about how cats are bad luck which I don’t buy for a second.
If you like cats, they are good friends, allies and totems – then dreams of them brings good luck. To my fancy, dreaming of cats indicates Leo stuff such as positivity, self-reliance, creative problem-solving, romance, fun and BIG LUCK.

Curious cats, Sphinx is conjunct my Moon, opposite Sekhmet & Bastet which conjunct my Neptuner.

peace out kitty cats

This is the sunshine and rainbows portion of the post. Isn’t she pretty as the sunshine warms her skin, the memories are wonderful and bring a sweet smile of remembrance.

Grand water trine with this new moon in Cancer, highlighting emo tides re: family, mothers, women, home and wherever Cancer lands in your natal chart.

Self-propulsion is active, though subtle and not necessarily evident as it is mostly happening in the intuitive, psychic channels. Chapters of life, stories and memories are washing ashore. . . tides slowly lapping or waves rolling and crashing. Both, most likely as it is with water ::: now you feel it, now you don’t ::: lunar equals fluctuations.

Strong struggle, diving deep into the well of psyche is evident with Pluto opposite in Capricorn – though shedding the skins of the past (Saturn) is supported by the buoyancy of emotional flow – in others words – we don’t get stuck in the quagmire, we flow like water.

Cardinal signs feel the tension, particularly those with planets at 16 degrees. Mercury Rx is riding the surf with New Moon (also in Cancer) indicating another turn inward, going quiet to deal with metamorphosis.

Jupiter in Cancer is hugely productive, abundant and optimistic. Free-wheeling touchie-feelie expansion of global family is waxing philosophical in the well of psyche.

We are globally connected – intellectually we get it. . . now with Jupes in Cancer, it finally begins to SINK IN on a much more profound level.

This is the Plutonic portion of the post, the seedy underbelly. Those of you who like a steady diet of sugar, feel free to move along.

Cancer rules the 4th, the conditions of the womb and the tomb, hence boney baby imagery. (Saturn is bones + aging, rules Capricorn which opposes Cancer)
Cancer house indicates either the mother or father – depends on who nurtures you. When Moon is in tough aspect, blocks or friction re: emotional energy forces change.

At new moon, Jupiter (in the sign ruled by Moon) moves to oppose Pluto and Square Uranus (nearing station) while conjunct (out of sign) Mars (on the decan of Uranus) is in Gemini. Feeling & thinking are in flux – bigtime. Mental and emotional change ups are imminent – concentration on metamorphosis – changing the outdated, outworn and useless into enlightened actions on the home front and public scene are highlighted.

Moon is the tidal sway of public opinion; Jupiter is expansive higher mind.
We are more psychic, open and vulnerable when water holds sway.

Recently at my Mom’s house I got a healthy dose of the idiot box. Before you karate kick me off my soapbox, keep in mind, I confess to loving my entertainment – I have Venus/Jupes in Leo square Neptuner after all. I am all for stereo sound, IMAX, more frames per second – all of it – toss rain on me like at Rocky Horror and it’s all good !

What I AM proposing is an inquiry into is . . .

Who is baby sitting the brainpan ?

Corporate Fat Cats looking to get fatter if you toss your noggin to the wolves in front of the boob tube 24/7. Soundbites (Merc Rx) of WHAT WE LACK, what we MUST HAVE to make it ALL BETTER dominate. Venus in Leo squares North Node in Scorpio.

The sugar pill placebo – big boobs, big lips, perfect hair and mutilated faces into our old age because beauty, youth and lying is perfection while vulnerability, aging, HONESTY and diverse humanity are liabilities ?

Jupiter (far reaching advertising, global comms) moves to oppose Pluto Rx in Capricorn and I call Bullshit.

For instance, yesterday someone was telling me all about the Cannibal Cop, discussing Ramirez kicking the bucket and why women write love letters to serial killers professing undying love and popping marriage proposals.

Now it is in my brainpan.

The creep show moved in to take residence in my mind. YICK.
It fascinates, but yick.

Yes, I KNOW manifestation, quantum physics, the hundredth monkey – eyes on the positive – but First we have to recognize the problem – SEE IT before we can CHANGE IT.

Ignoring the festering wound of our fucked up cultural obsession with slebs, fame, crime and wealth is obviously not working. We are lacking alright, but it is not STUFF we are lacking – we are burying ourselves in a mountain of stuff, AND what is worse the refuse of broken stuff and STILL WE ARE LACKING.

The boob tube, in fact all corporate owned media is slow insidious poison – take part and absorb a steady diet of LIES and LACK, Creeps and Freaks.

Manipulation.

Mass (Pluto) Mainstream Media opposes JUPITER (in the sign of family).
Corporations and big Government focus on how we are uncomfortably different rather than focus on the ways we are comfortably SIMILAR.

How we are globally beautiful in our unified diversity.

Global corps walk hand in hand with greedy politicos over vast green mountains of money – trading our health and our planets health for immediate gratification and power.

We ALL NEED clean food, clean water, shelter, freedom, equality.
LOVE and ACCEPTANCE.
Peace.

Moon is the tidal sway of public opinion – fluctuation and seeping IN.
GLOBAL PUBLIC = Earthkind…and yes this includes ALL critters…

New Moon/Sun & Mercury Rx trine North Node in Scorpio – CRITICAL THINK.
Think carefully – differentiate between NEEDS & WANTS.
Think about our planet.
SEE the beauty and truth in the mirror – and in the eyes of others.
Though we are different, we are ALL ONE.

Thank you.

Please note New Moon is a time of renewal and particularly good for spells involving emotional comforts, safety, home, family, land and living conditions.
Mercury Rx and Jupiter in residence makes quiet measures BIG, writing is favored.
