Giving


This, a kind curtsy,
deep bow from my heart


my faithful readers
though you live afar

seeds whisper the wind
on my thoughts you impart…


Many, many, thanks to you.

ps. yes, more astro soon after I garden

If you could get rid
of yourself just once,
The secret of secrets
Would open to you.
The face of the unknown,
Hidden beyond the universe
Would appear on the
Mirror of your perception.

Shifting sands post-eclipse. 
w.t.f. was THAT ?

Even sent some bat shit crazy* text (only because* of intensity re: going down kicking and screaming and something re: pendulums and baby prediction) to a wrong number.
Gemini Sun square Neptuner snafu. typical.
Hilarious FOUND moment though – reminds me of Singles.
I’m burning for you Cliff

Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter  – just as court jester moves out (Mercury) the Martians move in.  Libra, Aquarians – both are grabbing the gusto of goodies via trines to benefics all over Gem shop.  Aries and Leos are on deck with opportunities sailing into port.  Sagittarians get a heap full of chit-chat from the neighbor across the street.

Mars has been plodding through Taurus – Christ, felt like digging ditches during the triple header eclipse if you ask me – but Mars powering into effervescent Gemini will be a looser, more flexible vibe.  Take that to heart, because Mars will then square Neptune in Pisces – hot as a pistol but cool inside Jedi baby.

Ahoy mates – Neptuning fork in flux at the mo
June 7 Neptune retrograde through November 13

Energies crest into high emo tides forming a Grand Water trine June 7.
Players are Saturn Rx in Scorp, Neptune Rx in Pisces, Mercury/Venus in Cancer.
Cap Pluto opposes Cancerian Mercury/Venus as apex in kite.
Mars square Neptune.
You have mail rockin’ your boat – particularly for those with planets near 11 degrees of Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Cap). Uranus is focal point of a T-Square with Pluto Rx and Venus/Mercury.

Men/Women, past/present and the metamorphosis between the two are hot and heavy emo shake downs.  Dark moon squares Chiron, wounds and the viable transformation of healing through communication of the dark depths is primo.

Saturday 8
New Moon in Gemini 10:56am
Pisces and Virgos feel a square to New Moon (Sun) powered by Mars and Jupiter alongside – power through with faith and hope, remain optimistic.  Air signs receive a breather as they step into their new phase; Sagittarians juggle what the hell happened at last eclipse while someone is in their face showing the dark side of what went down then.

under the stars

WoOoHoOo  !
80 years of drive-in movies !

A New Jersey auto-parts store manager named Richard Hollingshead Jr. cut the ribbon on the world’s first drive-in movie theater in Camden, New Jersey, on June 6, 1933.
The astro when he patented the idea, (on May 16, 1933) is a great testament to the hot Mars action that when down later in many a backseat (Saturn) across the US.

Mercury rules cars.
Neptune rules film.
Jupiter rules the great outdoors, festivals.

Virgo stellium (Mercury rules)
Mars (independent impulses, action that drives the chart) is bang on Neptune (film under the stars, space), with Jupiter (freewheeling frolic) conjunct both.

Flirty Gemini Venus squares (second base with Biff tonight..?) stellium, while Mercury trines it from sensual Venus-ruled Taurus.  Mercury and Venus are in mutual reception – they get each others energy – love under the stars ?  YES !

Aquarius Moon sextiles Uranus in Aries – drive-ins changed the future of friendship and hanging out.  North Node in Pisces – film meets the cosmos.
I love drive-ins.
Find one near you, here and please support them !

Peace
 GMA

ps.  I have Mars in Sag (my 12th house sign), Neptune highly aspected, (including square Venus/Jupes).

Cancer energies tarot reading that pulled in Gem / Uranus vibe here.

Lovely grand water trine  / kite at the mo.
Saturn Rx in Scorpio, Neptune in Pisces, Mercury/Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn.  Also above us is a T-Square with Uranus as focal planet.  Uranus squares  Pluto Rx in Capricorn and Mercury/Venus in Cancer.

Prime time for desires to go deep six (water houses signal deep endings) in the psyche. Emotions, compassion, intuitive longings and a healthy dose of daydream inspirations are bubbling up from the subconscious during dark void moon.

Clear and let go.

Relax into light trance state (Neptune rules trance – note Rx above) Alpha waves engaged – calm focus, meditative state easily tapped, serotonin level increase (neurotransmitter chemical that transmits nerve impulses – nerves ruled by Mercury & higher octave, Uranus).
Dark moon re-boot in progress,  blood flow is slightly reduced, meaning less oxygen throughout the blood stream, time for respite.

Obviously, energies in the water houses (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are navel gazing at the moment,  spiraling inward to the cosmic axis of self.  North Node of Destiny turns our focused senses to the future via metamorphosis of what we have sensed needs balance and equality from the past.  (SN Toro)

Women, mothers, nurturing are key factors in this emotional change, as Venus is in Moon ruled Cancer in square to Uranus.  Kindly remember our Mother Earth in this aspect, please and thank you. 

Communiques incoming from those you regard as pivotal and important in your life across all dimensions, times.  Check your dreams, intuitions for insights – night & day.

Thoughts POPPING in from odd places at odd times are to be noted.  Check your animal totems – be vigilant – notice what is going on around you.
Left is past; right, future.

Air signs Gemini, Libra, Aquarius change course keeping one eye on the past, think: adaptation, improvisation.  Plowing ahead requires tact and diplomacy.

Early Capricorn / Taurus (5 degrees +/- 5) in flux – opportunities to dissolve and reconfigure the underlying structures of your world via inspirational healing, mysticism, salt baths, music, poetry any and all inspired arts is primo.

Times around retrogrades are always high octane for that planetary energy.

fervent hope

Dandelion Ardent 

Odd how things work out some days.  I was in the library over lunch (found the perfect movie while idly browsing) and found a Book of Psalms with groovy old illustrations for 3 bucks.  I opened it for some Bibliomancy during a day of little to no hope and my finger went right for this:

Psalms 71:13  Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.  14: But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

Interesting.
Jupiter is square my Virgo Sun/Ura/Pluto stellium, while Pluto Rx squares Saturn Rx ruler.
  Gloom Despair And Agony On Me  Throughout the day I was feeling, let’s just say, lackluster.  Hopelessness and thoughts of suicide were rolling and rattling in my brain – let me make clear this is NOT a cry for help.  Ya dig – ?!
Just cranial investigations.

Capricorn rising tends toward melancholy, Uranus rules suicides, tr.Jupiter square my Sun (life) / Uranus / Pluto (death) was sending the vibrations. I have Venus conjunct Jupiter (both rule dandelions) in Leo 8th house (death) square Neptune (suffering) in my natal. These thoughts are nothing new for me, strong Plutonic / 8th house peeps slink over to the dark side all the time just for kicks, but the feelings about suicide were oddly keen today, so I looked up the rulership, and spent some time mulling it over.

Uranus squares / hard conjunctions to Sun (life) or malefics Mars, Saturn or Pluto can bring stressful separation (suicidal) energy to a boiling point – especially when difficult transits trigger both the natal and progressed.  Sun square Jupiter can signal a loss of faith, hope.

I am lucky to have Saturn Rx in Aries trine Mars in Sag – I don’t ever give up.  They are off to one side doing their own thing in my chart – thankfully not tangled up in the snafu going on elsewhere. I realize not everyone is geared this way, so if your despair is too great, you are adrift and lost and you need to talk to someone RIGHT NOW, dial toll free in the US 1-800-273-8255 anytime day or night. 

Following the same train of thought…later in the evening, (playing hooky from working GMA) I watched DetachmentPremise: A substitute teacher who drifts from classroom to classroom (never staying long enough to form any semblance of sentient attachment)  finds a connection to the students and teachers during his latest assignment.  Like him, they are in a life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.

Perfect transit movie.
Uranus = detachment
Jupiter = teachers, hope

Many times I have wondered what I am doing here yammering on about inspirational astro biz when my personal (?) life is far from together, but then a movie like Detachment reminds me.  Being honest about my mistakes, my struggles, means others can see themselves and their pain reflected in me – and feel far less alone as they machete their path through their own jungle.

So I keep shining – two jobs, crap transits, dark void moon or no, I am right here, fighting the good fight, doing my Jedi thang. xo
Ps. T
hanks for showing up team, you help me too.

What’s UP coming in the am after zzzz…

Sages of the Ages

:::::::::::
This opening sequence just doesn’t ever get old – love it !

My friend and I watched an epic TREK IMAX, then headed off for Games after.

This week just WoW.
Fantastic reactions (spoilers) to the Red Wedding here.
My friends pets have come to my rescue at the edge of my seat more than once – lady are you okay ?!? – particularly during Daenerys / Unsullied, and of course Sunday.

Who saw creepy dude from 2 ? episodes ago wearing the dead rodent around his neck ? …which I only saw on second viewing…hilarious costuming.
Stunning work cast and crew- stunning !

This past episode I had to let stew a bit.
Yeah, no kidding.

 Immediately evident was how a great illustration it was of Saturn Rx in Scorpio sextile (mutual reception) Pluto Rx in Capricorn while everything trundles off into Cancer.

Cancer is warmth home Mother and private family
4 – opposite – 10
Capricorn is cold hard Father political, public social climbing.

The danger during
(Mars ruled Aries) Uranus
square
Pluto in (Saturn ruled Capricorn)
is that in a Martian rush to be the first to hold power, the first to claim CLAIMS, we run the risk of cutting loose the wisdom of the wise ones, the elderly.

Move forward and cull the dross
yes
but also keep close the wisdom of the shamans and the sages of the ages.
