practical pitch

Moon in Virgo

Energy clearing is the magickal logic behind Virgo’s daily house-witchery of organization and cleanliness.  Driven by a need to analyze and perfect, Virgo focuses on improving the daily routines of universlings via health, work and service.

Virgo rules civil servants, pets and herbalists, domestication of animals for help with field work.  Interesting to note gardening is ruled by (Moon house Cancer) 4th – but the gathering of advice, tips, phases of the moon best for planting, weather lore for use by all via an almanac – very practical 6th house Virgo.

Virgo is the most likely sign of the zodiac to check in on you, lend a hand, be helpful and actually enjoy sweating the small stuff.  Multi-tasking minute details are their forte, they are able to compartmentalize and achieve many goals at once.

They tend to be perfectionists with infinite reserves of remaining calm cool and collected, though it would be wise to note, if transgressed, they will not hold their tongue.  The discerning eyes / ears of Virgo are attentive to what you do not say as well as what you do.

Virgo Moon filters everything emotional through the lens of logic and practicality.  Reserved and overly critical – feelings are subject to intense scrutiny rather than allowed to flow unimpeded by thoughts of right or wrong. 

Emotional waters of Virgo Moon are subject to churning over the gristmill of intellectual purification again and again.  Routine chores give their hands something to do while their brains wander.  Their strong work ethic is rooted in peace of mind through keeping busy.  Mercury rules Virgo, it needs to keep juggling; Moon rules fluctuation and change, both of which endow Virgo Moons with lively minds and vivid imaginations. 

Plant your thought seeds early with this one, let them sit with an idea, tend it, water it  – if it grows with the moon, you’re IN.  They change their minds frequently as new emo information crops up, be aware of this and prepare a new practical pitch from a fresh perspective, rinse, repeat.

the verse speaketh

Hilar !
Put it right out there buddy !
Leo Moon flair, confidence and check ME out  lol.

I once had a friend who argued “not everything means something”.
Wrong !
I get messages (Mercury) on the roadways constantly.
 (Saturn Rx in 3 trine Mars in 11 – high octave messages)

Once I was wondering “should I go to all 3 shows ?”
Just then, a license plate on a passing car read
Y NOT
Seriously.

Mercury Venus and Jupiter in Gemini – short distance commuting.

ps.  yes he was sexeh, I checked him out

sweet scartist

Meet the latest in library checkouts.  
9th house – sexy god / goddess thang.? 
Check !

Ton of Gemini at the mo – -Mercury just crashed the party, chatting up Venus and Jupiter while Uranus and Pluto meet up to square.

Libraries are Mercury, Gemini, 3rd house ruled.  

Those who know me best know of my obsession with oceans of books.  (My Mercury sextiles 8th; 9th Sun/Ura/Pluto Virgo, Saturn Rx ruler in 3rd; Mars in 12th sign trine 3rd) 

::::::::::::
Kat.  
Really like her style, not familiar with any tv shows, just read her books, get her vibe.
Gotta tell ya, when I read that she went into hiding after losing faith in something (yes, that dude) she put all her trust into, my heart went out to her.  
Soul Sistah.

She is Sun Pisces square Neptune in Sagittarius (losing faith, spirit; ultimately transcendence). Venus in Aquarius square Jupiter (Rx in Scorp) and Pluto indicates loving the wild children, those untamed, free spirits that deliver huge transformational experiences.  She also funnels her creativity from intense soul deep struggles she has risen above. 

Moon in Virgo can be a critical thinker, sometimes far to hard on herself re: how she feels.  Mercury in Aquarius (exalted) brilliant mind (trine Libra stellium) creating unusual art.  Mercury trines her powerhouse Libra stellium – Mars, Saturn, Pluto all Rx in Libra – hardcore rebel tattoo princess of wicked cool with North Node in Cancer – all sweetheart woman – with an unusual flair for body art.
Mars rules needles; Saturn, tattoos; Pluto, the beautiful seedy underbelly.

Kat’s art will be her constant companion and ultimate redemption.

Dray Horse

Jupiter is Expansion.
Saturn is Restriction.

Jupiter is faith, trust, enthusiastic exploration into understanding the whole world.
Saturn is discipline, limitation, sharp concentration on success via excellent work.

I have a ton of Sagittarius vibe – packed 9th, Jupiter smacked up with benefics in the house of Sun (Leo).  Yet, Capricorn is my ASC (Saturn rules) making my outlook serious, reserved – I am bound by karma (Saturn is karma).  My actions are, as are all people’s, bound by karma – but somehow it is particularly relevant to me.  (Yes, each natal shows a particular theme of Earth School Study)  The ruler of my ASC, Saturn Rx is in Aries (Mars rules) and it also trines Mars in Sagittarius – Mars quintiles Uranus, the planet that rules astrology. 

Asteroid Karma is 3811 pop it into your natal for insights.

Karma is the law of moral causation. It is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings. We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven. We create our own Hell. We are the architects of our own fate.  More philosophical karma info here.

::::::::::::::::::
My Karma is smack on my 9th house Virgo Uranus.  (Sun/Ura/Plut)
Relevant..?.. yes !  
When I began to grease the wheels of my life with astrological study, my life improved.  I (Sun) was reborn, I regenerated (Pluto).  I not only understood myself better, but I could understand others better as well.  I don’t take arguments as personally because I can read the energy signatures, be more empathetic.  My good karma is writing here at GMA, helping to guide you to the enlightenment you seek to improve your life.

Years ago when I began my strange journey, I was fear (Saturn / restriction, mind 3) based, it was my filter, my lens with which to view my world. 
Where attention goes, energy flows – my outlook and actions (the web I wove) caused far more trouble than I knew how to deal with at that time.
 Karma kicked my ass to the curb.  I had to pick up my pieces, start over and over and again while in the throes of debilitating illness (which Cap ASC is prone to).

In time (Saturn), I learned (Mercury) to be Jupiter (optimism / fire, heart in Leo 8) based.
I have excavated, picked the bones, made mental lists, compared and contrasted my brains to the moon and back trying to figure out how to change my life for the better.  I noticed everything, sought clues and connections, eventually I learned astrology and the universe began to speak to me.  I began to understand my obstacles, my strengths, and I began to work with the energies, rather than against them.

That is the past, now onto the future…

A few days ago in conversation with my Mother, I casually mentioned I am a Buddhist.
::: She hung up on me :::  
Is normal, her Scorp moon opposes mine – cuss and discuss is quite common.
I identify most strongly with Buddhism, but technically I consider myself a nature-based pagan, wiccan, et al.  I am a rebellious inclusionist (Sun/Ura/Pluto) in the house of Religion – 9, I study everything.
She is
Sagittarius ASC – Jupiter in 5 Toro.
Hmph. Go figure.
In this case, my Cap ASC – Saturn Rx in 3 Aries is far less traditional.
:::::::::::::::::::::

The Uranus Pluto square is poking the ribs of traditionalists across the board.

I see it in others, I see it in myself – even my kitties are fussing about accepting a new stray in the yard.  Card reading peeps are hotly arguing about reading styles (traditional vs. freestyle), power tripping astro-fiends are onside – esp. as Uranus rules astrology, my way is better than your way, etc….Changes are upon us and some are stressing about losing ways that used to be.
  I got news for you, everything is staying – it is only changing form.  A well-known political astrologer once wrote of her generation, ‘we survived the tumultuous 60’s’, …hmmm…I immediately thought, ‘try being the living, breathing, walking tumultuous 60’s’ – that’s a fun one, I guarantee you.

Where the masses are feeling the square, each according to their chart, those of us born in the late 60’s are getting it on a more personal spiritual (Sun) level. 
I am most certainly feeling it rather close to home.  My natal Moon trines my Virgo Sun/Uranus/Pluto conjunction – men, women; privately (Moon 4), publically (Sun 9); consciously and subconsciously.
All of it ass over teakettle at the mo.  Plus 3 lovely eclipses knocking on some personals to boot – yeeHAW !
:::::::::::::::

May 21 Uranus Pluto Square exact:
Uranus at 11 degrees Aries Pluto Rx at 11 degrees Capricorn

May 25
Penumbral Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4 degrees Sagittarius

Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius is surely a test of faith, expansion in love, money and philosophical communications with a bent toward healing via fellowship. Ego and work will be hardcore shifts on this one – strange alliances will be your emotional redemption.
::::::::::::::
This is ultimately my point –
Saturn Rx in 3, what can I say – sometimes takes me forever to get there, thanks for your patience !

Jupiter is frolicking in Gemini (with Venus) being all wild free agent, touching (yes, literally – Mercury & Venus rules touching) base with everyone.  Did your brain go there ?  Hahaa Go ahead and UNthink it now !   (You can thank me later.)

Sagittarius /Jupiter energy in the sign of thinking and communication is a fantastic remedy for working this square / eclipse shizz out.
Positively
Optimistically
Enthusiastically
Sharing & Learning
Ultimately understanding differing viewpoints, perspectives.

Jupiter unaspected is akin to Biggie Sizing the BIGGIE SIZE of all GOOD Jupiter qualities if we channel the energy correctly.
Tap it ! 
See how it feels, explore it and have fun – let your mind go love tripping with Venus.
Be positive & harm none – Be it light !

Those with a case of natal Jupiter squares (internal lack of hope, trust, abundance or faith) could learn quite a bit under this boho Jupiter…
Go on tour with it – cozy up next to the campfire and let your mind weave stories of how you SEE your shiny new future. 

SEE it, dream it, BE it.

Oh God

Sign of the times.
Venus square Neptune. 
Christ, it is an intoxicating spell to be writhing underneath love straight to the vein. 
Nothing. like. it.

Blissed-out euphoria sings and rings every cell, goose-flesh pops, skin blushes, eyes roll and convulsions of heavenly grace deliver transcendent, ecstatic revelations.

I just described an orgasm, and I also just described a religious experience.

Divinely compassionate, the inspired beauty of high qi Venus trine Neptune and Venus in Pisces is both the Love of Beliefs and also Believing in Love.  Imagine doe-eyed cooing lovers happily sailing twinkling waves into infinity on the good ship lollypop.

Venus square Neptune lovers often crash long before the peak experience.
Ideals are unrealistically heaven-set, they are prone to deception in love – both coming and going – King Illusion meets Queen Delusion stumbling drunk in rose-colored glasses, doomed to be devoted and dysfunctional unhappily ever after.

Sound harsh..?
Well, I own this one, I know it well – the stark reality is Venus square Neptune sucks.
I consider myself fairly intelligent, but ffs don’t point me at love unless you want to watch the stupid unfold, double-time.  How infuriatingly embarrassing to be a fool for love every. single. time.  Point me at love, and ya might as well pitch my brains right out the window, ’cause I won’t be using ’em.  For the record, this 9th house multi-Virgo, Mercury MC hates it, just hates it  -the idiotic love snafus I get myself into.

So what, my friends, you wonder, is the cure for Venus square Neptune ?
A stiff shot of Saturn.
Discipline.
Real work.

Makes me think of this great love – fight scene.
Two-second rebound rate.  good one. 
(from here)

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

“You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you’re a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you’re back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.”   “So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s gonna be really hard. We’re gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day.”

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Although I joke with my mother that I don’t get along with women, (Moon [women]opposite Neptune), the fact is I don’t have all that much luck with men either (Venus/Jupiter [big love] square Neptune).

Which leads me to cure number two.
Spirituality.
Get right with your Goddess/God

However you choose to fulfill this is your full meal deal, your ticket to love paradise.  Give and give and then give some more spiritual love until you pass out.
Wake up, repeat.

I have Sun/Uranus/Pluto in 9, so my spiritual tastes are a bit left of center.
Not surprisingly, I find the stigmata fascinating (astrology of saints, martyrs here).

Ecstasy and Torment
Claim and Surrender
Visions and Reality

You see the 8th house Venus/Jupes square Scop Neptune pattern, yes..?
St. Francis of Assisi is the first recorded stigmatic in Christian history.  According to Catholic Encyclopedia there are 321 recorded stigmatics in whom there is every reason to believe in a Divine action – only 41 of the 321 are men.  Interesting, yes ?

When blood from open uninfected stigmatic wounds smells pleasant (perfume is Venus) it is called the Odour of Sanctity. 
Who knew ?  Oddly fascinating. 
Venus is exalted in Pisces, so figures when ecstatics rock the stigmata, the heavenly scent rolls off ’em.

Also interesting that ecstasy (Neptune) means to stand outside of the ordinary self, Sun (self) gets a bit cuckoo weird free agent in the sign of its fall, Aquarius (miracles).
To cure Venus square Neptune we have to stand outside of SELF love and be of SERVICE to love instead.  Then the miracles start to happen.

peace

Pluto Rx at 11 degrees Capricorn

Hey everyone – ok, wow this one has been a doozy.  We are in the middle of 3 eclipses: 1st eclipse was in Scorp, 2nd in Toro, 3rd in Sag.  While the square between Uranus Pluto heats up.  Whadda ride, yah ?!

This one has kicked my ass to the curb and then some.  Pluto Rx is now grinding down on my Cap ASC, Virgo Sun/Ur/Plu and my ruler, Saturn Rx.  So I’ll be digging in and setting plenty of New Moon intentions like everyone else.  Beauty of my natal Toro Moon it trines Pluto so yeah, gonna kick the intentions / regeneration / reboot up a notch with some ritual.  Natal chart of a friend coming soon then I disappear awhile get my Queen of the Swamp on.

Venus into Gemini is chatty, bubbly, vivacious and flirty – all communications and perceptions vibe more charming, sensual and harmonious.

Savvy New Moon goals – Clear energies (plethora of energy clearing info here) during last part of dark moon prior to New Moon.

At New Moon or just after – PoP your intentions into the UNIVERSE and to full they will grow with the Moon.  Note next Full moon is in Sagittarius and that means EXPANSION of HORIZONS.  < ~  THINK BIG !  HAVE FAITH !

Sagittarius Expansion Full MoOon May 25

Emotional expansion looms large – think intuition, compassion and delving deep via enthusiastic exploration.  Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius is surely a test of faith, expansion in love, money and philosophical communications with a bent toward healing via fellowship. Ego and work will be hardcore shifts on this one – strange alliances will be your emotional redemption.

Happy Eclipsing and May the Force be with You

Other Side

Y’all know Pluto rules birth, death, rebirth right ?
BIRTH of ALL KINDS.

SoOo how y’all doin’ ?
Hanging in ok…?…
Me !?
Moon in Toro, what can I say
? cry, horror queen scream, or pitch a fit and throw things ?
Why choose ?!
Enjoy them all cause they are likely coming up and this is a good thing – clear the muck.  
Eons of muck.

The other day wrote this:
Today I add this:
House Capricorn is the Volcano – old stuff come home to roost LABOR
House Aries is the Magma – GROWTH via Plutonic pain, pain and MORE PAIN
House Scorpio is our paydirt – rebirth from the depths of death – LIFE

Pluto is the metamorphosis that entangles and fuses all of them into
a brand new shiny SHINY !
House Cap and Pluto is where we are humpin’ and bumpin’, crackin’ the whip, where the stagecoach is draggin us behind the wagon in the dirt.
OR
House Cap and Pluto is where we are digging our spurs in, riding the big comet, steering her for all we are worth.
It’s YOUR RODEO !
You Choose, always.The stars, planets, and Luminaries, asteroids and space dust influence us forward, but we all CHOOSE how we DEAL.

Lately I am getting Plutonic movie ref’s like mad.

oh, yeah…one more thing.

Don’t forget to breathe !
(Didn’t Jane Fonda drive us batty in the 80’s saying it ?)
Like we will forget.?!

…but actually when so much is coming down the pike – it IS worth mentioning.
This, I know is one of the lessons of Jupiter in Gemini at the mo.
BREATHE
