The Lost Tarot of Nostradamus
His natal interp here.
Intent: clarity for all my readers bringing most benevolent outcome for ALL.

First card: What to work on Metamorphing – Saturn Rx in Scorp

Postulant of Stars
Discipline and the handling of it – this young friar is in arduous training, occasionally wants to flee but is unable.  Wants to progress, yet not seasoned enough to offer sage advice.
Saturn Rx in Scorp leads us to re-think our goals of working in service in a group or renegade lone wolf.  Fortelling tongue must be tempered with justice, balance, kindness.

Second card: How to best metamorph it – Pluto trines to Taurus

Holy Grail of Love –  Use heart energy to engage emotional, spiritual beginnings.
Fertility of all the elements – primarily water – family, home, generosity.
Nurturing growth.  Inspiration.  Transcendence.

Third card: New visions – Eclipse with New Moon in Taurus

When Venus is covered by the Sun,
Then beneath its splendor will it be hidden.
::: Quatrain IV:28 :::

A fire energy which is doubly potent as it is ruled by the astrological sun, the III of Suns is movement into new dimensions, discovery and fresh waters.  Cultivate relationships with those who support you, partner energies with their work.  Work, love, business and financial goals will grow with these bonds in place.

Crazy eclipsing here at chez metamorph moon.  Having a serious dark moon power down leading to New Moon Toro eclipse at 19 degrees info here.

19 degrees puts it near my 4th house natal moon, opposite my Scorp Neptuner, trine my Pluto … so of course animal totem steps up to the plate to deliver a message.
Crayfish ruled by Moon, Cancer, Scorpio

 Deep significance of shrooming – it’s a family (Moon) tradition, and hunting with my dad is one of my earliest memories. I’ll leave it at that.  My Plutonics know what this means to me, it involves quite a lot of Neptune and Saturn Rx as well.
You know who you are.

Balance issues are common during eclipses while fluctuations and culminations  come to a head and fade…waiting for another planet to cross the eclipse degree and add their flavor to the eclipse gumbo. Eclipses are active for several weeks before and after the time of eclipse – sometimes months.  The extent of the changes these 3 eclipses mean for each of us may not be crystal clear for some time yet…

:::::::::
Here’s the crawdaddy I spotted.
Missing one antenna that is used for tasting and touch and balance.
Spot-on for sensate Venus – ruled Toro, yes ?
Balance in flux.

Fresh water animal totem = Lunar Cycles – crustacean – hard protective shell, bottom dwelling.  Muddy emotional waters made clean, pressure likely, scavenging for revelations in the deep psyche, discovering hidden assets, raw power of regeneration. 

Note that the exoskeleton is often outgrown, so crawdaddy goes into molting stage – sheds the outgrown shell, and grows a new one. For a few days following each molt, crayfish have soft exoskeletons and are more vulnerable to predators.
Sound like dark moon lead in to an Eclipse anyone ?

Crawdaddy and I made friends, we hung out a bit, and I asked crawdaddy to show me some Scorp stuff by hanging on to a stick.  I was thinking of all the things in my past I cling to – which New Moon is calling me to release.

Eclipse energies features
Sun/Moon at 19 degrees Toro (Venus-rules), Mars at 14, Merc at 17
all loosely opposite Saturn Rx in Scorp
while Capricorn Pluto trines Mars, Mercury Moon and Sun.

Read Toro eclipse info here.

I am Plutonic, younger dude I was with has a packed 8th house including Venus cazimi, we have an exact Moon Mars conj in Toro and crawdaddy crustacean shows up – irony much ?  I can’t make this shit up.  If it’s cosmic, it’s comic !

Take stock of what to keep and what to lose – this eclipse is with New Toro Moon.

Dark Moons are times of release, which is the next few days leading up to the eclipse.
New Moon is fab for starting projects you want to grow as the moon grows to full.

Note: the next eclipse is a full moon in Expansive Sagittarius.  info here.

ps. the title includes a Helen Keller ref. – shero of mine because she overcame enormous difficulties climbing from silent darkness into the light of communication.

Hello everyone
Extremely busy, day job is in full swing as is the moonlighting.

Waning Moon in Pisces while Mars is trine Pluto Rx earth to earth – great time to renovate attitudes/altitudes – haha typo – altidudes – take yer pick !
Go for self-care, self-esteem, and re-evaluate ♥$ worth $♥. 

Saturn Rx trine Neptune calls for intuition regarding endings and rebirthings –
ALL ONE.  Everything stays, it just changes form.
Choose how and what you metamorph to create your reality.
Dream it, then BE IT – that is the gift of Saturn and Neptune working together.

We have a boatload of Taurus at the moment. 
Taurus rules the throat.
Take time to consider the vibration your voice makes in your world which ripples out into our world.

Peace

Soft Wing by Jessica M Sanders

This morning, a thank you for my lovely readers for showing up and letting me know that what I write here is helping you light your own path.  (deep bow)
A friend who contacted me directly astutely noted that through the revelations of other astro-fiends and their natal chart difficulties, learning and understanding is shared and understood by those who are on the same vibration, wavelength aka similar planetary placements.  We are giving each other a hand up.

:::::::::
Lately, Uranians are my touchstones. 
Touchstones are stones used to identify precious metals or physical or intellectual measures by which the validity or merit of a concept is determined.

It occurs to me this is an interesting play on words/concepts. ( I am a late ’67 Virgo with Sun conjunct Uranus/Pluto – as the square heats up, I do as well.)

Toro is sensate, Moon is exalted here
(Merc, Mars, Sun, South Node, Venus in Taurus now – New Moon/eclipse on the way)
Saturn rules earth, the body, tests
(opposite Toro in Scorp – Rx, with North Node)
Mercury rules crystals and communications
(coming to conjunct everything Toro; oppose Saturn Rx)
Uranus rules piezoelectrics
(squares Pluto; Moon in Aquarius)

Piezoelectricity (pron.: /piˌeɪzoʊˌilɛkˈtrɪsɪti/) is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (notably crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins)^[1] in response to applied mechanical stress.
See Liquid Human Crystals.

I am Capricorn rising; Pluto Rx is in my 1st (self) opposite everyone else in 7th (other) square Uranus in Aries (again, self and competition), which is obviously causing a great deal of self renovation via stress from dealing with fuqwit whiners from across the wheel in Moon-ruled Cancer.

As my Uranian friend astutely noted – too much static in the attic from the internet.
(My Moon opposes Nept/11th and trines Sun/Ur/Plu in 9)
We were experiencing many of the same problems, we have sensitivity skills others don’t, so we both unplugged. We are wild – we piss people off just by sucking air – by nature of being ourselves. Trying to be ‘nice’ and fit in is just that – too trying.

When my oddball friends (whom I love dearly) tell me things like: “I hear my dead uncle talking to me”, or “my reiki  practitioner saw sparks shooting off me”, or “when I get pissed off, my electrical equipment shorts out”, or “birds surrounded me and it was a message”, or “why am I waking up at 11:11 every night”, or “I saw my electricians future job offer”, I don’t bat an eyelash because it is par for the course with us.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

When I obliquely speak of my experiences with time, I am called a liar, an attention seeker, or my personal favorite, crazy.  …yaaawwn…  How predictably tired that label is.  Notably I am called this by those without the cachucha/cojones to do so to my face.

I am not widely popular, haven’t ever been – Uranian enough to not really give a rat’s.
Note: it does piss me off when others wrongly assume I am incapable of seeing through insecurities swaddled in a self-righteous blanket of ignorance, or transparent dialogues rife with jealous tree-pissing.

For the record – I don’t expect anyone but those directly involved to understand my experiences, and I am fully aware they / we may not wholly understand it yet, either.
Hey, my freak flag is admittedly, proudly flying sky high – but know this.

I am honest.

Life is a learning process – I am a multi-Virgo with a packed 8th house, thankfully still sucking air, turning all discerning eyes toward the infinite web of life that surrounds me.
I don’t know everything – far from it.

I am watching and learning and listening intently.
I learn far more by what is actually happening than what others SAY is happening.

As the square heats up –

Ponder this…

House Capricorn is the Volcano
House Aries is the Magma
House Scorpio is our paydirt – Rebirth from the depths of death

Into the Sun – Heni Sandoval

May 9
New Moon Annular Solar Eclipse Taurus at 19 degrees
Venus, Mercury Lords; (Mars conjunct) dragon’s tail.

What was ours at last eclipse fluctuates :: desires are now haves :: Halves, perhaps ?  Most probably if executed well…partnerships are REBIRTHING. 
Taurean sensibilities are geared towards SHEDDING the PAST while Dragon’s tail is near the New Moon Solar Eclipse.

Dragon’s tail indicates Karmic Balancing is in play.
PAST figures heavily – past loves, money, any and all attractors are high with this plethora of Venusian energy.

Dragon’s tail eclipse indicates culmination and conclusion while also leading us into our future – – the cyclical circle, the wheel of life continues to turn. . . .

Feet are in two worlds – blending into harmony.
Metamorphosis of dualities into ONE future.

:::::::::::::::::
New Moon (conjunct Sun – all new moons are conjunct Sun) is particularly geared for understanding developing relationships and creatively loving the seed of willpower that lies deep within ourselves.

Although every moment holds the promise of change, New Moons accentuate this promise, they urge us forward in the process by holding up the mirror to ourselves.

During New Moons we (conscious – solar / subconscious – lunar) are side by side looking into the mirror : two FEELS more like ONE.  Instinct and will are a team, setting intentions for growth during the coming lunar cycle.

New Moons force us to grow into the knowledge of the next full moon.
::::::::::::::::::::::

What is Toro New Moon Eclipse for us …?
Think balance: communication, love, money, gearing action towards future goals.
THINK BIG – Full Moon in Sag is UP NEXT with eclipse to boot.

TRANSFORM via ADAPTATION

Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars ALL trine Pluto Rx in Cap at eclipse as Pluto sextiles Saturn Rx in mutual reception to boot.

The past present future are ALL ONE.
Time is circular rather than linear.
THINK and FEEL METAMORPHICALLY for YOUR HIGHEST GROWTH

Latent comms are highlighted, much unsaid – read your senses !
Third eye Eclipse- intuition, go with your Clairs.
 
Heal your past – quietly, subtly. 

Four on the floor slowly metamophs into hit the pavement burning tread as the square heats up and the Sagittarius eclipse energy manifests and shifts.
