All ONE

Quickie one card reading (spirit card on the right) : intent is clarity regarding events surrounding upcoming Uranus / Pluto square, leading to highest most benevolent outcome for all of us.

I pulled a couple of fortunes too, they are in synchronization – groovy !
Act on those new ideas you are generating
Complete success in all undertakings

AAH: Family of the Moon
 MUT:  Mother.  Selfless love. (mut: the mouth, the uterus) Gestation – physical, mental or spiritual.  She is two-fold, North – South; Lady of the Two Lands. 

Her wings encompass the four directions, she contains both female and male energies, she births the twin energies of Sirius into manifestation.  Two vultures adorn her, they are sacred symbols of disintegration and regeneration. The male figures represent her generative qualities; the female and male energies as a whole are infinitely fertile and nourishing.  She holds the ankh and the papyrus scepter (uadj) symbolizing new growth, expansion and life energies.

Spirit card, crux of the matter
The NETER of NETURU
An expression of the absolute. 

Historically a standard or banner which marks a place of divinity.  They are similar to Tibetan prayer flags, which subtly emit the etheric ‘sound’ of prayers on the wind.  Sigils created with prayers develop formidable psychic powers on their own – when on banners, the symbols are offerings taken by the ‘spirit of the wind’ to a higher power, the ‘invisibles’.   The fabric itself is warp and weft – symbolizing polarities and cosmic coordination.  Neter Neturu is the concept of ALL ONE.

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

Awesome card draw for this square – for Uranus is polarites, the higher octave of Mercury – AIR.  Uranus knows what it knows without speech or written word, it is brainwaves plugged into the universal electrical field – it is ALL ONE in operation.

Personally, I am not gathering any moss lately, you ?  I am heave – ho-ing the past like mad and it feels great !  The possibilities seem endless, and the Neter Neteru accentuates this message : Anything is Possible, Anything Can Be Done.

Gestation during Dark Virgo Moon, sounds fab !
Moon comes to trine Pluto before New Moon releasing some more emo garbage on the way to fresh new beginnings – YaY !

I love how this reading is both polarities & nebulous advice to create our own future and roll with the unforseen changes.

I have Moon exalted in Toro, in 4 trine Pluto.  Creative gestation leading to positive regeneration is my Ace in the hole for too much Neptune square.  Find your ace in the hole and work it to your advantage !

Incubate your dark moon dreams – then give birth to them on or after New Moon (see link above) and they will grow strong with the growth of the Moon !

As anyone with Uranus / Pluto prominent can tell you – put yer cleats on and bob and weave baby ~>  Rapid – fire changes are imminent.

blessed be

curious cosmic meetings

Duuuude . . .this astro is aaaAamazing !

No sooner than I pass through one Nemo-ish swirling vortex of terror, here comes another.  Virgo Sun / Merc is bopping all my 9th house bells and whistles (Sun/Ura/Plu), Saturn just crossed my MC, is nearly conjunct my South Node, and most of my heavy hitters are presently Rx (Ura/Nep/Plu).  Neptuner Rx is opposite natal Venus/Jupes pffft . . .I have been taking clematis to help that opposition, otherwise quite frankly, I don’t have much time to dwell, I am too busy swimming !   YOU ?

Tuesday 18th 12:07am CST, USA
Pluto stations direct 6 degrees Capricorn
Uranus Rx exact square Pluto

Pluto stations direct while sextile Chiron, so healing opportunities are present for the shift in metamorphic energies.  Early degrees of Aries and Libra feel the squeeze, early Cancer juggles the balancing act with another, while opportunities are present in early Pisces and Scorpio.

Pluto Rx was certainly digging up past voodoo – transforming it into Major Mojo. 

Have you also felt the release, the transformation of past obstacles into present strengths ?  It boggles if I think about it too much, I just keep working.

Speaking of work, Saturn is reaching the last degrees of Libra and wow, what a ride that was.  I was here working for a great deal of it, in addition to my full-time day job.
 (Oct 2009- Apr 2010; July 2010 – Oct 5 2012, Saturn plowed through Libra)
How did you apply yourself in the last 2 years ?  Are you wowed by all your progress ?
Amazing accomplishments, Saturn brings.

Saturn into Scorpio

More on Saturn later…now a bit of Pluto…
:::::::::::::
So this evening, I am nursing my cat’s wound, when my Saturn incense slid off this box and fell down behind in a crack – I wasn’t anywhere near it, it had been sitting there for weeks.  I had to move things to get it out.

SoOo. . . knowing that Saturn is nearly on my South Node (past) I knew it was a sign, I had to go digging for some info.  I found it.  My Dad had Uranus Rx exact conjunct my Toro Moon.  When my Dad was dying, I was watching something, humming along with it quietly when I last felt my Dad’s presence in his physical body.

Let me explain . . .I love astrology, I love reading the language of signs, symbols and portents.  Someone that I have become more interested in lately – simply for curiosity’s sake – has a very interesting conjunction with my Dad and me.  Saturn/Jupiter, to be exact. Their conjunction is exact conjunct my Moon (and my Dad’s Uranus Rx) which is trine my Pluto.   (Transiting Sun is exact on my natal Pluto now.)

Pluto is death.
They each were near me when the other one metamorphosed for the last time.

I saw this astrosynch tonight, cried. WoW tears, not sad tears.  Really just quietly freaking at the cosmic unity of the aspects and meetings in the synastry.

Feeling the Pluto shift, so I am writing about death and synchronicities (Uranus) via astrology aspects.  My Dad has Scorpio North Node, 15 degrees.  I find this significant when I think about a psychic’s revelation to me a couple of years ago.  I will not reveal more, other than to say I am wondering what I said in 3rd grade that was so moving.  Curious.  Very curious.

…more soon…just keep swimming !

My Loyal Subjects

Posted on by

Leo Moon !
I could hear the gears turning in kitties heads as I left for work …
We’re gonna be on tv, right ? 
Better !  – internet, worldwide.
Yay !  *puffs out chest*

Leo moon is great for over the top pleasure pursuits, instinctive creative bursts (though a bit fluctuating), playing the drama queens / kings card and basically stealing the show.

The WILL is keyed up by emotions of Moon – solar power is applied to whatever or whomever is fancied in a fun, snazzy, flirtatious, full-throttle, life-affirming way.

Leo Moons like, no – NEED – attention like air, food and water – they thrive on it ! 

Leos have a flair for fun and when the emotions are involved they are like kids in a candy store, grabbing all the goodies of life with gusto, playing and having a blast.  If you have the affections of a Leo Moon, they will likely surprise you with thoughtful gifts, for Leos are generous and giving – shining solar light wherever they go.

They are proud, regal and chivalrous – feelings easily hurt – solar and lunar reflections are in this house – so don’t poke fun at their haircut or how they look if you want to stay on their good side.  Leo Moons can be very vain. Exactly why Leo Moons are great for snazzing up the daily routine with some dazzle and sparkle, and strutting your stuff !

Shine ON babes – you look fabulous

Blind lucks

Swampcat !

I soOo love this pic – Leo 8th house here.

Look to your house of Leo & Sun
To see how & where you flirt.

Ow.  The ex flirted at work.
yep

My brother had Pluto in Leo 9
and he nearly died in a motorcycle accident
while traveling, he was accident prone.
Yet he also had all the women swooning
in Colorado – which is super Leo.
and far from home.

My sister does at home.  True.
She and my brother-in-law are just plain goofy.

How about you ?

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

I have
Venus conjunct Jupiter and Fortuna
all in 8 of death.
Intense life-altering, knock-down, drag out, ginormous
love deaths

A Leo without light
sad, sick and in the darkness

I flirted with death.
Not proud of that.  True though.
I have died every which way
slowly, killing myself by degrees
  fuquin low Neptune poisons of each and every kind
killing me and killing me and killing me
without actual physical death
though I begged for it

For years I clawed my way out
of a deep dark sick hole

it was horrible
and now, thankfully
it is OVER

I have pinpointed another turning of the tide
a sweet man said have a good day
and he MEANT it.

Such a small thing – a moments kindness
that changed
EVERYTHING

Months later, I saw him again
I thanked him
He seemed surprised one turn of phrase
had been my fulcrum
::::::::::
Love and kindness
 in the darkness
of my 8th house mineshaft
:::::
Still I wanted more 8th house clarity
symbology
and I think
lay out your aspects visually

:::::::::::::::
Look at YOUR CHART via TAROT symbology
is very insightful
Here is my natal 8 in a tarot nutshell

Love dies, I divine
  Venus – on 8 death- square Neptuner

ACE
:: pure, untouched ::
::::::::::::::
Whammy love squares to Neptuner.
Enter fog, confusion, illusion and delusion

What is gonna
save my ass from this train wreck ? 

My secret protection
Sagittarius in 12.

YES 
if you have Sagittarius or Jupiter in the 12th
you too have SECRET ALLIES

My first shot of Jupiter
 is my natal Jupes
lives in the 8th conjunct Venus and Fortuna.

That is, in my experience, blind luck.

Here is my whammy whiz – bang gorgeous
Jupiter chaser.

Me  and  You

I write, teach astrology.
(Page)
(I have Mars in Sagittarius quintile Uranus in 9.)
(Mercury sextiles Jupiter, Mars trines Saturn 3rd)

Knight of Mars shows up.
(Swords – Mars is the blade)

He is my good luck charm.  
Without a doubt.

He is my secret protection in Sagittarius.

He is my cosmic Neptuning fork
::::::::::::::::

With his help I transform suffering into healing
I find blessed balance.

Low Looney Neptunooney
morphs into
 + HIGH QI NEPTUNER +

He is tuning MY fork to a higher vibration
although he may not even know it.

I am reconciling my day and night.
My polarities are finding union
Balance
Through Pluto.

One more thing.
Yes.
I felt you.

Venus shares

Posted on by

Moon is in Cancer, folks.

How’s that going for ya ?

Typically not my personal favorite moon transit because it squares my Saturn workhorse.  Earlier I was hitching my work wagon to some tunes via computer and my speakers went out.
I’ll fess up – a small thing that brought frustration, anger and tears snap !  ‘Seems the only thing working around here is ME !’   ::crank::   That’s Cancer for ya – feelings are floating right on top – unlike Saturn where they are locked down tighter than a jug (if need be).

Moon is strong here, it rules – home, family, mother, instincts, where you feel safe, how you relax, your well of midnight psyche, stomach, and yes gut feelings. 

In my chart I have been getting incoming info like WoW all morning . . . Sun / Mercury conjunction is coming up to my Sun/Uranus/Pluto (trines my natal moon) to deliver 9th house insights, basically BIG PICTURE type downloads of ahhh . . . I think I am finally getting IT.  Stuff like HOW could I have missed THAT ?
Of course, followed by tears.
Why ?

Here’s why – and why WE ARE feeling IT– because right now Venus trines Uranus – that’s fire to fire – FAST AND HOT – Marsy Uranus is blowin’ that fixed Leo pop stand a few LOVE curve balls  ~>  insights in the house of romance and creativity.

That IS sweet. (Venus)  Keep that up. Yes, please.  My Leo is on the 8th and transformation down deep is a MAJOR GO.  Look to your Leo house for where you will be getting gifts (Venus) of love, money, creative insights and finding balance.

I did this earlier in my own chart and a friend’s and it about blew my mind –
Look to your Libra house for where you are gifted something by the universe.
Do the same for Taurus – Venus rules both. 

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

Look at Peter Jackson’s chart 2 posts ago.
He has Venus in Libra on the 6th conjunct Mercury.

Libran Gift = Mercury: books, but not just any old books.  Books loved the world over, (Venus) filled with their own (Mercury) languages.  In fact, a huge preface that is an enormous book in and of itself, The Silmarillion, shows the dawning of middle earth time, birth of the races, languages, the whole middle earth world created by author J.R.R. Tolkien.  You see Venus and Mercury contact Jupiter (huge) and Saturn (world), right ?  See how dense – how intense ?

Nothing less will do for Peter’s Scorpio Sun, Neptune and Mars – he was gifted this dense, difficult, rewarding project in some way.  An agreement before he arrived on this plane, whatever – it IS a gift.

Taurus in 1st = we are a patient bunch of fans (Venus) and we will wait for his creativity to express itself in its own time – because we know it will be worth ($$ + love, Toro) the wait.  Peter is at the (1st, Mars + conj Neptune) helm, all is well.

Moon is coming up to trine Mars in Scorpio and oppose Pluto in Capricorn. 
Some emo junk from the past is prime to be jettisoned in order to improve our health.

Venus is closing in the square to Mars.
Scorpio power vs. Leo love
This one I am very familiar with, trust me.  Two fixed signs that want to win.

Plutonic power will fight the WILLpower until death.
Only then comes the rebirth – Fresh NEW power – only after loss of the old.

Is that intense for you ?  (shrug)  Sorry.  Welcome to my world.

Stay calm Mooneyed peeps, death just means give up the Plutonic need to control everything regarding love, money and creativity.

Let me clarify.
By give up I mean flip the Mars in Scorp power switch from exterior to interior.  Ya dig ?  Don’t hog the left lane doing 50, for instance.

Share and delegate the power.   Venus shares.

Cultivate balance of power.  If the obsession to control a situation finds you spinning out of control – work on controlling yourSELF instead.

May Power through Peace be ours

Sir Hobbit

Posted on by


Sir Peter Jackson
I was thrilled to hear Peter was back on board  and going to direct The Hobbit – thrilled ! 

During casting updates, my ex and I were in a texting frenzy – I was soOo happy to hear Martin was cast as Bilbo !  We saw the traveling exhibit when it came through our area – Weta Workshop – the craftsmanship is stunning, I was positively drooling at the leather work, blades, armour, Eomer’s helmet, costumes etc…

Peter is obviously a brilliant filmmaker with tons of credits, awards and he managed to get a TRILOGY of films made when who the heck ever heard of financial backing for that kind of monster project ? 
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, han mathon ne chae a han noston ned ‘wilith.

I woke out of a sound sleep with the feeling something was up.  I checked the sidebar links for earthquakes, flares, etc.  I just felt something.  Then I knew, checked.
Saturn is exactly exact on MC.
Moon and Jupiter are conjunct on my natal Hephaestus.

J.R.R. Tolkien has Hephaestus conjunct Pluto
in Gemini – both are at 7 degrees.
WoW

It is time.  Time for The Hobbit.
I drew a fortune for the occasion
::: Silence is golden when used at the right time :::
What better fortune could I draw for one of the greatest directors of all time ?

Peter has Saturn (time, work, silence, building, concentration) in Capricorn (Saturn rules) conjunct 29 degree Jupiter (culmination degree, visionary teaching – rules the ninth house) and Part of Fortune at Midheaven in the 9th house of philosophy.

Building Monumental Visionary Work

Right off the bat I see Peter’s life work revolves around teaching / communicating (9th house) the importance of bonds of fellowship (Saturn conjunct Jupiter) and building strong working (6th house) relationships (7th house) between a family (4th house) of friends.  And making kick-ass films, lol.  Sun (where his heart shines) is conjunct Neptune (film) and Mars (action – adventure).

Peter is a Master Builder Number 22. (higher octave of 4)   It indicates practical  genius coupled with heightened sensitivity, intuition and psychic awareness, as well as service to middle earthkind.  (Twenty-two is an esoteric number: 22 Major Arcana, 22 letters in Hebrew alphabet, 22 paths of the Sephiroth)

Peter is a Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon with Taurus rising.

Scorpio Sun in 7th is extremely artistically (natural house of Libra) observant, aware of balance at all times.  Peter’s Sun is the focal point of a T-square, with Sun square Moon in 3rd, Jupiter in 9th.  Conceptualizing, writing, filming and directing the audio / visual document of a world-renowned and much loved series of books into a massive trilogy of films is a serious creative undertaking.  Clear – cut (Mars) powers of perception are needed.

Mercury (books) conjunct Venus (money, creativity) in Libra (balance, Venus rules) is great for weighing the options between artistic integrity to the piece and the realities of a studio budget.  Saturn in Capricorn works hard – when conjunct Jupiter it works hard to manifest the vision imagined. (visionary Jupiter / Saturn opposite Moon, imagination)

Taurus ASC means Venus is the chart ruler, so obviously very creative, hard- working  (Saturn elevated) and patient through what is certainly a long arduous process.  Aquarius on Midheaven represents the extraordinary innovative work / vision of filming a trilogy length film over 274 (principal photography) days from October 1999 through to December 2000 (pick-ups from 2001 to 2004). 

Moon in Leo is imaginative, playful and very creative from the heart.  These movies work because he makes us feel the plight of middle earthkind – we care what happens to the Fellowship.  We even feel for Smeagol / Gollum who has been twisted beyond recognition by the obsessive (Scorpio) addiction (Neptune) to the evil ring (low Venus), Precioussss.   Peter gets obsession – his work is obviously his – with Jupiter conjunct Saturn elevated and Pluto in Virgo sextile Scorpio Sun.  Yeah, he gets it.

Peter has a chart full of internal tension (squares) with hard core work ethic elevated.
His one opposition – MOON – the public.  What will we think of it, how will we feel about his creations (Leo) ?  He needs to flex his creative muscles while remaining true to the original work, while also giving the public the goods.

That’s a tough spot for him, as well as the fact that he simply cannot overextend himself at work.  Moon fluctuates and in the dual house of Gemini (3rd) in Leo (rules the heart) Peter is very capable of juggling many things and doing it well – yet opposition to Saturn (the physical body) means finding balance, my friend.  Take care of yourself – we will wait for them and for you. x

We will always fall back on those sextiles and trines – quintiles feel more like ala surprise gifties from the universe – but those sextiles and trines will be working overtime to decrease the internal tension from the squares. 

Peter has some whammy sextiles on his side, for sure.  Sun sextiles Pluto – this is not only artistic transformation and doing things over, and doing them better – it is also this primal rebirthing energy that can be tapped from the house of Virgo.  Makes me think ‘the devil is in the details’ aspect, creativity wise, but it also means the will power is incredibly strong for doing great service to the artwork itself.   Sun and Moon in T-square with work, elevated – he thinks about the creative work day and night.

These films (King Kong, too: loved it !) are HIS LIFE.  These films are embedded in the public psyche forever – the bonds of fellowship, friendship, loyalty, faith and fighting evil side by side.  Amazing – truly, amazing contribution to the world of film, thank you.

Uranus is in the culmination degree of Leo testifying to unusual creative genius, conjunct North Node of Destiny is very favorable for making a creative mark on the world. (Moon, also in Leo, is the public).  North Node of Destiny in 4th (home) is also significant by Peter’s choice to stay in New Zealand for all filming.

Peter’s Chiron in 10 trines Sun, Mercury and Neptune in the 7th; Peter’s Libra Mercury, Venus trine the Midheaven.  His Neptune quintiles Jupiter and Saturn elevated, and Fortuna is elevated as well.  That is very beneficial for a creative career to have so many trines from Venus energy pinging off the Midheaven in harmony.

Neptune quintiles Uranus and Saturn – specialized talent for innovative work on film.

I absolutely love this : the indigenous New Zealand people, or Maori, came to bless (Jupiter) the production’s soundstages before principal photography (Saturn / Neptune) began.  Respect.

Kwentra lye i’narn Elear
Perfect 10, Peter !
