Titania’s Fortune Deck

Gorgeous Lennie deck comes up with the current astro like no other  . . .  !
Love it !

Intent : clarity on Pisces Full Blue Moon ( second full moon in a month is a blue moon ), Positive vibe infusion and highest good brought forth for all my readers.  so mote it be

Our blessed future remains unwritten, mysterious.
We are standing in a position of strength and powerful creation.

You know if you read here, the full moon is nearly upon us (tomorrow) which puts Pisces Full Moon conjunct Chiron the wounded healer – both are opposite (in compromise with) Virgo Sun and Mercury in late Leo.

How do you create your own healing, and how do you rise above and get in the steam of universal consciousness ?

Daydream. ( Neptune opposite Mercury – be positive – AIM HIGH ! )
Delve into your own personal power – tap your inner strength.  ( Uranus square Pluto ) 
You have an entire universe inside of you eager to help you heal. (Chiron)
Meditate.
Be still.
Listen.
Imagine.
Transform.  
Map, write your life path – let it unfold . . . from a point of personal balance and harmony with the cosmos.

Moon comes to trine Mars in Scorpio prior to Full Lunation.

Moon trine Mars in Scorpio is the blade of emotional self analysis – go easy on yourself.
Prune carefully  – release the old, the outdated emotional baggage.
Write down what you want to release – create your personal ceremony !  
BURN IT UP

R e l e a s e   and find  P E A C E.

Begin again.
Compose your new positive life path, from a position of strength.
Ya dig ?

Aquarius Moon opposes Mercury so I am thinking (science/ Aquarius) sight (Mercury) and instincts (Moon) – specifically, perceptions.

I have Mercury in Libra (Air, strong, social, intellectual) at MC sextile Jupiter in Leo 8.
 Mercury is already dual in nature, and it is tipping the scales of balance in my chart.
The trickster on the teeter totter ::::  wheeeEee  !

I like to play around (Leo plays) with perceptions, eye tricks.  I’m a huge fan of eye candy, lenticulars, 3D, holograms, optical illusions, stereograms. . . you get the drift.

Ever think how your Mercury is set up for perceptions and / or play ?

Mercury with ( or planet below in Virgo or Gemini )
Sun : love of communication, creativity
Moon : love of stories, imaginations
Venus : love of beauty, balance
Mars : love of problem solving, mechanical
Jupiter : love of philosophy, study
Saturn : love of reasoning, plans
Uranus : love of ideas, futuristic concepts
Neptune : love of mysticism, inspirations
Pluto : love of research, psychoanalysis

::::::::

Do animals see in color ?

Very poor color vision: dogs, cats, mice, rats and rabbits
They see greys, some blues and yellows.

Good color vision: monkeys, ground squirrels, birds, insects, and many fish
 They see a fairly good range of color.

High color vision : Dig this !  Bees and butterflies can see colors that we can’t see. Their range of color vision extends into the ultraviolet. (source)

Humans only see a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum – which is enormous.

Small visible spectrum above, see ?

Bees and butterflies (both Mercury ruled) need to see more color, for the leaves of the flowers they pollinate have special ultraviolet patterns which guide the insects deep into the flower.   GroOovy, yeah ?

Moon is coming to conjunct Neptune (film & music) so am including both.
Fab Dead tune in comments, anyone knows me saw that coming at first pic. lol.

Friday 31
Full Blue Moon in Pisces
8: 58am CST, USA

Mercury into Virgo
9:32pm CST, USA

Pisces Full Moon opposes 8 degree Virgo Sun – all you Pisces peeps will be getting incoming mail ! – insight on your sense of self and your outgoing energies will come into focus.  Virgo and Pisces matters will likely be resolved through compromise and a need to let go (Pisces) of something.  Thinking / sorting VS. feeling / letting go.

You know what it is.  If it’s not healthy, and doesn’t feel good, then why do it ? 

Full Moon brings tension to the early degrees ( Full Moon is at 8 degrees) of the house of Gemini, ease to the house of Cancer, and opportunities to Taurus.  Go to your house of Pisces – this is where you will be getting insight this blue moon.

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

Yippie ki Yay for Mercury into Virgo – time to get detailed, see the nitty gritty and sort out everything in your house of Virgo.  Mercury is the way you think, communicate and process any and all self- expression – and it feels great in Virgo – Mercury is at home here.

All things Piscean will be in compromise with Mercury, and you will be sussing out all things in early Sagittarius and smoothing out the rough edges.  Your easy energies are in the house of early Capricorn, your opportunities are in early Scorpio.

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

 Cancer Venus is square Saturn in Libra – artistic tension is high – operator / equipment fail, some sort of restriction in flow, so just breath deep and keep plugging along, the energies shift soon…

Mercury is coming to conjunct Sun in Virgo, making communication flow smoothly and the structural reformation ( Mercury / Sun trine Pluto) of many things going on long-term are shifting for the better.

Think about how efficiently you work.
Reconfigure process to achieve optimum efficiency – now is the time !

The mutable, changeable energies are prime !

Process – Revison – Reinvent – Metamorph baby ! !

peace & happy bluemoOon

Stevie Ray.

A1 incredible talent, stunningly groundbreaking blues guitar.

Not surprisingly, Stevie had Neptune as focal planet of a powerful T- square.

Libra Neptune (music, guitars) square Jupiter (exalted) and Uranus (highly innovative) tightly conjunct in Cancer (emotive, blues); Neptune square Mars (exalted) in Capricorn.  Serious powerhouse for gut – wrenching ::: put you on your knees ::: blues.

Libra Sun and Neptune soaking up and pouring out the creative Venusian arts.
Moon in Sagittarius big enough for a Texan to roam far and wide.

Strong Scorpio – also not surprising – Mercury conjunct Saturn – spot on communication Soul to Soul.  
What is blues if not karma served up on a platter, mmm . . . ?
Pluto is packin’ heat from the house of Leo which rules the heart.

Venus also in Scorpio – love and sexual desires stroked into a lush musical fabric textured, dense and complex . . . most definitely.
Specialized talents, spiritual gifts : Sun quintile Jupiter and Uranus – hugely innovative intuitive creativity.  Mercury quintile Mars : powerhouse passionate drive to communicate intense experiences via his instruments – guitar and voice.
Mars quintile Saturn (while exalted in Capricorn) : penetrating artistic achievement – fame long-term recognition for work and craft
Saturn quintile Pluto : mysterious warrior / lover, seductive earthy tantric guitar vibe   

Stevie battled his addictions – sensitive Neptunians often do, and Stevie’s guitar sings his sorrows so seductively . . .

Moon Man

::::::::::

Apollo 11 mission in 1969.  I remember watching this, enthralled.  I was nearly two.  I couldn’t quite grasp how they got up there and I wanted to get up there too.

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon died today.
:::::::::

:::::::
Neil was a Leo Sun, Gemini rising with Mars in Gemini (strong, Mars rules the first house). Mars rising – North Node of Destiny and Uranus (in the 11th, strong it rules) also rising, both in Aries – radical pioneering vibe.

Mercury, his chart ruler was in Virgo (strong, it rules) tightly conjunct Neptune – both in trine to Moon in Sagittarius.

Fascinating. 
Mercury rules walking, Neptune rules dreams, Sagittarius thighs and exploration – and Moon is right there in Sagittarius trine both.  Very cool.   Neptune is often prominent in the charts of astronauts, it being the sea of cosmic space.

Saturn is in Capricorn (strong, it rules) on the eighth of mysteries, the unseen and research.  Also Saturn = earth man !

Jupiter is quintile North Node of Destiny in Aries on the 12th cosmic house – large scale exploration was his destiny. Moon and Jupiter are in mutual reception (in the sign the other rules) for excellent communication and energy exchange between the two Venus- ruled houses, the second and the seventh.*

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

The Apollo landing was on 7/20/69.

At this time, transiting Venus * was conjunct Neil’s natal Mars in Gemini while transiting Pluto was applying to Neil’s natal Venus in Virgo.

By transit, Jupiter and Uranus were conjunct and just into Venus – ruled Libra at 0 degrees.  Zero degrees of any Cardinal sign is a critical point and signifies an explosive outpouring of energy !   Jupiter is expansion and Uranus the strange or unusual – first guy to go walking on the moon overqualifies, yes ?!

Also a whammy pile up of planets (Pluto, Moon, Jupiter conjunct Uranus) were  transiting through Neil’s 5th house, which is the natural house of Leo = fame.
Mars had just crossed Neil’s Descendant axis and was in the Venus – ruled seventh house.

Pretty amazing chart for an amazing fellow.
Be at peace, Neil. . .
