. . . is the slogan on my favorite record store. Ancient hippies, perpetual incense and music I haven’t heard before, I love it.
Dark Moon in Cancer swings up to square the Mars / Saturn conjunction in Venus- ruled Libra while Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto Rx in Capricorn and squares Uranus Rx in Aries.
Doors are opening into the past.
Major metamorphosis involving relationships, women, mothers, money, exchanges of energy and love, dynamics around work, men and how to balance past and present are all in hyperdrive ~>
What do we choose to molt, shed, or cleanse ourselves from ?
Deep well of psyche is reached during Cancer dark moon.
Primal instincts take over.
We shelter and cocoon, germinate underground. We follow our gut.
(Cancer rules stomach)
Cancer is the womb and the tomb.
This T-Square is a call to reach deep within, identify old feelings and jettison those that do not serve our highest good.
Cancer rules Moon and fluctuation, she pulls the tidal waters aka feelings in our physical bodies.
Think of yourself as Captain of your ship (body).
Your crew (cells) are depending on you to guide them well from the cradle to the grave.
Make it so.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was an amazing Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. and that is just scratching the surface…
He conceptualized a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, the double hull and outlined a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics, and drew one of the first scientific drawings of a fetus in utero. (wiki)
Taurus Sun with Toro Venus in applying trine to Neptune in Libra at MC, genius creative expression ! Sagittarius rising – expressive and expansive – Jupiter is in Pisces 3rd of learning conjunct Moon.
Aquarius Mars trine Saturn exalted in Libra 10th: Leonardo was an idea machine – invent, conceptualize, research, sketch, design and build futuristic machinery.
The illustration below seemed appropriate for the Uranus, Pluto, Venus T-square.
Freaky drawing of coffin contraption with gyroscope ! ?
Dunno, is weird and fascinating whatever it is.
::::::::::
Eighth house Pluto and Uranus – highly observant – he learned anatomy in detail through dissecting cadavers (Venus quintile Pluto). He drew detailed bone studies, and the pregnancy drawing you see above, as well as detailed drawings of architecture, water devices, animals, faces of rage, deformities, and machines of his own design.
Saturn in 10 wants to know how everything works, Neptune at MC absorbs the world like a sponge. Neptune and Saturn in 10 are both opposite Aries Mercury in 4. Mercury trines Leo Pluto – he certainly changed the world through creative expression.
Curiously, most of Leonardo’s writings are in mirror-image cursive, perhaps it was easier because he was left-handed, or maybe it was for reasons of secrecy, perhaps both, no one knows.
As you can see, his drawings and sketches were extremely detailed and highly researched – Virgo precision at MC and Aries Mercury in trine to Pluto in Leo.
The animation above delineates the sacred geometry of the golden rectangle, which is more easily seen in colored portions below.
Da Vinci and others (including the architect Palladio) helped to revive this knowledge of sacred geometry and its application after the so-called “Dark Ages.”
Apart from the monks in Ireland, most of the older knowledge was preserved by Arabic culture that translated older Greek and Roman works into Arabic. These works were retranslated back into Latin and other European languages by scholars working in cross-cultural universities in renaissance Spain.
::::::
Study on the proportions of head and eyes
You can see above the geometry da Vinci applied to sketching human faces. Obviously mirror image writing and building with polarities (Uranus sextile Venus in 6th) appealed with Mars in Aquarius in trine to Saturn in the tenth of achievement.
This mathematical precision (sacred geometry) is applied to Mona Lisa below, I am sure there is another for the Last Supper floating around as well. I will look, pop into comments.
Which brings me to the point of this post.
Mercury is numbers, counting, perceptions.
Saturn is mathematics.
Saturn
(traditional ruler of the fixed sign Aquarius)
is form and matter – the building blocks – earth plane..
Uranus is the higher octave of numbers, counting and perceptions.
Uranus is spirals.
The geometric electrical energy grid that connects all life on earth.
Which leads me to believe Uranus rules sacred geometry as well as Saturn.
Thoughts . . .?
A fun morph.
Leonardo is asteroid 3000.
Da Vinci has it exact conjunct North Node in Capricorn.
Consider Leonardo your renaissance point !
Currently Leonardo is at 10 Cancer.
Dark Moon in Cancer is at 10 degrees as I write this !
Interesting it is dovetailing into the renaissance T- Square Action, yes ?
Venus will soon follow to conjunct – she is at 6 Cancer.

The Great Queen Rhiannon, is a Welsh Moon goddess whose name derives from two Welsh words: rhiain : meaning sleeping maiden and Annwn : the name of the Welsh Otherworld. She is found in the medieval Welsh tales of Mabinogion, riding a swift white stallion.
Defying her parents wishes to marry an older god she did not love, she instead chose to marry the man she loved, a mortal, Prince Pwyll. Rhiannon gave birth to a son who disappeared under the watch of six women servants chosen to tend him while Rhiannon regained her strength after childbirth.
While all her hand servants slept, her son was taken. Upon awakening, the terrified servants fearing for their lives, smeared blood on Rhiannon’s cheeks and claimed she killed her son. As punishment, Rhiannon was bade to serve seven years as a ‘horse’ posted at Pwyll’s castle gate, bearing all visitors to the castle on her back.
After serving four long years without complaint, Rhiannon was overjoyed when a farmer and his wife arrived at the gate with Rhiannon’s son in tow. Having found him abandoned, they had lovingly raised him as their own until seeing the growing boys resemblance to his parents, they returned him at once to his mother.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Rhiannon, asteroid 16912, is closely linked with inspiration, dreams / nightmares, change, being steadfast in crisis, magick, horses (sacred to the Celts) and mystical birds. The singing birds of Rhiannon were said to ‘wake the dead, and ease the living to sleep’. (see Welsh tales link above)
She also indicates strong emotions (Moon), lost loved ones and forgiveness (Neptune), life essence and powers that thrive within the depths of wellsprings and lakes.
Also consider Rhiannon a place where you regain what you have lost.
Rhiannon’s story is said to have grown into the legend of the Lady of the Lake, the water spirit who was foster mother to Sir Lancelot and presented King Arthur with the magickal sword Excalibur. It was commonplace for Celts to offer gifts to water spirits, especially valuables and weapons, a tradition that continues today in the form of wishing wells. Lady of the Lake is synonymous with Lady Luck.

In typical Mars quintile Uranus fashion, I stumbled upon this while looking for something else, much to my delight – because I recently dreamed so vividly of a swift white horse. When I say swift, I mean superfast – full tilt at least 80, when quarterhorses clock 50 tops. A wild blur of white against the dark night sky, his intent, his eyes were following me so closely . . . when he turned to race back towards me, I saw a large gash on his flank. I was undone – really upset, begging my companions to help us.
. . . I was thinking and feeling in terms of US . . . hmmm . . . fascinating.
Particularly fascinating as I have Rhiannon exactly conjunct Jupiter which rules horses.
I haven’t remembered any dreams for quite some time, they were too upsetting, I asked for them to remain quiet. Well, I am back in the saddle now – online in the stream of unconsciousness, I am dreaming of moose, white stallions, dimensional space and time travellers, I’m getting messages for friends across the world I have not met in waking life, all kinds of far out stuff.
If you are wondering where I have been – I am getting so much incoming, I am in heavy duty process mode 24/7. This Venus Uran/ Pluto thinger is binging all my bells and whistles since they are jammed together in my progressed – it’s a wild ride baby ! !
Figuring out how to funnel the multiverse through Aries Saturn Rx in 3rd.

Well that didn’t take long. Venus into Cancer was promptly christened with waterworks. Yee gads, spinning Wille / Kris & Songwriter – my Dad’s copy on vinyl. Wore out my cassette, found it in my Dad’s stuff after he died. Nothing says I miss my Dad and brother like an Outlaws bender. Cancer is family after all….
My apologies to any and all shellfish for calling Cancer touchie-feelie this week.
Here’s why I do…
Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) opposes Cancer – they naturally need to compromise….
My Aries Saturn, squares Cancer – they naturally need to shift power and re-focus.
I am Cap rising, Saturn is my ruler meaning I approach life seriously, slowly and with concentration and tremendous effort. I like it no muss, no fuss – straight shooters. Say what you mean & do what you say. Cancer does everything through feelings, which from my standpoint can become the undertow far too quickly. My Aries Saturn Rx flips Cancer the bird from the third. Pffft. Seventh house, relationships squareSquareSQUARE. ‘Pity ? Party of One your table is ready.’
gets. on. my. last. nerve.
It has to said, I have plenty of love, caring and nurturing instincts – it’s the moody, clingy emotionally overwrought wishy-washy energies that do me no good. After 15 minutes I become my own drill sgt. suck it UP sweetheart ! Yeah you are still single – it could be worse – get. ovah. it ! Get UP and Get to WORK !
Light candles, incense, ring some bells – gain ALTITUDE – pronto !
Then I do what any good Virgo stellium would do – I dismantle the bomb. Pick it apart and solve it. Here’s how:
Find YOUR squaring houses and work your puzzle, your way.
Aries squares my Cap ASC and my Cancer DC. Internally (eternally ? sheesh.) at war with self (1st) and others (7th). How the heck do I get out of it..?
Third house communicates – just by being here writing, I have solved one thing. Second, my Aries Saturn Rx opposes my 9th (but trines Sag Mars) – by teaching I find compromise with others. [ * waves * How ya’ll doin’ out there ? ]
Squares lead to the greatest growth in the natal chart because they are internal tension you can tap into everyday to find powerful metamorphosis.
Oppositions show up when other people do. So hermits have oppositions with bears and moose, I guess, lol. You shall not pass … or something. haha You get what I am saying.
For help solving oppositions, find the midpoint energies.
For instance in my chart Toro Moon opposes Scorpio Neptune. The midpoint between the two (square) lands me in Aquarius, an empty house – yet Aquarius is humanitarian and ruled by Uranus – astrology. My Uranus is conjunct 9th house Sun – a benefic – so count Sun as a powerful ally. Answer is: I quit drinking, etc.. and funnelled all my Loonie Lunar Neptuner sensitivity into astrology & divination for the WIN !
WoOo HooOo !
Also note: Aquarius on the second can mean two jobs, self – employed or made, infrequent or unsteady income.
Or… in my case, working my ass off to make more moola (2nd house) by initiating work in the intuitive arts so I can keep my house.
(aka – Hello Aries NN in the 4th !)
questions welcome
peace out

If somebody’d said before the flight, “Are you going to get carried away looking at the earth from the moon?”
I would have said, “No, no way.”
But yet when I first looked back at the earth, standing on the moon, I cried.
