New Moon in Gemini 10:02am CST, USA

New Moon (is always conjunct Sun)

New Moon and Sun square both Mars in earth and Uranus in fire
These squares will feel a bit edgy, dig in and work, they will pass soon, as moon moves quickly through our skies…

New Moon trines Saturn Rx in air Neptune Rx in water
Revision : thoughts of how to work and find balance – health and idealistic visions

Venus Rx moves to conjunct Jupiter in Gemini in air
Keep it positive while reviewing past loves and creative financing.
Brainstorm improvements now.

Remember all the benefics are in thoughtful Gemini – work this in your positive favor !

Jupiter trines Mars in earth, Mars quintiles North Node of Destiny
Envision a bright shiny future : dream it, then be it.

Keep thoughts positive and set fresh intents and goals just at or right after exact the new moon.

Human Centrifuges

Circa 1929 Revere Beach, MA, USA.  Wall of Death.
Weird pic, yah ?
~~~~~~~~~
Centrifugal force
[ Latin centrum, meaning “center”, and fugere, meaning “to flee” ]
Centrifugal force is Mars ruled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Virgo Mars is trine Jupiter in Gemini (that’s hot to trot positive thinking all over the shop)
Virgo Mars is trine North Node of Destiny in Sagittarius (Jupiter rules)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gemini is packed, Mars is in Virgo – both signs are Mercury ruled- so our thoughts are likely ping – ponging from one thing to another as we try to suss out the issues of the
Aries and Capricorn houses in our chart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto is the higher octave of Mars which means divine will, power of action amped up to superhuman strength – we are being forced to face something within ourselves we do not like.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pluto is currently squaring Aries (the sign Mars rules) specifically Pluto is nearing exact square to Uranus which is the higher octave of Mercury.

Think Human Centrifuges.

We are fleeing from our outdated gravitational centers.
Our thought patterns are being restructured, our brains re-wired, a shift is occurring.

What we thought we were is being morphed into what we are NOW.

Our personal paradigms are shifting and we are building new anchors —
We are rotating our wheels – cat burglars, listening for the tick of each tumbler as it falls into place.

Our combinations are tripped, our trap door unlocked, we are set free.

Cap & Aries : for me that is 3rd and 1st, respectively,  check these houses for your new doors opening : fresh self-awareness is upon us in these houses.

Also check out your natal Mars and Pluto and Uranus, you will be feeling these natal placements as well.

I saved the best for last…know that the Sagittarius house is where the dual polarities dovetail together into the future…

Sagittarius is where the compass of destiny is pointing ~>

key to chill

augusto-guto

Strings are wound pretty tight out there, yeah..?
 I am getting that from my circle, and I am feeling it myself.  Where I am (central US) the heat is rising along with the humidity as the astro square of Uranus and Pluto grows tighter.  Cranky and bitchy is a common commodity these days.
Patience is a little harder to come by, exquisite and golden.

Keep this in mind: as the date grows nearer to exact, the aspect is stronger.
June 23 – Uranus square Pluto exact 10:19pm, CST, USA.

So in the interest of keeping the astro distilled to the finest essence …
let’s acknowledge what we can  do to relieve the pressure.  I have got a simple solution, free ( we love free, yes ? ) and easy, can be done anywhere.

Here it is : breathe.

That’s it.
I told you it was simple.

Think of it this way – and Gemini house loves to think – and will from every angle.
Gem house is soon to be packed – as I write this Moon is at 29 degrees Toro nearly into Gemini to join Jupiter, Venus Rx, and Sun.

Sun, Venus and Jupiter are the benefics, the fortunate planets.
They are ALL in Gemini.

Gemini rules the lungs.  
and the nervous system :: our key to chill is breathing.

They (Moon, Jup, Ven) however; are in square to Neptune Rx and Chiron Rx in the healing sign of Pisces. (Sun trines Nept and Chiron.)  Squares are an obstacle, needs to be solved – we yearn to know how to heal the macro and micro. 
Retrogrades indicate a searching within for knowledge and revising the energy output it signals a chance to re-invent the way we express that energy in our lives.
Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, it is divine love for all life big and small.
It is where the macro and micro meet as ONE.
Chiron is the wounded centaur who explores remedies and ultimately gifts his knowledge to heal self and others via natural methods.
Yes, heal self – for the healer is also healed – it is an energy exchange.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. – Gandhi

Start small.
Inner world, then outer world.
In the airplane you put the oxygen mask on yourself first, right ?!

The micro universe of cells within our bodies needs fresh oxygen that only comes with deep breathing.  Most people take 13-20 breaths per minute. Try to take 8 or fewer. Relax the pace of your respiration.

….slow down….relax…breathe deeply…..bless your body as you do so….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Benefits:
Diaphragmatic breathing helps control the nervous system. Breathing slowly and deeply brings a sense of peace, relaxation and focus.  note: Jupiter in Gemini scatters, lacks focus – diaphragmatic breathing will help !  Deep breathing stimulates the lymph system, it helps relieve hypertension and migraines. As oxygen goes into our blood stream, our cells excrete toxins, deep breathing helps our lymphatic system expel these toxins.

Pranayama is : Prāna, which means life force, or vital energy (for the breath) and “āyāma,” to suspend or restrain. Often translated as control of the life force, when used as a technical term in yoga, it is interpreted, more specifically, as “breath control.”

I’m going to visit the universal breathing room, maybe you will see my little breathing bubble pop up, it’s cool !   The link is on the sidebar (or click above) – you can see who is also coming from around the world to breathe together…..

the way is open

Dark Moon in Taurus …. Luna meets up with all the benefics on her way to new in Gemini.  Moon conjunct Jupiter, then Venus Rx, then Sun.
This feels good for us, a bit of an emotional exhale…so relax a bit for dark moon.

Dark moons are a time of rest, rejuvenation – the water in our bodies is at a low ebb and our blood moves slower, we are less energetic.  Go for your ultimate chill by looking to your moon sign and placement.

Feed your Moon to feel good.

I am earth moon, Taurus in 4.  I am going to clean up / decor my basement a bit – I hibernate down there in the summer, it is my lush batgrrrlcave.  Fourth house is home, and Toro likes to feed the senses, (Venus rules) and make the surroundings beautiful.

Venus Rx in Gemini also squares Chiron Rx in Pisces, let your mind dwell on self-care and how to be good to what your body needs.  Venus is reviewing the South Node path as well, have a care towards where your thoughts have led you in the past.  Time to review and re-invent ::: form better habits and ways of dealing with exchanges of love and money.  Pisces house needs to blur and dissolve – it is the cosmic ocean of all one, yet while Gemini Venus Rx is in square to Chiron and Neptune both Rx in Pisces – it is a call to form stronger personal boundaries in order to mentally, emotionally (Merc in Cancer squ Sat Rx in Libra) physically and financially retain balance.

This is accentuated by Mercury in Cancer – Mercury here wants to feel everything, suss out the kinks in choppy emotional waters, smooth things over, nurture and protect.  It squares Saturn Rx in Libra, at times like these, I wonder what sort of relationship (Saturn Rx in Venus ruled Libra) has recently led us to feel emotionally stunted, twisted or lacking…? What teacher stumbled into our lives to reflect back what we most need to see in order to change ?

Saturn stations direct on the 25th at 22 degrees Libra and with it one door will close….and another will open.  A new path will emerge full of new possibilities. Some relationships will end so that new ones may grow in its place….we will nourish them :::  now wiser, stronger and with more presence of heart and mind.

Saturn’s lessons learned.

happy dark moon all~

Lady Luck

Hello everyone
 Fabulous question was posed by my friend, Donnaleigh.  Ask your  deck “Why do I work with tarot?” … and draw a card to see what tarot sees in that question for you…

The above was my answer. 
Spirit card looks like a Cap rising, Virgo Sun all right, worrying all over. sheesh.

How fun the card I drew, I love it !
Wheel !  of. Fortune !  
 Big bucks, NO Whammies ! 
(Yes, I know that’s a different game show, but you get the idea.)

I always say reading tarot is like dialing in for the cosmic time and temperature.
I would call time & temp all the time when I was younger, that and Dial-a-story…

Temperature changes are 3rd house (natural Gemini house) where my chart ruler, Saturn Rx lives.  Mars rules HIGH temps and Saturn rules LOW temps.  In my chart they are trine one another, (Saturn Rx 3rd – Mars 11) so ya know, a girl obviously needs to know  the time and temp – frequently.  lol

Wheel of Fortune is a card of polarities and changes too.
Good times, bad times and all the shades of daylight and dark in-between.

It speaks of the natal wheel as well, birth and transits, progressions, etc…at this stage we are 1/2 way through the major arcana.
The fool has acquired knowledge of all the cards before and is mutating, evolving and seeking elevation in the world (21, The World, the last Major).

The Wheel points to the fickle finger of fate, Lady Luck or Lord of Loss – it represents the decay and eventual descent of the body – in delicate balance with – the growth and rising of the spirit.

The only constant is change.

Time.
Cycles.

The Wheel.

… What card will you pull from your deck… ?   Do tell !

lay lady ley


I have mentioned before the magnetite found in human brains.  Click here  and here for more fascinating info. If an energy surge, or drain is noticeably felt – try constant contact or grounding with the earth –  bare feet on ground is very beneficial, flat out laying on the ground is better..

I am going to get in the grass here shortly before bed, headache.  Tr. Mars exact Pluto and activating my Uranus has prompted (wavy vision, and headaches) and also more explorations into ley lines and earth energies.

For those following the sense of direction bit Perianne and I have been talking about recently: (from link above) some humans, particularly Polynesian navigators, seem able to judge direction in the absence of all obvious cues (Sun, Moon, stars, waves and so on)

Interestingly, the book I am reading mentions blurred vision is an effect of abnormal serotonin levels. The gastrointestinal tract (Virgo rules, that’s Mercury) holds 90% of the bodies  serotonin (my Virgo stellium is getting hammered by Mars now) the rest can be found in neurotransmitters of the central nervous system (Gemini rules, also Mercury).  All the benefics are in Gemini house at the moment, so am in pain, but mellow, thankfully.

I tell you this so maybe you can tune into the energies too … consider it a Uranus Pluto experiment with GneissMoonAstro …

~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Current astro…

For now, keep in mind Uranus in Aries means an activation of the electrical brain (Aries rules: hemispheres are Mercury right; Mars, left.).  Uranus is in square to Pluto in Capricorn which means a changing of the earth, and how we relate to it.
 No, I am not meaning macro scale earth changes – I mean micro changes, our brains, our bio-energies in relation to the changing earth as we walk upon differing fields of magnetism present in the earth.

The human body acts as an antenna – it will pick up and absorb energies from the air (ions) and the earth.  Which polarity depends on the position of the body (we absorb horizontally polarized energies while prone; the opposite when walking around upright.)

Magnetic fields in the earth will vary depending on the type of rock, buried ore and type of fault lines nearby.  I feel the Smokies are a slower, older and wiser energy; the Rockies near the four corners is crisp and quick; the energies around the Northwest seem erratic, restless.  That’s the large scale impression I get, but every square mile has its own properties, and if you live near power lines – they attract even more electrical energies from the ground to broadcast, and this will be felt if you are sensitive to it electricity or magnetism.  See how you feel when you walk around….

I will be dowsing and watching for any weirdness – well more weirdness, that is, lol.
 I will be likely be revisiting magnetics, electricity, the brain and ley lines during the
 Ura/ Pluto squares … so check back…

peace love and solidarity through life’s polarities

neatness is niceness

…it occurred to me this morning that Mars in Virgo really has been all about work, organization and clearing away the clutter in my life.  I saw that coming at the outset … …but what I didn’t expect is the paths I would take in order to do so.  

That is the Uranian kicker swirling in my 9th house mind as this Mars transit wraps things up over my Virgo Sun/Ura/Plu stellium.  That, and the fact that my digestion is now whack with Mars nearing exactly exact conjuncion with Pluto, and headed for the other two.
I am still taking stock, still thinking  how to better Peter Walsh my life, lol. 
Practical purity will be reached !  haha
My boss has this hilarious motto : “Neatness is niceness.”
Eagle scout fyi.  Always prepared.  Always !

Mars in Virgo has indeed been the purge, thankfully not the vomitorium, just the ginormous stagnant life purge.  I am soOo relieved to say goodbye to situations that have outlived their time and so very happy to be cultivating new ideas and promising new growth is popping up everywhere.   Refreshing  !

Mars in Virgo IS VERY EFFICIENT, yes ?

How have you been experiencing Mars in Virgo..?
I am curious…are your skeleton closets all neat & nice ?
Mine are…mostly.  They still need some fine tuning. lol
 Virgos edit 24/7 for life.

How exciting Mars in Libra will be ! – then we will  * BEAUTIFY *.

Mars into Libra July 3 – 7:32am CST, USA
(6.5 hours before Capricorn Full Moon 1:52pm)


peace love and organizing~
