News came in this eve that someone close to me was the victim of police brutality.    Tasered, cuffed, kicked/beaten bloody while unconscious without provocation.  Onlookers called an ambulance (disregarding police warnings to mind their own business), thankfully putting a stop to what could have been much worse.

Mars rules police, weapons, and aggression; obviously tazers are Uranus.

Briefly, big factors via transits were Saturn return with Full Moon in Capricorn (7.12) square natal Mercury/Neptune conjunction while transiting Mars/N Node rode same conjunction.  Transiting Jupiter rode natal Uranus which squared the same natal conjunction.
Cardinal cross landed in solar houses 1,4,7,10 aka crisis and an outrush of activity.

Saturn rules justice (or lack thereof), karma, restriction; Jupiter on Uranus equals one hell of a surprise.
Note: Transits listed are not those of the defendant, but of rather those of a close relation.
I don’t have the heart to say much of anything else.
Signing off as I usually do.

Peace.

Sun is in Taurus; in 9 days dark moon meets Sun and Mercury for a New Moon Solar Eclipse. 

The last quarter moon is a time of contemplation, re-adjustments, attunement and elimination of the unnecessary. As the moonlight dims to dark we enter the balsamic moon phase.  This lunar phase is the bridge between two worlds – the past is ending, the future new moon is approaching.  This is a time of shaded solitude, silence and endings – wise crones and contemplative navel-gazing hermits.  Deep contemplation of intentions for new moon growth stir deep within.
New Moon is the time for fresh starts and new beginnings, new initiatives.  Filled with instinct and outbound energy, we express how and where we choose to grow.
fyi: Next full Moon is May 14 at 23 Scorpio

New Moon magick done in the sign of Taurus is excellent for patient long lasting changes in the realms of: peace of mind, earnings and self-worth, gifts given or taken, altitudes surrounding time, love, money, sensual pleasures, resourcefulness and land.

This covers any and all things you value, also what you want to increase in value.
Contemplate the energy exchanges in your life surrounding these issues, and make adjustments accordingly.  New Moon at 8 (early) degrees is particularly good for steady long-term growth.

Consider these small but powerful natural magicks:

Seed ritual – your intent coupled with a seed you plant in the earth (houseplant works) and nurture to full growth. As the plant grows, so does your spell.
Earth / Air ritual – your intent powered & painted onto a small cloth in sigil form. Raise your flag into the sky, sing your spell as the wind also carries it into the aether. *

* I chose this combo because Mercury (air) is Lord of this earthy New Moon Eclipse and trines Pluto Rx in Capricorn. Note Pisces Venus (rules Taurus) is also quintile (genius creative expressions, specialized talents) Pluto at eclipse – resurrection of love and money and peace of mind are favored.

continuous becoming

I was thinking of hope for all of us when I drew this card.  A card of hope that will lead us to our highest manifestations on the Earthly plane as well as the spiritual, emotional and mental planes.

THE SOURCE
The nature of flowing and continuous becoming.

Venus on Neptune today – the octaves of artistic expression, healing and music in harmony plus in trine to Jupiter in Cancer.

Transformative cure of issues involving faith, beliefs, and personal zen are incoming to houses:
Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio.

This card is going with the flow, practicing adaptability – which is certainly needed during these tough aspects of the Cardinal Cross.  Inner growth in tandem with outer growth, with very little rest or rebound time.  Go easy, rest up and bob & weave.
This card relates to Temperance.

I read this recently, found it indicative of the current aspects above us…

The soul desires empowerment and expansion through new forms of knowledge and new ways of deeply relating to others and the world.  The ego requires security through familiarity,  seeking to defend its own comfort zone from the powerful urge to transform past prior limitations.

Total Lunar Eclipse Visibility below.  Note: Eclipse energies generally stronger for those in the visible path, revelations are more intense. Also note: Full Moon means news incoming from your house of Libra.

April TLE visDuring this lunar eclipse, Earth is between Aries Sun and Libra Moon opposition, bringing material earth matters between conscious ego / subconscious feeling principles.  We wrestle with emotional issues as they surface at hyperdrive eclipse speeds – strive to consciously express them into genius fruition into the material plane.  This of course, has the potential to erupt into the classic it sounded waaay cooler in my head dilemma because we are dealing with a lot of I know what I wants – now how do I get its.
Practical skillsets, structured sensations, goal achievements are finding balance in the realms of I Am This & You are That aka: relationships/ partnerships THE Dance that keeps the species going.

Charm LibraAccurate Libran Aleuromancy 

Not to be outdone, Earth is also between Cancer Jupiter and Capricorn Pluto Rx opposition.  These heavyweights are demanding compromise & cooperation in the realms of Old Family & New Status.  What used to work isn’t necessarily working now. Collectively, we are finally getting on board with this game plan.  Green energy, natural foods, using earth & water & air sensitively.

We personally and globally feel the tension between all these aspects on a very personal level via squares which cause internal friction.  We are forced to face past failures and fix them, alter course to harmonious success to the best of our abilities.

Transmute cardinal square energy by TAKING POSITIVE ACTION.
Find a way around your obstacles – shift personal perspectives.

When handled correctly, Cardinal Cross creative tension leads to accelerated positive personal growth.  Getting pissy and ripping other people’s heads off for not toeing your party line is obviously not productive, BEING the CHANGE you want to SEE, is.

Uranus square Pluto heats up to the 5th of 7 exact hits for this Full Moon Eclipse. 
5 = Venus here. ** Fascinating, yes ?
7 = Uranus here.  Freedom – hallelujah !

Total Lunar Eclipse with North Node (beneficial emo changes) is ruled by Venus (Lord of Eclipse) which dovetails between Neptune and Chiron in Pisces.  Venus and Neptune are octaves of love/art/touch, obviously beneficial.  In tandem with the vibe of the centaur, Chiron: philosopher, healer, teacher/mentor, trainer of heroes – all in trine to Jupiter in Cancer, exalted.
We have healing, people, plain and simple.
Love healing, artistic healing, spiritual healing, ditching addictions for intuitive idealism, Jedi Masters in the making.

Chiron, Jupiter, Saturn Rx grand water (emotional) trine – deep well of psyche diving. Karma/genetics/wounded healers.  Something is lost, something gained.
Chiron quincunx Mars Rx – altitude adjustments in the brainpan, morality shifts re: risks, actions, men via relationships – find your sea legs, ck compass, alter course.

Venus/Chiron sextile Pluto Rx in Capricorn (mutual reception with Saturn Rx in Scorpio, ye olde skool Use it or Lose it/Trash to Treasure transit.
Use your gifts to heal others. 

Mercury/Uranus conjunction in Aries opposite Full Moon/Mars – please use vehicular caution, manage motor mouth – when in question, play it cool and close to the vest.  Mars Rx is not necessarily firing bull’s-eye straight at the mo.

::: These are love shakedown perspective shifter eclipses :::
1 break with outdated mental traditions
2 begin constructing new neural nets

Placing bets that someone says something strangely synchronous –in fact, two things– that blow your mind/shift your emotional perspective – causing you to alter your course to a higher vibration.

These eclipses are part of Saros Series 16 South highlighting cycles of mis-directed energy, needless sacrifice for the collective.  Brainstorms, intuitive comms likely; best used for internal re-programming rather than outward actions.

Asteroid Sekhmet preheats the solar eclipse degree of 8 Taurus from the lunar eclipse.

Sekhmet is a destroyer goddess, derived from sekhem, or power, and khem which means dark chaos that gives birth to light.  She represents the transformation of death into wisdom and enlightenment – she is the flame, the scorching sun that burns away the enemy/dark side.  When sent by the Sun God, Ra to punish non-worshipping humans, Sekhmet nearly annihilated the entire human race, drinking blood as she killed.  Ra then ordered mandrake brew to be mixed with the blood of fallen victims.  Sekhmet drank, became happily intoxicated, ending her vicious slaughter.

Sekhmet embodies lust, passion, strength and magick.

How ironic the juxtaposition of Sekhmet & these eclipses – yes ?

Cardinal Cross perfects for the Lunar Eclipse and to some extent havoc ensues.
Electric ideas are popping in our Mars-ruled Aries heads ricocheting off all corners trying to find a place to ground which is btw, PLUTO.  aka: death/rebirth
Only.  Earth. Placement.
Mayhem driven intellectual Metamorphosis.

Solar Eclipse delivers much more steadfast solidarity, less freak the fuck out crisis energy. Cardinal Cross is still humming along in the background, but is less sensitive due to Toro zen luminaries, Mercury.  The choice is made, we’re making maps, building roads & bridges so we can drive our asses into the promised land.

AA ToroAccurate Toro Aleuromancy

Toro Solar Eclipse is very much Venus flavored, but the close proximity of Mercury to Sun/Moon makes Mercury Lord of the Solar Eclipse.
Visibility here.
Trickster is steady as she goes in Taurus – grounded trine to Pluto; sextiles to Neptune and Jupiter in water signs.  Feelers out – engage intellectual innovation & creative willpower for highest manifestation.

Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Taurus finds Venus past emo depth charges found in the Neptune/Chiron conjunction at first eclipse and firmly regenerating healing growth via new emotional roots with a (separating) trine to Saturn Rx in Scorpio.
The gift of a creative genius quintile to Pluto emphasizes this with Pluto/Saturn in mutual reception.
Jupiter and Saturn Rx are meeting in harmonious trine while Mercury moves to sextile Jupiter and Neptune from Toro.  It occurs to me that student teaching gigs work.
(Mercury/Gem & Sagittarius/Jupes energy are the students & teachers)
Despite the hurdles and mistakes along the way, these gigs work because it is vital to DO the WORK – DAILY.  If we wait to make offerings until we are perfect scholars, the show is already over. 

Lunar Eclipse Cardinal Cross is JUST DO IT energy.
Mercury/Uranus Aries
Solar Eclipse Cardinal Cross is patient practice, skills earned & learned.
Mercury/Sun/Moon Taurus

Consider these things when you begin working with New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus. Mundane matters are favored, such as increase of wealth, sensuality, peace of mind, patience and good sense.
Eclipse energies bring wild fluctuation, but are also packed with power for positive personal and collective change.

Cardinal Cross 003

Breath of the Night Oracle

Quick read asking cards for central theme to focus towards re: Cardinal Cross
Sky square with a big red X from corner to corner – dealing with the inner & outer.

Cardinal energies drive us to take our lead, enthusiastically express ourselves, seek exploration into all corners.  Express, take the temps, re-apply force.

The central card is the hub of the wheel aka: Earth – where we meet the cross. 

Not surprisingly, mountain was pulled – indicating a need to go around. 
Cardinal energy is jangling elbows unless we are able to work the energy properly.

Keeping each point of stress in motion, in circular flux & being fluid is key.

Healing the inner child is indicated.  Leaving behind that which does not support beneficial growth.  Venus Rx in Capricorn (heart, tower) is calling us to examine Mother, nurturing, family (Cancer – womb and the tomb; child, tower).  We also examine our money, values and self-worth our status (heart, tower).

We reconsider how we have built our foundations since childhood, change tactics if need be (stork, tower).  Shedding unwanted situations, transformation upward is the hallmark of Saturn mutual reception Pluto in stodgy Capricorn. (Stork, tower)

Stork moves UP, leaves behind cold hurts of the past, as loves and young innocence are lost, growth and maturity is established and we move onwards and upwards …

business & bizness

Posted on by

holding-hands-HD-WallpapersCardinal squares and opposition energies between (Capricorn) borders and (Cancer) families erupt again.  I was done for the night, but it boggles my mind that as human beings we are still dealing with marriage inequality.

Admittedly, I have Capricorn ASC and Libra MC, so equal rights of any and all kinds is a no-brainer for me – ? but really ? – globally we are still hashing over who can get legally married, share assets and start a family ?  It is after all their business, their love, their marriage and their assets.

AChoudry
Ali Choudhry and Dr. Matthew Hynd run the risk of not only being separated, but Ali runs the risk of being deported to Pakistan, a country he is unfamiliar with (Ali grew up in the US), he does not speak the language or have contacts there and being openly gay means he is subject to imprisonment or death.

Australian immigration does not view their long-standing 4-year relationship valid though they married in a civil union in March of 2012 under a Queensland state law which was then repealed by the incoming Liberal-National Coalition Queensland Government three months later.  A review of the partnership rejection/visa application was denied.

Australia is Sagittarius (Jupiter rules), Taurus (Venus rules).
Venus and Jupiter energies are retrograde aka: review, reorient, revision.

Venus (marriage) is retrograde in Capricorn the sign of parameters and borders.
Jupiter (law) is retrograde in Cancer the sign of family and home.
Jupiter Rx opposes Capricorn energies of Pluto, Sun, Mercury and Venus Rx signaling a need to revise parameters between family and public matters via compromise, cooperation.
Squares to Aries and Libra is active change (Mars/Uranus) leading us into a future of equal rights.  Humans globally juggling for compromise and cooperation re: family equality.

The cycle of worldly suffering is mind turned outwardly,
lost in its projections.
The ending of suffering and great peace is mind turned inwardly,
recognizing its nature.

:::Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche:::

Lovely illustration, yes ?  Castles and antlers from the brainpan. 
Obv, my Saturn in Aries loves it for the bones & stones quality, my Sag Mars by the backdoor loves the dreamstates. It is also a nod to the slow death of big corp culture.

Cardinal square days of late are filled with tension between self and others, home and business – and the whole shebang is causing internal tensions around the wheel. 
Whizbangers gung-ho to GO !

Saturn is holding down the fort of opportunities via work.  Work on your self, your business, your relationships, your headspace.

I am familiar with this grand cross energy, my former husband and I had this in our composite – though ours was mutable and offset by a harmonious mystic rectangle.
Reading the grand cross is an aspect of great strength if the energy is used correctly was a case of hindsight being 20/20 in our case – but it is true. 

Diving into the moshpit and flying our best interpretive dance moves is pretty much all there is to do at this point if we want to move & groove it on UP. 
Uranus in Aries is weighing in very heavily for Let Your Freak Flag Fly while *4 personal planets are powered up for regeneration via lots and Lots and LOTS of WORK..

Adaptation, improvisation.

* Thinking, communicating, loving, attracting, money, partnerships and career are superpowered by Martian energy squaring them making them MOVE to WORK out the friction.  Release the old and embrace the new.  SHINY !

Jupiter Rx opposing Cap central from Cancer – timely to mention that projection is highly possible when supercranky (eg. Moon energies under duress) and feeling opposed by another. Capricorn nose to the grindstone, minding our own business works a charm ! 

The Uranian boho influence increases when Moon moves into Aquarius Thursday and moves to sextile Uranus and trine Mars – emotional comms may take an odd inventive turn.  Greased lightning !   Just sayin’.

One last thing, the twitter marketing sales pitch dangled in front of comedian Patton Oswalt prior to new moon ?  
Def. not savvy astromarketing –  1. moon is weakest before new  2. Sun, Moon and Mercury (sales) in honorable Capricorn and Pluto powered aka: big corp take down  3.everything Saturn flavored opposed Jupiter in retrograde (rules marketing) in moon-ruled Cancer aka: the public.
Hilarious deets HERE.
