Sideways

Fog. Swamp. Rain.
Insight. Heal. Transcend.

Well this has been an interesting week.  Anytime Neptune takes a hit, so do I.
It is my most highly aspected planet and it shows.
Heads UP, keep an eye on yours too.  It will reveal volumes.

Pluto by transit is also square my chart ruler (Saturn Rx) and coming to trine my Moon which trines natal Pluto (Uranus / Sun in Virgo) and is in opposition to natal Neptuner.
I was wondering how this would play out. 
As it happens, it was in the dream I mentioned earlier.  Valentines night. 
Details remain secret. 
I will say it is funny and odd how Pluto ripped up the turf and surf in sideways.

Cosmic pinball !

Sun is coming to conjunct Neptune, Chiron and Mercury in Pisces ~ incoming !
You have mail !

Healing and discreet communiques are holding court, taking the stage ~
but in the dark – behind the curtain.
Don’t expect to make sense of it right away~
This is Neptune, it will wash over you in waves, seep and creep into the nooks crannies and crevices of your life.

Everyone has this opportunity to go swamp mining Chiron is sextile Pluto in the middle of the rolling conjunction I mentioned above.

Roll up yer sleeves and go at it !  Slog through the mud !

Soon the Sun will sextile Pluto and light will be in dark places.
Healing is in progress and insight is forthcoming on all stations.

When the Sun comes out, you will be amazed.

night flight

Flying on my Dreams II Artist: IceQueen777 (click)

This morning when I awoke and slowly rose to shake off the last bits of sleep, images began to form in my mind’s eye of my nights travels.

I had landed softly on a lush green daisy – strewn sunlit field after flying above a city waving and blowing kisses at strangers on the ground.  It was a much needed dream that brought serenity and peace of mind.  

Clouds were drifting past me and I was toasty warm having a blast looking and waving at the world below me… I even visited someone while still dreaming and told them how cool my flight to their house was.   I played games with their son while we patiently waited for dinner.  

I rarely remember dreams these days so it was a lovely Valentine’s gift from the universe.

I looked at my transit info asap, of course.  Transit Venus coming to conjunct Saturn in Aries which is trine Mars in Sagittarius (long-distance travel) in 11th house (natural house of Aquarius and flight).
My Mars is also quintile (spiritual gift) Uranus so flying dreams and yes, a bit of amour tossed in as well.  Lucky me ! xo

Flying dreams represent your ambition and wishes taking flight.  The condition of the flight you take in your dream represents how easy or difficult your climb to success will be for you.

Larks & Owls

The Siesta by Frederick Arthur Bridgman

Neptune going into Pisces may very well bring the return of the luxurious nap.
I’m a night owl…you ?
~~~~

Using magnetic resonance imaging-guided brain stimulation, scientists (click) tested muscle torque and the excitability of pathways through the spinal cord and brain.
They found that morning people’s brains were most excitable at 9 a.m. This slowly decreased through the day.
It was the polar opposite for evening people, whose brains were most excitable at 9 p.m.

Evening people became physically stronger throughout the day, but the maximum amount of force morning people could produce remained the same.

Click here for more on your chronotype.  Chronos is time, or Saturn.  Sleep cycles are built around rhythms in our bodies, light, food intake, blood pressure and sugar all determine our personal rhythm, our body clock.

I have experimented asking people if they are larks (am people) or owls (pm people) by looking at their charts.
I have speculated on planetary placements and emphasis above or below the horizon, the position of Neptune and Moon (sleep) and their aspects.   At this time, my results are across the board.

Insomnia can be indicated by hard aspects to Moon, Mercury, Mars, Uranus or Neptune in the natal.

Mars superpowers what it transits with energy, restlessness.
Mercury transits can indicate increased nervous tension.
Uranus transits indicate a sudden change.

If any or these transits are in hard aspect to Moon or Neptune – it may disrupt your sleep patterns.
Dreams are Moon, Neptune and 9th house (Sagittarius) or higher planes of thinking and traveling.

So in that case, siesta !
I love naps.  Neptune most highly aspected, Moon exalted in Taurus, with the majority of my planets in the south. 
(Near the mid-heaven or noon).

Are you are an early riser…?… or a night owl ?
How is your Neptune for sleeping and dreaming ?

Electric Moon

To dream of a lodestone denotes favorable opportunities for advancement, it is an omen of happy changes.

My Neptune (rules dreams) is in the 11th house, the natural house of Aquarius – ruled by Uranus, which rules magnetics and lightning.
Lodestones are magnetic, said to be naturally magnetized by lightning strike.
The moon is full in Aquarius, the sign of inventors, humanitarians and forward- thinkers.

~~~~~~~~~
Now for some progressive astro science ~> Uranus rules science and astrology !
An iron core inserted into a solenoid (wire coil with electric current running through it) can multiply the magnetic field in the solenoid by a factor of tens, even thousands.  *

So I’ve been giving lots of attention to what I am magnetically attracting via my Mars (rules iron) trine from the 11th to the 3rd house of thinking.

Mars needs to lead and Uranus isn’t a follower, but in my case they are working together (Mars Quintile -spiritual gifts- Uranus) on a path of spiritual freedom and exploration.

~~~~~~~~~~~
I also have the magnetic Sun conjunct Uranus (rules magnetics) so I keep an eye on the solar cycles and any activity on the surface of the sun.  The picture above is a X6.9 flare 4 days ago.  The most powerful flare measured with modern methods was in 2003, during the last solar maximum, and it was so powerful that it overloaded the sensors measuring it. The sensors cut out at X28. *

I have read that some sensitive to solar activity can be more likely to have seiziures, dizziness, or disrupted sleep during heightened solar geomagnetic storms.
I experienced some slight dizziness during the last one, but as far as I’m conerned, the jury’s still out.  Did you feel anything ?

Uranus rules vision, magnetics and birds.  In the late 1970s, the physicist Klaus Schulten concluded that birds navigate by relying on geomagnetically sensitive biochemical reactions in their eyes, specifically, the protein cryptochrome. *

I have a very good sense of direction…where is your Uranus and how is your sense of direction..?  I am curious.   (Uranus rules curiosity)

Uranus also rules sensitive skin and conjunct Sun, I am prone to sunstroke…especially at high altitudes, and I tend to be a bit high-strung as Uranus rules the nervous system.
~~~~~~~~

Aquarius is an air (communication) sign, but known as the water-bearer.
It is a fixed sign, yet totally unpredictable.

Uranus can be fabulous highly charged eccentric ideas coming in flash twinges of intuition ( I knew I would own the house I presently live in when my foot- Neptune rules the feet- touched the driveway) or it can be erratic shocking shakedowns coming out of nowhere that cause a change in perspective in an instant.

Neptune rules humming (probably why I heard the Taos hum) and Aquarius rules birds.  I could tell you a story about how my Neptune squares from Scorpio to Leo (rules the heart) can be wrapped up in a tiny little bird with a heart rate that can reach up to 1260 beats in a minute….but I won’t.  That’s my 8th house of secrets, I’ll just say I have learned to regenerate and that’s all the Mercury Rx ‘pay dirt’ you’re gonna get.
