Shield

Today’s quick pull is to shed light on the hidden aspects between this full Virgo Moon and the incoming Solar Eclipse at 29 Pisces here.
I have particular interest (my Sun is opposite at 29 Virgo) but this question is for everyone.  I chose to shine a light around the corner into what we cannot see but need to between these aspects.

The World:  Fulfillment, completion and dancing for joy because of it !

This I find so interesting…because our lives go ever on and on, the learning continues and space opens up with each generation.  Pisces knows no boundaries, nor Virgo if they nitpick projects to death.

Completion is relative.
To be precise: we have completed one phase of many.

So much we do not know – SO MUCH !
Yesterday, a fossil was found in Ethiopia which pushes the arrival of Homo on the East African landscape back almost half a million years, to 2.8 million years ago.
Even at that, the human lifespan is just a blip on the timeline of Earth and even less so in regards to Precession of the Equinoxes. < Watch, stunning.

Rune: Algiz
An elk, a shield – protection.
This rune symbolizes a connection to the Gods, an Awakening.
Call on yours if you need to.

Follow your instincts and channel energy into crafting your shield.
Whatever that means to you.

Elk is incredibly personally relevant to me WoW, soOo many dreams including one last night. See Virgo Full Moon post.

Heading into Uranus Pluto energy – I called for the crucible, the crux of Uranus/Pluto.
During both the Lunar and Solar Eclipse.

Interestingly, Byelborg/Chernoborg are the Slavic gods of Day/Night.
Apt for Eclipses, yes ?!

The Work
Concentration of mental effort.  Logic !  

Authority through intellect.
Being thorough, building with wise words.
Respect earned by steady, constant work and the mature wisdom that accompanies that body of work.

Boundaries, strong mental thought focused to brilliance – the 3rd eye Sun.  

This card indicates inspiration (yang) or deception (yin).
That which is seen – that which is not.
Again – very apt for Eclipses.

Circumstances change lightning fast with Eclipses !

Solar eclipse points to bright new beginnings.  
Lunar Eclipse highlights endings, melancholy that accompanies emotional loss.  

Make both work for you.

Peace GMA

continuous becoming

photo 40Tarot of the Origins

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.

Eclipses. 
RESPECT !

Eclipses interp here – Power Steering.

Like many, I am having one hell of an eclipse ride, and yes, I have a few choice words to add to the celestial gumbo.  Moon IS in Virgo, after all.
I am finding my voice, becoming stronger.

Astrology is the best tool for understanding wtf is going on with me & you & everybody else.  Above and beyond the clarity it delivers as an intricate personal life map, astrology delivers amazingly profound insights into how & why people approach life differently.  Any expectation of similar reactions between any two people becomes decisively idiotic when one is intimately familiar with the myriad of astrological variables.

Trust – Virgos LOVE being intimately familiar with a myriad of variables.

Asteroid Logos 58534 – Logical, rational, reasoned discourse.  Data, variables, weaving sacred patterns, shamanic distillation, extraction or assemblage.
currently Logos Rx at 28 Virgo (at the nodal degree)

I had yet another eclipse deal breaker moment earlier this evening.
I think outside the box, do my own thing, which is not often appreciated, or accepted.

Pfft. Fuckit.  I’m done.  It has been a loOong time coming.
FiveFiveFive on the clock when I left work + a nanosecond after my circuit breaker finally blew, Ganesha popped off the wall.  BOOM

That brings me to something else, my writing.  The circuit breaker I am referring to above is my brain – I know my writing sometimes throws a tangential curve Phrases drop into my brainpan via Saturn Aries 3 trine Sag Mars quintile Uranus 9 + Merc MC quintlie ASC.  Many times I have heard that I have said the exact word/phrase called for in a reading that confirms, clarifies, is the catalyst for change.

These phrases from the multiverses are triggers meant to shift your perspective.

I don’t and won’t write ponderous prose pieces with corners tucked so tight you can bounce a quarter to the ceiling.  I don’t slip chocolates under your word pillow or give you the tit.  My writing style is Aesop’s, Cliff’s Notes, Dynamic Ditty.
Countless times what I write is correct at the backdoor, only to disappear/change via strange computer blips upon public post. (Sun/Ura/Plu 9) 
I don’t like it, but I live with it, I am the unapologetic Queen of Edit.

Next full disclosure – I cover addiction astrology here at GMA for a reason – I am one.
Classic Venus square Neptuner issue + when you toss in biggie-size Jupiter…well it ain’t pretty.  Several months ago, someone said something that pissed me off, triggered something else that pissed me off and next thing I know, deamon brew has me by the throat again.  I was doing all I could to fix the sitch privately without a win.  It sucked. 
Then my catalyst walked in, recalibrated my headspace – cold turkey, just like always.  Eight weeks out today.

Speaking of deamons and Archangels, I have no qualms about using both decks side by side.  Why ?  I know my shadow side I don’t live there – but I know it.  Those who refuse to look are (as my old therapist used to say) frosting the turd.
I have far too much Scorpio for that. + I am a multi-Virgo intimately familiar with a myriad of variables.

Love and light decks lean too far to the saccharine, equate the devil to a bad day, 10 of swords to oops ! the unicorn fainted – while some deamon decks are too far entrenched in the negative abyss, the devil becomes spirit possession in need of exorcism, 10 of swords becomes serial killer rampage.

My intent as Divenusian is to uncover the truth – plain and simple.
I use each deck as a foil to the other.

Wars on Kinkade Digital Art by Jeff BennettWars on Kinkade – Jeff Bennett

So…is it just me…or is life itself a tad bit incongruous of late ?
haaa eclipse mambo WoOoHOOo

I used to do framing here and there, once worked in a refurbished gristmill selling wildlife art.  So very Saturnian, yes ?
Some folks love Kinkade, ‘painter of light’, bow-legged Amish stick figures, Caucasian looking American Indians – and I’m not one of them.

As you can imagine, I was happy to move on from that gig, I’m not such a good art liar with 8th house Leo Venus/Jupes in square to Neptuner.  I would regularly get tossed questions on the value of wildlife prints and duck decoys which were so not my forte. 

Hanging in my house was the wire helmet of an art school poet, Doug, who had worn it during a legendary performance art piece when he drank his own piss.  The helmet was then handed off to a friend who created a paper sculpture with dripping flesh hanging from it in protest to a large chemical company moving into town.

So yeah, incongruous.

You get used to it.  When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
So, on to the astro…

war_on_kinkade_01_by_rolanddeschane-d6rmek0Seven hits of Uranus square Pluto as follows:
1. 06 2012 – Pluto Rx – 8 degrees
2. 09 2012 Uranus Rx – 6 degrees
3. 05 2013 Pluto Rx – 11 degrees
4. 11 2013 Uranus Rx – 9 degrees

5. 04 21 2014 Pluto Rx – 13 degrees 
6. 12 15 2014 Uranus Rx – 12 degrees 
7. 03 17 2015 Both Direct – 15 degrees 

Uranus transits here.
Pluto transits here.

Perfecting the square forces us to run the obstacle course in the houses they transit.
I love the switch hitting retrogrades leading up to the last meeting when both are fully operational, all pistons firing in the same direction.
I do so look forward to that.

war_on_kinkade_07_by_rolanddeschane-d6rmedkAlso of note – these eclipses are, as previously mentioned, happening in
1 Libra
2 Taurus
BOTH are ruled by VENUS.

Another spin around the Rare Venus Occultation of June 2012 is advised.
That event happened June 5, these squares began shortly thereafter on the 24th.

Second, Venus is – as of today – in Pisces for this set of eclipses.
Venus is exalted in Pisces aka ringing like a love tuning fork – universal compassion, balance, justice, forgiveness, spiritual intelligence, inspired creativity, transcendent love.

Harmony is on the horizon – seemingly illogical quirks are required resets.
Relationship rules / roles are in a mystical metamorphosis phase.

Cardinals initiate – literally, initiate. 
We’re surfing the probation/purgatory, student/teacher apprenticeship eclipse waves.

Learning curves incoming – be resilient, diligent, vigilant.
Show your QUALITY, the very highest.

peace & love
Gneiss Moon

ps. Quality, ruled by Jupiter, is currently exalted in Cancer

New Moon Solar Eclipse 11 degrees Scorpio
visibility here, maximum in So. Atlantic region – near Sierra Leone & Congo, Africa
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Shadows of the lunar emotions fall upon the earth / material plane, ego / pride take a quiet backseat while the undercurrents roll in the house of shared resources.

Eclipse reaches maximum in a region rife with history of blood diamonds, now a living land rush for palm oil plantations – heartbreaking manifestations of corporate greed – desire for money run roughshod over the poor and the land they live and love on.
