Seems the Dune fear is the mind-killer quote (previous post) prompted some internal cuss & discuss with some readers.

How to break through the wall of fear…?
Good question.

Saturn rules/indicates fear.
Saturn also rules walls, structures, fortifications and solidity – all things blessed when we are in need of them to shelter us from harm – even from ourselves.

Saturn is a pause.  An exalted Libra pause to consider, reflect and refine in order to balance.  If fear comes knocking at your door (all Saturn) …
Pause… until you feel or create your perspective shift then regroup & proceed.

This was a tough new moon for me so I took to the couch prior (yes Toro Moon, quit laughing) and watched every single episode/season of The Tudors back to back, then Elizabeth.
(Cate !)  I have looked for them repeatedly in my local library and rarely found one or two available, never mind all in sequence.  Finding the whole season available in one swell foop – kismet.  A small thing, but I felt blessed – it seemed symbolic of what I personally had to conquer this new moon.  I needed the couch downshift – the mental, physical,  emotional, spiritual reboot – time to escape elsewhere and drift away….which made the switch to vertical reality afterwards all the more bracing. (Yes, another Saturn word.)
::::::

If you can’t walk, crawl.  If you can’t crawl, recline.  Sleep well, long and hard.
Rest until you feel spirit stirring you to create, compete, win – even if only against your former self.  The door to progress will slowly swing open (Gemini) when you are ready to shift into a higher gear/ altitude.

Your mind and heart and spirit will be in agreement.

Steady as she goes, Capt’n.
Tortoises are cautious…they wisely wait…to stick their necks out when they feel safe.
(Moon, Saturn, Moon)

Trust the process.
That is Saturn.

Sad truth, bad Virgo

Meet my girl cat, hiding in the tall weeds of my garden.
Yes, that’s right, my garden.
Bad Virgo.

Sag Moon opp Gem Sun prior to eclipse
and I tell on myself.

Communication spillage.

Gemini is my 6th
(natural Virgo house of daily routine neat freak)
but with everybody and their uncle in there
( Sun, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter )
it seems to be taking me forever
to catch up
the daily chores.
I worked up a storm today
half days both packed – day job, night job
Gem on 6th is twos, two jobs.

Where is your Gemini house ?
Think in doubles !

Where is your Virgo and Pisces
these houses are packing a one two punch !
Mighty big metamorphosis
via
internal discomfort.

Swaggering Sagittarians in your face a bit
…?…
it’ll pass…they’ll wander off soon enough.
once they flash you
the mirror of awareness

::: Creative action is where it’s at :::
Opportunity awaits you
Fire up your Fun
let your spirit pour forth – internal wattage set to
infinity and beyond
Full Moon Eclipse in exploratory Sagittarius
Make it so.

the verse speaketh

Hilar !
Put it right out there buddy !
Leo Moon flair, confidence and check ME out  lol.

I once had a friend who argued “not everything means something”.
Wrong !
I get messages (Mercury) on the roadways constantly.
 (Saturn Rx in 3 trine Mars in 11 – high octave messages)

Once I was wondering “should I go to all 3 shows ?”
Just then, a license plate on a passing car read
Y NOT
Seriously.

Mercury Venus and Jupiter in Gemini – short distance commuting.
 Venus (love) sextile Uranus (God)*

Astrological Oracle Cards

I drew these lovely astrological cards for all of us.
Intent- where to focus to make the most of the energies present in all our charts.

Jupiter is turning direct
Uranus squares Pluto
Saturn and Pluto are in mutual reception.

Soon all planets will be in forward motion, so expect a whoosh of activity.
With work and planning – many improvements and progress can be made at this time.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


On the Left we have MARS
Look to where your Mars lives, also to what other energies it aspects.  
Also look to your Aries house. 
Look to your First house.

On the right we have Scorpio.
Look to where your Scorpio lives, what it aspects.
Look to your Pluto, what it aspects.
Look to your eighth house.

Last, we have Gemini.
Look to your house of Gemini.
Look to Mercury and what it aspects.
Look to your third house.

Think doubles of this energy, or repeats.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

If you tell me what it reveals in your life –
I will reveal what happened to me not one hour after this draw this morning.

Comical, really.
The cards are spot on as usual !

birds of a feather

I’ve been thinking about Saturn, totems, time, family, promises and bonds.

Totem poles are carved to delineate family ancestry, clan history, folklore or real life, or to commemorate a particular individual.

A widespread hawk swooped down today as I was driving and landed in the median next to me.  (No, I am not going to tell you if he landed left or right – time in my life is fluid, in flux, always.)

We were in synch – hawk landed at the exact moment I passed – just as I was speaking my heart aloud.  Yes exact is the term I use because in that moment my words formed a bond.  Hard to explain, but messages from my brother are accentuated in hawks – hawk messages are exclamation points.

Hawks form a bridge between past and present.
Hawk was a manifestation of Grand Air Trine meets physical plane

My brother and Father recently visited in an intuitive reading, via Mercury, Pluto, and Sun in Capricorn….totems, time, family, promises and bonds.

I feel their presence, sometimes more than others, but then I feel your presence as I write this too.  You…yeah you !  My readers, wondering where I am leading you…and showing up regardless of the strange paths I takemany heartfelt thanks (deep bow).
::::::::::::::::::

:::::::::::::::::

So you are wondering why I speak of hawk, when a macaw greeted you at the door ?

Life is not so easily explained.

Many times the larger electro-magnetic spectrum is not apparent until the faceted human crystal is turned, attuned, Neptuned to the proper frequency.

What is said two years ago may not make sense until tomorrow.
A
 bird of the SUN, a Macaw, enlightens me
Is it You ?
Or is it Me ?
Most likely it is US.

Macaws are bold, colorful and Mercurial – they are very intelligent observers, mimics that communicate bird (Uranian) world – – to human (Saturnian) world.  The Macaw is a builder of bridges; an ambassador, a diplomat (Libra).  Clever and cheeky – they watch, pull pranks, turn jokes to delight and amuse. (Leo)

Macaws ARE portals between worlds.

Mercurial Macaws can also be repetitive copycats that speak without thinking.  Their words can be hollow, shallow, gossipy and twisted to be pleasing to the ear for a time, but not necessarily grounded, or in any way promisorial in nature.  Tricky pranksters that enjoy a leg – pull, they are master manipulators, who enjoy clowning around – not necessarily on any shared emotional time schedule, if you get my drift.

Macaws in my head are thinkbirdtankbrains : Mercury Uranus Libra and Leo.
Most importantly, the Hyacinth Macaws pictured above are red listed.
Thoughts ?

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…

What’s up cool kats ?
Just checking in on ya.

hands up
who’s feeling the weird
?

good luck with communication
    Neptooney is creating
 woo woo obstacle courses
in the airwaves
so just thump the earth
once for yes, two for no.

Fog squares Sun, Mercury and Jupiter
    trines Saturn (earth)

Saturn is soaking in Venusian spas
exalted and mellow in Libra
while he also
    trines Venus Rx in Gemini

Venus Rx quintiles oddball boho Uranus
from the house of chit – chat
genius expressions are flirting with our consciousness
love, creativity, equality, peace of mind
friendship and gifts of spirit
birth of ideas
grab a pen & write them down

Jupiter is in the Venusian spa too
dream big, folks
  where to you want to go
?
Jupiter is Lord of this upcoming eclipse
anything is possible

Neptune casts the net of big tease
direct communication is difficult – read between the lines
brush up on your body signals
close your eyes relax and float downstream…

Venus Rx quintile Uranus
knows what’s up
she is just taking her sweet time
that’s all…

Virgo Mars is serving up a plate of squares
yes.

Squares motivate us to our highest potential
our creative spirit is thinking
trying thoughts on for size
we are alert
we are dexterous

analyze : define goal : change

~~~~~~~

we are headed for
the partial lunar eclipse at 14 degrees Sagittarius
June 4 CST, USA

Jupiter is Lord of this eclipse
saturated in Venus at 28 degrees of Taurus
envision love
  our subconscious selves are hitching a ride with
North Node of Destiny
Full Moon revelations are forthcoming
  our treasure map of destiny
is in the mail

– personal relationships are highlighted –

personal planets at eclipse
are a short-term jangle of squares and oppositions
the outer planets are our long-term anchors
 through trines
 tap the Saturn balance- the justice in Libra
get your Pluto morph game on

Eclipse moon activates
what we think & what we see
mutable energies change it up
have a back – up plan
but be ready to roll with or without it

Virgo Mars is the focal planet of the
eclipse T-square
 what is revealed at lunation will shift
not only how we think, but also how we act
about what we think

Cancer rising
makes Moon ruler of the eclipse chart
if the water gets rough – get tough
 channel Saturn – it trines Sun Mercury and Venus Rx

Lord of the Eclipse trines MC
 what we learn will enable us to achieve our highest goals
keep the faith
~~~~~

Neptune stations Rx later the same day
4:05 pm CST, USA
while quintile disseminating Moon
 trine Mercury
and square Jupiter and North Node

we forgot something
we have to go back and pick it up
so we can carry it with us into the future
 something needs to be said
to create emotional balance
before the Venus event

the whistle pig

A groundhog crossed my path on my way home today…

Just before I began, finally – at long last, to dig my garden …. !
Spirit message incoming ~

Groundhog medicine is getting in tune with the earth, alleyways to the subconscious and insight into the workings and pathways of the underworld.

Groundhog represents being open to the paths of dreamtime explorations and altered states of consciousness.  This is often the totem of shamans and mystics.

Lessons regarding death & rebirth, entering into the subconscious underworld without harm, as well as boundary controls are delivered by groundhog.  (They hibernate below the freeze line in a special ‘winter dugout’.)

Groundhog also brings choice and inventive problem-solving for their burrows usually have two to five entrances.  Gemini anyone .. ?  Witty ways out !

Trivia:
Woodchuck stems from an Algonquian name for the animal, wuchak.
 Ned Ryerson + the Whistling Belly Button trick, lol.
Now  I get it.   The whistling bit,  that is.

how much wood ?
