Heh.  Metamorph Mambo.  This will be interesting.  As you can see, we will all be very busy under this sky in the upcoming weeks.
::: Eclipses are FLASH POINTS :::
Speeding events through the portal MAY CAUSE DISTORTION and FEEDBACK.

First up to bat: Full Moon Eclipse in Aries at 25 degrees puts Sun in Libra opposite Moon in Aries, both in square to Jupiter in Moon-ruled Cancer.
Emotionally driven action that leads to balance re: feelings, memories, mother, home via changes in philosophy, travel, the ethics of moving ahead – onward through the past.

Virgo Mars (rules Aries) is the Eclipse Head Honcho, (HA ! Aries joke) in opposition to Neptune Rx in Pisces – fuzzy logic may be coming your way re: what to think and how to morph. TAKE YOUR LEAD here, people – Mars widely trines Full Aries Moon.

Go with your instincts, go with your gut !  

This eclipse spotlights personal growth and independence.

Check the house where Aries lands in your natal.
This is how and where you be be BLAZING YOUR TRAIL.
See what is up with your natal Mars & Jupiter – BIG clues & Keys here.

Luna widely conjunct (12 degrees) South Node in Toro is a nod to LETTING GO.
Completion, moving away from something or someone you love/loved.
SHINY !

Mars Head Honcho trines metamorphic Pluto in Capricorn from Earthy earth, earth, earth Virgo.  Grounded. Stable – we are feeling good in other ways, unexpected Uranus square Pluto ways.

Venus SEES ALL POSSIBILITIES in Sagittarius & she also ATTRACTS THEM !
We are learning, growing and stretching and it feels GREAT !
One door slams shut, and a window FLIES OPEN.
Steady as she goes Capt’n . . .

Anything in the ballpark of 25 degrees +/- 5 will be feeling it – late degrees of Cardinal signs will be working it via square.  (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)

Note: Eclipse energies are active for weeks, sometimes months before and after the actual event.  (Sun will square eclipse point in 3 months; oppose in 6 – ck Aries progress at this time)

Late degrees of Leo and Sag offer support (also opportunities re: hope, honor, generosity of spirit) through awareness.  Late Aquarius and Gemini offer emotional support via open lines of communication.

Note: Mercury stations 3 days after Eclipse and stations can be tricky aka: rocky re: comms of all kinds.  Think 2x, speak 1x.  We ARE talking ARIES here.

House Scorpio supports Jupiter – focal planet of Eclipse T-Square.
Meaning dig deep, tweak perspectives – see both sides of self and other.

Saturn, North Node of Destiny and Mercury are the in-house rolling conjunction trine sensate sponge Neptune, and teacher/philosopher Chiron in Pisces.
Remember most of all, to move forward with the sense of humor well oiled and firing on all pistons and everyone will come out grinning, winning and healed.

peace out

Sad truth, bad Virgo

Posted on by

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.

peace

Moon into Sagittarius
4:49 pm CST, USA

Tons of fun in Gemini at the moment.
All soon to oppose Full Moon in Sagittarius

Saturday May 25
11:10am CST, USA
Penumbral Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4 degrees Sagittarius
here
Full Moon 11:25

This eclipse is a Super Moon, which means the moon is perigee or closest point of approach to the earth.  The weather is often more intense, tides will be higher and lower near the exact date in addition to an increase in wind activity.  Again, lunar traits will be more strongly felt – emotions, home, family, instincts come strongly into focus, and sensitivity is keen.

Mercury, Venus are conjunct Jupiter = bionic thinking / communicating.
Sun square Neptune, illusions and inspirations are at high tide at the moment.
Emotions are as well with the super moon – go in knowing it !
Wild Weekend !

If the energies are too high octane with others – concentrate on your soul work, what you feel like you were put here on earth to do.  Nose to the grindstone + keep clearing your past and moving toward your future with hope in your heart.

When Moon enters Sag, lunar (emotional) energies will trine Aries and Leo – creative action will help ease the tension elsewhere !

Penumbral Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4 degrees Sagittarius
here
Full Moon 11:25

Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius is surely a test of faith, expansion in love, money and philosophical communications with a bent toward healing via fellowship. Ego and work will be hardcore shifts on this one – strange alliances will be your emotional redemption.

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

Earth comes between Sun and Moon during a Lunar eclipse, bringing material earth matters between conscious / subconscious principle.

We feel a need to find balance between all 3.

Masculine – Yang outgoing energy, our spirit awake and creative
Earthbound necessities
Feminine – Yin incoming energy, our spirit unconscious and dreaming

Lunar eclipses deal with the (Lunar) feminine principle.

House Sagittarius is bringing the deep emotional component – sensitivities, imagination, habits, security and home into focus.
House Gemini is bringing the solar creative urge and is very strong with benefics in house:  Sun, Venus (conjunct Mercury which rules Gem) Jupiter.

We will experience a shift in balance between houses Gemini and Sagittarius – communications are obviously on deck.

::: Everything Gem calls us to renovate ::: 
how we think about our future
how we communicate with others
apply the same to how you think about yourself

We have Uranus square Pluto to thank for digging up the swamp gunk from the past while we full throttle chuck and pitch like Peter Walsh & the Clean Sweep dream team. What we will be left with is amazingly efficient and sparkly, fresh and new.

This eclipse Sun and Moon are square Neptune bringing hi qi universality and compassion if you use the Jedi vibe well.  Insanely creative artistic spurts and the urge to heal via communication is all over the shop. Please note, divination is a fantastic way to identify self-repeating patterns and break them – take pictures of your readings (if you don’t already) and refer back to them once the eclipse energies have settled.

Your readings will amaze you.

Most of all, keep the faith – in our world, in yourself and those closest to you.
This eclipse is a tough one for many.
Be patient and kind.
Ride it out….

peace

Jupiter is Expansion.
Saturn is Restriction.

Jupiter is faith, trust, enthusiastic exploration into understanding the whole world.
Saturn is discipline, limitation, sharp concentration on success via excellent work.

I have a ton of Sagittarius vibe – packed 9th, Jupiter smacked up with benefics in the house of Sun (Leo).  Yet, Capricorn is my ASC (Saturn rules) making my outlook serious, reserved – I am bound by karma (Saturn is karma).  My actions are, as are all people’s, bound by karma – but somehow it is particularly relevant to me.  (Yes, each natal shows a particular theme of Earth School Study)  The ruler of my ASC, Saturn Rx is in Aries (Mars rules) and it also trines Mars in Sagittarius – Mars quintiles Uranus, the planet that rules astrology. 

Asteroid Karma is 3811 pop it into your natal for insights.

Karma is the law of moral causation. It is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings. We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven. We create our own Hell. We are the architects of our own fate.  More philosophical karma info here.

::::::::::::::::::
My Karma is smack on my 9th house Virgo Uranus.  (Sun/Ura/Plut)
Relevant..?.. yes !  
When I began to grease the wheels of my life with astrological study, my life improved.  I (Sun) was reborn, I regenerated (Pluto).  I not only understood myself better, but I could understand others better as well.  I don’t take arguments as personally because I can read the energy signatures, be more empathetic.  My good karma is writing here at GMA, helping to guide you to the enlightenment you seek to improve your life.

Years ago when I began my strange journey, I was fear (Saturn / restriction, mind 3) based, it was my filter, my lens with which to view my world. 
Where attention goes, energy flows – my outlook and actions (the web I wove) caused far more trouble than I knew how to deal with at that time. Karma kicked my ass to the curb.  I had to pick up my pieces, start over and over and again while in the throes of debilitating illness (which Cap ASC is prone to).

In time (Saturn), I learned (Mercury) to be Jupiter (optimism / fire, heart in Leo 8) based.
I have excavated, picked the bones, made mental lists, compared and contrasted my brains to the moon and back trying to figure out how to change my life for the better.  I noticed everything, sought clues and connections, eventually I learned astrology and the universe began to speak to me.  I began to understand my obstacles, my strengths, and I began to work with the energies, rather than against them.

That is the past, now onto the future…

A few days ago in conversation with my Mother, I casually mentioned I am a Buddhist.
::: She hung up on me :::  
Is normal, her Scorp moon opposes mine – cuss and discuss is quite common.
I identify most strongly with Buddhism, but technically I consider myself a nature-based pagan, wiccan, et al.  I am a rebellious inclusionist (Sun/Ura/Pluto) in the house of Religion – 9, I study everything.
She is Sagittarius ASC – Jupiter in 5 Toro.
Hmph. Go figure.
In this case, my Cap ASC – Saturn Rx in 3 Aries is far less traditional.
:::::::::::::::::::::

The Uranus Pluto square is poking the ribs of traditionalists across the board.

I see it in others, I see it in myself – even my kitties are fussing about accepting a new stray in the yard.  Card reading peeps are hotly arguing about reading styles (traditional vs. freestyle), power tripping astro-fiends are onside – esp. as Uranus rules astrology, my way is better than your way, etc….Changes are upon us and some are stressing about losing ways that used to be.  I got news for you, everything is staying – it is only changing form.  A well-known political astrologer once wrote of her generation, ‘we survived the tumultuous 60’s’, …hmmm…I immediately thought, ‘try being the living, breathing, walking tumultuous 60’s’ – that’s a fun one, I guarantee you.

Where the masses are feeling the square, each according to their chart, those of us born in the late 60’s are getting it on a more personal spiritual (Sun) level. 
I am most certainly feeling it rather close to home.  My natal Moon trines my Virgo Sun/Uranus/Pluto conjunction – men, women; privately (Moon 4), publically (Sun 9); consciously and subconsciously.
All of it ass over teakettle at the mo.  Plus 3 lovely eclipses knocking on some personals to boot – yeeHAW !
:::::::::::::::

May 21 Uranus Pluto Square exact:
Uranus at 11 degrees Aries Pluto Rx at 11 degrees Capricorn

May 25 Penumbral Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4 degrees Sagittarius

Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius is surely a test of faith, expansion in love, money and philosophical communications with a bent toward healing via fellowship. Ego and work will be hardcore shifts on this one – strange alliances will be your emotional redemption.
::::::::::::::
This is ultimately my point –
Saturn Rx in 3, what can I say – sometimes takes me forever to get there, thanks for your patience !

Jupiter is frolicking in Gemini (with Venus) being all wild free agent, touching (yes, literally – Mercury & Venus rules touching) base with everyone.  Did your brain go there ?  Hahaa Go ahead and UNthink it now !   (You can thank me later.)

Sagittarius /Jupiter energy in the sign of thinking and communication is a fantastic remedy for working this square / eclipse shizz out.
Positively
Optimistically
Enthusiastically
Sharing & Learning
Ultimately understanding differing viewpoints, perspectives.

Jupiter unaspected is akin to Biggie Sizing the BIGGIE SIZE of all GOOD Jupiter qualities if we channel the energy correctly.
Tap it ! 
See how it feels, explore it and have fun – let your mind go love tripping with Venus.
Be positive & harm none – Be it light !

Those with a case of natal Jupiter squares (internal lack of hope, trust, abundance or faith) could learn quite a bit under this boho Jupiter…
Go on tour with it – cozy up next to the campfire and let your mind weave stories of how you SEE your shiny new future. 
SEE it, dream it, BE it.

April 25
Partial Full Moon Eclipse at 5 degrees Scorpio
Pluto, Saturn (and North Node)

This eclipse revolves around rooting and digging out your past with a key towards the future.  Profit lives and dies in how you view love, money, creativity and relationships.  Boho knee-jerk reactions mean the heavens need tempering into the material plane.  Off shoot whiz-bang revelations that transform long-standing viewpoints likely.
Work it High Qi – as in be kind, fair, highly creative – yet streamlined.

::::::::::::
May 9
New Moon Annular Solar Eclipse Taurus at 19 degrees
Venus and Mercury (and Mars)
What was ours at last eclipse fluctuates :: desires are now haves :: Halves, perhaps ?  Most probably if executed well…partnerships are REBIRTHING.  Taurean sensibilities are geared towards SHEDDING the PAST.  What is New Moon Eclipse Zen ?
BE HERE NOW.
TRANSFORM NOW.
Latent comms are highlighted, much unsaid – read the senses !
Third eye Eclipse- intuition, go with your Clairs.  Heal your past – quietly, subtly.  Four on the floor slowly metamophs into hit the pavement burning tread as the square heats up and the Sagittarius eclipse energy manifests.

Two card draw for global eclipse energies : Solar / Lunar.
Intent; clarity, most benevolent outcome for all readers.
:::::::::::::::::::
First imagine you are in an ancient stone castle standing before a rough timber door.  You place your hand on it, push it open, hearing the iron hinge squeak.   Inside the candlelit room you find an enormous dining table big enough for 30 laden with delicacies – place setting for ONE.

You walk up to the table and examine the offering, the meal prepared for you.

What do you see ?
Ever thought about it ?

What if I told you that it was laden with primarily leafy green vegetables ?
Maybe it is 3/4 filled with fluffy desserts, or what if the entire spread was porterhouse steak and potatoes….?

Mine is laden with mostly porterhouse steak – thick, chewy, hard to digest – and something had to die for me to get it.  Welcome to the world of Scorpio / Pluto.
Mind you, there are a couple of plates of vegetables, and dark chocolate mousse for dessert, but I am mostly porterhouse steak.  

Think of your natal aspects in this way.  Some have a sextile to Pluto (eh, an opportunity) some have a trine (energy regenerates), some have a square (tremendous inner metamorphosis – you may or may not be aware of)  and some have a conjunction which means everything the neighbor planet does has Pluto right beside it atomic energy AMPING IT UP 24/8.  Sounds intense, yah ?  Well, IT IS.

Everyone is getting a taste of it now with all the Scorp swampy undertow energy murking and lurking around.  Those of us that already have this Scorp energy are even more intense than usual – we have always been catalysts – but now we feel driven to metamorphosis like never before.  We are taking you with us for the ride too – rebirth into a more positive phase is imminent.

Life, death, rebirth.  
It is the way.  
To be born is to die also.

::: Energy is an exchange – if we are in contact in any way – I change and so do you ::::

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
5 Duat : Ammit : Solar eclipse in Scorpio : A trial of integrity.  Great danger.  Courage is needed to overcome.

6 Nef : Family of Wind : Lunar Eclipse Gemini : Danger of misuse of primal power, sexual energies.  Wise use of The Force.  Magical protection or protection of marriage or both.

8 Ahh : Family of moon : Kematef : Spirit card, the Crux of the sitch : Immortality.  Something has served its time, is no longer necessary – or the return of something thought gone.  The endless process of life, death and renewal.  Metamorphosis.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
You are getting this draw is very Pluto in Capricorn in mutual reception with Saturn in Scorpio, yes..?

Restraint – Judicious use of Power.

Full Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Gemini 6′ 40 degrees
Visibility here
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

In a Big ole void Toro moon, I would like to think it will be a port of relaxation, an unplugged zen moon. . .what it actually turns out to be remains to be seen.

HA !  A great deal of it WAS that when I got kicked offline last night.  Hilarious.

Full Moon Eclipse in Gemini lead time is WoW stellar so far.
Did a quickie personal tarot reading: 3 card draw: past, present, future in each present position was a duality.  Moon, 2 Swords, 2 Cups
::::::::::::::::
Mercury is Lord of the Eclipse, communications are on the plate.  How the heck to get visionary ideals to meet the daily grind/ routine. 

Been getting THAT lesson in spades.
Do I argue why I think the tower card equals male erection or do I argue why I disagree with butterflies being cold stunned and jammed into a tiny envelope – ah fuq it – both. Wanna know how I really feel – hang on a sec – sure to be a curve ball incoming soon.
My natal Neptune took the first eclipse hit, now natal Mars.
wheee…pffft. 

Moon conjuncts South Node which signals a release, a sacrifice and like the six of pentacles an exchange – paying it forward.  Jupiter is Rx in Gemini conjunct Moon, lending cosmic charity of some sort on the emotional realm along with this eclipse.  Count the blessings, light the candles rather than curse the darkness.

Lunar eclipses are emotionally charged – this Full Moon Eclipse is that and then some because Gemini Moon is quincunx the past.

oh fuq, THAT again ?
Let us please observe a moment of silence.
Breathe deeply.
Reboot

I think (HA Gem joke) I am going to take my lightsaber bubblewand into the yard and breathe my Scorp crap into the soapy bubble.  Like Magick, Glenda appears, the bubble pops and BS begone.

Next !

What do I mean by the past specifically ?
Realize where your root of thinking grows from: childhood conditioning, what is your daily buzz in the brainpan, think how you can unlearn what you have learned (thank you Yoda).

Personal philosophies as they apply globally are in adaptation, improvisation mode. 

Randomly it occurs to me: Jupiter Rx conjunct Eclipse Gem Moon = gimmie forty acres and I’ll turn this rig around.  I’ll pop it into the comments with Floyd, love that song, first heard it on a turnpike roundabout Nashville….

Gemini Eclipse Moon is quincunx – adaptation, improvisation
Venus / Saturn conjunction in Scorpio
Mars / Pluto conjunction in Capricorn
While Saturn and Pluto are in mutual reception.

Past actions regarding love money creativity are being hammered out and reforged into a new, more inspired, spiritually healthy path via Sun and Moon square Neptune in Pisces.  Lunar eclipses not only go deep into the subconscious to provoke change – they also last longer in the public psyche.

Keep in mind North Node of Destiny is in Scorpio and that equals metamorphosis…
