want one
and a hang too.
xo hee
Check out more songs on their webpage: Hang Playing Hedge Monkeys
A Hang or in Bernese language hand is played with the hands.
Hands are ruled by Mercury and Gemini – Mercury is conjunct Sun in Aquarius. Aquarius rules cutie pie dreadlock hippie boys ..!
Only a few hundred hangs are made each year by one couple in Switzerland.
They are hemispheres (Uranus rules halves) of hammered steel (Mars rules steel).
Drums are Mars ruled, music is Venus and Neptune (both in Pisces now).
Venus is exalted in Pisces, and Neptune rules Pisces, so art music, films and anything mystical are fantastic seas for feel good vibes now, even more so than usual ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Venus and Uranus opposite Mars Rx / Moon opposite Pluto on the wheel of life.
Flaming arrows zip ! zip ! the missives are hard to miss, yeah ?!
Are people getting in your face ?
It will pass.
For the life of me I don’t know why people are always comparing apples and oranges. My way is the only way etc… My lead singer is better than your lead singer… (Although, I must confess, I do love it when Rick Nielsen says that ! )
Why do people say things like “How will Julian ever live up to Cynthia ?”.
Well they don’t, but you get my point, right ?
See how strange it sounds ?!
Julian doesn’t have to live up to anyone but Julian Lennon.
~~~~~~~~~~~
We are all here to learn and grow and become a better version of ourselves ~
Live and let live.
We each walk our own path, ya dig ?
May the road rise up to meet you and the wind always be at your back…
Peace out ~

eat trash
Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper. – Francis Bacon
Sun and Mercury conjunct (power operating) communicating humanitarian concerns in rebel Aquarius. They are forming the focal point in a T-Square between Saturn (responsibilities, the Earth) on 29 degrees (culmination degree) of Libra (balance, fairness), which is opposite (compromise) Moon (public, feelings) coming to conjunct Jupiter (excess) in Taurus (attitudes about luxury), which in turn, square (inner tension) Sun and Mercury.
Mars Rx in Virgo (re-evaluate civil actions and service) opposite (compromise) Venus (luxury) in Pisces (universality) and Uranus in Aries (full throttle change).
Saturn trine Neptune (build the dream) on 29 degrees of innovative Aquarius. Pluto (refuse, trash, transmutation) trine excessive Jupiter in the earth sign of Taurus.
You may apply the above to your life (micro) and globally (macro) – – it is the sky above us all.

I just watched a great documentary Dive ! which has won 21 film festival awards worldwide. The film is part of a growing movement that re-examines the role of food in a society that wastes 1/2 of all that it produces.
Every year in America we throw away 96 billion pounds of food. One half of all food prepared in the US and Europe never gets eaten. The Department of Agriculture estimated in 1996 that recovering just 5 percent of the food that is wasted could feed four million people a day; recovering 25 percent would feed 20 million people. Today we recover less than 2.5 percent. (facts from: Dive !)
North Node of Destiny is in visionary Sagittarius. “Be the change you want to see in the world.” – Gandhi – – Well done, filmmaker Jeremy Seifert, well done !
Please take 6 minutes to watch this small clip about food waste, and how to help empower change on our Earth.

different dimensions
I am off for a few, cleaning and clearing the energy in my home.
Then I will return to organizing this site. Thank you for your patience.
Neptune is flowing, soon to return home to Pisces on February 3, 2012.
She will relax in home waters for 14 years until 2024/5.
Neptune is my most highly aspected planet, and I feel the need to move and grow myself. My Mars is in Sagittarius (my 12th house sign- Pisces natural home) conjunct Vesta (hearth and home, sacred fire) I follow my intuition, it is time.
Vesta is conjunct Venus in the sky now in the sign of Pisces. She is activating my 2nd and 8th houses. (What is mine and what belongs to others.) Mars is Rx in Virgo, the need to sort and purge (Mars is applying to natal Pluto ! ) financial documents (Venus rules money) and a fire (Mars) will be lit tomorrow eve ! I will return soon after the weekend (USA) refreshed, invigorated, with energy flowing. WoOo HoOo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Find Vesta in your chart to find the home of the sacred fire in your belly. Find your house of Pisces to locate where she is lighting the beacon for you now by transit.
Locate Mars Rx in Virgo, and any planets in Gemini or Sagittarius (squares- internal) or Pisces (opposite- others and compromise) for how Mars Rx is activating your chart.
Monday the 23 Mars Rx at 23 degrees Virgo, Mars direct at 3 degrees of Virgo on April 13, 2012. Any planets between these degrees will be getting the spit & polish so to speak. Mars is the blade, prune well to grow tall and lush ~
I thought I would try some Osho divination: The Book of Secrets.
One thousand and thirty-nine pages, and I got this …
This is soOo Mars Rx !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why ? Why is fight so associated with love ?
It is associated because the same energy can move in different dimensions. You may call it love or hate. They look opposite, but they are not so opposite, because the same energy is moving.
Energy can move, can change directions. It can become hate, it can become love — the same energy. And the same energy can move inward also, so whenever you have the impulse to do something (fight / anger energy), stop !
This is not suppression. You are not suppressing anything, you are just playing with energy–just playing with energy and knowing the workings of it, how it works inwardly.
Osho

Well no wonder my brain is going there…..
Moon is coming up to conjunct Neptune kicking around on the 29th degree of Aquarius ~ energies there are shifting thank goddess !

SoOoo….

Serenity NOW
How’s Mars treating ya ?
We’re all pissy around here. Cat is sick, hating the evol bile medicine I have to force down his throat. Poor thing wretches and foams at the mouth while I am poked every which way. The other cat wisely hides. lol
Oh and transiting Pluto creeps up on my Saturn ruler and turns the square screws another notch or two. lovely.
Energies are most definitely in flux. Mars IS energy in the natal and it is soon to travel via retrograde back over the nit-picky bits in Virgo – oh who am I kidding ?!
They are ALL nit-picky bits in Virgo, obviously.
Sun (spirit) and Saturn (work & restriction) are under some nasty squares and how !
I am buried in work until…I do not care to count the days and weeks and months.
Sun is square happy-go-lucky Jupiter too – squeezing any optimistic juice out a dried up old day…and I am here writing about it – how about a round of applause for Mercury square Saturn. *crickets* (sips blackberry smoothie)
Things on this page will be a work in progress towards more streamlined efficiency while Mars is Rx…posts may ease up a bit while I work behind the curtain.
Thanks for your infinite patience while Gneiss regenerates and metamorphs…
Moon (emotion) is frozen solid – cloaked in a suit of chain mail and crawling on all fours out of Capricorn on this dark moon. Sun squares aren’t helping the sitch.
I saved the best for last though !
Luna is coming to conjunct Mercury and thankfully Mercury is quintile (talent) Uranus. Heightened intuition and the Cosmic Headspace Bliss -out ! wheeee !
Soon New Moon Monday in the early morning (CST,USA) and some fizzy Aquarian dark moon vibes, bring it !
Ohmmmmmmm…Gneiss Mars…yeees…that’s right…ohmmm…
peace out lovelies~

Fair Warning – no trespass against any and all Virgos !
Virgos are born to solve, perfect, and protect.
When a festering boil erupts, it will be rooted.
Resistance is futile.
Mars direct Friday April 13, 2012 at 3 degrees Virgo: 10:53pm, CST, USA
Read: Mars has been jammed up our nostrils since entering the sign of Virgo on November 10th aggravating, initiating & rousing any and all micro – minutiae analyzation in full throttle force.
Mars has been mainlining energy into all Virgo planets via direct motion since November 10th.
Now – planets situated between 23 and 3 degrees of Virgo will be taking a retrograde hit, followed by another direct hit.
Read: Direct and perfect, retrograde and turn the blade.
Mars is the blade, the power, the energy outgoing while direct.
Virgos prune. Virgos heal. They are duty – bound to serve others.
Virgos perfect by nature.
Mars while retrograde, is the blade, the power, turned inward to re-assess the re-visions already made by the firm and steadfast Virgo intellect. During Mars retrograde, Virgos will heal themselves.
Any and all work not deemed perfect by the perfectionist within will be revived, re-invigorated and resolved.
Natal planets between 23 and 3 degrees of Virgo will feel this Mars Rx strongly by conjunction. Pisces planets by opposition, and Gemini and Sagittarius will feel Mars Rx by square.

Monday Jan 23rd : New Moon in Aquarius will bring communication undercurrents, intuitive, zaps and transformative vibes with Mars, Pluto and Sun/Moon/ Mercury activating Uranus – sharp intuitive powers !
Creative solutions will present themselves – be aware the Goddess vibe is strong with Lilith opposite Saturn at the culmination degree of 29 Libra.
Energies will be shifting, do not pick battles with authority – Lillith is square New Moon/Sun and opposite Saturn, and Mars is shifting to Retrograde.
Do not pick fights during Mars retrograde – plot and plan, yes – confront, no.
By evening, Moon passes the tense emotional squares, the atmosphere eases as Mars stations Rx, freeing us to enjoy the fizzy Aquarian Moon.
She who would slay dragons must first learn their habits.

Retrogasminutiae
Glassy (detail) by American Artist, Fred Tomaselli.
Click on Fred above, watch the video and tell me he’s not a Virgo !
(educated guess – no info)
Whoa – the sorting – it boggles !
He laminates !
I get that !
I laminate !
I am a Virgo Sun/Uranus /Pluto in 9th and I laminate all my hand drawn study guides. hilarious. (You don’t have to tell me, I already know. haha)
~~~~~~~~~~~
What brings me to this post is New Years Eve. (USA)
Are we supposed to review?
I am Virgo. I LIVE to review.
Also, I just completed a reading for a client who has 6 planets Rx (retrograde).
Retrograde = revision.
Currently all planets are direct ~> do you feel the forward motion ?
The next planet to go retrograde is Mars.
Mars is our drive, so during Mars Rx we will be nit-picking our brains, going inside our little Virgo headspace to analyze our actions while Mars was direct. Mars retrograde in Virgo or Earth will bring big time Virgo analysis of material earth matters.
Have we been sorting ? labelling ? list-making ? organizing ?
Well, I have.
I have been super-powered Virgo the last few weeks and during Mars retrograde we all get to re-vise our re-visions !
YaY !
Perfection awaits. heh heh. SoOo Virgo.
Mars Rx (retrograde) January 23, 2012 at 6:54 pm CST, USA at 23 Virgo

Click here for Mars Rx in Virgo house by house info (bottom).
I have one retrograde planet, my chart ruler Saturn, which is already in its fall (uncomfortable) in Aries.
Saturn Rx is in my 3rd house of writing, and here I am – where I wouldn’t have guessed I would be a year ago – writing this blog. (Yes, I have written before, but it was only viewed by friends, not publicly, that was a big step for Neptune girl.)
So please don’t let retrogrades throw you off your goal, even if you have 6 of them.
Planets obviously don’t turn in their orbits and go backwards, it only appears so from the vantage point of the Earth. Earth moves between the planet and the sun, passes the planet, and from a geocentric (Earth centered) viewpoint, the planet appears to slow, stop, and reverse it’s motion in the zodiac.
Click here for a visual of retrograde motion.
View retrogrades as a challenge to transform, transmute and transcend.
Retrograde planets cause frustration in expressing energy.
It requires constant vigilance – exercising the planetary energy over time brings strength.
It will take work, patience and practice to own the energy.
Lasso and herd the energy, before you can ride and steer the energy.
Those with a natal chart free of retrogrades often find a life circumstance pushes them to become introspective.
Those born with many retrograde planets, often find the opposite is true.
Retrogrades are flavored by the Sun – how we express the retrograde planet via the ego (Sun) is reigned in, subjective, an internal struggle.
The energy of the planet feels overshadowed, needs patience and cultivation.
It is a natal point where we drive the same roads over and over until we feel confident enough to express the energy outwardly.
What element holds your retrograde ?
This is where you will focus !
Fire = ego, creativity, self-expression
Earth = material plane, work, recognition of labor and achievements
Air = communication, thinking, social skills
Water = emotions, intuition, psyche
~~~~~~~~~~

0 Rx planets = perseverance, determination to reach goals, needs company to be happy (Common in US Presidents, successful athletes and dancers.)
1 Rx planet = independent, a loner that can work, achieve alone.
2 Rx planets = people are drawn to you, they feel comfortable around you
3 Rx planets = operate more behind the scenes, need to excel
4 Rx planets = writers, solitary expressions, and professions
5 Rx planets = solitary occupations, avoids people pleasing professions, less likely people feel comfortable around you
6 Rx planets = so rare (only 51 days out of the whole 100 years), no conclusions. (Angela Davis, Muhammad Ali are the only famous examples he found)
7 Rx planets = even smaller, no conclusions

Enough revision !!
Enough minutiae !!
