hooks up like tesseract

Mercury loves Aquarius, is exalted here in the sign of electricity and shifts of perception.
Mind matters are lean, keen – deftly mainlining intel from the grid of consciousness linking all life worldwide. 

The trickster planet is warp speed x gigawatt while travelling this house, savvy and streamlined, ferreting out like minds and kindred spirits – snap !  Connections are precise, on point = knowing, instantly.

Linking like ideas, humans and projects fire up like sparks of brain synaptics – this Mercury hooks up like tesseract.  Wit and wisdom of Mercury comes alive in Aquarius, cogitations are eccentric, progressive – wordsmiths proliferate in this placement.

Brain games appeal a la innovation of mind. Mercury hears its own heartbeat (drum) very loudly in Aquarius, responds to it alone, breaking from the herd.  Aquarius Mercury flies the torch of change into the future – KNOW it then grow it. 
Lightning strikes – perceptions shift, earthkind evolves.

Lofty metamorphics

I’ve been doing lots of brainstorming about the environment.
I have changed my personal habits to become more ecologically sound.
I buy local and organic, eat clean (no boxes), am boycotting palm oil, the list goes on.

The world economic infrastructure cannot sustain itself and life on this planet.

The Uranus Pluto square, is forcing the issue – the ideals born during the late 1960’s  Uranus Pluto conjunction are no longer workable on the material plane  – the global economic system is broken – it needs to be stripped down, overhauled with a keen eye toward balancing both ECONOMY and ECOLOGY. 

We are fighting nuclear leaks and waste in the water, poisons leaching into the soil, trash washing up on our shores, toxic oil spills, Indonesian rainforests are being leveled for cardboard take out boxes – making tigers nearly extinct in the process.  Our food is laden with chemicals and entire families of elephants are slaughtered for ivory trinkets.

Earthkind is dying, we are killing our planet, life on it, and animals are choking on our convenient trash.  I can’t sleep nights thinking about the state of our home.

Surfrider here (clean H20, trash surfboards)

The wheel of life is turning like the gears of a cosmic clock – ever-changing, always pushing us to evolve into a higher state of vibration.  Humans need a keen eye and quick mind to find long-term solutions for our Mother, Earth.  Gaia.

Leo Moon (Mother, Home) opposes Sun, Mercury, Mars all in Aquarian Air.

Science and progress (Aqua Sun and Mercury) move forward with an eye towards the past (they square Saturn in Scorpio) blazing trails of optimism, re-thinking the future (they trine Jupiter Rx in Gemini – also Air) how to heal our seas, ourselves and our planet as a whole (Jup Rx square to Neptune and Chiron in Pisces).

Jupiter direct
6 degrees Gemini

Jupiter goes direct in square to Neptune and Chiron in Pisces.
The energies of healers, philosophers and teachers – will shift into forward gear.

Square is an obstacle, we must work to change it – internal change.
I change, you change, we all have to change.
 Our ‘throw away’ culture is based on a corporate lie – there is no AWAY.

Mitakuye Oyasin (Lakota)  We are all related.

Jupiter can lead us into the future with HOPE, we can stop this.  NOW.

I was inspired to write this windy SCIENCE / AIR post because of this:

Japan’s Agency for Natural Resources and Energy has announced plans to build the  world’s largest offshore wind farm near Fukushima as part of plans to reconstruct the area stricken by nuclear disaster in 2011.

Parrot astrology

Parrot astrology & fortunes.

I found this the other day when I posted about parrot totems.
Found in Tamil Nadu, India and Singapore.
Bird is actually most often a parakeet.

The bird draws from 27 cards, with images of a Hindu deity,
Buddha or Virgin Mary with Infant Jesus.

Not fond of caged birds myself, but in the interest of awareness, I post.
Uranus is the weird bird astrology planet, after all.

My mind is my own church.  – Thomas Paine

Sun, Mercury, Jupiter in Aquarius
Saturn, Neptune in Gemini
Venus exalted in Pisces
 Grand trine: Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto

Thomas Paine was an 18th century activist, a British expat who was called the “Father of the American Revolution” because of his anonymously published, pro-independence pamphlet Common Sense.  He was suppressed by the British, sought asylum in France, and was later released from a French prison (with the help of President Monroe) and moved to the U.S.

Paine became notorious because of his progressive, free-thinking writings.  In his book, The Age of Reason, he argues against institutionalized religion.  He later introduced the concept of minimum wage in Agrarian Justice, as well as old age pension (social security).  Paine was strongly influenced by his time spent with the Iroquois, who lived in harmony with nature and each other by tribal (democratic) law.
:::::::::
Though there is no evidence he was himself a Freemason, Paine also wrote “An Essay on the Origin of Free-Masonry” (1803–1805), about the Bible being allegorical myth describing astrology:

The Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the sun, in which they put a man called Christ in the place of the sun, and pay him the adoration originally payed to the sun.
:::::::::
Liberals, libertarians, feminists, democratic socialists, social democrats, anarchists, freethinkers, and progressives often claim him as an intellectual ancestor.  (wiki)
:::::::
Now I do as well ~ very Aquarian !
 Shocking writings for his time, fascinating free-thinker, yes ?

Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper. – Francis Bacon

art objects Kevin Van Aelst

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.

a light in dark places

May I introduce a very talented young gentleman who has been playing mandolin since the tender young age of 5.

Pisces Chris Thile formed the band Nickle Creek with members of his family when he was 8.  Winning the national mandolin championship at the age of 12, Chris was well on his way to fame and fortune in music well before he was old enough to drive a car. Pictured below is his solar chart, which remember, means there is no specific time of birth, so pay attention to the planets in signs, not the houses.
Chris is a life path number 5, he is here to face the challenge of many changes throughout his life.  His will be a life of freedom and adventure and finding personal balance.

One of the first things that jumps out at me is the Saturn (discipline, older people) tightly conjunct Jupiter (teachers) which rules Sagittarius where Neptune (string instruments) is placed.  This speaks to me of being under the tutelage of all the great musicians Chris has had the privilege of jamming with at festivals across the country since he was very young.  (Saturn and Jupiter in Libra, ruled by Venus which rules art)  Pluto is working overtime transforming Mercury Rx (communication, rules Gemini, which rules the hands, dexterity, and young people) and Venus (his art) and his Sun (ambition) in Neptune -ruled Pisces.  Chris also has Sun in the first decan of Pisces which is Neptune-flavored.  Mercury Rx conjunct Venus shows me that he will only continue to improve with age as his Mercury retrograde fully blooms.
Mars, the planet of action conjunct Sun in Pisces is an aspect par excellence for musicians.
Check the solo below, it’s smokin’ hot !

Moon in perfection-driven Virgo squaring (internal conflict) Neptune gives him the passionate drive to learn (Sagittarius of higher learning) his craft (Neptune) until he is the very best he can be.  Creativity and self-expression is his life path with North Node in creative, flamboyant Leo.  If you have heard him play, you know he is frisky and playful, a bit quirky and he loves to have fun ! (Individualistic Uranus square Sun, Mercury Rx, and Venus from Sagittarius)
I give the love of Star Wars and Tolkien to Mercury conjunct Venus in the sign of science, Aquarius (love of reading, science) sextile Neptune (film, fiction) in Sagittarius of philosophy.  Chris is not only very driven (Mars/action conjunct Sun), but he also loves baseball (Mars ruled) and is the great-great grandson of Baseball Hall of Famer, Sam Thompson (Sun along with Saturn can indicate males in the natal chart-and Sun rules Fame).  Also of note is Sun (creativity, spirit) quintile (spiritual gifts) Venus ruled Chiron (wounded healer, herbalist and philosopher) which indicates generosity of heart and a willingness to help and inspire others via the arts. 
Thank you, Chris for your beautiful song in Elks Park.
