South Node activate !

Who else is processing like mad ?

This Gemini Eclipse falls in my 6th, so I finally took some time for Virgo self-care, ditched work for one dark moon night on the swank Toro couch with seasons 6 & 7 of Star Trek Voyager.
I quit thinking  for a bit and watched pictures. I needed it, ‘cause I am back at it Virgo processing, Mercury at it full steam again today.

Things in my life have been rapid fire change-ups lately, just this morning I changed my mind about something I had been fairly sure of for the last few weeks.  Multi-tasking out the yin yang, and juggling day job, night job – I am also the handy ma’am, the cook, the gardener and the cleaning lady.  I write this post, trim my 7ft hedge, turn my garden, then write some more.  Head and Hands full of Gemini and then some.  You ?

Friends of mine I care very much for are waiting (you know who you are) please know I am very aware you are waiting and am doing my best, okay ? xo  You are very much on my mind, and in my heart, as always.
Soon…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which brings me to South Node.
Are you all wrapping up something from the past, or thinking about it ?   Changing your mind about where you envision yourself in your future ?  Are you seeing both sides, getting great ideas..? 

This eclipse is like figuring out what to pack for your journey to the next Sagittarius eclipse in early June. The North Node of Destiny awaits us ~>
Keep the South Node lessons and enter Sag with a broader vision, a more positive outlook, enthusiastic vigor for exploration of infinite possibilities and adventure !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where is your North Node, and what rules that house ? 
Find that planet and work that energy and its contacts for success !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My North Node ruler is Mars. I have Saturn the restrictor retrograde (it is slower than slow, trust me.) in the house of what and who I AM.  (ego squashing) Saturn is my chart ruler in the house where it falls, or operates poorly (opposite house of exaltation).  The energies are not matched at. all.  Saturn wants to brake and Mars – ruled Aries wants to get the freakin’ lead out already and get moOoving !

My retrograde Saturn trines Mars;  which turn quintiles Uranus.  This means it may take me forever, but once I am on it – it gets done – I will tackle it entirely with unmatched focus and determination.  I will not give up.  Ever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where is your South Node, and what planet rules that house ?
Pack up the lessons of that house and carry it into the new moon eclipse !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This lifetime for me is about squashing the ego of the past.
Blazing my trail, my way, the independent spirit set free.
More Marsy action & go get it – less Venus attraction and wait for it to come.

My South Node is in Libra 10th, so last life I had the recognition, the accolades.  This life I have to get over the fact that those I crave approval from the most often deny it.
  I have to drop all thought of chasing the shiny object, for if I seek it, I suffer.  (Sun opp Chiron)  My Sun is also Void of course at 29 degrees Virgo: semi-square Moon, square ASC, opposite chiron.  It is my final dispositor, and conjunct knock down game-changers Uranus and Pluto.  I get waylaid a LOT, but have to keep going, have faith in myself. (Sun in 9, Aries North Node)

What will you pack up to carry into your North Node future…?
What do you think is your destiny ?

I’ll be keeping the love & balance, please and thank you, and I’ll be ditching the rest !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the Gemini 0 degree eclipse, I would like to thank those who have given me a hand up when I needed it.  (Gemini rules hands)

:::Those waiting, (you know who you are) bonds with you time only strengthens.
I remain humbly grateful for the generosity of your gift.  Thank you.
:::My friend, Sagittarian Moon, who comments here regularly – you are the best ! xo
:::Juile Hansen, a remarkable intuitive who consistently says *just the right thing* to
nudge me in the right direction, thank you !
:::My fellow Toro Moon gal pal astrologer, Perianne – check out her astro blog !
:::Astrologer, intuitive, and Human Design consultant, Hal Bahr, whose kindness introduced me to many new readers, Thank you !
:::My new friend Mary Pat who has welcomed me so warmly, thank you !

Happy eclipse, everyone ~
…now I trim hedge !

Luna and Venus, 2008 December
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luna and Venus late last night, 2012 April

Moon is magnetic; the Sun electric.

New Moon is hot and moist in influence.
Full Moon is dry and cold.
Moon rules the tidal air in the lungs – lungs are Gemini ruled.
Moon rules those who work with liquids and growth; gardeners, bartenders.
Moon rules changes.

Venus is the ‘lesser fortune’ a benefic.
She bestows good influence over other planetary energies by conjunction or trine.
She is warm and moist.
Venus attracts; is rotational or of vortex motion.
She is feminine, fruitful and friendly.
She brings harmony, rhythm, and love to her house in your natal.

Jeff Bridges

May I introduce Sagittarian actor, musician, vintner and artist Jeff Bridges.  Jeff was born into a family of actors, his Mom, Dad and his older brother, Beau.  Jeff made his first onscreen appearance at the tender age of four months.

His first big break was in The Last Picture Show, when he became one of the youngest actors ever to be nominated for an Academy Award at age 22 (1971, Best Supporting Actor, The Last Picture Show), and at age 60, Jeff became one of the oldest ever to win (2010, Best Actor, Crazy Heart).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just watched True Grit and of course, loved it.  I loved Starman and have been to Barringer crater, which is featured in the movie, and it’s fabulous !
Starmans expression when he tried Dutch Apple Pie..?  Priceless.

I loved The Last Picture Show, Fearless, The Big Lebowski, (obviously a classic), The Fisher King, Men Who Stare at Goats, Tron, the list goes on and on…
I have spent my life watching Jeff light up the screen, so I wasn’t too surprised to find out he’s a Sagittarius.
(I am a Sagittarius magnet, it seems, I am naturally prone to fancy them, since I have lots of Sag energy myself.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeff is a life path 3 (the zero adds power) which is a path of growth, flowering, and new directions unfolding out of the balance of 2.

He is a Virgo rising, with chart ruler Mercury in the 4th trine Pluto in creative Leo, on the 11th (natural house of Aquarius) a visionary placement for an artist.  Sun (exact conjunct Chiron) trine Pluto from the nadir (conjunction straddles the 3/4th) and Jeff is a natural gypsy story-teller (4th is the house of Cancer, they can spin a yarn like no other) with an optimistic heart.  Through his craft, he shows others how to heal themselves through communicating the need for loving acceptance of the natural human beauty found within us all.  (The nadir is the deep well of self, where and how we restore balance, trine Pluto in 11th.)

He shines a light on human relationships through his exquisite ability to morph and change in the public eye.  Gemini at mid-heaven and Jeff can fully embody chameleon-like qualities for his career – this is particularly evident with Uranus (polarities and change) elevated as well as Moon (fluctuation, imagination).

Uranus in the 10th has no major aspects – making Jeff a mavericks maverick !  Uranus is rebellious and innovative and without major aspects reigning it in, it is truly wild and free !  Having Uranus quintile the Ascendant gives him the ability to be unpredictable in the eyes of others via work and career.  This quality is further shown by his predominately mutable chart. The quincunx to the artistic Venus (art in the 29th or culmination degree) Jupiter conjunction in the creative 5th house (Sun – creativity – naturally rules) gives Jeff a super – charged ability to build a life – long eclectic career in the arts.
I am tickled Jeff has Venus conjunct Jupiter, because I do as well, but in Leo !  He is very well liked by his co-stars (Venus is kind /Jupiter expands), and is described as exceptionally easygoing (Sagittarius).

His craft is deep and thoughtful (Pluto ruling 3rd) and he derives a tremendous strength from family (strong Nadir placements, Moon trine Venus and Jupiter).  He has been especially influenced by males (Sun trine Pluto) and had worked very close with both his father and brother throughout his life (Mars conjunct Saturn).

He is known for working hard, and when young appeared on his fathers television show, Sea Hunt  with his brother on several occasions (Mars conjunct Saturn conjunct Ascendant). Squares from the Mars Saturn conjunction to Moon at the mid-heaven represents the Sagittarius need to explore his own path, make his own mark with the public (Moon).  Neptune in Venus-ruled Libra trine Moon in 9th and Jeff documents his films and travels on film, he is an avid photographer.

Sun at the nadir opposite Moon at mid-heaven shows that he loves his home life a great deal, but his restless nature calls him out to learn and communicate his feelings through his work.  North Node of Destiny in Aries (Mars rules) and Jeff has a path before him of blazing new trails in showing the depth of human nature (8th) through his work (Mars conjunct Saturn).

I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Starman:
You are a strange species. Not like any other. And you’d be surprised how many there are. Intelligent but savage. Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you?
[Shermin nods]
Starman: You are at your very best when things are worst.
