…the opener…

The Book of Doors Divination Deck

Quick 3 card draw for clarity for all my readers, with the goal being insight to trigger the highest positive good of all. 

Card on the left – Scorpio Full Moon
Card on the right – Taurus Sun
Card below – the union of opposites between the two.  The Compromise.

Moon and Sun are in the Family of Duat
What is below is as that which is above.
“What is below” is the Duat, the darkest reflection of heaven and the site of death and dissolution.
::: It corresponds to the embalming process which is an alchemical ‘fixing’, (Scorpio and Taurus are fixed signs) and also the stomach (Moon rules) through fermentation and the digestive process.  The transformation of matter through decay. :::
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scorpio Full Moon: 6 Amenta
Adventure into the unknown, the darkest part of the self.   Initiative, independence and self-reliance.  It is the sunset souls must pass through to reach the coming dawn at sunrise.  “The Hidden Place”, becoming familiar with the realm of the dead while still living, knowledge of the mysteries, vision quest.

Taurus Sun: 1 Sokar
The darkest part of the Duat, a time of testing, inertia and darkness.  The seed of a new life has been planted.  This dark night of the soul serves to bring orientation.  It is the omphalos, or navel (Venus rules) – akin to the Northern celestial hemisphere (the Nadir, or midnight in the natal- Moon rules).  It is a point symbolizing meridians and parallels, a point of nourishment between consecutive phases and different states of being.

The Union of Opposites
The Family of Fire
Aakhut: 1 Ptah
The act of creation !   The “Father / Mother of beginnings, the creator of the eggs of the Sun and the Moon”, the sculptor, the opener of doors.  Craftspeople, builders using the primordial sacred fire of living energy.  Materializing metaphysical principles with every sound and heartbeat. Celestial and terrestrial creation in accordance with the cosmic law. (Maat)


Last Card, bottom of the deck
Message from Spirit Realm (+bonus fortune !)
Rutilated Quartz is energetic, protective, weaves worlds together

The Eight Primordials
Tepi – Aui – Un 2: Nut (Night)
Powerful protection on the path to transcending previous limitations.  Being aware of our place of being in the vast cosmic seas.   I exist, I am vital.
Unity and the multiplication of form through dynamic energy, originally manifested as the Milky Way. ( Moon Moon and More Moon: Milky way, or via lactea means Milky Circle) The Mother Goddess, the beginning and the end – creation –  the resolution of all duality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SoOo the wrap-up:
Full Moon brings the ‘alchemical fixing’ of Scorpio and Taurus energies…
Stable, reliable Fixed signs build, finish and create.
They are the link between the gung-ho Cardinals and the fluctuating Mutables.

We are protected, nourished in our vision quest (Venus trine Saturn Rx in Libra) to find balance spiritually (Neptune trine Saturn Rx), and intellectually (Venus in Gemini trine Saturn Rx in Libra – both Air, or intellect) while we brainstorm our past and future actions on earth with others. (Mercury in Aries opposite Saturn Rx in Libra; Mars in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces.)

moon meditation

Posted on by

While mowing and meditating I was mulling over moons… and Carly Simon.

She has long spoken of being uncomfortable in the spotlight. (click)  Moon rules the public, so I looked up her chart…basically, she has a T-square of shyness that includes moon.

Carly is a Cancer Sun stellium, Mercury, Saturn, North Node of Destiny – opposite  Moon in Capricorn.  Cancer rules the Moon, home, the comfort zone (the 4th house well of psyche), Capricorn rules the career in front of everyone (10th house high noon – the spotlight).  Oppositions signal the juggling of energies that are not alike.

The focal point of her T-square is Libra Neptune.  Libra also rules dealings with others, and Neptune hides.

She really has to work up the guts (Moon rules the stomach) to step out of her Cancer shell, and with Pluto the transformer in Leo, the sign of the stage ~ she generates the inner energy to do it…but like all things Pluto it is not easy.

so on to void moons…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A void moon is traditionally a time for meditation and quiet, I treat it like a dark moon – a time to retreat and regroup in the comfort zone.

Void moons occur when the moon isn’t making aspects to any other planets before leaving the sign it’s in.

It is adrift at sea, so to speak – no anchor with other energies. Moon fluctuates anyway, in a void phase we go  f a r   o u t . . .
Subconscious drives kick in ~ the public is adrift as well.

You read earlier that Libra also rules dealings with others, the public strangers (not weird Uranus strangers, just people you don’t know).  Libra is Venus ruled.

Venus rules $$$, love and social stuff….so void moons are times of pondering these things with the self more so than taking action with the other.
First house Mars / Aries the outward bound self – juggles with – the more retiring, attracting 7th house other Venus / Libra.
Void moons are times of contemplation and hoarding (Taurus) the emotions… shhhh… keep it close to the vest sort of thing.

That is why it is not a good idea to initiate actions publicly under a void moon ~ social stuff is adrift. If you are working on something you have already started, hunkering down and finishing quietly, I don’t see a problem – otherwise, it is best to wait.

Meditate, go inside, pull cards and do divination for yourself, seek internal guidance and give your subconscious instincts the reins.

Good time for girl power and clannish gatherings with people you know..?  The answer is yes for me…for you…?…  I leave that to you.  A couple of close galpals in the den sounds great, a dinner party becomes a group and is less so.  Think tribal moontime girl stuff…go to the cave and cook with fire.

Creativity is deep and from the well – take the darkest moon and go deeper and darker into the void.

Publicly…no one is listening ~ no one hears you from inside the well, ya know….?

Everyone is in their OWN WELL and gazing into their OWN NAVEL.

Moon is Mother, water, wells and amniotic fluid.
Venus rules Navels.

Can you feel this void moon..?…it is pregnant with possibilities…
cool, yeah..?

cosmic omphalomancy

Posted on by

The spider web relates to the creation of the web of life; the interconnectedness and inter-dependence of all things.

Plato had a dream of great goddess Ananke, “Necessity,” spinning the universe; the sun, moon, and planets were her spindle’s whorls; sirens sang through the webs of time and fate that she wove, and souls endlessly moved through the strands on their way to and from death and rebirth.

The Axis Mundi, or The Lesser Heavenly Cycle, and Axis Coeli, or The Microcosmic Orbit, are ubiquitous symbols that represent cycles of energy of rebirth and restoration and that cross diverse human cultures.  They have also been referred to as the cosmic axis, world axis, world pillar, columna cerului, and center of the world.

I made a joke about my navel being my 4th eye once, then I read this today…

Communication from lower realms may ascend to higher ones and blessings from higher realms may descend to lower ones and be disseminated to all. The spot functions as the omphalos, or navel: the world’s point of beginning. This is the point where we find our anchor point in this incarnation, our cord that attaches us with all manifestations of life. *

The navel of the universe being the macro and the personal navel being the micro.
The navel is the lotus of the body.
The navel is ruled by Venus.
Venus rules Love.

If you think it’s getting too serious in here, try some of this on for size.  hee
Omphalomancy is the art of fortune telling by navel gazing~>

1) The Horizontal Navel. This belly button is oblong in shape and spreads
sideways across the tummy. People with horizontal navels are complex and highly
emotional. This can take a toll on their health.

2) The Vertical Navel. Also oblong, this belly button stands on end, running
up and down along the tummy. It indicates a person who is self-confident,
generous, and emotionally stable.

3) The Outty. A belly button that protrudes outward indicates an optimistic
person who approaches life with enthusiasm.

Dreaming of your own belly button is traditionally associated with starting
up a new venture with possible long-term benefits, and dreaming of someone else’s navel denotes a new love affair.

The second form of omphalomancy is based on the umbilical cord. A Jamaican
old wife’s tale holds that the number of knots in the umbilical cord of a
newborn baby shows how many more brothers or sisters are yet to come. It is
 interesting that this one has been verified and it seems to be accurate.  **
