The Doctor.

I loOove the Doctor.  
A quirky humanitarian (Aquarius) time traveler, saving life forms, indeed – entire worlds across time and space. (Sun rules not only heroes, but also the heart – and the Doc has two; Sagittarius rules long distance travel)

He is a brilliant combo of clever geek and cheeky party crasher – game for fun, yet deadly serious when any life form is threatened.  The Doctor is packing a wealth of experience and knowledge garnered across time and space over many lifetimes, many  regenerations.

His wits are his weapon.  He refuses all firearms – only using his sonic screwdriver, ‘which does not kill, wound or maim’, and the help of loyal friends travelling with him.

Interesting bit written into the plotlines over and over again – he sometimes goes a bit Gung Ho, suffers from a God Complex and needs a stiff shot of Saturn reality check from his mates to set him straight.  The brilliant, clever Doctor also needs the help of friends.

Good friends are ruled by Venus and Aquarius.
 Moon is in eccentric Aquarius, and soon, Venus will enter Sagittarius where she will meet up with Mercury, trine Uranus in Aries while she also squares Neptune and Chiron In Pisces.  So heads UP, I’m gonna talk about LoOove baby !

Venus needs friends.
The Doctor needs his mates to pull him back from over zealous, self-righteous anger and the edge of wrath.  He needs his friends to help him SEE, to help him widen his circle of perspective.

Yesterday in comments I mentioned the planetary heart grid.  I actually think there are multiples of grids connecting us through ALL our energetic points, ie: Vishudda (throat) chakras via speech/ mass comms, the Muladhara (root) chakras via collective instincts, etc… you get the idea.

The electromagnetics of the heart are connected into the electromagnetics of the earth, the electromagnetics of all life forms on the planet.  We feel the electromagnetic connection between all life, everywhere, through the beat of our hearts.
FYI: by everywhere, I mean across time, off planet and beyond . . .

When I asked ‘how wide is your circle ?’, I was aiming to get you (and me) – thinking.

Who or what do you let into your circle ?
Into your heart ?
This is the glyph for Sun.  Sun rules the heart, the number
ONE.
What I am saying is we are ALL IN THE SAME CIRCLE.

I am in yours, you are in mine.  We are in a soul contract, all earthkind HERE and NOW are working together to LEARN and GROW.  In fact, everything everywhere is in one big ginormous contract, to be honest.  We need each other – each and every one – we are in a global symbiotic relationship.  I almost wrote symbionic, which oddly enough, is a true mistake. Working together, we are better, stronger, faster.

CO – EXIST

Venus needs friends.

Venus needs friends to pull her back from the edge, to lift her up and give her love and compassion in order for her to gain equilibrium and peace of mind.  All life on this planet is both capable of loving and in need of love – those that are seemingly devoid of love need it the most, for how else will they heal if not through love ?
Hate does not heal – love heals.
We are all in the same circle.

::::::::::::::::::::::
Fire signs are the courageous leaders of the zodiac, people often turn to them for answers in troubled times.  Those with strong Jupiter or Sagittarius energy are also sought for answers, for they SEE farther, they are the sign of higher mind.

I got news for you, we don’t have all the answers either.  I asked the whole world for an answer one sunny afternoon a coon’s age ago . . .and got a plethora of answers, all from different eyes, but the Same Heart Place.

Ultimately there is only ONE answer.
Love.

Venus is personal love while Neptune is her higher octave, spiritual compassion.
High qi Neptune is the light bearer for the spiritual Sun, she will raise human perceptions to the divine.
She is a LOVE of LIFE, a HEALING HOPE for ALL to THRIVE in HARMONY.
She teaches the art of letting go . . . the art of going with the flow of each moment as it unfolds.  Birth, life, death and re-birth, it is the way.  Love transcends all these stages of energy, all times, all places . . . love transcends all boundaries.

::: Let us have love and more love; a love that melts all opposition, a love that conquers all foes, a love that sweeps away all barriers, a love that aboundeth in charity, a large-heartedness, tolerance, forgiveness, and noble striving, a love that triumphs over all obstacles :::
Abdul Baha

peace be with you

You have been chosen.

Moon into Libra 12:35pm

Last night I watched Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and found myself wanting  deeper character and script development.  It was a good story but many things I was curious about were abandoned, never explored in the depth I hoped for. 
::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Raise the Red Lantern (above) still clocks in as my fave after years.  Visually rich, each scene framed to perfection – even the sounds of the lanterns being hung sticks with me. The women in the movie are emotionally rich, passionately breathing their solitary viewpoint into a tangled viper’s nest of multiple wives, jealousies, friendships and betrayals.

Each wife eagerly awaits the nightly lantern lighting and the loving attention it signals.  You have been chosen.  Food, wine and sex is forthcoming…
Is very Moon into Libra, yes…?
Emotional fluctuations between a house of wives, all revolving around choice.

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

I wanted to explore the concept of Laotong or bonded kindred sisters that Snow Flower described.  Chinese women, the Laotong or “Old-Sames” relationship was the most precious friendship bond. This was a more rare and formal relationship between women. A woman could only have one Laotong, and the bond was for life. (wiki)

Chinese astrological profiles of the girls were used for matching them, followed by the signing of a sealed legal contract.  Laotong often created a shorthand written language called Nu shu to communicate through written correspondence, a language only their sister could understand.   Fascinating !

I have Merc in Libra at MC and tons of Scorp energy, so secret signals and communiques are obviously way cool.  In fact, the sisters in Snow Flower wrote messages on the reverse folds of a fan.  Fans were once commonly held by fashionable women, and were an extension of body languageFlipping your fan closed meant irritation while fluttering was flirtatious.

Snow flower was married well due to her tiny lotus feet, a creepy Chinese tradition of foot binding that was at one time very attractive and desirable for the upper class Chinese.  I looked up the pictures and numbers – freaks me right out ! 

In the 19th century, some 40–50% of Chinese women had bound feet; for upper class women, the figure was almost 100%.   It is estimated that more than one billion Chinese women had their feet bound from the late 10th century to the mid-20th century.  Thankfully that torture was banned long ago, click on the link for more.

Horrifying – makes my Neptuner square Venus /Jupiter cringe !
Mars in Sag too – ugh !

Happy Libra Moon . . .

two as one

My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless.
Neither body or soul.
I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one
and that one call to and know,
first, last, outer, inner,
only that
 breath breathing human being.

when the moon comes UP

Katarina

Am I awake or dreaming . . . ? . . .  so hard to tell these days . . .

Boatload of planets moved into the Vampy Scorpio cave : Sun, Saturn and North Node of Density, (haha – Destiny) Merc Rx plus Jupiter Rx (rules my 12th) in thinking Gemini; Supermoon Scorpio eclipse ON my natal Neptuner = I dream of everybody and their second cousin twice removed.  

Seriously, Gregg Allman ?!  What’s that about ?!  I haven’t even listened to Bros & Sisters lately…though I might drag it out now.  Gregg doesn’t have a subconscious hold on me – in case you were wondering – he introduced me to someone who does.

If you have been on my mind in the last few years and I have been trying to jettison you and whatever subconscious hold you have on me : I AM throwing IT DOWN and SHAKING YOU OFF –> when the MOON comes UP – you’re going DOWN.

WoOoHoOo !!

Venus is trine Neptune in Pisces now – out of sign, but of course I am getting it, have been for a couple weeks.  Higher octaves of art and love in air and water are CREATING BALANCE.

Right ON !

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

RETROGRADES are prime time for REINVENTION and REVISION.  

How do you want your life to be ?  

THINK it then BE IT !  

Moon is moving into a trine with Venus – both in AIR.
Moon is in Aquarius – that is Primo for emotional Changes.

Make it work !

paws & claws

Strange pic, yah ?
Caption: my feet are killing me.
Suitably Neptune in Scorpio, soOo in the observance of Scorpio Mercury Rx (revealing Scorpionic secrets!) heading to conjunct North Node while Mars is in the last degree of Sagittarius (my 12th, 12th/Pisces rules feet), I am going to reveal something weird about my feet.

Yah, I KNOW, yet another weird thing about me.  I have an infinite supply, believe me.
HA ! Pisces joke !
  Typically 11th house Neptunian in nature, it came to me in a flash for no / KNOW reason whatsoever…  so I suppose it needs to be revealed, and now is the time.

I have a collection of dead feet.
:::::::::::::

(nods.)  True story.
  Somehow I have ended up with several dead feet.  Moon in Toro (collects stuff) here opposite biggie Neptune in Scorpio (collects dead stuff) which squares the 8th death.
I have
 a bunch of dead paws & claws.

haha HAVE -Taurus joke !

Rabbit
Raccoon
Bird
Red fox

They have been given or found, except for the raccoon which I actually bought years and years ago.  I have no idea why I did, so don’t bother asking.  Freaked my boyfriend out, I do remember that much.


Another thing, Nobody touches my feet.
Nobody.  
I don’t care who you are, or about your feet/street cred. No. – Hands off !

What got me to thinking all this is good luck charms.
I’m going to give one to my friend.
NO, not a foot.
So don’t freak out.

::::::::

Now that the Merc Rx secrets have been revealed …

Moon is in Capricorn conjunct Pluto
emotional reboot
– haha stop me with the foot thing

Mars into Capricorn at 8:36pm CST, USA

surprises on the horizon which will re-invent your future

Saturn in Scorpio Sextiles them all

Turn the Tide

Rain of Feelings

We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes, our ravages.
Our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to transform them in ourselves and others.
Albert Camus

Weekend, blessed weekend.  sheesh – whadda week.  Seems like everywhere I turn someone is in a snit.  The emotional Neptunian tide is turning with a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on the way – whoa.  Some peeps seriously need to chill.  
SoOo on with energy clearing via water, as promised.

::::::::::::::
Water cleansing 101

The ugly cry. 
Instant pent up hornmoanal release !  Emotional tears contain more protein-based hormones, and leucine enkephalin (a natural painkiller).  That’s right, your very own, in house, Doctor Feelgood, on call 24/8 !

Hydrate.  Drink water, lots of water – blessed by you – with your intent (prayer). 

Neptune rules Memory, Neptune rules the sea – think – Earth is 70 % water : your body is roughly the same percentage.  Sending your good vibrations and intent (prayer) to the water will change the molecular structure and increase the health benefits immediately in your liquid body. [ via Memory of Water. ]  If you like soda, consider sparkling water instead : fizz, without high fructose – add some fruit juice for natural sugar.

Bathe with sea or epsom salts.
Sea salts are absorbed quicker through the skin, they are alkaline and therefore help to lower the acidity of the body.  Salt helps the body produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain, and it also relieves muscle aches and cramps by removing accumulated lactic acid in the body.

Epsom salt will replenish the level of magnesium in the body and is very helpful in treating many skin conditions.  * Make a spritzer with essential oil / distilled water for crisis situations – will do wonders !

Sing in the shower.
Really let ‘er rip !  Unspoken rule at chez moon – shower goes with music goes with shower.  They are ALWAYS conjunct in this house.  Sound waves penetrate water faster – so choose wisely. 
Sound moves at a faster speed in water (1500 meters/sec) than in air (about 340 meters/sec).

Since we are talking Neptune and waves, all matter is made of waves.  
All forces are due to changes in wave velocity.

Vibrate higher, feel lighter.
Transcend.
