O + 8 & Z

Funny sometimes how astrology plays out … subtle planetary nuances, whispers of moods, or screams ! – depending.
Yesterday I was really feeling the pressure cooker.

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

I am a civil servant.  (I know, how Virgo of me !)  I serve the people…this of course escalates at this time of year.  Did somebody say time ?!  yeegads.

I have Pluto transiting my Capricorn 1st house (opposite 7th- others) and here come the people – all wanting my time (Saturn), a piece of me, lol.  (My Saturn is Rx in Aries, the house of me.)  Pluto is coming up to square my chart ruler, which is Saturn, the immovable Earth (or so it thinks, lol- Pluto is sayin’ oh yeah..?! watch this ! )

Work, work and more work.  Guess what, staycation is More Work.  I wake up from working out the daytime issues at nightime, (crazy dreams last night) so Saturn never sleeps.  Oh, and did I mention there is an eclipse coming ?
Oh goodie !  .whatever.
In Gemini, the twins (anybody here do cloning ?) on my 6th house of bingo ! work and service !  
*insert maniacal laughter here*

Pluto is a shakedown planet, and so is Uranus (3 days from going direct !) and both are conjunct my Sun in Virgo.  When planets, particularly the outer, transpersonal,  s l o w e r  moving planets get moving, I feel it.. and the days before direct are akin to water on fire boiling to a whistle.

Uranus is the wildcard of the zodiac, and how do I know it ? … well  how much time ya got, lol?!
Mars is quintile Uranus (its the higher octave of Mercury, Lord of Eclipse ) in my natal chart, Mars is trine Saturn, and Mars is transit my Virgo Sun, Uranus, Pluto Stellium, so when the Plutonic pressure is building ~>  take . cover .
jus’ sayin’ !
hahakidding.

Yesterday I thought the pressure could use some intense primal scream therapy  Mars !  but I was in the parking garage and thought it might freak people out.  a.  little.   My little Aries head might have just popped right off with all that Mars screaming- who knows !?  With my Toro Moon it would be loud, perhaps even operatic, lol !

SoOoo I burst into maniacal laughter instead ! ~ which is Venus.
I got loads of oxygen coming in and put out the fuse.
…and there is your happy ending, folks.

happy eclipsing

O= oxygen, with an atomic number  ‘Z’  of 8
8 protons / positive electrical charge
8= strength

* edit, came back to add clarity after my busy day (wrote this before work) and found a special Uranian/Plutonic surprise (they rule mistakes) waiting – snap ! is fixed !  Considering aspects such as Merc Rx, and the others detailed above, should have checked 2x, my apologies.  Nobody’s perfect.  peace out.

Popping in to answer some questions:

Gneiss, what is the numerology of lodestone ?

A:  Lodestone is magnetic, it has positive and negative polarities so my first thought was 2.

According to astrology rulership, 2 is Moon or Cancer.
Lodestones are magnetic, and magnetics corresponds with Uranus, Aquarius and the number 4.

Magnetite (lodestone is a naturally magnetized magnetite) is octahedral.

Meaning it has 8 triangles, 12 edges, 6 vertices.
(Crystals grow mathematically.)

Note in the text below that the octahedron is dual, a mirror of itself –
so again, 2.

Lodestones attract iron fillings, can change the reading on a compass and are used to balance the polarities in the body, aligning all the chakras.
Lodestone is an earth element stone, it is grounding and gives added power to attracting manifestations.  They can be used to stimulate specific points on the body meridians, they help regulate frequencies.  Lodestone is very helpful for protection of one’s energy field.

There is biogenic magnetite in human brain tissue as well, click here to learn more.  It serves as an internal ‘homing device’ which enables us to choose which fork in the road we will take.
Choice is 2.


Gneiss, which Catholic Saint is synchronized with Saturn ?


~~~~~~

A:  Saint Peter. 
He holds the keys to the gates of Heaven.
(Saturn rules gates, binds and constricts.)

Peter’s attribute is a set of keys, from the time Christ said to him: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Mathew 18:18

Gneiss does Pluto rule basements in astrology ?

A: Saturn and Capricorn rule basements, for they rule the earth.
Pluto rules catacombs, the dead buried in the earth.

Moon’s Rapture

Venus is coming up to


conjunct Pluto in Capricorn !

Aquarian fantasy artist Frank Frazetta (solar chart) had Venus closely conjunct Mars in Capricorn, both opposite Pluto, and square Moon.  His Sun and Mercury were opposite Neptune.  Moon was opposite a Uranus Jupiter conjunction in Aries.

Whoa.
It appears he made the most of one Mercury Pluto trine, and one Sun Saturn sextile.
Then we dig deeper and of course, find much, much more.

Sun (spirit)  is trine North Node of Destiny (trailblazing path in the life) and quintile (spiritual gifts) Chiron (the philosopher and the quest).  Moon is quintile Saturn – building a legacy for the public.

Jupiter and Neptune are quintile North Node of Destiny, and Pluto is quintile Chiron – visionary fantasy art on a grand scale that transformed the comic genre forever.

That Venus Mars conjunction in Capricorn gave him exceptional technical skill, and the Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Aries -obviously – look at the power of the human figure in his drawings.

Click here for a wonderful video tribute to Frank and his work.

Gravity

Transiting Pluto square to natal Saturn Rx in Aries (my chart ruler).
Transiting Saturn conjunct MC.

Hard Work.

Find Saturn in your chart to indicate where your experience in life will be tested and perfected.

Find where Saturn transits your natal for where you will be concentrating and persevering through hard work and commitment now.

Saturn brings rewards through hard work.
Saturn is the Lord of Karma.

Partial Solar Eclipse November 25, 12:10 AM CST, USA.
Visible to New Zealand, The Cape of South Africa, Antarctica.

If you have ?? about visibility of this eclipse, or science ?? regarding eclipses in general, click – here.

Now I delve into the astrology !   Micro & Macro YaY !  (rubs hands together)
Pictured below is the astrology of the eclipse, though keep in mind the energy of an eclipse will be felt before and after the actual eclipse.

Eclipses are signposts indicating new directions in life, both personally and globally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Events prior to the eclipse can signal what issues will be brought to the table in the coming months, both personally and globally.   The energies surrounding the eclipse are in flux ~ ride the wave ~ we are approaching the dark of the moon on the 25th.

Dark Moons are times of introspection and quiet, a time of planting your seeds for fresh new beginnings that will expand with the waxing of the moon.  Conversely, a solar eclipse is a very outward, ego powered opportunity for leadership and co-operation.

This eclipse is in Sagittarius, making Jupiter (rules Sagittarius) the Lord of the Eclipse.  Sagittarius loves to have friends, and lots of them from all over the world.  Jupiter is the exploring philosopher, the optimistic teacher who likes to have fun.   Jupiter also expands whatever it touches and it is in Venus ruled Taurus.  Taurus is patient, dedicated, hard-working and practical and they want and need security – both financially and in love (Venus).

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

You can see by the eclipse chart above there is a Grand Earth Trine, that’s material goods, wealth, recognition and success.  Jupiter is in slow and steady earth, building something big with a fiery creative Sagittarius Venus (money, art, earnings, kindness) with a perfectionist Mars bringing the practical power behind the climb.

Uranus, which can be one heck of a wild card is square both Venus and Pluto – so set intentions to be malleable in the face of changes.  Don’t back yourself into a corner financially.  Yes, that means personally and globally.

Did I mention Jupiter, Lord of the eclipse rules bankers ? Well, it does- and it is opposite (a call for compromise) responsible, thrifty Saturn in the sign of the scales of balance, Libra.  What does that tell you..?  exactly.

The quincunx from the solar eclipse point to Jupiter, the ruler of the eclipse ?!
Whoa ! ~ That indicates adaptation and improvisation.  In this case it indicates a regeneration and transformation of character, both personally and globally – a need for adjustment between wants, needs, and ethics.   It is a growing awareness that greed will no longer work for any of us – personally or globally.

Note that Uranus is at 0 degrees in Aries – and it is trine the eclipse degree – that’s a major jumpstart !
Uranus is the rebel; Aries, the pioneer –  first out of the gate to start something new ~>
Imagine all the fabulous new things you can do with the power of an optimistic solar eclipse behind you in the sign of expansion and enthusiasm.

There is a kite with Neptune and Chiron (the only body in water in this chart) at the spiritual helm.  Neptune is inspiration, idealism, spiritual intelligence and yes, suffering.  Neptune just went direct and is building up steam to get the heck out of Aquarius, and Chiron, the healer has already passed into Pisces, which is the sign of divine, faith-driven healing.

Chiron is blazing a trail for Neptune to follow ~ this is a good positive influence, bringing mass attention to the bigger scheme of earthkind / Gaia / Cosmos healing on a global scale.

Mars is in Virgo (Virgo is Mercury or Chiron ruled- depending on who you ask) and Mars is the focal planet of the kite.  Clever Virgo Mars delivers communications regarding the health of the general public via the internet – completely circumventing the useless corporate owned mass media.

Neptune and Chiron opposite Mars in the 12th ~> that’s the Jedi, the sacred warrior – forcing change through spiritual stealth instead of direct confrontation.  Yes, light sabers are deadly, I know.  I am referring here to thought light sabers, the higher octaves and qualities of healing in action with Mars being the blade that cuts away the unnecessary thoughts.  This is the pen (mind) is mightier than the sword aspect. 

Mercury (perception, logic, communication of kinds) is Quintile –gifts direct from spirit- Chiron the philosopher/healer.  Mercury is the Lightbearer for the Physical Sun & this is a Solar Eclipse.  Mercury holds the torch of intellect to alight the the path before ego arrives.  This aspect results in healing thoughts and perceptions.

The Eclipse point, North Node of Destiny, Mercury Rx, and Venus all in Sagittarius in a rolling conjunction (with Pluto popping out on the end in Capricorn) means all these energies are pinging off the eclipse vibe as well.  That is a lot of energy finding internal and external balance (solar / lunar) and expression regarding the philosophy of where are we going on a personal and mass global scale.

Manifest your best destiny and ride the eclipse wave~


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In closing, although this eclipse is only visible to portions of Antarctica, New Zealand and the Cape of South Africa, it is felt by all earthkind via the energy grid, similar to the rolling conjunction I mentioned earlier.

Also, after the eclipse occurs, every planet that moves over the eclipse degree, (by conjunction, opposition or trine) pings a bit of its energy into the eclipse vibe for months afterward.  With that in mind, choose your thoughts and manifest wisely in the days to come…

Lucky Toro Moon

Thursday, November 10th the Moon is full in Taurus at 18 degrees – 2:16 pm CST, USA.

At the time of Full Moon our instincts are keen, we hunt and explore – the world under the ‘midnight’ sun subject to our expanded perception.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I pulled this fortune for you dear reader ~ Moon is domestic; Jupiter, luck.
Mercury (message) is conjunct Venus (friends) conjunct North Node of Destiny.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At full moon, Mars will be at 29 degrees (the last degree) of Leo, impatiently waiting for Virgo to open the door.

Each sign is 30 degrees – when a planet falls on the 29th, or the last degree, the energies express an urgency, a need for atonement and reconciliation before entering the next sign.

Sun opposite Moon (happens at full moon times) are both at 18 degrees, a vibration of 9 = completion.

Mars (power operating) is also in a stable grand trine (ease of expression) with Jupiter (luck, expansion) and Pluto (inner power operating). 

Mars at 29 degrees has the vibration of 2= balance
Jupiter has the vibration of 3 = reconciliation, it is the space between opposites or the ‘middle path’
Pluto has the vibration of 5= metamorphosis, speaks of struggle between forces

Full moon (public) opposite (juggling for balance) Sun (self) takes place in the houses of mine (Taurus moon) and yours (Scorpio Sun).

Moon & Sun: Completion of a cycle, the number 9.
…number 9…number 9…number 9….

Look to 18 degrees in the houses of Taurus and Scorpio in your chart – and the 29th degree of Virgo and/or Mars to see what you are wrapping up, and how the full moon will illuminate your life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Taurus full moon is at 2:16 CST, USA
Chiron goes direct at 0 degrees Pisces shortly thereafter at 5:14 pm CST, USA.

Chiron at o degrees is the vibration of zero.

Zero is the circle, the beginning and  the end, the wheel, and unlimited possibilities.
It is two Pisces fish swimming in opposite directions – one fish the ego, the other the soul.

Chiron in Pisces is compassionate and seeks to heal the entire cosmos, thereby finding relief himself.
Pisces is the lesson of ‘serve or suffer’.

Chiron the healer, philosopher, and herbalist going direct here leading the way for the planet Neptune (which rules Pisces) to follow its path, is a sign of increased spirituality and divine compassion in the years to come for everyone on the planet.
Unlimited possibilities.

It is the lesson of chaos (ego/self) or cosmos (soul/others).
It is the lesson of zero, the sacred circle of life.
All one.
