Saturn rules spiders, they build.

I am careful not to destruct their webs while walking through my yard.
I just sit and watch them spin, they fascinate me.
Building.  Always building.  Work, work and more work.

Spider, my yard

Spinning all sorts of webs, not just orbs like you see pasted up in Halloween windows,  but funnels and string lines with lassos, all sorts of designs to suit the purpose.
I wonder how many webs a spider spins during their life ?  How many times does their masterpiece get wrecked to the point it is better to leave it and start over on another one ?
Pluto is wrecking ball my Saturn right now.


Asheville, NC artist.  Please, forgive, too many years ago to remember.

Neptune is opposing my Venus Jupiter conjunction in the 8th, and I want to build art.
I want the materials and tools (Mars) in my hands.  (Saturn in Aries 3rd, trine Mars in Sag)
I love to work with my hands (Gemini 6th).  I love leatherwork.  (Saturn rules me and leather)  I love the way it smells and the way the wrinkles in the hide feel underneath my fingertips when I lace it with sinew.  (Toro Moon 4th)

Gneiss Moon

It’s dead, and I’m Plutonic.
Skulls, bones, feathers, hides, skins, rocks, crystals, quills, furs, twigs and sticks, axes and arrowheads are all over my place.  Death is a part of life.  I get the feng shui, and I practice it my way.  The dead stuff stays.

I’m pretty Uranian too with Neptune waterfalling all over my chart from the 11th and Uranus/Pluto conjunct Sun in the 9th.

I’m self – taught in many areas, I prefer it to classes, tests and schedules.
What I want to learn, no school around here teaches anyway.

Lone wolf.

Manifest Destiny

Pictured below is Pluto, yes Pluto.  Not space object whatever downgrade term it got smacked with.  Check some of the Pluto posts here if you doubt this tiny planets whallop on the natal chart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have it conjunct Sun/Uranus, trine Moon, trust me it has power, no matter what you call it.  Don’t let that freak you out, though.  Pluto rules metamorphosis and rebirth ~> think phoenix, or caterpillar to butterfly.
Not easy, but worth it !
Now on with the sky show…

~~~~~~~~~~~
11:00 UT, (6:00 CST) we will have a big pile up in the Cardinal (activity, action) Air sign (thinking, speaking) of Libra.  Two degree Mercury conjunct New Moon, and Moon conjunct Sun at 4 degrees- all square Pluto at 4 degrees.  Mercury is at 2 degrees opposite Uranus at 2 degrees, with Sun and New Moon opposite as well.  Uranus squares Pluto.  Those are some stressful aspects, but what growth isn’t..?

Look at it this way…

1= seeds, new beginnings   2=balance, duality    4= stability    5=change
6= harmony within flux  8= strength, new priorities  9=mystical, closure

The healers Chiron & Neptune are seeds, new beginnings.
Mercury (thoughts, communication) and Uranus (change) are balance, duality.
Saturn (responsibility) and Jupiter (visionary ideas) are mystical closure.
Mars (action) is change.
Venus (love, kindness) is harmony within flux.
Sun, Moon and Pluto are stability.
North Node of Destiny is strength and setting new priorities in the sign of Sagittarius the seekers of Universal Truth.

Quintiles are spiritual gifts straight from the universe.  There are several in the sky above… Venus Q Mars….Mars Q Saturn…Jupiter Q Neptune…Neptune Q North Node of Destiny (note that Jupiter and Neptune are bi-Q Sun, Moon, and Mercury as well)

This is a great chance to get some power behind all those thoughts of love, peace, equality, healing so they can manifest into your destiny.  The planet of action (Mars) is creating tension (change) from Leo of the Heart to the biggest planet in our sky the greater benefic, Jupiter in the dependable sign of Taurus that Venus (Love) rules.

Mars (action) is trine (harmony) changeable Uranus and sextile (opportunity) Sun, New (manifestation) Moon and Mercury (conscious, unconscious, thinking) in the Cardinal (active, initiatory) sign of balance, the sign of relationships, Libra.

Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Chiron are all Rx (retrograde), so these are changes that will perhaps bloom slowly, but are worth the effort.

From NASA :

A coronal mass ejection bursting off the left side of the sun. This image was

captured by the SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) at 6:05 PM ET on September 21, 2011.

A large coronal mass ejection (CME) shot off the West (right) side of the sun at 6:24 PM ET on September 21, 2011. The CME is moving away from Earth at about 900 miles per second.

 

An X1.4 class (click for video) flare was recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) on the morning of September 22, 2011.

(X-1 flares may cause (click) radio blackouts.)

In the sky Uranus (magnetics) is opposite Sun (electro-magnetics).
Super-powered Pluto is squaring (tension) both….interesting…

True.

A lovely lady with a true heart and deep booming voice from the depths of her soul, Johnette Napolitano, a dyed-in-the-wool LA woman was born under a 29 degree Virgo Sun / Mars.
POWER
Moon conjunct Mercury, Mercury conjunct Pluto all in Virgo.
Emotional depth / intelligence.

~~
Johnette has Venus conjunct North Node of destiny and Neptune in Scorpio.
The voice that brings the dark to light.
Saturn in Sagittarius trine Uranus in Leo both in sextile to Jupiter in Libra.
Unusual visionary creativity of spiritual depth coupled with a strong sense of justice.

Cheers to many more years, you’re amazing ~ xo

dragon’s head

Ammonites are fossils, previous homes to cephalopods that lived in the seas between 240 – 65 million years ago.
The name originates from the Greek Ram-horned god called Ammon.

In the Middle Ages they were called ‘dragon’s heads’ and worn for protection.  The Blackfoot tribe also wore them to ward off evil spirits as ‘buffalo stones’.

Ammonite is a powerful re-birthing stone; it represents the sacred geometry of the golden mean and the cyclical nature of life.
It is excellent for centering, and relaxation through calming the breath, and pulse.  It can awaken the kundalini and foster harmonious energy flow throughout the body.


If you are very Earthy, or just simply a lover of stones, you may like to find a pocket totem to carry as a reminder to vibrate high energies during the Uranus oppositions to Sun, Mercury and Venus.
Venus is also conjunct Saturn.  Pluto is squaring the above, and Uranus too.

There is energy pushing and pulling in the sky in many earth signs.
…so I am making friends with the Earth energies via ammonite…

Capricorn rules Saturn, Saturn rules rocks , they are made with pressure over eons of time ~ very Plutonic.
Saturn is my chart ruler, both luminaries are in Earth, so I dig rocks. 

They help me focus my energies and practice patience, with myself and others.
….may they help you as well…

Evolve, Love

Morphing is in progress
Pluto is squaring Sun, Venus and Uranus

Kathy Keifer

Pluto is breaking down barriers and rebirthing in Capricorn – a cardinal (active), building sign.  Pluto in trine to visionary Jupiter in Venus ruled Taurus brings some much needed luck ~ but not without work !

Pluto square Venus and Uranus opposite Venus is getting on her nerve, forcing changes if need be, but she is Quintile (spiritual gifts) North Node of Destiny.
A sprinkle of magic dust, that is…   sortof a cosmic Tim Gunn over your shoulder
Make it work !
…ooOoo how I miss Project Runway…

Pluto is a bugger most any day and Jupiter is in square to Leo Mars…so expect a gumbo of hard work and play.
Optimistic Jupiter is Quintile dreamy Neptune, so turn on the imagination and go for it !

BOOM

Pluto rules power, force, struggle atomics, research, decay, the underworld, mining, anything rare or miraculous, psychoanalysis, transformation & rebirth, and is the ruler of Scorpio.

Pluto is small, yet very impressive…dynamite comes in small packages after all.

Pluto is direct on the 16th (two days).
In my natal, Pluto is conjunct my Sun/ Uranus and trine my Moon, and transiting Pluto is currently parked right near my Ascendant ….waiting….silently waiting.

Fun~ Not !
It’s a fuqin luminary party crash and anyone telling you Moon trine Pluto is easier than a conjunction, square or opposition…well just keep them the hell away from me right now…fair warning !
Pluto is Pluto, no matter how it blows up in your face, ya dig ?!

Pluto is now going to press down by square on my Saturn Rx in Aries, so hello headaches.  My Moon is in 4th, the natural house of Cancer, (rules the stomach) so yes, stomach issues again.  Grrr…have had years of this and am soOo Over It Already.
Yammering on, I know- sorry, sick and cranky…it will pass.

If you want to know how Pluto going direct will be working in your life, look to the house of Capricorn, where is it in your chart ? Expect a forward surge of energy there.
It will also likely be changing the house opposite (Cancer) and those square (Aries and Libra), look to these spots for answers.
What is your Pluto doing, what other planets does it contact ?

(Pluto is affecting all my angles so bitchy morning noon and night today, lol.)

The good news is…rebirth is imminent.

plotting Pluto

Hello folks,
Lessons learned, Pluto-style are up to bat in today’s card reading.

You choose the meanings for each card as they relate to your personal Plutonic experience.
All intentions of this spread to bring the most benevolent insightful outcome for all…

Pluto direct                         Pluto retrograde                          Pluto direct

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto goes direct on 09.16.2011 in Capricorn at 4 degrees.
Check out which house Capricorn falls into in your chart for where your life will begin moving forward after the internal engines of transformation erupt forth new life.
(Retrograde is forcing inner metamorphosis, direct brings lessons from the depths to the surface)

This day is the vibration of 2.
Two = splitting the zygote, receptivity, union, sensitivity, duality, diplomacy and balance.

Fun times on the 16th as Venus opposes Uranus while Mars squares the Moon / Jupiter conjunction.
Luckily, Neptune is on the bench and a Grand Earth trine keeps things steady as she goes, Capt’n.

Here’s the card that gets to the bottom of things (underside of deck):


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
may your lessons learned give birth to a magnificent phoenix
