Seems the Dune fear is the mind-killer quote (previous post) prompted some internal cuss & discuss with some readers.

How to break through the wall of fear…?
Good question.
Saturn rules/indicates fear.
Saturn also rules walls, structures, fortifications and solidity – all things blessed when we are in need of them to shelter us from harm – even from ourselves.

Saturn is a pause.  An exalted Libra pause to consider, reflect and refine in order to balance.  If fear comes knocking at your door (all Saturn) …
Pause… until you feel or create your perspective shift – then regroup & proceed.

::::::
This was a tough new moon for me so I took to the couch prior (yes Toro Moon, quit laughing) and watched every single episode/season of The Tudors back to back, then Elizabeth. (Cate !)  I have looked for them repeatedly in my local library and rarely found one or two available, never mind all in sequence.  Finding the whole season available in one swell foop – kismet.  A small thing, but I felt blessed – it seemed symbolic of what I personally had to conquer this new moon.  I needed the couch downshift – the mental, physical,  emotional, spiritual reboot – time to escape elsewhere and drift away….which made the switch to vertical reality afterwards all the more bracing. (Yes, another Saturn word.)
::::::

If you can’t walk, crawl.  If you can’t crawl, recline.  Sleep well, long and hard.
Rest until you feel spirit stirring you to create, compete, win – even if only against your former self.  The door to progress will slowly swing open (Gemini) when you are ready to shift into a higher gear/ altitude.

Your mind and heart and spirit will be in agreement.
Steady as she goes, Capt’n.
Tortoises are cautious…they wisely wait…to stick their necks out when they feel safe.
(Moon, Saturn, Moon)

Trust the process.
That is Saturn.

Curse of Capricorn Rising with Aries Saturn Rx in 3rd.
Self-doubt.
Uranus direct on said Saturn; Mars in Libra opposite.

My query . . .
Am I as good an astrologer as I think I am ?
Yes.
Stop all your worrying.
Relax.

Don’t misunderstand, I know there is plenty of room for improvement, I have so many books in my studio I want to pour over NOW, but I must work.
It has taken me a coon’s age (nearly one thousand posts) to find my sea legs, and I am still working out my backdoor Mars biz.  (In addition to some whammy fixed squares from the 8th.) 

I have realized what I enjoy – consequently do best – is popping theory, making connections, seeing sides, weaving a tapestry aka Mercurious Alchemy.
I love having fun with astrology and divination of all kinds.
I also love deep six psychological excavation. 

This post is for all those struggling to carve out their own path.
Just Keep Going – your path is Yours Alone.

It amuses me how the draw above is so obviously multi-faceted.
Saturnian worry meets Mars Q Uranus in 9. (My Saturn trines Mars)
Deep psychological astro meets the ridiculous. *
Complexity hidden in the Singular.
I am a teacher. (3)
Fascinating.

Mountain formation – Boom !
Entirety here.
Gaia is an amazing place to live…human life span is but a blip in geological time.

I recently read Time Warped – a fantastic look at human perceptions of time (Saturn), memory (Moon) and the future (Neptune/Uranus).
Neptune as emotional future; Uranus as intellectual future.

I loved reading that those who are able to look further into the past are also able to look further into the future.  One ability mirrors the other – fascinating, yes ?

Saturn is my chart ruler and my Moon is in Toro 4, exalted and in its natural house, Neptune most highly aspected.
I have had weird experiences with time, memory and earth energies, so this next bit about 12 pairs of Earth Nodes/Nulls aka Time Capsules piqued my interest.

Red Dead Redemption. by ScorpionBlaze
Red Dead Redemption

Damn I love a gritty western. 
Silence
Logic
Task. 
Saturn.

Jupiter and Saturn are the social planets – they BRIDGE the gap between the quicker moving personals Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars – and the much slower generational planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

::::::::::::
Have a look at your natal Saturn.
Have a look at your house Scorpio. 
Herein lies your test.
::::::::::::

For everyone this Saturnian / Scorpionic energy revolves around Plutonic desires in opposition (peace talks) with the haves – or the have nots – (whatever the case may be) across the wheel (via another) in Venus-ruled Taurus.

The house your Scorpio lands in will tell the tale of woe and redemption. 
Discipline, lack, restriction, conservation, patience and perseverance over time.
WORK and LOTS of it.
Live Long and Prosper vibe permeates.
Capricornian (Saturn) energy keeps going when the going gets tough.

:::MUST.
::::::::CLIMB.
::::::::::::: ALTITUDE.

Work is the opportunity OUT for everyone.
Houses Virgo and Capricorn hold the golden tickets – daily routine and career on the material earth bound plane.
Push it, work it.
Know your craft, intensify study, crank out effort that equals results.

There is now a mutable (flexible) Mercurial (thinking) VIRGO Sun (and Mercury until 9/9) trine every material manifestation until Sun moves into Libra on 9/22.
Let this be your foundation to build a dream on.

Mortar = differentiating between desires and wants.

What do you NEED ?

Think bare bones.
Hard tack, water, shelter, sleep.
Then move UP from there.

Saturn is in mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn.
Plutonic transformation and metamorphosis is MAINLINING Saturnian work
at the mo & this obviously applies in reverse as well.

If you are struggling with desires and how to plunge, plow or proliferate forward…
Metamorphoset the Goal(s).

Go bare bones.
Simplify.
Work your desires rather than let them work YOU.

peace

Young John Lennon
Young John Lennon

I was stunned by the news I heard today. 
A friend told me, thankfully, so it wasn’t quite as weird as hearing it from somewhere else, but make no mistake – it weirded me right out, regardless.

This man has a family, he is not public property and it takes big balls to even make such an asinine request.  He is not here for the permission giving, now is he ?

My point, if Michael Jackson opted for cryogenics while he was alive, coherent and full tilt boogie on coming back intact in a bazillion scientifically advanced years, that is his business, he decided, and it is altogether different. (For the record, I don’t know what MJ personal biz re: funeral arrangements, is, was, or claim to in any way shape or form, however; I do know MJ had rights to a great part of the Beatles back catalogue, but you don’t want to get me started on that either, fair warning.)

I have a great deal of respect for Julian and his mother, Cynthia and this post is primarily for them, also for Sean.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Pop you a bit of synastry while I am at it.
Wonder why I am seeing red ?  I did, so I looked at John’s chart again.

My Toro moon is exactly conjunct John’s Saturn/Jupiter conjunction in Toro.
Incidentally, my late father has Uranus Rx exact conjunct my Moon as well.
Moon is feelings
Saturn, teeth, past, father
Jupiter, ideals, philosophies
Uranus, weird surprises, the odd
So this tidbit about John really pitched my zen right out the window.

Remember I said it weirded me right out ?
John’s Toro Uranus is in exact trine to my Uranus in Virgo, which happens to be conjunct Sun and Pluto.
Sun is life.
Pluto is death, rebirth.

Is this science and who exactly is this healing ?
Kindly put the tooth back in the box and stfu.
Thank you.

Ok, rant over.
Now business head.
The natal chart can be read after death by looking at transits to natal energies.  We can see triggers that mean a biopic after death, a new release of archived material, or some weirdo waving a rotten tooth around.
:::::::::::::
John Lennon transits
Transiting North Node of Destiny at 10 degrees Scorpio, Saturn at 6 degrees conjunct natal Mercury (youth, messages, flipsides, and children) in Scorpio at 8.  I have been going on and on about streamlining the past, clearing the dross, (Saturn) healing (in Scorpio) in regards to metamorphosis (Scorpio is life, death and rebirth) into the destined future, (North Node) but this is not what I imagined when I wrote that – not by any means.

North Node of Destiny and Saturn are opposite (juggling energy with another) John’s Saturn/Jupiter conjunction in Taurus while also square Moon in Aquarius (feelings regarding science) and square Chiron (wounded healer) and Pluto (death,  metamorphosis, rebirth) in early Leo, which is ruled by the Sun, or life.

Uranus Rx (eccentricity, radical ideas, and oddly enough – astrologers) is transiting over John’s South Node aka: what was, while in square to a 9 degree Pluto (rebirth) at his midheaven (peak of public achievements) at 7 degrees Capricorn (past).

Transiting Mercury and Sun are conjunct John’s Venus in Virgo which forms a quincunx (change in altitude) to Moon in Aquarius (feelings and scientific awakenings).

:::::::::::::::
That is it – I have had it.
Rockstar politicians, GMO’s, elephant slaughter, the bee crisis, Syria, and wtf now this flake with a manky old tooth ?!

I have to commune with nature now.
Peace out

Understanding the workings of the heavens gave the ancient navigators an anchor in time from which one could calculate an estimated location on a map.

Many scientists originally thought the Antikythera Mechanism, which is believed to be 2000 years old, was a piece of navigational equipment.

Little did they know it would be one of the most important scientific measuring devices ever discovered.
This video describes its shipwreck origins.

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

The Antikythera Mechanism is the earliest preserved portable astronomical calculator, calculating the Sun, Moon and likely the positions of the inner planets which were known in antiquity.
The mechanism was used to predict solar and lunar eclipses. 

This video shows how the gear assembly works – fantastic !
Saturn = time
Uranus = machines
