Master of Two Worlds

Posted on by

“The standard path of the mythological adventure of the hero is a magnification of the formula represented in the rites of passage: separation—initiation—return: which might be named the nuclear unit of the monomyth.

A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.”

::: Joseph Campbell :::

Makes sense he is all about heroes – Sun (heroes) is exalted in Aries, in trine to Moon in Leo (Sun rules).  What makes a hero ?  < Now that is a class I would love to take !

Five degrees exalted Aries Sun tightly conjunct Mercury exact conjunct Jupiter at six degrees – obviously brilliant teacher / philosopher. In fact, both Mercury and Jupiter are Cazimi, or within 17 minutes of the Sun. This placement is called being in the Heart of the Sun and bestows a very beneficial influence over the cazimi planets.  ( Combust is greater than 17 minutes; less than 10 degrees, is considered less beneficial as the Sun’s rays overpower the energy of the combust planet.)

This whammy trio is the focal point of a T-Square with 29 degree Uranus (culmination degree) in 3rd house Sagittarius making Joseph a unique, cerebral thinker – a visionary explorer.  Uranus opposes 9th house Neptune in Cancer the planet of myths and mythologies in the sign of storytellers and oral traditions.  Great teaching vibe in the 9th house as well – in square to the 6th; detailed analysis of myths and stories from across the globe.

Sixth house Sun, Mercury, Jupiter all trine Moon in Leo 10 – leadership qualities strong, communication of worldly status of the individual in relation to family dynamics and community.  Sensitivity to family pride, fluctuations within tribal self as well as global self.  Examination of creative expressions of self as they relate to global community (Moon, public in 12).

Sagittarius Uranus trine Aries Mars (strong, it rules – in good aspect as well) conjunct descendant in 7th is a pioneer in personal relationships.  Sextiles Saturn in Aquarius 4th so again, solidification of the USE of personal / family / global relationships as they relate to the individual’s journey through life on earth (Saturn).

Venus is exalted in Pisces from the creative 5th house in trine to Neptune in Cancer in 9th, sensitivity strong, heart for teaching inspiring social dynamics, spiritual intelligence behind the personal quest – the quest to not only survive, but succeed.

Aries types are passionate and Gung HO to GO – courageous, inspired leaders who also want YOU to succeed.
 Joseph definitely excelled in inspiring the global community to explore the fool’s journey, the exile, the quest and the redemption and eventual return of the hero.

God, I do love fire signs – bouncing around life’s pre-game: C’mon – Let’s GO !!
Every single thing is a chance for a fun new adventure !
Reading Joseph Campbell inspired George Lucas to write Star Wars – YaY !

(Interesting to note transiting Uranus is conjunct Joseph’s natal Sun/Merc/Jup conjunction – transits remain relevant to the natal chart even after leaving this world – – fascinating, yes ?)

The Zia Pueblo is one of 19 Pueblos in New Mexico, it is located 16 miles north of Albuquerque.  They are a Keres speaking people.


Their symbol, a red circle with groups of rays pointing in four directions, is painted on ceremonial vases, drawn on the ground around campfires, and used to introduce newborns to the Sun.

Four is the sacred number of the Zia and can be found repeated in the four points radiating from the circle. According to the Zia’s belief, the number four is embodied in:

the 4 points of the compass
– north
– south
– east
– west

the 4 seasons of the year
– spring
– summer
– autumn
– winter

the 4 periods of each day
– morning
– noon
– evening
– night

the 4 seasons of life
– childhood
– youth
– middle years
– old age

the 4 sacred obligations one must develop 
– a strong body
– a clear mind
– a pure spirit
– a devotion to the welfare of others

If you are a 4 life path, you are practical, down to earth, stable and focused on the structures and foundations in your life.  Four is ruled by the planet Saturn, symbolizing time, building and earth.  Four is the number of fruition, the basis or manifestation of an idea.  Fours want to reap tangible results, they like having power and control.  They prefer reason, logic and reality over dreaming and fluidity.  Fours are patient, steadfast and reliable.

Fours dig problem – solving, justice, the methodical approach and above all, honesty.  They possess rare discipline and perseverance, they are responsible and diplomatic, traditional and courageous.  Their weaknesses are being too rigid and reluctant to change.  Once committed to a goal, they are relentless in the pursuit of it, they do not give up.

Buddhists recognize the Four Noble Truths.
The Four Humors are the metabolic agents in the human body.
The Four Elements that constitute all matter are Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

If you live in a four house, you can count on stability and structure.

If you don’t have a four house, and want one – write the number to add to your house number that will equal four in your doorjam.  For example: if you live at 22 Jump street you are set, as  2+2 = 4.  If you live at 12 Jump street, write “1” inside your doorjam.
Quickie numerology rundown is here.

I grew up on rural route 4 and I loved it.  Once we moved to a 32, (5) all hell broke loose.  Screaming and fighting 24/8, it sucked.  I live in a 7 now and am mystical gung ho spiritual hermit jedi chick.

I wrote the symbol for Jupiter, which also happens to resemble a 4 on my doorjam, giving me a master number 11- illumination, inspiration and intuition.
Oh yeah, and  King of Wands, lol ! . . . (wave, wink xo) . . . hopefully some Jupiterian good luck will rub off on me !  Eleven is the higher octave of 2, it brings balance to the force.

namaste and May the Force be with You . . .

zen transit

Posted on by

Lovely little zen transit we’re having, yes..?

Luna exalted in Toro smooshed in between Jupiter and Venus the benefics…mmm… couldn’t have come at a better time after all that Sun Uranus business.

Were you jittery, sleepless..?…  welcome to my world…it passed, and now we can rest up a bit, Moon loves Taurus loves Moon.

I have Sun conjunct Uranus in my natal, so nothing new energy wise, except it did spark a huge need for purge and separation from all the stagnant male trash laying around.
Giant two drawer filing cabinet purged !  Vesta is in Aries too, I set fire to all of it in my fireplace – quite satisfying, yes indeed.
I have Saturn Rx in Aries so enter Fire Sun + Uranus = heave HO !
Not to mention transit Pluto is in Capricorn square my Saturn Rx as well.

Sun and Saturn are the father, the men, the authorities in the natal.
Pluto and Uranus shakes everything loose, hallelujah, Amen !

All I needed was a bit of Arian activation and Mars Rx and Mercury Rx in mutual reception resulted in Virgo feng shui & organization shiva style.
Fancy that – trumped Toro Moon tv watching and couch spudding. !

Out with the Old and In with the New, right ON !

Did you feel a similar shift in your Aries house..?  Your natal house where Mars lives, perhaps..?…then your Mercury house probably felt it too, since they are hooked up energetically.  Whatever it was ~> it was a drastic shift in focus, am I right ?!
Gotta love the new perspective Uranus always brings, bit easier with good earth energies to ground the electricity, yes..?  I certainly was a productive little Virgo, and it came out of nowhere ZAP presto !

Enjoy the sensual massage Moon, Luna enters Gemini the 29th and Lunar energies will scatter and chatter.  She’s more energetic and flighty in air, so finish your practical work now and brainstorms will come later in Gemini.

Jupiter in Taurus is quintile (talent, spiritual gift) Neptune in Pisces; they are traditional and modern rulers of Pisces, respectively.
It’s a fabulous time for divination and artwork ~ any sort of creativity, really.
Taurus is Venus ruled and lots of good vibes are the rolling thunder under that house in your chart at the moment.  Take advantage of it, Moon moves to square Neptune tomorrow night as it moves to the latter degrees of Taurus.

Saturn Rx in Libra is quintile Pluto in Capricorn as well.
Work the gift, USE it to create something, re-structure your place of business, beautify your workspace and make it work for you !

Here’s the Bagua ~ orient the career portion to where you sit at your desk.  Use colors, objects as described in the chart to inject a fresh energy VooOoSH  into your work environs and bring prosperity, luck, romance, etc…


I have 2 desks; a solid wood workbench suitable for hammering pounding and making leather – 3 feet from it is my computer desk.

Candles in the romance sector on both desks, I always have liked them on the upper right.  I have a metal elephant bell (trunk up !) in the creativity sector on my workbench, did that much intuitively, without the map, so that’s cool. This is not the first time I’ve ‘got’ the feng shui intuitively, I love fusion interiors, comes naturally.

What’s on your desk ?  My computer desk has Yoda in the fame sector, lol.
Jedi Master… fame & reputation…works for me !
peace out ~ 

Use the force ~

Higher Octave

Posted on by

ok.  So here’s the deal.
Nobody gets outta here alive, folks.
We’ve been dying since the day we were born.
I’m not gonna bring the gloom and doom.
Instead, here’s some love and light.

After all, Mercury rules numbers and is presently conjunct Venus which rules love.
Both planets are at 11 degrees or 2 – balance, relationship between two forces.

11:11 on 11.11.11  ?

What does it mean to you ?  It will happen twice on this day so does
11:11 AM mean illumination, happiness ?
11:11 PM darkness, despair ?

It’s up to you !

It’s a matter of polarities.
Yin/yang, positive/negative, attract/ repel.
It is a matter of polar opposites finding their balance.

It is an awareness of the choice between the two  that counts.

Do you see the rose or the thorn ?
Do you light a candle or curse the darkness ?

I mean c’mon admit it, we all have our bad days.
The attitude / altitude we carry within is what makes the difference.

There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way. 

There is no black or white in humans.
We are all shades of grey, a fusion of the planetary energies put in place when we were born.
No one is all good or all bad.
We are all creators and destroyers.
We are each and every one a unique gumbo – a perfectly blended human.
We are perfection in chaos.

Here’s the info on the numbers and the vibes:

11.  11 is the beginning of a higher series of numbers and represents a transcendental realm of knowledge.  11 is energy, intuition and perception.  It represents power, strength, and the ability to control baser instincts.
It is the higher octave of 2. (2 is balance, duality, choice)

11.11.11 = 6  
6 is harmony within flux, creativity, six is a perfect number- meaning it is both a sum and a product of the first 3 numbers.

11.11.2011 = 8
8 is strength, regeneration, power operating, eternity.  The I Ching uses 64 8 x 8 yarrow configurations.

11:11 on 11.11.11 = 10/ or 1
10 is the Pythagorean symbol of completeness.  Humans have 10 fingers, toes, decimal system, the power of ten.
1 is the root of raw power operating, the creative seed, the leaders.  One multiplied by itself always remains one.

11:11 on 11.11.2011 = 12/ or 3
12 is universal fulfillment, the 12 zodiacal signs, 12 day time hours, 12 night-time hours.
3 is mystical and spiritual, the first flowering expansion from 2.  It signifies increase and exploration.

11+11+11 = 33
33 is a higher octave of 6 (see above) and is the number of illumination, the master teacher and healer.  It is the flower of life, creation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have read over and over that 11:11 is a gateway, a digital code, a door to enlightenment and awakening.
Sure, maybe it is.  Maybe happy hour on Friday is too.

Why not make every moment a doorway to a new and better world ?
Why wait ?

And please don’t let fear of death ruin your life.

Bene Gesserit Litany against fear: Dune

I must not fear.
 Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Yoda:   “A Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger…fear…aggression. The dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice.”
Luke: “Vader. Is the dark side stronger?”
“No…no…no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.”
Luke: “But how am I to know the good side from the bad?” 
Yoda: “You will know. When you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.”
