I’m Saturn’s bitch.  Solution = workWorkWORK.  No Whiners !
Sucking it up moon-wise, tucking the emo BS into my back pocket for the duration. 
We are in dark moon low ebb prior to New Moon/Sun in Cancer – I’m nailing a line drive into popularity. 

Popularity is ruled by:
Sun (shines, creates, fun) is the personal expression of conscious light
Moon (feel, safe, clan) is the personal expression of subconscious dark
Venus ( beauty, loves, graces) is the personal expression of friendship/love

Sun rules fame
Moon rules the public
Venus rules public as well, but more so speaks to direct interpersonal relationships

Chart indicators of popularity
1. When these planets are in good aspect
2.  When these planets are placed in social signs / houses
3.  When the planets are above the horizon + well aspected
4.  When the 10th/ruler of 10th is well aspected

What do you do when the popularity planets are all tied up in tough aspects ? 
Good question.  I’m still working on it.  heh.  Kidding, keep reading…

1.  Find a good aspect to one of the planets above (if it applies) then work it like crazy.
2.  Work those that land in mutable houses aka flexible circumstances. 
3.  Do inner work – transform difficult energies into powerful triumphs/lessons learned.

4.  Golden Rule: Be yourself.

ps.  Yes this post is also a nod to Jupiter into Leo on July 16.  More on that later…

Litha
June 21
Sun enters Cancer
Midsummer Solstice – Longest Day of the Year
Summer Solstice falls at the precise moment when the Sun’s power reaches its zenith.

Summer Solstice is when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky – appears to stop (stations) – then begins its journey back towards the equator to its lowest point in the sky, or Winter solstice.  Click here for movie.

Litha (the Saxon grain goddess, also Demeter or Ceres) is a festival of lighting fires and celebrating the peak of solar days – blossoms, fruits and vegetables are blooming, the Earth is pregnant with seeds sown at Beltane.

Litha is a time of honoring the Lord and the Lady: the Earth Mother Goddess who nourishes us with her rich bountiful fruits, and the Sun Father God – the triumph of thriving light.

Fires lit at this time are especially magical for empowerment, prosperity and protection.  Light two candles – celebrate sacrifice and renewal – the interconnection between light and dark.  This is a time for willpower – use the Sun’s powerful light, the spiritual fire of hope – to be insightful and initiate creative positive changes.

Light one candle to honor the passing of the waxing sun, and one to honor the coming of the waning sun.  Take this time to celebrate families, children and the balance between work and play – absorb the midsummer sunshine into your heart.   

Fire magicks cast at this time are imbued with the Sun’s power of creativity, courage, healing protection, physical strength, love, romance and friendship. Spells to enhance these qualities are made stronger by the long rays of the honorable sun.

* While Northern Hemisphere celebrates Litha, Southern Hemisphere celebrates Yule.

blessed be

WATER
Saturn Rx in Scorpio (direct July 8)
North Node in Scorpio
WATER
Neptune Rx in Pisces (direct Nov 13)
Chiron Rx in Pisces (direct Nov 19)
Water signifies endings & beginnings, compassion, tears, healing, desires, suffering,  nurturing, beliefs and delving deep six – psychic links to the cosmic ALL ONE.
Everybody into the pool !

Time to channel Aquaman. 
Sonar, breathing underwater, telepathy via water, superhuman strength & equilibrium while in flux.
Oh yeah baby, I’m IN.
::::::::::::::

First degrees of…

Toros and Virgos – – opportunities are knocking soon !
First degrees are smoking hot for opening new doors  – – Virgos: global friends, aspirations and teamwork reveal new horizons in learning; Toros: you merge new information, honesty between siblings, neighbors into how you think.  Capricorns will foster a new awareness of how the other feels, think compromise – learn how to bend, activate understanding.

Scorps and Pisces are catching the baton from water to water eyes on the prize, keep a slow, steady hand – – Scorps: go BIG via learning, mentoring (teacher is also student) and exploration, travel is favored; Pisces feel a rush of creative juices, enjoy a second childhood, take a gamble on matters of the heart, leisure pursuits turn lucrative.

Aries and Libra get your game on tense obstacle course ahead – – Aries: home and family takes center stage, channel restlessness into imagination station; Libra: career, status and ambitions force a big step forward, family supports you.

Geminis gain a fresh zen altitude, peace of mind and creativity high; Sagittarians regenerate desires into brand new horizons, fresh starts, rebirth from the ashes.

Leos gain a new enthusiasm for transcendence through art, healing, daydreaming – think inclusive creativity, tap the cosmic source.
Aquarians will have more work than they can shake a stick at (hey, have fun with that I am kissing that shizz na na na na hey hey hey goodbye) personal responsibilities and daily routine becomes a juggle, expand your mind – the rest will follow.

Cancer, y’all have 2 benefics incoming meaning double lucks and happiness come home (literally) to roost, your personal energy vim & vigor goes through the roof, personal philosophies and leadership pave new inroads, compassion towards others and exploring extended family beckons.

Peace

American Made Midas Maven

Margaret Dunning with her 1930 Packard 740 Roadster

WoW.
This lovely lady is amazing !

Margaret has been a gearhead since the age of 8 (when she first drove), she still drives her 82 year old car, she is 102, and she just won a scholarship to go back to school and finish her business degree.  Holy cow – I’ll have what she’s having !  Obviously, she’s got an Aquarian edge somewhere and some good Saturn happening.

She’s a Cancer with Moon in Aquarius.  Uranus in Capricorn with Saturn in Taurus, which I have to admit is what I went looking for, but instead was amazed by her business acumen and stunning money aspects*.  Cancers are known for business, though they are a bit more discreet than Capricorns (their opposite sign), they are on the same wavelength of gather, rinse, repeat.

Her Royal Flush / Midas touch is she is positively oozing Venus, so cool !
* Venus = $$

She is a conservative, cautious but extremely lucky gambler: Mars in Leo on the decan of Sun, square Saturn, but sextile Jupiter
Her Cancer Sun is on the decan of Moon, sextile Toro Saturn – excellent $$ instincts

Margaret has two planets ruling their signs:
Mercury in Gemini
Venus in Taurus*  conjunct North Node of Destiny (benefic)

Jupiter trines both of these planets (out of sign) from the other Venus-ruled house, Libra
Jupiter = BIGGIE SIZE ME in any aspect
Lucky Jupiter is her most highly aspected planet

Check this out: Margaret has 3 planets on the decan of Venus
Mercury
Saturn
Jupiter

Cha – ching  ! *

Factoid: Margaret served on the board of Community Federal Credit Union in Plymouth from 1962 to 1984, and was president of the board for 19 of those years.The assets of the Credit Union increased from $1 million to $40 million during those years.

So the surprise scholarship with free car care products for the gearhead who started driving on a Model T and has lovingly restored a :
– 1931 Ford Model A
– 2003 Cadillac DeVille
– 1906 Model N Ford
– 1930 convertible Cadillac DeVille

Uranus in Capricorn (business degree) on the decan of Mercury (octaves of thinking, learning, intuition) trine Toro Venus which trines Jupiter Libra (free money for going back to school).

Margaret is a real sweetheart, Venus ! * Jupiter ! Cancer Sun !  and has donated much time (see Saturn on Venus), volunteered for the Red Cross, has donated scads of money to her community, helping build a library, a historical museum, and she also runs a private grantmaking foundation.

She’s my new shero !
Cheers Margaret ~

Moon in Leo trine Uranus in Aries.  Sun in Cancer.
aka: Get creative with the mood swings, bob and weave. 

Uranus in gung ho to go Aries is focal point of a T-Square with touchie – feelie Cancer Sun and rigid Capricorn Pluto.  Mercury advances to late Cancer and is awash with angsty mental gymnastics as we hash out Venus and Saturn retro.

Be cranky or be creative ? ! ?
 Libra serves up prime grade A choice once again.  Sun trines Saturn Rx while it opposes Pluto in Cap – no the work is not perfect, just show up and do it anyway, let the chips fall where they may.  Mars in Virgo trines Jupiter in Gemini – keep the dialogue moving and open < ~ > the road is hot !

~ seriously ~ who out there has been able to concentrate lately…?!
Anyone .. ?
My brain pan is snapping, fired up and popping !  No cohesion, just can’t bring it lately (no I am not fishing) my thoughts are scattered and I am feeling the pressure.

Venus Rx steps up to the plate to quincunx Pluto Rx in Cap.  Oy.  Adjustment – always a fun one, growing pains all over the shop : adaptation, improvisation with the past loves and creative juices morphing into our future. Not going fast enough is it…?  (Pluto squares Uranus after all.)   Hang tough.

Are we all getting our messages from the past yet ?  (South Node dovetailing between Venus and Jupes in Gem)

I got mine twice over, nice.  A couple of sweet little biscuits delivered straight to my heart in the middle of the minefield (yes, Venus and Jupiter rule sweet things) to help keep some hope alive. bless xo

Delusion is so last week – now Sunlight shines on Neptuner Rx and that is bringing the insightful goodies, thank the goddess !  It is about time.  May blessings be with you and your insights as well.


Rough week here.  Got in a fight at work today – was actually yelling.
Return of Tentacle Dude, sheesh the fuqers grow BACK.

I need that hermit job, stat !  Where do I sign up ?. lol

Seriously, though – the square tightens – do not engage.
Protections in place.
Lock & Load.

Delusional dilemmas are often so brilliantly deciphered in a sharp one card reading.
Here is mine from the Fairy Ring Tarot.  I actually did a whole spread, but the first card told me all I needed to know right off the bat.

Venus Rx + Neptune Rx.

I have been giving all my head space to Uranus Pluto since they conjunct Sun in my natal, then the universe steps in …pssst… Neptune is your biggie, ya know, and Venus is squashed between the other 2 in progs.  Venus and Neptune don’t vibe well in my natal either, and the screws are turning. 

Neptune and Venus Retro are squaring up now, for all of us.  Luckily they do so in mutables, so we can adapt and change easier.  Venus is nearing Jupes by retrograde as well, and that is beneficial if not more than a little scattered in Gemini. 

Heads up for your messages from the past…just remember Venus stations direct at 7 degrees on the 27th – don’t expect real clarity  until it is out of shadow at 24 degrees of Gemini.

I love Love LOVE Ray’s work.  Own a bunch of it, just watched Jason and the Argonauts again last week.  I have been wanting to look up his astro deets, his stop – motion work is simply incredible. He calls it Dynamation.  I have done claymation films myself, and it takes  f  o  r  e  v  e  r   !   Worth it though, it’s amazing to see the finished product come to life.  SoOo on to the astro:

7. Made it through six whole posts before mentioning STAR WARS.
What took so long..?
Waiting for the spiritual number 7 to roll up.

Okay. Here’s the deal.
STAR WARS CHANGED MY LIFE.

Today I noticed Harrison Ford and I have some similarites….besides being charming rascals.  *wink*
We are both number 9 Life path.  Nines are compassionate humanitarians; dreamers here to serve the world and they are often in the spotlight – like it or not.  Nine is aligned with the planet Neptune and the water triad (Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces).  It is the number of completion, it carries the vibration of all the other numbers before it, and is a literal saturation point.

We are also a Birth Day number 4.  Fours are structured, the squares, conservative, logical.  Fours are aligned with the planet Saturn and the earth triad (Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn).  It is the number of building, organization, crystallization in the physical universe.

I was reading Glynis Has Your Number and I was intrigued by the comment that Harrison seems uncomfortable during interviews because 4/9 are numbers at odds with each other.  I have seen Harrisons chart before and remember noting that he seems very shy considering he has a chart with every single planet above the horizon.  Many planets above the horizon is indicative of extroversion, so what gives..?  First thing I am thinking is..’how’s that Neptune doin’ ?’

So first off, Neptune most highly aspected (private/ hidden), four planets in Cancer (private), including Mercury the talker (silent type here).  He most probably thinks he should (square- inner conflict) be talking more (Mercury- thinks, talks) about his films (Neptune is film) but revealing personal stuff is not for him.   So the extrovert placements of planets above the horizon is offset by the Cardinal Water chart.
