May I introduce Sir Ian McKellen. 

Sir Ian Murray McKellen, CH, CBE *  is an English actor. He has won multiple Laurence Olivier Awards, a Tony Award, two Academy Award nominations, and five Emmy Award nominations. His work has spanned genres from Shakespearean and modern theatre to popular fantasy and science fiction. He is known for film roles such as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings  film trilogy, Magneto in the X-Men  films, and as Sir Leigh Teabing in The Da Vinci Code.

McKellen was made a * Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1979, was knighted in 1991 for services to the performing arts,and was made a * Companion of Honour for services to drama and to equality, in the 2008 New Year Honours. (wiki)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will start by saying Sir Ian is so sweet and kind, with a Gemini twinkle in his eye, quite a lovely flirt, really.  He’s fabulous — so fabulous I named my singing toad after him.  Yes, I knighted my toad !  Sir Toadie was recorded in one of the most acoustically perfect halls in the country. true story.  I knew when eclipse toad showed up good things were coming … Sir Ian is a May 25th Gemini, so I am writing & posting tonight – he is in the future in New Zealand and I want this up for his solar return YaY !

Gandalf and  Magneto and a Knight
Seriously !
How cool is That ?!

* Happy Birthday Sir Ian ! * 

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

Look how cool !
A moth showed up, right on time.
Precisely when he meant to..!

When times grew desperate, Gandalf contacted Gwaihir, Lord of the Eagles, by means of a small moth. It was Radagast the Brown who told the eagles that Gandalf had visited with Saruman in the books; in the movie, Gandalf is seen speaking with the moth.  (LotR wiki)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moth totem: sensitivity to vibrations, awareness, transition and metamorphosis.  Lunar light and instinctual adjusting of the course, allure in love, camouflage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ian is a Gemini Sun, Virgo Moon, Sagittarius rising, making Jupiter his chart ruler.
  Aries Jupiter (is Mars powered) is in the 3rd (communication) house trine 29 degree (culmination degree) Pluto in Cancer, 8th house. Pluto (inner energy, transformative experiences) rules the 8th, is strong, yet fluctuating (Moon ruled house, opposite Mars).

Gemini Sun trines Mars in Aquarius, making Ian a revolutionary (Aquarius) communicator through art and film (Mars trine Neptune at mid-heaven).

Pluto and Mars (Mars is most highly aspected, strong) both square Venus in Taurus, and are opposite each other, which forms a T-Square with Venus as the focal planet.  Venus, the planet of art, love and money is strong in Taurus, the sign it rules.  Venus as focal planet, means it will be forced to metamorph the very powerful energies of Mars and Pluto into artwork, beauty and works of love.

Pluto points to a strong desire nature with opposition to Mars (outward bound energies) in Aquarius, as well as the square (inner tension) to Venus in possessive Taurus.  Pluto in the last degree of Moon-ruled Cancer is a nod to the metamorphic effect Ian has on the public (Moon rules public), through his natural ability to teach and lead by example (Virgo 9th house) through the arts (Neptune [rules film, inspired art] at mid-heaven) and film.

I find it interesting that outward bound Mars is in a sign of polarities (Aquarius), Plutonian inner power is fluctuating in Cancer, and Ian has Mercury (dual perceptions) conjunct Uranus (polarities, magnetics) in artistic Taurus.  Ian is very adept at seeing both sides of any given situation.  He uses this instinctual observation, this intuitive sense (Taurus rules the senses) of dualities to in turn enrich his portrayal of character.

He feels and senses the depth and rich undertones (Pluto Cancer 8 / Venus, Uranus, Mercury in creative 5th house) in humanity and conveys them through artistic means.
(Stellium in creative 5th house/ Mercury conj Uranus trine Neptune at mid-heaven.)

Moon is conjunct Part of Fortune in duty bound Virgo; both trine Saturn in Aries and Venus in Taurus.  Long term (Saturn rules time and work) artistic career (Venus) in the public eye (Moon).

Ian has Mercury quintile (special talents) Pluto, making him a powerfully magnetic ( ! ) communicator, capable of captivating the public (Pluto in moon-ruled Cancer).

He also has Saturn and Neptune quintile Chiron, meaning his work is a powerful healing force to help others.

Ian has one planet retrograde, Neptune – which indicates his work and career in the arts will continue to flourish as he ages.  Retrogrades signify planetary energies that are expressed inwardly while young, until an outside event forces them to be expressed outwardly when older.  At which time, the energy is focused, channeled, and better directed in life.

May I introduce singer, songwriter, poet and actor John Doe.
He has appeared in over 50 films and television productions, with some of his most notable roles in Road House, Georgia, Roadside Prophets, Great Balls of Fire, Pure Country and Roswell.  Long list here.

He founded the LA punk band X, soon after he met Exene Cervenka at the Venice, California poetry workshop in 1976.  X released 7 records from 78-93, the documentary of the life of their band The Unheard Music  was included in the Sundance UCLA Archive of greatest films of all time.  X is still actively touring today – they open for Pearl Jam in June in Europe.

John has recorded more than a half dozen albums as a soloist or in collaboration with other artists, such as Patti Griffin, Aimee Mann, Eddie Vedder and many more.  The video above features Cindy Wasserman and Dave Carpenter.  I am pleased to tell you a bit about the astro behind this amazingly talented man.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John is a life path 1, this is a life of innovation, vital potential, he is a creative pioneer.

John is a Pisces Sun, conjunct an exact conjunction of Venus and Mercury, also in Pisces.  Pisces are compassionate and artistic, they see the depth of human nature and are sensitive to the environment, the vibrations of the people and places around them. Venus is exalted in Pisces – conjunct Mercury, making the communication of inspired creations prominent in his life.

Sun is the creative force, the house that ‘shines’ in the natal.  John’s Sun squares (internal tension) the houses of the lower (learning thinking) and higher (philosophies and ethics) mind, giving him the urge to manifest creations from what he thinks and sees – the creative outlets release this inner (square) tension.

Venus is not only exalted, but also in mutual reception with Neptune in Libra.  This creates an easier expression between the energies and houses – they are in the sign the other rules, so they ‘get each other’ and can work well as a team.

Venus is cultivated artistry, Neptune is the higher octave, inspired artistry.  Neptune rules poetry, film and stringed instruments, and is trine (easy energy) with Jupiter in Gemini – Jupiter expands and Gemini communicates through thought and word.  Gemini Jupiter is opposite Sagittarius Moon / Mars conjunction making John a wordsmith.


Mars conjunct Moon gives the feelings (Moon) a kick start energy expression – though the moon fluctuates by nature- this energy may come and go in waves with the cycles of the Moon.  Mars fires up the emotions, this aspect can be a spitfire, half-cocked, impulsive type of energy, with the emotions leading rather than the mind.  This aspect is best relieved by physical labor or creative pursuits.

John soaks up (Pisces feels the vibes) all he SEES  (Sagittarius motto) and feels (Moon) while he travels (Moon and Mars in Sag) near and far…everything is an opportunity to create beauty through words, music and film.

This Pisces conjunction squares John’s Moon / Mars conjunction in Sagittarius; it also squares Jupiter in Gemini which oppose each other, forming a t-square with Venus as the focal planet.  The focal planet becomes the driving energy that needs expressing, it is where the T-square aspect feels the most tension.

Artistic Venus also is trine Saturn in Scorpio and Uranus in Cancer.  Saturn in Scorpio is a powerful placement for achieving deep seated goals that require patience and endurance.  It can easily be crafted into punk, it is an aspect of USING (Capricorn motto – Saturn rules) DESIRES (Scorpio motto) to create art. (Saturn trine Pisces Sun and Venus / Mercury).

Uranus in Moon-ruled Cancer gives an unusual approach to expressing feelings and creating art – instantaneous inspirations are often rising up from the subconscious, giving insight, directions in creativity.

Libra Neptune is trine Gemini Jupiter, again the expansion of ideas and communicating them in easy energy to brainstorming artwork and finding personal balance through expressing the creative self.

John has 5 retrograde planets: Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.  These planetary energies will express themselves inwardly until an event in the outer world forces the energy to express outwardly.  As the energies begin to express outwardly, they will be a driving force, leading to growth as an artist and communicator.

John has North Node of Destiny conjunct Chiron in Capricorn.  The path to healing (Chiron) will come through patient, long-term work efforts, a life-long love of learning, exploring, and finding new approaches to creative work.  Defining the best USE of his creative gifts and conveying the richness of human experience (Scorpio) will guide him on the path to success.

Thanks for the music~

May I introduce England’s most versatile actor, Mr. Sean Bean.  He holds a stellar career spanning every medium for approximately 20 years, in theater, radio, television and movies.  (IMDb) 

Sean is an Aries Sun, Leo Moon with North Node of Destiny in Libra.  Sun is exalted in Aries, the sign led by Mars the warrior.  Sun flavored by Mars brings great physical strength and enthusiasm to lead and achieve.  Fire Sun and Moon makes for a passionate man of action and inspiration.  Sean is a life path 9, this is a life of completion, attainment, wisdom and mysticism.

Sun opposing Neptune in Scorpio may bring disillusionment, through self (Sun) or others (opposition), slowed momentum or detours in life may come through strong desires and misplaced energies of this aspect. (Neptune in Scorpio: Pluto ruler of Scorpio most highly aspected; Pluto focal point of T-Square: Neptune square Moon/Uranus conjunction).  Working in film (Neptune rules) makes this placement easier as the energies of the ‘other’ via Neptune (inspired art) can be brought to life (Sun) and the vast creative imagination (Moon conjunct Uranus in Leo) unfurled to the highest good.

Virgo Pluto as most highly aspected planet, makes Sean a powerhouse of transformation – particularly trine Saturn, (long-term work and career, * see comments for death scenes – Pluto rules death) and trine the Sun which signals great intensity and ability to focus and research each role.  Not only will Sean lead a life of many changes, he will also serve as a catalyst for those he meets.

Pluto brings an intensity and drive to plumb the depths of the inner wellspring of personal power.  People with strong Pluto placements dig into the psyche like a porterhouse steak, it is an instinctual need to probe and penetrate the mysteries.  He chooses political thrillers, warriors, heroes that are meaty roles so he can have more fun fleshing out the richness of the character.  Pluto rules the underworld – think crime, mafia, secret government spies, etc.. Sean naturally gravitates towards these roles.

Mercury in Aries brings impatience to thinking and communicating with others, especially with a trine to clairvoyant Uranus conjunct intuitive Moon in Leo.  He’s a step ahead, a quick study who gets bored quickly with inessentials.  (Mercury speech square -inner tension- restrictive Capricorn Saturn Rx, and square Mars action.)  Though he may not speak of this impatience, he is likely quiet, but his mind (Mercury) is Mars-ruled and prefers to keep ideas and energy moving, he’s thinking plenty, but keeping it to himself.

Mars on a fluctuating water house (fluctuating Moon rules Cancer) swings from action to inaction, it tends to keep the lid on…simmering…to a boil.  Mars wants to express outwardly and Cancer wants to draw inward – the energies are at odds and it can indicate moodiness.  This aspect is also well channelled through film (Mars trine Neptune) and indicates an intuition about people – Mars in Cancer can tap this and employ it while emoting on camera.

Mercury is focal point (in a T-Square) square both Mars and Saturn Rx (Mars and Saturn Rx are opposite -in compromise- with each other). This creates an inner obstacle in communications involving instinctive actions and work.  Squares are more powerful than trines once we solve them because they are the whetstone on the blade – we sharpen our senses through repeated friction.

Mercury is the interpreter, and in Sean’s chart, it trines both expansive Jupiter in Sagittarius, and the powerful Uranus Moon conjunction in creative Leo.  Likely honing down the possibilities of each role, and fine tuning the potentials into the ‘set in stone’ final product is what he finds both difficult and yet highly rewarding.  Creative Venus in Gemini sees the dualities of every role and the opportunities (sextile Mercury) available, it is the choosing (Venus and Uranus rule choice) that proves difficult with fluctuating Moon in the house of artistic Leo conjunct Uranus (polarities).

Moon (emotions, women) conjunct Uranus (rebel, eccentric) in Leo brings not only enormous reserves of innovative creative WILL power (Leo motto : I Will.) but also uncanny intuitiveness, particularly surrounding females and the public (Moon rules).  They trine Mercury so smart, communicative females are likely among his close friends.  Uranus needs freedom and feelings can grow stale unless there are mental gymnastics at play.  Mercury in Aries likes to keep moving, so stimulating conversation is a must with all people he meets.

The downside of this conjunction is the possibility of frequent sudden unexpected emotional upsets.  Uranus is the unpredictable planet of change and innovation and it is tied up with Moon (feelings, women, home).  There will be fluctuation (Moon) and polarities can change regarding where the ‘heart’ (Leo rules) is placed in an instant.  To best use this energy (Uranus rules the electrical body) watch the lunar and solar cycles (flares, etc..) for mood (Moon) changes and channel the creativity of this aspect into artistic pursuits.  Find a way to get your zen on.  Sports (fire Sun and Moon), travel, exploring, and also reading as Jupiter trine Mercury makes for an eternal student, with a need for enriching experiences and new ideas.

Also, Uranus rules flight, Moon fluctuation.  This square (inner tension) from the house of Leo (ruled by Sun, life) to Neptune in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto, death) explains the reticence to fly.

Pluto is focal point of a T-Square – it squares Venus and Jupiter (Venus and Jupiter oppose each other).  Pluto wants the power in any relationship – squared up with Venus, power in romantic relationships.  Venus in Gemini is clever, versatile, observant and scatters ideas and energies.  Jupiter ruling Sagittarius is a strong placement bringing grandiose ideals and philosophies it is the placement of the higher mind, it is also expansive and scatters ideals and philosophies.  Virgo Pluto is going to want tight control over that Gemini Venus and Jupiter in Sagittarius – these energies are not naturally restrictive, so this aspect will need work to find balance.

Pluto in Virgo analyzes (Virgo motto: I analyze) everything (particularly true as Pluto is the most highly aspected planet) in life and wants to dig deep and improve: health, love, self, work, you name it.  Pluto the planet of transformation, death and rebirth is steeping in a Mercury ruled house, as is Venus (Mercury rules Gemini).  That indicates thinking and communication of all kinds regarding love, money and partnerships and details regarding them are being transformed by contact with Pluto.  Jupiter in Sagittarius is the expansive mind  the learning and teaching of life on a broader philosophic scale.  These three planets involved in a T-Square indicates a need to be as the eye of the storm – a stillness, a of peace of mind – within the turmoil of life changes.  Jupiter expands what it contacts, it does throw a beneficial influence, but it also indicates a need for caution when in square (inner tension) to Plutonian power.

Pluto opposes Chiron the wounded healer in Aquarius, the sign of curiosity and eccentrics, the sign of futuristic forward thinking.  Chiron placed here wants inventive ways of healing and learning, but in opposition (compromise with others) to Pluto, this placement can indicate revolutionary changes to ways of thinking (Pluto in Mercury – ruled Virgo), feeling (Uranus, rules Aquarius conjunct Moon in Leo) and knocks to the ego through the deeds of others.  Pluto in this aspect indicates a need to relinquish the desire to use personal power over others and instead channel that same vast inner power of Pluto for control over the self.  In this way, healing of self and others can be reached as a partnership, as a team.

North Node of Destiny in Venus – ruled Libra accentuates a creative direction in life and working with the creative opportunities inherent in the difficult Moon / Uranus conjunction (North Node sextiles both).  Sean has five retrograde planets (tendency to be solitary) which indicates an internal expression of the planetary energies until life circumstances force the planetary energies to be expressed outwardly. (more Rx info here)  They are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto: the social and outer transpersonal planets.  Basically having retrogrades means you will work harder to get a handle on things – as you get older you will – then you will truly be a force to be reckoned with because you are so practiced at expressing the energies you have pondered for so long.

Quickie outlook: Currently work and relationships are getting an overhaul, transiting Pluto Rx is nearing Sean’s 7 degree natal Saturn Rx in Capricorn, bringing a re-structuring of work and career, and perhaps an authority figure (natal Sun opposite transiting Saturn) will force a career change (Pluto is transformative, change and rebirth) for the better. All the best, Sean…

moon meditation

Posted on by

While mowing and meditating I was mulling over moons… and Carly Simon.

She has long spoken of being uncomfortable in the spotlight. (click)  Moon rules the public, so I looked up her chart…basically, she has a T-square of shyness that includes moon.

Carly is a Cancer Sun stellium, Mercury, Saturn, North Node of Destiny – opposite  Moon in Capricorn.  Cancer rules the Moon, home, the comfort zone (the 4th house well of psyche), Capricorn rules the career in front of everyone (10th house high noon – the spotlight).  Oppositions signal the juggling of energies that are not alike.

The focal point of her T-square is Libra Neptune.  Libra also rules dealings with others, and Neptune hides.

She really has to work up the guts (Moon rules the stomach) to step out of her Cancer shell, and with Pluto the transformer in Leo, the sign of the stage ~ she generates the inner energy to do it…but like all things Pluto it is not easy.

so on to void moons…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A void moon is traditionally a time for meditation and quiet, I treat it like a dark moon – a time to retreat and regroup in the comfort zone.

Void moons occur when the moon isn’t making aspects to any other planets before leaving the sign it’s in.

It is adrift at sea, so to speak – no anchor with other energies. Moon fluctuates anyway, in a void phase we go  f a r   o u t . . .
Subconscious drives kick in ~ the public is adrift as well.

You read earlier that Libra also rules dealings with others, the public strangers (not weird Uranus strangers, just people you don’t know).  Libra is Venus ruled.

Venus rules $$$, love and social stuff….so void moons are times of pondering these things with the self more so than taking action with the other.
First house Mars / Aries the outward bound self – juggles with – the more retiring, attracting 7th house other Venus / Libra.
Void moons are times of contemplation and hoarding (Taurus) the emotions… shhhh… keep it close to the vest sort of thing.

That is why it is not a good idea to initiate actions publicly under a void moon ~ social stuff is adrift. If you are working on something you have already started, hunkering down and finishing quietly, I don’t see a problem – otherwise, it is best to wait.

Meditate, go inside, pull cards and do divination for yourself, seek internal guidance and give your subconscious instincts the reins.

Good time for girl power and clannish gatherings with people you know..?  The answer is yes for me…for you…?…  I leave that to you.  A couple of close galpals in the den sounds great, a dinner party becomes a group and is less so.  Think tribal moontime girl stuff…go to the cave and cook with fire.

Creativity is deep and from the well – take the darkest moon and go deeper and darker into the void.

Publicly…no one is listening ~ no one hears you from inside the well, ya know….?

Everyone is in their OWN WELL and gazing into their OWN NAVEL.

Moon is Mother, water, wells and amniotic fluid.
Venus rules Navels.

Can you feel this void moon..?…it is pregnant with possibilities…
cool, yeah..?

…from behind the veil…

Centaur – AnHellica

Recent events have turned my focus on Chiron in the natal chart.

The chart for the time Chiron was discovered (October 18,1977) reveals a conjunction between the Moon’s North Node and Pluto in Libra (14 degrees) and also a conjunction between Mercury and Sun in Libra (24 degrees).
Venus is also placed in Libra (1 degree) which it rules. Chiron’s placement is in Taurus (3 degrees) which, like Libra, is ruled by Venus.  source
 
In greek mythology, Chiron was the son of Kronos (Saturn/ time) and Philyra (nymph daughter of Oceanus) who was abandoned at birth by his parents.  Apollo (God of the Sun) became Chiron’s foster father, teaching him how to cultivate the creative spirit through music, divination, and the healing arts. 

Chiron became mentor to many Greek heroes including Jason, Achilles and Hercules teaching them archery, ethics, and herbal medicine. Chiron was accidentally shot by one of Hercules’ poisoned arrows.  Being a demi-god who could not die, he searched endlessly for a cure – accumulating vast knowledge in the healing arts in his search.  

In a final bid to relieve his endless suffering, Chiron ends his life by exchanging places with Prometheus, who was chained to a rock and tortured for delivering fire to humans. Chiron was later immortalized in the constellation Centaurus.  Chiron is known as the wounded healer.  In the natal chart Chiron indicates where you suffer, but also where you heal through service to others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cen  means center of a circle (Earth), Taur  means Taurus, the bull.
The circle  or spiritual sun = LOVE (Venus rules Taurus).
For God so loved the world…

Planetoid Chiron was discovered in between Saturn (time/ authority) and Uranus (rebellion/ freedom) and points to unconventional progress through finding union and workable solutions between seemingly disparate goals.

When reading Chiron in the natal, focus on this:
USE what you KNOW you HAVE to find BALANCE.
(Saturn, Uranus, Venus rules Taurus and Libra.)

Consider Chiron the energy bridge between the tools (Saturn) and divine intuition (Uranus).  It is preparation meets opportunity.  Chiron is the hopeful (Centaurian) risk – the gamble on love, harmony and union – faith in spiritual balance on the highest level. (Saturn is exalted in Libra)

If we USE Chiron’s vibration properly – the highest vibration of personal love (Venus  rules personal love) transcends into Neptune, DIVINE love, and healing of the spirit body which is eternal.

Energy is energy ~> conduit <~ the healer is also healed.

The vibration of Chiron is peace of mind in the physical Taurean body, and love and balance in the intellectual actions and relations with others – Venus.
Venus shares.  Venus pays it forward.
The centaur Chiron (like Sagittarius) expands the horizons, forms new philosophies and is both teacher and eternal student. Chiron is a wandering maverick, a loner who brings an awakening to – and a bridge between opposites.


Chiron the Centaur – Bloommer

Did you feel a Chronic shift lately…?

Venus in Gemini was the focal point of the recent T-Square, which also involved Mars Rx in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces. Venus (exalted in Pisces) was activating Neptune (which is conjunct Chiron in Pisces), soOo Earthkind received a massive influx of Venusian Full Moon Chironic energies the last few days straight from Chiron’s 8th house – enter Plutonic regeneration !   Yowsa ! 
Full Moon brings information and the days directly afterward bring dispersal of full moon knowledge…

My Chiron is in late Pisces. Gemini is not a big player in my chart, but Mercury is.
Virgo stellium and my biggie Neptune square to Venus/Jupiter were also tapped in the last few days. I have felt a very interesting vibe since the moon was full to say the least.  a cha cha

Look to Chiron in your natal and see what rules that house. Where is that planet and what it is aspecting ? That’s your KEY to HEALING.

Clues: Is it in fire, earth, air or water ? Is your KEY cardinal, fixed or mutable ?

Look also to Venus for what you HAVE that will bring BALANCE. 

Look to Saturn, where it lives and what it aspects to find your TOOLS and how to USE them. 

Look to Uranus for the REVOLUTIONARY SOLUTION.

Remember that squares are internal hurdles to healing.  Oppositions are where you have to compromise with others.  Trines and sextiles are your way out – the support group, so to speak.  Trines are an easy pre-existing energy – but you have to activate it.  Sextiles are opportunities you have to go fetch – you have to introduce the planets to each other in order to establish an energetic relationship between them.

Jo is radiant  in the photo above, yes ?

Lovely, generous Leo Jo Rowling, is no longer in the Forbes billionaire club.
It is estimated she has given $160 million to charities, supporting organizations linked to poverty, multiple sclerosis (her mother suffered from MS), children’s welfare and illiteracy.  She has written 3 books that have raised almost $30 million for charities as well.

Hi qi Leos (Sun rules) positively radiate  warmth, charisma, and generosity.
They are creative and friendly with a kind heart  (Leo rules).

Jo is obviously brilliantly creative, and I had to have a look at her chart.
This is a solar chart, so the planets in signs are correct, the houses may likely change.

Jo is a life path 5, which represents change, freedom and artistic expression.


Mega Virgo stellium !
A giant rolling conjunction: Moon, Pluto, Uranus, Venus all in Virgo; Mercury conjunct at 29 (culmination degree) Leo.  I am soOo not surprised by the extensive notes and outlines she wrote in preparation for the Harry Potter series. Virgos love their   organization and notes !  I would love to see them, wouldn’t you..?

The whole series of books is so rich with vivid detail and imagination brought to life in the written word.  She has Saturn Rx the planet of weaving and building in the sign of Pisces the mystical, inspired artist opposite all of the above except Mercury – although,  I’m calling it opposite by transference of light.

Saturn is also conjunct Chiron the philosopher, teacher and healer.  Interesting as Jupiter is oriental in her chart bringing a life of exploration, foreign travels, and higher education into sharp focus ( Yes, I just called Jupiter in Gemini focused.) especially with the addition of North Node of Destiny present in Gemini as well.

Jupiter is the focal point of a massive T- Square involving Saturn – Moon, Pluto, and Uranus opposite.  Jupiter in Gemini is hopeful, expansive with a love of grandiose ideas, reading, writing – basically communicating in some form or fashion 24/7.
It is a high-octane mentally alert and cerebrally dexterous house on steroids that loves to explore the universe for new ideas.  I can only imagine the difficulty she experienced reining in all the nebulous Pisces and distractions of Gemini to create works that have sold over 400 million copies and are the world’s best selling series of books.

Jupiter rules teachers and universities (I always saw Hogwarts as a university, I don’t care how old Harry, Hermione and Ron were, that’s how I imagined it.) and think of how many kids picked up the books to read. Even kids that really didn’t like to read were reading them. That’s amazingly cool.  J.K. Rowling is a teacher of wizards and witches the world over.

Her Sun square Neptune in Scorpio (loss of will, hope), and Saturn in opposition to all that Mercury-ruled Virgo have been troublesome for her.  Moon conjunct Pluto and Jo lost her mother just as she began writing about Harry, her mother never knew of her success.  Jo has suffered from debilitating depression, and contemplated suicide, a condition which inspired the soul-sucking dementors.  How sad when the Leo light dims…read her story (from wiki) below:

Seven years after graduating from university, Rowling saw herself as “the biggest failure I knew.” Her marriage had failed, she was jobless with a dependent child, but she described her failure as liberating:

Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy to finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one area where I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter, and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
– Harvard commencement address, 2008.

When Jo began to work her Mars in Venus (art) ruled Libra trine Jupiter, as well as Saturn trine Neptune in Scorpio – it alleviated the stress of the oppositions and squares in her chart.  Her Neptune (imagination) is sextile Moon, Uranus and Pluto in Mercury ruled (writing) Virgo.  She also has a lovely Venus quintile Neptune which is a special talent for expressing the Scorpionic mystical arts through writing.

Thank you Jo, for hanging in there and gifting us your brilliant world of magic ~

Ps.  I vote Capricorn rising.  You ?

Deja Vu

Posted on by

I have been aware of David Wilcock for years, through Coast-to-Coast radio and information and interviews there.  I have watched many YouTube videos, read parts of his website Divine Cosmos.
I am now reading his book, The Source Field Investigations.  David has spent years investigating and compiling scientific proof of connections between life forms through the energetic ‘source field’ or unified field theory.

A bit of history : Albert Einstein coined the term “Unified Field Theory,” which describes any attempt to unify the fundamental forces of physics between elementary particles into a single theoretical framework.

Scientists such as Rupert Sheldrake are delving into, and expanding upon similar scientific work today. The topic of morphic resonance (Sheldrakes work) is covered in David’s compilation of researched material, as well as some fascinating studies on human interaction with plants, crop circles, UFO’s and remote viewing.  It is definitely worth a read simply because David has gathered loads of spiritual scientific studies all in one book.

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

Reportedly David may be the re-incarnation of Edgar Cayce.  I do not support nor deny this claim – you can make up your own mind.  I am a disseminating moon – just tossing out the info – that’s what I do.  Other astrologers have compared the two charts and you can read my interpretation of Edgars natal here.

So now for David and his natal chart.

David is a life path 4.  He is here to employ logic and reason in order to build solid foundations, establish structure and achieve results on the physical plane.

This is further indicated by Mars exalted in Earth, trine Moon, also exalted in earth.
This indicates detailed, long-term, meticulous building for the public good.  Moon in 6th (natural ruler of the 6th, is Virgo the public servant).

Mars exalted conjunct North Node of Destiny in Capricorn, both of which are trine Moon (public).  His work is to be heard by and benefit, many people.

David is a Pisces Sun, Venus (Venus is exalted in Pisces) and Mercury.
This indicates sensitivity, also indicated by Moon in Taurus, exalted.
Pluto is elevated (10th), as well as Uranus and Saturn (above the horizon) – he is here to transform, and make changes through his work, otherwise, he is fairly private.

Venus is the focal point of his T-Square with Saturn and Neptune opposite each other.  Working globally for universal love and compassion will likely be his strength rather than working for it on a personal basis.  Venus is personal love – square work and mysticism – Saturn in Gemini 7th, indicates work relationships and often 2 or more jobs. He is a busy fellow, who likes work and study.

Chart ruler, Pluto in Libra 10 conjunct Part of Fortune he is a catalyst for change, particularly focusing on communication with others.  Mercury is quintile North Node of Destiny – Jupiter the planet of exploration and expansion (traditional ruler of Pisces) is in Aquarius (the revolutionary) quintile Ascendant and Chiron – healing on a vast scale through transforming the way people think and communicate with one another.

Saturn in Gemini again, gives depth and structure to communication – David invites us to open our minds and heal ourselves through using the creative will of our own actions (Neptune trine Chiron).  He is a leader in the spiritual realm – seeking enlightenment, and compassionate inclusiveness between all beings.

Well, now that I have read Davids chart, I am seeing the possibilities of the past life connections with Edgar.  Edgar had Mars and Jupiter conjunct in Capricorn – he basically did so many one-on-one energy draining readings, he worked himself to death.

In Davids chart, Pluto trine Jupiter indicates transformation on a large scale (rather than on an individual basis).  He gets a lot of criticism (Pluto opposite Mercury) because he’s shaking the tree, making people think (Mercury sextile Jupiter in 3rd).

Saturn trine Uranus in the 11th of Libra, he is communicating options – a way of revolutionizing the way we (earthkind) express and view love for each other and the earth (Venus sextile Moon exalted in earthy Taurus, Venus rules Libra) and he delivers the science (Uranus trine Saturn) to back it up.

Mars exalted in Earth trine Moon, also exalted in earth –  detailed, long-term, meticulous building for the public good.  Moon in 6th (natural ruler of the 6th, is Virgo the public servant).

Now that I have read both charts, I think David may be Edgar, back for another round…if so, he’s certainly here to work in communications large scale and reach a larger audience this time around.
I am also off to read more closely the link I gave above comparing the 2 charts – I held off until I had read them myself.
What do you think …?
