Quickie read re:
Leo Full Moon opp Aqua Sun both square Saturn
Uranus square Pluto, Merc Rx in Aquarius

Crazy busy at work, straight to the pt !

Intent: surprise insight/clarity that delivers path to highest good for all

Tepi-Aui-Un : Family of the 8 Primordials.  The original androgynes, duality perfected, continuous creation.  They are the ancient “what is above” formation of matter rather than the dissolution of matter found in “so below”.  The first Alchemical family rising from the primordial ooze.

Kekiu : Obscurity
From fire in the darkness, light is created – one cannot exist with out the other.
Obscurity immediately transformed, RISE UP, the time immediately before dawn breaks.
The scarab and frog represent metamorphosis, transformation.  The cup, or grail holds tantric soma, the elixir of life – it is the color blue for Venus.
Kekiu is light; Kekiut is dark – they are the space between day and night.
Air and akin to the suit of swords.

Their number is 5.

Immediate transformation of your situation, light shed on a perplexing problem.
The End of Obscurity.

Wednesday
Moon into Leo 1:15pm
Mercury Rx into Aquarius 9:30pm CST, USA

Blue Jay as totem indicates reassessing natural gifts, boldly using creativity to further yourself via personal power.  Jay is derived from the latin word for gaia/gaea or Mother Earth.  A member of the crow family, jay is bold, fearless and tricky.  Jay also warns of imbalance, teaches adaptation to changing circumstances.

Mercury Rx moves into Aquarius to meet Sun prior to Full Leo Moon Friday. Saturn is focal point of a T-Square with Sun (soon, Merc Rx) and Moon which in turn oppose each other.  (Full Moons are always opposite Sun.)

Saturn is: Past, work, authority, fathers, body, bones, knees – while in Scorpio, restructuring, regeneration, renewal, inner energy – in tandem with all the above.
Leo Aquarius axis: heart/ electrical or nerves, pride/detachment, romance/breakups,  creative play/think tank. 

I have already heard from a man from my past who had an altercation at work, needed to cool down.  As for myself, it is my body that is causing issues.  I still have two purple bruises from when my chair exploded, my right foot is sprained (? still swollen.) and I am getting over a bug.  Earlier this weekend, iTunes uninstalled itself, the app that tapes calls did not work properly, a post I had up here completely vanished (after several mishaps & errors) so I abandoned that to cook lunch, only to find – for the completely random – my coffee pot will now inexplicably only brew 4 tiny cups at a go. 

Saturn is also patience, probably ought to mention that. heh. 
Patience with yourself, your body, the poltergeists in the machinery, any and all situations, really. 
If Merc Rx is not going smoothly in one sitch, leave it and do something else.  Getting irritated just sends Aquarius (and Mars in late Libra, a fit start placement) more funky wadded up energies.  Deep breathing and busy hands will untie the knots/nots.

Find what house Leo lands on in your chart to see where your illumination is incoming.
Find your house of Scorpio for where you are mainlining internal growth. 
Short list house info here – otherwise, see dropdown menu.

Wondering what is in store for Cats and Birds with FM & Merc Rx ?
Cats are Leo; Aquarius are birds.
I asked The Wild Unknown deck, since my ? involves critters.

bird&kc FM
Impatience, skittishness, less surefooted, magnetics and honing/homing tweaked,
traveling farther seeking changes, new experiences while light shines above.

Interesting a horn aka: Saturn card shows up !

Old injuries, aching bones, shedding past issues.
Surprises, freedom.  Cycles or groups of five/six.

Intent: highest outcome, brilliant insights
1 Left card: Venus Rx energies –Venus Rx interp here
2 Right card: Venus as she approaches Pluto in Cap
3 Bottom card popped out: special message of import !

1 Hidden world of secrets, knowledge and wisdom – power of sexuality, traditionally feminine roles (mother, wife) transmuted into seeking power through the divine. Occult mysteries are brought to light with this retrograde through the sign of the mystical sea goat.
Shades and signs of the moon guide intuition rightly when we are attuned to the natural world around us.

2 Power to use (Pluto/Capricorn) all elements (fire, earth, air, water, ether) to turn the tide of your life via intent and practical magick.  Everything you require is within your grasp, you need only work with the energies wisely.  Use your will to weave the energies warp and weft – strengthen yourself and your world.  Focus, meditate, apply wisdom.

3 Vigilance, spying, watching.  (Particularly totem animals, birds + young people.)   Quick minds see all, studious undertakings, writing, communicating (particularly singing) when called for.

brakes & breaks

Flashpoint insights for all
Left card leading up to Full Moon in Cancer – full moon interp here
Right card – energies culminating
Spirit card aka crux of sitch below

1 She’s horned -balance sought between Aries Uranus and heavy Capricorn energy. Capricorn Venus Rx 22 nearly on Sun 19, Pluto 11 – Mercury ready to blaze out into Aquarius in 4 days.
Thoughts are heavy, balance is key.
Saturn rules brakes; Venus, balance.

Disks represented [that ironically keep the eyes closed after death] are the Sun looking out and Moon looking in.  Capricorn/Saturn is the veil of flesh that contains us separated from others, individuals unto ourselves.  Coin Athena (Sun) is wise, looking out; Coin Moon, Janus (god of doorways) looks into the great subconscious pit, the cave within.  Odin is also represented – the shaman, the oracle bringer hanging upside down from the world tree to obtain enlightenment – seeing both worlds, he gained insight, created Runes, lost an eye.

Balance of payment – very 2 pents as we grow towards full moon.
Check what house Cancer lands in for you – insights forthcoming !

Also consider a breakdown is likely before a breakthrough, via Saturn/Pluto/Uranus.
Trust the process – this is not a singular event, rather a series of growth events.
Capricorn gives us pause, we brake, slow to work “it” out.
Just keep swimming, climbing…

2 Ravens, Huginn and Muninn were the eyes of Odin – they would fly into the world and return with news – their names mean thought, memory.  Memory is Moon, Full Cancer Moon especially so, the house of the womb and the tomb.  Family tree with roots that go deep into the earth, the past – branches that climb high into the future sky.
aka: Capricorn Cancer axis.  Sword queen is deftly communicating, thinking in all realms – (over thinking, perhaps) –  she is the tough loner with a curious mind, brilliant wit & sharp tongue to match.

This lunation is a thinking, feeling, value shifting culling moon.

Full Moon will see Cancer Moon opposite Capricorn Sun – what have/are we accomplishing in our part of history ?  What is our puzzle piece and where do we fit in ? We are thinking it over – feeling it over as well – our slow return to balance.

Full moon reveals.

Spirit card
Thoughts and feelings we project into the world are our sailing ships…being calm, supportive of ourselves and others will bring the highest return for all of us.
A message of love from someone who has your back.

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.

postscript – How about that accidental Harry Potter reference ?! *  groovy

Strange cards to pull for what are we leaving behind with the Scorpio Eclipse.
Pulled these just before I read there has been a quake off the coast of Japan.
Eclipse in water sign of Scorpio – this is known to happen at times.
Typically, water sign eclipses are associated with water events, but since Pluto (in Cap) is Lord of the upcoming Scorp Eclipse while in mutual reception with Saturn (in Scorp), an earth/water event.
