Sun in Scorpio joins Saturn, North Node of Destiny and Mercury Rx.

Rebirth is imminent, particularly with energetic entry point North Node in house Scorpio, incoming energies are powerful – forcing growth in uncomfortable new directions.
Past and future, thought patterns, working style, bonds and discipline – all are morphing, reconfiguring, streamlining.

Perspective shifts all over the shop with Mercury and higher octave Uranus in flux.  Signs, portents are circling the airport and coming for a landing – hot and fast.
 Global connections are being made – intellectual & heart connections – are hot and cracking on the electrical grid between us all at the mo.

Note them – brill insights !
True to form – Ganesha popped onto the floor this am – obstacles are being cleared !
Can you hear me now ? 
haaha
The Mind Meld transits – dual eclipses, Merc Rx, square yow !
Wild Ride, for sure !

Houses Leo and Aquarius are very busy running a gauntlet of their own making – creative, inventive solutions are the KEY.  Points in these houses experience tension that forces change on the inner dimensions, silent but deadly.
Life death and rebirth rumble underground.

Virgo Mars is opposite Chiron in Pisces – your own actions in tandem (with the assistance of a man) are balancing Virgo minutiae and the overwhelming into huge healing progressCrack what was broken back into alignment, so real healing can begin.

Uranus square Pluto coming to exact brings Cardinal energy into sharp focus.
Go get ’em attitude with a side of Altitude set to Stillwater via Scorp stellium and New Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio Nov 3.  More on that later….

We’re ALL Swamp Things this Hallow’s Eve.
 YaY ! haaa

Magicicada Molt

locust
During periodical cicada season in the forest, there are dead shells in piles underneath the trees, and also the deafening drone Cicadas develop underground sucking juices from plant roots until after 13 or 17 years, when they emerge, climb onto nearby trees and molt into winged adults. 
Male cicadas sing (species specific) courtship songs by vibrating membranes on the underside of the first abdominal segment.

When a friend once told me I had an ‘easy chart’, I was not amused.  She should have looked further – what an insult !
A different friend said I needed to ‘defy the chart’, as if I could make my brown eyes blue, wad up my BC and re-enter as a newborn snap ! with shiny new aspects.

Defying the chart is not as simple as a hazmat suit, bullet-proof bracelets or a quickie Vegas divorce from shit aspects. I signed onto Earth school to learn specifics in my chosen fields (houses) – defying my natal seems rather like missing the point. 

To navigate any tough aspects, the requirements are patience, vigilance, focus – learning to see, understand their weaknesses, their strengths – learning how to work with them as the skies move.

Masters

I watch the wheel, see the aspects and give future forecasts.
This is what everyone wants to know.

My life is @*#&#% ! !
What the &#%^@ is going on ! ? !

I have more tools (Mars rules tools) than I have ever had before.
I know what energies are at play, I see the challenges ahead, I know I have choices.

The energies influence the issue, they do not force the issue.

I turn a curious eye to advice – I kick it down to y’all, I write it, you read it, but in the split second moment of crisis, do I think : “oh wait, let me see… Sun is square Neptune and Scorpio Moon is on Saturn, so I had better excuse myself for a moment to hide in the basement.”

Hell no !
In certain scenarios, the best and only choice is pitching a fit.
That is why it is called growth.

Yesterday I was struck – yes struck – by the word pleasant.
Pissed me right off like being hit upside the head with a brick.
Pleasant.
Too afraid to touch what lurks deep..?…because it is unpleasant.
Oooh Ick !

Don’t have a dark side ?  Bullshit.
Everyone does – and in these aspects – it is / they are surfacing in broad daylight.
Why try to hide it ?
I see it, I’m looking right at it.
We ALL are.

Smarmy veneer frosting the turd.
Fake as.
I don’t trust anyone who is not well acquainted with their dark side.
One must experience both light and dark to know them well, to respect them both as equal parts of the whole – is to have mastered them.

ALL ONE

My 8th house Uranus friend and I were weeks ago cussing and discussing the merits and flaws of status quo.  We crave it, the moments we can relax into, knowing that for the blink of an eye, all is well. Then stagnation sets in, we have too much of it.

Status quo.

boOooring !

Out it goes – then in her words, she stirs shit up, gets some action happening, shifts the perspectives. That is Uranian through and through.
 I am Virgo Sun/Uran/Plu 9; Sag Mars quintile Uranus, with eclipse near – not on – Mars.

I identify with her statement, and will add that I will respect anyone far more if they dish me the ugly truth – straight no chaser – rather than pour me a pretty lie.

Happy Sun square Neptune y’all.

Pure thought

That’s when things go wrong, when you’re quietly growing up and they start trying to force being part of society down your throat. They’re all trying to transfigure you from the pure way of thought as a child, forcing their illusions on you. All those things annoyed me. I was just trying to be myself. They were trying to turn everybody into rows of little toffees.

Uranus square Pluto

May 25
Penumbral Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4 degrees Sagittarius

::::::::::::::::
Gemini house is soon to be packed with all kinds of goodies ! 
Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter  
Wowza !

Mercury rules Gemini – endowing anybody and everybody with the gift of gab, witty banter, versatility, insatiable curiosity – and hello – flirting off the charts !  Sun, Venus and Jupiter are traditionally thought of as benefics – sprinkling good mojo, so look for a bit of a voosh up in positive mental altitude in your Gemini house.  Gemini is my 6th, and I swear all I want to do is read, but alas, am instead the Queen of Multi-task.  Gem’s and Virgos excel in this being Mercurial.

Moon into Libra will trine everything Gem like a bell through the airwaves (Mercury rules bells) and I have to say – hallelujah amen – with heavy ass Uranus square Pluto pressing down – what a relief – a bit of lighthearted fun and frolic in the mutable house !

Sun into Gem brings a square to Neptune in time for Sagittarius Full Moon Eclipse, so be on alert for low qi illusory brain mis-fires, and full on space case daydreaming.

Worked high qi this tense aspect can deliver compassion, artistic brilliance – and as Mercury comes to square Chiron – healing via communication – just be sure to think before you speak.

Likelihood of crisis divination – off. the. scale.

Uranus square Pluto hits up 11 degrees in all the cardinals – forcing change NOW !
Square dance of metamorphosis keenly felt for Aries, Cancers, Libras and Caps.


Keep in mind Saturn Rx in Scorp and Pluto Rx in Cap are in mutual reception while Saturn Rx trines Neptune in Pisces.  Prize winning aspect for believing in your power to manifest your reality via following your spiritual heart.  Scorpio is power, plain and simple – Saturn Rx is digging deep in the mineshaft, purging the buried toxic swamp goo so we can heal.  Powerful Gem placements brings thinking into higher realms – so we can visualize our best path forward.

Uranus square Pluto struggles to change us through how we take action.
 Conflicts over desire and usefulness butt heads to determine our futures.
Make the change before the change makes you.

May 25 Penumbral Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4 degrees Sagittarius

Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius is surely a test of faith, expansion in love, money and philosophical communications with a bent toward healing via fellowship. Ego and work will be hardcore shifts on this one – strange alliances will be your emotional redemption.

transcendental leap

Quickie read for the Uranus Pluto square energies.
Intent: insight bringing the highest most benevolent outcome for all my readers.

32: Squaring the Circle

Producing a square and a circle that had either exactly the same area, or exactly the same distance around the outer edge has for thousands of years been an elusive goal. 

While the square is easy to measure, the circle is difficult to calculate with because the ratio between the diameter and the circumference is π pi, an irrational number, a transcendental number.  The transcendence of π implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straight-edge.

The square symbolizes form and the material world.
The circle represents the realm of spirit.

Attainment of balance between heaven and earth.
Perfection as can be achieved on a human scale – chaos / order in harmony.
Spirit manifests down – material world rises up.
Magickal traditions.
Success.

2: The Point (spirit card, the crux)

Pure existence
Point is akin to Zero and the Fool tarot card.
The point is the space of potential present before beginning a new journey.

Brainstorm.
Choose what to do, Where to go.
Future possibilities are infinite…
Manifest your dreams into reality.

Jupiter is Expansion.
Saturn is Restriction.

Jupiter is faith, trust, enthusiastic exploration into understanding the whole world.
Saturn is discipline, limitation, sharp concentration on success via excellent work.

I have a ton of Sagittarius vibe – packed 9th, Jupiter smacked up with benefics in the house of Sun (Leo).  Yet, Capricorn is my ASC (Saturn rules) making my outlook serious, reserved – I am bound by karma (Saturn is karma).  My actions are, as are all people’s, bound by karma – but somehow it is particularly relevant to me.  (Yes, each natal shows a particular theme of Earth School Study)  The ruler of my ASC, Saturn Rx is in Aries (Mars rules) and it also trines Mars in Sagittarius – Mars quintiles Uranus, the planet that rules astrology. 

Asteroid Karma is 3811 pop it into your natal for insights.

Karma is the law of moral causation. It is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings. We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven. We create our own Hell. We are the architects of our own fate.  More philosophical karma info here.

::::::::::::::::::
My Karma is smack on my 9th house Virgo Uranus.  (Sun/Ura/Plut)
Relevant..?.. yes !  
When I began to grease the wheels of my life with astrological study, my life improved.  I (Sun) was reborn, I regenerated (Pluto).  I not only understood myself better, but I could understand others better as well.  I don’t take arguments as personally because I can read the energy signatures, be more empathetic.  My good karma is writing here at GMA, helping to guide you to the enlightenment you seek to improve your life.

Years ago when I began my strange journey, I was fear (Saturn / restriction, mind 3) based, it was my filter, my lens with which to view my world. 
Where attention goes, energy flows – my outlook and actions (the web I wove) caused far more trouble than I knew how to deal with at that time.
 Karma kicked my ass to the curb.  I had to pick up my pieces, start over and over and again while in the throes of debilitating illness (which Cap ASC is prone to).

In time (Saturn), I learned (Mercury) to be Jupiter (optimism / fire, heart in Leo 8) based.
I have excavated, picked the bones, made mental lists, compared and contrasted my brains to the moon and back trying to figure out how to change my life for the better.  I noticed everything, sought clues and connections, eventually I learned astrology and the universe began to speak to me.  I began to understand my obstacles, my strengths, and I began to work with the energies, rather than against them.

That is the past, now onto the future…

A few days ago in conversation with my Mother, I casually mentioned I am a Buddhist.
::: She hung up on me :::  
Is normal, her Scorp moon opposes mine – cuss and discuss is quite common.
I identify most strongly with Buddhism, but technically I consider myself a nature-based pagan, wiccan, et al.  I am a rebellious inclusionist (Sun/Ura/Pluto) in the house of Religion – 9, I study everything.
She is
Sagittarius ASC – Jupiter in 5 Toro.
Hmph. Go figure.
In this case, my Cap ASC – Saturn Rx in 3 Aries is far less traditional.
:::::::::::::::::::::

The Uranus Pluto square is poking the ribs of traditionalists across the board.

I see it in others, I see it in myself – even my kitties are fussing about accepting a new stray in the yard.  Card reading peeps are hotly arguing about reading styles (traditional vs. freestyle), power tripping astro-fiends are onside – esp. as Uranus rules astrology, my way is better than your way, etc….Changes are upon us and some are stressing about losing ways that used to be.
  I got news for you, everything is staying – it is only changing form.  A well-known political astrologer once wrote of her generation, ‘we survived the tumultuous 60’s’, …hmmm…I immediately thought, ‘try being the living, breathing, walking tumultuous 60’s’ – that’s a fun one, I guarantee you.

Where the masses are feeling the square, each according to their chart, those of us born in the late 60’s are getting it on a more personal spiritual (Sun) level. 
I am most certainly feeling it rather close to home.  My natal Moon trines my Virgo Sun/Uranus/Pluto conjunction – men, women; privately (Moon 4), publically (Sun 9); consciously and subconsciously.
All of it ass over teakettle at the mo.  Plus 3 lovely eclipses knocking on some personals to boot – yeeHAW !

Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius is surely a test of faith, expansion in love, money and philosophical communications with a bent toward healing via fellowship. Ego and work will be hardcore shifts on this one – strange alliances will be your emotional redemption.
::::::::::::::
This is ultimately my point –
Saturn Rx in 3, what can I say – sometimes takes me forever to get there, thanks for your patience !

Jupiter is frolicking in Gemini (with Venus) being all wild free agent, touching (yes, literally – Mercury & Venus rules touching) base with everyone.  Did your brain go there ?  Hahaa Go ahead and UNthink it now !   (You can thank me later.)

Sagittarius /Jupiter energy in the sign of thinking and communication is a fantastic remedy for working this square / eclipse shizz out.
Positively
Optimistically
Enthusiastically
Sharing & Learning
Ultimately understanding differing viewpoints, perspectives.

Jupiter unaspected is akin to Biggie Sizing the BIGGIE SIZE of all GOOD Jupiter qualities if we channel the energy correctly.
Tap it ! 
See how it feels, explore it and have fun – let your mind go love tripping with Venus.
Be positive & harm none – Be it light !

Those with a case of natal Jupiter squares (internal lack of hope, trust, abundance or faith) could learn quite a bit under this boho Jupiter…
Go on tour with it – cozy up next to the campfire and let your mind weave stories of how you SEE your shiny new future. 

SEE it, dream it, BE it.

Lofty metamorphics

I’ve been doing lots of brainstorming about the environment.
I have changed my personal habits to become more ecologically sound.
I buy local and organic, eat clean (no boxes), am boycotting palm oil, the list goes on.

The world economic infrastructure cannot sustain itself and life on this planet.

The Uranus Pluto square, is forcing the issue – the ideals born during the late 1960’s  Uranus Pluto conjunction are no longer workable on the material plane  – the global economic system is broken – it needs to be stripped down, overhauled with a keen eye toward balancing both ECONOMY and ECOLOGY. 

We are fighting nuclear leaks and waste in the water, poisons leaching into the soil, trash washing up on our shores, toxic oil spills, Indonesian rainforests are being leveled for cardboard take out boxes – making tigers nearly extinct in the process.  Our food is laden with chemicals and entire families of elephants are slaughtered for ivory trinkets.

Earthkind is dying, we are killing our planet, life on it, and animals are choking on our convenient trash.  I can’t sleep nights thinking about the state of our home.

Surfrider here (clean H20, trash surfboards)

The wheel of life is turning like the gears of a cosmic clock – ever-changing, always pushing us to evolve into a higher state of vibration.  Humans need a keen eye and quick mind to find long-term solutions for our Mother, Earth.  Gaia.
::::::::::::::::::::::::
Leo Moon (Mother, Home) opposes Sun, Mercury, Mars all in Aquarian Air.

Science and progress (Aqua Sun and Mercury) move forward with an eye towards the past (they square Saturn in Scorpio) blazing trails of optimism, re-thinking the future (they trine Jupiter Rx in Gemini – also Air) how to heal our seas, ourselves and our planet as a whole (Jup Rx square to Neptune and Chiron in Pisces).

Jupiter direct
6 degrees Gemini
January 30

5:37am CST, USA

Jupiter goes direct in square to Neptune and Chiron in Pisces.
The energies of healers, philosophers and teachers – will shift into forward gear.

Square is an obstacle, we must work to change it – internal change.
I change, you change, we all have to change.
 Our ‘throw away’ culture is based on a corporate lie – there is no AWAY.

Mitakuye Oyasin (Lakota)  We are all related.

Jupiter can lead us into the future with HOPE, we can stop this.  NOW.

I was inspired to write this windy SCIENCE / AIR post because of this:

Japan’s Agency for Natural Resources and Energy has announced plans to build the  world’s largest offshore wind farm near Fukushima as part of plans to reconstruct the area stricken by nuclear disaster in 2011.
