Light in dark places

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.

Perspective.
Pluto rules the rare and miraculous, the microcosmos.
Saturn rules the Earth.

Pluto digs up and transforms how we experience everything in the place it lives or transits in our natal chart.

Pluto by transit hit exact square to my chart ruler, Saturn Rx – today.
Saw that comin’.
It went about as well as I figured it would. 

Pluto will turn your world on its head – you will find yourself hanging like Odin from a tree, sacrificing (death) one thing or idea only to transform that same thing or idea into another greater thing.  It is a struggle, a morph, a shift in perspective.

If the Plutonic situation will not change, YOU. WILL.
Which in turn does change the situation entirely.

See the picture of the Milky Way above…?
Shifts the way of thinking doesn’t it ?!
Now look at the photo below.

Perspective.
The universe – the micro / macro cosmos.
The ALL ONE.

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

Uranus (Aquarius/ 11th house) and Pluto involve perspectives*  and microcosmos.  What house /s do these planets live in and what do they activate in your chart ?

* (see genius perspective artist, M.C. Eschers massive 11th house stellium)

Mine are conjunct Sun in Virgo, on the 9th house of Sagittarius, the expansive.
I SEE (Sag motto) the diversity of life (Pluto falls in my 8th house of Leo, Sun ruled or life)  BIG & small.
I can dovetail the two into a whole (Neptune girl is inclusive – Sag on 12th) philosophy (9th house)  ALL ONE. 

My former husband has them in the 11th house, he is a wicked smart micro biologist.
Teeny tiny is his trade, what he researches & produces goes into salad dressing, etc…
Both are trine his Moon (public) in Taurus.

Think about where Uranus and Pluto live in your chart and how they shift your perspectives time and again.  There is massive growth in that area of your chart, and there will be more in the future as Uranus and Pluto are moving closer to exact square in the sky above us now.

Look to planets they aspect – the house opposite (others), the houses squaring (internal), and the opportunities you have waiting for you in sextile, and the restful spots in the trines.  All these things will help you flesh out the story of your natal chart.

Now for a great photo that can bridge both worlds.
Earth AND Sky.
I love this one.

Fair Warning – no trespass against any and all Virgos !

Virgos are born to solve, perfect, and protect.
When a festering boil erupts, it will be rooted.

Resistance is futile.

Mars direct Friday April 13, 2012 at 3 degrees Virgo: 10:53pm, CST, USA

Read: Mars has been jammed up our nostrils since entering the sign of Virgo on November 10th aggravating, initiating & rousing any and all micro – minutiae analyzation in full throttle force.

Mars has been mainlining energy into all Virgo planets via direct motion since November 10th.
Now – planets situated between 23 and 3 degrees of Virgo will be taking a retrograde hit, followed by another direct hit.

Read:  Direct and perfect, retrograde and turn the blade.

Mars is the blade, the power, the energy outgoing while direct.
Virgos prune.  Virgos heal.  They are duty – bound to serve others.

Virgos perfect by nature.

Mars while retrograde, is the blade, the power, turned inward  to re-assess the re-visions already made by the firm and steadfast Virgo intellect.  During Mars retrograde, Virgos will heal themselves.
Any and all work not deemed perfect by the perfectionist within will be revived, re-invigorated and resolved.

Natal planets between 23 and 3 degrees of Virgo will feel this Mars Rx strongly by conjunction.  Pisces planets by opposition, and Gemini and Sagittarius will feel Mars Rx by square.



Red Sonja- Gabrielle Dell’ Otto

Monday Jan 23rd : New Moon in Aquarius will bring communication undercurrents, intuitive, zaps and transformative vibes with Mars, Pluto and Sun/Moon/ Mercury activating Uranus – sharp intuitive powers !

Creative solutions will present themselves – be aware the Goddess vibe is strong with Lilith opposite Saturn at the culmination degree of 29 Libra.

Energies will be shifting, do not pick battles with authority – Lillith is square New Moon/Sun and opposite Saturn, and Mars is shifting to Retrograde.

Do not pick fights during Mars retrograde – plot and plan, yes – confront, no.

By evening, Moon passes the tense emotional squares, the atmosphere eases as Mars stations Rx, freeing us to enjoy the fizzy Aquarian Moon.

She who would slay dragons must first learn their habits.

the face of the Earth

Posted on by

As the palms of the hand or placement of moles on the body tell tales of the life of a human, meteorite falls speak the history and future of Gaia.

Chinese face reading is based on the same ancient science as acupuncture, references have been found in texts that date back to 600 B.C.E.  The study is based on the micro/macro universe, meaning each part of the body is a representation of the whole.

The face is broken up into zones of life: hairline is adolescence, forehead 20’s, eyes 30’s, nose 40’s, mouth 50’s, chin 60’s, jaw 70’s, sides of face 80’s & 90’s, bottom of chin 99/100.

The top third portion of the face is the analytical zone, the middle is the practical zone, and the bottom third is the intuitive zone.

The right side of your face is the public side, the left is the private side, what you keep to yourself.

Chinese face reading considers anything that sticks out on the face a sign of good luck.  For instance, most moles are considered good luck, they are extra metal – metal refines, it is inward moving energy, contracting and hardening.  Metal represents the time of late fall and old age.

Any scars on the face have the effect of diminishing the power that feature symbolizes.  For instance a scar on the chin would decrease willpower, a scar on the eyebrow would decrease self – confidence.  (A unibrow signifies an overabundance of pushy wood energy, a tendency towards bossiness, frustration and anger.)

It is interesting to note my Mother and I each have a mole above our eyebrow.  Mine is above my left (private), hers is above her right (public).  She has a chart that is very nearly a grand sextile and she enjoys groups, clubs etc…  I have Neptune (the hidden) most highly aspected, Sun conjunct rebellious Uranus, and I do my own thing.
I. don’t. do. groups. or clubs. or etc.. haha
(The only herd I belong to is its own indescribable chaotic masterpiece.)


Barringer Crater, east of Flagstaff, AZ

Mountains are Yang – masculine, active, outgoing energy.
Day, conscious awareness.

Valleys are Yin – feminine, reactive, introverted energy.
Night, unconscious instinctual awareness.

Barringer Crater (yin) is located in the middle third (practical zone – builders and steady achievers *), on Arizona’s (ground standpoint) left half (privately owned crater), on the right (public or famous) half of the United States.

*Daniel Moreau Barringer’s struggle to prove the impact origin of his crater is an example of the enormous difference that one determined individual can make – even if that individual is a non-scientist working to change the prevailing scientific view. His story tells us about the importance of intuitive leaps, careful data-gathering, stubbornness, and even self-interest in the progress of science.

The native Saguaro cactus are found in the lower third of Arizona, the intuitive (water) zone.  Saguaro can absorb hundreds of gallons of water during a storm, sometimes weighing up to 3 tons.  They are only found in the Sonoran desert (SW Arizona, part of Baja, California).
Arizona means ‘small spring’, the state motto is “Ditat Deus” or, God Enriches, it is largely known for being the Grand Canyon or Copper state.

When considering the ‘scar’ or crater…the meteor fell 50,000 years ago during the last ice age.  Arizona is ruled by Aquarius, the sign traditionally ruled by both Saturn (earth and time) and Uranus (sudden surprises).   Saturn also rules falling and rocks.

In Chinese face reading, the placement of a scar (age zone) will be when the issue or lesson will be re-addressed in the life.  Around 50,000 years ago humans began building more efficient tools, and making art to bury with their dead.  Linguists surmise it may be language that made the leap possible.

Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury (communication), so perhaps when humans start communicating telepathically, via the earth energy grid, we will have learned the lesson of the crater.

The above is a map of US meteorite finds + falls as of July, 2009.
The map below is world-wide falls as of 2000.

Keep in mind that the earth is covered by 70 % water, and many craters are under the sea, only detectable by satellite imaging.

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recent worldwide meteorite falls (click here – takes time to load)

Most of the world-wide landmass strikes have been above the Tropic of Cancer, the upper third of the world (analytical).  The falls seem pretty evenly divided on either side of the prime meridian, so that’s a toss up.

One could always read the landfalls like tea leaves…I see a boomerang or maybe a kangaroo with a long tail in Australia.
It could be divination through meteorite ‘constellations’…!
Connect the dots, study and make your myth.
I also find it interesting that Hollyweird is about as right (public, famous) as it gets in the US, and in the lower third (intuitive Neptune/film zone) of California.

So what do you think ? 
What do read in your face and on the face of our earth..?

Listed below are the major 2012 meteor showers visible during the night where the expected Zenith Hourly Rate (ZHR) of meteors will be 10 or more, or where the rate may be variable.

Since more meteors are always seen after midnight, these dates are the best mornings to observe.

Much more geology and meteorite impact info here (click).

Transiting Venus (which is conjunct transiting Neptune) is opposite the degree between my natal Venus/Jupiter conjunction (that square Neptune) in the 8th at the moment…snap !

Divination post !

Neptune is waterfalling all over the place, and Neptune rules divination.
Pluto also rules divination / metaphysics and by transit is square my Saturn (earth), which is my chart ruler.
ta da !  Earth divination !  …enjoy…  & stay tuned, the actor’s chart I am doing next has a connection with this crater !

Lastly, for the record, I don’t think we are going to die from a giant meteor strike, giant comet, giant aliens, etc… I just love science and divination !

Jupiter stations direct 0 ’22 Taurus, Sunday December 25 at 4:08pm CST, USA

Jupiter brings abundance, hope, faith, wisdom, visionary philosophies, charity, and optimism to the house of Taurus in your chart with today’s direct motion.  It is considered the greater fortune, the bringer of luck and prosperity.

Venus ruled Taurus represents what you have, your earnings, money, love, art and self-worth – in addition to how, what and who you value, and how others value you.

Jupiter goes direct in a trine to Sun conjunct Pluto in Capricorn – expect optimism and forward motion concerning those changes you have been making, and those changes being forced (Pluto is struggle) upon you.

Uranus is at zero degrees Aries, Jupiter goes direct at zero degrees Taurus – new beginnings – new horizons and unexpected events are a part of life, feeling positive is easier with the gifts of Jupiter at your back.

Moon is quintile (spiritual gifts, special talents) Uranus (which is sextile Venus) as Jupiter goes direct, sprinkling a blessing of fairy dust on the growing new moon for beautiful awakenings as she grows to full…

Jupiter goes direct in Taurus in opposition to Saturn in Libra / square Venus in Aquarius which is also square Saturn.  Venus is the focal point of the T-Square in the detached intellectual airs of Aquarius.

Venus rules Taurus and Libra, take time for the mending of fences and balancing the budget, the relationship/financial teeter-totter of balance is still in flux while Saturn lives in Libra.

Jupiter in retrograde has been a time of envisioning how you will achieve your highest good.
….now…
Make it so~

One of the things I love about astrology is how it explains so much about people.
Astrology explains who and what, even how you like.
For instance Neptune is my most highly aspected planet and it rules the sea.
I should be an ocean gal, then right..?!
No.
Mountain girl all the way !
Why is that..?
My Neptune has squares (conflict), while my chart ruler, Saturn (Saturn is Earth, rules Capricorn my Ascendant, is the mountain goat) has a trine (ease) to Mars.
That feels better.
Look to your chart, you will find yourself naturally going for the trines and sextiles every time.  They are the back door, the trapdoor, and the secret passage out of trouble with squares and oppositions in your chart.

Here is a pic of stuff I had gathered pre-astro knowledge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

I have Saturn trine Mars (steel, fire & the forge).

Sun conjunct the morphed metal is my Virgo Sun conjunct Uranus Pluto (heat, change, morph, forge) in the 9th (lucky horseshoe).I have Libra at Midheaven (ruled by Venus, art), hence balance sculpture/art.
My Venus (art, friends) is conjunct Jupiter in Leo (creativity, luck).
I am an artist, and have creative friends, I like cats.
I have a ‘thing’ about naming things. Mercury (names) at MC, with Neptune (fictitious names) most highly aspected.
I have changed my name to something mystical – representing polarities, time and union.
My cats have names that mean ‘friend’.
Neptune is my most highly aspected planet and it rules film & photography.

Look to your chart to see what you like written in the symbols of the skies …

Michael Andrew “Duff” McKagan

One of the first things I did was go to the grocery store to buy food. It was a novel idea at the time, for I hadn’t really shopped for food in about 10 years. Now here I was, 30 years old, and probably doing the first good grocery shopping in my life. I was an adult with a credit card, a checkbook, and an ATM card. I could buy whatever I wanted in the store, but I had no idea where to start. I thought that everyone was staring at me. It had been so long that I had been anywhere sober that I didn’t know how to act or how to deal.

It was like being on LSD. The lights in the store were blaringly bright to me and the music seemed to be playing hidden messages. I bought some milk and barbecue sauce and cigarettes, and that is all. My shirt was drenched in sweat and I was having a full-blown panic attack. As I drove my car home, I stiffly steered my machine out of the way of three accidents as I rode the brakes the whole way. I could smell my brake pads when I got home.

~Duff McKagan, on his sobriety from “It’s so Easy and other lies” (click here)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duff McKagan rose to fame as bassist for Guns ‘N’ Roses in 1987, when the band released Appetite for Destruction.  
It is is the highest selling debut album of all time in the US, with more than 28 million copies sold worldwide.

Next year’s class of inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will be headlined by Guns N’ Roses, the only group on the ballot to be inducted in their first year of eligibility.  Click here for Cleveland R&RHoF

I’ve been reading Duff McKagan’s autobiography and obviously GN’R partied, but I had no idea how far it had gone for Duff personally.  He is brutally honest, candid and wryly funny in his accounts of his life as bassist of GN’R.

On May 10, 1994, Duff’s pancreas burst and he was told by his doctor if he had one more drink he would die.  He spent two weeks in the hospital recovering and taking small steps in the early stages of detox.  He credits his sobriety in large part to guilt over seeing his mother suffering from worry while he was in critical care.

He describes his recovery from addiction through a love of mountain biking, and his voracious appetite for reading.  He began to write columns for Seattle Weekly, and later many other publications.  For Seattle Weekly McKagan archives, click here.

While in recovery Duff read GN’R financial documents and found he couldn’t understand them.  He decided to enroll in financial accounting courses (got an A in his first class) and discovered his love of academics.  He earned a 4.0 and was on the President’s list, quite an achievement from the earlier addictions he describes in his book.  When he saw a need for musicians to be educated about their financial holdings and business deals, it lead him to start his own wealth management firm, Meridian Rock, to educate musicians and give them the power to make good business decisions on their own behalf.

Duff is a 9 life path, meaning he is in a lifetime of completion.  Nine is the culminated knowledge of all the numbers before it, and is a number of utopian ideals.  Nines are spiritual and often have a lifetime of overcoming difficulties.  They learn how to succeed themselves, in order to teach the world how to do the same.  (I’m a nine too.)
~~~~~~~~~~~

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

This is a solar chart, I don’t have the correct birth time, so keep in mind the planets in signs remain the same, houses may change.  

First off, I was struck by how Duff has several difficult fixed (ingrained over several lifetimes) squares (inner conflict, obstacles)  involving the Sun (ego, spirit) and Moon (feelings, fluctuation) – they are the luminaries, the conscious (Sun), and unconscious (Moon).
Hopes (Sun) and Dreams (Moon) forming an obstacle to one another.

Moon and Neptune in Scorpio are quiet, secretive and perceptive, if they do not find stimulation, (speaking from my personal experience here; and Duff speaks of facing it in the ring)  they can turn the Scorpio stinger on themselves to feel something, anything.

Moon (habits, instincts) conjunct Neptune can mean addiction in its low vibration, or spiritual healing at its highest vibration.  This conjunction is intuitive, and feels the cosmos coming in.  It is a conjunction that can bring mystical emotions, heightened perceptions, illusions, daydreams and imagination into the waking life 24/7.

Note also the asteroid Dionysus 3671 is opposite Sun and Mars and square Neptune.  Dionysus is symbolic not only of wine and merriment, but also of the sharp pruning of the vine in order for it to bear the best fruit.   Sun (life, spirit), Mars (the blade) and Saturn (pruning) conjunction in Aquarius has indeed led to the bearing of Duff’s best life / fruit.

Coupled with a hedonistic Sun / Mars conjunction in square ( inner tension ) to the often delusional energies of Neptune, that’s one heck of an obstacle.  Sun conjunct Mars is raw power, tempered by Saturn (the tester, restriction, karma) the need to restrict and rein in the wild tendencies inherent to the nature of Aquarius.  That trio of planets in Aquarius, is in itself a hurdle.

Here’s his ace in the hole : Mercury trine Uranus.  Mercury is thinking; Uranus intuition and innovation.  Mercury in good aspect to Uranus is the sign of genius, a quick study.   The mental faculties are very sharp and capable of radical trail-blazing ideas.  Through his love of learning (Mercury is study and is sextile {opportunity} Venus, love) he transformed his life (Sun) his habits, (Moon conjunct Neptune) and his creativity, his love and spiritual health (Venus exalted in Pisces) all by taking the opportunity (sextiles) to learn and stimulate his intellect.

He also took the opportunity (sextile) to keep actively busy through sports (Mars), higher education (Jupiter), and he continually pushes his endurance (Aries) physically in order to improve his self-esteem (Sun).

Duff’s North Node of Destiny is in Cancer, the sign of nurturing.  Once he got himself on his feet, he will push ahead helping others too.  Now Duff is strong in heart, mind, body, and spirit and has a loving family.   He is, by building (Saturn rules building, the earth and rocks)  Meridian Rock  (perfect name- I love it !) reaching out to help his fellow musicians learn how to handle their finances so they can take care of themselves too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Very quickly I want to say a few words about the day Duff was admitted into the hospital with a burst pancreas.  Moon rules the pancreas, and conjunct Neptune in the natal, it can indicate a weakness.  If circumstances in the life and transits activate it, trouble may arise.  Duff speaks in his book of alcoholism and drug use spiraling out of control, and that will further weaken the body.
Transiting Sun 19 Taurus (life-force) was opposite (call for compromise) Moon 19 / Neptune 17 conjunction (addiction) in Scorpio (the house of death and rebirth).  Transiting Moon was also nearing opposition at 11 Taurus.  Transiting Neptune was conjunct natal Mercury (which is trine Uranus in the natal – that’s a wake up call !)   Transiting Pluto and North Node of Destiny were conjunct in Scorpio as well – a call for transformation, rebirth, and rising to meet your destiny.
Ohm mani padme hum

Duff’s band, Loaded released their 3rd studio album, The Taking, earlier this year, see the video below for an acoustic version of Flatline.
