Miraculous

Posted on by

I have long been interested in the martyred saints even though I am not catholic.  Pictured on the postcard below is Saint Jude, one of the 12 apostles of Christ.  He was martyred along with Saint Simon for bringing the gospel to Persia.

Saint Jude’s attribute is a club. He is also often shown in icons with a flame around his head. This represents his presence at Pentecost, when he received the Holy Spirit with the other apostles. Another common attribute is Jude holding an image of Jesus Christ, in the image of Edessa. In some instances he may be shown with a scroll or a book (the Epistle of Jude) or holding a carpenter’s rule.

Jude is invoked in desperate situations because his New Testament letter stresses that the faithful should persevere in the environment of harsh, difficult circumstances, just as their forefathers had done before them. Therefore, he is the patron saint of desperate cases and his feast day is October 28.
::::::::::::::::::::::
You ever seen a catholic calendar ? – filled  with feast days.  That’s a lot of martyred saints.  eep.  That’s kinda creepy.
I have a book of patron saints, This Saints for You, guaranteed to fascinate, promise!  Saints can help you sell your house, have a successful garage sale, or if you work with explosives, call on Saint Barbara.  No kidding. 

You ever read messages of thanks to St. Jude in your local free reader or mixed in with the want ads ?
These people are giving thanks to St. Jude because their prayers have been answered.

I found the postcard above while perusing a second hand shop with my college roomie.  I was sick at the time, had been for quite awhile, and being a Beatles fan, and  a big Julian Lennon fan, (Paul wrote the song for him.) I popped a few bucks and took it home.

Hey, what can it hurt to have a little help from your friends, right ?
Well…I started carrying it around and I got better.

Thank you Saint Jude, my prayers were answered.
 

Martyrs are ruled by Saturn, and saints, Neptune.  Neptune is my most highly aspected planet with squares straight to Leo (ruled by Sun, the solar life force) in the 8th.  The 8th house is death, rebirth, the phoenix rising from the ashes stronger.
Makes sense with the saints, now doesn’t it.  Rising from the ashes, even stronger after death.  Millions pray to them to intercede on their behalf.

Saint Jude is Aquarian, or rather miracles are Uranian and Neptunian, and he fits the bill.  My biggie Neptune is in Scorpio (the occult) on the 11th house (natural house of Aquarius), so a fascination with martyrs (my Neptune square the 8th and death), saints and miracles.

I am Saturn (martyrs) ruled, and have Venus (love, art) conjunct Jupiter (faith) in the 8th (death) square Neptune (miracles).  I am also a big fan of incense, (Mars rules- which in my chart is on the healing 12th), and bells (Venus rules) to clear and bless the energy in the room.

I have Mars (desires, action) in Sagittarius (faith) which is on my 12th house of mysticism.   So, very spiritual, but not conforming to any religious groups. (My Sun /spirit conjunct Uranus of the free and untamed in the 9th house of faith.)

This is what fascinates me about astrology, it explains soOo much when you learn it.  My friend and client was amazed by her current transits info.
“You can see all that?”     ~Yes.   Cool, yeah ?!
Miraculous ~ the universe ~ macro to micro.
Divine. / Divination.
Neptune rules !

(I would be remiss if I did not add that I was bemoaning the very Neptunian chart I have been blessed/cursed with just yesterday (or the day before, I can’t remember !- ha ! Neptune rules fog; Mercury memory) but today I am looking at it differently, not suffering quite so much – feeling more inspired.)

Thanks to my new friend clareflourish who inspired this post by providing this incredible link to Medieval icons. <- sorry, broken link try this one.

I thank you !
Merry Meet & Blessed Be.

Strength squared

Posted on by

Hello lovely people !
This tarot card reading is from the Soulcards deck by Deborah Koff-Chapin.
Another sign, as I post this I see not only is today an 8, but this post is numbered 2222, (8) which is strength and regeneration.
Blessings to all ~ find your brace points in love.

My question was loosely based on the principle of micro/macro energies for us and our world during these times of Uranus square Pluto.  This reading will reveal what is UP with our lives, and the lives of all of us collectively.
I placed them in a group of 3, the last card being the message from spirit at the bottom of the deck.   My other parameters being the most benevolent outcome for all my readers whenever they stop by to read it.
I love these cards because they are subjective, what YOU see springs out of your personal experience.  Enjoy~

On a personal note, I am on vacation so if posts slow up for a week or so, do not be alarmed, I am working, but on other things.

Making Waves

Posted on by

We have a lovely Pisces (Neptune rules) Moon (feelings, public) conjunct chiron (healer) and Neptune (oceans).
Moon and Neptune both trine (harmony) Mercury (messenger of the gods) and Venus (love).
Neptune (oceans) trine Saturn (conservation).

I was cruising Radiohead info and found this great site Project Oceans.

I love it that Radiohead is so incredibly environmentally active – refusing to jet across the globe to play in a television studio – they dial it in – pointedly explaining why to do otherwise is ludicrous.
oh yeah baby I dig you.  My Saturn has a crush on your Saturn. 

Obviously, I’m not done talking about how great Thom Yorke (click here for more Thom) is, so pull up a seat Radioheads..!
Thom has Mercury, Venus and Neptune in Scorpio.  Intense and powerfully perceptive, he is able to read the collective pulse (Mercury, Neptune, Venus in Scorp) of unconscious human need (Mercury opp Moon) and forge (Pluto rules Scorp) new tools for building a more environmentally (Saturn conjunct Moon) sound future for us all.

That Virgo stellium is a powerhouse !
Virgos appreciate life in all its forms.  They see the web of life, the sacred patterns present from the micro to the macro scale.  They are earthy healers here to serve and protect.

Thom has Virgo Mars (desires, action), Jupiter (hope, philosophy) conjunct Pluto (the big game-changer, regeneration) and Uranus (the wild and free).  He is progressive and pioneering, a leader in the environmental movement from a musicians standpoint.  The band has taken solid steps to cut the amount of carbon emissions they produce during touring, as well as backing ecowatch groups and artists programs raising awareness on global warming.

Thom has Libra Sun (balance) opposite Aries Moon which is conjunct Saturn (Earth).  Moon and Saturn have a Mars flavor which brings a militant attitude toward finding balance with the public (Moon) and Earth (Saturn).

Libra Sun opposite Aries Moon conjunct Saturn – all are in Cardinal signs – they are initiating plans of action and making waves.

Thom is a number 5 life path, and has a 5 Sun.
5= Change, flux and adjustment
His Moon is 7 = Divine order, the mystical, a turning point.
Sevens are the triumph of spirit over matter.

Spirit (Sun) in the sign of balance (Libra) using art and music (Venus rules) to shine a reflection toward the masses (Moon) of what humankind is unconsciously doing to our (Mother, Moon) planet (Saturn, Earth).

I’m glad you were born to spin around on the planet with us, thank you.

purple haze

Posted on by

A friend of mine once told me he could tell I was in a good mood because he could see purple lights around me.

He was a cool guy…quiet…known for being pretty zen (he showed up as Gandhi one Halloween), so not too surprised he could see my aura.

In the right light I can see a faint haze of color around people, and Ravi Shankar had an aura I could see plain as day.

Kirlian photography , also called corona (aura) discharge, is a high voltage, contact print photography. The process is simple. Sheet film is placed on top of a metal plate, called the discharge or film plate. The object to photograph is placed on top of the film when High voltage is applied to the plate momentarily to make an exposure. The corona discharge between the object and discharge plate passes through and is recorded onto the film.  When the film is developed you have a Kirlian photograph of the object.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Interesting isn’t it, that the organic mushroom looks much more lively and healthy ?!  Raw foodies won’t be shocked to see raw uncooked veggies seem to have the best auras.
It was also noted that where an amputated finger had been removed, the aura of the missing finger still showed up in the photo.  This lead me to a fascinating article by Rupert Sheldrake concerning phantom or amputated limbs still having a connection with the physical body.

I recently had a computer reading that is called Aura photography, but is more a bio-scan of stress levels.  It will shoot out a color report of your ‘aura’ – complete with graphs and scales of how active each chakra in your body is.
I had a few bucks to blow, and I was curious to see what was up.
What- are you kidding me- ?!  If it’s weird, I’m in !  lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So of course, I had to experiment with some crystals and stones in the photo to see if it changed anything.
I am holding a very clear blue fluorite and a lodestone (bottom left), which changed the intensity of color a bit.

I intentionally fuzzed out the pic so the colors are the focus, so to speak.
(Snowy Owl mask for Pluto transiting my 1st…)

It appears I have a high-frequency aqua-marine aura.
A scored of about 90 out of 100, meaning my aura travels farther than most.  Maybe you have seen it out & about…?
50 on root chakra, 60 in sacral, 80 solar plexis, 90 heart, 95 throat, 95 third eye, 90 crown.
Primary colors: blue = depth, green = manifestation
I am drawn to blue and green stones, Neptune (blue) squares to Leo (heart, green)  I feel they fortify me somehow, it’s hard to explain, but they feel good.
Recently I grabbed a pyrite for a few days when I needed grounding, (it is carved in a heart shape-ha irony !) and it was soothing. Keep in mind Saturn (rules rocks, earth) rules my chart.
Despite the fact that I am full of earth, I am constantly trying to guide my Neptune, so I keep crystals all over me and my house and I feel it helps.

I am also glugging quite a lot of my homemade clematis essence (helps to ground dreams into reality) that I specially harvested during the last Pisces full moon.

Aquamarine aura means compassionate, peaceful nature, easy flowing relationships.
Giant Neptuner ? ~ bingo!
Also of note with further reading I see it is the color most indicative of polarities.  This I find very interesting, as I have been told by an intuitive that I AM here to learn about polarities.  That lodestone I am holding in the pic – magnetic.
My Uranus is oriental, conjunct Sun and Uranus rules magnetics and polarities.
My Mercury is at Mid-heaven and Mercury is dualistic.
Trickster/messenger.

What color is your aura ?

Saturn rules spiders, they build.

I am careful not to destruct their webs while walking through my yard.
I just sit and watch them spin, they fascinate me.
Building.  Always building.  Work, work and more work.

Spider, my yard

Spinning all sorts of webs, not just orbs like you see pasted up in Halloween windows,  but funnels and string lines with lassos, all sorts of designs to suit the purpose.
I wonder how many webs a spider spins during their life ?  How many times does their masterpiece get wrecked to the point it is better to leave it and start over on another one ?
Pluto is wrecking ball my Saturn right now.


Asheville, NC artist.  Please, forgive, too many years ago to remember.

Neptune is opposing my Venus Jupiter conjunction in the 8th, and I want to build art.
I want the materials and tools (Mars) in my hands.  (Saturn in Aries 3rd, trine Mars in Sag)
I love to work with my hands (Gemini 6th).  I love leatherwork.  (Saturn rules me and leather)  I love the way it smells and the way the wrinkles in the hide feel underneath my fingertips when I lace it with sinew.  (Toro Moon 4th)

Gneiss Moon

It’s dead, and I’m Plutonic.
Skulls, bones, feathers, hides, skins, rocks, crystals, quills, furs, twigs and sticks, axes and arrowheads are all over my place.  Death is a part of life.  I get the feng shui, and I practice it my way.  The dead stuff stays.

I’m pretty Uranian too with Neptune waterfalling all over my chart from the 11th and Uranus/Pluto conjunct Sun in the 9th.

I’m self – taught in many areas, I prefer it to classes, tests and schedules.
What I want to learn, no school around here teaches anyway.

Lone wolf.

Manifest Destiny

Posted on by

Pictured below is Pluto, yes Pluto.  Not space object whatever downgrade term it got smacked with.  Check some of the Pluto posts here if you doubt this tiny planets whallop on the natal chart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have it conjunct Sun/Uranus, trine Moon, trust me it has power, no matter what you call it.  Don’t let that freak you out, though.  Pluto rules metamorphosis and rebirth ~> think phoenix, or caterpillar to butterfly.
Not easy, but worth it !
Now on with the sky show…

~~~~~~~~~~~
11:00 UT, (6:00 CST) we will have a big pile up in the Cardinal (activity, action) Air sign (thinking, speaking) of Libra.  Two degree Mercury conjunct New Moon, and Moon conjunct Sun at 4 degrees- all square Pluto at 4 degrees.  Mercury is at 2 degrees opposite Uranus at 2 degrees, with Sun and New Moon opposite as well.  Uranus squares Pluto.  Those are some stressful aspects, but what growth isn’t..?

Look at it this way…

1= seeds, new beginnings   2=balance, duality    4= stability    5=change
6= harmony within flux  8= strength, new priorities  9=mystical, closure

The healers Chiron & Neptune are seeds, new beginnings.
Mercury (thoughts, communication) and Uranus (change) are balance, duality.
Saturn (responsibility) and Jupiter (visionary ideas) are mystical closure.
Mars (action) is change.
Venus (love, kindness) is harmony within flux.
Sun, Moon and Pluto are stability.
North Node of Destiny is strength and setting new priorities in the sign of Sagittarius the seekers of Universal Truth.

Quintiles are spiritual gifts straight from the universe.  There are several in the sky above… Venus Q Mars….Mars Q Saturn…Jupiter Q Neptune…Neptune Q North Node of Destiny (note that Jupiter and Neptune are bi-Q Sun, Moon, and Mercury as well)

This is a great chance to get some power behind all those thoughts of love, peace, equality, healing so they can manifest into your destiny.  The planet of action (Mars) is creating tension (change) from Leo of the Heart to the biggest planet in our sky the greater benefic, Jupiter in the dependable sign of Taurus that Venus (Love) rules.

Mars (action) is trine (harmony) changeable Uranus and sextile (opportunity) Sun, New (manifestation) Moon and Mercury (conscious, unconscious, thinking) in the Cardinal (active, initiatory) sign of balance, the sign of relationships, Libra.

Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Chiron are all Rx (retrograde), so these are changes that will perhaps bloom slowly, but are worth the effort.

From NASA :

A coronal mass ejection bursting off the left side of the sun. This image was
captured by the SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) at 6:05 PM ET on September 21, 2011.

A large coronal mass ejection (CME) shot off the West (right) side of the sun at 6:24 PM ET on September 21, 2011. The CME is moving away from Earth at about 900 miles per second.

 

An X1.4 class (click for video) flare was recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) on the morning of September 22, 2011.

(X-1 flares may cause (click) radio blackouts.)

In the sky Uranus (magnetics) is opposite Sun (electro-magnetics).
Super-powered Pluto is squaring (tension) both….interesting…
