Making Waves

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.

all hands on decks

Love alert code red
Venus trine Neptune  !
Relationship House (Libra) is flush with planets !

Hands UP, who has a tarot card callus ?!  lol.

It is a good time to get some focus re: feelings/perceptions : Moon is Quintile Mercury (better hurry, these 2 move fast)
Love matters coming to a head, changing ?
The time is ripe: Venus is Quintile both Mars and Pluto, but be careful (Mars square Jupiter) and cautious of what you do.
Is the relationship built to last ? Mars in (generous Leo), is Quintile Saturn (fair, kind and exalted in Libra).
Inspiration strikes, insights are forthcoming – keep the faith: Jupiter Quintile Neptune in Aquarius.
Inspiration and idealism meets with moulding reality into form: Saturn trine Neptune.

blind spot

Popped cork.  Pitchfork.  Tuning fork.  Mystical torque.

Lucky Lucky Late Leos get another baptism in the waters of Neptune.
Via Opposition. Other.
Venus smoosh Saturn is trine Neptune.  Sun conjunct Mercury opposite Uranus and it looks like I am gonna pop the cork on Neptune, fuq yeah.
Moon opposite Jupiter and the time is ripe, it surfaces.

First things first.  I have natal Neptune in Scorp on the 11th – that means you, You and YOU see me suffer and squirm under the microscope.  That Neptune is squaring my Heart in Leo on the 8th – specifically, Venus conjunct Jupiter.  Both of which are presently in a stranglehold with Neptune again.
I’m gonna tell you straight up, it’s a bitch. *

~~~~~~~~~~
Scorpios DO the penetrating, they hate being exposed  to the crowd, their weaknesses on public display in broad daylight, no less.  Neptuning fork turned onto itself in Leo is heartless, cruel and selfish – The Will bent and twisted to wield power over others.  It is the absolute refusal  to give up the shiny object, come death and  re-birth, the shiny ‘mine’ will still be clutched tightly  in the talons.

It is self-delusion, self-deception, and escapism to the microscopic Scorpionic degree of depths that only the soul knows.  The belief that going dark cave deep in a haze of addiction will keep the secret sorrows hidden from others is truly an unconscious desperation that they will be hidden from the self.  Over-sensitivity to the environs due to an overactive Neptune in Scorpio can lead to irrational fear of others, self-induced seclusion and a flat-out refusal to face life.

A Scorped up Neptuned Leo WILL obsess over the soulless meatsack staring back from the mirror.  It will poke, provoke and power the ugly thing with unswerving penetrating attention, willing it to rise for yet another death.  It is a power struggle to the death – internal vs. external – the need to transform fighting the need to fixate.  It is the deeply ingrained fixed habits of many lifetimes – the WILL carved so deeply it turns on itself to find the source of the offense and root it out.

Strangled Leo is Plutonic sexual desire metamorphosed and warped, a lack of willpower and reckless gambling of the heart and soul of self and others.  It is vain pride, mining for energy from others, taking – always taking without giving.  It is intolerance of others who do not share the same beliefs, the instinctive Scorpionic need to control – twisted to manipulate the other, a vampirism of the unconscious self and others in the collective.

~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~
Solution ?
Quit being a puss.  Suck it up, sweetheart – quit giving yourself a free pass out of anything difficult.  Be honest with yourself and others.  Use your WILL POWER for healthy thoughts and deeds.  Channel the inner energy to EVOLVE instead of control and manipulate.  Say kind things to yourself in the quiet moments.  Go through EVERY letter in the alphabet and choose a groovy word starting with that letter to describe yourself.  Now do it AGAIN and AGAIN choosing a different word each time.  Open your heart, fear keeps the friends out too.  Speak your kind thoughts aloud.   Train your attention – feed the things that make you feel good about yourself.
Be mindful of your thoughts.  Focus on the positive.
I love you and I have excellent taste.
  You dig ?
Now quit fucking around and use your talents wisely – you are brilliant – shine.

Libra finds creative Venus in the sign she rules, on the lap of sure and steady Saturn who is exalted in the sign of balance.

Love, a dash of charm, (Venus) coupled with wit (Mercury) and radiance (Sun) all in Libra, means earthy, sensuous Pan (Saturn) is gonna get busy with Venus real quick !
This is great astro for working out the kinks in all relationships, so use it or lose it !  (Capricorn motto- Saturn rules- I use.)

kissing the stone

This evening, around 4:15 CST USA Mercury leaves Virgo, joining Sun, Venus, and Saturn in Libra.  Party time !
Libra is the house of parties and friends…but also lawsuits and enemies.
It is opposite the me Me ME of Aries and is the house of Balance and Us. 

Venus is at home in the house she rules and is warming up to old cuss Saturn on the couch at about 5 degrees…and she’s moving in closer…Saturn is looking good ~ he is exalted in Libra.

A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar.

~~~~~~~~~
There is a sense of peace coupled with change in the air, with the grand earth trine involving Moon (feelings), Jupiter (poise), and Pluto (inner energy). 
 
Saturn is steady, diplomatic, fair and kind in Libra, especially with Venus at his side.  Pluto, with 6 aspects in the sky is manifesting change in Air (thoughts, communication) and Earth (physical world), and Fire (actions).  The Water element (Moon) is involved  via the steady Earth trine.

~~~~~~
Mercury (Hermes) is the messenger, the traveller, the root of the name (herma) means ‘marker of stones’. 
Mercury (polarities) into Libra (scales of balance) can mean an over abundance of thinking/communicating followed by periods of quiet and relaxation (Venus).

It occurs to me I have vacation coming (yes !) and should make a calendar of chores so I can be more productive, haha Saturn, no rest for Saturn.   I will plan a day of reading (how weird to schedule relaxation) since Mercury rules reading, libraries, Saturn rules time, Venus, love.  The brick pictured above is on a path leading to a library, if you were wondering.
I will leave you with a gorgeous photo (Venus, art) of a mysterious moving (Mercury) rock (Saturn) to celebrate Mercury into Libra.

dragon’s head

Ammonites are fossils, previous homes to cephalopods that lived in the seas between 240 – 65 million years ago.
The name originates from the Greek Ram-horned god called Ammon.

In the Middle Ages they were called ‘dragon’s heads’ and worn for protection.  The Blackfoot tribe also wore them to ward off evil spirits as ‘buffalo stones’.

Ammonite is a powerful re-birthing stone; it represents the sacred geometry of the golden mean and the cyclical nature of life.
It is excellent for centering, and relaxation through calming the breath, and pulse.  It can awaken the kundalini and foster harmonious energy flow throughout the body.


If you are very Earthy, or just simply a lover of stones, you may like to find a pocket totem to carry as a reminder to vibrate high energies during the Uranus oppositions to Sun, Mercury and Venus.
Venus is also conjunct Saturn.  Pluto is squaring the above, and Uranus too.

There is energy pushing and pulling in the sky in many earth signs.
…so I am making friends with the Earth energies via ammonite…

Capricorn rules Saturn, Saturn rules rocks , they are made with pressure over eons of time ~ very Plutonic.
Saturn is my chart ruler, both luminaries are in Earth, so I dig rocks. 

They help me focus my energies and practice patience, with myself and others.
….may they help you as well…
