Blind lucks

Swampcat !

I soOo love this pic – Leo 8th house here.

Look to your house of Leo & Sun
To see how & where you flirt.

Ow.  The ex flirted at work.
yep

My brother had Pluto in Leo 9
and he nearly died in a motorcycle accident
while traveling, he was accident prone.
Yet he also had all the women swooning
in Colorado – which is super Leo.
and far from home.

My sister does at home.  True.
She and my brother-in-law are just plain goofy.

How about you ?

::::::::::::::::

I have
Venus conjunct Jupiter and Fortuna
all in 8 of death.
Intense life-altering, knock-down, drag out, ginormous
love deaths

A Leo without light
sad, sick and in the darkness

I flirted with death.
Not proud of that.  True though.
I have died every which way
slowly, killing myself by degrees
  fuquin low Neptune poisons of each and every kind
killing me and killing me and killing me
without actual physical death
though I begged for it

For years I clawed my way out
of a deep dark sick hole

it was horrible
and now, thankfully
it is OVER

I have pinpointed another turning of the tide
a sweet man said have a good day
and he MEANT it.

Such a small thing – a moments kindness
that changed
EVERYTHING

Months later, I saw him again
I thanked him
He seemed surprised one turn of phrase
had been my fulcrum
::::::::::
Love and kindness
 in the darkness
of my 8th house mineshaft
:::::
Still I wanted more 8th house clarity
symbology
and I think
lay out your aspects visually

:::::::::::::::
Look at YOUR CHART via TAROT symbology
is very insightful

Here is my natal 8 in a tarot nutshell

Love dies, I divine
  Venus – on 8 death- square Neptuner

ACE

Whammy love squares to Neptuner.
Enter fog, confusion, illusion and delusion

What is gonna
save my ass from this train wreck ? 

My secret protection
Sagittarius in 12.

YES 
if you have Sagittarius or Jupiter in the 12th
you too have SECRET ALLIES

My first shot of Jupiter
 is my natal Jupes
lives in the 8th conjunct Venus and Fortuna.

That is, in my experience, blind luck.

Here is my whammy whiz – bang gorgeous
Jupiter chaser.

Me  and  You

With his help I transform suffering into healing
I find blessed balance.

Mermaid, interrupted.

Moon in Leo trine Uranus in Aries.  Sun in Cancer.
aka: Get creative with the mood swings, bob and weave. 

Uranus in gung ho to go Aries is focal point of a T-Square with touchie – feelie Cancer Sun and rigid Capricorn Pluto.  Mercury advances to late Cancer and is awash with angsty mental gymnastics as we hash out Venus and Saturn retro.

Be cranky or be creative ? ! ?
 Libra serves up prime grade A choice once again.  Sun trines Saturn Rx while it opposes Pluto in Cap – no the work is not perfect, just show up and do it anyway, let the chips fall where they may.  Mars in Virgo trines Jupiter in Gemini – keep the dialogue moving and open < ~ > the road is hot !

~ seriously ~ who out there has been able to concentrate lately…?!
Anyone .. ?
My brain pan is snapping, fired up and popping !  No cohesion, just can’t bring it lately (no I am not fishing) my thoughts are scattered and I am feeling the pressure.

Venus Rx steps up to the plate to quincunx Pluto Rx in Cap.  Oy.  Adjustment – always a fun one, growing pains all over the shop : adaptation, improvisation with the past loves and creative juices morphing into our future. Not going fast enough is it…?  (Pluto squares Uranus after all.)   Hang tough.

Are we all getting our messages from the past yet ?  (South Node dovetailing between Venus and Jupes in Gem)

I got mine twice over, nice.  A couple of sweet little biscuits delivered straight to my heart in the middle of the minefield (yes, Venus and Jupiter rule sweet things) to help keep some hope alive. bless xo

Delusion is so last week – now Sunlight shines on Neptuner Rx and that is bringing the insightful goodies, thank the goddess !  It is about time.  May blessings be with you and your insights as well.


Rough week here.  Got in a fight at work today – was actually yelling.
Return of Tentacle Dude, sheesh the fuqers grow BACK.

I need that hermit job, stat !  Where do I sign up ?. lol

Seriously, though – the square tightens – do not engage.
Protections in place.
Lock & Load.

Delusional dilemmas are often so brilliantly deciphered in a sharp one card reading.
Here is mine from the Fairy Ring TarotI actually did a whole spread, but the first card told me all I needed to know right off the bat.

Venus Rx + Neptune Rx.

I have been giving all my head space to Uranus Pluto since they conjunct Sun in my natal, then the universe steps in …pssst… Neptune is your biggie, ya know, and Venus is squashed between the other 2 in progs.  Venus and Neptune don’t vibe well in my natal either, and the screws are turning. 

Neptune and Venus Retro are squaring up now, for all of us.  Luckily they do so in mutables, so we can adapt and change easier.  Venus is nearing Jupes by retrograde as well, and that is beneficial if not more than a little scattered in Gemini. 

Heads up for your messages from the past…just remember Venus stations direct at 7 degrees on the 27th – don’t expect real clarity  until it is out of shadow at 24 degrees of Gemini.

Venus conjunct Jupiter with one of my Leos.
His sister was on the ground getting all up in my business while I was snapping away.

I have Venus conjunct Jupiter in Leo 8, square Neptune (film).
Sun/Uranus/Pluto in Virgo (pets).
Venus (art) is conjunct lucky Jupiter now, so no surprise I got lucky and mister handsome cat showed up for his moment of glory.

Venus rules love + friendship and these two (along with previous pets) have names that mean friend. They (brother and sister) are my buddies, they come when I whistle.
My Mercury (whistling & siblings) at MC sextiles Jupiter in Leo.

Friend in daylight.
Good kitty !

Your Taurus house is getting an influx of positive as is Virgo and Capricorn.
*Tangible luck and progress*
Saturn is quintile Pluto, inner power and spiritual gifts align with ambition !

This is our contribution to creating art on the material plane, are you creating as well..?
Contacting your friends to tell them you care..?  Playing lotto..?
Which reminds me, gotta go ~>

I have mentioned before Venus rules sweet things and I am off to find green M&M’s, score some scratch-off’s.
Wish me luck !

Nikki Giovanni

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to hear one of my favorite poets, Nikki Giovanni speak recently ~ she was dazzling, vivacious, insightful, bawdy and very direct !

I knew she was a Gemini, but I couldn’t wait to get home and look up more details about her chart and the life she described so vividly.
Nikki is a life path 3.  This indicates a life of creation, expansion, exploration, reconciliation and communication.  Nikki is a Gemini Sun, Leo Moon with Cancer rising which makes Moon her chart ruler.

First thing I notice is the majority of her planets fall into the Eastern hemisphere – she is in a sowing incarnation and is in control of her life circumstances.

Second thing I notice is the lack of difficult (square, opposition) aspects between the planetary bodies.  (Scroll down to the key to see her squares to Chiron, ASC and MC)  Her one opposition is between the planet of poetry, Neptune, and Mars (power) elevated, in Aries the sign Mars rules.  Mars in 10th is a powerful placement, it indicates a strong, self-assured go-getter in life and career. (10th is the natural house of Capricorn where Mars is exalted.)

Nikki has some whopping powerful conjunctions as well. (…possibly why the universe cut her some slack on squares and oppositions..?..)  Sun conjunct Saturn makes Nikki serious and purposeful in speech (Gemini) and, in fact, all forms of communication.

Moon (chart ruler) conjunct Pluto, brings a powerhouse of intense emotional experiences, which in Leo, WILL (Leo motto) be channeled into creative endeavors.

Oddly, the universe pitches me another Venus conjunct Jupiter person this week, YaY !
Not only is the fabulous aspect in the sky above us (in the Grand Earth $$ Trine I talk about here) (and here), I have it (Leo), Smokey Robinson has it (Aries), and so does Nikki (Cancer) – odd that, everyone pops UP all at once …!

Cancer rising with Venus conjunct Jupiter (Jupiter is exalted in Cancer), shows tremendous sensitivity and compassion for others, great depth of generosity and kindness.

Nikki also has Mercury conjunct (out of sign) Uranus, its higher octave, which gives her keen perceptive abilities.

Leo is packed, so Nikki is firey and dramatic, she easily captivates her audiences, rousing emotions and stirring minds with her expressive words and ideas.  She is a Gemini and, yes- she talks with her hands (Gemini rules the hands) as well, so I included this small pic.

I left Lilith for last, because Nikki made such an impression on me when she spoke of courageous women in her life, those women she admired and proudly praised for being leaders in the civil rights movement.  She spoke of heroines that not only inspired her generation, but all generations following.  The women she spoke of included Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Coretta Scott King to name a few.

Nikki has Lilith conjunct Venus (females) and it is placed in a very powerful rolling conjunction ~ Lilith in her case is a firey reactive goddess that springs from the creative depths to shine a light on social injustice.

let the music take your mind

Smokey.
Love Smokey.  He is soOo smooooth…

Smokey Robinson is a 29 degree Aquarius Sun, Cancer Moon.  Strong placement for a crooner, as Moon rules Cancer, and is in square to his Venus (rules Taurus the throat) Jupiter conjunction in (Mars- ruled) Aries.  Vocal power and inner restraint.

Smokey has Uranus in Taurus which gives him great vibrato.  Neptune (inspired musician) also trines Uranus in Taurus (throat).  Cancer Moon is trine Aquarius Sun and Mercury in Pisces – expressing his loving nature through song and voice comes natural to him as Mercury in Pisces and Neptune in Virgo are in mutual reception.

Mars in Taurus conjunct Saturn in Aries gives him great vocal control and Mars (sex) and Saturn are square (inner tension) Pluto (sex) in Leo (creativity). Pluto is also trine his Venus Jupiter (big love) conjunction in Aries (Mars ruled) and let’s face it, Smokey’s songs deliver the sexy sexOhhhyeahhh…

This one goes out to my brother Jeff who loved this song and turned my high school bff into a doe-eyed puddle when he sang it to her, lol.

let’s flow, let’s gliiiiide ~

spirit & what matters

The Faeries Oracle – Brian Froud

stones: fluorite, prehnite

Quick reading for the day…
How do we best work the grand earth trine energies to the highest possible good of all ?

One Card Draw
36: Spirit Dancer:  Freedom of creative exploration and self- expression

This is a card of growth and experimentation, a vibe of expressing and expanding.
She is a card of discovery and depth of insight – for she sees what she awakens in others.  Spirit dancer indicates a time of creative personal power and releasing our inner core into the material plane.

Spirit Card
30: The Laume:  Freely giving and receiving, charity and generosity, good karma

This is a card of free energy exchange, balance, and paying good forward.  It is a card of being loving and giving, random acts of kindness and treating others as you wish to be treated.  The Laume gently reminds us that kindness is its own reward, and universal flow rights all imbalances. If you are spiritually stuck and feeling low, give unto others and the spirit of all earthkind will be lifted, and your own balance restored.

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

Very apt reading with Luna in Libra ~
The grand earth trine (steady, dependable long- term growth) and North Node in Sagittarius (the hopeful philosopher) support our explorations on the material plane.

Neptune (inspired creativity, spirituality) trine Saturn (earth, work, building) and sextile Venus conjunct Jupiter (super creative, kindness and generosity) is a very powerful aspect of divine creativity and channeling spirit into matter !

Moon (emotions) has some difficult aspects (opposite Mercury/Uranus + square Pluto) and Mercury nears retrograde, so communication energies are shifting ~

Work the earth trine, show patience and grace under pressure, turn inward for inspiration – for inspiration IS forthcoming lickety – split ~>
