I mentioned in Drum of Truth we have Venus conjunct Uranus incoming !   Venus is coming up on Uranus Feb 28 – March 4.  This is a heck of an aspect when backed by Aries/Martian power.

What may we expect you ask ?  
With Uranus all bets are off – higher octave of the trickster, it’s a wildcard.

Those born with Venus conjunct Uranus KNOW it delivers a surfeit of surprises.  Wildly creative, but will not be restrained in any form or fashion.  Love comes in an incredible rush/often abandoned in a nanosecond.  Incredibly magnetic/repellant due to the electric polarities of Uranus.

See this aspect and know these people cherish change in a myriad of forms.  Radically sensual and wildly flirtatious Venus conjunct Uranus is attracted to anything unknown, new, innovative.  Uranus rules the ankles, Venus attracts, showing a bit of skin or flash here will turn their heads.

Venus conjunct Uranus has the uncanny knack of being in the right place at the right time for love/money/creative opportunities.  Due to the fact that Venus rules relationships and Uranus fellowship, these people have an aptitude for herding friends from all walks of life – the weirder, the better.

These folks are curious about love in all its forms of expression, though they can be a bit emotionally detached preferring intellectual stimulation instead.  Give them plenty of room to roam, for freedom is absolutely essential, they will not be fenced or herded.  They KNOW if you are feeding them a tired old line trying to seduce or flatter – instead, go do your own thing – works a charm !

Ultimately this is an aspect of bohemian creativity/love and that means money (Venus) is also likely to come in fits and starts.  They have a take it or leave it interest in cash – humanitarian ideals and social consciousness are at the forefront of their minds.  They create social change wherever they go.

The way to their heart/affections is through their cerebrum.

Many things are in unison at the moment:
Creativity/energy, affection/action, charm/risk via Venus/Mars in Aries
Spirit/subconscious, awareness/healing, ambition/devotion via Sun/Neptune in Pisces

Mars trine Saturn loves to work the kinks out, esp with Mars ruling Aries.  Saturn in Sagittarius  squaring the subconscious combo of Sun/Neptune seeks the tap-root, the wellspring, the bud of the bud.  Here we swim in the deep waters of what we need to face under the light of the Sun, but often don’t.  Healing comes in a rush with these planets at work.

Leo Jupiter Rx trine Uranus while Aquarius Mercury opposes Jupiter turns on the electric vibe, the flash inspiration of Knowing (Aquarius motto) our path though Seeing the path (Jupiter retrograde) at this time may prove difficult.  Thinking communication planets are in peace talks with each other.
Hope vs. jettison.  In fixed signs no less – not an easy answer, this one – but it will arrive in its own time, nonetheless.

Instinctively we know where we are headed (Aries) and love is in the lead.
Venus is coming up on Uranus Feb 28 – March 4, we’re all in for a powerful surprise enlightenment re: love/money/creative spark.
Roll with it….it is what it is.

Many things are changing, the Pole Star remains – guidance in tandem with those who are seeking the spirit.  Truth at the core, connection with the cosmos, a new friendship, a gift, a creation.
The Pole Star brings luck and with Mercury exalted in Aquarius we can be assured the intellectual distance from emotional baggage we need so we can hear our heart beating our drum of truth within.

Keep the faith…whatever that means to you

A journey across the stars and heavens through antiquated astronomical diagrams.

I unearthed some dusty old scientific textbooks in my father’s attic, and immediately became inspired by the delicately rendered diagrams, plots and schemata. These purely scientific visual aids became unwitting artworks on their own, which is something I really loved.

The short animation explores pathways through astronomy’s roots, dating back to antiquity with its origins in scientific, mythological and astrological practices.  kimoni

Upcoming whammy Full Moon in Scorpio – it’s conjunct Saturn while trine Jupiter in Cancer also trine a Chiron Part of Fortune conjunction in Pisces.  Virgo Rising with Mercury MC, PoF smack on DC at Full Lunation.

First and foremost, you can count on lots of bubbling psychic spring waters and a fair bit of mud surfacing with this full moon – meaning deep soul mining & plenty of processing – heads up !  
Focusing on thoughts & organization of them, how to effectively heal ourselves and others in one swell foop.  We carry the past with us, regenerating it into our future.

We are still dealing with Mars Rx in another thinking sign fascinated with relationships.
Retrograde slowing to station feels like quicksand – balance and bonds are in deep.
We get  s  t  r   e    t    c     h     e      d  like a rubber band ready to SNAP – PoP !

Full Moon spotlights Saturn body issues, also authority, the past and time.

Those who deal with me
must have the Patience of a Saint – I KNOW this.
 In my case, Achilles tendon and bone issues, now fatigue.  As transiting Neptune closes the square to my natal Mars – the low energy I DO have drains right outta me.
I am working on everything, trust.  I am just moving slower.  Truly, thank you kindly for your patience.  

As this moon grows to full, it encourages cultivation of deep patience with ourselves, others and relationships of all kinds – but with eyes and ears open wide.

Personal and joint power and energy exchanges are struggling, switch-hitting, ultimately SURVIVING.

photo 52Right things at the right time in the right space.
Perfect timing is a continuum, a meeting that Always IS.

Venus is conjunct Uranus at lunation.
Many doors close – many doors also swing open.
This may be your revolving door coming back around – only You KNOW.

Mercury in Gemini sextiles Venus / Uranus, so yes a bit tricky – but opportunistic.
Deep undercurrents flowing under this lunation – houses Scorpio & Taurus seek compromise.
What we Desire and what we Have.
Promises made, word given & kept.

Mars Rx in Libra opposing Venus and Uranus in Aries both grate against focal Pluto in Capricorn.

Use of Power over Time – Moving Electrical Current in Relationships.

The best relationships that last the longest SHARE power, cyclically, in constant exchange and flux.
Obviously, I know we want change RIGHT NOW, and we will be working to get it both personally and globally as Moon reaches full – but know the greatest part of this work is … silent & deadly & rebirthing behind closed doors.

I happen to LOVE Capricorn Pluto energy, I am digging this intensity and learning SO MUCH about myself and others during this lunation.

This Moon reaches full on my Neptuner
and honey I am feeling every bit of it.
Scorpio Moon all over me across vast reaches of space & time altitudes & attitudes.
You know who you are.  Hang tight.

Bones of Nature.

A man finds an animal skull among the bushes.   Look to your Natal Saturn, reality sharpens, solidifies there with this Full Moon in Scorpio.

REALITY.

This was a lovely surprise (Uranus rules surprises) gift from a stranger.
A slice of giant astronaut film.
How cool is that ?!
Exactly.

You know what’s cooler …?
I went back and checked the astro of Star Trek exhibition day ~
Venus (gifts) was conjunct Uranus (astronauts / aerospace).

Moon was tightly conjunct Saturn in the last degrees of Venus ruled Libra.
I bought my Mom (Moon) a tribble (a cooing fuzzball – I’m going with Venus rules) for Valentines (Venus rules Libra, love and gifts) and she’s a Capricorn (Saturn rules).

She of course, loved it !  She is the original trekkie in our house.
She made me the model ship and hung it in my bedroom when I was little.
She bought me the little action figures and we watched the cartoon.

(In our composite Jupiter -expansion- is tightly conjunct Uranus)
Jupiter amps up the space geek wattage, lol.

Mom even bought me Captain’s Logs years ago – I drug it out of my bag for the car trip over, and my friend cracked UP at the unabashed nerdiness.
My friend was secretly relieved I didn’t dress as a Klingon, lol.
No – not Klingon – obviously
  I’m from Betazed.   hahaha !

Roddenberry asteroid 4659 is exact conjunct my 11th house Neptuner – hilar – Incredibly apt for a life long Trek freak !

…so back to the fellow at the museum, he saw me snapping shots of the giant reels at the museum and thought I might like a slice.  I totally like !

Sun (rules generous Leo) was quintile (special talents, expression) Jupiter (lucky gifts, explorers) in the sky that day.
Your kindness was very sweet, thank you !
(Venus and Jupiter rule politeness, are conjunct in my natal.)


I was a radio, tv, film major in college, but he didn’t know that.
When he found me in the lobby and gave me the slice, my Mercury MC kicked in and I blurted some quickie astro “Neptune just went into Pisces for the first time since the gold rush and my most highly aspected planet is Neptune which rules film ! !”

TMI ?!  haha oh well – I gave him this addy and went on about Gneiss metamorphic rocks, science then finally put a sock in it.  If in case – you, Mister handsome Museum Film dude – are reading…in my natal, Uranus (space) is in my 9th (exploration) house.
It is conjunct my Sun (spirit) and Pluto (metamorphs) and your surprise really lifted my spirits, thanks !

The 11th house of Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) rules birds of a feather (flight is Uranus, so is astrology), or like minded friends.  Aquarians and Uranian types are eccentric and inventive, they are the crazies on the cutting edge – they expect and offer freedom.  Aquarians are advanced in humanitarian thinking and goals (Aquarius is an Air sign, full of intuitive brainstorms- Uranus rules lightning and electricity) seeing and knowing (Aquarian motto) the value of all life on earth and in space.

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Sounds Uranian all over, curious and strange, the radical and uncharted.
In case you didn’t know, Kirk and Uhura had the first interracial kiss on network television.  ! YaY !
There is Venus (kiss) conjunct Uranus (radical & unexpected) again !

AND Uhura is derived from uhuru which is Swahili for freedom.

Whenever Uranus transits a planet in your natal expect the unexpected, it can mean a separation, a surprise, sudden messages & bolts from the blue, but most of all the unpredictable.  Consider if the aspect Uranus makes is a conjunction (power operating), an opposition (compromise with another), a trine (more harmonious) or a sextile (an opportunity).  That will give a bit of an idea where the change may come from.
Still – heads UP !

Also, I have seen in some charts Uranus in Leo, the 5th and / or in hard aspect to the Sun (Sun rules Leo, which rules the heart) can indicate a heart murmur, which is made by turbulent blood in or near your heart.
(Not in all charts, mind you, but some. Just be aware of the possibility.)

I love this, it’s only 2 minutes, and well worth your time, promise.  I found this video by following an Aquarian.  Odd the bit with the canoe parked at the edge of the water looks like the scene where Frodo breaks from the Fellowship, and leaves the shores of Amon Hen for Mordor.

Uranus rules synchronization, science as well as magnetics:
check this out (from wired) –

In particle physics, synchronized orientation is found in systems with “low noise,” in which signals are transmitted without degrading. But low noise isn’t enough to produce synchronized speeds, which are found in critical systems. The researchers give the example of ferromagnetism, where particles in a magnet exhibit perfect interconnection at a precise, “critical” temperature.

namaste, friends~

want one


and a hang too.
xo hee

Check out more songs on their webpage: Hang Playing Hedge Monkeys

A Hang or in Bernese language hand  is played with the hands.
Hands are ruled by Mercury and Gemini – Mercury is conjunct Sun in Aquarius. Aquarius rules cutie pie dreadlock hippie boys ..!

Only a few hundred hangs are made each year by one couple in Switzerland.
They are hemispheres (Uranus rules halves) of hammered steel (Mars rules steel).
Drums are Mars ruled, music is Venus and Neptune (both in Pisces now).

Venus is exalted in Pisces, and Neptune rules Pisces, so art music, films and anything mystical are fantastic seas for feel good vibes now, even more so than usual ~

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

Venus and Uranus opposite Mars Rx / Moon opposite Pluto on the wheel of life.
Flaming arrows zip ! zip !  the missives are hard to miss, yeah ?!

Are people getting in your face ?
It will pass.

For the life of me I don’t know why people are always comparing apples and oranges.  My way  is the only way  etc…  My lead singer is better than your lead singer… (Although, I must confess, I do love it when Rick Nielsen says that ! )

Why do people say things like “How will Julian ever live up to Cynthia ?”.
Well they don’t, but you get my point, right ?
See how strange it sounds ?!
Julian doesn’t have to live up to anyone but Julian Lennon.
~~~~~~~~~~~
We are all here to learn and grow and become a better version of ourselves ~
Live and let live.
We each walk our own path, ya dig ?

May the road rise up to meet you and the wind always be at your back…
Peace out ~

shiny !


Sabi Sabi

Venus in Pisces is coming to conjunct Uranus in Aries – both opposite Mars Rx.
Strange friends, odd creations / partners, unexpected kindness and bizarro ideas are up to bat !  Sounds great to me ~

Venus creeps up on the Uranus Pluto square as the Moon grows full.
The bars will be full of hot to trot loonies on the prowl, so what are we waiting for ?
?!
Full Moon soon in generous Leo… flash a smile and you may score some free drinks !
Mars is retrograde in earthy Virgo, in a tug-o-war with love and surprises – promises to be interesting…Neptune is fresh in the water and itching to party, have fun and keep one eye on your exits !

February 7
Saturn Rx: 29 degrees Libra – 8:04 am CST, USA
Full Moon 18 degrees Leo – 3:54pm CST, USA

Saturn set to go retrograde on the last degree of Libra – relationships, $$, creativity-all rewind, replay, do-over.  Someone turns shy who was outgoing, partnership terms are on the table, second thoughts – all normal for Saturn retrograde as the energy of achievement turns inward.  (Saturn direct on June 25 at 22 degrees of Libra.)

Bright shiny Full Moon in Leo ?
Good Lord, the Sun and  Moon will be shining out their @$$, lol.
And rightly so !
haha I have Venus conjunct Jupiter in Leo, love Love LOVE the cats.
Playful, creative, and friendly Full Moon coming right up !
