Energy SNAP

LUVISI

Amazing the depths to which we are delving, amazing the revelations this astro is bringing to the surface, yes ..?

Friday October 5th
3:34pm CST, USA

Saturn will roll into Scorpio while Pluto is ripping up Capricorn.

They will be in each other’s ruling houses, they disposit one another, they are in mutual reception

In other words, their energies are online to each other via the red hot phone.  The energies naturally ‘get’ each other and these two houses (Capricorn and Scorpio) will be working together.  Pluto will be metamorphing all things olde skool Capricorn in that area of your chart, while Saturn will be testing, perfecting and deepening your Scorpio experience in that area of your chart.

These two planets are sextile right off the bat. Opportunity is gonna be knockin’ in early Cap & Scorp – but you will have to make it work  !
:::::::::::::::::
Since wildcard Uranus is also involved – in a whammy square with Pluto – with a dose of Mars power backing it up, I thought it would be a good time to go over some energy protections.

I am of the heart and mind that being prepared is savvy.  Ya dig ?

In the next few posts I will be addressing energy.
How to harness your own energy, keep your power with you, and how to shield yourself from negative energies of others – – –  but first, we clean !

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Energy clearing: 

Set your intent  to clear and clean the energy.

Clear all clutter
emotional, spiritual and physical.


Eat and drink foods that are healthy and exercise. 
Seems obvious, but it needs to be said – foods that take longer to digest will drain your energy.  Your body is your machine, your vehicle – treat it well.


Earth: Salt bath for yourself,
salt the perimeter of your property.  Salt is a crystal (Halite) that cleanses and purifies by absorbing negative energies.  (Other forms of evaporates are Calcite and Gypsum, these may also be placed in a room to clear and clean the energy.)  If you use it inside, you may want to wait 24 hours, then scoop it up – clean and clear it in the sunshine, for re-use.

Earth: Crystals can be worn or placed in a room for their cleansing properties.  Generally stones vibrate with their color spectrum, otherwise I recommend Love is in the Earth by Melody or The Book of Stones by Simmons and Ahsian.  Trust your intuition – your instincts will tell you what stone is right for you in each situation. You can find some stone info from my collection here.

Air: Smudge with sage as this increases the negative ions.  More smoke means less negative ions are present – go over all areas (including closets, cupboards) going through each room ending in an open window so the energies can escape.  You can do this over your whole property if you wish.

Air: Bells, drums, chanting, voice.  All these will clear the energies in a room, clapping into the corners to clear them is pretty old school, but it works.  I usually ring a bell at the start of any divination or magickal work.  Bells can also be used to clean and clear crystals.

Fire: Candles are always present in my studio, as fire increases negative ions.  Color code candles to suit your specific needs.

Water: Hydrate yourself and your environment.  Humans are over 70% water, keep hydrated so the electrical system of your body animal functions properly.  Dry air is an indication that there are too many positive ions present, humidify your space if needed.

cosmic balancer

 Justice RW

Mercury in Libra, brings diplomacy and balance to thinking and all forms of communicating.

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign (initiating intellect), Mercury (dual in nature) rules both the Air sign of Gemini and the Earth sign of Virgo.

Mercury (neutral) in Libra (positive) is strong of mind, esthetically sharp.

Mercury in Libra thinks creatively, the senses and perceptions are heightened and tuned towards love and balance.  Touch and gestures are keenly perceived and processed quickly and critically.

Diplomacy reigns supreme.  When Mercury lives in Libra, social graces, harmony and a dose of charm is the key to dealing with others.

Ineffective, low qi Mercury in Libra tends to vacillate, flip-flop on nearly every decision, be overly critical, judgemental, gossipy and glib.

Hi qi Mercury in Libra is friendly, fair, clever, witty, alert and shares ideas and conversation with others.

Mercury in Libra seeks to find balance between all four corners of the world – the wheel of life.  Justice is karma, the cosmic balancer – life, death, Earth and Astral Planes (Saturn – earth- is exalted in Libra), above as well as below, within as well as without.

Mercury in Libra – she weighs and she strikes without social conventions – that is hi qi Mercury – neutral, fair and perfectly balanced.

…may balance be ours…

Personas Purge

Arthur Hugot

While mowing the yard (Mars blade) ideas (quintiles Uranus in 9) were popping like corn with every step…  Everyone swirling around with us on our big blue ball is experiencing Aries Uranus square Pluto in Capricorn.

What houses they fall in determine your personal experience.  

(Look at your chart and go to the houses drop down for more on house rulerships – the square brings dynamic tension you need to solve between the two houses/planetary energies)

Capricorn happens to be my ASC so everything I AM is undergoing metamorphosis.  This dark – new moon phase has brought me so much to process again.  There is a reason there are 7 exact hits of this square – there is much to process.  Seven is a spiritual number, philosophical and intuitive.

Have you thought that perhaps these 7 squares are collectively purging us of our fears..? 

Saturn is fear and Pluto is mining – digging deep to give the festering wounds inside fresh air so we may heal and grow.  Think about that for a minute – fear – then look to your Capricorn house and your natal Saturn.

I have Saturn Rx in Aries 3.  Fear of being unable to communicate effectively.  (Though that is not my greatest fear, not even close.)

Sibley chart for the US puts Saturn in Libra 10 in hard aspect to Sun, Mercury and Jupiter.  Capricorn on the 2nd house.  Fear of not being seen as/ being top of the world power, perhaps ?

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

Among other things, I read tarot and oracle decks to help me avoid the land mines hidden on the journey through life.  I am very good at it, have been reading since I was a teenager.

Ask your decks for insight on the squares and how they affect you.

This is my tarot/ natal chart squares mystery unraveled for me…

Weeks ago, King of Wands started showing up – I was thinking King of Wands, King of Wands, who the heck is KofW ?  No one anywhere near me was King of Wands material, then . . . aha so you’re King of Wands !  Okie- dokie.  Got it.
For the record – he’s not west coast US. He’s not from across the pond either.

King of Wands is me.
me Me ME ! 

(haha yes, Matrix)  What made me think of it this way is I was doing a spread revolving around a woman I met this summer (?).  She showed up as King of Pents – in the situation, Queen wouldn’t have garnered as much attention as KING of Pents did.  She has a grand earth trine, is the main parental figure, is very strong and very steady, it fit.

This changed my thoughts on King of Wands…sOoo all this time, perhaps King of Wands is me becoming re-aquainted with my first house self  via : Pluto in Capricorn re-vision of I AM Persona/s.  My Sagittarius Mars (Mars rules 1st) and this warrior blazing into the fray wielding the philosophical sword part of myself needed recognition and was by god/goddess rightfully claiming it. 

I am finding balance (Libra is my MC, Venus squares Neptuner) between the polarities (Uranus) of myself (Uranus conjuncts Sun – the conscious self) through my actions (Mars) of writing (Sag Mars trines Saturn in 3rd).
::::::::::::::
What has Pluto been uncovering for you ?
What ideas has Uranus been jolting you with ?
I would love to hear your insights too…!
…oh, and one more thing…hello King of Swords, now who could you be ?  lol !

may your dark mysteries find enlightenment as well…

All ONE

Book of Doors

Quickie one card reading (spirit card on the right) : intent is clarity regarding events surrounding upcoming Uranus / Pluto square, leading to highest most benevolent outcome for all of us.

I pulled a couple of fortunes too, they are in synchronization – groovy !
Act on those new ideas you are generating
Complete success in all undertakings

AAH: Family of the Moon
 MUT:  Mother.  Selfless love. (mut: the mouth, the uterus) Gestation – physical, mental or spiritual.  She is two-fold, North – South; Lady of the Two Lands. 

Her wings encompass the four directions, she contains both female and male energies, she births the twin energies of Sirius into manifestation.  Two vultures adorn her, they are sacred symbols of disintegration and regeneration. The male figures represent her generative qualities; the female and male energies as a whole are infinitely fertile and nourishing.  She holds the ankh and the papyrus scepter (uadj) symbolizing new growth, expansion and life energies.

Spirit card, crux of the matter
The NETER of NETURU
An expression of the absolute. 

Historically a standard or banner which marks a place of divinity.  They are similar to Tibetan prayer flags, which subtly emit the etheric ‘sound’ of prayers on the wind.  Sigils created with prayers develop formidable psychic powers on their own – when on banners, the symbols are offerings taken by the ‘spirit of the wind’ to a higher power, the ‘invisibles’.   The fabric itself is warp and weft – symbolizing polarities and cosmic coordination.  Neter Neturu is the concept of ALL ONE.

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

Awesome card draw for this square – for Uranus is polarites, the higher octave of Mercury – AIR.  Uranus knows what it knows without speech or written word, it is brainwaves plugged into the universal electrical field – it is ALL ONE in operation.

Personally, I am not gathering any moss lately, you ?  I am heave – ho-ing the past like mad and it feels great !  The possibilities seem endless, and the Neter Neteru accentuates this message : Anything is Possible, Anything Can Be Done.

Gestation during Dark Virgo Moon, sounds fab !
Moon comes to trine Pluto before New Moon releasing some more emo garbage on the way to fresh new beginnings – YaY !

I love how this reading is both polarities & nebulous advice to create our own future and roll with the unforseen changes.

I have Moon exalted in Toro, in 4 trine Pluto.  Creative gestation leading to positive regeneration is my Ace in the hole for too much Neptune square.  Find your ace in the hole and work it to your advantage !

Incubate your dark moon dreams – then give birth to them on or after New Moon (see link above) and they will grow strong with the growth of the Moon !

As anyone with Uranus / Pluto prominent can tell you – put yer cleats on and bob and weave baby ~>  Rapid – fire changes are imminent.

blessed be

curious cosmic meetings

Duuuude . . .this astro is aaaAamazing !

No sooner than I pass through one Nemo-ish swirling vortex of terror, here comes another.  Virgo Sun / Merc is bopping all my 9th house bells and whistles (Sun/Ura/Plu), Saturn just crossed my MC, is nearly conjunct my South Node, and most of my heavy hitters are presently Rx (Ura/Nep/Plu).  Neptuner Rx is opposite natal Venus/Jupes pffft . . .I have been taking clematis to help that opposition, otherwise quite frankly, I don’t have much time to dwell, I am too busy swimming !   YOU ?

Pluto stations direct 6 degrees Capricorn
Uranus Rx exact square Pluto

Pluto stations direct while sextile Chiron, so healing opportunities are present for the shift in metamorphic energies.  Early degrees of Aries and Libra feel the squeeze, early Cancer juggles the balancing act with another, while opportunities are present in early Pisces and Scorpio.

Pluto Rx was certainly digging up past voodoo – transforming it into Major Mojo. 

Have you also felt the release, the transformation of past obstacles into present strengths ?  It boggles if I think about it too much, I just keep working.

Speaking of work, Saturn is reaching the last degrees of Libra and wow, what a ride that was.  I was here working for a great deal of it, in addition to my full-time day job.
 (Oct 2009- Apr 2010; July 2010 – Oct 5 2012, Saturn plowed through Libra)
How did you apply yourself in the last 2 years ?  Are you wowed by all your progress ?
Amazing accomplishments, Saturn brings.

Saturn into Scorpio

More on Saturn later…now a bit of Pluto…
:::::::::::::
So this evening, I am nursing my cat’s wound, when my Saturn incense slid off this box and fell down behind in a crack – I wasn’t anywhere near it, it had been sitting there for weeks.  I had to move things to get it out.

SoOo. . . knowing that Saturn is nearly on my South Node (past) I knew it was a sign, I had to go digging for some info.  I found it.  My Dad had Uranus Rx exact conjunct my Toro Moon.  When my Dad was dying, I was watching something, humming along with it quietly when I last felt my Dad’s presence in his physical body.

Let me explain . . .I love astrology, I love reading the language of signs, symbols and portents.  Someone that I have become more interested in lately – simply for curiosity’s sake – has a very interesting conjunction with my Dad and me.  Saturn/Jupiter, to be exact. Their conjunction is exact conjunct my Moon (and my Dad’s Uranus Rx) which is trine my Pluto.   (Transiting Sun is exact on my natal Pluto now.)

Pluto is death.
They each were near me when the other one metamorphosed for the last time.

I saw this astrosynch tonight, cried. WoW tears, not sad tears.  Really just quietly freaking at the cosmic unity of the aspects and meetings in the synastry.

Feeling the Pluto shift, so I am writing about death and synchronicities (Uranus) via astrology aspects.  My Dad has Scorpio North Node, 15 degrees.  I find this significant when I think about a psychic’s revelation to me a couple of years ago.  I will not reveal more, other than to say I am wondering what I said in 3rd grade that was so moving.  Curious.  Very curious.

…more soon…just keep swimming !

My Loyal Subjects

Leo Moon !
I could hear the gears turning in kitties heads as I left for work …
We’re gonna be on tv, right ? 
Better !  – internet, worldwide.
Yay !  *puffs out chest*

Leo moon is great for over the top pleasure pursuits, instinctive creative bursts (though a bit fluctuating), playing the drama queens / kings card and basically stealing the show.

The WILL is keyed up by emotions of Moon – solar power is applied to whatever or whomever is fancied in a fun, snazzy, flirtatious, full-throttle, life-affirming way.

Leo Moons like, no – NEED – attention like air, food and water – they thrive on it ! 

Leos have a flair for fun and when the emotions are involved they are like kids in a candy store, grabbing all the goodies of life with gusto, playing and having a blast.  If you have the affections of a Leo Moon, they will likely surprise you with thoughtful gifts, for Leos are generous and giving – shining solar light wherever they go.

They are proud, regal and chivalrous – feelings easily hurt – solar and lunar reflections are in this house – so don’t poke fun at their haircut or how they look if you want to stay on their good side.  Leo Moons can be very vain. Exactly why Leo Moons are great for snazzing up the daily routine with some dazzle and sparkle, and strutting your stuff !

Shine ON babes – you look fabulous
