micro epiphanies

 


Last night I was deep in thought staring at my natal chart
::: brilliant epiphany :::
I have been studying a new form of divination
forming my own intuitive impressions on keywords.
Then it hit me.

Thunder & Lightning

It’s how I think  ::: how I KNOW 

Virgo Sun (epiphany) conjunct Uranus (knowing, lightning) Pluto (BOOM)

The natal chart can be interpreted just that easily.

BOOM Strike !

In one sentence
I described my 8, 9, 10 house aspects
in relation to the person who is involved with that house in my chart

I was STUNNED.

6 maybe 7 words encapsulated the whole thing
It’s ::: BIG :::  
but i tucked it into a nutshell – how cool is that ?

I love it when the pieces

fall. right. into. place.

micro – macro
interpretation methods : keep it simple
build up the spiral from there
sacred geometry

Astrology IS a study
it is

:: l a y e r e d ::

flip your difficult chart aspects

like vinyl to the B side
to show genius backdoor alleyways 

out of the very same difficult aspect

believe

When they ask to see your gods
your book of prayers
show them lines
drawn delicately with veins
on the underside of a bird’s wing
tell them you believe
in giant sycamores mottled
and stark against a winter sky
and in nights so frozen
stars crack open spilling
streams of molten ice to earth
and tell them how you drink
a holy wine of honeysuckle
on a warm spring day
and of the softness
of your mother who never taught you
death was life’s reward
but who believed in the earth
and the sun
and a million, million light years
of being

ACE.

Sun, Mercury, Mars in Taurus. Capricorn Moon, Saturn in Virgo.

Very grounded.
Awesome.

 He was electrocuted onstage in Florida in December of 1976.
Ace nearly died – yet he finished the show.
Earth peeps do have stamina.

Transiting Uranus (electricity) in Scorpio opposite Taurus stellium.

Transiting Saturn Rx (delay / also in this case, ungrounded metal) conjunct natal Pluto (death) in Leo, square natal Mars (accidents) in Taurus.

Transiting Pluto conjunct (4 degrees) natal Neptune (which quintiles natal Venus) in Libra.

 Transiting Sun, Mars, Neptune opposite natal Venus in Gemini (polarities / pairs).

Transiting Venus in Aquarius (electricity, polarities) square natal Mercury (rules Gemini/ hands) in Taurus.
:::::::

Aces in the hole.

Ace had Sun (life, benefic) transiting his solar 8th house (death).
Transit Venus (benefic) in the house of Aquarius (electricity).
Transiting Jupiter Rx (luck) was re-applying to his Taurus (Venus rules) stellium; natal Jupiter quintiles natal Venus (both are benefics).

Jaan Uhelszki, one of the founding editors at Detroit’s legendary Creem magazine interviews Ace. (full story linked below)
::::::
J U: You were electrocuted in 1976 in Lakeland, Florida. Was that before or after you wrote “Shock Me?”

A F: Before; that inspired [“Shock Me”]. That’s something like Paul and Gene don’t even talk about because they don’t want me to get any press about it. And that was a big thing—I almost died. It was a pretty traumatic experience. I mean, I had burns on my fingers. I was knocked out. [My then-wife ] Jeannette was there and I think she had a premonition about it. It was very weird.

Were you any different after you were electrocuted?

I don’t think so. A few days after I was nervous, because I remember reading that … some guy got electrocuted and he died two days later. So I’m saying, am I going to die two days later? Because that was a bad shock.

Was it painful?

Yeah. I mean, I knew it for an instant and then I blacked out. I woke up behind the amplifiers. I said, “I can’t play.” Then the fans started chanting my name and I finished the show. But I had no feeling in my hands. I don’t know how I even did it. I guess it was all *adrenalin. (source)

[*Ace had transiting Mercury (hands) trine natal Mars (adrenaline) in Taurus (stamina).]

onward through the past

. . . is the slogan on my favorite record store.  Ancient hippies, perpetual incense and music I haven’t heard before, I love it.

Dark Moon in Cancer swings up to square the  Mars / Saturn conjunction in Venus- ruled Libra while Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto Rx in Capricorn and squares Uranus Rx in Aries.

Doors are opening into the past.  

Major metamorphosis involving relationships, women, mothers, money, exchanges of energy and love, dynamics around work, men and how to balance past and present are all in hyperdrive ~>

What do we choose to molt, shed, or cleanse ourselves from ?  

Deep well of psyche is reached during Cancer dark moon.

Primal instincts take over.
We shelter and cocoon, germinate underground.  We follow our gut.
(Cancer rules stomach)

Cancer is the womb and the tomb.

This T-Square is a call to reach deep within, identify old feelings and jettison those that do not serve our highest good.

Cancer rules Moon and fluctuation, she pulls the tidal waters aka feelings in our physical bodies.

Think of yourself as Captain of your ship (body).

Your crew (cells) are depending on you to guide them well from the cradle to the grave.

Make it so.

Renaissance point

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci was an amazing Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer.  and that is just scratching the surface…

He conceptualized a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, the double hull and outlined a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics, and drew one of the first scientific drawings of a fetus in utero. (wiki)

Taurus Sun with Toro Venus in applying trine to Neptune in Libra at MC, genius creative expression !  Sagittarius rising – expressive and expansive – Jupiter is in Pisces 3rd of learning conjunct Moon.

Aquarius Mars trine Saturn exalted in Libra 10th: Leonardo was an idea machine – invent, conceptualize, research, sketch, design and build futuristic machinery.

The illustration below seemed appropriate for the Uranus, Pluto, Venus T-square.
Freaky drawing of coffin contraption with gyroscope !  ?
Dunno, is weird and fascinating whatever it is.
::::::::::

Eighth house Pluto and Uranus – highly observant – he learned anatomy in detail through dissecting cadavers (Venus quintile Pluto).  He drew detailed bone studies, and the pregnancy drawing you see above, as well as detailed drawings of architecture, water devices, animals, faces of rage, deformities, and machines of his own design.

Saturn in 10 wants to know how everything works, Neptune at MC absorbs the world like a sponge.  Neptune and Saturn in 10 are both opposite Aries Mercury in 4. Mercury trines Leo Pluto – he certainly changed the world through creative expression.

Curiously, most of Leonardo’s writings are in mirror-image cursive, perhaps it was easier because he was left-handed, or maybe it was for reasons of secrecy, perhaps both, no one knows.

As you can see, his drawings and sketches were extremely detailed and highly researched – Virgo precision at MC and Aries Mercury in trine to Pluto in Leo.

The animation above delineates the sacred geometry of the golden rectangle, which is more easily seen in colored portions below.

Da Vinci and others (including the architect Palladio) helped to revive this knowledge of sacred geometry and its application after the so-called “Dark Ages.”

Apart from the monks in Ireland, most of the older knowledge was preserved by Arabic culture that translated older Greek and Roman works into Arabic. These works were retranslated back into Latin and other European languages by scholars working in cross-cultural universities in renaissance Spain.
::::::

Study on the proportions of head and eyes

You can see above the geometry da Vinci applied to sketching human faces.  Obviously mirror image writing and building with polarities (Uranus sextile Venus in 6th) appealed with Mars in Aquarius in trine to Saturn in the tenth of achievement.

This mathematical precision (sacred geometry) is applied to Mona Lisa below, I am sure there is another for the Last Supper floating around as well.  I will look, pop into comments.

Which brings me to the point of this post. 
Mercury is numbers, counting, perceptions.
Saturn is mathematics.

Saturn
(traditional ruler of the fixed sign Aquarius)
is form and matter – the building blocks – earth plane..

Uranus is the higher octave of numbers, counting and perceptions.

Uranus is spirals.
The geometric electrical energy grid that connects all life on earth.

Which leads me to believe Uranus rules sacred geometry as well as Saturn.

Thoughts . . .?

A fun morph.

Leonardo is asteroid 3000.
Da Vinci has it exact conjunct North Node in Capricorn.

Consider Leonardo your renaissance point !

Currently Leonardo is at 10 Cancer.
Dark Moon in Cancer is at 10 degrees as I write this !
Interesting it is dovetailing into the renaissance T- Square Action, yes ?
Venus will soon follow to conjunct – she is at 6 Cancer.
xo

Just in case I haven’t pitched you enough science yet…

Rhiannon

Jan Hess

The Great Queen Rhiannon, is a Welsh Moon goddess whose name derives from two Welsh words: rhiain : meaning sleeping maiden and Annwn : the name of the Welsh Otherworld.  She is found in the medieval Welsh tales of Mabinogion, riding a swift white stallion.

Defying her parents wishes to marry an older god she did not love, she instead chose to marry the man she loved, a mortal, Prince Pwyll.  Rhiannon gave birth to a son who disappeared under the watch of six women servants chosen to tend him while Rhiannon  regained her strength after childbirth.

While all her hand servants slept, her son was taken.  Upon awakening, the terrified servants fearing for their lives, smeared blood on Rhiannon’s cheeks and claimed she  killed her son.  As punishment, Rhiannon was bade to serve seven years as a ‘horse’ posted at Pwyll’s castle gate, bearing all visitors to the castle on her back.

After serving four long years without complaint, Rhiannon was overjoyed when a farmer and his wife arrived at the gate with Rhiannon’s son in tow.  Having found him abandoned, they had lovingly raised him as their own until seeing the growing boys resemblance to his parents, they returned him at once to his mother.

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

Rhiannon, asteroid 16912, is closely linked with inspiration, dreams / nightmares, change, being steadfast in crisis, magick, horses (sacred to the Celts) and mystical birds.  The singing birds of Rhiannon were said to ‘wake the dead, and ease the living to sleep’. (see Welsh tales link above)

She also indicates strong emotions (Moon), lost loved ones and forgiveness (Neptune), life essence and powers that thrive within the depths of wellsprings and lakes.  

Also consider Rhiannon a place where you regain what you have lost.

Rhiannon’s story is said to have grown into the legend of the Lady of the Lake, the water spirit who was foster mother to Sir Lancelot and presented King Arthur with the magickal sword Excalibur.  It was commonplace for Celts to offer gifts to water spirits, especially valuables and weapons, a tradition that continues today in the form of wishing wells.  Lady of the Lake is synonymous with Lady Luck.

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

In typical Mars quintile Uranus fashion, I stumbled upon this while looking for something else, much to my delight – because I recently dreamed so vividly of a swift white horse.  When I say swift, I mean superfast – full tilt at least 80, when quarterhorses  clock 50 tops.   A wild blur of white against the dark night sky, his intent, his eyes were following me so closely . . .  when he turned to race back towards me, I saw a large gash on his flank.  I was undone – really upset, begging my companions to help us.
. . . I was thinking and feeling in terms of US . . .  hmmm . . . fascinating.

Particularly fascinating as I have Rhiannon exactly conjunct Jupiter which rules horses.

I haven’t remembered any dreams for quite some time, they were too upsetting, I asked for them to remain quiet.  Well, I am back in the saddle now – online in the stream of unconsciousness, I am dreaming of moose, white stallions, dimensional space and time travellers, I’m getting messages for friends across the world I have not met in waking life, all kinds of far out stuff.

If you are wondering where I have been – I am getting so much incoming, I am in heavy duty process mode 24/7.  This Venus Uran/ Pluto thinger is binging all my bells and whistles since they are jammed together in my progressed – it’s a wild ride baby ! !

Figuring out how to funnel the multiverse through Aries Saturn Rx in 3rd.
Chrysalis stage.
