Relax.
Everything will resolve itself in time. This is the way of the world. This is the way of Zen. Walk through life without stress or strain, and everything will return to its place.

For the purpose of this post – the above symbolizes – me and whomever.
I’m just going to go ahead and say it.
I don’t get along well with many women.
I really don’t get along with people in general.
The astrology of Popularity here: Lionization.
It shows in my natal.
Moon (public) opposite Neptune in 11
8th house Venus (others) conjunct Jupiter (lots of others) in square to Neptune 11
Sun (self/eg.me) conjunct Uranus (groups/society) conjunct Pluto (struggle) in 9
I have tried getting around it…
I thought maybe being online not directly dealing face-to-face with people that my energy would be better received.
Not so.
Especially having Sun/Uranus/Pluto in 9 aka The Internet.
I have power, respect my power, show my power and am typically:
1 ignored
2 power-tripper magnet
I outlined the herstory of Uranus Pluto (Sun) before here on Serenity Now.
Right now Saturn is square natal Venus and I am frankly, over it.
The combo of recent astro to my natal is a mofo titan trip – Ballroom Blitz.
My saving graces are:
1. North Node in Aries – I will keep going no matter what anyone thinks or says.
2. I am Capricorn rising, Saturn-ruled (fall in Aries and retrograde) with Saturn trine Mars.
Saturn and Mars are men. (Sun also)
As a rule, we get along just fine.
Less games, less competitive BS.
I can be who I am without them getting all judgmental & up themselves like prissy drama queens when I stand in my power.
Strong women who have enough confidence in themselves to accept and in fact applaud another woman’s power in their presence ?
We also get along just fine.
I know what I’m doing. I study and hone my craft, and I know if another is lacking in the remedial basics but being a blowhard power-tripper despite it.
Gone.
You dug your own grave.
I have only so much patience for rampant ignorance.
You don’t like me – find the door.
It is what it is.
I for one, am looking forward to Saturn the hell out of Scorpio.

Dance of Destiny
Seventeen degree Mars is square both North and South Node of Destiny.
Much more on the Nodes of the Moon here.
Mars is exalted in Capricorn, going great gusto (even if behind the scenes on a waning moon in Libra) driving the engines of our lives with personal power and desire to not only live – but also thrive.
Traditionally North Node of Destiny in the natal is where we are headed, it is Jupiter in nature of expression, we learn new things on the ever-expansive learning curve. South Node of Destiny is where we are living repetition, it is the well-worn path of been there, done that, it seems stagnant and predictable, more Saturn in nature of expression.
While we watch Nodes of the Moon traverse the wheel in our lives, they indicate where the current phase of expansion is indicated. North Node is in Libra, interp here.
What I find interesting is that Mars is not only charring away exalted in Capricorn, but also rules the Aries South Node.
Venus rules the North Node where Saturn (past experience/diplomacy) is exalted.
This speaks of the desire to finish past work on the emotional home front (Moon). Love and money balance/trades, releasing the past and working toward the future.
We want it now !
There is work to be done – find/build the balance you seek. Finish the old, take what you need to create a better future and move on.
The past only defines you as much as you let it.
You define you.
Every single moment holds a new chance.
Madame Endora’s Fortune Cards
Here is the card I drew to lead us into our future…an item that has deep significance and is worn as protection in spiritual matters. Claim your talisman, send it energy, keep it close day and night, it will become stronger with you.
Mars in square to Destiny’s calling equals creative tension between past/now/future. It also indicates rock hard determination and endurance over the long haul.
Easing the friction is the only way we truly grow. Trines, sextiles are grease to the wheel – but the hard aspects like squares and difficult conjunctions really make us sweat the labor, get it done.
No matter what has happened in your past, gather your hopes and dreams for the future and get to work on achieving them today Mars is behind you all the way !

Hands-on Healing
Mary-El Tarot
Upcoming Chiron direct has led me to dig a little deeper into healing.
Good healers tend to have the Sun in a fire sign or Scorpio. Uranus and Neptune strong indicate absent or faith healing, the kind of healing used in reiki attunements across time and space.
Naturopaths are strong in Virgo and Scorpio, they tend to have natal charts that show adaptability and magnetism. Magnetic healers tend to have Scorpio strong at birth, with Sun or Rising, or Neptune in good aspect to Venus and Mercury, Jupiter trine Moon, or Mars in the 12th in good aspect. Also note hands are Mercury ruled.
Symptoms of the ill often fluctuate with the magnetics of both the body and the earth, worsening at night when the Moon (feeling) is the stronger luminary force. Also because healing often is taking place with the assistance of another, know that those with harmonious rising signs/6th house/Saturn aspects will indicate compatibility and therefore, greater healing exchange. The energies will support one another, allowing greater trust, energy exchange and speedier healing to occur.
I drew a card with the question:
What need we know to help us heal with Chiron’s direct motion ?
We must free ourselves from the prisons of our own minds. The reverberations of doubt that echo must be shaken. Change your perspective, see your situation from a different vantage point. Perception shifts will open the door to knowledge that will change you forever. Keep your eyes on the outcome, not the distractions that slow your progress. Know thyself. Be true to your brave heart.
Chiron moves in square to Sagittarius Venus, quincunx Uranus in Aries. Higher seeing experience/knowing meets fresh new mindsets ala Aries. Be the change.
Next question:
Easier said that done. How do we begin to go about it?
Know their are wheels within wheels of Fire. Creation, destruction, transformative power manifested on the material plane so we may experience and grow. This is the hero’s journey we call life. Inspiration, sweat, blood and tears that form and shape the energy of our souls. We live, we learn.
Rise above everything, see the world from a divine perspective. This is you and your life: falling on occasion, once again rising to meet your destiny, your true greatness.
Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars.

Finding the Navel
Chiron Direct 13 Pisces November 23
Chicago 5:45pm
Edinburgh 11:45pm
November 24
Wellington 12:45pm
Pisces Chiron stations Direct in square to Sagittarius Venus, in sextile to Capricorn Pluto, quincunx Aries Uranus. Balance is sought, the opportunity to cultivate harmony via transformative relationship work is favored. Houses Sagittarius, Pisces, Aries feel the stress & make adjustments.
This Venus operates healing through Sagittarius realms of higher learning, independent thinking, philosophy and adventures far and wide. Note I am not only referring to physical travel, for Sagittarius Venus takes creative mental vacations as well.
Be Visionary.
We address values, compare and contrast healing methods/situations. What energies help/hinder, heal/wound – and by that, yes I mean people. Venus sees sides, Pisces Chiron has none, save One. That which is formless and that which is tangible begin to shift into balance with Chiron moving direct. We have to relate to others, how best to do so when the energies clash ? Venus says find the middle, the navel, the love/peace.
We feel/see from where the change needs to come, adaptation/improvisation are working inventive solutions (Chiron quincunx Uranus). Sacrifice of one thing will lead to the growth we need elsewhere – aka healing. Transformation of health/character will lead to healthy regeneration.
Chiron stationing quincunx Aries Uranus – we KNOW what needs healing, where the wound is buried. This transit encourages us to find the courage to address it – head on.
Make it so.

New Moon 0 Sagittarius
Saturday November 22
6:32am Chicago
12:32pm London
9:32pm Tokyo
New Moons are yin/yang, introverted/extroverted as well as conscious/subconscious, personal /collective. New Moons are a time of intense energy focus and concentration in the sign they occur – moving both outward and inward.
Yes, Moon intakes even in a positive sign.
New Moon conjunct Sun in Sagittarius squares off with Pisces Neptune by 3 degrees, widely trines Uranus by 11. Sagittarius New Moon (particularly at 0 degrees) highlights new beginnings that have far-reaching consequences. Moon is conjunct Venus leading new emotional horizons into more harmonious territories. Refine expansions, attract reverence, wisdom.
Healing is highlighted: self-improvement and universal compassion go hand in hand.
If your compassion does not include yourself it is incomplete. – Jack Kornfield
Have the willpower to be independent in thought, you will be rewarded with this moon.
Moon first meets Sun in fire, squares Neptune in water, conjuncts Venus in fire – then trines Uranus, then Jupiter (rules this new moon) also in fire. This is a New Moon of faith – at the outset, full of blind squares aka unidentifiable internal tension which usually reads like:
I can’t
I shouldn’t/wouldn’t/couldn’t
I don’t understand why
That would never happen in a million years
Sagittarius is allergic to words without wiggle room. All mutables are.
As the moon travels we receive insight and grace, we luck into the sunshine spots and feel the gambles have worked for the best – provided we headed in with positive intent.
This new moon accentuates higher education, publishing aka internet, teaching, law, expanding horizons, and the great outdoors.
If you choose to work magick, know that it will reverberate far & wide across time & space.
In peace

Self possession
Neptune direct at 4 Pisces November 16, interp here on Tide Turns.
I found it curious that the best time to hypnotize someone is an Air Moon – particularly an Aquarius Moon. It’s an intellectual moon, mind over matter/mindset. Interesting, yes ?
What makes a subject easily hypnotized ?
Neptune.
Not too surprising is it ?
Easily swayed like the tides, emotional and permeable, Neptune is hard to get a handle on, hidden in fog, smoke and mirrors. Deception and illusion and/or the creatively inspired artist.
Tortured…?…well, that’s optional.
Those who are easily hypnotized show Negative Yin signs strong in the natal.
Negative signs are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces.
Strong negative = Ascendant, Midheaven, angles, holding luminaries and/or Mercury.
Those who are easily hypnotized have Neptune in hard aspect aka conjunct/square luminaries or personal planets showing inner conflict resolution, great build up of tension/release.
This hard Neptune is particularly dangerous for those with afflicted Neptune at ASC or in the 6th, 8th, 10th or 12th. Be cautious of water, emotions, qi vamps, hypnosis or dabbling in the occult without the good sense to back it up.
Think about these things as Neptune stations direct, for at this time more than any other, there is vulnerability – seeing around corners requires several perspective shifts and/or intense divination sessions.
Familiar.
Oracle of the Radiant Sun
This card I drew specifically for Neptune direct – to see behind the veil, around the corner and through to the heart of the matter.
Q: What do we need to know about Neptune direct that we cannot see ?
A: Defense of what is valued.
Think love, money, power and personal zen.
Stuff and things are Taurus, love and emotions are Venus which rules Taurus.
Bull-headed stubborn ownership of personal place on earth, wherever or whomever that is/or you consider it to be.
Is home four walls and a roof (TWD ref haha) or is home where the heart is ?
Or have you given up on love and chosen career instead ?
Work to defend and protect what you truly value.
Only you know.
Look to your natal Venus (lower octave of Neptune) for clues.
Also note that Venus moves into Sagittarius soon after Neptune stations direct (click Tide Turns above) and that means Scorpion possessiveness gives up the ghost for more adventurous travels.
Late Venus Scorpio is richly saturated in sexual power, self-possession aka internal metamorphosis.
Make it work !
Look also to your natal Taurus house as well as natal Mars.
Note also Mars is in Capricorn, an earthy achievement sign which considers itself for good reason to be the Big Kahuna. Mars is exalted in the sign of work, career and achievement.
