It’s a void moon in Pisces and Uranus is trine the Mercury Venus conjunction so grab your pendulums, folks.

Uranus rules pendulums.
Mercury + Venus = love communication.
Pisces is the cosmos, divination; the Moon, intuition, receptivity.
A trine is the easy swift path between energies.

Moon enters Aries at 1:02 pm Sunday, CST USA.

A void moon is when the moon is not making any significant aspects before leaving the sign it is in.  The Moon rules feelings, intuition, fluctuation, subconscious, the public.  When the moon is adrift in the sky (so to speak) all these matters may wildly fluctuate.

Some folks say that the time of a void moon is a time to stop everything that involves judgement, signing contracts, starting projects or otherwise getting involved with decision making.    I suggest you follow your intuition where this is concerned, though I do suggest caution, after all…better safe than sorry.

Neptune is my most highly aspected planet and it falls in the 11th (natural house of Aquarius, Uranus rules) and my Sun is conjunct Uranus, meaning I get the vibes, and I go with it.  I treat most void moons as if they were dark moons, or introspective times to retreat into quiet thinking, contemplation- a time for release.

I sense it is very similar to a momentary retrograde where the moon energies take a break from going out, and instead flow inward.  It is very much like a high tide and low tide- after all moon is what brings the ocean tides.  The energies are flowing from the outside towards the inside.  Prime divination time- try it !

Above all, the Moon is intuitive so go with what you feel regarding void moons.

As a rule I get better results from a pendulum when I am not feeling well.

Here’s why : Moon rules Cancer, which rules the breast and stomach.  I have Moon (intuition) on the 4th (natural house of Cancer) in Taurus (exalted) opposite Neptune (divination) in Scorpio (metaphysics, the unseen) on the 11th (natural house of Uranus-pendulums- ruled Aquarius).  Uranus rules stress, pendulums, and my stomach issues are stress-induced with high-strung energies of Mercury (MC) and Uranus strong in my chart.  Mercury (communication) is sextile (oportunity) the 8th (unseen) and Uranus is sextile Neptune (opportunity for whammy divination), so if my vibes are outta whack, or strong Uranus action is happening- Yowsa !
Alex- “What is_____” for $500. lol

I have successfully dowsed a hidden water line in my backyard, the gender of unborn babies, and scratch-off lotto wins.  (No I won’t give you the winning numbers, lol. )

Each user generally has a particular direction for yes, no, maybe that is unique to them.  When I began dowsing, I asked which direction meant each answer and it has followed the same since- except when I change pendulums.  In which case, I ask the new pendulum for each direction/ answer when I begin.

I have used Odin stones on leather thongs, forked sticks, rods, rings.
Sacred space, reverence and purpose is the key.  I ask each time I enter sacred space what means what and move forward from there. Some pendulums differ directionally or are very fast/slow it depends on the pendulum. Each pendulum has an inherent energy signature.  Merry meet, find ways & part.

I have 3 crystal pendulums and vary the stone pendulum in accordance to the type of question being asked.  In matters of health and love I have an amethyst & rose quartz, for business I use sardonyx.  I also have a faceted clear crystal which has an energy that is off the charts ~ it is like the Ferrari of pendulums, seriously ~ quicksilver, fast and wild !

Makes sense, since Mercury is quicksilver, and Uranus is Mercury’s higher octave- facets in a gem allow for more refraction of light.  Sun is light, illumination, Mercury quicksilver communication, Uranus prisms, telepathy, Neptune rainbows and divination.

Dowsing works well with a forked stick and a ring on a string, so don’t get the impression that I am all about needing fancy stone pendulums.  Simply open your mind and your eyes to the possibilities, everything on Earth is sacred and vibrating at one speed or another…as long as it swings, it’ll work.

Check your chart for where Mercury, Uranus and Neptune fall and the aspects they make for an indication of your dowsing talents.  

Before I go, one last thing…my brother Jeff (mega- Aquarian) took me to the Wheel Bar in Estes Park, Colorado in the early 80’s where we sat and watched this giant pendulum (that I put into motion) make a spirograph drawing while we ate.
Was the coolest thing ever for 2 Uranian arty types to be doing, really.  (Uranus also rules scientific contraptions.)

This post is dedicated to my friend who has lost a friend, and to my brother, Jeff who I miss every day.

sigh…
What’s a Neptune girl to do on an Aquarian Moon when Mercury will soon pass over Venus for a quickie in Sagittarius ?
Talk, talk, talk about love ?
…but the planet of love and the planet of communication are holding hands in an apex of a biggie T-square with a Mystical Mars-y Neptooney opposition.
OooOoo and that lovely Electric Aquarian Moon is coming up to zap Neptuner within just a degree or so…
Neptune rules film, Aquarius, electricity.

~~~~~~~~~~

Did I mention Mercury and Venus are in Sagittarius ?  *loveLoveLOVE Saggos !

Transiting Mars is snug between my Venus Jupiter conjunction in Leo at the mo. and I am feelin groooOovy.

Indian Larry

Posted on by

May I introduce  a man of quality – bike builder, stuntman, and an innovator in the world of custom motorcycles, ‘Indian Larry’ Desmedt.

When he was a teenager when he bought his first motorbike, a 1939 Harley Knucklehead, for $200. He took it apart and spent the next nine months learning how to put it back together again. He later moved to California and apprenticed under hot rod builder Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, later launching his own Brooklyn-based Gasoline Alley motorcycle workshop in 1991.

Indian Larry is credited with re-popularizing the stripped down, tall handlebar, foot clutched, jockey shifted, no front brake or fender, small gas tank, open piped, kickstart only, stock rake choppers that prevailed in the 60s, before long front ends became popular.  He was old school.

~~~

Indian Larry is a life path 1.  Ones are the intial creative force, the fresh, new and innovative – raw, and powerful.

Larry is mega- Taurus with Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus – which is sitting right on top of Moon-, all in the house of slow and steady work and progress.  When Larry was younger he was convicted of bank robbery, drug addicted, and he changed his life around by conceptualizing and building old school choppers.

Venus rules not only art, but money as well.  Venus rules Taurus, in addition to Libra.  His Moon (feelings) is plunked right on top of Venus in Taurus Sun (ego, creative spirit) right there with it.   Now see the Neptune (spirituality, suffering)  in Libra (balance) in quincunx to Moon and Venus?  A quincunx indicates a change in attitude & altitude.  Larry gave up the self-destructive hedonism for a creative high.  That tattoo on his neck reads “In God We Trust – Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord – No Fear.”   The middle two lines were in reverse so that he could read them when looking in a mirror.

Saturn is trine Sun, Mars North Node of Destiny and sextile Uranus.  He channelled his rebellious streak (Uranus) into revolutionary builds (Mars, Saturn).
Mars (welding, the hammer, raw power) is conjunct North Node of Destiny in Aries, the sign it rules.  Mars is also a 1.  Headlong raw power conjunct North Node.

Sun, Venus, Mars all in square to Jupiter in the sign of innovation, Aquarius.

Those are spirit, art, and power planets in creative tension with the greater benefic, the planet of faith and expansive, exploratory ideas- Jupiter.
Obviously riding the open road on a custom built chopper of his design gave him a natural high.

Sun, Moon, Venus all in square to Pluto in Leo.  Creativity supercharged and by following his inspiration, he changed his life, and the lives of many others for the better.

Indian Larry was kind, generous, and a friend to many- we remember you well.
Peace out~>

Justice and the Peace

Posted on by

Time for a tarot oracle card reading !
Fallen Angel deck by Nigel Suckling.
One card draw to determine energies.
Spirit card at the bottom of the deck.
Intent –  best direction on the path for the most benevolent outcome for all of us~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amon : Element, Air / Planet, Moon
Seek peace from a position of strength, Amon can see the path of the past and future which is helpful in making decisions.  Amon is a great warrior if need be, but also an excellent diplomat reconciling those at odds with each other.

Botis: Element, Earth / Planet, Mars

Short term pain leads to a lasting and just settlement.  Botis bears a sharp sword of justice, cutting through confusion to reveal the root causes of disputes.  He gives the courage to make difficult choices that bring pain in the short term, but reconciliation and peace in the end.

Those born under Sagittarius Moons love the grass under their feet, wind in their hair and moonlight on their face.

Sagittarius moon goes void of course 8:30 am Sunday until it enters Capricorn at 11:30 am, CST USA.

Void of course moons are the time Moon is without any aspects while it moves from one sign into the next.
Feelings, instincts, and subconscious may feel adrift… search within for new perspectives at this time.

Sagittarians are exploratory philosophers seeking truth.
Sagittarius is my 12th house, (with Mars) so I will be working quietly on divination projects.

May you find the answers you seek in the house where Sagittarius lives in your chart as well.

Drive

Posted on by

May I introduce an extremely diverse musician who has been nominated in more categories than any other musician in Grammy history, Mr. Béla Fleck.  Winner of 12 Grammies in categories such as pop, country, jazz and crossover, Bela is a banjo virtuoso.

~~~~~~~
Keep in mind this is a solar chart, I don’t have Bela’s birth time. Planets in the signs remain the same, houses may change.

Bela is a life path 4.  Fours are all about building foundations, stability, and manifestation in the physical universe.

Bela’s intuitive Cancer Sun is quintile (spiritual gifts) his sensate (exalted) Taurus Moon.  He is firing on all cylinders conscious spirit and subconscious instincts dovetailing as he lays down every note !  This quintile is really good because Bela’s Sun is the apex (under pressure) of one of two T-Squares.

T-squares mean the apex planet feels supercharged – it forces creative solutions to manifest the planetary energy.
Sun in the natal represents the spirit, life force, creative expression from the heart.

Bela’s Sun is square (creative tension) Mars (in Aries, the sign Mars rules) and Sun is also square Jupiter (expansion, abundance) in Venus (art) ruled Libra.  Jupiter is opposite (awareness, compromise between energies) power-hungry Aries Mars.

Mars rules Aries, so it is pioneering (Aries, Mars) creative energy (Sun) expressed in a visionary, exploratory way (Jupiter).  Bela’s Mars is not only opposite Jupiter, it also sits on the decan (each 30 degree sign has 3 sub-rulers, called decans) of Jupiter meaning his Mars is steeped in visionary philosophy, luck and abundance.

Mars (drive) is also opposite (creative tension) Neptune (rules string instruments) which is on the decan of Mars.  That apex Sun sits on the Mars decan, too.  Saturn (building over time) is trine (harmony of energies) Mars.  Pluto (fire in the belly metamorph) is on the decan of Mercury, trine Mars.
Mars is also quintile the Midheaven or peak of achievements.
Why, you may ask am I going on & on about Mars…?

Mars rules drums.
A banjo is actually a drum head stretched over a tone ring.

How cool is that ?!   exactly.
*astrology takes a deep bow*

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

Bela’s second T-Square culminates in not one, but two apex planets- Mercury (communication, dexterity) conjunct Uranus (intuition, electricity [banjo], innovation).

Mercury is thinking, it’s higher octave, Uranus is knowing.  They are tightly conjunct – mainlining each other’s energies !    That’s a lightning fast conjunction of perception and polarities in the creative sign of Leo, the root of willpower.

So communication in both octaves – inside and outside the head – is on fire (leading).  Willpower, and creative self-expression is all systems go.  Day and Night.  (Sun quintile – spiritual gifts from the cosmos- Moon.)

Mercury/Uranus are square the exalted Taurus Moon (Mercury rules sound, Taurus how lovely the sound is) which is opposite Neptune (strings).

Ok, so dig this… Jupiter (visionary ideas) is conjunct North Node of Destiny which is conjunct Neptune (string instruments and the inspired artist).
And, Venus (art, beauty) is trine Jupiter, and the Node of Destiny and Neptune conjunction via the domino effect.

Ba DA Bing !

What I love about the clip below is Bela’s description of the intuitive, inspirational, creative process that comes like a bolt out of the blue ~ gotta bottle it fast , or risk losing it !

Funny, as I was going to write about Victor, the multi-award winning bass player in the Flecktones – don’t worry Victor fans, his chart will be coming later – but when I saw this clip it so perfectly expressed Bela’s tight Mercury Uranus conjunction, I switched paths when his quote inspired me.

Then I looked up the synastry.  Love this !
Bela’s drive (Mars) is opposite (awareness, co-operation) my Mercury (writing).
My Mercury is conjunct his Jupiter, Node of Destiny and Neptune conjunction.  cool.
Thanks for all the groovy tunes and inspiration~

Gremlins

Posted on by

Personally, I think gremlins are Mercury ruled – tricksy, slippery little no-see-um gremlins !
Mercury just mowed down my giant Neptuner (twangs darn near everything in my chart) while she was off daydreaming, of course.

 I have spent the greater part of the week showing the world my good side as I am retrieving something I dropped from the floor, banged my elbows on the way back up, I have spilled soup on – and broken the keyboard at work, and my modem at home that was just replaced, broke again, and I’m not even going into that 8th house BS. 
In short, posts will resume asap, Sunday with luck.

Until then, listen to how similar the sounds of Uranus are to the Solfeggio Frequencies, don’t cha think..?

Ok, how adorable is Patricia Clarkson ?!  Every movie I see her in I just love.  The Station Agent, Cairo Time, are my faves.
I just had to look up her deets ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No wonder I like her, we have good synastry…!  She has Sun, Moon, and Saturn all tightly conjunct in Capricorn all trine Pluto in Virgo, and sextile Neptune.

A quick run down of the synastry: All of Patricia’s Capricorn stuff is conjunct my ascendant.  I can’t help but love Saggos, it’s in my blood.  Her Venus is conjunct my Neptune, my Sun conjunct her North Node, her Uranus conjunct my Jupiter.

Highly ambitious, hardworking, and perceptive, she studied drama at Fordham University, where she graduated summa cum laude, and earned her MFA at the Yale School of Drama.
Patricia is cool as a cucumber and if you have seen her work, you know she is a real class act.

Mercury, Mars and Jupiter are all tightly conjunct in Sagittarius, all trine Uranus in Leo !
ta DA !  Built for the spotlight !

SoOo all the raucous fun is just busting to get out  from underneath that cool conservative Capricorn demeanor.  Venus and Neptune are both in Scorpio giving her a deep well of unseen passions that pours forth in her work.
Patricia’s Scorpio Venus is square Uranus in Leo, lightning bolt passions !

Here’s the 7 minutes in Heaven interview that led me on this merry chase, she is cute as a button !
Mike O’Brien is adorable, and she is the one actress he’s interviewed that really goes for the kiss– love it !
We watch Mike fall in love a little bit…but who wouldn’t she’s great !
