Ape Man

Posted on by

Mars IS in Leo, let’s celebrate with some eye candy and showtunes !

During Tarzan the Ape Man a scene involving Jane attempting to get away from Tarzan, Miles O’Keefee found himself face to face with a full grown lion, who took on the part of the gallant gentleman saving the damsel in distress.

Lionhearted protector- escaping his holding pen, dived into the fray, apparently more intent on protecting Bo Derek than attacking Miles O’Keeffe (Miles wasn’t injured by the 500 pound cat).

~~~~~~~~
 The handler was on the scene almost immediately, stopping the incident. Although neither human nor lion were injured, rumor had it that Miles O’Keeffe thereafter made a habit of checking the security of the holding pen whenever other scenes of “violence” toward Bo Derek were done, citing a deep respect for Bo Derek’s formidable self-appointed bodyguard.

A very small selection of Bo Derek pictured clothed in this movie. lol.- here is one.  This one is a promo shot.  Below is Johnny Weissmuller for my Mom, she loves him.  His Tarzan yell was dubbed into the movie featured above – Miles chose not to overdub.

This pic is for me !  I had it on my wall for years, then lost it in all my travels.
 YaY the internets/webs/photos – We are reunited haha !

Carol ?!  Of course, dahlink !

cave of winds

Posted on by

Hello, lovely people…
Today’s reading is from The Shaman’s Oracle by John Matthews and Wil Kinghan.
It is activated when you read it, with the intent of guidance on the path towards highest possible good of all.

Now a bit about this great deck…

The midworld, our reality, is represented by the palm of the hand.
 Five cards are drawn to represent the five caves (fingers of the hand) or gateways to the spirit realm.
 These cards are based on the symbolic language of petroglyphs and the shamans vision quest.

I will give you the meaning of the caves (position of cards), and leave the meanings printed on the cards, and the petroglyphs to speak for themselves.
Note: most of the cards I pulled are energetic, expressive dancers- symbolic of the energies world-wide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dancers = energy and expression, dancing to express emotions and raise the self to a more spiritual level

Ancestor = holders of primal wisdom, the whole tribe, Earthkinds source of wisdom through the ages (this includes animals and Gaia)

Shaman = messengers of becoming, the walkers between worlds

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cave of Ice/Spirits : manifestation, blessings, purification, forces that will not be stopped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cave of Winds/ Shamans : Beginnings, the place of unrealized possibilities, transcendence

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Cave of Hearthfires/Dancers : Home, protection, magic and gifts of spirits, transformation, power and it’s dangers, the present.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
Cave of Rivers/Hunters : Emotion, boundaries, time passing, shifts of emphasis.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Cave of Earth/ Ancestors : Entrance to the otherworld, trial & challenge, initiation, power that can manifest in the seekers world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Message from spirit (card at the bottom of deck)

Dirty Sweet

Posted on by

You’re windy and wild, you’ve got the blues in your shoes and your stockings
You’re windy and wild, oh yeah 
You’re built like a car, you’ve got a hub cap diamond star halo
You’re dirty sweet and you’re my girl.
~ Bang a Gong, Tyrannosaurus Rex

Mystical poet, story-teller, then later musician, Marc (Feld) Bolan burst onto the british scene in the late 60’s blazing a new trail in rock and roll with a lot a spunk and a sprinkle of glitter.
Charming, aggressive and witty, he wove a cheshire grin spell on legions of T. Rex fans.  An admirer of Syd Barrett (Pink Floyd) and a precursor to Ziggy Stardust days, he was a Tolkien lover who dreamed a magical path with a sexy guitar edge.

Libra Marc Bolan has Sagittarius rising with chart ruler Jupiter (spunky, sexy) in the mystical 12th house with Scorpio (metaphysics/sex).  Marc loved exploring magical, mystical realms and was visionary in weaving poetry, music and the theatrical into his work.  (Check out the doco with Ringo Starr, it’s wacky !)

Moon (imagination) in Aries trine Mars and Pluto (desires/sex) aggressively sexy, opposite Sun conjunct Venus and Neptune, charmingly aggressively sexy.  North Node of Destiny in 6th house Taurus (Venus rules) is creative, sensual communication at work.  Part of Fortune in Gemini indicates the same.

 

Mars in Cancer at completion degree of 29, in mutual reception with Moon in Aries, he was on a mission to reveal his feelings of passion and love of mysticism.  He really blew the doors off repressive attitudes about what sexual creativity should be.

Libra Sun in 10th career house conjunct Venus and Neptune indicates his brilliant artistry – countless musicians site T. Rex as an influence on their music.  Venus is strong here as Venus rules Libra, Libra sits on the 10th, the natural home of Saturn,  Saturn is exalted in Libra.  Any aspect between Venus (practiced art) and Neptune (inspired art) will reveal the artist.

…you’ve got a universe reclining in your hair… 
Sun conjunct Neptune, hello mystical Leo !

(Thom Yorke also has Venus conjunct Neptune (loose- 11 degrees) in Scorpio, both musicians very different, but brilliant songwriters.  Also, my college buddy has Venus conjunct Neptune (4 degrees) and is a brilliant professional sculptural artist.)

Saturn conjunct Pluto in Leo 8th indicates a life-long love of delving deep into the psyche for creative work, conjunct ruler of the 2nd he not only did well in life, but has left a strong musical legacy for future generations.  Saturn is time and conjunct Pluto in Leo, posthumous fame.

Mercury in the 11th trine Uranus in the 7th, Marc had keen instincts in his career, knowing his funky poetry was innovative and sensual and well -suited to rock n roll.

Listen to the interview below and you will see his quiet strength, whimsical demeanor, and a stunning prediction of his future.

This is Moon (intuition) trine Mars (mutual reception- strong) in intuitive Cancer on the 8th of death, Moon trine Pluto conjunct Saturn (intuition of time of death), and Mars trine Jupiter in the 12th (cosmic awareness) square Saturn in Leo the solar (life force) house, in addition to the strong intuitive trine between Mercury and Uranus.

Beneath the bebop moon, I wanna croon with you

Miraculous

Posted on by

I have long been interested in the martyred saints even though I am not catholic.  Pictured on the postcard below is Saint Jude, one of the 12 apostles of Christ.  He was martyred along with Saint Simon for bringing the gospel to Persia.

Saint Jude’s attribute is a club. He is also often shown in icons with a flame around his head. This represents his presence at Pentecost, when he received the Holy Spirit with the other apostles. Another common attribute is Jude holding an image of Jesus Christ, in the image of Edessa. In some instances he may be shown with a scroll or a book (the Epistle of Jude) or holding a carpenter’s rule.

Jude is invoked in desperate situations because his New Testament letter stresses that the faithful should persevere in the environment of harsh, difficult circumstances, just as their forefathers had done before them. Therefore, he is the patron saint of desperate cases and his feast day is October 28.
::::::::::::::::::::::
You ever seen a catholic calendar ? – filled  with feast days.  That’s a lot of martyred saints.  eep.  That’s kinda creepy.
I have a book of patron saints, This Saints for You, guaranteed to fascinate, promise!  Saints can help you sell your house, have a successful garage sale, or if you work with explosives, call on Saint Barbara.  No kidding. 

You ever read messages of thanks to St. Jude in your local free reader or mixed in with the want ads ?
These people are giving thanks to St. Jude because their prayers have been answered.

I found the postcard above while perusing a second hand shop with my college roomie.  I was sick at the time, had been for quite awhile, and being a Beatles fan, and  a big Julian Lennon fan, (Paul wrote the song for him.) I popped a few bucks and took it home.

Hey, what can it hurt to have a little help from your friends, right ?
Well…I started carrying it around and I got better.

Thank you Saint Jude, my prayers were answered.
 

Martyrs are ruled by Saturn, and saints, Neptune.  Neptune is my most highly aspected planet with squares straight to Leo (ruled by Sun, the solar life force) in the 8th.  The 8th house is death, rebirth, the phoenix rising from the ashes stronger.
Makes sense with the saints, now doesn’t it.  Rising from the ashes, even stronger after death.  Millions pray to them to intercede on their behalf.

Saint Jude is Aquarian, or rather miracles are Uranian and Neptunian, and he fits the bill.  My biggie Neptune is in Scorpio (the occult) on the 11th house (natural house of Aquarius), so a fascination with martyrs (my Neptune square the 8th and death), saints and miracles.

I am Saturn (martyrs) ruled, and have Venus (love, art) conjunct Jupiter (faith) in the 8th (death) square Neptune (miracles).  I am also a big fan of incense, (Mars rules- which in my chart is on the healing 12th), and bells (Venus rules) to clear and bless the energy in the room.

I have Mars (desires, action) in Sagittarius (faith) which is on my 12th house of mysticism.   So, very spiritual, but not conforming to any religious groups. (My Sun /spirit conjunct Uranus of the free and untamed in the 9th house of faith.)

This is what fascinates me about astrology, it explains soOo much when you learn it.  My friend and client was amazed by her current transits info.
“You can see all that?”     ~Yes.   Cool, yeah ?!
Miraculous ~ the universe ~ macro to micro.
Divine. / Divination.
Neptune rules !

(I would be remiss if I did not add that I was bemoaning the very Neptunian chart I have been blessed/cursed with just yesterday (or the day before, I can’t remember !- ha ! Neptune rules fog; Mercury memory) but today I am looking at it differently, not suffering quite so much – feeling more inspired.)

Thanks to my new friend clareflourish who inspired this post by providing this incredible link to Medieval icons. <- sorry, broken link try this one.

I thank you !
Merry Meet & Blessed Be.

adaptation, improvisation

Posted on by

Tonight’s fortune cookies are spot – on !

Sun, (coming up to exact conjunction with ) Saturn conjunct Mercury in the last degree of Libra which is conjunct Venus in Scorpio.  Mercury in the last degrees can be the overflowing cup of communication, so be mindful of your thoughts and speech.
Restriction and what others are doing is on the mind and in the heart now.  Keep the faith and stay positive, define your goals.

This stellium of energies is in opposition to the energies of Moon which just entered Taurus and is approaching Jupiter. Moon opposition will pass quickly, while the Mercury and Venus opposition to Jupiter will last longer.
The combined energies of the stellium and Moon/Jupiter are both square Pluto.   Steady as she goes~

Adaptation, improvisation. – Morphius

Disseminating Toro moon spreads seeds of knowledge gained at the full moon.  Toro moon is patient, steady and likes peaceful surroundings.  Enjoy the break before it lands in restless Gemini…

Strength squared

Posted on by

Hello lovely people !
This tarot card reading is from the Soulcards deck by Deborah Koff-Chapin.
Another sign, as I post this I see not only is today an 8, but this post is numbered 2222, (8) which is strength and regeneration.
Blessings to all ~ find your brace points in love.

My question was loosely based on the principle of micro/macro energies for us and our world during these times of Uranus square Pluto.  This reading will reveal what is UP with our lives, and the lives of all of us collectively.
I placed them in a group of 3, the last card being the message from spirit at the bottom of the deck.   My other parameters being the most benevolent outcome for all my readers whenever they stop by to read it.
I love these cards because they are subjective, what YOU see springs out of your personal experience.  Enjoy~

On a personal note, I am on vacation so if posts slow up for a week or so, do not be alarmed, I am working, but on other things.

fortify

Posted on by

Fluorite is a cubic, octahedral stone that is fluorescent, or glows under UV light.  The origin of the name is Latin, meaning to flow.
It is a stone that enhances mental clarity and provides a clear, clean energy.  It is good for increasing memory, concentration and enhances decision-making.  Note that it has a cubic habit, which is the power of 4 – structure, stability and manifestation.

This stone can help give form to scattered thoughts and energies, and bring your goals into focus.   It increases the flow of energy between brain hemispheres allowing the intuitive (right) and logical reasoning (left) halves to work in unison.  By making the mental path clear, fluorite aids in making a solid plan of action in order to reach your goals step by step.

 

In the natural chart 3rd house is Gemini, ruled by Mercury, motto: I THINK.  It is communication in all forms, lower mind, early education, study habits, how you learn, writing and short distance travel.

Sagittarius is 9th house, ruled by Jupiter, motto: I SEE.  It is higher mind, teaching, universities, philosophy, ethics, morals, beliefs, religion and long distance travel.

Neptune rules the 12th house of Pisces, the hidden, fog, delusion and illusion, mysticism, secrets and sacrifice.  The house in your natal chart where Neptune lives will be a place of spirituality, mysticism and perhaps some form of sacrifice or suffering in your life.

If you have an active Neptune in your natal chart, meaning is it contacting by conjunction, opposition or square another planet, you can not only expect some foggy nebulous action concerning the planets/houses involved, but also inspirational downloads from the cosmos and the collective.

If you have Neptune aspecting a natal planet by transit via conjunction opposition or square, expect the same.

If you are having Neptune trouble, may as well fortify yourself with some stable, earthy fluorite energy to help dissipate the fog, clear the air and put all that inspirational, visionary thinking to practical use.
