all hands on decks

Love alert code red
Venus trine Neptune  !
Relationship House (Libra) is flush with planets !

Hands UP, who has a tarot card callus ?!  lol.

It is a good time to get some focus re: feelings/perceptions : Moon is Quintile Mercury (better hurry, these 2 move fast)
Love matters coming to a head, changing ?
The time is ripe: Venus is Quintile both Mars and Pluto, but be careful (Mars square Jupiter) and cautious of what you do.
Is the relationship built to last ? Mars in (generous Leo), is Quintile Saturn (fair, kind and exalted in Libra).
Inspiration strikes, insights are forthcoming – keep the faith: Jupiter Quintile Neptune in Aquarius.
Inspiration and idealism meets with moulding reality into form: Saturn trine Neptune.

Hearth Forge & Hammer

My mind is on fire.

Pluto, by transit, is ripping up my 1st house, (the Ascendant, the self, the mask, the instincts) it is squaring Saturn (my chart ruler) in Aries, my 3rd (thinking, communicating) which is trine my Mars (action) in Sagittarius (higher mind) on the 12th (dreams, unconscious).

Saturn traditionally rules Aquarius (invention), which is ruled by Uranus (intuition), and is conujnct my natal Pluto and transiting Pluto is freakin super charging it.
I am getting massive downloads of ideas who the heaven is driving this thing at night, when I wake up – BAM !
Get busy !

It feels like a whirling dirvish shiva circus, and it looks like the mimetic metal shapeshifting Terminator grasping each previous persona in the final throes of death.


Mars rules the blade – Pluto the forge, the morph, it is the Ginormous Game-Changer.
Pluto is rocking my world, shaking my whole chart, unearthing all my Saturn in amazing and surprising ways – I am regenerating and  I love it.

In its simplest form, the First Law of Thermodynamics states that neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed. The amount of energy in the universe is constant – energy can be changed, moved, controlled, stored, or dissipated. However, this energy cannot be created from nothing or reduced to nothing. Every natural process transforms energy and moves energy, but cannot create or eliminate it.  This principle forms a foundation for many of the physical sciences.

Look for which house Pluto is moving through in your chart and the aspects it makes for your volcanic eruption.

The sword that was broken has been remade.

From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king. ~ Arwen Undómiel

Become who you were born to be.

Saturn rules spiders, they build.

I am careful not to destruct their webs while walking through my yard.
I just sit and watch them spin, they fascinate me.
Building.  Always building.  Work, work and more work.

Spider, my yard

Spinning all sorts of webs, not just orbs like you see pasted up in Halloween windows,  but funnels and string lines with lassos, all sorts of designs to suit the purpose.
I wonder how many webs a spider spins during their life ?  How many times does their masterpiece get wrecked to the point it is better to leave it and start over on another one ?
Pluto is wrecking ball my Saturn right now.


Asheville, NC artist.  Please, forgive, too many years ago to remember.

Neptune is opposing my Venus Jupiter conjunction in the 8th, and I want to build art.
I want the materials and tools (Mars) in my hands.  (Saturn in Aries 3rd, trine Mars in Sag)
I love to work with my hands (Gemini 6th).  I love leatherwork.  (Saturn rules me and leather)  I love the way it smells and the way the wrinkles in the hide feel underneath my fingertips when I lace it with sinew.  (Toro Moon 4th)

Gneiss Moon

It’s dead, and I’m Plutonic.
Skulls, bones, feathers, hides, skins, rocks, crystals, quills, furs, twigs and sticks, axes and arrowheads are all over my place.  Death is a part of life.  I get the feng shui, and I practice it my way.  The dead stuff stays.

I’m pretty Uranian too with Neptune waterfalling all over my chart from the 11th and Uranus/Pluto conjunct Sun in the 9th.

I’m self – taught in many areas, I prefer it to classes, tests and schedules.
What I want to learn, no school around here teaches anyway.

blind spot

Popped cork.  Pitchfork.  Tuning fork.  Mystical torque.

Lucky Lucky Late Leos get another baptism in the waters of Neptune.
Via Opposition. Other.
Venus smoosh Saturn is trine Neptune.  Sun conjunct Mercury opposite Uranus and it looks like I am gonna pop the cork on Neptune, fuq yeah.
Moon opposite Jupiter and the time is ripe, it surfaces.

First things first.  I have natal Neptune in Scorp on the 11th – that means you, You and YOU see me suffer and squirm under the microscope.  That Neptune is squaring my Heart in Leo on the 8th – specifically, Venus conjunct Jupiter.  Both of which are presently in a stranglehold with Neptune again.
I’m gonna tell you straight up, it’s a bitch. *

~~~~~~~~~~
Scorpios DO the penetrating, they hate being exposed  to the crowd, their weaknesses on public display in broad daylight, no less.  Neptuning fork turned onto itself in Leo is heartless, cruel and selfish – The Will bent and twisted to wield power over others.  It is the absolute refusal  to give up the shiny object, come death and  re-birth, the shiny ‘mine’ will still be clutched tightly  in the talons.

It is self-delusion, self-deception, and escapism to the microscopic Scorpionic degree of depths that only the soul knows.  The belief that going dark cave deep in a haze of addiction will keep the secret sorrows hidden from others is truly an unconscious desperation that they will be hidden from the self.  Over-sensitivity to the environs due to an overactive Neptune in Scorpio can lead to irrational fear of others, self-induced seclusion and a flat-out refusal to face life.

A Scorped up Neptuned Leo WILL obsess over the soulless meatsack staring back from the mirror.  It will poke, provoke and power the ugly thing with unswerving penetrating attention, willing it to rise for yet another death.  It is a power struggle to the death – internal vs. external – the need to transform fighting the need to fixate.  It is the deeply ingrained fixed habits of many lifetimes – the WILL carved so deeply it turns on itself to find the source of the offense and root it out.

Strangled Leo is Plutonic sexual desire metamorphosed and warped, a lack of willpower and reckless gambling of the heart and soul of self and others.  It is vain pride, mining for energy from others, taking – always taking without giving.  It is intolerance of others who do not share the same beliefs, the instinctive Scorpionic need to control – twisted to manipulate the other, a vampirism of the unconscious self and others in the collective.

~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~
Solution ?
Quit being a puss.  Suck it up, sweetheart – quit giving yourself a free pass out of anything difficult.  Be honest with yourself and others.  Use your WILL POWER for healthy thoughts and deeds.  Channel the inner energy to EVOLVE instead of control and manipulate.  Say kind things to yourself in the quiet moments.  Go through EVERY letter in the alphabet and choose a groovy word starting with that letter to describe yourself.  Now do it AGAIN and AGAIN choosing a different word each time.  Open your heart, fear keeps the friends out too.  Speak your kind thoughts aloud.   Train your attention – feed the things that make you feel good about yourself.
Be mindful of your thoughts.  Focus on the positive.
I love you and I have excellent taste.
  You dig ?
Now quit fucking around and use your talents wisely – you are brilliant – shine.

Love, a dash of charm, (Venus) coupled with wit (Mercury) and radiance (Sun) all in Libra, means earthy, sensuous Pan (Saturn) is gonna get busy with Venus real quick !
This is great astro for working out the kinks in all relationships, so use it or lose it !  (Capricorn motto- Saturn rules- I use.)

root of the root

Hello fine people- today’s reading for insight from The Psychic Tarot by John Holland.

Past:  Illumination, truth, time for you to shine- very positive card.

Present:  5 mental card speaks of change, learning, how situations are handled.  Be sensitive to your own energies and those of others.  Choose your battles.  Stay or go, fight or flight ?

Future:  Base or root chakra:  This chakra is most closely related to earthy issues.  It points to the basics of survival and stability, or remaining rooted in the physical.  Root chakra represents those issues involving Saturn, sex drive and fear.  Root chakra is primal.

Spirit card:  5 emotions card speaks of emotional loss, the heart heals and becomes stronger through new wisdom and knowledge.  Focus on the positive, what is left to be grateful for rather than steep in what is lost.

Manifest Destiny

Pictured below is Pluto, yes Pluto.  Not space object whatever downgrade term it got smacked with.  Check some of the Pluto posts here if you doubt this tiny planets whallop on the natal chart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have it conjunct Sun/Uranus, trine Moon, trust me it has power, no matter what you call it.  Don’t let that freak you out, though.  Pluto rules metamorphosis and rebirth ~> think phoenix, or caterpillar to butterfly.
Not easy, but worth it !
Now on with the sky show…

~~~~~~~~~~~
11:00 UT, (6:00 CST) we will have a big pile up in the Cardinal (activity, action) Air sign (thinking, speaking) of Libra.  Two degree Mercury conjunct New Moon, and Moon conjunct Sun at 4 degrees- all square Pluto at 4 degrees.  Mercury is at 2 degrees opposite Uranus at 2 degrees, with Sun and New Moon opposite as well.  Uranus squares Pluto.  Those are some stressful aspects, but what growth isn’t..?

Look at it this way…

1= seeds, new beginnings   2=balance, duality    4= stability    5=change
6= harmony within flux  8= strength, new priorities  9=mystical, closure

The healers Chiron & Neptune are seeds, new beginnings.
Mercury (thoughts, communication) and Uranus (change) are balance, duality.
Saturn (responsibility) and Jupiter (visionary ideas) are mystical closure.
Mars (action) is change.
Venus (love, kindness) is harmony within flux.
Sun, Moon and Pluto are stability.
North Node of Destiny is strength and setting new priorities in the sign of Sagittarius the seekers of Universal Truth.

Quintiles are spiritual gifts straight from the universe.  There are several in the sky above… Venus Q Mars….Mars Q Saturn…Jupiter Q Neptune…Neptune Q North Node of Destiny (note that Jupiter and Neptune are bi-Q Sun, Moon, and Mercury as well)

This is a great chance to get some power behind all those thoughts of love, peace, equality, healing so they can manifest into your destiny.  The planet of action (Mars) is creating tension (change) from Leo of the Heart to the biggest planet in our sky the greater benefic, Jupiter in the dependable sign of Taurus that Venus (Love) rules.

Mars (action) is trine (harmony) changeable Uranus and sextile (opportunity) Sun, New (manifestation) Moon and Mercury (conscious, unconscious, thinking) in the Cardinal (active, initiatory) sign of balance, the sign of relationships, Libra.

Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Chiron are all Rx (retrograde), so these are changes that will perhaps bloom slowly, but are worth the effort.

The Dharma wheel represents the teachings of Buddha.  The wheel is round symbolizing the completeness of Buddhas teachings, the spokes are wisdom, the hub is discipline, nirvana.

Four Noble Truths

1. Life means suffering
2. The origin of suffering is attachment
3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.
4. The path to non-attachment, the Eight-fold path. (Middle Path)

The Noble Eight-fold path

1.  Right View
2.  Right Intention
3.  Right Speech
4.  Right Action
5.  Right Livelihood
6.  Right Effort
7.  Right Mindfulness
8.  Right Concentration

The Middle path is walking in balance between the worlds of self-indulgence and self-denial.  Through discipline of the heart and mind, nirvana may be reached by realizing all things are transient.
It is the art of  l e t t i n g   g o  . . .

Sun (ego) continues to oppose Uranus (changes) as both square (tension) Pluto (death and rebirth).
It is soon a dark moon and time to release the old and manifest the new.
All blessings to you in this dark moon of change.
