whispering

Some of the energies are a bit edgy lately, with squares and oppositions above us, so I’m going to concentrate on the good energies.  These are some tips on how people react to stress and how best to handle it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When dealing with fire element people (Aries, Leo, Sag) it is helpful to remember they can be quick to defend their position.  They are action-oriented and will fight if pressed.  Listen, and show them you are on the same team.

Earth people (Toro, Virgo, Cap) are ‘hands on’ and like to keep some measure of control.  So listen, and give them the tools they need to work it out for themselves.

Air people (Gems, Libras, Aquas) need to be heard, so listen, ask them to explain, reassure them you heard, understand their point, and will continue to listen if they need to talk.

Water people (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) need to know you care, that their feelings are safe with you.  They are good readers, so don’t try to hide anything, speak gently and be compassionate.

Hey baby, what’s your vibration ?
(heh. ok. maybe I won’t use that one.)

We are a recipe of energies when we are born, that’s our blueprint brew – our default setting.  What happens via transits and progressions are layers of growth due to new blends of energies being tossed into our default gumbo.  Over the years we stew and simmer through the richness of our life lessons until we become a wise sage.

To understand the elements, one must understand their vibrations, energy and octaves.

~~~~~~~
Pentacles = Earth      Cups = Water         Swords = Air      Wands = Fire
~~~~~~~
Earth signs are patient, practical, tied to the solid earth, the manifestors.
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Water signs are the emotional, intuitive, secretive signs, the feelers.
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Air signs are the communicators, thinkers, the intellectuals, the speakers.
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Fire signs are the energetic, passionate, courageous leaders, the inspiring.
 Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Now here comes the fun bit: 
Mercury is the planet of communication, thinking learning and sight.
The higher octave of Mercury is Uranus.  Knowing, intuition and clairvoyance.

Venus is the planet of personal love, touch and the cultured artist.
The higher octave of Venus is Neptune.  Divine love, inspired artist, psychometry.

Mars is the planet of personal will, destruction, outward energy.
The higher octave of Mars is Pluto. Divine will, rebirth after death, transformational inner energy.

All the signs and planets can express a high, or low vibration.

For instance, Low Neptune can be impractical, addictive, and escapist.
High Neptune, transcendent, compassionate and healing.

As energy rises in octaves it becomes faster, less dense… more free.


As sound and spoken word carry magical energy, so do thoughts for they are vibrations on a higher octave.
Bells clear energy in a room; thoughts of love, kindness and peace clear the mind.

Soul Reading

Posted on by

I pulled these cards with the intent that the tarot spread would bring about the highest good of all my readers activated when they read this post.

You get to interpret this reading yourself , these cards will resonate with your experience, your way.

I drew 3 cards: past, present, future

The card at the bottom of the deck being the message from spirit or getting to the ‘bottom of things’ – what the reading is all about.

All the best~

Electric Moon

Posted on by

To dream of a lodestone denotes favorable opportunities for advancement, it is an omen of happy changes.

My Neptune (rules dreams) is in the 11th house, the natural house of Aquarius – ruled by Uranus, which rules magnetics and lightning.
Lodestones are magnetic, said to be naturally magnetized by lightning strike.
The moon is full in Aquarius, the sign of inventors, humanitarians and forward- thinkers.

~~~~~~~~~
Now for some progressive astro science ~> Uranus rules science and astrology !
An iron core inserted into a solenoid (wire coil with electric current running through it) can multiply the magnetic field in the solenoid by a factor of tens, even thousands.  *

So I’ve been giving lots of attention to what I am magnetically attracting via my Mars (rules iron) trine from the 11th to the 3rd house of thinking.

Mars needs to lead and Uranus isn’t a follower, but in my case they are working together (Mars Quintile -spiritual gifts- Uranus) on a path of spiritual freedom and exploration.

~~~~~~~~~~~
I also have the magnetic Sun conjunct Uranus (rules magnetics) so I keep an eye on the solar cycles and any activity on the surface of the sun.  The picture above is a X6.9 flare 4 days ago.  The most powerful flare measured with modern methods was in 2003, during the last solar maximum, and it was so powerful that it overloaded the sensors measuring it. The sensors cut out at X28. *

I have read that some sensitive to solar activity can be more likely to have seiziures, dizziness, or disrupted sleep during heightened solar geomagnetic storms.
I experienced some slight dizziness during the last one, but as far as I’m conerned, the jury’s still out.  Did you feel anything ?

Uranus rules vision, magnetics and birds.  In the late 1970s, the physicist Klaus Schulten concluded that birds navigate by relying on geomagnetically sensitive biochemical reactions in their eyes, specifically, the protein cryptochrome. *

I have a very good sense of direction…where is your Uranus and how is your sense of direction..?  I am curious.   (Uranus rules curiosity)

Uranus also rules sensitive skin and conjunct Sun, I am prone to sunstroke…especially at high altitudes, and I tend to be a bit high-strung as Uranus rules the nervous system.
~~~~~~~~

Aquarius is an air (communication) sign, but known as the water-bearer.
It is a fixed sign, yet totally unpredictable.

Uranus can be fabulous highly charged eccentric ideas coming in flash twinges of intuition ( I knew I would own the house I presently live in when my foot- Neptune rules the feet- touched the driveway) or it can be erratic shocking shakedowns coming out of nowhere that cause a change in perspective in an instant.

Neptune rules humming (probably why I heard the Taos hum) and Aquarius rules birds.  I could tell you a story about how my Neptune squares from Scorpio to Leo (rules the heart) can be wrapped up in a tiny little bird with a heart rate that can reach up to 1260 beats in a minute….but I won’t.  That’s my 8th house of secrets, I’ll just say I have learned to regenerate and that’s all the Mercury Rx ‘pay dirt’ you’re gonna get.

If you can control the Prana you can completely control all the forces of the Universe, mental and physical. The Yogi can also control the Omnipresent manifesting power out of which all energies take their origin, whether concerning magnetism, electricity, gravitation, cohesion, nerve-currents, vital forces or thought-vibrations, in fact the total forces of the Universe, physical and mental. *
~~~~~~~~~~~
Two Vayus (air) : Prana (sun-inhale) and Apana (moon-exhale)
 Astrologically
Sun = life spirit, ego, the conscious
Moon= soul, instinct, emotions, the unconscious.

Astrology is the study of the relationship between the macro and microcosmos.  Hermetic law of correspondence states, “As above, so below, as within, so without.”  As vast as the numbers of stars in the sky, are the number of atoms in our bodies.  Concentrate and focus on the manifesting power you hold in each thought and breath and use them wisely.

“You will know… when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack. ”  ~Yoda


~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sage has the sun and moon by his side and the universe under his arm.
He blends everything into a harmonious whole.  ~Chuang Tzu
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The study of traditional Chinese medicine centers on the concept of the vital force or Qi as being not only within the human body, but in all living things. This Qi flows through the meridians of the human body to exchange, via the acupuncture points, with the Qi in the environment. Thus, the Qi of humans (the human energy field or HEF), and all living things, the earth,and the unified field are constantly exchanging. **

Cardinal Cross time again and how about a reality check.  I need one, it’s been a busy day and more yet to come.  For those of you not familiar with astrology, look for the big red square (each point is in a Cardinal sign) with an ‘X’ in the center.  The ‘X’ lines are oppositions, the shorter red lines are squares.  Squares are inner conflicts, oppositions something someone else does.
Uranus in Aries opposite Saturn in Libra is like trying to hold on to a bucking relationship bronco between self/others.  Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn is walking the tightrope between changing career and herding the family home.


~~~~~~~

Good news (in blue) is there is also a mystic rectangle, which is two trines (easy energies) and two sextiles ( two opportunities) and a grand trine (big blue triangle) and a kite with two more sextiles.  So there is a lot of good energy bopping around too…!
The opposition in the kite is pointing to Mars and Pluto.  That’s action, desires and where we put our energy (Mars) opposite the big transformer, Pluto.  Feels kinda like a big soul shakedown party.  The whole planet, our country and each and every one of us are going through some rapid changes.

So I made a tarot spread so I could have some more info on the energies.
I did this spread using:
the left card as ASC /top as MC/ right as DC/ bottom as IC/ middle card as The Hub.
The card on the bottom right is the bottom of the deck or the ‘message from spirit’ as Donni calls it.

~~~~~~~~~~
ASC= Koala, upright~~~Live in a place of gratitude and generosity, you may have your secrets as long a you have respect for and do no harm to others.

MC=Waratah, upright~~It is only by the dark night of the soul and grief through loss that we may fully understand the unbridled joy of love and happiness.  Being alive is to accept them both.

DC=Southern Cross, upright~~This is a testing period, a period of changes and endings.  What is needed is courage and fortitude – be mentally and physically strong, keep to your discipline and beliefs.  Do not lose hope, for the beautiful new world to come will far exceed your expectations and imaginings.

IC=Willy Wagtail, upright~~This is the time to communicate your spiritual and emotional truth – openly and honestly.  Face changes and the ending of the old by turning your face to the new.  Find your inner strength to deal with difficulties, and seek the friendship of others when you need it.

Hub (Earth)= Black Swan, reversed~~Turn your sight within to find what is holding you back from your highest good.  Adjust your attitude/altitude to find the opportunities present in your situation.

Spirit=Opal, reversed~~This is a very spiritual card that indicates a time of shedding past habits and negativity.   Find the rainbow of energies available within (chakras) to see the value of your presence in the world and the gifts you have to offer with newfound clarity.

All the best~

I am Capricorn rising and giraffe is one of my favorite animals.
Giraffes are Capricornian !
Saturn rules Capricorn and is my chart ruler.

I have always loved giraffes, they are grounded
(Saturn is terra firma), but their heads are in the clouds.
(Neptune -my most highly aspected planet- rules clouds and sky.)

Since Saturn is time and old stuff, so here’s an old b/w photo…

~~~~~
I have Sun conjunct Uranus and Pluto.
Uranus and Pluto rule mistakes.
lovely.  THAT explains much !
Here is the back of the above photo
with my childhood scrawl.

What is the astrology of your favorite animal ?
Peace GMA

 Shamanic drumming allows us to weave sacred magic through conscious dreaming with the rhythm present in our breath, heartbeat and the Earth itself.

:::::::::::::
 Drumming results in an alpha state; (relaxation, super learning, light trance) it is the resonating power of vibration through sound which brings an altered state of consciousness / contemplation / connection with All That Is; the I AM.

Aries is Cardinal Fire !  Aries motto is I AM.
Aries is ruled by Mars.  Mars rules Drums !

Rhythm can be used to find your ‘center’, to become more grounded, calm and aware of the connections between all life forms.  Drumming induces deep relaxation, lowers blood pressure, and brings the vibratory levels of the physical and spiritual bodies to a state of balance.

:::::::::::::
Research has demonstrated that the physical transmission of rhythmic energy to the brain synchronizes the two cerebral hemispheres. When the logical left hemisphere and the intuitive right hemisphere begin to pulsate in harmony, the inner guidance of intuitive knowing can then flow unimpeded into conscious awareness.
