Mercury Retrograde is a time of re-thinking, re-envisioning, reorienting – ultimately it is a time of self-reflection and discovering how we can revise methods in order to be streamlined, more successful.
Much more AWARE.

Mercury slowing in the house of Cancer highlights communications at home, between family members, those women who are close to us, also feelings surrounding our Earth.
We sharpen our intuitions and navel gaze into the past – predominately by feeling what is wrong and needs to be changed.
Cancer and Moon rule the stomach, gut instincts will guide you as Mercurial thoughts probe in this house.

Mercury retrograde in Gemini is a rethinking of THINKING ITSELF.  
Thought processes, habits re: the cyclical nature of them – or perhaps revision of the scattered non-focused thoughts.  Reflection and re-invention of talking, listening, versatility in groups, thoughts before speech, how you communicate and learn.

The gold lies in changing the neural pathways you want to be more positively directed.

Consider where Cancer sets up house in your natal chart.
In mine, Cancer is 7th, so I will also be doing Venusian revision as that is the natural house of Libra.
Apply this also to your house of Gemini, and the natural landlord of that house.
Gemini is my sixth, so all things Virgo will be under the microscope as well.

General Mercury Retrograde info:
Keep in mind, big ticket (home, car, computer, appliance) purchases are a not advised – if you must, also buy the warranty.  Contracts can be mis-read or misunderstood, so reading and re-reading the fine print is highly recommended before signing off.
Think twice, speak once.
Mercury Retrograde tends to bring out the truth in all of us – it’s the PoP goes the weasel transit.
It is also the transit for finding lost items – while in Cancer, particularly in the home !

Happy retrogradations

ps. I knew the pic may make a few squeamish – is a Gemini move, teaching.

So funny, song popped into my head instantly.
So perfect – actions rebooted in the public house of me you and everyone else.

Bit of admin as well…
I work two jobs: a full-time day job and this one.  
Full-time job requires some juggling of hours for the summer, so posts here at GMA may be up at unusual times, or less frequent – time will tell. 
I’ll see how life plays out….

Cover, ELP – Brain Salad Surgery (original stolen from Prague)

H.R. Giger, the artist who delivered us the creepy insectoid xenomorph made famous in the film franchise Alien, died May 12 in Switzerland.

Giger was a 7th house Aquarius Sun conjunct Mercury square Uranus in Toro 10 – very cerebral sci-fi art vibe with a strong Venusian undercurrent.

Aries Mars conjunct Saturn at MC square both: Leo Pluto at the backdoor (12th); and Capricorn Moon – these (along with Uranus elevated) show a curious detachment from traditional sensuality in the strong robotic/alien sexual bondage themes.

Sagittarius rules his 5th with Jupiter elevated in Mars-ruled Aries trine Pluto and ASC from the 9th – flair for glory and literally, guts, skeletals (Mars conj Saturn), the creative exploration of same.  Fire is his strongest element.

Fiercer than youVenus exalted in Pisces opposes Neptune in Virgo, indicating an exacting, precise artistic expression; trine Pluto (rules insects) rising in (12) Leo is a powerfully otherworldly expression which reveals both hidden desires and fears surrounding the vast universal unknown.  Venus opposite Neptune (theft, art museums) also indicates someone stealing his art; as well as Sun in Aquarius 7th (Prague is Leo/Sun ruled, as is his chart) square Uranus in 10th. Museums are also Saturnian/10th; Uranus separates.

His work deftly merges power, fear and desire, with an unusual scientific detachment from the human component – his superb craftsmanship is shown by a grand earth trine of Moon, Uranus, Neptune.

In peace,
GMA

Venura

photo 54Oracle of the Radiant Sun

Quickie read for sideways insights into Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries.
Heads UP – Mars Rx in Libra opposes and is on this card – a balance of give and take is indicated.  Circular energy YIN/YANG

This pair, I will call Venura, is simultaneously:
Separation – Uranus polarities; Venus, choice
Attraction – Uranus vibrations alike; Venus love magnetism

Full Moon incoming in Scorpio reveals what is lost, what is gained, emotional
achievements, summits, sticking and staying – conversely – failures, pitfalls and loss via full lunar conjunction with Saturn.

Venura (yes, my word, just invented it) squares Jupiter in Cancer also Pluto in Capricorn.  Feelings of the past, cycles and circles coming back around are inherent in these signs – also leaving the pain and gaining the love.
 
I have seen 11:11 at least 4 times since waking up this morning.  On bills, clocks, records, computer – so worth a link to my former post re: that co-inky dink number of higher octaves here.

Uranus is the Higher octave of Mercurial thinking – global tesseract.
Neptune is the Higher octave of Venus – universal compassion.

Gimmie a Crazy Ivan

A friend asked me my thoughts re: the Void Moon immediately following 23 degree Scorpio Full Moon lunation.

Seriously took me about 2 seconds.
Gimmie a Crazy Ivan.
FULL BURN

See how the Firefly engines are mounted on axis from one another ? 
A Crazy Ivan is:
Full throttle FORWARD ~> BOOM <~ flip engine do a 180
FULL BURN
until we reach atmo. .  .    .      .         .            .                 .

Plutonic power rules Scorpio
Powerful
kundalini energies of regeneration are surging in us expressed through Full Moon in house Scorpio.

Ancient ruler of Scorpio is Mars – which is retrograde until May 19th.
Mars energies are frustrated – not expressing well – in the house of Libra, its detriment.

Cardinal signs are feeling this Mars bottleneck at 9 degrees +/- 5.

Full moon always amps up the primal instincts.
Emotions run HIGH and HOT and DEEP with this Scorpio lunation.  

USE (Moon conjunct Saturn) your FULL BURN energies wisely- transmute yourself rather than throttle others.

Void moon ends with Moon into Sagittarius
12:44am Chicago time on Thursday the 15th.

Peace out Browncoats !

Quick read for energies leading to highest manifestation for all.

What is the danger as we grow into full moon in Scorpio ?

Haagenti
Element: Water
Planet : Mercury
Totem beast: Bull

Bull is the symbol of evangelist, Luke, the healer/physician. 
Haagenti is a patron of the healing arts, also sciences and chemistry- above all Haagenti is an alchemist who transmutes suffering and pain into spiritual growth, sickness into healing.

Note Full Moon with Saturn opposes Toro Bull Sun.
3rd to 9th at full lunation – thinking and seeing 
Past, authority – feelings re power and the exchange of it. 
What is mine/ours, how do we share, what has been given or taken. 
Accumulate or Release ?

The danger is we don’t clearly feel what is illuminated in the NOW in house Scorpio because of Saturn, which is TIME, PAST, building fortifications, A WALL.
Honor and charity, nurturing and tough love are highlighted with the inherent vibrations of Cancer and Capricorn steeping into the lunar stew.

Chatty Mercurial pointy gems tumble with a trine to frustrated Mars Rx in Libra.
Think twice, talk once.  View the perspectives from a distance.
Justice cuts both ways – both sides have something to learn.

Contemplate where and what triggers your anger, fear, aggression.
Transmutation gold aka GROWTH awaits in these areas.

How y’all doin’ leading up to Scorpio Full Moon ?  
Highs & lows ?  
Roger that.

I can barely walk with Saturn transit conjunct and Full Moon Lunar Landing on natal Neptuner in 11. Transit Mars Rx in 10 opposing natal Satan Rx, while natal backdoor Mars is getting hammered by a Neptune square.
I’m Saturn’s bitch & Neptune’s nymph without a doubt. 

So I have a lively natal Saturnian Neptuney illustration for you….
I had a stellar  Pete moment several years back…
Lemme explain.


My former husband and I loved to have fun.
He’s a 4 planet Sagittarius stellium; me, 9th house stellium, Venus conjunct Jupiter and Mars in Sagittarius.
Lots and LOTS of fun.

We have natal Taurus Moons conjunct – both of us have Moon opposite Neptune.
Classic textbook intoxicant aspects.
Yeaaah, we partied.
HARD.
On the run, touring as often as possible
while still holding 
down full time jobs.

Safe to say we both made our share of mistakes, and I am not without blame.
I am the lucky owner of a 8th house Leo Venus/Jupiter square Scorpio Neptune.
I don’t want to be a queen, I want to be the Queen.

The story goes, I came home from being gone awhile to find our bed made – perfectly.
Dead. Giveaway.

Whoever she was, (not the first or the second woman I had put up with either) this one had been in my home – in. my. bed.
I POPPED.
My natal Toro moon is exalted, in 4 – MY HOME.
Think Bull.  Horns Locked, Loaded.

Every hair on my body stood straight UP, my eyes glazed over, in the space of a heartbeat, I was a world away, in a trance state.

I slowly turned, calm and cool as a cucumber, silently marched down two flights of stairs, strolled up to his $800 Alvarez, quietly apologized aloud to the luthier, sweetly grabbed the neck and smashed that mutha into a million pieces.

 

tumblr_me2sihZUfC1qm3f8zo1_500I remember the wild abandon of Pure Plutonic Pain surging through my whole body.
I remember hating being driven to destroy what I find wholly holy, music.
I remember finding it odd how solid hollow body guitars actually are.
You’ve really gotta put the whammy on ’em – as illustrated below by Dave Grohl.

Equally as satisfying as primal scream.
T
oro Moon trine Pluto does both very well when pushed too far.

dave-grohl-smashing-guitar-oAfterwards, I sat down, had a beer, a smoke….my thoughts drifting aimlessly as I curiously gazed at the wreckage of my life laying and lying all over the basement floor.
I found it odd that in a hairsbreadth, I was so angry that I destroyed in seconds what someone had so lovingly, painstakingly created over weeks, months.

Neptune is my most highly aspected planet – ruling stringed instruments, though I didn’t know it at the time.   It became obvious years later when I learned astrology, read my aspects – read our aspects.

Stunningly accurate, divinely sublime.

For the record:
Jerry Lee Lewis, Charles Mingus, Pete Townshend are among the first to smash their instruments onstage; Jimi the first to set it ablaze.

Pete has Aries Mars opposite Libra Neptune both square Saturn N Node focal in Cancer 10.  Twelfth house Moon square Uranus in Gem on MC.

Jimi has great aspects to his Libra Neptune including trines to Gemini Uranus/Saturn.
Fire burns in his 12th house Sagittarius stellium: Sun, Mercury, Venus (opposing Gemini) square Leo Chiron tightly conjunct N Node as (out-of-sign) focal points in a T-Square.

A journey across the stars and heavens through antiquated astronomical diagrams.

I unearthed some dusty old scientific textbooks in my father’s attic, and immediately became inspired by the delicately rendered diagrams, plots and schemata. These purely scientific visual aids became unwitting artworks on their own, which is something I really loved.

The short animation explores pathways through astronomy’s roots, dating back to antiquity with its origins in scientific, mythological and astrological practices.  kimoni
