Upcoming whammy Full Moon in Scorpio – it’s conjunct Saturn while trine Jupiter in Cancer also trine a Chiron Part of Fortune conjunction in Pisces.  Virgo Rising with Mercury MC, PoF smack on DC at Full Lunation.

First and foremost, you can count on lots of bubbling psychic spring waters and a fair bit of mud surfacing with this full moon – meaning deep soul mining & plenty of processing – heads up !  
Focusing on thoughts & organization of them, how to effectively heal ourselves and others in one swell foop.  We carry the past with us, regenerating it into our future.

We are still dealing with Mars Rx in another thinking sign fascinated with relationships.
Retrograde slowing to station feels like quicksand – balance and bonds are in deep.
We get  s  t  r   e    t    c     h     e      d  like a rubber band ready to SNAP – PoP !

Full Moon spotlights Saturn body issues, also authority, the past and time.

Those who deal with me must have the Patience of a Saint – I KNOW this.
 In my case, Achilles tendon and bone issues, now fatigue.  As transiting Neptune closes the square to my natal Mars – the low energy I DO have drains right outta me.
I am working on everything, trust.  I am just moving slower.  Truly, thank you kindly for your patience.  

As this moon grows to full, it encourages cultivation of deep patience with ourselves, others and relationships of all kinds – but with eyes and ears open wide.

Personal and joint power and energy exchanges are struggling, switch-hitting, ultimately SURVIVING.

photo 52Right things at the right time in the right space.
Perfect timing is a continuum, a meeting that Always IS.

Venus is conjunct Uranus at lunation.
Many doors close – many doors also swing open.
This may be your revolving door coming back around – only You KNOW.

Mercury in Gemini sextiles Venus / Uranus, so yes a bit tricky – but opportunistic.
Deep undercurrents flowing under this lunation – houses Scorpio & Taurus seek compromise.
What we Desire and what we Have.
Promises made, word given & kept.

Mars Rx in Libra opposing Venus and Uranus in Aries both grate against focal Pluto in Capricorn.

Use of Power over Time – Moving Electrical Current in Relationships.

The best relationships that last the longest SHARE power, cyclically, in constant exchange and flux.
Obviously, I know we want change RIGHT NOW, and we will be working to get it both personally and globally as Moon reaches full – but know the greatest part of this work is … silent & deadly & rebirthing behind closed doors.

I happen to LOVE Capricorn Pluto energy, I am digging this intensity and learning SO MUCH about myself and others during this lunation.

This Moon reaches full on my Neptuner and honey I am feeling every bit of it.
Scorpio Moon all over me across vast reaches of space & time altitudes & attitudes.
You know who you are.  Hang tight.

photo 53Clarity & Insight
Bones of Nature.

A man finds an animal skull among the bushes.   Look to your Natal Saturn, reality sharpens, solidifies there with this Full Moon in Scorpio.

REALITY.

Fabulous + the heavens part and the angles sing …
she also she sells Game of Thrones Tarot here  ! ! 

Mercury rules and flies through Gemini deftly, signsmiths of words + ideas – they are flits and flirts of wit and wisdom – wryly speaking in tongues.  Magnificent mimics, they can twist and turn a perfect phrase – inflections and reflections are tricksy & bendy in this mutable air sign.  Gifts of gab and languages, including sign, are a natural adaptation born and bred of a need to exchange ideas and move messages.

Information superhighways through your neighborhood, they are the go-to folks for any and all: how-to, where-are and did-they ? !?  goodies.  Rumors and facts flow freely here, with equal billing. The flow of deets & dirt is the keynote of Mercury in Gemini.

Versatile and observant, this Mercury ferrets away information, cleverly collecting curiosities and quips for curveball conversations later.  These sparkly Gems are the Jack and Jill of all trades – lifelong learners and teachers on the move, they are avidly curious about everything from soup to nuts.  Happily, they are willing to share their wealth of knowledge with anyone within earshot.

This can be an anxious, nervous placement for Mercury – watch the hands for signs of distress, they are a dead giveaway. 
Hands still = on meds. kidding !
Hands fluttering = overly busy, still in control. 
Hands in the air & waving = information overload.  Throw chocolate, back away slowly.

Mercury is a fabulous intellectual flirt in Gemini, a bit fickle, but fun and bubbly.  Thinking can be a bit scatterbrained due to the restlessness of Mercury; superficial due to the social quality of air sign, Gemini.  To fly the friendly skies with this Mercurial Gem, polish your points of perceptions, witty wordplay, comic comebacks and have a blast !

giphyHas this been your experience of Mars Rx in Libra ?
Hang on…we are almost to the turnpike. 

Mars Direct in Libra
May 19
8:31pm CST, USA

Mars into Scorpio
July 25
9:25pm CST, USA

During Mars Rx in Libra interrelations are swinging wildly from soft Venus to aggressive Mars – one minute discordant – the next harmonious.

Contemplation and quarrels of fairness and frustration and finances are fair game.  

Think of Mars Rx as a cosmic do-over, make-over from the inside out.
What are your qualities worth scrapping or saving ?
1 – Receptive yin feminine
2 – Outgoing yang masculine 
Where is the harmonious balance that lives within you ?
Do you play and work well with others ? 

Who are YOU among all the OTHERS living over in Libra ?
Have you been exploring these things, like I have ?
Mars Rx drives us to discover who and what we ARE as well as how FAIRLY we deal our deck among a myriad of Libran choices.

Here comes the healing horse (Jupiter) we can’t normally see for the blindfold and crossed swords / ideas of indecision, which of course, is STILL a choice

Jupiter trine Pisces Chiron while also trine Saturn Rx in Scorpio
All emotional water houses, diving deep into the depths will do the trick here.
Have hope, be generous, keep faith, be positive – put love and care to healing emotional wounds.

What is the insight of Mars Rx ?
Thinking with the head the goddess gave you.  
Logic, fairness and reason over time.
Don’t be hasty.
The pen / tongue is mightier than the sword.
Personal record keeping – rather than keeping score.

What is the Martian hurdle we press hardest against ?
Our personal challenges as we RELATE to OTHERS.
Perseverance is called for – rather than severity and pressuring.

I love Love LOVE Floyd.
You can find my interp for Syd here.

One of my favorite things is waking up in the morning with a fresh cuppa java, listening to KQED while I read cards.  You can find KQED an hour with Floyd on the sidebar under Neptunes.

Thrillingly, David has whammy sensitive / artistic / musical water placements !

Sun and Venus (exalted) in Pisces trine a Mars Saturn Rx conjunction in Cancer.
Aries Mercury also trines Mars/Saturn, as well as Pluto Rx in Leo.
Obviously, he’s a workhorse (Mars/Saturn) in the name of art and music, (Pisces) with 5 retrogrades and heavy water placements, he hits his groove in solitary productivity.
Saturn hermits, conjunct Cancer Mars – in order to work freely, quietly without distractions.

davidgilmour4
Incredible how many artists are working T-Squares as a catalyst to creativity.
David has Mars/Saturn as focal point square Aries Moon and Jupiter Rx in Libra.
Aries Moon and Mercury is fiery fuel under all that sensitivity / creativity – head space and emotional space are  in tandem – courageous, passionate, inspired. 

Jupiter expands the exploratory creative drives of Venus ruled Libra – while conjunct Chiron Rx – he writes and teaches the wound & the healing in his music. Lyrics are compelling and magnetic with Uranus in Gemini square Sun in Pisces – Uranus cuts  straight to the universal nitty gritty lyrically, but with an inherent sweetness and hope for all life and love. (Sun Pisces)

david-gilmour-6
Gemini Uranus trines Neptune in Libra – brilliant communicator through art – both are sextile Leo Pluto which is powerful creativity, risk and play via music (Sun Pisces).
David has North Node in Gemini indicating a need to share and distribute ideas.  This is a total thinking placement, but in regards to doing so with others rather than exploring independently.

Lilith in late Scorpio is delving deep into unseen desires and with an exact trine to Venus, we have an independent trailblazing creative without a shadow of a doubt.
Mercury quintiles Uranus which again solidifies he is an inspired communicator.

I saved the very best for last !

I always knew they were sincerely playing some kind of cosmic tribute to the dead.
I have asteroid Pompeja aka Pompeii 203 bang on my natal Uranus.

David has asteroid Melpomene conjunct Pompeii in Capricorn (earth, past) exactly quintile Chiron Rx (the wounded healer) in Venus-ruled Libra.
OoOoo musical healing across timespace – gives me gooseflesh ! !

Leo rules Italy; Aries and Sagittarius rule Naples.  Pluto and Uranus rule volcanoes. In  79 AD, devastating volcanoes of that magnitude were unheard of.  I will link a doco in comments.

Look to asteroid Pompeii to see how you deal with completely unexpected circumstances that blow your mind and your world inside out.
I guarantee you having Pompeii on Uranus is a wild ride.

Everyone needs friends.
How do you find friends in your natal chart ?

–Venus (friendly)
–Aquarius / Uranus, 11th 
–Jupiter (outgoing)

But that is not all…
Influential friends are Sun.
Long term friends become Saturn.
Friends who protect you are Jupiter.

Closest friends are 7th.
Friends of friends are 9th.

Consider how these planets are placed + aspected in your natal.
I will use myself as an example.

I have Venus conjunct Jupiter in Sun-ruled Leo 8.*
I am friendly and outgoing, but shy, private – they both square Neptune in 11.

I have Sun conjunct Uranus/Pluto.*
By Uranian surprise, I have met many influential powerful people.
If you consider fame power, that is.
Many artists, actors & musicians have crossed my path.
This is due to the influence of Venus (art) & Neptune (film and music).

Friendship is often difficult for me.
Neptune isn’t all sunshine & rainbows – Neptune is also rain, loss.
Sun is gain; but Uranus, separation.
So it goes…

My Sagittarius Mars at the backdoor, trines Saturn 3.
Long-lasting secret (male) protection.
It blows my mind inside out sometimes, but it IS true.
Don’t bother asking – private.

Look up these planets in your natal….what friends do you see ?
::::::::::::::::::::::::

I was nominated for an Earth Goddess award by my new friend Linda here.

Many thanks for the inclusion, here are my answers…

Fave color is dirt.
Specifically red dirt found out in the 4 corners.
tumblr_m1nn2tEqK21r81c8do1_1280Fave phrase rolling off my tongue is…

Lumber

Fave animal I wrote of here, though I see them all as totems & messengers.
Fave drink discovered by goats.
Fave pattern changes as often as I do, today’s is here.
Giving or receiving ? Being a multi-Virgo, I prefer to give.
I love all numbers, vibrations, each has something to teach.
My fave day of the week is the one I am not working; flower is here.
My passion you read here day in and day out.

Working two jobs I just don’t read many other blogs.
I am too busy doing my own writing, client work, finding a spare moment to breathe.
It is fair to say the energy is long term & circular with these peeps.

This is the spirit card aka crux of the cross/sitch/whateves + so apt for my ? !

WTF was all THAT about ?
Humdinger Cross + eclipses, for me were – Crazy on steroids ! …and you ?

8 cups leaves all that shizz behind, is ch-ch-ch-changes in spades.
Load up what’s left of your sanity and move on. 
True that. 

So the answer that delivers the insight we don’t see yet…?
photo 48Five of wands is squabbles – beating the dead zombie with its own leg bone over and over and ovah – then dragging the dead fuq awhile and beating it some more – just for good measure.  
Is it dead yet ?
BAM BAM
It is now.

What is calling (obviously) is – what IS important to you ?
Do we win the battle, but lose the war ?
Only you know the answer.

Rob of Winterfell comes to mind here – obviously, he should have kept his promise.  He should have been an Oathkeeper. (Game of Thrones ref.)
Part of playing the Game of Life is knowing when to walk away and when to run. (Gambler ref)
Know your opponent – esp.  when that opponent is your shadow side.

Promises are Neptune – Moon into Gemini delivers insight into what we have promised ourselves via square to Neptune.  
How we have maintained those vows or how we have in fact, broken them.

Jupiter in Cancer is trine Saturn Rx in Scorpio – water to water – strong emotional bonds are formed when we are honest, open – with each other, and with ourselves.

tumblr_msfe19bqGm1rzadffo1_500Fool is fresh, unblemished and new.
WIDE OPEN and ready to learn through new experiences.
Keep your enthusiasm and let Gemini Moon trine Mars Rx in Libra work for you – they will bubble UP the insights from the Think Tanks.
You may be surprised what surfaces that helps you achieve the love and balance you seek.

peace

Venus in Aries is self-confident, self-assured, impulsive and aggressive due to the influence of Mars.  They love to get things done NOW.  No Waiting !  Just DO it !
If a Venus in Aries likes you, you will know it directly – they are not shy in the least, the chase is fun for them. Venus and Mars energy in tandem makes for a fabulous flirt.

They need to be in charge, run the show and are attracted and attracting (Venus) the same traits – which can lead to tons of action ! with the chosen partner.  When on the same team (Venus working high qi) they are the fastest chariot race in town – when not on the same team, conflicts can get gladiator real quick.

Venus in Aries is enthusiastic – a Martian-driven goal coach who won’t let you take the easy (soft, Venus) way out.  They love to compete and fight for a cause – they value independent spirit above all else, as long as they are still number one in the lead.

Very impatient, demanding and direct, they often seem abrasive to others without meaning to.  Their instinctive need and enthusiasm for fresh new experiences is charming, infectious – conversely it can lead to exhaustion in relationships rather quickly when the level of Mars energy cannot be maintained long term. Patience and harmony and sharing with others must be cultivated for long-term relationships to flourish.

Venus in Aries is your best spunky cheerleader, your enthusiastic feminist friend, your friend who responds to your late-night call to arms in a nanosecond.  Venus in Aries is lusty, brave and inspiring.  They are dynamic idealists unafraid to GO FOR IT in all areas of life, love and war.

swords & roses

Justice_by_KnightFlyte96KnightFlyte96

Themis, the daughter of Gaia and Ouranus, is the oracular voice of the Earth.
She is the goddess of Divine Law and Justice – a seer who presided over the most ancient oracles, including the Delphic oracle.  She is usually pictured blindfolded to represent her impartiality.  Themis judged whether the dead went to Tartarus (hell) or the Elysian Fields (paradise).

Themis is asteroid 24, discovered 1853

Look to your natal Themis to see where you embody divine law, justice and impartiality.  She may seem cold, (science says she is covered with ice) unemotional, but she is in fact – LOGICAL and FAIR.

Her sword cuts both ways.

At eclipse, asteroid Themis is Rx 17 Virgo – trine Mercury, Pluto; quintile Ascendant.
She also opposes Chiron.
Interestingly, when Chiron was discovered, there was a conjunction between Mercury and Sun in Libra.  This Toro eclipse also has a Sun/Mercury conjunction but also with New Moon. New moon beginnings – Virgo Thetis opposite Pisces Chiron – is a call to balance wounding and healing with words through patience and LOVE and forgiveness.

Which side of the blade are you getting / giving ?
Seek the side / choice that brings love and enlightenment.
Be fair.

Found a great interactive map for eclipse visibility HERE.

That was swords.
The draw / personal happenings that inspired the roses are below:

Rosespic, assortment Gneiss Moon
deck Witches Tarot
scarf Asian Eye

A few weeks ago, I decided to feldspar through eclipse season change UPs.  Turns out, I couldn’t even wear labradorite a for full day, it just didn’t feel right.  I picked up my rose quartz and we’ve been bosom buddies ever since. 

A love stone of the heart for the Venusian eclipses.
My guy friends at work gifted me the rhodochrosite pendant, a stone of love and balance when Venus was trine Saturn. 

Rose quartz : Taurus and Libra
Gently removes negativity, produces peace, love and gentleness.  Opens the heart, increases receptivity to art and love.  Promotes balance of the yin-yang energies, emotional healing and relaxation.  Best worn over the heart.
Vibrates to the number 7.

Rhodochrosite : Scorpio and Leo
Rhodon = rose; chros = color. Contains a pulsating electrical energy of love and the golden sphere of light.  Promotes earth healing and caring for our Mother Earth, Gaia.
[This gift is so weird / cool – Toro eclipse is exact opposite my natal Erda.]  Facilitates ordered mental balance, structure, attunement to the higher self and acceptance that leads to highest growth and health.  Works well with Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Relieves narcolepsy.  Best worn on the wrist on the pulse point.
Vibrates to the number 4.

So with the stones of love in mind, I asked what insights can further us all as we gather tools and intents from the dark moon depths prior to a New Moon Eclipse in Taurus.

Justice – Libra – Themis
Cause & Effect; Action & Reaction
Time & Place
Harmony, truth and justice tempered with love.
Mercury as Lord of New Moon/Sun eclipse = thoughts, words, speech, writing. 
Swords slice the Air on Earth.
Weigh your options.

Spirit card crux of sitch: Strength
Quiet personal power, strength of character and confidence.
Endless cycles of power – love eternal.

Harmony, truth and justice tempered with LOVE in all dealings, with self & others.

peace out
