Mercury into Pisces Monday March 17, 5:24pm CT USA London 10:24pm Tuesday, March 18, 7:24am Tokyo Mercury into Aries April 7
Intent: show me a card that will lead us to our sharpest insight; aid in leading us towards our highest manifestations for Mercury’s transit through Pisces.
So very compelling this card came up. Fiery red horse of the Second Seal, the rider holds the sword of war and peace. Such a vivid image for the highest number of emotional cups, yes ? Ten has reached peak experience, must renew at one.
Bloodlines moving from generation to generation. The wheel of the heart pumping as we push forward on earth, stewards of the royal blood of the living. Pumping in our veins is ancient lineage. We are made of stars. We are of the God/Goddess. We are also of the Chaos/Abyss.
The riders pictured are mother and child – the Memento Mori – latin for remember your mortality. Death is the great leveler, taking equally, often without warning. Love, joy and also sorrow, loss are interconnected in the vast cosmic sea of ALL ONE.
Squeeze the life out of every moment while alive.
Experience the whole color spectrum, each dimension, experience – fully.
Changing fortunes in matters of the heart & mind over matter. Carpe Diem.
After my marathon induction into The Walking Dead, I ran up Norman’s chart since the archer, Daryl had some weird accident co-incidences with one of my brothers (the eldest). It turns out Norman himself has some weird accident coincidences with my youngest brother as well. For the record, I don’t want to give the impression I only enjoy Norman’s work on The Walking Dead because that is not the case at all – I enjoy the entire cast and their work immensely.
The Walking Dead speaks to me of the current aspect Uranus square Pluto all over (high octane personal metamorph 24/7), as well as my specific aspects Mercury (walking) Sun/Ura/Plu in 9. I find TWD incredibly dense, emotionally rich, psychologically intense & surprising. Every single episode delivers new perspectives and ideas to chew on afterwards – I love it – fantastic work writers, cast & crew – thank you.
I was wondering how working on TWD has changed cast members (specifically Norman’s) viewpoints on life and death. Probably because TWD changed mine – for the better. (No deets, it’s private.) Then it occurred to me the car wreck Norman survived in 2005 (imdb) was likely more of a catalyst in that philosophical realm.
Norman was passenger (Gemini/Mercury/3rd rules) in a car that was hit by an 18 wheeler, he went through the windshield, sustained serious head injuries and survived. My youngest brother was not so lucky, he died in a car crash and his daughter had severe brain trauma sustained from their wreck. (She is doing very well now after years of hard work, thank you.)
I read about Norman’s titanium eye socket, and being a curious regenerative astrocat, I had to hunt up the deets to see what Norman’s transits and progressions were in late Feb of 2005. Only then the similarities between Norman’s chart and my brother’s dawned on me, so here I am, writing another accident astrology post for Mars Rx in Libra.
Mars Rx in Libra is researching self-reliance, resiliency and balance, reconciliations, re-thinking how, where and when to re-apply force. It is the study of creative directions.
Bringing Balance to the Force. C’mon…you had to know I was gonna go there, right ? lol
Mars rules accidents. Incidentally, transiting Mars Rx was applying conjunct my natal Uranus at the time of my brother’s death – he was a double Aquarian.
First – full disclosure: This Capricorn Rising failed her Saturn return.
Saturn was smack on my natal Aries Saturn Rx when my brother died, my niece landed in the hospital near me for months on end, while my family tried to gain custody of her. Prior to that my folks house caught on fire, and they were both diagnosed with cancer. Pretty heavy stuff.
I could have handled it better, but then hindsight’s 20/20 isn’t it ? My own years of debilitating sickness followed Saturn return and I have worked slowly, steadily since then to improve my mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health.
Astrological know-how has been immensely helpful along with savvy card reading, I can see hard times coming and prepare. I know how long I have to grit my teeth and deal until the transit passes.
What you read here at GMA are gifts of the millstones.
I finally figured out how to work Aries Saturn Rx trine Sag Mars at the backdoor properly – less going on tour, more quiet spiritual work.
::::::::::: Heads up under 30 peeps, learn your lesson from me – Saturn return will test you.
Work hard, stay clean, use your head, ask for help if you need it and you’ll be fine.
There is a Saturn return calculator on the sidebar. (Usually around ages 29, 57, 85)
:::::::::::: This is my youngest brother with snake (Scorpio rising). I neglected to mention earlier both of my older brothers were/are archers, crafting longbows and recurves. So yeah, weird similarities with Norman, who I hear is an excellent shot with a longbow. I dig it.
Now, onto the similarities…
First, my brother’s natal T square + Saturn aspects:
Aquarius Moon/Sun/Venus and Mercury in 3 opposite Pluto Rx in Leo most elevated. Mercury & Pluto square Mars (strong, conjunct ASC from 12) – Mars is focal planet.
Pluto is ruler.
Third house luminaries square Saturn in Scorpio 12th; Moon exact.
Third house/Mercury rule short distance travel.
My brother died about a mile from his house, though he nearly died years before in Florida (Pluto 9, long distance travel) when he was 25 or so, got filled up with metal then, after that wreck.
Accident deets:
Mars Rx in Mercury-ruled Virgo applying square to Prog Mars
Prog Sun exact conjunct natal Mercury square natal Mars
Prog Moon square natal Jupiter, prog Mars
Transit Pluto Rx applying to ASC, square prog Mercury
Transit Jupiter exact natal Sun square natal Saturn
Transit Uranus applying to natal Moon square natal Saturn
Transit Chiron Rx square natal Mercury, square transit Neptune
Transit Mercury square natal Uranus Rx
Lots of squares, indicating very restless energies looking for expression. Most definitely a time for caution, being on guard, circumspect.
Now for Norman, pictured above with one of his many crossbows.
Norman reports his wreck happened when he was headed home after an REM gig during the Berlin Film Fest in February of 2005, so I ran up the progs and transits to see what came up for Feb 14, 2005.
First off, Mercury (rules passengers) square Mars can indicate traveling accidents.
Mars in Scorpio is regenerative power and transmutation, possibly brushes with death when Mars is under tough aspects and transits/progs activate them.
The likelihood of another Mars focal point is what caught my eye.
For the record, I think Norman’s a Scorp rising (puts moon early/mid teen degrees).
He has 3 deamon tats, Omen is one of his fave movies, generally known for playing killers, gunmen etc…
Norman’s natal Mars (accident) deets.
Natal Mars in Scorpio square Mercury (similar).
Mercury opposite Leo Moon (how tight this aspect ?, tricky – Moon moves quickly)
Mars square Leo Moon. (Again, tricky, but I give a wider orb with the luminaries.)
He also has Sun square Saturn in its fall in Aries. Aries rules the head; also Germany.
Accident deets: Transit Mars square natal Jupiter
Transit Mars square prog Venus
Prog Mercury square natal Mars
Transit Sun/Mercury square natal Neptune
Transit Saturn Rx square natal Aries Saturn (progressed Saturn exact)
Transit Pluto square natal Pluto
Transit Chiron applying to natal and progressed Mercury
There was an Aquarius stellium at the time of Norman’s accident.
Venus/Neptune conjunct within one degree; Sun/Mercury exact conjunct – Jupiter trine all of it from Libra. Triple benefics (Sun, Venus, Jupiter) at work. North Node of Destiny and transit Pluto in exact trine in fire signs (energy).
This is good.
A friend (Venus/Aquarius) translated for him, Norman had surgery and lives to tell the tale. Interestingly, Norman actually ditched his hospital stay early, flew back to LA to film the autobiographical short film, Meet Me in Berlin, linked below.
Interview here.
Titania’s deck, easy to see, yes…? I chose it for that very reason.
Tiny card in lower left is from the Psychic Tarot of the Heart.
I chose it as additional crux card.
It is card 17 Heal, a man breaking chains of confinement.
Heal is companion to the Star card in the trad tarot deck.
Hope. (Mine) aura, vibrations.
Question: Where are the 239 people of missing flight 370 ?
Moon card was charged as ‘people/group’ card.
That is 5 of 1 btw., which further supports my new moon theory below.
Grand Tableaus take up to an hour to read there is layers of deep info. Now that I am feeling more or less human again after a week long battle with cold/flu, I have lots of catching up to do with paying gigs, so I will make this concise.
Coffin on Rider not good, Cross backing it up is loss, sorrowful burden w/out a doubt.
I def got loss of what little communication was present (scythe to birds).
Two signals (birds is two) being tracked. Also I know documents fall under letter, but passports specifically delineate homeland so I am going with house (knighting clouds and tower) as fake gov’t docs (house also knights stork/mountain) aka get outta jail free.
I will add here, storks is often a promotion, a step up or free flight; I am using stork for what was going on after 370 went off radar aka left the nest, so to speak.
Seems the plane circled back around (stork knighting ring/garden) because there were two destinations, possibly two planes. (birds/house knighting stork; ship mirror birds)
Electrical issues with comms (heart on scythe/sun on birds knighting ship aka plane).
Ship (plane) flies over fish on key so I don’t think it sank as much as landed in the wrong place (anchor fox) which at this point remains a mystery. (Key on clouds)
Plane def met with huge blockage via bear/mountain.
I find it very interesting that star is the crux card drawn as well. Star is a card of hope and guidance, wishes and success.
Hope remains but the people are in the wrong place (star knights house/fox), also I gather separated by gender. (Man woman far apart as well as scythe knighting anchor/lily on roads; anchor knighting birds/scythe) Men outside or favored in some way (man /sun), women in a walled (on house coffin) or otherwise confined area, also either public or gathered in a group (garden/woman). Man is on house whip signaling arguments and strife between men re: peace (whip on lily).
By new Moon we will have more info (book open to child on house moon) and it likely will involve asking for ransom of some kind – the literal flow of something is imminent.
This situation is not necessarily evil, but has the earmarks of being very complicated snake mirrors ring. Snake mirroring ring is also commitment to clever thinking and repeats/search parameters. Social climbing likely (dog on stork/snake on dog).
Oddball left field bits:
It strikes me how literal that last card is “if you want your family back” tree on cross (lower back).
Bear and Mountain, Himalayas region, obviously…also possibly near *Burma…?
(Star features prominently in their flag.)
The 239 know they are being looked for (Moon on star; also current Uranus – rules aviation – focal point T-Square) which helps give them strength. (Clouds on flowers/flowers on bear)
Mars rules accidents, aggression – is now Rx in Libra (partnerships/open enemies).
*Burma (now Republic of the Union of Myanmar) and Tibet are Libra ruled, please note that the upcoming April Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is at 25 Libra in the Cardinal Grand Cross; at which time Venus will trine Jupiter in Cancer. Venus and Moon rules public matters, Jupiter foreign matters. More news is forthcoming, until then If I were searching, I would look near the southern Himalayas.
Edit: Moon knighting key on clouds/ lily on roads highlights peace regardless of outcome – found or not.
ALSO NOTE: I am not placing blame or fault on anyone, place, people or thing.

This draw is the crux of what will carry us to New Moon at 9 degrees Aries Sunday March 30 Chicago 1:45:00am Tokyo 3:45:00pm London 7:45:00am
Excellence in creative realms, love scenarios, brilliant mystique surrounding artistry. New Moon/Sun are conjunct Uranus in Aries which is of course squaring Jupiter in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn.
Leading up to New Moon, Venus will begin to trine Mars Rx in Libra from Aquarius. Brilliant juggernaut brainstorms are on the horizon that will lead you to your destiny – Mars is conjunct North Node.
Actions previously taken will be revised and balance will be the key to your success. Note swans indicate grace, intuition, balance and self-esteem. Consider these things as full moon dims and is reborn anew in Aries.
Sunday March 16 Chicago 12:05:00 PM London 5:05:00 PM Tokyo Monday, March 17, 2014 at 2:05:00 AM Full Moon 26 degrees Virgo
Full Moon illuminates house Virgo: health, (mental, physical) organization/efficiency of daily routines, as well as practical service to others. Opposition lies with Sun in House Pisces, global healing, sacrifice for the greater good, spiritual health and idealistic service to the whole.
Find balance between the two – collect correlations, explore options, seek understanding. In event of an emergency, put the oxygen mask on yourself first, then the person next to you.
Full Moon is ruled by Mercury (in Aquarius) which is trine (Mars and) North Node in Libra. Destiny tip-off: use balanced thinking, speech, be clear, be direct – follow suit with actions. Moon grows to full in sextile to Saturn Rx in Scorpio. Use your own voice. You are the only one alive who can. Speak your viewpoint of the world clearly, succinctly.
Uranus is moving to perfect the square to Pluto in Capricorn while also square Jupiter in Cancer (which in turn opposes Pluto). I found what I was looking for in the Jupiter Rx whirlpool (thank goddess) if you did, you will also begin to apply those newfound feel-good philosophies with more gusto now – starting within the realms of home, family and where you feel secure – slowly moving outward from there.
Pluto renovates the fort in old school Capricorn changing all we deem USEless into the USEful. Home and Career and wherever house Capricorn and Cancer land in your chart are getting metamorphosis big time – as well as house Aries where things are getting more than a little weird. (Uranus)
Uranus (in Mars-ruled Aries) is the wildcard innovating changes and perspective shifts 24/7. This full Moon highlights balanced health & communications. Thoughtful ponderations & changes surrounding both. WhereHouseVirgo lands in your natal will be further highlighted.
I never could bear the idea of anyone expecting something from me. It always made me want to do just the opposite. ::: Jean-Paul Sartre :::
One day into snazzy weird Venus, I’m sending rogue reiki & getting aliens in the mail. Fantastic ! I love feeling the warmth in my hands as the energy flows…
Venus and Mercury in Aquarius* fuel harmonious mindsets (fixed sign) friendships and curious change UPs from left field; conversely, also odd separations. Mercury trines Mars Rx while square Saturn Rx, social shake-ups clear the air. Be honest, fair, direct.
Note: Uranian/Aquarius* energy will not take the bit. Whispering is in order.
Keep in mind Mars is busy navel (Venus rules) gazing, not necessarily shooting straight at the mo. Jupiter is closing opposition to Pluto in Capricorn again, feelings dredged up in the whirlpool / nautilus shell of Cancer will be transformed via another. Surprise perspective shifts imminent.
Venus into Aquarius 3:03pm CST, USA Venus into Pisces April 5
Highest manifestation of this transit distilled into one card. (Obv, more on this transit/placement later, as time permits.)
King and Queen married in the tomb of death, time and eternity – creation and destruction. Balance of worlds, dimensions. Timelessness.
Fertile rains on wasted lands, immortality born of the creative spark. Connectedness via the human electrical grid, the eternal soul within the body. Opposites brought together without separation of ego – commonality of life, symmetrical power, the elixir of life, shared.
Kundalini serpent power, raw energy, pure energy. LOVE Redemption, renewal, transmutation via synergy. HEALING Clear vision between worlds, people. SIGHT
