bags of tricks

Posted on by

micro, macroFresh 0 degree Gemini Moon moving to square its ruler Mercury Rx at 3 Pisces delivering split feelings surrounding trains/training of thoughts.
 
Wherever you find your source of optimism – be it in the micro or macro world – it is time to re-think, revise and reinvent the mental approach used when healing the wounds carried deep within.  

Moon moves to square Neptune at 4, then Chiron at 11 – all while Aquarius Sun squares Saturn in Scorpio.  Quiet revolutions take place in our heads every day, but moreso under these aspects.
Jupiter Rx in Cancer trine Chiron in Pisces calls us to be emotionally strong, lead ourselves to the source within through the emotional vision quest.

Mercury Rx in Pisces + soon into Aquarius signals the intellectual vision quest.  
Make this perspective shift work for you by being honest with yourself and your situation.

Doing so will lead to revelations and sublime resolutions at Full Leo Moon.

Mercurial dexterity on deck – shaking UP our bags of tricks.
Be versatile.
Adaptation.  Improvisation. 

This astro is geared for reflection, so remember . . .
Moving slow is still moving !
It will happen exactly when it is meant to.

Glamour in Us

Mercury into Aquarius

Mercury Direct 18 Aquarius

Mercury stations Rx conjunct Neptune in Pisces, trine North Node in Scorpio.
Plucky planet of tricks of perceptions sheds glamour and illusion for a return trip to the house of the global heart, the collective kindred, earthkind. Thoughts are electrified, innovative, yet introspective as we move to a 26 degree Full Moon in Leo on the 14th.
Previous Merc Rx post here.

Full Leo Moon opposes Mercury Rx/Aquarius Sun (Neptune, out of sign) – all square 23 degree Saturn in Scorpio.  Uranus at 10 Aries is also focal planet of heavyweight T-Square Jupiter Rx opposite Venus/Pluto in Capricorn.  Planets near 26 degrees will be out onstage + working this lunation.

News incoming from house Leo in your chart – unexpected and delivered by someone else.  Expect some tension with authority figures, with older men, or at work – take it slow – think 2x, speak once.  Merc Rx, take it out back if you need to let ‘er rip.  Howl it UP all you like, but away from those who sign the paycheck, ya know .?

Mars in Libra is the golden nugget of goodness with a sextile to Moon and a trine to Sun. Balance fought for previously is noticeably achieved on this lunation.  Love and money scenarios stroke the ego/intellect, though they are electric undercurrents by and large.

This lunation propels regeneration energy forward – awareness of where we are in the collective becomes crystal clear, we KNOW our talents and gifts – our rarities ROAR.
We Tune UP the Glamour in Us.
Together.
All ONE.

photo 20Working with my hands, crunching numbers this morning a thought popped in.

What a fucked up way to begin year of the horse.  A man (Philip Seymour Hoffman) whose work I admire loses his battle with heroin addiction.  Heroin aka: horse.

I get messages from the other side all the time, so not wondering where he is, more what he would like to tell us in retrospect.
I decided to ask. I wanted to know.  Addiction sucks, been there.
So, this reading is in a nutshell what PSH would like to tell us.

Phoenix
Element fire, planet, Moon.  Aside from the obvious message of hope he delivers, this card indicates a need for his fans to refresh their spirits with art, music and poetry.
Make a new start, move on.  He encourages this, being an artist himself.

King of Arrows- Kingfisher
Bird of air & water, smart and creative, emotions keen, kingfisher dives into the water.  Arrows obviously refers to needles, this suit is intellect, but it is also strife.  He thought he had it, judged (the amount ?) correctly.  Mercurial thought conjoined Neptunian substances and illusion, this was sadly, not the case.

Bones of Blood
This card is attitude.  Any addict knows the user gets one after a long period of sobriety.  Starts getting cocky, thinking I can handle it now.   Been there.  This is a card of caution for other addicts, like me.

Be at peace, GMA

Feast of Torches

Deluxe Edition Print Original illustration Woodland deer girl Mori GirlIrena Sophia

Cross quarter day, astrologically celebrated at Sun 15 degrees Aquarius.
Imbolc (in the belly)
Oimelc (ewe’s milk)
Briantia, Brigid’s day (Celtic goddess of fire; Britain is derived from her name)
Candlemas (Christianized version)
Lupercalia, Feast of Pan, Feast of Torches, Snowdrop festival are other names given to this celebration.
 
This festival celebrates the light of the Sun returning in the northern hemisphere, while in the southern hemisphere Lughnasadh is celebrated as the sun’s light begins to lessen.

Imbolc is a celebration of the goddess, the return of life with spring.  This is a festival of light, fertility, pregnancy, lactation and birth.  Brigid is goddess of the fire and forge, healing, midwifery, smithcraft and poetry as well.

imagesTraditions are to light fire, celebrate the crones passage into the maiden.  This is a festival of women and their mysteries as well as celebrating strong bonds of sisterhood.

Often crosses are crafted from wheat, they symbolize the sacred round, the wheel of the year.

I also celebrated with fire.  I spent the afternoon/evening relaxing in front of mine and even did a bit of pyromancy.
My fire held a dwarf, which pleased me greatly.

A dream is an answer to a question we haven’t learned to ask.
Special Agent Dana Scully

Pisces void moon Sunday 10:35 am CST, USA
Moon into Aries 10:55 pm Sunday. Previous post on void moons.
Pisces voids are fishy – depth charges into the future past of the emotional collective.
Mercury (stationing Rx in 4 days at 3 Pisces) enhances the nuanced trance dance, recog mission.

My progressed Moon is in Aquarius…buoyant, emotionally detached is an honest blessing at the mo.  Transit Pluto squares transit Uranus which is parked on natal ruler, Saturn (which of course includes a side of tasty squares from Cap/Cancer). Transit Saturn parked on Neptuner (square Venus/Jupes in Leo), transit Neptune square natal Mars at the backdoor.

Conjunctions are power operating + these transits are a good gear shift because being born a Sun/Uranus/Pluto gal – Pluto plowing through my Cap ASC square Uranus is knocking me on my ass and then some.

Outers to outers – savvy to scenes 
Inners to outers – have to hustle the bustle

Natal charts with an abundance of outer planetary contacts in the natal navigate crowds more easily as they are not as personally (planet) invested, involved.  Them.

Those with outer planets in direct contact with personal planets hustle to have balance of exchange between the two.  Contacts, investments are driven by Us.

I recently said look how far we have come ! 
Right now I am in the mindset of look how far we have yet to go.

Reality check, please.
Top of the squares, someone asked me to get back to them living it later as it worked its divine magicks.
Report. Telegram.
Overwhelm.

Question girl is also Answer girl.
Funneling the cosmos into matters, I will expound for all of us.

Lessons on tap:
not knowing all the knots
patience with the process
balance in flux
sensible service
healing the history of herstory
space and solitude speak

in peace, gratitude

Quickie read for more info on energies; intent highest good:

1. T-square featuring Uranus as focal square Jupiter opposite Pluto/Venus.  
Discontinuous Proportion 25 
Important mental tools needed to find commonality in relationships.  There are connections, but many are seen as well as unseen.  Keep senses open to intuitions, impressions for divine sparks of clarity.  
Brainstorms ala Uranus
aka:
Micro present in the macro. 
Macro present in the micro.

2. Mercury trine North Node 
Contrast 17. Sensing the difference, compare and contrast, compensation of energies are in play.  Communications/ thoughts crafted towards destiny.  
Fixed Scorpio meets Mutable Pisces – both water – entirely different vibes.
Reconciling inner thoughts, feelings, desires – emo sword to the hilt, twist.
Mental masturbation, memories.

May I introduce Billy Boyd.
Billy is a not only a multi-Virgo with my heart up his sleeve, Billy is a Virgo wonderment. 
My Virgo stellium looks like chump change next to his.  Dig it !

Virgo
Sun 4
Jupiter 13
Pluto 22
Mercury 22
Venus 23
Uranus 28

Now THAT is a stellium.

Billy ScotsSix Virgo Planets, Mars in Leo, Saturn Rx in Aries.
Outbound expression of Leo creativity via Mars power trine North Node of Destiny & Chiron Rx in Aries circumscribed by intense intellectual analyzation. + Cheeky !
Goal-enriched, focused, streamlined creativity.

Virgo restraint is brought to a crux by Pluto, Mercury, Venus (22,22,23) respectively; tight triple conjunction, mind you – straight to the chase, he is.  Perceptual shifts ongoing, daily routine reveals sacred patterns, philosophical shifts and psychological breakthroughs revealed via a mind busy with practical matters.

Virgo Pluto, Mercury/Venus are tightly sextile 23 Neptune in Scorpio, leading to much opportunity and ultimately success on stage in theater (Mars, Leo) as well as (Neptune ruled) film and music. Billy has an amazing voice, Beecake is fantastic, see vids in comments.  Well done.

Billy spies appleSaturn Rx as Yod focal point indicates adaptation, improvisation re: elements & modalities in re: to work, identity, intellect and expressing desires.  Points of a Yod see, feel and react differently – integration, co-operation needed; adaptation, improvisation on call.

Saturn Rx is not only in its fall, but also retrograde – which makes the reconfiguration of actions undergo continual reconsideration.  Actions are slowed and internalized while figuring out how to best express them.  Growing older, at which point expressing the planetary energy has been perfected, the energy is delivered outwardly.  (I have Saturn Rx in Aries, as does Thom Yorke.)  Seeking perfection is inherent – streamlined power in progress, editing on hand 24/7.  Aries Saturn as focal point indicates the need to overcompensate, overachieve and cover all the bases prior to action as well as in the process of doing it.
 Stardust and Melancholy photoStardust and Melancholy

North Node in Aries calls the spirit forth to bushwhack a new trail via impulse & instinct, the emphasis is on self-acceptance rather than seeking accolades through others.  Chiron Rx here is much the same, leading with the spirit of connection, new beginnings, meet/greet/make it neat (fast), move on.

Fire signs (as well as any planets therein) are the cheerleaders of the zodiac; Aries, doubly so – they are the I AM / WE ARE doing it FIRST primal people.  Aries North Node of Destiny, Chiron Rx, Saturn Rx are notable as they are Cardinal – focusing the drive of Billy’s mutable (adaptable) plow.  Mars in Leo is fixed, creative and backing with major powerhouse instinctual energy towards destiny via trine.

Cardinal inspiration, ideas, creativity, exceptionally vibrant healing* are given the reins here especially during fire sign transits. *For those who are of the *Chiron rules Virgo crowd; Sun & Chiron are in tandem giving and receiving great reception as Sun is exalted in Aries.

Beecake BillyBeecake on Twitter

Saturn prominent not only indicates restriction, but also older people, authority figures, ambitions a long-standing career and a love of work.  Billy lost his parents at a very young age and was raised by his grandmother.  Pluto, Mercury 22; Venus 23 Virgo indicates a woman stepping into his life to undertake personal responsibilities while he was young during a major life transition. (Pluto, death, transformation; Mercury, youth; Venus female; Virgo service to others.)  As a comparison, I’ll pop in my own deets: I’m Saturn ruled (in 3, siblings) all bros & sis are over 12 + years older than me.

Note current astro transits: Transiting Capricorn Pluto; Venus direct trine Virgo Jupiter (beneficial, though transformative change via art, communications, balance); Jupiter Rx sextile Virgo Jupiter (opportunity expansion); as well as transiting Uranus conjunct North Node of Destiny.  Uranus rules astrology…and you, my friend, are up to bat this time.  Welcome.
