Mercury Direct 18 Aquarius

Mercury stationing Rx while conjunct Neptune in Pisces, trine North Node in Scorpio is the last intellectual dip into emotional deep wondering wandering woolgathering waters.
All brain pistons firing on reviewing and recalibrating how we will be in service to and execute the crafting of our desired destiny.

First the intuition of the creative spirit moves us, then as Mercury moves into Aquarius, the creative intellectual spirit moves us to revise and reinvent old patterns of action in order to attract more balance into our daily lives.  This is particularly strong with Mercury trine to Mars in Libra.

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
-William Blake

Judgement is all symbols simultaneously, innocence and experience joined.
It is the highest exaltation of life, through death and rebirth are redemption via change.  
A new consciousness awakens, arises; change in the face of everything.

Ace is the purest form of creative action, a seed of strength, energies channelled by the will and the power that drives personal expression.  Fire in the belly and wings of the spirit moving outward onward and upward – monumental momentum – seeing and sensing the world – vision crafted into unique creation from your own hands.

The creative process in full blood.

New Moon 10 Aquarius
Thursday January 30
3:39pm CST, USA

Venus direct 13 Capricorn
Friday 31
2:49pm CST, USA

New Moon sextile the ruler of Aquarius, Uranus, shifts perspectives, delivers electricity and a fabulous chance to break free into house Aquarius.
Check what house it lands in your chart, for specifics.

Aquarians are re-inventing themselves with this new moon.  Toros and Scorps are delivered creative tension, obstacles to overcome that make them hustle.  Libras and Gems find creative, intellectual ideas spin easily.  Aries and Sagittarius are called to shift perspectives, make new starts, esp. with others.

New moon, fresh starts.
Set your intent and move it on UP.

House Aries is one to watch – Uranus is focal point of a T-Square with Venus Rx/Pluto in Capricorn opposite Jupiter Rx in Cancer.  Home, teaching, networking, women, family and career are pushing forward in revolutionary ways.

Pisces Chiron is trine Jupiter Rx in Cancer at this lunation bringing super philosophical personal healing up from the depths of the well.  Chiron is also sextile Venus Rx/Pluto indicating deep rotted (ha mistyped, apt, leaving it) and deep-rooted healing is available if we only knock at the door of our own personal power.

Uranus waits for none, shifts gears instantly.  In tandem with this new Moon/Sun quincunx Jupiter Rx, we are adapting, expanding, changing attitudes and altitudes.   Venus and Jupiter Rx in closed mouth, restrictive signs, during a dark moon it is more like a rolling boil of pressure to succeed, our foundations in our world are shifting quietly, profoundly.

New Moons in Aquarius in particular are great for change – BIG change, breaking free, eccentric brainpan insight zaps will be in full force.
Use all the insights gleaned from Venus/Jupes Rx digging deep in the past, in the cerebral root cellar to propel you forward, to incite the desired change in your world at this new moon.

Peace

mercurial minutia

Quickie transit illustration of my weird astro minutia.

T. waning void moon (home) in Virgo conjunct natal Sun/Ura/Plu (self, health).
Mars (action) conjunct natal Mercury. (doors)
T. Uranus (high winds) conjunct natal Saturn (cold) in 3 (doors again) which trines Mars by the backdoor (12th house Sag) which in turn Q natal Uranus.

Worked all day (fulltime gig) & night (here at GMA) Sunday with the beginnings of sore throat.  Last night (Monday), restless sleep, crazy wind gusts. We were under a weather advisory (-10 + blizzard) that I was not aware of before retiring.

I wake up early am for meds to alleviate stomach issues (moon rules) found my backdoor was flung wide open and blowing snow was all over my living room, not to mention it was very cold.  Indeed, I now definitely have a sore throat. (My natal moon is in Toro (the throat) in 4 (home).

Had I read my cards last night this 5 pentsprobably would have come up, but alas, I did not.

Yet another good reason for 2 daily draws says T. Mars on Mercury in Libra, Moon in Libra.

Noted. Lesson learned.  (Mercury)

Fantastic body art for Capricorn Venus Rx !
(Saturn rules Cap is the body; Venus art)

Moon in Libra (art, beauty,diplomacy) coming to oppose Uranus, square Pluto /Venus Rx in Capricorn (two more degrees until she stations direct 10 days from now).  Insights, instincts, intellect sharp – changes desired re: relationships, money, work will be on point, obvious.
Aha ! eureka moments incoming via another – relationships, working together, the dawn of understanding. 

Moon will then trine Mercury in Aquarius, conjunct Mars in Libra, close the square to Pluto /Venus Rx..  Inventive, creative communications are powered up – use eccentric ideas wisely, detach from overblown sentimentality (square Jupiter Rx in Cancer) think instead expanding philosophies, ethics, learning and teaching possibilities.

Moon into Scorpio
Thursday 23 3:43pm CST, USA

Libra is Venus ruled – that means not only women (Moon), art, but money as well. 
Changing the conceptualization of money in the brainpan creates dramatic shifts in how our relationship to $$$ feels – which leads to changes in how we handle money outwardly.  Check out these savvy gals as they reveal in bullet-point style how they changed their mindsets, took control and began to prosper.  Great lead in to Scorp Moon as well – other people’s money, sharing of resources.

I love my work – both jobs, my full time position as well as what I create here at GMA.
I want more money resources so I can 1. help myself  2. help others.  Uranus/Pluto in square is hitting home for me (I am Virgo Sun/Uran/Plu 9) in re: to serving others that are less fortunate. My Leo Venus/Jupes 8 squares Neptune 11, and I not only want to help others, I need to.
Uranus and Pluto in square is calling all humanitarians forward into the light.  For far too long greedy corps have sucked our people and world dry of all resources.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

MLK TNHDr. Martin Luther King Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh

I just found out Dr. King nominated Thich for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. 
Very cool. 
I posted a fab vid The Great Bell Chant featuring Thich many moons ago here. 
If you want to help nominate Thich for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, you can help make it happen here.

Thich is a Libra Sun trine Aquarius Jupiter – obv. a peaceful humanitarian teacher of balance.  Scorpio Saturn trine Uranus in Pisces – strong cut to the humanitarian chase zen master vibe.  Venus in Libra, ruling (peace).

Fixed Grand Cross points are Jupiter Aquarius (progressive philosophies), Mars in Toro (stubborn peacenik),  Neptune in Leo (willpower for the collective), Saturn in Scorp (working for metamorphosis)  Ck the letter in the link above re: fire.  Chilling. 
He is extremely aware (oppositions) of the suffering of others and has worked his daily practice into a long journey of teaching by setting an example.

Fixed peeps are amazingly fixed.  Stable in values and ideas, famously immovable.  Saturn trine Uranus water to water deeply desires and works hard to change the world via compassion (Pisces), felt doubly so with Cancer Pluto trine Saturn as well.

Witness: this fixed cross is a stellar example of how tough aspects can be made to work for you through perseverance.  Meeting struggles daily brings strength over time – chop wood, carry water.  Be here now.  Repeat.

Quickie transit deets: T. Mercury (mentors, talking) conjunct natal Jupiter; T. Venus opp natal Pluto (status as peacemaker); T. Jupiter Rx conjunct natal NNode (here to achieve); T. NNode conjunct natal Mercury (now he is the mentor) in Scorp; T. Uranus square natal NNode in Cancer (public).

My friend shared this with me, love it.
If you dwell too much in the past you are depressed, if you are living in the future you are anxious, if you are present in the now you are at peace.

bridges across the chasms

Posted on by

zodiac_constellations Enclyclopedia of Scienceimage: Encyclopedia of Science

Love LOVE LOVE the wheel.
Quote I read earlier spun me off into thinking of bridges.

You may see with your eyes, but what matters is what you feel with your heart, for your heart senses the way.  Aqua/Leo axis

Seeing into the distance
Feeling leaps of faith
Karmic serendipity
(Jupiter Rx in Cancer opp Venus Rx conj Pluto Cap)

Please read the natural chart below from birth to death and rebirth as follows:
Leap of faith from Aries beginnings to Taurus to Gemini is beginning to have sensations of cerebral growth and so forth…
That is birth onward.

For rebirth insights, read natural chart backwards from bottom up.

Keen insight comes when you apply each to the houses where they fall in your chart.
Therein lies your personal leaps of faith – your bridges across the chasms. 

Aries: having beginnings (2/1)
Taurus: cerebral sensations (3/2)
Gemini: feelings are flexible (4/3)
Cancer: will of the well (5/4)
Leo: specific speculations (6/5)
Virgo: to balance we bind (7/6)
Libra: power of partnerships (8/7)
Scorpio: truths are transforming (9/8)
Sagittarius: practicing philosophies (10/9)
Capricorn: innovations achieved (11/10)
Aquarius: universally unique (12/11)
Pisces: flowing is outgoing (12/1)

Thinking of transits
Uranus opposition
 – – Done !   Got fired up – ass over teakettle in astro, began writing here at GMA.

Saturn currently has half my chart in vice grips.
– – Work feels better, move it on UP. One more sign to go before I close the square.

I am (we are) halfway (+) through 7 Uranus Pluto squares (2011-2015). ! !
– – Wow.  This has the other half of my chart.
I know, soOo much more yet to do, but look how far we have come !

::::::::::::::::
So onto what prompted this, aside from my whack transits.
I read a bit of  Psychic Shield by C. Matthews, was intrigued by something I read.

::::::
In order to shield and protect [paraphrase] something we must first know its inner core, its nature.   When trauma shakes us off/out of our center, something else* may enter to take its place.  *aka: bad juju, no good
::::::

This struck me as being absolutely directly related to Uranus-Pluto squares which are delivering change after change after change.  We are slowly being thrown off kilter,  we are shifting gears for the steep grade, sharp curves – our centers are changing as we do.
 
Soul re-alignment, reset reboot via Saturn in Scorpio mutual reception Pluto in Capricorn – they support each other.
We delve deep, reassess the sitch, heal foundational structures, slowly rebuild.
Our center likely rotates around our ‘core center’ just like the Sun does in our galaxy under different aspects . . . just be aware of it, work with it. 

This is a continual process, a journey – – not a singular event.

If you are knocked off center ffs :: Time Out :: regroup.  Adaptation, improvisation. Find your center – – that which pleases you, that which makes you feel love and loved, rooted to your place in the world tree.   Rework game plan, stand on your head – see the roots in the branches – meeting together in the middle in the heart center.
Bad vibes are more likely to increase/enter in our vicinity when we ignore our intuition,  force matters when they should flow.

Light on your feet, bob & weave, warp & weft.

Intent: highest outcome, brilliant insights
1 Left card: Venus Rx energies –Venus Rx interp here
2 Right card: Venus as she approaches Pluto in Cap
3 Bottom card popped out: special message of import !

1 Hidden world of secrets, knowledge and wisdom – power of sexuality, traditionally feminine roles (mother, wife) transmuted into seeking power through the divine. Occult mysteries are brought to light with this retrograde through the sign of the mystical sea goat.
Shades and signs of the moon guide intuition rightly when we are attuned to the natural world around us.

2 Power to use (Pluto/Capricorn) all elements (fire, earth, air, water, ether) to turn the tide of your life via intent and practical magick.  Everything you require is within your grasp, you need only work with the energies wisely.  Use your will to weave the energies warp and weft – strengthen yourself and your world.  Focus, meditate, apply wisdom.

3 Vigilance, spying, watching.  (Particularly totem animals, birds + young people.)   Quick minds see all, studious undertakings, writing, communicating (particularly singing) when called for.
