Mesmerizing Grace Jones.
I was transfixed as a teen by her stunning individuality and provocative presence. I read, watched everything I could get about her then, and I still have a pic of her from an old Creem mag from ages ago – and obviously Zula was a win for Conan freaks like me.  When I saw this cleverly caustic video ripping corporate culture, I had to look up her deets !

Taurus Sun and North Node; Libra Moon/Neptune – Venus co-rules both signs – so yes incredibly artistic, knock-out gorgeous and with Venus in Moon-ruled Cancer, she is all woman, very feminine.

Yet Grace possesses such an unusually innovative femininity.  Mercury conjunct (its higher communication octave) Uranus (the unique) in Gemini while trine to Libra Moon/Neptune delights !  – delivering an edge of rebellion and a revolutionary approach to conventional, traditional beauty.  Gemini thinks about Libra balance; tinkers and tweaks the thought processes of the public re: image. (Moon, Venus)

Grace exudes refined intellectualism (Mars in Virgo as well) coupled with the rolling thunder sensuality of her Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Leo aka. formidable willpower to transform through artistic creativity.

Mercury/Uranus opposite Jupiter in Sagittarius (sign it rules) is pushing the edges, the awareness of boundaries (gender, race, power) exploring the philosophies of people and the inter-relations between them on both a personal and global scale.

Grace has Jupiter in Sagittarius – both rule the legs and thighs.
BAM !  GAMS !

This card carries the vibration of North Node in Scorpio.
I wanted to know what we should focus on that would produce the most insight, the best most benevolent outcome for all.
:::::::::::::::::::
Eight of Stones – SKILL – Earth

Eight is ruled by Mars, it is a number representing power, strength, effort, success and regeneration.  Eight is a number of leadership, management and accumulating wealth.

Those born with eight life path are inspired visionaries who tend to focus on structures and long-term goals.  They naturally seek positions of influence, being good team leaders and a good judge of character.
::::::::::::::
This is the apprentice to master card – the card of work and perfecting that work.
The hand glyph represents The Maker.
Interestingly, hands are Mercury ruled, something to ponder as the octaves of communications are in flux.  I work with my hands when my mind wants to get me into trouble.  I have Merc MC & Gem on the 6th, I love to work with my hands.

Mercury Direct 13 degrees Cancer

(out of shadow 2 weeks later)

 Practicality is highlighted with Saturn in Scorpio as part of a Grand Water Trine with Neptune Rx, Mars/Jupiter.  Trines are fabulous harmony – yet they require work and skill to be highly successful.
Moon is nearly conjunct Saturn in Scorpio, pondering Emotional Practicality is a key to open doors of insight.  Apply the same practicality to home, family – streamline.
USE your tools wisely.
heh.  Make of that what you will.
North Node is where we need to focus to create our future path…
It is the satisfying struggle rather than the idle complacency of South Node.

Wrote about this before here.
::::::::::::::::::::::::
A bit to add to it – stress and tension re: feelings via others is escalating via Mars meeting up with Jupiter in Cancer at 4 degrees – opposing the energies of Pluto in Capricorn while Uranus squares both.

Aka:  Big feelings, memories, restriction, release and transformation of the old while heading for the new.  Uranus Rx is a full stop turnaround to re-think what direction we want to plow towards to create the new NEW.
Uranus knows  – we already know where we need to go.
Coming to grips with how to get there, is another matter altogether.

Home (Cancer) Work (Capricorn) and Self (Aries)
in flux while we figure it out.

Cardinals like to keep it moving, so revolutionary ideas about style of competition and personal identification are likely to be popping UP fast and furious.  Ride it out.

Mercury direct in trine to North Node in Scorpio – gaze deeply into your eyes, into the well of your psyche.  Feel your desires, your soul.   Your instincts will guide you true.
High qi – be it light !

Mars moves to meet Jupiter in a Grand Water Trine with Saturn and Neptune Rx  – everything at 4 degrees will feel the energy voosh UP a notch.  This aspect strengthens as the end of the week nears and the conjunction grows tighter to exact on the 21st.

This is a fabulous time to be bold and express yourself, though yes, the octaves of communication are in flux, Mars meeting Jupiter is Grand Passionate, ACTION with a flair of enthusiasm and broad stroke of LUCK.

sharply defined barrier

Posted on by

The brain – in particular the left-side linguistic/logical part, that which generates our sense of rationality and the feeling of being a sharply defined ego or self – is a barrier to our higher knowledge and experience.

Certain members of the scientific community who are pledged to the materialist worldview, have insisted again and again that science and spirituality cannot coexist.

They are mistaken.

The unconditional love and acceptance that I experienced on my journey [NDE] is the single most important discovery I have ever made, or will ever make.

Virgo 15th Century
Moon into Virgo
5:12 CST, USA

Moon currently in late Leo, Mars in late Gemini.
Ideas born rapid-fire from the brainpan.

When emotional Moon meets the sign of Virgo, details become paramount and creative play manifests into creative work, with a sextile to Saturn in Scorpio and a trine to Pluto in Capricorn.

Grand Water Trine greases (Neptune, rules oil) the intuitive, emotional gears while Mars in Gemini dexterity funnels the intellectual into the material with an out of sign trine to Saturn in Scorpio.

Mars void until it powers into Cancer at 8:22am CST, USA on Saturday 13th.  Do not poke the bear, maintain zen normality.

Whistle while you work.
Very Virgo – whistling is Mercury.

Saturday 13 Mars into Cancer;  Saturday 20 Mercury Direct in Cancer

Mars dives into Cancer into a Grand Water Trine on a Virgo Moon (daily routine) with Mercury (rules Virgo) in Reset Mode.
Mars will conjunct Jupiter in Cancer, trine Neptune Rx in Pisces and Saturn in Scorpio.

Mars is action; Neptune divination (dowsing); Saturn TIME; Moon INSTINCTS; Virgo practical daily magic, ROUTINE.

Mars in Cancer is Cardinal Water Action– that means Water Crashes, Flows, Falls, Rises. Energies of Mars + Cancer INITIATE  – conjunct Jupiter =
BIGTIME INTENSE INTUITION & INSTINCTS

Water flows around obstacles, freezes and cracks bedrock, heats into steam and rises into the air.

Something has been on my mind – why can’t people trust their own instincts ?
Honestly, it drives me nuts !

This of course comes from a rebellious self-taught Virgo Sun-Uranus-Pluto in 9th house of expansion perspective.  History yes, I AM Saturn Rx ruled after all – I get it.
Get the facts, know your product – build the foundation and work UP.

Witness GMA.
Thank you.

What is bugging me is . . .
Lately I have repeatedly witnessed the clamouring cacophony of: I need THE book, the secret formula, the secret diary of the Sacred Sibyl signed in blood and rubbed with wart of toad so I can ‘get IT‘.   Gimme the Cliff’s Notes – NOW.

Ridiculous.
If you want to know how to read tarot, tea leaves, bones, stones or totems or clouds . . .
START READING THEM DAILY
Take notes and apply the sitch to your life, what comes up ?
Now YOU KNOW !

What cats mean to ME may not be what cats mean to YOU.
Dream books, tarot books – ANY books are subject to change as times change and people change.
Note: SCIENCE !
Flat earth theory ?
FALSE.

THINK.
Who wrote the first book ?
Someone in the field.
How did they learn?
They learned by – yes – knowledge, but also by PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

Mars power into the Grand Water Trine is an EXCELLENT opportunity to climb out of your usual DIVINATORY BOX and tackle a fresh perspective !
Start writing your OWN Book of Shadows to suit YOU.

You are the expert in Your life, and YOUR EXPERIENCE is unlike ANY OTHER.

SURF’S UP !!
