Click the link for a quickflash of Uranus ~> freak flags.
Again, from the archives (Pluto is linked in the post below).
Uranus is square Pluto from South Node (opposite North Node) while Pluto squares all three. (Uranus and both nodes.)
Squares aka inner friction, obstacles and tension between two energies that can be more powerful than a trine if solved because you have to work so hard to fix it !

This has been on my mind the last couple of days…

Ride out to meet them is one answer, but another ?
How does one break into the heart of those who only see one way, are so close-minded they want to block a young girl from school or kill cartoonists ?
Otter: Find some source of joy and capitalize on it. Everyone has at least one thing they love, enjoy or escape to in times of pain. Friendship for hate, play for anger and protection where there is fear.
Raven: Ahhh…the Trickster, the Mercurial messenger that sees many sides and uses them to their fullest potential. Corvids use tools, totem here, they are very intelligent and fly between worlds delivering messages.
Hugin and Munin (Thought and Memory/Mind) were the ravens that whispered into the ear of the Norse God Odin while he hung upside down from Yggdrasil, (The World Tree) for nine days and nights in order to gain shamanic insight.
Raven communicates deftly across cultures and space-time. Those with Mercury highly aspected exhibit the same qualities. Raven scavenges remains for sustenance, everything is noticed, used.
Touch and Taste: Physical connection, contact and also creation. Hands (Mercury rules hands and sensations) are capable of transferring huge amounts of energy from all chakra points via Reiki, massage – hands create craft, sculpt, sign and play music.
Touch is the least deceptive of all the senses as it is grounded in material earth. Babies sense everything as they learn their surroundings, crawling and tasting and touching everything. Raven here delivers sense of smell and taste or in my mind, Smiles.
This is the universally understood gesture across cultures and creatures.
From my copy of Nat’l Geo December 1994: Animals at Play. (see comments)
I have saved it all these years for this article alone.
Virgo rules small animals, Neptune, big ones.

Investigations on Pluto in Capricorn square North and South Nodes of Destiny aka Future/Past and the metamorphosis inherent within making choices heading into Mercury Rx.
What do we need to know that will lead us to our conclusion ?
(Note: South Node is conjunct Uranus)
Peeler: Suit of Analysis
Kindness and sympathies aroused while deception takes place. (Lady Hilda has used fainting as a ploy to steal documents on the sly !) This card points to a champion willing to bend rather than break in order to reach a harmonious outcome.
Bending the (Capricorn) rules to suit the sitch. Analysis re: a merger or union. Guile and cunning permeate the Plutonic situation, no surprise if you understand the workings of sleuth, stealth and metamorphosis.
Be on the alert for illusion, deception and treachery. Be choosy in what is revealed, also what is believed.
Message from Spirit Card
Inspector: Suit of Deduction
A steadfast guardian of tradition. Patience and responsibility born of wisdom and experience. A serious nature, a good advisor who values conservation and old school methods.
Handling land, finances, relationships and/or business with a calm, steady, firm hand. A mentor, teacher or guide of loyalty and dedication.
Stability, zen and safety understood by those of the same nature. (Inspector Gregson of Scotland Yard who has an affinity for Sherlock.)

Quick buzz for Mercury Rx in Aquarius, leading us to highest understanding and growth on our individual life paths. Mercury into Aquarius Jan 4, (in shadow 6th) retrograde at 17 degrees on the 21, direct on Feb 11 at 1 degree (out of shadow March 4)
Mercury travels retrograde through air signs this year.
1 Aquarius: Recharge fixed goals via polarity probe
2 Gemini: Rethink adapt/adopt new mental processes
Mercury Rx: March at 13 degrees Gemini D at 4 degrees
3 Libra: Revise balance, relationship equality
Mercury Rx September at 15 Libra D at 0 degrees Libra
Lady of Swords reps Merc Rx, I pulled another to see what she was looking at in the past, which is Queen of Vessels. This lady speaks/thinks with beauty and elegance – she is the silence and mystery of the High Priestess given voice. She enlightens with cutting edge intellect in tandem with love and charm.
Artistic sensitivities focused into words, poetry, voice and inspirations are evident by this card combo. Mercury stations retrograde while sandwiched between Aquarius Moon and Venus right after the 0 degree New Moon (conjunct Sun) in Aquarius. Stations are filled with energy buzzing/shifting – separation from one thing and magnetic attraction to another is very likely during this time.
Mercury is exalted in Aquarius granting prime functioning and optimization of thinking and communication. This transit will be intensive for seeing two sides of everything, see your natal Aquarius house for your specific focus.
Revise, revision, rework, re-imagine most of all – REINVENT.
Laying new neural nets is a given.
Standard Merc Rx info: great time to edit, internal process/sort – not so great for communications by the direct route. Save all your info, machinery can go wonky esp. computers, phones, etc.. Messages from other dimensions (influence of Uranus) your past, pets (Mercury), totems and synchronicities are more likely while Mercury goes reboot in Aquarius.
Note this – you may also get the urge to pick up an old chestnut for re-examination, particularly prior to New Moon.
Think Twice.
New Moon brings new liberating energies, use them in your favor !
The Queen of Vessels represents what Mercury Rx investigates, she is emotional water coupled with logical air. Her sealed vessel bears a question mark, contains a mystery which can only be revealed by living this transit of Mercury. KNOWING cracks with lightning/storm – ozone buzz. It defies logic, it is beyond emotional feeling and earthly manifestation of proof – it just is what it is.
No need to know how you know – know anyway.
Queen reminds us that there is a destined time and place to ground unseen energies.
Shaman square Wizard that is Uranus square Pluto.
A wizard arrives precisely when he means to.

Beautiful image, yes ?
Perfect aerodynamics, concentration and what a fantastic angle for the black mask. Click the link above for much more photography for Neptunian folks.
Animal intuitive spoke to me tonight to usher in transiting Mercury (pets, small animals) nearly on Venus in Aquarius (birds, flight). First thing – a flock of birds surrounds me.
Not entirely surprising as I am a Sun conjunct Uranus (rules Aquarius) girl. I like birds, just posted a cool porcelain artist over on my tumblr an hour or so before the call.
Cardinals were the most vocal messengers of all the flock.
Cardinal totem: They don’t migrate, 12 month season, tap it anytime. Red. (more below) They whistle, sing – listen. A mated pair shares song phrases, but the female may sing a longer and slightly more complex song than the male – working together. In spring and summer, both males and females are fiercely territorial and will aggressively protect what is theirs. More here.
Fixed signs: Taurus (2nd), Leo (5th), Scorpio (8th), Aquarius (11th)
These houses/signs are fixed aka steadfast, but tough aspects to/from means inner conflict ingrained…deeply ingrained. One might say aggressively protective.
More here.
These birds are named for the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, with their bright red robes. I did not know that, odd/funny though that my Virgo Sun/Uranus/Pluto lives in 9th house of religion. I’m not catholic, but very happy with the new Pope, Francis (named after Saint Francis Assisi patron of animals, including birds, and ecology) going all environmentally active.
Would you find it interesting that when my reading began I was also holding a Chagall card (Night of Venice) that a friend sent me ? Messages. Zinging !
More incoming ~> Earlier today I posted (here) a crop circle card for healing. It did not come with a book, just instructions to meditate, infuse H20 with the frequency of the card…not much beyond the link I provided in that post (under the card).
Perhaps you saw it…mulled it over…? Wondered what it meant ?
I did.
I of course, being naturally curious with plenty of Uranus (and Leo !) energy…was not satisfied, I wanted more. I went looking…good thing I am a crack detective – it was worth it, so I share it here with you.
This crop circle I posted earlier today is (well obviously) a Solar system glyph, from Longwood Warren, Hampshire, 22 June 1995. It depicts the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the Earth’s, Mars, and Jupiter’s orbit. (The super cool more precise bit…?)
According to Gerald Hawkins, it shows a planetary alignment that occurred on 6 November 1903, the day the Wright brothers proved that man could fly, and again on 11 July 1971, during Mariner 9’s journey to Mars. More here.
Incidentally, Mars rules Red. What is red ? See Color and Chakras.
[Edit: 11.6.1903: Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Virgo, Jupiter in Pisces
7.11.1971: Mercury in Leo, Venus in Cancer, Jupiter in Scorpio ]
My reader was telling me via a flock of cardinals that I need to f l y. I was also flat out told I have (figuratively) one foot nailed to the floor. Ha Exactly one to be precise.
Fixed Neptune (feet) squares from Scorpio 11th to Leo 8th & an opposition to Moon in Taurus. A reluctance to surrender … stubborn… yeah it’s an issue. I’m fixing it !
I laughed at how perfectly on pointe, then found this crop circle flight ref just a little too good not to share.
I’ll leave this post with a message straight from cardinal himself.
May we all find our wings and fly free…
peace

Crop Circle Resonance Cards are founded on the sacred geometries and harmonic laws of sound. Frequencies and harmonics inherent in the designs are capable of influencing the human vibratory field down to the sub-atomic level, because DNA is also based on geometric structure.
Crop circles carry electromagnetic fields, Uranus rules. This card has been chosen in the highest interests of healing for all my readers, I chose with positive intent, highest healing to help move us into our future in harmonious alignment.
How the symbol heals You is up to You, only you know.
Again, Uranus: rules knowing.
Much more in GMA archives re: sacred geometry here. Four here.
Doozy of a full Moon is throbbing away behind us with Mercury nearly on Venus in Aquarius and Mars also in Aquarius while the ruler of Aquarius, Uranus is on the Dragon’s Tail, aka: South Node. Uranus also square Pluto after that big emo moon is shedding and re-invigorating – simultaneously.
We now head toward disseminating moon (also a Crazy Ivan style void moon) and that means processing what went down at full. (Or UP ?) Go easy, take your time – Uranus will bring you what you need when you least expect it.
