RIPE

Posted on by

Cover for Great Science Fiction by Scientists – Don Ivan Punchatz

Mars is closing in on Uranus in Aries, expect an influx of new energy with this conjunction:  You have mail ! – bolt out of the blue due near 17th – 22nd.  If you have Mars, Uranus or Pluto prominent – you will likely feel it earlier, rather than later.
Mars rules Aries -> powering desires into forward thrust – the NEED to ACHIEVE is in high gear.  Instincts are in the lead – the race is ON.  

With this conjunction comes the square to Pluto in Capricorn.
Awakening delivers Metamorphosis

Death means change of form.  It is inevitable and it is happening every minute.  You are not the same person you were a minute ago.  A part of you is already dead and a part is being born. 
-Sri Swami Satchidananda

Change-ups imminent: work, men, desired goals, action plans, self-discipline, independence, brainstorms, revolutionary solutions and innovations, to name a few.

Be cautious with machinery, blades, words (conjunction sextiles expansive Jupiter in Mercury- ruled Gemini) impulses and crazy risks.

Calculated risks ok.  
Going off half-cocked, NO.

Early Cardinals (7-11 degrees) will be feeling this one !
Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn.
Houses Gemini and Aquarius are where the opportunities are RIPE.
Aries and Capricorn (and Cancer) go head to head – grinding the gears – forcing change on the internal landscape.
Libra, someone is on your doorstep forcing change via peace talks.

Pluto is the higher octave of Mars – personal desire for metamorphosis PRIMO

Quickie read for insight re: Mars conjunct Uranus, results bringing highest outcome for all.

25 Discontinuous Proportion (Mars conjunct Uranus)
Patterns and webs that connect us to one another may be hidden at this time.  Subtle energies are at play that indicate that something small may actually be the key to the entire puzzle.  Consider Uranus is the energetic connection between all life, Mars the drive that propels us forward into our evolution.  The lesson will come from the blind side.  Uranus indicates unpredictable radical shifts – a lightning bolt from the blue.

Heaven meets earth – ether meets matter.
Personal Will meets Intuitive Invention.

27 The Golden Proportion (Spirit card, or crux)
Underlying harmony in the situation, relating to all things in a consistent manner.  Hypercontinuous proportion of the natural world.  Find the harmony within yourself and it will radiate outward to all life.  Start small and become greater; heal yourself first, then assist others. Order in chaos.

Asleep at the Wheel

Roadblocks.
Detours.
Life is always sending them up when we least expect it.
That’s what squares are, what they feel like.

Squares are several lifetimes of bad habits come back to bite.
Cardinal squares are resolved through taking the lead, getting your game ON.
Fixed squares are roadblocks – ingrained, must give up self – will and surrender control.
Mutable squares are detours – energy can switch hit, easier to redeem.

I have fixed squares: Scorp Neptuner square Venus /Jupes in Leo 8
::: Nobody touches my feet, takes my picture, tells me how to divine and/or heal, or what I believe. :::  You get the idea.  I have been delivered some surprising lessons in these houses, lemme tell ya.

Through a series of healing sessions with various friends I have found I have the ability to envelope clients in a pocket of zen.  Relaxation ensues, delta waves take over where I left off, healing begins subconsciously.  Fantastic.

Interestingly enough, I have trouble being hypnotized – unless I feel I am in control.  In these healing sessions my self-will is in The Zone.  I feel I AM ONE with the cosmos – using The Force in order to initiate balanced energy flow in another.  

When I am healing, I feel energized afterwards.
When I am sending meditation vibes, I can barely keep my eyes open after the session.

In essence I am doing light self-hypnosis, (Neptune Rules) and reaching primo zen states.
Energy goes both ways  ::: the healer is also healed.

This has been far more enlightening than any meditation  – up to this point.
I have Mars by the backdoor – I have to be actively doing something in order for Mars to relax into Neptune.

Interesting, huh ?
Seeing is believing
The lesson is not always found where you are looking
Be open to detours, be like water

peace out

Compass

Posted on by

Morning all
After I responded to a comment from Cyn this morning, I looked further into the card in yesterday’s read and I had my answer. 

HUNT
Jupiter and Sag rule hunters / hunting; note: bow.  Jupes is the traditional ruler of 12th.  Mars is the weapon, Jupiter/ Sagittarius are SEEING

“Advice from an old tracker. You wanna find someone, use your eyes.”
– Malcom Reynolds

Hunting requires stealth (Neptune/Pisces) and knowledge of where to look.  Many humans have sadly have lost the ability to actively hunt.  

By that I mean we have lost our chops – our SEEING skills are lax.  Humans hunt via teevee tater remote, grocery store packaged food, google search (which hashes up a repeat based on what you have searched previously), it goes on and on the ways we have lost critical thinking / SEEING abilities.
People of the world – take the opportunity to write your own life story, to HUNT up your own (spiritual) truth rather than accept what the media or corporate types  desperately dish up – brainwash – hoping we believe. 

::::::::::::::::::::::::

Second card was the answer to this question:
Where do we start when we don’t know how to start, or even where to begin ?

POLE STAR
Indicates new moon energy, universal law, high spiritual knowledge and power.  Our Sun is a star, our closest – it symbolizes the heart, creativity and WILLPOWER.

HOPE

Find what feels good and positive for you, and follow that path.  Create and begin anew, every moment of every day is a chance to do so.
Follow where your heart leads you. 
If it feels good and harm none – go for it ! 
Trust your instincts.
Start small if you have to, wake up and do one good thing.
Repeat. 
If you wake up thinking wtf am I doing ? 
Stop. Quit doing it and HUNT up a new trail, better yet – blaze a NEW ONE.

Your heart is your inner compass, it will steer you true.

moving between worlds

Hello everyone, thanks for your patience while I have been under the weather.
This is a quickie read from The Wild Wood Tarot deck for Mars into Aries.
Intent: clarity, insight for highest good of all.

Tuesday 12th
Mars into Aries
1:26am CST, USA

Moon into Aries
6:17am

Mars rules Aries; is super strong and hot to trot – he begins to power UP the wattage when moving to conjunct Uranus in Aries at 7 degrees.  Uranus squares Pluto at 11 Capricorn, so expect some extra energy coming your way.
 If you have been feeling a bit low energy, this will help kick start the power.

Also note the square between super powers Uranus and Pluto are calling for change.  Use this to your advantage – clear energies and projects that have been stalled, brainstorm and be innovative !  This will likely bring surprising news your way…more on that later.

Energies strong in houses Aries and Capricorn – though all Cardinal signs will be feeling an upthrust of energies.
::::::::::::::::::::::

Page of Vessels = Mars (pioneer)

Otter moves easily between water or emotive worlds; and the world of land, material achievement and progress.  This card refers to fair play, service, loyalty and devotion.
Mars having spent time with seven planets in Pisces and followed by Moon brings with him the emotional knowledge and understanding of the cosmos.

King of Arrows = Uranus (awakener)

Kingfisher moves easily between water or emotive worlds; and the world of air, communication and thought.  This card indicates a mindfulness of thought, intelligence born of cosmic intuition.   Emotional strength meets ideas, flying free.  Humanitarian ideals born of the heartbeat of the collective, power an internal compass set to progress and evolve. Strategize how to best move forward: heart and head acting together.

Nine of Bows = Pluto (metamorphosis)

Respect for the heart of the sacred quest we all make.  The path is full of dangers – have respect for the process of life, death, and re-birth.  The seeker must be alert, and humble before the powers of the great spirit – learning is born of experience on the sacred journey.  Be better rather than bitter, self-discipline in the face of desires strengthens the spirit.

The only constant is change, bend rather than break.

thought seeds

Fearlessly hopeful or foolishly fearless ?
Thought seeds.

HOPE.
FEAR.

CHOOSE.

I have so such on my mind this past week, symptomatic of Saturn (my ruler is Saturn Rx in 3rd thinking, rules hands) and Mercury (my MC planet, highball) in retrograde.

We are ALL feeling it:
Rewind, review, rework, re-invent, re-structure, reintegrate communication 

Restriction on Mercurial communication is part and parcel of natal Merc Rx; Saturn in Gemini, Virgo, 3rd or 6th; or Virgo, Gem on 10th: Mercury in 10 or Capricorn.

Only when Merc goes haywire does the world freak – omg WTF happened ?!?!
Communication breakdown…patience is called for.
 Oh how well do I know this.

Thought Funnel.

This very moment in and of itself makes me think of Stephen Hawking.

Stephen has a grand earth trine – Sun and Mercury Capricorn; Moon conjunct Neptune in Virgo; Saturn conjunct Uranus in Taurus.  Conjunctions are POWER OPERATING.

Stephen also has a T-Square with Mars is the focal planet in late degree Aries (leading pioneer in forward thrust); Mercury in the later degrees of Capricorn (achievement) opposing Pluto in Leo (metamorphic  expression).

He is fueled by so much to achieve and a “how – to – say” particularism that is message to Earth channelled by fire rushing into late restricted Earth.  God/goddess bless, I tear up, because in a small way, I am similar.  I asked for visuals because I tried to understand the words and theories that were beyond me, except in pictures.

I understand visuals so much more so than words: my typing is horrendous, my thoughts are moving beyond my ability to type.

Is this how you feel, what you encounter everyday ?  The ultimate funneling of Mercury restricted..onto the earth plane ?  If so, please allow me to thank you for being so patient while we try to keep up.

Smile.

My world is better for you in it.
Thank you, Sir.
You are a hero of mine, yes indeed.

vive la différence

Aquarius.

This house in your natal is where you feel separations, surprises, changes-UPs (and downs) the bizarre, the future / past time slipstream, and it is where you KNOW things without study – balls to bone.
Here you are electric, bohemian, living on the wild side, wishes are granted / denied, it is where you are jolted AWAKE – it is your lightning strike into the global thought collective – it is also where the collective strikes you.
Aquarius house is your vibe, your aura and your intuition – it is where you change the world and where the world changes you.

Follow Uranus by transit and apply the same.

The groOovy thing about tons of planets in Pisces is the deader than a hammer sleepfests night after night after night after night.

The not so groOvy thing about tons of planets in Pisces is yammering outta bed at silly o’clock trying to gain vertical while tangled in blankets to do the footcramp boogie.

You know what I’m talkin’ about.
heh.heh…dontcha ?!
Talk about a rude awakening !

Neptune rules Pisces rules feet.
Mars rules pain.  Uranus, spasms.

Mars nears Uranus from late Pisces.
Eat your bananas !

nite all & sweet dreams
