The victorious mist, against the pale depth of air,
Has diluted even the accustomed towers,
Whose grey thoughts are now gone forever,
Like some vague dream, or a geometry of vapour.

This is fantastic science ! Uranus rules both science and pattern design.
Mollusks are underwater muscle animals, or Mars (muscles) in Neptune (seas).
Video by marine biologist Roger Hanlon, senior scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. He studies camouflage in cephalopods: squid, cuttlefish and octopus. They are masters of optical illusion. Mercury is sight; Uranus second sight.
::::::::::::
Camouflage is Neptune ruled and we have 5 planets and Chiron in Pisces, including Mars which is defense.
When cephalopods are startled, ink is deployed – their decoy tactic to escape – decoy is also Neptunian. When operating high qi – 12th or Pisces Mars is a Jedi Mars, only defense – not attack.
I love the thoughts this conjures – yes conjures – for Neptune is High Magick.
Pisces are feeler-sponges reading the environs subconsciously 24/8. Squid do not sleep (maybe they are in permanent Alpha or relaxed focus state) which is why they have developed this supersense psychometric (? sci doesn’t know) ability. They are color blind – sight, perception (Mercury rules)touch (Venus rules) have evolved into higher octaves; Uranus and Neptune, respectively. Their ability to blend, morph and warp-distort pattern design (Uranus) is brilliant.
The same is true of those with strong Neptune/Pisces energies – be aware of what you touch. When shields are down, you innately soak up the vibrations of the surrounds in order to camouflage yourself. Flex those psychic muscles, build your shields UP, boundary set. Only carry your own energy, do not let barnacles encrust on you.
Cephalopods, which first appeared 500 million years ago in the Upper Cambrian Period, are also fascinating because they have three hearts (Sun rules the heart) that pump blue blood, they’re jet powered, and they’re found in all oceans of the world, from the tropics to the poles, the intertidal to the abyss.
Pic above is Paul the Octopus (hatched in 2008, died October 2010) who successfully divined the outcome of 11 out of 13 football matches – read about him here. Neptune rules divination. Cephalopods are very intelligent, with well developed senses and complex nervous systems. In humans, Gemini/Mercury/3rd house rules the nervous system – Uranus is the higher octave of the nervous system, the aura.
Cephalopods also sense by statocyststhat act like internal gyroscopes so they cansense gravity – if they go upside down their bellies are unprotected leaving them extremely vulnerable. They need to re-orient themselves much like people with strong Neptune and Pisces energies.
If you have lost your center, get your bearings – remember what personal abilities and attributesground you in happiness and light. Keep your ability, your talents in the center of your mind, in your heart and on your tongue.
Define personal parameters, boundary set, identify and delineate goals, set yourself to work.Only carry your own energy, do not let barnacles encrust on you – nor should you encrust on others.
Dream it – then be it – through grounding yourself. Focus on working your ability -learn it, hone it until your talent has produced tangible results. Start small and get larger if need be. Water dreams need earth to manifest on the physical plane – ground.
The schizophrenic is drowning in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight. Edgar Cayce made the same observation in his readings. ::: Joseph Campbell :::
Some cephalopods bioluminesce, shining light downwards to disguise their shadows from any predators that may lurk below. Bioluminesce means light released by the energy of a chemical reaction. Neptune rules chemicals, Sun rules light. Neptune is the light bearer for the spiritual sun, how apt cephalopods have 3 hearts (Sun rules) and chemically bioluminesce. Tolkiens elvish (Neptunian) phrase May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out takes on a new meaning here, yes ?
Heads UP 12th house Suns engage your spiritual bioluminescence.
To know light – one must also know dark. Suffering leads to transcendence through struggle and spiritualgrowth.
Seek the lesson that dwells in the pit of your pain. The underbelly. What is secretly locked inside festers – look at it, – LOOK RIGHT AT IT- realize it does not define you, or your spirit. Only YOU defineYOU. Transmute your pain into personal power. Your pain, your past,only has power over you if you let it. Be rid of it, once and for all. Forgiveness and compassion are your greatest gifts. Be gentle and kind with yourself.
And then black night. That blackness was sublime. I felt distributed through space and time: One foot upon a mountaintop, one hand Under the pebbles of a panting strand, One ear in Italy, one eye in Spain, In caves, my blood, and in the stars, my brain. There were dull throbs in my Triassic; green Optical spots in Upper Pleistocene, An icy shiver down my Age of Stone, And all tomorrows in my funnybone.

Gotta admit, I am looking forward to this grounded Cappy moon. Dark Sagittarius Moon shooting off emo ideas into the cosmos with Mega Jupes (expands) in Gemini (think) holding down squares (pressure) to a go gob of daydreamy Pisces feelers.? oy.
Bodies are floating in space with this – funk think, plunk in the drink astro – I have been virtually incapable of 5 consecutive minutes of coherent thought – every other minute or so I am floating off into the space-time slipstream. (Sag is my 12th)
I can feel the pressure between ::: past, optimism, future ::: snap ! then healing ensues. This IS a good thing, productive on the material plane – yes (purging like a feng shui fiend) – but the real progress is hidden in the psyche. :::::::::::::::::::::::
Saturn has been sextile Pluto for quite some time, but now Saturn Rx means the sextile will be closing in and getting stronger. High qi healing is off the scale at the mo.
Saturn Rx in Scorpio in mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn means they are forming a bond of circular opportunity– the energies support and understand one another. Scorpio/Capricorn houses will operate opportunities in these ways:
release and rebuild concentration of transmutation achievement through rebirth desire transforms structure formulating efficiency *
Mercury Rx is closing in on Chiron, Venus and Neptune in Pisces. Thought analyzation and improvements in love matters incoming. Re-think, re-vise, re-invent, reboot in progress with the octaves of love and healing. The healer loves; love heals; the healer is also healed.
Mercury Rx is also closing in on a trine to Saturn Rx in Scorp – water to water – psychic intuition, psyche and emotional perceptions are getting a tune UP, feeling a shift.
Saturn Rx and Mercury Rx both close the sextile to Pluto in Capricorn – deep six internal subSUBconscious diving – metamorphosis of lifelong structures; mental and emotional components that break us, will eventually MAKE US. Through struggle we grow. Re-read this* and apply to thought patterns / love scenarios / healing opportunities.
note: as Moon closes in on Pluto in Cap – the emotional wattage of this tune UP will be more keenly felt.
This is felt on a soul deep level… might wanna let it stew and simmer with Merc Rx and emo water works off the scale – revelations of Merc Rx can go both ways. Put brain into gear before engaging mouth.
Jupiter in Gemini forces optimism and faith into the intuitive watersof Pisces…our feelers are twitching and picking up all sorts of vibes at the moment. Trust the process, and go with the flow– Pisces will reveal how deep the healing goes later, after the fog clears.
Transformation via the practical, magickal is underway as Mercury Rx works both sides of the Chiron room – wounded and healer. Long-standing issues are being cleared, resolved – – metamorphosis is underway.
Waning Moon into Scorpio moves to conjunct Saturn Rx, North Node; bringing desires, deep sea soul – emo mining into penetratingly high inward focus. North Node in Scorp is partnership bonds and the future of them, consider where you are headed – alter emotional course if need be.
Scorpio Moon will trine everything Pisces in turn one after another: Neptune, Venus, Chiron, Sun, Mercury Rx, Mars. Water to water – so expect deep regenerative emotional states, intuitions, powerful day/night dreams into high gear. Circles are coming back around.
Healing is hi qi use of this energy; emo power control issues is obviously, low.
Heightened emotional perceptions while Venus closes the square to Jupiter in Gemini. Emo wranglings are on our minds, begging to roll off the tongue – how freely do you want (Venus sextile Toro) to share the depths is the question. Jupiter in Gemini wants conversational largess, always – though Pisces is subtle, Scorpio sneaky.
Be creative.
Leo and Aquarius overcome emotional obstacles; Virgo and Capricorn have emotional opportunities; Toro goes head to head in emo peace talks.

Cate is phenomenal, just adore her work . . . and she bronzed her elvish ears.
I am soOo on board with that !
Cate is a Taurus packing 5 retrograde planets: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto; indicating introverted planetary expression in the younger years while finding the personal compass. Retrograde energies prospect their internal ground – fine tune, hone their craft well into later years, when they blossom outwardly, radiantly.
Cate’s Aries Venus is trine Mars in Sagittarius – Love of passionate FIRE – the urge to explore and express the ethical dilemmas born of the human instinct. Mercury in Gemini (ruling; strong – also rules Virgo) opposes Sag Mars – gathering the info is only pulling back the bowstring for Cate – the possibilities are endless, but she brings the delicate minutiae to each role (Mars square Pluto in Virgo) fleshing out each character believably.
Toro Sun finds the worth of artistic expression through opposition with Neptune in Scorpio. Neptune opposite Sun can mean a suffering, battered ego made stronger – a path of transcendence – soul and spirit wants and needs to both experience and express the depths; wrangling, funneling Mercurial communication through the Virgoan combine of self-improvement is part and parcel of healing others through common expression.
Cate has Uranus 0 degrees in (Venus-ruled) Libra – a boho planet on a springboard Cardinal degree – signifying a sweetly compelling yet surprisingly uppercutting rebel artistic streak.
Explanation and exploration (Mars square Ura/Jup/Plu) of human frailty reveals itself through an artistic earthbound lesson – the shades and shifts of human ethics.Cate’s artwork is passionate, courageous, surprisingly bold yet brilliantly understated.
The Lady of Light, The Lady of the Wood.
The Lady of Light bears the ring, Nenya, also known as the Ring of Adamant, the Ring of Water, which was made in the Second Age, along with the other two Elven Rings,Naryaand Vilya. Nenya is not normally visible; Frodo can see it by virtue of being a Ring-bearer, Sam tells Galadriel he only “saw a star through your fingers.”
Nenya’s power waspreservation, protection, and concealment from evil.
Neptune much ? Water. Concealment. Preservation of life, nature. High qi magick, spirituality.
Such is the longing of Pisces . . .gazing anywhere anyplace and anywhen . . . feeling the oceans of life, adrift and ever feeling.
Rescue, healing.
Confinement. Buddhist non-attachment or barnacles encrusted. ?
To wear a ring of power is to be alone.
I have them (Venus Neptuner) squared, in my natal.
The present energy – conjunct is sweet – gifty. (rather than grifty)
The balance is so delicate – always – it requires / re-wires finesse. Experience is the best teacher.
Merc Rx + Sat Rx
I am drinking it in, feeling, learning, adapting. May the octaves of love wash waves of cosmic knowledge over you when you need a light in dark places….
Woke up this am in a tizzy – busy and running late, upset about the state of our mother earth. Why must humans ruin everything, rip out all the trees and kill everything ?
CO – EXIST Please !
Pisces feels the suffering of all life, there is an undertow that leads to deep waters if we let it.
Venus conjoins Neptune in Pisces – her home waters where she has been longing to return to for 165 years. . .soOo lovely, soOo evocative.
Octaves of Love.
Have we, serenity, serenade, or sirens ?
hmmmmm…..time will tell.
Goo gob of Pisces trines Saturn Rx in Scorp – emotions are rockin’ on the waves, deep sea Subsubconscious diving at the mo. While Saturn works out the kinks in Scorpionic psychological depths.
Sun conjunct Chiron means healing is getting the spotlight.
Moon moves to oppose Uranus and closes the square to Pluto in Capricorn. All kinds of emo stuff is bubbling to the surface in the next few as moon passes through Libra.
Well this has certainly been an interesting Mercury Retrograde kick off …. Work exploded in techno snafus, it’s raining weird co-inky dinks, unexpected convos with peeps I thought were loOong gone…
The usual Merc Rx stuff, still fun though…sit back at watch the fun as everyone brain vomits everywhere. lol
Re-invention gets kicked up a notch when Uranus square Pluto is the rocket fuel !
How AM I USEFUL ::: tackles ::: Everything I DESIRE
Watched so much Cayce stuff last night, he made a point that desire is what drives the bus – it propels the human race forward into our collective destiny – so apt with North Node in Scorpio (desires) tag team Saturn Rx restraint.
Which leads me to WTFauctioning off the Amazon rainforest– excuse me ?!
Greedy corporate fuckers.
Not the nicest intro to Libra Moon – but really enough with the LOVE of MONEY already.
Venus rules both: LOVE and MONEY
What gives others power over you ? Yep. You got it.
LOVE and MONEY
Now for the astro before I head off to my second job.
Love imbued Libra Moon brings surprises as she comes to oppose Uranus in Aries, surprises are headed your way as Venus and Mars go head to head with emotions in tow.
Mercury Rx re-applying trine to Saturn Rx in Scorpio – working out the kinks re: work, men, authority and structures surrounding all – think long-term, long-standing taking forever and a day situations. They are getting the classic Mercury Retrograde Re-boot.
Moon quincunx Venus and Neptune Emotions and home sitch struggle / juggle – Love & Creativity octaves – are turning over new cards, getting new info and forcing change.
