gave birth to thunder

Posted on by

She gave him a smile and in turn
he crafted a planet out of her.

He piled her fears deep under ground,
and covered them with soil
so dreams, like flowers, would bud.

From her tears he created the oceans,
waves of sorrow and joy.

Her sighs turned into wind,
and her screams,
of passion and anger
gave birth to the thunder.

She was the Earth,
and in turn he perished
and became the moon.

Forever cursed
to orbit around her.

Wheels turn and changes are upon us…
Apologies for being late with this – I was having a bit of a breakdown breakthrough  transit myself.  Two Toro Moons opposite Saturn (my ruler, nearly Rx) with Pluto coming and going.  Tower card showed up a couple of times, fun weekend.
So on to what’s up in a nutshell…

Sun into Pisces is a dream paradise vacation in the la la land of mystics, soothsayers, inspired artists of all kinds, healing, vivid dreamscapes – both waking and sleeping. 
Pisces have such a lovely energy … they are sensitive, compassionate – thinking in terms of inclusiveness and cosmic consciousness. 

Negative people and energies can be toxic to the Pisces psyche.  They are sponges picking up vibrations of whatever is around them; one reason they – more than any other zodiac sign – need to cultivate friendships with hi qi sensitives like themselves.   Spiritual intelligence is strong with Pisces Suns, they are transcenders who are highly intuitive, and sacrifice for the greater good.  [ Low qi Pisces can be delusional, escapist, impractical, prone to addictions, timid and deceptive.]

Saturn Rx brings inner revisions of structures, achievements, goals and responsibilities; in Scorpio, Saturn Rx delivers re-working and transforming the power that drives the building.  Saturn likes it lean and clean – Scorp house is keen to formulate re-birth.

Saturn Rx in Scorp is also an aspect of re-defining relationships – with authority and men, particularly older men, or fathers.  note: Saturn is re-applying to an exact sextile with Pluto in Cap – mutual reception with metamorphic Pluto – take the opportunity presented – transformation and metamorphosis is imminent and supremely supported  re: the above – count on it.

Mercury Rx in Pisces is primo for subconscious revisions of how we flow through our lives and perceive and relate with the cosmic ALL ONE.  Mercury is thinking, messages, communication, perceptions and self-expression of all kinds.  Mercury Rx in Pisces spins a fantastic tale of the ultimate spiritual quest in the final frontier – our minds.
Oy – in tandem with Saturn Rx in Scorp the house of the unseen mysteries – honey we are going deep sea diving in the SUBsubconscious … this oughta be good.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Full Moon in Virgo has our feelings in opposition to a googob of Pisces: Neptune, Sun, Chiron, Mars and Mercury Rx (re-applying conjunction to them all).  In addition, Moon at 7 is opposite Sun at 7 – both in square to Jupiter in Gemini at 7 degrees.

::: any planet near 7 degrees (+/- 5 degrees) you will be feeling this Moon ! :::

That makes ginormous thinking / chattering Gemini Jupiter the focal point of the superhighway Lunar information glut.   haha lucky Jupiter makes me visualize cloverleafs on the freeway…

What do I mean by that ?

Full Moon saturation illuminates Mercury-ruled Virgo house – information and messages are most certainly incoming to all Virgos – and Virgo sorts by nature.  Pisces Sun absorbs and Gemini is the revolving door of factoids.

Mercury Rx on the 23rd, Full Moon on the 25th means the brainpan is shifting and popping – times near stations are often bumpy.  Keep in mind – Mercury is dualities, rules Gemini and Virgo.

Note: Uranus (polarities) is quincunx Moon just prior to Full, so expect a weird emotional message to pop in re: actions, men or powershifts that will change your thinking and emotions revolving around some long-standing structures.

Also note:  Pisces 19 degree Mercury Rx re-applying to 18 degree Mars puts them in trine to 19 degrees North Node of Destiny in Scorpio as Saturn Rx retreats from a conjunction to NNode.  Authority, an older figure or crumbling structure of some kind retreats to lick its wounds via a re-applying trine to Chiron, Sun and Neptune in Pisces.
 It is meant to be…go re-read Saturn Rx if it freaks you out.

Adaptation, improvisation.

We will feel Full Moon emotional tug of war / peace talks in these areas:
what we think / how we perceive
how we act upon it / how others react to us
are we healing / inspiring to ourselves and others
what does our spirit desire / what is our life work – are they compatible

A huge meteorite flared through the skies over Russia’s Chelyabinsk region early Friday, triggering a powerful shock wave that injured nearly a thousand people, blew out windows and reportedly caused the roof of a factory to collapse. (here)


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

Freaky fascinating stuff, yah ?!  
I have been to Barringer Crater, and wrote about it : earth crater divination.
 I like to have fun with it – – the Neptooney. heh

Russia is ruled by Aquarius and Uranus
Sky / atmo is Neptune
Falling rocks is obviously Saturn.

Oddball surprises via Uranus square Pluto – – in Capricorn which rules Earth !
check.
Uranian SONIC BOOM !
check.

Mars (fireball) is nearly exact trine to Saturn (applying one degree) from the sign of Pisces, the atmosphere.  All the Pisces energy [Neptune, Chiron, Mars, Mercury] squares Jupiter in Gemini – dualities and a lot of thinking & talking about space.

This shower is the precursor to the pass by — asteroid 2012 DA14.

Via NASA:
“Asteroid 2012 DA14 will NOT impact Earth, but if another asteroid of a size similar to that of 2012 DA14 (about 150 feet across) were to impact Earth, it would release approximately 2.5 megatons of energy in the atmosphere and would be expected to cause regional devastation,” NASA said in a statement on its website.

self-service moon

Posted on by

Moon exalted in Taurus. 

Usually a sensitive zen vibe, low key couch spud, carb loading, Moon – this Toro moon moves closer into opposition with Saturn as the day moves on. 

This vibe is a straight no chaser shot of dissatisfaction with how things are as opposed to how you feel they should be.  Feelings vs. what is of Use

Take it as a sign to work out the kinks with others in houses Taurus / Scorp.  Your primo self-growth lies in houses Leo and Aquarius.  Opportunities for emotional growth in Cancer and Pisces; work growth in Virgo and Capricorn.

This is the self- service Moon. 
How true that is for some single folks like me.  haha Take that however you like. Made it through the holidays WoOo HoOo first all the freaky yule frenzy, now hearts and kisses day is ovah –  Yippie !  Rollin’ downhill now . . .

Sun is in the last degrees of Aquarius moving to square (out of sign) Jupiter in Gemini,  ideas are crunching ::: between what we think and what we know ::: inner friction and turmoil that backs up the Moon Saturn opposition. 

House Pisces is strong [Neptune, Chiron, Mars, Mercury] at the moment – –  in the ring wrestling Mega Jupes in Gem via square.   Dreamy perceptions and high inspiration  forces change in these houses, inner metamorphosis.  Beliefs vs. Think

Saved the best for last – Moon is also moving to trine Pluto in Capricorn, which helps support mega metamorphic emotional growth today.  Saturn in mutual reception with Pluto does same. 
Work through your feelings – literally.

Adaptation, improvisation.

Purification

Posted on by

Vishudda
Throat Chakra
Base of the neck

This chakra is associated with the thyroid gland and endocrine system
Communication, synthesis of ideas into symbolic language

Color: bright blue
Planets: Neptune, Mercury, Jupiter
Stone: Fluorite (my choice is light blue, here)

Keywords: purification, depth, peace through expression : which means speaking and listening – the balanced exchange of both

Blockages: Sore throats, indecision, writer’s block, stifled creativity

Cultivate: balanced passive and aggressive forces in self [yin/yang]

build bridges to cultivate trust
nurture self first – then others.
Practice meditation with Mudras to enhance balance.

To find your voice, sing. 
If you can’t sing, then HUM. 
Learn to speak your feelings. 
If you can’t speak them easily at first, write them.  Then say a blessing and burn them to release the energy.

This is a chakra of breath work and meditation.
Focus on positive healing on each intake of breath – – release of toxins and negativity on outgoing breath.Speak from your heart, speak YOUR truth. 
Create your reality through the power of your words. 

Do affirmations, whatever you feel comfortable with, just think them AND speak them aloud.

Speak while alone in the car, wherever.
Speak affirmations to yourself in a mirror.
Note positive changes you feel after mirror affirmations every day.
Release your words in the shower, it will be easier because Neptune is water – so the steam and vapor will help loosen the vocal chords.

Queen of the Swamp

Posted on by

Frank Frazetta

Queen of the Swamp is the moniker I jokingly gave myself when I learned astrology.
Leo / Sun and Jupiter are considered royalty markers.
I have Leo Venus conjunct Jupiter conjunct Part of Fortune in the 8th house.

Since Venus/Jupes squares Neptuner from this house, the TWU WUV vibes get murky – there are dark freaky things in the natural Scorpio house.  I have often pondered the nuances of how dark Sun in a cave (8th) differs from dark Sun under the sea (12th).

::::::::::::::::::::
…A couple of nights ago I rented a Vamp flick from my library – I didn’t last 15 minutes.  Ignorant people walking in to hopeless monsterific situations WITHOUT A WEAPON.
I was instantly irritated.

One thing about dark Sun is I have this HERO thing.  
I have been years figuring this one out.  I used to think I had some weird default setting of FAME FASCINATION.  Then astrology showed me what I AM truly Worshipping.

My Sun is in Virgo (sorting / higher thinking) 9th (religion/worship) conjunct Uranus/Pluto – and I have been studying heroes all my life.  Since I can remember, I have been attracted to heroes because I have been trying to emulate them.

I wanted to SEE how power was USED by the pros in order learn how to better manipulate my own powerful metamorphic Plutonic Sun / 8th house energies.

Now rather than controlling everyone and thing –
I USE my POWER to help, heal, teach and enlighten.
By doing so I have :: with help from friends :: created a light in dark places where all other lights go out.

fall or exalted : it is the HEROIC spirit and I love it and YOU
you know you are…

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

– William Blake (fragment from Auguries of Innocence)
:::::::::::::::::::::::::

Dandelions
aka: Blow-ball, Cankerwort, Lion’s Tooth, Priest’s Crown, Wild Endive.
Venus and Jupiter rule Dandies.

Astrological
Primary: Pisces, Sagittarius
Secondary: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra

Medical *
 Diuretic, tonic.

Dandelion in the diet aids anemia and helps stabilize the blood sugar.  A warm water infusion is a good tonic for the liver and gallbladder.  Dandelion wine will knock you on yer ass, because the diuretic quality drives the fluids out of your body so the alcohol hits you faster.

The milky sap from the stem of the dandelion can be used to cure warts, rub it directly on the wart daily until the wart disappears.  The sap can also be used in the same way to treat (fade) liver spots.

Dandelion leaves and roots produce mannitol, which is used to treat hypertension.  The leaves / roots must be collected in spring (about mid-March to mid-May) and used to make tea.  Bring water to a boil, toss in cut roots for one minute, remove from heat, add leaves and steep for 40 minutes.  Strain and drink.

Dandelion flowers contain helenin, vitamins A and B-2 (riboflavin), which can help improve night blindness.  Steep freshly picked flowers in a pint of hot water for 20 minutes, strain and drink.

:::::::::::::::::::::
Dandelions also have other fun uses…

Fortune telling:
To know how much your lover cares for you, blow the seeds off the head – if they all blow into the wind you are well loved, if any remain – your lover has doubts.

Wishing seeds:
Blow the seeds into the wind – the breath of life will deliver messages to your loved one.

Clocks:
Dandelions always open about 5am, and shut at 8pm, serving as a clock for the shepard.

Barometers:
Clocks open and fluffy means fine weather, when they close tightly, rain is due.
