God, Line One.

Lightning strikes St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the holiest Catholic churches, hours after Benedict XVI’s shock announcement.

He is the first Pope in 600 years to resign

Jupiter went direct 2 weeks ago bringing changes with it – – > from all the internal thinking done while in Rx in Gemini.

Quickie astro:
House of Pisces (sensitivity, spirituality) is jam packed Moon,Mercury, Mars, Neptune,Chiron in square (internal tension) to Jupiter (organized religion/ Popes) in Gemini (multi-tasking, communicating).

Pisces can indicate suffering, Jupiter is overdoing it – the daily work/ communication grind that is a Pope’s duty is wearing him thin, so he resigns.

This comes as a shock to a millions – that is the Uranus (separation) square Pluto (in Capricorn, or work) bit.

Note: Lightning is Uranus ruled.
God calling ..?… that’s just weird.

Cool Hand Hertz

WoW.
I was just writing of Neptunian exiles, then only today found out about the 52 Hertz whale.

Mammals are Moon ruled.
Whales are Jupiter ruled – though obviously, also Pisces.

The loneliest whale in the world, the 52-Hertz whale, sings a song no other whale will answer and travels the oceans alone. via EarthSky

52 Hertz whale is a loner, with no other filter feeding (or baleen) whales to socialize with.  Baleen whales are often loners, but they can also be found travelling in pods.

A pod is a social group of whales – they protect one another, migrate together and take care of each other’s young.  Typical whale pod groupings / sizes can be found here.

How long has 52 Hertz been alone ?  No one knows.  We just know 52 Hertz survives alone 20 years after his initial discovery.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Here is the 52 Hertz whale song via noaa.gov. (speed increased for listening)
If you want to compare – there is a plethora of whale song here.

Other whale calls are between 15 and 25 Hertz.  So the 52 Hertz whale is a loner, with no other filter feeding (or baleen) whales answering in response – likely because they can’t hear it. 

Most blue whales frequency calls sound like the lowest note on a tuba; the 52 Hertz whale is about 8 notes higher.

Its unique call makes the 52 Hertz whale easy to track –  Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has been tracking the whale since 1992, when they heard it while using an array of sooper sekrit hydrophones used by the (US) Navy to monitor enemy submarines.

Migration is Uranus and Neptune ruled.  How true this is for 52 Hertz.

The migration path of 52 Hertz is also unique (below) – unlike any known filter-feeding (or baleen) whales.  It also does not follow gray whale (common to PNW) migration patterns either, leading many to postulate the 52 Hertz whale is a hybrid.

A list of Cetaceans: Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises here.
::::::::::::::::

More interesting whale song news:

According to John Hildebrand, who studies whale songs at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, as blue whale populations have recovered due to world-wide protection acts, they have changed their songs – they have decreased the pitch of their songs about 30% from the 1960s to today.

John Hildebrand: The hypothesis that we’re putting forward is that the shift downward in frequency is a response to the increasing population of the animals. As the densities go up, the distance to the closest females is shortened, so you don’t have to have a song in high amplitude.


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

One more important thing – I am obviously not leaving until I point you to THE COVE.
Please help stop dolphin slaughter in Japan.
Thank you.

Master of Two Worlds

“The standard path of the mythological adventure of the hero is a magnification of the formula represented in the rites of passage: separation—initiation—return: which might be named the nuclear unit of the monomyth.

A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.”

::: Joseph Campbell :::

Makes sense he is all about heroes – Sun (heroes) is exalted in Aries, in trine to Moon in Leo (Sun rules).  What makes a hero ?  < Now that is a class I would love to take !

Five degrees exalted Aries Sun tightly conjunct Mercury exact conjunct Jupiter at six degrees – obviously brilliant teacher / philosopher. In fact, both Mercury and Jupiter are Cazimi, or within 17 minutes of the Sun. This placement is called being in the Heart of the Sun and bestows a very beneficial influence over the cazimi planets.  ( Combust is greater than 17 minutes; less than 10 degrees, is considered less beneficial as the Sun’s rays overpower the energy of the combust planet.)

This whammy trio is the focal point of a T-Square with 29 degree Uranus (culmination degree) in 3rd house Sagittarius making Joseph a unique, cerebral thinker – a visionary explorer.  Uranus opposes 9th house Neptune in Cancer the planet of myths and mythologies in the sign of storytellers and oral traditions.  Great teaching vibe in the 9th house as well – in square to the 6th; detailed analysis of myths and stories from across the globe.

Sixth house Sun, Mercury, Jupiter all trine Moon in Leo 10 – leadership qualities strong, communication of worldly status of the individual in relation to family dynamics and community.  Sensitivity to family pride, fluctuations within tribal self as well as global self.  Examination of creative expressions of self as they relate to global community (Moon, public in 12).

Sagittarius Uranus trine Aries Mars (strong, it rules – in good aspect as well) conjunct descendant in 7th is a pioneer in personal relationships.  Sextiles Saturn in Aquarius 4th so again, solidification of the USE of personal / family / global relationships as they relate to the individual’s journey through life on earth (Saturn).

Venus is exalted in Pisces from the creative 5th house in trine to Neptune in Cancer in 9th, sensitivity strong, heart for teaching inspiring social dynamics, spiritual intelligence behind the personal quest – the quest to not only survive, but succeed.

Aries types are passionate and Gung HO to GO – courageous, inspired leaders who also want YOU to succeed.
 Joseph definitely excelled in inspiring the global community to explore the fool’s journey, the exile, the quest and the redemption and eventual return of the hero.

God, I do love fire signs – bouncing around life’s pre-game: C’mon – Let’s GO !!
Every single thing is a chance for a fun new adventure !
Reading Joseph Campbell inspired George Lucas to write Star Wars – YaY !

(Interesting to note transiting Uranus is conjunct Joseph’s natal Sun/Merc/Jup conjunction – transits remain relevant to the natal chart even after leaving this world – – fascinating, yes ?)

Exile and the Mirror

From the standpoint of the way of duty, anyone in exile from the community is a nothing. From the other point of view, however, this exile is the first step of the quest.
:: Joseph Campbell ::

Moon is feelings, public, women and mirrors.
Neptune is exile, suffering, transcendence.

They are opposite each other in my natal and both are sensitive by nature.

This opposition means people skewer my feelings constantly.
Neptuner is in 11 by a hairsbreadth, so by people I mean communities, particularly the global ONE.

Fifth house is the heartbeat of the unit, the pride of lions: the passionate creative spawn of self.  Opposite it is the Eleventh house – the heartbeat of the global collective, the pride of earthkind: the intellectual spawn of earthlings collectively.
Same wavelengths:: positive follow-through:: but acting from opposite sides of the wheel.

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

Wheel is turning, and I am coming into some whammy transits.  
Saturn opposes my Moon – that essentially means others are restricting my feelings, my instincts, basically trying to choke my zen Toro Moon serenity right outta me.

Energy goes both ways; is exchanged. 

So this transit of mine also means overbearing, authoritative Saturnian types (Saturn transits my 11th) meet their own limitations by the virtue of my mirror.

Saturnians see in themselves where self-discipline, tact, diplomacy and patience are lacking.

My lunar reflection reveals the lack of sensitivity, lack of concentration, it reveals the power sent to control me – staring right back at them.

Another transit I am riding out is Uranus on natal Saturn Rx (my ruler) while Pluto squares it from the first house of who I AM.

Uranus / Pluto are conjunct Sun in my natal, so this Pluto square triggers my solar stellium, my essence of self to grow, to metamorph, to rebirth.

This is doubly true as transit Pluto is trine my natal Toro Moon which trines natal Pluto/Uranus/Sun in Virgo.  Conscious & Subconsciously I am metamorphing 24/8.
::::::::::::
I am feeling restricted by collective ideas (11th) of both: how I need to carry out my astro/ healing/ intuitive work – and how I need to fit the public ideal of how a *woman should be.  *note: I am eighth house strong, with Uranus/Pluto hooked up to both luminaries- it is my nature to be an unusually powerful catalyst.

While I AM having this extraordinary nuclear-fission-transmutation-REBIRTH from deep within my subconscious, I am somehow expected to simultaneously fit into a molded coffin of the public’s making ?  Yeah, man . . . good luck with that.

Panthera Leo

Lemme explain my sitch for you newbs:

In my natal, the house of Leo (Sun rules) is under duress.
Sun is also under duress- polarizing Uranus/metamorphic Pluto jammed up its nostril.
Sun is sesqui-quadrate my Moon equalling duress.
Sun is quincunx my North Node of Destiny equalling duress.

SUN is the creative spark, self-expression, sheroes and yes, conscious EGO.

When I hear rumblings of who does she think she is or she’s bragging, lying to impress.
You need to know:
I paid for this ‘gift’ – in the last lifeAND in THIS ONE.

I had YEARS of retching all day and all night, I cried myself to sleep begging for relief.
 I was barely able to keep saltines down in between downing bottles of pepto.  I drank so much of it, I had constant tinnitus.  And that’s not the half of it.

I forced myself to function through varying degrees of hell. . .I moved very slow, sitting when I had to simply to keep myself from passing out cold or retching.
This went on for   y   e   a   r   s.

When I lost my health, it cracked me like an egg.
I’m a multi-Virgo.

We are ALL about health.
 The astro..?

Transit Neptune in Aquarius squared my natal 4th house Moon (Moon rules Cancer 4th, Moon rules stomach) while my natal Neptune opposed it.

Freaky mysterious undiagnosable illness are Neptune.

My Moon was getting baptised in the seas of Neptune – suffering and transcendence.
 Neptuner was activating my 8th house; Sun/Uran/Plut stellium in 9 as well.

I suffered – now I RISE – I heal because I CAN.

This is not bragging or ego speaking.
 Only one who has lived in sickness can truly know the desperation of those suffering.

The graceful compassionate spirit energy that flows during a session is all around us.
I do not lay claim on it – I’m just good at getting it moving freely again.
I am finally doing something right, something goodthat I AM also good at doing.

I had years of sickness caused by terrible mistakes; misguided mental meanderings. Now that I have found my skills, or my ‘gifts’ if you prefer. 

Yeah, I’m gonna talk about it.
My soul seeks expression, just like yours.
Sun (soul) is the creative WILL and HOPE – – that is the only ego I AM expressing. . .
ya dig ?

Weird Delta Doubles

HA !
This is one symptom of having a Uranus transit through the 3rd house of thinking.  

Freaky weirdo planet of higher octave communications approaches my practical Saturn Rx ruler which trines Mars in Sagittarius, the sign of long-range thinking and expansion.

Feet are on Earth.  
Brain ?  No. idea.

Blue Agama Lizard

Another thing is my SKIN (Saturn rules) is even MORE SENSITIVE than usual.  It’s like I am having a second go-around with K-5 chickenpox – ridiculous !

I have been on about this before, but whenever ANYTHING ASPECTS SATURN Rx in my chart – my teeth hurt.  Also I am blessed with more frequent headaches (that’s the Saturn Rx in Aries) that are stronger, persistent.

Uranus is making things happen in DOUBLES: weird synchronicites are all over the shop.

I just got my second speeding ticket – in the Same Place I got the first one.  
heh, yeah. Genius maneuver, right there.

I already told you the thing about the tag team healing the other day .
Reports are in – –
I wave the magic wand of Toro Zen –
Tune UP the TUNING FORK – AIM my Sag Mars  (quintile Uranus in 9)
LONG – DISTANCE  – – > my people get ULTRA RELAXED

bliss out and go into deep delta.

Right ON !  My Rogue Reiki :: Polarity Balancing weaves a healing spell – sweeeet.
One friend woke up free of pain for the first time in weeks – another friend, a Sagittarian who is a chronic insomniac finally gets some sleep… and I when I do healings, I feel much better too.
The healer is also healed.
 Keep using it friends, your hands are tuned UP for quite some time, okie ?!
Specifically – the healing in your hands is set to traverse time and space: good anytime, anyplace, anywhen.

Card on the left is Saturn energy ::: card on the right is Jupiter energy
Cards I pulled this am.
Fortunes I have pulled in the last couple of days…they have been laying on my workbench in command central…waiting.
They pinpoint the planetary energies well.

Even Saturn people get tired of Saturn, but we are resigned to it. 
Suck it up, keep moving. 
Saturn restricts, limits, tests – Saturn is karma.
Saturn in the natal is the house where you will WORK and WORK and WORK.
Same holds true of where it transits.

On the upside, (cause every planet and sitch has two sides) Saturn is focus, patience and justice, the reward delivered at the end of the line.
What you give; you get.

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

Jupiter is the planet of fun-loving frolic, luck, long distance travel, optimism and expansion.  It sounds like a good time because IT IS.  On the downside, Jupiter scatters, is extravagant, over-confident and it makes bigger every energy it contacts – good or bad.

Jupiter in the natal and by transit indicates growth, exploration and philosophies garnered through travel of both the body and mind.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Capricorn Moon is conjunct Pluto as I write this (restriction/metamorphosis of feelings), the aspect will pass very soon, pressure will release.  (Apologies, I checked out for a bit – Saturn opposing my natal Moon & Moon transit in Cap kicked me into hermit mode – Saturn is hermits, alone)

Mercury, Mars and Neptune are square Jupiter in Gemini.

Taurus and Capricorn are the places to find your opportunities at the moment – investigate and act on the feelings / actions inspiration to be found in those houses.

Cancers and Scorps are getting ease through the trine to Pisces – thinking, actions and healing inspirations are primo for you – full speed ahead !

Virgosbong – peace talks.  Someone in your face forcing adjustments in thinking, actions, artistic inspirations and boundaries.

Geminis and Sagittarians are facing inner metamorphosis regarding thinking, actions, spiritual / artistic goals, boundaries.
::::::::::::::::::
Now for the reading:
Both cards drawn are 25 seven is a spiritual number, ruled by Uranus – sevens signal rebellion and spiritual growth.  Ironically also polarities and dualities – very appropriate for current astro.

25 Forneus
Element Earth; Planet Moon
this read is amazingly accurate, yes ?  love it when that happens
Rhetoric, fluency and speaking in tongues – this gift coupled with honesty will serve you well in all dealings with others.  You will be respected by all, including your enemies.

This angel’s totem is a sea monster, indicating deep subconscious healing and mystical inspiration.  Know the trickster – see the dualities – be aware of both sides of yourself and others.  Light and shadow side, intelligence and justice – the sword of truth is double-edged.  Interesting also that Saturn and Pluto are in mutual reception – or in each other’s signs, a form of sharing and dualities…

This card points to honesty with others and also being honest with yourself.
::: Apply this card to your house of natal Saturn as well as house Scorpio :::

25 Metamorphosis
Pain, transformation and letting go – (Plutonic) energy of death and rebirth.
Powerful force, intense struggle which results in profound change.  The thing about metamorphosis – you are virtually unrecognizable to your former self.  This power destroys, uncovers ALL – metamorphoses – to make ALL shiny and new.

This is not an invitation to USE the energies you are forced to change – like it or not.
(yes, USE is a Pluto in Capricorn reference)

When applied to Jupiter energies, which was what I asked the cards… It points to the recent Jupiter retrograde – thinking and philosophies about it turned inward in dual Gemini.

Metamorphosis card speaks of the polarities of shrinking, tweaking, examining the innards – aka retrograde – so that the aim is more accurately directed now that Jupiter  is direct.

drive your dreamscapes

 

Paul Lehr Cover for Asimov’s The Martian Way

Mercury into Pisces
8:55am CST, USA

Mercury enters Pisces and meets up with Mars action and Neptune fantasies (both at 2 degrees) to square Jupiter largess in thinking Gemini.  Walking daydreams, scatteration, brain space station slips in & out of regular orbit, actions are nebulous, mystical mystery and high magic is primo.

Heed: Thoughts, action and fantasies ALL trine Saturn in Scorpio – Saturn is manifestation on the physical plane.

This is a test of positive visionary thinking – squares are internal tension – make brainwave scenarios high qi and positive. 

Gem Jupes is opposite Moon in Sagittarius – others (public, women, sailors, bakers) step up to the plate to deliver fine tuned tweaks in long-range thinking.  Think fluctuations and scales of balance.

Venus in Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorp – where North Node of Destiny also resides, deep culling of past love woes is on the menu.  Detach Detach Detach from feelings in order to break bad habits of fatal (Venusian) attraction ::: thought patterns, food, sex, liquor ::: whatever the monkey on your back is ::: heal from the inside out.

SUBconsciously (Pisces is subconscious) bring to you only that which you wish to carry forth into your future.  Drive your dreamscapes . . .

Soul Chariot

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. – Carl Jung

Love the synchronicities popping up all around with Aquarius and Gemini energy strong at the mo.  Fabulous Kismet moments are sparking up the ether.

I have been thinking about the internet & connections between earthkind.

note: Wild animals already have this one locked down, humans are working on unlearning what we have learned.

::::::::::
A few months ago I put a picture of myself up on GMA.  I silently watched the numbers climb until I grew so uncomfortable, one tick of the numbers was the last straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back.

The thing about photographs capturing the soul. . .? . . . eeegads I get thatI don’t like being stared at by people I don’t know – I prefer to be judged on the merits of my mind.
:::::::::::

:::::::::
Neptune (film, photography) in my chart is under duress – opposition Moon (conflict via public) and square (inner turmoil) Venus / Jupiter in Leo in the sooper private, secret detective, 8th house of sex & death.

Sun rules Leo and they both rule the SPIRIT, the SOUL.
(for the curious: Pluto and the 8th house rule soul mates.)

I have a Leonine energy that hates the spotlight, hides at high noon, occasionally gets sunstroke…I am the Leo energy that prefers the shadowy dark.  One day that picture of me appeared; within a couple of days it was uncategorized, another and it was untagged – then it went private indefinitely.
::::::::::::

So when it gets mentioned on social sites – and it always does…
::: omg I am freaking out !  ‘WHO can see WHAT’. . . ? !? 
:::

I get it, I really do get it – I am a hermit: work & home – that’s it.  I struggle with what to reveal…my friend Debra Clement once described me as fearless, though I think foolish is also often the case.
You won’t see my face on the internet  (ironically) – instead, you see my soul.
Virgo SUN / Uranus / Pluto in 9th house of publishing.

Humans are metamorphing, evolving – this social networking / sharing is the precursor to mental telepathy.  We are practicing how to wire our brains differently, daily.

Morphic Resonance is collective memory, it works like the domino effect, one gets it, then another, then another, until the ALL ONE gets it.

:::::::::::::::::::::::
Mitakuye Oyasin : We are all related.

So when my friend Donnaleigh wrote about online interaction, I had to do a draw myself.

First question: “What am I learning on the internet about personal boundaries?”

7 CHARIOT: Clearing a path through opposing forces through strength of WILL.

This one’s screaming MARS !  Opposing means my Slow ass Saturn ruler going backwards in its fall in gung-HO Aries – while in trine to Mars (rules Aries).
I may be slow, but I AM steady – and I won’t ever give up.  Mars in 11th house – natural house of Aquarius (polarities) quintile Uranus (rules Aquarius). Ruler of 11th (Pluto) conjunct Uranus.  (7 – spiritual development, choice – Uranus)

Light and dark, taking the good with the bad; don’t want to reveal but need to in order to illustrate.  Personal balance, public balance – timing and control.  Mirrors and eyes of others; the abyss looking back.  Watching behavior I want to emulate in opposition to those behaviors I want to jettison.  Sense of self while in a sea of humanity.  Master Jedi, Padawan apprentice; teaching while also being an eternal student.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Second question: “What are others learning on the internet about personal boundaries from me ?”

NETER of NETERU: Anything can be done, nothing is impossible, expectation of the unexpected.

Love this !  No number – is both above and below.  It is an ancient symbol of the standard, the cosmic axis or flagpole, where the roots of place indicate spirit above and below.  Flags are emblazoned with words or images which carry (warp and weft – polarities) earthy messages to the spirit world through the etheric winds.
I am digging it that you are all reading the polarity vibes here – feeling the subtlety of spirit, the vital breath of life in the words as they traverse the grid. . .

The Synergy between questions – Where We Meet.

5 SPIRAL: Unfolding potential, the hidden is revealed

Early stages of positive growth – the tiny acorn holds the enormous oak.
Patience, attention and sensitivity. (5 is a number of change, growth – Mercury)
