Running on Empty

Posted on by

Wherever Uranus and Sagittarius sit in your natal chart is where you need absolute freedom of expression and exploration. 

Aries house is getting a healthy dose of kick it out individuality via Uranus transit.
Communications, thinking, dualities; love, art, money and peace of mind are in expansion mode via transit through Sag. 

I have Sag on 12, the house of cosmic spirituality and mysticism; Uranus on the 9th, the house of philosophy, religion and higher thinking.  This is why I refuse traditional religious constraints of any kind.  Spirit is infinite. . . impossible to define in finite human terms.  Though I certainly do enjoy a healthy scientific exploration of the micro / macro multiverses.

Zero; emptiness / full of possibilities – the void / nirvana simultaneously.
Zero / googolplexian
I do love polarities – flipsides of the same thing – keeps life interesting !

Saturn sextiles Pluto – mutual reception – each in each others ruling house, they are for all intents and purposes working very well together, they have a strong energetic connection, like a psychic linkage.

Your Scorpio (Saturn) and Capricorn (Pluto) houses are where immense growth is possible – USE what you HAVE, follow your INSTINCTS, what you DESIRE is within reach.  This is one of many messages this Cancer Full Moon is delivering. more here

Jupiter Rx is the apex of a Yod – it is quincunx both Saturn and Pluto, both of which sextile each other.  Changes will be in progress through the strain on energies of Jupiter Rx in Gemini.  Visionary thinking turned inward.  Faith and thoughts of bonds expressed quietly, unconventionally.  Gemini is dual, seeing both sides of ethical dilemmas is likely.

How and what do you believe ?
How do you approach ceremony ? committment ?
What are your personal truths ?  your deal breakers ?

Ye olde traditional ways of SEEing your houses of Scorpio and Capricorn may be misleading – get innovative, be clever, flirt with ideas – choose carefully what to reveal, what to teach, what bridges to build and to whom. 

Who or what are your allies ?  your totems ?
Definition of totem: an object (as an animal or plant) serving as the emblem of a family or clan and often as a reminder of its ancestry; also: a usually carved or painted representation of such an object

Very Full Cancer Moon, yes ? 
Family, roots and ancestors, earth allies.

Mercury (in Sagittarius) and Jupiter Rx (in Gemini) are also in mutual reception, feeling a strong energetic connection, a psychic link.  Revolutionary thinking is expansive, yet also internalized.

I wrote before, this lunation calls for a separation of hopes, a choice of some kind.
Ditch one thing, keep another – the duality of Gem and Sag – coupled with the loss inherent to Pluto, and the building inherent to Saturn. 
::::::::::::::::
 With this in mind, I have been cleaning, getting rid of the material dross (Saturn sextile Pluto) in my home and in my life.  Pluto has been dredging up oodles of Martian personality traits – particularly through dealings with others (Pluto in my first – opposite seventh).
 Life is made for lessons, and I am getting them in spades – Matrix downloads – one right after another. Teachers are coming out of the woodwork – reflecting – what I don’t want to be, and also what I am striving for.  

Mirrors are ruled by Moon and Mercury – fitting for the current astro.
A good friend (a Sagittarius) pointed this out to me, so I share this with everyone in hopes we all can enter a more positive loving future, together.

Wrote about Gayatri Mantra here after I saw MOMIX botanica. Two similar translations are offered there, if you are an expert in Sanskrit and can do better, by all means, please do so.

With love, even the rocks will open.

Moon into Gemini 1:13am CST,USA
Mars into Aquarius 6:49am

Happy Merry everyone !
Yesterday I said ‘breaking of Jupiter’ how true that turned out – crazed kids chasing each other all over the house – no breakage.  Enter one klutzy Sag Mars (me) and I pitch over a table and accidentally behead a bunch of nativity (religious – Jupiter) figurines.  (transit Mars square natal 4, Mom home)  oy. sheesh. sorry. The irony does not escape me here.

Mars in Aquarius is tres cerebral – effortlessly popping mental gymnastics that would joggle other brains loose is their forte.  Freedom of intellectual pursuits is a must, they are socially adept; frequently changeable – subject to polarities in action  – this Mars can run hot and cold in a SNAP.

Ideas flop into the brainpan from the higher realms in a flash, personal energies are electric and magnetic.  Relentless pursuit of goals and aspirations, blade is sharp, quick.  This Mars is Positive Plus – outgoing, strong activism, bohemian energies rush outward 24/8.  Tendency towards being high – strung, needs to cultivate some form of zen maintenance to ground flighty energies.

Innovative, radical behavior that turns heads and makes waves in the energy field of all humanity – ? – very likely.  Power can turn on a dime – periods of great outward activity followed by quiet unreadable introspection. 

Brains of Mars Aquarius peeps are silently ticking away, they have a quiet reserve, which can be a fooler – architectural whizBANG genius space / time constructs are going on behind those eyes.  They are naturally intuitive, adept at reading subtle body language cues – they are passionate about what they KNOW.

Desire nature can be switched on/off like a light; great passion followed by aloof detachment is common.  Desires a brilliant mental sparring partner.  Although fixed Aquarius tends toward loyalty – Aquarius Mars needs absolute freedom of choice to remain happy.

Mars in Aquarius often needs to cultivate patience, reliability, expressing the heart and walking the middle path.

Ponderation & complexities

Posted on by

To the extent that we honor all aspects of ourselves, we remove revulsion, self-hate, horror and terror from our lives.  As whole human beings we are the creatures of the greatest complexity on this planet.  Respect for this complexity includes our insisting on acceptance of the inconsistent and incongruous.  – Theodore Rubin

Tuesday December 25
Moon into Gemini 1:13am CST,USA
Mars into Aquarius 6:49am

Friday December 28
Full Moon in Cancer 4:21am CST,USA

Lunation moves toward Full in Cancer, so feelings are whoa off the scale, as is feminine energy, home and family matters, our collective instincts are Grrrowing to FULL ON OVERDRIVE.  Capricorn Sun conjunct Pluto opposes Full Moon and the whole caboodle squares Uranus in Aries.  New Action will be taken.

Current astro is most certainly shoving the metamorphic goods down my throat.  (Yes, throat. Transit Pluto is trine my natal Toro Moon, Uranus conjunct natal Saturn Rx ruler)
My life has come to a point of do or die.  Astrology is absoulutely fecking brilliant ! I am watching the planets influence and guide me – they are also a giant celestial map of energies at play for all of us as a whole.  Like a cosmic hurdy-gurdy, planetary energies hit notes to create a song. 

Those of you with Neptune near the last solar eclipse degree (21 degrees Scorp) will be feeling the approach of the North Node of Destiny which is at 25 degrees Scorp (NN always moves retrograde) at the moment.  Leo and Aquarius are facing inner changes leading towards the future as Toro is being shown how to leave the past behind.

This lunation will be bringing illumination to your house of Cancer, Capricorn will likely deliver it via Sun conjunct Pluto.  I could deliver you a rosy photograph of how Sun and Pluto is metamorphosis, rebirth and all things shiny and brand new – okay I AM delivering you that rosy photograph – it IS TRUE.

First you must develop the negative of the photograph.  The pain, Pain, PAIN that only the Scorpion knows.  Childbirth, vomiting, death, the loss of everything you hold dear are examples of Plutonic energy.  Pluto goes deep to purge the garbage.  Sun conjunct Pluto opposing Moon will bring shifts of feelings, ego – subconscious forces may emerge and power-tripping / ego hits / disappointments can be all over the shop.  Fair Warning !  Keep in mind Plutonic benders lead to healthier rebirthing.  When you come out the other side – all will be completely changed.

This Sun/Pluto opposes Moon : something or someone is Gone with the Wind (Jupiter Rx in Gemini ) and the aching loss of it, the acute realization is the breaking of Jupiter.  

Hope for one thing must be relinquished for another hope to survive and thrive.
Gemini comes in twos as does Sagittarius (Jupiter rules).  Jupiter Rx in Gemini is the apex of two quincunxes – Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn – mutual reception.
Loss – breakdown – restructuring.

Jupiter Rx in Gemini allows a bit of wiggle room to offset the fixed energies – Jupiter Rx is where a reshaping and reforming of thinking, values, ethics and philosophies will take place – so check your Gemini house changes INCOMING !

Also note Gemini 3rd (Mercury) and Sagittarius 9th houses rule teachers.  At the time of this lunation, Mars will have entered Aquarius in trine to Jupiter Rx in Gemini – Mars is the blade, the weapon.  Bills are Mercury, laws are Jupiter –  there is much debate of gun control in the US, as there should be after senseless deaths of young Sandy Hook schoolchildren.

We are emotionally supported by the energies of a Grand Water Trine (partly separating, but I’ll take it !) Cancer Full Moon (applying to) Scorpio Saturn and Pisces Neptune / Chiron.  Consider that a blessing as Neptune/Chiron THE HEALERS also sextile Sun/Pluto the usurpers and destroyers.  Opportunities for massive growth are bunking up in houses Pisces and Scorpio – use them !

Sun conjunct Pluto in Capricorn shines daylight on HOW death may turn to be of USE, a rebirth follows death – ALWAYS.
Gun laws must be re-examined – we must stop these senseless killing sprees.  Also think of outdated principles of inefficient big business corps, overtaxing, draining OUR RESOURCES on and in Mother Earth, for instance.  Haven’t we all lost faith in big corps, big govt and their shoddy practices of raping and pillaging both our earth and people for profits ?

And wtf are corps/govt’s so gung-ho to poison everyone and thing on the planet ?
I LIVE here, DRINK here, EAT here. 
I don’t want a bunged up pineal gland from swallowing too much fluoride, I don’t want genetically modified crops, and I most certainly do not want clearcut rainforests and palm oil in everything from toothpaste to cereals.  I have gone organic, buying reverse osmosis H20 asap, I’ve simply HAD IT with sneaky corps and their purposely misleading labelling and lies.  DONE.

Apply the same principles (the micro) to you and your life. 
What must die in order for you to make the best USE of your TIME and ENERGY ?
Where is your future path leading you ? Look to 25 degrees of Leo and Aquarius for where change is being forced.   The same of 25 Taurus – this is what must be left behind in order for your future to unfold.  (NNode is not a physical point in space, yet the energies of these houses offer clues to where work must be done.)  My King of Wands has just been Knighted – well cracked over the head with North Node, really.  (Jupiter in Leo)
IT IS TIME.

Mercury (25 degrees) conjuncts Venus and Galactic Center (27 degrees) in Sagittarius.  Visionary thinking regarding money, love, partnership and harmony is pouring in from the cosmos (and out of earth towards the cosmos) while Mercury quintiles Chiron.  Picture the energetic geometric grids: conduits crisscrossing the planet, smaller scale it is also in your body via nerves (which by the way Gemini rules) and nervous system.  The same is true of everything in the known and unknown universe – we are all connected like the spiral of a spiders web (Saturn rules the physical world) that circles ever outward.
( ( ( ripples ) ) )

Now we get our heads (Gemini) right, and work towards our futures.
Be patient, loving and use your energies wisely.

dual citizenship

YULE
Longest night of the year – the darkest of the dark nights. 
I love it here in the private cool dark…few go outside in the northern hemisphere when the snow and wind blow, so my usual routine of seclusion blends right into the woodwork.  Sweeet.

This is the time Sun enters Capricorn – Midheaven in the natural chart – the pinnacle of material solidification, the time of quiet solitude, concentration and deepest growth.

Capricorn embodies TIME, and the passage of it.
YULE (winter solstice) means WHEEL in Norse.

The wheel of time has seen this planet through mass extinctions – yes that is plural.
Continental drift, magnetic polar shifts, your life up to this point, and this particular change of seasons.

Wisdom is inherent to Capricorn, because Capricorn IS TIME.
Saturn (rules Cap) is old age, the adage; time has passed, experience is earned, and acceptance of WHAT IS is reached.

The passage of Father (Saturn) time (Scythe) is the end of dark days and the beginning of New Sun / Son represented by the birth of longer daylight.  Solstice is from the Latin words sol (sun) and sisto (stop).  See Sacred Round here.

POLARITES
of the
MYSTICAL SEAGOAT

– Freshly embodied matter from the etheric state is wrestling the cosmic spiritual language into material goalset.

– Decaying matter wrestles the energetic bonds keeping the etheric chained to the material realm.

Thus we have entered the festival of Lights, named for the darkest days on Mother Earth, hence Saturnalia, Saturn rules Mother Earth – yet Saturn is also Father.

Dual citizenship. 
Hmmm.
Are you getting that ?!
Takes two.
Partnership.
Compromise.
Promise.
Justice.
Just US.
:::::::::::::

ALL ONE.

Polarities abound, yes..?
Saturn was the ancient ruler of Aquarius.

Saturn: slow and steady, reliable, clubby.
Uranus: individual thoughtspeed global networkings.

We are connecting earthwide via our thoughtspeeds in the material realm.
Where thoughts go energy flows.

Vitally differing (stagnant / electric) energies, POLARITES.
Two sides acting as ONE.

Northern Hemisphere celebrates Yule as Southern Hemisphere celebrates Litha, or midsummer.

Happy Solstice
You are not alone

They must change often, who would be
constant in happiness.
Confucius

Of late I have been wrangling Moon via Pluto – coming and going – transit & natal trine
 Subconscious drives and pathways are undergoing an overhaul, relationships with women, the public and how I see them (natal Pluto is in 9) is metamorphing bigtime.

Which of course, means I AM as well.  Pluto is in my first (natural Aries) square Aries.

Pluto is square Uranus in Aries for everyone , so what WE ARE is dawning on us and we are changing as a Mass Consciousness.  (Pluto rules the masses, also rules death, and psychoanalysis)

 I see changes are being pushed forward re: American gun laws, let’s hope positive changes are forthcoming in the mental health field as well.

I have also been giving thought to ME (Aries, obviously) and my aspects and how I trigger people without even intending to.  I AM working on this diligently, fyi.
(Saturn Rx in Aries here)

I am referring to my natal Sun / Uranus / Pluto conjunction in 9.
Just by sucking air and interacting, I am a walking catalyst – tripping the energy – on the active square between Uranus Pluto in everyone I come into contact with.
Trust me, just as fun as it sounds.

I am a loner, for the most part – that’s the Uranian bit – if I do interact with you in any way, I AM taking time (Saturn) out of my life to do so, that should be an indication of my investment right off the bat.  I do care about people, for pity’s sake I AM a multi-Virgo !

For the record, what you say to me, I think about – if it resonates.  Sometimes I do anyway because I am sensitive, though with Capricorn rising it may be difficult to see that at first glance.  This has been the year of passive aggressive confrontations and it is about to drive me up a wall and down the other side.

If you have confronted me directly, I thank you – you do me the honor of speaking to me when I am right in front of you.  Online (you can’t see me) BS has disintegrated human manners to Neanderthal knuckle dragging grunts. ugh

To begin by always thinking of love as an action rather than a feeling is one way in which anyone using the word in this manner automatically assumes accountability and responsibility. 
Bell Hooks

Know that I know I was called VOID; know that I was told to tone down and BE SOFT rather than unfold a reflection of judgmental ideas back.  I play. I am fond of play, with Venus conjunct Jupes in Leo, I play and I have a kind heart.  I AM actively working at being more precise and loving in speech and actions – that’s a fact.  You can count on me to be honest, sometimes blunt, but honest – and playful – with a banquet of intensity on the side.

Know this – I AM no shrinking violet, I was born this way.
If you expect Uranus and Pluto to tone it down – yeah, well, good luck with that.

peace
