FullSizeRenderElemental Tarot

Heading into Uranus Pluto energy – I called for the crucible, the crux of Uranus/Pluto.
During both the Lunar and Solar Eclipse.

Interestingly, Byelborg/Chernoborg are the Slavic gods of Day/Night.
Apt for Eclipses, yes ?!

The Work
Concentration of mental effort.  Logic !  
Authority through intellect.
Being thorough, building with wise words.
Respect earned by steady, constant work and the mature wisdom that accompanies that body of work.

Boundaries, strong mental thought focused to brilliance – the 3rd eye Sun.  

This card indicates inspiration (yang) or deception (yin).
That which is seen – that which is not.
Again – very apt for Eclipses.

Circumstances change lightning fast with Eclipses !

Solar eclipse points to bright new beginnings.  
Lunar Eclipse highlights endings, melancholy that accompanies emotional loss.  

Make both work for you.

Peace GMA

Lure of Luxury

TZVIATKO KINCHEV-11Tzviatko Kinchev

Venus in Libra (she rules) is a thoughtful, social placement for the planet of love, art, beauty and money.  While in Taurus (she also rules) Venus is earthbound, valuing the material world; while in Libra she values ideas, one-on-one relationships, harmony and refinement.

This Venus loves to make people feel comfortable and at ease, they delight in clever conversation.  They are fond of conventional pleasantries, politeness and expect reciprocation in kind.  Their homes are lovely, filled with pleasing, beautiful things, as are their closets.  These folks are the clothes horses of the zodiac, loving to appear their best at every function – be it a ballroom, or a ball diamond – they have it together. They match.

Venus here is diplomatic and considerate, seeing situations from every angle.  They will gladly listen to other viewpoints in order to better weigh all options before making a formal judgment.  While they are professional advice givers, they are often hard-pressed to make decisions in their own lives.  The tendency to over think any and every move is to be avoided.

This Venus is charming, liking their mates to be pleasing as well.  Shoddy dress and sloppy speech will not impress.  This Venus can be flippant and a bit insincere at times, preferring to placate rather than be pushy.  This Venus makes friends easily for they are friendly and outgoing. (Cardinal)

When it comes to money, they are good at attracting it, but need to keep good sense when spending it.  The lure of luxury and label is strong.   Libra Venus is romantic and generous, they enjoy sharing.  They show appreciation for those they love with tokens of affection, such as notes, sweets or similar small, kind gestures.

Divergent

“I’m so that chick who is into astrology.” – Shailene  source

Upon reading that, I am not at all surprised to find her starring in Divergent, which is based on the idea of human ‘factions’ determined by traits/talents.  Those who have developed all these traits and do not easily test into a specific faction are called Divergent.  aka: Uranian. lol !  How Uranian are you ?

Divergent I went in without expectations and was captivated by the idea/feel of this universe.  The choosing ceremony was particularly beautiful, the bowls representing each faction, perfection.  More on Factions here.  Obviously being highly Uranian myself, (Sun conjunct) it makes sense I connected to this movie so strongly.  Aptitude test here.
Me: Honest, brave, kind.

I also saw Shailene and Miles (another actor in Divergent) in The Spectacular Now, and I loved their performances, was happy to see more of their work.  Ashley Judd was, as usual, sublimely sensational in Divergent.  I wrote about Ashley here.

So a quick bit on Shailene’s astrology. . .
Can’t make this stuff up folks !
Uranus in Capricorn bang on North Node of Destiny at 11 degrees both trine Jupiter at 11 degrees Virgo. North Node is known as being Jupiterian in nature or expansive, so the chosen work will broaden many an unusual horizon/unusual choices will expand the work opportunities.

Pluto ? Currently transiting at 11 degrees Capricorn.  Pluto transit to natal Uranus/NNode is incredibly transformative, note also this conjunction includes Neptune at 14 Capricorn. Transformation through art/work and film (Neptune) is the fuel for carving out the unusual/unique path of destiny.  Learning is accelerated by this transit as well – daily work involves quick thinking amidst many distractions.

shailene-woodley-2057190615
Mars coming to conjunct natal Sagittarius Mercury at 14 fires UP thinking/perceptions  with Grand Fire Trine energy – Jupiter is currently at 15 Leo, Uranus is at 14 Aries, Mars is at 9 Sagittarius – she’s definitely feeling this inspirational fire trine.  (Hopefully she is  getting more sleep than I am !)

Shailene is also having a whammy transit over her stellium: Scorpio Sun at 22 degrees with Mars bang on Pluto at 20 degrees Scorpio.  That’s a combo delivering high octane regeneration of self 24/7, she packs a powerful creative punch, though with Venus in Libra, power is charming and graceful, fair.  Pisces Moon also shows a sublime sensitivity underlying all these powerful conjunctions.  Note also: Mars is knives/guns, she wields both very well in Divergent.
“Why do people keep saying that ?!”  Loved that bit.

Saturn ?  Currently transiting at 20 degrees Scorpio, so restriction/transformation via work is very prominent, new challenges are presenting themselves quickly.  Bob & weave, work hard, use the energies to advantage – ride that dragon !  (North Node is the Dragon’s Head)

Tris DivergentMutual reception between Saturn and Pluto brilliantly supports these tough transits.  Saturn and Pluto are in each other’s ruling signs – they are speaking each others language – tag team metamorphosis is in progress.

Venus return is also coming up, with the natal Venus at 6 Libra which will usher in beauty, art, love and affection from all quarters.  Venus square natal Uranus at this time may deliver work surprises, as well as creative collaborations/recalibrations leading to more balance in life.

Great work, well done.  I look forward to more.

Peace

Mercury in Scorpio is a stealthy super-sleuth placement. 
This Mercury excels at ferreting out the dark secrets of others, but make no mistake – they steadfastly guard their own to the death.  Imaginings and mental meanderings often take a mysterious darker turn towards the shadows. 

Scorpio thoughts are naturally found lurking between light/life and dark/death – this Mercury craves that which is unseen.  They gravitate towards and are motivated by depths of the mind that are rich with transformative power.  This Mercury shrinks not from the bitter tongue of truth, they are uncannily perceptive, brutally on point.

Mercury in the sign of desires and conspiracy enjoys those who demonstrate both mental prowess and persuasive wordplay.  They play the power card like a pro.  Scorpio Mercury picks, prods and provokes the power from others with a passionate fervor.  This Mercury has stamina and strength.  This is also true of their hands – strong, sensual.

Discerning and forceful, this Mercury placement is charismatic and slick.  Mental obsessions and stagnant or repeating thought processes (eg. sex, stalking, revenge) are to be avoided at all costs.  Controlling siblings is a hallmark of this placement as is a tendency to dominate and control others through speech or writing – be aware of it.

Scorpio Mercury locked and loaded into positive metamorphosis mode is capable of extreme feats of mind over matter.  They are intense, often remaining silent, preferring their speech powerful, profound.  Scorpio Mercury is one of the most mysterious placements in the zodiac, here the usually chatty Mercury runs quiet, still and deep.

Loving the Cutting Edges

Venus in Aquarius
Venus in fixed air sign Aquarius is a bubbly, quirky, Venus – buzzing with bohemian perspectives on art, love, friendship, partnerships of all kinds.

Venus here attracts equally as often as she separates due to the influence of Uranus which rules Aquarius.
This Venus is born and bred into a life of innovation and change – they hook up connections between others – they are uncannily perceptive electrical conduits between people  – artistic and intellectual ideas come in a flash.

Venus in Aquarius understands chaos IS harmony, revels in it.  Balance to this Venus is a dance of fluctuations – common sense dictates life and love are eccentric. Venus in Aquarius relationships are fixed and stable, yet need lots of air and space to grow wildly and free.

Venus and her relationship with money is just as strongly progressive in this placement.  Money is a means to an end – more funds means more experience across the globe.  This Venus is also keenly aware of the plight of those less fortunate and will quietly, kindly, lend a hand of support, either by volunteering, donations or direct involvement.

This Venus is loving and kind, but somewhat distant due to their tendency to be in their heads intellectualizing love.  They know they love you, think you should also know this without constant declarations, gifts.

This sign does well with innovative communicative relationships – sharing ideas of love, making mutual needs known is the key to unlocking this placement.  Also have plenty of free time of your own to develop your work and goals – show your Venus Aquarius you are the cutting edge as well.

Check out the sexy flash of universe under the Doc’s coat –  Love it.
A tease of randy mystical seagoat underlying serious Time Lord biz.
Of course I chose the Doctor for Venus in Capricorn !

Capricorn is Time, Earth, Authority, Work, Restriction.
Venus is Love, Balance, Diplomacy, Togetherness.

Love is the ancient glue that holds the universe together – Venus attracts and balances.  She is a peace monger looking for friendship and love.  

Saturn indicates ties that bind.  Saturn contacts in synastry are work – plain and simple – you are bound to each other through those energies until the lesson is learned.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::

eg.  My ex had Jupiter smack on my Aries Saturn Rx.  I thought I partied before I met him, then realized he was running PhD level (Neptune rising, Pisces 5th / Leo MC).  When it comes to parties, our crew is professional, no doubt of that.  My Saturn got a biggie dose of ‘let’s follow ALL our impulses’, which was of course both good & bad.

I have Venus-ruled Libra at MC, (house of Capricorn) so among other things, I am here to work cooperatively, see and experience both sides of everything, and balance love and finances.
:::::::::::::::::::

Capricorn Venus energy in and of itself is strict, fair and honest – they will give and get in kind.  Capricorn Venus can be melancholy, it is inherent to the energy of Capricorn/ Saturn. Caps are serious, no-nonsense, what you see is what you get kind of people.

Venus is money, and Caps can be frugal, thrifty – they know how to stretch a dollar by using old things that work and wear well.  When they do spend, the consumer reports guide is browsed, reviews considered carefully, then, and only then the top-of-the-line purchase comes.

In love, Venus Caps are also thrifty and frugal – if you are looking for an abundance of demonstrative love, you may wanna try a fire sign Venus.  Saturn restricts by nature.  The object of the Cap Venus’ affection will be loved steadfastly, quietly and steadily over the course of time…this is the gift of Capricorn Venus.
:::::::::::::::::::::
Look what I found 1/2 price !  My hand was on it in a nanosecond.
It was red – THAT didn’t last long.  It became Tardis blue in a jiffy !  Still needs a couple of modifications, then blinking lights – and I have myself a Tardis for command central.  (Doctor Action figure not included.)

Capricorn Venus peeps are patient and – let’s face it – about as fast as a herd of turtles, but the work is quality, long-lasting… as is the love.  Some of you may be wondering why I am only just now writing about Venus in Capricorn … I have my reasons (besides making a funny point).
::::::::::::::
Time strengthens the bonds for Venus in Capricorn folks.  They understand work is love / love is work.  Age and / or wisdom is desirable as is status and reliability. They want you to know you can count on them, and they need to be able to count on you too.   In times of trouble, Capricorn Venus folks will stick by those they love – come thick or thin, they are rock solid.

Venus moves into Aquarius

ok, this is just funny Time Lord stuff.

fyi: Saturn rules dunces and dads

Double edged sword

Posted on by

May I introduce Mr. Karl Urban.

I am always amazed at how astrology is so layered….complex, and yet equally stunningly simple.  Karl is a Gemini Sun, Mercury combust (within 2 degrees of Sun means solar rays overpower Mercury, ego can rule thinking) and Sun conjunct Saturn (which gives a little balance, reality check to the combust Mercury) all in Gemini.  Mercury rules Gemini, so it is well-placed despite being combust.

Here’s the stunningly simple bit: trekkies (me !) can tell you if you don’t know yourself – Karl dead on NAILED the role of Dr. McCoy ‘Bones’  in Star Trek.  I read it brought Leonard Nimoy to tears, Karl was that good.  I can tell you my jaw dropped…whoa. !
For the record, Karl ~ you were awesome !   Trek sequel is in post-production yippie !

Gemini’s are fabulous mimics and Karl has Sun (honors, recognition) smack between Mercury (rules names, communication) and Saturn (rules bones).  See how easy ?!

Astrology has a myriad of layers like a prism diverts rays of light, humans are complex, we have depth ~ stages of learning and growth unfold as the planets move with us throughout our lives…fascinating, yes ?
Click here for similar film astro story surrounding James Earl Jones of Vader fame.

Karl has this Gemini conjunction trine Uranus in Libra.  (Now I know why he reminds me of my brother.  My brother was an 3rd house [Gemini rules] Aquarius [Uranus rules]stellium.)  Gemini Mercury trine Libra Uranus is savvy and bright, uncannily perceptive on relationship matters, and those involving art, love and money.  Uranus is unpredictable and is aptly named ‘the awakener’ for it is the ginormous game changer that strikes in an instant.  It is polarities – one minute you are here – next minute you are there.  Standing in the same spot but with a 180 shift in perspective. BAM !

Gemini’s see both sides, they are idea people – Sun, Mercury and Saturn trine Uranus in Libra is super observant, weighs and balances thinking, communications.  Uranus is the esoteric ruler of Libra – it is the intuitive wrecking ball of the status quo, delivering stunning insights in a lightning flash ~>  a whole new world, way of thinking follows.
Also, Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury and I know it rules body language (non-verbal) as it is an intuitive art, telepathic.  Karl channelled that innate talent into the role of McCoy – the body language was spot on.  Even if viewers didn’t consciously  know the exacts of why Karl was so dead on, they instinctively  knew.  Animals communicate in this way, it is honed and precise.  Some humans also have a genius ability in this area, Karl is one of these people.

Saturn in Gemini is an alert, clever focused  mind.  It acts as a funnel or anchor for the innate flip-flop dual nature of Mercury ruled Gemini.  Saturn builds a foundation in thinking and communicating – it does the hard work, conjunct Sun, Karl is a hard worker and proud (Sun) of the work he does.

This Gemini stellium is also sextile Moon in Aries, that’s communication meets action on the playing field.  Moon (feelings) in Aries likes to go gung ho – it is impulsive and independent – a leading Moon, not a following passive Moon, for it is powered by Mars and wants what it wants when it wants it, and make it snappy !  Moon is conjunct Chiron (loosely perhaps, don’t have his exact time of birth here) leading to self-revelations regarding the wounding and subsequent healing via women and/or the public in his life.  Moon is opposite Libra Uranus so love relationships and/or relationships with the public will result in breakthroughs in how he feels, what he knows (Uranus) intuitively, and how he acts (Mars).  This conjunction and subsequent awakening completely overhauls his way of nurturing himself and others.

Karl has Mars in Cancer at 16 degrees, conjunct John Rhys-Davies Mars at 20 degrees Cancer.  (Sean Bean’s Mars is at 4 degrees Cancer.)  This means they feel (Moon rules Cancer) and actively respond to situations in a similar fashion. Karl is a big fan of Indiana Jones and likely really enjoyed working with John. (Karl named one of his sons Indy, short for Indiana..!..and ok, I have to interject Mercury loves to name things and his other son’s name is Hunter, great names, imo !)   [note: Thanks Universe for giving me a whole new mindset on Mars in Cancer peeps. Message received. O&O]

Karl has 3 T-Squares, focal planets are as follows:
Focal planets are under the most stress to transform the squares, which are inner tension and friction, they represent obstacles to be overcome. 

Invoke the highest vibration of Mars (enthusiasm rather than anger; Pluto transformation of self rather than power over others; Jupiter exploration of philosophies rather than extravagance and lack of foresight)

Mars in Cancer (square-inner tension) Moon in Aries & Uranus in Libra
[Moon opposite Uranus]

Pluto in Virgo (square) Venus in Cancer & Jupiter in Capricorn
[Venus opposite Jupiter]

Jupiter in Capricorn (square) Uranus in Libra & Moon in Aries
[Moon opposite Uranus]

First off, Karl’s Pluto is exact conjunct my 29 degree Virgo Sun. He transforms, while I enlighten,… seems appropriate.  The 29th degree is a culmination degree (each sign has 30 degrees, 0-29) meaning he will transform (Pluto) by service to others, self-improvement and problem solving. He will likely constantly seek perfection (Virgo) through transformative experiences.  This will involve a strain between love, his art (Venus) home and family (Cancer) and possibly overwork.  Most likely, distance (Jupiter) from family while working is very difficult for him.  The high side of this is honing the higher vision (Jupiter in Capricorn) into a piece of material work is intensely gratifying, undoubtedly he wants and needs public approval.  (Venus and Mars in sensitive Cancer.)  * for the record, I own Pathfinder, Riddick & love them, I have yet to watch Comanche Moon, my Mother owns it…soon.

Karl has 5 retrograde planets: Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto.  Retrograde planetary energies manifest or ‘incubate’ as internal energy until they are ready to manifest outwardly.  Retrograde energies are usually forced by an outside circumstance to manifest outwardly – as they begin to manifest outwardly you will WoW people with your seemingly new  talents and traits.

North Node of Destiny is in Capricorn, Saturn (rules Cap) is conjunct Sun in Gemini trine Uranus in Libra sextile Moon (public) and opposite Neptune (film).
Unusual communication via the conduit of work in film in the public spotlight.
North Node trine Virgo Pluto indicates transformation though visionary analyzation of artwork, communication and duty.

Since Karl is loaded with polarities (that is a compliment, btw., I am too.) I want to mention Hephaistos (asteroid of blacksmiths; forgiveness, craft, cunning and skill ), since Karl was part of a Weta project regarding the Weta weaponry – speaking in a doco – which of course I cannot locate at the moment, will return to edit, check back.

Éomer carried Gúthwinë (Old English  for battle-friend). It was borne by him at the battle of Hornburg, and presumably at the battle of the Pelennor Fields and the battle before Morannon.  Karl’s Hephaistos is trine Jupiter and biquintile (special talents) Pluto giving him an added boost of artistic (Venus rules Taurus) transformation.
Ok, um Karl has Sun at 16 degrees Gemini conjunct MY Hephaistos, my Sun is conjunct HIS Pluto…fascinating. I did mention polarities, did I not ? lol.

So Karl will experience the Occultation of Venus conjunct his 16 degree Gemini Sun on the 5th of June. (Occultation is 15 ’45 Gemini)  This will likely trigger a long-term slow acting shift in his way of thinking about art, love and relationships.  It may induce a more inclusive, cosmic or intuitive (Sun trines natal Libra Uranus) way of thinking (opposite natal Neptune in Sagittarius) and seeing the cosmos and dealing with others.  It will also tune up his higher ideals surrounding beliefs, healing through film work and the public, as well as on the family front (Moon).  Revelations regarding the creative self and future directions will come into focus with the occultation of Venus.

Saesa omentien lle, lle ume quel, quel marth, mellon.
