Star of the Show

Question girl has a question.
I know, I know – Leo full moon me Me ME and all that…but what sort of 8th house Leo spy researcher would I be if I didn’t have an oddball query for Aquarius Sun in opposition ?

In astrology, Sun rules the conscious; Moon the subconscious.
Rupert Sheldrake goes one step further to ask, “What if the sun has consciousness ?”

Everything has a time and season…our Sun was once born and one day will die – it is alive and giving off energy – just like us.  I look at life, also death – I am Plutonic, hence the Vampire Tarot.

It is with this spirit that I ask, “What does our star, our Sun want us to know ?”
Us being those drawing breath on Gaia now. 

Fascinating response.

Earth is erotic and seductive, mysterious and romantic…water, emotion and lust.  It is a hypnotic dream state, influential – but not all it appears to be.  Living is holy baptism in the water of life, the metamorphosis delivered by the struggle for knowledge. We are, our the earth is –  primarily water – emotional and intuitive with a desire to delve deep into experience.

Here we discover our identity, we ‘test’ the waters, so we may find balance.

The message from spirit or crux:
Grounded in the physical world is Earth school, the material limitations that must be overcome in order to fulfill the spiritual quest.  Material form is primal animal nature: blood, teeth – life and death and the lessons learned in between.  It is survival of the fittest – physical stamina coupled with cunning and craft and companionship.

Here we face karma; authority, limitations and boundaries. 

On this full moon with Jupiter we walk between worlds.
Peace

Pulled a quick card (see twitter feed) for incoming Pisces Venus conjunct Chiron (exact on the 8th) at 15 degrees. Chariot – moving through opposing forces – was apt in more ways than one.

Venus moves to meet Chiron and Mars.
They are within 3 degrees of separation on the 14th (USA) – though they will not reach exact until the hop into Aries at 1 degree on the 21st.

As always, note the energetic event that accompanies the heavenly shift occurs before the energies are exact.  If you are a sensitive with these planets active in your natal, you will likely be feeling it 7-5 degrees out.

Venus conjunct Chiron = wound & healing re: love, security, money/trades, inclusiveness, compassion and the knowledge of karma that accompanies all choices.  It represents the learning that springs from wise understanding of both.  Lower and higher octaves of love/art (Venus in Pisces, Neptune also in sign) helps smooth this transit via higher vibration.  Keep in mind during this transit that emotional compassion and/or pain is wisely used to:
1 help yourself
2 help others

Know what you want, where you are going, how to get there.
Have faith in your future, just keep walking, swimming – whatever !
Head ’em up and move ’em out !

Venus conjunct Mars on the 21st also brings Moon conjunct Uranus in Aries, a visceral shedding of the old emotional baggage while shoring up paths into new horizons via trines to Jupiter Rx in Leo and Saturn in Sagittarius.

Take projects in small bites, larger steps, until you are flat out running with it.
Power IS operating – change is imminent.
Venus in Pisces encourages us to be kind, fair and just…with others as well as ourselves.

peace

rose-leslie-game-of-thrones-6Rose Leslie as Ygritte, Game of Thrones

A bit of mini interp prior to Full Leo Moon conjunct Jupiter stuff…

Rose is an Aquarius with Jupiter (traditional ruler) in Pisces in exact square to Uranus in Sagittarius.  Sagittarius (the archer) is ruled by Jupiter; Pisces rules film as well as what lies beyond.  Rose is either a late Gemini or early Cancer Moon – making Jupiter focal planet of a(n out of sign possibly) T-square with Moon opposing either Uranus/Saturn in Sag or Venus/Neptune in Capricorn.

Pisces Jupiter is sensitive, enthusiastic – while square Sagittarius Uranus, wildly unpredictable – gypsy spirit emotional consciousness, seeing/knowing keen: scout. 
If Moon is in Gemini: think/hear it coming; Moon in Cancer: gut/feel it coming. Pisces Mercury tends towards transcendent thinking, daydreams – senses of thinking and feeling are tightly woven.

In tandem with Aquarius Sun, boho individualism is strong, rebellious, while Venus and Neptune in Capricorn shore up love/work structure, goalsets and practicality.  Values earth, time, place, emotional roots, the past.  Mars in Aries (ruling) is gutsy, brave and independent; adventurous and hard-working when trine Uranus/Saturn in Sagittarius.

I see now why her performance moved me to tears at the end of last season.  Actions screamed, yet volumes remained silently unspoken.  Exquisite, truly.  Astrologically, Rose’s late Sag trines my Leo Venus Jupiter & her Venus is on my ASC.  Ygritte is a tough girl on the outside, but sensitive on the inside.  I get that – more than I’d like to admit.  How perfect the line and the fact Rose is an Aquarius, yes ?  Brilliant.

Full Leo Moon opposite Aquarius Sun delivers news via culmination in house Leo.  In conjunction with Jupiter Rx we have more feelings, more drama, more flair, a dash of luck and lots of learning – retrogrades explore interior landscapes – with Full Moon, lush emotional landscapes.  While Jupiter travels Rx in Leo: we learn about ourselves, our creativity, our heart space and the s/hero within.  What leads you to Rise out of bed in the morning with a song in your heart ?  This Moon points you right to it !  This moon clears the space + opens the door of the heart so you can more easily see/know.

1 Internal (Mercury/Jupiter Retrograde)
2 External – as Mercury goes direct mid-February, the last Uranus/Pluto square perfects mid-March, Jupiter goes direct mid-April

While feelings are in opposition to Sun we see/feel the peace talks and likely a rebalancing of emotions and an emotional detachment/ release from what no longer serves us.  Leo is all about me Me ME and how the individual spirit needs to be expressed.  To feel joy, we must feel we have PURPOSE.

Sun in Aquarius thinks globally – yet we are individuals within the global energetic etheric field.  We must first suss out personal issues before we can offer the world our highest vibration.  So it is.

Uranus is square Pluto with last exact on the way mid-March.
03 17 2015 Aries Uranus & Capricorn Pluto both Direct – 15 degrees
This full moon at 14 Leo trine Uranus activates our entrance into positive (forward) growth via:
1 internal visualization.
2 Elbow grease.
Hallelujah !

Many have been releasing, purging, surrendering and letting go … all the while, new structures have been slowly taking form.  Sagittarius Saturn square Neptune at full Moon accentuates the place of emotional friction between what we feel we are capable of and what we are actually seeing unfold at. this. point.  Both are flexible, mutable and working – building the dream straight from emotional visualization.
Have faith in yourself and in others.

Be positive, light of heart – focused and specific.
Seek wisdom inside yourself, your path is yours and your alone.
Make it know.

Ancient keys of wisdom

Posted on by

FullSizeRender 3The Philosopher’s Stone

Quick reading for Venus square Saturn.

Saturn is the restriction, the slowing, perfecting, deepening, building, work, time, and the aged sage.
Venus is love, art, social graces, kindness, beauty, finery, flattery, money, trades and partnerships.

Squares indicate inner turmoil that leads to intense growth as we work to use the energies wisely.  Internal metamorphosis.

Reading purpose: to identify what we collectively need to ponder for personal enlightenment, highest growth.
1 Card above is Saturn – the stuck place.
2 Card below is Venus – the giving place.

1 Contrast: (card number 17 or 8)
Seeing the differences, comparing, compensation of energies.  This is further highlighted by 8: gains and reversals, regeneration, Samsāra, or continuous flow.
Saturn in higher mind Sagittarius focuses exploratory student/teaching, learning, philosophies – particularly while Jupiter is Rx in Leo.  We compare and contrast former versions of ourselves – what is working and what is not.  Change is imminent, a decision comes.

FullSizeRender 4Dark Goddess Tarot

2 Ereshkigal – Sumerian Goddess of the Underworld.
This goddess is queen of death; descent followed by resurrection.  She, with the face of a lizard, holds burial gifts.  She is derived from a Mesopotamian funerary figure 1K years older than the cities of ancient Sumer.  She is from a time when Above and Below were not so separated.

No one may return to the land of the living.
No one can rule both Above and Below.

Trust the insights that emerge from your depths, subconscious seas hold many keys to unlock ancient doors of wisdom.  Know thyself.

Pisces is strong: Venus (exalted), Mars, Neptune (ruling) and Chiron (the healer) are in the sign of healing, cosmic connections, day & night dreams.  Follow where intuition leads: know your surroundings and see the patterns emerge,  

Keep digging, for discoveries are near, but deep.  Know your deal breakers, be aware others have them as well and act accordingly.

Earth healing is magickal at this time.  Clay, tree, root and stone.
Cleansing via 7 day burial of sacred objects is recommended, as are Earth offerings.
Energy clearing.

Peace

Venus into Pisces tomorrow delivers a square to Saturn in Sagittarius through Friday, then lessening.
Creative obstacles must be overcome by walking through, over, around, under what is SEEN – just believe + keep walking.  

Believe in what (who ?) you ask ?

Love, money, relationships ahem REALationships – we are in Pisces here.
Balance, trades, social graces, women, popularity.

Saturn slows the work but we have (Taurus motto, Venus rules) Venusian OPTIONS waiting to be tapped like the mother vein of SOURCE.
Venus in mutable Pisces certainly delivers higher octave creative choices on deck – drowning in a sea of woe is not an option – not with Saturn involved.

Suck it up sweetheart is this sirens song.
Everyone has issues – how we USE the issues is the making of us.
Yes I said US.  Together.
North Node in Libra, y’all.
Work it.  Saturn !   Aquarius is detached, impersonal – if your growth requires becoming more open and accepting, you will explore that with this transit.  (Uranus on south node, Mars in Pisces)

Note as this square perfects, so does Mercury Rx conjunct Sun in Aquarius.  You may be surprising yourself with all you have to offer.  Others will be letting you know as well, messages incoming from all quarters.
Conscious, Subconscious, totems, spirit.

Venus with Neptune will loosen the boundaries Saturn is setting in the sign of looking with our higher mind vision.  Instead we will be USING THIRD EYE higher intuition and emotional connection.

Fear is the mind killer. (Dune)
Build a wall or build a bridge OR – build BOTH.
Intelligently.
Mercury and Jupiter retrograde – higher & lower mind are working out the internal kinks between personal will and collective progress.

Believe in Love
Have Faith.
Whatever that means to you.
Peace

Mars in Pisces is stealth.
Singular Mars will becomes ONE for ALL & ALL for ONE. This instinctive, impulsive, Mars is a slippery sensate who goes with the flow just as often as they create it.  Imagination, fantasy, artistic urges and the need to retreat into solitude are backed by ENERGY.

They often avoid confrontation, though are extremely resilient in a pinch.  It is wise to note: Mars anger often quietly submerges to lick its wounds in private only to rise from the depths in a more monstrous form later when you least expect it.  Mars will be subdued for only so long…underestimate at your own peril.

High qi Mars in Pisces is a Jedi vibration, ala May the Force be with You.
“You will know… when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack. ”  Yoda

Feelers are tweaked, mysticism and subconscious drives are deeply tuned & turned: outward due to Mars – inward due to Pisces.  Mars in water is attuned emotionally, intuitively and sympathetically.  Pisces Mars is elusive and doing many things in many different directions, nailing them down is nearly impossible as they act in tandem with the tidal flow of emotions, feelings and subconscious drives.

Daydreams are par for the course.  Night dreams are off the scale active – interpret them.  Divination, music, art, film, surfing/water sports are natural stress relievers.  Denying or escaping sensitivities by dissolving into addiction is not recommended.  Instead build healthy boundaries with plenty of solitude and peace & quiet.

This is a fantastically creative Mars placement when other aspects add the ability to focus prolific imaginative dreams into manifested reality.

Pisces Moon nearing Void at 19″ 27′, subscribers see calendar.  Deets on how you can get Gneiss Moon 2015 astro cal here.

Today’s questions:
1 – Best Pisces Moon emo focus for most positive growth. (above)
2 – How to best ground Pluto in Capricorn, our singular earth energy. (below)

Combustion
Kundalini flare.  Pisces influence comes in waves, particularly with Moon waxing.
Sensitivities hightened by Aquarius energy Sun/Mercury/Venus opposing Jupiter in Leo, shifts in the balance between inspiration and the lower and higher mind (Mercury and Jupiter both Rx).  

Actions of another are lighting fuses in houses Aquarius and Leo.

Knowing of the Heart.
Personal Aura.
Exploring energies.

Combustion is short-lived. 
Hair trigger actions will and do happen with Uranian energy buzzing – these shifts of perspective need to happen for they are signposts to insights we don’t normally see or feel.  Fog lifts…
We SEE what needs to change.
Acknowledge, accept, acclimate.

Know what you are setting fire to before you light the match.
Have patience. Think twice.
