Magician on the Mountain

Mercury in Capricorn
Magician meets the Mountain.
Mind makes a Mark on the Material.

Mercury in Capricorn is focused, structured, it builds and fortifies.  This is air in earth therefore slower, more responsible and goal oriented on the material plane.  (Note Mercury rules wind instruments and small pets, Saturn aged stones.)

Where Mercury in Taurus thinks of their own comfort; Mercury in Virgo (earth) is duty bound to service within their community;  Mercury in Capricorn is determined to reach a broader public scope via the world at large.  This Mercury puts thinking and communicating to USE in socially responsible ways and means.  Mercury in the sign of Capricorn is serious and disciplined, tactful and conservative – here is a man/woman of few  but weighty words.

Mercury in Capricorn indicates diplomacy and justice with the written and spoken word – don’t be hasty !  In addition, this placement of Mercury tends towards melancholy due to the influence of Saturn (rules Capricorn) note also the tendency towards pessimism and severity.

This Mercury is capable of high qualities of concentration that more than makes up for the restrictive quality of Saturn’s influence.  This Mercury perseveres and will not give up, no matter how hard the climb.

Thinking positively and cultivating joy is of utmost importance or fear can set in and warp the circuits. Mercury in Capricorn can also reveal more than one career or work path, father figure or perhaps working with siblings.

Mercury is capable of genius multi-tasking, Saturn of much concentrative study.  This is quite a lovely pairing for writing and teaching as well as communicating and diplomacy.  Curiously, this Mercury placement feels old when they are young + feels young when they are old.
Mercury and Saturn rule youth and age, respectively.

sharpening the blade

I AM a Capricorn rising.
I call it being karmically hobbled from birth.  In my case, I truly was hobbled at birth (Saturn Rx) with hip dysplasia (Sagittarius rules hips).  I had to wear a contraption between my legs so I would to be able to walk as I grew older.  Luckily, (Sagittarius) I had a good doctor (12th house, healing) who fixed me, and set my bones properly (Saturn trine Mars).

My Saturn Rx (bones) is trine Mars in Sagittarius (can be a bit klutzy) from the 3rd (siblings) and I was trying to follow my older brother upstairs, when I crashed and broke my collar-bone.

I don’t remember either accident (Mars hidden in the 12th sign).
Even though I had a rocky start, I walk just fine now, thank you.

~~~~~~~~

Saturn rising means it will be a hard long climb up the mountain, with nothing coming easy and nothing free.  I not only have Saturn in its fall (Aries) but it is retrograde as well.
Having a chart ruler that is a backwards ass taskmaster, is not a lot of fun, I’ll tell ya straight UP.

Now that I am older my retrograde Saturn is beginning to work for me.   I am writing (Saturn in 3rd) about spiritual 12th house matters from a visionary, philosophical, Sagittarian viewpoint.  I like to explore theories and pitch wild ideas out there…

Saturn by transit is in my 9th (Sagittarian) house, so I am learning, writing, and doing charts.  My natal Libra Mercury is busy and trying very hard to find balance.   Saturn transit coming up to natal Mercury with Venus close behind means I am perfecting what I love, my craft.


Saturn-ruled Capricorn doesn’t lower the drawbridge for every caller.

Mars in Sagittarius Quintile Uranus doesn’t give a damn what you believe.
I KNOW what I have SEEN.

Saturn is the sharpening of the blade in my chart, it is the worm-hole of time.

Gravity control + transcendent thinking = crystal clear focus.

Mars in Sagittarius on the 12th is aiming towards evolution of the spiritual self.
It is stealth in the 12th.
It is Jedi.

plotting Pluto

Hello folks,
Lessons learned, Pluto-style are up to bat in today’s card reading.

You choose the meanings for each card as they relate to your personal Plutonic experience.
All intentions of this spread to bring the most benevolent insightful outcome for all…

Pluto direct                         Pluto retrograde                          Pluto direct

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pluto goes direct on 09.16.2011 in Capricorn at 4 degrees.
Check out which house Capricorn falls into in your chart for where your life will begin moving forward after the internal engines of transformation erupt forth new life.
(Retrograde is forcing inner metamorphosis, direct brings lessons from the depths to the surface)

This day is the vibration of 2.
Two = splitting the zygote, receptivity, union, sensitivity, duality, diplomacy and balance.

Fun times on the 16th as Venus opposes Uranus while Mars squares the Moon / Jupiter conjunction.
Luckily, Neptune is on the bench and a Grand Earth trine keeps things steady as she goes, Capt’n.

Here’s the card that gets to the bottom of things (underside of deck):


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
may your lessons learned give birth to a magnificent phoenix

Triple Capricorn

Posted on by

James Earl Jones, the multi- talented actor/speaker with the amazing voice is a triple Cap (Sun, Moon ASC all in Capricorn)  Saturn, his chart ruler [which… hee hee Star Wars fans… is the father  in the natal chart] is in the first house sandwiched between the Luminaries. (Sun and Moon)
Ahem–> all of the above conjunct Mercury (speech) trine Neptune (films).  Hello ! !
One of the most famous lines in the history of cinema ! 

The amazing thing is Mr. Jones overcame a debilitating childhood stutter to become a speaker renowned for his deep resounding voice and precise diction. For ten years he rarely spoke because of his stutter.  Reciting poems; then later an interest in theater and film became the creative vehicles to improving his speech.  Amazing !


Uranus is not only an unpredictable focal point of a massive T-square; it is also the higher octave of Mercury and part of a courageous Fire Trine which includes Mars (action) and Venus (art, vocalists).  North Node (purpose in life) is to get some Aries ram energy behind that 3rd house of speech communication.  Very cool !  Mr. Jones is a life path number 5, here to experience changes and challenges.
He has certainly risen to the occasion ~

Show ’em how it’s done Capricorn !
Right On !

May the Force be with You

The fulcrum

Posted on by

There is in each of us an ancient force that takes and an ancient force that gives. A man finds little difficulty facing that place within himself where the taking force dwells, but it’s almost impossible for him to see into the giving force without changing into something other than man. For a woman, the situation is reversed … The greatest peril to the Giver is the force that takes. The greatest peril to the Taker is the force that gives. It’s as easy to be overwhelmed by giving as by taking … I’m at the fulcrum … I cannot give without taking and I cannot take without giving…

Great line spoken by Paul Atreides, the Kwisatz Haderach from my favorite novel, Dune.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tonight Saturn is my fulcrum….and so is Neptune.
I am a Capricorn rising.  My chart ruler, Saturn rules my first house (where Mars is natural ruler).   Saturn is placed in Aries (which Mars rules) and is trine Mars in my 11th (natural house of Aquarius) and on the cusp of my 12th house sign, Sagittarius.

Neptune is also very strong in my chart, as are Uranus and Pluto.
I love science-fiction (Uranus rules science; Neptune, fiction) and anything dealing with time travel (Saturn rules time).
My Mars has excellent archer aim and tonight I was using it for long-distance healing.
Healers are ruled by Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, Virgos and the sixth house. 

Tonight, I have my magnetite close and know the moon is growing very close to full, so a good time to put forth strong healing intentions.
Blessed be to all my lovely readers~
