Making Waves

Posted on by

We have a lovely Pisces (Neptune rules) Moon (feelings, public) conjunct chiron (healer) and Neptune (oceans).
Moon and Neptune both trine (harmony) Mercury (messenger of the gods) and Venus (love).
Neptune (oceans) trine Saturn (conservation).

I was cruising Radiohead info and found this great site Project Oceans.

I love it that Radiohead is so incredibly environmentally active – refusing to jet across the globe to play in a television studio – they dial it in – pointedly explaining why to do otherwise is ludicrous.
oh yeah baby I dig you.  My Saturn has a crush on your Saturn. 

Obviously, I’m not done talking about how great Thom Yorke (click here for more Thom) is, so pull up a seat Radioheads..!
Thom has Mercury, Venus and Neptune in Scorpio.  Intense and powerfully perceptive, he is able to read the collective pulse (Mercury, Neptune, Venus in Scorp) of unconscious human need (Mercury opp Moon) and forge (Pluto rules Scorp) new tools for building a more environmentally (Saturn conjunct Moon) sound future for us all.

That Virgo stellium is a powerhouse !
Virgos appreciate life in all its forms.  They see the web of life, the sacred patterns present from the micro to the macro scale.  They are earthy healers here to serve and protect.

Thom has Virgo Mars (desires, action), Jupiter (hope, philosophy) conjunct Pluto (the big game-changer, regeneration) and Uranus (the wild and free).  He is progressive and pioneering, a leader in the environmental movement from a musicians standpoint.  The band has taken solid steps to cut the amount of carbon emissions they produce during touring, as well as backing ecowatch groups and artists programs raising awareness on global warming.

Thom has Libra Sun (balance) opposite Aries Moon which is conjunct Saturn (Earth).  Moon and Saturn have a Mars flavor which brings a militant attitude toward finding balance with the public (Moon) and Earth (Saturn).

Libra Sun opposite Aries Moon conjunct Saturn – all are in Cardinal signs – they are initiating plans of action and making waves.

Thom is a number 5 life path, and has a 5 Sun.
5= Change, flux and adjustment
His Moon is 7 = Divine order, the mystical, a turning point.
Sevens are the triumph of spirit over matter.

Spirit (Sun) in the sign of balance (Libra) using art and music (Venus rules) to shine a reflection toward the masses (Moon) of what humankind is unconsciously doing to our (Mother, Moon) planet (Saturn, Earth).

I’m glad you were born to spin around on the planet with us, thank you.

Saturn incense is smoking up the room, candles are lit, music playing.
This one goes out to those with Saturn Rx (retrograde) in Aries; North Node of destiny in Aries.

According to the books, Saturn in Aries falls, pessimistic bastards may as well say fails.  They say the default setting of Saturn is to restrict, to limit, basically to stop. Saturn is terra firma and crystallization.  Eh, they’re half right.

When Saturn is in the sign of Aries, which is ruled by Mars, the planet of getting things done, kicking your life into gear seems damn near impossible some days.  Stubborn jackass Saturn is diggin’ in for the long haul no matter how hard Mars pulls at the reins.  You may be awhile, pack a lunch.

Saturn rules time – it is the planet of testing, perfecting, concentration and discipline.  It is justice, thrift and preservation, and patience.

Mars needs running, fighting, blowing stuff up and is impulse on fire NOW !
NO WAITING !!

Saturn Rx in Aries is restriction, testing and perfection turned inward on the self.   It turns the extroverted Mars power into introverted power, anger and aggression. 
It becomes a driving need to JUST DO IT perfectly.
The first time – no waiting !

Retrograde Saturn serves to temper action, perfect and streamline it.  When Saturn governs the self will, Mars is practiced, perfected, and efficient before its action will be allowed to manifest outward.  Saturn is where you perfect the house energies; Saturn Rx is where you perfect the house energies to the point of over compensation.

Saturnian self-doubt and insecurity can slow the energies of planets it contacts, or the house in which it is placed.  Although, it is often where you are extremely capable, insanely talented and precise yet remain unaware of it.

I was surprised to hear Thom at the end of this video asking for validation, let’s face it- he’s a musical genius.  We both have Aries Saturn Rx, so I get it, the need for validation, for outside opinion.  Perfectionism is also running high in his chart with a Virgo stellium: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto.   Yeah, check. Get that too. 

North Node of Destiny in Aries indicates a person who will create a life path of developing self awareness, independence and leadership.
It is a path of making decisions, taking control and blazing new trails.

Happy Birthday Thom !
You are amazingly talented with the voice of an angel…I am under your spell.

purple haze

Posted on by

A friend of mine once told me he could tell I was in a good mood because he could see purple lights around me.

He was a cool guy…quiet…known for being pretty zen (he showed up as Gandhi one Halloween), so not too surprised he could see my aura.

In the right light I can see a faint haze of color around people, and Ravi Shankar had an aura I could see plain as day.

Kirlian photography , also called corona (aura) discharge, is a high voltage, contact print photography. The process is simple. Sheet film is placed on top of a metal plate, called the discharge or film plate. The object to photograph is placed on top of the film when High voltage is applied to the plate momentarily to make an exposure. The corona discharge between the object and discharge plate passes through and is recorded onto the film.  When the film is developed you have a Kirlian photograph of the object.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Interesting isn’t it, that the organic mushroom looks much more lively and healthy ?!  Raw foodies won’t be shocked to see raw uncooked veggies seem to have the best auras.
It was also noted that where an amputated finger had been removed, the aura of the missing finger still showed up in the photo.  This lead me to a fascinating article by Rupert Sheldrake concerning phantom or amputated limbs still having a connection with the physical body.

I recently had a computer reading that is called Aura photography, but is more a bio-scan of stress levels.  It will shoot out a color report of your ‘aura’ – complete with graphs and scales of how active each chakra in your body is.
I had a few bucks to blow, and I was curious to see what was up.
What- are you kidding me- ?!  If it’s weird, I’m in !  lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So of course, I had to experiment with some crystals and stones in the photo to see if it changed anything.
I am holding a very clear blue fluorite and a lodestone (bottom left), which changed the intensity of color a bit.

I intentionally fuzzed out the pic so the colors are the focus, so to speak.
(Snowy Owl mask for Pluto transiting my 1st…)

It appears I have a high-frequency aqua-marine aura.
A scored of about 90 out of 100, meaning my aura travels farther than most.  Maybe you have seen it out & about…?
50 on root chakra, 60 in sacral, 80 solar plexis, 90 heart, 95 throat, 95 third eye, 90 crown.
Primary colors: blue = depth, green = manifestation
I am drawn to blue and green stones, Neptune (blue) squares to Leo (heart, green)  I feel they fortify me somehow, it’s hard to explain, but they feel good.
Recently I grabbed a pyrite for a few days when I needed grounding, (it is carved in a heart shape-ha irony !) and it was soothing. Keep in mind Saturn (rules rocks, earth) rules my chart.
Despite the fact that I am full of earth, I am constantly trying to guide my Neptune, so I keep crystals all over me and my house and I feel it helps.

I am also glugging quite a lot of my homemade clematis essence (helps to ground dreams into reality) that I specially harvested during the last Pisces full moon.

Aquamarine aura means compassionate, peaceful nature, easy flowing relationships.
Giant Neptuner ? ~ bingo!
Also of note with further reading I see it is the color most indicative of polarities.  This I find very interesting, as I have been told by an intuitive that I AM here to learn about polarities.  That lodestone I am holding in the pic – magnetic.
My Uranus is oriental, conjunct Sun and Uranus rules magnetics and polarities.
My Mercury is at Mid-heaven and Mercury is dualistic.
Trickster/messenger.

What color is your aura ?

Saturn rules spiders, they build.

I am careful not to destruct their webs while walking through my yard.
I just sit and watch them spin, they fascinate me.
Building.  Always building.  Work, work and more work.

Spider, my yard

Spinning all sorts of webs, not just orbs like you see pasted up in Halloween windows,  but funnels and string lines with lassos, all sorts of designs to suit the purpose.
I wonder how many webs a spider spins during their life ?  How many times does their masterpiece get wrecked to the point it is better to leave it and start over on another one ?
Pluto is wrecking ball my Saturn right now.


Asheville, NC artist.  Please, forgive, too many years ago to remember.

Neptune is opposing my Venus Jupiter conjunction in the 8th, and I want to build art.
I want the materials and tools (Mars) in my hands.  (Saturn in Aries 3rd, trine Mars in Sag)
I love to work with my hands (Gemini 6th).  I love leatherwork.  (Saturn rules me and leather)  I love the way it smells and the way the wrinkles in the hide feel underneath my fingertips when I lace it with sinew.  (Toro Moon 4th)

Gneiss Moon

It’s dead, and I’m Plutonic.
Skulls, bones, feathers, hides, skins, rocks, crystals, quills, furs, twigs and sticks, axes and arrowheads are all over my place.  Death is a part of life.  I get the feng shui, and I practice it my way.  The dead stuff stays.

I’m pretty Uranian too with Neptune waterfalling all over my chart from the 11th and Uranus/Pluto conjunct Sun in the 9th.

I’m self – taught in many areas, I prefer it to classes, tests and schedules.
What I want to learn, no school around here teaches anyway.

Lone wolf.

I’ve been happily exploring my new tarot deck and have done a reading for us !
A pre – during – post Venus conjunct Saturn reading.

Venus gives Saturn a big wet kiss at 6:48 CST USA, Thursday 29th.
*mmmwah*
Libra finds creative Venus in the sign she rules, on the lap of sure and steady Saturn who is exalted in the sign of balance.

Love, a dash of charm, (Venus) coupled with wit (Mercury) and radiance (Sun) all in Libra, means earthy, sensuous Pan (Saturn) is gonna get busy with Venus real quick !
This is great astro for working out the kinks in all relationships, so use it or lose it !  (Capricorn motto- Saturn rules- I use.) 

Fallen Angel deck
~~~~~~~~~~~
Pre:  53 amdusias  (harmony, planet- Venus, element-air)

During: 2 agares (strength, turmoil, planet-Venus, element-fire)

Beware of taking shortcuts by cheating, lying or stealing for the gambling gods will abandon you in the end when justice catches up with you.

root of the root

Posted on by

Hello fine people- today’s reading for insight from The Psychic Tarot by John Holland.

Past:  Illumination, truth, time for you to shine- very positive card.

Present:  5 mental card speaks of change, learning, how situations are handled.  Be sensitive to your own energies and those of others.  Choose your battles.  Stay or go, fight or flight ?

Future:  Base or root chakra:  This chakra is most closely related to earthy issues.  It points to the basics of survival and stability, or remaining rooted in the physical.  Root chakra represents those issues involving Saturn, sex drive and fear.  Root chakra is primal.

Spirit card:  5 emotions card speaks of emotional loss, the heart heals and becomes stronger through new wisdom and knowledge.  Focus on the positive, what is left to be grateful for rather than steep in what is lost.

sharpening the blade

Posted on by

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.
