Bending the Rules

Posted on by

FullSizeRenderSherlock Holmes Tarot

Investigations on Pluto in Capricorn square North and South Nodes of Destiny aka Future/Past and the metamorphosis inherent within making choices heading into Mercury Rx.  
What do we need to know that will lead us to our conclusion ?  
(Note: South Node is conjunct Uranus)

Peeler: Suit of Analysis
Kindness and sympathies aroused while deception takes place. (Lady Hilda has used fainting as a ploy to steal documents on the sly !)  This card points to a champion willing to bend rather than break in order to reach a harmonious outcome.
Bending the (Capricorn) rules to suit the sitch.  Analysis re: a merger or union. Guile and cunning permeate the Plutonic situation, no surprise if you understand the workings of sleuth, stealth and metamorphosis.

Be on the alert for illusion, deception and treachery.  Be choosy in what is revealed, also what is believed.

Sub Atomic Knowing

Crop Circle Resonance Cards are founded on the sacred geometries and harmonic laws of sound.  Frequencies and harmonics inherent in the designs are capable of influencing the human vibratory field down to the sub-atomic level, because DNA is also based on geometric structure. 

Crop circles carry electromagnetic fields, Uranus rules.  This card has been chosen in the highest interests of healing for all my readers,  I chose with positive intent, highest healing to help move us into our future in harmonious alignment.

How the symbol heals You is up to You, only you know.
Again, Uranus: rules knowing.

Much more in GMA archives re: sacred geometry here.  Four here.

Doozy of a full Moon is throbbing away behind us with Mercury nearly on Venus in Aquarius and Mars also in Aquarius while the ruler of Aquarius, Uranus is on the Dragon’s Tail, aka: South Node.  Uranus also square Pluto after that big emo moon is shedding and re-invigorating – simultaneously.

We now head toward disseminating moon (also a Crazy Ivan style void moon) and that means processing what went down at full.  (Or UP ?)  Go easy, take your time – Uranus will bring you what you need when you least expect it.

Second Sight

FullSizeRenderElemental Tarot

Insight into healing for all in tandem with current dark moon astro energies, scroll down to former posts for deets.

Matasignais = the moon in autumn.

Daughter of water = receptivity, clairvoyance, fantasy and heightened imagination.  A vulnerable adolescent girl full of dreams and visions who is awakening to sexuality.

Blood & Water.

What I love most about this card is the intellectual/emotional elements combined aka Moon (now emo, dark and very yin) conjunct Uranus the inventor/enlightener lightning bolt of a new world cracking open below and within us.

Uranus direct on the 21st –
Ozone crack of electric messages incoming.  Surprises abound, perspective shifts are prolific !

FullSizeRender 5Njord = Goddess of Sea and Ship

Twilight time of truth.
Dark Moon coupled with rigidity.
This is navel gazing at it’s finest !
Plutonic abyss in tandem with Venusian balance = the loving metamorph.

This snake has dual potential: poison or pleasure.
Venus conjunct Pluto is choice.
Loss but also Gain.

Pluto conjunct Venus in structured Capricorn, Mercury also in Capricorn with Sun on the way with New Moon in Capricorn at zero degrees.  

Ahem.
Plutonic degree !
Zero is a doorway, a portal, an empty vessel holding space, the Alpha and the Omega, the breath of God.
Void & Nirvana

Note this card is the vibration of Neptune & Pluto.  Wildly magnetic and full of secretive stealth.
This is a calm and a storm.
The Eye.
The disc of the Moon holds the eye of self-knowledge and inner vision.
Second sight.

The Eye

FullSizeRender 4Thoth

Contemplation of Venus conjunct Pluto 3 degrees of separation, or if you are like me with an 8th house Venus (Scorpio/Pluto is natural 8th house) we are at perpetual zero, full immersion.

Venus in Scorpio/conjunct Pluto/8th house is not for the faint of heart – Fair Warning.

This queen is water of water – psychic perception, psychological depth and packing a plethora of passions.  This one is unafraid of feelings, she is fond of provoking with a firm hand – she is magnificent with mystery and manipulation. 

Still waters run deep and mystical, she is receptive and reflective, infinitely subtle – the pure lotus of calm, the eye of the storm born from the defiled.  

FullSizeRender 3Spirit message

Reborn is the star-goddess of unlimited possibility – she wrestles with material plane points of view.  The eternal coming and going of energies in motion and play.  Born of Fire.

Final decision in respect of the past, new current in respect of the future; always represents the taking of a definite step.

Benefits & Gratitude

Posted on by

imageMary El Tarot

Apologies, slowing in posts as my mother (Moon) was having surgery. (All is well, thank you.)  Of course we are heading into a Gemini Full Moon, Mars in now in Aquarius, Uranus Pluto square :exact: grows stronger (15th, more here) and Saturn is in the last degrees of Scorpio aka saturation.

Mars supports early degrees fire sign points – they feel a big boost in energy while Saturn grinds away/tests the last degrees of all fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius increasing the friction.  Full Moon Messeges are all over the shop: breathe deeply, take in more info, breathe out.  Gemini rules the lungs – focus on the breath helps calm all the nervous energy buzzing round.

The card above was drawn for the changing energies listed above.
Identify, investigate, integrate.
Highest most benevolent outcome for everyone.

The crucible of reconciled halves.
This card is based on Baphomet by Eliphas Levi.
Hermaphrodite twins, caduceus, light and dark moons.
 Facing the inner animal nature can be the truest test for it is only YOU left to bless or to blame YOURSELF.  Squares inherently hold this energy for they take place on the inner landscape – they are inner friction leading to massive changes/growth – when handled correctly they can be more powerful than trines !

The artist notes a lesson via Joseph Campbell:
If you cross a threshold and are not ready, the gods will appear as devils.
True.

This card represents realizing how to integrate all the elements: Fire, Earth, Air, Water.
Knowing and working with all the elements present in our world/vibration creates a balance in the natural order of life.

Layers of conscious/subconscious are meeting each other toe to toe/eyeball to eyeball with many planetary energies changing signs, elements and vibrations.  Saturn in the last degrees of Scorpio digs especially deep into the mines revealing what is buried and needs to be purified. Keep in mind Saturn in Scorpio is also in supportive mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn – they are in each other’s (ruling) signs working together, assisting each other.

All manner of past, time, fathers, authority and demolition/rebuilding are taking place within and without.  Much of this metamorphosis is tangible, visible on  the material plane – though be aware – much is also hidden.

This card represents the inner wild animal meeting the inner tamed human – the alchemy that inherently exists within, the kundalini force of power that begins in the root and ascends.  Such is the material plane, life on earth school, lessons of contrast and the reconciliation of opposites

This card indicates swift fulfillment of material world gain/lessons.  Reaping benefits and gratitude for same.  Discernment, discretion, discipline, self-mastery and self-reliance.
This card carries the vibration of NINE.

Dance of Destiny

Posted on by

under_the_mountain_by_balance_sheet-d5yio79-1Steve Hamilton

Seventeen degree Mars is square both North and South Node of Destiny.
Much more on the Nodes of the Moon here.

Mars is exalted in Capricorn, going great gusto (even if behind the scenes on a waning moon in Libra) driving the engines of our lives with personal power and desire to not only live – but also thrive.

Traditionally North Node of Destiny in the natal is where we are headed, it is Jupiter in nature of expression, we learn new things on the ever-expansive learning curve.  South Node of Destiny is where we are living repetition, it is the well-worn path of been there, done that, it seems stagnant and predictable, more Saturn in nature of expression.

While we watch Nodes of the Moon traverse the wheel in our lives, they indicate where the current phase of expansion is indicated.  North Node is in Libra, interp here.

What I find interesting is that Mars is not only charring away exalted in Capricorn, but also rules the Aries South Node.
Venus rules the North Node where Saturn (past experience/diplomacy) is exalted.

This speaks of the desire to finish past work on the emotional home front (Moon).  Love and money balance/trades, releasing the past and working toward the future.
We want it now !
There is work to be done – find/build the balance you seek.  Finish the old, take what you need to create a better future and move on.
The past only defines you as much as you let it.
You define you.
Every single moment holds a new chance.

FullSizeRender 2Madame Endora’s Fortune Cards

Here is the card I drew to lead us into our future…an item that has deep significance and is worn as protection in spiritual matters.  Claim your talisman, send it energy, keep it close day and night, it will become stronger with you.

Mars in square to Destiny’s calling equals creative tension between past/now/future.  It also indicates rock hard determination and endurance over the long haul.  
Easing the friction is the only way we truly grow.  Trines, sextiles are grease to the wheel – but the hard aspects like squares and difficult conjunctions really make us sweat the labor, get it done.

No matter what has happened in your past, gather your hopes and dreams for the future and get to work on achieving them today Mars is behind you all the way !

Hands-on Healing

Posted on by

imageMary-El Tarot

Upcoming Chiron direct has led me to dig a little deeper into healing. 
Good healers tend to have the Sun in a fire sign or Scorpio.  Uranus and Neptune strong indicate absent or faith healing, the kind of healing used in reiki attunements across time and space.

Naturopaths are strong in Virgo and Scorpio, they tend to have natal charts that show adaptability and magnetism.  Magnetic healers tend to have Scorpio strong at birth, with Sun or Rising, or Neptune in good aspect to Venus and Mercury, Jupiter trine Moon, or Mars in the 12th in good aspect.  Also note hands are Mercury ruled.

Symptoms of the ill often fluctuate with the magnetics of both the body and the earth, worsening at night when the Moon (feeling) is the stronger luminary force.  Also because healing often is taking place with the assistance of another, know that those with harmonious rising signs/6th house/Saturn aspects will indicate compatibility and therefore, greater healing exchange.  The energies will support one another, allowing greater trust, energy exchange and speedier healing to occur.

I drew a card with the question:
What need we know to help us heal with Chiron’s direct motion ?

We must free ourselves from the prisons of our own minds.  The reverberations of doubt that echo must be shaken.  Change your perspective, see your situation from a different vantage point.  Perception shifts will open the door to knowledge that will change you forever.  Keep your eyes on the outcome, not the distractions that slow your progress.  Know thyself.  Be true to your brave heart.
Chiron moves in square to Sagittarius Venus, quincunx Uranus in Aries.  Higher seeing experience/knowing meets fresh new mindsets ala Aries.  Be the change.

imageNext question:
Easier said that done.  How do we begin to go about it?

Know their are wheels within wheels of Fire.  Creation, destruction, transformative power manifested on the material plane so we may experience and grow. This is the hero’s journey we call life.  Inspiration, sweat, blood and tears that form and shape the energy of our souls. We live, we learn.
Rise above everything, see the world from a divine perspective.  This is you and your life: falling on occasion, once again rising to meet your destiny, your true greatness.

Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars.
Serbian proverb

Just keep swimming

Self possession

Neptune direct at 4 Pisces November 16, interp here on Tide Turns.

I found it curious that the best time to hypnotize someone is an Air Moon – particularly an Aquarius Moon.  It’s an intellectual moon, mind over matter/mindset.  Interesting, yes ?

What makes a subject easily hypnotized ?
Neptune.
Not too surprising is it ?  
Easily swayed like the tides, emotional and permeable, Neptune is hard to get a handle on, hidden in fog, smoke and mirrors.  Deception and illusion and/or the creatively inspired artist.
Tortured…?…well, that’s optional.

Those who are easily hypnotized show Negative Yin signs strong in the natal.
Negative signs are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces.
Strong negative = Ascendant, Midheaven, angles, holding luminaries and/or Mercury.

Those who are easily hypnotized have Neptune in hard aspect aka conjunct/square luminaries or personal planets showing inner conflict resolution, great build up of tension/release.

This hard Neptune is particularly dangerous for those with afflicted Neptune at ASC or in the 6th, 8th, 10th or 12th.  Be cautious of water, emotions, qi vamps, hypnosis or dabbling in the occult without the good sense to back it up.

Think about these things as Neptune stations direct, for at this time more than any other, there is vulnerability – seeing around corners requires several perspective shifts and/or intense divination sessions.
Familiar.

FullSizeRenderOracle of the Radiant Sun

This card I drew specifically for Neptune direct – to see behind the veil, around the corner and through to the heart of the matter.

Q: What do we need to know about Neptune direct that we cannot see ? 

A: Defense of what is valued.  
Think love, money, power and personal zen.
Stuff and things are Taurus, love and emotions are Venus which rules Taurus.

Bull-headed stubborn ownership of personal place on earth, wherever or whomever that is/or you consider it to be.
Is home four walls and a roof (TWD ref haha) or is home where the heart is ?
Or have you given up on love and chosen career instead ?
Work to defend and protect what you truly value.
Only you know.

Look to your natal Venus (lower octave of Neptune) for clues.
Also note that Venus moves into Sagittarius soon after Neptune stations direct (click Tide Turns above) and that means Scorpion possessiveness gives up the ghost for more adventurous travels.

Late Venus Scorpio is richly saturated in sexual power, self-possession aka internal metamorphosis.
Make it work !

Look also to your natal Taurus house as well as natal Mars.
Note also Mars is in Capricorn, an earthy achievement sign which considers itself for good reason to be the Big Kahuna.  Mars is exalted in the sign of work, career and achievement.
