Thundering Wisdom

Posted on by

FullSizeRender 16Buddha Tarot, Robert Place

Last night I watched a great doco about Tibetan Buddhist Monks who are channelers for the great spiritual guides and deities of Buddhism.  
It was fascinating, so I’ll link it in the comments if you are curious.

Today’s question travels closely with our growing Uranus/ Pluto square over the coming months as well as Sun square Jupiter over the next two days.  

Q: What do buddhist spiritual guides wish us to know for best dealings with this aspect through my tarot deck ?

A:  Aksobhya is the rising sun of the east.  What is immovable and unshakeable about him is his trust and confidence.  His wisdom is direct from knowledge of The One, not theory.

All Buddhas represent love, but Aksobhya loves wisdom and philosophy.
He is seen performing the Victory mudra that Gautama used when he conquered Mara (Lord of Death).

His throne is supported by the strongest, wisest, kindest of animals – Elephants.  
His emblem is the vajra, the ancient thunder weapon of the gods.
This card represents Thinking, Confidence and Wisdom.
Mastery over thought will prove our best guide during this oncoming square.
Know when to speak – know when to listen.

Spirit Card: Crux of the sitch
The night of Siddhartha’s 29th birthday, full moon of the Wesak when he chose to leave his palace temple for good to seek his destiny.  

Over 547 lifetimes the Buddha purified himself and perfected the ten virtues:  generosity, morality, renunciation, intelligence, energy, patience, truthfulness, determination, benevolence and equanimity.

Note some of these are active/dynamic – not all are passive.  
These are called the Heroic Virtues.  
We need both passive/active virtues in order to be a whole spiritual being.

This card underlies the karmic lesson that we get what we give.
Only too often we give what we get. (for good or ill)

Know better – do better.
Break the endless cycles of karma.

Pure Energy

FullSizeRender 15Quantum Tarot

Q: How to best bridge the energy of the inner & outer planetary transits, the crux of dealing with the matter.

A: The answer is, not too surprisingly, Death.  

Be the change.  
Inner planets are our personal expression: Sun/spirit, Moon/feelings, Venus/love, Mars/anger.
As we move out into the solar system planets become more social.  
Saturn/work Jupiter/higher learning.
Then we move out to the slow-moving generational planets Uranus/global consciousness, Neptune/global subconscious, Pluto/global energy/kundalini.

Keep in mind outer planets are felt personally when jammed up next to a personal planet in the natal chart.  How well I know this – Sun/Uranus/Pluto.
 
Matter and antimatter particles meet and destroy each other in order for New particles to be created.  Ultimately the particles are changed rather than destroyed.
They have the same mass, but an opposite charge – when they meet they create Pure Energy.

Spiritual, mental, emotional and physical adaptation allows new growth in accordance with new circumstances.  Change is stressful, difficult, we drag our feet and resist due to fear.  We cling to what we know rather than letting go and facing the unknown.

Embrace change, for it will find you regardless.

FullSizeRender 14Secrets of the Necronomicon
Vampire Tarot

Q: Insight for all my readers…what evil lurks, what danger lies in the shadows of Mars/Pluto in Capricorn.

Mars/Pluto in Capricorn is men, Men, MEN as well as power, time, work and career and the power to work hard to achieve goals/climb your chosen mountain.
Note: both are square Uranus in Aries = radical shifts in perspectives – weird bolts from the blue and shocking insights.

A:
Knight of Cups – A young man who appears poised, calm on the outside – but on the inside is intense, seething with determination.  Those who keep their secrets well guarded, are crafty and subtle.  Ruthless ambition, single-minded devotion to one goal, and one goal alone.

Judging by the image, the possibility of abandoning goals in favor of pan-like drunken/love debauchery also exists.  Too much of anything is still too much – be it sun or shadow.  Material earth-bound lesson via Jupiter.

This potent, purpose-driven person can generate mistrust, dislike and jealousy.  This can obviously be you or someone else but it is likely both.

Wagon: This Chariot carries the undead.  Incredibly apt for Mars/Pluto in Capricorn. This card is forward movement up the mountain to the fortress through forces that oppose you.
This chariot is also escaping internal forces which create opposition within yourself.

Protecting life and death and love in the midst of forces that are often out of our control.  Or are they…?…not if you believe in Karma aka Saturn (rules Capricorn).
Self-control and restriction forced to the breaking point.  This also indicates home turf/ground which Dracula would take with him to ease his symptoms.

Metamorphosis and change factors heavily, as well as night hours and what happens to your energy with the cycles of the Sun/Moon.  Note also Dracula was a animagus who could spy undetected by hiding in another form.  Who is the spy ?  You or another ?  Again, likely both.

This card can represent an unexpected package, visitor – likely a man or something work or energy related.

The star is from the Magpie Oracle, created by Carrie Paris.
Even for the undead there remains a glimmer of hope.

Question: What would animals of the world like to tell humans so that we may collectively move into our highest most benevolent outcome ?

Answer: Time to make decisions & choose priorities.  New challenges means developing new tools, ways of thinking that suit the new sitch.

Bows wear out, arrows warp over time changing their accuracy.
They are no longer true.
Note Leo Jupiter T-Square focal point with Taurus Full Moon – Sun opposition.

Have faith in the next step – shared power & respect for all life.

Make it so.

Whisperings in the Wood

Posted on by

FullSizeRender 13Dark Goddess Tarot

Full Moon incoming in Taurus opposing Venus/Sun.
This card popped up when I asked what the Goddess (Venus) would have us know that we cannot see.  I asked for a card to enlighten us all.

Baba Yaga IX (Hermit)
Russian Witch of the Wood

Baba yaga has boney legs, iron teeth, a large distinctive nose and a house that follows her wherever she goes.
Sounds very Moonish/Cancerish yes ?  A shell of golden mean insights await us with this lunation, dive into the well of Venusian navel gazing.  (Venus rules the navel.)

As the Uranus Pluto square increases we are indeed called to re-examine bonds and contracts we make/made with others and also ourselves.  Wise council is indicated – be with your own power – the knowledge and wisdom that is your path alone.

Distractions and challenges are full of rewards for experience brings wisdom.
Trust your own momentum, Saturn need not bring stagnation but instead count on focus and determination.

Virtue, honesty and integrity are forest wild, the pure laws of Mother Nature rule here.  She is the wisest old crone of them all.

Follow your hearts intuition over authoritative dictates.
Show respect to the ancients (storm/mountains/stream/fire) and they will assist you in your journey.  Offerings to trees and wood are beneficial at this time.  Listen to the wind whispering through the trees…you will find your answer there.

peace & love

Primeval Creatives

Two questions today in regards to Mars conjunct Pluto both (calendar here) square Uranus as we move into a Full Taurus Moon and the 6th of 7 hits of Uranus square Pluto.

1: Stuck place
2: Giving Place

1: Insight (above) Introspection – Depth of Study and Vision 
We have plenty of Scorpio (Sun, Venus, Saturn) all set to reboot the system. Pluto (rules Scorpio) transforms from the inside out – add this to Jupiter square Saturn for focused creative insight.
Navel gazing coupled with knowing/gnawing your way through intensive work is the primo vibe at the moment.  Moon is in Aries until afternoon Wednesday (USA)  working actually feels very, very good.  Satisfying even.

2: AAH: Family of the Moon: Khnemu: To Build, to Unite
Khnemu is a water god associated with the source of the Nile in Elephantine.  He was known to guard the flood gates each year, the rising floods meant the rising of Sirius.

Khnemu is also known for creating the universe alongside Ptah, and is often pictured at a potter’s wheel.  Ptah created the earth and heavens while Khnemu created humans, animals and other living beings.  He created the gods and is called “the builder of men, the maker of gods and the Father who was the Beginning’.

In the card he is pictured with the crown of the South, two feathers, two uraei (sacred serpent) and a solar disk with ram’s heads, his most ancient symbol.  Four ram’s heads face the four directions, symbolize the four elements of creation. 

He was worshipped as the ram of Mendes – the virile male, the holy phallus which stirs up passions of love.  Ram’s horns obviously indicate Aries (Mars) and the springtime rush of energies projected outward.  In this way, Khnemu exists in all things, as the soul of the artist is in the sculpture and the soul of the potter in the pot.  This is the great primeval creative force.

The Giving Place rises in the powerful creative energies surging with this aspect.  Channelled wisely it is divine self-expression and successful execution of plans.
I mentioned Jupiter square Saturn for focus – also keep in mind Jupiter is loosely trine Uranus (7 degrees) which bestows great ingenuity.
Be cautious, but also clever.
