Repairs/Recycle/UPcycling ruled by Uranus
See 4 above
ala Freedom & Independence – very Uranian !
Note also (read below) Sonia is a trained scientist (video) which is ruled by Uranus.

When I was a kid, I spent most of my time running off into the woods out back, playing in the creek catching frogs and messing around in the mud and the muck.  Not a fan of Barbie.  Somehow I ended up with one ( ? ) and not surprisingly, she was prone to idiotic naked ditch dilemmas, crying for rescue from my Bionic Man/Woman or Star Trek action figures.

For the record: I do have a Venusian vibe: Libra at MC, Venus conjunct Jupiter in Leo, Moon in Taurus.  Yes to all things creative, artistic, harmonious, beautiful – but – strong earth placements deliver practical, healthy sensibilities.

I had to share this picture/video link here on GMA.  I love the simple pleasure Sonia and her mother create by upcycling children’s freakishly over glamourized dolls into toys vastly more realistic/healthy for kids.

Picture speaks volumes, yeah ? 
Here’s the video.

As an oddball sidenote: mannequins freak me right out.  Dolls are ruled by Venus and mine is an 8th house (death/creepy) Venus square Neptune (fakes).  I about jumped outta my skin once when I ran into an Iman mannequin locally.  I’m a Trekkie and a Bowie fan, so I immediately recognized her face, but I had no. idea. real people were used to fashion fake ones … until then.  eep.

The Voice.

If you want to study the astrology of singing look to Mercury and Taurus.  Mercury is air in the (Gemini) lungs, Taurus rules the throat.  Scorpio (opposite Taurus) is also worth noting as it is power (ruled by Pluto) opposite, therefore a give and take/unit.

Voice aspects have always been a subject of interest, as I have Moon in Taurus, a Virgo stellium and Libra Mercury at Midheaven.  I love to sing, and sounds directly influence my state/peace of mind.  The most intelligent, interesting lecture in the world would have trouble sinking in if I had to listen to a whiney, grating voice throughout.
It is what it is…just one of my quirks. 
Now onto the astrology of voice.

Clear voice: Sun, Mercury, Venus well aspected, on the angles
Deep voice: Saturn highly aspected (esp in women) afflictions to Mercury, Venus
Fluency: expressive dexterity corresponds with 7 degrees Capricorn/Pisces
Rumbling, course voice: afflictions to Scorpio; Saturn in hard aspect to Taurus/Libra or Venus, also in hard aspect to Mercury
Gifted: Venus or Mercury in Taurus, 2nd house; Air signs on cusp of 2nd
Melodious: Venus (Taurus/Libra) on the angles (esp with Mercury) and well aspected
Vocal control/tone: strongest at 16 degrees Taurus/Scorpio; 17 degrees Aries/Libra
Voice strain: Uranus or Saturn in hard aspect to Mercury, Venus, Taurus or Air signs

Factoids:
The larynx is said to build its power from the sexual nature of the Scorpio axis – the sex drive kicks in with the deepening of the male voice in puberty.  For this reason hard aspects (restriction) of Taurus/Scorpio will manifest in a high pitched voice in men; a low voice in women. 
Venus and Mercury strong with benefics can compensate for hard aspects to Taurus.

It is wise to remember that any contact is an exchange of energy a square or opposition can be stronger than a trine when solved – aka worked properly, honed to your highest expression of it.

:::I’ll toss a few names & deets:::

Loving the Cutting Edges

Venus in Aquarius
Venus in fixed air sign Aquarius is a bubbly, quirky, Venus – buzzing with bohemian perspectives on art, love, friendship, partnerships of all kinds.

Venus here attracts equally as often as she separates due to the influence of Uranus which rules Aquarius.
This Venus is born and bred into a life of innovation and change – they hook up connections between others – they are uncannily perceptive electrical conduits between people  – artistic and intellectual ideas come in a flash.

Venus in Aquarius understands chaos IS harmony, revels in it.  Balance to this Venus is a dance of fluctuations – common sense dictates life and love are eccentric. Venus in Aquarius relationships are fixed and stable, yet need lots of air and space to grow wildly and free.

Venus and her relationship with money is just as strongly progressive in this placement.  Money is a means to an end – more funds means more experience across the globe.  This Venus is also keenly aware of the plight of those less fortunate and will quietly, kindly, lend a hand of support, either by volunteering, donations or direct involvement.

This Venus is loving and kind, but somewhat distant due to their tendency to be in their heads intellectualizing love.  They know they love you, think you should also know this without constant declarations, gifts.

This sign does well with innovative communicative relationships – sharing ideas of love, making mutual needs known is the key to unlocking this placement.  Also have plenty of free time of your own to develop your work and goals – show your Venus Aquarius you are the cutting edge as well.

cloudberry

Rubus Villosus/Rubus Fructicosus (Blackberry)
Feminine, Venus, water.
 Also known as: Bramble-Kite, Cloudberry, Dewberry, Thimbleberry

Astrological:  Primary: Libra, Taurus
Secondary: Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio

God: Lugh  God of Light, the Harvest, All – Skills, August festival Lughnasa is in his honor.
Goddess: Brigit   Goddess of the fires of inspiration, healing, divination and smithing.
Lugh and Brigit are patrons of arts and crafts.

Blackberry fruit contain vast amounts of anthocyanocides, which are found in the pigment that gives the berries their color. Anthocyanocides are powerful antioxidants that help to reverse cell damage caused by free radicals, and are reported to be instrumental in preventing heart disease, cancer and strokes.

Blackberries can be used as an astringent or tonic: infusing the leaves in warm water will help rid the kidneys of stones, the fruit is good for the the gastrointestinal tract, and the root has strong astringent properties.

The blackberry stimulates and awakens love and sweetness.

The thorns and brambles of this plant teach that patience and persistence will eventually bear sweet fruit.  Blackberry enhances forgiveness that comes over time and with loving efforts. 

Blackberry is very helpful to enhance quieter states of meditation, it calms the anxious mind and teaches a patient path to enlightenment.  It also counteracts the Libran tendency towards indecision and procrastination. It increases the formation of goals into action via willpower.

The 3rd, Manipura, (solar plexus) chakra is strengthened, along with the bladder.

When there is any difficulty with the planet Saturn, even if it is only a hard aspect with the fast-moving moon, blackberry will help.

The blackberry helps to increase patience, and it eases the onset of age on the physical plane, while also enhancing the spiritual and astral bodies.

Tonight’s fortune cookies are spot – on !

Sun, (coming up to exact conjunction with ) Saturn conjunct Mercury in the last degree of Libra which is conjunct Venus in Scorpio.  Mercury in the last degrees can be the overflowing cup of communication, so be mindful of your thoughts and speech.
Restriction and what others are doing is on the mind and in the heart now.  Keep the faith and stay positive, define your goals.

This stellium of energies is in opposition to the energies of Moon which just entered Taurus and is approaching Jupiter. Moon opposition will pass quickly, while the Mercury and Venus opposition to Jupiter will last longer.
The combined energies of the stellium and Moon/Jupiter are both square Pluto.   Steady as she goes~

Adaptation, improvisation. – Morphius

Disseminating Toro moon spreads seeds of knowledge gained at the full moon.  Toro moon is patient, steady and likes peaceful surroundings.  Enjoy the break before it lands in restless Gemini…

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.
