Empress of the Sky Swallows Her Solar Paramour at the Final Hour

 

The Empress of the heavens veils her solar paramour and there shall be no light permitted, for a time.  On 04/20/2023, just after the clock strikes midnight, Lady Luna will begin to swallow the sun during a hybrid Solar Eclipse 12:12AM EDT at the anoretic 29th* degree 50’ of Aries, leaving only 10 minutes to spare in the presence of the ‘I AM’ in that CARDINAL sign.This is adding to the pressure cooker on planet earth.  Karma wants to finish business and so will many of you.  It may seem as if you just don’t have enough time, as the river turns into a deluge bringing all the debris of the past, including reminders of what needs to be done, and possibly regrets of what was said or done in the past.

You may sense the disturbing feeling, that something is just not right, out of alignment, or like you were that person who went into the basement in the movie with the title; ‘Don’t look in the basement’.

Because this eclipse is reaching for her soul’s purpose that is just a few degrees away at 04* TAUrus, as if to tease the new growth cycle of the sun and moon, with the earthly garden of delights, of VALUE, and promise, but the head of the dragon (north node of the moon/Rahu) is squaring off with that old dragon Pluto who is freshly flying in Aquarius at 00*, and ominously pushing the sun and moon into a corner. This forms a T'Square' , the TAU. Feel as though you are carrying a 'cross', or 'hemmed in'?

We may as well be the hobbits trying to run with the Arkenstone on gold coins cascading down and into the mouth of the waiting dragon.

In Aquarius, Pluto is uncomfortable, but stealthy as he glowers over the impatient duo in Aries, toying with them.

Lady Luna cloaks the suns brilliance, (Yes, from our perspective, but after all, this is all designed for us) just long enough for the sun to emerge following Luna in the soft landing of TAUrus, while Pluto is still cornering them both.

This can make you feel as though ‘you almost made it’, ‘if only you would have left sooner, started that project a little earlier, prepared more’.

Now, the decision becomes; ‘should you just give in’, or ‘is this the ground you will not give up, even if it means death’? (This does not have to be a physical death, and it can be the death of a business, relationship, or some direction that you turn from.)

Now of course, if you have planets in the early degrees of TAUrus, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Leo, OR the Cardinal signs, Aries/Libra and Capricorn/Cancer, especially the later degrees, you may wish you could find the valve to release just a little bit of pressure, just enough to help you not have a panic attack, or all the domino effects of stress, often where bad decisions are made that make matters worse.

The human condition is on display with all its fallible imperfections buzzing like a neon sign.

The fixed cross signs, may not believe they are in that vise again, when will this ever end?  On the other hand, some may have learned to let it roll off their backs like a duck, quacking into the cracks or just giving up.

‘FIXED’ means just that, these are not people known for bending like a willow, no sir.  Things are the way they are for a reason, now you just ask them, that’s the way it is and that is the ‘RIGHT WAY’. 

What, you didn’t know that?  Were you doing it the wrong way?

What they’re not telling you, is that they are probably tired too, they just don’t have more gas in the can and that FRIGHTENS THEM. THEY FEEL A RESPONSIBILITY.

Cardinal signs, Aries/Libra, Capricorn/Cancer, you’ve been through this dance with Pluto when he tripped through the mountainous terrain of Capricorn starting back in 2008.  Don’t you feel his hot breath coming closer again?

The pressure may ease up some, (maybe in a week or so) but this is going to increase into the full moon eclipse in Scorpio at 14* on 5/5 of 2023.

That is change, and not necessarily what any of us may want, but especially the fixed cross, who DOES NOT LIKE CHANGE.

The effects of this eclipse, will ripple long into fall, and the next October 14th Solar eclipse in Libra.

The thing is, we love the (fixed signs) for that, they make things permanent, so we don’t have to worry about them again.  They set things in stone.

With Mercury at 15* TAUrus conjoining a 17* Uranus in TAUrus, that will ELECTRIFY the GROUND, and can bring news of SYSTEMS for CURRENCY SHIFTING.

For some, the NEW THINGS COMING, COUNTRIES RISING, that is EXACTLY AS PLANNED FOR A VERY LONG TIME, for those of us who didn’t see this coming, this is a CHANGE THAT IS GONNA COME, and it may seem ‘out of the blue’.

They do form a softening sextile to Mars at 13* Cancer (which is conjunct the natal USA sun and squaring Vladimir Putin’s natal sun) so this may be a bargaining chip, it just may be that the US finds something up their sleeve, but it can also be in response to an aggressive action upon them.

By 12:30 AM the moon will ingress into TAUrus and working on that exact square to Pluto.  It will take the sun until just after 4AM on the 20th to follow Luna into TAUrus too.

Completing the karmic cycle, old souls in particular are going to feel this one.

I hear the Bee Gee’s: I've Gotta Get A Message To You (Mono) - YouTube

Prepare yourselves for more disclosure, information being revealed that can be deeply disturbing.

Saturn swimming with his fish tail at 4*PIsces is also forming an exact sextile to the head of the dragon at 4* TAUrus too, there are dreams that can burst into your consciousness so deeply now, screaming for the attention your subconscious is burying. 

It will take people really seeing through the now, very diaphanous veil, to be the true stewards of the new world of FREEDOM, to set us FREE and spread our spiritual wings to fly forward into the new world, the AGE OF AQUARIUS.

Rather, than the shadow side, which happens when people AVOID THE TRUTH, and only want to see ‘part’ of reality.  IGNORANCE IS NOT THE WAY TO SPREAD YOUR WINGS.

Pluto has been busy, REVEALING THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SCENES, IN ALL THE SYSTEMS.  ‘HIDDEN = PLUTO’ from the majority if not all, for thousands of years now.

As the serpent flies into Aquarius, he becomes the ‘winged serpent’ of WISDOM.

The KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.

This gateway eclipses out some old ‘masculine’ elements (not to be confused with males) and will help bring in some balance.

We have the opportunity to make the best of this window, to truly EVOLVE and tap into our own INSIDE JOB.  To meditate, to clear out the debris that occludes the light of our own souls.  To become our own ‘I AM’.
This is at the final degree of Aries, it is pushing the karma wheel and this will roll over any who don’t face their own darkness and try and make amends, to clear off the occlusions to the light of the world, that we can all illuminate the world together and end this darkness.

We will be born anew, the egg cracks open and we spread our wings and fly.

OR…

We Remain in the darkness and end up in a more difficult cycle from 2024-2030.  IT IS UP TO US.

Mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and PIsces, you have Saturn in PIsces at 4* as mentioned previously, Neptune is at 26* PIsces, where he has not been since 1860 as we mentioned in the last blog.

So, we are all navigating through the stargates we have not been through, for thousands of years, hundreds of years, these are major cycles.

That is DREAMING A NEW WORLD.

Venus is also at 10* Gemini, so the communication is timely, tell people how you feel from the HEART.  Venus and Saturn just were exactly trine to one another, and our DREAMS are animating and illustrating the WAY OF THE HEART.  LISTEN.  LISTEN TO YOUR HEART SONG AND KNOW THAT OTHERS HAVE THEIR HEART BEATING THAT DRUM TOO.

Mutables, it is time to implement that infrastructure that supports your DREAMS.

What do you want?  Soon, NOTHING WILL BE HOLDING YOU BACK.

Mercury will station retrograde on the 21^st, while Lady Luna has come up to visit and soothe him emotionally at the very same degree 15*, midway into TAUrus, and OUR VALUES.  What are your priorities?  Do you see how the brilliant architect, God designs this in a step-by-step process, allowing us all the opportunity to revisit, to change directions, to LEARN AND BECOME BETTER FOR IT.

All this seeds the cycle, in the dark moon, occluding the sun, to expand into the full moon, lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 5^th. REALIZATIONS.  

There is hope in the air, breathe into this hope, it will clear the skies of the darkness, that will dissipate in the light of truth.

Believe it.
I do.

Protective Mother Full UP Seeking Balance & Harmony in Libra

Lady Luna governess of the heavens, waxes into fullness just after midnight on April 6^th, at 12:34AM, EST.

She will be at 16*07’ minutes of Libra the scales, ILLUMINATING the LIGHT of the sun who is at, 16* Aries, conjoining a 15* Wounded Healer/Chiron and a 20* Jupiter in Aries.  What is Jupiter going to expand and bring bounty to? This will bring up old wounds, thoughts of the body, diet, and how we maintain ourselves or haven’t.
She wants harmony and balance, but feels the distress of MARtialing energy, Aries.

Mercury at 3* TAUrus is conjoining a 4* Head of the Dragon, Rahu adding to the thoughts about what we do for ourselves daily, what direction are we choosing or reflecting on the choices we have made and taking inventory of those decisions.  He asks us if we have found our Soul's purpose, do our words reflect what we think, value, and believe?  This is magnified by Venus at 24* TAUrus (which Venus rules) widely conjoining a 17* Uranus (they met up exactly on March 30^th at 16*, the uncomfortable quincunx to the full moon in Libra) so this energy is very fresh coming into this full moon.
Talk about the unexpected, and things happening at ‘Warp Speed’, there is plenty of volatility in the air, as our values and concern for what we ‘have’ and what is stable is being electrified. (Destabalized)
This includes the earth herself, the empress and as Venus is now tipping into the 6th house (ruled by Virgo) in the eastern chart, this also emphasizes the daily routine, and EARTH Changes.

Well, as it happens, the earth is rocking and rolling in all of this, with multiple larger earthquakes taking place (being mirrored/As Above/So Below), on the surface in the political world and for anyone sensitive or empathic to the ‘waves’ you will be feeling this ‘shaking’ and as ‘unrest’ or ‘shocking’ as Uranus is also being amplified with Pluto at 00* Aquarius squaring the nodes, the eclipse points of the FIXED CROSS, Scorpio, Aquarius, TAUrus, and Leo, can really be feeling an unnerving undercurrent of the shifting sands beneath them, depending on sensitivity and preparedness, but just that empathic resonance can be rattling the cages.  A foreboding feeling of what lies on the horizon.
Well, Pluto who rules what is ‘hidden’ and ‘below the surface’ is hitting the ‘air waves’ out of earthy Capricorn.  It’s like Smaug when he flies out of the cavernous depths of Lonely Mountain, where he’s been lording over his treasures has taken to the skies, blasting his fiery breath upon the frightened townspeople below in Lake Town, burning all the roofs until one single archer, (Bard) finds the weak spot the Thrush secretly told him about.
Listening to secrets, finding the weak spots, caves, buried treasures are all the domain of Pluto and his underworld. Recall how Bilbo didn't see Smaug yet, becoming enchanted and entranced himself with all the riches, sparkling around him, but he FELT HIS PRESENCE, Smaug's breath permeating the Lair, quickening Bilbo's heart.  That is the apt description of Pluto, you can FEEL his presence lurking about, rumbling around, but you CANNOT SEE HIM.  HE IS THE UNSEEN ONE.
It is also the perfect illustration of what happens to people who get too greedy, they turn into monsters, fire-breathing dragons, guarding their lair.  But they also become LONELY AS SMAUG.  (When you can have everything, nothing is enough.)  This in part, is why some people resort to tricking people into discomfort and instigating trouble and arguments, they want people to feel the anguish and war within them, that they themselves cannot quench.  That can only be done with the LIVING WATERS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Pluto now opposing Leo the Lion/Royalty/Leaders is like Smaug burning off the ‘Emperor’s Clothes’ that do not exist.  This can also make us sensitive to pride, especially ‘false pride’ and the fear can instigate the weaker aspects of the ego.

The last time Pluto was in Aquarius, was: April 4^th 1777 – Dec 26^th 1798, was when The Age of Enlightenment emerged (1685-1815 and beyond) both the American and French Revolution, The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (August 1791) The Bill of Rights (December 1791). (James Madison’s proposal for a U.S. Bill of Rights was introduced in New York in June 1789, 11 weeks before the French declaration.) All of this was the evolution of humankind, literally ‘waking up’ (The Great Awakening also took place during this very period) and deciding they would no longer be lead by Nobile born successions only, they defied the ‘Divine Right of Kings’.
In the newly created ‘New World’ of the US, this was called: ‘The Great Experiment’.  The question becomes now, what is the results of this ‘Great Experiment’ and have people become too seduced into the culture of greed, and lost their own way?  Smug/Smaug? Are the Living Waters drying up, leaving scorched earth, and nothing for the spirit that thirsts?  Can we return to the spirit, nourish her again, and learn how to not only steal the fire, but use it wisely?  That is EXACTLY WHAT THIS TIME IS ABOUT NOW.
It took Pluto 14 years in Aquarius, to really bring into fruition his leveling of Plutocracy, after he EXPOSED AND REVEALED TO MANKIND THE EMPEROR HAD NO CLOTHES, during his transit of Capricorn, this led to the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence, our own Constitution in 1776.

This is VULNERABILITY, matched equally by those who are ready to don their capes and the mantle of Daniel in the Lion’s Den, not bowing to fear but being forged in the fires, like Bard. 
When Pluto was in Capricorn, he was bringing up the oppositions between Matriarchy (Cancer) and Patriarchy (Capricorn/Hierarchy/Institutions), and these issues have been in place for over 6,000 years, now coming to the surface again to find some balance, some RE SOL UT ION.

In Native American mythology, the Thrush is considered a sacred bird. They are often seen as messengers of the gods and are believed to carry powerful messages from the spirit world. The Thrush is also associated with healing and rebirth.  (So is Pluto, he is death and rebirth/transformation and he is preparing us for our wings, ‘The Angel of Humans’ as the Aquarian symbol implies.)  The more underdeveloped your own wings are, the more you are going to feel his fires of transformation.  That means becoming FULLY HUMAN, GENUINE, AND REAL.  We’ve been telling you for a long time about building your infrastructure, the REAL DEAL, to cast your net into the waters above and pull in the starry light.

To help us, don't forget that other tip from Tolkien: The thrush then brings an old raven that can speak in the common tongue to let the others know that Smaug is dead.  “In northern Northwest Coast mythology, Raven is the powerful figure who transforms the world. Stories tell how Raven created the land, released the people from a cockle shell, and brought them fire. Raven stole the light and brought it out to light up the world. Yet Raven is a trickster—often selfish, hungry, and mischievous. He changes the world only by cleverly deceiving others in his never-ending quest for food.” Excerpt ~ https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/totems-to-turquoise/native-american-cosmology/raven-the-trickster

We see that Tolkien cleverly combines myths to tell a story, and like all good myths, seeps into the subconscious and REVEAL the deeper/hidden truth.  Like Prometheus, 'stealing fire' in this case, literally from the dragon, and through their Herculean Labours, they make the Hero's journey, face the dragon (inner daemons/daimon) and gain the medicine of TRANSFORMATION/ALCHEMY.
This is the only way to be reborn, and to rebirth, with newly formed wings, and fly.  Becoming fully spiritual, this is transcendence.  
Yesterday 4/4/2023 there were Tsunami warnings on the west coast.  So yeah, the earth is breaking open like an egg, giving birth to the PHOENIX that has been gestating for thousands upon thousands of years.
 

Now, Pluto’s new ingress into Aquarius, is fomenting a new shift, The Shift of the Ages.  What has not been transformed in the systems and hierarchies will become painfully evident, as the undergird/infrastructures that are brittle and corroded, collapse under the weight of FRESH AIR AND FIRE COMBUSTING.

This will have ramifications to the economy too, as we tried to let you know back in July of last year, the Petrodollar is in jeopardy.

“This may bring bad news regarding the Petro Dollar, as this squabble with Putin and his ruble and oil, may end up tipping the balance of powers even further, and this deeply disturbs me, for economic reasons that are too far reaching, to even begin to enumerate.” ~ excerpt 

Waking The Deep: The Head of the Dragon Swallows Mars While Uranus Throws Down Bolts of Lightening (arcoftheancients.blogspot.com)

The ’Petro Dollar’ is about trading oil in the currency of the dollar, and oil, is ruled by Pluto/Neptune.  It is the ‘Black Sun/Texas Tea’ as we have so often told you, he is the ‘false light’ buried in the abyss, thrown into the seas.

He is ANCIENT, ‘FOSSIL FUELS’, and many wars have been fought, DEATHS piling up and ‘buried’ in the earth again, all over this ANCIENT ONE.

https://arcoftheancients.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-black-sun.html

Lady Luna also is forming a very uncomfortable quincunx to Uranus while Venus is riding with Uranus and is the ruler of TAUrus, another destabilizing and unsettling aspect.  So don’t feel bad, try not to take it personally, even as Pluto breathes fire at Leo from his new perch in Aquarius.

Neptune is reaching the 26^th degree of PIsces, a position she hasn’t been at since 1860!!!
EXPOSURE

LEAD OR GET OUT OF THE WAY FOR THOSE WHO CAN SEE THE NEW WORLD OF AQUARIUS.  We are creating our own world of beliefs, do you WANT COOPERATION, A FAIR AND MORE BALANCED WORLD?  ACT LIKE IT.

This can be very vulnerable, try to keep this in mind, as TRIBALISM has infected the planet and is spreading like wildfire, helping Pluto/Smaug burn it all down.

This uncertainty can literally ‘freeze’ people, like rabbits in the headlights (Happy Passover and Easter, speaking of) and those old wounds, (Chiron) might be telling some people that ‘remember a past life when things went horribly wrong’. 
Some people will rise, and some will fall.  COUNT ON THIS.
The same for countries and where power is concentrated and controlling.

Hey, I am just the messenger.

Now, this is a full moon, but it ties into the upcoming new moon (SOLAR ECLIPSE) on April 20^th, in part because it is at 29* Aries, so it is within the cycle of Aries, and when this happens, that is the universe taking its time, but making sure to open up the dormant energy, ‘ECLIPSING’ out the old energy, of the ‘I AM’.  Though we have two more eclipses this year in the Fixed Signs.
This is the first eclipse in the Cardinal Signs, this is predominantly going to affect Aries/Libra axis, and by square, Cancer/Capricorn axis.

Pluto tried to burn all the dross off, but here we are with another shake-up, to MAKE YOU MOVE. 

The really good news?
We have some truly BENEFICIENT ASPECTS IN APRIL TOO!

"But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short." Mark 13:20

TAP INTO THESE POWERFUL ASPECTS, GET READY TO ROLL AWAY THE STONE!

THE STONE OF JACOB AND THE STONE TO THE ENTRANCEWAY TO JESUS, HE IS ROLLING IT AWAY, LET THE CHRISTED ENERGY POUR INTO YOUR LIFE, TAP IN, PRAY AND SEEK THE GOOD!

Mercury will station retrograde the following day (21^st) in the wee hours of the morning at 15* TAUrus, conjunct a 15* moon, and a 17* Uranus all of them in TAUrus the bull.
This will really shake things up again, and FORCE NEW BEGINNINGS, NEW VENTURES, while also making us take a step back at the same time.
This also premiers the energy of the year, when we will have many planets retrograde: Mercury (obviously) Venus, (We started the year with Mars still retrograde in Gemini, so thankfully we won’t experience Mars retrograde again this year), but Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will have retrograde motion this year.

Jupiter also making that conjunction to Uranus, did I mention that? ;) Yeah, THAT IS CHANGE AND TURBULENCE BUT WITH THE HELP OF HEAVEN, SO PRAY.

Feel the train cars trying to stop and smashing into each other?  (Bad analogy maybe, sorry, but this perfectly explains this energy and what to expect this year.)
Now, Mutable signs, I don’t mean to be leaving you out, and with Saturn in PIsces at 3* and forming that trine to Mars who is at 5* Cancer at the time of this full moon, this is dissolving those boundaries, loosening up the old ‘fixed belief’s’ especially regarding spirituality, especially with Neptune charging ahead at 26* PIsces, as mentioned before.

The EL-ement of Mercury, ruler of Gemini is liquid, and almost impossible to pick up, and this is a good analogy for how you may feel.  Trying to create boundaries, trying to keep out the incoming deluge from your ‘ordered/analytical’ world, especially in the case of Virgo’s, but ‘RESISTANCE IS FUTILE’ as they say.

On the other hand, it will actually corral some order if you keep your perspective in the HIGHER REALMS of NEPTUNE, which is an octave of Venus, so it is about deep, soul-stirring, L O V E.  SOUL LOVE.
