New Moon in Virgo Gives Us a Royal Coat of Arms

New Moon In Virgo gives us a Royal Coat of Arms

Lady Luna glides up to her solar paramour on September 14^th at 9:39PM EDT when they are both at 21*58’ of Virgo.  They will give us that EARTHY push into fall on September 23^rd at 2:50AM EDT.

Sabian Symbol: A royal coat of arms. 21*58’ Virgo

Since we’ve been working on VALUES for the entire year, we finally start to strike gold, autumnal gold that brings us our ROYALTY, again we are reminded of our CROWNING ACHIEVEMENTS.   And we also see that another new variant of Corona19 is spreading fear again.  Don your own ROYAL COAT OF ARMS TO PROTECT YOU. 

This can make us feel good about ourselves, after all that work, discernment, if you’ve done an honest review, you will now reap some rewards.

Here, we seed our NEW EARTH, in Virgo’s ‘RE-SOURCERING’ MASTERY, as we enter the MAGICAL TIME OF IN BETWEEN, THE LIMINAL NUMINOUS.

DIVINITY

Here we can plant our VISIONS to CREATE what is NOT HERE YET.

You can take a complete 180* in this energy, an about face, to go off on a very new path.  Perhaps one you never even suspected, or glimpsed, but now the glittery luminescence shimmers as Neptune retrograde at 26* of MAGICAL PIsces still forms a square to the 27* Sagittarius Galactic Center, drawing down Mother’s Milk, for a NEW WAY.  She also widely opposes this new moon, who enters her dark phase and joins the sun, and that will bring up some darker aspects of all of us, and we can see them in those around us as well as in the shadows that skirt our periphery.  This can get sticky, and unnerving.

Try to remember, every one of us is dealing with this transitional time between worlds, between ages.  But like Burning Man, the ground is muddy at times, and that makes for slippery slopes.  Those are MUTABLE SIGNS.
Uranus also retrograde at 22* TAUrus forms an uncomfortable inconjunct to that GC and widely conjoins a retrograde Jupiter at 15* TAUrus and he is squaring Venus at 14* Leo the king and right alongside the queen of heaven, Juno at 15*. 
What does this mean?  Well, if you have done the work to find YOUR VALUE, and already scouted out some roads you haven’t travelled yet (this could also be new ways or approaches of doing what you presently do) then you may not feel ‘cornered’ or ‘boxed in’, especially the FIXED SIGNS: LEO, TAURUS, AQUARIUS, AND SCORPIO. You will find the road rising up to meet you, or conversely, the universe literally washing away the path you were on, somehow (if you work at a store, it could close, or your position is replaced, or the place you work has new owners, or they close the business, etc.)
But SOMETHING is going to happen, that will change the course you were on.

You will be forced to decide.
But those nodes of destiny have been shaking that tree for a year and a half, along with the eclipses in the FIXED SIGNS, with ONE MORE STILL TO TAKE PLACE ON OCTOBE
They are ALSO STILL SQUARING PLUTO!!! KARMA!

That happens right after the 2^nd last doorway in the GREAT USA FIRE ECLIPSE PYRAMID ON October 14^th’s solar eclipse.

This is even more powerful now since Aquarius is a fixed sign and ruler the NEW AGE we are entering. (Fully in 2026, but remember, after 2,000 years, it isn’t just some overnight transition.)

Now, MUTABLE SIGNS: VIRGO, SAGITTARIUS, PISCES, AND GEMINI, you have also been feeling the pressure to rebuild the STRUCTURE that is being EXPOSED and showing you where the FOUNDATION or BUILDING NEEDS TO BE FIXED, CHANGED, ALTERED, etc.
Saturn retrograde at 2* PIsces and going all the way back to 00*PIsces before he turns around again, tells us the SCAFFOLDING to the hopes you were building may be REVEALED AS A DREAM THAT WAS NOT CLEAR, but this only means that your TRUE DESTINY IS NOW READY TO BE CREATED, even though you HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THE TRUE KNOWLEDGE/GNOSIS, (YOUR TRUE SELF, LIGHT WITHIN) the LIMINAL DOORS WIDEN now, just enough to FILL YOU WITH WONDER AGAIN.

If you listen closely, just before dawn, or at the magical light of dusk, you can hear the music playing, Pan playing his flute to guide you into the GARDEN OF SACRED KNOWLEDGE.

Feel your feet on the warm earth below you, and the pulsing heartbeat of the EARTH, as your bones start to hum, and the ANCESTORS whisper and rustle the leaves.  See the sunflower’s spinning and dancing in the last rays of the sun, filled with a JOY they cannot help but radiate in their fractal eminence. 

You, YOU ARE WHO YOU HAVE LIVED SO MANY LIVES, YOU ARE THE ANCESTORS.  YOU’VE BEEN WAITING LIFETIMES FOR THIS.

PIsces, takes the energy of the WATERS ABOVE AND BELOW AND TEACHES US WHAT MA’ATERS.

A new form of substance, PURE ETHER, AND ENERGY, READY TO BECOME WHATEVER YOU NOW KNOW YOU CAME TO CREATE.

You aren’t just ready for this time; YOU WERE MADE FOR THIS TIME.

Starry, starry, night…

I’ve always followed the path that the universe puts in front of me, I listen for the wisdom and ask direction.  Each step has come sometimes shimmering on the steps like water shining after a rain.  Sometimes by following the serenade being played from or to my soul.  But always, from asking ‘how can I help’?  ‘What can I do’?  And the magic happens, like a gloam opening the world and awakening the deepest places, I wouldn’t even know existed ~ until the muse played upon my strings.  My heart strings.

This is the GIFT of Neptune and the 12^th house that has no boundaries, it is the world within worlds, where angels fall to earth, to try and find a way back to heaven by good works.  (LIMINAL MAGE: Liminal Mage .33 oz. Roll On (arcoftheancients.com)

You know it when you meet that person who seems to sprinkle star dust with the twinkle in their eyes, no matter how old they or you are.

They never wonder what the fashion is because they are FASHIONABLE NO MATTER HOW THEY DRESS.  YOU DON’T CARE.

Some might want to ‘get them to stumble’ just to wake yourself up from the high, and if you are refusing to follow and find your own light, or even believe you have your own magical light, the smaller slumbering or unhealed part of you might want them to fall, or slip some of that stardust from their pouch, but you’d be making a big life mistake.  That just shows you are not whole yourself, don't resent those who are.  Go work on yourself, find that light, it is there.  Find your own value, not someone else's.  

Because the universe is watching, and you are telling the universe YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN THE WONDER AND SPARK OF CREATION.

Oh, it’s an awful sin to try and fool mother nature.

She wants you to know you are loved that she never makes mistakes, and that you have FAITH.

This is such a time as these, to have faith.

To dance until the wee ones join you, because they never want to miss out on a joyous occasion. 
Kiss someone in the moonlight, kiss a flower, believe me, someone is there.

Wrap your arms around a baby, a tree, a rock warmed in the sunlight pouring through the blue skies.  Lift a leaf, you’ll find God is there, feel the leaves clapping for you in the wind, tell the whirling hibiscus you love how beautiful they are.

Someone needs your help, and that is the key.

The world needs us to show up now and stop pretending we don’t see the earth and heart splitting in two as REVEALATIONS rips the curtains down, one veil at a time to show us, ‘THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL’.

If we’re not careful, we can find ourselves compromising and getting sucked into the ‘undertow’ of making excuses to do the wrong thing, or not stand up for what is right.

It can get as muddy and murky as Burning Man (this is a big symbol of information on the planet, and why it has taken up so much airtime) when the skies open up and rain down on the masquerade of pretend and pretense.

When so much needs doing, how evolved are those who put ENERGY into creating something just to tear it down?  In the middle of a desert?  Wasting precious resources.

Ahhh, watery PIsces, can soothe you, lull you to sleep, give you pleasant dreams and paint canvasses of inspiration, she can connect us all, cleanse us, nourish us and reflect back to us all that we came here to be.

She can also roil into riotous thunder along with the fire gods, and create an ocean of turbulence, wiping out villages where family’s paved towns and schools, and shops and farms.  She can take it all out in one torrential downpour or tidal wave.

She is MIGHTY.

She is listening too.  We are made up of 80% water.  SHE IS US.
ARE WE STORMING AND RAINING?  OR SUNNY AND WARM.

WE ARE NATURE AND WE CHANGE TOO.

Neptune can turn poisonous and mixed with Pluto’s Power at 28* Capricorn, ALSO retrograde they form a sextile of reviews and re-VISIONS.  Where are we going?

Now that brings us to the CARDINAL SIGNS: ARIES, CANCER, LIBRA, AND CAPRICORN.  No, Pluto is not done transforming you yet.  See, how he so wisely has returned to RE-VIEW those last degrees again?
Sure, he made waves into the FIXED CROSS, when he entered Aquarius for a SPELL last spring on March 3^rd.

But who was ready for that?  People screaming ‘I AM!’ and they SEE IT ALL, and still talking about taking some colour of pill, blue, red, or black, HOW ABOUT WE DON’T TAKE A PILL AT ALL?

YOU THINK YOU NEED A PILL?  OH, didn’t you know.  Pills and drugs are also under the rulership of Neptune, and ADDICTION.

Neptune is ruler of PIsces, we have all been LIVING IN THE AGE OF ILLUSION AND ADDICTIONS.  ART IS THE WAY OUT AND THROUGH.

Pluto is also still squaring the nodes of destiny, with the Head of the dragon at 25* Aries and the Tail at 25* Libra.  We are only wading into the very powerful inferno that we will get a major glimpse of on October 14^th in the new moon, solar eclipse (This can portend economic shifts, Tidal waves of TRAUMA, DEEP REVEALATIONS) that is the last MAJOR doorway leading up to the final eclipse in Aries on April 8^th, next year.  Buckle Up.

But I digress, as usual.

See, the sun is about to enter Libra on the 23^rd, when we have the glorious fall equinox.  Feel the air turning crisp, the nights getting cool, fires starting to light up the hearth.

See the golden, amber, and ochre jewelry praising the sun for all the light they have swallowed through the summer haze?

Are you giving thanks?

By now, you have learned a lot more about what you truly VALUE.  What MA’ATERS.  L I V I N G.

Listen to those who have crossed over, oh, they are there, believe me, and they are telling you, all of us, to LIVE.  So, I ask you again, what makes you come A-L I V E?  Yeah, DO THAT.

One thing I will tell you again, about when I died, was the FRUSTRATION of not being able to DO ANYTHING IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD ANYMORE.

PEOPLE COULDN’T FEEL ME.

MADE ME FRANTIC.

It was ILLUMINATING.

Yes, people have crossed over to continue their mission from the other side, but don’t think for a single minute, they don’t’ have times and wish they could be here too.  Because the power is in the physical world, and worse, most people do not even acknowledge, let alone see or hear them.

The greatest show on earth is taking place right now.

So, Cardinal’s, what are you preparing?

Mars is at 11*59’ Libra, so he is giving you ACTION AND ENERGY, as he is also forming a sextile to Venus at 14* Leo who is now DIRECT, DO WHAT YOU LOVE.

Mercury will begin to station direct on Friday, September 15th at 4:20PM when he is at 8* Virgo.  He will be fully direct on Saturday, at 4:21PM EDT, when he is at 8*4' Virgo and Lady Luna will be EXACTLY CONJOINED MARS AT 13* LIBRA.
This is a POWERFUL TIME TO SET INTENTIONS TO MOVE FORWARD!!!

CREATE.  WHAT IS YOUR ART?  HE-ART?

The people doing the best through these challenging times, have found their art, some creative pursuit to channel the GUIDANCE AND ENERGY that is pouring onto the planet to help us.
We have to do something with all this energy, if we don’t find creative ways to positively discharge or release, it can devastate us, turn the mind into frantic mush, and make people feel hopeless, or guilty from times past, as Barbara Hand Clow so wisely states in her recent interview with Sandie Sedgbeer.
Powerful times such as these, can beat you up, or lift you up.
Are you riding the waves or are you being pulled under and swallowed by them?

Choose wisely.  We ain’t seen nothing yet.

Integrating Duality Mirrored By Illusions In the Gemini New Moon

The new Moon in Gemini will occur on May 22, 2020 at 2* and 04’ of GEMINI THE TWINS at 1:38PM EDT, this is Enki and Enlil, Remus and Romulus, the twins of so many legends.  Gemini is also ruled by Mercury/Hermes and on May 15th, we celebrate the Feast of Mercuralia which was a Roman celebration that was also known as the ‘Festival of Mercury’.
I want to bring your attention to the numbers.  5/22/2020 2 degrees and 4 minutes.  2 x 5 = 10 and 10+ 10 = 20.  It is the 5th month X’s 22 days (which 2 X 2=4).  Again, we see all the CODING in this NEW MOON.  Gemini as pointed out is the TWINS.  Partnerships no matter which subtitle they fall under have their synchronicities and their oppositions, as well as their combined efforts to push forward and build.  (That is the 4/square) Lincoln’s famous address states: ‘4 score and 7 years ago’.)
Note: 4 score means 4x20, as score means a measurement of 20.
Mercury is the ‘merchant’ in the zodiac
Jesus says: "The Kingdom of the Father is like a man, a merchant, who has a burden and found a pearl. This merchant is a wise man: he sold the bundle and bought the pearl alone. You also seek his treasure which does not perish, which lasts, into which the moth does not enter to consume and the worm does not destroy."
This brings in the energy of the twins.  Double 2’s on the 22nd, piggybacking on all the other ‘coded’ numbers we are experiencing, last month the new moon fell on 4.22, so we have the sequence of 2’s and 4’s…help.  Partnerships, working with each other and of course the 444 is a well-known numerological sign for angels or spiritual help from the Highest Order.
In case you did not already know this, the business number that was ‘randomly’ given to me, has the last three digits: 444.
Two’s NEED EACH OTHER.  4 is also a building number, and it brings in the energy of Cancer/the moon which will bring powerful energies in again.
Brave souls have become frightened children, praying for help and guidance.
Our world as we once perceived it, is no longer the same world in so many ways.
So, we must prepare and give birth to that which has been within us all along, waiting for just this time.  We will create our new timeline, using this powerful transformation and that which we can build upon with the increase of the moon.
This new moon in Gemini, is also tapping into a powerful trine back to the lineup in Capricorn,

Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn, that started this whole SHIFT OF THE AGES and The Evolution of the World Soul, as I predicted back in this blog many times, but here is one from 2013: https://arcoftheancients.blogspot.com/2013/02/pluto-in-capricorn-evolution-of-world.html
We were made for just these times.  We simply must bring the light forward, find our inner light and shine that light upon the world to break through the darkness and confusion.
This is why I love using the ‘Essene’ essential oils so much, and have since the 80’s.  They are liquid light.  They are the captured light of the plants, fruits, trees, roots, etc.  So, they help you, entrain you to the light, your OWN INNER LIGHT.
As stated so exceptionally long ago, in posts trying to prepare us, ‘systemic’ collapse and pandemic were words prognosticating and forewarning this very time frame for all of us.  Though it went against the too often used ‘spiritual bypassing’ language that hijacked so many with false teachings or at best, partial truths.
I must share the truth as given to me.  It is far less popular at times than simply massaging someone’s ego, and not use the corrupted truths, which are used for just that reason, as well as profit, as in ‘false prophet’s’.
The truth for anyone truly seeking awakening, is not always easy or kind.
It does have a course.  It does have purpose.  It is necessary.
You cannot learn how courageous you are, without WALKING THROUGH FEAR until perhaps you FEAR NO MORE.
You cannot forge a strong soul that can handle the TRUE LOVE AND LIGHT OF THE CREATOR, without the PROCESS.  Without all the El-e-ments and alchemic preparation, much like distilling essential oils in a BAIN MARIE. (Reminder that the double-boiler is named after Mary Magdalene, the Patron Saint of Aromatherapy and Alchemy).  Chem, as we have stated in the past, is also Khem:
Khem was the native name for Egypt, it means “black” (darkness) and referred to the fertile, black soil of the Nile valley. Al/El is the God of the Old Testament/from Egypt. This then becomes the basis for the word, Alchemy.  For out of the fertile soil and darkness grows the healthy life, the garden of the soul.
This is what we want to tap into now.
When we translate the word 'symbol' literally, it is 'bringing together' or 'connecting': thus a symbol can connect what lies buried in our unconscious, a power that guides us knowingly or unknowingly and it is just this power that feeds our dreams too.  We want to bridge the visible with the invisible, which is not always easy to translate into words, but symbols can do this, archetypes do this, myths do this, music does this.
The following symbols represent Mary and Jesus (Sacred Marriage of the pairs of opposites)

The picture to the left, was taken from Mary Magdalene Bride in Exile, by Margaret Starbird.
This drawing can also be found in that book:

These images are found all over Europe and the Middle East and have long mythical traditions.
Essentially, the goddess is born out of the waters, (baptism) and of course, when a woman is about to give birth, her water breaks and we say, ‘she is crowing’.
Here is another picture:

The Mixoparthenos (Greek: Μιξοπάρθενος) was a Greek mythological figure, traditionally hailing from the Black Sea region where her image is seen frequent. The name means "half-maiden".

The form of the Mixoparthenos is distinctive - above the waist, a beautiful woman, but covered with scales from waist down, ending in a double snake-tail. Some versions have the Milyxoparthenos ending in a double fish-tail. Herodotus's Histories (4.9.2), Heracles marvels at a Mixoparthenos when he meets one, and mates with her, producing three sons, the youngest of which eventually became the founder of the Scythian nation.
The Starbucks logo depicts a Mixoparthenos, of the double fish-tailed variety.
With you [God] is Sophia [Lady Wisdom], she who knows your works, she who was present when you made the world; she understands what is pleasing in your eyes and what agrees with your commandments. (Wisdom 9:9)
The Hippocampus literally translates to: Sea Horse and this brings us to the Charioteer in the Tarot.  See in the image that he must hold the pairs of opposites, the male/female, yin/yang under control to get to his destination by 'reigning/reining/raining them in'.

This can also connote, the planet Neptune also known as Poseidon, who rules the seas and is credited for the invention or creation of the horse.
Neptune is still in her rulership in PIsces at 20* and is in exact square to both Mercury and Venus at 20* of Gemini during this new moon phase.  She can muddy the waters so to speak, and may create ILLUSIONS that you think you heard, or regarding what you think you love.  Be incredibly careful, as she can box you in, making you think you need to make decisions that you may not need to make.  Be careful of drinking and drugs during this time, information that may come out might not be the truth, best to wait and see.  This can also indicate an increase in overdoses or suicides.
And here we see that Venus and Mercury are conjunct, so Mercury is whispering sweet nothings into Venus’s ear and Venus can pretend she is enamored with him now.
Venus as we know, is also retrograde, making this quite the cauldron.
This does however make for the perfect time to tend to that inner child.  Bring her or him love, forgive yourselves.
While the sun and the moon, are getting together to start this new cycle, Mars is pushing into square at 6* of PIsces too, this can soften the edges, or dredge up the muck you thought was buried long ago, adding to our buried treasures we are finding now.
Saturn went retrograde on May 11th at 1* Aquarius and is still hovering on that degree forming a nice

trine of support to Lady Luna and our solar guide the sun.  This can lend a hand to both buying and selling a home, but she is retrograde and both the sun and moon are moving forward, so this is a short window of time to tap into, or for those home projects to get finished, as well as the opening of restaurants and businesses, but again, this may be elusive and short lived, as Saturn pulls back further and further and that gap widens you may feel like you just walked out onto ‘nothing’ and see the ground was never really there in the first place.  CAUTION.
Jupiter went retrograde on May 14th at 27* Capricorn so there is a wide trine of support and expansion that he is also playing with the Sun and moon.  Again, he is retrograde, and that gap will widen.
Uranus at 8* Taurus is in a sextile to Mars in PIsces, so this puts some erratic support to taking action.
All of this leads to cautionary times, but also a breather that is most welcome.
Mercury does not retrograde until June 18th.  But it may seem as though he is, because so many other planets are retrograde now and especially with Venus and Mars in Gemini now too.
The following table shows Mercury’s motion, not retrograde until June:
Shadow: 06/02/2020 29* Cancer
Retro Grade: 06/18/2020 12:58 AM EDT 14* Cancer
Direct: 07/12/2020 04:26 AM EDT 05*Cancer
Clears Shadow: 07/27/2020 14* Cancer

Janus: According to some, he was the custodian of the universe but, to all Romans, he was the god of the beginnings and the endings, presiding over every entrance and departure, and because every door and passageway looks in two directions, Janus was seen as two-faced or Janus bifrons -- the god who looked both ways. He was the gatekeeper; his symbols were a porter’s staff or virga and a set of keys. To illustrate his importance, his name was even mentioned before Jupiter in prayers. He protected the start of all activities. He inaugurated the seasons. The first day of each month was considered sacred to him but the first month of the year -- January -- which many in the present day consider named in his honor -- was actually named for Juno, queen of the gods. Early Romans coins featured his image, showing him as two-faced, one bearded and one clean-shaven. Later, during the Renaissance, this image of two faces would represent not only the past and future but also wisdom.

VENUS began her 40-day descent from view, she turned retrograde on May 12th at 21* of Gemini, and she does not move direct again until June 25th after she has travelled back to 5* Gemini.  So we see how this magnifies the energy of Mercury/Gemini in our timeframe.
The trajectory of the planet Venus is connected to the myth of Inanna.
As she descends we can also go deeper into our own psyche, into our underworld where Pluto/Hades is the ruler and he can be fearsome as we all know.  We face our deepest, darkest shadows and memory’s from the past, perhaps things we have done that we shackle ourselves to like prisoners, may once again rear their heads and make us feel ‘unworthy’.
But this journey into the darker aspects of our soul, of our being is necessary to integrate the

archetypes and symbols that hold us back, stealing our power.  This is INITIATION.
As we have been stating all along, structures, governments and corporations may fall and new ones rise, also we will see the SHADOWS that they hid too.
All of this can happen, during this PAN demic as the shadows are excavated.
The core of the earth may quake, as our own inner daemons are rattled from the depths of our being.
We are challenged to right our own ship, and find the plum line into the fertile earth within us and in our own roots, back into our lineage and where we come from, what our ancestors went through to bring you to this very moment.
On the world stage, all around us, we see collectively what we have individually created together.  It is up to each of us, to amalgamate and transmute our own darkness, making peace with the heaven’s and hells of our beliefs.
What we have not dealt with, as so much ‘spiritual bypassing’ has falsely taught, is to shove the negative down, to put on a smile and pretend you or I are in a place that has no darkness.  And now that has erupted onto the stage we see all around us.
The ‘negative energy’ story that has been pushed, as if we don’t have any darkness.  God made day and night, so we slip into the darkness and that is when we stop limiting who we are during dreamtime rather than when we are wide awake and project who we wish or think we should be.
This is precisely why I lived in the barn without running water, so many years ago.  To strip it all bare and find out who I was and why, without trying to be someone I thought I should be.
When we are through this period, we will find our deep gifts to give to the world, with less judgment.  Without calling someone the ‘other’.
As we decide whether to wear or not wear a mask.  Let us find our own inner masks and bare the true, unfiltered light.  That light will cast shadows, that is the way light works. Let’s really take our masks off!

Now, back to the astrology.  Mercury Also rules thieves and tricksters.  He is the heyoka in Native American traditions: The heyoka (heyókȟa, also spelled "haokah," "heyokha") is a kind of sacred clown in the culture of the Lakota people of the Great Plains of North America.
He is papa legba in Voodoo and he rules the ‘cross-roads’ that Robert Johnson went down to and according to story, he left the so-so guitar player/singer that he used to be, and after he made his ‘deal’ at the crossroads, became the legendary guitar player/songwriter and singer we all know.
Mercury is commonly identified with the Greek Hermes, the fleet-footed messenger of the gods.
Aventine Hill in Rome was dedicated in 495 BCE. There Mercury was associated with Maia, who became identified as his mother through her association with the Greek Maia, one of the Pleiades, who was the mother of Hermes by Zeus; likewise, because of that Greek connection, Mercury was considered the son of Jupiter. Both Mercury and Maia were honoured in the Mercuralia festival on May 15, the dedication day of Mercury’s temple on the Aventine.
Mercury associated with merchants as stated previously is sometimes represented as holding a purse, symbolic of his business functions. Mercury is often portrayed wearing winged sandals or a winged cap and carrying a caduceus (staff).  Remember Moses carried a staff, and he turned it into a ‘serpent’ (Pluto is the serpent) at Pharaohs’ Court and Pharaoh commanded his own ‘MAGICIANS’ to throw their ‘staff’s’ down and they did, they turned into snakes too, but Moses had the GREATER MAGIC and his snake/staff ate the others.
He is also associated with; Shepherds, Athletes, and Luck.
He is the Patron of: Invention, art, literature, trade, and travel.
Some myths state that he was the father of the half-goat, half-human PAN.
Do you see how closely related Mercury, the messenger god who can travel into the underworld where Pluto lives, especially during this timeframe, really is to Pluto and PAN?
Most scholars think that Hermes’ name derives from the Greek word herma, which means “a heap of

stones” or “cairn.” Cairns were a common sight in the Ancient world, serving as trail- or boundary-markers. (The crossroads) Some say that the first cairn was erected by the gods, when they cast all their stones in favor of Hermes, during his trial for slaying Argus Panoptes.
Hermes was the only Olympian capable of crossing the boundary between the living and the dead and carrying the souls of the dead in Hades. In time, he came to be known as “the conductor” or “the leader of souls.” People also called him “patron of travelers and thieves,” “shepherd of men,” “trickster,” and “Argus-slayer.”
Give birth to all these aspects, integrate your own duality during this new moon in Gemini, ruled by Mercury.
Pluto is forming a tough square to Eris right now.
Eris is now at 24*Ar16'11" as of 22 May 2020
Eris goddess of strife and discord and Pluto hanging out in exact square and retrograde too, can bring untimely events, when we add Uranus to the mix, and definitely can shake up the earth or possibly find us in saber rattling if not flat out war territory.

This can bring some ‘terrible winds’, especially in Gemini which heralds some of the most deadly tornadic activity and on May 5^th, the head and tail of the dragon, Rahu and Ketu, also known as the moons/lunar nodes have moved out of the Capricorn/Cancer axis and entered Gemini/Sagittarius axis.

This will take some of the pressure off the cardinal signs, particularly Capricorn’s and Cancer’s obviously, as they have now been almost stripped clean, like an F5 Tornado went through their lives and psyche’s.
Activating and excavating their deepest selves, or the truth laid bare that remained.  They now have a clearer path, though Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn have not quite finished with them yet either.
So the mutable signs, Gemini, Sagittarius, and Virgo’s and PIsces will now go through their own activations.  This will be doubly powerful with this new moon activation and Venus retrograde in Gemini will really be rehashing old stuff, asking what do you truly love, what words build and which ones turn into SWORDS/WORDS that cut like a knife?  It may not even be possible to stop the bleeding from such poisonous cuts.  They can also cut out the tumor, the festering decay that rots the soul, when one does not take in their deepest darkest selves and love them too, integrating and admitting that darkness, to become the fuel for power, now you have taken the reins of the Charioteer.
Hang on.

We need to keep praying and hopefully, as you light your candles this new moon, see a peaceful timeline and your role in playing that peacemaker, as you make peace with your lost selves, buried far too long and waiting for you to ‘witness’ your own pain.
Get ready, all of this is leading up to the eclipse cycles, starting with the full moon on June 5th, when Lady Luna reaches 15* of Sagittarius and stands across from her paramour, the sun who will be at 15* of Gemini.  Oh the duality of it all.

You Are Everything, Scorpio Full Moon Illuminates The Soul

Lady Luna waxes into her fullness at 6:45 AM EDT on May 7th of the year 2020.  She will be fully pregnant at17*20’ of Scorpio when she stands across her paramour the sun who will be at 7*20’ of Taurus the Bull.

Mercury who is flying alongside the sun has just crossed his path reporting to him of all his findings that traveler’s whispered to him at the crossroads and he is now at 20*23’ of Taurus.
That is the essence of the Scorpio moon, divulging secrets, revealing what has been buried, as Scorpio’s ruler is Pluto who rules the underworld.

If you have been following along then you know just how much Pluto/Hades un-earthing has been and blowing up on the world stage as he has NUKED everything in his path in Capricorn/Pan, the Goat.

And so, with this full moon, she discloses so much of what has been buried.  Scorpio also rules sexual reproduction and this may bring up the past assaults and we see some of the detritus of this Corona/Crown/Coronation/Coronary virus has magnified abuse of POWER in so many ways, in homes between partners, lovers and on the world stage we see the fight over power, and CONTROL.  FEAR.  No human has the right over another, not to control, not to force, and certainly not to abuse anyone.
You may also find yourself releasing the build up of highly-charged emotions running up to and after this full moon, the tears may surge like a river of darkness, trying to wash away all the hurt and pain that is ‘overflowing’ the banks of our hearts, the walls of our memories breached.

“How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun?” ~Nietzsche

And so, we go on, we light our candles to stand back the dark pall, and the moon shining is our reminder that even in the darkest of nights, we are given a light to find our way home.

And find that light we must.

We do not have another option, we must go inside, find the INTEGRAL HUMAN we may have lost?  What/who do you love? Husband, wife, partner, child, dog, cat, neighbor, boss, friend?

Let that energy you feel for those you love, rekindle the lost self and let that help you find your way home now, to that INNER LIGHT AND LIFE.

Do we all know this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6StORhP7n2c

YOU

ARE EVERYTHING

Let that resonate.

Pluto just went retrograde on April 26^th at 24*50’ of Capricorn, so this is time to review that power, intensity, secrets, thoughts about sex, wills, health care, taxes.

The sun is starting to form a nice trine to Pluto, Jupiter and then Saturn, so that will give us a little help, to put a little light on matters and identify issues.

Mercury is too, and this will give us the words to say, speaking truth to power and he is also squaring Mars so this could get harsh or even physical, be careful.

Luckily, Venus is also forming a lovely trine to Mars her paramour too, so this kind of energy can make for nice heat in the boudoir. And help to calm down that square from Mercury to Mars.  Better to put that passion into something that will help you both feel good if possible.
^th at 21*50’ Gemini, so we will definitely be reviewing past loves, where we went wrong and what we did right.  It is also money, but a lot more about communications about money, or buying and selling. 
Good time to review why you need to love yourself, first.  Self-talk, write yourself a letter, even a past you.

Venus is also in shadow, she will station retrograde on May 13

Jupiter is still conjunct Pluto, that is a lot of expansion on this whole Plutonian concept that I listed above.
CAUTION.

Hang in there, what a ride we are on, eh?
Well, we are heading into an eclipse cycle next month, so...yeah...things are going to start heating up.  Hey, I am just the messenger!  PRAY, MEDITATE, YOGA, REIKI, WALK IN NATURE, do what you got to do!
