Full Moon In PIsces, Dreaming the Fire

Everything is so ‘match-stick’ ready now; ready to be fired up in an instant, gratuitous seconds that string life together and leave all the waiting in the rear view mirror.

Uranus used to make random guest appearances and light up the mind with an instance of awe.

Now, as Uranus regains his ‘sky god’ status, ruling this new Age of Aquarius; the anticipation of possibilities has been usurped through the constant contact the new technology (ruled by Uranus) has brought.

People string along sidewalks waiting for the latest new gadget or phone, which will be ever ready to steal away the moments that once gifted us with the luxury of our surroundings and the present.

Now this same new technological wizardry hijacks our spirits into ‘being on call 24/7’ in a continuous stream of alert messages and information that we somehow managed to do without before; before we were mesmerized (Neptune/Poseidon in Pisces, the age we are leaving behind,  as cohort in this drama) into the need for this instant feed.

Gone is the magical silence that once wove its spell in anticipation of that phone call from a new lover, the kind that kept us on hold and frozen, finger tips in mouth with only the mind and heart  racing at the end of the phone that was attached to the wall.  YOU COULDN'T move, or just keep running through life, you had to wait. 

Gone is the wrestling of giving up a night with friends, of whether you should just leave instead of waiting for a call that might not come.  No more is the cauldron that helped cook up the heady brew, the angst of wonder, the slow blooming and budding of love that may go unrequited.

That ring meant everything.

When it came, it was the reward that would set your heart ablaze and reassure you that your new love shared your feelings.
So too, do we see all the 'instant gratification' pseudo spiritual teachings being shared now: 'Be in the Now' 'Get more stuff if you're really spiritual'...and all of it, is really masquerading as being spiritually evolved, when you wake up and smell the burnt coffee floating over the reality of selfishness and false pride.  People seem to not be able to have enough, quick enough.  I myself, become very frustrated with my computer when it freezes, or I cannot open a file quick enough.  Mea Culpa.
Real spirituality has NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY AND MORE STUFF!  Note, Jesus in the desert or cracking the whip that He fashioned in the temple.  It is an inside trip, and one will do more evolving helping someone else, being kind to others, rather than always needing to feel good and help themselves feel even better.  Yes, you should take care of yourself, but what happened to the code of ethics that taught us not to be selfish?  Be wary of the underbelly of URanus!

New Moon, July 26, 2014 at 3* of Leo.

We are entering some very ‘hot’ times, coming as the moon squeezes out the energy of Saturn/EL/Lord of the Rings finally, going direct at 16* of Scorpio the day before UR-Anus went retrograde at 16* of Aries.

So, do we see they are both at 16*?  They are exactly INCONJUNCT one another in their synodic dance in the heavens.  This is not a comfortable place for them (or any planets in aspect) and the energy becomes very difficult to work together.  Saturn/El being structure, form, control and time in dissonance with UR-anus (former time keeper ‘anus is where we get annual from’) just a longer clock concerned with the bigger picture.  URanus is also ruler of Aquarius, electricity, computers, community and co-ruler of lightening and sudden, ‘out of the blue’ events).  So, when these two are in such distress with one another, they will bring upheaval with their rulership subjects.  Saturn/EL took his sickle and cut us off from the heavens of Uranus, and as he did so, Uranus (cutting off Uranus’s penis) his semen flowed into the seas of Poseidon, and we had the birth of Venus (beauty/love) spring forth. 
Though it brings upheaval, the cracks that form to the structures, allow the light to come through so that hidden things in plain sight become even more evident.  They will definitely shake things up that were once static.  Saturn as he brings up the secrets and reveals that those in power behind the scenes (Scorpio) may have an agenda that is not comfortable with preconceived notions.

 All this while we are feeling the gurgling revelations of the licentious acts that have taken place while Pluto/Hades was retrograde, now getting ready to station direct on September 23rd, 2014 at 10* of Capricorn after having been retrograde since April 14th. at 13*.  Remember, when a planet is in its shadow phase, our own shadow side of that planet’s energy often is revealed.

See your own placement by sign and house to see how that will affect you personally.

Picture the viscous globs of oil rending their way on shore, the serpentine version of Pluto/Hades crawling on his belly and bringing up the dark and odiferous muck that was imprisoned in the abyss.

We had Mars conjunct Saturn in this process, just below Saturn on the horizon (Horus son) at 17* of Scorpio exactly on August 25th, the day of the new moon.  We saw agreements between warring factions try to etch themselves into binding form.  

We just have too much antagonistic energy in the seas we swim in now.  Luckily, on September 14th.  URanus and Saturn will move even further away from each other and no longer in the inconjunct.

The problem is, other planets are also inconjunct:  The sun (ego/identity), now at 16* Of Virgo is forming an inconjunct To Uranus; Jupiter/Zeus at 11* of Leo is inconjunct to Pluto/Hades at 11* of Capricorn and the Moon before she turns full tomorrow at 16* of PIsces, will briefly inconjunct Venus/Aphrodite who is at 4* of Virgo.

We will also feel the wider orb of the inconjunct of Mercury/Hermes who is at 9* of Libra to Neptune/Poseidon at 5* of Pisces.  

What an emotional cocktail fomenting this building full moon which happens On September 8th at 9:39pm E.D.T. at 16* of PIsces.   She opposes her mate, but she is bringing into full view, all that she has filled herself with (Or you have seeded during this time) to reflect back to us who we are and who we are becoming.  Remember the old commercial?  Maj, I think I can ‘see myself’?

A PIscean moon is emotional anyway, but she is home to the dreamers.  She may confuse you as she glides by Neptune, ruler of PIsces.  She will be dreamy though, they could be doozies in tonight’s ocean of deep wonder (And the next few nights).  You can tap into this creative soup, but be careful about decisions made during the allure Neptune casts in her soulful sister.
If they are decisions to change what you have, to trade in for something ‘you think’ is better, be very careful!!!

All that glitters is just not gold, but you will wake up as the afterglow of what was really just a one-night stand, and realize you just had one too many. This can also bring deep spiritual insights, and even a connectedness to the source, or God.
If you can enjoy the buoyant effects Of Jupiter/Zeus who is at 11* of Leo and is sextile to Mercury/Hermes and in a nice trine to URANUS right now, (especially Capricorns and Virgo’s) you might get a lift out of the heavy Plutonian aspects and find your place in the sun.

All The fear-mongering going on, we can thank this heavy Plutonian energy.  I will write later on the usage of the word ‘ISIS’ and how that is actually a very sly way to denigrate the Divine Feminine, and derail that balancing energy of the strong, loving, nurturing feminine God-head that loves the earth and the EL-ements.  This is exactly what is needed on this planet right now!

We are and will be, in the upheaval of the Blood Moons as noted in previous posts, see:

http://arcoftheancients.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-blood-moon-dance-into-fullness.html until September of 2015 and all the while, we are still in the other tumult of the Cardinal Cross/Uranus square to Pluto that will also not be over until April of 2015.

Change is going to come.

I expect that the next hit, Mars conjunct Saturn at 17* of Scorpio on August 25^th will bring some major agreement being etched in stone, at least formulated on the airwaves, and since it is in Scorpio, probably already written and just kept secret.

Now, I am not fond of sharing difficult news...but since these Blood Moons are falling on the High Holy days of the Jewish calendar, and history showing us that unrest always happens in these particular cycles, we knew something was going to boil over as the Blood Moons spilled into the streets.  This leaves most of us with a heavy heart.

The universe always gives us something to help us through such times, and this is no different.

This new moon on July 26th, was in Leo at 3* AND it was in conjunction with the benevolent Jupiter/Zeus at 2*.  This bodes very well for Leo’s, giving them some joy to help with the Saturn in Scorpio square they are experiencing. 

Find some laughter, enjoy children right now…all of us can find a lighter heart through the innocence of children, their smiles, their curiosity and we can become child-like, and enjoy playing ourselves.

Find your roar, your joy, your inner strength and bask in the summer sun. 
This culmination full moon, started with the New Moon in Virgo at 2*, so had lots of organization happening…and if you got that done, then you can revel in the newly organized space, that is rid of clutter.  If not, so much to do now, confusion will reign.

The other major thing we see with Pluto coming to the surface and Mars conjunct Saturn, is the volcanic explosions, lightening (Uranus square to Pluto) and airplane incidents as well as earthquakes.  I wouldn’t want to fly now, but with that inconjunct from Uranus to Saturn/EL easing up, that should help.

This full moon in Pisces, will wane into the darkness of the new moon on September 24^th which will be at 01* degrees of Libra.  Let’s hope that a bit of fair-mindedness and harmony will be seeded, and love will reign supreme?  A bit of kindness from this Piscean full moon energy filling the planet and caring for the underdog.  Enough with the thug behavior and the bullying already!

That new moon will culminate with a lunar eclipse, and the next of the 4 blood moons on October 8^th.  She will be at 15* of Aries, so once again, the Cardinal signs; Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and Libra will be activated, since this is also right on the Uranus/Pluto square cycle.  Thankfully, it is not on the critical 13*, but it does ignite the final square that will happen on March 16, 2015.
So, let’s lean towards the Joy of Jupiter in Leo and seed the earth and each other with kindness, shall we?  We are all here, swimming in this same energy and we can change that…kindness goes a long way.

A Stampede Into The Dark Knight?

This will be a quick post, during a Mercury Retrograde.  We are now in the year of the horse, and the following are some clues as to the signs of the times.

On SUN –day, January 26^th, Katie Perry sang her hit song, ‘Dark Horse’ on one of the most watched television shows of the year.

This was followed by the Chinese year of the horse, which began on Feb 1, 2014.

On February 2, the 33^rd day of the year, we watched the news of actor Philip Hoffman’s much publicized death ~ his name means ‘fond of horses’.

Philip died using heroin, which is also known as horse.  Ever been through the desert on a ‘horse with no name, it feels good to get out from the rain’?

His death was on Imbolc Feb 2, the 2^nd day of the 2^nd month, according the Gregorian calendar. (Which is 22, and why Psalm 22 relates again to this time frame.)

It was also the day of the ‘Super Bowl’ between the Seattle ‘Sea’-‘HAWKS’ and the Denver ‘BRONCOS’ (The Bronco being the bucking horse), and the horse got his but whipped.

During half-time, Bruno ‘MARS’ played under flashing pyramids.  (Much more symbology can be found, but I will leave that to other sites) the mention is only to point out that Mars, is the ruler of WAR and ‘HAWKS’ are the well-known aspect of the war mongers in government.

Now we come to the four horses of the Apocalypse, which as readers of the first chapter of my book will know, means ‘a revealing’, thus the name ~ Revelations.

I can’t help myself but to look around and seek the clues the universe provides to give us an overview of things to come, a forecast.

Revelation 6

King James Version (KJV)

6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

² And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (1st horse) Cancer/Crab/MOON.

³ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

⁴ And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (ARIES/MARS) 2^nd horse

⁵ And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. (LIBRA) Venus (3^rd horse)

⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

⁷ And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come and see.

⁸ And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Death/Saturn/Capricorn)

⁹ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, how long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

¹¹ And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

¹² And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

(There will be four ‘blood-moons’ starting in April/Passover of this year and ending in April of the next. ~editor’s note)

¹³ And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

¹⁴ And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

¹⁶ And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

¹⁷ For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

One of the commercials during the Super Bowl was for, the Maserati Ghibli.  The Maserati symbol is the symbol for the Roman God, Neptune, who is given credit for creating the horse.  (Greek/Poseidon) Indeed, the symbol for the Charioteer Card in the Tarot is the mastering of the forces of nature, harnessing the duality depicted as white and black horses under the canopy of the stars.

This is also representative of our mind, and our ability to control the forces of our deeply emotional limbic system, of which the ‘Hippocampus’ is a part, and literally translates to `Sea-Horse’.

Ghibli is a noun, whose origin means: ‘a hot dust-bearing wind of the North African desert’.
 The commercial, which has very dark overtones, tells us to: ‘Strike while the Giants are sleeping’  What giants might they be?

You Can see this here: http://www.youtube.com/user/maserati?feature=watch

Now to return to revelations and the ‘four’ horses; though there are many layers of interpretations here, I will mention a few:  First, the four represent the ‘Cardinal directions’ and the four EL-ements.  (I will finish up my long promised treatise on Saturn and you will find it on this blog for a deeper explanation on Saturn.)

I will only add now for the added awareness of the reader, that Saturn is EL of the Old Testament, and this is why the Sabbath is on ‘Saturn’s Day’, more commonly known as Saturday.  He is also the EL of Egyptian god lore.  EL-ement then, becomes God-Mind, and the four elements, are simply the four powers/directions of the God-Mind.

This brings us to the obvious relationship of the four horses of the apocalypse, to the four directions (El-ements) and the wrath of God.

To continue, we are experiencing the world-shaking effects of UR-Anus (hEAven) which is in Aries, square to Pluto/Hades (hELl) which is in Capricorn.  As these cardinal squares form (The cardinal signs are: Aries/Mars, Cancer/Moon, Libra/Venus, Capricorn/Saturn) they also at times form what is known as the Cardinal Cross (SEE previous post for larger diagram) when other transiting planets or heavenly bodies are journeying in the other two cardinal signs, Cancer and Libra, which Jupiter/Zeus and Mars/Ares are now in respectively.

I have written quite a bit about this Cardinal Square and the Crosses in previous posts, but they are worth revealing further and deeper layers as we proceed through this time frame.

Readers familiar with previous posts already know that those who have planets in the cardinal signs, especially within the degrees of: 7-15 now, are experiencing major life transitions, some will push you into your greater self quickly, some will simply feel excruciating and devastating.

I know, I have a 13* Libra sun and 15* Mercury in the Twelfth house of my natal chart.

The horse/wood/yang years in the past have portended war and we can hope and pray that does not bring China and Japan to blows.

We also can expect from all the aforementioned: that this excess of fire stoked up by the wood year, may portend disasters of the volcanic variety (Mars and Pluto square) as well as further war auguring by the Hawks, electrical explosions that will bring power disruptions and worse, could be some earth shaking quakes and subsequent water displacement.

We are already experiencing one of the most difficult winter seasons in the states, and the rest of the planet is also under siege by heat, snow, fires and water deluge or the opposite, drought.
In particular, will be the first blood moon and the Uranus Square to Pluto/Cardinal Cross as the previous post elaborated on.  Then we look to the month of June, which is the month the horse governs in Chinese Astrology.

So, is the horse itself evil, (I don't think so) or shall we overcome this more sinister display with more positive images?  The horse needs freedom to be happy, but they also like to be brushed and loved.  Can we keep from having a stampede?  Let’s hope so.

Once in a Blue Moon

This blue moon, which last occurred in 2009, is the second full moon this month.

 

At 9:58AM This morning, Friday the 31, of the year 2012, we had a full moon at 8* Pisces.

This is the first of the Pisces Decans and is ruled by the planet Neptune.

In the first Pisces Decan; the energy of intuition, dreams, romanticism, and selflessness are emphasized.  Life looses its boundaries, and the walls dissolve.  We see the whole, the unity in all things and no longer are held hostage to the ego.

The optimism born in the new moon in Leo comes into full appreciation as we are swept into the deep Ocean of possibility with Neptune.  That wonderful world that sometimes borders on naivety washes away the wounds of the past, and we can see the pieces of the whole and the incidents that were necessary on our journey home.

Open up that romantic dream world and see the synthesis of life in its poetic beauty.  You can find yourself in lucid dreamland not only at night, but drifting off during daylight as the imagination catches the fire of the soul, and the wonder of the magnetic full moon cast’s her spell on the earth she revolves around with magic dust.

Use your intuition and tap into the feelings and emotions of others. Swim together in a blissful, childlike paradise and paint the world with Neptunian Grace.
