Now, though, we realize we are never truly in it alone. And are reaching out to join with others in mutually beneficial ways. Perhaps this is the place where we realize that the world doesn't revolve around just us. We are certainly encouraged to stop being short sighted and to consider our influence in the lives of other and vice versa. It looks like a balance. But it is an exchange.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiawNEtX2L2Q8ePXdv-lxXqFMJrSpYgxab3aRgOrMsNR-fP4luvq1eUNWHswSmXnODFprmpt8N06__Hw_q-nvAuyLnSYoRWtEJsHzm23ejQb4zbTWeQfo9q1n0-DhgPVj9Zz-KX7osmr0Vxbg81tJyvM0dJRd2PUKhy3TatGKZAHvnQe4GxDu2hwCD9/s502/lovers%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="502" data-original-width="300" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiawNEtX2L2Q8ePXdv-lxXqFMJrSpYgxab3aRgOrMsNR-fP4luvq1eUNWHswSmXnODFprmpt8N06__Hw_q-nvAuyLnSYoRWtEJsHzm23ejQb4zbTWeQfo9q1n0-DhgPVj9Zz-KX7osmr0Vxbg81tJyvM0dJRd2PUKhy3TatGKZAHvnQe4GxDu2hwCD9/w239-h400/lovers%202.jpg" width="239" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Lover card is the epitome of the
essence of Gemini. Here our word really is our bond. What is spoken
in exchange with “other” is done with the intention to share
knowledge and truth. To compromise. To agree. To join together. To bond. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This brings Gemini's words into
contractual oaths sworn before witnesses and “God” such as during
a marriage ceremony or prior to taking an oath of office. Its
sanctified or sacred. What is spoken between you and others is
recorded and official now. Agreements are made. Folks are called up
on past promises. Official reminders of debt due to contractual
obligations are revealed.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XXYlFuWEuKI" width="320" youtube-src-id="XXYlFuWEuKI"></iframe></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Following the advice of the Lover
involves keeping our word or being mindful and aware of the bounds of
contract. Oftentimes, we are put through experiences in which we are
forever changed whether oath is kept or not. The internal changes of
thought, perspective and the mind all occur within the container (or
boundary) of the agreement and trying to hold ourselves accountable
to the same.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This card advises alchemical changes do
bubble in the pot. Be wary of the words you speak over it.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">To join together in word or in bonded
agreement is to join together in the creation of new realities...new
lives...new chapters of existence. This brings co-accountability to
the dynamic of co-creation. We are responsible for ourselves and what
we share with others. We are equally responsible for our part in what
comes from that.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S5Y8tFQ01OY" width="320" youtube-src-id="S5Y8tFQ01OY"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Words frame our basic understanding of
existence. We involve ourselves in learning on individual levels in
regard to their use, construction, impact and exchange.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the Lovers stage of development, we
are skilled enough to build relationships and come to common grounds
with others. Beneath that, though, runs the framework of our own
language, communication, understanding, experience, maturity and
learning styles as well as how all those processes were originally
built. The dynamic of exchange is impacted by each participants
background, intentions and motives. All you can do is hold up your
end of the deal. Doing so is going to call you to tell the truth when
you'd rather throw a little white lie over something. </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The integrity
of your word will be tested as well as your willingness to be honest
with others. You will also discover the integrity and honesty levels
of those around you. As well as their willingness or ability to
compromise and communicate effectively.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LVHuErjO9js" width="320" youtube-src-id="LVHuErjO9js"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is a learning experience where
“others” morph into lab partners unaware sometimes. It can also
be a period of contracts and agreements. We are aiming for buried
hatchets...at least. Peacemaking. As advice you are encouraged to
open the door to negotiations, meditations and fair discussions that
center around facts and truth. You are encouraged to clear the air
and remain curious about how to make things more agreeable and fair
for all involved.</span></p></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga_XPmKPhnCGTQ1sf59YZwkm-kysTfWbE8k_Zl6AbgghMVIyrrEqyZ5YC3Cw0JvEE8RpuYBFnH7eZVxjycm4VbeSMPFVuiclq6fpt3q0mTvFl9KvPmaHEmkXmSqaJOsE1PONoz7bXFucFluC37gX7K36yM6eLqtN0eplhITvBFFhjnrAnFRdHQIvVU/s298/lovers%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="169" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga_XPmKPhnCGTQ1sf59YZwkm-kysTfWbE8k_Zl6AbgghMVIyrrEqyZ5YC3Cw0JvEE8RpuYBFnH7eZVxjycm4VbeSMPFVuiclq6fpt3q0mTvFl9KvPmaHEmkXmSqaJOsE1PONoz7bXFucFluC37gX7K36yM6eLqtN0eplhITvBFFhjnrAnFRdHQIvVU/w363-h640/lovers%203.jpg" width="363" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div>Josi Casehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09320229533135379346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936537625730011775.post-35755310879591614002023-01-06T09:41:00.002-05:002023-01-06T09:41:19.624-05:00Full Moon in Cancer 2023: The Threshold<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrqE558FEivFWfo_6X33ghT36zlOsx-Ak29BeX3axEZzRfUlqToIvZZTNhDNCf0Pkp1nktQewXB-n4F4F6mO7AqwLUHiBjMzj6l0qS_uePQzJ7nrYJAj6zZ2isj664-YITPp25gBLSM2h5XaPF29SlsAeOMApLuk6cXOikgoH6rNKFrAzsGhRel_LP/s1125/threshold.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1125" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrqE558FEivFWfo_6X33ghT36zlOsx-Ak29BeX3axEZzRfUlqToIvZZTNhDNCf0Pkp1nktQewXB-n4F4F6mO7AqwLUHiBjMzj6l0qS_uePQzJ7nrYJAj6zZ2isj664-YITPp25gBLSM2h5XaPF29SlsAeOMApLuk6cXOikgoH6rNKFrAzsGhRel_LP/w640-h426/threshold.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Our Full Moon in Cancer rolls on shore
just after 6 PM EST. Oddly, the road to her seems as if it's been
long. It has taken no longer than typical to move from the New Moon
phase into its culmination; yet, the previous New Moon in Capricorn
was rooted in 2022. Plus, Mercury is now retrograde—a cycle that
coincides with the culmination of the forever long Mars retrograde in
Gemini. These also harbor energies left from the previous calendar
year. Unfinished business. Delayed decisions. Re-calculations and
re-considerations greeted us at the doorway of 2023. And, are
ongoing.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Albeit not the January in which it was
recommended to “rocket” into, it is one that has afforded us an
opportunity to carefully consider our choices. As it should be. We
passed through similar territory at the beginning of 2022 with the
retrograde cycle of Venus. There we re-assessed our hearts. We likely
set goals around things we wanted to obtain or achieve. Best applied,
these intentions were birthed from a foundation of carefully
constructed values. Around something important to us. Something
healthy. Something sustainable. And, at its core, simple.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">January 2022 shares theme and thread
with January 2023 even though through personal reflection it is a
commonality to find oneself drastically displaced from many elements
that were strongly present in last years January. Maybe you've moved
residences since then. Gotten divorced, married or changed careers.
Perhaps you've experienced foundational change by choice or without.
Either way, it's happened for many through 2022. A phenomena that
seems to have echoes into 2019. Mostly occurring on the crest of
eclipses with lightning claps of Uranian energy and the finality of
Saturn.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">In my interactions, I've found more
than a handful of folks who were displaced in some way during 2022
only to find themselves dispatched right back to the same or similar.
Like a very disruptive boomerang situation through which the Universe
whispers to us “2<sup>nd</sup> chance...do it on purpose this time.
And, by employing what you've learned.” It reeks of weirdness,
truly.
</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The difference between the beginning
off the last and the current year, is that instead of re-considering
what it is we feel is valuable and or important, we are reconsidering
our plans and pathways toward what it is we want
because...well...life has happened. Change has occurred. We've
experienced circumstances that have changed our perspective, our
situations; offered us a chance to acquire wisdom and become more in
tune with the core of ourselves and our surroundings. As an example,
I set intention around building a strong sense of community during
January 2022's new moon. The Universe celebrated and rewarded my
efforts nearly all year until an eclipse on my MC this fall said
“Good job, Josi! Just...not here. It doesn't encompass a broad
enough territory” Which, to me meant that I needed to think bigger
and broaden the circle in a way that it was allowed to function more
freely and independently while extending inclusiveness more broadly.

</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">CANCER 17:</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">“A woman working busily at a spinning
wheel. Trance states as natural evolution. Being inside the inside,
yet staying under and weaving a web in time of remembrance and
forgetfulness and remembrance. Deeply involved with the personal, yet
coldly detached from whatever does not serve. Persuading, teaching,
invoking, insisting that what comes next, comes next, that we must
get on with the dance. This is a penetrating sensibility which finds
what can be brought forward and fosters it all-pervasively. The
collective voice of conscience at her post, attentive and
scrutinizing. A void in terms of letting everything be, and an
immense force to follow the thread of growth and development all the
way through, catching every stitch.”</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">My small-scale success showed me that
fulfilling my intention was possible. It's crash showed me just
exactly how important that intention was to me. And the path between
A and B taught me where the potential pitfalls were, what worked,
what didn't. It revealed strengths, skills, weaknesses, biases and
naivete. Did it crash? Or...was that just practice? All information I
will strongly remember as I embark upon another attempt? Or as I
approach the intent following the passage through a period of
personal growth, experience and re-alignment bearing new eyes that
still are not adjusted to full focus just yet.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MZjZI6eGtcM" width="320" youtube-src-id="MZjZI6eGtcM"></iframe></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">That clarity comes within the period
found between this Full Moon and the next lunar phase, the New Moon
in Aquarius on 1/21. The reflective energies of Mercury Rx and Mars
Rx will have ended by then. There will be some consideration of those
cycles beyond the New Moon dealing mostly with wrapping up loose ends
as these two planets travel their post-retrograde shadow. But, the
incoming two week period holds a definite shift in a new direction
that is birthed from the considerations and reflections we are
carrying with us on the way there. Information flops back and forth
as does motive and method. We still are not encouraged to jettison
off into the great wide open just yet. Instead, we are encouraged to
drink it all in. Every drip and drop of the experience and
information that is given to us during this 2 week period. All has
yet to be revealed. It's not time to decide. That time will come but
for now we are encouraged to deeply involve ourselves in our own
experience and selves allowing ourselves to recognize our own
successes and reconsider what we have judged as failure. Whenever the
Universe invokes a “pause” such as this there is always gold to
be found.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW0XoDQ2wJRTDb9NsNDvtQdzRwpjIQZ2O1KS9xC6vI0fHi9JVxtcr_-Mn0oMj78aUJRHvF06tXX1smsSVnTDfMKXuaNe5JK0UjyiBdgfhvPzyxpsnwELdh6pSdmZcMOCph7JrueKN7NucadlgjgegOPZMJYphgtc4qvMLLrekG6bT-G0bapzCg_NWt/s1225/suspended%20animation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1225" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW0XoDQ2wJRTDb9NsNDvtQdzRwpjIQZ2O1KS9xC6vI0fHi9JVxtcr_-Mn0oMj78aUJRHvF06tXX1smsSVnTDfMKXuaNe5JK0UjyiBdgfhvPzyxpsnwELdh6pSdmZcMOCph7JrueKN7NucadlgjgegOPZMJYphgtc4qvMLLrekG6bT-G0bapzCg_NWt/w326-h400/suspended%20animation.jpg" width="326" /></a></div><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">When we leave this suspended state of
animation and cross the threshold fully into 2023, we will leave
somethings behind us forever in favor of something we may not be
fully sure of just yet. It will be both exciting and scary while
being packed full of lessons, elations, celebrations and heart breaks
of its own---surely. Now is the time to savor the moment we are in to
capture the essence of now. Soak the entirety of the environment as
it currently exists for better or ill. It's fleeting but has
something for you take with you into the promise of the new. Beyond
this, time increases pace as while the call to action beckons. In the
now, we sketch re-drafts of dreams and find appreciation in our

<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes,
I call this the Samuel L. Jackson card...because, it kind of “wishes
a motherfucker would.” It's a little testy, stabby and edgy. It
usually isn't an ANGRY type of testy but one that is surely cocked to
show itself or prove itself in some way. You may feel defiant,
rebellious or spiteful. It's all energy. And this card packs a lot of
it. Key being, how you choose to use that energy and how humbly you
can hold it in respect of its power. Full of yourself or of spite
means you could be disrespecting what could be produced beneficially
of this type of power. You could be focusing too closely on egoic
ambition.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This
card stands best in defense of something important and fights only
for things that will make a big difference to a lot of people. It is
not well focused on self-serving acts. While traveling with this
card, we find ourselves at an advantage over others. It would be
foolish to give that up in way that risks our own advancement and
that of our troop members.

<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">You
could be currently facing a solo performance; but, it still feeds
into the whole show with repercussions threatening to impact more
than just you. Avoid collateral damage. The grand agenda is to remain
humble and to refrain from making it all about you. Also avoid the
temptation to go at everything with Herculean or super hero effort.
You have the wind at your back. If a threat emerges, you have the
power to knock it down. You are allowed to have confidence in that
and yourself. But, don't go looking for trouble or feel that you have
anything to prove. Deal with what you need to and keep a look out for
trouble or competition. Be aware. Defend your position without
drawing too much attention to yourself.</span></p>

<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">7's are
about having made some progress and emerging with prowess. They
challenge our moral fortitude and sense of adhering to goal or
purpose. The atmosphere can feel quite charged with energy, ambition,
anxiety or vigor. One of the challenges of the card is that our
values are challenged. We've risen and been given a boost or charge
of passion and ambition. Has that overcharged our egos to the point
that we have become greedy or lost our sense of purpose? Under this
card's guidance, we are likely to find out and are encouraged to
explore what tends to drive or motivate us during these times.
Mercury and Venus in retrograde advise us that self-reflection could
lead to a change in our personal tastes or values.

<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here we
may have to breathe through impulses and urges while making sure we
do not self-destruct, take action prematurely or impulsively. Focus,
grounding, balance and a solid platform from which to operate are of
huge benefit. Stay mindfully engaged and focused knowing that there
is likely going to a piece of you that is so pent up and ready to go
that it really does kind of “wish a motherfucker would” or give
you an excuse to just let some of it out. Resist that motherfucker.
Maintain conscious control of your own movements. Find something to
take the “top off” the energy, so that it is easier to maintain.
We can feed off the intensity in the atmosphere around us; but, we
also need to remain in control of our own moves and aware of our own
motivations/goals. Stand your ground. But, know what you stand for.

Moons are excellent for removing obstacles and blocks. This one is
particularly geared for an exploration of the emotional and personal
shadow/fear realm in effort to assess what motivates us prior to
taking action. Once we discover what is truly important to us we are
encouraged to use our position to our advantage and to exert our
passions in a way that aligns with our goals while also supporting an
end vision that benefits others in some way. It is from stabilization
of ourselves within that focus that allows us to perceive of what
challenges we may be up against next, decide our personal boundaries
for battle and focus in on what it is that needs to removed from our
paths forward.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>AN INDIAN GIRL INTRODUCES HER WHITE
LOVER TO HER ASSEMBLED TRIBE. KEYNOTE: </b><i><b>Inner rebirth
through a total acceptance of the primordial values manifest in the
human body and its natural functions. </b></i>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even as this symbol was formulated in
the clairvoyant’s mind, a few individuals belonging to the American
intelligentsia were trying to find in their absorption into the
culture of the Indian pueblos of the Southwest a solution to their
intellectual artificiality and personal emotional emptiness. Fifty
years later this process has gained great momentum, especially among
the disenchanted youth of our affluent middle class. The soul — or
in Jungian terms, the “anima”— is leading the sophisticated and
colorless (white!) intellect to a level of consciousness at which man
can again operate in tune with the vast process of the biosphere and
recover the simplicity and the inner peace which city life and
business deny. At this third stage of the twenty-fourth five-fold
sequence the situations presented in the two preceding symbols can be
seen combined and projected into a possibility of dramatic
transformation. What is shown here is an emotional and warm
commitment to the <b>RETURN TO NATURE</b> which today appeals so
strongly to the new generation, but which Jean Jacques Rousseau, many
great Romanticists and Gauguin long ago advocated and exemplified.

implications.</i> </b>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Birds
symbolize spiritual forces, and the aviary presents us with a picture
of these forces or desires contained within a mind open to the light
of psychic or Soul realities, and bringing joy and harmony to the
consciousness. The strenuous ascent represented by the preceding
scene changes into a picture of familiarity with inspiring
experiences. Yet this familiarity may also suggest a lack of
spontaneity and of the thrill of discovery. To use modern terms, the
peak experiences have become those of a high plateau, at which level
one may lose one’s sense of direction at times. This is the third
stage in the sixtieth sequence of phases which lead to group mastery
of cosmic energies. The youthful effort to reach the summits of
cultural and spiritual attainment has settled down into a complex
state of inspiration — a state which at times may bring confusion
because of the multiplicity of the voices to which one has become
open. One may speak here of </span><b>CLAIRAUDIENCE, </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">meaning
a capacity for being responsive to many inner voices. </span>

knowing where to go, what to do, how to do it, and where it all

the individual and collective destiny-territory that must be
navigated through. Placed strategically in the molten core of world
dilemma to remember how to get it right. Driven by a force of will
that is overwhelming. You are guided to be in the right place at the
right time for catching the drift of the tide we all are swimming
toward. Unconsciously and superconsciously in touch and in tune with
what is happening. Consciously, walking a tightrope between the
heights and the depths, and never sure while being sure. Given an
engraved destiny invitation to participate to the utmost in
collective cycles of renewal and to stay within your place of power
throughout. For you have gathered considerable awareness toward this
time of decision, and this vertical attunement is a welcome
ingredient--one vitally needed.</span></span></p>

distortions become possible, including hiding from yourself
everywhere in opposites and reversals. Exceedingly adept at using
consciousness falsely, for power or control, for hidden purposes or
out of strange curiosity. Most radically prone to playing out
patterns or syndromes that you are convinced will soon be taken away,
so must be binged upon first. Strange spiritual notions and
ideologies. You need to drop the vast bulk of your voluminous
self-indulgences in order to, after all, start to wake up and really
remember purpose and the whole story, free from self-vindication and
equally, self-condemnation </span>

again in your next earthly lifetime, the one who died before and the
one who lives now are brothers. The brother here now cannot forget
the brother who died. Your heart is heavy with the karmic stories of
your last previous lifetime. To actually enter upon this lifetime now
takes forever. The past, what was suffered and lost, is what speaks
inside. And in order to move through this extended interlude, you are
going to need to return to the past places and see them again.
Otherwise nothing goes right. Sometimes you have to go way back to
get on with anything. And sometimes the truth is bleak, painful,
tragic, and worth pursuing.</span></p>

higher and mightier, more commanding and domineering--which in turn
incites the adversary to more radical sabotage by denying your own
worth in a savage fashion. Each side pushes the other over the edge.
You are karmically at a crossroads, trying on for size strong
selfhood and its inevitable shadow of pervasive doubts and negations.
Learning and discovering arduously how to stay with yourself, even
while going against oneself. And thereby outlasting the adversary,
and proving that one can do the impossible, even when one is one's

Imagining and conceiving nefarious plans and designs within the
unconscious mind and blanket denial by the conscious mind. The
shadows, the dark, the unknown are saturated with menace, trickery,
deception, and long-built-up heavy emotions. All of this is too much
for the conscious self to even begin to claim or own. You are
essentially engulfed by deep shadows with outward shows of light. But
truly you cannot play it any other way. And even if this syndrome
perpetuates and gives great sanctuary to dark and mischievous
spirits, it is deeply experienced as a fate imposed by past mistakes
that this lifetime's self did not originate. And so the protestations
of innocence are accurate and sincere even while you are harboring
everything you crave to break from forever.

You are held within a witnessing posture that must balance the cosmic

Exceedingly adept at using consciousness falsely, for power or

radically prone to playing out patterns or syndromes that you are

Strange spiritual notions and ideologies. You need to drop the vast

free from self-vindication and equally, self-condemnation.

and non-verbal communication are represented here with imagination
also playing a key role. In many versions, a child is offering
another flowers. No words are spoken but that gift alone attempts to
convey some type of message. Working with the energy of the 6, gives
us opportunity to practice honing our intuitive skills, our dream
interpretation abilities and our abilities to pick up on non-verbal
communications, cues and nuance. We can learn how to better interpret
and convey body language and subtlety. As an adviser, the 6 invites
us to redirect our thinking away from negativity, self-doubt, fear
etc and toward healing the traumatized parts of us that may be asking
to be heard through these thoughts. In the meantime, we are supported

<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is
a great time to lay out foundations for larger projects. To “dream”
your way forward or to even become playful and creative in the
romantic realm. As the card occurs during a Lunar eclipse, it is
excellently applied toward intentions that aim to remove barriers to
the feelings the card embodies...contentment, security, curiosity.
Innocence, creativity, companionship and romance.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Episodes
of “daydreaming” or continually reflecting upon the same memory
over and over can be indications of mental burnout. Your brain needs
a break, too otherwise it starts to misfire. In addition to rest, our
brains, bodies and souls also need playtime. Losing track of time and
suspending the whole “adult” thing for a bit are types of things
the 6 of Cups suggests. Get lost in a book. Your favorite show. Art.
Music or watching the grass grow. Play time. Rest time. Obligation
free time. Unplugged.

Finally, we are encouraged to reach out and share with others or to
invite them in to partake. The card welcomes good company and warm,
gentle gestures.

gateway to unknown spaces. In many ways, this is brand new territory
with shuffling nuance manifesting new themes and threads into our
lives by way of the ecliptic. Eventually, we tumble into a Venus and
Mercury retrograde through December. Bringing an interesting twist to
the end of an eventful year? Few years? Folks lives, at varying
speeds and degrees of severity, have been twisted and ripped inside
out based on what I've witnessed (author not excluded).</span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">That's not to say that all the fall out
has been horrible. In some instances, gold fell right out of the
heavy iron laden bags we have been lugging around. Yet, the presence
of gold only served as momentary distraction from the continual
heaviness. The never ending ever building burden.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/crltUo_ZFbU" width="320" youtube-src-id="crltUo_ZFbU"></iframe></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">I feel like I've said it a million
times but Uranus seeks to hone and increase our abilities of
expression in the sign that he travels through. Taurus is known for
its stability, resolve, endurance, patience and awareness of what is
upright and valuable in this world. As Uranus travels this sign all
these foundations shake. In the residual wake of that, through forced
practice, our personal abilities in and awareness of these areas
strengthen or show their vulnerabilities.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the body, we will see the challenges
of these times manifest physically by way Taurean breakdown: the
shoulders, upper back and neck brought by stress, injury (especially
if you are a Chiron in Taurus native) or otherwise. Reflecting that
we are shouldering too much, carrying too much, holding too much too
tightly. Glycemic issues also have a tendency to rise to the fore
with Taurus showing us where we are unhealthily over or under
indulging. Neurological issues present with Uranus/Aqua, I've found.
Due the presence of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius, we may also
experience issues with ankles, circulation or accessory/compensatory
muscles.
</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-tRdBsnX4N4" width="320" youtube-src-id="-tRdBsnX4N4"></iframe></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The focus in Scorpio, however, is about
elimination which frees our energies toward regeneration. And, Uranus
is definitely energy that encourages us to break free. The energy
representing a need to do so can present through the digestive or elimination systems of the body during Scorpio season. It can reveal itself as a blockage, heaviness or darkening in the sacral or root chakra. But, taken on an alternate level, elimination becomes a task of
assessing all that we are carrying and bringing absolution to it in
effort to lighten our loads. To transform, transmute and churn it all
over into the soil to aid in fertilizing future life.

</span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes our fixed signs are a little
stubborn. In Taurus territory, folks are resistant to admitting they
cannot bear the weight of the world on their shoulders. In Aquarius
territory, folks are resistant to admitting they may not know the
answers. In Scorpio, our “hardest to kill” sign, we resist
releasing control, admitting vulnerability and purging, forgiving or
healing trauma.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">As our Nodal Axis begins to transition
from the mutable signs of Gemini and Sagittarius and into
Taurus/Scorpio, understanding our fixed nature is going to be of
great benefit. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus will be filled with pride
as we do. They have been pitching the prequel for this next chapter
for some time.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saturn in Aquarius will persist; soon,
rubbing rough against Uranus in Taurus. This births forced change; no
looking back evolution; new, sharp and swift regulation and sharp
defiance against the outdated, non-humanitarian, status quo or
non-inclusive. It involves Taurus so likely also involving matters of
resource, stability, the Earth, self-worth and tangible or intangible
value. Taurus is the treasure chest where we stash the good stuff.
Uranus is the wrecking ball coming through smashing a lot of it
because it is, perhaps, beginning to look like an unhealthy hoarding
scenario. It involves Aquarius so likely also rings with themes of
social justice, freedom, reform, regulation, suppression/repression,
humanitarianism, networks/tribes/friends, electricity and technology/internet.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The opening ecliptic season brings both
abrupt end and unexpected opportunity. Jupiter measures our adherence
to faith, our ability to employ foresight and remain optimistic as he
makes his final pass through Aquarius and second dive into Pisces.
It's a time when wish fulfillment is not only possible but plausible
due all this. Yet it comes at a time when it is so very hard to
believe in the magic of wishes or the potential spark of hope in all
this darkness. Driving that nail home comes as Mercury leaves
Libra for Scorpio waxing in opposition to Uranus. Key words of that
aspect quite literally include speaking things into existence. It's
rich. It's fertile. It brings hidden matters to light and manifests
in the Earthly plane (Uranus in Taurus) from Mercurial (written,
spoken, thought). All possibilities that our traumas, fears or
shadows taunt and laugh at us for believing in. Or potentials that we
shirk away from because we believe ourselves unworthy, incapable or
have lost all trust in ourselves and the support of our own
surroundings or, perhaps, even feeling forsaken access to beneficial
divine energies.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Which is completely the point.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"> So that we can be proven wrong.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">And instead shown our own abilities to
receive and manifest in the material world...it becomes personally undeniable but perhaps also cloaked in indescribable ways.
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KUGkTQfAiVg" width="320" youtube-src-id="KUGkTQfAiVg"></iframe></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">That's what this chapter under the New
Moon in Scorpio and across the ecliptic is all about. A chapter that
foreshadows our incoming experience of Venus retrograde in Capricorn
which wraps itself around a Mercury retrograde from Aquarius into
Capricorn. That phase comes post “getting what we want” or
“having our wishes come true” and is prepared to show us the good, bad
and ugly of all that. Encompassing fully a new understanding in matters of our relationship history, the structures of our morals,
values and self-worth. The Mercury retrograde smashed in the mix
allows us to rethink, re-adjust and re-align so that we can meet
ourselves in the present day instead of allowing past and out of date
versions of ourselves to steer our futures.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We discover that things that we thought
were important in our past are not as desirable or comfortable now.
We change our minds about what we want to have or hold. Our Venusian
nature flexes, strengthens, refines and re-defines itself during
Venus' long walk through the barren, quiet, dark winter forests of
Capricorn.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The New Moon in Scorpio slides in on a
lightning bolt on Thursday, November 4 at 5:15 PM EDT. The electric
charge of her is likely palpable. A feeling of quickly waking up to
certain things and becoming aware of emerging patterns and changes
will fog our everyday surroundings off and on. As the New Moon
progresses into the ecliptic and Mercury comes into closer proximity
of his opposition to Uranus we will feel the tempo take a swift
uptick. Along with that comes the potential for anxiety or calls for
quick decisions, on the fly tactics and innovation along with a
willingness to charge fearlessly into the future. There is no stopping the future. We might as well rise to meet it. But, to be able to rise we must release. Absolve. </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Essentially, we are floating in an energetic lull
right now. As big a lull as we'll get anyway from now until about
mid-December. These times will go swiftly and will not be without
their own catalytic events on personal and collective levels which
means now is a the time to ground, set routines, check ourselves,
repair what we know to be in need and position ourselves in a way
that we are ready to take off. Knowing what is important to you and
what it is you want in your own future are valuable assets under this
Moon. It insures that we are pointed in the right direction with this
astrological launches. Use this brief lull to your own advantage.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The way it is we are suggested to do
that is through the advice of the 5 of Swords</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj1e2MMop7m0E1ns1Wm7XqzQw5GpdzC2SIi6RGz_SHwsaDjimyMUCYRe3tdIwMM2dkVeDEaJdVbT68hbNFHKyxSawNcQv2FL5JZbBU0AWp5H67kxloPUmrqO0KWKzfUxQqUaGt-lD2KgVZsKdlfZlMQrDRH_68myk9oCXwYiuKuYBWe_vpwy_JOOFCU=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1183" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj1e2MMop7m0E1ns1Wm7XqzQw5GpdzC2SIi6RGz_SHwsaDjimyMUCYRe3tdIwMM2dkVeDEaJdVbT68hbNFHKyxSawNcQv2FL5JZbBU0AWp5H67kxloPUmrqO0KWKzfUxQqUaGt-lD2KgVZsKdlfZlMQrDRH_68myk9oCXwYiuKuYBWe_vpwy_JOOFCU=w370-h640" width="370" /></a></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">5's are uncomfortable energy in any
suit. In the suit of Swords, of course, we are looking at the mental
realm (another sign pointing to the budding relevance of Mercury) and
likely dealing with matters of sharpness...pain, conflict, loss.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The card itself is also reflective of
the atmosphere we may find ourselves within the confines of this
lunation. In the lull. The battle is resting but not over. We are
challenged to gather and prepare for the chapters that come next by
collecting from the fall out what it is we think will help us in the
face of the inevitable. That brings about our struggles with
identifying what is important and what it is we feel we will need to
achieve it. Which leads to an opportunity to inspect the sturdiness
of our own personal values, integrity, resolve and ability to stay
within their boundaries as we participate in this battle.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The 5 of Swords is also a quiet card
indicating that it's a good idea to keep your thoughts, plans and
ideas to yourself right now. There may be few you can trust and there
is certainly potential for folks around you to be operating under
their own secret agenda. Again, here comes Mercury in Scorpio. That
energy most definitely has its secrets. </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Under this New Moon lightning
pierces the sky by way of circumstance giving us glimpses of our true
selves in its brief illumination. It's up to us to determine if what
is revealed fits the bill of who it is we are trying to be or what
have you. If it isn't we are given opportunity to restack our own
decks. If it is, we are given opportunity to strengthen and hone our
own sense of character and its expression.
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Know the need to move forward carefully
and cautiously still exists. Also know that there are things we can
learn from the currently terminating phase that will help in the days
to come. The scene in this Swords card shows us that time may not be something
that we have to spare. It also depicts that we are challenged in the
face of either a victory or defeat both of which can prove themselves
fleeting. Both sides of that sword (victory/defeat) slice out and
reveal the truth of our own character. Taking an active hand in
defining who it is we are in either victory or defeat is just good
practice under this energy. Know that the shadow impulses of those
scenarios will be quite irresistible though. We may want to gloat in
the glory of our victory. We may sulk and nurture our defeat using it
as trophy representation of how it is the universe is out to destroy
us or as reason to seethe with vengeance and despair. So, know that
steering ourselves toward deliberate undertakings of character
definition, maturity and self-control will not be easy. We build our
own consequences here...</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We manifest the seeds that will bud
into our futures on this barren field of broken fucks and dreams.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Whether we realize, admit, acknowledge
it or not.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Be smart.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Power struggles and challenges in
self-control. That is what the past year plus some has felt like with
Pluto in Capricorn square my Sun in Libra. Of course, the whole story
is much more complicated than just boiling it down to a few words.
However, what I've mentioned are the obviously thematic.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also quite obvious is how much my life
has changed while in weird ways also remaining exactly the same. Have
you ever heard a story about a structure fire that devoured
everything except...oddly...one or two quite relevant objects? A
bible? A special family photo? A letter? If so, then that is quite
comparable to what Pluto has perpetrated in my life since way back
when he was squaring Uranus in Aries.
</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Those elements of my life that have
endured the apocalyptic machinations of Hades are special. In most
instances they were not as noticed or as appreciated PRE-rapture ala
Pluto. That's the catch. Pluto, the destroyer anoints untouchables. I
can almost hear him saying “Nope. You don't need this, this OR
this” as he incinerates any semblance of what was your life. But,
I've also heard him catch his breath in awe as he shrouds something
so cherished in protection from his own flames.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever had to do that? Protect
something you love from your own self?</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U1Ov4c7cxZ4" width="320" youtube-src-id="U1Ov4c7cxZ4"></iframe></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pluto and his influences bear relevance
during the Hunter's Moon on Wednesday. He forms in Cardinal t-square
with the Sun and Mars in Libra and Moon in Aries. That building
pressure begs to be steered but instead the pressure squishes outward
into the house where Cancer rules the chart. Into the intuitive,
nurturing, empathic, emotional and watery realms of us bearing
residual impact on matters of health be they physical, mental,
emotional or spiritual.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Though the sign of Cancer sits largely
barren at this time, her energies point us straight back to the Full
Moon in Aries herself. The youthful wide eyed sprite of a Moon known
for her bravery, tenacity and initiative....11 months out of the
year. Except for Libra season when the mirror flips and calls her
difficult, stubborn and pushy because these behaviors are more often
deemed as bullish, unrefined and impolite. Especially by those who
may fear such a creature or feel challenged by one. And, dear
merciful heavens, the pearl clutching that happens when our robust
Aries' natures dare to show anger or stand up in its own defense.
Every single planet in Libra just blushed at the mere thought of any
of this.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iwzaIEmaW0s" width="320" youtube-src-id="iwzaIEmaW0s"></iframe></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">But. You know what? Anger is a
legitimate emotion. It is what folks do using anger as the excuse
that causes issue. Or due the explosions and implosions caused by
unhealthy repression of anger. We are allowed to be angry. And, hurt.
And to confess personal needs and desires met and satisfied or no. We
are allowed to turn off the external voices and to cloak the hall of
mirrors in effort to really feel what we are feeling. We are not
allowed to escape the consequences of our actions in response to
those feelings. That sense of personal accountability is likely felt,
too with Saturn lingering just barely out of reach of a square with
this Moon...but getting closer. Plus, with Jupiter in trine to
Sun/Mars and sextile this Moon, there is a drive to do the right
thing unless one's humility is non-existent. In those cases, it'll be
“go big or go home” with a chance for a nice fireworks show at the
end.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RjYRSm33RsM" width="320" youtube-src-id="RjYRSm33RsM"></iframe></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">With this much Cardinal energy in the
sky, we are gifted with not only the ability to control ourselves but
also the desire to do so. Main issues being, Mercury still hiccuping
in direct station while Mars, our Moon's ruler sinks in his
detriment. It feels like quivering in stasis at a fork in the road
asking ourselves “which way do we go?” Making decisions is not a
Libra strength because the sign has a tendency to over-brain,
over-logic and over-give-a-damn-about what other folks may think.
Yet, thinking and logic are not where our answers come from at this
time. Instead they seep in through the energies of Cancer and the
Aries Moon expressing via the visceral, the instinctual, the
intuitive/psychic, the gut-driven, the reflexive and the protective.
Even these responses, though, need to be filtered and processed due
the co-presence of things like malefic attachment, shadow, fear or
trauma courtesy of Pluto. All of which places us directly in need of
the advice from our Guide at this lunation, the Two of Wands.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxOcJvkm_oOBig0cMy23Z6HV6g0IFCMdflrVZ12nK8LQazOwE9MriZUEfHbpNKjupx3ZpWvTEOgma28e4yGaGUTZ9VCsh88maLfHAS4E_xyh6dSb6ww7YdZF1_v6LVV0z6JWwBAb6ushyRYRraKuCw2t5qLUU2BRZVMKOlV_9bb-5tBzYAvRIDDHF_=s342" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="342" data-original-width="198" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxOcJvkm_oOBig0cMy23Z6HV6g0IFCMdflrVZ12nK8LQazOwE9MriZUEfHbpNKjupx3ZpWvTEOgma28e4yGaGUTZ9VCsh88maLfHAS4E_xyh6dSb6ww7YdZF1_v6LVV0z6JWwBAb6ushyRYRraKuCw2t5qLUU2BRZVMKOlV_9bb-5tBzYAvRIDDHF_=w231-h400" width="231" /></a></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The two of wands is like having an
angel on one shoulder and a demon on the other each whispering
different ways for you to go about things. Tell them both to shut the
hell up so you can choose the best course of action on your own.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Two's often call for balance. From the
suit of Wands we are balancing physical expression of energies such
as rest against production. This can also be indicative of stretching
your energy across more than one activity or it could even mean
joining forces.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Most often the central figure in the 2
of Wands sits or stands motionless in contemplation just like we may
find ourselves at this Moon as we consider our options. It is OK to
take a pause in contemplation or consider ways in which you can
cooperate with the energies of others. But, outright procrastination
and choosing your direction based on anything other than true
intrinsic motivation is highly discouraged. It is OK to take your
time with this, also.
</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The energies surrounding this Moon will
likely feel hurried and a sense of rush will continually build
particularly as we enter the ecliptic. Deliberately and defiantly
slow down whenever safely possible. Pull everything back to a
manageable pace. Then, identify what it is you are trying to do while
also truthfully assessing your motivations. Remember you are allowed
to pick your battles as well as change your mind and initiatives if
what you find in your assessments prove unsavory, shadow ridden or
unresolved trauma driven. Also bear in mind that 2's are young in
their suits. We may feel as if we don't know everything we need to
know about what we are doing or its potential at this point. That's
ok too! We are new at this. Still practicing. We are aiming for
grace within the gyroscopic final Decan of Libra even if the
influences of Mars and the Moon may make us feel as if we need to
race to the finish line in Ricky Bobby. “If you ain't first you're
last" fashion. Soothe that sense of competition and any tendency to
succumb to impulse with a desire to finish in your own time and in
your own way without being catalyzed or manipulated into action, afraid to reach out for help when you need
it or hesitant to try something in new way</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As long as it's wholly your way. Not Doug's around the corner. Nor Mary's down the street. Not resulting from what the elusive "they" did to you in the past or because that same "they," the Devil, the Angel or anger "made" you do it. </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our New Moon in Libra dawns on
October 6 just a few minutes past 7 AM EDT. It's Libra. Of course it's fashionably late for sunrise service. Fresh Luna whirls into our atmosphere twirling the skirts of The High Priestess. She mysteriously manages to stay in rhythm even though falling right in the middle of the final
Mercury retrograde of the year. As a matter of fact, rhythm is likely to make more sense than rhyme as we move forward.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This lunar cycle begins as Mercury completes his second
square to Pluto in Capricorn (10/1) and trine with Jupiter in Aquarius (10/3). Each
of these planets, too, moving more slowly these days as they chug
into their direct stations emitting more focused and concentrated
energies. As a matter of fact, Pluto stations direct less than a half
an hour after this New Moon. Jupiter and Mercury will each station
direct on the morning of October 18 with Saturn falling in line on
the 10<sup>th</sup>. In our more immediate future, though, Mercury now travels toward an inferior conjunction with the Sun (10/9) and a conjunction with Mars (10/9) both in Libra. It's an active and shifting sky in which we are
still, in some ways, held captive to the energies at hand as we
were under the Hanging Man. With the High Priestess guiding
us, it's a given that we are encouraged to operate on very subtle and
quiet levels while paying very close attention to our environment
while gathering up every bit of insight and information it has for
us. Information IS incoming and we will be quite prone to act upon it. Yet, mindfulness is quite key as aligning the timing of our engagements with the tempos of the universe will be quite crucial. </span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wyQUCYl-ocs" width="320" youtube-src-id="wyQUCYl-ocs"></iframe></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The High Priestess has secrets. She
advises this is a good time to keep your plans and what you know
mostly undercover. Hold your cards close to your chest. Her presence
also implies we will need to lean into our own guidance systems,
faith and intuition to find “Truth” during this Moon. In the
external world information is sparse, too prolific or misconstrued.
As we travel with Mercury Rx, this is certainly a time to speak less
and listen more.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The High Priestess signals a time in
which matters of quiet and spirituality should be prioritized. This
is a time for delving into studies of a spiritual nature be they
focused upon astrological theory, mythology or theology. Studies of
symbolism and the intuitive language/dreamscape are favored under the
High Priestess. She does allow for sharing of the basic bones of
information that you find with others. But, it's not a time to be
openly or publicly doing so. This is time to lean into trusted
circles where we can speak freely and trust the audience. It would be
rare for the High Priestess to appear as a public spokesperson or to
give a speech, for example. Her partner the Heirophant would. But,
the High Priestess performs ritual in solitude or with a small circle
of followers or co-worshippers.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our Priestess is the keeper of the
stories of matrimony and matriarchy which has resided quietly in the
shadows for centuries.Delving into matters of ritual and meditation
are wonderful expressions of her energy. Asses your altars and
freshen things up. Look to your daily routines for ways to help them
feel sacred. Enrich your activities with intention and purpose. <br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F0pakH-lELw" width="320" youtube-src-id="F0pakH-lELw"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Priestess conducts much business
under cover in a cult-like fashion as she quietly flows with the
phases of the Moon. She is finely tuned into the more subtle
languages such as non-verbal communication, symbolism, synchronicity
and intuition. Information flows in more freely when she is around
but we have to kind of “pierce” the veils with initiative and
curiosity first. Devoting ourselves to a little of time everyday to
turn everything off and just listen to silence is just good practice.
Sensory deprivation works very well under the Priestess, also.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is also a time to treat our bodies
like a temples. As if they are sacred (because they are). Physical,
mental, spiritual and emotional ills could present during this time
cluing us into where healing and self-care efforts are necessary.
Physical detoxes and declaring a “vow of silence” in certain
areas, toward certain people or around certain topics is also
supported. The Universe will also be rich with symbolic information
during this Moon. So, ensure you remain observant of all you see,
feel and hear around you and watch for instances of de ja vous,
divine intervention and synchronicity. Be prepared to note the
unmentionables and the indescribables but we also need to be prepared
to keep most of what we uncover under this cycle to ourselves holding
steady while Mercury rewinds and much of our outer sky begins to pull
into station in preparation to turn about.

binding and heavy-duty circuits and moving into and through them,
grasping hold of the guiding influence of ever-greater circles of
allegiance. Leading eventually toward mutation and evolutionary
breakthrough of the first magnitude.

<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Virgo
is the farmer. Up before dawn. In uniform. Callused hands around a
warm cup. Mind lost in contemplation of the day.

<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">She is
the Hermit. Alone and wise. Calm and self-advised. Caressing the
natural world in its raw vulnerability while marveling at the wonder

the mechanic who intuitively knows where that weird sound is coming
from and how to fix it. Dirty boots. Clean heart. Willing to help on

a little too much. But, believing that one's harvest is best when
shared as is love, humility and tenderness...that may or may not fall
on the shoulders of something that feels like tough love. Or
persnickety preferences and advice merely meant to help you heal to
assist you to prune away the unhealthy in effort to uncover the
fruit. Virgo worries--sometimes most about what is not good for you.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our New Moon comes forth in the rich
pitch of night on the East Coast (9/6 at 8:52 PM). The dark Moon
heralds fertility with Mars in Virgo and Venus in Libra both
aspecting Pluto. Yet, our chart ruler, Mercury has an iron fist in a
velvet glove armed to gracefully but efficiently remove that which is
not conducive to growth of the whole. The crops are bearing fruit but
there are deadened and diseased petioles clogging the air flow to the
plant. There has been plenty of rain bringing signs of late season
molds and fungi. All this must be cleared away.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's dirty work though. Libra doesn't
enjoy dirty. Yet with the grit of Virgo and tenacity of Pluto forcing her
hand, she can find purpose and justice in the removal of debris that
serves only to block or steal precious nutrients from what is soon to
become the abundantly yielding field she has tended to all year.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">New Moons are for new starts. With
Mercury entering his pre-retrograde shadow just after this lunation,
we know there will be some reworking and realigning of the details as
we move forward. Most important rewiring taking place within the
framework of our own perspective and mental realm. Thankfully, a
common sense and practical Earth trine from Uranus in Taurus can help
us bring evolution to our methods and sharpening to our skills. That
doesn't make the path forward easy. But, it does make it promising if
we are willing to remain flexible and open to new methods.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's ok to start with one step in the
right direction. Taking our time to carefully consider our options is
actually a recommendation of this Moon. Then, we take the next step.
And, the next until the new is just as well worn as Virgo's work
boots.
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDKd-2-xiWmGSwtdXDlAd__SeqVD1lJgvIRUliHEfq2yrl_FzHP-NBoAJyhr24Xgr8tEDyIsNk5H4YedPe5Q0RdMWd6lcL1G0xMwlX-ZOFBNdg-wmTVpA-ZwkemcBR05-B8W6gYjRMJQU/s600/work+boots.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="297" data-original-width="600" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDKd-2-xiWmGSwtdXDlAd__SeqVD1lJgvIRUliHEfq2yrl_FzHP-NBoAJyhr24Xgr8tEDyIsNk5H4YedPe5Q0RdMWd6lcL1G0xMwlX-ZOFBNdg-wmTVpA-ZwkemcBR05-B8W6gYjRMJQU/w400-h198/work+boots.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our Guide for this lunation is the 8 of
Swords. Advice from this card always includes some sort of
entanglement in the information realm. It could be that we have been
misinformed or that we have become trapped in a web of our own
making. The fix for that is to remove the blindfold while carefully
and precisely extracting yourself from the enmeshment one thread at a
time.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Find the facts. See where you've been blinded or bound. Develop a new awareness for your surroundings employing all
of your senses...not just what you see. Or think you know. At this
point, things are so befuddled and entangled that Virgo's humility
demands we understand that we know nothing. But we can learn. We can do better.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once the mental pruning begins, the
truth of the path ahead gains clarity. As piece by piece the debris
and clutter are removed, the beauty of what we've really grown is
allowed to shine. Flourishing in freedom from the loss of what was
unhealthy, cumbersome, complicated or impractical. Detoxified and
glowing in its pristine maturation.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Untended and the weeds persist. The
mental thorns thicken walling out sunlight and air. Persisting musty
darkness overtakes the year's efforts yielding only the products of
neglect. Reaping fruit of shame led by initiatives immobilized by
fearfulness and hindered by self-doubt. Dis-eased.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The endurance we need is present. The
focus and grit accessible. We are the only species audacious enough
to challenge the call of the seasons birthed in the natural world.
And, right now, the Great Mother calls for a sharp sickle and a hard
prune.

hands him what she has woven for him out of spiritual threads. This
is the last stage of the thirty-third sequence which also ends the
eleventh scene, “Characterization.” This scene began with the
revelation in a portrait of salient features in a man’s face. It
ends with symbols which bring out the ultimate validity of the many
efforts of generations of men toward the building of a beautiful and
significant <b>CULTURE</b>. The Man of Culture is, in the deepest and
best sense of the term, the Aristocrat. He is the flowering of a line
of ancestors who have accepted responsibility for a group or
community. Likewise, the true “disciple” is the blossom that
crowns a long series of incarnations

takes many forms. Whether by karmic predisposition or by bloodline or
both, being granted the ultimate pedigree for serving effectively.
Those who have ruled can serve. Those who have mastered can give
themselves over. Those who have attained can extract the essence of
what they have come to before and utterly discard the rest. Showered
with blessings. Filled to overflowing with the streams of your
background, you are yet definitely motivated to use all this as a
springboard and not to lean back on it. You feel the impulse to renew
gifts, treasures and mysteries--to revitalize the old streams, to
make relevant and essential what has previously proven to be steady
and enduring. And most of all, endowed with a fluency in drawing from
the well something fresh and new, and being so at home in bringing it
all through that you become an individual here in the midst of
things, who just happens to know and be familiar with just about
anything you need to access from the well that never runs dry. </span>

the transmission of knowledge in a special cultural setup.</i> This
is a rather peculiar symbol for this phase of the process, and it
reveals a rather humorous approach to what man’s mind can
accomplish at this stage. However, there seems to be no valid reason
to make the image into some kind of a caricature, or to
sentimentalize it by referring to a “kind old professor.” Rather
one should analyze the picture in order to discover its basic
elements. The professor has dealt so much with books that he has
greatly strained his eyes; in days when bifocal lenses were not
widely used, he had to peer over his glasses in order to see his
students. The symbol thus simply reveals two aspects of the condition
of “professor-ship” — that is, of being able to transfer to the
young generation the vast sum of knowledge accumulated by the past.
The need to absorb this enormous amount of book knowledge affects the
mind as well as the eyes; in order to meet the demands of the
turbulent youth, the teacher in a sense has to look above this
knowledge and to see his students simply as human beings. This is the
first symbol in the thirty-ninth five-fold sequence. It deals at the
intellectual level with the teaching of accumulated collective
knowledge, and the problem posed by the acquisition of that
knowledge. This is what<b> INSTRUCTION</b> means — a process not to
be confused with “education.”

answers to Mercury in Libra just on the cusp of entering his
Pre-retrograde shadow. That tells us that information will expand,
contract and likely flip flop as we move forward into September. As a
matter of fact, much of our time ahead includes different parts of
the sky coming to a standstill as our outer planets begin to reach
their direct station points. First, though, Mercury's 3rd retrograde
of 2021 will bring us back into the previous Mercury shenanigans from
his backwards journeys earlier this year. The season of the Hermit
would have us pause for introspection. Our guide, the 8 of Swords,
for this lunation advises much the same. You are only as trapped as
you think you are.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Separate yourself from the bullshit
cutting one little thread at a time. Someone might be lying to you.
Or, you might just be trapped in your own mind. Either way, it's time
to shed some light on things in effort to set yourself free. I've
seen this card come up for writer's block or when a conversation
comes to a dead end. Sometimes we can be truly lost for words. But,
often, it's the emotional aspect that is clouding the issue. We are
afraid. They are afraid. No one is seeing the facts and sometimes
everyone is scared to death to even mention the elephant in the room.
Someone's going to have to address that tusked beast though. It just
might be you.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X2LTL8KgKv8" width="320" youtube-src-id="X2LTL8KgKv8"></iframe></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">There may be some difficult things for
us to work through on a personal level that involve thought demons or
machinations of unresolved trauma/shadow. There may be facts that we
are unable to see just yet because we don't want to look at them.
But, we will. All in good time because we are going to be sick of
feeling stuck eventually.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">I often hear folks declare “Enough”
when this card comes up too. And if that's something that needs to
happen, have at it because nothing moves under this card until the
air is cleared. Wipe the emotional cobwebs from your eyes. Think
about the situation and consider it from all angles as you step away
from the water and out of the fog. Limber yourself up by introducing
new material to the mental realm in hopes of bringing in outside
clarity.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">8's can certainly point to lingering
fear in the air. So, look for that entrapment in your own thoughts to
ensure there are not scripts in there that need to be purged or
brought to a new level of maturity. Gut check liars, dude. Ain't
nobody got time for that.

boundaried and a bit lighter as we wake up this morning. She finds
Uranus Rx by sextile at 6:34 AM helping her feel more than equipped
to handle what the day holds. Meanwhile, Mars in Virgo waxes into
opposition with Neptune. This can skew our motivations and cause
direct line initiatives to spin out. Just as the crab moves,
Mars/Neptune calls for indirect and subtle action leaving the door
wide open for encountering slippery intent or covert ambitions.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The mix is wildly artistic and creative
to a degree that instant manifestation is not out of the question.
So, the key here would be to channel your focus toward either what
you want to build or (better yet) clear out and purge while keeping
your goals clear.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Mars/Neptune opposition also
embodies the energy of nurse and patient. That is an indication that
boundary and a resistance to transference and projection are
paramount. Serve without over self-sacrifice realizing that a
tendency to continually go above and beyond to the point of
self-detriment could be cue toward issues with self-worth and/or ego.
Balance a tendencies of toxic enabling with a trajectory of
empowerment. If falling on the patient or in need of that side of the
equation, know that surrender and allowing help to be received are
preview of your own potential issues of self-worth and/or ego. Don't
be surprised if you find yourself in both sets of shoes today.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">A bit of discomfort or awkwardness
could find us in our early evening hours as the Moon in Cancer
squares off with Venus in Libra. Emotions can get in the way of
social decorum and we are shown how some of the issues raised in
regard to self-worth and ego bear direct impact upon how we relate to
others.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">With conscious self-direction and a
willingness to adhere to the Gemini North Node's agenda of learning
and communication, we can smooth out personal wrinkles exacerbated by
Moon/Venus by employing the Moon/Neptune trine just after dark. There
is room for re-imagining the situation, forgiving, processing the
emotions, letting or even forgetting. Then, as the Moon finds Mars by
sextile we can start tinkering with solutions to what has been
uncovered during what looks to be a Moon with the goal of maturation
and wisdom.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our day starts with a spry and fresh
Leo Moon who meets with Jupiter by opposition early. This is a
balancing act between individuality and fitting into the schematic of
the collective. There is a tug of war between what we may feel is
best for ourselves and popular opinion.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Plus, beneath the surface of the day,
Mercury makes an inconjunct to Pluto and Mars tweaks in biquintile to
Chiron. This is edgy. Potentially catalyzing self-doubt or twinges of
paranoia. Whatever the issue, the Moon to Jupiter opposition makes it
bigger. It can just as easily represent ambition toward healing and
resolve to overcome one's own fears.
</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon is briefly VOC following her
contact with Jupiter. She enters practical and health conscious Virgo
at 10:56 AM. The rest of the day is geared toward production, fixing,
serving and caretaking as Venus waxes in opposition to Neptune.
Hearts melt and mirages are birthed.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">With Mars, Venus and the Moon in Virgo,
our Sea God and his chaos and confusion are well tended. However, it
will be important to balance out self-sacrifice in service with
self-care and time for rest. Venus surely adores being of help but
doesn't need to overtax herself to the point that she becomes the one
in need. Boundary works well here as well as balancing compassion
with discernment.
</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just before the final hour of our
Monday clicks away, the Moon and Mars join forces by conjunction in
Virgo. This allows us to clean up any messes the potential tidal
waves of Venus to Neptune may have created. There is determination
here to prioritize and get everything into good working order.
Worries can certainly manifest as anxiety and troubles can rumble in
the belly. So, it's a good idea to gear diet toward something gentle
and ground worry in tinkering for solutions, instead.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Today's
Virgo Moon has a quite active ruler. Uncertainty and befuddlement may
return as Mercury finds Chiron just before Noon. This follows the
creation of a Yod that holds the Moon in Apex between Saturn Rx in
Aquarius and Chiron in Aries. Whatever is found askew we feel a
personal responsibility toward addressing it. Our success in that
depends upon our ability to remain flexible and our capacity for
initiative. Mercury's minor aspect to Chiron could bring past efforts
to the fore that fell flat. However, the Moon's trine to Uranus in
Taurus shortly after offers practical insight that could be quite
useful in finding a common sense solution as long as we are willing
to try something new. </span>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tonight,
Mercury in Leo opposes Jupiter Rx in Aquarius. This marks the
half-life of our Mercury/Jupiter cycle that began earlier in the year
(Feb/March) when Mercury experienced his first retrograde cycle of
2021. Ideologies and thought patterns from the first of the year are
challenged as well as our theories about who it is we are and where
it is we want to go. This could also serve as prequel for our 2</span><sup><span style="font-weight: normal;">nd</span></sup><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Full Moon in Aquarius on the 22</span><sup><span style="font-weight: normal;">nd</span></sup><span style="font-weight: normal;">
as it falls just a few clicks away from the degrees of that lunation.
Plus, ego and idea could become rather inflated and attached to
personal opinion here. Mercury and Jupiter interactions this year
have been quite personally poignant for many. That only makes sense
if we stop to consider that each of them rule an end of our nodal
axis. As what we know is challenged and our willingness to learn
taxed, Mercury and Jupiter frame important life lessons and sometimes
major decision changes. It all, again, calls for flexibility while
under a Virgo Moon humility and the rolling up of our sleeves may
also be requirements. Our ability to finagle our perspective may also
play a role. Be sure you are not looking too closely or not closely
enough. Be mindful of the details. But, don't get lost in them. </span>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We
dream deep tonight as psychic and physical boundaries become highly
permeable under a Moon/Neptune opposition. This can be emotional and
vulnerable or fill our night with water-colored images that, once
inspected, reveal what we have denied, sacrificed or forgotten. </span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This morning feels a little more
settled as the Moon in Virgo finds Venus by conjunction 6:16 AM. This
is especially true if we have prepared our morning routine to run
smoothly. However, it's likely something isn't working right be it an
appliance, our schedule, our methodology or the way we have stacked
our priorities as Mars in Virgo squares the nodal axis.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The balance point for the mutable
t-square created here falls in Pisces which may call us to surrender,
creativity, forgiveness or even prayer.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Focus and resolve restore as a lunar
trine to Pluto pulls us toward productivity (7:22 AM). From here the
busy Virgo Moon rests until entering Libra at 4 PM. Under the Void
Moon, there is certainly a feel of something being off or missing as
Venus finds Saturn by sesquisquare at 9 AM.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once the Moon awakens, Mercury shifts
into his domicile of Virgo at 5:57 PM. This shifts our perspective
from “What about me” to “What can I do to help.” Mercury is
very settled in this sign and will soon start making plans and
scheduling tasks. The caution is to avoid becoming overly critical.
Mercury's entrance into the sign of the Virgin ignites an official
stellium. Disallow pessimism to take over. Instead, work your way
forward step by step.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before nightfall, Venus in Virgo finds
Pluto in Capricorn by trine. Under a Libra Moon, yearnings for
partnership and luxury may grow exponentially. Cravings, in general,
may blossom. Libra Moon is known for having a bit of trouble deciding
what it is she finds comfortable or satisfying. But, the Venus/Pluto
trine makes what it is she wants undeniable. Demure gives way to
desirous before the day is out.

and accountability cloak our well poised Libra Moon this morning as
she finds Saturn by trine at 8:33 AM. She moves on to oppose Chiron
after lunch which can make her feel as if she is not enough alone or
that she doesn't matter. That stirs the pot on Mercury's inklings
while in biquintile to Pluto before dawn this morning. Grace and
leaning on established networks of allies and friends pulls us
through.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Friday rises ominous for more reason
than it's numerology. Our Libra Moon is riddled with temptation and trial by
fire by way of a challenging and fearful square to Pluto just before
midday. Vulgarity may offend but slip out of lips anyway. Shadows
fall as do our socially acceptable masks.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are held accountable for our
missteps and mischievousness as Mars finds Saturn by inconjunct at at
12:28 PM making self-control an imperative. Later, whatever feelings
are catalyzed by the morning expand as the Moon finds Jupiter by
trine. This is like the little girl with the little curl right in the
middle of her forehead. We can feel really good or really horrible
this evening depending on the choices we make this morning. Confront
your fears, tame your demons and do the dirty work of trauma healing
for best results. The Moon rests in Void status following this trine.
The plot thickens as she enters Scorpio at nightfall. Whether a
horror story or one of survival is crafted depends largely upon the
individual no matter how much we want to place blame elsewhere.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Monday, July 26</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon in Pisces leaves her dreamy
conjunction with Jupiter from overnight waking up to oppose Venus in
Virgo at about 9 AM EST. Oppositions need balance. This one balances
sleep against production. Chaos against order. Emotionality against
practicality with any harsh aspect from the Moon to Venus typically
feeling less than comfortable.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, this is the only major aspect
the Moon makes in the meat of the day on Monday. She next moves
forward to an illuminating sextile with Uranus in Taurus at 1:28 AM
on Tuesday. Pisces Moons can be easily distracted cause the
atmosphere to be on the wet, foggy or humid side. Framed with the
assistance of our Earth energy from Virgo and Taurus it is wholly
possible to find our footing.</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFpTIie8RaP0mmEozpjF8KlzF-f_-SpyGLHTqaz0oA9qBa8c81ZT8UYYqBgUmJ2fABswNBAC83BNjG98sz9_Cg7Nyz4bMH0Xcl3fcyGsrz3kuAPPQmkdMW4VIwxgsoc1P9wqaw4IRvIfU/s600/homesick2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="551" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFpTIie8RaP0mmEozpjF8KlzF-f_-SpyGLHTqaz0oA9qBa8c81ZT8UYYqBgUmJ2fABswNBAC83BNjG98sz9_Cg7Nyz4bMH0Xcl3fcyGsrz3kuAPPQmkdMW4VIwxgsoc1P9wqaw4IRvIfU/s320/homesick2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday, July 27</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday's Pisces Moon is engulfed but
subsequently penetrates the veil. The waves overtake her as she
enters conjunction with her modern ruler, Neptune, just as the work
day is ending on the East Coast. Meanwhile, Mercury dries out by
leaving Cancer and entering Leo as darkness falls. Through the night,
intuitive inkling deepens and messages permeate our core with the
Moon's final aspect from the sign of the fishes, a sextile with Pluto
in Capricorn.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3YxaaGgTQYM" width="320" youtube-src-id="3YxaaGgTQYM"></iframe></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">With Mercury entering Leo, the volume
around us is likely to begin rising. He is more demure in Cancer than
in Leo. Moon in Pisces may scoff at this as she prefers noises to be
buffered. But, this Mercury will be prone to take things personally
as we begin to become more and more concerned with “what about me?”
rather than the softer considerations of Cancer. Venus' biquintile to
Chiron at midday sneakily exacerbates a dissatisfied and potentially
triggering nuance setting us up to be prone to call closure to
situations that have become over-worn and exhaustive. We are ready
for new, fresh and alive as the Moon enters Aries at dawn on
Wednesday.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday, July 28</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday's Aries Moon is supported
nicely by a trine to Mercury in Leo early in the day helping us to
shirk the slumber of last night's VOC Moon in Pisces. Then, we dry
out a bit more as Jupiter is welcomed back into Aquarius at 8:45 AM.
This transition may cause events from earlier in the year (around
Feb, March) to be revisited especially since Mercury speedily makes
his trek toward another conjunction to the Sun on Sunday, August 1.
This occurs in Leo as each move toward 10 degrees Leo. Story lines
begin to be stitched together. The Chandra symbol as written by Elias
Lonsdale reads as follows for this superior conjunction:</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>A man putting olive oil all over his
body. </b>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Physical life is so much agony and so
much ecstasy that it stretches your body's ability to move with the
flux and ferment. You are called upon to behold yourself, to witness
to the central flame and to endow your personal embodied self with a
daily rhythm of self-remembrance and self- revitalization. You can do
nothing for anybody else unless you are whole within yourself. There
is an urgent call, an inward stirring to offer to yourself the full
power of your destiny path, to become bonded and fused with the truth
of your being. There is also a transcendent power, a greater
selfhood-presence blessing, preserving, and sustaining your path in
this world. So that the light can burn brighter through the joy in
your heart and your vital physical embodiment, given through yourself
to all.
</span></p>

</span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hot, dry and active remain thematic for
our Wednesday as the Moon in Aries dances in fire circles with the
Sun in Leo at around 5 PM. Be careful not to get carried away or
feign accountability though. Overnight the Moon meets up with Saturn
in Aquarius (1:53 AM) and then wakes up to an ouchy conjunction (6:27
AM) with Chiron on Thursday. Overly immature acts are called out by
the rest of the tribe, unattended fires can spread with the influx of
Air from Aquarius or we could push ourselves too harshly and end up
with sore muscles or generalized aches with Chiron in the morning if
we aren't careful.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8hkmuTvkp_s" width="320" youtube-src-id="8hkmuTvkp_s"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thursday, July 29</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Something we want doesn't quite fit
into Destiny's plan for our future today Venus in Virgo finds the
nodal axis by square. It's likely that we have to let something go
here and admit a square peg simply doesn't fit into a round hole no
matter how much we tinker with it. The outlet for the fixed tsquare
created here finds itself in Pisces calling us to surrender,
acceptance and, at times, forgiveness.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">That isn't likely to come so easily
though as Mars in Leo opposes Jupiter in Aquarius (11:50 AM) as he
prepares to transition into Virgo a few hours later. The thing we
keep doing to trip ourselves up is likely revealed to us here if we
can slow down from pushing our personal agenda long enough to see it.
Folks could really behave over the top in some instances here. My
suggestion is to grab a dose of humility and a bag of popcorn to
enjoy the show rather than become the hot mess on center stage.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon remains active through
Thursday. She will make her final aspect prior to reaching VOC, a
sextile with Jupiter in Aquarius on Friday evening. Make sure you are
pacing yourself for the long haul and keeping your vision set on a
distant but plausible plan for the future with Jupiter in Aquarius.
</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Friday, July 30</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Morning lights up our shadows as the
Moon in Aries finds Pluto in Capricorn at dawn. This can be
fearfulness or determination depending upon your perspective which
remains of the utmost importance with Jupiter still in retrograde.
The Moon finds him still fresh by sextile in his revisit to the sign
of the water-bearer at 3:38 PM. From here, she rests in VOC status
briefly before entering Taurus at 4:08 PM.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's likely this rather long journey
with the Moon in Aries has caused us to work up an appetite. Plus, we
are likely ready to finish our wars and retreat into more pleasurable
affair with the Moon in the cow fields. We are somewhat grounded out
and any selfish or immature acts coming from the sign of Leo over the
weekend are snorted as the Moon plays nicely with our other planets
in Earth but squares Mars in Leo and creates our Last Quarter Moon
with the Sun in Leo on Saturday. The week starts sluggish and then
takes off like a rocket. Make sure you stick your landing and pace
yourself accordingly so that you may have a chance to enjoy the
incoming weekend.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The 9 of Pentacles represents assets to
sell and wealth to share. Any resource (tangible or intangible) and
known as “yours” to you at this time has been well earned. This
is true even if you did not buy what you have acquired directly.
Karma comes full circle here for better or worse.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The 9 of Coins says “Showcase what
you have to offer.” “Curate” comes to the fore as well. But,
this isn't like putting up stuff for sale on Craig's list.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The very poised lady in the 9 is a high
end dealer of wares to a very specialized clientele. Whether you are
marketing something you've made, a skill, pitching a business plan or
lending your experience, it all falls under a specialized skill set,
collection of wares or finely crafted personal qualities/values which
only a special few are allowed to purchase, enjoy, or have awareness.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">These would be skills that you have
consistently worked on over the course of your lifetime. Your bank of
acquired knowledge and experience. It also includes any material
earnings or investment returns. You could be curating a collection of
wares and presenting them to different sub-categories of specialized
folks who share interest in what you have to offer.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GA1Sm3tvS0c" width="320" youtube-src-id="GA1Sm3tvS0c"></iframe></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">What's key here is to know your own
worth and that of what you have to offer. Stand proud but maintain
humility. You have to be confident enough in your skills to present
them to those who may be interested but the 9 is still graceful and
demure. Know how to “walk the walk and talk the talk” of your
clientele. Realize much is connected to presentation as well as
selection of audience.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is a good time to apply for a
higher paying position, for example. Or to ask for a raise. But, the
energy of that extends to your outside environment too. It's not all
work and money. This is also having acquired life skills and
emotional maturity to a level in which you can be a rock of
non-material resource to others.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This card also teaches discernment. Be
mindful and employ common sense when it comes to sharing or providing
assistance (resource) to others. You don't want to realize what it
is you had after it's been squandered, wasted, stolen or given to an
unworthy recipient. Casting “pearls before swine” is for those in
desperate need of validation from anywhere...even pigs. You don't
need that type of validation when you walk with this card. It demands
the presence of your value be witnessed and respected internally. It
leads you to enter situations with self-respect and poise.
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXo37Eltpc_ZuvxQmSk_IP1SPb7irBAgoUEsiDkO_kCYTaGlGPPBfzlhzxT9co7qiLmE931l1FlqMyn3ogF6Us9bA4A0sax9MZXZ8rbhqY_lsmDhUIn0hh8sIdaujeLvtkH67tGm-UV8/s520/9+of+pentacles.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="283" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXo37Eltpc_ZuvxQmSk_IP1SPb7irBAgoUEsiDkO_kCYTaGlGPPBfzlhzxT9co7qiLmE931l1FlqMyn3ogF6Us9bA4A0sax9MZXZ8rbhqY_lsmDhUIn0hh8sIdaujeLvtkH67tGm-UV8/w347-h640/9+of+pentacles.png" width="347" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The 9 of Coins advises skills and
strengths have been developed through direct experience that will
carry you through. This will strengthen you. The lady stands alone
indicating independence. She is able to make decisions based on her
own final say. The fulfillment of her long term goals are close. She
knows this and that she has earned each reward it has to offer. With
this card as advice, you too have earned and developed absolutely
everything you have. You have full authority to employ the resources
/skills you've acquired toward your own benefit. You are allowed to
share it with whomever you choose or do not choose at your discretion
out of respect for yourself and the resource in question. But, you
are required to foster this type of respect for your own self first,
becoming assured of your rights toward what it is you have earned.
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSfilFKA1rA0vVTaZBg0lyk-okgXFcG3QddRGU9rC-b59aHqdW-CcIcseqB2vkeGNA_NAnANm8QDe4m-pyweZpkElGtmu7nkuA0G6w2F7XBC3kLk1Vx4bwHV9A4iTRry6F5Jzs9EG9_XY/s600/mary-mary-quite-contrary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="379" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSfilFKA1rA0vVTaZBg0lyk-okgXFcG3QddRGU9rC-b59aHqdW-CcIcseqB2vkeGNA_NAnANm8QDe4m-pyweZpkElGtmu7nkuA0G6w2F7XBC3kLk1Vx4bwHV9A4iTRry6F5Jzs9EG9_XY/s320/mary-mary-quite-contrary.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finally, this card is about
cultivation. This woman's garden didn't grow overnight. Gardens are a
lot of work and the folks in the pentacle suit start out with barely
two pennies to rub together. Though clean and well poised, this lady
has gotten her hands dirty in the makings of her garden. She's put
her time in. Failed more than a few times and had to start over.
Dealt with weather and life conditions that were out of her control.
Consistently, though, she has come back and with love and tenderness
to cultivate this act of creation. It's taken more than just time.
Her blood, sweat and tears have all fallen upon the soil. The
happenings of her life are likely inscribed in the roots of every
plant. The ring of every tree. This is not just a garden she's built,
it's a legacy.
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVG5IwKiV6nPfwrPnTfWb6mXvWpedE2zH-g2GmnIEgAb5lsPUeF7cVXrIj2VHJX9cdkLyH64pbxmth9qAvqIMzOESsvXQZvUWUzyIA6o2wh5OqC1oaue05DKCIP1Njlry0M_yJUdMqJe4/s2048/IMG_7184.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVG5IwKiV6nPfwrPnTfWb6mXvWpedE2zH-g2GmnIEgAb5lsPUeF7cVXrIj2VHJX9cdkLyH64pbxmth9qAvqIMzOESsvXQZvUWUzyIA6o2wh5OqC1oaue05DKCIP1Njlry0M_yJUdMqJe4/w426-h640/IMG_7184.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cultivation demands our patience. The
best results come from that which is cultivated tenderly, slowly,
patiently and with love. She has produced a quality offering borne of
love to which only those who can present with respect may enter.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Monday, July 19</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Monday is a bit sketchy. The Moon
begins with a flowy trine to Neptune (5:34 AM EDT) which sets up for
a scratchy square with her traditional ruler, Mars in Leo, at 6:16
AM. Here there are secrets that betray the smiles on the faces we may
see. And, it's quiet. Almost too quiet. Much like Sunday, there is
much swirling beneath the surface on private levels that folks are
not really ready to talk about. Some of it they may not even be ready
to accept.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ClU3fctbGls" width="320" youtube-src-id="ClU3fctbGls"></iframe></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yet, we will endure and survive it all
with the Moon's sextile to her modern, ruler Pluto at 9:41 AM. We dig
deep to deal with Monday. There is plenty to know that strikes a very
personal chord all of which rises to the surface with Mercury in
Cancer's square to Chiron in Aries at about 11 AM. If you happen into
the bathroom in a public place or your work venue during this time
and hear someone sobbing...say nothing. Hiding away to deal with
oneself will be commonplace. As will general discomfort as the Moon
then moves on to square Venus at 12:28 PM.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Folks are likely dealing best they can
with unmentionables this day. That comes strongly to the fore with
the watery trine between the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Scorpio.
These two have secrets and zipped lips. Both are known to endure
tremendous burdens and benefit best if they can veer away from the
intoxication of masochism and toward that of self-gentleness.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlxRqJJh-O2-tGKf_29T7xSRTM1sGjTysjYRMqDnFx9S5YoUCaAQ4WZmAsPuqaiLkZEkLWeMn6H6XfXusNZVHnyvkoxg02j56SnSvcCBL_5WIQ4T8aAL7MGxZeAHiQCjbgs3A6qhSRp4Q/s450/red+riding+hood.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="450" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlxRqJJh-O2-tGKf_29T7xSRTM1sGjTysjYRMqDnFx9S5YoUCaAQ4WZmAsPuqaiLkZEkLWeMn6H6XfXusNZVHnyvkoxg02j56SnSvcCBL_5WIQ4T8aAL7MGxZeAHiQCjbgs3A6qhSRp4Q/w400-h334/red+riding+hood.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">From here, the Moon is Void until
entering Sagittarius at 5:08 PM. The escape of Luna from the clutches
of the Scorpion does offer some relief. But, some of the relief may
come through tears as the Moon's first aspect is a square to Jupiter
Rx in Pisces at 6:33 PM. It's likely a long day which weighs heavy
with quiet making Monday's typical vibe no less appealing. Be gentle
with yourself and tread carefully around others. There are plenty of
unknowns. As the week moves forward, it's likely some of the heavy
that folks have been bearing on their own will leak out.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday, July 20</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday dawns brightly as
overnight much was likely pieced together with common sense and
insight in dream. A good sign is a good sign. Accept it and move
forward with it. The Moon continues waxing strongly in Sagittarius
passing over the South Node and Juno around 9:20 AM. Have you
historically been true to your word? Or have you spun fish tales and
in phobic nature shirked the truth? Your answers bear relevance here
as the future we find ourselves in today deals largely with these
answers.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUP-q3ce-Nk3IYmCX_BcRMfduCl_27X4YaqKjhk2nrdS4MSAhF2UXhQtpvowzsdIoYlgB9ClTnhKIFSP1jE9b3PxpWrOeQCAlx841xMOSGOUMD8erMSlZS3KCcxRh7rFW5f1zUTwUl6E8/s1000/truth.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUP-q3ce-Nk3IYmCX_BcRMfduCl_27X4YaqKjhk2nrdS4MSAhF2UXhQtpvowzsdIoYlgB9ClTnhKIFSP1jE9b3PxpWrOeQCAlx841xMOSGOUMD8erMSlZS3KCcxRh7rFW5f1zUTwUl6E8/w400-h400/truth.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Emotions steady and focus on
far points in the future as the Moon in Sagittarius embraces Saturn
in Aquarius at 11:32 AM. Hold your rudder true and journey on. The
rest of the day continues with the Moon making no other major
aspects. However, there are several minors that fill in personal
nuance.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday, July 21</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon is enshrouded with
fog and haze as we slide into Wednesday. She finds Neptune in Pisces
by square at 7:09 AM. Dreams linger in this aspect whether we are
waking up in a nightmare or water-colored fantasy. Eyes may have a
tendency to leak as does the sky.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QkJzemljk8s" width="320" youtube-src-id="QkJzemljk8s"></iframe></div>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">By 10:07 AM, we are
energized with a trine from the Moon to Mars in Leo. It's a welcomed
boost that allows some of the uncertainty to dissipate. Additional
lift comes from a trine to Venus in Leo at 6:26 PM with both on the
mere edges of their sign. We dry out with eyes on the horizon of this
day. From here, the Moon is briefly Void before entering Capricorn at
6:37 PM. She rises robust and ready to blossom fully on Friday night.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Capricorn Moon can be cold
and harsh but with a sextile to Jupiter in Pisces at 7:42 PM she
softens with compassion and perhaps fatigue. If the yawns of slumber
find you, accept them. Sleeping prior to a Full Moon can be hard to
achieve. Take the opportunities as they come and as you can.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">At 8:37 PM, Venus enters
Virgo and immediately begins to wax in opposition to Jupiter in
Pisces (tomorrow morning at 8:45 AM). This is certainly a “wash
your hands” aspect and be wary of offenses to your belly. Venus in
Virgo appreciates cleanliness and wholesome while Jupiter in Pisces
can exalt messes and chaos. There is a call for balance between that
which is practical and that which is known but perhaps not able to be
proven. Faith and humility with a willingness to help without forcing
yourself into the equation are the fulcrums upon which we can balance
this opposition. Humility is very important with Jupiter in Pisces
because you cannot know it all with this placement as there are far
too many unknowns. Prayer fits nicely but when your hands are not
folded, get them busy fixing and tinkering with solutions. Do not
forget there is a soft bodied human under any symptoms or diagnoses
if donning the role of nurse or caregiver. Emotion likely does swirl
through the day as the Sun lingers upon the last claw of Cancer. She
will enter Leo tomorrow at 10:27 AM.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Wv2rLZmbPMA" width="320" youtube-src-id="Wv2rLZmbPMA"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><p></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thursday, July 22</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Sun glimmers warm in her
home territory of Leo as she is birthed from Cancer at 10:27 AM. The
Moon continues in Capricorn largely unencumbered until meeting with
self-doubt and potential triggering by way of a square to Chiron in
Aries at 3:52 PM. Common sense and adherence to an evolved sense of
self-value and respect bolster us as the Moon trines Uranus in Taurus at 6:26 PM.
Much of the emotional congestion begins to break loose with this
gritty trine. We could end the day with more solutions compared to
how we entered if we can refrain from over-complication and rigidity.
The Moon continues to add to her girth but makes no major aspects
until a gut check with emotion and intuition by way of an opposition
to Mercury in Cancer at 4 AM on the 23<sup>rd</sup>. This calls us to
extinguish one end of the candle especially if we are pushing heavily either side of the work/life see-saw. Balance it out.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zpNwHXJgl8s" width="320" youtube-src-id="zpNwHXJgl8s"></iframe></div><p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Friday, July 23</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Friday dawns softly but
determined. The Moon is sober and goal oriented in Capricorn but
softened, compassionate and imaginative by way of a sextile to
Neptune at 8:33 AM. Her sleeves are rolled up and eyes focused on her
goals as she finds Pluto by conjunction at 12:35 PM. From here, she
rests briefly in VOC status leaving an edge to the energy behind her.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">At 8:13 PM Luna is released
into Aquarius to the sound of tribal drums. She is full enough to pop
and blossoms in her own fullness against a star studded blanket of
friends at 10:38 PM. By now, we will have fully realized the change
in atmosphere since Venus left Leo while the Sun clipped into the
sign. Our Full Moon has much to reveal and rebel against. Occurring
between 1 Leo/Aqua 26, she embraces a circle of Goddesses by
way of sextile to Juno (and the South Node) in Sagittarius, a trine
to Vesta in Libra and waning sextile to Pallas in late Pisces. She
winks in inconjunct to Venus in Virgo who carries the energy of our
Tarot Guide, The 9 of Pentacles.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her symbolism as written by
Elias Lonsdale is as follows:</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the Sun at 2 Leo:
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>A horn of brass to be used as a
hearing aid. </b>
</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Subnormal and
supernormal as one. </i>
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bearing
a karmic handicap in which you cannot get away from yourself for a
moment. Yet this opens the doors to a destiny-dedication that is
monumentally strong. Your world reverberates endlessly with your own
individual themes. You are trapped in the form of individual
self-hood. Yet for all its excesses and fanaticisms, this is the
perfect situation to lead you through to where you need to go.
Because by meeting yourself at every turn, in every possible guise,
you are deeply pulled down into a self-expansive pathway where there
had been extreme constriction and radical blockage. The transition is
arduous and consuming. It feels as though it is impossible to break
through. But the very things that characteristically and thematically
just will not let you go shall become the ultimate springboard. You
wear out your old programs the hard and laborious way, by being at
their mercy and learning that somebody in here is ready for something
fantastically different and will do whatever it takes to thin out all
the delusions, and make personal egoism intolerable, insufferable,
and just too big of a joke not to get, ever again.
</span></p>

</span><p></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the
Moon at 2 Aquarius:</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>A woman strolling in a garden. She
is unaware that she is being watched by elves. </b>
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We
adopt a split-screen mind when the outward frame of things seems so
insistent that we must be reasonable and logical and make complete
sense in a quantitative, functional way. But what happens is that the
other side of our awareness, the outlawed side, gets very strong in
the subconscious and stays alive. We can almost play off of it in
emphasizing our skeptical or worldly approach to things. But there is
a joke to it. For <i>you are aware of what you are not aware of</i>--you
are tuned into the very things you deny. This kind of edge hones the
mind and the soul. It teaches invaluable lessons, not the least of
which is to make way for the unknown while hugging the known close to
you, knowing all the whole how profoundly the unknown beckons.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
Full Moon is allowed to remain star of the night with no major
aspects coming until Saturday which also holds Mercury in Cancer in
watery trine to Neptune in Pisces. Those waters will rumble rough
over the weekend with harsh aspects incoming from Saturn, Uranus and
eventually Mars. Meanwhile, Mercury leaves Neptune's watery clutches
for the writhing paranoia of Pluto on Sunday. Then, we are thrust
into the seas with Poseidon as we end Sunday under a still quite full
Pisces Moon that assists us in washing out all the residual emotions
that may have backed up in our systems throughout the week. </span>

EDT) and then Mars (8:29 AM EDT) by conjunction this morning before
falling Void. She rests in Void status until entering Virgo early in
the morning (4:30 AM EDT) on the 13</span><sup style="text-align: left;">th</sup><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">. Meanwhile, Virgo's
ruler finds Jupiter Rx in Pisces by trine at midday (3:45 PM).</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although first impressions would have
Mercury trine Jupiter creating a loud and chatty day, with the Moon
VOC while Mercury and Jupiter occupy water signs, I'd expect the
influence to be much more subtle. This is quite the peaceful and low
key set up that is best for listening over talking and surrounding
yourself with pleasant sounds especially by way of music or even
silence. The ambience of natural sounds fits well today as does
meditation and prayer. The VOC Moon allows emotions to lay low and
typically allows for the day to click by dispassionately. Thoughts
may swirl. But, many are not prone to discuss them as of yet.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aGSKrC7dGcY" width="320" youtube-src-id="aGSKrC7dGcY"></iframe></div><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday, July 13</span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">The Moon in Virgo wakes up
early this morning. It's a good thing too, because Jupiter Rx in
Pisces lights up all the chaos in need of her ability to create order
as she passes by opposition at 7:00 AM. This opposition is a call to
balance between rest and duty as well as imagination/creativity and
production. Here, the nurse meets the patient. The fixer meets with
that which needs answers and reality meets with that which is yet to
be created.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">As the day moves forward,
the Moon dances (and likely sweeps and dusts) with her ruler Mercury in Cancer
by sextile 9:05 AM. Whether we are dealing with messes in the
emotional body or cobwebs in the corners, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">we are inclined to attempt
to clean them up. The key is to keep it simple and aim for what feels
better instead of perfection or worry. This aspect is also wonderful to use
toward putting how you feel into words or creative venue.</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4zAThXFOy2c" width="320" youtube-src-id="4zAThXFOy2c"></iframe></div><p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The potential for creativity
as well as "show and tell' events increases as Venus meets Mars by
conjunction at 9:33 AM. This is a set up for a demure day in which we
can share with one another from authentic creative or romantic space.
The pit fall would be becoming short sighted and overly focused on
ego centered concerns. Venus and Mars meet in Leo as both edge toward
the 3<sup>rd</sup> Decan. The remainder of the day passes
without any other major lunar aspects.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Chandra symbol for the
Venus/Mars conjunction as given by Elias Lonsdale for this
conjunction reads as follows:</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">LEO 20
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">A black pearl hidden in an
oyster.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Working very hard to find
again what is lost, to get at what is conspicuously missing, it takes
tremendous inner forces to restore the pearl. But most of all, you
must vanquish your pride and acknowledge from the core of your being
that going through this world without your deep soul intact is hell.
If you seek, you shall find. If you ache, you shall come to a
restored wholeness. But not without the suffering, the grief, and the
facing of the void; initiation in the depths. It is a superb path if
you have the courage and stamina for it. But midstream it is
cauterizing, corrosive, and deadly; appearances are deceptive;
nothing is as it might seem for a while. What matters supremely is
guts and integrity.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday, July 14</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The morning begins with the
Moon in Virgo in a nice trine with Uranus in Taurus. This brings
practical solutions to long standing problems and bestows us with the
brilliance of common sense. The boost of the trine to Uranus helps
bolster us through this day. Then, as the Luna rises on the East
Coast she is gently lit by a sextile to the Sun in Cancer (9:47 PM).
She will oppose Neptune Rx in Pisces overnight providing the
potential for a bit of rain accompanied with restful sleep and vivid
dreams. A trine to Pluto brings about her VOC status in the wee hours
of our Thursday (2:45 AM). The night holds potential for deep
restoration and rejuvenation on personal levels.</span></p>

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thursday, July 15</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon in Virgo is Void as
we wake this morning and with the Sun in Cancer moving in to trine
Neptune early (4:49 AM) things don't look overly ambitious. We are
dreamy and perhaps wish to linger in sleep.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon awakens (no more
ambitious than she fell asleep) in Libra around 10:30 AM. She can
feel achy and lonely as Chiron in Aries stations retrograde at 11:30
AM. Chiron challenges our ability to navigate issues with anger,
self-assertion, initiative and independence. As he stations, these
issues are likely to flare on personal levels. With the Moon in
Libra, this is not the time to be viciously assertive or violent but
rather to attempt to find grace and employ diplomacy. We may feel or
discover there are things we cannot do alone. But, here, we learn
that we don't have to and that working together makes us no less integral
individuals.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nCrlyX6XbTU" width="320" youtube-src-id="nCrlyX6XbTU"></iframe></div><br /><p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Emotional conflicts could
occur in regard to our relationships and our family as the Libra Moon
squares Mercury in Cancer at 10:10 PM. This can also bring about
dealings with passive aggressiveness, avoidance or giving rise to not
wanting to discuss how you feel because it is not socially
appropriate or palatable. Navigate this by being fair and choosing
your words carefully. Also be as discerning with your thoughts
balancing out the positive and negative potentials while not playing
favorites. Avoid saying “yes” when your heart or gut are
screaming “no.” Keep the peace but stay true, authentic and fair.
</span></p>

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Friday, July 16</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Our Libra Moon is gifted
with boundary, maturity, vision and a sense of social accountability by way of a trine to Saturn Rx in Aquarius at 6:33 AM. She is
gut checked, though, by an opposition of Chiron in Aries newly Rx at
9:13 AM. This can raise issues of self-doubt or we could trip over
triggers, Oppositions call for balance. This one calls for us to be
diplomatic and accommodating toward ourselves so that we do not snap
off the heads of others unjustly. Dealings with anger, self-assertion
and inertia may again to come to the fore.</span></p>

unencumbered of major aspect. Then, the weekend begins with a nice
lunar sextile to both Mars and Venus in Leo helping us to realize
personal, unique and creative solutions to what may have been brought
to our attention within our Friday.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our First Quarter Moon
brings challenge to our intentions on Saturday morning (6:11 AM).
This pulls in Pluto in Capricorn forming a cardinal t-square that
finds outlet in Aries. As demons and shadow rise around us, the
answer is most likely found in acceptance and awareness of the fact
that it isn't them...it's you. There isn't anyone out there going to
come and fix what is wrong for you. If you find yourself saying
“Someone needs to DO something!” That's your cue to get started
doing it. The rescuer you are looking for is you.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">Our deeply waning Moon floated by
Neptune this morning at 7:30 EST. She dives into the caverns of Pluto
around 1 PM giving us depth, grit, traction and room for recovery.
From here, she rests in Void status.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, the Sun is busy trying to
wriggle free of oppression and ignorance with a sextile to Uranus at
3:14 PM. Venus blows wish kisses at the North Node before the day is
out. Will they matter with a Venus ruled Moon sleeping early? Maybe
the shrinking Moon in Gemini will wake up in time to catch them. As
darkness scatters across the East Coast, Luna wafts into the sign of
the Twins showing us both sides of the story and believing neither.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bo_efYhYU2A" width="320" youtube-src-id="bo_efYhYU2A"></iframe></div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Overnight, even though the Gemini Moon
tries to be light, her wings are dampened with emotional dreams by
way of a square to Jupiter struggling to exit Pisces and her ruler's,
Mercury, square to Neptune. Sometimes it all comes out of in the
wash. Sometimes the stain and its stench remain.</span><p></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday morning's fog slowly lifts. The
air lightens a bit as the Gemini Moon dances with Venus in Leo (9:41
AM) allowing sunshine and breezes to briefly rule the sky.
Butterflies happen while hope blossoms. Wisdom lights upon her petals
as the Moon finds Saturn (9:47 PM) by trine just as Venus is also
anchored in opposition (10:36 PM).

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">We begin early with good intentions on
Wednesday when the Moon tries to get off on a better foot with a
sextile to Mars in Leo at daybreak (5:47 AM). She whispers softly, “I
think I can. I think we can” only to be drowned again by the waves
of Neptune by nightfall (8:12 PM). In the mix of this riptide, Venus
gently kisses Chiron with healing or a familiar taste of poison
depending on our preference. She's playful but the adage of once
bitten, twice shy holds true.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We try to distract ourselves enough to
let go. But, the waves keep bringing what we would rather forget back
to shore. Mercury walks out of his shadow today. A new story line may
be appreciated but some will prefer the Devil they know over the one
they've yet to meet.

ruler, Mercury, in his new territory just as Wednesday ends and
Thursday begins (00:24 AM). From here she rests until entering Cancer
at 9 AM. Emotions run heavy and deep as the Moon wanes in her
domicile. Releasing, purging and preparing for a brand new phase on
Friday. She tries to blur it all away and seeks ways to self-nurture
and find peace with a trine to Jupiter in Pisces at 1 PM.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">But, Venus in Leo grows restless and a
bit anxious as she squares Uranus while still under the watchful eyes
of Saturn at 3:25 PM. The weight can feel like too much and some will
blow apart factions of their lives just to maintain a sense of
control over what can't be controlled as the discomfort and anxiety
grows. However, the outlet for this fixed t-square falls in Scorpio
advising us the answer is to go deep. Suss out the thorns. Uncover
the roots. Deal with the difficult that makes us uncomfortable
instead of striving to merely create new dramatic scenarios in hopes of
burying or denying the older business still waiting for us to take care of it.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bellies remain unsettled as does our
sleep as we continue lumbering through the last days of this dark
Moon.

sparks of hope and optimism as the dark Moon in Cancer finds Uranus
by sextile at midday. Whispers of the week's eminent end illuminate the mouth of the tunnel. The work week concludes as a new Moon cycle
begins. The night is dark and long but gifts us new beginnings (even
though vulnerable and tender) with our New Moon in Cancer at 19

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our guide for this lunation is the 2 of
Swords advising us to dismiss ourselves momentarily from the choppier
emotional waves and to blind ourselves from bias as we choose what
paths we will travel from here. It will boil down to mustering of resolve
or surrender as our first tasks riding upon the weekend are to wash
it all away (Moon trine Neptune 7:11 AM) and scrape off the crust and
decay in effort to finalize our decisions (Moon opposite Pluto 12:00
PM) on Saturday. After that, the Moon finally rests for the majority
of our daylight hours before entering Leo at 8:21 PM on the 10<sup>th</sup>.

</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon in Aquarius is Void all
morning. She slips into the ethereal and dreamy waters of Pisces at
nearly 2 PM making our Monday feel like almost like the "Day that wasn't". Both rulers of Pisces (Jupiter and Neptune) are now
retrograde. Mercury continues through his post-Rx shadow. Venus in
Leo finds Jupiter in Pisces by inconjunct around 5:30 PM. The Moon
finds Jupiter, also, by conjunction just a wee bit later. This is a
watery and gentling kind of mixture that doesn't birth the kind of
ambition that work week Mondays typically demand. It is creative and
compassionate with a high chance of fatigue and emotionality. We are
encouraged to be gentle with ourselves and others as many will be
tasked with exploring emotions overlooked in the busy of life or
previously denied/escaped.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">With Neptune retrograde, not much will
likely be hidden. But, the Moon makes no further major aspects in
this day leaving room for examination of treasures left on the beach
and allowing for floating through the deeper waters of emotion and
intuition.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u9Dg-g7t2l4" width="320" youtube-src-id="u9Dg-g7t2l4"></iframe></div><p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday, June 29</b></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Clarity could begin to dawn as the Moon
moves into sextile with Uranus in Taurus 2:48 PM. This presents us
with the fact that the simple answer is usually the best. Then, at 11
PM, the Moon makes an uncomfortable square with Mercury in Gemini.
This can create friction between what we know and how we feel or
cause the same between conversations with family or friends. There
may be some difficult conversations to be had here which makes the
Moon's conjunction with newly retrograde Neptune in the morning (8:25
AM) quite likely to be emotionally themed. There is also potential to
oversleep here if you work a typical 9-5 on the East Coast. So, if
that is your situation, maybe take a few extra minutes before
retiring tonight to ensure you set your alarm and get what you may

and then conjunct Neptune can also be indicative of weathery
conditions such as rain or wind. In many areas across the US, rain is
severely needed. So, while we can hope for that potential, be aware
that with Mercury in an Air sign there is also the potential for
windy or fickle happenings overall.</span></p>

conjunction to Neptune this morning (8:25 AM), she moves on to make a
grounding and regenerative sextile to Pluto Rx in Capricorn just
before lunch time. From here, she rests in Void status until entering
Aries at 9:22 PM. Our last day of June passes by just as
lethargically as the week began. But, usually the transition from
Pisces and into Aries is a swift wake up call. That could make it
difficult to sleep tonight but if we take advantage of the down time
during this 3 day passage of the Moon through Pisces, we can be ready
to get at it on our first day of July if necessary.</span></p></span><p></p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our first day of July bursts
energetically into our sphere with a nice trine to Venus in Leo at
7:23 AM. However, if we have been overly selfish, immature or
unaccountable for our own actions, the calling onto the carpet to
answer for ourselves could occur as Mars in Leo find Saturn Rx by
opposition around 9. Typically, Saturn Rx calls us to
self-accountability but from Aquarius, this could also be a calling
for social justice that takes a personal tone. The key in that is to
balance our own initiatives with a need for community in a way that
considers the welfare of the many over and above just a few. It also
calls us to be personally responsible for falling within the
guidelines of laws and social structures unless we are willing to
take the consequences otherwise.

Moon perfects from the sign of Aries with a square to the Sun in
Cancer. This pits feelings of anger or ambition against a desire to
maintain an healthy atmosphere of safety and nurturing for our
families and those we love. Last Quarter Moons are a time of final
shedding and relinquishment in preparation for the fresh
beginnings birthed by the incoming New Moon. Here we may be looking
at ways we can individually reform how we deal with matters of
anger and aggression for the sake and welfare of those we care for.
Or, we may also be able to assess how these emotions are impacting
our overall health. Aries Moon needs to be active but Cancer Sun can
have a tendency to hole up in its shell. Therefore, this Last Quarter
Moon could call us to emerge in effort to take care of some
uncomfortable situations when we would rather be hiding under the
covers.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">As Mars hangs in opposition with Saturn
for the most of the day, a sense of duty and responsibility are
likely to over rule any need to keep our heads stuck in the sand.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before the night is over, the Moon will
make amicable aspect to both Saturn Rx in Aquarius and Mars in Leo.
This makes taking care of the uncomfortable business worth while and
makes for an ability to rest once our chores or tasks are complete.
By 10 Pm, the Moon is conjunct Chiron in Aries. This gives us full
frontal view of our shortcomings or can also show us where we have
built effective coping mechanisms for feelings of inadequacy or
around our ability to deal with our own inertia or anger.
</span></p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Early Friday morning (4:40
AM) gives us a fiery trine between Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries.
This is gently moving forward while employing our individual sense of
style and flair. It can also show us that healing can occur.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">By Noon, our Aries Moon is
comforted and supported by friends and siblings by way of a sextile
to Mercury in Gemini. This is a time to talk honestly and openly about how we feel. It also allows us to get honest feedback and
perhaps begin to plunk together missing puzzle pieces left over from
Mercury's recent retrograde cycle. Finally, weather could again be a
factor but there is less chance of things being wet and better chance
for things to be quite hot and dry. Definitely remember to stay
hydrated.
</span></p>

the Aries Moon will square off with Pluto in Capricorn. This is an
aspect that can cause shadow emotions to emerge, a desire to control
or even create an atmosphere of greed or abuse. However, it can also
fill us in (though rather forcefully) on ways in which trauma,
conditioning or mental health issues have played a role in our own
poor behavior choices while also offering us a chance at personal reform that
leads to more effective end.</span></p>

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Monday, June 21</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Early this morning, our
Scorpio Moon made difficult aspects to both Uranus in Taurus (6:02
AM) and Saturn Rx in Aquarius (5:09 AM). This represented both
blockage and breakthrough. In the backdrop, Venus softens matters a
bit with a blurry trine to Neptune in Pisces at about 10 AM. This
trine can be prone to veil any difficulties and soften edges in a way
that the tension felt from the Scorpio Moon earlier today dissipates
quickly. 12 hours later the Moon joins in this water mix finding
Neptune first (10 PM) then reaching over with adoration to Venus in
Cancer.
</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6lAKlYTQVKY" width="320" youtube-src-id="6lAKlYTQVKY"></iframe></div><p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Scorpio and Cancer are a
sultry mix with inexplicable depth of connection. With the Moon and
Venus in play we can achieve almost an ethereal level of satisfaction
if we are able to indulge and appreciate the opportunity to relax and
surrender to the flow. The intensity of this potential for healing
and restoration deepens as the Moon finds her modern ruler, Pluto, by
sextile at 3 AM early on the 22</span><sup>nd</sup><span style="font-size: x-large;">. From here, the Moon is
Void until entering the sign of Zeus himself, Sagittarius, at about 9
AM tomorrow morning.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday, June 22</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon is void as the Sun
rises on the East Coast. But, by 9 AM she has entered Sagittarius and
waxes nearly full. Just after noon, she squares off with her ruler
who has just turned retrograde in his 2<sup>nd</sup> domicile of
Pisces on Sunday. This is a challenge to beliefs and theory. But,
found in mutable signs there is plenty of room for changing our minds
and perspective.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Contemplating a change in
mindset fits nicely as Mercury stalls and turns direct at just before
6 PM. This initiates us into the third phase of his retrograde cycle
which involves him retracing his retrograde degrees until exiting his
shadow and breaching new territory on July 7.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">At 8 PM, our Moon in
Sagittarius meets with ambition, initiative and creative instigation
with a fiery trine to Mars in Leo. This can make for difficulty
settling down to sleep or the spark that sets aflame the burning of
the midnight oil. As the night deepens and the fat Moon shines
amongst a blanket of stars, she passes by the South Node at 2 AM.
This is a reminder of how things were in comparison to how we desire
them to become.
</span></p>

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday, June 23</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dawn breaks and the Moon
waxes visionary and socially accountable with a sextile to Saturn Rx
in Aquarius at 5:26 AM. The Sun in Cancer joins chimes in with
philosophical themes or falters toward egoic ambitions with a trine
to Jupiter in Pisces at 6:12 AM. This watery mix brings forth the
difference between enabling and empowering behavior between these two
signs. Enabling defers to shadow issues of the ego that reflects
needs to cling to others by way of creating or fostering a
dependence. Whereas empowering defers to the truth of love which
will, if necessary, sacrifice self and the need for connection and
control in order to assist or allow a person to gain independence,
freedom and growth. The line between the two is easy to find when
heart is set on a healthy and truly loving perspective.
Unfortunately, savior, hero or veiled desires to control can surely
cause us to trip over it. Empowerment uplifts. Enabling imprisons.</span></p>

</span><p></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">By 11 AM, the Moon stands
off with Mercury newly direct. This is a balance between what we know
and what we are learning. In truth, what we know is subject to change
while learning is a ever rolling process. As evening falls, Venus in
Cancer waxes into opposition with Pluto in Capricorn (7:36 PM). This
reveals the shadow aspects of Venus while also pitting her in a power
play that could cause her to recognize the ways in which she falls
prey to the dynamics of enabling versus empowerment as mentioned
above. The answer is to confront and reconcile these demons while
recognizing the power play at hand. Attachment can be released here
and detrimental habits reformed. However, Venus may have to overcome
some lust or fear in order to do so.
</span></p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Darkness births the
Sagittarius Moon's square to Neptune in Pisces which could cause the
budding Full Moon to appear as a water color painting or to be
shrouded in rain clouds. It's a sleepy mix that can allow us to
recoup rest that may have been lost with the Moon's trine to Mars
yesterday. Either way, the Moon falls into Void status after this
aspect and prior to Saturn Rx's sextile to Chiron in Aries just after
midnight. This sextile dispassionately reminds us of the
effectiveness of our established coping mechanisms, the need for
communal support and measures our maturity against our ability to
deal with our perceived shortcomings. The Moon awakens sober and
sturdy at 9 AM tomorrow as we head straight into our first Full Moon
of summer.

blossom as she enters the sign of Capricorn at 9 AM this morning. By
Noon, she is encouraged and bolstered with empathic perspective
through a sextile with Jupiter in Pisces. Our rough edged and rigid
Moon may actually cry with compassion or regret here. But the
opportunity to illuminate a established action plan or wash away that
which burdens us bursts forth with the official culmination of the
Full Moon in Capricorn at 2:40 PM.

footsteps. In the last previous lifetime, you set into motion a very
full karmic momentum, which only got to midstream. This time you
first recapitulate the previous patterns and then set out where they
lead. All of it, every step, feels fated, inevitable. It is an
uncannily strong inward impression. Yet in order to permit the soul
of this lifetime some measure of autonomy and freedom, this knowledge
is held in the super-conscious mind, and you can then cast about as
though nothing had happened before. Except that the inward instincts
direct you in a predetermined course, and the lessons and the scenes
are so very familiar. When individual karma is this strong, the truth
is that you must go through what you have set yourself to take on.
And inwardly you know it, while outwardly you tread lightly,
whistling in the dark, hoping that heavy feeling does not mean what
you know it means, for better and for worse.

is the <b>8 of Cups.</b> It's advice bursts forth as follows:</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Much
has been experienced. Some things are forever lost and yet, new
beginnings filled with excitement and, yet, potentials for new
beginnings are currently being birthed. Even if you are in the same
spot as you were before, you will never be able to perceive of it the
same way again.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Turbulence
has swelled and now the tides recede revealing dissatisfaction and
disappointment. Sorrow and remorse. There are more challenges to come
in the future. Life flows with white-capped waves, lulls and storms.
Be gentle with your assessments of your performance. Celebrate that
you are still standing. But, know at this time, it may be difficult
to find reason to celebrate.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The 8
of Cups is not a happy time. It's sensitive. But, it's also positions
us with a readiness to move on. This is we you drain the situation of
memories, experience and wisdom while bidding it goodbye. We could
literally be delivering goodbyes in relationships or jobs that we
have outgrown. We may retire roles that we no longer wish to bear or
give up on a draining experience or manipulative/abusive situations.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is
suggestive of a sober time in which we may have to confront some hard
or difficult feelings. But, beyond that processing and confrontation
lies a new and promising day. We are ready to do the emotional labor
necessary so that we can move toward it.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Feelings
of mourning and lethargy could bear heavy ever presence. In that
instance we are encouraged toward rest. Self-care and allowance of
emotional processing are integral in the advice of this card. We are
vulnerable and deserving of the benefit of our own care. Time to deal
with the emotional fall out is essential along with ponderings of
forgiveness, acceptance, remorse, guilt or mourning. Don't skip any
steps because going through the healing process is what assists the
new day to dawn. Delaying care and dealing will only elongate the
journey of misery when suffering it is optional!

<p align="LEFT" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Music
is balm during times such as these. Faith grows into sturdy support.
There can be feelings of heaviness but they tend to lessen as time
moves forward. Taking the first step toward that new destination is
usually the hardest because it requires our acceptance of the fact
that something we have invested in is over. Something has died or has
ended. Admittance of wasted time or emotional investment is extremely
difficult. The next steps are easier but are slow to blossom with
enjoyment. This is messy work. We may want to do it in private and
are encouraged to take the alone time we may need. Ensure you are not
becoming unhealthily withdrawn or avoidant. Seek professional help or
support if you need but make sure you let yourself express what you
are feeling. What you've been struggling with is over. All that's
left to do is incorporating it into memory, dealing with the
closure/follow through and, then, head toward the dawn.

Full Moon's vibes invade the rest of our Thursday. The Moon makes no

</span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Friday,
June 25</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon in Capricorn is
challenged with self-doubt as she squares off with Chiron in Aries at
5:44 AM. But, grounded inspiration and the wisdom of common sense
finds us as she makes an Earthy trine to Uranus in Taurus at 7:04 AM.
This spark of initiative is met with the tidal recession as Neptune
stations retrograde at 9 AM. The Sea God pulls back the tides here
revealing what has been washed ashore be it treasure or trash. Either
way, it's presence is undeniable.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The blurry revelations
continue through the day with no major aspects to the Moon until she
meets with Neptune just after nightfall. This can be emotional or
relaxing depending upon the day's finds. She continues to lumber
through Capricorn through the night finding depth of purpose with a
conjunction to Pluto in Capricorn early Saturday morning. This is
followed by a board meeting over financials and a review of resource
investment by way of a stand off with demure Venus in Cancer at 8:50
AM on the 26<sup>th</sup>.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here, our industrious Moon
is laid to rest before reawakening with a small bag of wisdom and
inspiration toward better days in the sign of Aquarius (10 AM) just
in time for the weekend to commence.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Monday, June 14</b></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today the Moon wanders through Leo. She
reaches over to kiss the North Node in Gemini by sextile and dances
with Chiron by trine before running face first into the Saturn/Uranus
square at 3:30 PM EDT. This occurs as the Saturn/Uranus square pulls
into perfection at 6 PM at 13 Aqua/Taurus 07.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Uranus is still direct and therefore
heads toward the 14<sup>th</sup> degree of Taurus whose Chandra
symbol reads as follows:</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>An old lady selling bunches of violets
on a street corner.</b></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Caught inside a strange
predicament--you no longer belong to worlds you always dreamed into
before, and you have only a light connection with worlds calling you
forward from here. Caught in a time warp, being neither this nor
that. It is a stark and merciless dilemma. Your heart is divided
between memories and visions, sentiment and knowledge. Inside this
quandary, something else is going on. You are distracted from all
solid allegiances in order to overhaul your way of being, even while
remaining stubbornly adamant and resistant. You get around your own
paranoid system by subtle and subliminal means, eroding the ego base
and bringing yourself through a humiliating stage. Make yourself
ready for deeper challenges ahead by stripping away your
self-importance; you who have leaned back hard on self-importance for
your very identity, and who now must let go despite not wanting to at
all.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcpB57xYIFiLQNzOf-b4mP9CLQf5nkwZXDC7XjQ-lRaFtBNAYytlhcOr_OCKKZtTFsS60kgjkpwvx2j1ymXVCZ_nYsLLxtr2ogB2CRczjlDH0duk29PzhCOz3ZZqR44eKSiplr2XRY6Zs/s275/violets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcpB57xYIFiLQNzOf-b4mP9CLQf5nkwZXDC7XjQ-lRaFtBNAYytlhcOr_OCKKZtTFsS60kgjkpwvx2j1ymXVCZ_nYsLLxtr2ogB2CRczjlDH0duk29PzhCOz3ZZqR44eKSiplr2XRY6Zs/w400-h266/violets.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saturn is retrograde heading toward the
13<sup>th</sup> degree of Aquarius which reads as follows:</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>A lidless granite sarcophagus. It is
empty.
</b></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is nothing to go back to. The
past has become a phantom. You are propelled forward into the great
unknown. But it is so easy to become somewhat desperate and out of
context. So much depends upon how you interpret the fact that you are
strictly on your own without a personal history or heritage to fall
back upon. Is this real opportunity or a strange fate? It is very
hard to tell the difference, as it all becomes ambiguous,
paradoxical, very mixed. Where do you go from here? No easy answers
anywhere. Perhaps the only thing to do is to acknowledge and move
with this radical opening and to put no interpretations on it,
assuming nothing at all. For if you can welcome multi-dimensionality
with truly open arms, it might well turn out that the future was
never supposed to be like the past. And that becoming so free does
provide an open access channel for what needs to happen--to come
through a jump ahead of the last moment, synchronized with evolution
beautifully
</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, these squares are certainly
tenuous and they set one of the major astrological themes of 2021.
And, with the Moon in Leo in play as this one goes down, it's
personal. This is the 2<sup>nd</sup> square in a series of three. The
first one occurring in February and the final one going down around
Christmas. What I've observed is that they kind of take you by the
back of the head on personal levels and hold you until you see what
it is that needs to change. They also have a tendency to be rather
“weathery.” With Mercury Rx that is entirely possible. I don't
see much new emerging from this one. It does appear to be a
reflection upon the last square in which the issues thematic to your
chart are brought back to the surface. With Saturn Rx, it's almost as
if the Universe is asking, “You know what is wrong here. What are
you going to do about it.” The proper response being accountability
and effort toward change that brings about healthy and mature
approach. Results matter less than effort with Saturn. So, hold tight
to your integrity and do the best you can as we navigate this. It is
fixed energy so it occurs in an inescapable way but also shows us
patterns of personal behavior that contribute to the dynamic. There
could be collective happenings that feed into his but the best bet is
to focus on the ground right in front of you without expecting anyone
to fix things for you. This is on you.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">There isn't much “give” in this
Monday. However, just as the clock clicks over to midnight on the
East Coast, Tuesday gifts us with a bit of flexibility.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday, June 15</b></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">At 12:34 AM EDT, the Moon limbers up
with options as she creates a sextile with Mercury Rx before
limbering up a bit more with a sextile to the Sun in Gemini at 1:27
PM. From here, she is in Void status for the rest of the day allowing
us to glide through a bit a break until she enters Virgo at 11:02 PM.
That means if there is a mess made on Monday, the energy to step back
from it and find fixes or solutions is forthcoming. But, it may be
best to do as the Moon does and mark Tuesday evening for a bit of
rest.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lp-EO5I60KA" width="320" youtube-src-id="lp-EO5I60KA"></iframe></div><p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wednesday, June 16</b></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Moon moving into Virgo eventually
births our first quarter Moon that stems from our SE in Gemini last
week. First Quarters typically present challenge to our intentions.
That is not in effort to stop us but to provide incentive to overcome
the obstacles in front of us. If we plant seeds at the New Moon, the
First Quarter is where the seed pod bursts open in the ground. The
seedling must find the energy and stamina to push upward to break the
crust of the ground's surface. Otherwise, it rots and is for naught
except to fertilize the soil for the next planting.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAo61Aj5eRATKZYwG6OrfCewLREbHrRq-mqWwk0pFmi-wSFsXyNrRUIbbtXO_53wjBiqll8wOgjQ58L8SxO7kj-YEV_JiH2j-iPscXX1nTl-SdxyqrB3Wxcyr3dJLcmo-dmuKNyUNWKNc/s257/mermaid+art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="257" data-original-width="196" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAo61Aj5eRATKZYwG6OrfCewLREbHrRq-mqWwk0pFmi-wSFsXyNrRUIbbtXO_53wjBiqll8wOgjQ58L8SxO7kj-YEV_JiH2j-iPscXX1nTl-SdxyqrB3Wxcyr3dJLcmo-dmuKNyUNWKNc/w305-h400/mermaid+art.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The ground is likely to be a bit mushy
through this Moon as she will oppose Jupiter at 3 AM EDT. She clicks
through minor aspects for most of the day before meeting with the
Nodal Axis by square at 6:32 PM. This can birth memories of the way
things seemed similar before and worries that what we are dealing
with simply does not fit with our plans for the future. The answer is
going to be a willingness toward change and employment of a bit of
creativity with the outlet for this mutable square falling in Pisces.
If nothing else, we can sleep on it, accept it as is or simply let it
go. For now.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then, the gentle “aha!” moments
birth themselves as the Moon trines Uranus in Taurus at 11:07 PM.
Chances are they are riddled with simplicity and common sense while
inspiring us toward step by incremental step to clean up any messes
we may find ourselves in.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thursday looks like reflection, rain
and a dash of seasickness as the Moon squares off with Mercury Rx at
6 AM and then sextiles nostalgic Venus in Cancer at 8:07 AM. She
moves on to form blurry and emotional opposition to Neptune in Pisces
at about 5 PM. It's ok to look back there. But, it's also ago to
bless it, forgive it if you feel like and then wash it away. Let the
tides ebb and flow without pressuring yourself too much toward
production even if Virgo Moon may feel obligated. We can pray, rest
and take care of ourselves through this. It's allowed. You officially
have permission.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/en2D_5TzXCA" width="320" youtube-src-id="en2D_5TzXCA"></iframe></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We restore, ground out and become a bit
more resilient as the Moon trines Pluto Rx at 10:18 PM. Just in time
because the First Quarter Moon rolls up at 11. This isn't a time to
back down but more of a time to weigh our options and start tinkering
with them to see which one may work. We might have to weed through a
few before finding the right one. But, the right one is out there and
effort still matters!</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Following the First Quarter (just
before midnight), the Virgo Moon rests in Void status. She enters
Libra at about 5 AM on Friday.
</span></p>

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday, June 18</b></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Friday has pleasant, playful and
creative mojo with the Moon making minor aspect all day with the
exception of a nice sextile to Mars newly in Leo at 12:32 PM. Libra
and Leo love to laugh, share and spend time with friends. If the week
proves difficult, this is a good day to leave time for play. Seek
balance in all you do and aim to be authentic. Lean into what you
enjoy and, for best results, bring a friend...or three.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The most basic guidance from any 4 is
stabilize and protect. We are dealing with matters of cups so you are
stabilizing things like emotions and protecting your creative waters.
4's are also great for setting boundary, defining or redefining
limits and taking time for reflection.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This 4 also brings forward the concept
of memory. There is time for reflection at best and brooding at
worst. As you sit with what has physically manifested in your life,
you may glance back to the ideal you had in your head of what this
time in your life would be like. How you imagined it would be likely
does not really parallel what you find yourself with. It happens. Not
always in a bad way either. Sometimes we are better off than whatever
we imagined for ourselves back then.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I7imqO-OBVk" width="320" youtube-src-id="I7imqO-OBVk"></iframe></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yet, this card is often about
disappointment or matters we feel we may have wasted emotional energy
on. Sometimes it can denote a time in which we've made a few attempts
at creation, expression or even love/connection and have still not
gotten things quite the way we have in mind. The good part, though,
is that the energy is stable. We are not in the “flux' of emotional
situations currently. This card does kind of serve of a check in
with those systems rather than braining (Swords) or beating the crap
(wands) out of what you are dealing with. Instead, this card suggests
we dismiss and ground ourselves to deal with the emotional component.
This essential step helps stabilize the emotional in a way that
clears the air for the mental. From that position, the mental is more
in control to call the shots of the physical. So, the pause for
reflection and assessment in this arena is actually pretty important
even though it is likely the last thing that we want to do.</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9bH031DukehT4lQ-Ovb-abjY6-lDRtWGYSzcUNBeQkK_Zo4Q83I_0HOLvwtj9nnWTyFpIAWuKc-m-ibjwPONgcdJUcfxnQBWO5unuel0P77sskhtvq02Q25gPgEdxbKP4-4WO8NF-y2k/s1000/when+one+door+opens.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9bH031DukehT4lQ-Ovb-abjY6-lDRtWGYSzcUNBeQkK_Zo4Q83I_0HOLvwtj9nnWTyFpIAWuKc-m-ibjwPONgcdJUcfxnQBWO5unuel0P77sskhtvq02Q25gPgEdxbKP4-4WO8NF-y2k/w400-h400/when+one+door+opens.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">What you have in the 3 empty cups are
things that didn't work or that were found unfulfilling. If you
ponder on those for too long, you will miss out on your other
options. All you have to do is accept “ok...these efforts have
rendered zero or dissatisfying results.” Then, you can create or
imagine a different way. A unique way to both perceive of and
address the situation. We are very prone to get caught up or caught
between “this,” “that” or “what if's” at this juncture.
But, Uranus in Taurus wants us to bust out of that rut and come up
with new and unique solutions to problems that revolve around our
lives like an unbreakable wheel. It is breakable but we have to bust
out of our ping pong this or that stuff. That's what this pause is
for. To find the trap door. The alternate exit. We will not be able
to see those potentials of "what can be" if we do not process the
emotions connected with the disappointment or what have you.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WS3Lkc6Gzlk" width="320" youtube-src-id="WS3Lkc6Gzlk"></iframe></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are challenging our ideal against
reality. We have time to reshape or release matters of memory or
feelings of disappointment when expectation and what transpires fail to meet. From this stable ground, the card seems to be hinting at
concepts of delusion or personal entrapment. </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grounding dissipates all
chance at illusion here. As a matter of fact, what we are seeing may
not be able to be seen by anyone else but it is a vision that
provides for us enchanting escape in a dry world. To sleep. Perchance
to dream. That is highly indicated. It's your dream. You can get lost
in it if you want to. That could be something the 4 is calling for
you to protect also. Your dreams. Or your creative visions. Allow
yourself time alone to imagine them right into existence.</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TvnYmWpD_T8" width="320" youtube-src-id="TvnYmWpD_T8"></iframe></div><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">4's manifest. But this 4 demands we do
the emotional labors before the new can come into existence. In that
case, it may be a good idea to hold your inspiration or dreams in
quiet for their own protection as you wait for the timing to align.
It will be hard though because inspiration comes with impetus and we
often want to “jump on it.” Be wary of the season we are in and
remember that Jupiter in Pisces rewards our ability to navigate
through the unknown with faith and a even (albeit perhaps naïve)
sense of adventure to boot. In some ways, Jupiter in Pisces
surrenders itself to the journey instead of attempting to steer it in
the direction of it's own will.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7qH4qyi1-Ys" width="320" youtube-src-id="7qH4qyi1-Ys"></iframe></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Allow yourself space for daydream.
Primarily, give yourself space period. Allow yourself to spend some
time with your ideal. Allow the mourning if its non-existence, if
necessary. Yet look to ways you can incorporate some or parts of that
ideal in different ways into your right now reality. Remind yourself
of your purpose as you process emotions. Rest. Relax and spend time
in leisure. Provide space for yourself to do this as much as you can
is contained in the advice from the 4 of Cups.</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA9tNggJ7real0cW0mMc0vYLZc30HN_rOcY9cEPxx9tHJ02WMDGAwvgOp0rueh29onfyE6RhA1pRNT7aCJM0B4h30XnrrpKZhQQJfbWSFQdhI80me1jg0lCEv27Z_Fl3F64kgkXCreiY4/s415/otherworld+ohio.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="277" data-original-width="415" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA9tNggJ7real0cW0mMc0vYLZc30HN_rOcY9cEPxx9tHJ02WMDGAwvgOp0rueh29onfyE6RhA1pRNT7aCJM0B4h30XnrrpKZhQQJfbWSFQdhI80me1jg0lCEv27Z_Fl3F64kgkXCreiY4/w400-h268/otherworld+ohio.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This card can also mean an opportunity
is obscured or hidden temporarily. Creativity is needed to discover
it. Someone may be keeping their feelings from you or vice versa.
Either way, deal with the empty cups but don't spend all your time
dwelling on them. Because following your processing and releasing of
emotional gunk is when the 4<sup>th</sup> cup “appears” giving
you the alternative option or new inspiration you need.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sunday night, the Moon enters Taurus
(7:30 PM). She wanes strongly making no major aspects until Monday.
Deeply waning Moons, particularly those in Earth signs, can feel
heavy. The heaviness comes with use, though. Here we can discern what
is too cumbersome or difficult to carry. We can slough off excess and
aim to travel lighter. We can identify initiatives not worth our
effort, shed habits birthed of self-disrespect and align ourselves
more intimately with the root or core of our desires and values.
Taurus is the sign of simplicity. In this sign, what has been
acquired is of quality and has been well earned. When perverted or
afoul, the sign can turn selfish, hoard or compensate for lack of
self-value with material goods. With Pluto having recently turned Rx,
what has been proven false, toxic, excessive or borne of ill repute was
purged. Attachment to what Pluto identified as poison or
hazardous has been stripped away. Pluto's station created fissures,
voids, sinkholes and craters right in the middle of what we may have exalted as stable and in good condition. What remains is tinged
with the putrid stench of death and decay. The rancid sludge of
decomposition. Wet and malleable but buffering none of the hollow
echo thundering with silence. Many find themselves disheveled.
Perhaps with clothes tattered. Our bare feet seek slowly in the
oozing aftermath as we eventually all realize either an atmosphere of barren
loneliness and abandon or one reflective of discovering black gold
rich with potential. Is it perspective or character that leads us
from here into feelings of humble gratitude and grace or those of
exploitation, greed and selfish entitlement? In truth, the happenings
that bring us to these empty spaces in our lives are the catalysts
through which both matters of personal perspective and character are
weighed, measured, taken apart and put back together again.

has just entered Gemini (5/8 at 10 PM EST). This will allow us to be
more flexible in regard to Venus while encouraging us to delight and
diversify our palate. We can grow curious about trying new things.
Our words may luxuriously ooze and drip like honey coated with praise
and gratitude. We can find bliss in all the little things or become
lost in wishing for everything little thing. Hearts can become light
or turn fickle. The only constant with Venus in Gemini is that we are
all learning and growing through experience of the Venus realm.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the sign of the twins, Venus is
curious. She flits around learning of and continually developing her
personal aesthetic. She loves to make new friends and enjoys allowing
herself to pursue her own interests. She adores laughing, puns, word
play, banter and getting others to smile. But, she isn't overly
interested in settling down or focusing her affection on merely one
thing, person or topic. She's friendly and polite functioning best
when matters of the heart are kept on a cerebral level. She will
quickly change topic or flitter off somewhere else when the
conversation is no longer interesting or when the situation becomes
intense.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Venus in Gemini is energy that can help
coax Taurus through change. As Uranus continues through the sign of
the Bull, our most basic structures will continue to change and
evolve which makes things tough for our fixed signs. Taurus, however,
sincerely struggles the most with accommodating and adapting to change. In this
sign, Uranus disrupts our stability. He enlightens us to what is of
true importance and inspires moments of humble gratitude. He helps us
to sharpen our ability to endure, stick with it and plod patiently
forward. His methods of bringing all this about are usually not
welcomed or comfortable. The changes in his wake are typically felt as forced rather
than chosen. He strips us of our comfort zones and knocks us out of
ruts. Venus in Gemini helps Taurus to shift perspective. With this
Venus in charge, the cow is more inclined to be optimistic and more
apt to find incentive to accommodate the rumblings of Uranus. Venus
in Gemini makes it easier for Taurus to move on...something else
Taurus really doesn't like to do.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Venus isn't alone in Gemini either. She
joins Mercury who has been out of bounds since May 7. He remains in
this rogue position as he enters his pre-retrograde shadow May 14. He
returns in bounds on May 30<sup>th</sup> the day after he stations
retrograde. Venus reaches out of bounds on 5/23 staying rogue until
6/13. On May 24, all three of our most personal planets (Mars,
Mercury, Venus) are drenched in this wild card energy at the same
time. Mercury's retrograde pattern provides additional trickery and
tomfoolery throughout the ecliptic---a threshold we are pushed
through following our New Moon in Taurus on the 11<sup>th</sup>.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although the Lunar Eclipse in
Sagittarius at the end of the month and the Solar Eclipse in Gemini
in June may seem far away from us right now, they are actually more
close than they appear. As a matter of fact, we could be (if we have
not already) met with introductory ecliptic themes as Mercury crosses
the nodal axis in the wee hours of our Monday (2:44 AM). This, of
course, occurs prior to Mercury entering his pre-retrograde shadow.
There will only be a single pass for Mercury to our North Node. This,
however, also allows us time to set intention for the ecliptic,
Mercury Rx, to chart our general course ahead or, if we choose to just listen, we could even be provided the foresight needed so we can more clearly assess
the weather ahead in effort to become better prepared. This
conjunction occurs as 10 Gemini 44 at the end of the 1<sup>st</sup>
Decan of Gemini. The North Node back peddles moving toward the Sabian
symbol for 10 Gemini which reads “<span style="color: #cc0066;"><b>AN
AIRPLANE PERFORMING A NOSE DIVE.” According to Dane Rudhyar the
KEYNOTE for this symbol is </b></span><span style="color: #cc0066;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
A superior ability to challenge nature and play with danger.</span></i></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Further, Rudhyar describes this symbol's energy as an embodiment of
mind vs matter. This energy allows us to be inspired to take a chance
or to employ our current skills to precision. Either way, there is an
element of danger and risk. Our ability to come out the otherside
effectively and safely will be directly dependent on the mastery of
our own minds and perspective. Will the surges of adrenaline help us
to focus in on the task at hand or will we respond fearfully and
uncertain of our own abilities? If you look closely at the symbol you
can see the nose dive is being performed not forcefully incurred
indicating that we have the skills present and ready to pull the
stunt off.</span></span></p>

Monday evening, the Moon communes with Mars in Cancer (5:12 PM) by
sextile just before being destabilized, detached, liberated and
enlightened by Uranus in Taurus (6:36). This provides intuitive
insight while also instigating willingness or an impetus toward
change. Before our Monday is finished, Mercury in Gemini will sextile
Chiron in Aries. This can be like receiving encouragement from
friends or finding a work around for something that we are unable to
do alone. Then, the Moon in Taurus is held to task and boundary by
way of a square to Saturn in Aquarius. These celestial movements set
the stage for our Tuesday evening (3:00 PM) New Moon in Taurus.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: white; font-weight: normal;">The
New Moon begins at 21 Taurus 17 and casts the Page of Cups as her
Guide. The Page's presence echoes the energy coming from the smooth
sextile received from this Moon via Neptune in Pisces. The Page of
Cups encourages us to steer way from being overly zealous. Her
suggested approach is that of creativity, gentleness and kindness.
She recommends being accommodating, passive and indirect. Her
intentions are crystal clear and heart pure. </span></span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: white; font-weight: normal;">This
Page is a messenger of sentiment, emotion and dreams. In her
presence, dreams may be particularly symbolic, music especially
moving or connections with others tender. She challenges us with her
naivete and can become quite love drunk or forget to remove her rose
colored glasses or beer goggles. She can drown us with “touching”
messages or intoxicate us with enchanting fairy tales. Her words are
sparse but wafting about her is a natural type of music. Her steps
magically follow her unique silent melody while her movements seem to
make whatever mood she is in infectious. </span></span></span>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Page of Cups is an art student. A
vocalist, lyricist and musician. She loves to swim almost as much as
enjoys relaxing with dreamy naps in the sun. She's quiet. But, still
waters do run deep.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: white; font-weight: normal;">The
Page is innocent and somewhat vulnerable. She spends a lot of time in fantasy and escape.
From that we are suggested to be imaginative and creative in our
problem solving or in response to challenge. This Page is not going
to fight. She will soothe the situation before adding more heat to
it. And, if she doesn't want to deal with conflict, her budding
intuitive systems will advise her to steer clear of the turbulence. </span></span></span>
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ztLceBN4ghf3_q5sePWPkX7xRsHF5gPniXl9QvDmIuY-KoXrCBjWhobBOgQQpchz8pV8SwqLrtaUG6mAeQTRn22i7OVvWpPzNZ8C9KvzA0xjpZpeRcN2RiQn4dBGDcgc2kSyUtg2Deg/s257/mermaid+art.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="257" data-original-width="196" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ztLceBN4ghf3_q5sePWPkX7xRsHF5gPniXl9QvDmIuY-KoXrCBjWhobBOgQQpchz8pV8SwqLrtaUG6mAeQTRn22i7OVvWpPzNZ8C9KvzA0xjpZpeRcN2RiQn4dBGDcgc2kSyUtg2Deg/w305-h400/mermaid+art.jpg" width="305"></a></div><br><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The
Page's gentleness fits nicely with the softer more demure side of Taurus. In
light of instability and forced change, the Page can soothe the
unsettled cow and compassionately assist him with all his attached
emotions. Plus, this brings to mixture the elements of water (Page of
Cups) and Earth (Taurus). As the Moon pulls in Pluto by wide trine,
the energy of the ground at this New Moon is fecund and inviting.
Have great Voids truly been harshly ripped open in our lives? Have
dangerous sink holes and fissures been viciously torn open in what
was once solid? Or, has the crust of our slumbering fields been newly
plowed and divided. I guess the only way to truly ever know is to
throw in some seeds to see if something grows.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: white; font-weight: normal;">Of
course this analogy reflects the conditions that await our New Moon
intentions. The ground is fertile following the May Queen's spring
clean. Our fields appearing at one moment barren and full of
potential the next. Regardless of how this new space became opened
and even though no definite outcome has been promised, all that
remains is deciding which potentials we are willing to invest in
limited only by our imaginations. </span></span></span>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: white; font-weight: normal;">Those
potential investments become our intentions. Our focus. Our
fascination. We feed and tend them learning as we go. All other
potentials are weeded out. Snatched up as tender sprouts, these
undesired results are not allowed to steal resource from our
cherished plants. Those moments of tending, weeding and cultivating
reside a bit further out from where we find ourselves at this New
Moon, though. As she dawns, we are merely standing ankle deep in rich
fertile mud with a few sprinklings of hope and a bucket of
desperation barely able to craft a hazy image of what it is we want
to grow. </span></span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: white; font-weight: normal;">Few
of us will be 100% certain of what it is we are doing as most
endeavors at this Moon will translate to new stuff on individual
levels. The work we have ahead us taunts and allures equally. Yet we
realize the road behind us has been closed off. Before us then
resides only two options: moving forward or standing still...becoming
cemented in the raw swamp sewage the Universe has just wrenched from
your guts as the Moon waned deeply. For most, it's easy to see it's
worth it to emerge from the muck and take a chance on finding better
conditions down the road ahead. Some, due fear or a variety of
personal reasons, will choose to wallow aimlessly in the middle of
their own mess. Each road chosen having purpose that does not
outweigh the position of the other. Wallowing worms create an aerated
and fertile soil providing beautiful support to that which chooses to
grow. </span></span></span>

</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Here
also we are confronted with a symbol of guidance, and the dove flying
over troubled waters reminds one of the story of Noah and the Ark.
Noah met his and mankind’s crisis courageously and in complete
obedience to God’s promptings. The test completed, he received the
dove’s message. It is a message from the Holy Spirit announcing a
new Dispensation. This symbolic scene can be applied to personal
crises resulting from emotional upheavals or from the irruption of
unconscious forces and impulses into the consciousness — if the
crisis has been faced in the right spirit. This second stage symbol
is in contrast to the preceding one because here it is not the
product of a culture, a “book,” but instead the rhythm of cosmic,
God-ordained cycles that reveals its conclusive beat through a living
and concretely significant sign — a</span></span><span style="color: #ff0066;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
energy of the Sabian for this degree resonates nicely with the energy
of our guide, the Page of Cups. Like the Dove, the Page's symbolism
resonates with peace, purity and innocence. She is most certainly a
student of faith and the sea. Learning to focus upon her North Star
or her true light of purpose while traversing any trials of storm or
lull, feast or famine while remaining willing to go down only with
her ship. She knows she will face elements and conditions that are
beyond her control. But, her sense of direction is set. She has
learned to bypass some of the threats imposed by the inevitable storm
by keeping her eyes above it and on her destination allowing neither her focus
or intent to waiver. Just like the Dove, her homing mechanism or
directional system is love. Something within the Page quivers with a
yearning for a peaceful place, sanctuary, home, something to believe
in, serenity, harmony...her heart sings a Siren's call to Nirvana. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Venus,

the North Node in Gemini. Her symbolism according to Dane Rudhyar
reads as follows: </span></span>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0066;"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">HOLLY

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0066;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>KEYNOTE:</b></span></span><span style="color: #ff0066;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
A longing for the pre-intellectual state of consciousness.</span></i></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></i>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
intellect ruled by the ego has taken all that had been seen by the
translucent mind (the “glass bottomed boat”) and has given it a
logical, rational form. Yet old memories of childhood and its naive
faith sometimes make their way into the consciousness. They are
aroused by what remains of the ancestral images that once had great
vitality and power (mistletoe was sacred to the Druids). The holly
with its brilliant contrast of red and green recalls a more primitive
and magical sense of color, as exemplified in Tibetan art. A
nostalgia for more natural and feeling-oriented values tends to lead
to a movement of protest — thus, to the intensification of the
emotions in the individual personality, or to the Romantic Movement
after the post-classical and post-rationalistic European period. </span></span>

</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This
is the fourth stage in the thirteenth series. It recalls the fourth
stage in the eighth sequence (Phase 39, Taurus 9”) symbolized by “a
fully decorated Christmas tree.” But the vivid experience of
childhood now has become only an obsessive or nostalgic memory. It
heralds a resurgence of deeper values and aspirations which had been
forced back into the collective unconscious. What is stressed here is
the value of tradition-based archetypes during the process of
“discovery,” a </span></span><span style="color: #ff0066;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>RETURN
TO THE SOURCE</b></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">.
The contact with archetypes may nevertheless lead to explosive

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This
Moon provides us opportunity to perceive of matters of our core. Once
we have been stripped, that which is core and essential is hard to
miss because it's all we have left. We may be able to identify our
deepest values or become more intimately acquainted with what it is
that is of true importance to us. The ground we stand on may feel
uncertain and unstable. It's highly likely we stumble around a few
times until we become more well adapted to the terrain. Yet we can
identify, employ and define our skill sets while remaining willing to
allow things to develop and shape out in their own time...including
ourselves.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pressuring
ourselves to identify definitive outcomes robs us of a chance to be
experimental and imaginative. Nothing in the future need be set in
stone at this time. The North Node in Gemini promises to throw a few
time ripples and monkey wrenches in our near future during an eclipse
season that unfolds during a Mercury Rx anyway. Mercury out of bounds
in Gemini laughs wildly at any plans written in ink right now. Only
our resolve and devotion given to the cornerstones of our values need be
locked in place while we are allowed to stay open to all potentials
and possibilities. </span></span>

these potentials and possibilities are fed with hope and pure
intention then inevitable surrender to the forces beyond our control
comes more quickly and are supported with faith. But, if we feed our future
fear and bathe it in the fire of hatred, the ground we are working
with becomes hard and unforgiving. We become stuck and stagnant. Resistant to change and unsupportive of our growth. Essentially, when we each look at the blank spaces rendered before us at
this New Moon, whether we believe we are standing in nothingness,
shut out, empty with despair or we believe we have been gifted with
something magnificent and full of potential....we will be correct. The
seed sown. The intention set.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br></span></p>

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>From the New Moon in Aries<a href="https://yourshocktherapist.blogspot.com/2021/04/new-moon-in-aries-2021-justify-means.html" target="_blank">blog:</a></b></span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Between this New Moon and
the next Full phase, the planets do shift about quite a bit. First,
Venus enters the sign of Taurus on April 14th meeting with Uranus in
Taurus on the 22nd. The Sun and Mercury enter the sign of the bovine
on April 19th. Mars leaves the sign of Gemini and enters Cancer on
the 23rd shortly before Mercury finds Uranus in Taurus by conjunction
on the 24th. The day before our Full Moon in Scorpio, Mercury and
Venus are conjunct in Taurus as both square Saturn in Aquarius. The
two week period between these two lunations swings the energy first
toward grand and far reaching initiatives with Jupiter only to met
shortly thereafter with the potential subsurface motivations that
unwittingly drove those initiatives through their squares to Pluto.
As these bodies ground themselves in Taurus, we are then led to their
conjunction with Uranus. These conjunctions can catalyze or enlighten
us in regard to ways we can free ourselves from behaviors or choices
potentially driven by shadow. The squares to Saturn in Aquarius from
this eventual processional of planets in Taurus bring consequence for
our actions either way. “</span></p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Super Full Moon in
Scorpio rises on April 26<sup>th</sup>. Poetically, it culminates
just before midnight on the East Coast. From what I can tell, we are
very polarized in our opinions of what is right and wrong currently.
Wherever we stand in our opinions, fears or beliefs at this moment,
we are sure of our position. Within this fixed sky most are rooted
fairly deeply. From here, our beliefs are challenged. Our minds
preparing to rewire. Some will remain rooted but more enlightened to
why it is they are positioning themselves in opinion and belief as
they are. Others will be fully knocked out of their ruts and
challenged to accept what is true and deemed collectively or by
societal consensus acceptable.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, that doesn't mean that
the opinions and beliefs of those shaken meld with the consensus as a
result of the energies we have coming into this moon. Some folks will
become metaphorically frozen in time in refusal to move forward with
new values. This happens. All the time. This is a season within our
collective mentally where fixation and stubborn clinging to outdated
thought patterns will occur.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGeWRJvliBsel1JLWsrDIREIw_cbyDo9vtCS2SQkS-lUa9d1_I9-qNIKgG1ctHUIUhcfAtxFo610P50pXKmsJtDAO9UZOYnNl7LEVrlvNyyOph94DcM8cEk4RiVq4VPW0whGfKZ3ozaA/s252/solo+frozo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="252" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGeWRJvliBsel1JLWsrDIREIw_cbyDo9vtCS2SQkS-lUa9d1_I9-qNIKgG1ctHUIUhcfAtxFo610P50pXKmsJtDAO9UZOYnNl7LEVrlvNyyOph94DcM8cEk4RiVq4VPW0whGfKZ3ozaA/w640-h508/solo+frozo.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Adding to that, we also have
3 personal planets that move out of bounds in the days to come. Mars
is out of bounds now having garnered that status on March 21 and
holding it to May 24. Venus heads out of bounds on May 23 and returns
on June 18. Mercury slides out of bounds from May 7 to May 30 his
return ushering him into retrograde. Without getting technical, out
of bounds planets typically correlate with extremes and in some ways
the planets with that status act rogue as if they are not connected
with the rest of the energies in the sky or the chart. That means all
our most personal planets are going beyond with fewer indoctrinated,
accepted or trained restrictions to tether them. It's as if they are
feral.
</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fOEQTJV_3-w" width="320" youtube-src-id="fOEQTJV_3-w"></iframe></div><p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">On the whole, though, the
energy seems to beg us to inspect our motivations while challenging
what has been conditioned in our core and then giving us “incentive”
to level up. That incentive comes by way of the rocks and shocks
delivered to the collective by way of the continual conjunctions to
Uranus from our most personal planets. It comes in the form
destabilization and is delivered via metaphorical lightning strikes
in our collective consciousness. All of it feeding into the core
themes of Saturn in Aquarius versus Uranus in Taurus throughout 2021.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are between the spaces of
these squares from Saturn and conjunctions to Uranus. Venus meets
Uranus by conjunction on April 22. Mercury finds Uranus by
conjunction on April 24. Then, Venus and Mercury huddle together in
conjunction to meld heart and mind onto the same page. This is where
certainty becomes solidified in metaphorical concrete. But, each are
also challenged by modernization and regulation as Mercury and Venus
in tandem square Saturn in Aquarius on the 25<sup>th</sup>. This is
also where folks incorporate more highly developed values and beliefs
finding ways in which their beliefs or values were less chosen and
more conditioned.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKlIBmZ-4V9SuJrBcV-eo8eSwSmaCrcFy1uFLOGo8sJ7lcvAY-mI4X0wCWSltoj7_tWLdw8-tyZir0Ejy7gJAU1CTjs5n4oPyhGRK3VkLMJ0vxJbhvxxSvKSZ8am2aJEddbjIZCFpnPts/s297/power.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="170" data-original-width="297" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKlIBmZ-4V9SuJrBcV-eo8eSwSmaCrcFy1uFLOGo8sJ7lcvAY-mI4X0wCWSltoj7_tWLdw8-tyZir0Ejy7gJAU1CTjs5n4oPyhGRK3VkLMJ0vxJbhvxxSvKSZ8am2aJEddbjIZCFpnPts/w400-h229/power.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the energy that
frames the set up of our Full Moon which will bring emotions and
standoffs to a heightened emotional state. Of course there is a power
struggle mixed in this. Scorpio and it's co-ruler, Pluto, are all
about power, it's use and the intentions motivations behind the
wielding of power. Many folks deny the existence of their power. Yet
it abides even if denied or left to lay latent. The power of choice
always exists for everyone and that is the struggle that we are
wrestling with right now. Our power of choice is being challenged by
regulation with some folks revolting against and some revolting for
the regulations handed down by the powers that be. Folks have strong
reasons or motivations for their choices. At this point most can
justify about every one of them. In some instances this is a deadlock
while quite a few are still weighing their options, listening to the
debate and thinking over how to move forward with Mars (co-ruler of
this Moon) still in Gemini.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mars is due for big changes
though. He enters the sign of Cancer prior to this Full Moon. On 4/23
our Full Moon co-ruler is no longer responding to information,
curiosity or a desire to learn. From Cancer our emotional and
intuitive natures take over the controls of Mars. That brings forth
the potential for conditioning to bear influence again as Cancer
connects directly to the core of ourselves. We are driven from the
sign of Cancer by our conscious or unconscious core. These are drives
from the gut instead of the head. Plus, we loose the flexibility of
Gemini and exchange it for the Cardinal but indirect energies of
Cancer.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cancer's instinctual and
emotional influence brings forth a stronger sense of passion for
Mars. His drive is ruled by instinct much like that of a Momma Bear.
Mars in Cancer is defensive, protective and hungry. Plus, the sign of
Cancer is related to our basic healths (physical, mental, emotional,
spiritual). So our ability to engage or assert ourselves is not only
going to be dependent upon what mood we are in, it is also going to
be dependent upon our overall health. That and the concept of
familial or karmic influence will rise to the fore as Mars squares
Chiron during our New Moon in Taurus on May 11th and opposes Pluto RX
in early June.
</span></p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yet, probably the biggest
news in relation to his Full Moon is the fact that our lunar
co-ruler, Pluto turns retrograde the on the 27<sup>th</sup>. What
that means is as this big Full Moon culminations, it's ruler is
quivering in station emitting tremendous energy. Pluto is about
transformation, death, taxes, power, psychology and shadow. All this
adds great intensity to this Moon with Pluto's station heralding a
major purge on either intangible or tangible ways. We are challenged
to let go and turn the decay over into the ground to fertilize new
growth. But, Pluto will tempt us to dive even more deeply into
misaligned psychology and conditioned drives. The intensity has hang
time too.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">If the station of Pluto
wasn't enough to make this Moon intense, we also enter the quickening
of the eclipses following this lunar period. May awaits with the
Sagittarius Lunar eclipse at the end of the month. In the meantime,
Mercury turns retrograde on 5/29 after another conjunction to Venus
once she enters Gemini. The “quickening” of the eclipse is met
with the haywire energy of Mercury retrograde--the planet that just
so happens to rule the sign of Gemini where the eclipse and our North
Node resides.</span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/drFwteZd12c" width="320" youtube-src-id="drFwteZd12c"></iframe></div>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">That means the choices we
make and actions we take now during the intensity of this Full Moon
meet with further challenge or reinforcement during the eclipse.
Opportunities emerge and doors slam shut at the eclipses basically as
a result of what occurs and the choices we make in the time we are
currently passing through. That is typically how things usually go
(our past actions and choices create our future), none of this should
come as much of a surprise. However, it is a signal not to hold to
tightly to what it is you think is right or wrong because there may
be crow served eventually. Our minds and situations are due to change
in big ways as we move forward with the main challenge being an
ability to adapt to the changing circumstances because that's what
humans do. As a general creature, humans have always tried to move or
reach forward. We call that evolution but it is an instinctual human
drive to improve or advance themselves and their existence.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our guide for this Full Moon
is the Queen of Cups. You can read about her in more detail<a href="https://yourshocktherapist.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-queen-of-cups.html" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #cc0066;"><span>here</span></span></a></span></p><p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Queen holds a Cup with a
cover which indicates her emotions and intuitive nature are contained
and controlled. That's suggestion to also maintain control and
awareness of our own intuitive, instinctual and emotional nature. She
also has power. She is, after all, a Queen. Her waters are clean and
protected but they are also useful to her. She uses these waters to
help her wield her power. With Mars in Cancer, her passions run high
at this Moon. But, she's not the type to war or argue. Instead, she
supports and nurtures without allowing her personal opinions or bias
to influence her choice of where to bring support. She realizes her
opinions and beliefs are hers and that they are not accessible for
others to influence. She also realizes that they don't matter. What
matters is that there are folks in need regardless of what they think
or believe. She is driven to help meet those needs in a way that
overcomes a concern for making folks agree with her. Consensus is an
important thing in regard to maintaining society. But, this Queen
says what good is a society is all its members are suffering and
sick? I shall tend to that.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Full Moon in Scorpio
marks a time of spring clean up. This is when the dead, old and
discarded are scraped up into a big pile and either recycled or
trashed. This includes tangible items. Once again, my communities
“Spring clean up” week falls during this Full Moon. This occurs
not only in my community but in several through the nation all
falling right in line every year with the Full Moon in Scorpio as if
we are collectively responding to our astrological instincts without
conscious realization. (yep, that happens ALL the time).
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">The other side of that is
scrapping debunk thought patterns, beliefs, unhealthy connections and
routines that are long past due for a change. This is a Moon to dump
off shadow processes in the interest of their transformation into
tangible power. This is the Moon to use to dig deeply in to your own
psychology and clean up what is tangled or askew.
</span></p>

guide, this is a very private affair. She may know everyone's
business, their needs and how to care for them. But, no one knows
much about her as it resides hidden and controlled in her capped cup.
The New Moon's guide of the Knight of Coins, sent us off on a hunting
expedition to find our personal golden crown. But, the Queen of Cups
yearns for no assets or acquirings. The tangible goods matter about
as much to her as the fact that your opinion differs from hers. What
matters here is our humanness and our need for peace, comfort,
security and connection. Finding ground and center within your own
emotional body is key. Then, with bias and opinion capped, we are
called to reach out in supportive ways toward one another. Realizing
that regardless of our stance, within that puffed chest beats a
heart. A heart that has been challenged, broken and unsettled just
like our own. That is the only part that matters to the Queen. She
will charm and soothe the heart in effort to temper the beast within.
Her whole objective being peace and tranquility. Neither of which can
be achieved when their folks who have legitimate needs that are being
neglected and overlooked.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">At this Full Moon, expect
emotions to run high on individual levels. Take care of yourselves
and move gently. Take out the trash and allow your opinions to lie at
the wayside so the healing of our division can begin.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the Sun at 8 Taurus:<b>
A SLEIGH ON LAND UNCOVERED BY SNOW. </b>
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>KEYNOTE: </b><i>The value
of anticipating and preparing for expectable conditions. </i>
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here we have a combination
of two factors: “the sleigh,” which is a product of traditional
skill (cf. Taurus 6° symbol) and the ability man has to foresee and
thus to prepare for a future situation. This ability relates this
symbol to the one for Taurus 7°, because the woman from Samaria had
‘the capacity to receive a revelation of the future state of human
evolution, though in a different and subconscious sense. Man should
be ready to use past knowledge and skill to meet the demands of a
stage yet to come. At this third stage of the eighth five-fold
sequence we should realize the value of <b>FUTURE ORIENTED
IMAGINATION</b> but also of relying upon the natural order of
unfoldment of all life processes.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the Moon at Scorpio 8:<b>
A CALM LAKE BATHED IN MOONLIGHT. </b>
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>KEYNOTE: </b><i>A quiet
openness to higher inspiration. </i>
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;">One could stress the
romantic suggestions such an image evokes, but even at the level of a
love relationship what is implied is a surrender of two personal egos
to the inspiration of transcendent feelings which are essentially
impersonal. Love expresses itself through the lovers, for real Love
is a cosmic undifferentiated principle or power which simply focuses
itself within the “souls” of human beings who reflect its light.
The same is true of the mystic’s love for God. Man strives hard to
achieve great things through daring adventures, but a moment comes
when all that really matters is to present a calm mind upon which a
supernal light may be reflected. This is the third stage of the
forty-fourth five-fold sequence. It tells us that beyond all efforts
lays the need for peace and the readiness to accept the illumination
from above. The Keyword is <b>QUIESCENCE.</b></span>

Her advice is to be nurturing and accepting of the
waters. She coats grains of sand with this fluid magically removing their sharp edges. Instead they
become beautiful gemstones. She encourages endurance and being compassionate/gentle in our
dealings with others more so than punitive or restrictive.
She doesn't say much. But, she will make sure you know that you are loved in spite of your
humanness. She ensures you receive comfort from her right along with a nice home cooked meal. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This
is one of the most charitable Queen's in all the Kingdoms. In lean times, she provides her people with
things like water, food and her time for listening. She can't sit at her table and enjoy her own bread
when folks outside her window are starving. She has loads of empathy and cannot help but to care for
those that suffer the more harsh constructs of the material world. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5yeqq3kDtPzKMFnN0gyNhmqn1AojnSFHkAabmBDvPLd5_icqSX6QX8p6b4XfknUQOgqpVxz8jHWzqCtGtKWSPpH1eNu9C43hrXC1mpFj8mQccWyNNM812qjwJkrbwU0i6vQGYNapBMKM/s629/queen+of+cups+guide.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="629" data-original-width="449" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5yeqq3kDtPzKMFnN0gyNhmqn1AojnSFHkAabmBDvPLd5_icqSX6QX8p6b4XfknUQOgqpVxz8jHWzqCtGtKWSPpH1eNu9C43hrXC1mpFj8mQccWyNNM812qjwJkrbwU0i6vQGYNapBMKM/w285-h400/queen+of+cups+guide.png" width="285" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">She encourages you to be in command of your waters. To use your compassion and empathy in a way
that it brings support and healing toward others. She wants you to lead others by modeling how
strength is displayed through gentleness. She wants you to involve yourself in spreading peace,
comfort and relief into the world where you can. She wants you to command your intuitive nature so
that you can interpret its language and use it as guide to help you know how to move forward. The
message doesn't have to make sense to anyone else. It only needs to feel natural, comfortable and
right to you. The results will stand for themselves.</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufNCQvIOyxWCmdz_FXR2wIrzPO51GN0hSXUCqZmBY6ueJIuBWx_vFMQ6I7ZWwW7UWB9IFJOomBE404HLO8ybW4_Xf8VTR8fhS4Juhd_apYZhserNUgxbVj3-rHM2bMl-4qDkT2obUQjc/s1493/queen+of+cups2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1493" data-original-width="903" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufNCQvIOyxWCmdz_FXR2wIrzPO51GN0hSXUCqZmBY6ueJIuBWx_vFMQ6I7ZWwW7UWB9IFJOomBE404HLO8ybW4_Xf8VTR8fhS4Juhd_apYZhserNUgxbVj3-rHM2bMl-4qDkT2obUQjc/w388-h640/queen+of+cups2.png" width="388" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Queen (alluring and enchanting like a siren's song) is also a behind the scenes or anonymous supporter. She encourages you to be
of emotional support to others but she wants you to know that some things can be done to help and no
one needs to know where it came from. The point being to fulfill a need of someone else not our own
need for recognition. She's fine letting someone or something else take credit as long as the need was
met. That's the important part. She certainly does fund and supports the arts. She is quite the artist in
her own right. She allows her imagination to be indulged but not to the point that it is a distraction
from her main job of keeping the peace and helping her people receive the care and nurturing they
need. Everything has its place. And, service to those who are dependent upon her is where she always
begins.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmbHMLyX4J_Fw7VXhd_iQkw5Z868CGcoocVxXWw9gfyb9_bS0lUXH0X75919muQBYJzenYxfwugLP1ffa_pScKBD4I9PR-Qzdiet8ysIejApa-aE4_CN3OkWADpuX7RbpS99LLaIGZWw/s400/queen+of+cups3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="240" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmbHMLyX4J_Fw7VXhd_iQkw5Z868CGcoocVxXWw9gfyb9_bS0lUXH0X75919muQBYJzenYxfwugLP1ffa_pScKBD4I9PR-Qzdiet8ysIejApa-aE4_CN3OkWADpuX7RbpS99LLaIGZWw/w384-h640/queen+of+cups3.jpg" width="384" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Yet, she is a woman of secrets and mysterious ways. Sometimes it seems as if she can imagine things
into existence. She is convincing with only a look. A look that is forever changing under stray flowing
locks. At times, she can be at risk of keeping her anger well hidden. In cases such as that, the threats
of storms will loom on the horizon finally erupting when her well runs over.
She doesn't enjoy that part of herself. There is guilt in causing damage. She is always quick to confess,
express remorse and accept apologies. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wyQUCYl-ocs" width="320" youtube-src-id="wyQUCYl-ocs"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>Josi Casehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09320229533135379346noreply@blogger.com0
