Dear, Elsa It is said Neptune stands for faith, but it also stands for a dislike of the real world. How can you be faithful, if you live in a place that you don’t like and that never satisfies you … Read More…

Hillary Clinton ~ President Or Prison?
25 Years ago, if I was a US citizen, maybe I would have voted for Hillary Clinton. Back then I was a naive liberal, fresh out of art school, but most importantly, there was no alternative media. Even 10 years ago, in my then feminist mindset, I still might’ve thought any woman as a candidate was […]

Terrorism, the Discovery of Chiron and Great Art
Chiron, the erratic asteroid that weaves between Uranus and Saturn, was discovered on November 1, 1977 on a photographic plate that had been taken on October 18. That second date might just ring a bell for you if you happen to be interested in contemporary art – because it’s also the collective title of some of the most famous works of art about terrorism ever made. Gerhard Richter’s weird, grungy pictures grouped under the title 18. Oktober 1977 reimagine the demise of Germany’s notorious Baader-Meinhof gang. On that day, three members of the gang were found dead in jail — as depicted in Richter’s compellingly creepy series. Officially it was suicide, but the circumstances […]

October 1st, 2016: Mercury in Virgo Opposite Chiron Rx, Venus in Scorpio Trine Neptune Rx

A day for compassionate release.
Mercury in Virgo opposes Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 22 degrees. Looking too closely at the flaw, or for the flaw, won’t help. Sometimes it’s better to release what’s broken, rather than pinning it down with an observation. Staying silent and listening with compassionate empathy will be more helpful than offering solutions.
Venus in Scorpio trines Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 9 degrees. Love is expressed through complete acceptance of the darkness. Embrace what makes you most uncomfortable and allow yourself to relax into the shadows. There are no limits here, and this is where you discover the jealousy, lack of control or “shameful” secrets, aren’t as bad as you thought. And maybe that relationship fear simply dissolves. This aspect is more about compassion than passion, but it can still be quite intense.
It’s Time For The Media To Push Back On Lies! – video
Here’s an interesting segment from yesterday’s Thom Hartmann Show but I must ask: if we could take lying away from the media and the politicians they ‘cover’, how could any of them communicate? Why, the false reality they feed us these many years would dissolve and show its true face behind the elaborate mask they’ve created to keep the public uninformed and diverted from the facts:

September 10th, 2016: Saturn/Neptune Square, Yod to Mercury Rx

New Moon Eclipse in Virgo: The Saturn/Neptune Publishing House
The September 1st New Moon eclipse (at 9 degrees Virgo) is all about the Saturn/Neptune square. New beginnings will be based on the square’s shifting versions of reality. Your eyes may have to adjust to these freshly printed truths.
The Sun and Moon will square Saturn in Sagittarius and oppose Neptune Rx in Pisces. Everything I wrote about here , has been building through August. And maybe as far back as November 2015, when the square first took shape. This eclipse will be the cherry on top of the sundae that’s been melting and freezing, melting and freezing.
The new facts (Virgo) will be the results of old ideas/structures dissolving, and new potentials gelling. This process is anxiety-making. As I wrote in an earlier post:
“Squares create discomfort, and this square will make you uncomfortable because you’ll be confronting an illusion, or fear. Or both….trying to fight under a Neptune square is tricky. The target can shift and dissolve.”
It won’t be a triumphant eclipse. There will be some humbling. This is Virgo, after all. You may have to give something up. But, if you’ve held fast in the face of dissolving evidence, insisting that your faith was aligned with the right thing, this eclipse might prove you correct. Not with a blast of trumpets, but with a quiet *click* as the confirmation arrives. But this will only happen if you’ve been tuned into the real deal. If you’ve been trying to prop up a fantasy…get ready to say goodbye.
The Mars/Saturn conjunction from August 24th, and Mars/Neptune square from August 26th, will also be featured, as Mars will still be close to Saturn/Neptune. Which takes us back to August 13th, when Saturn stationed direct at the degree it conjoined Mars. Or, back to April 17th, when Mars stationed Rx. Any or all of these dates could hold an important clue about what will go down, during the eclipse. The Mars trigger could involve work that needs to be completed, or action/anger that’s been denied and undermined. Mars battling Saturn/Neptune is like running on shifting sand dunes. And yet, you find a way to move forward.
Before we get too discouraged, let’s take note that Mercury Rx (ruler of this eclipse) will be very close to Jupiter in Virgo, at 28 degrees. That’s some good news (due to a review or repeat), no matter what the eclipse brings. This harkens back to August 22nd, when Mercury direct first conjoined Jupiter (another key date with an eclipse hint).
The facts will be hopeful, or at least helpful. Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so there’s an indication that you can grow within Saturn’s new realities. Jupiter always means expansion, and Neptune is also an expansive influence. Any losses or restrictions were just side-effects of you being shifted into a new position. Now that you’re correctly aligned, you can move onwards and upwards.
Finally, this eclipse is aligned with the Virgo North Node/Pisces South Node. The bigger picture is about new facts/information pointing you forward so you can develop something whose time has come. The future is real, and this eclipse will give you a guidebook, hot off the Saturn/Neptune press.
You’ll notice the multiple dates connected to this eclipse. In true Mutable fashion, its impact has been unfolding in layers. To clarify, I’ll give you a list. The dates before September 1st have provided clues about what the eclipse will bring. The dates after September 1st will indicate possible delayed eclipse events, or information yet to be uncovered. An additional layer may unfold, but for now (September 1st) it’s not quite ready. A prime example is the Full Moon eclipse in Pisces, later in September.

The Asteroids and Dreams of Republican VP pick Mike Pence
On July 15/16, 2016 or thereabouts, 2016 Republican nominee Donald Trump tweeted his VP choice of Mike Pence, the pro-life, pro-gun, megachurch member and governor of Indiana. Considering the odds of Trump dropping out of the race or a subsequent de facto Pence presidency with Donald doing most of the talking, it behooves those of us who appreciate the information Astrology provides to
Saturn Direct in Sagittarius and Venus in Virgo

Saturn in Sagittarius stations direct, at 9 degrees on August 13th. The ever-shifting Saturn/Neptune square goes through another adjustment. What was put on hold when Saturn stationed Rx will move forward. The rules, the truth, have been redefined. Or, your understanding has changed, due to Saturn Rx’s intensified reality check.
Venus in Virgo squares Saturn Rx, defining your first task. A deficiency will be revealed and you’ll be able to implement a major correction. Relationships or habits that have been eroding your self-esteem can be tightened up. Or deleted. Saturn is about boundaries.
Venus heads into an opposition with Neptune Rx (11 degrees Pisces) on August 14th, and crosses the North Node, on August 15th. After the Saturn squeeze, there’s relief and a clue that you’re heading in the right direction. As ruler of the Pisces South Node, Neptune opposing Venus asks you to release old patterns of guilt, victimization and addiction. Why are you punishing/sacrificing yourself? Why are you trying to fix something that’s beyond repair? You’re not helpless, and your future lies in the opposite direction of what you’ve been pining after. A conjunction between Venus and the North Node in Virgo points you towards your healthiest relationship or financial option. It helps you make the most discerning choice about your future happiness.
