Pisces Moon time is naturally Hallucinogenic Art
Pisces time, Lilith square Sun
It’s Pisces time, February 18 and our Consciousness is more compassionate, confused, dreamy, delusional, escapist, creative and spiritual.
“Death Valley” painting by Napoleon Brousseau oil and acrylic on canvas 2011. See more of this artist’s works Napoleon Brousseau
This is the time to focus on completions as Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. We are a month away to Spring in the northern hemisphere.Down under autumn will begin.
Mars is at the 15th most powerful degree in Aries ♈️today. There is more energy, fire, anger and independence in the air. Can’t you feel it?
Lilith at zero degrees SAGITTARIUS ♐️is squaring the newborn PISCES♓️ Sun which is conjunct to the South Node in Pisces.
Lilith also squares the North Node of the moon, in VIRGO, thecollectives’ highest spiritual goal. Women need to hone Lilith’s uncompromising stance. Hell no, we won’t back down.
Lilith in Sagittarius ♐️is much more visible, passionate, and honest with a wicked sense of humour.
Focus on your dream life, the life of the soul which speaks in images and puns. Your dreams and psychic intuitive energies will be stronger anyways. Pay attention to your subtle feelings.
Pisces times are emotional and we feel like psychic sponges. It’s time to withdraw,to work behind the scenes for now.
- It’s a good time to use the natural creative energy of Pisces. Allow the creative juices to flow through painting, music,drAwing, poetry and dance.
- It’s Also especially good to meditate, ato do yoga, to work with a guru or teacher who has walked the path and knows the Territory.
- Pisces energy makes us long to return to our original state of unity of oneness of bliss.
- Spirituality through imminent connection is the true way to connect with the source, you can call it god or goddess. It’s what we feel we came from and to which we’ll return. Find that place within your heart.
- The soulmate longing is strong now. Heal your own inner beloved relationship first so that you will see it manifesting outside of you.
- Do charity work, help the less fortunate. Volunteeer your time, give to a charity.march for those who have less than you.
- Pisces rules film photography and glamour. The academy awards always take place under Pisces sun time, it’s perfect. Work with these technologies as well.
Pisces ♓️is water element. Drink a lot of water, send prayers to heal the waters of the earth. Do ritual for purification with water.

How to use Saturn Mars for positive transformations
I’m in a Virgo New Moon mode. Did a lot of sorting, cleaning and de-cluttering. Felt much more focused. It’s good.
Paid homage to serious Saturn in Scorpio conjunct Mars in ceremony with my husband. It felt good. We have been doing New and Full Moon rituals for 18 years together now.
Mars is HOT. Pure masculine libido, testosterone, drive, daring, spontaneous. Saturn is COLD. Ancient wisdom, seniority, plodding, depression, serious, father, death. Two polarities. Marshall McLuhan Toronto’s media philosophy guru used to talk about mediums being Hot or cold. But they can work together. Saturn slows down Mars hot headedness. Mars brings passion and new life to seniors or depression.
Three Faces of Man by Judy Chicago 1985
“Youth is wasted on the young. ” George Bernard Shaw said. But energy always be accessed, manifested, held molded and intended for powerful, long-term, practical goals, through patience and persistence. Like the embodiment of the “superior Man” of the I Ching. We can create a middle polarity balance point.
I feel that Mars has taken Saturn hostage temporarily. Mars is the dispositor being Scorpio’s ruling planet.
The warrior and the tax man together. Life force, sex and old age and death. The young action hero, like Luke Sky walker and Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars and the wise old sage. The young punk and the cops. Pure energy and a wall of lead. There are many ways to think of these two planets.
As Saturn literally represents your father and if your dad has passed on like mine has, use this three days of the Dark Moon to connect with him more easily. I had a very powerful dream last night and my Dad was very present and spoke to me very clearly.
You better use this energy well, Mars can conflag Saturn’s controlling energies. You could also be feeling more like Saturn’s dragging your heals,got your under his thumb.
The planets don’t make us do anything. It’s all in how you use it. So use these powerfully intense planetary energies positively. You can use my intention. This is how Magic works. Put all your Mars desire into it.
“I invite this life-giving martial energy to energize my body, and my long-term goals,to completely transform my life into my Soul’s highest manifestation.” Ho. So mote it be.
Try it on for size and let me know how it feels. Feel free to invent your own variation.

Rehab weekend, Earth Trine Good luck ritual
It’s rehab time folks, after the intense VENUS square Uranus,conjunct PLUTO conflab. How about it ARIES? Did you get the unexpected, sucker punch is the word that comes to mind? Some Capricorn corporate types may have gotten sexy in the boardroom. If you love to dish the dirt then you should be in Heaven. How Venusianly dramatic did you feel it?
Moon’s mainly in tune in Taurus Nov 15- 17. A bit of a Taurean pun there.
Do you even have a relationship left? The energy is like the typhoon that hit the poor people in the Phillippines exactly only on an emotional/soul level. Long held back {Scorpio} type secrets are out. Like “Luke, I am your father”. The darkest ones, the one you only admit to your BFF’s, maybe your Mom, therapist, or your psychic. Or the ones you won’t even admit to yourself. Trust me I’ve heard them all. In my experience, Psychics and Tarot Readers serve the purpose of modern-day confessionals.
VENUS/PLUTO is good for artists. My hubby got good art kudos yesterday as Venus and Pluto are right on his Capricorn Sun in his 10th house and he is a professional artist.

Monday Moon’s in Leo, ROAR, debt ceiling
MONDAY -The last day of September goes out like a Lion with the Moon in Leo.
Drew Barrymore on a Vogue Magazine cover
The week starts off quincunxy- no not some weird new sex fad. Feline Moon makes off kilter and no Scottish sex jokes there either, aspects to Chiron the wounded healer, a centaur. So very animistic instinctive sort of a week beginner.
Moon TRINES URANUS @ 1:11 EDT you felt this last night on the West coast.
let that kitty out of its cage. Unleash your instinctual pounce.
MOON CONJUNCTS MARS in LEO @ 7:03 pm PDT @ 20-21 degrees The LION KING/ QUEEN
Check out where that degree falls in your chart. It’s where you will experience HOT HI DRAMA. Be BOLD, brave, heroic, roaring, proud, daring, get all the applause, stand up, wear your heart on your sleeve. Leo is the sign of creativity, self- expression, The perfect night to go to a karaoke bar. To Come out from under that lampshade, or wherever you are hiding it and SHINE YOUR LIGHT for all, or just a special someone to see.
Great energy to be in a play, see a play, something high drama, dance, make art, sing.
It’s also a childlike aspect so do let your INNER CHILD PLAY,PLAY, PLAY. Like that song “Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.”
To hell with worrying about a Debt ceiling.
Leo rules the HEART so if you’ve been to shy to tell someone how you feel you will have the courage to do it.
Make a beautiful dinner date, and it will be hot, hot, hot and heavy
especially as Moon also squares VENUS in SCORPIO @ 9:48 pm PDT/ October 1 @ 12:48 am EDT
That means, the power changes. You know, King for a day, Queen for a DAY,
Now the women have the reins. Then the Moon goes Void of course.
You have an amazing time to explore anything while in the void zone. And wake up happy and in a place of freedom,with no aspects.
ENJOY ENJOY! ENJOY! While You can. You create your reality, have a passionate sweet time while it lasts.
MARS in the Tarot is THE TOWER Trump #16 and LEO is Trump #8 STRENGTH, Yah I know the 8/11 thing.
The TOWER and STRENGTH side by side. Literally this means being a Tower of Strength.
October 1 Moon enters VIRGO @ 11:52 am PDT/2:52 pm EDT REALITY, back to work, sets in.
October will be a doozy. It begins all soft and dreamy
MERCURY TRINES NEPTUNE OCTOBER 1st @ 3 degrees 03 minutes of Scorpio /Pisces
thinking makes it happen, makes it real- focus all day, remember Mercury is in Scorpio
Virgo Moon opposes Neptune in the evening- how grounded was all that? You have to balance that conundrum out.
The Sun begins contact with the BIG T-square PLANETS October 1.
SUN SQUARES PLUTO in Capricorn 6:27 pm PDT from 9 degrees 01 minutes of LIBRA.
POWER TO The GOAL oriented PEOPLE, challenges to those in power, Corporations, and face offs with the Real people in power.

Inspirational Card of the Day,hope for broken hearts Astrology
Your Inspirational Card of the Day May 25
The 3 of Swords
THe SHADOWSCAPES TAROT by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
The 3 of swords is usually considered to be a heartbreak card, but in this beautiful deck it is about much more than that
it is about transforming the pain and loss into beauty, as signified by the white swan in the foreground.
The broken/bleeding heart seems almost to be a Dreamcatcher in the background of dreams lost and hurtful past memories.
But the purity of the swan signifies hope, trust in the process, the Ugly Duckling becoming the beautiful swan,
I love this image and this deck, it is truly extraordinary.
MEANING
Your pain and suffering have a higher purpose. It is as the Sufi Poet Rumi says
“In the slaughterhouse of love,
they kill only the best, none of the weak or deformed.
Don’t run away from this dying. Whoever’s not killed for love is dead meat.”
Astrology of this day
that wandering Sagittarius Moon after being eclipses squares off with Neptune in Pisces
like a torch lighting up a room of smoke and mirrors of romantic illusions,
Moon Trines Uranus in Aries which allows some brilliant new insights to light up the chambers of our hearts
Moon squares Chiron in Pisces the healing begins, the healing is in the wound,
Moon opposes Venus in Gemini- the duplicity of it all! seeing the double talking, the forked tongue, the ambivalence
and immaturity.
It’s time to allow the healing, you can no longer allow your heart to be hurt
with out understanding why and for what higher purpose.
then you become healed and transformed into your original beauty, with the purity of the swan.
then you can take to the skies and spread your hearts’ wings with love
Allow the love which you know you deserve into your heart.

May 12
has a very happy upbeat Moon Jupiter conjunction in Gemini @ 21 degrees Taurus
An air and earth combo. Get mom something light but sensual, a communication tool, a new learning experience.
Inspirational Card of the Day
comes from what else?
the MOTHERPEACE TAROT by Vicki Noble and artist Karen Vogel.
The first really different in shape and Feminist centric Tarot card deck, printed in 1983. It’s been hugely successful, over 200,000 copies sold.
MOTHER PEACE TAROT CARD DECK
The Lovers Trump # 6 GEMINI
So synchronous that the LOVERS showed up on Mother’s day. So sweet. I love it.
It is associated with the Sign of GEMINI- duality in one.
To love, one must have an equal and opposite mirror, polarity, Yin/yang.
LOVE IS ALL. Love is all we need. Love, Love, Love.
We are in a Universal LOVERS year as 2013 reduces to #6
MEANING
Drop all you old resentments,hurt and old emotional baggage about what MOM didn’t do for you
and turn that into gratitude and joy.
MOM gave you LIFE, for you to make of it what you will. Thank her and love her for that alone.
She gave you a great gift and walked in the shadow of death to give birth to you.
Mom may not have been perfect, still she made sacrifices for you. Mom may be like Mother Mary to you, all loving giving and compassionate.
Mom is both human and the Archetype of the Universal Goddess of creation and love who constantly gives birth to everything in the universe. She is the closest you will ever get to another person. You are her. You were physically in her body from the time she was conceived in her mother’s body. You have every experience and emotion that she had inside your own cellular consciousness. Plus your own karmic story of why you chose her to be your mother. Whewh, that’s a whole book in itself.
Love your mother and honor her today and everyday.
Take some deep breaths and see your mother as the Goddess, as the perfect mother, see her real frailty, her own wounds and struggles, and love her imperfection the same way she loves yours. Know that whatever her love or perceived lack of, that she love you unconditionally.
Love our mother the EARTH as well. Everyone is born of woman, your Mom is your, and everyone’s very real, living experience of the Goddess.
MARY CASSATT Breakfast in bed
Give Mom a Mother’s Day Tarot and Astrology reading gift http://www.taratarot.com/id78.html
Mom can use it anytime up to the day before Next mother’s Day – phone readings By Skype.
All pop songs are spiritual songs I have always realized.
