Astrologer S. J. Anderson coined this term recently and I saw his post on Twitter, He pointed out a very rare occurrence happening today.
All 4 planets which rule each Cardinal Sign are in their right places. CARDINAL signs are the initiating signs
Arcimboldo Four Elements Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
The moon is in Cancer ♋️ which it rules, making us want to nurture others, connect with family, feed our tummies and stay safe at home.
Venus in Libra ♎️ her sign where she brings Justice, beauty, love, relationships, and strives to hold the balance of the opposites.
Saturn in Capricorn his ruling sign where he’s been since 2018. Bringing us heavy duty serious mature patriarchal corporate business, testing, limitations and endings.
Mars in Aries, Retrograde in his own sign is making us exhausted, frustrated, impatient, tense as nothing is moving forwards until November 13 when Mars turns direct. Mars rules initiations, energy, testosterone, anger, fire, war, defences, guns, and explosions.We won’t be able to move forward untul November 13 when Mars turns direct
This is a rare event, when all 4 planets are in the Cardinal signs we are puled and focused in 4 directions. A Grand Cardinal Cross by signs. Take it as a sign. This is the sign of earthly matters reality. Are we hung up on the Cross?Are we martyrs like Jesus?
What is being initiated in all 4 Elements and Directions now?
How do we achieve balance in this chaos stew as every one is biting their nails about the election outcome? What is the new initiation all about?
Remember that our bodies are made up of the 4 elements.

December 27 will be the luckiest day of the year as Jupiter the one with the most luck and expansion will be in the Heart of the Sun, called CAZIMI aka ZAMINIUM an Arabic word and one of my new favourite words. Literally, this is a super lucky Golden opportunity that no one wants to miss. Its the optimum time to do ritual.
if it’s your birthday today you really luck out,
Helios personified at 3 times of day Anton Raphael Mengs [Public domain]
Cazimior “in the heart of the Sun” is the position of a planet at the Sun’s core where it gets a special blessing.
Officially JUPITER conjuncts the SUN at 10:25 am PST 1:25 pm EST and 6:25 pm GMT at 5 degrees, 41 minutes of Capricorn
DO look AT WHERE THAT DEGREE IS IN YOUR NATAL CHART to find out where the heart of Gold is.
CAZIMI is when a planet is in tight conjunction with the Sun within 17′ (minutes of arc). The Sun’s radius on the sky is 17′. This planetary position is said to be one of great strength, the planet is strengthened by the Sun’s rays. When a planet is in cazimi the Sun bestows great protection on the planet, a cosmic protective hand. But only for a short time. Anything beyond that 17 minutes and the planet is considered to be burned out and fried in the sun’s rays called combust.
JUPITER is not visible in the sky right now since December 15 and will remain hidden by the sun’s glare until January 15
by my calculations anytime from 1:11 PM est OFFICIALLY 1:25 PM EST and the Sun and Jupiter remain within 17 minutes of each other until 10:17 pm
Because of this great lucky time its the best time to make LUCKY POTIONS using the SUN and JUPITER associations. Because they are in Capricorn this is a grounded realistic, material wealth energy. Yes, I know Jupiter is not in great shape in Capricorn opposite its exalted position in Cancer but the SUN brings Jupiter into a royal golden regal light.
The word Cornucopia or horn of plenty is derived from Capricorn. From the Greek myth of Amalthea, the she-goat who nourished the infant Zeus/Jupiter with her milk.
Capricorn rules business, governments, fathers, time, architects, history, museums, senators, seniors, churches, contracts, antiques, watches, anthropologists, deserts, civil servants, mathematics, granite, sculptures, bronze, chiropractors, caves, mountains. Capricorn rules the spleen, and bones of the skeleton.
The sign of Capricorn in the Tarot is symbolized by Major Arcana #15 THE DEVIL, the ancient God Pan. We can sell our souls to the Devil for worldly material success, he is temptation. The other card symbolizing Capricorn is the Court card, the Queen of Disks.
Saturn/Capricorn is the manifestation of spirit on the densest, slowest vibrating levels, worlds or dimensions. We are all here in 3D as incarnate spirits, souls embodied. We need to respect this physical plane as it offers us all types of experiences which souls desire to learn from. We can enjoy the material world as a mirror of the higher dimensions too as long as we dont get caught in the devil’s bargain and sell our souls for those worldly riches.
this is the best of the best days to make a Golden Liquid Luck potion like in Harry Potter.
to do a GOOD LUCK RITUAL on December 27 between the appropriate times.
assemble as many of the items as you can be associated with both Jupiter the Sun and Capricorn
Ceremony and ritual doesn’t have to be complex.
here is a list of associated items for JUPITER and the SUN and CAPRICORN and a CAPRICORN meditation is at the end.
Herbs: herbs of the Sun include Angelica, Ash, Bay, cloves, Cedar, Calamus, Chamomile, Celandine, Eyebright, Frankincense, Juniper, Mistletoe, Rosemary, Saffron, Safflower, St. John’s Wort, Sunflower, Tormentilla, and Walnut
PLANTS: calendula, sunflowers, St. John’s wort, saffron.marigold petals,
For healing, Jupiter is associated with the 3rd eye in Medical astrology. Adaptogenic herbs help the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis. also known as the god center which is also known to be the origin of our hormones. which are the molecules of consciousness, the command center?
Very popular adaptogenic related to Jupiter: ashwagandha (Sun-Jupiter), astragalus, Bala, cordyceps, schizandra (Jupiter-Venus), licorice, ginseng, gynostemma, reishi, Suma, Tulsi.
For cleansing and Liver tonics: Dandelion, Yellow Dock with Sun, Oregon grape root (with the sun)
Plants and herbs Carnations chestnuts, rose, sage, dandelion, nutmeg oak,
Gather the items you will need to set up your sacred circle and alter with any associated images, a goat, cornucopia, or mountain scene or symbol as you wish. Connecting with the earth element, barefoot is recommended. Being indoors is fine too. Have a potted plant in earth and crystals, stones or animal bones representing Capricorn.
Begin by smudging with the appropriate incense or oils. Center yourself by breathing. Light your candles one by one for each direction. I always work EAST to SOUTH, WEST and NORTH. Different traditions use different orders, use whichever feels right. Always move clockwise. Call in the four elements, directions and the four Archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Ariel, Raphael and then close your eyes.
Give thanks for what you have learned since the Sagittarius Full Moon. Set your intentions on connecting with Saturn as the great teacher to give you practical guidance into reaping from the Cornucopia.
Breathe in through your nose, send your intention and breathe into your root chakra. Visualize or feel your root chakra growing like a tail slowly through the floor, down through the earth, past the crystals and minerals into the molten iron core. When you feel the connection to the earth’s fire, breathe it back up again through the rocky strata back into your root chakra and then breathe it up from the lowest, 1st root chakra through each chakra one by one to the 7th chakra. You can also send your intention out beyond your crown chakra to the 8th and 9th chakras. The 8th is your Higher self, it is Gold about 1 foot above your head. The 9th chakra symbolizes the Galactic Center and beyond. Direct your energy out there, and call upon your Holy Guardian Angels to be present with you.
Now direct your attention within. Visualize and feel yourself as a goat climbing the mountain peaks towards your goal. If you aren’t clear about your goal yet that is OK, you will try to discover it now. Feel yourself prancing easily and gracefully from one rocky precipice to another. You have no fear of heights or of falling. You are confident and focused on reaching the peak. Once you have arrived at the peak of your personal mountain ask Saturn to help you see any unconscious obstacles or karmic blockages you may have overlooked. Take your time and keep breathing.
See everything on your life’s journey from this higher perspective. The eagle comes to talk with you. You are on equal level with the bird of spirit now. Look critically at the levels and tests you need to pass in order to get to the top. Take notes. Ask Saturn for wisdom and maturity and for how to overcoming any obstacles. This is not making a pact with the devil but respecting physical boundaries. See Saturn as a wise old man with a white beard although he can appear as any image. Sit and listen, be patient, know that you are being tested. Saturn will show you what you need to discover about yourself.
See yourself transform into an older wiser white-haired elder mature version of yourself. Feel that you have eons of experience in your bones and a long memory. Visualize all the goodies that the Horn of Plenty offers you. Choose which of the goodies are the most valuable to go after. Take what you learn in this meditation into your bones. May a vow which you MUST keep to do the work to get to your goal and complete the tasks. Ask Saturn for patience.
Take the time you need. When you feel complete. Give thanks. Come out of your meditation and write down what you learned. Make a short term goal list of things you will complete in the next six months and longer.
Go out afterwards and walk, feel your body, do something practical. Be grateful for being alive and in the beauty of the physical world.
Felix Felicis, also called “Liquid Luck”, is a magicalpotion that makes the drinker lucky for a period of time, during which everything they attempt will be successful. It turns an ordinary day into an extraordinary one.

December 28 Mars in Pisces conjunct Chiron today @ 28+ degrees PISCES
this translates as the last critical 29th degree, the very last degree of the Zodiac, the karmic fulfillment point. This aspect has been building up for a while now and I am sure you have felt it. Mars in Pisces since November 15th, leaves on December 31 which is excellent timing for a new year.
This is the most acute point of vulnerability now as Mars’s is a spiritual warrior.
For all empaths, psychics, intuitive’s and energy healers I know that many of us have been feeling sick, exhausted and overwhelmed by this karmic world soul wound healing releasing process energy. Everyone is feeling it.
Spiritual Healing is what this aspect is all about. Remember that you are an infinite spiritual being. Take this time to work with your spirit guides, guardian angels and other invisible helpers. The only way to heal is through vulnerability, fully experiencing and accepting your wounds, that’s when the healing begins.
This is very much like A.A. The addict must admit their addiction, helplessness, wound and pain before they can begin on the healing path. Unconsciously we are addicted to pain. But its more than that this. It’s spiritual soul healing so that we integrate, accept, and fully feel our pain so that we may transcend it and become enlightened and that’s exactly what the 29th and last degree of the Zodiac is all about. This is what our soul’s came to earth to do.
PISCES- born March 15-20th you are feeling Chiron and Mars right on your Sun and being hit the most by this impact. Do your own healing now and be gentle with yourself. no guilt or remorse or regrets or hiding from your pain. Go to rehab, find a great healer, get community support. Heal yourself first.

John Sandbach and his Chandra and Omega symbols
Pisces 29. A book of healing mantras. (Omega Symbol)Transforming/Responsible
(Degree Angel: Haiyael (HA-ee-ya-EL) Prophecy and Parallel Universes, Divine Warrior/Weaponry)
At its highest, this degree senses what is needed in every situation. It realizes that where the focus of attention is placed is where energy will be magnified. We become what we focus on. There is a feeling here for the symbols that recur to us, the ideas that flow through us in repetitive fashion – and the ability to use these as keys to greater understanding and a way off the wheel of karma.
The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “Balinese dancers wearing elaborate gold costumes.” To make everything beautiful, everything important – golden and shining – is the power and the art of this degree. The dancers tell many stories through their movements, but in each story they all wear the same gold costumes, just as in life no matter what role we play we may always bring to it a spiritually elevated, cosmic element. In whatever this degree does there can be a sublime grace and elegance. The need here is to realize that gift and through focusing on it, to magnify it as much as possible.
Pleiadian Symbol: The shifting and modulating of light frequencies creating messages in color.
White lilies blooming alone in the shade. (Chandra Symbol). From a cool, clear purity evolves beautiful rituals through which cosmic meaning is expressed.
A large pool filled with white water lilies in bloom. To envision the grace and beauty shining forth from everything brings to the world an emotional peace and clarity that one desires to share with others.

Remembering and missing Capricorn David Bowie who passed away two years ago today. I examined his natal chart and even though David knew he had cancer he fought it until the end. I also show the planets at his death. He is survived by his widow beautiful Iman and their daughter Alexandria {Lexi} Zahra Jones 17 and his son Filmmaker Duncan Jones 46 and a grandson Stenton David Jones born 6 months to the day after he died.
It’s fascinating to me that on the stellar SUN VENUS PLUTO conjunction on Jan 9 yesterday is perfectly aligned with Bowie’s Natal Sun-Mars conjunction in Capricorn. Perhaps he is being reborn on this day. His legacy shines on and is more appreciated than ever.The Indigenous people say it takes usually around 3 years of earth time for someone to reincarnate. A much longer period than the 49 days of earth time that the Tibetan Buddhists state.
So shocked and sad to hear of legendary musician David Bowie passing away January 10, two days after his 69th birthday. His 27th album, Black Star was also released that day to great critical acclaim and immediately went to the top of the charts. Bowie had been secretly battling cancer for the last 18 months. The album bravely explores death and dying through songs like “Lazarus.” The video shows Bowie on a hospital bed, with bandaged eyes, writhing around and singing ” Look up here, I’m in heaven. ” Jesus brought Lazarus back to life in the Bible, telling his followers that “This sickness will not end in death.” This album is Bowie’s swan song, a gift to his fans and the people of earth. This makes listening to it now more poignant because of his loss.
Some people think that David Bowie was the greatest rock star ever. David appeared as the most glammed up of stars, Ziggy Stardust, the thin white Duke, or Berlinesque balladeer, the androgynous space man and actor, in a career that spanned 46 years.
Bowie, Star Man, the man who fell to earth…
David Bowie, born David Jones, was recognized as a unique, innovative, multi-talented musician, actor, producer and innovator. His androgynous appearance and his proclaimed bi-sexuality, opened up acceptance for gays and bisexuality. The androgyne is an alchemical symbol of wholeness. Bowie was married twice and leaves behind a son Duncan {Zowie} born in 1971 who has become an award winning film maker, directing Moon in 2009. Bowie also leaves his widow Somalian born super model Iman and their daughter Alexandria born in 2000.
David inspired millions of fans since his early Ziggy Stardust days. Space Oddity was his first hit in July 1969. The song was recently covered by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield in May 2013 broadcast from the International Space Station, the first recording from space, reviving interest in Bowie to a new generation. A recent International Museum show of his artistry and fashion has toured recently to great acclaim. A recent theatre production in New York which he co-wrote just opened three weeks ago. David Bowie will be sorely missed and his music always remembered. He is a Star Man.
DAVID BOWIE’S BIRTH CHARTShows the Space Oddity, Rebel, Rebel qualities
David Bowie born January 8, 1947 in Brixton U.K. is an earthy Capricorn, who always felt like an alien, an outsider.With his Sun and Mars conjunct in the 12th house of the unconscious, he definitely was connected to a very different reality. The 12th house is the home of everything mysterious, deceptive, dreamy, imaginative, spiritual, karmic, craziness and genius and where all artists source their inspiration. The 12th, is the house of the unconscious, depth psychology, projections and addictions. The 12th house is Neptunian, formless, shape-shifting, deeply emotional and shamanic. The 12th house is also the house of insanity. Bowie wrote a song called ” Aladin Sane” and was hounded by his own demons throughout his life.
David Bowie’s birth chart also features a number of very interesting placements. His Mercury is OUT OF BOUNDS at 24 degrees 23 minutes South Declination. This means that David’s means of communicating is, well, just like the tag sounds, unbounded, beyond the constraints of normality. Out of Bounds planets are rather rare. David’s Moon and Mars are both at 23 degrees 18 minutes of declination, 10 minutes away from an exact cusp of being O.O.B. These aspects create another sense of alienation and rebellion in David’s emotional and masculine drive. O.O.B. make people with these placements agents of change and challenge for the collective who are hemmed into the status quo.
LIFE ON MARS?
One of David first backup bands when he performed as Ziggy Stardust, was called the Spiders From Mars. David had the planet MARS conjunct his SUN. These two planets drove him towards worldly fame. David was a very hard-working man, and astute businessman who protected the copyright of his music and invested wisely and was worth billions. His Sun and Mars, ruled by Saturn give him longevity, staying power and like fine whiskey, ge tbetter with age.
His eclectic AQUARIUS Ascendant, is the mask of the alienated, higher-consciousness, freedom loving rebel. “Rebel. Rebel” was one of his hit songs. His persona was always innovative, pioneering, pushing the envelope. Aquarius’s symbol is lightning and the most famous icon of the 70s was David’s face from his album Aladin Sane with the lightning bolt on it.
Uranus the ruler of Aquarius is in his 4th house of his roots,the foundation. In GEMINI, the sign of the twins, communications, and conjunct to his North Node.The planet and North Nodal karmic energies are combined.GEMINI North Node is always about communicating, marketing, duality, questioning, remaining intellectually curious.
Bowie was destined to be the Star Man. Uranus trines his Natal Neptune in Libra in the 8th house of sexuality and transformation. This gave him unusual artistry. Neptune is the higher octave of Libra and this made it easy for David to bring his always evolving creativity into his music and fashion.
URANUS also forms a finger of God or a Yod aspect in his chart.
A finger of God is exactly what it sounds like. It is formed by JUPITER in SCORPIO to the Sun and MARS in CAPRICORN in the 12th. Jupiter in Scorpio is extremely sexual, charismatic, powerful, phoenix-like and controlling. David always played the tart. His music was always very erotically driven. David had a very fated Uranian mission to bring the starman who fell to earth into our consciousness to change the world.
Sun/Mars in Capricorn sextile Jupiter in Scorpio describes exactly. “The Man Who Sold the World.”
HIs SOUTH NODE is in Sagittarius at 11 degrees in his 10th House of Fame and worldly success.
11 degrees Sagittarius is conjunct to the GREAT ATTRACTOR. A massive gravity anomaly in intergalactic space whose mass is so large it sucks everything into it. According to Philip Sedgewick people with this point prominent have lives that impact the world in ways far beyond their perception. The G.A. aspect brings “around the bend” vision, a precognition of events. Bowie’s genius was to be ahead of his time. Bowie also had the Asteroid Juno conjunct his South Node. I believe that Juno is the feminine form of genius. His Venus is in Sagittarius right on his M.C.his world FAME spot. He wrote a song called Fame too. Venus rules artists. In Sagittarius Bowie loved being a gypsy, a metaphysician, an inspirer, a philosopher and world traveler. Venus in Sagittarius also points to his soul mate Iman, a beautiful exotic woman of different racial background.
MOON conjunct SATURN Retrograde with PLUTO in Leo in his 7th house of relationships.
This is a very heavy weight combo. Saturn rules his Capricorn Sun. In Leo with the Moon conjunct Pluto is a heavy, dramatic, hugely emotional, powerful, obsessive creative, self-expressive route to fame. David played to the dark side often. I am sure he had huge emotional ups and downs.
AT HIS DEATH
David died from liver cancer, diagnosed 18 months ago. He had been afflicted by the Cardinal Cross energies from Pluto the planet of death which has been conjunct to David’s Mars and Sun in his 12th house of secrets since 2014. Uranus has also been squaring David’s Sun and Mars during this time too. The liver is governed by planet Jupiter expands whatever it touches. Jupiter was in Leo in July of 2014 affecting his Moon, Saturn and Pluto, all very karmic, around the time his cancer was diagnosed.
Chiron the Wounded Healer in Pisces was transiting his first house and had been squaring David’s natal Uranus. David used his illness as fuel to launch into a completely new type of musical genre, jazz fusion for this last album, becoming the wounded healer.
Saturn had just crossed David’s Venus and Mid-Heaven {MC} in January of 2015. He has been working on this album and the New York theatre production “Lazarus” which he co-wrote, had just opened December 7, 2015.
Planet MARS, a huge topic for Bowie was crossing over his Natal Chiron in SCORPIO in the 8th house of death and transformation bringing him some peace.
The VENUS/SATURN conjunction exact on December 8th, on David’s birthday was exactly on his South Node in Sagittarius opposite his North Node. Saturn is often referred to as a Black Star. The title of the last album. To me this is a beautiful cosmic escort of the planet of love with the planet of death in Sagittarius. An inspirational way to leave the body. Saturn is the end of the cycle and David had reached it. This combination brings lasting accolades.
Neptune in Pisces has been squaring his North and SOUTH nodes. Another beautiful sense of a spiritual death, completion, going back to the being stardust once again.
On the New Moon on January 9th, a new beginning, the Sun and Moon together, symbolizing the void, and androgyny crossed over David’s Sun.
” We’re choosing the path
Between the stars
I’ll leave my love
Between the stars.”
“As the world falls down” from Labyrinth.
I’ve been feeling quite weepy all day. This has taken me a long time to write. When great artists leave the planet the collective feels the hole. I feel David went in peace and he can still feel all the love all of his family and fans have for him. We also need to let David go and appreciate the gifts of his music. He will be a spirit guide for many who tune into him.
Canadian film critic Richard Crouse stated it beautifully: “We should all be as lucky as David Bowie to have the kind of restless creative spirit it takes to live a life filled with ever-shifting boundaries, exploration and challenges. A life lived like an extended art project was his gift to us.”

July 7 The Moon is still in gregarious dramatic LEO all day. It will be a dramatic day.
There are 3 very important planetary aspects today which in itself is very rare.This is a super Cardinal T-square energy. Tensions will be felt.
Mercury in Cancer opposes PLUTO in the wee hours and the SUN opposes PLUTO 11 hours later.
Sun opposite to PLUTO is the opposite of where we were when the Sun and PLUTO were conjunct January 5th 2016 @ 15 degrees Capricorn. Think back on what you initiated then, what were your career and long term goals? You’ve come half way in that cycle on intention.
The SUN in CANCER has the spotlight on women, old fashioned needs to feel safe, homeland security and is very emotional. Pluto in Capricorn is the PLUTOCRACY, the 1% the to the death for the profit. Pluto in Capricorn can be ruthless, Hitleraian, the New world order or the soul’s journey to build its mission on earth and bring the material world into a place full of soul. We can see the players in this archetypal movie as the three candidates in the American presidential election of course.
How fitting that Hillary Clinton just got cleared of her email investigation by the FBI. Clinton was under lucky transits.
This is a VERY powerful stand off. All oppositions are stare downs. This is the SUN staring down the Lord of DEATH. Life versus death. In every situation in every moment that is really all that is going on.
This is indicates a rising up by women from traditional roles as stay at home moms and limited in their power in the world to seek and obtain higher realms of authority and power in the world.
If you are a woman who understands and knows her soul purpose than make a vow this day to achieve it. Pluto in Capricorn is patient. Use the SUN”s energy to source your deepest darkest most soulfull presence and use that light in the dark to guide you.
Use this energy to empower your vision, your soul’s true purpose and turn the light onto you souls mission. This occurs at 16+ degrees Cancer/Capricorn.
Beside the Moon canoodling around with A trine to Uranus and an inconjunct to CHIRON meaning your moods will be all over the place and spontaneous combunstion is highly likely- do avoid BBQ’s and handling dangerous items.
The other BIG TRANSIT of the day- and its rare to get three of these in one day and on a lucky numerology 777 day.
VENUS in CANCER is square to URANUS in ARIES @ 24+ degrees
This totals the days transits to create a A wide Supreme Cardinal cross.
This can present in many ways, my intuition said it could be an unexpected pregnancy, or a sudden change in your family, some chaos,can be leaking plumbing, children acting out, rebellion against MOM runs high. Think higher consciousness and out of the box to avoid being stuck at loggerheads with the same old same old issues. This is an opp to break free of the old family patterns. Freedom is good, Change is good. It is a higher evolutionary energy for women in general.
Let me know how this energy affects you. Especially if you have planets at 11-29 degrees of Cancer Capricorn Aries and LIBRA you are being drawn into the cross.
The energy will get back down to grounded as the Moon enters VIRGO @ 3:41 pm PDT/ 6:41 pm EDT/ 10:41 pm GMT.
Moon is in Virgo until July 10.
