Chelsea Manning,not all Saturn return’s are all bad

I was happy to see that President Obama had commuted Chelsea, born Bradley Manning’s prisons sentence yesterday. I was curious to look at his chart and to find out WHY NOW? What do the planets have to inform us about the timing of this event?Chelsea identifies as transgender but hasn’t officially changed their sexual definition.

 

Chelsea Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, and Edward Snowden are in my books very brave, honest, true patriots who bucked the system of lies to listen to their own consciousness.  They are heroes, truly rare, ethical people and should be applauded as great examples of those who serve truth and higher justice and not the big corporate cabal or “fake news” which is what Donald Trump calls it too.  Would you listen to your conscience? Would you risk your life to back up your ethics and say no, the buck stops here?  Or do you just tow the line?

Manning is of course, a very serious SAGITTARIUS, whose Sun is on the Galactic Center conjunct to karmic SATURN. Manning’s karmic destiny is to serve truth, justice, ethics, history, International affairs,  higher purpose, and who is a teacher who serves “sacred law.” Saturn is conjunct to an OUT OF BOUNDS MERCURY, and the SUN, he communicates as a law unto himself,  to serve the truth. Chelsea’s father has a huge influence on how his life turned out. Saturn in Sagittarius is also related to the military.

URANUS is also conjunct SUN SATURN MERCURY and Chelsea is a natural born rule breaker,  whistle-blowing, revolutionary, freedom fighter who uses communications as a weapon. The whole generation born in late 1980’s has this SATURN URANUS CONJUNCTION on the GALACTIC Center.

A very powerful MARS-PLUTO- MOON Conjunction in SCORPIO!!!

Manning is one hell of a Scorpionic person, a real stinger. A sting is a clandestine operation.  Mars and PLUTO are the rulers of SCORPIO and they fall in the natural 8th house which is Scorpio’s natural placement. This is super scorpionic. This person is all about espionage, spying, secrets, power, control issues, money, obsession, detective work, research. This person came into this life as a fly on the wall. This is a very heavy combination. I wonder what their birth was like. This denotes someone who almost died at birth or there was a death around the time of their birth. Bradley is always a very intense emotional person. Probably a very secretive introverted loner and difficult to get close to. This person will suffer extremes of highs and lows in their life, many deaths and rebirths. Sex is also a major issue, as is a fascination with death and the dark side, the underworld, jails, and psychology.

Manning has his Ascendant and NORTH NODE, the highest spiritual goal, squaring SUN SATURN URANUS in PISCES and in a MUTABLE GRAND CROSS with CHIRON the WOUNDED HEALER conjunct to the NORTH POLE STAR in GEMINI. This speaks volumes about Bradley/Chelsea Manning’s karma.

The North Node at the 29th and most critical degree of PISCES is merely one degree away from completion of lifetimes of karma. I was taught that esoterically we most rotate through all of our planets until they reach the last degree the 29th/30th degree of PISCES. Bradley is almost finished incarnating throughout many lifetimes. He had to do the right thing to earn the right to go beyond the meat wheel of Karma.

People who have planets conjunct to the North STAR are natural leaders. For Manning his great wound and vulnerability is to communicate this sense of higher purpose. The North Star is always a pivotal guiding point.

Chiron in Gemini also shows someone who has a dualistic, split, transgender, mutable, changeable personality.It’s another way of saying what they would call bi-polar these days. There is an inner wound and confusion about identity.

JUPITER in ARIES in the 1st house trine the SUN and MERCURY

Bradley is an independent energetic firebrand. A self-starter, passionate, angry impulsive, hot-headed renegade who likes to live dangerously. Bradley spoke first and lived to regret his words or actions later as his Scorpio MOON is inconjunct to JUPITER.

VENUS is conjunct to CERES in CAPRICORN squaring JUPITER

Bradley is a conservative practical, all business like person who loves doing their duty. A hard worker who likes corporate structure. Venus conjunct Ceres is a very close bond to his mother and women in general, a strong feminine side. Bradley seeks career as a means of obtaining love. He is a nurturing person. He can be too forthright in declaring his affections.

NEPTUNE in CAPRICORN in his 10th house

there is a great deal of idealism about his career and role in the world.

WHY the PARDON NOW?

Not all SATURN Returns are all bad.

Yes Chelsea’s 1st SATURN RETURN is happening now as President Obama is releasing her early. Saturn is usually associated with confinement but for Chelsea, Saturn is also conjunct the Sun and URANUS planet of Freedom, so this is a karmic release. Saturn in Sagittarius is associated with publishing and I am sure there is a book deal in the works.

Saturn will square her NORTH Node in PISCES by the end of 2017.

Pisces rules films so I am sure there will also be a film about Bradley’s life or a Netflix’s bio-pic series or something of that nature.

URANUS is conjunct JUPITER and square Manning’s VENUS and CERES

Uranus the planet of freedom has been sitting on Manning’s Jupiter for the last six months or so. Liberation is here.  As Uranus moves further into Aries it will square his Venus and Ceres and this will bring a complete sex-change into his life later this year. Probably crowdfunding will raise the money for him.

NEPTUNE is tiring PLUTO

Idealism, spirituality, and compassion. President Obama is acting as Neptune for Manning granting clemency and showing compassion. Bradley will be seen as a hero.

PLUTO will conjunct Manning’s Venus in 2018-2019

There should be a lot of money and fame coming Manning’s way in the next few years.

I find it so fascinating to look at people’s charts and then to see the precise signatures as to what their soul is designed to do. It’s just like James Hillman wrote in his New York Times bestseller The Soul’s Code. He believed that each person has an inborn destiny. James Hillman, the eminent radical Jungian psychologist was also heavily interested in Astrology too.

NUMEROLOGY

Manning’s NUMEROLOGY also has a lot to say about Why now? Mannings birthday adds up to 2016. Because he was born in December this means that his DESTINY YEAR is from Dec 17, 2016- Dec 17 2017. So this is it!

Manning is a #9 a HERMIT, a Virgo like humble, hard working, desiring to serve, communicator who listens to his own inner light. That makes sense too.

I am a feminist and non-politically correct believer that your  DNA determines your sexuality. All the rest is icing on the real cake. I refer to Manning as a male.

What do you think of Bradley Chelsea Manning?

Lilith conjunct Mars in Libra, sex, transgender

BLACK MOON LILITH, the DARK GODDESS, the death bringer, the shunned dark side of the Feminine, the “other half” which Western Patriarchal culture tried to kill off and suppress is  back with a vengeance. She is not a vampire as is popular portrayed. She does not suck blood and kill people. She sucks semen from sleeping men and impregnates herself with it. The Patriarchy twisted this into her being a demoness who gives birth to and then kills 100 of her own children every day. Of course this is just a metaphor for “wet dreams” and against masturbation, which the Jews prohibit. The Egyptians, their bosses for three hundred years worshipped male masturbation. That’s where the dislike of it comes from.

Lilith is represented by Black Moon Lilith which in Astronomy is not a planet but the Moons furthest point in its orbit around the earth. The Moons orbit is elliptical and therefore its path around the Earth each month has two distinct points. One point in the orbit is the closest distance to earth, called the Perigee and the furthest point in the orbit, called the Apogee. Some Astrologers only work with the True, oscillating Lilith point or the  “mean Lilith” which is a balance point. There is also an Asteroid named Lilith to further complicate matters. 

Historically one treatise on Lilith comes from the Left emanation,  mystical writing of which predates the Zohar a book of Jewish mysticism. It  states that Samael {Satan or Lucifer whose name means the Light Bringer} and Lilith, who must actually be VENUS as Venus Lucifer when she is in her Morning Star aspect, are in the shape of an androgynous  being, double-faced, born out of the emanation of God, and corresponding in the spiritual realm to Adam and Eve, who were likewise born as a hermaphrodite “were like the image of Above” of an androgynous deity.

Lilith_(John_Collier_painting) John Collier [Public domain]

Lilith (1892) by John Collier

Black Moon Lilith {Mean Node} will be in Libra from August 25, 2015 to May 21, 2016 

Lilith conjuncts Mars exact  December 1st at 10+ degrees of Libra. 

Lilith was the first woman and her conjunction to Mars in Libra may bring out men’s fear of women being equal. But to me it is a sense of JUSTICE in the Tarot #8. 

Lilith the  Dark Goddess deserves to have her rightful place reinstated to balance out the imbalance in women’s roles. Men have lived out of balance in rigid roles as well. 

This is a strong marker of Equality of the sexes. New Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau immediately created his Liberal cabinet of half men and half women. “Because it’s 2015” he said. 

This is very apt aspect with the issues of transgender, gender neutrality and fluid sexuality being Hot martial topics.

 Lilith is the stronger here as Mars is in Venus’ sign and weak. Many LGB are not accepting transgenders posing as women most famously because of Caitlyn Jenner being given womanly status.Many feminists are also rejecting transgender male to females as being accepted as women or lesbians.

“Cousin Fifi” by Napoleon Brousseau 1999 Oil on canvas Size: 84 H x 67 W x 2 in
Exhibited at the Angell Gallery Toronto, The Fifinochio Chronicles 1999

This is a very political debate and for me it is totally based on the pharmaceutical industry crating and controlling the issue and is therefore another version of the status quo, another Patriarchal Frankenstein monster, creating a better woman from a man. My husband artist Napoleon Brousseau is writing a book about this. This debate will go on for a long time. I respect people feeling like they may feel like they were born in the wrong body but being androgynous, which is originally the way we were created ,is a perfect thing in itself.  It is the symbol of wholeness.

Be both sexes in one,  be yourself don’t change anything. Transgender in its present status furthers stereotypes about men and women. 

We are all seeking that magical equal relationship. This is a very powerful potent aspect of that. 

If you have planets with in 5 -15 degrees of Libra this aspect may help you to take more action to balance both your male and female sides. All Cardinal signs at those degrees Aries, Cancer, Capricorn which is the Cardinal cross degrees are also ignited by this aspect. 

Many strong women have Lilith Mars aspects in their astrology charts. 

Lilith stays 9 months in one sign correlating to the Moon and gestation. 

There is a longer and different take on Lilith in Libra at the Cosmic Intelligence by Agent 55 Vanessa Guazzelli Paim who has written a book on the subject http://www.cosmicintelligenceagency.com/2015/11/15890/

Gemini New Moon with Mars,Galactic Astrology

June 16 Gemini New Moon @ 25+ degrees of the Twins conjunct to Mars

occurs @ 7:05 am PDT/ 10:05 am EDT/ 2:05 pm GMT

Gemini New Moon

Image by C.C. Jofra 

A New Moon with Mars, planet of men indicates a new beginning, a powerful new identity {SUN} and emotional {MOON} change in that testosterone driven half of the twins.  

This will be a heady, busy, difficult, time  for the next few months.

Gemini is the mind, our consciousness and symbolizes the apparent duality of this dimension. Gemini is the first Air sign,the place where consciousness enters from the Aries first sign spirit spark to the Taurus physical plane to the Airy mental plane or world.

The Twins are the apparent duality of the opposites, yin/yang, black/white. Gemini symbolizes the twin aspects of our brains, which is really one mind, one brain, wholeness in essence. The myths of the hero twins exist in every culture worldwide.

That split, that splinter, or fragment in our minds was not always there. It was really inserted thousands of years ago by Mars driven aggressive defensive politics. The Masculine macho warrior conquering hero Patriarchal God story was created to control women, to take away the power from the Goddess and from the earth, Mother Nature in the Old Testament. That 5,000+ year old split has destroyed millions of people, mainly women, species, cultures, landscapes, lakes, rivers, and entire continents. We live in the results of such an out of balance split off Mars belief in war, competition, domination, greed and lust.  If it continues unabated, it  is actually a Mars ruled Scorpio unconscious suicide mission for all life and the planet. 

CHIRON in PISCES is squaring the SUN MOON MARS trinity

it is good to look back from where we have come. We need to feel our actual vulnerability and to heal the wounds of the Patriarchy. We are all suffering because of the imbalance of the sexes . The patriarchal view of the world is not real, it is an addiction, simply a belief, a  GEMINI thought form. Once men and women had more equality, women were the ones in power, with men being their consorts.  Nature was revered, children, women and creativity, tribal connections, a simpler life was the way people chose to live. Women in tribal communities supported each other, as in the novel The Red Tent. Men were hunter gatherers and protectors of the women and children. This is a natural order.  Men suffer too, they are not allowed to feel, they act like cardboard cut outs of false beliefs about honor, patriotism or the false beliefs of all organized religions.

Like him, hate him or indifferent to him, Bruce Jenner as the popular archetype symbolizes the Mars competing sports hero who is integrating the lost Feminine energies. We need this energy now more than ever. If you see Bruce Jenner and the trans community from a Transpersonal level then Bruce is helping to heal  this split. He symbolizes the masculine who is  extremely embodying that energy of embracing the feminine again. In times of crisis brave people step forward,although unconsciously. Even though Bruce and the Kardashians seem superficial, vain, and have high status on another level Bruce is carrying a huge gift as a living symbol.

Mars Sun and Moon  conjunct the North Star,  a pivotal compass point of your highest goals. Sun MOON MARS are also opposite the Galactic Center. The G.C. at 27+ degrees of Sagittarius is a place of massive infra-red rays and symbolizes a conscious awareness expansion. It is a wormhole, a portal for souls. The Dec 31 2012 Mayan galactic center Winter Solstice alignment helps us to see how far we have come in two and a half years. It seems longer than that,doesn’t it?

SUN MOON MARS are inconjunct to SATURN in SCORPIO at the most critical 29th degree. 

Mars rules Saturn while it is in Scorpio and Uranus while in Aries.

Saturn is the PATRIARCHY itself, the history, the testing, the force, the Fathers. This shows another KARMIC aspect to the ending of many old patriarchal patterns. Saturns’ slow Retrograde over the last degrees of Scorpio will bring about many emotional deaths, rebirths, transformations in sex, power, money, control, secrets, ruthlessness, greed and obsession. That is a good thing.

Grand Air Trine

lifting out thoughts higher. MERCURY in GEMINI to the NORTH NODE in Libra to CERES in AQUARIUS the Mother Earth Goddess in her revolutionary techno- phase.  Where are we going collectively, thee North Node. How do we integrate our knowledge that we are the consciousness of the earth Herself? Major questions about how we are using the technological tools and the harm they are doing to our bodies, our children and the future of the earth. Young people are developing new tech tools to clean up many eco-messes. We need to implement new ways of using this extended consciousness to serve positive outcomes on all levels.

GRAND FIRE TRINE

URANUS in ARIES, JUPITER in LEO are trining ATHENA the Warrior Goddess in SAGITTARIUS.

Athens, the Ancient Capital of Greece which was dedicated to Athena, a later patriarchal Goddess of war, is going through some major revolutions and upheavals right now. Athena was originally an AMAZON fighting against the patriarchy in Libia. The Prime Minister refuses to back down to Germany and the bank creditors. Greece may be exiting the E.U. The original Amazon warrioress Athena is being played out again. A fire Trine brings more heat passion and spontaneous energy. 

We are still under Cardinal Cross energy and Uranus will move into 20 degrees Aries soon. 

June 15/16 VENUS in LEO is inconjunct {135 degree aspect} to Neptune in PISCES  her “higher octave” very late tonight PDT and tomorrow early a.m. EDT in effect on the New Moon.Watch out for your dreams, projections and ideals to be challenged. What is real and true in your heart values and what is illusion, addiction, glamour or fantasy are the questions to think about. This can happen both on the reality level and in your dreams.

This can spell relationship and romantic challenges. VENUS IN LEO is like STRENGTH in the Tarot  and Neptune in Pisces is like THE MOON, the dark side, fear.

This Venus/Neptune aspect is further enhanced June 17 as a Cancerian Moon trines Neptune. It is in effect until June 19 when Moon quincunx’s Neptune and June 20 when Moon conjuncts Venus and then there is a powerful Venus inconjunct to Pluto on Solstice June 21.

An inconjunct is like two people who speak totally different languages. It’d like bad sex, there is no vibe, it doesn’t feel right, something is off. YOU know what I mean.

Venus is our values, in Leo they must have dominance, be the QUEEN BEE, lioness, drama queen, vain, eating up the scenery. She can devour everything in her royal path. Venus in Leo rules the heart. She can be proud, courageous, bold, a natural leader, competitive, a selfish  egotist bitch on a bad or good day depending. You will see her claws come out. She can be addicted to perfection, her way and no other. The Goddess must also stay in balance.

Neptune in Pisces is super sensitive, highly emotional, a psychic sponge, compassionate, spiritual, creative, an artist, romantic, into soul mates, delusional, addicted, believes in past lives, a New Age,  martyr. A power hungry ego VENUS in LEO can ravage sensitive Neptune in Pisces.  Women are also victims of acting like a man in women’s clothing.

Venus in Leo dreams big. Will power, strength of purpose, confidence, she has that in spades. Neptune in Pisces is usually shy, blending in, camouflaging themselves, self-sacrificing. The most  necessary lesson for PISCES energy and peeps is to learn boundaries, which Venus blesses us with aplenty.

Act bolder, trust your passions and instincts and your HEART most importantly and not drown in our insecurities, self-doubt and being martyrs to these ancient belief systems which are not serving our Galacticentric worldview.

Caitlyn Jenner transgender Astrology

Bruce Jenner, Olympian athlete revealed his new transgender name and identity June 1, 2015. A new twitter account appeared @ 12:17 pm  EDT. That’s a public birth announcement and a birth chart. I was writing a Bruce Jenner birth chart article, which I will still do, post and compare. Let’s investigate who she/he is through her astrology chart.

I’ve also used Asteroids Eros #433,Hekate #100, Pandora #55, Loke #4862, and #25456 Caitlinmann

 

 Cailyn Jenner is a GEMINI of course, what else could she be? Ruled by planet Mercury, she is, like the planet, a hermaphrodite, an androgynous, twin-sexed being. Gemini is the sign of the trickster who always keep us guessing, messes with our minds and never wants to grow up or get old. Mercury is communications, analysis, the media, loves to talk, and is mutable, ever changing, like the wind.

The Sun symbol of the self/identity/ego is conjunct to Fixed Star Aldebaran at 9 degrees + Gemini. This is one of the Four Main Archangel Stars, Michael. It means the Eye of God, or Stella Dominatrix. With a Mars like nature, this Star confers, firmness, courage, integrity and strength all of which Caitlyn has had to use.  

The 11th degree Sun in the Sabian symbols means, “newly opened lands offer the pioneer new opportunities for experience.” The meaning is “we find the human being essentially engaged in his {or her} personal and particular struggle for full and effective individualization.” Perfect. 

Caitlyn’s Gemini Sun is ruled by MERCURY RETROGRADE where it is the most powerful according to Ancient Indian Vedic astrology. Mercury Retrograde natal peeps always “think differently, outside the box” whether that box is gender, or Wheaties. Caitlyn loves to talk and to play, with people’s minds and ideas about who she/he is. There may be many replays or rewinds in this identity journey. Caitlyn is a karmic re-identity.

Caitlyn’s Moon is in Scorpio at the next to last most critical degree. The Moon is the most feminine of all the planets. Indicating feelings, intuition, moods, Caitlyn/Bruce’s own mother. The Moon indicates our deepest emotional needs for security and home. Scorpio Moons always speaks of Death, Transformation, and Rebirth. Scorpio Moon is Fixed, obsessive, all about power, control, deep desires which have been hidden, sex, and charisma. Her Moon and emotional needs are heavy.

The MOON is conjunct Retrograde Saturn at zero degrees Sagittarius. The Moon/Saturn conjunction in two signs shows another dual quality to Caitlyn. This aspect gives emotional suppression and problems from childhood, with a staunch Saturn abiding to honor and keeping a stiff upper lip.

SATURN in SAGITTARIUS is the teacher. There are karmic Retrograde secrets that have been hidden in Bruce/Cailyn’s past. Saturn Retrograde indicates the past/present life karma of Bruce Jenner the Sagittarius, Olympic Athlete, the inspiring breakfast of Champions hero. Saturn Retrograde conjunct the Moon literally symbolizes past life memories, especially those tied to being a woman, a mother, and a difficult birth or death or both in past lives. Saturn rules maturity, seniors, Caitlyn is born at 65 years old and is most like a post-menopausal female.

The Moon rules C.’s Cancer Ascendant with VENUS the Goddess of women, beauty, wealth, luxury, relationships and flirting in the 12^th house of the unconscious, past lives and self-undoing, on the Ascendant.VENUS is the prow of the ship. You will see Caitlyn’s beauty, vanity and wealth  first and foremost. Venus in Cancer is very emotional, sensitive, and sentimental with family being everything. Didn’t Jon Stewart nail it perfectly? Of course you are going to be known for your appearance. Venus is square to Uranus indicating the technological basis of the beauty and the revolutionary new  image. Caitlyn’s beauty is also induces shock.

SATURN rules Capricorn which is C’s Descendant where she/he interrelates with all others. There is something strictly business going on here. Yes Caitlyn’s transformation will make the already wealthy = $100 million smackers Jenner even wealthier.

Saturn also rules the 8^th Aquarius house in traditional rulerships. Saturn is the physical world and Aquarius is technology which is the means whereby this sex change is made possible. All transgender people depend on drugs, hormones, surgery, all modern technologies bringing Aquarian freedom. Aquarius is beyond gender, unisex they used to call it.

MARS is in Gemini in the 11^th house also Aquarian natured along with the Sun and Mercury. Mars is the planet of everything male, action, defenses, sex, and passion. Makes sense that Mars is also dualistic. Mars is conjunct the asteroid EROS as is Caitlyn’s Sun making her an erotic object of millions of people’s attention and discussions. Like Caitlyn/Bruce or hate/him everyone will have an opinion about what she is and what she means.

MARS rules Caitlyn’s ARIES MC, career or world’s stage position as well as the 5^th house. She is a gender-bending warrioress an Amazon. There is also an acting, creative self-expression, vanity, ego, being the drama Queen, open-heartedness.  Saturn and the Moon occupy the 5^th house as well. There’s some serious shit drama being told here.

JUPITER, planet of expansion is in LEO in the 1^st house of ME. “I AM” selfie, ego. Jupiter in LEO is the courage to live from your heart. Enormous will power, strength and charisma. Caitlyn’s identity is rich, royal, powerful, dramatic, vain, ego driven, selfish. Jupiter is conjunct asteroid JUNO the Goddess whose name was given to the month of June. Juno was the “long-suffering wife of Zeus {Hera in Greek myths}.  Juno symbolizes the perfect wife, feminine symbol of the masculine’s image of a passive servant of patriarchal, a Trophy wife or woman, larger than life image.

NEPTUNE planet of spirituality, dreams, illusion, glamour, delusion, fantasy, denial, addictions, Hollywood, is in Pisces in the 8^th {Scorpio-like} house of sex, money, power, transformation and secrets. Neptune is square to the Sun of Caitlyn’s identity so there is something ephemeral and not totally real or substantial about her identity. Much of it is fantasy, Hollywood, creating illusions and drug based.

NEPTUNE is squaring Saturn Retrograde, the Sun, Mars and Eros. Desire may be an obsessive fantasy, a past-life memory and obsession. The image feeds popular culture’s desire to deny serious reality and to talk about {Gemini} glamour and illusion, plastic surgery, nothing very real in the name of reality TV. 

URANUS, planet of individual freedom, revolution, chaos, technology, invention, and change is exactly at the High Noon position of Caitlyn’s chart waving its flag or freedom.  Uranus symbolizes Aquarian liberation for all. Caitlyn certainly shocked a lot of people and will always do so.Uranus is squaring Venus bringing a revolutionary new feminine identity.

PLUTO, Lord of DEATH, rebirth, sex, and transformation is at the 15^th and most powerful degree of Capricorn, which is physical reality in the 6^th house of work and service. Pluto is square to Uranus and the Mid-heaven. This transformation is also very career based. It is meant to boost Caitlyn’s career.  Pluto rules Scorpio, the 5^th house of the will, actors, creative-self-expression and heart.

Pluto symbolizes archetypes, the unconscious and Caitlyn is definitely carrying an Archetypal energy. All famous people embody Archetypal presences. As Bruce was an Olympic champion he already belongs to the home of the Gods and Goddesses.  Zeus was forever shape-shifting, and taking different forms.

There is also a “FINGER OF GOD” or inconjunct aspect between Jupiter and Mars to Pluto. It is Caitlyn’s education and the expansion {Jupiter} of her ego, pride and privilege [Leo} to be aggressively aiming {Mars} to be living from the Soul’s- Pluto’s desires and dictates.

LILITH, the first woman, is in VIRGO in the 3^rd house of communications opposite CHIRON in the 9^th house of philosophy and teaching and square MARS in GEMINI and Asteroid Pandora in the 11^th house of wishes hopes and dreams. By embodying the wounded, rejected Dark Goddess, symbol of authenticity, power and needing no one in a relationship, Caitlyn will always be at war with the patriarchy, will always be rejected in some way at the same time acting as a teacher and wounded healer. She may look happy, Mars in Gemini, but deep down the wounds will never heal.

CHIRON at 21+ degrees PISCES is in a GRAND WATER TRINE with Venus in Cancer on the Ascendant and the Moon in Scorpio. Chiron is the wounded healer, and Chiron is the vulnerability, the wound that heals. Chiron is the animal, wild untamable instinctive part of our natures. Chiron in Pisces is deep soul wounds, spiritual wounds, self-undoing and Moon in Scorpio is obsessive, sexual, deeply controlling, into being in power. Caitlin is a wounded soul, a feminine soul, although soul is beyond gender, who has waited till maturity to transform into her desired sexual identity.

Pluto is conjunct the asteroid named Caitlyn. You can’t make this stuff up. 

Pluto and Uranus were in Virgo, a feminine sign involved in the sexual revolution of women in the 60’s when Feminism became broadly based because of the new technology of birth control pills. Interesting that Uranus is now in Aries, ruled by Mars, a masculine sign and Pluto is in Capricorn a feminine sign known for the Patriarchy and corporate halls of power and wealth. The modern Uranus/Pluto square is producing a radically different type of sexual revolution.

The NORTH NODE is in LIBRA symbolizing, being an ambassador, a go-between and balancing the opposites. Libra is extremely social and needs to be noticed by others, Libra is in the 3^rd house, Gemini- natural house of information. North Node in Libra is ruled by Venus, Goddess of beauty, love, harmony, the arts, and relationships.

The South Node in Aries in the 9^th house is leaving the Masculine, Mars ruled aggression behind. The 9^th is a Sagittarius type house, symbolizing being a teacher, a philosopher, a traveler, having honesty and integrity. Caitlyn brings the past forward with her transforming it into Libran.

The asteroid Loke the closest name for Loki the Norse Trickster God who could become female, is at zero degrees Virgo in the talk talk 3^rd house exactly square to Saturn in Sagittarius and square Asteroid VESTA at the 29^th last karmic degree of Pisces. This symbolizes that Caitlyn is carrying deep archetypal role-playing through this incarnation. Vesta is the Goddess of focus, sacred space internally and inVESTments, literally $. There a trickster element to Caitlyn’s identity.

Caitlyn’s VENUS is importantly Out Of Bounds beyond 23 degrees 26 minutes. This means that Caitlyn is a person who had walked away from situations which more conventional people might consider prestigious. She has decided to escape from the rules and norms of society which she was born into. She is ignoring society’s expectation in relation to gender, age and stereotypes.

Caitlyn’s trandgendering is modern shape-shifting. Shamans traditionally do this in spirit and in physical flight. She is an androgyne, that is also a scientific and mythic term.  I think we need new language. Caitlyn to me is in-between sexes and states, still transitional or liminal. Why not call this state an inbetwixt or a twain?  How about femliminal? Or simply androgynous, it is an alchemical term. 

Love her, hate her or totally indifferent to the hype, the state of transgender is a hot topic. Naturally there are a very small percentage of the population who feel born into the wrong sexual body, as are hermaphrodites. Transgender does occur naturally, there is a group of people who naturally change sex at puberty, a genetic mutation of sorts. Much of the issue has to do with Patriarchal cultural stereotyping. Language anchors us in culturally based stereotypes. What do you think?

 

Paul McCartney wrote a song about this on the White Album back in the 6o’s.

Mercury Retrograde, Magic thinking

I think I lost a day today already as Mercury stations turning Retrograde in Gemini where it is at its most powerful.

MERCURY turns Retrograde from 13 degrees Gemini @ 6:48 pm PDT/ 9:48 pm EDT and May 19 @ 1:48 am GMT back to 4 degrees on June 11th. 

Do mark where those degrees are in your natal chart. The Retrograde affects everyone differently event though it affects all of us. check which houses and aspects too.

The Presciption is: Don’t start, launch, buy, sell, or initiate anything during this time period unless it is unavoidable.

But Mercury Retrograde especially in Gemini can be very useful for breaking down old ways of thinking, and communications breakdowns which are a good thing. Things must break down to grow.

“Turn off your mind relax and float downstream” in the immortal words of John Lennon. Stop fearing Mercury Retrogrades.

The Moon is in Gemini May 18th, one of the pair of signs that Mercury rules, the other is Virgo highlighting this Super Mercury Retro. where we are deconstructing mind games.

It begins as a  sobering Mercury Retrograde as Moon opposes Saturn Retrograde in Sagittarius.

Review long-term educational, travel, writing, publishing and of course communications.

Moon conjuncts Mars so this is a hyper chatty, flirtatious, high energy but serious Retro.

You may also be feeling very wired and angtsy, Mars heightens the split personality energy.  Use it for selling, marketing, and meeting new people or clients who could turn out to be long-term clients/friends/lovers.

Moon squares Neptune a few minutes after the Retro. to make you feel lost at sea  without a GPS- be careful of liquids and computers and phones during this time period. Do tap into your dreams during the Mercury Retrograde.

Mercury is the TRICKSTER archetype, connected to coyote wisdom, the Fool, the sacred jester.

Watch your mind, become the watcher.

MEDITATE daily during the Retrograde

 Watch how the ego/mind plays tricks on itself. 

Mercury is The MAGICIAN in the Tarot.

These two archetypes the Fool= zero and the Magician emanate from the 1st Sephirot in the Tarot called Kether,  they represent the initial emanations from the Godhead.

                  

Note the Mercury record label.  The Fool #0 & #22

This 60’s album has the masculine/feminine balance.                                    The Magician #1 in the Tarot

Hermes is Mercury’s name to the Greeks, he is the messenger God. Hermes/Mercury carried a magic wand called a Caduceus given to him by Apollo the Sun God. The Caduceus is a staff with two intertwining snakes on it topped by two wings. This magic rod is a symbol of the spinal column, the central conduit for Kundalini energy. The snakes cross on the chakras. The twin snakes represent complementary halves of the nervous system which Mercury rules. Snakes have since time immemorial symbolized wisdom, psychic powers, women’s menstrual cycles, the process of change, life and death, healing, the brain, our wiring.

Mercury is also a hermaphrodite. This issue of gender bending and transexuals is very much a Mercurial topic.

Mercury is duality in all of its aspects, yin/yang, polarity, balance. Normally  we largely operate in logical masculine analytical, Virgo left brain thinking. During Mercury Retrograde the intuitive, Feminine right-brained thinking is what gets turned on.

All planets during their Retrograde phases visit the Underworld, our unconscious to rest and renew. The God and Goddess also need to rest and renew..

As with all Retrogrades do all the Re things, relax, rewind, review, recalculate, etc etc. Rx the symbol of retrograde phase is the same as a Pharmacy. It is always Good Medicine.

HOW TO GET THROUGH IT WITH POISE

Do back up all computers, as information is likely to be lost, tampered with, misplaced, screwed up, and computer viruses run rampant during Mercury Retrogrades. As Mercury is in his own sign I predict this Retro could be a hair-puller but can be very good.

The symbol of Mercury Retrograding close to the New Moon symbolizes that we wipe the slate clean of old stale ideas, outworn attitudes, ways of communicating and mental images of your own identity and the world which need Re-energizing.. It is definitely time to change your mind and keep the change, a title of an old NLP book.

Do be careful about losing, dropping or damaging your cell phone or computer. Double and triple check everything use that Virgo influence to nit-pick over everything during the Retrograde.

Tomorrow Never Knows- The Beatles 

Mars in Gemini, Psychopomp androgyny

May 11 Mars in GEMINI until June 24 MENTAL CHATTER

Mars’s in the Twin sign draws us into the mental planes, the airy elemental realms, into thinking, a lot. We will be able to have the eloquence of the tongue, and fluidity of the mind in duality.

We will have our brains flamed.  The Passion will be mind centred, and after all, it’s all in the mind, anyway.  Mercury is consciousness. Everything IS consciousness. There will be endless talking, and questioning, being curious; mucho mental flexibility and changes of mind.

Don’t expect commitments during this time. it is more an enquiry or a debate into what we want/don’t want. 

We’re in for about six weeks of Mercurial Androgynous psychopomp guidance.

Mercury is also in Gemini now. Mercury will go Retrograde May 18 @ 6:40 pm PDT/ 9:40 pm EDT/ May 19 @ 1:40 am GMT.Mercury is Retrograde until June 10th.

Mercury’s Retrograde motion will also have effect on Mars while it is in Gemini.

GEMINI is a much more complex sign that is usually thought of these days. Mercury was originally a psychopomp or guide of souls from this world to the next.

Vision of Hermes Trimestigus by Johfra Bosschart,

What is a psychopomp? They are creatures, spirits, angels or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls into the afterlife. They do not judge, they are there to provide safe passage. They are also associated with birds, whip-poor-wills, horses, ravens, stags, dogs, crows, owls, sparrows, and cuckoos. 

In Jungian Psychology the psychopomp mediates between the unconscious and conscious realms. In dreams, the psychopomp is w wise man or woman, or sometimes a helpful animal. shamans are also psychopomp and they also help initiate souls from the spirit into the physical world at birth. 

PSYCHOPOMPS 

ANUBIS the jackal headed God,first greeted dead Egyptians.  The Egyptian Goddess Hathor, the Milky Way is her sacred breast-milk.  Hekate the Crone Goddess at the crossroads,  Azrael, the Angel of Death in Jewish and Christian mythology is a psychopomp in Islamic Mythology. The Angel Gabriel. The Morrigan, a Celtic shape-shifting Goddess of transitions is known to appear as ravens and crows. The horse Goddess Epona. The Valkyries in Norse myth were also psychopomp’s. Kalma is a Finnish Goddess of the dead. 

Mercury is androgynous, and androgyny is in the news. Androgyny was classically shown as a human with both sexes and it does occur rarely in nature. People born this way were considered to be very powerful psychic beings and revered.

Bruce Jenner’s sex-change means he is becoming an androgyne.. He will be both male and female even if he identifies as female because his body, mind, spirit,DNA and history are still mainly masculine. If Bruce had been born into Native Indigenous cultures when they were intact, he would have been called a twin-spirit and allowed to wear women’s clothes and to do women’s type of chores. He would be considered to be a shaman. 

I wish people would use the androgyne term rather thank transgendered which is a description but not an explanation. Do you know what I mean? 

We all have both masculine and feminine aspects in us anyways. All Males begin life as females and testosterone make them turn into males. The range of more masculine females or more feminine males is purely chemistry, it’s our hormones. The Age of Aquarius which we are entering is an air sign and more androgynous. If one believes in past lives then we may have been a man in a past life and in this one, we are female but the past life memory may make it easier for these women to naturally be stronger, more independent, more masculine.

Androgyny is important in the alchemical work of being whole. Androgyny helps us to incorporate the Beloved within ourselves. This is the true sacred marriage within which attracts the outer beloved.

We will be able to enter the underworld of Hades, the Underworld more easily with Mars in Gemini during the retrograde phase, so set your sites on digging for diamonds in the soul mine.

It’s very important for all of us to go on the shadow journey now and attempt to marry ourselves. Saturn will soon re-enter Scorpio and I predict the 3 month period from mid-June to mid-September to be a time of some of the most intense deepest inner work revelations there will be for a while.

You will likely feel more jittery, stressed and your mind will be racing. You will need to remember to breathe. GEMINI is the lungs. Remember to BREATHE, CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE BREATH ARE ONE.

TIRIEL is the Angel of Mercury. You can call on him to help guide you.

Testosterone recharge, 50 shades of Mars in Scorpio Astrology

MARS leaves his peacekeeping, estrogen soaked immersion through Libra July 25 2014, another 777 day.

NUMEROLOGY =July =7, 5 + 2= 7, 2+ 0+1+ 4 = 7. Mystic magical 7 heavens number.  Same TRIPLE 7 value as on  July 16 when the MH17 was shot down.

Mars has meandered through LIBRA  since DECEMBER 7 , 2013, far longer than usual. Libra is the sign of the Peacemaker supposedly, but actually Libra is the balancing act between two opposites. Libra is the ambassador, relationships are the AIR they breathe, they are creative, unsure of themselves and NICE.

Mars is the GO Go Testosterone fueled WAR GOD. The planet of MEN, fire, independent,  all about me, anger. The warrior’s track record hasn’t been that great on his PEACEKEEPING  mission while in Libra for all this time. What do you think?

Mars has pussyfootd around for these months as he is in DETRIMENT – means, in the sign opposite the one it rules for over 7 months. Things will HEAT up Soon.

MARS has learned about the OTHER side.VENUS rules Libra and he must be DRUNK IN LOVE as Beyonce’s so aptly synchronous song puts it. I love the way the Archetypal symbols drip into the collective Unconscious and then come out into pop culture. The First transgender actress Laverne Cox is now on  mainstream TV in Orange is the New Black.

MARS in Libra – has it made you more romantic and sociable? More aware of art and beauty? More aware of being polite ? The Femming down of the Masculine has been a good thing. We need to remember the territory gained.

MARS goes home a world-weary warrior much like Odysseus in the famed Odyssey.

Mars in Scorpio from July 25 @ 7:25 pm PDT -September 13, 2014.

EXPECT rampaging testosterone  with men’s sex drives going through the roof.

Mars in Scorpio is WILL POWER, never get sidetracked until it gets what it wants. MARS in Scorpio can bring out the darkest deepest shit from Scorpio’s black death depths. Revenge, torture, the Plague, power and control issues, secrets, psychopaths, war, violence, shootings. As if we don’t see enough of this anyways.

Mars will stir up deep seated anger, so be on RED ALERT. MARS ATTACKS!

Going to be a  roller coaster ride with torrents of emotions. Not to mention the weather as Mars in Scorpio creates flooding, hurricanes, lots of water =steam heat.

Women-Mars in Scorpio can also mess up your hormonal balance, creating flooding when you menstruate and push your held back anger out into the open from those 7 months of needing to be NICE and in that awful relationship at any cost. Not anymore!

Expect to find out the deep dark secrets over the next 7 weeks.  Do get into understanding your own and others on a deeper psychological basis during this time. It’s a Rorschach test come to life.

SEX  POWER

Unleash your sex drive, it’s healthy to have an orgasm a day. Your  will to be Numero Uno will be strong- Jupiter is in LEO remember.

MARS squares JUPITER Aug 1st at 3 degrees. It is also Lammas a cross= quarter Day in the calendar round of the year.

BEWARE of getting seduced and overwhelmed by going to the Dark Side of Scorpio. Darth Vader will invade your dreams.

SCORPIO is THE DEATH Card in the Tarot, Trump # 13

MARS is the TOWER, Trump card #16

 the Tower a modern version by Sarah Wheatley

A cleverly disguised Phallus 

13 + 16 = 29. 9 -2 = 7

Death & The TOWER = H E A V Y times ahead. The TOWERING INFERNO.

Like INTENSE OBSESSION?

Does Mars rule HELL?

RAMMSTEIN- Ich Will 

Conchita Wurst, who is the Phoenix? Astrology

Conchita Wurst, a bearded drag queen from Austria won the 2014 Eurovision song contest on Saturday May 10 in Copenhagen Denmark and stole million’s of hearts with her powerful song “Rise like a Phoenix.” 

“Conchita” whose birth name is Tom Neuwirth made a huge political crossdressing transgender positive statement which has greatly angered Russia’s recent anti-gay laws. Conchita’s wining speech was about promoting peace and tolerance and respect for everyone.

“It was not just a victory for me but a victory for those people who believe in a future that can function without discrimination and is based on tolerance and respect”.

Underneath the wigs, false eyelashes, corset and beard -Who is Conchita/Tom? Why the big win now? Lets look at his TRANSits and see what the stars say:

TOM Neuwirth/Conchita  is a SCORPIO of course- with a winning song title “Rise like a PHOENIX”  what else would you expect?

Conchita/Tom Neuwirth born November 6, 1988

MAY 10 2014 Eurovision Song contest Copenhagen Denmark transits

Tom/Conchita -unknown birth time, I’ve used  noon for someone who achieves worldly status and fame.

The SUN at 14 degrees SCORPIO is conjunct PLUTO- LORD of power, transformation, SEX, rebirth- SCORPIO and is of course on the M.C. the High Noon position at 17 degrees Scorpio. SATURN Lord of KARMA, rebirth and career is retrograding across that point for the 2nd and 3rd time in June retro and direct in August and in fact Saturn turns DIRECT at 16 degrees + Scorpio in late July. The song is all about a Scorpio rebirth, revenge etc. written all about a powerful transit for him ‘s say.

Tom used to be in a boy band and started performing as Conchita in 2011.

His NATAL VENUS is at 9 degrees of LIBRA -its all about beauty, fashion, the show, the image, balancing out the Masculine and Feminine. In the 8th house of SEX and Scorpionic tranformation its secrets, power, kinky taboo things.

His NEPTUNE  is at 9 degrees of Capricorn so Tom has been influenced in his sexual transformation by Pluto and Uranus conjunct to and squaring these 2 planets since that time. Yes this is Tom’s GRAND CARDINAL CROSS Victory in action.

PLUTO Lord of POWER, riches- Tom wins millions and has garnered world wide acclaim and revulsion from this win.

THE POWER OF A SEXY SEXTILE IN ACTION

Transitting Pluto at 13 degrees Caprcorn is now sextiling his NATAL PLUTO at 12 degrees Scorpio which is

sextiling his NORTH NODE at 12 degrees PISCES;which is sextiling the transiting SUN at 19 degrees TAURUS on May 10th

which is sextiling, the DESCENDANT- interractive cusp with all “others” which is sextiling the SOUTH NODE in VIRGO in the 8th house of SEX MONEY POWER, transformation, which is back to where it started at PLUTO.

This forms a  RARE transitting 6 pointed Star of DAVID or a MEKABA it is the symbol of the SACRED MARRIAGE of HEAVEN- masculine and earth- Feminine in one. Obvi- no?

CHIRON at 16+ degrees PISCES is conjunct to Tom/Conchita’s natal CERES- dwarf planet of the Goddess. Conchita is the wounded healer for the Goddess in the 12th house closet of  PISCES who is all compassionate, spiritual, chameleon-like, visionary, artistic, creative, blissed out, ALL INCLUSIVE.

NEPTUNE- PLanetary ruler of  PISCES –

the “Higher octave” of VENUS- women- the spiritual, shape shifting planet of DIVINE LOVE, true spiritual love beyond duality love, has been squaring Tom’s JUPITER in GEMINI- of course, and retrograde at that.

Of course Tom/Conchita is a dual soul. Native American society used to recognize transgender men and allow them to cross dress as women and live as women. They were considered to be twin spirited people and naturally shamans and awarded special status. Jupiter in Gemini gives Tom the gift of the gab, very social, witty, likeable, charming. 

The BLOOD MOON eclipse of April 14 at 25+ degrees LIBRA fell right on the asteroid VESTA in Tom’s natal chart. VESTA is the marker of the ancient TANTRIC Goddesses. They were healers who used sex to purify men.

TRANISTING MARS is RETROGRADE at 9 degrees LIBRA EXACTLY on Tom’s NATAL VENUS,

square to his NATAL NEPTUNE-the visionary and this describes exactly the merging of the masculine/feminine image which CONCHITA projects. Trantiting VENUS is at 8 degrees ARIES exactly opposite and creating a T- square to Tom’s NEPTUNE. DOUBLE whammy!

THE Transiting NORTH NODE at 27 degrees LIBRA- is where the popular focus in the world is.

If you have planets,angles etc here now then YOU are more likely to get acclaim too. NOrth NOde has just crossed Tom’s MERCURY at 29 degrees LIBRA and is conjunct to his VESTA- the Goddess of sacred sexual focus and devotion.

Tom/has his Natal MARS at the zero point of ARIES one of the most powerful degrees in the ZODIAC.  Mars rules his SCORPIO Sun as does PLUTO. This person has HUGE POWER.

Also was born with URANUS and NEPTUNE CONJUNCT in late SAGITTARIUS conjunct to the GALACTIC CENTER as are all the GENERATION Y/ Millenials peeps. This is a transpersonal planetary mystic combination which specifically revolutionizes spiritual sexuality and engages it in a wide wide cosmic lens beyond the mere everyday human.

Tom was meant to kick-start  a new masculine energy. URANUS the planet of individual freedom and new cycles entered ARIES in March 11, 201o then finally entering ARIES on March 11 2011 where it will continue to radically transform and rock our world  in many ways until 2019.

JUPITER will enter LEO in July this year and square Tom’s PLUTO & SUN bringing him greater fame. The Solar Eclipse on October 23 is at ZERO degrees of Scorpio and he must be aware of danger of being shot at or harmed by some crazed anti-gay person.

EVERYONE will be dressing very flamboyantly once Jupiter enters LEO. Tom is kicking off a new fashion trend.

MY PREDICTION- All fashionistas will be sporting beards and beaded ball gowns at the local supermarket and singing karaoke in the aisles.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of CONCHITA’s win?

RISE LIKE A PHOENIX- CONCHITA WURST  

ARE YOU A BOY OR ARE YOU A GIRL -The Barbarians Sept 1965 

GEMINI times,The Quicksilver Messenger service, mo’ Twin stuff, Astrology from Tara Greene

May 20 Sun entered Gemini II

Ruled by that fancy fleet-footed messenger  of the Gods – MERCURY

MERCURY is aka  QUICKSILVER

QUICKSILVER?MERCURY  used to be in thermometers, and whose actions, hard to pin it down, describe Gemini’s energies perfectly…Quicksilver is also a toxic poison but  can also be used to heal in Homeopathy- don’t mess with quicksilver on your own.

And yes HERMES/MErcury iss most likely already in your head as fillings and can be very toxic to your health.

Mercury’s symbol is the caduceus. Not just an FTD Florist symbol, every MD in the world uses the caduceus to signify the healing profession of MEDICINE. The caduceus was originally employed by Chiron and Asclepius as snakes were used to help heal people in Ancient Greece, Snakes were used in the Oracles at DELPHI. Considered to be magical animals of the Goddess since always,two snakes entwined around the central staff or spine is KUNDALINI sexual energy.  The caduceus is an ancient symbol of DNA; symbolizes the twin poles of consciousness, balance and the combining of opposites as in ALCHEMY to produce something entirely new. This is a deep psychological image.

May 20 Moon entered Gemini also known as HERMES

GEMINI is a dual AIR sign.

Mercury is the frequent flyer and chief communicator between Mount Olympus, the above, the Conscious and the below, Unconscious> Mercury/Hermes is a mediator, a listener, an eavesdropper, a go-between.

In modern days a MERCURY ruled person,and we all are, is a compulsive twitterer or FB junkie whose I-phone never comes off their head

Mercury in the TAROT  is  the # 1 symbol, THE MAGICIAN

MERCURY /Hermes is also the TRICKSTER

famous as COYOTE in Native American legends

when your mind plays tricks on you…quess who is to blame?

HERMES is  a hermaphrodite, His name means HERMES & APHRODITE Mercury is both male HERMES and a female VENUS/APHRODITE in one

We see the hermaphrodite image on our homes a lot these days. Kurt Hummel from GLEE-
