Soft Side Of The Moon
The beautiful Kathleen Lolley just sent me her latest work: Soft Side Of The Moon. She is SO fuqing psychic and shamanic – Saturn has JUST gotten off my Moon in Libra & this some sort of an eerie representation. It’s also a super-apt Saturn changing signs pic, don’t you think?
The Owl = Wisdom & also Athene/Minerva + it is the bird of the adultress queen Guenivere who, in some versions of the Arthurian Legends, actually came “from the Summerlands” making her a Goddess. Or, at the very least, highly magic.
I could crap on about owls and witch queens for ever BUT the AstroScape is shifting. Weekly Horoscopes are up now & don’t forget to check your Saturn in Scorpio Horoscopes Till 2015, if you have not already.

This is the third art piece depicting an owl that’s crossed my path in 24hours.
i just put an owl pic above my desk today and i never have pics at my desk
How nice to have your Moon free!
Celebrate xx
So … since moons are emotional, spiritual, mother stuff (among other things), what does it mean when Saturn was in your moon? Was that where some of the most deep growth was occurring? The hardest lessons?
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
My home is full to over flowing with Owls and I just cant get enough of their magic. Thank you so much for sharing her amazing art
xx
Once i had an amazing dream that i was freeing a white owl from a cage – fyi – Saturn trine Neptune = super-jungian dreams!
O HAPPY HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saturn is getting the hell out my 1st……….Am soooooooooooooooooo freakin relieved – at last I can have me back
I thank you for your lessons……….
Lucky you! I’m a Libby Asc but my first house extends all the way to 26 deg Scorp. Ugh! Beating down on me for a while yet. But hey, I’m a Cap Sun so I’m used to being Saturn aware
Same here. My first house extends all the way to 19 deg Scorp, but I’m still feeling so relieved that he’s about to get off my natal Saturn.
Libra/1st house 3 deg Scorp
Wistfully triste abt Saturn’s 1st house departure. Total Saturnian rebirth magic on my Venus/Mars/Pluto stellium and some snarly + brill aspects FREED me from the Qi bondage of 2 plutonium-grade disasters masquerading as friends, a hurricane marriage to haute toro (my BFF to this day), and a career rut I transformed to 2 awesome business ventures. It was a fearless ride with none of my usual LZ mewling or enabling of pathological shit-stirrer friends or hesitancy to assume financial ownership. Finally channeling pent-up, Saturn birth energy. Anyway, as the Scorping in my 2nd will be all up in my natal Uranus (conjunct Oct. 31) I’m excited but nervous about phase 2 which is when shit traditionally falls apart for me.
My pen will not be able to move fast enough, now that Saturn is off my Sun-Pluto-NN (:the Sun is also chart ruler:) in 2nd and has moved into 3rd. It will conjunct Uranus and I welcome it. I need to get my 3rd house schemes grounded so I can welcome the next chapter of the Awesome.
I’m also having my Venus return right now in my 1st …and it’ll move through 2nd and 3rd, whoop, whoop!
Finances? I have Uranus opp Sun-Pluto-NN and stepping it up to grow brighter than the sun!
I’m setting my old world on fire ~ now my Saturn transit to Sun is done. The bar is closed. The door is closed. Now I can shine and grow brighter than the Sun, come up in the spot to look extra fly.. my 3rd is where it’s at!
wow, kathleens works are gorgeous
i dont know if its due to me developing an obsession with owls and merely noticing them more – but have noticed a prevalence of owl imagery in visual arts out put for awhile now. can only be a good omen
My Moon is in Libra too – does that mean I can breathe a sigh of relief? Feeling decidedly ‘que sera, sera’ about major life events unfolding…
I gotta admit, the Cancer/Kataka (my Ascendant) paragraph in the weekly’s hit home pretty intensely. Reflects pretty immensely on something that’s been fluffing around in my intuition for a while now, and I somewhat read it as being ‘permission to go for gold’, that is once Saturn hits Scopio.
The write up for my Virgoan Sun appeals greatly too, of course, hehe ^_^ Well keen for some of that Venusian weirding and I’m extremely curious as to how the aspect to Chiron will manifest. The last Pluto~Chiron sextile was quite intense in regards to Venusian topics so I somewhat expect this to follow suit.
Wow… weeklies for both Pisces and Leo are so apt for me. I’ve decided to start the discussions at home re a separation, soon after he gets home. It’s time. Enough pondering. It’s going to be difficult but I have a strong feeling I will be supported by the cosmos, and that resolving this will be the key to other things moving in my favour. I hope I’m right
What are the odds of a random woman from the Euro country where my bloke is right now, knocking on my door? Well, it happened today. The latest in an epic series of coincidences that have been happening since Neptune got into Pisces.
Brave you! Situations where I needed ‘out’ defo impacted on all aspects of my life at the time. It can be so pre-occupying making life changes but you ARE supported by the cosmos because you are initiating liberation (for both of you!)
Thanks q, wise words as always… after nigh on two years of soul searching and attempts to repair things, I now know it’s the right thing. Sat in my shrink’s office yesterday, bawled again and then just knew, followed by a level of exhaustion I haven’t experienced in some time. This stuff takes so much energy but I seem to have arrived at a place where I can do this with compassion.
Hope all’s good with you.
Chrys – I have so much empathy for you – sometimes coming to the decision is the hardest part and things will move more easily now. With big changes, I often wish it could just happen with a finger-snap but obs one has to do all the work to get to that place. The exhaustion can be the processing/emoting etc. Things OK here – have been busy with work shit-hell-fuq-me what a load of drongos, and busy doing NADA on the PhD hehehe. Not much on the crush front either – but seem to be keeping out of LZ territory!!
Haha I hear you on the PhD
I actually can’t believe how far behind I am, it’s laughable really, but I can at least write the last six months off to depression *laughs blackly*
Very glad to hear you’re keeping out of LZ territory!!
Oh totally. Do you feel like it’s not so shocking any more? There were always synchronicities, but they used to amaze and make you wonder..? But now they make you nod your head and go… yep well that was bound to occur. Check Mystic’s 7th sense notion in the dailies. I’m beginning to grasp it. I wonder if it’s two way now for Pisceans, Chrysalis. We’re not just receivers any more. Can you imagine people getting a strong dose (that comes in drops, for non Pisceans) of what our daily mindlife is? No wonder we keep our hands to ourselves most of the time. Here we go
God yes Mille that’s exactly how it is. I read Mystic’s ’7th sense’ and thought, yes. Precisely! The incoming has always been pretty constant and reliable in my life but it’s certainly gone up to eleven in recent months. At the mo in my life it’s like there are two scripts: one is ‘reality’ and the other is what’s playing out in the unseen realms. That’s the one I am following. Clumsy metaphor but you know what I mean. Interesting times
Glad that Saturn is leaving Libra – it was conjunct my Saturn, Moon and Pluto in tenth house! Can’t say it was bad however..it was tough but good tough and looking back I feel good about myself.
For a while it was owls for me, now it is spiders – the images my brain is collecting..
What would you make a Qi vamp, whom I dropped in 2009 after Mystic telling me I should drop qi vamps, again appearing in my social networks?
Sometime ago, Mystic had posted a passage about forgiveness, that you just feel sorry for the conditions that created the pain..That is where I am..I checked my emotional reaction, it is only dread – I want to forget she exists. No ill wishing, no bad vibes. Just the wish to move on..
I found it. I think this is very apt with Saturn leaving Libra,
“Forgiveness is an act of creation…How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstances instead of rage, you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to remember to say about it all. You understand the suffering that drove the offense to begin with. You prefer to remain outside the milieu. You are not waiting for anything. You are not wanting anything. There is no lariat snare around your ankle stretching from way back there to here. You are free to go. It may not have turned out to be a ‘happily ever after’, but most certainly there is now a fresh ‘Once upon a time’ waiting for you from this day forward.”
“You are not wanting anything. There is no lariat snare around your ankle stretching from way back there to here. You are free to go”.
Love it Q!
Interesting about the spiders – in Freudian dream symbolism, spiders represent the devouring aspect of mother.
KALI. The greatest gift a warrior mother can give – remove the threat.
I checked the net, the sources I found suggested “spiders” as weavers of fate. Why now? Who knows?
Looking forward to this w/e. So much is brewing and I am hoping to get off this train. It has been an interesting and good ride with learning new things but right now.. I am bored, need something new and I think it will come. Although 10/5 is critical I am trying not to expect a flood of all my new events on Friday. Maybe a sign and hope for it actually happen soon.
I have been very peaceful this week. Good news on Monday for my job, reconnecting with a friend and being very social. Not really stressed about tomorrow and waiting for the news on the job I want. If it happens, it happens… if not, then I know the drill at my current job. It’s in God’s hands and He will lead me to the next appropriate step at the right time.
xo!!
if you like owls check out the book wesley the owl!
Read it…loved it…wonderful book!
have always wondered whether Athena’s more of a goddess of wisdom or of warfare. she’s seen as both.
I think of Athena as defensive rather than war-like – her
Viginity being symbolic of Athen’s city walls etc. She is all cool strategy and crafty seriousness. Wisdom is found in peace and I think she would prefer that if possible at all.
Ishtar on the other hand … I believe she was fond of a nice juicy blood-bath!
exactly, we have to remember this was an age/place where war and the wisdom on which to defend a city or attack a dominant neighbour about to come and fuq you over/rape your citizens and steal everything you have was pretty real. I realise that is still real for many countries still outside of the 1st world, but it was a reality to see wisdom in fairness. forethought than mass slaughter. strategy over muscle and bloodlust, which is an evolvement from some of the other “war” gods/goddess. It’s a show of culture emerging in a society trying to civilize from more primal roots of killcrushdestroy. Though we all know Athens was not an easy neighbour back then by our standards. An army of status was something to be proud of then.
ah, well said!
have you noticed how owls are trendy toys for kids at present. Sesame St has 2 owl characters which are the latest must have stuffed toys…
and hipster tattoos…
Hijacking post alert…but I just had to share!
Yesterday was tres freaky at work – two women (a mother and daughter act) came in and started fights with staff and other customers. Yelling and screaming abuse and scaring the shit outta all these little old ladies that come to do their shopping on the community bus of a Thursday. It got ugly, and the police were called etc. Then they kept phoning up later making DEATH THREATS – I was included on their list..
W…T…F ?!
Any insights anybody, because these bitches were so evil-crazy a lot of my work mates are really scared. I’d be pretty funny if it kinda was not. They only targeted other women BTW.
Oh, it started with them having a go and saying vile, hateful things to our lovely lesbian ladies.
A friend had a very similar thing happen at her little antique store in the Blue Mountains…a mother and daughter troll combo came in, obviously looking to pick a fight, saying nasty crap and “who would want to pay that much for this shit” etc. She had to call some help to get them out of the store.
My stepma described people like that as “very cheap darling, looking for cheap entertainment, nothing better to do”
My sister’s babe born last night – checking out her chart – far out amazing! Bloody big square in the middle of it … yet all earth and water and air.
Family trait of Uranus opp Sun continues (love that stuff).
Her moon on my DC and merc on my moon.
AND her asc conjun uranus … what a whizzcracker!
So, from me, excited and loved up x
congrats – how lovely!
Considering a saturn out of libra party. Yipee let the good time roll.
Awesome Saturn has finally moved off your moon – hooray! I’ve just had Saturn opposing my Venus (again & again) now just have Saturn opposing natal Saturn to look forward to – thank goodness it’s only 1 swipe past!
My little book on the Fairy tarot calls both Guinevere and Morgan Le Fay white ladies, or spirits of place, the idea being that the Arthurian legends were part of the Christianization of Celtic pagan mythology (and as always happens in this process, involved making the women the bearers of evil, or wrongdoing). So Guinevere, or Gwenhwyvar – White Phantom, was the spring spirit married on May day, and protector of Albion, and Morgan, Mor Gwyn – White Lady – was the protective spirit of the otherworld, Avalon. I haven’t read the Marion ZImmer Bradley book but I gather this is the story she attempts to breathe back into the Arthurian legends.
Joseph Campbell ? I think, wrote quite a bit about how between the Arthurian legend and ‘the fisher king’ story we have the foundation of western ‘relationships’. We still play out those myths and all their characters.
I feel that once we let go of those myths, replace them with new ones even, then the changes that need to happen will. To me uranus in Aries says..let’s just move on from Arthur and Gwyn , let the ‘wound’ heal for Fuq sake and create a new myth.
My creation in the lead-up to the Zap Zone:
https://www.youtube.com/user/MrBiafra999?feature=mhee
athena was the first goddess I remember. I found a page on her when I was little and the story of her giving birth to herself. I loved this concept and the picture of her eyes over a naked sky in a mans helmut. I dedicated all my daycare center pottery activities to her and made a little temple that I placed infront of a mirror and left little offerings for her on there. The man I nearly married had an equal early obsession with her and has pallas on his MC in sagg. Pallas is conjunct my eros trine asc/pluto in aqua.
Isn’t it great how now you can just write that on the web and people aren’t going to come around and burn you at the stake….How’s the aqua Ms, dude or dud ? trust your well in your northern realms. x
haha. yes. it is nice. not being burned and all. Good to see you too David
AH funny story with the Aqua. He went psycho and I jumped ship. As of like 1/2 weeks ago. That’s the short version.. He seems to have calmed down a bit now but I am flying solo, for now. No ill will just not a role I can perform, I think he needs therapy actually and I asked him to go see someone when he gets back. I am actually on a deadline to launch but sneaking in a vegan cookie to regain my superpowers whilst getting off on designing at home today. North is good. The future feels like a good place. Hope all is well in your world and your aries ventures xxx
Happy Saturn in scorp ; ) said with trepidation and a nervous laugh yet one pointed focus gaze!
And now I found out Jupiter is going backwards for the next 4 months, can we talk about that?
review your abundance
