Guess what???  Those primal throbbings ain’t just Pluto in slo-mo, stationing Direct. Nor Saturn revving up to oppose Uranus again. Dark Moon Lilith is conjunct the North Node in Capricorn. Let’s just say Lilith is the Bitch Goddess & that she is a Good Thing. Archaic feminine power and all that. And so we have Dark Moon Lilith conjunct (very powerful) the North Node (manifest destiny) and in the mega-pragmatic sign of Capricorn at 27 to 29 degrees of Capricorn.

So who has been vowing to be (productively) more of a bitch lately? Especially where it pertains to clearing out the crappy old residue from being too nice, sentimental and goo-goo. Like Saturn Girl, Lilith in Capricorn hasn’t much time for L.O.A. style thinking – she’s set & forget when it comes to boundaries/standards et al. But with the North Node involvement, the boundaries are more like borders between two different eras.

The Saturn-Uranus opposition links in nicely as well – Saturn in Virgo is trining Lilith & Uranus sextile. So it’s like harnessing the power of Saturn/Lilith to achieve Uranian ends, if you like. Ditto the North Node ends as being our “ideal” future. And being enough of a bitch to jettison those elements of the past that don’t work or not wanting to go back to a place you CAN’T revisit…and why would you want to???

And, btw, this is so beautiful and such a lovely omen: if you look up in the sky at night right now, you can see the nearly Full Moon very close to Jupiter, the Greater Benefic and official auspicious planet. Fab for Aquarians! Have a look and make a wish.

Thyme is antiseptic, antibiotic & apparently the main ingredient in Listerine. You can make your own really cool mouthwash by bunging Thyme essential oil in some water…Not too much as it is insanely strong. The Ancient Romans & Greeks said it bestowed Courage.

It’s a herb of Mercury & Venus so good for clarity in love. They say that, in dream pillows, it wards off nightmares but I have not tried that yet. Maybe as an adjunct to the mugwort?

It’s Za’atar in Arabic & i think they ground it up with nuts as sort of an aromatic between courses thingie?

It’s obviously a major culinary herb all over the place but what i really like about Thyme is that it is said to attract fairies to your garden. Titania, the Fairy Queen, sleeps on a bed of Wild Thyme. I know it is Thyme not Time but i love the concept of ‘wild time’ too. Also, if you drink Thyme tea, it apparently means you can see fairies all of a sudden. Plus, like sage, it would  help a sore throat.

Ah, another Cancerian Moon & another Zen-Noire-Hippy-Wicca-Herbal jag. I am even drinking Nettle tea & have been fluffing around with the Feng Shui, doing nurturing things with my daughter & feeling all spiritual re cleaning out my undies drawer. And, in the spirt of all this, here is fantasic page re Organic Tampons for women perhaps unaware of the potential probs with dioxins in conventional san-product manufacturing and this is a more radical rant from  Amber Magnolia, the Quintessential Aquarius re the same subject.

And whilst I am in this  mood, this weekend honestly is a good time to nourish thyself properly and with awareness. And to feel your emotions as opposed to trying to suppress or rationalise them. Really. The Cancerian Moon always is. And this Moon in particular like a little oasis amidst the scorching winds of Aries & Aquarius…And Saturn in Virgo-Pluto in Cap. And before the Lunar Eclipse in drama-queenie Leo, when you might  just want to have already clarified your feelings together beforehand. Take your non-judgemental emo-oceanic vibe when you can get it…And, I am for real, organic sanitary products are brill.

Note: And I really like Amber Magnolia, the Quintessential Aquarius. I think she is onto something with the home funerals idea.
