Hey you gather that the Aries Moon is good for grandiose goal-setting???

What is your Year of the Tiger resolution?  Where are you going to be more fierce?

The Auspicious Aqua-Weirding that has been strong since last May is now ebbing away for the moment but it’s thankfully back in July to accompany us for the next Saturn-Pluto Square.

There should have been one magical happening/insight/concept over the last few weeks. Something Haute Aquarius, hi-Qi, redolent with optimistic faith and healing…

Glomp onto it now. Define it. Own it. The atmosphere gets more Saturnine over March as Saturn backs into another (sigh) opposition with Uranus.

If you’re interested, Uranus rules Aquarius so the major insights etc of this past few weeks helps with the Saturn-Uranus challenges and reconfigurations starting soon…

A Journey Round My Skull

Jupiter, the officially most lucky planet of all, usually keeps pretty regular cycles. For ages now, he has whizzed into a new sign around about Jan/Feb and stayed there for the year. It’s gotten so i think of particular years in terms of where Jupiter was that year. The Chinese Horoscopes coincide with it – eg; Many a Tiger has Jupiter in Pisces. Snakes are Jupiter in Taurus peeps. And so on.

But Jupiter goes a.w.o.l. in 2010 – whizzing through the first two thirds of Pisces with alacrity and straight into a severely sensational conjunction with Uranus at Zero Degrees of Aries. This is major for many a reason. I go on about it in my book & I will go on about it here as well. But what’s interesting is that Jupiter covers one whole sign (Pisces) by late May and then into Aries and then back.

Why is this significant?

Jupiter is awesome. He’s a.k.a. Zeus, King of the Gods. Ancient astrologers called him the Greater Benefactor. Even astronomers admit the planet Jupiter (a.k.a Jove) plays a significant role in protecting Earth, helping to bounce dodgy/scary asteroids from our galaxy. And it is very rare that Jupiter winds up traversing one 10 degree bit of our Zodiac for ten months.  There are 360 degrees. Jupiter usually covers 30 degrees in a year. Not to mention that it’s the part of the Zodiac where it ENDS and where it STARTS.

The timeframe is from April 2010 until Feb 2011. It’s good to be aware of where this is in your chart as it’s where the main (and rare) chance is to be found. Angelic, profitable…where you both show and expect largesse.

I’m looking forward to it HEAPS as Jupiter will be going back and forth across my Venus, Sun and asteroid Psyche….AND actually, even though Jupiter does not exactly oppose Saturn when it goes back into Virgo in April – it will nonetheless ameloriate the austerity. I am going to be following Jupiter like mad in this time – like it’s a racehorse or a lucky star – because it IS.

Late May and the first week of JUNE – when Jupiter approaches Uranus – is especially auspicious, drastic and dramatic. Pantheistic, global developments for the greater good  that kill off vested interests who don’t give a merde about pollution, starvation, iatrogenesis…? It would be fab, as we then move into a stunning Uranus-Pluto-Saturn T-square situation:  better to act to clean up under the Jupiter influence than to leave it ‘to soak’.

Geopolitics aside, the Jupiter cycle from April 2010 to Feb 2011 is your own personal Jesus-Isis-Miracle moment. Astro-Fiends can do it for themselves – look to your chart between 23 Pisces and 3 Aries. Never mind any aspects other than conjunctions.  If you don’t wanna figure it out for yourself, you can get help in the comments stream if you’re lucky (and Jupiter is) or it is included in my Serendipity Cosmic Consult.

epona_dacia

Today is the feast day of Epona, the Celtic & Roman Horse Goddess from where we get the name “pony.”

Her name literally means “Great Mare” and her image – a la above – used to be on Roman stables all over the place. So apt that she connected with the time of Sagittarius – her lucky emblem?  The Horseshoe…Horses were obviously mega-important in the olden days -not just beloved but key to commerce, war and transporting oneself.  The horseshoe was to attract the favourable attention of Epona, a very jovial Lady, with a similar vibe to that of Jupiter. She is almost like another ‘ruler’ of Sagittarius, especially the horse-mad ones.

Epona is asteroid 3838  – you can look her up in the Astrodienst extended chart options…I would LOVE to know if horsie peeps have her prominent.

And could she be the secret astro-ingredient to success in gambling on horses? Yet another task for my imaginary Astro-Intern…

Do something beautiful for a horse today, in honour of Epona. I am going to give some $ to Horse Rescue Australia. There are similar charities all over the place.

Okay so the situation this week is not so intense as the Mars junket that inspired Mars Options back in Mid-August. Do go back and read so that you can see my point.

But what we DO have is the Sun in Scorpio being squared by Mars in Leo. Sun-Mars alone is quite bolshie enough but in such primal, jungle and unforgiving signs? Tres ruthless.  Thankfully the sucky and mellow Venus-Jupiter trine + having to dirge through the dregs of Saturn in Virgo probably stops a lot of us going-for-it with  our Scorped up Sun-Mars square urges.  We can’t afford it! And Mars in Leo won’t do it without a good out fit and a spa to go and recover in after making his/her scene.

But there is still a choice…You can

(1) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Scorpio. I am talking whacked out diet, advanced astral tripping and conspiracy theorising for pleasure.

(2) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Leo. Think compulsive grooming, devising a new image, watching Out Of Africa with a box of chocolates, some gin and your monogrammed hankies to snivel into.

(3) Vibe Lower Scorp via some google-stalking, facebook cooking, obsessive tarot reading, scribbling stream of consciousness crap in your black book of shitlists/assorted bile and ordering online hoodoo remedies.

(4) Vibe Lower Leo via a quick blow-out, a snort  of hair-spray and off you strut to lecture your lowerlings on the superiority of thou,  hold forth on the crap state of the country because you are not running it and denounce religion – what would be the point unless YOU were the supreme deity. Then, when hubris has reached critical levels, text something that you only think is subtle as you’re so s-faced.

(5) Channel Venus-Jupiter and think beautiful, crystal-style thoughts of love and compassion towards even those peeps who truly annoy you. Because, after all, they are not so blessed nor nearly so clever, lucky and pretty as lovely one.

(6) Nothing because you are too busy devising better systems for living via the total Life Coach time management system that is Saturn in the last degrees of Virgo. Seriously, you keep tabs of time and output etc, crunch some numbers and VOILA: genius insights.You also know, because you are so fabulous, that Saturn is going to come BACK to these late degrees of Virgo in early 2010. So even though everything feels different and enlightened v.soon, cleave to the sense of urgency that is making you revamp systems now.

(7) Nothing as you are either an Aries in love with a Leo or a Leo in love with an Aries and you are able to take this extra heat and use it incognito.

And, as you are reading this, i am sure you have it already but if Mars in Leo is really giving you the shits (tired, perpetually pissed off, easily irritated, ready to scream etc) then do order Martian Bats.

January Jones Harpers Bazaar - June 2009 Uk (1)

Yes, Mad Men’s  January Jones was born in January, a triple Capricorn, in fact: Sun, Venus and Juno. Note cheekbones, glacial cool vibe et al. I’d think Aries Rising, from her brows alone. She’s named after January Wayne, a character in Jacqueline Susann’s Once Is Not Enough.  Had the parents read it (?!), one wanders.

Anyway, two things. I read in a magazine at a cafe that she has the word “bellatrix” (Latin for female warrior) white-inked onto her wrist. I love that. So annoying now that when i go to google bellatrix i get only the Harry Potter character and an infusion of Helena Bonham Carter.

Second thing; January Jones’ chart is an interesting illo of astrology; Triple Cap, as I said and with Uranus, Vesta, Pallas-Athene and Moon all in Scorpio – very good for playing a woman with a lot of burning interior material.  A big vengeful too. Note how she bided her time and then slagged her ex (Ashton Kutcher, Aqua man to the max) to the greatest effect and had his “lack of support” widely reported.

But her breakthrough role as Betty Draper and increasing prominence has coincided with two astrological transits:  Jupiter on her Part Of Fortune AND Pluto opposite her natal Jupiter.  Anything with Pluto and Jupiter involved has the potential to be what i call a ‘mogul transit’ – even if it is a so-called hard aspect.

And we were going on about the Part of Fortune & luck etc just the  other day!

Have been reading this fab book about Magic Words & amongst many things, it says that the word “amen” – most usually uttered at the end of a Christian Prayer such as grace is actually referring to the Ancient Egyptian creator God; Amon or Amun.  I completely love it when ancient Gods, Goddesses and archetypes show themselves to be so woven with our officially non-magical life now.  Does anyone know anything about this?  He’d have to be a Trickster Deity as well, to have so successfully ensured the ongoing use of the name in a worshipful context. No?

When I got Ancient Egyptomania as a child, i stopped at Isis & Osiris. He was before them. Scanning the Wiki, Amon/Amun seems akin to Jupiter and with a strong Aries vibe, as you see by the Ram references;

“…In Libya there remained a solitary oracle of Amun in the Libyan Desert at the oasis of Siwa. Such was its reputation among the Classical Greeks that Alexander the Great journeyed there after the battle of Issus and during his occupation of Egypt, where he was declared the son of Amun by the oracle. Alexander thereafter considered himself divine. Even during this occupation, Amun, identified by these Greeks as a form of Zeus, continued to be the principal local deity of Thebes during its decay.

Several words derive from Amun via the Greek form, Ammon: ammonia and ammonite. The Romans called the ammonium chloride they collected from deposits near the Temple of Jupiter Amun in ancient Libya ’sal ammoniacus’ (salt of Amun) because of proximity to the nearby temple. foraminifera. Both these foraminiferans (shelled Protozoa) and ammonites (extinct shelled cephalopods) bear spiral shells resembling a ram’s, and Ammon’s, horns. Ammonia, as well as being the chemical, is a genus name in the

The regions of the hippocampus in the brain are called the cornu ammonis – literally “Amun’s Horns”, due to the horned appearance of the dark and light bands of cellular layers…”

Amen?

YAY! Jupiter is Direct today!!!! Tues night is thus perfect for some grandiose resolutions. Remember it’s Jupiter in Aquarius so make them as ostentatious,  utopian and bats as possible. It’s Jupiter so nix self-doubt with Saggo-style gusto. It’s the Dark Moon so you are still resting in prep for the seriously full on new phase starting next week – these resolutions  need not be affirmed with champagne or yelling. Jupiter is heading forward to conjunct Chiron and Neptune again – the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding is on again. Think: Unusual ways to totally reinvent everything and turn it into a haute Aquarius vision of modern living. Yes, despite Pluto in Cap & whatever Saturn is doing du jour.

Everyone: Please post your most brilliant and O.T.T. Jupiter Direct Vows of Extreme Fabulousity….

ameliaearhart

An expedition is on to find more info re Ms Amelia Earhart, the fearless pilot (and Leo) who disappeared in July 1937. She was fascinating and on this site here you can see what some say is a message from her, suggesting Earhart was held in capitivity. By the Japanese presumably. She was, at that point, the most famous woman in the world.

“These mysterious initials were found in a prison cell
on the walls of the Japanese Jail, Garapan, Saipan, and were
given to Tom Devine by William Grandt of Chicago who claims
to have the original photo. The letters are not Japanese. Gradt
said the photo was taken in 1944, and that he received it from
Jose Deloen Aspiros, now deceased, when he visited Saipan in
the late 1970s. The handwriting on the wall was first photographed
in 1944 and was not translated until a woman from Colorado gave
an interpretation of its mystic message. The initials “AE” are
boldly clear.
The arrow was interpreted as being one of the signs
of the planet Mars. The “4″ represents the planet Jupiter. The six
horizontal lines are the six lines of “I Ching” from the ancient Chinese
Book of Oracles. Within the six lines of I-Ching is the date “72″ or
July 2nd the date Earhart disappeared. Whoever put this inscription
on the wall of the Japanese Jail at Garapan knew their astrology and
knew their astrological chart.

In this inscription, Amelia is praying for action from the planet
Mars and good fortune from Jupiter. She is a “seven” as
there are seven letters in the Earhart name. The number
“seven” has double lines for emphasis. The six unbroken
lines represent the strongest of the Hexagrams of I-Ching.
She is crying out for Mars and Jupiter to come for her in
the hour of need. Mars and Jupiter appear as conjunct
on July 24, 1897, the date Amelia Earhart was born.”

Have a look at the inscriptions and see what you think I note that there was a Mars Jupiter conjunction on October 30 1937, months after she disappeared and that as a pilot used to flying by night she would have been familiar with these planets; they’re very bright. But familiar enough with astrology to do the Mars-Jupiter glyphs?

If it is the I-Ching hexagram – and it sure looks like it – then she has given it a ‘broken’ number 3 which would thus read: “Creative power that becomes known – but dangers lurk in the rise to fame.”

Camille Paglia wrote of her; “Amelia Earhart symbolizes modern woman’s invasion of the male world of daring adventure. As an aviator, she broke barriers and made the machine age her own. As a recreational athlete and automobile driver, she embodied fitness, energy and breezy mobility…Her ability to open her mysterious poetic inner self to the camera lens was as advanced as any movie stars…”

Her Chart: Sun in Leo conjunct South Node – bright soul from the past. Mars & Jupiter conjunct in Virgo – yes – but squaring her Moon + Pluto in Gemini. Also in Gemini; Venus, Ceres, Neptune & Part of Fortune. Uranus is conjunct Saturn in Scorpio.

Today is the Ancient Roman worship day of Fortuna Redux – goddess of successful journeys and safe returns!

Fortuna is from whom we get the term Lady Luck & the Pars Fortunae (Part Of Fortune) in your chart is where you are traditionally fortunate! There are articles on it here and here & you can bung it easily into your chart using Astrodienst’s Extended Chart Options.  It’s an Arabic Part & thus from a different school of astro – there are dozens of these so-called Arabic Parts; The Part of Fascination, the Part Of Treachery, The Part Of Karma etc. Deeply interesting but maddening to the person setting out to learn about astrology, which is why i so rarely go on about them.

BUT, for a good time (if you are an aspiring Astro-Fiend) have a look at your Part of Fortune & the House that it is in + any major and tight-orb aspects that it makes.  To also Do: Compare it with Jupiter – the official “benefic” of the planetary pow-pow, along with our lady Venus. A Part Of Fortune hitting on Jupiter and/or Venus would be officially brill. Think also of transits involving this lot as being when you ponce out to try on some new biz.

And yes, I am back and i had a successful journey thank you so much!

It’s a super-strong Aquarian Moon as Mercury stations Direct. Ultra-aware and ultra restless. Very intellectual & insane cravings for space. Artemis is fast approaching the Auspicious Aqua Weirding so lots of good things developing even as these last days of Saturn chez Virgo make it mega apparent what platform is crumbling beneath our sexy barefeet.  And dreams??? Sooo lucid. Remember this sort of hi-Qi Uranian energy thrashes the nerves if you don’t nutrionally sustain and  hydrate yourself.
