The Mercury In Leo Opposite Auspicious Aqua-Weirding

Okay, I have only ever driven a Porsche once & now I don’t even drive at all – Mars-Uranus conjunction can be a bit reckless with machinery. T’is not a good idea.  And it’s sextile Neptune.  ANYWAY,  my point is this: The current Mercury in Leo opposite Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune in Aquarius situation is an astonishing energy. It reminds me of driving a really powerful, potentially fast sportscar. Like the feeling when you put your foot on the accelerator of a Porsche & it’s like you could just flex  your big toe and it would do something fuqing full-on.

It’s an astro-energy whereby it’s fantastic for manifesting brilliant things & thinking way Over The Top as you goal-set but it’s ever so teetering on being completely bonkers. And peeps who are astro-sensitive CAN feel this so exquisitely. eg; this morning i was sitting there, still with the sage & lavender compress clamped to my forehead thank you very much & having a whole host of BIG ideas & then i had to stop myself from actually making a few calls – you need to put some things off until the mega-sane Capricorn moon next Monday.

So scheme grandiosely & be brave et al but back off before taking strong action today, especially if it in any way could be traced back to your ego. The lower end of this Astro-Weirding is egomania fuelled by Aqua-bats truculence..Go with the bold envisioneering & faith bit of it. Don’t slam your foot down on the pedal…Strategy would be a fine thing & it’s not the forte of Leo or Aquarius.

Overdoing Artemsia?

Holy hell, maybe I am overdoing the Artemesia Vulgaris (Mugwort aka Moxa, see my post on it here) …The psychic insights evoked by my dreams are just SO intense. I mean, useful, for sure. But one wakes up with a w.t.f smirk of bewilderment in the morning, post dreaming.

I seriously lucid-dreamed that i was flying at night over dark green bushland and into a headwind. I was totally trying to make for some lights in the distance where i felt it would be safe to land & not let the winds force me down into this forest in a storm. Even though it was stressy, i was thinking ‘wow, isn’t flying by broomstick SO simple & convenient…’

Yes, On a Broomstick. I hardly ever have lucid flying dreams but they are incredible…How common ARE they? I mean the ones where it feels like you totally are out there, flying about & you have to concentrate when you come swooping to land on a tree or something?  A few years ago, when I had Neptune on my Ascendant, I had then all the time & fantastical visions too. There is nothing so strong as a Neptune transit to hype your dreams, psychic powers and other-worldly awareness.

If you are BORN with Neptune conjoined to the Sun, Moon, personal planet or Ascendent you’ve got a headstart so far as telepathy et al is concerned. You have only to discover your personal gift and not piss it away, lol.

Anyway, my latest lucid dreaming was with just my Mugwort, Lavender & Hops dream pillow – $4 from eBay, awesome bargain here.  Okay and a pinch of mugwort in my mint tea. Anyway, dream pillows are easy to buy online – just get one with organic herbs from someone who seems to love what they are doing.

An Aqua Moonwane applies now & through till early A.M. Sunday in the Southern Hemisphere/Saturday in the Northern World. It’s right this moment conjoining the North Node in Aquarius & then later, Neptune, Chiron & Jupiter. Intense hi-Qi meditation & awareness possibilities – fab for any kind of energy work from acupuncture to Feng Shui, Reiki, Homeopathy…Stupendous for dreaming. I’m going in hardcore with some Mugwort tea to enhance my nocturnal journeyings. Note; never ever do Mugwort if you have been drinking wine or similar substance. You can’t do High & Low Neptune at the same time!

And note that the Moon in Aquarius contacting Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune also sets off the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding which intensifies in July (as a counterpoint to the Eclipse Madness) and climaxes in Feb 2010 as Chiron & Neptune make a relatively rare conjunction. Again, where-ever you have Aquarius in your chart is where you’ve just gotta be ultra-New-Age re everything; it will work beautifully if you can pull if off. And where-ever you have Virgo, you embrace a sort of insane work and details ethic, for best results.

Try-try TRY to do some dream-meditation style trip in the next few days…Epsom salts bath, lavender oil, mugwort or mint tea and a big pad or your Book of Shadows beside the bed to record the lurid/lucid resulting insights & images!

In fact, let’s have a dream comp – Thursday Night, no matter where you are  in the world, is SO powerful for dreamwork…

Astro-Housewitchery; Lavender

Lavender is so sensational & surely the ideal essential oil to have around anytime but especially to be more tranquil during a Dark Moon. Or you can tear sprigs off & put them in your pillowcase & this is the most amazing recipe for Lavender muffins.  Lavender comes from the Latin ‘lavandas’ – things to be washed, probably because Ancient Romans knew how fab & tranquility inducing it is to bung in with the laundry. It’s a.k.a Elf Leaf and Nard. As the latter, it is mentioned in the Song Of Solomon.

Lavender is a herb of of Mercury & Air. Mercury is Messenger of the Gods. It’s thus so appropriate that it is Lavender/Elf-Leaf that actually started modern aromatherapy. Rene Maurice Gattefosse was working in a perfume lab when he burned his hand and – intuitively or just in pain – plunged it into a beaker of pure lavender oil. The hand healed beautifully and voila; aromatherapy. All because of lovely lavender.

A few drops of the oil on your temples is ultra-calming & sprinkled on sheets if you’re restless at night, ditto. They say that asps – the snakes – like to sleep in lavender bushes, which makes me think of Cleopatra. Maybe the asp wasn’t in her bowl of fruit but actually in the lavender bought in for her bath? Only she would have called it Nard, of course.

Dark Moon Dreaming

It’s Dark Moon Dreaming night…In the hours before the New Moon in Pisces, the Moon is still near Neptune -ruler 0f dreams…And Pisceans. Precognition too. This is such a powerful dreaming Moon, you can do lots of psych-work even whilst your cells renew themselves and fresh synapses sprout in your lovely brain. Slather on some moisturising gunk, drink some mint tea, whack some lavender on your sheets & happy astral travels. Ensure you have notepaper by the bed to capture your incredible nocturnal insights.

Moon in Virgo Therapy

An unencumbered waning Moon in Virgo & cleaning truly  is therapeutic. Ditto organising, culling, sorting & editing.  The Sun in Aquarius draws near to Neptune: For brilliantly lucid dreaming, drink mint tea (spearmint, peppermint, anymint) before bed tonight & dab essential oil of lavender on temples as you to sleep. The really High-Functioning Flakes can whack a crystal in between the pillow-slip and their pillow.

Am writing weekly scopes for mid-March but seeking reassurance that there are actually men in my world who might like me other than the ludicrously handsome but chemically insane Uranian and the maybe-married Leo-Rising-Aquarian-Rugger-Stud, I was skimming a dating site. There’s men all right. And I clicked on the profile of one – hilarious. It said something to the tune of “if you are a woman sitting alone in a house with three cats and a pile of self-development books move right along, I am not for you.”  Mortifying. Not only was I alone in the house with three cats hanging around, I had a pile of books about things like Aura-Reading, Feng Shui For Dummies, Why Sugar Is The Devil, my esoteric symbols dictionary,  Exploring Jupiter, The Art Of Seduction, Memories, Dreams & Reflections by Jung & Why Men Love Bitches. I was like this guy’s Nightmare Girl!

BTW: I have a feeling that Uranus into Aries (it will be next year!) is going to translate into a massive spike in the amount of people doing D.I.Y. I don’t mean just the obvious things like D.I.Y. tiling your own bathroom, I mean D.I.Y. everything. Uranus in Aries is also heaps of records being broken, a whole new level of sports genius. Cloned athletes?
