April 1st Tomorrow!

Blackbirds At Night

Tomorrow is April Fools Day, or as I call it, Unofficial Loki Day. Don’t forget to do something nice for your friendly neighborhood God of Mischief. 😉

I’m cooking up a batch of spicy chili for dinner and lighting some of Beth’s fabulous incense for Him. No pranks, more than likely. I’ve been super distracted these past few months, so I’m planning on doing something nice to kind of make up for that. Although He would probably be amused if I did try to play a joke on Him. He’d probably have fun making the joke backfire and explode in my face. Haha! Oh, Loki… XD

April 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 14 (W14)

The early hours are tough for most people who are up at that time, but they can also bring inspirations to writers and other communicators.  Harness the window if you can; it is fleeting.  Moon turns void at 11:39 AM CDT and remains void for most of the reset of the day (until Moon enters 8:37 PM CDT).

Today is “April Fools Day” for those who celebrate such thing, so watch out for Uranian / Plutonian “holiday” surprises.

We note five (5!) Mercury aspects, and noting that Mercury rules tricksters, jesters, thieves, and liars, do be extra careful regarding these kinds of surprises.  But, again, writers and communicators will likely thrive today.  Today is an unusually strong window for writers and communicators (maybe the strongest this year).

Mercury Retrograde Dates: 2016 | The Old Farmer’s Almanac

Only a little over four weeks until the next one. Better get ready!

Crystal Grid

kameamoonmaiden

I made this grid and blessed with Reiki for the healing of families, my own, and everyone’s. I meditated by it and smudged with white sage and pine. I have called on Archangel Chamuel to assist with matters of health and Archangel Michael to assist with protection and strength. I anointed my crystals with lemon and made this right before doing my reading.

Today was a family day and my topic of study was crystal therapy. I finished up the grid by saying affirmations like, “We are all healing every day in every way. I love myself and I love every member of my family. The more I love myself and others, the more others love themselves, each other, and me. I am willing to receive health and abundance. I am willing to allow the perfect plan for my life and for my family to unfold.”

Namaste, my friends.

2016-03-31 Mercury Conjunct Uranus (Kite + Hele + Mystic Rectangle)

This is the kind of day that will pass you by in the blink of an eye if you do not take a moment to capture the insights and images that present themselves.  Camera, video recorder, cell phone, notepad, and whatever can benefit you greatly when you see that one fleeting moment that you may never see again.  Today is all about insights, powerful insights, and the patterns here tell us that “somebody” can benefit greatly from them.

Surprises and accidents can happen as well.  Be on top of what can be learned from them.

The obvious source of the benefit is a “kite” pattern in play, and we show perfection of Mercury Conjunct Uranus (Aries) filtered for that pattern:

The key issue here is one of trust (Juno) v. “how we have always done things”…

Astrological Moment – The Star

Meaning of houses: Aries on house cusps

Astrology

This is the first in a series about astrological houses – all signs on the house cusps will follow!

Many know what it means to have Aries Ascendant, but what does it mean to have the sign Aries on the other house cusps? You may not even know what the astrological term ‘house’ actually means.

Houses are areas of life experience. Think of it as a movie or a play: planets are the actors, and houses are the scenes where the actors perform. What happens between the actors is called aspects, and the way the players (planets) act depends on the sign they’re in.  These are the four building blocks of astrology: planets, signs, houses, and aspects.

Here, I’ll talk about what it’s like when Mars rules a scene, or in other words, Aries is on the house cusp. Mars rules, or is the planet associated with Aries.

Astrology: Technique Sums of the Sun

When summing multiple planets modular arithmetic is necessary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic For example: (Sun + Moon + Mercury + Venus) MOD 360. Other approaches COULD be used (Mean, Median, etc.) Would be interesting to explore this further and see what emerges.

Divination Counseling Service

There is a great deal of math involved in Astrology.  We don’t usually see how much it helps our understanding until we go deeper into the calculations mathematically and find out how much more detail or information is there to aid us.

Today I thought it would be fun for me to teach you some of the basic math that can be used in predictive work.  For our example I will use the New Moon Chart.  Since the New Moon is an event, this will give us another way to look at that event.  All signs and degrees of the Zodiac can come down to a simple number.  For example the Sun and Moon are both 18 degrees of Aries.  Since Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac the number is 18.04.  Now if we were working with 20 degrees of Aquarius we would then use the number 320. …

Astrology, Form & Awareness

journeys in the astral light

Hello again! Today I have a post which was inspired by a private question put to me from a student in South America a few moons back.

For the European Ash Tree

Basically, he wanted to ask me how the chart of an adept or someone who is enlightened applies to them, if it did at all. I asked him if he would not mind me taking this on board as the subject of an article, and he agreed. The reason why I wanted to treat the subject this way was because answering it actually opens up a huge area of astrology that very little has been written about – the way in which astrology interacts with form and awareness. In the process of reflecting on these matters a great deal of illumination can be cast onto astrology itself, what it is and what it is not, and we wade…

Venus/Mars Blends : Venus in Gemini, Mars in Scorpio

SAGITTARIAN MIND CONSULTING™

Although you’re the type to enjoy a lighthearted “good time” and may even express your deepest feelings in the form of anecdotes,  if someone were to delve into your interior just a little bit more, they would see that it’s not all adolescent giggles and midnight games of scrabble.

You value variety, but depth is pursued in a fervent, almost “do or die” fashion. Once you get your emotional energy swirling behind a cause (especially love or lust), all bets are off.

You have the potential to relate to others with a dexterity which disarms them, but you don’t stop there. In fact, this is only a means to explore the gloss of the surface before diving into deep waters. Once you’ve arrived you like to penetrate and be penetrated : spiritually, physically, psychologically and emotionally.

One may get the idea that you’re footloose and fancy free because you seem to navigate life with such aplomb…
