fabuloso
i do believe she was flitting around us today as we made excellent progress toward the Good Solution that sits at the end of bureaucracy road.
All those little and not so little Saturnian obstacles got walked over and around or dissolved. Well, maybe not all, there are still a bunch to go...those people who push paper are not easy push-overs. You would be surprised how hard, soft people can be.
Tonight i am the most hopeful that i have been in years. People i love are finding just what they need to be happier. What can be better than that?
(please do not let this turn out to be Neptunian pixie dust) We have worked too hard.
Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Pixie dust!
Oooooh. Wonderful on the Good Solution
You would be surprised how hard, soft people can be.
Good one.
Tonight i am the most hopeful that i have been in years. People i love are finding just what they need to be happier.
This is why I like you.
I have felt for so long that we Sadge types are really in our element now, especially you with the Pluto where it's spinning. The Caps are coming in, but this is a beautiful moment of hope.
I can't even begin on what's happening in my life. Such an incredible mixture of bad and good. But I see at the moment the whole connection. These conversations are solid gold. Rubies included.
Oooh lala. Yes we have worked hard, haven't we?
This last Sag Full moon has been the height. The key is in our hands now. Copper lined boxes?
In this magic moment I see clearly the juxtaposition of optimism and pessimism. Those that feel the genuine goodness of life can't hide it, and those who can't absorb it are unhappy, as usual, watching the ax fall. There is good karma with Sag placements, which is why they are called lucky. It's just attitude and the wise ones build on the natural gift.
Way way back, a very pregnant Capricorn looked at my chart and the first thing she said was You have a strong belief in the goodness of life. Nice words.
yes.
copperlined boxes, optimism,
keys
these are some of what has surfaced as Pluto moves through the last bit of Ullr - the bridge. In some ways the whole period has felt like the time around the winter solstice to me a time of sacred lessons. Some of us seem tuned to that GC transmitter.
I have often wondered by so little was noted about Pluto in Sag being trine Saturn as it moved through Leo. Always the focus is the heavy oppositions and squares. But the keys seem to be right alongside the locks most times.
Why do we not notice that Pluto has the capacity to assist Saturn as it moves through Leo transforming the heartsourced tones with the practical influences.
Like this:
morning

I can see

a new morning

that's how i grow out of this earth

Sagittarians, we do seem to find fun. I'm a firm believer in "small magic" like dandelion fluff. Most people walk around oblivious to the everyday magic.
Tragic.
very nice words - accurate
funny how to have a strong belief in the goodness in life appears to require more courage.
this is the thread that seems to underlie the "movement" i spoke of earlier.
It defines the movement of Pluto in the last degrees of Sagittarius. Ullr. The first of the Athling thews or the Noble virtues of ancient Scandinavia was ellen. Not a woman's name it meant courage. To walk the path through the dark and hold the light. The tree women myths came from this. Inspiration. Integrity of owns own soulpath.
I am remembering how the Arts and Crafts movement was a response to the Victorian age. There are similarities to the time.
Oooooh. It's been awhile since our sparse poet has been here to illuminate with such pleasure.
I love this. The simplicity and rhythm are so soothing.
Most people walk around oblivious to the everyday magic.
Tragic.
They are so caught in the web of details. Still, one has to make the space. Like Valkeappa.
Always the focus is the heavy oppositions and squares. But the keys seem to be right alongside the locks most times.
Yes. I couldn't stand another moment of frightening Mars or Uranus squares. I was dumfounded at how trines are ignored. You are absolutely right about the Jup-Pluto trine to Saturn. And about the availability of the key. Locks always come with one.
Why do we not notice that Pluto has the capacity to assist Saturn
They work well together even when not in trine. This is why I haven't signed my death certificate with Pluto in Capricorn like the rest of them. And of course that 6 year trine to Uranus in Taurus I'm looking forward too.
One of the esteemed fakes around these parts insisted in a talk with me one day that this trine with Pluto-Saturn-Jupiter in Cap was going to be diastrous. They certainly must like pain, they seek it everywhere.

There's always a good aspect somewhere.
Man, you are on.
accurate

Why is this? So truthful. But it gives me a lift.
It's really interesting philosophically. Maybe that confidence is born in the contrast, and courage out of fear. But what makes one have it and another remain afraid, weak, and victimized?
To walk the path through the dark and hold the light.
Takes a lot of courage. Now is the time to embrace it.
There is so much Cardinal movement ahead, and in order to build well with capricorn, we have to have this optimism. That's the reason for the tests in obtaining the real thing.
Apres Victorian. Hmmmm. We'll see what emerges. Something is about to germinate.
You know, Wise 1. I think all these words we're putting into the waves and particles are affecting the outcome. It's past street fighting and we might never go back. A new era of political influence. I think Cindy Sheehan's horrible outburst was part of the end. Something wasn't right. That kind of personal screaming agony could be over.
I'm going to stop worrying about repeating myself. Education is based on repetition.
Do you hear that universe?
Yeeeeeesssss
In some ways the whole period has felt like the time around the winter solstice to me a time of sacred lessons.
For me, I'm always getting them, but the ones now seem larger in dimension and somehow more connected. To what, I do not know. It could be the collective picking up on it that's adding this.
yes that, and for me there is a time warp where i'm not sure which reality i'm in.
-please hold while i check which moment i'm in.
Past memories of the future, shift in and out, a jumble, much more than usual. Yet it seems just fine, acceptable, not a distortion, just some simultaneous progression.
And several things that i have been seeing -images of old dreams, the BIG dreams
-an earthquake just hit. Rumble, rumble. The moon has been a haunting colour covered in mist. A heaviness has been pressing here all day. Perhaps this will release it.
The Big dreams come as intense visions as if i am living them, i wonder is this my future, something seems off. Then quite by "accident" i find in fact there is Big dream only others are living it.. Could it be that seeds i set into a place were found, the energy picked up and carried to a different but very similar conclusion, somehow i remain connected as i know all the details as if i am present. I'm not sure i expressed that very well. It seems that it has something to do with clarity of intention but timing mechanisms being out of alignment. Like KJ's clock we are living in multiple times a multi dimensional go game perhaps.
Winston would know. Man i'm glad we have such experts available for consultation.
Yes. This meeting of the minds beyond ordinary consciousness has been helpful.
There are always so many levels in an experience. The solar fire of your whole incarnation is being rooted up and held in the hand of this magician, Pluto. I would assume the soul memory is involved and trying to get that all in place in solar consciousness could be the Big Dream. the Big Dream trying to become little, maybe.
At the same time your Moon and subconscious are activated. And maybe you are going trough a solar-lunar integration, creating the magnitude and the explosive quality.
Some ideas. Trying to fit others into your dreamworld is a challenge. So many of them. Scattering then coming close. Are you the center of the group? Could be developing moreso with the Sun transit.
Probably a conversation for the patio.
A Pluto-Sun transit is a major major event. Only a few get one in a lifetime which alone says something about the incarnation and self. The importance of the soul's ego this time around. Essential to what it wants to accomplish.
there is a time warp where i'm not sure which reality i'm in.
I think that's always so with a NN in Pisces. Takes some getting used to with all the practical demands of daily living. But I think ultimately, the practical finds its place comfortably in the shifting realities. Your brother and the connections I think will lead to this knowledge even moreso.
I think it's time to enjoy the madness before Saturn settles into Virgo and the practical might take some precedence.
My god. What a thought. The patio conversations. That would be a great book title.
The Sun-Leo is really the Boss, and your ruler is in the 5th. Could be part of the take charge lesson in your life now. You might be the only one to do it.
Ha Ha yes it would.
Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that most people live ordinary lives. Some do not. I think you are of the do not variety. Pluto-Sun is the big opening.
We must write that book.
Could be part of the take charge lesson in your life now. You might be the only one to do it.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!
that sure hits home though nothing seems new or now about that.
As your esteemed papa would say
Enough is too much.
Or maybe it just asks to pick one, the one you really want.
Yes. The one for you.
And really, tseka. That book. Oh my. What a joy. Half of it's already here in the archives. We could sit on the patio feeling the earth rumble and do the most magnificent editing job known to the human species. Oh my.
We must write that book.
remember me? mercury retrograde even if it is in the 10th. Notice it is square my moon in the 7th?
If i wrote a book with you (though that does sound absolutely fab) i would lose my bon bon status, demoted from sticky honey bun. To what? probably day old bread. Alors. Maybe stuffing mix.
The Pluto-Sun is asking for success to match the treasure of self esteem he's delivering. Recognition is the key.
LOL!!!! Stuffing is great! Remember I have the 7th SN too, so I know all about this stuff.
Very true. The illusion would deflate. At first. But the dual creation would lift us to new heights.
And guess what???????
I live on day old bread on account of my artist's budget!! Artisan bread, however.
Actually i do agree. The group or what i prefer to call the circle needs to collaborate. I am certain of the importance of writing the root of the "movement" deciphering and uncovering all the treasures in the copper lined boxes.
And here's the part on the patio you would detest. When I get into my "I'm through with everyone" phase. I've had it! Enough is way too mmuch! See you next lifetime!
Always temporary.
The treasures in the boxes are completely Plutonian. Your 8th house. If you want the group to have them, I think you have to take the lead. They will nod in agreement at first, then lose strength and motivation. They have to be continually energized. It takes much much energy, probably from unseen sources, to lead well and still allow each individual autonomy. Aquarius rising, ruler in the 5th.
I'm experiencing similar things with my Saturn return and Pluto opposite my Uranus.
With the Saturn in Leo ending I can't just sit and watch the group's potential disintegrate in bad leadership. They need the fire of inspiration.
This is great. I'm thinking. I was going to do an article on this.
The circle, as you call it, has the dot in the center in astrology. The Sun. I think there has to be a magnetic element that pulls from the center and holds the group together. That's why Leo, the monarch, is given this job. It's the opposite of Aquarius, but they can be blended.
I've never thought of myself as a leader. I'm too loose, and want people to do whatever they want. But the fire element people are the monarchical leaders, both Leo and Sagittarius. People can still be equal parts of the whole, but this central magnetism must also be at work, I believe. The flame that draws. If a person is one of these, she has the responsibility to live up to the job. And she must own her power and use it wisely.
With the Saturn in Leo ending I can't just sit and watch the group's potential disintegrate in bad leadership. They need the fire of inspiration.
i completely agree. This is a constant topic around here. My son has been nagging me for years.
After i discovered that some folks had taken my dissertation and with barely a change were presenting it as an international lecture series i decided that i am perhaps just what i have been told the seed child. Big lesson that. giving away.
Sometimes taking is an even harder lesson.
I read the 5th house as the real leadership factor. They must have the spotlight, or the destiny won't be fulfilled.
You are magnetic, a draw, Raging Universe is like the Great Attractor.
I understand completely. The desire to open a space for another is to let them be just as they are. Few can.
You once said that you held a long leash in partnership- this i understand.
You can see this in George Bush with his SN in the 5th. The failed act of leadeship in a huge dramatic way. Leaving the stage forever.
receiving is definitely the harder lesson.
deerheart, i must go off to sleep, another long day awaits me tomorrow.
No aftershocks. that's odd.
OMG, tseka, my partner in knowledge. I have no idea what to do. With this Saturn return I did not expect the draw and now I'm in a tizzy. my creation, Raging Uni has become a dragon.
I'm not really doing it. I'm the vehicle. I keep wanting to escape, but there is something ahead and I have to proceed.
Yes. The long leash is what I'm famous for. But now, I have to put a tighter one on myself and the bit in the mouth. In some ways, my carefree days are over.
I can only let RU be my leader now. It's amazing. And I haven't even begun.
Peaceful dreams my day old Honey Bun.
See already demoted. The sticky can't be too sticky the second day. Maybe that's better. I've always scraped the frosting off cake.
i have strong confidence everything is going in the right direction, just not one we imagined earlier. And perhaps we now have some understanding of the duality of role we play which was not so apparent to us younger. Integrity underlies it all but the role may change to fit the circumstance/setting. This is far different from deception. Nor is it acting. It is presenting in a form that the audience can understand. This is unselfish.

Ooohhhh, mamma.
Maybe that's what happens with the second return. We play the learning roles until we're ready.
I scrape the frosting off too!! I thought there was some salt in that sticky bun.
Wonderful thoughts to sleep with. This last one is a doozy. An answer lies within. Thank you Wise 1.

Yes, Tseka, you expressed this perfectly, at least for me. Thank you!
Well, I read this blog too fast, like I eat rice, gulping.
Repetition. yes. haha! "Repetition" yes.
Giving away seeds, oh my. They just won't stay in the basket!
The political collective, I'm gone. Left my last message to someone who picked up my seeds too late, used them for profit and gain, has lost the edge of the holy instant, seems (to me) to have lost all sense of timing. For me, too slow. Way, way, way too slow. There is no more work for me to do in that realm. No regrets for me, but no more visions, either. It's obvious the long slow leavetaking was necessary for me, but the political world was part of my own matrix, and one of my mother's legacies to me, since childhood.
There is comfort in knowing a job was done well, an inheritance spent (or invested) to the last penny.
To be the end in a long line.
There is freedom in that.
Hahahaha
well guess what, that little neptune faerie is the real deal.
The coin? solid. And ja, i did have to grab the spotlight away from the others who wanted to be the main actors. Success. The road to the solution looks fair with some rain on saturday. A room awaits. Funding will arrive shortly. It will work.
Been watching this whole drama as if it were the Nep|Sat drama, a soap opera. Delusion|obstacles. A shoot-'em-up sometimes...shooting self in foot mostly. Who better to be the main character than the midpoint Taruean Asc. (stubborn = the bullets)
i am too exhausted to be anything more than elated.
Oh ja forgot the rubies, the nurse supervisor is thrilled with the homeopathic treatment protocol.
OH!!!!!Oh my god!!!! Oh oh oh!! I'm jubilant! Ecstatic!
Tseka, this is so good.
This faerie (correct spelling for her) has been busy. She's an angel.
And ja, i did have to grab the spotlight away from the others who wanted to be the main actors. Success.
OMG. And the nurse.
Thank you so much my No Longer Hot Cross Bun, for delivering this news. You've made my night a pleasure. Oh the tingles.
um did you mean no longer hot and cross?
Correct very chilly here today a relief on all counts. Cross hmmm still needs some time.
Yes. Cross no more. At least for a moment.
Cross.... That's quite a word. Maybe some emotion like this is part of getting across the bridges we seem to be encountering nonstop these days. All on the Big Bridge.
haha
Jm you delight me so
Well tomorrow is load 'em up and move 'em out.
Probably early friday am.
So....i'm off to the land of nod.
Well tomorrow is load 'em up and move 'em out.
OMG.
You've done so well. A sweet long embrace for you, my dear 1.
And I'm looking forward to some delightful times ahead with maybe a tiny bit less worry.
Dream well.
It is good to know what translates, and what doesn't. :-)
Early Friday morning... good travel wishes your way, teska. :-)
