*+-Uranus is up into all kinds of mess these days. Squaring Pluto and Jupiter and when Mars hits Libra for that extended stay in 2014? Yeah, you got it. Cardinal Grand Cross. I don’t want to go global though at the moment. I want to talk about Uranus energy itself. […]
Uranus
*+-Someone wrote to me with a question about her Uranus transit. Uranus through the 8th House. I’m having this too. The first thing I think is (here is an example of my astrological thinking): -what does Uranus mean? And then I think: what does the 8th House mean? That’s the […]
*+-Going through the old poems, ones that I haven’t even posted here… I can see clearly how many of the poems fail. They have beginnings or ends but are not fully realized. Something is missing. This is not necessarily a bad thing. And the work did change over the years. […]
*+-Uranus opposition Uranus: a famous mid-life transit. I’m going through it now. Are you? And how I’m feeling is that I’m Not Done Yet. Sudden surges of energy desperate for experience: I want this and I want this and I want THIS. It’s a greedy transit. My progressed Moon is […]
*+-Computer problems unhinge me. Anyone who knows me knows that computer problems unhinge me. I mean, if this thing wasn’t solved tonight I would have run out tomorrow morning and bought new. That was my plan. There was a time I had 4 used iMacs (remember those?) just in case […]
*+-I woke up this morning thinking about love and Venus is in slow, strong, steady Taurus as I write this and this morning I was thinking about how my definition of love has changed over the years but now — it’s that I’m still trying to figure it out and […]
*+-This was one of my first blog posts here… I find this topic hard to talk about, which makes me want to talk about it even more. Somewhat. Transiting Uranus in opposition to natal Uranus is one of those famous mid-life transits and I’m just about there. But where it […]
*+-Do you have planets in the 2nd House? I have two planets in the 2nd House although one of them is very close to the cusp so I read it for the 1st House and 2nd House. In Placidus it’s a 2nd House planet and in Equal it’s in the […]
*+- I feel like I can’t keep up with my own changes. Uranus rules sudden changes. I haven’t checked my chart lately but I’m pretty sure there’s some Uranus action going on. What’s happening is happening fast and it’s out of the blue. Well, actually, it’s not totally out of […]
*+-Mars was approaching my natal Pluto when he went retrograde not long ago and I was not in a hurry when I hurt my toe last night on the bathroom door. The thing I had done differently was not wear my “house shoes” when I went to the bathroom, something […]
*+-Think of Aquarius as a breath of fresh AIR. Aquarius is an Air Sign. It is fixed Air so think of the word “fixed” as stable or loyal or use your imaginative forces (to borrow a phrase from Edgar Cayce) to imagine what “fixed” means to you: stubborn? Shall not waver. […]
*+-This blog post was written on the subway, by hand My phone saga continues as I find myself unable to type at all on my new phone. Why? The touch screen is impossible. My brain moves too fast to slip and slide on that thing, swiping, so here I am […]
*+-I’m not very good at the silent treatment. Giving it or receiving it. Not with someone I love. I always come back. My 1st House Pluto keeps getting reborn, keeps coming back. Call it The Zombie Aspect: Moon Pluto conjunction in the 1st House: hard to kill. But when someone […]
*+-I do not remember all the Laws and Rituals of Mourning according to Jewish Law. Not surprising. I’m no longer religious and more of a D.I.Y. type but *I think* for a grandparent one mourns a shorter amount of time than for a parent or a spouse, for example. I […]
*+-Uranus breaks. Saturn builds. These two planets rule Aquarius and the Moon is in Aquarius today. Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury (according to the amazing Isabel Hickey). Mercury is the mind/words/writing, and Uranus? Intuition, which I believe is related to Inspiration and, thus, the breath. This is elementary […]
*+-Well well well. I just had a revelation. With a capital R. And this is a Happy Blog Post even though it’s about feeling depressed because it is true that I, MoonPluto, have been a bit depressed lately but BINGO I figured out why. And not on my walk to […]
*+-Every 7 years. Every 7 years, Uranus takes you by the hand, or by the hair, and says: you’re coming with me! That’s how my first astrologer, years ago, put it. Uranus is the only planetary energy we cannot control (wrote Isabel Hickey). We can only control our reaction to […]
*+-So I was talking to my boyfriend and I was remembering that my natal Uranus trines his Venus, exact I think. And I said to him, “Venus trine Uranus! Your love shocks me.” It’s a good shock though. It’s a trine. But a shock all the same. Shockingly good. Shockingly […]
*+-Do you feel restless during Void of Course Moons? Irritable? Can’t sleep? Is there a Moon tonic we can take for this? Lack of sleep makes me feel awful in every way, and I was on the train the other day wondering whose arms I could crawl into, who would hold […]
*+-Good Evening, Fellow Star Gazers… how was your day? The day’s not over yet, but it sure feels like it. Was a long one here, warm but… You don’t want to talk about the weather, do you? Let’s talk about The Sky! Soon it will be Goodbye Gemini Goodbye as […]
*+-Question: How will Cancer fare when it joins the cardinal family T-Square to make a Grand Cross? As I write this, Mercury in Cancer is at 0 degrees, Saturn is at 10 Libra, Uranus is 4 Aries, and retrograde Pluto in Capricorn at 6. Answer: It will fare sensitively. Weeping […]
*+-Has this been true for you? I’m less than two months away from turning 41 and I still don’t identify with 40. Or with thirtysomethings. What did turning 40 or 41 or 42 (or more) bring you? Can you pinpoint any interesting transits? For the under 40s, what ages/transits were […]
*+-I find this topic hard to talk about, which makes me want to talk about it even more. Somewhat. Transiting Uranus in opposition to natal Uranus is one of those famous mid-life transits and I’m just about there. But where it takes me is to the body, my body, and […]
