satori on ElsaElsa » Venus And Self Esteem

February 22nd, 2012 @ 11:00 am by satori on ElsaElsa

Crictor on the beachWhere in the chart is the key to self esteem? Well, the Moon shows our needs for emotional satisfaction, but esteem, the word itself, is more closely aligned with valuation. What we find valuable relates more to Venus, though these issues can often overlap. Venus is associated with partnering and romantic love, but if you look at some of the expressions of Venus in myth you can see desire for pleasure that is divorced from morality. This is so because Venus “values” are not necessarily moral or ethical, they are merely what one finds appealing, what one desires, what brings pleasure.

The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Chiron and Neptune remain in Pisces today and tomorrow, causing the effects of yesterday’s New Moon linger, and very slowly dissipate. If you’re someone who likes to get on with things you may feel irritated, especially when the Moon opposes Mars, midday.

Mars is also tweaking Venus in Aries so there are definitely people who want to move and move now!

For good or ill, we’re all in this together, though not always comfortably so.

Yesterday a story appeared in the NYTimes which is perfect for the rich fantasy world of the Pisces lunar cycle which begins today.

A seed was found in an ice age squirrel’s burrow that has been scientifically hocused pocused into a living plant. If it turns out to be legitimate this plant was last seen about 32,000 years ago in the Siberian tundra. Apparently the squirrel who gathered the seed put it in his little cubby in the permafrost which acted like a nice refrigerator and kept it from going bad in the summer. Little did that squirrel know that it would pop up as a plant on some scientist’s desk in Russia thirty thousand years later.

Consider it my Fat Tuesday gift to you.

“This is an amazing breakthrough,” said Grant Zazula of the Yukon Paleontology

Luna Muses I feel at peace. Is this allowed? Surely there are things to attend to. Floating in a tranquil sea can accomplish no thing. Perhaps I need no thing. Perhaps I need only be Love. Then let this be the One thing I do.

Starcana » Cosmic Dirt Astrology, February 22, 2012

Strong sensations begin to awaken deep within us as Moon sextiles Pluto this morning, while Luna’s conjunction with Mercury in Pisces allows us to understand. Today’s vibrations are charmed, so it may be suggested to keep a pen and dream journal handy to log feelings and experiences. Hidden messages with deeper insight is available for those who seek it… especially as the power of intent is energized from yesterday’s New Moon. Key words should be ‘Let go, to move forward’. Let go of reason, excuses, and defeat ~ and move mountains tomorrow. Emotions will heighten later as Moon opposes Mars rx. Self-control is encouraged to maintain inner balance. ‘Become a person who refuses to be offended by anyone, anything, or any set of circumstances’. Tarot Guidance from King of Wands, The Lovers rx: Failure does not become you.

AstroGeek » New Moon in Pisces- Under the Influence

February 22nd, 2012 @ 4:30 am by AstroGeek

Piscean checklist:
Great new Music? Check
Junk food? Check
Cautious optimism regarding events to come? Check
Enough caffeine to bring down a musk ox? Check to the power of Check
Lets do this
Alright ladies and gentlemen, we are now officially in Piscean waters. The rising tide and all that. And this New Moon? Well, it puts the last one to shame. Right now you’re probably feeling like you are trying to stand on a cresting wave, like everything is shifting below your feet. Well, suck it up, because its not going to get any easier. This is the part where you find out whether or not you can swim.
Take a deep breath. Are you ready to take the plunge?
Sun/Moon/Neptune/Chiron/Pallas Athene- Well, I did warn you guys. This Lunation features a cacophony (or a cesspool) of the

It’s Pisces. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Chiron, Neptune

Where does Pisces fall in your chart,

What do you need to heal?

Set your intentions is what people say,

but this is Pisces so I say make your WISH.

I have to admit, it still feels like the dark of the moon to me,
So dark that I just blogged about it, and then had to so a rethink,
Is that just how deeply Pisces everything is right now?

We are ALL in the soup.

What a Neptune on that Band!
Do you suppose the combined chart of Parliament puts their Sun in Pisces
Or perhaps in Leo conjunct Neptune?

Breathe Deep and Keep Swimming

Kisses!

The next couple of days could be tricky for accomplishing things. Mars retrograde in Virgo (perfection-obsession, going back over the details) will be challenged in two ways; with an opposition from Mercury in Pisces and an inconjunct from Venus in … Continue reading →

titanticHere is a Jupiter in Sagittarius question regarding your beliefs. Carielle wrote about a series of traumatic events during a Pluto transit and wound up with this:

“…and have gotten better, which is probably a good thing, as people were starting to ask me what I did to piss off God that badly.”

This was interesting because I was going to post on exactly this topic. The soldier feels he pissed off God quite severely at one time and he is now living a series of lives… many, many, many, many lives meant to teach him a lesson. We were talking about this more extensively this weekend and he said…

“I am here to tell you, that you just don’t want to go around pissing off God. For example, take the Titanic. That guy said, God couldn’t even sink…
