Nebulous Neptune

 The outer planet Neptune is back home in its sign of rulership, Pisces, for the first time in 164 years. So what you may be thinking. As an outer planet it has influence over the population and world at large. For individuals this plays out in a general attitude globally. If you have Neptune connected or anchored in a personal way in your birth chart, you will be personally effected and involved in the influence. An astrologer can determine this for you.

Neptune rules water. Pisces is a water sign. Neptune governs spirituality, not religious dogma. It is ethereal and boundless. Mists, vapours, anaesthetics, dreams, illusions, confusion and delusions, visions and escapism all fall under the Neptune spell. So do addictions, victimisation and martyrdom, sacrifice, chemicals, alcohol and illegal drugs. Boats, fish, oceans, waterways and oil are also under its rulership. Charitable, artistic and psychic ability are also connected to Neptune.

Neptune rules the 12th house. This is the realm of seclusion, isolation, institutions, illness and hospitalisation, anonymous and faceless organisations, secrets, meditation, self undoing and behind the scenes situations.

Neptune will take approximately 15years to traverse a sign. It is a slow moving planet. Therefore if it triggers a point or planet in your natal chart it will have more than just the general populace's effect.

At the present time Neptune is floating around 2 and 3 degrees Pisces. So any personal planets or points at these degrees will get the Neptune energy.

You may notice in the global news chemical warfare, carbon emissions, charitable causes eg refugee plights, pharmaceuticals, drug stories, secret deals etc are part of our global consciousness now.

Cruises, fishing shows, psychic shows, nurses and prisoners, magic illusion shows etc are popular now.

As an example of Neptune energy being personalised I'll use my chart. I am a Sun Pisces with my natal Moon and Neptune in the 12th house. So I am very familiar with the Neptune energy.

Currently Neptune is square to my natal Moon at 2 degrees in the 12th house, as stated previously. A square is a harsh aspect in astrology. The last time I had a harsh aspect from Neptune to my Moon was in 1971/72 when I was 8 & 9 yrs old. At this time I was very ill with a hard to diagnose illness. I lost 3 months from school and was rendered isolated from members of my family and friends. The doctor said I was a baffle to medical science. I would do my school work in isolation, I taught myself to play a bit on the guitar, I read a lot of books and drew. I ended up having Scarlet Fever & Glandular Fever together. I spent a lot of time between the 2 worlds of reality and Spirituality. I lived a lot in my imagination.

So it can be seen in this example that the 12th house theme of isolation and illness combined with the Neptune theme of Spirituality, artistic pursuits and confusion. The harsh aspect brought the need for action to overcome the Neptune challenges.

This time, the harsh aspect from Neptune is being made from my 4th house to my 12th house Moon. The 4th house is home, family roots, the past, ancestors, foundations and the land. Illusions and isolation are challenging me emotionally and physically in renovating my new home. Family members and my past are hindering the process. I am actively seeking help from professionals to heal myself and I am supporting the health of others also. Relying on my Spiritual beliefs and guidance is a positive use of this energy. Addictions of others is a big part of my obstacles at this time.

Moon Square Pluto...or....hereditary subconscious rebirthing

In astrology a square aspect is a 90 degree angle between a planet or point in the chart. It is considered a "hard" aspect. Meaning the energy portended is abrasive and challenging. Usually it is an impetus to action.

The Moon is significant in astrology for many reasons. For this topic, it is symbolic of the maternal nurturing we receive, the subconscious and the past. This Luminary is female energy.

Pluto is the planet of rebirth, regeneration, the underworld, life and death, resurrection and intense power.

This combination is often described as the "devouring mother". It is seen as a mother complex in the natal chart. The maternal influence in early life that micro managed and controlled the child. This perceived, all consuming powerful mother figure, deeply ingrained emotional survival or emotional death in the developing child's psyche.

So it can be seen as a primitive emotional drive, that would be compulsively tuned to annihilating any intuited control challenge to one's emotions. Obviously this can bring pitfalls and catastrophes in its inherent extremism.

Some of the preferred tactics of this astrological aspect are devious manipulation, completely freezing out others emotionally, obsessive compulsive behaviours to control their environment, frightening and violent displays of emotion, ruthless emotional revenge and/or repeating early environmental conditioning in an attempt at mastering the self, via repeated abusive relationships or sub consciously seeking dangerous situations. The need to heal and regenerate emotionally is an all consuming soul drive. The deepness of which goes beyond the native's individual life. It can be seen as a theme of the past and future. This brings me to the next part of my topic. Family astrology patterning.

I will use my family and the Moon/Pluto theme as an example.

I have my natal Moon square Pluto. My 2 sons have Moon square Pluto. My eldest child, my daughter, has a Moon /Pluto aspect, a sextile, which is a more positive action aspect of these energies. My only sibling, my sister, has Moon in Scorpio, Pluto is Scorpio's planetary ruler. So you can see from this that there is a definite generational connection in my family with the Moon/Pluto astrology energy. My sister is a Sun sign Cancer, the Moon rules Cancer. I have the Moon conjunct the Ascendant from the 12th house, which gives the Moon a very prominent placing in my natal chart. My daughter has the Moon in the first house of the self and identity. My youngest son has the Moon in its house of rulership, the fourth house. Again another prominent placing for the Moon.

Now looking deeper and analysing this example, we can see both my sister and I carry emotional intensity from our maternal nurturing in childhood. Our mother was overprotective, strict, domineering with an inability for emotional warmth. But it goes deeper than that. Typically Pluto like. Our Mother was made into this way and needed to be this way. She instinctively and subconsciously had to survive many traumas. She also needed to protect her children from traumas. Traumas that were in her past, in the present and in my mother's perceived reality of the future. Thus creating that future for her daughters in their need to rework the Moon/Pluto legacy of their upbringing. A projected prophecy. So typically Plutonian, regeneration and rebirth through redoing.

I then draw traumas and intensity into my experiences with the inherent need to master the emotional healing challenge to rebirth my emotions into a powerfully healing energy. Needless to say the process is fraught with damage and dramas of the dark and dire description. Yet my emotional power slowly emerges into my conscious awareness. It is by nature and design an ongoing "re" birthing process. Suffice to say one that no doubt will transpire of many incarnations. Again a Pluto principle.

Interestingly, my daughter has the morphed Moon/Pluto energy that is less negatively jarring. My daughter has perceived her major maternal influence, me, as powerful but with positive ability. This has been internalised by her as a positive emotional use. Remembering the Moon is female energy, representing the mother, so is more easily identified with by my daughter.

On the other hand, my sons have the square aspect. They perceived me as powerfully protective and fearful. I was seen as the opposite sex parent who could just as easily give life or death. Begin or end their world. I had to do battle for their lives and my own, with fearful men and circumstances. As I did with my daughter too. That was seen as empowering for my daughter's identification but disempowering for my sons'. Maybe my sons are to carry the torch now for the astrology alchemy of the Moon/Pluto energy for positive transformation in the male gender incarnations. Thus elevating the future family generational Moon/Pluto hereditary for all our future family line.

As a Moon/Pluto mum I know how to love my children from the depths of my soul and beyond lifetimes. Yes that can be very intense for a child. But as my sons both have wonderful Moon/Jupiter aspects also, which show they feel loved and emotionally secure through their maternal nurturing, I have full faith and confidence they will take the Pluto challenges instilled to rebirth into positive healers of self and others.

Solar Eclipse

The Solar eclipse which occurred on May 10th in Taurus has activated my 6th/12th axis of my natal chart. This is the sub concious, spiritual, health and service axis. A Solar eclipse is a new beginning that is being fast tracked by the cosmos to get us back with the programme. A Solar eclipse is a New Moon amplified. So from dallying about in the shadows and not quite seeing the light of day, an issue from the areas of the 12th & 6th houses was set to blast into my awareness. Astrologers look to the week before or after the eclipse for the energy to surface. My wake up call occurred on the eclipse and has been illuminated during the past week. Yes a diagnosis that I have not allowed myself to accept, was brought to me via a professional at the eclipse. This was in the medical field of psychology. It is as if suddenly a light (the Sun) has illuminated my sub concious (the Moon) and has shown me that in my day to day  (6th house) routines I have been reacting via hidden (12th house) memories (the Moon) and trauma secrets (12th house). My healing (6th house/12th house axis) has now been put on a better track (Solar eclipse energy).

Naturally this presents me with questions regarding my psychic and channelling abilities as opposed to my mental health disabilities. Also brought into question is the influence of estoric beliefs and mental health. Yet I can see no discrepency between  ability for higher channelling or sensitive brain functioning , with mental health dysfunction. Just as I can see no discrepency between works of art and depressives or scientists and Aspergers etc. What may be on the spectrum for a disability diagnosis may also be the flip side to a talented gift as well. There is a lot for me to ponder and reconcile into my belief system at present. Thankyou Spirit. I trust my shaman's message from 2008. "The journey has now begun." What a journey these past almost 5 years have been.

Mediumship

I was allowed by Spirit to once again channel. I am rejoicing in knowing my channelling ability has been returned to me. My healing must be on track and my vibration heightened enough to receive Spirit guided connections. My vibration has been bombarded with heavy astral negatives for the past few years. I was shut down for my own healing journey. I was aware of this and thankful for Spirit in allowing me this protection.

A few days ago I gave an impromptu reading to my Son's partner. I used my oracle cards. It was amongst a happy, sunny, outdoor loving get together, where we were all filled with family joy. Really, just how appropriate. I then got a familiar urge to tune out. I knew this is when Spirit brings something to me if I just drift. Then in she came. I described to my Son's partner who I was seeing. When I channel someone who has passed over, I "see" them, either transfiguring the face of their living connection or just to the side of them. Sometimes I will be given impressions in my mindseye of a scene or symbols. I might feel feelings from them or think thoughts from them. It is rare for me to "hear" in my ears from them. Although music and scents seem to come to me.

 I was given confirmation of my description. It transpired that during the week my son (who is also highly attuned to Spirit) commented to his partner that there was a "ghost" in the house after some disturbances. I was also told that the Aunt of the loved one in Spirit had a strange occurance that week that was indicative of this particular loved one, as did my Son's partner on a seperate occasion that week. My son had also met the loved one before she passed. She showed herself to be happy and clearly wanted to pass on that she is still with the the family. I am honoured to be able to channel and be the messenger to bring some healing and peace to living souls.

It is just amazing how Spirit works. Spirit allowed me to channel in a way that was uplifting and instructional for all those involved. Peace to the loved ones, confirmation for my Spiritual journey & lessons, confirmation and Spiritual lesson for my Son's channelling awareness and left no doubt in any of our minds as to the authenticity of the experience.

Serendipity or the Baader Meinhoff effect?

Following on from my previous post about past lives, I'd like to share a small series of events to give an insight into how Spirit brings me lessons and rewards once I've learnt and acknowledged. I flicked through the TV which I don't usually spend a lot of time watching. A doco about the little known, ancient Indian tribe of Sth America called the Muisca began. This reminded me of my recent past life vision. It was airing at the time I regularly call my son. So this then prompted me to recall to my son my most recent past life vision. This converstaion then led to my son and I discussing the "time" philosophy, of which there is no time as it is a man made concept. We are living the past, present and future simultaneaously. Broadening into- we may either be alive now and viewing our past as the present or dead now and viewing our future etc. Well then after I hang up, immediately a show begins on the TV about time. Basically the physicist began expounding on the conversation my son and I just had. My Spirit Guide was reinforcing my learning and also directing me to teach through my lessons, my youngest son. Ironically who will be 17yrs old this year.(read previous post for connection). So now that I am fullly accepting and deeply loving my renewed awareness of my Shaman/Guide, I was unexpectedly rewarded on the mundane level by an unexpected payment for a reading I had done last year. It is as if I was being shown that I can now accept  that my channel and gifts are opening again and I have come through the latest life challenges on a Spiritual level. Blessed be, Love & Light, Namaste & God be with you.

Past Lives and Confirmation

I get so excited when this happens for me. At Christmas I had a dream, one that I knew was one of the prophetic or Spirit type dreams that I have. This is where the dream sequence is very vibrant in visual content and just has a more "real" feel to it on a deep instinctual level for me.There always seems to be a prescence next to me, whom I can't see just sense, who seems to guide my experience throughout the dream.Obviously it's my Guide or Higher self. During this dream I was in Massachusettes  US in the 1700s. I was shown distictive building architecture, an apple tree, a woman near a church in period clothing who was a teacher, I hid under a 2nd story window and was abused by a French man who was a King. It was so vivid and throughout the dream I had such an elated and happy feeling. Even running through the marketplace from the angry French man, I  was laughing. The woman I was shown was also pretty and smiling. I was also shown a body of water and a green field. Every detail was clear and crisp. When I woke I told my teenage son about the dream. We decided to research some of the details on the internet. I have never been to the US or had much of an interest in its history or geography. I am definitely no French historian either. So imagine my delight and awe at finding out that apples are a main historical feature of the region, a French king was once exiled and spent time in the city, in a 2nd story room, teaching Frnsh to female students! The buildings I saw are a feature of that city and time frame, also the water is a geographical feature. The period clothes of the woman were also the fashion for that period. Awesome! It was only after I described my experience to another psychic/medium friend that she reminded me of the witch hunts of that period also. Duh Linda! Although I was not shown anything of that nature in my dream. I think I was given a past life  glimpse.

Last night I had a feeling of weakness , out of the blue, and had cause to lie down immediately.Whilst lying there and putting myself into a meditative state to alleviate any stress induced portion of the problem, I was almost immediately connected to my Mayan Sharman Spirit Guide whom I haven't been able to conciously connect to for quite a while,  due  to worldly lessons I have been undergoing. I was facing the  beautiful Sunset through my window and it is said that  Dawn and Dusk are when spirits walk. I was asking the Healers to work on my energies and began  my procedure for protecting and hightening my vibration .Immediately I was given  my vision. I was connected to the Sun pyramid and was somehow highly thought of as a warrior noble even though I was a female. I was sacrificed and the male that I was attached to was either my husband or father. I was told it was before Christ and was Aztec, the name Montezzuma, but I was told not really that name, and I was shown a warrior with a bow and arrow. My mind kept wanting to interject with "no Mayan- not Aztec", "Not bow and arrow  Indians", "Ra  is the Sun God in Egyption not Aztec beliefs"and"Warrior Princess is Zena not Aztec". Yet each quick thought was overidden spontaneaously through my Spirit Guide's influence and superior loving instructional dominance.So this morning I look up on the internet and discover that the Aztecs came after the Mayans. There was an Aztec ruler commonly known as Montezzuma but not his real name. He was depicted as an archer.There was a pyramid that was dedicated to the Sun in their city. They were warrior people and believed that among their many human sacrifieces some attained nobility of Spirit to become warrior Spirits. Age 17 was an important age to them and this is significant to my life and my childrens' as I have always said to my kids that 17 seems to be an important age for us and our independence! The Mayans were a very older and more gentle race and very evolved mathematically, scientifically and in healing. I was given another glimpse of a past life and this one brings me closer to my Mayan Sharman's Spirit. Spirit Warrior & Healer through Sacrifice of worldly attachments. That is my Spirit purpose.
Astrology (there's my Mayan influence again) shows my natal chart has the  fixed star Antares and Aldebaran on my Ascendant/Descendant axis. This is significant as they are 2 of the "Royal Stars" and Antares is Mars like in quality. The ancients taught that having a fixed star prominent at birth elevates the chart through that star's energy. Interestingly I have rebirthed with  a  noble warrior Spirit mythological star rising at my moment of birth, just as my ancient Aztec life believed would happen after I was sacrifieced.

Money & Promotion versus Spirituality

I have been contemplating the issue of "coin for craft".  Asking for payment for services rendered. Gift donations as opposed to set fees. Free consultations. This is something I have struggled with since reading professionally. Professional by definition is being paid. So where does that leave me and my beliefs on my services.

I don't have a problem in setting a fee for my astrology consultations. I think it is quite reasonable to expect renumeration for your craft and service. The ancients equated astrology as a profession, alongside medical, political and science based professions. You study, you hone, you sit examinations, you adhere to a code of conduct within your profession, it is measurable and demonstratable. I am also comfortable in promoting my astrology services. It is a craft, a talent and a passion. So far so good. No crisis of conscience.

So moving on to my psychic consultations. This is where I use my human abilities. Abilities we all possess and are under our choice and control as to whether or not we develop or use them. Again it can be a talent, motivated from a passion into a service. Just as our other recognised senses eg hearing can be used for musical use and eysight for reading and writing, so too, for example, clairvoyance for seeing visions not directly in the time and space present. How to measure and quantify this ability? By comparison, musical renumeration occurs once a service or product is produced. A song, a concert, an instrument etc. Psychic ability can also provide a service whether it is regarded as entertainment or as therapeutic. Promoting the psychic service as entertainment infers no liability for innacuracy. Promoting the psychic service as thereapeutic infers moral and legal obligation to provide for the client's wellbeing. That opens the doorway for legislation on par with the healing professions. As such there is no body overseeing this profession. So where does this leave me in regards to fees for my psychic services and my moral obligation to clients? Being that psychic ability is human ability, I can be justified in asking for respect for my time and effort. This can equate to money, goods or services exchanged or other prior arrangements.

You can be psychic and not Spiritual. You can be musical or a doctor and not Spiritual. Yet you cannot walk and work with Spirit and not be Spiritual. Money has no concept in Spirit. Money and time are man made concepts not recognised in Spirit. So to entwine man made concerns into Spirituality is not Spiritual. Spiritual messages and inspiration can be used for man made ideas and concepts such as art work, alternative healing modalities and environmental concerns. The time, money and service can apply to these inspired concerns but not to the Source. Therefore I will not accept coin for walking and working with Spirit. The folly of my ways has been adequately emphasised over my life. My channel has malfunctioned and heavy lessons brought to my vibration as a result of my vibration lowering into the fiscal mundane, albeit naively and not willfully.

I can speak with those in Spirit. I can mannifest healing through Spirit. I cannot accept credit for this as I am but the channel and as such I am gaining exchange Spiritually. The energygy/karma exchange is balanced. I do not need recognition. Spirit guides the exchange. I do not. Spirit can compel me to be somewhere, write something etc that in the big picture draws an encounter. Spirit can put me in seclusion until I have been healed. Which is happenning at present. It has also happenned other times in my life.

So why is this question occurring for me now? Out of the blue I was contacted by someone from my past recently, who began the journey for me. This is a good example of how Spirit works for me. In passing it was mentioned a classmate is now quite reknown as a psychic medium. TV and radio appearances, club and shopping centre promotions etc. This person is a lovely and compassionate person. A real people person and I have no doubt she is truly psychically developed. But the glitz, the glamour, the fame and the money is not the Spiritual way. Yes I had to question if my ego was speaking but I see Spirit allowed me this lesson to strengthen and straighten my beliefs. For whatever is in store in my new future I am obviously being required to know this and stand firm, finally, on this topic.

Yet again the astrology of my chart is in sync with my life lessons and direction. With healer and teacher Chiron and intellectual communicator Mercury conjunct my natal Mercury and Chiron at the bottom or life base of my chart, a transromative Pluto transit drawing to a close in my 2nd house of self worth and assets and heavy lessons Saturn dallying in my hidden 12th  house of Spirituality, it is no wonder I am undergoing rebooting.

Solar Return

With my Solar Return about to occur for 2013 I took a look to see what planetary influences will be effecting my new birthday year. It seems there is a stellium occurring in Pisces this year with Neptune, Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars & Mercury all gathering in the sign of the fish. So the heavenly snapshot for my birthday shows my solar return 3rd house & 4th house full of planets. They have grouped aound my IC, the lowest point of the chart and the mark of the end and beginning of the 3rd & 4th houses.

The 3rd house is the house of communication, intellect, learning, siblings and local travel. With its ruling planet  Mercury presenting in this house for me gives it even more prominence as the stellium aspect already highlights this house. So what can this mean for me. Mercury rules transport, writing, internet, commerce, ideas, reading, paperwork, teaching, studying, phone calls, neighbours, siblings, cousins, young people, neighbourhood and short journeys. So any or all of these matters can contribute to the theme of my year ahead.

I am already feeling the beginning of this influence. I have started to research and implement my business project. As Mercury is retrograde it is natural that my business project is one that I had previously begun but had to postpone. A retrograde Mercury is perfect for redoing and revising things. My project entails all the 3rd house concerns ie commerce and trade, making business contacts, internet research, design and writing, communication, local travel and transportation. With Neptune also placed in the 3rd, an element of New Age, glamour, psychic and confidentiality are also incorporate. With Venus, the planet of beauty and financial benefit and Mars, the planet of inniative and passion, sitting either side of the Sun, who represents my self expression and creativity, I have great stars for setting forth my project.

The 4th house is the house of family, the past, foundations and security. My project will be conducted from my home. This year will also see my home being the focus of renovations which are also my creation and will enhance my security and allow me to put down roots.

So we shall see how this year plays out with its advantages and challenges. Knowing the guidlines before hand can give me some insight inot navigating through the currents ahead.

the 4th house of Home, Family and the Past.

I have  recently emerged from a type of hibernation. Looking at things from an astrological viewpoint I see that all the planets, bar Saturn, are in transit  through the bottom half of my natal chart. With Saturn now firmly ensconced in my 12th house. The 12th house being the house of seclusion anyway, amongst other things. The bottom half of the natal chart is the private half. the half that is not on public display. So it is no wonder I have been a recluse and attending to my own private inner work. The nadir of the chart is the deepest inner point. All the planets (except Saturn) have now crossed that point for me. The nadir or IC is the cusp of the 4th house of home, roots and family.  Deep psychological insights that were rooted in my past have now emerged to be used to give me a more solid inner foundation. As well as a clear idea as to what is needed to make my home a solid foundation in the world. It has been dark and it has been lonely. but I have also been given help and support through the use of the different planetary energies that made aspects. I have now recently made connections with  a tradesman to begin on an important structural home project. I have also recently connected with a professional to help me  on a personal healing. I have recently laid the groundwork for 2 improved private family relationships that can have positive repercussions for my home life . I have Saturn natally in my 4th house also. So there was always the impetus towards restriction, authority, changes, delays, hard work, seriousness and depression in the areas of family, home and the past,whenever the 4th house became actvated.

Saturn transit through the 12th house

A Saturn transit is currently passing through my 12th house. As a Saturn cycle  takes approx. 29yrs, if I look back to that time in my life I can see a pattern.This is a transit that makes many hits to my chart. Saturn usually takes approx 2 and 1/2 years to move through a sign. But as my 12th house is 42 degrees in size it takes Saturn  longer than 2 and 1/2 years to pass through for me.
To feel the effects of Saturn moving through the  12th is to understand the 12th is the final house. It is the  house of the hidden and sub conscious. It is the house of endings, secrets, solitude, sacrifice and self undoing. Saturn is the taskmaster and time. Saturn is authority and Father. Saturn grounds and keeps it real. Saturn gives no short cuts or rewards for nothing. Saturn teaches patience and hard work.
Whenever a planet crosses a house cusp, aspects a natal planet, leaves a sign, moves into a new sign or aspects  natal points it facilitates an energy effect on the person's life. For me all the aforementioned contacts occur whilst Saturn crosses into my 12th house. So it  will be a life defining period for me.

Psychic Shyster

I had dealings with a self proclaimed psychic medium in Brisbane for a few years. This person was known to me through family connections. She had good intentions for the most part. This person also truly believed she was psychic and channelling. Some others believed she was also. Sometimes she was eerily able to pass on information or messages that could be taken as psychic or  mediumistic. Mostly she was vague and plainly wrong. Like the time she told a wife that her husband would not be going to prison after he killed people through a driving accident. She had even asked me to sit with her and help look at the outcome for this woman and her husband. While I relayed what my visions were she took notes in writing. At that time I described an adjournment as well as what the husband looked like and was wearing as well as the location. I also descibed little known accident facts. Unfortunately this person was ambitious enough to claim my psychic work as her own.  She added the outcome of being set free, to my visions when she spoke to the wife and husband.She had numerous readings with the couple . Always assuring the husband that he wouldn't be going to prison. The wife wasn't too keen on her readings as they seemed vague and the information was showing as not accurate. The psychic got the wife to ring me as a reinforcement because she was losing her reputation. The psychic was now saying "we" saw this and that. I told the wife it was I who saw the adjurnment and accident vision. Unfortunately I also saw bars when I focused on the court outcome before she rang me  that day. I also saw, through astrology, a very hard time for her husband in a few months time where depression may be a dangerous issue for him, along with a move for the wife. The husband did get a prison sentence and my other insights also came to pass. It is cruel and unprofessional to tell peple what they want to hear. I also accepted no coin for my time.
