Impulse and Lord of the Underworld

Mars brings impulsive energy wherever he touches in a chart. Rash, headstrong, action orientated, fearless and a battle warrior. He is the natural ruler of the first house of self. He rules Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. Aries rules the head and resonates to "me, me, me".

Pluto is power and control. Wherever the Lord of the Underworld is lording, powerful forces are at work that revenge, regenerate, resurrect and reincarnate. Pluto is the natural ruler of the 8th house of birth, death, sex, psychology and other's money. He rules Scorpio, the 8th sign of the Zodiac. Scorpio rules the reproductive organs and resonates to "I know".

Mars is the courage to battle demons. Pluto is the demon. Working in harmony, these two planets energies ensure supreme victories. It is when these two energies are jarring that life altering, ultimately life affirming, situations can arise. The energy clash requires bravery to face the darkness of the underworld.

Whilst looking at my family's charts recently I noticed Mars was to conjunct my youngest grandson's natal Pluto in his 6th house. Knowing the potential of this aspect I investigated further. His natal Pluto is in opposition to his natal Mars in the 12th house. This aspect was about to be transit triggered. My grandson is 6 yrs old. The 6th/12th axis can relate to health and hospitals. With the Mars and Pluto interplay I could see potential for an accident.

Before allowing my protective, maternal instincts to take over, I looked to his mother's (my daughter) chart for confirmation. Low and behold Mars was making a direct hit to her natal Neptune in the 5th house at the same time. I interpreted this as Mars-male, impulsive action, activating her Neptune-psychic, hospital, water, gas, in the 5th house area of-children, fun, sport.

Right then time to ring and gently forewarn. Astrology is a great tool to empower. Not only does it give identification to energies potential. It gives time frames. Free will and destiny don't have to be opposite ends of the stick.

I received a phone call late last night. My daughter rang to tell me my grandson had split his head open at the shops earlier while climbing a trolley barrier and falling back onto metal floor tracks. Typical Mars. My daughter was in the process of saying "stop, get down or you'll fall and crack your head." when it happened. My daughter said she could see it actually happening in her head right before it did. Classic Neptune. She rushed over and held him and willed him to open his eyes or scream out as he was just lying still (Pluto, fear, death). Then her hand just filled with blood (Mars) and her clothes were soaked in it. He began to cry and she said she had felt she was in a bubble with only herself and her son. The crowd and pandemonium had a far away feel.( Neptune and I believe Spiritual protection). My grandson was taken to hospital (12th house, Neptune), received stitches (Mars, Scorpio, Pluto), without anaesthetic (Neptune).

My daughter said there was nothing she could have done. She had been watching her son so carefully during my time frame warning. They had witnessed two car accidents right near them and she had prevented him from playing in his tree house before gale force winds suddenly came through. This accident was split second, inside, right next to her, while she was being served.

Destiny and free will combined. Let me explain. The planetary energies were going to play out. This was predetermined before birth. A destiny or Karma exchange was inherent at this time. The means to attaining the life lesson or soul directive was immaterial. The deeper imprint was the goal. The high road or the low road is choice. To listen to our instincts, conscience, common sense or inner calling is choice. To notice signs, omens, symbolism or life currents is choice. I can surmise the soul imprint for my daughter, grandson, older sibling who witnessed and even the supporting cast members of the public and shop staff, medical personal etc. All who had a small or large part to partake of the energy. Either to give or receive their own karma. But that would be arrogant of me as I have already played my part and received my lesson/gift. Also a soul's journey is deeply personal and individual. The Higher Universal Energy/ Goddess/God etc is beyond mortal complete comprehension as it is ALL. The ripples of destiny go wider and deeper, through many incarnations, than I could possibly fathom at this point of my evolution. Also words cannot completely convey Spiritual insight and communication. I believe my daughter's conscious free will may have offset other potential outcomes, thereby negating more sinister/dangerous/life threatening outcomes. Beliefs and thoughts really do create our reality in this dimension.

Shadow Boxer

Mars is the warrior planet. Heat, passion and action are the traits associated with the red planet of impulse. When the Mars energy goes into battle through a 12th house transit our karmic and unconscious fights ensue.

The 12th house is the house of the unseen. It is a deeply Spiritual part of the birth chart. Retreats, seclusion, institutions, anonymity, secrets and sacrifice are the shadows that dwell there. All that is imprinted on your soul from before this incarnation swim around in the unconsciousness of the 12th house. It is the house of self undoing and secret foes because of our own illusions, delusions & karmic debt.

Mars transit of the 12th house is a challenging time. The planet and house are not comfortable together. Mars takes approx. 2 years to transit a chart so will spend approx. 2months in a house. Patience with a challenging transit is definitely not one of Mars's strong suits.

Mars is at the start of my 12th house transit. Basically it will be about fighting my hidden fears. I currently have Saturn, the heavy duty task master, in transit through my 12th house also. Saturn has been plodding through here for over 2 years and not due to leave any time soon. I am about to put my hard earned lessons to the test. But wait there's more. I also have my Natal Neptune in its house of rulership in the 12th. Neptune makes hard natal aspects to Saturn, Venus and my MC/IC axis. Then there is my natal Moon conjunct the Ascendant from the 12th house who makes hard aspects natally to Uranus and Pluto.

I see Mars as the trailblazer who will ignite my hard natal aspects, overtaking Saturn and burning with courage and energy to clear a pathway through. My dreams may become my torches to guide and light my way. My Spiritual faith may fire up my soul with courage. Strategic actions behind the scenes may slay my dragons. Acting on our out my fears may burn me. Impulsively embracing shady deals or characters, pie in the sky dreams or occult dabbling without armour could inflame delusions and harm me mentally and or physically. Acting on my psychic intuitions will be my battle weapon.

Working hard in solitude, planting the seeds in the womb of the unseen for the time Mars crosses over into my 1st house will be using this transit in a positive way.

I am foreseeing dealings with hospitals (12th house) medications/anaesthetics/(Neptune) accident, injury or surgery/surgeon (Mars), parents (MC/IC axis), bones, knees, restriction, responsibility (Saturn), family, fluid, emotion (Moon) unexpected, restructuring(Uranus & Pluto).

Of course deeper issues for me will be brought up by any occurences that involve the above themes. Loneliness, isolation, dependence, restructuring of responsibility etc will require inner Spiritual faith to battle on.

Chiron Return at age 50

I am currently undergoing my Chiron return. I am in the last stages of this transit. Chiron is known as the "wounded healer". Chiron is now in the sign of Pisces. It takes aprox. 50 yrs for a Chiron cycle.

In my natal chart Chiron is in the 4th house. This is the base house. The house of foundation and ancestral roots. My wound and potential to heal is within this part of my psyche. The part that houses family, home, the past and my inner security base.

The Chiron return will bring back the deep wound that we were born into. It shows us where we have healed ourselves and what is still raw. We have had approx. 50 yrs to work on our wound. It is a chance, painful in differing degrees for each of our individual journeys, to play catch up quick smart or languish in the regrets and broken systems we have created to cope, during our final years. Whatever the deep wound, it cannot be totally healed but at the highest outcome it can be positively managed and used to enlighten others' journeys. Thus lifting our own healing.

For me it has been a wake up call regarding owning my own home and land, the 4th house quintessential symbolism. My work, striving and ambition during this life has been towards having a place in the world that was mine. Where I could feel secure and be under no one's reign. This harks back to my natal Moon (natural ruler of the 4th house) in the independent sign of Sagittarius conjunct (joined tightly to) my Ascendant (my persona) and square (the challenge angle) to Uranus (planet of individualism and rebellion and natal ruler of my 4th house) AND Pluto (planet of power & control). My ancestors made a priority to have their own homes. My mother's paternal line even have a town named after them. They owned much of the land and were renown ship builders. They used the land to log the timber to build their ships. They built their homes, shops, church, school and even a race track! My father's father built his own home after being evicted in his 50's. His brother was a builder by trade and all the relations would get together on the weekends to help build the house by the river, even my Grandmother would work side by side the men. The day they were to finally move in, my Grandmother died, never realising her dream to live in her own home. My parents struggled for many decades to own their own home outright. They have lived in the same house for 50 yrs. This is my 4th house ancestral legacy.

I have rented while raising my children as a single mum. When I married at 30 I had saved enough through working, to help buy a rundown house out in the sticks which we did up and sold. It seems I have a knack for design and renovation. We then bought another rundown house nearer to the coast and did it up. I had also signed the tenancy of the house I had rented for 10yrs over to my now single mum daughter so she would have a secure home, which she is still in 7yrs later. I had given my husband a home when we first met as he had nowhere to live. I have given my cousin a home for the past few years and a caravan as he too has been homeless. I have offered to build accommodation on my land for my sister and her 3 children in the past when she was homeless. When I divorced I brought another rundown small property on a very scenic large block of land in the bush, with the small settlement I got, and have been doing it up also. But with my Chiron Return something happened.

I have had to face that owning my own home & land outright hasn't brought me the healing I need. I've had to come to terms with what I am truly longing for. Yes it is inner security and my own place in the world where I can be free & creative. But without family, friends or a relationship nearby, it is lonely. Ownership is false security. Allowing someone to live with you because you are lonely is a control trip waiting to happen. I have been in a situation over the past year where I've had to face being isolated, lonely & at risk. My health has suffered and was a wake up call in Nov.2013 to radically shift my focus. All from trying to have security through having my own land. Yes I can own my own home, I can live on my own in isolation, I can face & survive my deep fears and dangerous situations to do so. But my healing began when I broke down & admitted I didn't want to anymore. It has been a year of retreat & seclusion, of inner work and private growth. It has been scary, depressing and dark. I have the wound exposed now by Chiron and I am doing what I can to heal myself. I have just sold the house and am trying to move closer to family and the ocean. This means giving up the idea of owning my own land but I have found inside what I truly want to feel secure and I am going for it. Family, good friends and good health are the foundations I need to build from. My ancestors were clannish and ocean people. I hope to heal through planting my roots in a more enlightened mindset so I can truly LIVE the remainder of my life.





confirmation of predicted outcome of Saturn transit 2012 blog

Back in 2012 I wrote about the transit of Saturn through my 12th house from Oct.2013 until mid 2014. I made mention of a restricting time possible for my father. On Dec 26th 2013I took my father to be admitted to hospital in a great deal of pain. He has been undergoing tests since discharge as it has been a hard to diagnose condition, with further screening required now for suspected cancer polyps.

Also during that blog entry I mentioned my daughter would experience a sad experience regarding an older male around that same time. She did. Her partner's Grandfather passed away 2 days before Christmas, necessitating a hurried trip back o/s where they had just returned from throwing a surprise birthday celebration for the gentleman.
