Weekly Weather April 4, 2011

We have a once in 164 year event taking place this week as Neptune, the planet of our dreams, illusions, delusions and what we worship enters ethereal and dreamy Pisces. Neptune has a 15 year journey through the last sign of the zodiac, the very end of things. He love, love, loves being in the sign of his ruler, the deep wide and wild ocean that connects and swirls around all of us and the continents we live on. Fully ¨ú of the earth¡¯s surface is water ~ Neptune¡¯s realm. We humans are not 100% comfortable in the ocean, becoming part of the food chain and unable to breath or survive for long adrift without support. And yet, we are called, again and again, to gaze at waves crashing on to shores around the world, lulled to sleep by the sounds of repetitive water fluctuating twice a day: high tide, low tide, high tide, low tide as the Moon pulls on us as well as the ocean nearest to her. We are enlivened by walking near the ions of the ocean¡¯s spray. We evolved from organisms that emerged from the sea thousands of years ago. Our bodies are .9% saline compared to the ocean¡¯s salinity of about 3.5% making it a source of detoxification and clarification for us.

Neptune is the last of the six outer planets changing signs in a very short period of about two years. Now all the planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are each in their new positions and ready for us to go forward. Four of the planets are in Cardinal action taking signs, on the Anima Mundi or World chart¡¯s angles ~ talking to each other, fighting with each other, stimulating each other, pushing each other to step up to the life before them.

Jupiter and Uranus in Aries ask us to change our actions, to declare our ¡°I AM¡± energy and act upon it. Saturn in Libra, our ¡°I BALANCE¡± energy opposite to Jupiter and Uranus, asks us how we want to structure, balance, relate and partner with our selves and others to create our life. Pluto in Capricorn, our ¡°I USE¡± energy, above the three of them and square to them, challenges Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn to step forward, take action, create and, perhaps MOST importantly. BE RESPONSIBLE for the actions and the choices made. Pluto pushes us, through these planets, to delve deeply and take action to use or work with the life we have to the best of our ¡°given ability¡± ~ or as we astrologers like to say our ¡°natal potential¡±.

Natal Potential ~ such an interesting turn of phrase. Our charts describe what we, deep in our hearts, want to do with our lives ~ our Natal Potential. Of course, WHAT we DO with our Natal Potential is up to us!

Sitting on my bright red desk, I have a paper weight that my mother¡¯s best friend, Bernadine, gave me in June 1975 when I was in college and angsting after I inadvertently managed to earn a 3.9 that semester while being incredibly busy socially and not paying attention to my grades. I showed up, did the work and left. Suddenly I had a 3.9. Terror struck my heart. My fear of success confronted me in the forms of too many ¡°A¡±s. I was mildly hysterical, tears flowing from my eyes. Now I would have to earn 3.9s for the rest of my life¡¦. Fear, anxiety, oh mys plus lots and lots of tears. Virgo¡¯s obsession with ongoing perfection ~ my Aquarian rising solution was to NOT be perfect ~ reared its ugly head.

Bernie¡¯s paper weight reads:

What You Are Is God¡¯s Gift To You.

What You Make Of Yourself

Is Your Gift To God.

But we forget¡¦

My brilliant, creative friend Llorraine often says to me in her soft, inviting and sibilant voice when I am angsting about some issue in an overly Virgo way~ ¡°Who are you to spit in the eye of Divine and NOT be all you can be?¡±

But we forget¡¦

I teach my students that if you see it three times in a chart, you are looking at something the person is here to do. The soul of the person is there in their chart. Their path, their destiny, their natal potential ~ all wrapped up in their dreams ~ tucked into the beauty of their chart. If it is in your heart, it is in your chart.

But we forget¡¦.

When I talk to a client about their dreams, hopes or hear their fears, I often ask them if their dream includes something NOT in their chart. They always say ¡°No, that is not my dream.¡± And I say, ¡°Yes, it is NOT in your chart. BUT your DREAM IS IN YOUR CHART! Your DREAM is part of your Natal Potential!¡±

But we forget¡¦.

Neptune moving into the sign of dreams joining Chiron already there in Pisces, is entering our ¡°I BELIEVE¡± energy. Neptune and Chiron ask us to dust off our dreams and believe in them again. Look at your dreams. See which dreams are still important to you. Some of your dreams may not be important any more. Some of your dreams may have come true or been created. Some of your dreams may not have been given a chance to dance yet through your life. Or perhaps some dream destroyer told you your dream could not happen so you put your dream away. Take your dreams out and look them again.

We forget¡¦. We need to remember.

The planets are conspiring to get us to move toward our dreams. Our new dreams. Our unrealized dreams. The dreams we didn¡¯t even know we had in our hearts. When soul of the person is activated by so much planetary activity, we can¡¯t help but want to dance with our dreams again.

So much of what I¡¯ve been hearing lately involves blaming the other person FOR NOT. Or blaming themselves FOR NOT.

FOR NOT is so close to FOR GET

It is your personal obligation to make of yourself your gift to your soul, your gift to God. Who are you to spit in the eye of Divine and not be all you can be? Skip FOR NOT. Say instead you FOR GOT. And go back and pick up your dream again. Go get it. You are still alive. It is never too late.

It is not your mother¡¯s fault. Or your father¡¯s fault. Or your sibling¡¯s fault. Or your spouse or partner¡¯s fault. Or your kid¡¯s fault. Or your grandparent¡¯s fault. Or your bosses¡¯ fault. Or even YOUR fault. It is YOUR life. Say you FOR GOT and go back to get it. NO blaming. Just get on with your life.

I find if I get out of my own way, book it and just show up, it seems to work for me. If I worry about it, I get all crazy and neurotic. If I am busy, I forget to be a Virgo and don¡¯t have time to worry. I show up. Kind of like I did way back in 1975, completely inadvertently, when I was so busy I didn¡¯t have time to pay attention and be afraid. That works for me. There is something that works for you too. Find it in your chart. Find it in your Saturn. Don¡¯t forget. Let go of your for nots. Just for today. Connect to your ¡°I believe¡± energy, act with your ¡°I am¡± energy, seek out your ¡°I balance¡± energy and harness your ¡°I use¡± energy. Your soul is waiting¡¦ Your dreams are waiting¡¦

Don¡¯t forget¡¦.

Pluto stations all week at 7:30 Capricorn, turning back retrograde to get what he forgot on February 23, May 24 and December 19, 2010. The stories from those times revisit you this week he sextiles Venus in Pisces. Venus asks Pluto to PLEASE let her have her dreams¡¦ Mercury moves retrograde and pushes Venus to ask Pluto one more time. Ask again. Dust off that dream.

The rest of the heavens in fire ~ Uranus, Mars, Lillith, Sun, Jupiter, Moon and Mercury all harness the ¡°I AM¡± energy of Aries and talk to Saturn to enlist the ¡°I BALANCE energy of Libra. Instead of wasting time on the FOR NOTs send all that Fire energy forward to start things, seed things, plan things, and come up with ideas of what needs to take place for your dreams to come true.

What You Are Is God¡¯s Gift To You.

What You Make Of Yourself

Is Your Gift To God.

Monday Moon¡¯s Day April 4 Moon is void in Aries until 7:46 pm making it a great day for clearing the piles of junk from your life. And doing the mindless tasks that need to be done from time to time. No initiating new things today as the Void Moon makes nothing come of it. Venus trines Poseidon so feeling are high and deeply emotional. Swamp issues arise seemingly from nowhere to engulf you and make you feel back in the emotions of fall. Clear them out of your being. Ceres trines Kronos suggesting old ways of creating are good ~ simple solutions to help solve problems often work with this aspect. Great day for making babies and creative movement on projects from the dream perspective. The Moon invites you to sit down and plan, big picture, as she moves through Aries. Of course, you will totally have to change the plan 20 times but get the scheme down. Neptune enters Pisces at 9:36 am EDT offering us a chance to work with our dreams again. Dust those dreams of your off. Shake out the cobwebs. Clear them out and look at them. Tattered a bit? Shabby looking? Need a touch of silver polish? Spend some time with them to see if you still want those dreams to come true. Strange infections abound today ~ the spring cold seems to be every where ~ partner with some extra vitamin C. Give yourself a liver cleanse or juice fast or extra sleep to help it move out of your system faster. Mercury sees a solutions to an old pattern or problem. Notice how it seems to be through multiple layers in your life and your being. Often we ¡°solve¡± a problem by determining NEVER to do it ~ we overcompensate ~ and thus create in our lives the exact opposite of what we actually want. Relax into your dream. See where you¡¯ve overcompensated. See where you forgot your dream. Let your dream talk to you. Let it whisper a plan into your ear so your dream can come true. Sun speaks to Neptune in his new sign ~ wow! How easy it is to retrieve and see the dream when we give it a chance to talk to us. Venus sesquiquadrates her husband Vulcanus ~ sometimes, like Venus did, we get caught doing what we should not be doing. We forget. We can get caught today. This story of Mars and Venus Caught in a Net comes from a public domain, old translation, by Samuel Butler, of Homer's Odyssey VIII ll. 266-369.

Meanwhile the bard began to sing the loves of Mars and Venus, and how they first began their intrigue in the house of Vulcan. Mars made Venus many presents, and defiled King Vulcan's marriage bed, so the Sun, who saw what they were about, told Vulcan. Vulcan was very angry when he heard such dreadful news, so he went to his smithy brooding mischief, got his great anvil into its place, and began to forge some chains which none could either unloose or break, so that they might stay there in that place. When he had finished his snare he went into his bedroom and festooned the bed-posts all over with chains like cobwebs; he also let many hang down from the great beam of the ceiling. Not even a god could see them, so fine and subtle were they. As soon as he had spread the chains all over the bed, he made as though he were setting out for the fair state of Lemnos, which of all places in the world was the one he was most fond of. But Mars kept no blind look out, and as soon as he saw him start, hurried off to his house, burning with love for Venus.

Now Venus was just come in from a visit to her father Jove, and was about sitting down when Mars came inside the house, an said as he took her hand in his own, "Let us go to the couch of Vulcan: he is not at home, but is gone off to Lemnos."

She was nothing loath, so they went to the couch to take their rest, whereon they were caught in the toils which cunning Vulcan had spread for them, and could neither get up nor stir hand or foot, but found too late that they were in a trap. Then Vulcan came up to them, for he had turned back before reaching Lemnos, when his scout the Sun told him what was going on. He was in a furious passion, and stood in the vestibule making a dreadful noise as he shouted to all the gods.

"Father Jove," he cried, "and all you other blessed gods who live for ever, come here and see the ridiculous and disgraceful sight that I will show you. Jove's daughter Venus is always dishonoring me because I am lame. She is in love with Mars, who is handsome and clean built, whereas I am a cripple- but my parents are to blame for that, not I; they ought never to have begotten me. Come and see the pair together asleep on my bed. It makes me furious to look at them. They are very fond of one another, but I do not think they will lie there longer than they can help, nor do I think that they will sleep much; there, however, they shall stay till her father has repaid me the sum I gave him for his baggage of a daughter, who is fair but not honest."

On this the gods gathered to the house of Vulcan. Earth-encircling Neptune came, and Mercury the bringer of luck, and King Apollo, but the goddesses stayed at home all of them for shame. Then the givers of all good things stood in the doorway, and the blessed gods roared with inextinguishable laughter, as they saw how cunning Vulcan had been, whereon one would turn towards his neighbor saying:

"Ill deeds do not prosper, and the weak confound the strong. See how limping Vulcan, lame as he is, has caught Mars who is the fleetest god in heaven; and now Mars will be cast in heavy damages."

Thus did they converse, but King Apollo said to Mercury, "Messenger Mercury, giver of good things, you would not care how strong the chains were, would you, if you could sleep with Venus?"

"King Apollo," answered Mercury, "I only wish I might get the chance, though there were three times as many chains- and you might look on, all of you, gods and goddesses, but would sleep with her if I could."

The immortal gods burst out laughing as they heard him, but Neptune took it all seriously, and kept on imploring Vulcan to set Mars free again. "Let him go," he cried, "and I will undertake, as you require, that he shall pay you all the damages that are held reasonable among the immortal gods."

"Do not," replied Vulcan, "ask me to do this; a bad man's bond is bad security; what remedy could I enforce against you if Mars should go away and leave his debts behind him along with his chains?"

"Vulcan," said Neptune, "if Mars goes away without paying his damages, I will pay you myself." So Vulcan answered, "In this case I cannot and must not refuse you."

Thereon he loosed the bonds that bound them, and as soon as they were free they scampered off, Mars to Thrace and laughter-loving Venus to Cyprus and to Paphos, where is her grove and her altar fragrant with burnt offerings.

Is it me or is she hard to follow sometimes? The messages are muddled & really make no sense to me.
