Welcome to the start of Virgo Season

With Mars stationing direct shortly, a Pisces Full Moon, and Venus and Mercury passing through the same signatures for the last time this cycle, take a moment to breath. Outward action fades, and the battlefield turns inward. Note the events of this last cycle. How did your goals align with your actions? Did you charge ahead, the brave and brash firebrand along the path of life? Or did you wait, allowing observation and fortuitous timing to guide your actions?

Whichever it was, ask yourself “did this serve me in a way I’m comfortable with, and if not, what can change?”

Mars resuming motion will bring back the influence of the strategist, the warleader who fights as much with brains as with brawn, and in doing so asks that you know in your heart with every choice what you fight for.

Pisces offers a chance for rejuvenation, tidal currents washing the remnants of outdated patterns and detritus of past conditioning away. There are new ways of being that will open to you, if you can allow this release.

Virgo brings with it the structure of our lives, how we care for ourselves by our environments. The priestess urges you to recall that it is a process, constantly needing revision and effort. Room’s get messy, food isn’t always healthy, maybe you don’t fully quit smoking. The importance of the process is what she draws you to, allowing it without self reprisal. 

This is a potent gate to fall. The next time many of this years alignments will occur our grandchildren may be dead.

It’s time to live, without the shackles of the past.

(87) Are You A Day Or Night Person?

Both! I used to be a total night owl, but there are so many daytime activities that I enjoy now, so I’ve learned to embrace both ^‿^

I hope you have a lovely evening and thanks for asking! 

[murasaki-endou]

Hey! I was hoping for a tarot reading. Jesse, Libra, just wondering what the cards have to say. Thanks :)

Hey there Jesse! Thank you for your question, I love your blog and I’m happy to see you here :)

I have three cards for you: Queen of wands reverse, six of swords reverse and king of swords.

You should think about giving up on that thing you’ve been holding on for so long, consider looking for another path, maybe a new way of seeing things. It exists, and at that point you’ll have the confidence you need to achieve everything you desire.

Hope this speaks to you in some way, see you around!

June Reading Game

For the next month, there will be a piece of trivia posted here each day. The first person to successfully answer each days question will receive one free reading of their choice.

You can enter multiple times, but only once per day. Please tag your answers with "June Reading Challenge", and I will make sure to check daily and see who the lucky winner is.

When each days question has been answered, it will be posted as such, and the next days might even get up early!!

Question for June the 1st: What is the first rule of any game or con?

[thebrierpatch]

Short explanation of why I've been less vocal on here as of late

Short version: Life can prove challenging.

Longer version: I've been trying to live and work within abusive and unstable housing environments for much of the last few years. Much of the last has been hopscotching around the state as each home seemingly open for the landing turns into another nest of rabid wolverines (or something appropriately ridiculous and simultaneously terrifying). Between PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and the general exhaustion that comes with a chronic illness and taking the shoelace express, until recently I've barely had any gas in me to engage with people.

This last couple months have been the sticking point, as I came back "home" full of vigor and confidence, only to find the extremely unhealthy situation had degraded into full blown cesspit.

I'm getting out of there today, and I never intend to let myself feel trapped in another scenario like this. The wheel has brought me through all this shit, and I've made some kind of gold out of it. Finally happy with who I am, even as the journey to who I must become continues.

I still don't have a permanent spot locked in, but I can surf it for a bit, and if nothing else the forest provides. I intend to offer more original work, as being able to focus more inwardly will help finalize all these half done drafts. June's Tarot challenge will be reposted in updated form soon, and will have unanswered questions open for the next month.

In the meantime, I can guarantee a more stable internet connection in a few days. When that occurs, I will be offering more live video based appointments via Zoom. These will use Tarot, Evolutionary Astrology, and Soulshaping techniques. Soulsshaping is a term shamelessly borrowed from one of the most insightful teachers I've had the honor of meeting, intended to provide insight in overcoming reoccurring scenarios and patterns, allowing new synaptic patterns to be forged that provide for the souls ultimate growth by taking a deep and invested responsibility to your reality.

Sessions will be $25 for one half hour, and $40 per hour. All material is kept strictly confidential, and you will receive a recording of our session within 2 business days.

While that is manifesting, stay tuned for an old dogs dissenting opinion on the Neptune/Mars retrograde we all probably feel a little raw about still.

Thanks for the continued support. All of you on here who keep up with my stuff, you've made it easier to bear this process out.

Big Loves from this weatherblown wanderer

Pluto: The Cthonic Teacher 

Key Themes: Power/Disempowerment Dynamics, Intensity, Pain, Transmutation, Discernment, Sex Magick, Primordial Truth, Desire, Attraction and Fixation, Metamorphosis, The Dragon/Snake/Phoenix.

How attractive is spirit really, when it requires you to give up the life you know?

    The anchor point for our souls incarnation, Pluto symbolizes our deepest attachments. What keeps us coming back to this life are hard lessons, things we have a desire to transmute but have merged with deeply, and The King of the Deep utilizes our attachments as vehicles to achieve the souls desire through the fires of purification. He speaks to us through intensity and pain, through clearing the old to make room for the new, in the question that eats away at your psyche slowly in the dark of night “Why am I here?”.

    There are no victims in Plutonian Reality. We each carry a personal responsibility to our experience, and it is our decision to connect with and take ownership of our lives (or not) that makes them what they are, not circumstance, not the environment we live in, and certainly not karma.

   Pluto teaches that most things are temporary, that what comes into our lives will leave after the lesson, and like the snake shedding its skin we must adapt and shed the dead growth when our current paradigm does not fit the world we are stepping into, and that there is no way out but through. 

  If you follow him, layers of security will be flensed away, and while painful, under those wounds a bedrock of inner security will be revealed. He doesn’t do it to spite or hurt you, merely to move you forward when stagnation occurs. Like an old Uncle, he will whisper before he yells, and heeding his words will make the coming storm easier to weather.

  Change is a white hot flame. Even diamonds burn. The more you resist change, the hotter the flame gets.

 Make like Aladdin, and find the jewel at the center of the dark cave that is the truest, most “pure” you. It’s our only real job here.

Could really use some help

Hey all. I could really use some help. Gettin set to move here in the next couple weeks, deposit’s already down. My kitty needed some emergency meds in the last couple days, and the last paycheck I got was a bit light.

I’m only missing the $200 from the kitty fixers, and am pro-rating where I am, but the island is where I need to be. It’s home. Help me get there on time, and spoil you all with some wonderful shots of Avalon? Thank you in advance to anyone who is so inclined to help. <3

Pisces

Ruler: Neptune

Element: Water ( Mutable)

Ruler: Neptune

Yin Dynamic

Piscean reality is akin to a waking dream. The 12th and final sign, it incorporates the Entire Zodiac Experience. Natives often seem innocent or idealistic, often seeming to escape into fantasy and dreams. Pisces carries an immense empathy, as it is directly connected to the ultimate. The return to the waters is a process, one that the native works through their whole life. They see the fractal nature of reality quite easily, though the truth they see can sometimes only appear so due to the vantage from which it witnessed, sinking beneath the next wave. The tides can cause feelings of being exiled from paradise, when the ultimate they thought they connected with turned out to be temporary. This can lead the native to holding onto to the past while waiting for the new truth.

Being Ruled by Neptune, Pisces has a great capacity to aid in the more mystical aspects of life, seeming to have a boundless faith that their dreams will manifest concretely. The waters often bestow an unusual perspective, heightening the natives empathy and psychic awareness to the point where ideas and information seem to come out of nowhere. Miracles require faith, and who better to envision that than the ultimate idealists? Neptune also deals with Illusion and delusion however, and natives with Pisces or Neptune signatures can struggle with projections, body shame, and hiding beneath others reflections of them.

Those with strong Piscean signatures carry a strong need for connection and understanding, and will often subconsciously identify and connect with the pain of others around them, to understand through experiencing it with them. Their tendency to act as a reflecting pool for others can cause them unneeded pain through this, as often the native is called to associate with difficult or cruel people due to their extreme forgiveness. These natives should be aware of when they go into “autopilot empathy” mode, and drop in with themselves to ascertain the truth behind the fantasy.

As the counterpart to Virgo, Pisces can benefit from applying the discernment of the priestess to themselves and the world around them. In working through the illusions surrounding themselves, they learn to separate sympathy from true empathy, ultimate truth from ultimate deception, and how to navigate the boundary blurring that occurs within this watery sign.

As the Ruler of the 12th House, much of Neptune’s influence will be bestowed to any planets within.
