The astrological 9th House is known to be a broader version of the 3rd. The energetic relationships between planets and the influence of planetary archetypes can manifest in the 9th House and be relative to long-distance travel, higher thinking, philosophy, higher education, and publishing and literary pursuits.
Right now, Taurus is taking up the majority of space in the 9th House, and there’s definitely an abundance of energy in Taurus.
There’s a conjunction with the Sun on the 26th degree and Uranus on the 19th degree. Taurus is a sign of love and beauty, it’s ruled by Venus the Goddess of love, and it’s natural home is the 2nd House of possessions.
A conjunction between the Sun and Uranus can deliver a blast of will power to a necessary awakening. Taurus energy can be lazy, and the 9th House is definitely not a place for laziness. Uranus is jolting us to awaken because there’s much to gain (possessions) from pursuits in the 9th House. It could be a sudden interest to travel somewhere , or it could be a sudden interest to study and devote oneself to sacred or philosophical texts. Possessions need not always be something tangible, the truth perhaps, can be one of the greatest possessions of all.
On the other end of the sign, we have Jupiter 0 degree, the moon 4th degree, and Mercury on the 6th degree; that’s a three planet conjunction. Jupiter is sign of expansion and abundance, the Moon represents our subconscious mind, and Mercury represents our the part of our brain we use for everyday thinking. Given the sign and house and the conjunction between Uranus and the Sun, this three-way conjunction is showing an opportunity for mental expansion, and more importantly, the discovery of something previously unknown.
The presence of Mercury indicates communication of some kind, and this could be a conversation with someone who’s in possession of information or knowledge you need. It could also be you communicating the discoveries you’ve made during quiet study or meditation.
It’s not often we see five planets in one sign, and it wont last long. The Sun and the Moon will both enter Gemini in a few days.
This morning, I found myself in contemplation for three hours while I sat in the morning sun. My attention was once again brought back to the North Node in my birth chart, and my ascendant (1’43 Leo).
The North Node represents where you’re going in this lifetime. It also represents the energy that needs to be harnessed to fulfill our soul’s mission.
My North Node is located on the 29th degree of Leo in the 2nd House. The star, Regulus (The Lion’s Heart) is also on the 29th degree of Leo. So, I have this conjunction between Regulus and the North Node.
The timing of this, of course, is perfect because May is the month when Regulus shines the brightest after the sun sets.
God already showed me that I was Gaius Octavius in a previous life, but that whole thing started flooding back again. I guess I missed something. For those who don’t know, Gaius Octavius was the First Roman Emperor (Caesar Augustus).
So, what did I miss?
Well, the 12th House is the end. I have Cancer in the 12th House, and on the 29th degree, there’s Orcus retrograde. Leo is tied to Italy and Rome, and Orcus is believed to have had a temple built in Palatine Hill, Italy. The connection I missed was that Augustus had his Imperial Palace built there.
My chart picks up from there with the 1st House beginning on the feast day of Mary Magdalene (7/22, which is also the first degree or first day the sun enters Leo). Metis, the Roman Goddess of wisdom and deep thought is on the 12th degree of Leo, and the only 1st House Placement I have. Which is kind of interesting because as you can see, I do a lot of deep thinking.
As far as my chart goes, I’m going to stop there. I didn’t want to tell you every specific detail about this morning’s meditation session, but I had to mention the part I did so you would understand the Moon’s placement for this morning.
At 10:52 this morning, the waning crescent Moon was located on the 17th degree of Aries in the 9th House. The Moon was in conjunction with Chiron, and both formed a square with Mars on the 27th degree of Cancer in the 12th House. Chiron was the wisest of the Centaurs and he was a teacher. A Chiron/Moon conjunction in Aries in the 9th House will bring all the subconscious and hidden thoughts and memories about the self to the surface.
Contemplation about past lives and reincarnation is a 9th House thing.
Can you see how that works?
The ninth house is the house of the higher mind, philosophical thinking, long-distance travel, and higher education. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and the ruler of the 1st House. The first house is the house of self. It’s who you are, were, and will be.
The Midheaven in my birth chart is 17 degrees Aries. That’s where the Moon was this morning. Chiron was using the power of the moon and the moon’s placement to to show me the highest point or culmination point of my chart as it related to my first house of self, Leo.
It was showing me that in a past life, I had everything. I was the Frist Emperor of Rome. That’s why I have the Jupiter 7th degree/Mars 12th degree conjunction in Virgo in the second house. That’s abundance through action, aggression, and war. Jupiter and Mars in the second house is acquiring possessions in abundance through conquering, through war.
But they’re both retrograde.
As a matter of fact, Orcus, Metis, Make Make, Jupiter, Mars, and Pluto are all retrograde stretching from the 29th degree of cancer in the 12th House, to the 21st degree of Libra in the 4th House.
And if all those retrogrades represent not an open door, but a closed one and a review of my past lives, than this life begins with me personifying Uranus, the Awakener, and the God of my sign, Aquarius.
The seventh house sun (18 degrees Aquarius) is born in bondage, but wakes up, breaks free and gains independence (Uranus).
This will be easier to understand if you follow astrology, but even if you don’t, you’ll still get it.
My natal moon is on the 2nd degree of Scorpio, which is kind of interesting because for the first, I think, 12 hours of the day I was born on, the moon was in Libra. I think it just entered Scorpio a few hours before my birth.
Scorpio is not a very good placement to have a moon. They say the fixed nature of Scorpio makes it difficult for the native to be emotional, and because of that, most people who have a natal moon in Scorpio are misunderstood.
On top of that, my natal sun is in detriment in Aquarius in the 7th House. I’ve often heard people say a 7th House Sun is born in bondage, and maybe there’s something to that because I’m 43, and I’ve never been married. I’ve always felt like committing myself to a relationship meant sacrificing a part of myself.
There’s lots of interesting stuff like this going on in my chart, and I’ll give you one more before I get to my point. Mercury is exhalted in Aquarius, but in Pisces, it’s in its fall. Mercury in my chart is on the zero point degree of Pisces.
You can’t make this stuff up!
I’ve always believed a chart full of unfavorable placements and aspects was full of opportunities and mysteries, and I think that holds true.
Now, despite the amount of illusion in my chart, there’s one thing that definitely stands out, and that’s my ascendant. I’ve been practicing and studying astrology since 2008, and it was only two months that I finally woke up to truth about my ascendant.
The numerical code for “I Love You” is 143. The feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, Apostle of the Apostles, and the first of the women who followed Jesus to proclaim Him as having risen from the dead is celebrated on July 22nd.
7/22, from an astrological perspective, is the end of Cancer and the beginning of Leo.
My ascendant is 1°43 Leo, and I looked at this point in my chart probably thousands of times over the years, and it never meant anything to me until two months ago.
Now, it carries a special meaning.
Despite all the uncertainty, all the illusion, and all the detriments and falls; no matter how difficult and hard life gets, there’s a message of eternal love right on my ascendant.
With Venus in the 10th House right now, love and beauty entered the realm of career and public reputation. I wouldn’t be wrong to assume love could be used to further your personal goals and agenda in this area as well. I’m not suggesting you sleep with the boss to get that promotion you want so bad, but if you put a little extra care and love into your pursuits, it might really pay off.
It’s possible a recent career choice has made you very happy, and the truth here is when you love what you do for a living, everything else seems to follow.
The 10th House is also an area that represents a place you’ve arrived at through your own efforts. Don’t be afraid to show a kinder and more loving side of yourself if you’re not seen in that way already.
Cancer is the sign here, and Cancer is the sign of home and family. At this time, I would look for opportunities coming by way of the family. Sometimes, a parent or a sibling might have a friend or know someone who could be of help to you.
A lot of people don’t recognize this, but the home and family play a huge part in where you end up in life. The 4th House (home and family) represents your foundation, and parents who are well known and successful in their careers tend to have children who follow suit. Family members can open doors for us that friends can’t.
But, let’s not get too wrapped up in the 4th House because we’re talking about the 10th House. If you’re looking to increase your popularity and gain more recognition or even fame, it’s hard to ignore someone who genuinely loves. Right? Doesn’t love conquer all?
This morning, at approximately 10:08, the 10th House Sun (9 degrees ♉️) was within 120 degrees of the 3rd House Moon (9 degrees ♍️). In astrology, when two planets are within 120 degrees of one another, we call it a trine; it’s a harmonious and favorable aspect.
Because Taurus and Virgo are both earth signs, it’s an earth trine.
The energy right now is favorable for communications and local travel. Today is Sunday, and if you have the day off from work, it’s the perfect time for shopping, visiting family and friends, or doing something you’ve been dying to do all week but haven’t had the time. Just getting out of the house and cruising through your old neighborhood might be what you need to put things into perspective.
As far as conversations go, right now, it could be extremely beneficial to speak with someone of the opposite sex, maybe your significant other. With the Moon and Sun in trine, only good things can come out of sharing information, your feelings, or your plans about your current profession.
Someone from the opposite sex might be able to provide you with an angle or a view you were previously unaware of.
I see something more in this reading.
With the Sun and Moon in trine, there’s harmony between man and woman, night and day, and all the other things represented by both luminaries. In addition, through Virgo, the Moon brings tremendous focus and attention to detail to the table. In Taurus, the Sun, which is already blessing 10th House endeavors with will power, will now because of the Bull, have staying power and the ability to settle in, get comfortable, and make a serious run.
With the placement of the Moon in the 3rd House, and the Sun in the 10th, I think this might be the perfect time to start a home-based business. I see nothing but opportunities for success and public notoriety.
You can write, start a podcast, and create a website from the comforts of your own home, and with the Sun shining in the 10th House, public recognition is sure to follow.
Open up the lines of communication and bring the discussion to the table!
Yesterday morning, in the April 26, 2023 Edition of my Moon Scope, I shared my interpretation for the Moon’s placement in the 1st House on the 21st degree of Cancer.
The hidden message was that it’s time for us to step out of our comfort zones. The universe was telling us that the time is right for us to shift our focus away from home and family and away from the familiar.
It’s time to break out of our shells despite what the people close to us might say or think. The energetic push is for us to be authentic, true to ourselves, and in aggressive pursuit of the unfamiliar people, places, and experiences that will promote new growth.
In a sense, after the break out, we must embody the characteristics of the huntress and become the personification of the Moon Goddess, Artemis.
Yes, this was my interpretation of the reading, and sometimes, when the universe sends us a message, curiosity gets the best of us, and we want to know why. We’ll, I didn’t need to look any further than the 11th House square (aspect) between Jupiter in Aries and the Moon in Cancer.
Squares reveal tension between the two planets involved, and the tension is karmic energy. Squares place obstacles in our path and make things difficult, but not to prevent our progress or to stunt our growth. The universe understands that it’s only through the struggles of difficult times that we learn certain lessons.
That’s what breaking out of our shells is all about, and that’s what pursuing unfamiliar people, places, and experiences for new growth opportunities is all about.
So, the square between Jupiter in Aries in the 11th House reveals the reason why. Jupiter represents abundance, expansion, and good fortune. The 11th House is the house of hopes and wishes, friends, social organizations, and the future.
Balancing the karma and working with the energies between the Moon and Jupiter can pay off big in the long run. A door to a brand new future can be opened, but it begins with “the self.”
I don’t think I need to go into detail because you should be able to easily see the cause and effect here. Breaking out of your shell will attract new people to you. If you’re outgoing and willing to try new things, you’re going to have new opportunities, learn new things, and discover new resources. You can build an abundant and more prosperous future when you go after what you want and live without fear.
Opening up and showing people a side of you they’ve never seen before will completely change this cause and effect energy and alter your future for the better!
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to this April 26, 2023 Edition of Moon Scope.
As April comes to an end, we find our waxing crescent moon that’s 6 1/2 days old in the astrological sign of Cancer, and honestly, we couldn’t ask for a better sign to have a moon placement because the Moon rules Cancer. The Moon is home in Cancer, which means the lunar energy will be at its strongest and most prominent.
In the chart I pulled at 9:55 this morning, the Moon was in the 1st house on Cancer’s 21st degree.
The waxing crescent phase is one that’s all about action, and as the Moon’s light brightens up the first house, “the self” comes into focus.
When we take Moon’s phase and the fact that Mars is within 5 degrees of the Moon into consideration, there’s an aggressive approach to some delicate energy here, and the message is to do whatever you have to do to be nurturing towards yourself.
Compassionate, passionate, nurturing, receptive, and sensitive are all words that describe our zodiac’s Crab, and because Cancer is in the 1st house instead of its natural home, the 4th, the attention shifts from home and family to ourselves personally. A lot of people give us shit and call us selfish when we put ourselves first, but taking care of ourselves isn’t selfish.
Most of us possess Cancer-like energy because I think we’re at our happiest when we’re surrounded by family and things that are familiar to us, but my interpretation of this alignment is that it’s time to step out of our comfort zones. It’s time to get away from the familiar and seek new unfamiliar people and experiences that are going to help us grow as individuals.
The crab is the symbol for Cancer, and crabs have a hard, impenetrable shell that protects everything soft and vulnerable underneath. At the first signs of danger, the crab may retreat back into its shell and rush off into the water where it feels safe.
With Mars at our side, it’s definitely not a time to retreat. We are being nudged to break out of our shells. Don’t worry about being vulnerable, and don’t worry about what people are going to think or say when they see the real you.
I’m sitting here reading and doing some studying. Quiet it’s not, and of all songs, I’m listening to Mike Macaluso’s club anthem, The Final Chapter.
It’s amazing to see how all these dots connect. So, I’m reading through one of my old favorites, Inside The Priory of Sion, (you’re probably sick of hearing me talk about this book, but everytime I thumb through it, I find something new) by Robert Howells.
On page 280, underneath the subsection titled The Second Coming, I find the paragraph pictured below.
Oh, that’s cool, I thought, The Final Chapter led me to The Second Coming!
Dots!
I read this quite a few times over the years, but that first paragraph had an excitingly different feel to it tonight. Can you guess why?
Give up?
It says, “With a New Jerusalem rising from the receding floodwaters..”
That’s how the first paragraph opens, and up until last week, I probably would’ve read through this section like I always have, but boy, this news about the African continent splitting in half changes things.
Apparently, this split began in 2005, but I just read about it last week. It’s on the eastern side of the continent, and it starts at the top near the Red Sea!
I mean, you can’t mention Jerusalem without mentioning the Red Sea, and because they’re relatively close geographically, you would not be crazy to assume several things.
Most people could care less about what’s going on in Africa, including a friend of mine who happens to be from Uganda. I don’t get it!
A tectonic plate shift, continents moving around, and the earth reshaping itself, has up until now, been entirely speculation, and something we believed to happen over millions of years.
That would never happen during our time! Oh, but it is! How is this not being seen as one of the most important events in the history of our planet? HELLO!
We’re living through this amazing process, and thousands of years from now, a future generation will look at a map that’s totally different from ours.
They’ll say, just like we have, “I heard a long time ago, this new continent formed because Africa split in half. I mean, that new continent looks like it could possibly fit nicely if you placed it next to the other land mass, but who knows.”
That’s what we’ve always said, but we never knew for sure. The biggest news, though, and the biggest connection of all, is this;
Africa splitting in half is not only a major event concerning the physical evolution of our earth, but it’s a sign that our ancient ancestors anticipated and expected for a very long time because it would signal the rise of the New Jerusalem and the Second Coming of Christ.
The New Jerusalem rising from the floodwaters..
They already said the split was going to be cause of major flooding. A new continent and a new ocean will be the result, so we’re talking about the possibility of devastating land-sinking flooding here. What other event can cause the type of flooding needed for Jerusalem to rise anew?
I’m going to wrap this up by sharing this; The split in Africa is a sign for the Second Coming. The flooding it causes will be the floodwaters mentioned above that ultimately set the stage for the final act of St. John’s Prophecy. This event, we should be thanking God we’re living through.
We are living on this planet during a time of physical earth changes. This event, if examined properly, will reveal much needed information about us, the planet we live on, and the changes that occurred in our far distant past. This stuff happens over millions of years, and we’re here now!
In addition, just two days ago, we we’re talking about the First Station of the Cross. That information was also from this book. We’re trying to figure out the significance of the Ethiopian boy in the scene of the Judgment of Christ before his crucifixion.
I raised many questions about the imagery of that scene, including the connection between the Ethiopian boy representing Ganymede or Aquarius and the crucifixion of Jesus.
We’ll what’s going on? Pluto is beginning its transit through Aquarius. Pluto will retrograde several times over the next year before going direct and staying in the sign of Water Bearer for the next 19 or 20 years. The First Station of the Cross is the beginning of Christ’s path from judgment to crucifixion.
In that scene, there’s an Ethiopian boy who represents Aquarius. I don’t know about you, but to me, the picture is clear. Ethiopia is in Africa. The Ethiopian boy who represents Ganymede or Aquarius connects the split in Africa with Pluto’s transit through Aquarius right now, and eventually, the Second Coming of Christ.
This is the time, and it’s all happening right now. At the end of all this, we have some firsts or beginnings. The split begins in Africa, Pluto begins its transit through Aquarius, and the path from judgment to crucifixion begins with The First Station.
Did The Final Chapter really lead us to the Second Coming? Yes, in a way, but the Second Coming is the Final Chapter.
There are a few things I wanted to mention in this short but sweet post to recap and share what I’ve come across in the last several days.
The Stations of the Cross; as mentioned in a previous post, there are 14 Stations of the Cross that can be found in most churches of Western Christian, Roman Catholic, Angelican, Lutheran, and Methodist faith. They represent the route taken by Christ from the site of his judgment to the site of his crucifixion.
What we found in the First Station were the colors representing the four stages of the alchemical process; the Ethiopian boy, the color of the plate or bowl he was holding, the gryphon, and the color of Pontius Pilate’s hair.
Next, we discovered hidden symbolism representing Ganymede/ Aquarius as the Cup Holder or Water Bearer as he held the bowl of water that Piolate would wash his hands with.
This, in my opinion, is a tremendous discovery as it links the crucifixion of Jesus to the alchemical process of turning lead to gold (which could, in itself, be a symbolic representation of purification), and because it also magnifies the importance of the role of Aquarius. With so much going on at that time, with the judgment and condemnation of Jesus, you would have to consider anything placed within that imagery to be of some great importance.
Switching gears; Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer, aka JUICE, is an interplanetary spacecraft that was launched on April 14, 2023, by the ESA. The plan for this mission is to study the three Galilean Moons of Jupiter, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa.
April 14th is approximately the exact time we discovered Pluto on the doorstep of Aquarius. With Pluto looping in and out of retrogrades over the next year before finally going direct to begin a 20-year transit through the astrological sign Aquarius, I find this mission’s timing and overall plan fascinating and precisely the type of thing we can expect to see over the next 20 years.
Aquarius is the zodiac’s sign that represents the future and space, but even more, this mission involves two key characters from the Aquarius origin story, Jupiter/Zeus and Ganymede/Aquarius. I didn’t have a chance to meditate and contemplate on it yet, but for a brief moment last night, I thought to myself, is the origin story about Ganymede, Aquarius, and Zeus a story with hidden meaning that’s actually in some way explaining how Jupiter captured its Moon Ganymede within its orbit?
For those who have eyes to see, let them see. Two days ago, I posted an article about Pluto entering Aquarius. In that article, I mentioned a few things about Aquarius that really stuck out to me when I read this description about the 1st Station of the Cross of Jesus.
The description is below, and it’s from Robert Howell’s book, Inside the Priory of Sion.
I just learned about Ganymede, the beautiful young boy who was abducted by Zeus disguised as an Eagle. Zeus, who was obsessed with Ganymede’s appearance, swooped down to earth, picked him up, and took him to the heavens to be the Cup Bearer for the Gods.
Eventually, they gave Ganymede his place in the heavens, which became the Constellation Aquarius.
Now that you have the back story, let’s get into what the pictures above talk about. In all, there are 14 Stations of the Cross that can be found in some churches. The Stations describe 14 key events that mark the Way of Sorrows, or the route taken by Christ from the site of his judgement to his crucifixion at Calvary.
Above, is the description of the first Station only.
What caught my eye here initially was the mention of the golden gryphon, a mixture of a lion and an eagle.
I have, in my chart Aquarius on the descendant, and Leo on the ascendant. Leo, as we all know, is a lion, and there’s a constellation that borders Aquarius called Aquila. Aquila is Latin for Eagle.
The earth plane is represented by our ascendant and descendant, and when you put that specific combination together, you have the mythological gryphon, which is half lion and half eagle.
It says above that Jesus was condemned by Pilate, and Pilate was being served by a black boy. Black is a color stage in the alchemical process (and so is red, which is the color of Pilate’s hair), and the frequent use of an Ethiopian boy is used in writings and paintings to represent the blackening stage of the ancient process.
Just yesterday, in my article I mentioned that Ethiopia falls under the rulership of Aquarius, and if you continue reading the text in the second photo above, it says a black boy carried a white plate of water with which Pilate washes his hands.
What I just discovered hidden is this text that describes Jesus’s condemnation, is the reference to Aquarius, the Cup Holder, and the Water Bearer!
If Ganymede was taken to heaven to be the Cup Holder or Water Bearer for the Gods, was the crucifixion of Jesus real or a reenactment with subliminal messages for those worthy of understanding?
Also, the four colors of the alchemical process are black, white, yellow, and red. Just when I thought yellow was the only color not mentioned, I remembered the golden (yellow) gryphon.
Red, which is the final color representing completion, is the color of Pilate’s hair. What does this mean for Pilate? Is he in some way, Golden, or like a God?
Well, it says the golden gryphon symbolizes vigilance and courage, and it’s a symbol of good and evil. Think about it; if Pilate’s hair is red, and red is the final color of the process, which means the process is complete and lead has been turned to gold, then Pilate is the golden gryphon. He’s full of courage and vigilance and both good and evil.
I haven’t even looked at the descriptions for the other Stages yet, but this is a good start.
