Astrology as a "Know Yourself" tool

[Patrish]

On the physical side, when you enter a shower you are being bombarded with chemicals. Chlorine, maybe fluoride and lots of other gunk - pharmacueticals and the like. I wonder if this has an effect on the spirit. Fluoride is supposed to do bad stuff to the pineal gland.
Natural cleansing like waterfalls and oceans give off negative ions which have a positive effect on us. It reminds me that we are part of something immeasurable. Dipping my toe in the sea always makes me smile - even in winter! But it has been said before that I am indeed, a bit odd :-)

TMI?

At least the planet Pluto is happy.

How am I looking, ulli? Challenges? I've found that my Saturn in Virgo is very pronounced since it is in the house of Gemini (I am a Gemini) and is sextile to Mercury (rules Gemini AND Virgo). This, in addition to me having Mars in Taurus makes me one stubborn perfectionist SOB at times, which may be why you often see the "Last edited by Nate" tag at the bottom of my posts .

I'd love to hear feedback from ulli and others.

It seems as if...We're gathering steam again. We're getting somewhere.

What will the next attempt on the forum look like?

it's going on already, methinks.

I've no aversion to showering, but for protection I prefer to fire up the red, black, and white like my hoodoo friends taught me, and for something extra nasty special messing around with me and mine I will grind up some dragons blood with some sea salt and ashes from the altar to fog up the house, and it's also great for sprinkling on the doorways and window sills. There are many methods of using the "fiery wall of protection" in addition to this, should the smoke and lines prove ineffective. Then there is all the selenite crystals that make it very easy to fill the "spaces" with "light" so that whatever gets run off won't have a place to slip back in. I've one really good ace up my sleeve that unfailingly helps me, as well. For about ten days or so leading up to this past saturday there was a huge pressure in the reality, thankfully it's eased up since then....

Not suggesting that anyone should avoid taking a shower[...]

Certain among us claim that the Repto's hate the smell of humans so not showering is one of the most effective defences. =/

Especially after eating garlic, hehe...

Hi there, Patrish. Your turn for a reading today...you've not been around much...
Give me a few more hours, though...got other stuff to do, first.

Thanks, Nate, for posting your chart right here...makes life so much easier for me.
But to be fair to those on that long list who have been waiting
I shall have to ignore you until it's your turn.
I can do three on a good day, so give me about a week.

Just one quick comment: your Taurus Mars may not be as stubborn as you think.
Look at the opposition from Uranus (saboteur, therefore often called "yer anus")
So before your Taurus bull can finish the job your Scorpio Uranus has stung it up the behind. Knowing this, you can now make changes, and direct things how YOU want them to go.

All your hoodoo friends are welcome, as are woowoos, and even the voodoo crowd...
The only ones who will be moderated are booroo crats

Haven't quite got a handle on them yet.

[Avocadess]

Patrish -- I'm with you! I have only taken actual baths or showers for years now at an average of once every couple months because the town I live in adds both chlorine and fluoride (and I refused to take that anymore!) The saving grace for me is the local springs! In fact I recently started going to the springs every morning to start the day with a swim in untreated negative-ion-filled spring water, woo-woo! On my way there in a few min in fact. (Usually I would have left over an hour ago but had a rush job I had to finish first!) When I get there before 8 am I can get in free -- and that helps me get back home in time for my work day, so that works out well...! Oceans, rivers, waterfalls and springs RULE...!

Wishing you all the best day EVER...!

Showering is one of my top three favorite things, along with sleeping.

Never thought of showering as cleansing negative energies.

Thanks for slap, Ulli. Great attitude adjuster, I always say.

All fishies love water...don't need it for cleansing.

As far as the slap is concerned...there's more where that came from.

But I wouldn't dream of being abusive, not even if you begged me.

But parents of Pisces children, please be advised that a loving yet FIRM hand
will bring out the best in your little fishy.

Did I mention where there is a party you will find Pisceans,
they make it heaven, because party life reminds them of heaven.
Everyone is so friendly...the nearest thing to oneness.

So, Ernie, what is your favorite song?

Reading for Patrish

You have Ascendant Gemini, unless there was daylight savings time where you were born, which I was unable to verify.
That, combined with your Aries sun in the 11th makes me suspect that you are an active person in your community, a leader, even.

On the whole a well-balanced chart, showing placements of a gentle soul despite the fact that your sun is in a fire sign.
The Libra moon tames your impulses, you are courageous, but also diplomatic.
The issues I see are mainly to do with health and children...maybe you dreamt of having them, but could not,
or at best, they have turned out very spiritual...with Neptune in the 5th, conjunct your moon..in Libra..
Very artistic...I see flowers....arrangements....also writing or drawing.
You use your hands a lot...
Love of nature with that Taurus moon in the 12th, escape to sacred places.
Financially secure, yet with Uranus there as well, there can be sudden upsets, but always quick recovery.
Your Venus is in Pisces, you are self sacrificing and giving, and want to do so in a world changing way. (Venus at the MC)
Saturn in Scorpio can bring health issues, reproduction problems, which is an added factor to Neptune in the 5th.
Currently I see no bad transits, and since you have hardly any hard aspects on the whole a smooth journey.

If I'm off in a big way it's because I am currently hampered by Saturn squaring my natal Jupiter, so please excuse...my vision
no workie well right now.

[ulli]

I can't believe I found this..after nine years.
Posted by a brilliant astrologer whose handle was spinwwweaver, we were members of the same yahoogroup,
and someone asked her what was positive about Neptune/Pisces/12th House

I never forgot her wonderful answer, here it is:

Neptune is Divine inspiration, absolute bliss, uncanny intuition,
psychic sensitivity, the Music of the Spheres, the still point that 'is
the dancing' (T.S. Eliot), angelic presence, a myriad of splendid
colours, masterful illusion, the fine arts, elegant grace, feathers and
fluff, Unconditional Love, Universal Oneness, stage magic, costumery and
cosmetology, speaking in tongues, water colours, impressionistic
painting, mystic and mystique, exquisite beauty, eternal youth, undying
devotion, endless compassion, generous selflessness, volunteer service,
ascendant spirituality, the Crown Chakra, Soul Mates, pure innocence and
Kwan Yin --- to name a few."

[Star]

Thanks so much for that post Ulli. For most of my life I have not found my sun/neptune/mercury conjunction useful in the world I find myself in and I would sell my cancer moon in a hearbeat, but I will print that statement out and not be so hard on myself....

Love & Gratitude,
Star

Each sign has positive and negative traits, as well as wonderful and awful people.
It is up to each of us to balance our self-image, so that we know where we stand at a given time
and from there proceed with our lives, as creatively as we possibly can.
If one were to take away just one sign, the world would collapse.

Without Aries there would be no novelty, nor discoveries.
Without Taurus there would be no romance, no delicious meals, no music.
Without Gemini there would be no enthusiasm, sharing of knowledge, city lights.
Without Cancer there would be no resorts, no Viennese pastries, no massage spas.
Without Leo there would be no festivals, no home decorating, no quality clothing.
Without Virgo there would be total mess and endless pandemics.
Without Libra there would be constant wars and fisticuffs, and no art galleries.
Without Scorpio there would be no life on earth, period.
Without Sagittarius there would be no cars nor airplanes.
Without Capricorn there would be anarchy, no infrastructure, no comedy.
Without Aquarius we would still be living in the caves, making fire with a flint stone.
And Pisces is already up there.

Anyone feel free to add to this list.

Edit:[/B] PS: What I actually came here to say lol... ...do we have a Tarot version of Ulli?

I did some Tarot readings here on the forum. So, Yes.

The allergy comment cracked me up. Why do you think the water works this way? Water protects us in the womb, perhaps that is related?

Water is a disorganized quantum fluid with very high mass. This is disruptive to the energy patterns that an 'organized energy pattern' being or astral body requires, in order to 'be', or connect with another being. Now add high levels of water flow, chaotic flow. As you would get in a rapids on a river, or a river on it's own. Or in this case, in the shower.

Works for me anyway.


As an astral shape, I've been stuck in objects before, like walls or rocks, etc. Not a good place to be. Flowing Water would be 1000x worse. Dense like rock, but no stable organization. Totally chaotic. It would be, in my estimation, exceedingly difficult to hold a link through chaotically flowing water.

I've tested this. It seems to work.

Water is the best for this, its the first thing i tell people to do if they think they are under attack,
even if they have been around too many other people and are feeling overwhelmed, water is the best remedy to clean
other energies that are not your own out of your field.

Even too much time online, i find that simply washing your hands and forearms, from finger tips to elbows, under cool running water makes a huge difference.

Personally i take it up a notch and take salt water baths, especially if i'm doing divination work, i only get the clearest messages from the highest sources that way.

Salt is something else the lower astrals really dislike , its common practice after clearing houses to seal the entrances and boundaries with lines of salt,

Also I have a lot of water in my chart , so i guess this makes sense that i have an affinity to it.

[ulli]

Yes, I do love salt baths as well, and topped with bicarbonate of soda which is great for maintaing PH balance.
Astrid, I do believe we already have formed an interdimensional bond...
as just before I discovered that you had posted here I was thinking of you and wondering if I should ask you to share that article about the 12th house...
The 12th house is equal in strength to the Pisces-Neptune factor I was talking about earlier, and should have included
in my post above...in fact I will go and edit it in right now.

[astrid]

Yes have been thinking the same thing.

We also have quite a few parallels,
i used to work in the rag trade also.

An in depth chat on the 12th house would be cool, it does get rather a bad wrap,
i think its a very misunderstood house , myself.....

[astrid]

Oh and,,,, we have just hit a Mercury Retro phase again too.
From the 2nd to the 26th, if i have my dates right.

[ulli]

Astrid
Yes there are people who still practise old time astrology and have not kept up with the needs and uplifted consciousness of the times...
and who are using outdated terms like "house of self-undoing" which doesn't help anyone.
Practising modern astrology meant fine-tuning terms like intuition and inspiration and psychic flash, each one representing a particular sign/house/planet.
Example:
Intuition is Aquarius/11th house/Uranus
Inspiration is Pisces/12th house/Neptune
Psychic ability is Scorpio/8th house/Pluto
Gut instinct is Aries/1st house/Mars
Logic is Capricorn/10th house/ Saturn
Sensing is Cancer/4th house/Moon
Analysis is Virgo/6th house/Mercury
Magnetizing is Libra/7th house/Venus
Mental processing is Gemini/3rd house/Mercury
Search and find is Sagittarius/9th house/Jupiter
Faith is Leo/5th house/Sun
Patience is Taurus/2nd house/Venus
