Leo season gives way to Virgo and the end of Summer

Albrecht Dürer Saint Jerome in His Study, 1514 New York City, Metropolitan Museum of Art (engraving, 246 x 189 mm)

Circle of the Master of the Female Half Lengths Lucretia, circa 1514-1550 (oil on wood panel, 655 x 500 mm)

The unknown artist who painted this Lucretia transported the subject into the space used by Albrecht Dürer in his Meisterstiche depicting St. Jerome. While most of the iconography from Dürer's print is removed, the prominent gourd in the upper right corner still remains.

The original meaning of the gourd often remains unclear to all but the most educated scholars, who have noted that it is likely a reference to the philological disagreement between St. Jerome and St. Augustine over the meaning of the Hebrew word kikayon as used in the Book of Jonah. Whereas Augustine believed it should follow the traditional translation cucurbita (gourd), Jerome settled on the term hedera, which describes a type of ivy.

Outside of those who would be familiar with this debate, the gourd in Dürer's print was understood to reference the passing of time, which may explain its inclusion in the otherwise unrelated story of Lucretia.

Happy full Moon in Aquarius! The star card depicts aquarius, "the water bearer, pouring out the waters of life. Here she depicted as Juno, wife of Zeus although the sign is ruled by Aquarius with strong affinity to Uranus and a host of other characters. Like the other human signs of Gemini and Virgo the actual person varies while often still retaining some kind of theme, quality or story.

Ah, Capricorn– the traditional star sign of corporate lawyers, architectural engineers, and heads of HR. Congratulations on your month, I hope your friends throw you a nice party this year instead of whispering I don’t know, they just give off that distant serial killer vibe behind your back like they usually do. Happy birthday!

(Isn’t that Aquarius on the same page so incredibly fabulous? But you’ll have to wait until January for that one.)

Another spooky beautiful blood Moon eclipse cycle is already looming over us, signifying another major turning point, culmination and release of emotion, efforts, passion, relationships, dreams. As always, Eclipse cycles bring crisis, a critical "decision point" where a fork in the road appears whether we know it or not and whether we like it or not. Around this time last year we had the first of this series of "blood moons" and much hoo-haw and hand wringing was had by false-prophets of doom and the undiscerning, cortisol-spiked  new-agers and christian types.  gotta love em! You can read my previous article on 2014 Blood Moon Libra Eclipse This year the hoo-haw has died down quite a bit and the cries of impending eschaton are gone, yet now, as ever, there are finger-tenting, eyebrow-arching declarations of collective birth into the 5th (or  8th?) dimension and similarly galactivated, holotropic-breathless swooning about "karma" and the healing, nibble-kissing, nose-touching dolphin/goddess energies of an Eclipse. phew! continue reading here: http://pantheonastrology.blogspot.com/2015/04/libra-full-moon-eclipse.html

NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE + EQUINOX

“ This Eclipse is special for the fact that it occurs just around the same time as  Spring Equinox. New Moons and Spring Equinox are similar cycles, in a way, both are initiatic birth-points for their respective Lunar and Solar cycles. It's also occurring at the final degree of Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac. This final, 29th degree of a any zodiac sign is considered "critical" and is referred to as "anaretic' Or "destroyer" in ancient astrological sources. Fear not those ominous terms, however. Critical = choice point and "destroyer" is simply in regards to old forms and ways of being.  You aren't in any more danger than you usually are in these unusual  times of crisis and destruction. (lol)“
