Little faces in the wood

I like that the wood is showing itself again through the paint.

Uranus

A little tribute to this planet, whose discovery was announced on a March 13, 1781.

His chart is from this site, which has information about him as well.

I found how this planet was discovered and how it was named so interesting to read of as well.

Astrology and Chakras

http://www.innerself.com/Astrology/chakras.htm

by Ray Grasse

“In this article I would like to explore the exciting possibility of bridging two of history’s greatest psychological systems — astrology and the chakras. Conventionally, these two systems have been seen as having little or nothing to do with each other, the former primarily concerning the outer world, or macrocosm, and the latter involving the inner world, or microcosm. In fact, as we shall soon see, these two systems are but two sides of the same coin, each one complementing the other and thus enhancing our understanding of both.

The basic system of correspondences I will be using here is drawn from teachers I have studied with in the Kriya Yoga lineage.1 The general system of “chakric horoscopes” and their guidelines for interpretation are my own, developed over more than a decade of working with these basic correspondences. With that said, let us begin by exploring some of the core ideas of chakric philosophy.”

I wish to read more of his perceptions of this, and so order the book,

Waking Dream

mainly because of this little excerpt,

“Chakric interpretation using the signs

We have seen how the twelve signs closely correspond to the different chakras by spinning the zodiac around until Cancer and Leo are positioned at the top of the wheel. The placement of a person’s planets within these different signs will therefore provide important clues as to which chakric levels are emphasized. For example, any large constellation of planets in Libra or Taurus would indicate a heavy focus of attention, karmically speaking, on the lessons of the heart,”

When I played a little with astrological charts of my sons and I, I found that our moon signs were all in Taurus and a few posts ago I wrote of lessons of the heart, and because of a poem one of my sons wrote some time ago, describing a dream he had, mentioning Leo, his friend amounst the stars, he is a Cancer, his father a Leo, so what he writes of makes me more curious:)

It also connects to me what I have been reading about here,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyoti%E1%B9%A3a

The foundation of Jyotisha is the notion of bandhu of the Vedas or scriptures, which is the connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm. The practice of Jyotisha primarily relies on the sidereal zodiac, which is different from the tropical zodiac used in Western astrology in that an ayanamsa adjustment is made for the gradual precession of the vernal equinox. Jyotisha includes several nuanced sub-systems of interpretation and prediction with elements not found in Hellenistic astrology, such as its system of lunar mansions (nakshatras).

When reading of this, I came across something about leaves or palms that are able to tell our heritage by a thumbprint, or DNA, that there is only a certain amount of these, but again I did not bookmark it, so must find it again and post it here when I do.

Another site though that explains the meanings of the chakras

Pegasus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(astronomy)

http://www.allthesky.com/constellations/pegasus/

http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/Pegasus.html

I see him as a Universal Spring:) the second image looks like a big tub, filled with water maybe from his hooves and turned upside down to flow out.

He is seen in the constellations near Pisces and Aquarius, February or March being Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and most easily seen to us in the skies in September or October which is spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

Mythology

What I see in this image is hesitation in Pegasus. I see Pegasus as a bit alarmed, halting, drawing back, not wishing to hurt the creature below his feet.

The creature below Pegasus feet seems to me to be carrying a sleeping one on his back which looks like a baby deer to me, travelling across the skies to safety maybe and looks up at Pegasus in this encounter as if in surrender, or sadness, and as if he knew him. He looks like a lion to me or as how I know lions to look like, and I see a heart, made of a chipping on his nose. And when I read the tale of Bellerohon and the Chimera, might even symbolize a ram, even though I wished it to resemble a Unicorn:)

I see nothing of a beast in this image that is written of, in the tale of Bellerophon and the Chimera, and I am glad of the one who drew this, on the bottom of a Epinetron such a long time ago, and I am glad for the photographer Marsyas who travels to Greece, takes pictures of these things in museums and shares them on the internet for us to see, and I also see muse now in the word museum.

When I first came upon this image a feeling of sadness came over me, maybe it was because Pegasus was being led by another, to do what he might not have done on his own, aiding the one on his back who could not have done what he does too without Pegasus’s help. And even when I read the tale of Bellerophon and the Chimera, I see, if it is Bellerophon on the back of Pegasus, doing this deed because of the instructions of another. This sadness I felt was what I felt in reading of cloning too, of Toppy, there is a connection, because of the word hybrid and I know even this is creation, I just do not know as yet why it makes me feel so sad.
