to birth and further incorporate your discoveries using your down-to-earth-spirit as a cornerstone in life to brace the natural voice to live as the marrow of the matter in your actions.
Incorporate your celestial groove to naturally intensify your way and raise up your strong balance to new levels.
Energize the heart of the matter as you explore your core with Tarot Birth Cards. Further, nourish your marrow of the matter!
How do you resurrect wonderful inner gold from the past to marry your head with your heart and gut and give form to the formlessness by building down FROM your dreams to continually make them generative realities in your life? How, like a Taurus, are you unshakable and firm in how you place yourself?
What are the most majestic qualities you have that emanate from your Creative Wellspring, your Yoniverse from which everything emanates, that both nourish you to be both afloat in clarity and live with the marrow of the matter like the structure of the ocean does? How do Mars and Pallas-Athena (aka Minerva) keep your Piscean, oceanic waters fresh with living strategies?
What are the most key transformation drives you have that you work with to nourish and nurture how you dwell, how you make place, how and what you naturally integrate into your concept of home? Think about a Centaur and how that uniquely complete being stands on the ground and moves through life. Yes, Centaurs and Sagittarius more often lives in XIV Temperance, though when here, think of your allies. A human torso seamlessly segued with a horse body? The Centaur has two hearts, and two minds. What?! Two minds? Yup, there is of course the one in the head. Where’s the second one? It is the very earth the Centaur stands on, a Gaia Mind. How do you connect with the ally that is you while you connect with larger and smaller forces to get the job done? The Emperor here is not listening in for fumes of betrayal wafting through the background conversation. The Emperor has put down his sword and crown. His horse has set down to become the World Tree he resides within. He is not checking for betrayal. He is touching base to check on the health of the empire. Like the Centaur, how is the very ground you walk on as inspirational as the stars in your sky? I suggest to pull your 4 of Pentacles as a DNA strand to explore this in more detail. See the 4 people in the background? What? You only see 3? Ahh, yup, that’s valid. Until of course you see the 3 as a group with the spaces within and around them that composes the 4th.
How is the very ground you walk on as inspirational as the stars in your sky?
How comfortable are you with the intensity of your earthly desires?
Is addiction actually a cover stone for pesky inhibitions that sneak around like creepy crawlies under a rock within you? Suggest to not try and fill closed vessels. Inhibitions enslave as easily as excesses, if not even being their blind spot source. There is a subtlety and nuanced quality to the things you pour. Rather than waste not want not, feel into how Capricorn and Venus come together to birth your Growth Principles. Together, they might compose the Individuation Planet, aka Uranus.
How does Uranus factor into as the marrow of your matter, your living structure without stricture?
How do you not waste trouble when life throws you world-altering curve balls? How do you lean into the dissonance of those kinds of times to make them World ALTARing? Understand what is toxic, though understand toxic things as not being standalone. Gasoline is toxic. Gasoline is toxic unless you put in the tank of a vehicle and start the engine and go VROOM and take yourself places as you utilize its intensity by harnessing opposing forces in their dance when you dwell them together in wonderful, alchemical vessels. How can you live with more Both~And with Dignity in Difference in your life? No reason to take on other peoples’ stuff. Allow it to fill the vessel between you, have it on the table and drain it as necessary while you work together to mine the golden nuggets hidden there. No reason to work with everything on the table. Pick your poisons your way. Poison is simply too much of anything. Further, I see that as too much of a lack of connectivity which leads to withholding from yourself and others. That is isolation and loneliness rather than solitude, together.
How can you more fully embrace and gold-pan trouble by safely leaning into dissonance when it is present? You aren’t responsible to fix everything. Though, when you provide a safe environment for things and people to iron out their own kinks, with a little help here and there, you tend to start a process of natural nourishment for your environment both inside and out.
How and what do you gold-pan in your life? What do you want to gold-pan? Now’s always the time. Life is what passes you by while you’re too busy making plans. Plan like you might on a road trip where you adjust your navigation as required, and have no fear of U-turns. Control is a fiction. Navigation is present whether you smoke Hope on the couch or get in there inside and out there in your world and do something about it. What do you want to do something about?
How are your natural, inner animal voice and your celestial groove connected to Nature? How do you dance them together? Play a little Gemini game. Dance how deeply you listening and connected you are when you speak to inform your intuition. How does this enhance and engage a more robust education and re-education of your intentions as they directly live in your actions? I’ll suggest to look into Pluto and Scorpio and the 8th House in your Birth Chart. Maybe add in:
Moira #638 who I see as Inner Rhythm in contrast to Saturn’s (Chronos) chronological time
Poesia #946 who I see as the poetry in motion of your natural ways
Hygeia #10 who I see as Well Being
What are new challenges to explore in your Life Sandbox with these 3 Astro bodies discovered in your Chart?
Ahhh, and we arrive at the seismic waves within of the Moon ~ Hermit combo. What are the plate tectonics of how your inner structures activate, are engaged, slip and fall and renew, and move in and out of deeply resonate new ways for you? And more, how are new ways wonderfully recreations of your continually developing, natural way?
What inspires you deeply from unseen sources?
What moves you inside to tune your clarity of vision from a loose flame to a blowtorch tool?
How can you more fully and robustly and simply BE as the Moon is with the ocean, as the Hermit is with your inner world? What navigation tools can you enhance when your inner oceans, your outer seas, and your intuitions are naturally put into actions over time?

Oh, and 2023 is 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7. It’s a Tower ~ Chariot Year. May they orbit this year as a Fixed Binary Star Couple in your sky to always give you a cornerstone to brace your navigation.
I hope you get some useful stuffstance for 2023 from these Birth Card Groupings and short snippets.
May they provide some catalysts for you to chew on for more of
Or, have some fun and calculate your Birth Cards yourself:
Or, have fun adding your birth month + birthday + birth year until they reduce to a number that is 21 or less (21 Major Arcana cards + the 22nd as The Fool not included)
Example: December 4, 1967 = 12 + 4 + 1967 = Add 12 and 4 to equal 16, and then add 16 to 1967 = 1983. Then make 1983 = 1 + 9 + 8 + 3 = 21. 21 is XXI The World card. And, then 21 = 2 + 1 = 3 which equals III The Empress. So, the Birth Cards for this date are World ~ Empress, or World ~ Empress ~ Hanged Man. Did you know that some say that The Hanged Man is the Empress’ son? I rather resonate with that.
Alternately,
12 + 4 = 16 and 16 = 1 + 6 = 7, and 1967 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 7 =23, and 2 + 3 = 5 added back to the 7 .from 16… 5 + 7 = 12 = XII The Hanged Man, so the Birth Cards = Hanged Man ~ Empress.
Note: XXI or 21 The World. 2 + 1 = 3. XII or 12 The Hanged Man. 1 + 2 = 3. And, III or 3 The Empress = 3.
World ~ Empress Birth Card combo. Hanged Man ~ Empress Birth Card combo

From my Astro perspective eclipses are Faded Events. What are Faded Events? There is somewhat of a strobe light quality where time feels to speed up, though nothing, or very little, is missed in the interstice, those little voids of the spaces between. Interestingly, time feels to speed up in Faded Events, though in actuality I see it as slowing down. Slowing down to sync with the everything of what is happening such that one actually experiences the synapses, too, the space between the notes. And, I see the interstice, the space between the notes, or better the Psychic Synapse as 50% of each neural act. The neuron loads, fires leap-of-faith-style across the synapse. The unseen in the void is 50% of the heart of the matter, and may very well BE the heart of the matter. Then, the neural leap lands on the next neuron, and a connection is made. Then, the unseen heart of the matter from the Unconscious, from the synapse AS the heart of the matter is one-third of the whole deal.
Back to the Eclipse
Back to the Eclipse. With the Eclipse conjunct Uranus in Taurus the status quo opens up, may even tectonically explode with Uranus being the Shaker-Upper. The gloves may be on, though the mask or persona is off. The natural Nature, whatever it is, emerges. Period. You may be surprised. Maybe even terrified at the newness, may even feel blind-sided by it. Though, almost for certain, you will birth something new within that has a Must Urge to be brought into your external reality.
There are lots of butterfly-emerging-from-the-chrysalis indications. Lots of birth metaphors are present in the Eclipse in Taurus. The High Priestess, herself the temple AND that which is within the temple, may be a wondrous ally. Think and feel Pallas~Athena, aka Minerva nestling into your life under Astraea. They are the ultimate strategists. They tend to make Mars’ warring tendencies look like he is playing Tiddly Winks or checkers to their 3-level chess. Use this to make your actions more robust. Use this to discern value by making sure that whatever the heart of the matter is for you is rolled in as the driver for the actions you choose to take, or that occur to you. Being present and unthreatened without explanation are keys here.
Humpty Dumpty comes to mind. And, what will you do with what emerges after any given fall? And, more importantly, how will you facilitate the birth, the post-fall discovery? Humpy Dumpty fell from the wall, though isn’t that where the story really begins? What happens afterwards? What do you make happen? And/or, what simply happens?
Take Care with Uranus Present in the Mix
Take care with creative births in your life today and tomorrow and through the coming week. Odds are, they will stick around to be drivers in the next several years of your life and work. If you work with them like a gardener adjusts the walking path for special, new sprouts from naturalized perennials, you may very well reap wonders in your life in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.
There is a naturalized perennial quality to this Uranian Eclipse in Taurus.
Back to the Births of the Eclipse
~ Do you see the head of your creation crowning? Excellent! Proceed. Don’t waste trouble, and complete the newnesses into being.
~ Is the placenta wrapped around the neck of your new birth? Well, take care to untangle that thing with zeal and haste, though sync with just the right speed as you do. Play well in the sandbox with Uranus to induce the Water Bearer Magician of Aquarius. Nod in your magic as you literally pull the water out of thin air. Literally, be The Magician who pulls water out of thin air. Aquarius is the Water Bearer, though astrologically, it is an Air sign. Dial into the Both~And of that Aquarius quality with Air and Water. Nourish both the breath of life and water of life. Also, take care not to get overwhelmed by FICP. Functionally-Interrelated-Component-Part. There is complexity present. Though, navigate as you mind all the parts as they are interdependent. A change in one will affect a change in another. I suggest to take a nod to this thought: when you move, when you act, inside or out, be aware that when you shift focus you might also change scale. Roll with that.
~ Is your birth breach? Well, stay in there. It’s not birthed until it’s birthed. And, it’s most likely important to complete the birth process. Allow expectations to unfold and reconfigure your priorities. Stay in there and work to bring this new birth into life. The Operating Room may be messy, though your creative birth may thank you both soon and also long from now.
So, What’s Going to Happen with the Eclipse?
With the Eclipse, all in all be your own OB-GYN for your creativity, for your life. And/or be your own Birth Doula to stay in there and assure your births nourish Your Life, Your Way. Respect new ways to develop your growth as newly influenced by what comes into being. You may not know what it is until it’s born. Can you simply, with the Uranian concept of reasons being unreasonable, birth whatever is, and then nurture it into its own robust Nature to inform you differently?
Here’s a Double-Image, Visual Eclipse Story
Here are two images I find resonant with this Eclipse and being comfortable with the beautiful Uranian not-knowing. How do these two visual stories play along in the truth of your birth(s) beyond expectation(s)? How can you incorporate the space between the notes and synapses?
Uranus Breaking Through, Robustly Hatching, from Under Saturn’s Throne,
The Volcano Teaches About This Eclipse
The Volcano.
Its head in the clouds,
continually making new lands when it does,
its feet firmly planted in the abyss.
(paraphrased from The Life of Firedocumentary [seen on Amazon Prime rather than PBS])
Inception, first-spark having all of your tools on the ready at your disposal. Head and heart married, so the heart consciously has enough breathing room, so the heart can be buoyant enough to unweight the scale and balance on the Scales of Justice with the feather.“The Coming of the Faeries.” Tom O’Bedlam 1918~Norman Lyndsay
I am looking forward to being on Astrologer Anthony Anthony Picco’s Cosmic Tuesdays show tonight at 9:30p EST. March 22, 2021. It is live tonight, and in the archives tomorrow if you want to be there and can’t make the live show. The US brings up the caboose, the rest of you all in your time zones are already in the Cosmic Tuesday then… Oz (Australia) is 16-hours in the future. Tune in from the perpetual present of where you are.
Logos IS the Holy Grail from my perspective. It is each of us. We are each the Vessel, and what we fill ourself with. I see this image of The Coming of the Faeries as an image of wholeness always complete, never finished. She is SO in charge, and they are feeding her from the wonderfully intense chthonic depths within, from the collective unconscious.

That is all. The rest today (below) is just filler.

A tree can not grow to heaven unless its roots grow to hell. ~ C.G. Jung
Be your own best ally. That way, when you are your own enemy, it’s one less step to take as you’ve already kept your enemies closer. You see, enemies don’t betray you. They can’t, because they are enemies. Betrayal comes from those close to you. So… when you see the waters of the people close to you, or yourself, parting… incoming! Just smile and turn right into it. Surprise! The wits and will of not being surprised at a surprise attack often act as a sea wall for that water to crash on… and flow back out. Then, you can address it… on YOUR terms, hearing theirs. The Royal We is and is not a misnomer. There can only be one mouthpiece. Do you take responsibility for yours? ~ (C) 2019 Jordan Hoggard

Avoid Inner Civil Wars by Facing Inner Beasties
First is the influence
Then, the resurrection of courage in Self of the marriage of heaven and hell
Then, the relational living, and then… together, you will build wonderful (not necessarily happy)…
“Reflections” (c) 2009 Jordan Hoggard
A great attitude is great. Though, if you are all love and light, I bet when you are crossed you are a vicious and gnashing rodent due to your own internal imbalance that triggers and lashes out? Is that punitive or accusatory, or just accurate? Isn’t triggered reaction just that? Heck, can you say Thank You inside and know that YOU have something to address? Doesn’t that give new meaning to Don’t kill the messenger? Seems to me that it sure does. Even Don’t kill the messenger becomes a one-liner, single tenet of how to psychologically interact in a way beneficial to self and other. Hmmmm, I think I’ll give it a go. (can) You?
Chthonic Numinosity = Self. You Gotta Marry the Dark with the Light. Cummon… it’s FUN! Well, that’s not the word for it, though isn’t it rewarding? Silence is as valuable as being able to go to 11. Don’t waste trouble. As Alejandro Jodorowski’s Chariot said, I made a diamond out of my misfortune. Can you?
Do you? Will you? Will you face your troubles when they arise, or zip back into the coral shell? Maybe you aren;t as fragile as you’ve been led to believe… Who was it Who’s said?… Keanu Reeves, maybe? Those who have been brutally broken, and can still be kind to others and animals, are badasses with a heart of gold. Welcome to the world, you Badass! Go YOU!
Whose ass are you going to kick with gratitude today? May they kick back, too. Again, Go YOU!

The Dark and Light in balance, equals (wonderful) Self. I laugh that when I first thought that, I laughed so hard I almost fell off my Unicorn. 😉
