Elsa, I get ideas when I don’t plan things. They come when unexpected. It’s a surprise!

-Mercury conjunct Uranus-

With mercury conjunct neptune in the third, I probably do best with music. If I want new insights, it’s best to get something new, that I’ll really dig. Then put on the headphones and get down. The silver screen starts rolling. Or I’ll rent a car and take a day trip, if I really need to get unjammed. Crank the CD player on the road. If I miss my turn, what of it?

I like to make connections between past and present. We live in the techie world, instant information, all that, but the human concerns are the same. In Athenian literature, Tiresias is the seer, the blind man who exposes the blindness of the hero character. In astrology, the 12th house seems to represent the stuff you can’t recognize. Being human, it’s always a struggle to see.

The cycle for me is like this: I get caught up in the worldly realm, and to some extent, overly concerned with it. Then I hit the wall a little bit and have a 12th house experience, or perhaps a mystical house experience. I’m made new again, rejuvanated. But the cycle repeats itself. Blindness returns, and I forget the lessons that I learned.

I like that period in the early waking hour. I’m still in bed, in the dark, with my eyes closed. It’s a dreamy period, but pleasant. And that first cup of coffee is the best.

Many ways. I have my dwelling time, where I just sit and be, and allow whatever wants to come to come. It’s a way of reading the unseen worlds. Other times I go into intense periods of research, either online or in books. Sometimes I ask a question and wait for the answer to arrive, which it always does eventually in some fashion. Often on waking. Journalling or automatic writing can draw in amazing intelligence. And following instinct and intuition, going somewhere without knowing why, just because the notion has appeared can lead to the most amazing insights. Exercise, a walk in nature or just cooking or housework after hard thinking/research always brings in the right-brain Aha! moments. Mercury in Aquarius in the 5th conjunct Sun (out of sign), Moon conjunct Neptune in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Pisces (6th).

I have Mercury Conjunct Venus in Gemini at 11th house and both make a Sextile to Mars in Aries 9th house and Sextile Uranus in Leo 1st house.

So Traveling with friends or reasearching (Virtual Travel) helps me start the process and after that is hard to Stop !!!

Have a Great Day !!!

I don’t know from whence they come, I just knows they do. Sometimes when I ponder, sometimes when I read, sometimes out of the blue. Sun-Merc-Saturn trine Neptune, dude.
