The Story of Bottled Water (video)

Since Dreamyfish Art is all about fish, oceans, and water, here's an important video, The Story of Bottled Water, which you may find informative:

However, another watery consideration (with Neptune now traversing its own watery sign of Pisces!) is that America's water infrastructure is elderly, deteriorating, corroded, and in need of serious overhauling which was made even more apparent by the destruction brought to our East Coast by Hurricane Sandy.

Is Deepwater Horizon Oil Leaking Again? 9.1.11

Sliding Down a Slicky Memory Lane (a BP-Gulf Blowout Deja-vu)

by Jude Cowell


Is the belatedly capped Deepwater Horizon well in the Gulf of Mexico leaking oil? A photo from 2010 indicates this may be so, I'm very sad to tell you.

Remember that happy day when I posted that the 'BP cap is stopping leak' circa July 15, 2010?

The headline then was that no more oil is leaking from the Deepwater Horizon well. Yes, Neptune is deeply involved in the whole BP oil fiasco and its cover-up since in Astrology nebulous Neptune rules oceans, oil, gas, leaks, fraud, deception, veils, illusions, delusions, cover-ups, dispersants and chemicals, poisons, drugs, smothering, and lies.

In a word? BP.

Now it's September 2011 and Scotland's North Sea has recently been breached by an oil leak with environmentalists demanding more answers from Royal Dutch Shell than they've received so far.

As you know, the propaganda going round is that Corporations Are People, Too--until the bagpiper is ready to be paid. Then they skip out on the bill and leave government (we-the-people) with as much of their tab as they can get away with.

Well, the little Red-banded wrasse you see below doesn't seem much impressed with 'royalty' acting badly no matter which flag they fly. He hints that human personages who can't get enough power and wealth need to get wise to their bad selves, back off, and take responsibility for their activities like all Oil Can Harrys end up doing if they criminalize society long enough--creeping about oppressing people and having their misguided way.

Okay, I'll hush about it. For now. And turn you over to Mr. Red-banded in a close-up from his Dreamyfish Art portrait, a botanical pencil rendering by yours truly but within his own imaginary scenario as a colorful backdrop in which to float about in his fondest dreams!

Bridled weed whiting groks New Moon in Pisces 2.24.09

Oh look: Bridled weed whiting is peeking from the algae just in time for Feb 24's New Moon in Pisces, sign of the two fishes!

As you know, the mythology of Pisces relates to spirituality and mystery, and 'hiding in plain sight' is its talent through the sign's connection with nebulous Neptune.

Now astrologically, I use traditional rulers for signs which makes Jupiter ruler of Pisces, though I may refer to Neptune as co-ruler or a higher octave of Jupiter, aka the Hierophant in Tarot.

Idealistic, ideological Jupiter relates to traditional religion while Neptune is more of the 'spiritual' component in our psyches...Neptune is the divine source (and also ruler of the seas in which little fishies swim - it turns up in our dreams as the ocean = the unconscious.)

Astrologically, Neptune also stands in for the masses and represents the collective unconscious, although psychological Pluto has a say as well.

So with Tuesday's New Moon, we may expect a new phase of such spiritual, mysterious, or creative issues, if we so desire. But the weekend (this is being typed at 1:22 pm est on Friday 2.20.09) is the dark of the Moon, the Balsamic phase, 3 days during which the I Ching cautions us to lay low, dream, rest, and perhaps create...things which Pisces adores without any prompting at all!

You may wish to view the horoscope of Feb 24's New Moon 6Pis35 with details - including midpoint pictures from the chart which is set for the Capitol Building, Washington, DC (est.)

And the New Moon's Sabian Symbol for '7 Pisces' is to be found at Stars Over Washington for your evolutionary consideration.

So Happy New Moon, Everyone, and treat a fish to lunch!

Rare Species Netted in the Philipines!

Sea Basin Expedition Nets Rare Species from the Celebes Sea south of the Philippines, a biologically diverse area of ocean.

Some possibly 'new' species include a transparent sea cucumber, a spiny 10-tentacled orange worm, and a black jellyfish. Follow the AP article's link to see a photo of some of these rare denizens formerly hidden so well from our view.

And since I've never drawn a black jellyfish (didn't know there were any!) here's a noble re-post of a white jelly, titled,Jelly's Leavin' by yours truly using Prismacolor oil pencils and Rexel Derwent Watercolour pencils.

Neptune's realm is giving up some of its mysterious species, it seems, and Neptune rules fish and fishing 'nets' too!

Giant Red Kelp revealed...

...to be...

Giant Red Kelp!

A few goldfish busy themselves nearby as they plan for their futures.

Other specimens of artist-invented plants waft along with gentle, imaginary currents undersea as the ubiquitous bubbles arise from unseen gills and escape upward, toward the one ray of skylight.

This drawing reflects my continued aim to blend on paper the earthy realism which Saturn represents with the nebulous, mystically spiritual Neptune of the watery realms.

Spiritual aspirations are the province of Neptune's trident, and Neptune's links to Pisces, the two fish swimming in opposite directions, and to Creativity, make it a seductive muse perfect for artwork, music, literature, and film...dissolving Neptune is the urge to merge, while Saturn hardens and solidifies.

Want to have your most flattering photo taken?

Do it when Neptune connects with your Venus, or when Venus links up to your Neptune.

Start with beautiful Venus as the Attraction Principle, then add Neptune to diffuse light and cast your visage piquantly inside a rosy glow...you'll be a *smash, Dahling...it's one of the magical effects of Neptune's Veils!


*harmonious relationship between Venus and Neptune in the natal chart may be required for best results; offer not valid outside solar system.
