Ellie (Dreams Down Under) (June 22, 1966)

I’m not letting any state secrets out here, as Ellie has published a YouTube video this morning with an astrologer explaining her birth chart to her. Here is my version of the same thing.

There are quite a few conjunctions which may be helpful in understanding where Ellie is coming from, with the Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo standing out for me. There is but one inconjunct.

Mars Inconjunct Neptune

With this aspect you must learn to stand up for yourself and demand your rights forthrightly and directly. Often you feel that you don’t have enough energy to assert yourself or that any such effort would be futile. Unfortunately, some people with this aspect learn to work behind the scenes or dishonestly. Others simply give up or take a defeatists attitude toward life.

Sometimes this aspect operates on the physical plane as well. You may have a generally low energy level and feel tired all the time but not able to sleep because of nervousness. You may actually need more sleep than others, and if so, you should try to get it. This aspect may also indicate that you tend to have allergies and infections.

You should get regular exercise to build up your body. Watch your diet carefully and get enough sleep. Stay away from any foods that your body does not handle well.

So, who is Ellie’s inspiration?

Pamela Colman Smith (February 16, 1878 – September 18, 1951)

You’ll notice that I’m calling their karmic connection an inspiration, rather than a reincarnation. Perhaps that’s the Universe’s way of saying the same thing, but in human terms, I’m splitting hairs. The Mars/Neptune conjunction in Taurus in Pixie’s birth chart is opposite Ellie’s Ascendant @ 7° Scorpio. We noted that those two planets are inconjunct in Ellie’s chart. That’s an echo. Even their natal positions of Saturn are less than 10° apart in Pisces. And their natal positions of the Moon are less than 2° apart in Leo. Ellie’s North Node (also conjunct her Venus) is almost exactly conjunct Pamela’s natal Pluto in Taurus. Obviously, something is going on behind the scenes.

It seems only fitting that the artist who created the Rider-Waite (Smith) tarot deck should connect with a true communicator of tarot readings to the world. Yes, the Universe always wins!
