A QUIET WEEK, IF YOU DON’T MIND KARMA OR EGO DEATH
Our next, and therefore beginning to Impact our Ambient Energy, occurs at the Ides of May, with dwarf planet Ceres – Sustainability – Stationary, at UT 5:36, in 22 Capricorn – Surrendering Personal and Ancestral History1 (Lonsdale pp.330-1). The chart has two Major Challenges, but they’re both Fully Self-Resolving, and Enhanced by the same Earth Grand Trine. I always like to point out that the Easy Road to Sustainability is Sustenance, or Giving Up What’s Unnecessary or Lowest Priority in our Values.
1 NOT Hermit Ornery… – that was a typo – sorry! Many thanks to E for catching it!
Since this follows a pretty Serious Karma OOB New Moon though, it’s likely to be more Momentous than its Self-Resolution would imply, and several intervening Initiations suggest how. For instance…
But the Biggies are…
Soul Recruiting Karma and Sun as Her Agents (Uranus Initiating Karma and Sun 12-13 May) in 24 Taurus – Standing in Our Own Sovereignty and Commanding Respect (Lonsdale p.88). Fortunately, this is Fully Self-Resolving and Enhanced, though it has one Isolated Square we will have to Learn from, between Tough Love re Sovereignty and Enlightened Respect for All (Thereus-Black Moon Lilith vs. Samadhi OOB-Hopi). Interesting Coincidence how this dovetails with the Eris events (previous bullet), almost as if this was planned out in advance.
Two Ego Death Adventures…
First, Healing Despair by Shifting our Identity (Chiron Initiating Requiem 13 May), at 22 Aries2 –
“Elaborate Permission Granted for every side of self and its most intimate World to play inside. A determination not to suppress or deny, nor to relativize or minimize the interior experiential journeys and explorations… Pushing this kind of thing to the brink and beyond. No place to stop. No rules, no laws, no standards. Just the sheer experiential thrust of whatever can be dreamed up, innovated, and made possible” (Lonsdale p.56)…
Which shares the same Self-Resolution-Except-for-the-Isolated-Square chart as the Uranus-Karma-Sun Initiations above.
Second, Ego Death of Our Guilt and Pride (Cyllarus OOB Initiating Nemesis OOB and Niobe on 10 and 15 May) in 4 Leo –
“The resistance [to Ego Death] is thick, persistent, and backed up by the world around us in every way… everything depends on taking a path into the shadows that no ego mind wants, and that nobody in this vicinity knows the uses of deeply enough. A Deep Earth path that reclaims what civilization has paved over. An ardent quest into infinities that hold the keys to Earth’s evolution” (Lonsdale pp.160-1).
2 Another typo/potential Intuition: Originally and Incorrectly, as 22 Taurus – Overwhelming Focus on the Timeless Inner World (Lonsdale p.86). Thanks to our CAO for noticing!
Remember that Degree Readings are Independent of Initiation Readings, so this is another “Coincidence,” or more suggestion that the Spirit of Lonsdale’s ex’s Goddess contact on Venus was an expert on Earth Herstory. But of course both of them had access to the Akashic Records.
Enough planets moved in the intervening five days to cause the two 4 Leo Initiation charts to differ. In the Guilt Ego Death chart (10 May), the Major Challenge in the Mutating Signs is Self-Resolving, but those in the Creative and Stabilizing Signs are Non-Self-Resolving. All three though are Enhanced, the Mutating and Stabilizing Challenges by Emotional Grace (a Water Grand Trine), and the Creative Challenge by Grace of the Intellect (an Air Grand Trine).
The Pride Ego Death 15 May chart is just, well, weird, in the sense that it doesn’t look like any of the charts we’ve seen so far. The Stabilizing and Mutating Signs are inhabited by Non-Self-Resolving Major Challenges, aka Our Spiritual Evolution Homework, though they’re both Enhanced by Emotional Grace (Water Grand Trine). The Creative Signs feature only an Isolated Opposition, which of course ends up being our Homework as well.
EGO DEATH OF GUILT
Since 10 May is fast upon us, it’ll Behoove to put our scalpel to the Cyllarus OOB-Nemesis OOB Major Challenge (T-Square). Two other Energies are Merged With this Initiation, Pride (Niobe) and The Life Force (Varuna OOB). Once clear suggestion is that any Chronic Health Condition We Are Not Enjoying (Varuna OOB) May Be a “Victim” of the Major Challenge Here – that is, If We’re Ready For It, We Could Stumble Into a Major Healing here.
This requires some Explanation. Jeffrey Rediger, in his masterful discussion of his Lifelong study of “Spontaneous Remission,” which we would call Healing, points out that Healing of Identity (pp.254-86) is one of the most Critical steps in the process of Allowing “Spontaneous” Healing, and his Healing of Identity sounds very much like our Dedication to Efforts to Eliminate Karmic Mindless Repetition, Self-Sabotage, Overthinking, Duality, and Codependence in order to bring more of our Instinctual and Intuitive and Nonjudgmental True Self into the 5D Space where the Quality of our Work will be Tested.
And both really are about Allowing, not Doing. We take a Step, and then we have to Test whether it Worked and how it Worked if it Did. Like planting a Seed in the Garden, it’s not about making it Grow, it’s about Providing the best Conditions we can for Growth, and then Surrendering to What Happens Next. Then we look to see how we did, and what we might do to Improve. Continuous Quality Improvement is what it’s called in my former profession, the Objective Boeing and much of the rest of the US confuse with Continuous Profit Improvement. Okay, I get it, it’s not Confusion, it’s that Profit is their Definition of Quality!
Dr. Rediger talks about all of the basic requirements for Spontaneous Remission of Chronic Disease – Improving Nutrition, Lowering Negative Stress, Adequate Exercise, Supportive and Loving Community, Relieving PTSD Wounds and Negative Codependence, all the things it takes to get the Soil ready for the Seed. And then we need to Heal Our Identity, which means bringing our Self-Concept and Self-Image into Alignment with What Really Is, into I Yam What I (Really) Yam.
I think of that as No Longer Reacting to my natal astrology and Transits, Responding to it/them instead. And better yet, Appreciating and Utilizing the Unique SuperPowers that they Are.
The Transit (astrology in the Sky as we speak) we have here is Ego Death of Guilt, Pride, and All Obstacles to the Life Force (Cyllarus OOB Initiating Nemesis OOB in the Presence of Niobe and Varuna OOB). This Stellium is Opposed (Arguing) with another trio of planets about Compulsive Disbelief and Dismemberment of the Ego (Pluto-Kassandra-Osiris OOB).
As we’ve Averred often, Guilt is almost always Programming installed to Manipulate us into Acting (not Being) the Role of Who Our Programmers Wanted Us to Be – regardless of who we actually Are and Were. If we Felt Present-Moment Guilt or Regret, we could usually Resolve it fairly Easily by Making Amends. Nevertheless, when our Programmers were Successful, they installed Guilt (and/or Shame) into our Values so that we’d Feel Guilt when we didn’t Play the Role they Wanted.
Most of our Programming is Karmic – we brought that Soil into our Current Lifetime, and our Soul “Hired” Fellow Actors to Replicate it in our Current Lifetime, with our Soul’s Intention that We (our Current Ego) would finally Notice that it is Self-Sabotaging, and Change it. There is Power in Repetition, and our Programmers were good at Repetition, and of course Repetition is the Glue that also holds our pre-Birth Karma together. No different than building up a physical Muscle.
In other words, Osiris is over there on the other side of the Pendulum, Begging us not to Let Our Guilt Go – it Defines Who We Believe Ourselves to Be (Kassandra), since we’ve been Programmed to Confuse Acting with Being – how else could they Program us to be their Puppet? And we’ve been Programmed so thoroughly that it’s Compulsive (Pluto). And Programmed so well that we’re Proud (Niobe) of our Performance, Guilty when we Forget our lines, and get sick (Varuna) when we feel like we’re Failing at our Role!
There’s the Opposition. What’s the Focus of the Challenge (T-Square)? Rebirth (Haumea)! If we can Revert the Spell/Curse/Trance of this Programming, we could Heal our Identity! If the rest of our Soil has been well prepared, we could find ourself Allowing a Spontaneous Remission of What Ails Us.
The 8 May 2024 UT 3:22 Karma OOB Super New Moon is a hybrid, its chart containing two Homework Non-Self-Resolving but Enhanced Major Challenges, and one Fully Enhanced Self-Resolving Challenge. Aside from the, the New Moon itself is Merged with Newly Out of Bounds asteroid Karma. That means that, for the next several weeks, when anything Untoward happens to us, we need to Respond as if it’s a Gift, as it will be Illuminating Karma that we hadn’t Noticed, or Taken Seriously Enough.
Noticing Karma is the First Step toward Reverting it. A Perfect example – MSExcel causing my Browser to crash and I barely avoided destruction of years’ worth of work. Ok, that got my Attention. So, What Exactly is the Karma that needs to be Changed? I have some Possibilities in Mind, but are those really the Indicated Karma, or just Ancient Faux Guilts that my Programming installed to Manipulate me? We might be in the Corpal Collosus (that Bridge between the two Halves of the Brainbone), or we might be Way Off Base. We need to PIAVA the Depths for Answers.
What’s in the New Moon chart, which in general is our overall map for the next several weeks?
Karma OOB-New Moon itself is one end of an Opposition under the Regrowth of Confidence (Brigetta OOB-Chariklo) Non-Self-Resolving Major Challenge. We’ve already reviewed this, as our 19-Taurus New Moon is close to a couple of the Partner astroevents we looked at in the Previous Post. The other end of the Duality is Interminable Repetition (Sisyphus). Well, that’s almost a definition of Karma itself, isn’t it. So if our Initial Take is that Oppositions represent Arguments, then Karma-OOB-New-Moon must be about Eliminating Karma. Eh?
However that works out, the next few weeks are likely to be Replete with Karma in one way or another. If it takes a Conversion to Both/And to reduce Stress on our Confidence, perhaps we’ll be Differentiating the Karmic Habit Baby from the Repetition Bathwater and bringing it all far enough into Consciousness that we Manifest the Best of Both Worlds.
The second Non-Self-Resolving Major Challenge Homework Focuses on Sustainability (Ceres OOB), which Challenge we also talked about earlier. The Opposition base then was the Nodes, with Ego Death (Requiem) on the North Node (Life Mission). Here though, the Chiron-Mercury Initiation joins Requiem on the Ascending Node. So what’s Chiron-Mercury-Requiem about?
Complaining (Mercury) about our Discouragement (Chiron)? I’ve mentioned before how when playing the card game Hearts and encountering a string of Averse Luck, it Changed only after I Complained about it. Being Aware (Mercury) of the Degree of Optimism or Pessimism Inherent in our Point of View (Chiron) is another Boon for our Sustainability. We can’t Poor-Sweetheart ourself and Change our Perspective to Dance Over Roadblocks and Speedbumps till our Observer Self Notices that we’re Feeling Discouraged – What we’re Most Likely to Manifest is More of What We’re Feeling.
So our Big Lesson over the next few weeks may be that we More Often Invoke our Observer Self (Mercury) to Assess the Degree to which our Mood is Impacting What we Create or Fail to Create. The Realization that we’re not really Manipulating or Exploiting our Reality, but Negotiating With It, would be a Major Ego Death (Requiem) that would seriously Impact our Life Mission (North Node) and make a Big Dent in our Karmic Held Emotions (South Node) and Enhace our Sustainability.
The third Major Challenge is Fully Self-Resolving and Enhanced, meaning that our most Productive Attitude toward it is as an Interested but Non-Participating Observer. The likely Result (Focus of the T-Square) is Realizing that any Shame we Feel about the State of the Planet is Not Really Ours in the Present Moment, but Expired Karma (Phaedra OOB-Altjira OOB-Atropos).
Since by Definition Karma consists of Inappropriate Assumptions about the Benevolence of Reality, when Karma Expires we have no Natural Triggers to Explitly Inform Us that we Need to Change our Assumptions, and How to Change them. The Missing Ingredient is Consciousness of our Karma. Fate + Awareness = Choice, and its corollary, Karma without Awareness = Fate. Yes, we have Free Will, if we have Awareness. That’s why the Wannabe Patriarchs are so Focused on Hexing “Wokeness” – when we’re Awake, we can no longer be Controlled.
The base Oppositon in this third, Observer, Challenge is between The Most Important Thing is Abuse (Saturn-Nessus) and The Rigorous Judgments of Laws and Rules (Thereus-Veritas). When People can no longer be Controlled by Shame and Rules and Fear of Abuse, the Perps have lost their Victims. That changes the whole nature of Conservative Society, Conservative meaning Needing Dependence on Outside Authority. 5D requires Exactly the Opposite, Reliance on our own Inner Guidance.
If enough People see through this Bold but self-evident Gambit of the Abbots and DeCostellos of American Politics, let alone the King of Abuse, Tyrannosaurus rump, the next two weeks could be the very Threshold of the New Age.
Among the three Major Challenges, there are two Enhancements (Grand Trines). The one in the Air Signs (Intellect) Harmoniously Connects the Obsolete Shame Self-Resolving Challenge (Phaedra OOB-Altjira OOB-Atropos) with the Regrowth of Confidence Homework Challenge and our Held Emotions (South Node). Connecting our Held Emotions with Anything Harmoniously is a Great Blessing!
The other is in the Earth Signs (Matter), Harmoniously Connecting the Sustainability Homework Challenge with Rigorous Judgment of the Dualistic Rules (Thereus-Veritas) and the Karma OOB New Moon itself. Quite a combination – Sustainability, Yahweh, and Karma. Obviously the combination of Rule-Based Religion and Guilt (Karma as Retribution) has been Sustained for Millennia. They’re Still killing each other over Your Rules are Blasphemous!
Our current cluster of four astroevents…
…contain nine Major Challenges, and eight of them are Non-Self-Resolving or Our Homework. But, following the recent trend, all eight of them are Enhanced (as well as the ninth). The basic Risk is that we Lose when we allow the Opposition to remain an Either/Or Argument, but when we Convert it to Both/And, we bring our Concept Set closer to Reality, and thus our Relationship to Reality is less Stressful.
THE PATRIARCHY
In the Patriarchy (Jupiter-Heracles) chart, all three Qualities are Non-Self-Resolving and Enhanced. The “Stakes” or Risks are…
This is the first Triple-Challenge Configuration I recall seeing. It gets Complex because the Arguments and Foci of some T-Squares are also the Gifts of the Enhancements to the other T-Squares, requiring that we develop Situational Discrimination in the Concept Sets that Define our Worldview and our Identity. That’s Mandatory in 5D, where only Uncontaminated Intuition that Implicitly Allows Paradox will Promote our Community and our Survival. Rule-Based Dogmatic This is Good – That is Bad Approaches will Revert us to 2D. If you’re ever asked to Explain yourself, Run the other way – you’re in the wrong Frequency.
QUESTIONING TRUST
There are two Non-Self-Resolving and Enhanced Major Challenges in the Threat to Trust (Chiron-Eurydike) astroevent chart, where at Stake is…
There was a lot of planet overlap in those two astroevent charts, because they were only four Degrees apart, and a decent degree of Uniqueness in each because they were more than three Degrees apart. At 17 Degrees, this next event chart will be more Unique.
CORRECTION
I’ve made a correction on the May Calendar – the Chiron Initiates Mercury (Discouragement and Miracles, Awareness) formerly listed as occurring 8 May actually occurs on 7 May, an hour before the Veritas Station, in 22 Aries –
“Elaborate Permission Granted for every side of self and its most intimate World to play inside. A determination not to suppress or deny, nor to relativize or minimize the interior experiential journeys and explorations… Pushing this kind of thing to the brink and beyond. No place to stop. No rules, no laws, no standards. Just the sheer experiential thrust of whatever can be dreamed up, innovated, and made possible” (Lonsdale p.56).
Before I looked that up I was about to write that Chiron-Mercury Discouragement-Awareness might make us more Depressive about the Expired Shame in the Veritas Station chart! But reading that tells a whole Different Story.
OVEREMPHASIS ON THINKING
The Overemphasis on 2D “Reality” (Veritas Station) has only one Enhanced Non-Self-Resolving Major Challenge, Focused on Ancient Shame about the State of the Planet (Atropos-Phaedra OOB-Altjira OOB). Yes, it’s Appropriate to Feel Shame when we take on part of the Blame for the Apocalyptic Condition of our Home Planet. But it’s not at all Appropriate to take on part of the Blame for the Apocalyptic State of the Planet.
The Shame is Dead Karma (Atropos), not Present Moment. We just Clung to it because it made us Feel Whole somehow, like we were Important enough to be Part of the Solution instead of just Part of the Problem. As if picking up that plastic water bottle in the street and putting it in the Recycling bin (so the Recyclers could put it in the Landfill that will Flood next week) would Heal the Planet. And because Clinging to Expired Karma is so very Tempting as it Protects us from the Weight of Change and more Ego Death.
The Argument in the 2D Opposition beneath this T-Square is between Our Woundedness (Saturn-Nessus) and the Shallow Belief that we can Heal it by being Hardass about Changing a few Patterns (Veritas Stationary-Thereus-Orcus). Yes, the part about our Abuse being The Most Important Thing is certainly relevant, but Thinking about it won’t Change it, especially the Shame of it. That will Require Self-Loving Self-Empathy.
Because of the Timing, we have to consider the Chiron-Mercury Initiation and the Veritas Station to Reflect one another, so we may well find ourselves Regressed to Situations where the Overexuberance of Youth or of Bipolar Episodes led to Abuse and Shame.
The Enhancement adds two Spirit Allies to Help Heal the Shame and Abuse – the Regrowth of Self-Confidence (Brigetta OOB-Chariklo), and Empathy for our Held Emotions (South Node). Till now we’ve probably been Feeling Pride about our North Node (Life Mission) and Avoidance about our South Node (Held Emotions). The chart has an Isolated Opposition between the Nodes,1 and Ego Death (Requiem) on the North Node. So some Self-Loving Self-Empathy may well Arise.
1 Yes, the Nodes always Oppose one another, but it’s not always Isolated (no Squares), and it’s not always in the chart (within a few Degrees) of the Configuration that’s Lit Up.
We’ll go into the 8 May New Moon in the next Post.
How are you doing on your new Blank Slate?
“Feel free to also PIAVA that All of your Karma is Kaput! All At Once, Bang! Just Like That! When this Works, you’ll feel like something is Missing, possibly something Panic-worthy. Embrace that Feeling – it means you now have a Blank Slate and you can Write a New Story on it for your Future. Do That, Lovingly and Joyfully, without Holding Back on any of your Greatest Dreams and Desires. It doesn’t need to be Perfect – start with the Big Picture, and know that you can Edit and Expand it whenever and however you Please. You Just Won the Jackpot!“
I hope you’ve at least got an Outline, so you can quickly Identify what’s Missing or Reversed (NO! I don’t want to Focus my Thoughts on Scarcity, I said ABUNDANCE!! What am I Grateful for?) and Revert! – otherwise known as Cancel-Neutralize-Upgrade. It’s Doubt Day after all. Again, from the Commentary in the May Calendar…
“Here you may be Doubting your New Story on your New Blank Slate, as it would be Natural at this point to Lose Trust in your Miracle (Chiron Initiates Eurydike 5 May 2024 UT 8:02). Poor-Sweetheart yourself – say to yourself, “You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Losing Trust in your New Story, aren’t you.” You were probably Thinking Logically again (Veritas Stationary 7 May UT 3:23), but Logic will always take us back to our original Assumptions, which were installed by our Patriarchal (Jupiter Initiates Heracles obN 4 May UT 17:42) Programmers.
“To Change Our Selves and the World, we need New Assumptions. Add an Appendix to your New Blank Slate, where you List the Assumptions you’d like to Build your New World upon, such as ‘Abundance – Having Enough to Share – is Every Being’s Birthright’ and the like – I’m sure you can Think Up Many.
“Since most of our Assumptions are Unconscious, though, Thinking won’t Change them. We’ll need PIAVAs to do that. As you develop and edit your New List of Assumptions that you want your New Life to Be Built Upon, PIAVA each of them into Effect. If you need Help with that, Let Me Know with a Comment, and I’ll Provide Suggestions.“
The Potential Crisis in Trust (Chiron-Eurydike) occurs in 21 Aries –
“Eventually we are drawn to the far places. We go where our past could never imagine we would wander. Now we are seeking something much greater and clearer. We are looking for Initiation. We are drawn to Inner Mastery. We’ve turned the world Inside Out, and we’ve found the missing Spark, Outside In, hidden yet Potent. Now we can turn the World into something Real and Enduring” (Lonsdale p.55).
The Overemphasis on Logic (more than usual – Veritas Stationary) happens in 17 Virgo – Hermit Ornery Due to Excessive Sensitivity (Lonsdale p.203).
And the Expansion of our Patriarchal Programming (Jupiter-Heracles), which of course increases our odds of Changing it, since it’s more Obvious and the First Step in Changing Karma is Noticing it, Lights Up 25 Taurus – Having Been Here Before, We’re Considered a Reliable Source, Outlasting Tests to the Contrary (Lonsdale p.89), the Home of Fixed Star Capulus – Rape (Brady p.191), one of the most Challenging Stars in the Sky.
These are immediately Followed by the 8 May Karma New Moon – that Conjoins asteroid Karma, which recently Strengthened, moving Out of Bounds on 2 May. This ties both of our May 2024 Big Issues together. Again, any Emphasis on Karma is Good, as it facilitates Letting It Go, by making it more likely that we’ll Notice and Identify it, which is a Prerequisite to Changing it, barring Divine Intervention. Of course if we can Solicit Divine Intervention with a well-placed PIAVA, that’s even Better, and it’s always worth a try!
However, all four of these astroevents are Non-Self-Resolving, meaning that they’re important Homework for our Personal Spiritual Evolution. The New Moon occurs in 19 Taurus – Giving Up Self-Image (Lonsdale p.83). We’ll cover our likely Resistance (Inner Arguments) in the next post.
Meanwhile, Suzanne Giesemann offers a fabulous simple but Profound exercise for us…
“What if you were to sit with eyes closed holding a stone in each hand? One is rough, the other smooth. As you run your fingers over both at the same time, you would hold in awareness the dual nature of smooth and rough, rough and smooth at the same time. It would not be long before the two would become one experience, yet for a while, you are aware of the dual nature. Do you not yet realize that this is how you are whilst in a body? Human and soul, soul and human at the same time. For a short while you can hold awareness of your dual nature, but after a while, the two become one experience. Balance the dual awareness for the greatest peace, the greatest joy. In this way you can have pain and pleasure within the human story and maintain soul awareness that all is well at the same time.”
The May Calendar is pretty much Complete, except for the usual Omissions and Corrections which we’ll Amend as we (or you) Find them, and any additional UTs that I Am (or You Are) Inspired to Calculate. I’m planning to write an article on How to Calculate a UT – let me know by email or Comment if you want a copy.
I’ve been watching the US NFL draft with this year’s crop of 330-pound all-muscle 6’8″ (150kg 2m) college “kids.” One of them has been assigned to each of us for the last several days, to Press Down on the top of our Heads, as part of their training. Isn’t it remarkable how we can Feel that Pressure without ever noticing them standing behind us!?! They’re due to be Letting Up on the Pressure at around 7pm London Time today, 2 May 2024 (UT 17:46), to Focus on other parts of their Training.
By Coincidence, Pluto is scheduled to Stand Still at that time, in preparation for its sprint back into the Relative Safety of Capricorn for another while. In Capricorn it was Respected for making “Reasonable” Choices and Decisions. Here in Aquarius it has had to deal with the Hypercompetitive Chaos that Huper Culture has Devolved into as our Patriarchy Programming Reacts, in the only way it knows – Projection – to the Threat of its Demise.
Pluto’s about Compulsion, and as it Stands Still it Demonstrates to us some of our Deepest Huper Karma, our Compulsion to Follow our Programming no matter how Dysfunctional it is to our Lives. As we’ve been saying, it’s not the Habits that we’ve been Trained into that are the Toxic part of our Karma, it’s the Compulsion to Use those Habits whether they’re Relevant and Useful to the Circumstances or not, rather than Trusting Our Intuition, which Responds to each Moment Uniquely.
I mean, can you Imagine Pluto, of all People, scurrying for Cover to Avoid all the Death Threats that Social Minia loves to carry as Click-Bait while the Titans of Minia Laugh all the way to the Bank?!? Pluto will rethink its Aquarian Strategy for six weeks starting 2 September, while Vacationing in Aruba (Capricorn), before coming back to “Civilized” Society (Aquarius) to Bash Heads in mid-October.
The Pluto Station is in 2 Aquarius –
“Ultimately transported by very high sources through ultrasubtle territory into wide-open possibilities. Being susceptible to snares and delays is part of the territory. Only as we take on and lose ourselves in phenomena do we realize what the desires and thought forms do to us. When we [Let Go], Great Space greets us” (Lonsdale p.342).
Lots of those Desires and Thought Forms included in the Pressure of the last several to many days, eh? Turns out the Pluto Station chart is Non-Self-Resolving,1 which is to say, Our Personal Evolutionary Homework. Chances are a lot of that Pressure has come from one part of our Programming Advising Wisely that we Set Self-Loving Boundaries,2 while another part Argues that we should Instead Focus on Healing our Fear of Trusting Our Own Values3 when our Programming might suggest Otherwise.
Regular Readers will know what I’m going to say next – that the Pressure arises from the word Instead, implying that it’s a Binary Choice. Not that it isn’t a Hard Problem, but it’s Complicated by our Programmed Patriarchal Belief that it’s Either One Or the Other.4 Figuring out how to do Both/And may not be Easy, but it will Resolve the Pressure created by the False Choice. When the False Choice is Expressed as we’ve Expressed it, it doesn’t seem to be Difficult to Choose Both. But if we replaced the second Argument with What Will People Think of me if I Trust My Own Values Instead of Doing What Muggles Would Praise? it’s a little more Tense.
What’s the Cost of Living it as an Either/Or?5 Mostly Guilt,6 and of course the Discomfort of a Argument that has no End because it’s really a Win-Win that’s Mislabeled as a Competition. Self-Arguing is very Stressful – it makes us Doubt our Competence. Our Evolution is Promoted by making whatever Adjustments we need to make to our Understanding of Our Values and Our Self-Love that will Remove their False Competition, and of course Learning that Self-Arguing is a Lose-Lose Practice that we want to Notice, Recognize, and Modity as soon as it Arises.
1 T-Square without Diamond Star. 2 Sappho (Self-Love) Merged with Pallas Out of Bounds (Exaggerated Boundaries) in Sagittarius (Letting Go) on one end of the Opposition in the Base of the T-Square. 3 Panacea Out of Bounds (Heal-All Amplified) Merged with Sedna (Converting Fear to Power) and Venus (Our Values) in Gemini (Flexibility) on the other end. 4 The Opposition or Second Harmonic, Duality. 5 The Focus of the T-Square, which is… 6 Damocles (Accountability) Merged with Gonggong (Intrusive Memories). We could even think of that as Random Memories, till our Intuition sees the Profound Multidimensional Connection with the False Dilemma between our Boundaries and our Values.
While the Pluto-Station chart isn’t Self-Resolving, it is Enhanced, by a Grand Trine in Water Signs, aka Emotional Harmony. Accountability for our Random Memories (Damocles-Gonggong) is in the Letting Go of Obsolete Emotional Baggage (Pisces) or Mutating Corner of the Grand Trine. The Creative Corner (Cancer) is occupied by Our Profound Instincts about our Beyond-Believable 5D Self (Asbolus OOB-Chaos OOB). Rebirth (Haumea) sits in the Stabilizing Corner (Scorpio).
WEEK-LEVEL COMMENTARY IN THE MAY CALENDAR
As we’re adding UTs and Initiations to the May 2024 Calendar, we’re also adding week-or-so-at-a-time Big-Picture Comments to the Calendar. Let me know if they Interrupt the Flow of the Calendar too much.
CODEPENDENCE AND SERVICE
How to tell the Difference? Basically, Codependence is when we provide Service that we can’t Afford to spare, when we Value another person’s or institution’s Needs and Wants more highly than our own. Ideally any Transaction involves an Equal Exchange of Energy. As you undoubtedly well know, that breaks down mostly when there’s an Imbalance of Power.
It’s not always an Easy Distinction to make, but it may be increasingly necessary over the next several days, as dwarf planet Hylonome (Codependence) Stands Still 29 April 2024 UT 22:44 in 29 Capricorn – Surpassing Negative Bias (Lonsdale p.337). The flip side of Codependence is Self-Sovereignty, an important facet of 5D, since 5D works because each person’s Unique Genius dovetails with everyone else’s, and one person’s Suppression of their True Self lowers the Frequency of the Whole Community.
Since the long and deep-seated HisStory of the Hierarchical and Competitive Patriarchy has left few if any of us with Experience of True Equality and True Collaboration, that Feels like a Stretch, but a Stretch worth Reaching For. At its Station, Hylonome/Codependence is Merged With Pluto/Compulsion and Osiris/Dismemberment of the Ego, with Pluto Stationary/Strong, so this Edge is not an Easy one.
We will likely Feel Compelled to Exercise our Codependent Habits, even as we Feel Compelled to Change some of them. Remember, the Habit Itself is a SuperPower, it’s the Unthinking Repetition that’s the Karmic Downside. There is Power in Repetition, which is why we developed the Habits in the first place. But Calling in the Wrong Ritual isn’t useful, and that’s what often Happens when we use our Habits of Service without Conscious Choice. It’s not about Eliminating a Habit, it’s about Taking a Moment to Choose, Intuitively, whether or not it’s the Most Effective Habit/Ritual to Use In This Moment.
The Glory of it, as is frequently the case these days, is that Dismemberment of the Ego takes place in the Context of Effortless Growth in Consciousness,1 and that can Make Room for the rapid Formation of a new “I Yam” which may be able to readily subvert our usual Ego-Death Panic about Loss of the Familiar, so we’re not Stuck with Humpty Dumpty or the King’s Men.
1 Stationary Hylonome-Pluto-Osiris is one corner of a Grand Trine (Dumb-Luck Blessings) with Healing of Fear (Panacea Out Of Bounds-Sedna) and Trance Reformation (Ka’epaoka’awela), and it’s also one corner of a Grand Cross (Spontaneous Expansion) along with Our Values (Venus), Rebirth (Haumea), and Ego Death of Guilt and Pride (Cyllarus OOB-Nemesis OOB-Niobe).
While the Hylonome Station chart is Fully Self-Resolving and Enhanced, its single Stress Point is the Amplified Truth of the Heart (Aletheia OOB), which is the Focus of a Diamond Star over a potential Argument (Opposition) between Our Self-Love (Sappho) and the Healing of Fear (Panacea OOB-Sedna). It’s also the Focus of a Love-Fest (Sextile/Partnership in the base of a Call to Pay Attention!/Finger of the Goddess) between the Calming of Aggression (Neptune-Mars) and Compulsive Dismemberment of our Codependent Ego (Pluto-Osiris-Stationary Hylonome).
The Enhancement (Grand Trine) links the Elbows of the Truth of Our Heart (Aletheia OOB), Our Values (Venus), and Lakshmi Shepherding Respect For All Things (Varda-Hopi), into a Loving Collaboration. This being Self-Resolving, our Role is to be Neutral Observers, as the Cosmos will in its own Time make an nD Resolution far better than any 2D Resolution we could Attempt, especially since the Relationships between the Truth of our Heart, the Calming of Aggression, and the Dismemberment of our Codependent Ego are Mystery Schools that are Not Accessible through Either/Or Thinking.
This is a Live Page – bookmark if you want to stay current with updates. It includes the Stations, Sign Changes, Out-of-Boundses, Initiations, and Moons all month. We’re also adding Comments to the Calendar whenever the Big Picture warrants it. We’ll add important UTs as we get them calculated, and fix errors and omissions as we encounter them – let me know if you notice any of those. We include the first portion of the following month because we’ll begin to Feel the major events in that time-space before the end of the current month, though May goes out like an Angry Lion and June enters like a Innocent Lamb, which is fortunate, because our Egos are likely to be Toast about then. Remember I Yam What I Yam!

| Yes, with Pluto Standing Still, May Begins Feeling Heavy. Lately, it hasn’t Felt that way as much as it used to, but back then we described Pluto Stations as Feeling like we were “Swimming through Jello.” As Profound as Mother Gaia’s Changes are Now, it may well Feel that way again. Just Slow Down, and PIAVA that the Changes Benefit All Beings, and as they do, they Improve Your Well-Being Immensely. That might Feel Selfish, but if you’re Paying Attention to this, you’ve well Earned It, even though “Earning It” is not something you really need to “Do” – it’s your Birthright, and only Obstructed by the Karma you’ve Chosen to Work On in this Lifetime. We All Thank and Honor You for that Choice, as it “Raises all of our Boats”! So Feel free to also PIAVA that All of your Karma is Kaput! All At Once, Bang! Just Like That! When this Works, you’ll feel like something is Missing, possibly something Panic-worthy. Embrace that Feeling – it means you now have a Blank Slate and you can Write a New Story on it for your Future. Do That, Lovingly and Joyfully, without Holding Back on any of your Greatest Dreams and Desires. It doesn’t need to be Perfect – start with the Big Picture, and know that you can Edit and Expand it whenever and however you Please. You Just Won the Jackpot! | ||

| Here you may be Doubting your New Story on your New Blank Slate, as it would be Natural at this point to Lose Trust in your Miracle (Chiron-Eurydike). Poor-Sweetheart yourself – say to yourself, “You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Losing Trust in your New Story, aren’t you.” You were probably Thinking Logically again (Veritas), but Logic will always take us back to our Assumptions, which were installed by our Patriarchal (Jupiter-Heracles obN) Programmers. To Change Our Selves and the World, we need New Assumptions. Add an Appendix to your New Blank Slate, where you List the Assumptions you’d like to Build your New World upon, such as “Abundance – Having Enough to Share – is Every Being’s Birthright” and the like – I’m sure you can Think up Many. Since most of our Assumptions are Unconscious, though, Thinking won’t Change them. We’ll need PIAVAs to do that. As you develop and edit your New List of Assumptions that you want your New Life to Be Built Upon, PIAVA each of them into Effect. If you need Help with that, Let Me Know with a Comment, and I’ll Provide Suggestions. | ||

| Between now and at least the 26th, we have an Incredible Opportunity to Heal (Isis) our Self-Confidence (Chariklo). Be especially Watchful for any Self-Doubt or Self-Judgment (Thereus) that Arises, and Regard it as the Signal to Ask Lord God Ganesh (Ganesa) to Remove Any and All Obstacles to Allowing Isis to Transform your Self-Judgment into Curiosity (Instead of saying “You Dumbshit!” to yourself, say “Wow, that was an Unexpected Intuition! I Wonder How that will Work Out!”) and Transform your Self-Doubt into Unconditional Self-Love and Self-Confidence. Self-Confidence is our Single Greatest Asset! | ||
| There’s a second Trend running from here to 30 May that Emphasizes Our Unexpired Karma (LachesisobN), as Sedna, Jupiter, LachesisobN, KarmaobN, Venus, and the Sun begin New Cycles with each other on the Cusp of Gemini: Jupiter-LachesisobN on the 20th at 29 Taurus (Full Self-Expression), Sedna-Jupiter-KarmaobN on the 26th-27th at 1 Gemini (Absence of Judgment), and LachesisobN-KarmaobN on the 30th at 3 Gemini (Commitment to Magic). The important Takeaway is that the Process for Letting Go of Unexpired Karma is the same as the Process for Letting Go of Expired Karma, and the Most Important facets of that are (1) to Avoid Reacting to the Void which follows by Reaching for the Patterns that have been Let Go, and (2) that you want to Keep the Habit itself as the SuperPower that it is, what you want to Let Go of is Using the Habit Mindlessly, whether it’s Useful and Relevant or not. Like saying “Fine” when Asked How You Are – you may want to continue to Use that Habit with People who aren’t Important to you, but with People in your Close Community you want to provide Detail instead. The involvement of Sedna means that we may deal with Fear Karma. Remember that Sedna is not so much about Fear itself, but Converting Fear to Power: Fear + Breathing = Excitement, Fear + Tapping = Grounding, Fear + Kegels = Power, through Slowing Time. The involvement of Venus and the Sun provides Checkpoints with our Deep Values and our Essence. | ||

| Arising here is a Second Important Opportunity to Work on Abandoning Self-Doubt, from an entirely Different Angle! Whenever Someone Else Doubts you (Kassandra), that’s your Signal to Ask Lord God Ganesh (Ganesa) – and/or any other Guide or Spirit or Incarnate Helper that you Work With (Notice that Isis, Magdalena/Mary Magdalene, and Varda/Lakshmi are all Hanging Out near here), to Remove Any and All Obstacles to Breaking the Habit (Orcus) of Letting their Doubt Interrupt your Self-Confidence. Their Doubt may Interrupt what they Manifest, but you don’t want it to Interrupt what you Manifest! | ||

| Now, through at least 2Jun, it may get Heavy again, depending on your natal planets near 6 Degrees. It was Heavy for many of us last May. Have you ever had a “friend” who loved to Remind you of What you Regret, What you Could Have Done Better, and All the Opportunities that you Missed Out On? That “friend” was Channeling Gonggong. Oh, it was You that was always Reminding you? Well, you don’t need to Channel Gonggong any more. If those Reminders sometimes (or always, perish the thought) Interrupt your Self-Confidence, PIAVA that Gonggong start being Accountable (Damocles) for that, and Command that they Stop Reminding you. Command that they Remind you instead that it’s NOT Self-Criticism, but Self-Love and Self-Confidence that Serve you, all Beings, and Mother Gaia. I Know, I can Hear you saying that Without Self-Criticism you’re Nothing but a Selfish Twit! So Feel free to also PIAVA that All of your Self-Critical Habits are Kaput! All At Once, Bang! Just Like That! Gone! When this Works, you’ll again feel like something is Broken or Shattered or Missing, possibly something Panic-worthy (Osiris obS). It’s a Perfect Time to Ask Isis for Her Healing Assistance. Embrace that Feeling – it means you now have a Blank Slate and you can Write a New Story on it for your Future. Do That, Lovingly and Joyfully, without Holding Back on any of your Greatest Dreams and Desires. It doesn’t need to be Perfect – start with the Big Picture, and know that you can Edit it whenever and however you Please. You Just Won another Jackpot! | ||

The Life Force (dwarf planet Varuna) has past its Peak Strength, but still Prominent – it will be 28 April 2024 before Varuna has moved a full arcminute (1/60th of a Degree) off its Station – Varuna’s average speed is only 1.3 Degrees per year. However, the River of Linear Time isn’t Drying Up like many of the Water Rivers on our Home Planet, so we have to Ask What Else? is going on…
Asteroid Icarus (Enthusiasm, Optional Burnout) is Warming Up to Stand Still very early on the 21st, an hour and a half after the Uranus-Jupiter Soul-Accelerating Initiation, but at the moment when I’m writing this, we’re Diving Deep into the first of our Ancillary Initiations that Color our Varunian Healing Adventures. Namely, asteroid Magdalena (the Grace of Mary Magdalene) is Initiating Venus (Our Heart’s Truth), in 18 Aries –
Irrepressible Intuition of the Extranormal (Lonsdale pp.52-3).
What I’m Experiencing though, is closer to 19 Aries –
“A bizarre situation. The self is obsessed with its demise, its relativity, the illusions it carries, the old worlds it perpetuates. The self is tied to its own endless story,” not able to make way just yet. “First we need to really become all those patterns we’re so eager to leave behind… [that] we were trying to run right by… Then we must submit to a whole different phase… of knowing what we’re giving up, and that something greater is coming… Get ready to make way, big time” (Lonsdale p.53).
In fact I looked at 19 Aries thinking it was 18 Aries, and thought, Wow, does that ever make sense! Takes me right back to the last paragraph of the previous post…
“We do recall that Basic Training for Enlightenment includes several semesters of Ego Death Training, right? After we Shake It Off we can’t just leave the hole there. It’ll fill up with distant cousins that’ll take us years to Recognize and Evict, if not More of the Same. Fill it with Yams, I Yam What I Yam. Or with What You Want – I Am Abundant, I Am In Love with Me, I Am Limitless, I Am Fun Embodied, I Am Glorious! Doesn’t matter if it’s True – look how it is with Self-Abuse. If we call Ourself enough Negative Names Long Enough, We Believe It. Just turn it around – call Yourself Grateful for What You Have, that’s the Best Way to get More of it.”
Another one of those Intuitions nee Mistakes that our Guides slip past the Left Brain when it’s busy trying to Think About Our Emotions! Right, this is Anxiety, the Most Important Emotion NOT to Garble with Thoughts, but rather to Embrace What and Where I’m Sensing in my Body.
Venus-Magdalena Energy Suggests that we’d be Ahead to Ask Mary Magdalene (or Lady Nada or any other Ascended Master or Goddess Energy that you Relate to Frequently) for their Grace and Assistance around your Heart’s Truth and your Values. The Initiation chart is Fully Self-Resolving and Enhanced, so Mary has arranged that for us already, though the chart suggests two Cautions or Advisories.
The Stress Point of one of the two Major Challenges, the one that’s Self-Resolving in the Creative Signs and Enhanced in the Earth (Matter) Signs, is Emphasized Sustainability (dwarf planet Ceres Out of Bounds) again. Earth Day is coming up in a few days after all. This is Sustainability in our Life Mission, Emotions, Thoughts, Cooperation with Spirit, and Outlook (Nodes-Venus-Mercury-Magdalena-Chiron), as was so Clearly Demonstrated to me this morning.
The Stress Point in the other Major Challenge, which is Self-Resolving in the Mutating Signs and Enhanced in the Air (Mental) Signs, is the Aboriginal Australian version of the Life Force, Amplified (dwarf planet Altjira Out of Bounds). If this Challenge weren’t Self-Resolving, we’d be Tasked with Recognizing that The Most Important Thing is Attending to Abuse and Privilege by Thoroughly Examining our own Codependent Patterns, and Changing Them (Saturn-Nessus Opposite Thereus-Veritas-Black Moon Lilith-Orcus).
Since these are Self-Resolving, we don’t need to take any of that on as a major Project, but rather to Watch It Happen as a Neutral Observer, and Be Mindful Not to Intervene or Interfere. Mary will be patching the holes in our roof in nD, far better than we would have been able to. By Watching How it Happens, we may Receive some Profound Insights.
This Magdalene-Venus Initiation is the first of three. The other two are…
Both occur in 21 Aries –
“Eventually we are drawn to the far places. We go where our past could never imagine we would wander. Now we are seeking something much greater and clearer. We are looking for Initiation. We are drawn to Inner Mastery. We’ve turned the world Inside Out, and we’ve found the missing Spark, Outside In, hidden yet Potent. Now we can turn the World into something Real and Enduring” (Lonsdale p.55).
Somewhat of a Bit Player in the 19 April Grace-Values Initiation, Chiron roars to the Fore in these two. We usually interpret Chiron as Despair and Miracles, because Chiron the Critter was the “Wounded Healer” and the “Unhealable Healer,” depending on which Story you Accept. In the earlier paragraph, we interpeted Chiron as Our Outlook, as the World looks very different when viewed through Despair, than when Miracles are Possible. The Miracle is simply Removing the Shit-Covered Glasses.
Our usual process for doing that is Poor-Sweethearting ourself. If we can Succeed at Changing the Subject, this works, simply because Empathy Heals even the Unhealable, and we’ve just swapped our previous Identity for one that’s Self-Empathizing. We can also interpret Chiron as Reframing Discouragement, or Converting Hopelessness to Possibilities.
In the two 21 Aries Initiations, the Self-Resolution disappears, as the planets that Mary brought in for Her Cycle with Venus, have changed since 19 April. We’ll get to those complexities later.
As Hank Wesselman (p.174) says,
“In the shamanist traditions, [the power that shamans, mystics, and medicine makers have always been able to access through the spirits] is considered to be the Life Force itself, highly dispersed throughout the universe, and found within everything everywhere. The Life Force is not a Being or Personality to be Worshiped, nor is it a Thing to be Revered. It is not a noun; rather it is a verb, a process that flows through Life everywhere and forever – an energy in action with which we all may come into a more intimate relationship through the shamanic path of Direct Revelation. This Life Force… is Available to us (on request) with access to tremendous Energy – enough Energy to Heal Any Illness.”
This Life Force, symbolized by dwarf planet Varuna, which along with Makemake (Manifestation) and Quaoar (Survival Instincts), is a close cousin to Pluto (Compulsion) in orbit and distance. Varuna is Stationary UT 2:56 on 19 April 2024, in 7 Leo, which implies –
Ready for Enlightenment (Lonsdale pp.163-4).
Planets reach their Peak of Influence on Huperity when they Station, or Stand Still in the Sky. Occurring twice a year, Stations are the Best time to Learn about any planet’s Energy. Varuna is also Out of Bounds to the North, meaning that it appears in the Sky Poleward of the Tropic of Cancer, which also makes its Impact Stronger. With the Life Force thus Doubly Strengthened, it’s not only the most prominent Energy between now and the end of April, but it’s also aided and abetted by a number of Initiations that also promote Healing. Needless to say, at this Time on Earth, Strengthening of the Life Force is badly needed, and appears almost Anomalous in the face of the Global Climate Apocalypse.
Traditional astrologers may not even be Aware of recently-discovered (2000) Varuna, and will almost Unanimously consider the 21 April Initiation of a New 13-year Jupiter-Uranus Cycle to be more Important. And it is Important. Uranus – Soul – is in Taurus – Matter, and represents Soul Descending into Flesh. Change your Perspective slightly, and what you see is Flesh Ascending. Jupiter means Expanding and Accelerating, so hold on to the Rail. It’s been a Hairy Ride already, and it may get Hairier, or we may Feel more Harried – another reason to emphasize the Importance of the Life Force.
We talk about the Jupiter-Uranus Cycle in our Ketchup IV post. I don’t believe we’ve mapped out its 22 Taurus Initiation yet though –
Overwhelming Focus on the Timeless Inner World (Lonsdale p.86).
The Uranus-Jupiter Initiation chart is Fully Self-Resolving and Enhanced except for one Challenge (Isolated Square), in the Creative Signs, to Balance Sustainability (Ceres OOB) against, and Integrate Sustainability with, a Complicated Matrix of the Heart’s Values, Grace, Revelation of Denial, and Reframing Despair to Miracles (Venus-Magdalena-Eris-Chiron).
The primary Stress Point in the U-J Initiation chart is Fate versus Choice – whether our a priori Beliefs render us a Champion or a Victim of the Changes that Uranus-Jupiter is likely to bestow (Moira at the Focus of the Diamond Star). U-J is also muddied a little by its simultaneous Merger with Unexpired Karma (Lachesis) and Hope (Pandora).
If we Choose to Champion the U-J Portal, we”ll use the Opportunity to Identify the Unexpired Karma for Dismissal. Remember that All Karma Died when Linear Time Died, so the fact that it’s Unexpired matters little. Expired or Not, Karma Sticks Around because We Grasp It, not because It Grips Us. It’s what we Grew Up With, what we Expect, and what we Feel Lost Without, so the Challenge, as Usual, will be to Identify What’s Been Made Redundant, and Actively Let It Go.
The Healing Initiations that we’ll be working with in conjunction with the Varuna Station include the Heart’s Truth with each of the other three planets in the (Venus-Magdalena-Eris-Chiron) Matrix that we have to Balance and Integrate with Sustainability, as well as Grace with Reframing Despair. As we review these ancillary Initiations, we’ll keep Sustainability in mind.
The Varuna Station chart is also Fully Self-Resolving and Enhanced (a Grand Cross in the Creative Signs, and Diamond Stars in the Stabilizing and Mutating Signs). The Stress Points are the Boundaries of Self-Love (what else is new? – Pallas-Sappho), and Overenthusiasm (Icarus). What a Bummer – too much Enthusiasm. Varuna OOB is however Merged with Ego Death Exaggerated (Cyllarus OOB), so we won’t Escape that – which is actually a Boon, since any Change of Pattern without a corresponding Change of Identity will be Temporary.
We do recall that Basic Training for Enlightenment includes several semesters of Ego Death Training, right? After we Shake It Off we can’t just leave the hole there. It’ll fill up with distant cousins that’ll take us years to Recognize and Evict, if not More of the Same. Fill it with Yams, I Yam What I Yam. Or with What You Want – I Am Abundant, I Am In Love with Me, I Am Limitless, I Am Fun Embodied, I Am Glorious! Doesn’t matter if it’s True – look how it is with Self-Abuse. If we call Ourself enough Negative Names Long Enough, We Believe It. Just turn it around – call Yourself Grateful for What You Have, that’s the Best Way to get More of it.
