Rest Is Great But You Could Hold the Knockout Drops

Astrologically we’re in between Portals, so we’re up for a bit of a Rest. Experientially, at least hereabouts, it feels more like we’re Recovering from a Extreme Exertion, the kind where you don’t feel Rested till a week later. I mean, when I Sleep nine hours several days in a row, shouldn’t I feel Awake during the other fifteen? I’m a Biased Observer here, since the Biggest Challenge of last week’s New Moon chart was a dead ringer for the Biggest Challenge in my natal chart – same Degrees, different Planets (some of them) – and the New Moon’s second-Biggest Challenge sat on my natal Moon.

Which doesn’t Explain why most everyone else I know is still Groggy too. So I’ll go ahead and speak as if some of my Experience has been Universal, which of course is always true on some level. The signatures of Major Ego Death smell stronger than the local paper mill – I’m glad someone here seems to remember how to drive. I know I’ve taken all the correct turns, and this is my own neighborhood, but nothing looks familiar. Was that there before? Lots of things I could or should be doing, and I’ve had plenty of Sleep, but all I want to Do is Nap. Or Space Out. It’s an Effort to Do anything but that, even when I can. Who the Hell Am I, Anyway?

Meaning that we’ve been through Big Changes, as befits the astrodetails of the Big New Moon Challenges.¹ While dancing with several Physical Challenges, I’ve Discovered that to Find Healing I’m going to have to Seek Beyond the Current Lifetime. So while I have Personal Experience with neither Afterlife Specialist Dr. Scott Taylor nor Psychic Mark Anthony (who introduces Dr. Taylor), I plan to watch Dr. Taylor’s free 6 April 2023 presentation on Discover the Wonders of the Bi-Location Phenomenon, which promises to Explore “the mysteries of the non-physical universe.” I’m mentioning that here in case anyone else is called to it.

¹ T-Square to Mars OOB (Exaggerated Action) Merged with Chaos OOB (Unlimited Potential Amplified) and Ganesa OOB (Lord God Ganesh, Remover of Obstacles, on Steroids), from Ceres (Sustainability) Debating (Opposite) the New Moon Merged with Heracles (Replacing the Patriarchy). And Pan (The Godhead of Nature) Merged with Sedna (Converting Fear to Power) Square to Saturn (The Most Important Thing) Merged with Damocles (Accountability) and Icarus (In Ambition, Moderation Wins).

And while we’re at it, Marie Manucheri invites us to join her in the free 10-14 April 2023 Psychic & Intuitive Abilities Summit. She says, “You’ve heard me talk about logic versus insight. Knowing the difference – and when to use each – assists all of us in raising our vibration and unlocking our magnificence so we can access our unique intuitive abilities and answers to some of our deepest questions.  If you’d like to learn more, I hope you’ll join me for my session, ‘Logic or Insight? The Power is in Knowing the Difference’ at The Shift Network’s 2023 Psychic & Intuitive Abilities Summit next month.” Register free at https://psychicintuitiveabilitiessummit.com/. I don’t know most of the other speakers, but I don’t want to miss the sessions by Robert Moss and David Spangler.

While studying the Relationship between the Mars-Chaos-Ganesa T-Square and my natal T-Square, and in the Spirit of Nothing Changes Until We Accept It Exactly As It Is, it’s become Clear that it would Behoove me to Let Go Of my Judgment of the Patriarchy, which I’m Aspiring to Do. In the context of this, my favorite magazine is Permaculture Design Magazine, the latest issue of which includes articles on…

• The Human Ego-Predicament: Overshoot and the Population Conundrum
• Dismissal of ‘Population Alarmism’ Is Rooted in Pronatalist Ideology
• On the Growth Ahead: The Final Doubling

…and book reviews of…

• The Need to Be Whole: Patriotism and the History of Prejudice
• Bright Green Lies – How the Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It

All of which Reminds me of something I Learned several years back at the Global Earth Repair Conference, that while the CO₂ Cycle might Impact some 10% or less of the Earth’s Surface Temperature, the H₂O Cycle Impacts more like 70-80% of the Earth’s Surface Temperature. We shift the H₂O Cycle by Changing Vegetation, especially Trees. The Permaculture Design Magazine articles point out that if we as a Culture Implement the full Hoped-For Conversion from Oil to Green Electricity, we’ll actually Increase our Negative Impact on Nature because of the sheer size of the Solar Farms and associated Infrastructure.

The Oligarchs often present that argument, but this is the first time I’ve seen competent environmentalists discuss it. Trees aren’t good acreage-fellows with Solar Farms, nor with Wind Farms. There are some things that can be done with shade-tolerant crops, but basically, Solar Farms and Food Crops will ultimately Compete for Sunlight, and the rest of Nature will lose out. It’s time for me to Focus my Attention on the sort of Local World that I Want to Live in, and Let the Rest of the World do the same.

The Moon is now Out of Bounds North, since 26 March (PDT 12:46 am, BST 8:46 am, IST 1:16 pm, AEST 5:46 pm), till 31 March (PDT 6:41 am, BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm, AEST 11:41 pm). If Wall Street was following the Moon Cycles like it often does, it would have crashed today. Instead, after crashing last week because of the Interest Rate Dramas – which are more Powerful than the Moon – it’s Recovering mildly.

Asteroid Pan, our astrosymbol for the OverLighting God of Nature, goes Out of Bounds (He Gets Serious About Protecting Nature) 28 March (PDT 6:41 am, BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm, AEST 11:41 pm), until 13 July 2023. He was in Taurus (relative Stability in Nature) during June and July of 2022, and again from 8 November 2022 to 30 March 2023. If you’ve been in California, Mississippi, or several other places, that was some pretty Horrific Stability.

On 30-31 March (PDT 4:33 pm 30th, BST 12:33 am 31st, IST 5:03 am 31st, AEST 9:33 am 31st) Pan enters Gemini (Relative Instability and Change in Nature) again, till 8 June 2023. Maybe those “Stable” Floods over the recent Winter indicate that the Drought in the Western US is finished. “Holding our Breath” for that isn’t a very Powerful Strategy, but it might work.

We’re already under the Influence of a Strong Emphasis on Assistance with our Manifestations (asteroid Artesian Out of Bounds, and Stationary until 31 March-1 April, PDT 6pm 31st, BST 2am 1st, IST 6:30 am 1st, AEST 11am 1st) in 13 Leo, Compulsion to Let Go of All Attachment to Personal Identity, which Feels like what’s going on. It Feels Natural, though, so far just Relaxed, not Scary or Effortful, and part of Who the Hell Am I, Anyway? but not in any Negative sense. It Feels so Natural that I’m barely Aware of it, though when I Inquire, I definitely Notice a Big Difference from last week.

So this week is an Excellent Opportunity to really Get Serious with our PIAVAs and other Manifestations, Monitoring our State of Mind to censor any Habitual Nay-Saying or other Limitations to our Owning What We Want. Breathe Deeply both In and Out through your Nose, to Trigger your Vagus Nerve and qwell Fight-Flight-Freeze. Monitor your Emotional State to stay Attuned to Peace and Joy, because your Emotional State while you’re Manifesting is what you’ll Manifest More Of. We Cleared Away a huge load of Karmic Limitation under that Mars OOB-Chaos OOB-Ganesa OOB Heracles New Moon, so don’t Hold Back on your Wants.

Next week, 2-9 April, we’re back in the thick of it with more Karmic Clearing.

Citrine, Quartz tinted Yellow or Orange by Iron Impurities, is a Powerful Support for any Second (I Want) and Third (I Will) Chakra Pursuits, be they Biological, Emotional, or matters of Intent. Spend a few minutes Gazing into this Wand with your Eyes Relaxed before you Focus your Attention on your PIAVAs or other Manifestation techniques. If any particular Swirl or Whoosh or Mirror or Burst or Streak starts to Draw you Into the Crystal, Let Yourself be Taken right Inside as you Begin your Meditation…

Back when there was still a Radio Shack, they used to sell a very powerful little hand microscope with a light inside, about the size and shape of a long pack of cigarettes. Being among the harder of Minerals, Sand Grains are often mostly Quartz. I used to collect little jars of Sand whenever I was near a Beach, and the scope magnified enough to see the colors and other details on every tiny Grain of Sand. Some friends of ours Lived for a while on the Oregon Coast, and when I got home with a handful of Sand from their Beach and looked at it with the scope, It Was All Citrine! It was Mind-Blowing. Several times I took a small collection of gorgeous Crystals, along with the microscope and a few Sand samples, to show to children that were being home-schooled in groups. After one of them looked at the Sand through the scope, that was it. They ignored the larger Crystals and queued up to peer through the tiny window at the Magnified Sand!

Heavy Northern Spring/Southern Fall 2

We can’t get much better Grace than having Lord God Ganesh, Out of Bounds (Amplified), looking over our Mars-Chaos – both Amplified – Challenge at the 20-22 March 2023 Heracles-Aries Equinox New Moon. Nevertheless it will still be a Sterling idea to Remember to Ask, “Lord God Ganesh, Please Remove All Obstacles to” Whatever You’re Working On, even if you don’t Remember till after you encounter an Obstacle…

So what sort of Challenge might we Expect? While we think of Mars as Action, it never hurts to be on the Lookout for Anger when Mars is Lit Up, and as Repressed as our Unlimited Potential (Chaos) has been, we undoubtedly have a decent-size Reservoir of I-Coulda-Been-A-Contenda! Anger inside us. If we don’t have such a Personal Stash, no big deal, just reach into the Unconscious for a helping of the Universal Dissatisfaction with Programmed and Karmic Limitations.

Anger is an excellent Motivator for Acting to Set Boundaries against Abuse and other Limitations. You want Anger to be a Motivator, not a Modus Operandi. While there may be times when Picking a Fight serves your Needs, it’s not usually the most Effective Strategy, unless you’re the Aspiring Beta Dog in a Wolf Pack and you Believe you can Win. As a Doorway into Repressed Unconscious Contents, though, Anger can be an Excellent Tool. When was the last time you were inspired to call someone an Idiot and Wish them Unwell?

If you forget about that Idiot and trace your Irritation back to More Significant Origins, you may tap into Ancient Karma that’s Ready to be Let Go Of. War Criminal Pootin’, for instance, Believes he’s Avenging his Ancestors in Ukraine, but the original Kievan Rus was founded by Swedes and Lithuanians and Cossacks, among the many races that had crisscrossed the Breadbasket of Eurasia over the centuries. As they say, Justice is spelled “JustUs.”

When we regard any and all Obstacles as Teachings, it’s easy to see that Repression of our Unlimited Potential has served to Ground us in our Animal Nature, as part of Hybridization between Animal and Spirit. We’re too Hupercentric to accord the same Hybridization to other Critters besides our own twisted species. The Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom TV series Programmed my generation to Believe that Nature is “Red in Tooth and Claw” in order to sell us Life Insurance.

The Obstacles Ganeshi has been Strategically leaving in place hereabouts are excellent Reminders that For Manifestation to Work, We Need to Start with Gratitude and Hold High Vibrations, not Start with Expectation and Indulge Disappointment. When we aren’t ready to Receive, the Universe always Answers our Requests Initially with Illustrations of What Else We Need to Let Go Of. It may not be enough to Want It So Bad We Can Taste It, we may also need to Raise Our Vibes to a Higher Level.

Chaos OOB (Unlimited Potential Exaggerated) Initiates Mars OOB (Amplified Action) 22-23 March 2023 (PDT 10:55 pm 22nd, GMT 5:55 am 23rd, IST 11:25 am 23rd, AEST 3:55 pm 23rd) in 29 Gemini (Embrace of the Unconscious to Bring Light), adjacent to the Fixed Star Betelgeuse (Focus on Achievement and Discovering The Hollowness of Being Outer-Directed). Of course we can’t Manipulate the Unconscious Directly, we have to PIAVA or Petition it. The Cycle lasts 18 months, till 11 September 2024. The Waxing Square, when the Cycle goes Mainstream, occurs 31 August 2023, from 3 Libra (Larger than Life, but sometimes Missing Important Details).

Mars OOB enters Cancer (Nurturance, Compassion) 25 March (PDT 4:45 am, GMT 11:45 am, IST 5:15 pm, AEST 9:45 pm). 1 Cancer is Surrender to Spirit, and of course is also adjacent to Betelgeuse (Focus on Achievement and Discovering The Hollowness of Being Outer-Directed).

BST (British Summer Time) replaces GMT at 1am 26 March (GMT 1am becomes BST 2am).

The Moon goes Out of Bounds (Panic is more Likely) over the Northern Hemisphere 26 March (PDT 12:46 am, BST 8:46 am. IST 1:16 pm, AEST 5:46 pm) in 4 Gemini (Compulsively Drawn Toward the Ephemeral) till 31 March (PDT 6:41 am, BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm, AEST 11:41 pm) in 8 Leo (A Charmed Life on the Edge between Pride and Modesty, with Need for Vigilance against Jealousy).

Ganesa OOB (Remover of Obstacles on Steroids) Initiates Mars OOB 6-7 April (PDT 6:37 am 6th, BST 2:37 pm 6th, IST 8:07 pm 6th, AEST 12:37 am 7th) in 7 Cancer (Returning to Source), adjacent to the Fixed Star Mirzam (An Embodied Mysterious Message). The Cycle lasts 3 years, till 19 May 2026 (UT 17:47). The Waxing Square, when the Cycle goes Mainstream, occurs 1 February 2024, from 22 Capricorn (Surrendering Personal and Ancestral History).

Zircon, one of the most Ancient of Crystals, is a good Stone to Contemplate to Gently Touch Deep Anger, and to Ground one from Overwhelm. Zircon is a simple Zirconium Nesosilicate, the “Nesos” being Crystals with their Silicate units occurring in isolation, not in pairs or sheets or rings, making the Mineral very Dense because the Silicates can be packed more closely. For the same reason, Zircon is more Long-Lived than most Minerals because its Hardness, and lack of Cleavage Planes in the Crystal Structure, makes it almost indestructible. It’s often Radioactive from Thorium or Uranium contaminants, and always contains some Hafnium substituting for the Zirconium. Rogue Neutrons pass right through Zirconium, but stop cold at Hafnium. So Zirconium is used for the Fuel Rods in Nucular Reactors, and Hafnium for the Control Rods. Both are mined from Zircon Sand. The transparent blue Ziron Gems are created by heating natural Zircon.

If you lean toward the Passive-Aggressive, or prefer that as your method of Venting Excess Anger, you probably want to Contemplate Amblygonite instead. It’s a Phosphate of Aluminum and Lithium or Sodium. It’s an excellent counterpoint to Intense Mental Activity, and Calms Nervousness of any kind.

Heavy Northern Spring/Southern Fall

Spring in the North and Fall in the South officially begin when the Sun crosses the Equator on it’s Northward journey, thus by definition in Tropical astrology entering Aries, 20-21 March 2023,¹ but it’s the Moon that Triggers our Experience of astroevents, and the New Moon, occurring in the first Degree of Aries almost a full day later,² is our Real benchmark.

¹ Sun enters Aries 20-21 March 2023 PDT 2:24 pm 20th, GMT 9:24 pm 20th, IST 2:54 am 21st, AEST 7:24 pm 21st.
² New Moon 21-22 March PDT 10:23 am 21st, GMT 5:23 pm 21st, IST 10:53 pm 21st, AEST 3:23 am 22nd, in 1 Aries, Single-Minded, Hard-Working, Opinionated.

As we mentioned in the previous post, “In her latest blog post at https://walkinginbothworlds.com/2023/03/09/the-final-frontier/, NathaJay says, ‘If we wish to quickly land on our highest timeline, we must consciously align with our own Higher Self.‘ ” In our post, we related that to the then-simultaneous Station (Enhancement) of dwarf planet Chaos, which means not Disorder but our True Self when stripped of our Programming and Karma, aka our Unlimited Potential, or what can be called our Higher Self or Soul Self, our Wholistic and Holographic Connection to Source. Chaos is Out of Bounds, or Amplified.

It’s not what she actually said, but when I read that in NathaJay’s blog, while War was Escalating and Banks were Failing, what I “heard” in my head was a warning that 3D may be about to get pretty Scrambled, and we may need our 5D Skillset – “our highest timeline” – sooner than expected. The Equinox New Moon is Merged with asteroid Heracles, One of the Hit Men that Dr. Zeuss sent out to Assassinate the Symbols of Feminine Power. It’s no surprise that Heracles would attend the Funeral of the Patriarchy, with its signature Power-Over Wars and Banks.

The major Challenge in the Heracles-Equinox New Moon chart³ is the Initiation of a New Cycle between dwarf planet Chaos Out of Bounds (Our Unlimited Potential Amplified), and Mars Out of Bounds (Exaggerated Actions and Emotions), in 29 Gemini (Embrace of the Underwhere to Bring Light), Watched Over by Lord God Ganesh, Remover of Obstacles (asteroid Ganesa). That’s Intense and gets complicated, so we’ll plan to talk about it in more detail in the next post.

³ Single non-Self-Resolving T-Square to Mars OOB-Chaos OOB-Ganesa OOB from Heracles-New Moon Opposite Ceres (Sustainability).

Nothing But Lots Going On

In her latest blog post at https://walkinginbothworlds.com/2023/03/09/the-final-frontier/, NathaJay says, “If we wish to quickly land on our highest timeline, we must consciously align with our own Higher Self.” And it’s probably no Coincidence that on 11 March 2023, the dwarf planet Chaos was Standing Still in the Sky. Chaos is a Speck far too tiny for us to see. At its Closest Approach, once every 300 years, it’s 40 times as distant from the Sun as we are, and if it came to visit us (and accomplished a Very Soft Landing), it would take up only two thirds of France. It’s 15% furthur away than Pluto, and only one fourth as wide. So of course it’s Trivia to us.

Except that it Lives in the Darkness, in the Unconscious. There’s little argument that the overwhelming majority of “our” Emotions, Thoughts, and Behaviors are determined not by our Ego or our Soul or even our Circumstances, but by the Unconscious. It’s not even “our” Unconscious, because Identity is Egoic, not Universal. We have some Affinity with a microscopic portion of the Vast Sea of The Unconscious, but we have to Share even that tiny slice with an infinite number of other Entities. And it’s very name is a rather silly Projection of the Ego, as it’s “Unconscious” only to our puny Ego.

Of course The Unconscious has a Consciousness – every Entity does. It’s phenomenally Narcissistic of us to assume that we’re the Only ones. The Consciousness of The Unconscious is probably as close as we can Conceive of God/Goddess, to the extent that we can. (Not to be Confused with Freud’s Subconscious, which from the Ego’s Perspective is more Satanic, though it’s alternate name, Lucifer, does Identify it as part of the Unconscious. In astrology, the Subconscious is symbolized by the South Node.) The Edge of Darkness is a Magnifying Lens. The tinier and more distant are the Specks in the Unconscious, the Greater their Power over us.

Dwarf planet Chaos was not named for Disorder, or even for Chaos Theory, which is only a bit more Organized than Disorder. Chaos was the Greek label for what Existed before Zeus Declared the Patriarchy. To Zeus that was Nothing, though of course it was actually the Matriarchy. Zeus’s Hit Men Perseus and Hercules were sent to Assassinate the Symbols of Feminine Power, because people like Medusa and Hydra (at right) Terrified the Patriarchy. We regard Chaos as implying our Unlimited Potential, our True Self, as what’s left once we scrape off the veneers of Programming and Karma.

Before we knew that there was anything else out there in the Darkness beyond it, we regarded Pluto as the symbol of the Universal Unconscious. It’s a good example of the Magnifying Lens of the Edge of Darkness. It’s a tiny dot compared to Neptune, but everyday astrologers assigned it to the likes of Nuclear Power, whether tethered to your toaster, or Not.

Now that Chaos has had its Day in the Light, and Saturn has entered Pisces, the rest of March is pretty Quiet, giving us a welcome Break, which we’ve well Earned. The Moon does go Out of Bounds over the Northern Hemisphere again, from 26-31 March, which could get Exciting as our Emotional Sensitivity again Blooms. More Confrontation with Pootin’? More delayed fallout from the Regional Banks? More Manufactured Crises we can Blame on Republicrats or Democans? Or Both? More Economic and Environmental Collapse?

Pluto moves into Pisces on 23 March, but the Impact of Sign Changes are seldom Sudden and Drastic. Pluto is however Slowing Down, to Stand Still on 1 May. By the end of March Pluto is moving less than one arcminute (a Sixtieth of a Degree) per day, while we usually consider a planet to be Stationary or Strong as long as it’s within one Degree of its Station. By that measure, Pluto has been Stationary since 24 February, the anniversary of Pootin’s Invasion. So it would be Denial to assume that we aren’t already in the propwash of Pluto’s Mayday Station. Interesting choice of dates.

Unlike the Quiet in this last half of March, past the Ides, April is quite Busy, with fourteen Stations, many piled on top of one another. It gets very Confusing when Stations play dogpile, just as it does when we have Stelliums in our natal chart. A Stellium is three planets together. Since each planet represents a quanta of Meaning, when three Merge, we’re Confronted with entirely new Meanings of things. Look at the crushing social Confusion over having Maleness and Femaleness Intermingled. Entire States are making that illegal in the US, and basing Presidential Campaigns on it!

Imagine how Confusing it would be if Obedience and Self-Hate and Mistrust were Merged! Oh wait, half the country’s already doing that, aren’t they, and Feeling Great about it. They call it “MAGA.” Well, what would it look like to have Inner Guidance, Self-Love, and Trust all Merged into one Meaning? Hmm, might that Feel sorta like Being Aligned with our own Higher Self? Of course if we’re no longer stuck in 2D Linearity, we’ll Realize that Obedience and Inner Guidance are the same Energy, just viewed from different sides of the Border Wall between them. Same with Self-Hate versus Self-Love, and Mistrust versus Trust, and Ego-Self versus Soul-Self. Just Word Games.

If you haven’t already Recognized this Civil War within yourself, and its Mirror in Politics, you’ll probably see it pretty Clearly during the first week of May, when Ixion (Social Convention), Sappho (Self-Appreciation), and Eurydike (Trust) are all Strong (Stationary) at the same time. If you’ve ever spent much time navigating in Total Darkness, you understand how easy it is to get totally Turned Around without knowing it. Eventually you can’t even tell Up from Down, as the Ghosts of many Ex-Pilots will Attest.

In the Unconscious, Opposites are Equals. There are no Heads or Tails, only Coins, with very thin Edges. Where do we Live most of the time? In the Unconscious. Here’s a great quote from the oh-so-contemporary Debate over the oxymoronic “Artificial Intelligence”…

“Such [Artificial Intelligence] systems have inspired boundless optimism around this technology’s potential, with some seeing a sense of intelligence almost on par with humans. The systems, though — as critics and the AI researchers are quick to point out — are merely repeating patterns and associations found in their training data without a clear understanding of what it’s saying or when it’s wrong” (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/03/14/gpt-4-has-arrived-it-will-blow-chatgpt-out-water/).

“Merely repeating patterns and associations found in [our] training data without a clear understanding of what [we’re doing] or when it’s wrong” – isn’t that Exactly what We do until we clear away our Programming and Karma?

Fortunately, on 1 April (April Fools Day!), Artesian (Assistance with Manifestation) is Stationary or Strong, so we can use the Enhanced Emotional Power of the Out-of-Bounds Moon between 26 and 31 March, while Artesian is Standing Still, to PIAVA that we Use the Energy of the upcoming triple Station to Clear Away as much Programming and Karma as we possibly can! (Artesian is within one Degree of its Station from today, 14 March, on). Remember that We Create More of What We Feel, so PIAVA while you’re Feeling Strong and Upbeat. Take a dozen deep Inhales and long Exhales, both through your nose, to increase your élan.

April goes on… The Stations of Pholus (Being Fully Responsive to…) and Quaoar (Our Survival Instincts) are Merged 6-8 April. Pholus-Quaoar signifies the Climate Change Challenge with all it’s Apocalyptic Correlates that we’re immersed in.

Then while the Moon is Out of Bounds South between 9 and 14 April, the Stations of Samadhi (Enlightenment) and Cyllarus (Ego Death) Merge – another great Programming- and Karma-Clearing Opportunity.

Then again between 16 and 19 April, while Venus (our Values) is going Out of Bounds (Being Exaggerated), the Stations of Sisyphus (Learning that it’s the Journey that’s of Greatest Value, Not the Destination), Varuna (The Life Force), and Requiem (Ego Death Again) are Merged – yet another Fantastic Opportunity.

All while Pluto (Compulsion) is Standing Still. Pluto is synonymous with Addiction, but by now you know that if you have Addiction in the palm of your hand, all you need to do to Revert it, is to Turn Your Hand Over. In the Unconscious, where we Live most of the Time, Addiction is the same as Not-Addiction. Our Addictions, including our Addiction to our Programming and Karma, are merely repeating patterns and associations found in our training data without a clear understanding of what they’re saying or when they’re Self-Sabotaging.

The Pluto Station is Merged with a Station of Hylonome (Codependence, or Trusting Others more than Ourself), so the whole month of April (and March – the Pluto Station technically started 24 February, when Pluto was one Degree from its Station) are Excellent Times to Bring our Self-Trust back to our Self.

“The good news is that trust can grow as a result of what you are taught about yourself by other people. Unfortunately, this is also the bad news. As we know, children often believe what other people tell them; [we] don’t conduct [our] own independent investigation and assessment of whether or not the information [we]’re getting from others is true and accurate. Then [we] grow into adults, still believing the same, potentially faulty information. As a result, a huge part of [our] journey to self-trust will be learning how to deprogram [our]self from all the misinformation that has highjacked [our] mind since childhood” (Iyanla Vanzant, Trust: Mastering the Four Essential Trusts, p.38).

And of course, before that. We wouldn’t be dealing with Life-Long Trust Issues if we hadn’t volunteered in the Lightworker’s Lounge to come down here and work on Trust Karma.

Marchuary II

We’ve revised and greatly expanded the earlier Welcome to Marchuary post, making it a virtual Catalog of March 2023 astroevents, though we may not be finished yet…

For instance, there are several New Cycles beginning today, 9 March, and tomorrow…

Aletheia (Truth of the Heart) Initiates Mars (Action), both Out of Bounds (Magnified) 8-9 March (PST 10pm 8th, GMT 6am 9th, IST 11:30 am 9th, AEST 4pm 9th), in 23 Gemini (Enlightenment), the home of two Stars, El Nath (Thor’s Hammer) and Phact (Exploring the Unknown). The Mars-Aletheia Cycle is 3 years long, and the Initiation speaks well for the likelihood that the Truth of our Heart will remain Our Commitment to Enlightenment, so both will be Guiding our Actions for the next 3 years. It will have Challenges (3 Naked Squares), including…

• Confusion Over What Continues to Serve the Patriarchy (Mars-Aletheia Square Heracles-Neptune),
• New Energies from the Unconscious will Create Conflict between our Old Values and our Partnerships, but it is Our Partnerships that Will Win the Conflicts, Causing Us to Revise Our Understanding of Our Own Values (Hylonome Square Venus-Eris, Hylonome Quincunx Mars-Aletheia), and
• We Can Expect Ongoing Difficulties Creating a New, Productive, Collaborative Relationship with Nature, until we Surrender to Letting Pan Run the Show (Klotho Square Pan, Pan Trine Hylonome).

The Initiation chart is empty on the right-hand side, meaning that it will be Hard Work for us to Adapt to the Cooperative Nature of 5D and Surrender our Independence and Self-Sufficiency.

When our Shame Arises, we will Need to Embrace it, in order to Clear it in order to Honor our Commitment to Enlightenment. It would work best if we could just be Honest and Forthright about it – “Oh Gosh, that brings up my Shame. I Hate Feeling Shame, and it’s so Embarrassing. I Feel so Small.” Of course we Feel Small, we Regress to the Age we were when our Programmers Shamed us. The only way to Clear it is to Share it. Believe me, so many people will be so Grateful that you are able to Model this for them (Salacia Initiates Phaedra in 8 Aries on 10 March).

There’s more…

You Poor Sweetheart, You Don’t Feel Like Celebrating, Do You.

No Biscuits. Why should we Celebrate when Our Emotions (Pisces) Become Top Priority (Saturn)?¹ Especially when it’s our Bummer Emotions that seem to be Surfacing, and we don’t even know why – other than our Tired Old Excuses that don’t actually work any more to Allow us to Blame Something or Someone Else. A quote from Lonsdale (p.372) is a must…

“If we plug into, and stay plugged into, mechanical, mental worlds, all the life force gets drained out of us… But… There is this place where we get swept away and don’t arrive in a space we could ever call our own… Present to our own personal soul in the midst of life is an achievement. It’s something to live for. It’s the one thing we cannot do without. To get there, to come back from those strange places, we learn how to feel what we don’t know we’re feeling, see what we have yet to affirm we can see, and pick up on those hidden treasures.“

Time to Rank our Values, to see Exactly What Is The Most Important Thing (Saturn). Is it Feeling Good – wouldn’t that be Wonderful?

Or is it Letting Go of all those Bummer Emotions once and for all? That’s what Pisces Does for a Living after all. And isn’t that what our Lust for 5D is all about anyway? It’s kind of a Test to Verify whether we’re Really Committed to Enlightenment.² We’re Lucky that “the Stars” have Conspired to make it fairly Easy for us to reframe these Bummer Emotions as Entertainment, on several fronts.

First, the Major Challenge in the 7 March 2023 Full Moon is all about Being Present to our own personal soul in the midst of life, and it’s Self-Resolving (the Challenge will Resolve itself if we, as Paul would say, Let It Be).³ Second, the Full Moon is Intimately Related to a Particularly Powerful Configuration that makes Breaking Patterns as easy as Cracking Eggs, that Allows us to Shift Big Patterns by simply making Adjustments.⁴

And the Full Moon itself is Merged with the Principle of Pattern-Breaking (Orcus), including Tough Hombres (Thereus).

It’s not just Saturn in Pisces that’s making Life seem like a Bother. In a few days, we begin a brand new Cycle about Expanding Despair and Miracles (Jupiter-Chiron),⁵ and of course we’re starting with the Despair. That’s where the Poor-Sweethearts come in. The easiest way to Shift Discouragement or Despair is to Poor-Sweetheart it. Of course we’ll have to Change the Subject Rigorously and perhaps Iteratively, maybe even resorting to “You Poor Sweetheart, you’re having Trouble Changing the Subject, aren’t you.“

As if all this isn’t Enough Already, this Expanding Despair and Miracles Initiation is a Triple Initiation with Our Unconscious Limitations (Vesta-Jupiter-Chiron), all on the same day in the same Degree. This is just a total Repeat of everything we’ve just been talking about – feel what we don’t know we’re feeling, Let Go of all those Bummer Emotions once and for all, Break Life-Long Addictions, and Embrace our Held Emotions. We’ll talk more about these Cycles next time.

You know the Cosmos is Serious when it Stutters and Repeats itself using entirely Different Metaphors!

This Seasoned Time-Traveling Morganite (Pink Beryl) Crystal from across the Galaxies, will help with these Assignments. She’s Seen It All, and knows all the Cosmic Jokes, but She’s Still Looking for Enduring Truth…

¹ Saturn Enters Pisces 7 March 2023 (PST 5:34 am, GMT 1:34 pm, IST 7:04 pm, AEST 11:34 pm). 1 Pisces is about Tripping Out So Far on 3D that We Never Get Back to Know that We Left…And Then Our Soul Taps Us on the Shoulder.

² Salacia (Our Commitment to Ascension) is in 8 Aries, A Lizard Dressed in Blue Satin and Pointy Shoes. 8 Aries is the Cosmic Joke Portal. Can we Take Ourself Seriously in such a Costume, especially when few Others can? “The skillful means is to take it all the way, to be ingenious and resourceful and just a bit wild and wacky. When you’ve got it and you flaunt it, this can be quite a gift, or it can be a stuck place if you let it” (Lonsdale p.43). In other words, we have to reframe these Bummer Emotions as Entertainment! (Illustration courtesy Bob Breeze and Dalle2…)

³ Full Moon 7 March (PST 4:40 am, GMT 12:40 pm, IST 6:10 pm, AEST 10:40 pm) in 17 Virgo, An Ornery Hermit Due to Excessive Sensitivity. The Major Challenge is a T-Square to Uranus (Our Soul), Self-Resolved by a Finger of the Goddess from Requiem (Ego Death) and Kassandra (Disbelief). Back before Marijuana was High Octane, we used to be able to get, when we were Lucky, Cannabis from the Mexican state of Michoacán, which we called Gigglyweed. As THC often does, it would Grab Your Attention and firmly Attach it to something Heavy, but just as you started to turn Heavy about it, it would Crack and seem Hilariously Funny. A Dance between Kassandra and Requiem will be a lot like that.

⁴ The Full Moon is Connected to a Grand Unx (12 planets equally spaced around the Zodiac, meaning Pattern-Breaking on a Grand Scale) by an Octile Angle (1/8th of the Zodiac or 1½ Signs), and this Angle is part of a Grand Octile (8 planets equally spaced around the Zodiac, meaning Interlocking Adjustments).

The Grand Unx Connects Hopi Out of Bounds-Haumea (Rebirth into Profound Respect for All Things), Eurydike (Trust), Ixion (No Rules), Tantalus (Desire as Bliss), Damocles (Accountability), Arachne (The Web of Life), Atlantis (Technology), Moira-Sedna (Fear of Fate), Chaos OOB-Ganesa OOB (Easy Removal of Obstacles to Our Unlimited Potential), Cyllarus OOB (Big Ego Deaths), Sisyphus (Lessons in Enjoying the Journey), and Ceres (Sustainability), all on the Cusps. Breaking Patterns involving any two of those in Sequence (such as Tantalus-Damocles or Cyllarus-Sisyphus), can be Changed much more Easily than usual, perhaps as Easily as Intending It. Write out each of the Adjacent Pairs, and Imagine Breaking your Self-Sabotaging Habits around the Interactions between the two members of each pair. For instance, you may be able to Let Go of Negative Interactions between Fear of Your Fate and Obstacles to Your Unlimited Potential.

The Grand Octile Connects Hopi-Haumea, Requiem, Pluto-Tantalus (Addictions), Sun-Nessus-Lachesis-Atropos (Banishing Abuse Karma), Atlantis, Altjira (Enabling Life), Cyllarus, and Moon-Orcus-Thereus (Breaking Patterns of Self-Abuse). You may be able to Resolve Negative Patterns between any two Adjacent planets in this list simply by Adjusting them. For instance, you may be able to Break Life-Long Addictions by PIAVAing Relevant Ego Deaths. You won’t even need to Identify the Egos – just PIAVA that “All Egos that are Associated with my Addictions be Declared Redundant and Lovingly and Gently Dismissed.” Again, pair up the eight adjacent planets and Imagine what your Life would be like if you Adjusted the Relationships between the two members of each pair.

⁵ Chiron Initiates Jupiter 11-12 March (PST 10:55 pm 11th, GMT 6:55 am 12th, IST 12:25 pm 12th, AEST 4:55 pm 12th), in 15 Aries, home of the Star Alpheratz in Andromeda (Freedom of Action and the Need to Be Present with Oneself). Chiron Initiates Vesta 12 March (PDT 5:27 am, GMT 12:27 pm, IST 5:57 pm, AEST 10:27 pm) in 15 Aries. Jupiter Initiates Vesta 12-13 March (PDT 9:55 am 12th, GMT 4:55 pm 12th, IST 10:25 pm 12th, AEST 2:55 am 13th) in 15 Aries.

Our CAO has also recommended this video, https://www.thetappingsolution.com/2023event/R00Ms/D6-SS.php, from the 2023 Tapping World Summit that’s only available free till 5-6 March 2023 (at PST 5pm 5th, GMT 1am 6th, IST 6:30 am 6th, AEDT Qld 11am 6th). It’s a session with our young friend Dr. Kim D’Eramo, whose Excitement about Healing is so Contagious. When we Manifest, we can only Create more of what we’re Feeling in the Moment, so Witnessing such Genuine Excitement about Healing is Fantastic. She Validates many of the Ideas I’ve talked about forever, but she Expresses them much more Clearly.

For instance, there is no Separation between what we’ve been trained to believe are different Levels or Realms or Elements, such as the Physical versus the Emotional versus the Mental versus the Spiritual. Those are Different Perspectives on Unitary Experience. Our Experience of each Moment is Whole, Complete, and Unitary. We can Allow the Mind to slice it and dice it in many different ways, and that can be very Useful, but it’s all just Mental Masturbation. The Real Ongoing Orgasm lies in Being United with the Wholeness in each Moment.

And while we’re at it, https://www.thetappingsolution.com/2023event/R00Ms/D6-BONUS.php is an incredible interview with Donna Eden, the Master of Energy Medicine, and Master of Excitement about Life! She Teaches us a few “tricks” that take a few seconds, to Protect ourself from Invasive Energy, and to Set a new Habit into your Repertoire.

Gotta Hurry

Our CAO has recommended this video, https://www.thetappingsolution.com/2023event/R00Ms/D5-MT.php, from the 2023 Tapping World Summit that’s only available free till 4-5 March 2023 (at PST 5pm 4th, GMT 1am 5th, IST 6:30 am 5th, AEDT Qld 11am 5th), but it’s so timely that I recommend it very highly. In the video, Iyanla Vanzant leads a Tapping Session that’s named Healing Difficult Family Dynamics: How to Use Tapping to Bring Peace and Harmony to Your Relationships, but is really about Removing Obstacles to Embracing Our Unlimited Potential, very much befitting the 9-11 March Stations of Asbolus (Intuition) and Chaos (Our Unlimited Potential) that we’re all already Feeling. The core Tapping Session starts just after 24:30 and runs about 8 minutes, but the whole Session is Powerful.

Welcome to Marchuary

Where I Live, the months go …April, May, Junuary, July, August… because May and July are usually quite warm, while June somehow often resembles January. Of course Mom planned this out to make sure the Strawberries get just the right combination of Morning Drizzle and Afternoon Sunshine so they Fatten up Aromatic, Firm but Tender and Super Sweet without that tacky Sugary texture that grinds your Teeth.

Well, at least that was true before the Chemists crossed them with Golfballs to improve their Shelf-life. Chemists, not generally being Highly Sensitive People, didn’t notice that they now Lacked Aroma, Tenderness, and Sweetness. But they did have the Shelf-life of a Golfball! Kinda like the famous Flavr Savr “Tomato” that was crossed with a Baseball and supposedly “Loved by Housewives” (whom they never actually asked), and survived as a Commercial Success for about a week and a half.

Traditionally, March begins our season of horizonal Big Tide-Spotless Bright White Puffball Clouds (Towering Cumulus) on a gorgeous Blue-Sky Background. This year the Sun is hesitating to leave Mexico, so at night it’s still in the 20s F, with Skin Chill factors of 10 below Reasonable. So Locals will recognize the “-uary” pun, while everyone else, Coincidentally, will probably think “Mortuary,” though most of the Victims of 2023 so far haven’t had nearly so formal a sendoff.

March 1, 2023 March 1, 2023, Damocles (Fear of Accountability) moves into Pisces (Letting Go of Emotional Baggage) until 22 August 2023. Till now, since December 1994, we’ve been concerned with our Accountability to Political and Social Rules, like our local zoning laws and our Relationships, especially with Neighbors (Damocles in Aquarius). These concerns have been Impacting us Emotionally, Triggering our Karma, since April 2021, during which time Damocles has been Dancing back and forth between Aquarius (Rules) and Pisces (Emotions). This Dance will continue till December 2025, when Damocles will enter Pisces “for good” (till its next Zodiacal Loop). With Damocles in Pisces, we will Suffer Mightily if we Fail to Accept Accountability for our Emotions. That means we stop Blaming them on other people, and Realize that, as Iyanla Vanzant tells us, An Emotion is Described by only One Word – everything else is a Thought About Our Emotions! If it takes us longer than two minutes to Let Go of an Emotion, it’s not Present-Moment, it’s Karma. Changing that Nasty Self-Sabotaging Habit must be our First Priority if we have any Hope of finding 5D, OR any Inner Peace. The 40-year orbit of Damocles stretches from 1.6 AU (Earth-Sun distances), just inside the Orbit of Mars, to 23 AU, just beyond Uranus. It spends about two thirds of its Orbit in Aquarius, which explains a lot about how Huper Politics has been so screwed up over the span of HisStory, and continue to be. Relate this to your own Personal History and Journal, and to your own natal chart: Damocles was or is or will be in Pisces during April-July 2021, March-July 2022, March-August 2023, March-September 2024, February-October 2025, and December 2025-May 2029. March 1, 2023, Arache (Grandmother Spider Who Weaves the Web of Life) moves into Aries (A New Beginning with a New Spiritual Agenda) till 3 May 2023. We can PIAVA that Huperity makes major Progress toward Learning to Respect Nature as the Source of Our Sustenance. With it’s 4¼-year Orbit, Arachne was last in Aries between January and March of 2019, when Greta started touring the World. In the upcoming Cycle, Arache will Dally most in Libra (most of 2025), where the World’s Social Order will Transform to the New Agenda, and in Capricorn (most of 2026), where the World’s Infrastructure will be Revised. 1 Aries is Single-Minded, Hard-Working, Opinionated.

March 2-19, 2023, Mercury (Awareness) will move through Pisces (Letting Go of Emotional Baggage), giving us a great Opportunity to Learn to Stop Mentalizing our Emotions. Emotions are best mined for Intuitions, but Studying the Sensations that Accompany them is a good Heuristic to help us Learn how to do that.

Till 3-4 March 20231 (27-28 February) Till 3-4 March 2023, Moon (Instincts) Out of Bounds (Magnified) North (Folks are more likely to Panic, especially in the Northern Hemisphere), from 5 Gemini through 8 Leo, likely Lighting Up your natal Planets in this Degree Zone. Moon OOB till PST 9:46 pm 3rd, GMT 5:46 am 4th, IST 11:16 am 4th, AEST 3:46 pm 4th. Till 3-4 March 2023, Icarus (Tendency to Overperform and Burn Out) Stationary (Strong) in 25 Pisces (Supreme Sensitivity to Collective Karma). When you find yourself tending to lap up too much Raw Meat from the Minia, Remind yourself that It’s Not Present Moment unless it’s happening within a few minutes and within a block or two of your house. By all means Feel it Deeply but Quickly, and then just as Quickly, Let It Go. If it Lights you Up, it’s a Mirror for your own Karma, but nobody bids Adieu to Karma by rolling in the Stories like a Dog in Roadkill. If there’s anything that’s Not Present Moment, ie, Not Real, it’s Stories. They have great Utility, but not for Letting Go of Karma, and if we Aspire to 5D we need to be Letting Go of Karma. They’ll be Back, but we Convert Flashbacks to Flushbacks by pushing the lever and Enjoying that Oh-So-Permanent Flushing Sound, if we’re Lucky enough to have Indoor Plumbing. Gratitude for that wouldn’t be Out of Order either. Station Exact PST 6:30 am 3rd, GMT 2:30 pm 3rd, IST 8:00 pm 3rd, AEST 12:30 am 4th. Till 3-4 March 2023, Saturn Waxing Unx Pluto (Opportunity to Cleanly Break Our Most Compulsive Habits, perhaps as Easily as by Earnest and Honest Intention) in 30 Aquarius (Channeling the Light into Earthly Grace with Total Presence and Total Detachment). The Initiation of this New Saturn-Pluto Cycle occurred 12 January 2020 in 23 Capricorn (Committed to Erasing Karma Ritually and Thoroughly), so we’ll want to Break any Habits that will Inhibit our Adopting this New Energy Fully. Thanks to our CAO for noticing this one! Angle Exact PST 2:21 pm 3rd, GMT 10:21 pm 3rd, IST 3:51 am 4th, AEST 8:21 am 4th.

3-4 March 2023 through 13-14 March, Moon In Bounds (Relatively greater Emotional Stability). Moon IB from PST 9:46 pm 3rd, GMT 5:46 am 4th, IST 11:16 am 4th, AEST 3:46 pm 4th in 8 Leo; Till PDT 7:32 am 13th, GMT 2:32 pm 13th, IST 9:02 pm 13th, AEST 12:32 am 14th in 5 Sagittarius.

6 March 2023, Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles) Out of Bounds (Stronger than Usual) moves into Cancer (Nurturance, Compassion) till 17 June 2023.

7 March 2023 7 March 2023, Sisyphus (Neverending Tasks) Out of Bounds (More Extreme than Usual) backs into Leo (Self-Appreciation) until 10 June 2023. Sisyphus Reminds us that the Journey is Far More Important than the Destination. 7 March 2023, Saturn (The Most Important Thing) moves into Pisces (Letting Go of Emotional Baggage) until February 2006, with a brief Test of Aries in May-August 2025. See the post https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/you-poor-sweetheart-you-dont-feel-like-celebrating-do-you/ for more information. 7 March 2023, Full Moon in 17 Virgo (An Ornery Hermit Due to Excessive Sensitivity). See the post https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/you-poor-sweetheart-you-dont-feel-like-celebrating-do-you/ for more information.

Till 9-10 March 2023, Asbolus (Intuition) Out of Bounds (Amplified) and Stationary (Strong) in 27 Gemini (Removing Our Masks). Intuition is a Skill, and the more we Practice it, the more we Learn to Listen to it. It’s always firing, but we usually Think it’s just a Thought or a shard of our Programming, and Ignore it. Not being Rude, it usually Speaks Quietly, so it’s Easy to Ignore. The next week is one of the best times of the year to Open to it. If you Listen Carefully, it’s likely to tell you what SuperPowers you’ll be Surviving on when we get to 5D (see next entry). Station Exact PDT 6:35 pm 9th, GMT 1:35 am 10th, IST 7:05 am 10th, AEST 11:35 am 10th.

11 March 2023, Juno (Growth in Consciousness) enters Taurus (Solidifying into Hard Copy) until 2 May 2023.

Till 11-12 March 2023 Till 11-12 March, Chaos (Our Unlimited Potential) Out of Bounds (Prominent) and Stationary (Strong) in 29 Gemini (Embrace of the Underwhere to Bring Light). This is who we Become after we Let Go of our Karma and Programming. You’ve been Daydreaming about it all your Life. Go ahead, Open up a few of those Doors. Station Exact PDT 7:35 am 11th, GMT 2:35 pm 11th, IST 8:05 pm 11th, AEST 12:35 am 12th. Till 11-12 March, Chiron (Despair and Miracles) Initiates Jupiter (Expansion) in 15 Aries (Freedom of Action but the Need to Be Present with Oneself). Chiron tends to be Discouraging or Depressing, till a Breakthrough occurs and Delightful Miracles Manifest. See the post https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/you-poor-sweetheart-you-dont-feel-like-celebrating-do-you/ for more information.

12 March 2023, 2 am PST becomes 3am PDT. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the Change.

13-14 March through 17-18 March 2023, Moon Out of Bounds over the Southern Hemisphere (I haven’t verified this, but based on the Northern version, I Imagine that denizens of the Southern Half of the Planet are more likely to Panic than usual). It’s not always so, but lately when the Moon is OOB S, it’s crossing early Sagittarius through early Aquarius, so watch for your natal Capricorn Plus planets to Light Up while Moon is OOB S (no matter which Hemisphere you’re in). Moon OOB from PDT 7:32 am 13th, GMT 2:32 pm 13th, IST 9:02 pm 13th, AEST 12:32 am 14th in 5 Sagittarius; Till PDT 7:22 pm 17th, GMT 2:22 am 18th, IST 7:52 am 18th, AEST 12:22 pm 18th in 8 Aquarius.

26-31 March 2023, Moon Out of Bounds over the Northern Hemisphere (Folks are more likely to Panic, especially in the North). Lately when the Moon is OOB N it crosses early Gemini through early Leo, Lighting up your natal planets in that Zone. Moon OOB N from 26th PDT 12:46 am, BST 8:46 am, IST 1:16 pm, AEST 5:46 pm in 4 Gemini; Till 31st PDT 6:41 am, BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm, AEST 11:41 pm in 8 Leo.

26 March 2023, 2 am GMT becomes 3 am BST (British Summer Time; GMT is London’s Standard Time), instantaneously. If you have a meeting scheduled for 2:15 am and you make the meeting, you may get Lost to Linear Time and emerge in another Time or Galaxy, which may turn out to be fortunate. See https://www.amazon.com/Time-Bandits-John-Cleese/dp/B0B8TNVR4H/ref=sr_1_1 for more information.

March’s major Sturm und Drang occurs before the Ides. Here’s an outline of the program. We’re hoping that it will be warm enough for Popcorn to pop by the Ides…

¹ The Impact of astroEvents – Stations (which Strengthen the Influence of a planet), Angles between planets (which Merge their Energies in various ways), and Initiations (which Begin a New Cycle in the Merger of the Energies of two planets) – kicks in ahead of the time when they’re Exact (the times listed above) – usually a couple days for asteroids, and a week or so for other planets, sometimes more. This will vary a lot depending on what else is going on – the Bigger Events (Slower planets) can crowd out other Events, though if you look closely you’ll probably find the Influence of each. It also depends on whether the Eventful planet(s) are prominent in your natal chart, or the Event occurs within a few Degrees of one of your natal planets.

The primary advantage of Knowing about astroEvents, is that it enables us to Discriminate between astrological Energies and other Energies.

People also vary in how Sensitive they are to Energy in general. A friend once told me, “I’m always aware that This Too Shall Pass, but as an astrologer, you Know When it will Pass!” Knowing that an Energy is Temporary can Prevent us from making Decisions to Protect ourself from it. If we can’t Stand an Energy and don’t know that it’s “just” an astroEvent, we can make Decisions that become Karma if we Neglect to Let Them Go afterward. For instance, we might Blame our Resistance to the Energy of the Event on some Action we took earlier, and Declare “I’ll Never Do That Again!” Bingo! Instant Karma. We’ve just added another Limit to our catalog of Unconscious Limitations.

If we Know an astroEvent is happening, or happened, and we can Identify the Energy, we can Use it Purposively, or Just Let It Go. In that case, the Energy Fades Quickly after it’s Exact. If we don’t know it’s happening and we Act to Protect our Resistance to It, it can continue in our Life indefinitely, Creating most of the Difficulties we Experience with Life. Unwinding our Karma, to find our True Self and Allow Ascension, is just the process of Identifying and Letting Go Of our Unconscious Limitations. Our Programming is probably the best Clue to Identifying our Unconscious Limitations, as we would never have Allowed the Programming if it weren’t Karmic for us.

If you’re in the habit of not reading the purple because it’s too technical, you might gain from reading the previous paragraphs.

This Crystal was used by the twelve Apophylls to Practice their Intuition, which is why it’s called Apophyllite. You can see the Crystal on the left whispering bright Multidimensional Truth into the second Crystal’s Ear, and the Dubious look on the second Crystal’s Face as he rejects the Intuition because it would Betray his Programming. Truth always Shines.

Apophyllite is actually a Mica (note the …phyll… in the name), a “Phyllosilicate,” meaning that the Silicate units arrange themselves in Sheets, with tight bonds across the Sheet, and loose bonds between them, causing Micas to cleave into their signature flat Sheets or Chips. Most Crystals form in Clusters, but a Cluster of Mica Crystals is called a Book, because when the Sheets are stacked, that’s what they look like. As molten Stone cools and solidifies, the Minerals in the Soup Solidify at different rates. The most autophilic Crystallize first, often leaving Cavities between them filled with less autophilic Minerals. The rest of the Soup Solidifies on its own timetable, either filling the Cavity with a “Massive” form of the Mineral, or not filling it and leaving the characteristic Crystal shapes we Recognize.

Apophyllite has stronger bonding between Sheets than more Mica-Morphic Phyllosilicates, allowing it to form three-dimensional Crystals, which may break between Sheets. The Cations (positive ions of the Crystal Unit) are Potassium and Calcium. The Silicate Anion (negative ion of the Crystal Unit) is usually suffixed with Fluoride, but sometimes with Hydroxide (OH). Apophyllite also contains Water embedded into its Crystal Structure. Most Apophyllite is White or Clear or Milky. The green hue in this one is probably produced by a few Copper cations thrown in.

Attending to the Field

The Moon went Out of Bounds over the Northern Hemisphere a few hours ago.¹ Folks are more susceptible to Panic when the Moon is Out of Bounds. Last year, Wall Street (“DJIA”) often fell a thousand or so points when the Moon went OOB N as it just did. This time though, last week while the Moon was In Bounds, the DJIA fell a thousand points. That was more Pessimism than Panic. That being the case, will traders do a FOMO Panic (“Fear Of Missing Out”) this week and push it back up?

These kinds of shifts reflect the Emotional Reactions of traders. Changes in the Economic Milieu are more basic and usually have more Pull than the Emotional Reactions. From what I read, mild Bearishness presides, interest rate Expectations are rising as are CD rates (which just hit 5% for the first time this Cycle), but the next FRB Meeting (when interest rates change) isn’t till the March Equinox. Nucular War is in the back of people’s minds. So I doubt that anyone’s thinking FOMO, which raises the odds of it from Tiny to Who Knows!

We’re currently under the Spell of dwarf planet Altjira (the Field which Allows Life to Arise), the Impact of which is Exponentially Magnified (Stationary and Out of Bounds) here.² If you aren’t Conscious of this Field, PIAVA to Open your Eyes to it. Even if you can’t See this Field, Offer it a Prayer that it continues to Hold Fast, for your own Survival at least, and the Renewed Thriving of your Home Planet if it occurs to you that these two may be Connected. Thankfully the Challenge is Self-Resolving, but the Great Nature God Pan will be Chatting with your Soul today.³

Go ahead, take a Risk and read the purple today. It’s good Practice for Learning to Tolerate your Confusion when the bars of your Birdcage are Open and you’re Starting to Expand your Consciousness.

¹ Moon OOB N 26-27 February 2023 (PST 4:21 pm 26th, GMT 12:21 am 27th, IST 5:51 am 27th, AEDT Qld 10:21 am 27th), in 5 Gemini (Expanding into Limitlessness) till 3-4 March (PST 9:26 pm 3rd, GMT 5:26 am 4th, IST 10:56 am 4th, AEDT Qld 3:26 pm 4th) in 8 Leo (A Charmed Life on the Edge between Pride and Modesty, with Need for Vigilance against Jealousy).

This early Gemini to early Leo Pattern for Moon OOB N has been pretty consistent, so our natal planets in that Zone have been getting a workout, and will continue to for more than a year yet. If you have T-Squares Focused in this Zone, keep an eye on that Moon, as it may be providing Intense Multidimensional Information about their Challenges, as it has been for mine. I’m Learning Experientially that the Chakras and Internal Organs and Thoughts and Emotions and Life Circumstances and Dreams and Expectations Really Do make a Coherent Whole, not just in Theory. Not that I understand much of it yet, but I’m beginning to see where the Doors are that need to be Opened.

² Station of Out of Bounds Altjira Exact 27-28 February (11:24 am PST 27th, GMT 7:24 pm 27th, IST 12:54 am 28th, AEDT Qld 5:24 pm 28th), in 17 Gemini (Compulsive Pursuit of a Mysterious Presence that Will Not Show Itself, Only Shadows, Till We Shatter. By Holding Steady through the Shattering, We Ascend), adjacent to the Great Star Rigel in Orion (Teaching Perfect Attunement to the New Energies). Well, yes, I suppose a Nucular War would be an appropriate Shattering of Western Civilization’s Compulsion to Pick Things Apart and never Put Them Back Together again because this Field is Invisible to It.

³ Uranus (Soul) Merged with asteroid Pan (Overarching God of Nature) in mid-Taurus (Matter) T-Squaring the Opposition (Debate) between asteroid Artesian (Implementer of Manifestations) and the Stellium of asteroids Magdalena (Mary Magdalene), Pandora (Hope), and Klotho (New Karma). Rather than just watching Artesian Debate or Argue with this August Team, why don’t you Butt In and make sure they’re Collaborating to Manifest the Best Possible New Karma. Karma is just Habits, and Habits aren’t Negative till you use them without Considering whether they Apply well to the Current Situation.
