Fire, Earth & Air 2

Whether you succeed in moving your Consciousness into your Discomfort, or just your Attention, it’s important to Soften and Warm around it.  Love is Soft and Warm, Fear is Cold and Hard.  We tend to tense up around Pain and Discomfort, but it’s Local Softness, Warmth, and Relaxation that facilitate Blood Flow and Healing.

On 6 November Uranus (Soul) Retrogrades back into Aries.  We’ve been Experimenting with Soul embedding deeper into Matter since mid-May as Uranus tested Taurus.  Now we go back and debrief Uranus in Aries, which we Lived from 2011 till last May.  Uranus in Aries was about beginning a new, more Mysterious Relationship between our Ego and our Soul.  We’ve gotten a good start on that project.  With Uranus in Taurus we’ve been making Changes in our everyday Life and Beliefs, to better support this new Rapport and Integration.

Uranus in Aries, from 6 November (11am PST) till March 2019, gives us the Opportunity to review what we’ve Learned about Soul and Ego since 2011, and to compare and contrast that with what we’ve Learned since May about their Integration.  The 2 November Varuna Station (3pm PDT) at 3 Leo highlights the Uranus Sign Change like so…

The Uranus Diamond Square is one of two in the Varuna-Station chart.  A Diamond Square represents a Challenge that pretty much Resolves itself, partly by making a Big Deal out of the Challenge (the Yod or green wedge pointing at Uranus; a Yod means “Pay Attention”), but mostly because of the Truss Bridge (blue triangles, signifying Cooperation and Blessings) connecting the Yod and the Challenge (the red triangle or T-Square).

Sitting on the North Node (our Mission in the Lifetime), Varuna emphasizes the Physical and Magical elements of our Transition from Self-Sabotaging Patterns (South Node or Karma) to Accomplishing our Mission.  As the Life Force, Varuna describes the state of our Health, and it describes how well we Embody the process of Animating Matter. 

As the two quotes in the previous post aver, we Hupers who Strive for greater Consciousness stand somewhere between the always-in-the-Present-Moment Natural World and the Robot-Hupers who Live their Karma without ever questioning it.  Is that a Judgment?  Inferno aside, it’s probably a Perspective that has a grain of Truth.  As Strivers, though, it is upon us to have Compassion for those “Robot-Hupers” – there but for Grace go we. 

Mass Hypnosis, aka Culture, does produce Robot-Hupers, to one degree or another.  And with few exceptions, when someone tells me they’re Enlightened – ie, they’ve Cleared all of their Karma, I don’t actually Believe them, because only the Ego would so boast.  We all know full well how much Robot we still have within us – or we wouldn’t be Striving for greater Consciousness.

As last week’s Sappho/Self-Love Station triggered our Self-Doubt, giving us the Opportunity to bring more of that into Consciousness where it can be Loved into Oblivion, so this week’s Varuna/Life-Force Station will trigger our Death Drive.  A definition of Addiction is a Behavior which we keep doing even after it has obviously been Harmful to us.  Not all Addictions Kill, but many do.  Sugar does Kill.

Often our Death Drive is split off from our Everyday Self; we repeat our Addiction while either conveniently “forgetting” that it can Kill us, or while Remembering that it can and doing it anyway, sometimes while Feeling Guilty.  Some say that it’s not the Addiction that Harms us, but the Guilt – but it can be either or both.  And frequently our “convenient forgetting” is not Conscious, but a split in our Consciousness – part of us knows its Harmful and part of us doesn’t, and the two parts may not talk be on the same Facebook page.

The part of us that “Forgets” is a Robot part of us, not so much from Culture, but from Regression.  There was a time in our Childhood (or our Other Lifetimes, but is it ever not both?) when the Addiction Rescued us from Held Emotions, the kind that we’d rather Die than Feel.  That Held Emotion may have been Forbidden by the Culture of our Family of Origin, so that our budding Addiction would have been Positively Rewarded and/or even Encouraged.

Of course Soul planned all that, to set up Heuristic circumstances that would help us Get Conscious.

So now our Soul (Uranus) stands on a knife-edge between Pure Matter (Taurus) and pure Spirit (Aries).  As Pure Spirit we would Banish an Addiction with a swish of a Wing.  As Pure Matter we would Merge with the Addiction.  The Addiction would be in our very Cells, beckoning to its compatriots that are still outside our Body to join it.  Cancer and diabetes, both of which Eat Sugar for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, do this. 

Even a Cold can do it.  Have you ever noticed that there’s a Decision Point in “catching” a Cold?  You get the sniffles and you think, “Oh, time to cut back on Dairy” or Gluten or Glyphosate or Sugar or whatever messes with your Mucus Membranes – and you do that, and your sniffles disappear.  But if instead your thoughts are “Oh, I’m getting a Cold,” guess what happens next.  Germs are ever-present; they infect us when we get Vulnerable to them, and don’t when we aren’t.

So the Spiritual Function of this Diamond Star is to Remind us that whatever we can do from Spirit, such as Instant Healing, we can also do in Matter, because we are Spirit.

The Roots that Create the Self-Resolving Blessing (the blue triangles) include Mercury (intellect) and Pallas-Aletheia-Makemake (Boundaries-Truth-Manifestation).  The latter is just what we’ve been talking about – the Truth is that We Set Our Own Boundaries Around What We Allow Ourself to Manifest and What We Don’t.  Is Instant Healing part of our Everyday vocabulary? 

The phrase “Mind Over Matter,” which is often used to describe Instant Healing, is a misnomer.  Mercury is prominent in the other Diamond Star, and as we’ll see when we dissect that, the Intellect’s ample Powers reside in Duality, while both Healing and Growth in Consciousness are Multifarious. 

It’s not Mind that overpowers Matter.  Mind-Air and Matter-Earth are Equal elements of the astrological Wheel.  You could instead say “PIAVA over Matter,” because Intention and Prayer, for example, do have the Power to penetrate the Barrier between Consciousness and the Unconscious, and correct our misinterpretation that Matter is solid and constant.

Fire, Earth & Air

Our next Province (in Time) runs through 2 November (3pm PDT), while dwarf planet Varuna (the Life Force) is Standing Still (Strong).  It’s a complex Province, but the two major Energies are both Self-Resolving Challenges (Diamond Stars).  The key to these Configurations is to Be Aware of what’s being Self-Resolved.  A Diamond Star is like having an excellent Teacher; we’re Inspired to Learn Effortlessly and Profoundly. 

But if we don’t Realize that we’re in School, then we may Enjoy the Resolution but Learn nothing.  The Spiritual Purpose behind all astrological processes is to Teach.  If we’re hanging in there by our fingernails, then we’re just Relieved to see the Province go away.  And if we aren’t Aware of what we’ve just been Taught, the next time a similar Province recurs, we won’t Recognize it as the Old Friend that it is, and we’ll end up hanging by our teeth.

Before we get into the specifics of the Challenges, let’s get some background from David Spangler and his Sidhe friend Mariel.  We introduced the Sidhe back in September’s Hope You’re Rested VII post (https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2018/09/09/hope-youre-rested-vii/).  This is from David’s Engaging with the Sidhe: Conversations Continued, pp.74-5…

“The physical realm is one form of emanation of the cosmos; it existed long before Gaia came into being or descended from its stellar home.  Though it is living, it did not initially produce or sustain life…  It provides a specialized form of consciousness that is important to the Sacred…  It provides an anchor that allows creation to unfold on multiple levels of being and consciousness.

“The strength of this consciousness and the realm that proceeds from it is based on its limits and its focus.  Aeons ago, again long before Gaia came into being, there were those who felt these limits and their focus could be used to accelerate the development of life and consciousness.  Efforts were made to bring life into these realms. 

“Most of these efforts stopped short of a full immersion into the most focused manifestation of this consciousness of matter, but some determined to quicken the life within matter and give it a power of emergence and evolution.  Ultimately, Gaia was one of these beings who pledged to bring life into the cosmos in order that new life might emerge out of it.

“In time, the collective field of souls that are the ancestors of all that is human and Sidhe joined in this effort.  Many of these souls agreed to enter into the depths of matter to serve the arising and quickening of life…  To these beings, this was not a descent into form or substance; this they already possessed in their own way.  It was a taking on of a specialized, limited form of consciousness to expand it from within.  You would see this as entering into matter.

“It was decided that there would be those who would go to the threshold of this consciousness but no further in order to be a lifeline for those who went deeper.  This was their mission and calling, and there was no rejection or refusal on their part of matter or its consciousness and life.”

From here let’s let Michael Roads carry us further, in Entering the Secret World of Nature, pp.104-5.  Note that Michael uses the word “subconscious” to mean what we mean when we use the term “Unconscious”…

“Apart from people like the Kalihari Bushmen and other so-called primitive tribes in their various countries, most of humanity has lost its conscious connection with Nature and the Earth.  The results are dramatic, yet very little is known, recognized, or accepted about this.  Let me shock you!  Neither Nature nor the planet Earth acknowledges the living existence of a subconscious person.  With over ninety percent of humanity living subconsciously, we unwittingly hold back the very evolution of human consciousness.

“Every living creature in Nature is conscious in the moment, and in this we can include the mineral kingdom, thus involving the planet Earth itself.  All Nature and the planet are conscious of consciousness.  Obviously this is not on an intellectual level, but as a living reality.  A person living subconsciously is not conscious of being conscious in the moment.  Sounds odd, but it is a very sobering fact.  It also has a very startling effect…

“If Nature/Earth has no recognition of a person as being conscious, Nature will be utterly uncaring of their welfare . . . they are not part of a greater reality.  And a part is the whole, for there are no parts!  Equally, if Nature recognizes a person as being One with its holistic Self, Nature will not wantonly or accidentally destroy a person with an aware connection of conscious intelligence.”

He goes on the explain that he’s not speaking about anybody’s ideas, he’s speaking of his own Observations of many situations, including many disasters, from a higher Perspective.  He’s also not speaking of Bodies per se, but Souls – he gives the example of a Soul Choosing a disaster as a vehicle to move from one Body to another.

What I’m trying to illustrate here is that the Varuna Station is Merged with (Conjunct) the North Node (our Mission in the Lifetime).  So I’m suggesting that the state of our Health may be proportional to the Degree that we are Living our Mission.  Which is not a Judgment, and not a “Blaming the Victim” thing.  The upshot is that we can use any element of our Health that is unsatisfactory as a Clue to where we are Separated from our Mission.

One way to do that would be see which Chakra is involved in our Discomfort, though that can be divertingly intellectual.  One of the major Self-Resolving Challenges in the Varuna Station is Learning that the Intellect is not the tool to use for Exploring Expanded Consciousness.  The reason is pretty simple – the Intellect excels at Duality, but the Unconscious which we aim to Grow Into is Multifarious and Unitary.  Trying to Grow Consciousness using the Intellect is like trying to eat Soup with a fork, or trying to stop a truck with it.

A better way is to drop our Consciousness, in Meditation, directly into the Locus of our Discomfort, and hold it there as long as we can, bringing it back when we catch our Attention beginning to wander.  In his Living in the Heart, Drunvalo Melchizedek Teaches a clever trick…

Assuming your Center of Consciousness is in your Head, when you begin to move your Consciousness into your Discomfort, first move it into your Throat, feeling the relative Softness of the Throat compared to the bony Skull.  From the Throat, check to make sure that to see the Head, you have to Look Up.

Then continue to move to your Discomfort.  On the return trip, which you want to do Consciously rather than just letting your Attention wane away, also stop at the Throat and orient yourself, in particular making sure that your Eyes point forward.

Then, taking advantage of the Self-Resolving Opportunity to be Open To Instant Healing, we can PIAVA that we Become Aware of our Separation from our Mission, and Begin to Gently, Lovingly, and Powerfully Close the Gap.

Self-Doubt 6

The last major segment of the Sappho-Station chart is a second Yin Gate, this one focused on the Expansion-of-Fear, or, with Kegels, Expansion-of-Power, Jupiter-Sedna Opposition…

Notice that, unlike the first Yin Gate, Love-of-Our-Potential (Sappho-Chaos) and its protagonist Responding-to-Our-Survival-Fears (Quaoar-Pholus) is directly involved in this one.  We talked about Fear recently – Fear plus Breathing, Fear plus Tapping, Fear plus Kegels, and the like, so if we’ve built these Habits we should be well on our way to working with this one.

But it’s a Yin Gate, so we have to expect Paradox to reign.  For many of us, developing hygienic Habits around Fear may be easier than around Paradox, since Paradox involves holding Contradictory Concepts at the same time without forcing them to Compete.  That’s actually excellent practice for what will follow the Patriarchy, as Duality will no longer be in Control.

We’re probably more familiar with Fear-of-Expanding than we are with Expanding-into-Fear or Embracing-Fear.  And we may be more familiar with Fear-of-Power than we are with Expanding-into-Power or Embracing-Power.  In The Findhorn Garden, one of the Herbs, Artemesia I think, pointed out that having more Power allowed it to Serve God/Goddess more Powerfully.  We may all have different Paradoxes to deal with around Expansion, Fear, Extroversion, and Power.

The “whole story” for our 26 October Sappho Station (11:30 pm PDT) on Transforming Self-Doubt into Self-Love looks like this…

Self-Doubt 5

When we Deny something it’s often because we don’t like it, and often it’s something about ourself on one level or another.  Denial is Repression by another name, or Banishment into the Unconscious.  Unfortunately, the Unconscious has more Power over us than our Consciousness or Ego.  So Denial always comes with a cost, and almost always a cost that we become Victim to, Projecting it onto Others or onto “Fate.”  We eliminate these Self-Sabotages by bringing them into Consciousness.

Which isn’t always Easy, but at times the Astrology gives us a hand – or an ultimatum.  That usually involves dwarf planet Eris.  We spoke about Eris’s involvement in the 26 October Sappho-Station chart in Self-Doubt 3, at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2018/10/21/self-doubt-3/.  Given the critical role of Denial in Self-Love, we believe that the Eris-Haumea Yin Gate, that we described therein, is the most important part of the Sappho-Station chart.

However, Sappho herself wan’t involved in that Yin Gate.  So, what of Sappho herself while she’s Front and Center?  She’s no shrinking Violet here.  First and foremost, she is Merged with (Conjoins) dwarf planet Chaos, which we’ll abbreviate “dp Chaos” here in order to make it clear when we’re referring to the actual planet.  Dp Chaos doesn’t symbolize Disorder.  “Chaos” was the condition of Reality that the Greek Gods found and brought Order to.  In fact though, much of Greek Mythology is about murdering the previous, or Matriarchal, Order.  So we could Easily equate dp Chaos with the Demise of the Patriarchy.

We give the Greeks some backhanded credit, though, by focusing on their notion of Disorder, and considering dp Chaos to symbolize Unlimited Potential.  What to any given agenda is Disorder, is actually not only Order of another Dimension, but also the Potential for Unlimited Change, since we have no shortage of Dimensions.

Of course a given Huper Lifetime has Potential somewhat Limited by its Soul’s Mission.  But if you consider our many Detours on this path toward our Mission, Variation is more prominent than Limitation.  And, when we become Aware of the Parallel Lives of our Soul, our Variation becomes almost Infinite, if not truly so.  Then add the fact that We Are All One, and you multiply our Potential Diversity by an additionally infinite number of infinities.  And we haven’t even considered non-Huper Entities.  Thus, Unlimited Potential.

So, when you think about asteroid Sappho, symbol of Self-Love, Standing Still only a Degree from dp Chaos, symbol of Unlimited Potential, I would hope you will find yourself among the Stars.  Back in the Olde Days we would have called it “mind-blowing,” as the birdcage of our everyday Ego and Conceptual Matrix and Emotional Limits Exploded into Cosmic confetti. 

Watch for this.  Don’t turn away from it in Fear or Horror.  It may be subtle, or it may Feel like a sword to the belly, like it may have been for some Wall Street traders today.  Remember that the Duality of Self-Love is Self-Doubt, so when Self-Doubt arises, know that its purely a graphic illustration of a corner of your Life where you’re not in Self-Love, a corner that needs correcting ASAP.  Without Self-Love, you’re condemned to repeat the soap opera without end.

Here’s the chart…

You can see that Self-Love and Unlimited Potential are Challenged (T-Square) by Truth (Aletheia) and Suffering/Miracles (Chiron).  What’s the lever that converts Suffering to Miracles?  Self-Empathy, a particularly precious form of Self-Love.  The Challenge is to Remember Self-Empathy every time we encounter Suffering.

And you can see that it’s Opposed by our Forbidden Genius (dwarf planet Ixion) and our Willingness to Respond to Support it (dwarf planet Pholus).  Rudhyar’s advice that “When we don’t follow our nature there is a hole in the universe where we were supposed to be” points directly at our Forbidden Genius – the places where our Programmers shut us down. 

No Blame (except in the beginning when you’re Letting Go of your pent-up Anger about it), your Soul hired them to give you something to push against so you wouldn’t blow the Lifetime posting selfies on your Facebook page.  Do we know who our Forbidden Genius is?  Notice that Eris and Haumea are both Pathfinders (Trine Bridges) for Sappho-Chaos Opposing Ixion-Pholus.  In other words, it would be a fine time to stumble into a Rebirth of your Forbidden Genius through Reclaiming what’s been Denied.

Of course since Denial is all about the Unconscious, and the Unconscious, since it’s Unconscious, isn’t accessible to us through everyday Actions.  We might be able to Notice parts of it by analyzing everyday Actions, but that a very slow way to get Conscious. So we PIAVA.  I’m guessing that most of us actually know our Forbidden Genius, we just don’t know how to Integrate it into the rest of our Lives.

When we put all these elements together, we might come up with something like…

“God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, I Command that my Forbidden Genius be Reborn into Polite Company and that the Resulting Integration Convert Suffering to Miracles and Open Up Unexpected Vistas of Opportunity and Ease for me.  It Is Done, It Is Done, It Is Done.  Thank you God/Goddess! … Show Me.”

Oh.  Did I mention Daniel Scranton’s recent Channeling from the Arcturians? …

“We are putting forth an invitation to anyone and everyone who wants to experience the up-leveling of your vibration.  We are offering this service because we know that there is nothing better for you than to put out a higher frequency of vibration, and we love so much to give to all of you in whatever way that we can.  In order to receive our up-leveling, all you need to do is state your intention to receive it as you are drifting off to sleep.

“The delivery system will be through a meeting that will take place in the astral realm.  That is where you are able to meet ninth dimensional beings at this time.  And so we are happy to meet up with you and to provide you with this service.  Now, you are going to experience some changes once you receive this vibrational upgrade.  You are going to heal more quickly.  You will receive more inspired ideas.  You will feel more joy, and love will flow easily to you and through you.

“We have seen the results of these vibrational upgrades in those who have accepted them from us in the past, and we are very pleased with how you all shift your vibrations so easily when you are open to receive.  We also want you to recognize that we are really just the facilitators here.  You are the ones who will accept our invitation, and you are the ones who will meet us in the astral plane so that you can receive what was always yours for the taking.

“A higher vibration is your birthright, and as many factors as there are on your world that keep your vibrations in the lower frequency range, there are as many of us in the higher realms looking to support you in holding a higher vibration.  We always have and we always will.”

Self-Doubt 4

Lots of folks writing lots about the glorious 24 October Full Moon (10am PDT), which is great, because it’s a Biggie.  So I’ll just focus on what I think is The Most Important Thing about it, the Self-Resolving Challenge to the Vitality of our Mission (In astrologuese that’s the Diamond Star to Varuna-North Node), outlined in the heavy lines here…

You can see how busy it is everywhere else, with all the lighter lines.  Of course, since it’s Self-Resolving, we don’t even need to mention it, do we.  But as we explained earlier about Blessings (Trines) having a Downside of Arrogance.  Doesn’t the media Love to glorify this, as if the “Sin” of Pride is the crowning glory of Huperity.  But our Goal here is Consciousness, so our Awareness around Self-Resolving Challenges is Important, and dissecting the Entity will be useful.

Dwarf planet Varuna represents the Life Force, and the North Node symbolizes why we took on our current Lifetime.  And this is the Cusp of Leo, which represents the Ascendance of the Individual into their Potential, their Individuation, in Jungian terms.  That means Ascending out of the soup of Codependencies and other Karmic Limitations that our “civilized” Cultures provide for us so we have something to push against.  In other words, the alarm clock is bouncing itself off the nightstand and it’s time for us to Wake Up.We also don’t want to forget that the Life Force and our Mission are intertwined – our Mission is what enlivens us.  This is actually an opportune time for Instantaneous Healing.  Focus your Attention on Why You’re Here (even if you “think” you know Why, PIAVA it, because the real reason is multidimensional and thus inaccessible to thinking), and the maladies that have been Limiting you may shrink in Importance, if not disappear altogether.

“God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, I Command that I Keep My Focus On My True Mission.  It Is Done, It Is Done, It Is Done.  Thank you, God/Goddess.  Show Me.”  For example.

So what is the basis of this Challenge-not-Challenge?  The Full Moon itself, highly and mightily decorated by none other than Venus (Values) and Uranus (Soul).  Our Essence (Sun) is Clarifying our Values, while our Soul permeates our Authenticity (Moon).  If you think either of those can occur without Ego Death, you may want to park your Arrogance for a bit.  Don’t forget to feed the meter. 

On the other hand, if you’ve digested last week’s work with Nemesis, you’ll recognize the signs (https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2018/10/14/another-molt-i/) and Embrace them, right?  Since the whole thing is Self-Resolving, no need to make a Big Drama out of it.  It’s about Consciousness, not Suffering.

And, we’re only writing this as a sidebar – the Real Issue this week is about Self-Love and Embracing Self-Doubt as a doorway to greater Self-Love, so any Sturm und Drang that arises, is just more “Grist for the Mill,” as Ram Dass would have called it.

The heavy blue lines on the chart show the “bowl of Grace” that makes the red T-Square Self-Resolving.  These connect Intrusive Memories (OR10) and The-Most-Important-Thing-Is-To-Respond-To-Our-Survival-Instincts (Saturn-Pholus-Quaoar).  The Danger implied is that we’ll mistake our Memories of Bummers as Instincts about our Survival.  That sounds very Heavy, yet it’s coming to us as Grace.  The suggestion is that Focusing Our Attention On Our Mission in the Lifetime, preferably via PIAVA, will be our most Powerful Survival Strategy.

That’s actually always True, since a la Tolkien, all of the Drama along the way is just there to tune our Self-Confidence.  The Real Goal is to get to chat with Smaug.  And of course Smaug is “just” a Dragon, which universally symbolizes our Personal and Cultural Karma (in astrologuese, that’s the South Node – which of course Anchors the whole Diamond Square). 

Notice that the lighter lines trace out a blue triangle (Grand Trine) connecting our Vitality (Varuna-North Node) to Endings (Atropos) and Suffering/Liberation (Chiron).  The blue triangle represents even more Dumb-Luck Blessings for the Vitality of our Mission, and for the Ending of Suffering.  We know how to do that – it’s as simple as a “Poor-Sweetheart,” augmented when necessary with Tapping and PIAVAing.

• Poor-Sweethearting… https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/poor-sweetheart/.
• Tapping… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzVd6Ww0as4.
• PIAVAing… https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava-review/.

And it turns out that the blue triangle really makes a Kite, pointing at, of course, the South Node, the Dragon’s Tail.  While the South Node typically represents our Karma, it also represents a catalog of Skills that we developed in “Past” Lives, but which are Hidden beneath our Held Emotions – the Emotions we’d rather die than Feel.  Which is to say, more Ego Deaths are required for us to Retrieve these Skills, these Swords embedded in Boulders. 

And it turns out that these Hidden Skills are exactly the Skills we need to Achieve our Mission in the Lifetime – exactly why Frodo Baggins had to endure the Dramas he did to find Smaug, in order to face down his Held Emotions.

This Fire (Spirit) Grand Trine also forms a second Kite, this time pointing to Opening to Greater Consciousness (Juno-Lachesis).

Juno (the Edges of Consciousness) backs into Taurus nine hours prior to the Full Moon.  While Juno in Gemini will make the Boundaries of the Unconscious more permeable, Juno in Taurus gives us the Opportunity to break open the places where we’re Stuck.  We can consider Juno in Taurus (June-September 2018 and October 2018-February 2019) to be a contributor to the Challenges to our Ego that we’ve been encountering.  Consciousness and Ego are not the same, but the Ego stands guard at the Gate to the Unconscious.

Lachesis, meanwhile, governs the Duration of a Timeline – which can be a Lifetime, a theme or phase within a Lifetime, or any other Span of a Zeitgeist.  Lachesis is one of the three Fates.  Fate “happens to us” when we’re Operating Unconsciously.  Being Conscious of a Timeline gives us Choice.  So Lachesis-Juno gives us the Option of Ending a Timeline when we Choose to.

Consider the Timeline of Suffering, for instance.  We’ve already discussed the Gift of Ending Suffering (Atropos Trine Chiron); Lachesis-Juno will grant us Consciousness about Ending Suffering.  This is Important because, being Conscious, it is repeatable purposely, whenever we Remember to do it.  That’s very different from the End of Suffering “happening to us.”

If we have a Grand Trine with two Kites, we actually have an Almost-Grand-Sextile, which means that the Vacancy is an important leverage point for us, as Energy applied there will potentiate the larger Configuration.  That’s 2 Libra, “The transmutation of the fruits of past experiences into the seed-realizations of the forever creative spirit.”  Whoo, that’s what we’ve been talking about.  Rudhyar’s interpretation is “A repolarization of inner energies leading to a creative centralization of consciousness.”  Moving our Assemblage Point in other words.

So, the Vacancy is the Energy that we have to supply in order to trigger the larger Grace.  It doesn’t sound like transmutations and repolarizations of this sort are things we can pull off with a Plan-Execute strategy, but we can certainly PIAVA them! 

Working with Parallel Lives might be Easier than with Past Lives, as Parallel Lives are going on Right Now.  We can use that Meditation where we rise to the ceiling, then above the building, then above the neighborhood, etc, to “above” the Planet, and modify it to include rising above the Boundary between our current Dimension and the Dimension where our most useful Parallel Life is Living.  After Expanding to such a larger Perspective, try something like…

“I Intend to Transcend the Boundaries of Time to Harvest the Information I Need to Gently, Lovingly, and Powerfully Re-Integrate My Sense of Self so it Includes the Skills I Need to Achieve My Mission.”

Heavy Duty.  As our CAO used to say, “You can’t make this stuff up!”

Self-Doubt 3

Here’s the picture of the Sappho-Station chart that stars Eris…

We’re actually getting a little ahead of ourself, as we haven’t discussed the role of Sappho in Her own Station chart yet, but this is important too.  The Configuration is called a Yin Gate.  You won’t find much information about the Yin Gate in the astrological literature, because I made it up.  But you can read all about it at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2016/12/02/the-yin-gate-and-piavas/.  In a nutshell, a Yin Gate is a Mystery School, where we’re forced to Accept Paradox as primary.  In order to do that, we need to reject Dualism and Contradiction, ie, get out of the mindbone.

These days, because there are so many charts and so little time, I usually just read the central axis, which is, after all, what distinguishes a Yin Gate from an “ordinary” Golden Rectangle.  But feel free to read the four Quincunxes (long green lines) yourself – the link above tells how, as they’re always instructive…

• Fear/Power (Sedna) and Rebirth (Haumea)
• Denial (Eris) and Expansion (Jupiter)
• Truth (Aletheia) and Denial (Eris)
• Rebirth (Haumea) and Despair/Miracles (Chiron)

And you can read the two diagonal Oppositions (long red lines) that Describe the Golden Rectangle itself…

• Fear (Sedna) and Expansion (Jupiter) – what’s Mysterious about Expanding into Fear?
• Truth (Aletheia) and Despair/Miracles (Chiron) – which is actually closer to Truth, the Despair or the Miracle?

The central axis here is Eris Opposite Haumea.  To the Left Brain this represents a Contradiction between Denial and Rebirth.  That might suggest to us that by Opening Up To What We’ve Been Denying, we can be Reborn.  That’s common in religions, where Opening Up to the Denial that the Great Spirit (usually in one of Her Fraudulent Disguises) is In Charge Allows us to be Born Again. 

And that’s Great, because Denial of a Higher Power is one of the worst Self-Sabotages we can Perpetrate – it’s exactly how Science is Destroying the Planet.  Of course the religions, with their Fake-News Godheads, are doing Gaia no favors either.  Both tend to be Fundamentalist, which means that they take their Metaphors Literally – they Believe their own Propaganda.  And that’s exactly how they Sabotage themselves, because they aren’t Open to the Multidimensionality of Real Life.  Their strategies work until they don’t.

The crux is that we can’t Open Up To What We’ve Been Denying, because it’s in the Unconscious, which by definition is not accessible to our Consciousness.  By Dynamic or Plan-Execute means.  But that’s exactly what PIAVA does, it Allows the Ego and the Unconscious to Communicate and Co-Create Constructively.

So in a Yin Gate, an Eris-Haumea Opposition suggests that we need to Open Up to the Paradoxes about how Denial and Rebirth Interact.  What are those?  Well, they’re Unknowable, because in a Yin Gate they cross the Conscious-Unconscious Barrier.  So we have to PIAVA – Pray or Intend or Ask or Visualize or Affirm (or Command or Feel Into or Go Meta or…) that these Paradoxes be Revealed to us – and that we don’t instantly murder them by stuffing them into the closed box of Understanding.

Self-Doubt 2

Here’s a great example of Self-Doubt, that katie labels “Imposter Syndrome”…

https://roseandcactusquartz.com/2018/10/20/imposter-syndrome/

“Something that has been popping up a lot around me lately in conversation has been ‘imposter syndrome’.  For anyone who has never heard of it, imposter syndrome is where people doubt their accomplishments or feel as if they will be exposed as fraudulent. 

“It could apply to anything such as whether you feel you deserved an “A” in school or even Einstein experienced it (there is a great TED talk about this) with some of his discoveries.  What was amazing to me was that someone as brilliant as Einstein could feel something that so many of us feel and I was wondering about why that is.”

A friend considers “Imposter Syndrome” to be a positive sign, that we’re Stretching our Creativity to its Edges.   So like other Self-Doubt eruptions, it’s another Opportunity to Let Go of our Unworthiness Programming and Shift to Unconditional Regard for ourself.  If Doubt is persistent, we might Tap on it, “Even though I feel like an Imposter, I deeply and completely Love and Accept myself…”

We’re dealing with the Unconscious, so we can’t “Plan-Execute” our way into Self-Love.  But we can PIAVA something on the order of “All Obstacles between Self-Love and Me be Removed.”  Of course it would behoove to add “Lovingly and Gently” – or as Doug suggests “Gently and Powerfully,” or better yet, “Gently, Lovingly, and Powerfully” – lest Instant Healing fall upon us from on high and totally disorient us, causing us to scramble back to our Limiting Beliefs for Security.

I used to feel like I had to “prove” astrology to the many people whose only experience with it was via the daily newspaper – “Watch out for open manhole covers today, Virgo!”  Of course they’re personhole covers, but the daily newspaper never did figure that out.  Nowadays I just understand that their Closed mind is their Loss.  I’ll be happy to help if they Ask, but I’ve better things to do than confront them about it.  There are other areas though, where I still at times Fear my disguise is wearing thin, and that the counterparties to my informal agreements will Abandon me.

Like many other Anxieties, an effective way to deal with that is to invert it.  When I Fear someone will Abandon or Betray me, I need to Ask, “Who am I Abandoning or Betraying?”  It’s may well be someone else entirely, and it may be in our Fantasies only.  Or when I Doubt my Accomplishments or Fear I’ll be Exposed as a Fraud, I need to Ask, “Where in my Life am I Betraying myself?” or “Who do I Judge as a Fraud?”  Introjections (such as Fear of being a Victim) and Projections (eg Seeing in Others what we Judge in ourself) are as Heads and Tails; what’s the Coin?

Denial.  Other than being an epithet we accusingly Project onto someone else, Denial is a healthy Ego process.  Ego itself is also often an epithet, but we would not be able to function without an Ego or Identity of some sort.  Of course if we aren’t Identified with our Soul, then we actually are a Fraud, aren’t we.  The Fear or sense of being a Fraud may just be an Invitation to Shift our “Assemblage Point” to our Soul.

But when we have a load of Clearing to do to get there, and it would Overwhelm us and Fracture our Ego if we dove into it now, we Healthily Deny it in order to focus on things that are more Important in that moment, such as Keeping On Keeping On.  Sometimes we do Avoid Opportunities to Clear, and Keep On Keeping On in order to keep ourselves too busy to Notice what we’re Denying.  But when the Ego Fractures, we can only do one thing – put it back together again.  If we try to do anything else it just makes everything worse.

But there are times when we have to Face our Searching and Fearless Inventory and address what we’ve been Denying.  Often that will occur when dwarf planet Eris, which symbolizes Denial, is Lit Up.  And it is Lit Up in the Sappho-Station chart that rules this week.  We’ll talk about that in the next installment.

Self-Doubt 1

As is so often the case, Daniel Scranton’s Arcturian friends are right on time, as our next major event is the 26 October (11:30 pm PDT) Station of asteroid Sappho, which symbolizes Self-Love, in 27 Gemini.  Of course whenever Self-Love is Lit Up, our Self-Doubts will arise to be Let Go Of.  Our Karma does not Grasp us, we Grasp it.  Self-Doubt arises, and rather than Recognizing it as Fake News and Dismissing it, we Imagine all the potential reasons why we might Doubt ourself, and, typically, wallow in them. 

Why?  Because we were taught to…

https://danielscranton.com/love-yourselves-unconditionally-%e2%88%9ethe-9th-dimensional-arcturian-council/

“We have a perspective that we would like to share with you on what we see as the continuation of some programming you picked up when you were very young on this planet in this lifetime.  We see you looking for reasons to love yourselves.  We see you attempting to earn your own love through something that you would accomplish or become, even from the way that you look.

“We are noticing that this conditional love got started in childhood for most of you when you learned very quickly what would please your parents, and your teachers, and even your friends.  You also learned what would get you in trouble or not please the other people in your life.  And most of you could feel the withholding of love during those times when you disappointed someone important in your life.

“Now, as adults, most of you continue to run that programming.  Most humans have not found a way to love themselves unconditionally.  Instead, you work very hard to try to earn your own love, and then you get into a romantic relationship, and you expect the other person to love you unconditionally, even though you have not found the ability to do that for yourself.

“So you go from relationship to relationship, looking for someone to give you the love that you never really got from another human and haven’t been able to supply to yourself.  So we are here to tell you how important it is to let yourself off the hook, to not let your self-love be performance based, and we want you to show yourselves even more love when you have met with a defeat of some kind, or when someone else has proven once again that they are not loving you unconditionally.

“That is when you need your own love to come forth from within you.  You need to access it, you need to feel, and you need to give it to yourselves freely, without hesitation, without condition, and no matter what anyone else says or does to you.  In fact, if you’re being mistreated by others, you need to give yourselves more love and more compassion.  It makes perfect sense, if you think about it.  Who better to love you than the one who knows your entire story?

We have two intervening events on 24 October, but the Overwhelming Energy for the next week will be about Self-Love, ferreting out any excuses we make to ourself for withholding it, and banishing them to the trash heap.  Like most Consciousness-raising exercises, it’s about Noticing, and Responding Differently.  It’ll be an excellent time to use our Gestalt techniques…

When you detect a Self-Doubt arising, set out three chairs facing toward the same place. 

Sit down in one and talk about your Self-Doubt – what it feels like, what Justifies it, how it has Constrained your Enjoyment of things you would have like to have done with your Life. 

Then move to the other chair and Empathize – “You Poor Sweetheart, you Feel Limited by that, don’t you.”  Follow that up with whatever Feels appropriate.  Then Ask the version of you that was sitting in the first chair, “How has this Self-Doubt Protected us from unwanted Outcomes?”

Move back to the first chair and talk about how your Life has been Better as a result of your Self-Doubt.  What has it bought you?  Maybe Rescued you from potential Shame or Embarrassment, or Punishment even, or Fear?  See if you can boil your Positive Intention down to one or two words, like “Safety” or “Integrity.”

Go back to the second chair and Acknowledge your Chair-1-Self for these good Intentions.  Then talk about the things you might have done if you didn’t have this Self-Doubt.  Maybe you’d have had more Fun, taken more Risks, Achieved more, or Followed your Dreams.  Boil all those down to one or two words, like “Fun” or “Success.”

Now move to the third chair.  Imagine your Self-Doubt Self still sitting in Chair 1, and your WouldaCoulda Self still sitting in Chair 2.  Ask them to figure out how to do both – how to “be Safe” and “have Fun,” or how to “have Integrity” and “Success,” or whatever your Meaningful words were.

Then, Change the Subject.  Asking is one of the “A’s” in PIAVA.  Once you’ve gotten Honest with yourself about your Hesitations and Regrets, all manner of new ideas may pop up.  Jot them down.  But mostly you want to Open Up Space for New Material to come into your Life, and you can’t do that without Changing the Subject, because your old Birdcage is too Strong.

Now you can go off and do something else.  You don’t even have to revisit it later, unless you want to.  Chances are you’ll start Changing your Life and doing new things without even thinking about it.

The 24 October events are asteroid Juno backing into Taurus at 1am PDT, and the Full Moon at 10 am PDT. 

Juno represents the Edges of Consciousness.  In Gemini it was Opening Up to Change; in Taurus it’s likely to revert to Conservatism.  Conservatism means needing an Authority, not Trusting one’s own inherent Wisdom and Instinct.  Knowing this, we can Notice when we aren’t Trusting our own Perspective, and regard it as an Opportunity to Liberate ourself from that Limitation. 

Juno won’t return to Gemini till 24 December.  It crosses Sedna – Fear – around election day in the USofA.  Between now and then, Teach as many people as you can how to convert Fear into Power (see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2018/10/14/another-molt-i/).

The Full Moon Merges with our Soul (Uranus-Moon) and our Heart (Venus-Sun) and our Mission (Square the Nodes).  There’s a good chance, if we’re Open to it, that we’ll be Remembering things from other TimeLines that are Important to our current Lives (OR10 T-Square on Atropos Opposite Juno-Lachesis) and making Shifts in our current TimeLine accordingly. 

Or, if we Remember that All There Is Is Now, Important things may be Bleeding Through from our Parallels.  We’ve been taught that we can’t Change the Past.  Of course that’s Fake News, but if we Believe it, then Parallel Lives make everything more Flexible than “Past” Lives.  Which is all the more Important because the overarching Sappho Station is Merged with Unlimited Potential (dwarf planet Chaos) and our Forbidden Genius (Opposite dwarf planet Ixion).

Expanding or Floating up to the County Level will be a good practice this coming week, so we can have the Perspective we need to make the Multidimensional tweeks to our Life or Lives that we’ll be Inspired to make.

Another Molt V

All losses must be Grieved, including the loss of an old Ego.  Dr. Kim D’Eramo gives us some timely advice on this…
