Okay, done with that. Hope your Days weren’t too “Dark.” Surprises always have a way of popping up, but other than the 4 May Integrity New Moon, I don’t see anything complicated coming up till mid-May. Hooray!
3-5 May will witness the Global Earth Repair Conference, featuring John Lui (who Restored China’s Loess Plateau to Health using Seaberries), Permaculture Magician Sepp Holzer’s protege Zach Weiss, Findhorn veteran Alan Featherstone, Alchemist David Yarrow, Buffalo Field Campaign founder Mike Mease, Earth Magician Rebecca Wildbear, Bee Restoration activist Benjamin Pixie, Xerxes Society Director Eric Lee-Mäder, Anti-Greed activist Vicky Robin, Jefferson Land Trust Director Erik Kingfisher, Organic Seed Alliance founder Forest Shomer, Permaculture NA Magazine co-founder Hannah Apricot Eckberg, Biochar evangelist Francesco Tortorici, Organic Consumers Association co-founder Ronnie Cummins, Friends of the Trees founder Michael Pilarski, and a long list of other Global and Indigenous environmental activists from around the World.
All that said, the Arcturians are planning to take advantage of our Respite to beef up their downloads, with Energy from the Orion neighborhood this time…
“We have sensed for quite some time that you have achieved a readiness for some new downloads, but understand that these decisions are not left entirely up to us. We communicate with other councils and collectives, and then we approach your higher selves with our suggestions for the next set of downloads. And not every higher self will always be in agreement with those of us in the ninth dimension. So then, we give the downloads to those of you who have granted us permission from the perspective of your higher selves.
“We see you as your higher selves, but when we connect to that aspect of who you are, you are not always aware. Some of you have your interactions with us directly, and you remember them. Others travel to our dimension while asleep and have your interactions with us there, but most are unaware of these interactions.
“So the latest set of downloads that are coming in to those that have agreed to receive them are about bringing in more of the energies from the Orion System. The Orion System has been home to some of the deepest, darkest moments in galactic history, but ultimately good triumphed. Notice we didn’t say, “good triumphed OVER evil.” Good did not defeat evil in the Orion System. Good magnified its light to such an extent that there were massive conversions to the light. And so, when you receive these downloads, you do get all of that, but you also get the rest.
“You get the oppression, the slavery, the war, and all the rest. So it means that there will be some processing with these downloads, but that ultimately there will be great amounts of integration, and there will be even greater amounts of light that you will receive. So if you begin having dreams or memories of those lifetimes in the Orion System that were so significant, then you know you are one of the ones that gave that consent from the perspective of your higher self. Others of you may still have given that consent, and will receive the downloads, but will unpack them when you are ready.
“Either way, we know that all of you who are receiving the downloads can handle them and that they will ultimately bring peace and harmony to the human collective, because if the Orions could do it, anyone can.”
If your “Dark Days” were terrible, be sure to take a rest here. You can always “unpack” the downloads “when you are ready” and rested. Burnout serves no one, and pushing ourselves beyond our Endurance can actually set us back.
Even the 4 May New Moon is pretty Benign. The most intense part is Transcendence of the Limits on how much we Own our own Power instead of being Compelled to Give it Away or tailor our Behavior to the Reactions of Others. Nothing to rue there, except maybe some Resistance to Re-Experiencing old Bummers. Welcome them, as it’s all about Letting Go. The Transcendence is based on Realignment of our Boundaries and Beliefs (Hylonome/Bee-Zed T-Square on Vesta-Pallas Opposition).
The Current nine-year Cycle of Transcending Codependence (Bee-Zed to Hylonome) began back in mid-September 2018 at 8 Capricorn, “In a Sun-lit home domesticated Birds sing Joyously.” Domesticated Birds! So much for Transcending Codependence. But remember that deep in the Psyche Opposites are Equal, because the Unconscious doesn’t Recognize Direction, only Dimension. So we can Interpret this Cycle as Becoming Aware of our Codependence.
And of course as we pointed out earlier, the New Moon occurs in front of the Fixed Star Aldebaran, which Demands Integrity from us. Remember that you can Choose Yintegrity (Doing What You Feel Like Doing Moment to Moment). You don’t have to Choose Yangtegrity (Doing What You Said You’d Do). Choosing Yintegrity just requires frequent Renegotiation and occasional Amends.
To help us celebrate our Respite, Mom has given us some “naked-eye Sprites” – Lightning that occurs above Thunderstorms, connecting the Thunderhead to the upper layers of our Atmosphere on the edge of Space, and usually not so easily viewed from below…
Or maybe Musk or Bezos has gotten a few of their Mars Junkets ready ahead of time without telling anyone. Or maybe just more Alien Ships, eh? Orionites even!
Okay, the Pluto Station has passed under the bridge and moved on down the River, though as I said earlier, it may linger because the three Stations (Pluto, Chariklo, Saturn) are only a few Degrees apart. I used to Experience Pluto Stations as though I was “swimming through Jello,” but lately, while there’s a good deal of momentary Confusion, it’s been Feeling fairly ordinary. Anyone finding Differently?
So to the extent that Pluto has moved on, we’re left in the Thick of Chariklo-Saturn-South Node, or Confidence-Attention-Karma. Or, The Most Important Thing is to Stay in the Present Moment, or to Distinguish between the Present Moment and our Regressions. One downside I’d not be Surprised to see is that our Karma will shake up our Confidence, and we’d be swimming in Self-Doubt instead of Jello, or worse, in Self-Recrimination. Whenever the South Node is lit up – or asteroid Karma, or our Karma for any reason, astrological or otherwise, most of what we Experience will be Illusion.
We could easily be imagining the worst Outcome possible, then when something appears to move in that direction, we jump to the conclusion that it already, indeed, has. For instance, if we’re thinking about how a friend might Abandon us, or thinking about Abandoning them, and they make a comment that might be interpreted as Criticism, even if it wasn’t meant that way, we could Receive their comment as the very Abandonment we’d been Expecting, and React accordingly, leaving our former friend wondering what happened.
That’s a good example, as it Illustrates how we grasp our Karma rather than the other way ’round. Of course the critical element is the Depth of our Karmic Trance – that’s what Karma is after all, a Trance, one that Separates us from the Present Moment.
Pluto of course is all about Trance – we usually express it as a Transformation, or Formation of a New Trance. The key to Karma is Awareness that we’ve Left the Present Moment. Back in the 1980s we would ask ourselves, “What color is the wallpaper?” because if it was not the same as the wallpaper in the room where we were Abused, just that had the potential to jolt us out of our Unconscious Surrender to our Regression.
So with Pluto Involved (it’s still Involved even as its Influence lessens), our odds of Transforming our Karmic Trance into Awareness are actually greater.
The Karmic Trance can be very all-consuming Emotionally. If we Hear someone Criticizing us or otherwise Shaking our Confidence, it may not matter what their Intentions are, it may Light a Fire in us that’s not easily extinguishable.
Everyone has some degree of Karmic Abandonment, and everyone has some degree of Karmic “Suffocation” – the Feeling that someone is watching us too closely, waiting for us to slip up, eager to label us Wrong, or itching Limit our Freedom. The Libertarians carry their Suffocation to Extremes, and are proud of it. Often, for each of us, either Abandonment or Suffocation dominates, but we can be Strong in both. By Distinguishing when we’re Feeling Abandoned and when we’re feeling Suffocated, we up the odds that we’ll be able to recognize that it’s Our Abandonment and Our Suffocation.
When we Own these two Emotions, we can more easily Differentiate situations where we’re Being Abandoned or Suffocated, from situations where we’re Feeling Abandoned or Suffocated. If we can do that, we up the odds that we can retract our Projections – rather than Feel Criticized and clam up, we might ask what the other person meant when they said that. Of course, just because we’re Feeling Abandoned or Suffocated, doesn’t mean we aren’t also Being Abandoned or Suffocated – “Just because I’m Paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get me,” as we used to say.
But Recognizing these Feelings will help you decipher whether the Emotion and the Experience match in Intensity. When they don’t, we’re either Tranced into our Karma, (when the Emotion is much more Intense than the Experience) and need to Wake Up, or we’re looking into the open jaws of a Held Emotion – that is, Tranced into Avoiding our Karma (when the Emotion is much less Intense than the Experience). While Avoiding Karma may feel like Success, it’s not. It means that our Karma is hiding in the Unconscious, where it’s pulling our puppet-strings.
One of the hardest things about Held Emotions is that they’re undercover. Since we’d rather Die than Feel them, we’re highly Skilled at Avoiding them. The Ego’s job is to keep us Alive, and if the Ego thinks we’ll Die, it’s going to Excel at Avoiding that situation. So if we can Detect a clue to a Held Emotion by Arbitraging our Experiences and our Emotions instead of just Freaking Out, then thinking in terms of Abandonment and Suffocation will have done you a solid.
In a way it’s like your Study of Anxiety – where you’re Learning to distinguish between your fast-moving Emotions (a la Goofy) and your drudging thoughts about them (aka Anxiety).
And don’t forget Poor-Sweetheart. Poor-Sweethearting a Real Emotion or a fake one can Feel like Avoidance, but it’s not. Once you Empathize with what you’re really Experiencing or Feeling, you’ve already Changed the Trance. When you then Successfully Change the Subject, you Step Out of your Karmic Trance, and every time you Step Out you build your Antikarmic Muscles. Pretty soon you have a whole new set of Patterns.
Well, I’m not sure that the Assemblage Point that Donna Eden spoke about this morning is the same Assemblage Point that Don Juan used to tell Castaneda about, but her version is fascinating…
That should be available free online through 24 April and the early hours of 25 April. If I put Donna’s main point into my own Metaphor, I’d say the Assemblage Point is a little Cloud of Light a couple of feet in front of your Heart Chakra, with a Genie sitting on it waiting for you to Notice them. The Genie is your Soul.
Here’s another Teaching about how to Lighten Up. It will be online till about 9am PDT 24 April. It’s Dr. Sue Morter speaking about Energy Flows in the Body, how the Unconscious interacts with the Body, how to Ground and Stabilize the Body and bring it back into Balance (including Kegels), and many other very Integrative Perspectives…
A couple of comments on the previous post, “Dark Days” 3…
We can’t Deny either Reality; we can only PIAVA that the Arcturians are right when they tell us that Huperity is actually starting to Wake Up. If “the medium is the message,” then these suggests that it is. Two more Asseverations…
My two primary heroes growing up were the Lone Ranger from the movies they showed Saturday mornings in the church basement, and Jesus from the stories that they told in Sunday School the next day. It didn’t take long for me to figure out that most folks who called themselves “Christians” actually followed the Olde Testament more than what Jesus actually taught, except when they were preaching to someone else. So it didn’t dawn on me that our “Dark Days” and Easter happen to coincide this year. Marilyn Raffaele did pick up on that in her Channeling today…
“Dear ones, we greet you on this religious holiday of Easter being celebrated in Christian communities the world over in remembrance of the suffering, death, and resurrection of the master teacher Jeshua. However, just as with the Christmas story, Easter also holds much deeper meaning and every human is living the Easter story at some level.
“Every individual throughout their many lifetimes has experienced the death of old beliefs and the integration of new ones but always within the third dimensional belief system. This is how evolution happens. At some point a spiritual completion of sorts is reached and the death of what has become one’s outgrown state of consciousness begins. The soul has reached a place of readiness for new and higher dimensional awareness although usually not consciously aware of it.
“Many past lives were short and filled with suffering while others were long and fulfilling but all were necessary in order for the soul to experience and grow from every aspect of three dimensional living and then move on which begins with a growing sense of dissatisfaction with what has previously been comfortable and normal.
“Confusion and a sense of loss comes as a person gradually begins to shift out of alignment with some friends, traditional family values, religious doctrine, certain foods, entertainments, work, etc. This is the period in which many make futile attempts to restore that which they feel they are losing, not realizing that their energy is no longer in alignment with these things.
“The death throes of one’s old state of consciousness can be painful on one or all levels but is short or long depending upon resistance. This is the period known as the ‘Dark night of the soul’ — the part of the Master’s story where he was alone, confused, and praying in the desert with a sense of what was coming.
“Change is eventually embraced and understood as being necessary and [we begin] to seek, accept, and practice increasingly higher levels of truth. The length of this phase varies with every individual and often extends through lifetimes. However, there eventually comes the personal resurrection and ascension that births a new state of consciousness. The Easter story is your story.
“You have all lived as both genders, all colors, warriors, rich and poor, good and bad, etc. Every lifetime experience has served to develop your intelligence and wisdom so that over time you became a person wise and experienced regarding the best forms of three dimensional living and survival. It was not meant for this to be the final goal, but rather a portion of your journey toward remembering — every experience a step along the way to higher awareness.
“Ascension is a process. When a spiritually prepared person becomes comfortable in their three dimensional world believing that they have reached the pinnacle of success and that there is nothing more, this world will often collapse on one or more levels — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually allowing the first stage of their personal Easter to begin.
“For those living fully in the the third dimensional belief system these types of experiences are usually the manifestation of their belief in duality and separation but for the spiritually evolved, they represent the dissolution of the person’s old illusory belief system. Always remember that nothing real can ever be lost but rather only changes form. That which seems to have disappeared will reappear in better and higher form if it is a part of one’s consciousness of wholeness.
“The crucifixion of one’s belief system can be an excruciating experience leaving the person with no foundation to depend upon or to look toward for answers and solutions. Friends and family often try to assist during this period but are unable to because the three dimensional tools they offer are not in alignment with the higher frequency process taking place.
“After many ‘failures’ to recreate what has been lost with three dimensional solutions, [we begin] to give up and stop resisting which then allows [us] to open to the inner guidance that has always been present but ignored. [We] begin to disengage from the false beliefs that created the pain and suffering, and enter the ‘tomb’ to rest and process what has taken place.
“A new and higher state of consciousness is born as the individual rises out of [their] personal death and darkness, a consciousness that only those at a similar level of awareness can recognize. As [they begin] incorporating and living from their new awareness, more truth unfolds and they become increasingly enlightened until at a certain point they are ready for ascension out of their old state of consciousness.
“On earth at this time, ascension means the shift of consciousness out of the third dimension and into the fifth, a dimension governed by frequencies of unconditional love and Oneness.
“The Christ is already fully present within each and every person but can not be experienced until recognized. Many continue to cry out, ‘How could a loving God allow this?’ God activity cannot be present in a vacuum but must flow through his expressions on earth. It is the same as having a large bank account that one is totally unaware of and so lives ignorantly in poverty.
“Through unawakened ignorance, the third dimensional state of consciousness has created the world of pain, suffering, lack, and limitation that most have come to accept as normal. A world that many continue begging God to change. Divine Consciousness knows nothing about what three dimensional thinking is creating because illusion does not exist in Divine Consciousness. This is why the changes you wish to see, you must create.
“The Easter experience is here for all who choose it. Mankind is now in the midst of the suffering, pondering, and dying part in preparation for resurrecting out of the duality and separation that has ruled and governed over hundreds of lifetimes.
“Up to now individuals had to physically die in order to ascend to a higher dimension, but at this powerful time mankind is ascending while in physical body. The integration of higher more refined Light energies cannot take place with the old still in place, which is why most of you are in the process of clearing old cellular energy and remaining karmic issues at this time.
“Arcturian Group wishes to speak of the energy changes taking place on earth. As the frequencies of earth become increasingly refined, there comes increasing chaos because when Light flows to that which is dark and heavy, it causes a reaction.
“Those continuing to hold tightly to the illusions of old energy are experiencing resistance and fear as they struggle through means that no longer work, to keep the status quo. Everyone, those awake and those who are not, is experiencing the higher frequency energies, but because many do not understand what is going on, they are acting out in ways that make sense to their unawakened consciousness.
“Negative and false beliefs are beginning to be recognized for what they are, in the awareness of an increasing number of people starting to realize that they no longer agree with many of the beliefs and laws they previously accepted. People are waking up the world over and starting to question what they have been told which in turn is causing resistance and action on the part of those who thrive from everything remaining in old energy.
“Hold to your center dear ones, holding the Light of truth closely within you at all times. [Avoid getting] overly involved in the negative appearances that confront your awareness every day. Concern and worry over appearances only adds more energy to those very things. Allow false creations to dissolve into the nothingness that they really are, which will happen if they are no longer fed.
“Much is yet to be revealed. Let trust and truth be your shield and sword, always remembering that nothing can make you less than the Divine Being that you are. If someone were to shoot you in the heart, you would continue simply watching the show but from a different seat. You are Divine beings always have been and forever will be, for there is nothing else.
“Your worth is stable and everlasting no matter what. By the way, this wasn’t an easy conclusion to come to. I spent a long time alone without a lot of these things [job, family, money, house, ‘expressing myself a certain way, looking a certain way, etc.. You can fill in your own blanks’] because I needed to learn I was worthy without them.
“One day when I thought I had had enough of ‘learning,’ it dawned on me that without all of these things that I thought were so important – I am talking make-or-break, life-or-death – that I was still here. It sounds incredibly simple, but I spent so much time believing that these external things (could be anything for you) were what validated and affirmed my life! Then I had the epiphany that I still very much exist with or without them. I am valid with or without them. I am an amazing, abundant person with or without them.”
A few folks have expressed that these “Dark Days” posts have Frightened them. But how can anyone be Frightened by their own Karma, which they’ve so Intimately Lived With their whole Lives? Well, actually, it’s easy – we’ve all painted a False Ego over our True Selves, and over our Karma, and it’s that False Ego that’s Frightened, because it Fears (Ego) Death. But we’ve gone through Ego Death before, many times, haven’t we, and guess what – we’re still here! With Uranus now in Taurus (Descent of Soul into Flesh), what an excellent Opportunity to Notice the Difference between Ego and Soul!
And as always, the Emergence of Fear is itself a fabulous Opportunity to Remember that Fear + Breathing = Excitement and Fear + Kegels = Power. That’s especially relevant now, because Power and Chariklo’s primary characteristic, Self-Confidence, go hand in hand. With seven-day Sensitivity, Chariklo’s Strengthening of Influence (Station) begins today. And it’s not a huge leap to go from Pluto’s Compulsion, to Motivation, to Excitement (Pluto’s Station is Exact in only three days). So Fear is Right On here, we just need to Respond to it Lovingly and Powerfully.
Remember the Lesson that Pluto taught us – that when Emotions are operating properly, they “go right through us,” and move on in a few moments?
If any Emotion befalls you and lasts more than five minutes, it’s no longer an Emotion that you’re Experiencing, it’s your Thoughts about your Emotion. Those Thoughts are 99.9% Bullshit. You’ve just gone from whatever Emotion you originally Encountered, to the Emotion of Anxiety. When you try to Live your Life from the Bullshit Contents of the Stories that your Anxious Thoughts tell you, Failure is guaranteed.
The most Life-Changing thing we can Learn from these “Dark Days” (Pluto-Chariklo-Saturn-South Node) Dramas is to Notice that we’re in Anxiety and Deal With it as Anxiety. That means Embracing it as the Emotion that it is, Poor-Sweethearting ourself (“You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Feeling Anxiety, aren’t you”), and Changing the Subject. When Anxious Thoughts Bully their way back in, Rinse and Repeat, as often as necessary. It’s not how many times we Fall Down that counts, it’s how many times we Get Up.
♥ Here’s an excellent way to Lighten Up these “Dark Days” – Donna Eden’s free Energy Medicine & Healing Summit that lasts all week, 22-26 April, led by her daughter Dondi Dahlin, at…
I’m told that each session will be available for 48 hours after it plays live. I’m looking forward to…
Donna herself speaking about TheAssemblage Point (“The Power of this extraordinary Energy and how to Align with it; How it works with the Aura and the Heart Chakra; How figure eights keep it shining bright”) and
Judith Orloff on Balance as an Empath (“Identify if you’re an Empath and/or highly Sensitive person; Discover why you feel exhausted, anxious, and physically ill; Learn how to Set Boundaries and Trust your Intuition),
…both Tuesday morning. While I think of an Ego Death as a Shift in our “Assemblage Point,” I don’t really Know what Castaneda’s Don Juan meant by that term. I expect Donna, Seeing Energy as she does, will Know though, so I’m Excited to hear what she has to say about it.
♥ Here’s our “Dark Days” Itinerary…
17-24 April (more or less) – Strong Compulsions, best not Resisted, though they can be Modified if necessary to Avoid Untoward Consequences, or “Surfed” for a Gravity Boost to your Orbit. If lack of Alignment with your Self-Image or Social Mask seems like a problem, Allow your Image or Mask to Evolve, Gently. (Pluto Stationary in 24 Capricorn, 11:30 am 24 April)
19 April to 3 May – Soulful Full Moon (see previous and future posts)
21-28 April – Watch closely for any sign of Self-Doubt, and rather than giving it any Credence, regard it as a Regression into the most Self-Sabotaging parts of your Childhood Programming. “You Poor Sweetheart, you’ve been Programmed into Doubting yourself, haven’t you.” If your Inner Child doesn’t Show Up for a Hug and maybe a Chat, Pretend that they have. (Chariklo Station in 25 Capricorn, 3pm 28 April)
22-29 April – We need to Stay Focused on One Thing here, and it needs to be The Most Important Thing. For you in this context (ie, everything else that’s going on), that may feel like Rescuing Your Partner or Someone Else who’s Important to you, or Saving Your Relationship or Your Income or Your Domicile or some other Materially or Emotionally Important issue. Which is Fine, but do Recognize that you’ll be Abandoning your True Self if whoever you’re Rescuing, or whatever you’re Saving, is Contrary to your Liberation or to your Soul’s Truth.
No Worries, you may just be Learning the last few Lessons that you need to Learn in order to be Truly Ready to Transcend. This isn’t our only Opportunity to Ascend, after all, just our Most Powerful One, one where we’re Jet-Propelled. Before we’re Jet-Propelled into our Liberation, we’re likely to be Jet-Propelled into our “Shit,” so Awareness is key here. We Want to stay Conscious of the Difference between What We Want and What We Don’t Want, and focus on the former as much as we can. (Saturn Stationary in 21 Capricorn, 5pm PST 29 April)
23-30 April – Yes, it may well Feel Awful, because you may be Face to Face with your Held Emotions, the ones you’d rather Die than Feel. There are literally No Greater Opportunities to Liberate yourself from your Limitations and your Self-Sabotage – from your Karma. Remember the story of Sisiutl, a two-headed Monster so Scary that It turns to Stone whomever Sees It. But, if you Stand Still for It as It approaches you, Its two heads will See Each Other – and Sisiutl will turn to Stone! (Saturn Merges with True South Node, Exact at noon PDT 30 April)
Which leaves us with a Pattern that looks like this…
In other words, it’s pretty much All At Once. We might Feel greater Compulsion early, and greater Focus later, or we might just feel Heavy, or like Shit, for the whole two weeks – the Pluto, Chariklo, Saturn, and Saturn-South Node events are also all within a few Degrees of one another, increasing the likelihood of Merger. When the Energies Merge, our Unconscious Reaction will likely be something like The Most Important Thing is to Stop This Persistent Feeling that I’m Dying, Compulsively using Food, Alcohol, Drugs, Sex, or whatever Crutches we’re accustomed to using.
A Conscious Response might be The Most Important Thing is to Take Advantage of this Incredible Opportunity to Liberate myself from these Karmic Chains that have become so Graphically Clear. So how might we go about that Liberation? Lots of Tapping. Lots of Alternating Theta and Tapping to Distinguish our Anxiety from Reality (see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava/theta/). Lots of Poor-Sweethearting. There’s Grace in the Full Moon chart that will Help; we’ll talk more about that soon.
It’ll help to have Buddies who understand what we Want and what’s likely to Block us from it, so they can Remind us at strategic moments what’s The Most Important Thing. We can score the Chocolate or the Tequila after we ditch them, but meanwhile they will have slowed down our Self-Destruction.
A friend once said, “I know that ThisToo will Change. But you, as an astrologer, know When it will Change!” No matter how Crummy you Feel, know that your Work will bring an Abundance of May Flowers, and it’s not far away.
Sorry to be AWOL for the last week – I’ve been waaay too busy with Necessities. As you know from earlier posts, the theme of the last week has been Health and Self-Sovereignty – Hope you’ve improved on both counts, or you can use any Untoward Experience to help define for future reference how NOT to improve.
By now we’re working up to a Soulful Full Moon (Sun Conjunct Uranus) that aims to Teach us all about Transitions (Cusps). We Enjoy Changes for the Better, but other Changes, not so much. Not that we’re Transitioning into “Worse,” but we are Transitioning into More Intense. For example…
The Full Moon itself sits on the Cusp of Scorpio, which is about getting our Fill of Meeting People, and beginning to try to Discover why the Experience hasn’t been as Fabulous as we’d hoped. If you deal with this as your own Anxiety (ie, Tap It Out) rather than Judging other people for their “Faults,” you’ll be waaay ahead.
The Full-Moon Sun sits at the end of Aries (Raw Creativity), along with Uranus (Soul) in early Taurus (having to make our Creativity Pay Off). That can be a lot less Fun than just Playing. However, it’s not about “Paying Off” Materially, it’s about Paying Off in terms of Learning to Accept Who We Really Are. While that will likely require Letting Go of Who We Thought We Were, the Rewards will be Immense. “katie” has a whole essay on this for us, and it’s a good one…
The Full-Moon Axis is Challenged (Squared) by another Contrast (Opposition), between on one hand Realizing that our Health doesn’t Happen To Us, it’s actually Created by our own Beliefs (Varuna on the Cusp of Leo), and on the other hand…
Our Trust in Other People, especially People Who Aren’t Like Us (Eurydike-Hopi on the Cusp of Aquarius). Sounds Oxymoronic, or just Moronic, that we’d Contrast Health with Trust in Others, kind of an Apples-and-Oil-Changes sort of Comparison. But astrology does that frequently, to keep us from Preferring our Dualistic mind-Map to Multifarious Reality. In this case we might, just to dream up an example, Realize that Feeling a Need for Support from Others could be a Motivation for Feeling Poorly.
Worse (because it’s a T-Square rather than a Grand Cross), we do have some Major Ego Deaths scheduled, as we’ll be Finishing Up a Whole Catalog of Emotions, and Starting out on a Whole New Way of Thinking (the focus of the T-Square is Mercury-Venus-Klotho on the Cusp of Aries).
The first Challenge (Square) to this is some potentially Painful Shifts in our Consciousness (Nemesis-Juno on the Cusp of Cancer). Deal with these using Self-Empathy will pay dividends – eg, Poor-Sweethearts… “You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Feeling [Ungrounded][Out of Sorts][Confused][Hurt][…], aren’t you.” Remember to Change the Subject afterwards, repeatedly if necessary. And Remember to Banish Blame.
The second Challenge (Square) to our now-Obsolete Feeling and Thinking Patterns is a Renewed Sense of Responsibility to our Unique but Latent Genius (Ixion-Pholus on the Cusp of Capricorn). Give your Emotions and Thoughts the Assignment of coming up with Practical Baby Steps toward Expressing and Using your Unique Genius. You don’t need the “Violence” of Coming Out All At Once, you can just take One Small Step every day, so there’s some Continuity between your old PC Self that Others are Comfortable with, and your new True Self that may be Shocking to some of them (the T-Square creates a Vacancy on the Cusp of Libra).
Finally, Change is Scary (Sedna on the Cusp of Gemini), especially when the Change is aimed toward Increasing our Self-Sovereignty (Sedna Squared by Lilith on the Cusp of Pisces). Folks who base their Security on our Meeting their Expectations will need to go through all sorts of Changes themselves as we start to Affirm Who We Really Are. They could easily Express that through Anger. What if they’re our employer or customers? Trust that you’ll get more mileage out of Self-Worth than you ever would out of Giving Away Your Power, even if the Transition is rough.
That’s ten of the twelve Cusps. The other two are about the Enormous Grace available to us if we simply Accept That Big Changes Are Happening (the Cusp of Virgo completes a Grand Sextile) and if we Surrender into Letting Go of What’s Become Obsolete (the Cusp of Sagittarius Completes a Grand Unx).
Remember the “Grand Unx”? That’s when twelve planets are more or less evenly spaced around the whole Zodiacal Loop. We only have nine of the twelve here, but we’ve made credible cases for including the other three. (Well, okay, they aren’t all planets per se, but they’re all strong Symbolic Points.) An “Unx” is one twelfth of something, and the Twelfth Harmonic is about Pattern-Breaking. That means that if we Look Forward, with Gratitude and even Excitement, to Who We’re Going to Become on the Other Side of the Changes, we can Thrive in what might otherwise be Difficult Circumstances.
This 19 April (4am PDT) Full Moon sets us up for two weeks that Ego-Fluffing, Materialistic, and Victim-Oriented astrologers will refer to as Dark Days, as they’re Dominated by Dances between Pluto (Ego Death / Trance Re-Formation), Saturn (Limitation / Prioritization), and the South Node (Karma / Recovering Lost Skills). Chariklo (Threats to / Enhancement of, Self-Confidence) joins in.
While we might Experience all this as Deaths and Doubts caused by Limitations and Karma, we have the Option to Reframe it as a Nascent State of Consciousness filled with Enhanced Self-Worth, brought about by Attention to our Highest Priorities and by Letting Go of our Habitual Self-Sabotage. The 19 April Scorpio Cusp Full Moon, if we Listen Carefully to Her Lessons, will set us up to “Win” this Portal, which is important because…
The following 4 May New Moon at the Midpoint of Taurus adjoins the Fixed Star Aldebaran, Harbinger of Spring (Dawn, Rebirth, Change, Revolution) and one of the four Royal Stars of Persia, symbolic of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Each of these four Great Stars Promise “Great Success” as long as we Avoid one Vulnerability that is the Downfall of each…
“In the case of Aldebaran, this challenge is one of integrity and honor. Greatness can be achieved but the individual will be challenged on issues of integrity and purity of their thoughts and dealings. If they fail this test they will lose everything.” — (Bernadette) Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars, p.233
“It is an opportune time for you all to be arranging your day by the order of what is most important to you. We see many of you trying to get things accomplished, and we also notice how you feel when you do not cross off enough items on your to-do lists. So now would be an excellent time for you to prioritize what is actually most important to you, and then to let go of the responsibility that you often take on for getting it done yourselves. You don’t need to get the credit for having put in the hours and the blood, sweat, and tears, at this point in your spiritual evolution. You are beyond all of that.
“You are beyond justifying all of the things that come to you. It is time for you to let go of that idea that you have to earn what comes your way, and it is much better for all of you to work with the energies that are coming in to serve. The energies that are coming in at this time want to co-create with you, but they cannot do so if you are tense and if you are running around all day, trying to get things done. They work best with those who believe in magic. They work best with those who are relaxed and at ease, and of course, they work best with those who are unattached to outcomes.
“If you need to not only get what you want, but also get the credit for having worked for it, then the energies coming in are not for you. They are for those who dare to dream and then let go of that dream, and they certainly are for those who have given up the struggle, who have stopped playing the game that most of society is playing. These energies are more likely to co-create with you when you are sitting or lying down comfortably and offering a vibration that comes somewhere close to their neighborhood.
“This is not even about positive thinking. This is more about letting go of limited thinking, limited beliefs, and embracing the power of this time that you are in. And of course, we also want to see you embracing the power within you as a Source Energy Creator Being. And there is no need for any of you to prove yourselves to anyone or anything outside of you at this point. You’ve all done that before. It’s been done to death, and it’s time for a new way of co-creating your reality.”
Turns out today’s 10 April (10am PDT), 25 Sagittarius Jupiter Station doesn’t just Oppose the Moon, it Opposes Moon-Juno-Chaos-Nemesis. That’s a Merger of Instinct, the Edges of Consciousness, Unlimited Potential, and Ego Death. Contrast that to the concept of Expansion (Jupiter). If that’s Incomprehensible – many astroevents aren’t Comprehensible – it’s because our version of astrology deals with the Multifarious Unity that is Reality rather than the Dualistic Cage that is the mind.
If we bottom-up speculate, Combining Instinct and the Edges of Consciousness might give us something like Becoming More Aware of our Instincts. Adding Unlimited Potential (and Expansion) might make Becoming Aware of the Vast Universe that our Instincts can Reveal, that wasn’t Available to our mind. And of course, to add Ego Death, It’s Critical that we are Open to Believing when we see the Vast Universe that our Instincts Reveal, rather than Dismiss it out of hand because it doesn’t fit into our previous picture of the Universe.
Oh, did I mention that all this Challenges (T-Squares) Analysis (Mercury). The first two syllables of that word aren’t arbitrary.
And speaking of Sovereignty, there’s another Challenge (Square) in the Jupiter-Station chart, between Lilith (Self-Sovereignty) and Sedna (Converting Fear to Power). Sounds familiar, eh?
And finally, Rebirth (Haumea) and Truth (Aletheia) Dance with (Oppose) Revelation of what’s been Denied (Eris) and (Square to) our Karmic Journey (the Nodal Axis, still with Compulsion/Pluto and Response-Ability/Pholus and Trust/Eurydike Merged With/Conjunct Karma/South Node).
Not to worry – two of these Challenges are Self-Resolving (Diamond Stars), echoing Dan’s Channeling. The two are Rebirth-Truth, and Our Lifetime Mission (North Node).
Chapter 1 – Life’s introduction of Awareness Intelligence
We all can become aware of life’s compelling arguments, and the structure of persuasion is decipherable through human Awareness Intelligence. Let’s welcome life to introduce itself to us.
“Hello, here’s life speaking. Some call me also consciousness or life intelligence. I’m the all-animating source energy that has inbreathed life into more than a hundred billion people only until today, let alone the trillions of other forms I’ve brought to life and the even more births to come in the future. All my creatures do value me, life, as the highest good of all, which speaks for the uttermost importance of continuing to become aware of me in all its aspects and manifestations, but especially as the infinite and eternal energy I am. There were some misunderstandings, complaints, and returns in the past, but the possibilities of the joys of life haven’t even yet been realized fully. The latest focus to improve the user experience is called ‘Awareness Intelligence.’ I know that humans have been waiting for it. It’s a feature of human existence that is now pre-installed in all current models. So, please remove possible defective externally downloaded software and instead allow the activation of life’s update of the original operating system, so to speak in modern terms. I’m thrilled to present herewith the manual on how to switch on and use this fantastic capability to not only dream about a utopia, but to create a realistic awaria, a possible world of holy, whole, and wholesome awareness to meet and exceed the expectations of the next generations of liberated human souls.” – Your life
And of course as we pointed out earlier, the New Moon occurs in front of the Fixed Star Aldebaran, which Demands Integrity from us. Remember that you can Choose Yintegrity (Doing What You Feel Like Doing Moment to Moment). You don’t have to Choose Yangtegrity (Doing What You Said You’d Do). Choosing Yintegrity just requires frequent Renegotiation and occasional Amends.
Or maybe Musk or Bezos has gotten a few of their Mars Junkets ready ahead of time without telling anyone. Or maybe just more Alien Ships, eh? Orionites even!
