Busy August II

I’ve made enough silly errors to know that they aren’t accidents, they’re Intuitions.  Shortly after I hit the Publish button I noticed that Nemesis wasn’t Conjunct Chiron at all, it was Conjunct the New Moon itself!  So that’s a whole ‘nother kettle of Fish, anticipating a bundle of Ego Death for us this month.  Fortunately, we know how to handle that, right?  Rather than correct the error-Intuition, I’ll leave it stand and reinterpret the “correct” Angles tomorrow.

Busy August I

August begins with a 31 July (8pm PDT) Leo 9 New Moon that Asks us rather bluntly, Do we Trust our Soul to Lead us? (Uranus [Soul] T-Square [Challenge] New Moon Opposite asteroid Eurydike [Trust]).  New Moons usually have a measurable impact for the following two to four weeks.  It’s a serious question, as the rest of August will demonstrate to us quite Clearly.

Our Temptation to Seek Approval outside of our Self, and an Invitation to Discontinue the Practice, is Brightly Illuminated, both as Grace (Uranus in a Grand Trine [Dumb-Luck Blessings] with dwarf planets Hylonome [Self-Sovereignty] and Orcus [Breaking Habits]; Lilith [Self-Determination] Conjunct dwarf planet Nessus [Abuse/Privilege] Oppose Orcus to complete the Kite) and as Challenge (Hylonome Squares Chiron [Despair/Miracles] and Nemesis [Ego Death]).

The last-named Challenge deserves a footnote or two.

Chiron as the Unhealable Healer is subject to Despair, which is Healed Instantaneously by Self-Empathy, hence our frequent suggestion to Poor-Sweetheart ourself (“You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Feeling [fill it in], aren’t you.” – then Change the Subject) when Chiron is involved.  Nemesis meanwhile symbolizes Guilt, which, if we are to maintain Unconditional Self-Love without rationalization, Invites a Change of Perspective that’s usually major enough to qualify as an Ego Death.

This Square has Major Tricolor Configurations (Square-Quincunx-Trine) to each end.  In a Tricolor, maintaining Curiosity about the Quincunx Liberates the Trine to ameliorate the Square…

• “I Wonder what ancient obsolete Oath I need to Renounce (Orcus) in order to Liberate myself from this Painful Guilt (Chiron-Nemesis) and Fear of Abandonment (Hylonome).”

• “I Wonder how I can Rebirth (New Moon) my Self-Sovereignty (Hylonome) to Cleanly Restore my Unconditional Self-Love (Chiron-Nemesis).”

Notice that there are no question marks.  If you hear a Small Still Voice giving you an Answer to one of these questions that Surprises you, the Wondering may have Inspired an Intuition which you can tentatively Accept.  If you Feel Lifted, it’s probably a good one.  If you hear Shouting it’s probably your Programmers; tell them to Buzz Off.  Otherwise, you don’t Want an Answer, because a Quincunx is a Mystery or Paradox, and an Answer will divert you from Growth in Consciousness.

31 July also sees Mercury turning Forward again for its third run across the last two Duads (2½ Degrees) of Cancer and the first two of Leo.  In a “proper” passage through Cancer we’d Nourish Other and Ourself well enough to Feel Solid about Ourself moving into Leo.  If we “flunk” Cancer we enter Leo with Guilt or worse, making the New Moon chart (and Nemesis-Chiron) appropriate.

Then we dive into the 1-5 August Strength (Station) of the astrological symbol for our Karma (asteroid Karma), Clarifying our homework for the rest of the month.  The focus is on our Vitality (dwarf planet Varuna), Truth (asteroid Veritas), and Survival (Quaoar-Pholus).

That’s followed by August’s main Event, the 5-11 August Strengthening (Stations) and Expansion of Soul entering Matter to supplant Ego (simultaneous Stations of Jupiter and Uranus, both with quite unusual charts).  It’s a huge Teaching for us (they make a Waxing Biquintile).  This Jupiter-Uranus Cycle began in June 2010 in the 1st Degree of Aries – “A Woman rising from the Sea, embraced by a Seal: Emergence of New Forms and of the Potentiality of Consciousness.”

These New Forms have Emerged and Fruited (the Phitile), and our Mission now is to Change the Subject so we can Allow them to Integrate with Whomever we’ve Become, without Interference from the Dualistic mind.  Since our Concept Set Defines our Reality, the mind is incapable of Embracing what we haven’t already Experienced in some way.  We need a Visitation from another Lifetime, or an Emotional Shock, to Motivate the Ego to Expand our Reality.

Once we Navigate that, the 15 August 23 Leo Full Moon brings with it a Monster Blessing (Grand Sextile) where six different Energies Cooperate almost Effortlessly.  “Almost” because we do need to kick-start them, but one we do they’re off and Running (Sextiles).  The six Collaborating Blessings are…

• Rebirth (Haumea)
• Transcendence (Bee-Zed)
• Our Instincts (Moon)
• Recognition of Reality (Eris-Atropos)
• Our Intuition (Asbolus)
• Deepening Self-Love (Sun-Venus-Sappho in Leo)

Our Concept of Truth then moves from the Head to the Heart (Aletheia entering Scorpio 16 August), and after several Sign Changes and the Beginning of a very Challenging Dance Converting Fear to Power (Sedna Stationary on Fixed Star Algol aka Medusa 22-29 August), we Reboot our Relationships on 24 August (Mars Initiates Venus) to Adapt them to the New Levels of Consciousness that we’ve Become Aware Of (5 Virgo).

May you all Enjoy the Journey, even if it gets Rocky at times!

Truthiness 2

The overall Configuration in the Veritas->Scorpio chart we included in the previous post is a lovely and very Symmetrical Square Fez with Chinstrap.  I know, Fezzes are made of felt, so a chinstrap would be a challenge, but what can I say, it’s in the chart.  The general rule for interpreting a Fez is to interpret the diagonal long green lines (Quincunxes).  With the chinstrap though we have three green wedges (Fingers of God), which stand out.  The three green wedgies point to…

• The symbol for Converting Fear to Power (Sedna)
• The compound symbol for Innovation in our Responsiveness to our Survival Instincts (Ixion-Pholus-Quaoar)
• A symbol for Truth (Veritas)

But we do need to remember that the long green lines symbolize Permanent Curiosity.  NOT the kind of Curiosity that begs for Answers, but the kind that remains in Awe and Wonder.  In other words, the long green lines Demand that we get the Hell out of Duality, out of the mind, and into the Heart.  Love Dies when Judgment replaces Curiosity.  Since All There Is Is Love, we Lose our Animation and become Virtual when we leave Curiosity – small Wonder that Automation is stealing our lunch, as Mechanical (Dualistic) as Western Culture has become.  The Fez diagonals can be interpreted as…

• I Wonder what happens to our Vitality (Venus-Sun-Varuna) when we can’t afford to live…like anywhere? (Quaoar-Pholus-Ixion)
• I Wonder how it is that Bad Habits and Chronic Pain (Karma-Chiron) are able to represent Truth (Veritas)

Though of course Bad Habits and Chronic Pain are only the Unconscious sides of asteroid Karma and dwarf planet Chiron.  The Conscious equivalents are “Oh, I can Choose Otherwise, can’t I!” and Self-empathy (“You Poor Sweetheart…) – Miracles, basically.

Veritas is the Roman translation of Truth.  The Greek version is Aletheia.  Asteroid Aletheia enters Scorpio 16 August.  Scorpio means Fearlessness – Scorpio is Compelled to Get to the Bottom of Things.  So we can expect Veritas and Aletheia traveling through Scorpio – which they do till November – to have a rather large impact on the current epidemic of Untruthiness.

I don’t know about you, but in the histories I was fed in school, the Romans were all about War and Organization and Political Intrigue, while the Greeks were all about Art and Sport and Philosophical Musing.  If we extrapolate that to Veritas and Aletheia, we can suppose that Veritas is more about the sort of Truth we Recognize in the Head and Aletheia the kind we Recognize in the Heart.  Of course “Head” is a Metaphor; Thought really resides in the Third Chakra, not the Sixth.

It’s important to Realize that there are no Facts, there are only Points of View.  So Head Truth is ultimately Unreliable.  It’s Fox-News Truth.  While Heart Truth is more Reliable, it’s Absolute only to the Individual – every Heart is Different.  And even for an Individual it isn’t Absolute in Time; our Values can Change as we Learn more Perspectives.  Truth is Situational.

What Truth provides for us is Situational Certainty, which Allows us to Act, and Set Situationally Appropriate Boundaries.  But Truth and Certainty are Either/Ors – and we know that Either/Ors are Political.  “Political” means they belong to the Ego, not the Soul.  Truth Feels Good, but it’s not the Bottom Line.  Nevertheless, we can expect the current Untruthiness to be severely Challenged over the next three months.

The symbol for Awareness (Mercury) turns forward-facing again on 31 July.  That’ll Enliven Head-Truth (Veritas) for a fortnight before Heart-Truth (Aletheia) joins the party.  Expect a lot of Argument and Debate.  Once Heart-Truth joins in, it will be more like, in the best case, Agreeing to Disagree, and in the worst case, Disconnection and Rancor.  August is a busy month.

A reader writes…

“What happens when we can’t afford to live…like anywhere?”

https://www.ptleader.com/stories/1845-glass-potatoes,63419?

For every Past Life we have a Past Death.  How many of those were about Starvation?  Maybe it’s time we Investigated that.  How did it Feel?  What Vows or Curses or Promises did we make under that Duress?  Maybe “Please God, if you let me out of this one I’ll never do that again”?

Asteroid Karma isn’t Stationary till 5 August, but Saturn still Dances Close with the South Node.  Remember when we talked about Held Emotions?  The Emotions that We would rather Die than Feel?  That’s We would rather Die than Feel, right?  Ego Death, right?  The South Node tells us that there is no Progress toward our Lifetime Mission until we Embrace our Held Emotions.  It would be Honorable to have a Lifetime Mission to Remember what if feels like to Starve to Death, but I’ll be surprised if a lot of us have that Mission.

If you haven’t read Steven Levine’s Who Dies? you may not Realize that “What happens when we can’t afford to live…like anywhere?” is an Invitation to Explore exactly Who is Asking?  Who is the “we” in that Inquiry?  Is it the Infinite Soul?  Is it the Body, maybe the left arm?  Is it our Thoughts about what might happen?  It’s a Big Job, Monitoring our Identity, but for anyone interested in Growing their Consciousness, it’s the Only Job there is.

Of course, All There Is Is Now, so if those Hungry Lifetimes are all going on now, it’s not about Starved to Death, it’s about Starving to Death.  Maybe “we” are just Channeling that Bleedthrough.  Or, Lord knows there are plenty of Entities enduring Starvation Right Now on our Fair Planet, we could “just” be Unconsciously Empathizing with them.  There’s that word again, Unconscious – another Invitation to Grow our Consciousness!

When we’re also not monitoring our Thoughts, they’re a Perfect Mirror for the state of the Unconscious that we’re Channeling.  If we don’t Challenge our Negative Thoughts, and we review them frequently, they’ll be Absorbed into our Karma.  The alternative to Karma is Choice.  When we Choose to Channel or Empathize with Dramas we don’t particularly want to Relive, wouldn’t we also want to Choose to Heal them?  Tapping them Out would be an excellent approach…

If they aren’t by Choice, then it’s all the more important to Notice what we’re Thinking and Tap it Out.  If we Sleepwalk through our Thoughts without Choosing them, there’s an excellent Chance we’re just Deepening our Karma.  A friend is making Wake Up! Flower Essences – let me know if you want to order a bottle.

Today the asteroid that symbolizes Truth is Strong, and it’s very much Deepening (asteroid Veritas entering Scorpio).  So this is a fabulous Opportunity to Intend to start Monitoring your Thoughts, and when they’re Thoughts you don’t want to Manifest into Hardcopy, then get to work Changing them to What You Do Want to Happen.  Time is actually Critical – the longer you dwell on What You Don’t Want, the more you Deepen your Karma.

In today’s chart, Truth Challenges our Vitality (Veritas Square Venus-Sun-Varuna) and our Bad Habits Challenge not just our own Survival, but the Survival of the Planet (asteroid Karma and Chiron Square three dwarf planets – Quaoar, Pholus, and Ixion).  Their Message is essentially Get to work Creatively Responding to your Survival Instincts (Quaoar-Pholus-and Ixion) instead of Pretending that we don’t Live in a Free Will Universe (Karma-Chiron).  The third Challenge in the chart is whether we’re going to Sustain Fear, or Convert it to Power (dwarf planet Ceres Opposite dwarf planet Sedna).

It might be Opportune to Remember that Kegels help to deal with Fear, and that Poor-Sweethearting ourself helps to deal with Despair.

Natalie Glasson’s Channels the rest of Lord Melchizedek’s comments on 1D to 9D, this time 6D to 9D…

https://www.omna.org/exploration-of-dimensions-6-9-by-lord-melchizedek/

“6^th Dimension …

“The 6^th dimension reinforces your connection and communication with your soul, allowing powerful soul discovery journeys and deepening expressions of your soul through all levels of your being.  If you are finding it challenging to connect with your soul, wish to enhance your communication with your soul or receive guidance from your soul, it is ideal to request the 6^th dimension to download into your being at the appropriate vibrations to support you.

“If you wish to connect on a deeper or soul level with other people in your reality you can request this from the 6^th dimension.  There are many other requests which can be made, such as the balancing of your spiritual body, clarity in order to remember divine information, wisdom and knowledge to support your ascension or synthesising with your Ascended Master self in order to discover your ascension pathway to completion of your ascension mastery upon the Earth.

“If you find your intuition is blocked or you are unable to gain inner guidance the 6^th dimension can support you by aligning you with your soul…  It is so filled with inspiration and tremendous support, it is worthwhile downloading and anchoring into your being and reality, even if you are uncertain of the purpose of your anchoring.”

Handy as we’re Anchoring Soul into Matter with Uranus in Taurus.  (For 1D-5D see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2019/07/13/leo/.)

“7^th Dimension …

“The process of detachment is the key focus of the 7^th dimension, much emphasis is placed upon understanding the method and benefits of detachment, which can be applied to all levels of your being.  Detachment isn’t to disconnect or disregard, it is to let go of bonds that cause you separation with the Creator and recreate bonds of love, trust, and truth.  It is this process which instigates new learning and even a reassessment of your spiritual pathway, to accept a pathway which is meaningful for your current transitions of ascension…”

“The 9^th dimension truly fuels your spiritual evolution by supporting you in accessing an abundance of inspiration, enlightenment, and divine truth, while enhancing your ability to surrender and connect with the Creator…  The 9^th dimension also aids your conscious awareness of your Soul Group and your Soul Groups spiritual evolution of working with and integrating with other Soul Groups in order to aid the divine will of the Creator.”

Such as our Arcturian friends.

A reader and friend – in fact, the friend who introduced me to the Arcturians a couple of decades ago – writes…

“Information is content, or a product.  However, why wouldn’t we need to question whether the information or data is useful or inaccurate?  The problem within the digital information age is that is too easily manipulated (see deep fakes on YouTube and altered news and images that Reuters and other news outlets have been caught out pushing on an unsuspecting populace).

“My concern is that spiritual insight and wisdom, organic connection and collective community, may be shown the back seat in a robotically controlled economy and society.  Unless human beings change drastically (i.e., evolve exponentially and quickly at that) the premise and promise inferred in Mason’s vision (or Karl Marx’s) becomes as 2D as the 1’s and 0’s in the source code of the Digital Age.  Pristine and lifeless, anesthetized and sterile.

“One of tenets of non-Dualist perspectives that Eckert Tolle and others offer is that content alone will not provide liberation from suffering or our current global challenges.  Emphasis on content and information may be the last illusion that needs to be shattered.”

Yes, one of many Last Illusions, I’m sure.  It’s very tempting to Extrapolate current trends into their worst Science Fiction nightmares, whether we’re playing with our Digits, or drowning in sweat or flood from this week’s Faux News about Global Warming.  But Seth made it clear a long time ago, in The Nature of Personal Reality, that our Personal History is an excellent Mirror of our Karma, aka our Habitual Patterns of Belief.

And likewise, the content of our Intellectual and Emotional Imaginings about the Future are a perfect Mirror for the detritus that gums up our Personal Relationship to the Unconscious.  The Unconscious is anything and everything that isn’t encompassed by our Ego at the Moment.  Energy is our True Nature, till we fall through one of the slits and become Particular, which is fine as a Snapshot, but this isn’t even a Moving Picture, because those are only 2D.  What happen to the Waves and Bits after they’re photographed?  They don’t just End there.

As Energy we are all Holographic Fragments of Source.  We only Choose to Separate ourself from the Whole for Fun or Profit.  When we Meditate on Being the Whole, what else is left to Interact with?  (The State of Wholeness is an excellent place to Manifest from, BTW, if we’re into Manifesting Partness, which of course we all are.)  Imagination is our Projection of Energy into the Future, where it will Manifest as Form.  So why would we Project something we don’t Want, except for Fun or Profit?  Why don’t we Project What We Want instead?

Well, the answer is because this is a Mirror for our Relationship with the Unconscious, with everything that isn’t Embraced by our Ego at the Moment.  This is why people talk about their “Shadow” – their Belief that Darkness is a Thing rather than a 2D Projection on the wall of the cave.

2020 Part 4 and Revelation Full Moon II

I don’t remember where I read it, but in the last week or so someone was writing that the Creed of Greed in the “Developed” World was depressing the Living standards of the 99% so quickly that, on their way down, they’d be meeting the folks from the “Developing” World on their way up.

That conclusion seemed obvious as soon as Lester Brown pointed out that the “Developed” World was using 22 times as many Finite Resources per capita as the rest of the World, and that the Planet did not hold nearly enough Resources to bring the others up to the “Developed” standard, even if Huper population wasn’t mushrooming.  When was that – the 1990s?

Here are a few Perspectives…

♥ Meanwhile, we’re in the Grip of the 16 July Revelation Full Moon.  As we mentioned, the Full Moon, which is a Partial Lunar Eclipse that’s visible from Rio to Helsinki to Perth and points between, signifies Illumination, though the Grace may be ambiguous because what becomes Visible is what we’ve been Denying (Full Moon Square dwarf planet Eris) for a long time and may prefer to continue to Deny.  If we Open to it, though, it will Change our Life for the better (Eris in Aries Opposite dwarf planet Haumea).  The Bottom Line will be more Self-Sovereignty (Mjōlnir to Lilith from Sun Square Haumea).  The chart…

Notice how Transcendence (asteroid Bee-Zed) of Resistance to our Unlimited Potential (dwarf planet Chaos) is so Gracefully (making a blue Golden Rectangle with Haumea-Eris) woven into the mix.

Here’s a cute simulation of the 25 Capricorn Partial Lunar Eclipse…

In my Experience though, the shaded part of the Moon doesn’t get nearly as dark.

Normally the impact of a Full Moon is Strongest for the following two weeks.  This one’s a bit different because one of its most Prominent planets, the one about Opening to Denial (Eris), is at it’s Strongest (Stationary) a few days later, on 20 July (7pm PDT).  The chart of this astroevent is basically similar to the Eclipse chart above.

Just to make sure we’re Paying Attention here, the symbol for Sustainability and Sustenance (dwarf planet Ceres) is at it’s Strongest (Stationary) on the Cusp of Sagittarius on 17 July (noon PDT)…

The Primary Focus (top of a Kite) of this chart is the symbol for Converting Fear to Power (dwarf planet Sedna).  If you Notice yourself touching the Essence of what’s Holding you Back from Living Your Dreams this week, and Notice yourself backing off from it so you can stay in Denial, meet that Challenge with a couple of Kegels.

The Edges of Consciousness are always very Subtle, like an Intuition, and just as Easy to ignore.  Dive into it instead.  Surrender yourself into your Hesitation to leap forward and upward.  You know that your Old Patterns are Comfortable, but you also know that they don’t take you where you Want to Go.  Step into a New Pattern while the Opportunity is ripe.

2020 Part 3

Bob in Australia writes…

“Preparedness it would seem is the key to cope with the impending and already occurring upheaval caused by the inevitable collapse and/or major re-adjustment of our global economic system as already foreseen by current and future Astrological energies and which is now being confirmed by mainstream 3D opinion.  Glimpses are appearing as evidenced by this blog of alternative path(s) to this disaster and on a collective level awareness of how to take advantage of this new paradigm will occur en-masse as individuals.

“We simply do not know how many individuals globally have this same belief and to what effect and to paraphrase this blog ‘this hidden genius and unlimited potential’ will have in a collective 5D fashion.  For mine I am also extremely curious about how it will also effect the other impending crisis, global warming!  Perhaps some interpretation of the most salient Sabian symbols of this upcoming Astrological energy might give us a clue?”

The upcoming Full Moon (which I’ll write about in more detail soon) features an Epiphany Configuration (Mjölnir) to the symbol for Self-Sovereignty (Lilith) that implies a Rebirth of our Essence (from Haumea Square Sun).  To imagine that World Population, or even Aunt Sally, needs to Shift before we can (or Want to) Shift is not a Self-Sovereign posture.  Yes, We Are All One, but that can also be read as We Are Alone, and it’s Both/And.  One way, perhaps the only way, to get beyond the Control Issues that any and all Egos have, and to also Respect Free Will, is to Lead by Example.  

Yes, I think we need to see both Climate Change and the presumed pending Collapse of the still-Colonial Economic and Financial and Political “Order” (which is very much a Reflection of the state of 3D Huperity), as symptoms of the same Underlying Energy.  The End of the Patriarchy is another symptom.  Mother Earth Claiming Her Own Sovereignty is one name that is often used for the Underlying Energy, but even that may be “just” a Projection of our Frustration over the growing chasm between what our Hearts know to be Possible and what our Senses see happening.  Maybe that is the Underlying Energy Shift.  Or the budding Age of Aquarius, with it’s Sympathy and Understanding, Harmony and Trust Abounding.

We can have Images of what the Earth “splitting in two” (or more) may look like, but we have no way of knowing what’s Metaphor and what’s not.  In fact, to assume It’s All Metaphor is probably the best course, even if that may Terrify parts of our Ego.  Or maybe because that may Terra-fy parts of our Ego – help Ego Recognize that the Ground of Life-the-Universe-and-Everything is Energy and Consciousness.  Matter may not be Illusion in all senses of the word, but it can certainly Transform in the blink of an eye – all we have to do is Change our Perspective.  And that’s true without even leaving Isaac Newton’s World.

We’re still looking at the Unfolding of 2012’s Uranus Square Pluto – being Challenged by the Compulsion to Embrace our Soul as Self.  Uranus is now Waxing Biseptile to Pluto.  The “Bi” part is the Second Harmonic, the Priestess, Guardian of the Rules.  The Septile part is about Timing.  So yes, it’s Time for the Rules to Change, and with Uranus in Taurus it’s how the Rules interact with Hardcopy Reality that are up for Revision.  The Sabian Symbol for this Uranus-Pluto Cycle is “A Ouija Board.”  It wouldn’t hurt to review the Initiation chart, which I’ll do when I get time.  The 1965 Initiation Opposed Chiron, Master of Perspective Changes.  On Roke that would be the Master Patterner.

But by far the Most Important Thing is that we, as much as we can, Let Go of Mechanisms and Focus our Attention on Outcomes. 

Unless we’re Rube Goldberg hisself, it’s a lot easier to be Serious about Imagining Outcomes we’ve yet to Experience in our Current Lifetime, than it is to Seriously Imagine Mechanisms that we haven’t Encountered.  To Imagine that we, with such Finite Senses, Understand how Infinite “Reality” works is pure Hubris, even if we include our Limitless Intuition.  Yet we were – are – so thoroughly Programmed to Believe that it works through Cause and Effect, that thinking a sentence that doesn’t involve Cause and Effect is very difficult.  Small Wonder that we disavow Miracles so thoroughly that we often don’t even Believe our Ouija Boards.

2020 Part 2

“2020 Part 1” is called Revelation Full Moon, ie, the previous post.

BTW, we’ve made corrections & additions to the post 2019 Q3 I (https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2019/06/30/2019-q3/). 

The Guardian today has taken a step beyond our discussion of the third Decades-Scale shift taking place in 2020, in an article by Paul Mason…

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jul/17/postcapitalism-end-of-capitalism-begun

“…Almost unnoticed, in the niches and hollows of the market system, whole swaths of economic life are beginning to move to a different rhythm.  Parallel currencies, time banks, cooperatives and self-managed spaces have proliferated, barely noticed by the economics profession, and often as a direct result of the shattering of the old structures in the post-2008 crisis.

“You only find this new economy if you look hard for it.  In Greece, when a grassroots NGO mapped the country’s food co-ops, alternative producers, parallel currencies and local exchange systems they found more than 70 substantive projects and hundreds of smaller initiatives ranging from squats to carpools to free kindergartens.  To mainstream economics such things seem barely to qualify as economic activity – but that’s the point.

“They exist because they trade, however haltingly and inefficiently, in the currency of postcapitalism: free time, networked activity and free stuff.  It seems a meagre and unofficial and even dangerous thing from which to craft an entire alternative to a global system, but so did money and credit in the age of Edward III…”

I’m not sure he’s got it all figured out –

“In the meantime, for every robot that comes online, that’s several humans who lose their wages, unable to buy what the robot is making or vending.  It doesn’t add up, does it?  Please come out of your peer-to-peer data cloud and tell us the answer, Paul Mason.”

says Nigel Pollitt in https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/21/non-virtual-elephant-in-paul-mason-postcapitalist-sharing-economy-room.  But it’s also not clear that Nigel groks all of what Paul is saying, and Paul has taken us a long way toward realigning our thinking toward 5D.  David and Christina Romer at Berkeley have done a lot of work on the Economics of Abundance.  Obama lured them both to Washington for a while, but they tired of being outshouted by the Harvard Old Boys and went back to Berkeley.

To review, this third 2020 Decades-Scale event is “In December the symbol for Contraction (Saturn) Merges with the symbol for Expansion (Jupiter; Saturn Initiates Jupiter 1 Aquarius 21 December 2020, Unx to the Capricorn Solstice).  This happens every 20 years and coincides with major Turning Points in the Political Economy, in this case the beginning of the Digital Age in earnest” (previous post).

The 20-year Jupiter-Saturn Cycles Initiated in Earth Signs for almost two Centuries, giving us the Industrial Era, where the Making of Stuff (Earth, Matter) was the prime driver of “Progress.”  In 2020 we start almost two Centuries of Saturn-Jupiter Initiations in Air Signs – the Digital Age.  The New Age was introduced gradually – the 1980 Initiation was in Air, giving us a preview of the Digital Age.  This was the Cycle that began with the introduction of the IBM PC.

The 2000 Initiation was one last smaller Cycle in Earth.  It began with the Dot-Com Crash, as the punchbowl was taken away in order for Society to decide what to keep from the Industrial Era, and what to discard.  That’s now finished, and we’re winding up to the Real Digital Age.  If the same Pattern repeats, expect a big technological or commercial breakthrough to be announced in December 2020, that will be germinal for the primary economic thrust of 2020-2040.

Once Ronald Reagan moved into the White House in 1980, Paul Volcker succeeded in squashing runaway Inflation by raising interest rates, creating a Recession in the process.  Obama also hired Volcker, who moved on quickly for the same reason as the Romers.  The Dot-Com Crash initiated the 2000 Cycle.  Add Jack Kennedy’s 1960 Recession, and we have three Jupiter-Saturn Cycles in a row beginning with Recessions.  It will be a surprise if the 2020 Cycle doesn’t begin with an economic Crash as well, and considering the staggering levels of Debt in the US and the World, many people are predicting a very long and very deep economic downturn once the current Boom ends.

But that’s measuring by Industrial Economics.  As Mason points out, those metrics may be totally Obsolete by then.  This gives us about a year to establish 5D Communities to Live in during the Digital Age as Industrial-Era economic structures and strategies and rules become irrelevant.  Maybe a year and a half; I’m planning for the Crash to happen prior to the December Saturn-Jupiter Initiation, so we have time and motivation to elect someone who can steer the larger Culture away from the Obsolete Worship of Avarice.

Of course, War can change the equation for those who “Choose” to stay in 3D.  The rest of us can Clarify the Intentions and the Enhanced Emotions that we want to dominate our Experience in our new 5D Community, and Create from there (see pp.76-80 in Joe Dispenza’s Becoming Supernatural).

Revelation Full Moon and 2020 Part 1

Not all those four Horsedudes and all, but Revelation as in Being Revealed, ie, Insight, particularly Revelation of What’s Been Denied (Station of Eris in 25 Eris, 7pm PDT 20 July).  The 25 Capricorn 16 July Full Moon is in the same Degree as the 20 July Max Impact of the astrological symbol for the Denied becoming Visible (Eris), so this week is all about Tattling.

If you Encounter someone who’s obviously in Denial this week, don’t hesitate to speak up – just be sure to be diplomatic about it; Questions always work better than Statements, and Innuendo better than Accusation.  And don’t be Smug or Retaliatory or Passive-Aggressive about it either; there’s an 80% chance they’ll hit you back with one that’s even more shattering to your own Ego.  What’s good for the Gander and all that.

Which causes us to Wonder, where is our trusty symbol for Ego Death (asteroid Nemesis) in all this?  Well what do you know, it’s Merged with the symbol for Awareness (Mercury).  Nice.  Maybe our marks will slap their forehead and say “OMG Why didn’t I think of that?  Thanks a million!” instead of breaking our nose.

We’ll get to all this in the next post.  For now, I want to start some Revealing about 2020.  I haven’t disassembled the whole year yet, but there are at least three Big Decade-Scale Events coming up next year.  Not to mention an election, if it’s held, that will compare in scope to the developments in the country you’d probably cross to get from Poland to France, in the year Anton Cermak was killed in Chicago.

• In January the symbol for Compulsion (Pluto) and the symbol for Concentration (Saturn) Merge (Pluto Initiates Saturn 9a PST 12 January 2020 in 23 Capricorn), very near to this week’s Full Moon.  This Merger has historically occurred around Wars and the like.  Remember this all-too-believable Faux News…?

• In March we begin a Decade where folks are likely to be more Emotional and Reactive than usual (on 17 March 2020 the Moon begins an 11-year Cycle wherein it travels Out Of Bounds twice a month).  The last time this happened, well – remember this…?

• In December the symbol for Contraction (Saturn) Merges with the symbol for Expansion (Jupiter; Saturn Initiates Jupiter 1 Aquarius 21 December 2020, Unx to the Capricorn Solstice).  This happens every 20 years and coincides with major Turning Points in the Political Economy, in this case the beginning of the Digital Age in earnest.  The previous occurrence saw the Dot-Com Crash, but the time before that, the introduction of the original IBM PC (sans graphic interface or internal storage).

We’ll talk in more detail about these three events soon as well.

Since people in 3D get all foamy at the mouth when a good Enemy comes into focus, Wars have proven to be reliable campaign strategies for Hoovering Up second terms.  Gosh, what if that was Revealed, and belligerents had to pay for Wars with campaign funds instead of tax money!  I know, unlikely.  We can PIAVA it though.  No need to Limit ourselves just because of poor odds – the symbol for Unlimited Potential (dwarf planet Chaos) is Lit Up by the Full Moon too, teaming with Intuition and buffered by Transcendence (Conjunct dwarf planet Asbolus and Opposite asteroid Bee-Zed).

We’re obviously way overdue for a shift in the 3D Political Economy, as the degeneration evident all over the “Developed” World reminds us.  As Automation replaces Huper Labor, the People who aren’t making or owning the Automatons are likely to be shut out of the Political Economy and forced to depend on the Kindness of Strangers for Survival.  Those who Survive the Climate Apocalypse and its Political ramifications, that is.  And who Survive 5G.  The whole business of 5G is likely to be a huge Cosmic Hint that the time to move to 5D is now, since the more Sensitive we are, the more 5G is likely to Destroy us.

So, we need to Tap Out these “the Way It’s Been” Projections, because Change Is Happening, even if still Underground.  With enough Poor Sweethearts we have plenty of 2019 left to Manifest Miracles for ourself and the Planet, and maybe even some for 3D Cultures.  No need to let a gloomy His-Story paint a bright Her-Story dull grey.  As we enter the Age of Aquarius we’re also leaving the Patriarchy.  Aquarius is “ruled” by the symbol for Soul (Uranus) after all.

Marilyn Raffaele’s Channeling for today gives us some orientation…

“Know that the strife and conflicts taking place at this time on earth indicate the shifts of consciousness that are happening.  The status quo is being questioned and no longer blindly accepted by an ever increasing number of people.  The innate self serving goals of many three dimensional standards are beginning to be recognized for what they are and as more and more awaken, will be eliminated or transmuted to higher forms.  Know that all is proceeding according to plan.

“Some refuse to let go of three dimensional concepts now being recognized by many others as false.  They continue to identify with what is familiar in the belief that their belief system is their identity, showing others who they are.  These dear ones believe that they would no longer be the person they believe themselves to be if they were to change.

“This type of thinking represents separation and demonstrates the common human need to create an ideal persona based in the individual’s concepts of what constitutes a good, bad, perfect, ideal human–illusion at its finest.

“Many continue to believe and promote that change and new ways of thinking will never be as wonderful as in the past.  These dear ones live in the past, nostalgic for what they falsely believe were ‘the good old days’ not realizing that the past only seemed better because the same issues being exposed today were very much alive at that time as well, but were hidden.

“Never forget that those who remain fully three dimensional are also Divine Beings.  Your job is to live from your highest enlightened realizations in the ordinary moments of each day.  Many of those choosing to remain rigidly attached to illusion will at some point leave the planet as they will not be able to align with the higher dimensional frequencies.

“Do not overly concern yourselves with those choosing not to awaken at this time even if the person is a loved family member or friend.  Remember, every person has a Higher Self, Guides, and a spiritual contract and this lifetime may not be their chosen time to awaken.  After enough lifetimes lived in the illusions of duality and separation every soul grows tired of the nonsense and begins to seek for more.

“Evolution can be postponed, but not avoided forever because the reality of every soul is Oneness with Source.”

Leo

Ever attend a Concert or Speech and leave Enlivened or Inspired?  That’s the Up Side of Leo, Alive people Sharing a Contact High.  And ever attend a Speech or Concert and leave Drained or Angry?  That’s the Down Side of Leo, Performers Sucking your Energy.  On 13 July (6am PDT) the astrological symbol for Ego Death (asteroid Nemesis) begins an eleven-week sojourn in Leo.

We think of a Nemesis as an Enemy or a Punishment or a Downfall.  But those are Victim Postures, which we Revert as much as we can.  If an Enemy or a Punishment or a Downfall was a Mirror for some Internal State of ours, what might it be?  Would Guilt be a candidate?  Being mired in Guilt might be the Energy-Sucking Down Side of Nemesis in Leo.  Maybe we can use Guilt as a Flag that reminds us to Reframe.

We Feel Guilt when we Fear that we have done something “Wrong.”  Religions milk that Feeling to Suck our Energy, by equating the Moral with the Spiritual.  Wrong is an Either/Or, so we know it’s Political.  Politics – and Yangtegrity – are important Socially, but Spirituality is a different Animal.  When we actually have done something Socially or Politically Wrong, gotten out of Integrity, then we need to Make Amends, if the Relationships involved are important to us or to our Goals.

But because of our Religious Programming we often Feel something akin to Guilt when we aren’t Manifesting What We Want.  “What am I doing Wrong?”  In this situation it’s not about Making Amends, it’s about Locating our own Resistance and Negotiating with it.  Leo and Ego are very Close – that scenario where Alive People are Sharing a Contact High is the Plus side of Ego, the grease in Community.  Since Ego is just about the most Addictive substance around, it’s a knife edge.  It’s so Easy to shift from Sharing to Sucking.

So Nemesis in Leo may Ask us for a pretty big Ego Death.  It may Ask us to Go Deeper than we’ve been Going, to make Bigger Changes in the way we Live or Give or Take or Think or Feel or Act.  On September 27, Nemesis will move into Virgo.  Virgo’s job is to Manage the Transition from Leo/Ego to Libra/Other.  There’s a big Loss of Control involved in that Transition.  It’s so Easy to do Libra Codependently rather than Collaboratively.  If we dodge and weave our way through Nemesis in Leo, Nemesis in Virgo is likely to Stop us Cold.  It’s probably a good idea to Befriend our Ego while Nemesis is still in Leo.

Natalie Glasson’s Channeling for this Transition reminds us why we Want to do this work, as Lord Melchizedek helps us understand 1D to 5D…

“I, Lord Melchizedek, come forth to share some information with you regarding the dimensions of the Creator’s Universe.  My purpose in doing so is to support your further integration and experience of the Creator’s qualities, vibrations, and frequencies that are available to you.  Each dimension of the Creator’s Universe is akin to an insight into an aspect and an expression of the Creator.

“Each dimension is a source of support and guidance for your own spiritual evolution while instigating initiations and learning to further your relationship with the Creator.  You can call upon a certain dimension to ground into your being and reality to support an activation, action or the creation of an experience within your reality.  We can recognise the dimensions as a source of healing and self-awakening as well as a source of inspiration and enlightenment.

“1st Dimension…”

Most folks that I encounter, with the possible exception of Joe Dispenza, speak of 3D and 5D without bothering to explain what they’re referring to.  Many folks who describe 3D and 5D at length, like Michael Roads, never use the terms.  That contrast makes Lord Melchizedek’s descriptions a very useful contribution.
