Guilt that Ain’t

Our next Portal is about Guilt and Confusion. Neptune is Stationary till 3 December 2022 at 4:14 pm PST,* and Neptune represents Material Confusion and Spiritual Clarity. Confusion is the first Sign of Growth in Consciousness, because our Unconscious Limitations are Encoded into our Mental Concept Set, the one that Keeps us Safe by Defining the Boundaries of our Reality. When out Rigid Concepts Conflict with one another, or with Possibly Valid Information from Outside of our Rigid Universe, of course we Get Confused. Our normal Reaction is to Run back to the Perceived Safety of our Rigid Concepts. In so doing, we can Deny Outside Information that Conflicts, we can Ignore Contradictions in our Concept Set, or we can Make Up Stories to Mitigate the Contradictions.

* GMT 12:14 am 4th December, IST 5:44 am 4th, AEDT Qld 10:14 am 4th, AEDT NSW 11:14 am 4th.

Better yet, we can Borrow such Stories from the Vast Store of them on the Internet. This is how we get to Rhetoric, or Unexamined Rote Concepts about the World which become Memes for these Stories. This process is so Clearly illustrated for us by Faux News and the Rabid Republicans that Inhabit and Inhale it. If we slip on a Virtual Reality Headset from Meta Inc. and tune it to Believe that the T.rumpian or Pootinian or the DiCostellian or Abbotic Realities are the Real ones, we can see the same process working in the Minds of the “Woke” Liberals as they Groom our Children into every Vile Reality Forbidden by the Old Testament or Sharia Law.

The Spiritual Function of the Prominence on the World Stage of these Parodies of Leadership has been to Demonstrate for us the Limitations of Creating Your Own Reality when it has no solid Connection to the Physical World and no Authentic Connection to the Spiritual World. Next time you see one of these Buffoons on TV or the Internet, Go Meta Ask yourself In the Present Moment, What’s Really Happening Here? How many times have Propaganda artists snagged Civilization on the end of their Hooks and Reeled them In? Is that Karma we wish to Continue? If not, can we No Longer Lend Our Strength to That Which We Wish to Be Free From?

Guilt Arises here because the Neptune Station Conjoins asteroid Nemesis, our astromeme for Guilt. Both sit in 23 Pisces, The Profoundly Impossible Search for Missing Soul Fragments When There Are No Clues, and the Miracle that Occurs When We Persevere with Our Intention to Embrace Them. Can these Unfunny Comedians really be Clues to Our Missing Soul Fragments? If not, why do we even Give them the Time of Day?

But before we move into Discussion of our Guilt about Having Lost Track of Our Soul Fragments…

We didn’t have time to write about the Emphasis on Boundaries over that last several days, but then, our primary goal is to Teach youalls to Monitor your own astrology, since your Experience with yourself is a jillion times every one else’s, and Self-Knowledge is a big prerequisite for Ascension, so no worries. I can just fill you in on what the last couple days have been about astrologically, and you can see how it compares to your Experience.

It hasn’t been Complicated, but it has been a shift. Asteroid Pallas, which is all about Boundaries, Stood Still till 12:36 am PST,* early this morning, 30 November 2022, in 27 Cancer. Any planet’s Impact on Earth is highest when it Stands Still, so you may have found yourself struggling with your Boundaries, or Setting Stronger Boundaries, or Loosening up some, or All of the Above! People may have Angered you, and you Felt Bad about Telling them Off, or Felt Bad about Not Telling them Off. You may have Felt Guilt about one or some of your Relationships, and maybe Let them Into your Private Life a bit more than you usually would have. You may even have Closed a Relationship or two, with or without Talking to them about it. You may just have found yourself really Confused about some of your Relationships.

* GMT 8:36 am, IST 2:06 pm, AEDT Qld 6:36 pm. Sorry about the Red. WordPress in its wisdom, except for Black and Red, offers only Light Colors for text, and every time you use one of them it warns you that it’ll be difficult to read, so you should oughta use a darker color. Brilliant. You probably have to pay extra to get access to darker colors.

We’ll get to the Guilt and Confusion shortly, as they’re about to get Louder, but they’re likely to have been Lit Up already. 27 Cancer is about being Obsessed with the Unmarked Path to Giving Birth to Our Cosmic Twin Soul. Wow, what an Intense and Exciting Degree Reading! Regular readers know that we always recommend looking up these full-page Degree Symbols in Lonsdale’s book (pp.152-3). We only squeeze what we can into a single sentence, and it’s never enough.

The single Challenge/Potential SuperPower in the Pallas Station chart is a Pattern-Breaker! Almost all of the Challenges for months now have been Self-Resolving, but this one isn’t, so we have to do the Work ourself. It’s about Denying our Compulsive Attachment to Expired Karma and Codependent Boundaries.*

* Eris (Revelation of What’s Been Denied ) T-Squared (Challenged ) by the Opposition (Debate) between Pluto-Atropos (Addiction to Expired Karma) and Pallas-Black Moon Lilith (Codependent Boundaries). Of course Black Moon Lilith mostly stands for Self-Sovereignty, so the Dynamic here could well be about Seeking Excessive Privacy to Hide the Symptoms of our Addiction. It may be useful to Think about whether we’re Hiding anything from our Closests.

Hmmm, that sounds suspiciously like Shame. Maybe we should check to see where Phaedra (Shame) is in this chart. Yup, very Meaningful! Phaedra makes a Biquintile to Stationary Pallas – a Teaching about Duality and Separation from Self. It also makes an Angle that’s 7/18th of the Zodiac (a Septununoctile?), Combining the Seventh (Timing) and 18th (Authenticity) Harmonics, so totally fitting for a chart about Denial and Boundaries and Compulsions.

In the Pallas Stationary chart Phaedra is Merged with the Moon (Authenticity, Instinct), Gonggong (Intrusive Memories), and Vesta (Unconscious Limitations), in the Aries Duad of Pisces (Beginning a New Life Cycle with Less Karmic Emotional Baggage). Intense! We can’t make this stuff up, can we?

The Phaedra portion of the Pallas Stationary chart includes two Fully Self-Resolving (Diamond Star plus Grand Trine) Challenges. In one, Phaedra-Moon-Gonggong-Vesta Opposing Samadhi-Sappho (Enlightenment Merged with Self-Love) is T-Squared by Moira (Fate or Choice). Wow. We can Choose between our Karmic Fate of Continuing to Hide our Shame that we’ve Adopted from our Ancestors, or moving into Self-Love and Ascension! What a Choice! But we have to Make it. Moira is in 6 Gemini, Single-Minded Obsession to Making It to the Bright Light that Must Be at the End of the Tunnel.

I don’t interpret that as shouting our Shame from the Rooftops. But I do interpret it as Stopping our Thoughts about it and Asking ourself, What am I Feeling? Where Is It in my Body? What does it Feel Like there? Softening it there, Warming it, Poor-Sweethearting Ourself. Would you have interpreted those Sensations as Shame? Shame is very Adept at Hiding. We need to be Loving and Gentle with those places in our Body. Just Opening this door and looking in is a Huge Ego Death. We wouldn’t have Felt Compelled to Hide it otherwise.

The other Fully Self-Resolving Challenge in the Phaedra portion of the Pallas Station chart Focuses on Narcissus – Big Surprise, and Eurydike (Trusting our Self-Image). Narcissus is in 2 Scorpio, Hard Battles to Overcome Ego. The base of the T-Square is Chariklo (Self-Confidence or Self-Doubt) Opposite Cyllarus-Varuna (Ego Death Merged with the Life Force). We’ve had to Hide this Shame in order to Manifest any sort of Self-Confidence, and the result has been having a Murderous impact on our Health. On the other hand, a Solid Ego Death or several should Restore our Health! While the Pallas Challenge itself is Not Self-Resolving, the Phaedra Challenges are Self-Resolving, and Fully so. That’s a Monster Gift!

So, Shame so well Hidden sounds like a Held Emotion, doesn’t it. We’d rather Die than Share this Secret with anyone. So we Ask, What’s going on with the South Node in the Pallas Station chart? The Mean South Node is in 12 Scorpio, Two Souls in One Body, the Inner Soul on an Essential Crusade in another Galaxy, while the Outer Body-Soul barely Hangs on to Ground the Pair into the Earth. The South Node Merges with Zhulong (Enlightenment ), Ka’epaoka’awela (Transmutation), and Requiem (Respect for Death). The North Node Merges with Uranus (Soul), and Lachesis makes a Diamond Star across the Nodal Axis. Lachesis sits in 14 Aquarius, Testing the Depths of Darkness in order to Let Go of the Shadows of Grandiosity.

A second Diamond Star is T-Squared by the Sun (Essence) in 9 Sagittarius, on the Opposition between Nessus-Juno (Growth in Consciousness around Abuse and Privilege) and Orcus-Thereus (Relentlessness about Breaking Difficult Patterns or Taming Bears). 9 Sagittarius is The Green Man, Serving Mystery and Forever Forbidden from Identifying with Anything on the Surface.

Lachesis symbolizes Unexpired Karma, but All Karma can be Let Go by Choice. While these Challenges are Self-Resolving but not Enhanced by Grand Trines, one side of the base of each T-Square is also one side of the base of the Finger of the Goddess of the other, so they do Complement one another. The second side of the base of each Finger is Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles). So is there Hope that these Two Souls in One Body can ever Integrate with one another? Are we talking about Fragmentation of our own Soul?

The answer to the second question is No. This is a Transit chart, not our Natal chart. We have Empathy because there are parts of our own Souls that are Split Off and waging some Crusade in another Galaxy. An excellent example is the original Shame Tracked out of its Hideout in the Pallas Station chart. So on these circuitous journeys through the distant parts of the Pallas chart, we’ve gained some Appreciation for the travails that this Lost Soul Fragment has been through – and that the Ancestors who passed this Trauma down to us have been through, and are still, in the Etheric Realms.

We Liberate their Soul Fragments as we Liberate Ours, by Stopping our Thoughts about our Shame and Lovingly, Gently Embracing the Sensations in our Body that we’ve been Denying all our Lives, the Sensations that threaten to make our own Body so fragile that it barely Hangs on to Ground our Multifarious and Unitary Lives into the Earth.

T-Squares and Grand Crosses

Margery asks what it might feel like when a Natal T-Square is “Completed” by a Transiting planet to make the T-Square into a Grand Cross. The answer is really the same when a Transiting T-Square is Completed by a Natal planet.*

* Astrologuese to English: “Natal” means at Birth. “Transiting” or “Transit” means in the Sky now, or if you’re looking at a different time, in the Sky at that time. A “T-Square” is two planets on Opposite sides of the Zodiac, with a third at a Midpoint between them. A “Grand Cross” is four planets more or less equally spaced around the Zodiac. “Completed” means that, when added to a chart, a planet from another chart converts an Unstable Configuration like a T-Square into a Stable Configuration like a Grand Cross. The additional planet can be from any other chart, including another person’s chart, a chart for the current moment, or any other moment. The Completed Configuration applies to the “Group Soul,” ie, the Entity Created by the Combination, in psychic time or space, of the Entities represented by the two charts.

The “Native” is the Entity represented by a Natal astrological chart. Note that for a Transit, the Native is the Moment for which the chart is drawn. The “Missing” planet, or the place where the Completing planet would be, is called the “Vacancy” of the Unstable Configuration. The “Sabian or Chandra Symbol” is a reading for an individual Degree; see for instance Dane Rudhyar’s An Astrological Mandala, or Ellias Lonsdale’s 360 Degrees of Your Star Destiny.

A Self-Resolving T-Square, aka a Diamond Star, consists of a T-Square and a Finger of the Goddess both having their Focus at the same place in a chart. It looks a little like an Angel, minus the Halo. The Focus of a T-Square is the planet that’s halfway between the other two, the one that’s at the 90° Degree Angle. Both the T-Square and the Finger are triangles with a third planet at the Midpoint between the other two.

In a T-Square, usually drawn in red, the “other two” are 180° apart. In a Finger, the “other two” are only 60° apart (a Sextile) and the Midpoint used is the Far Midpoint, the one that’s five Signs from each end of the Sextile. We usually refer to a Finger as a “Wedge” because it’s a very Acute Triangle. We usually draw them in green. The Focus of a Finger of the Goddess is the Far Midpoint. The picture illustrates a Diamond Star.

The T-Square has two fundamental Challenges. First, it’s Unstable or Unbalanced.

A Stable Configuration is one that “Fills” the Zodiac. If you “flip” a T-Square by rotating it through a third Dimension (up or down relative to the two-Dimensional chart surface) around its Opposition or long axis, you get another T-Square, pointing in the opposite Direction from the original Focus. It’s a Ghost of the original T-Square, like the missing half of a Twin Soul. The Ghost resides in the Unconscious. Adding the Ghost to the original T-Square, you get a Grand Cross, four planets approximately equally spaced around the Zodiac. It’s Stable or Balanced because it has no Ghost. A Diamond Star is also Stable or Balanced, because it also Fills the Zodiac. You can rotate a Grand Cross or a Diamond Star any way you like, and the Configuration doesn’t change.

Stability or Balance applies to both astrology and to the Entity to which the chart applies, so a T-Square is astrologically Unstable or Out of Balance, and can be interpreted as an Emotional Instability, though in No sense is it pathological or worthy of anybody’s DSM. The Instability in a T-Square is usually Chronic Dissatisfaction, though of course that can have subsequent consequences, depending on the planets and Signs involved, the rest of the chart, the Cultural Milieu, and the Entity’s Reactions to the Chronic Dissatisfaction. Since the Chronic Dissatisfaction dates from the Birth of the Entity, we can assume it’s Karmic, or an Inertial Habit Pattern brought in by Choice by the Entity’s Soul, as a Heuristic, or Learning Device. The Instability is an Attention-Getting Device, to make sure that the Ego doesn’t Ignore that Element of their Constitution which the Focus of the T-Square indicates, as modified by the nature of the Debate between the other two planets that Oppose one another.

Stability is Created astrologically by Completing the Grand Cross. The Moon does this for several hours every month, and the Native can Learn what the Completed Configuration, and relative Satisfaction, feels like by Remembering what they Feel when the Moon fills the Vacancy. Similarly, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus Complete the Grand Cross annually, Mars every two years, the asteroids every four years, and so on, providing more Opportunities for the Native to Grow their Consciousness.

The Native can also Play with Consciously providing the Energy of the Vacancy, or Integrating the Ghost, by Learning the Sabian or Chandra Symbol (or both) of the Vacancy, and Applying it to their Dissatisfaction. One can use the Direct Opposite of the T-Square’s Focus, or one can use the Actual Midpoint. For instance, a T-Square may have planets at 7 and 9 Degrees in it’s base, and at the Focus a third planet at 10 Degrees. All three are within our usual 3 Degrees of Orb or Sensitivity. The Anti-Focus would be 10 Degrees, while the Actual Midpoint would be 8 Degrees. Both Degrees would provide useful information.*

There are thousands of asteroids, so it makes little sense to include them all. We for instance Choose only the asteroids which directly apply to our Enlightenment or Ascension, or which are well known and well connected to the chart we’re examining. But all of the other asteroids are in the your chart, whether you look at them or not, or at least as soon as you look at them (to use a Quantum distinction). So if you can find a new (to you) asteroid that Fills your Vacancy, and Study its Energy, you’re likely to also Learn more about the Ghost in your Unconscious.

The Native can also Plan their Activities to take advantage of a Transiting planet filling the Vacancy for a short while, in hopes that it will provide greater Satisfaction. However, since the Spiritual Purpose of a T-Square is to bring Attention to the Karmic Expectations, this may, to their Chagrin, Illuminate the Dissatisfaction and Compound it. From the Educational Perspective, that’s Excellent, as the Native’s aim “should be” (if they’re at all concerned with their Self-Knowledge or Enlightenment) to replace their Dissatisfaction with Appreciation for the SuperPower that the T-Square represents. As an Apparently Unsolvable Problem for the Native, they have more Experience with the Issue, and therefore know more about How Not to Approach it.

I’m sure it’s not the only, but one Powerful interpretation of the Chronic Dissatisfaction associated with a T-Square is that the Native is born with Unrealistic Expectations or Perfect Pictures about the Element of their Constitution and the Issues surrounding the Focus and the ongoing Debate in the T-Square’s base. Perfect Pictures are really Easy to pick up from one’s Programmers, especially when we’re Punished for not Conforming to our Programmer’s Perfect Pictures. The closer they are to our Karma, the more Challenging they will be to dislodge.

There is a recognition in modern Management Theory that Failure provides the best education possible, providing one Responds to Failure “appropriately.” Modern Management Theory embodies the worst facets of the Patriarchy, however, so needs to be taken with a bucket of Salt. Like any other Theory (Thoughts about the World rather than Feelings about it – therefore Love is never involved, and as Darshana is so wisely wont to say, Love Is the Answer, No Matter What the Question), it can be useful, but like any other Thought, with great care that Assumptions are Known and Realistic, and Values are not Violated.

But if the Native can Appreciate the Educational Value of meeting Imperfect Reactions to their Perfect Pictures, and eventually come to Realize that the Underlying Problem is that Perfection is a 2D Thought Ideal based on Separation that will never Match the Unitary and Multifarious (≥5D) Nature of Reality, they will Honor every “Failure” of their Perfect Pictures and every Dissatisfaction of their T-Square, as more Experience with the Issue – more Grist for the Mill as Ram Dass would put it. The same could be said for any Expectation, though it takes a lot more Ascension to Achieve No Expectations At All. Eventually the Native may Learn to Live through their nD Heart instead of Surviving through their 2D Mind.

A Native might even eventually Choose Yintegrity over Yangtegrity, and add their Energy to the Cumulative Death of the Patriarchy. Yangtegrity is when we Do what we said we were going to Do, when we said we were going to Do it. Yintegrity means that We Do what we damn well Feel like Doing When we Feel Like Doing it. That is, we Trust our Intuition. While the World is still trapped in Yangtegrity, this means that we have to Minimize our Commitments, Renegotiate when we can, and Make Amends when we can’t, if the Relationship is Worth the Effort. There is a thread in the Radical Integrity literature that avers that we should also Say what we Feel Like Saying, when we Feel Like Saying it. In most cases, that’s a great way to collect Enemies. We much prefer an NVC-like approach, which takes a lot of Retraining and Practice, but is Worth it; see Bibliography under Marshall Rosenberg.

The second fundamental Challenge with the T-Square occurs in Western Civilization and its Clones, where Dominion is misinterpreted to mean Control. The T-Square is a Fourth Harmonic Angle (360° / 4 = 90°). The Corresponding Principle in the Tarot Major Arcana is The Emperor. The namesakes of the asteroid Damocles and the dwarf planet Pholus illustrate the difference between Dominion and Domination or Control.

Damocles was a courtier who was so impressed by the Luxuries that the Emperor Enjoyed, that he asked the Emperor if he could for one day sit on his throne. The Emperor agreed, but before Damocles could sit, he hung a sword above the chair, suspended by a single horsehair. Damocles was too terrified by this to Enjoy his Sojourn. The Emperor was illustrating the other side of the Coin of Luxury that he Enjoyed – the hard work of Managing the Territory under his Dominion, Resolving Conflicts among the People under his Dominion Fairly, and Defending the Territory and People against External Threats. In other words, Dominion hangs by a thread, and Failure is Catastrophic. Sounds familiar, but we aren’t even Doing Dominion, we’re trying to get by on Control!

Centaur Pholus hosted Heracles while Heracles was one of Zeus’s Hit Men for remnants of the Matriarchy as Zeus made Space for his Patriarchy. We can hardly Blame Pholus for not thinking of Everything, but failing to Lock Up the Wine that was Sacred to his Fellow Centaurs was a fairly serious Betrayal to the Mission his Compatriots had entrusted in him. While Pholus was running errands, Heracles found and Opened the Sacred Wine, Intending to refresh himself (or Intending as a Hit Man the eventual result!). The Centaurs smelled the Opened Wine immediately and went Ballistic. A terrible war resulted, with the Death of many Hupers and most of the Centaurs, and the Unhealable Wounding of Chiron. Control might work for a while, but it’s impossible to Control Everything.

Dominion means Taking Care Of, while Domination means Assuming Autocratic Control Over without even Soliciting Consent, including Uncaring Control over Life and Death. The Early Popes Declared that so-called “Christians” were to have Domination over All who would not Submit to their Old-Testament God. That included Hupers and All Others. Often the Missionaries read the Popes’ Proclamations to Indigenous Tribes in unknown European languages, and their Iron-Clad Companions summarily slaughtered all who didn’t immediately take a knee.

Consequently, we grew up with Patriarchic models for our T-Squares. We’re Programmed to Bully our way through Chronic Dissatisfaction through Blame and Abuse of the Scapegoats whom we’re Programmed to Choose by propaganda from our Patriarchic Masters. Like Abandonment and Suffocation, the Feeling of Chronic Dissatisfaction is never our Feeling, it’s always “Caused by” someone or something else. Like 🦨Pootin’ or 🦖T.rump, or if you’re otherwise inclined, Choose any Demons in Faux News Denunciations like AOC, or those coming out of the pieholes of the MTG and LOB Karens in Congress, or Governors Abbot and DiCostello, or “Woke” weirdos like us.

Then there’s the Grand Cross, which we make when we Complete a T-Square. We Expect that Completing our T-Squares permanently, one way or another (as suggested above), to Convert our basic Attitudes toward the Issues Focused by our Natal T-Squares and their underlying Debates, will be a great Boon to Raising our Vibration and Contributing to the general Élan that we bring into our Manifestations.

Remember that the Content of our Manifestation Exercises is just more Thoughts About Our Feelings, and what we’re most likely to Manifest is More of What We’re Feeling While We Express Our Manifestations. We don’t want to Manifest the Red Convertible or the Big Payoff, we want to Manifest What We Expect to Feel When We’re Driving Around in Our Red Convertible, before it breaks down again, and What We Expect to Feel When We Harvest the Big Payoff, before we have to Spend it all on Fixing our Red Convertible.

Our Most Important Manifestations are always What Our Natal T-Squares Make Most Difficult. As long as we Manifest from Chronic Dissatisfaction, guess what we’re going to Co-Create More of! This is why Dane Rudhyar regarded the T-Square as the Evolutionary Edge for Huperity. Look at what “our” Cultures are Manifesting – more Genocide, more Famine, more Inequality, more Extreme Weather, etc. etc. Our Chronic Dissatisfaction Contributes to this. Think about how many times you’ve Felt too Cold, versus how many times you’ve Felt too Hot or Just Right. Assuming all of the other Several Billion Unconscious Manifesters on the planet have been Feeling similarly, could just that have made a Contribution to Global Balming et al?

So a Grand Cross is four T-Squares Cozied up to one another like they were at a Swingers Party. Four Chronic Dissatisfactions Dissatisfying one another. But the Grand Cross is Balanced, Stable. It doesn’t suffer from those many shades of Problem that the T-Square faces from its first Challenge. It’s Self-Resolving, it Fills the Zodiac. Each of those T-Squares, rather than Big Chronically Dissatisfying Problems, become much smaller Irritating Hassles. And if we Leave Them Alone, the Irritating Hassles Balance one another, and we end up being an Irritated Multitasker. And since Multitasking is Admired in our Patriarchic Culture where we have so Much to Do, most Multitaskers are Proud of it, and long since past their Irritation. It becomes Eustress, Positive Stress.

Yes, you can gain Self-Knowledge by Examining each of the four T-Squares, but the Focus of the original T-Square is far more Important, because in the case of a Transit Completing a Natal T-Square, the other three T-Squares are Ghosts. Yes, you want to Know your Ghosts, because eventually you’ll have to Integrate them. But the Transiting Planet is Temporary and Singular, it may not well Represent the Totality of the Vacancy, and it may lead you to Focus on the Temporary Impact of its two T-Squares more than on the Ghost.

I’m reading Lonsdale’s Chandra Symbols for the Degrees of the Vacancy in my major Challenge of a T-Square, one I’ve over the course of my Life only partially been able to Honor as a SuperPower. Writing this makes me Realize how Not-Done I am with this task, as I’m seeing how several Chronic Anxieties fit in where I hadn’t Noticed the Connection before. There are several planets involved, so there are several relevant Degrees, including their Average. I haven’t yet read the Degrees of the Squares to the planets in the base of this T-Square.

From two of the three Symbols I read, I had the Reaction that, OMG, I really Do That! I’d never Thought of it That Way Before. I Felt more Trusting of Myself after reading each, as the Readings organized for me what were scattered fragments of my Self a few minutes ago. The third Symbol, I wasn’t sure that I Recognized myself in it while I was reading it. But as I got to the end of the Symbol, it was more OMG, I need to read this many more times! It seems to point to a part of Myself that I don’t even Recognize, but which at the same time appears to be part of Me.

This third Symbol Opposed the Ignored secondary asteroid that’s Merged with the Major Planet whose Impact on the Challenge I so Clearly Recognize. So I’ve never given it much Attention, and it seems appropriate that this “Sub-Vacancy” hold Promise to Open Myself up to an almost-totally Unknown part of Myself. I haven’t looked at Rudhyar’s Sabian Symbols yet, but based on this Experience I highly Recommend at least Londale’s interpretation of your Vacancies.

I did find one asteroid – an obscure recently-discovered Trans-Neptunian Iceball. In addition to Opposing the “Ignored secondary asteroid” in the Max-Challenge T-Square at my Birth, at its Discovery it Conjoined my Natal asteroid Karma. The three Diamond Stars in its Discovery chart did add information to the Surprising third Lonsdale reading, the one for the Vacancy Opposite the same Ignored secondary asteroid. More than Coincidence, so that’s one Independent verification of the Unknown-asteroid-Filling-the-Vacancy thesis.

Nature Is Always in Balance

So, what about Hupers? Well, contrary to poplar opinion, Hupers are part of Nature. A small part, but one which punches far beyond its weight when it comes to Destructiveness. So yes, Hupers are always in Balance. What’s Missing when we Feel – or Are – Out of Balance, resides in the Unconscious. We can’t Rely totally on our Feelings to Inform us when we’re Out of Balance, because most of us were Programmed to Overcompensate for what our Programmers Repressed. It’s often a Cultural thing, since Cultures which Overcompensate for Anxiety or Insecurity or Fear, do so by Encouraging Conscious Aggression. Goddess Knows we could do with fewer of these kinds of Cultures, or Families, or Führers on Earth.

This is Lit Up because the planetary symbol for Abuse and Privilege, Nessus, is particularly Emphatic (Stationary) till at least PST 3am (GMT 11am, IST 4:30 pm, AEDT Qld 9pm) 27 November. Hupers get Out of Balance partly because they rely on Mental Dualities to Idealize Behaviors and even Emotions. In Striving toward “the Good,” Hupers push what’s “Bad” into the Unconscious. If anyone’s been following the Collapse of the FTX Crypt-O’Currency Exchange, they’re seeing a perfect example. “SBF” seems to be such a good Con that he may even have Conned himself. Seems to be quite a few of these Self-Con Jobs emerging from the Dustbunnies lately, Emulating that “Man from Florida Who Made an Announcement” and that gazillionaire who’s been Roasting a tiny little bird on a spit for Entertainment, and Recruiting Men from Florida.

Nothing Cons others better than the source of the word itself, Confidence. Hupers probably worship Confidence even more than they Worship Wealth, because they know that Confidence is one of the first prerequisites for Accumulating Wealth. The hallmark of Conservatism is the need to Rely on Authority, and nothing promotes Authority like Unconditional Confidence. Privilege doesn’t happen without Confidence, and Abuse doesn’t happen without Privilege. It’s the Mental Dualities that trap Hupers into circumstances like this.

When we have an Angel whispering in one ear and a Devil in the other and we have a hard time telling which is the Angel, the Way Out is Up. We Tell and Ask ourself, Ok, those are the End Points – of What Dimension? In the case of Abuse and Privilege, one Answer is Equality. If you’re dealing with Sexual Abuse and the protagonists are Equals, you’re just Playing Doctor, or some adult equivalent. There can of course be many Answers to the What Dimension? Question, and most of them will be Useful to some degree. When we look at Abuse and Privilege as an Equality issue, the Power Dynamics become Obvious, and most of them can be Traced to the Patriarchy.

The Classical Crystal for representing Equality is Clear Quartz, pure Silicate, like my personal favorite Diamantina Quartz, or my second-favorite, this Record-Keeper Corinto Quartz…

Just less than half of the Earth’s Crust is Oxygen, and just over a quarter is Silicon, adding to 75% of the Crust. Add other elements to the mix, and Silicates comprise 95% of the Crust, though only 12% is Quartz. Silicon and Oxygen combine as SiO₄ tetrahedrons, with the Silicon nucleus in the center of four triangles pasted together at the edges, like at right. An Oxygen nucleus sits at each of the four corners. Quartz is a tektosilicate, where the tetrahedrons arrange themselves in a three-dimensional matrix.

The overall ratio in Quartz is SiO₂, because each Oxygen nucleus is shared between the Silicon nucleus in the current tetrahedron and the Silicon nucleus of the adjacent one. Quartz is a Messenger, carrying Energy, including Healing Energy, and having unique Electromagnetic properties. Tiny Quartz Crystals are used as timing devices in all computers and communication equipment. You wouldn’t be reading this without Quartz.

There are three Self-Resolving Challenges (in astrologuese, Diamond Star Configurations, or T-Squares [red triangles] and Fingers of the Goddess [green wedges] pointing to the same place) in the 27 November Emphatic Abuse and Privilege (Nessus Stationary) chart. Like all Challenges, these become SuperPowers when we Rise to the Challenge and become Confident that we’re Competent to handle it. The Challenges or T-Squares in our natal charts usually represent Lifelong Frustrations, because the Dramas never Work Out the way we wanted them to.

Once we Realize though that Real Life doesn’t Follow our Perfect Pictures, and think about How Much Experience we have with those Difficult Dramas, and how we have Learned how to Avoid the Worst Consequences of Imperfection, we figure out that – Whoa, these actually Are my SuperPowers! Most of the time, when we stop and think about it, the Elements of Life that give us the most Trouble, are also the Elements of Life that Others Ask us for Advice about! They See and Trust our Experience with the Issue, while we don’t yet, because we haven’t Chosen to Be Confident about the Value of Our Experience.

We probably won’t have time to convert the three current Challenges to SuperPowers, unless we have similar natal Challenges, but by making the effort to Tolerate Imperfection, we can Learn a heck of a lot about these Challenges, to use in future similar Situations. All three are Self-Resolving, which means that if we can take the role of Neutral Observer and Avoid too much Intervention to Save our Ego from Embarrassment, they’ll Work Out for the Best.

The three red triangles and green wedges point to…

• 1. Mercury-Venus (Mind-Heart) with Mercury Out of Bounds (Strong) – Noticing how the Mind in its Arrogance or Privilege Believes itself to Make Better Decisions than our Heart, Emotions, and Values, and how we Abuse our Heart, Discount our Emotions, and Violate our own Values as a result! I don’t know about you, but for every minute I spend Learning to Quiet the Mind, Attend Closely to the Feelings – Sensations – in My Body that Align with My Emotion, Ask Reverently for Advice from my Body’s Ancient Wisdom, and Learning to Listen Attentively and Patiently and Impartially for that Advice, for every minute of that, I have spent and still spend days, months, years, Lifetimes Listening to My Thoughts about My Emotions, which at their very best are Fiction based on a True Story but Warped by My Programming, and more often Merely a Rehashing of My Past Failures to Learn the Wisdom Embedded in My Failures and the Failures of my Programmers.
  • The base of the red triangle, Juno-Nessus (Growth in Consciousness around Abuse and Privilege) Opposite Orcus-Thereus (Pattern-Breaking Merged with Bear-Wrestling) gives us a picture of what those would-be Angels-Devils on each Shoulder are whispering in our Ears – “You’re so fucking tired of Wrestling with this Bear of a Question about whether there’s Anything You can Do Differently to Avoid this Abuse or Memory, that you may as well just Surrender to Your Forever-Unresolved Anger and Fear and Shame about it.” “No, you’ve Done that a thousand times and you Know it doesn’t help At All. There must be Something you can Do Differently, that you haven’t Thought of yet!”
  • The base of the green wedge, Uranus-North Node (Soul Merged with Lifetime Mission) Sextile (Grace once we Make the First Step) Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles) tells us to whom we must Surrender in order for the Issue to Self-Resolve. Clues Galore! We might PIAVA to Ganesh that the Bear of a Question be Removed as an Obstacle. We can Ask Ourself, What If I Did Know My Soul and a Little about My Lifetime Mission – Maybe if I just Daydream about that I can Open Myself to My Own Intuition about What – If Anything – I need to Do About It.
  • The long green arms of the Finger of the Goddess, namely the Relationship between Mind-Heart and Soul-Mission, and the Relationship between Mind-Heart and Removal of Obstacles, are Quincunxes (5 Signs apart), which are Mystery Schools, filled with so many Paradoxes that the 2D Mind can only Screw it Up Royally. PIAVA that we Gain Wisdom Somehow, and Change the Subject!!! Get your Mind busy with Anything Else. Otherwise you’ll condemn yourself to more months and Lifetimes Debating with your Programmed Self-Sabotage. Guess who will win.
  • There are two short green lines or Unxes (1 Sign apart) on each side of the Focus. An Unx is a Get-Outa-Jail-Free card for Pattern-Breaking, an excellent time for some PIAVAs…
    • Mind-Emphasized-but-Merged-with-Heart Unx South Node – God/Goddess, Please Help Me Let Go of All My Held Emotions Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely! or something like that. (See 2. Lachesis, below)
    • Mind-Heart Unx Klotho-Magdalena – God/Goddess, Please Open Me to Beginning a Whole New Life (Klotho) where I Constantly Ask For and Graciously Receive Mary Magdalene’s Loving Guidance (Magdalena) or something like that. (See 3. Chiron, below)
  • The Focus of the Diamond Star is at the Midpoint of Sagittarius, which is the Place where we Let Go Of Believing that we Know the Answer, and Open to Brainstorming about Alternatives, and Stop Rejecting Our Intuition (end of Taurus Duad and Beginning of Gemini Duad of Sagittarius).
• 2. Lachesis (Karma that has not Expired on its own, but which we have the Power to Let Go Of Consciously If We Choose to) – There is a Pattern or Habit or Addiction that is Stopping Us from Moving Forward, and we can’t seem to be Able to Break it. We haven’t given ourself Permission to Break it, and Permission to Accept the Consequences, which are Unpredictable. Karma is Dead. It doesn’t have us in its Grasp, we have it Firmly Grasped. Even when Karma has Expired, we still seek it out, because it’s Familiar and we Feel Lost without it. Karma is our Expectations. The last time that happened, such and such happened, and now that is happening again, and I’m Terribly Anxious that such and such will happen again. Once again, we have to Move Up! What’s really going on in Current Moment Reality? I’m Feeling Anxiety! What will I Create when I’m Feeling Anxiety? More Anxiety. So I need to find a way to Move to a Posture of Love or Gratitude or Peace or Excitement
  • The base of the red triangle and the Angels and Devils Shoulding us? The Nodal Axis, with Uranus at the North Node (The course of my Life, from my Held Emotions [South Node] to my Lifetime Mission [North Node], with Soul Merged with My Mission!). Wow, that’s one Hell of a Pattern! Well, the only thing we can do is Go For It! First thing we need to do is Open up to Ego Death, because Held Emotions (the ones We’d rather Die than Feel, but which are really that We‘d (our Ego) rather Die than Feel them) won’t Let Go without an Ego Death. PIAVA that – God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, Please Open Me to the Ego Deaths I Need, Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely! Then we need to just Surrender to Our Soul and our Mission – Lord, Take Me Now! plus whatever caveats you think you need to stay Safe, the Fewer the Better. The only Ultimate Protection is Ultimate Vulnerability. Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely! never hurt nobody. This is Big – you been waiting all your Life for this! May as well Dive In Completely!
  • The base of the green wedge and Self-Resolution Grace? Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles) Sextile (Grace If Only I’d Ask for it) Orcus-Thereus (No-Holds-Barred Teacher of Pattern-Breaking) – God/Goddess, Please Help Me Surrender Completely to These Unbelievable Gracious Energies and Leave All My Stress Behind! or something like that.
  • Don’t Think of an Elephant, and while you’re at it, Acknowledge that the Relationship between Obstacles and Karma and between Pattern-Breaking and Karma (the long green lines) are so far above what anybody’s 2D Mind can comprehend, that you’d Never Bother to waste your time trying!
  • The short green lines…
    • Lachesis Unx Klotho-Magdalena – God/Goddess, Please Help Me Let Go of All Impediments to Opening Up to Beginning a Whole New Life where I Constantly Ask For and Graciously Receive Mary Magdalene’s Loving Guidance! Or something like that.
    • Lachesis Unx Juno-Nessus – God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, Please Help Me Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely Let Go of All Impediments to a Huge Growth Spurt in Consciousness around Equality! Or something like that.
  • Lachesis, the Focus, is in 13 Aquarius, We Have All the Time in the World to Let Go of Yet Another Attempt by the Collective to Drag Us Back into Anxiety about Life and Death.
• 3. Chiron (Despair and Miracles) – We Know How to Handle Despair, Right? We Poor-Sweetheart Ourself! “You Poor Sweetheart, You’re Feeling Hopeless, Aren’t You.” Then we Change the Subject. Changing the Subject is important, because if we don’t Divert our Mind, it’ll Think us right back into Hopelessness. What, We Like to be Hopeless? Goddess, it’s Strangely Satisfying, isn’t it. Who are we Punishing by Feeling Hopeless? Who was it that put Roadblocks in front of us no matter which way we turned? It wasn’t their fault, they were just trying Protect us? Well of course, but it wasn’t much of a Protection, was it! Who are we Punishing by staying in Hopelessness? Is it really worth it? Wouldn’t we Get Even with them better by Stepping into Freedom that they won’t be Able to Spoil?
  • The Opposition in the base of the Chiron T-Square is Ganesa Opposite Klotho-Magdalena! What a Horrible Fate, to have to Decide whether to let Ganesha Guide us or Mary Magdalene!! What, we can do both?!?!?! Hallelujah! Do you Really Think that they’d ever Disagree with one another and couldn’t combine their Wisdom into something far Better? Oh, that was your Catholic father and Anglican Mother you were confusing with Ganesh and Mary. Ok, that’s understandable. But now you’ve Let that Go, right? I mean, they’ll speak in different languages, but what Fun it will be to have Mary Magdalene whispering Advice into one Ear and Ganesh into the other! You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Overflowing with Grace, Aren’t You. Good Old Upper Limits! (Hendricks, The Big Leap)
  • I’m sitting here with a nasty Squall blowing cold rain or hail against the skylight, Grateful to be Warm and Dry, when the notion of Homelessness shakes me to the core for a moment. Then I Realize, Been There Done That, Don’t Have to Do It Again! followed by But What About All Those Poor Souls Out There Right Now! So I say a Prayer for them. Then I come back to Don’t Have to Do It Again! and that’s Exciting. Another Prayer for the Others, this time with (Better) “Feeling”!
  • The base of the green wedge to Chiron is the Sextile between the South Node and Orcus-Thereus, Thereus the Teacher who don’t take much flak, and Orcus the Ferocious Pattern-Breaker. I don’t mind them Helping work on my South Node at all!
  • The Pattern-Breaking Unxes are…
    • Chiron Unx Uranus-North Node, Breaking Patterns that would Impede Merger of my Soul with my Mission.
    • Chiron Unx Juno-Nessus, Expanding my Consciousness around Equality, Letting Go of any Karmic, Programmed, or Ancestral Support for the Patriarchy.
  • Chiron sits in 13 Aries, Liberation from our Mental Cage. Where do I sign?
• 4. Finally, with Vacancies in Air and Fire, the only Grand Trines (Unconditional Blessings) are in Water and Earth. Since the only T-Squares are in Air and Fire, so none of the three is Enhanced by a Grand Trine to its Focus. However, the Water and Earth Grand Trines connect the ends of all three of the basal Oppositions, helping make the three Complementary to one another. In addition, the two Magnetic/Feminine Grand Trines create a Grand Sextile (Fabulous Grace, though it requires the Initiative of the “User”). So while the Challenges are all to the Dynamic/Masculine Signs (which obviously need the Work the most), the Goddess lends her Max Grace to the pudding!

I neglected to draw in the blue lines representing the Grand Trine in Water, and I mislabeled Cancer, home to Ganesa, as Leo. Please make those corrections for me on your copy of the chart.

Community and Accountability

Excerpts from Aluna Joy Yaxkin’s Newsletter from today…

“First, it’s clear that what is arriving for us now cannot be assessed alone. The monk-like sojourn experience is no longer valid, not for long term. This new world we are entering is inter-connected, but not dependent, and is fueled by community, and this community is to be connected to the earth and the cosmos… Secondly, we are being asked to hold a unique balanced presence and it was clear we do not understand what this is. . . Not yet anyway…

“I may not be totally clear about what this presence actually is, because it’s not something that can come from the mind, or can be explained with words. It radiates from the heart. There is no pretense or specialness emanating from this presence. In fact it’s anything but. It is an egoless quiet power, a presence. It is easy. It is simple. It is truth. It is love. It is about showing up authentically all the way.”

Jupiter, whose Energy is Lit Up by Standing Still in the Sky till 3:02 pm PST 23 November 2022 (GMT 11:02 pm 23rd; IST 4:32 am 24th; AEDT Qld 9:02 am 24th), Expands Everything, including the Karmic Blocks that we’re Working on. That’s actually a Blessing, though it’s likely to Feel quite the opposite. One of quickest ways we have to Reject Emotions we don’t like, is to Blame them on someone else. “You make me Angry!” “It makes me so Sad when you say that.” “You’ve Made my Day!” Our favorite Emotions to Reject are our Abandonment and our Suffocation.

We Feel Our Abandonment when we Feel Lonely and “Miss” someone, when we Feel Ignored or Discounted, especially while Sharing Vulnerable Emotions, or when we’re Disrespected or Discriminated against. We Feel Our Suffocation when someone “crowds” us, Intrudes upon the Physical Space we want around us in the Moment, asks questions that are Uncomfortable for us in Moment, or when we feel like someone is “Interrogating” us about a Sensitive Issue, with little or no Empathy. When our Abandonment or Suffocation is Triggered, it is so Easy to Judge and Blame the other person and make them Accountable for Our Feelings, which is a Dead End Growth-Wise.

Most of Our Abandonment and Suffocation is Karmic. While every Child will Encounter Abandonment and Suffocation, it’s not likely to become much of an Issue for anyone if it isn’t Karmic. However, when we look at how much Abandonment and Suffocation influence History and Politics, we have to conclude that it’s a Big Issue for Huperity. How many Wars can be traced to Insults? Certainly All of the Religious Wars. Abuse is the epitome of Suffocation. “Feminism” is all about Abandonment (Lack of Respect) and Suffocation (Abuse). Abandonment is a major Enforcement tool for the Patriarchy, as in “You’re Fired!” So we’re dealing with Karma that’s more than Personal. Culturally Approved Karma is always harder to Let Go.

Abandonment and Suffocation are things that We Feel, and All of our Emotions Are Our Own. No one else ever makes us Feel Angry or Sad or Loved or Excited or Scared. What they say or do may Trigger Our Feelings, but those Feelings Are Ours, and if we ever want to be Free or Enlightened or 5D’d, we have to Own Them as Ours and Ours Alone. Failing to Own our Emotions can dump us out of having Control Over Time, and always Separates us from the Reality of Interpersonal Dynamics.

Marshall Rosenberg, a Rogerian psychologist, developed a way of Speaking and Hearing that he called “Non-Violent Communication,” or “NVC,” that shifts our Orientation toward our Feelings into Ownership. It’s simple to describe, but very difficult to adhere to in practice. Regardless, it teaches us about Ownership of our Emotions, so it’s very useful even if we never get it right. For instance, “You make me Angry!” becomes…

“When you called me an Asshole, I Felt Angry, which Feels Imbalanced to me. I Need to Feel Balanced, so I’m wondering if you could tell me what it was that struck you as Asinine.”

Or, these days, “I Need to Feel Safe, so are you willing to tell me whether or not you have a gun or a knife or a hammer?”

No guarantee that it will keep your Nose unbroken, but at least it Avoids Blame and Judgment, whether the other person recognizes that or not. Your aim isn’t to Own being an Asshole, or to get even, it’s to Create or Continue Connection with the other person, though Marshall always emphasized that how long or hard you want to Work at Creating or Continuing Connection is totally about your own Pleasure! Outside of practicing NVC or some other external Goal (like keeping a job or avoiding Injury or Death), you may have absolutely no Pleasure in Pursuing Connection with someone who calls you an Asshole. In which case, you back away, Carefully.

The Formula is a Neutral Observation about what occurred, followed by a Description of the Feeling it Triggered in us, followed by our Preference or Need to Feel or Be otherwise, and finished with a Request of the other person. Finishing with a Request keeps the Conversation Flowing, so you aren’t just making Proclamations. Here’s a super-simple introduction, with links to more detail…

If you click on the “Watch on =>YouTube” button, you’ll get a column of additional ‘Tubes, including several by Marshall himself. Like I say, it is very difficult to adhere to in practice. Here’s another ‘Tube on what it’s like when we’re Triggered…

NVC is especially useful in Cleaning Up our Self-Talk. For instance, replacing “You Idiot, there you go Doing That Again” with “Wow, I just Noticed How Self-Abusive I Can Be! Terrific! Now I can start to Change that Self-Sabotaging Habit!” There’s a Powerful article on this at https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jan/16/inner-voice-self-criticism-psychologist-ethan-kross-chatter-voice-head, about psychologist and neuroscientist Ethan Kross’s Emotion and Self Control Lab at Michigan University.

Dr. Kross’s book Chatter: The Voice in Our Head and How to Harness It sounds like an excellent source for someone who gets stuck inside their head in what I used to call Helicopter Trips – eternal arguments between different points of view – before I Learned how to quell the rotors by moving from Heads-versus-Tails to the Coin between them.

In the 23 November Jupiter and New Moon chart, you may not have noticed that Damocles is still Lit Up. It Unxes (1 Sign or Pattern-Breaking) Jupiter (the Exaggerated Expansion of our Acceptance of Emotionality SuperPower), Squares (3 Signs or Challenges) the New Moon, and Trines (4 Signs or Dumb-Luck Blessings) the Rebirth into Unconditional Love SuperPower. Not only is it tightly entangled with the Jupiter-New Moon Meat of the week, it’s also tied up in a Deep Knot of other planets – Herakles (Zeus’s Hit Man for the Patriarchy), Vesta (Growth of Consciousness), Phaedra (Shame), and Gonggong (Intrusive Memories). What a mess!

The Stellium (Group of 3 or more planets) – the Deep Knot – is about Taking Ownership of Our Shame and Our Own Role in the Perpetuation of the Patriarchy. We may be dealing with Shame so Deep that we don’t even consider it to be Shame – we just don’t talk about it because we Fear it would Estrange everyone we know. Shame that isn’t even Ours, but was passed down to us from previous generations. It wasn’t that long ago that Men Believed that they Owned their Daughters and it was their Right and Privilege or even Obligation to “Teach” them about Sex. And not that long ago that Women had no Choice but to buy into that Regime if they wanted to continue Eating, and perhaps had no Choice because the Shame would have been Unbearable if it was out in the Open. Who among us are Immune from those sorts of Ancestors? Would we even Know?

We don’t have to Open Up to others about our Fears around these kinds of Shame, but it will be Powerful to Acknowledge this kind of Shame to ourself, and Accept Ownership of it – Very Carefully, as we have to be meticulous about Avoiding Blame, especially Self-Blame. This Energy is embedded in the very Core of Western European Colonialism and its cousin White Supremacy. We’re obviously already Feeling the next astroevent after Jupiter-New Moon – a Station of Nessus (Emphasis on Abuse and Privilege) at 3:01 am PST (GMT 11:01 am, IST 4:31 pm, AEDT Qld 9:01 pm) 27 November.

We aren’t going back to the Painful days of 2015-2017, when Nessus and Gonggong were traveling together in early Pisces, both Out of Bounds, Lighting Up everyone who was already Aware of their own childhood Abuse and Opening many others to theirs, in very Emotional (Pisces) circumstances. In the Jupiter-New Moon chart, Nessus has moved nine Degrees beyond Gonggong, far enough that our November adventures aren’t about Abuse per se, but about the Shame around it. The Degree Symbol for the Initiation of the new Nessus-Gonggong Cycle on 19 May 2015 in 4 Pisces was Total Chaos Of Time, Space, Emotion, Direction, Boundaries, Lifetimes, etc etc, with the Jewel in the Heart of Lotus Not Easy to Find, Requiring Union with the Soul.

Crazy-Making, in other words. This is a Journey we’re Stuck with for at least another century. Both planets have very elongated orbits, so Cycle times are not consistent. The previous Cycle was 150 years, but our estimates of their orbits from current knowledge runs only to 2100. Those of us who Remember those days in 2015-2017, are very Grateful that Reality has Settled Down quite a bit since then, even as Chaotic as it currently is. We’ve had a lot of on- and off-planet Allies helping us Seek the Jewel. Ajoite, a hydrated Potassium-Sodium-Copper-Aluminum Mica, often occurring as a subtle Aqua tint in Quartz Crystals, is one of those Allies that Mother Earth has given us, an Ally that’s Reputed to Power our Resurrection. Aho! – So Be It!…

Rebirth into Unconditional Love

Wednesday, 23 November 2022, is our Watershed day this week, as…

• Mercury goes Out of Bounds (Enhanced Awareness and Communication) at 1:19 pm PST (GMT 9:19 pm 23rd; IST 2:49 am 24th; AEDT Qld 7:19 am 24th), in 11 Sagittarius (Completely in Tune with the Flow, and Confronted with the Shadows), home of the Royal Star Antares (Obsession), making our Awareness more Acute and our Communication more Concise, till 22 December. Of course, we don’t need to have our Awareness Dull and our Communication Garble then. If we Set our Intention, we can Learn how Mercury OOB Feels, and Resurrect that Feeling at will later.
• New Moon (Reboot) at 2:58 pm PST (GMT 10:58 pm 23rd; IST 4:28 am 24th; AEDT Qld 8:58 am 24th), in 2 Sagittarius (The Need to Continually Expand into New Territory by Synthesizing Multiplicity into a Colorful Whole). The overall theme of this New Moon and in general the following several weeks, is Mystical Rebirth into Unconditional Love.¹
• Jupiter Stationary (Great Expansiveness) till 3:02 pm PST (GMT 11:02 pm 23rd; IST 4:32 am 24th; AEDT Qld. 9:02 am 24th), in 29 Sagittarius (Resisting Total Surrender), home of the Fixed Star Acumen (Destructive Gossip).¹
• Moon goes Out of Bounds South at 11:02 pm PST (GMT 7:02 am; IST 12:32 pm; AEDT Qld 5:02 pm), in 7 Sagittarius (Staying on Your Edge). Moon OOB makes us more Emotional because our Instincts are more Acute so our usual Restraint is more often overcome, and in the Southern Hemisphere we may be prone to Panic. The Moon is OOB until 2:26 am PST (GMT 10:26 am; IST 3:56 pm; AEDT Qld 8:26 pm) 28 November, in 8 Aquarius (Focused on Knowing the Self but Thwarted by the Mind’s Insistence on Structure, Form, and Sequence, till Realizing that We’re Seeking a Snapshot rather than a Reality).

¹ The combined New Moon-Jupiter Stationary chart features two intertwined Fully Self-Resolving SuperPowers (red triangles), one focused on the Jupiter Station (Exaggerated Expansion of our Acceptance of Emotionality) in the penultimate Degree of Pisces (Obsessive Dedication to Sacred Tradition), and the other focused on the Stellium of Haumea (Rebirth), Narcissus (Self-Obsession), and Eurydike (Trust) Merged (Rebirth of Our Self-Trust) in the Scorpio and Sagittarius Duads of Scorpio (Fearless Examination of the Whys of Things, and Letting Go of Judgment Once They’re Discovered ).

The Expansion and the Rebirth SuperPowers are connected by a Quincunx (Mystery School), making each one leg of the Self-Resolution of the other (the Fingers of the Goddess or green wedges that render each Self-Resolving). Self-Resolution means that Observing and Waiting works better than trying to “Fix” anything). That is, they Collaborate nicely if we Let Them Be.

The other Self-Resolution leg of the Expansion SuperPower is a Merger of Self-Love and Enlightenment (Sappho Conjunct Samadhi) across the Cusp of Virgo. The Cusp of Virgo is where Self-Adulation Breaks Down into Ego Death, and Spiritual Fire Begins to Descend into Matter. Sappho is in the Final Degree of Leo (The Priestess of Self-Clarity, Her Own and Yours) and Samadhi is in 5 Virgo (The Edge between Fear and Ego Death).

If we Experience the Expansion SuperPower as a Challenge or Bummer, the Gift is that Our Blocks Become Obvious to Us. It’s up to us to Claim Ownership of these Blocks and Gently and Lovingly Embrace them as a part of Ourself that has been Unfairly Judged and Abandoned all these Years and possibly Lifetimes, like Welcoming an Unexpected but Very Lovable Younger Sibling that We’ve Been Separated From since Infancy.

The other Self-Resolution leg of the Rebirth SuperPower is Sedna (Converting Fear to Power) in the Last Degree of Taurus (Guided to Explore the Underwhere), which is Adjacent to the Pleiadian Star Alcyone (Absence of Judgment). If we Experience the Rebirth SuperPower as Challenge or Downer, the Gift is that our Unconscious Fears may leak into Consciousness. No matter what you’re Feeling, ask yourself, “Is this hidden Fear? Of What? And Why?” Kegels are always good for Converting Fear to Power. Tapping also works great for Calming Crawling Skin and allowing your Hair to Stand Down. If it appears that Tapping doesn’t work for you, Ask yourself, What if it Did Work but I didn’t Notice it? and Tap several more times. When I wake up with my Skin Crawling, it takes several iterations of Tapping to Calm it.

Gazing at or Holding Morganite (pink Beryl, Beryllium Aluminum Cyclosilicate, usually tinted with Manganese impurities) is recommended as an antidote to Fear…

Accountability, Denial, and Time III

In the first post in this series, we averred that “Since no Huper is Whole when they’re in Denial, that’s Damocles’s Job, isn’t it, to Introduce us to the Lost Fragments of our Soul.” Well, in today’s Download, Natalie Glasson Channels the Andromedans on what else but Soul Retrieval, at https://omna.org/soul-retrieval-by-andromedans/. The Andromedans hail from the Andromeda Galaxy, and are not, to my knowledge, Camels, though ya never know. I’ve spoken with Camels, and their Presence is Impressive, but at the time I wasn’t able to Translate their Comments. It wouldn’t be Surprising if they Carry the Perennial Wisdom. Natalie’s Channelings are much less garbled than Barbara Hand Clow’s were, and in fact Natalie’s are very Clear.

For example, “When we, the Andromedans, speak of Soul Retrieval, we are speaking of aspects of your energy field that have become fragmented, that have been hidden from view, separated or even contained within a barrier so you can no longer access it or its energy.” Sounds like a bedmate of Denial. More of Natalie’s Download…

“It can be very easy to call back soul aspects that have been lost, separate and so forth. However, this does not serve your being because it can be hard to process these all at once. It is far safer and easier to allow what is needed for this moment to be returned to you and for you to be reminded of. When you work with your energy, call forth the Healing Andromedan Team, the Soul Retrieval Andromedan Team, and the Unity Andromedan Team. Each of these teams you can call forth to surround you to work with you, and they will make the process very easy. You might be reminded of a painful memory, you might feel separated, you might feel sad, you might feel angry, you might have a colour, a symbol, or a sound.  Whatever comes into your awareness, invite the Healing Andromedan Team, the Soul Retrieval Andromedan Team, and the Unity Andromedan Team to serve you.

“Call all forth to send energy into, whatever you receive, or whatever awareness you receive. Imagine, sense or acknowledge that you are sending your love, your unconditional love, to any awareness you receive or your purpose of allowing what is needed in this moment to be returned to you. Allow love to pour into it until you feel a shift, the energy may dissolve, you may find it becomes brighter in light, you may feel that you are accepting it, or you may simply feel that there is no need to concentrate anymore. Whatever shift you experience, allow yourself to express gratitude and welcome this aspect into your being. Some aspects may be challenging when you become aware of them. If they are challenging, painful or feel overwhelming, you know that you have the three teams with you from the Andromedans as well as your guides. Try to keep a clear focus as much as you can, bringing your attention back to your purpose and to the light and love of your being. Allow any healing and transformation to this aspect, thus accepting this aspect into your being.”

I tried this to Work more with the Revelations I Received over the Damocles-Veritas Weekend, and the result was Marvelous.

Meanwhile, the Webb Telescope, photographing the Fishkissing Galaxy, continues to demonstrate the follies of Cosmological theories based on Linear Time…

No Blame, they’re doing the best they can with the tools they’re permitted to use, which are just very limited.

Referring back to the Damocles Discovery chart in the earlier post, you can see how the green wedge (Finger of the Goddess), across the center of the chart from upper left to lower right, makes the red Pattern-Breaker (Orcus) triangle (T-Square or SuperPower) Self-Resolving, by creating the “Web of Grace” (blue “bowl”) under the T-Square (since the T-Square is oriented toward the lower right, “under” in this case is the upper left). The “blue bowl” fills up the Zodiac and Balances the otherwise tipsy red triangle. The big blue equilateral triangle (Grand Trine or Unearned Blessings) also pointing to Orcus adds a tonne of Grace to the whole Configuration. In the face of a Self-Resolving SuperPower, our Task is to resist any Temptation to Intervene to try to Eliminate the Temporary Discomforts or Herxheimer reaction that can occur before all of the Angles in the chart have finished Balancing one another, and while we Re-Experience what we’ve Repressed while it’s being Jettisoned.

A note on the role of Emotion is important. We have to clarify whether we’re we talking about Physical Issues here, or Emotional Issues. Contrary to what most people Believe – and it’s incredibly Difficult to get otherwise Intelligent and Rational and Well-Balanced People to Understand this in any way that becomes Sustainable for them no matter how often you repeat it – There Is No Difference Between Physical and Emotional Issues. Like all non-Dual Reality, Issues are Unitary and Multifarious. Yes, we may Experience them Differently, but that’s a matter of our Conditioning and Thinking, and Timing. In a nutshell, Unconstructive or Negative Emotions like Anxiety or Judgment Create Physical Cortisols in the Body, and Cortisols create Discomfort and eventually Dis-ease. Constructive or Positive Emotions like Gratitude or Love Create Physical Endorphins in the Body, and Endorphins contribute mightily to Constructive Manifestations, which usually Create more Positive Emotions.

Here’s a nice Strolling-on-the-Beach Rock that may be Capable of Relaxing Anxiety when we Gaze at it. It’s called, logically enough, “Ocean Picture Stone.” It’s a Chalcedony – Chalcedonies are fine-textured Quartzes that are called “Agates” when transparent or translucent, and “Jaspers” when opaque. Since there are so many of them of so many different descriptions, they get named after the Location where they’re found or some other characteristic, such as what they look like. This one is from the British Columbia Coast and Mirrors its Source…

The Emotional and the Physical are not Different Levels or Properties or Characteristics of the Body and of Reality. They are Different Perspectives on the Body and on Reality.

The Emotional and the Physical are not Different Levels or Properties or Characteristics of the Body and of Reality. They are Different Perspectives on the Body and on Reality.

The Emotional and the Physical are not Different Levels or Properties or Characteristics of the Body and of Reality. They are Different Perspectives on the Body and on Reality.

If I say it three times in a row, maybe more people will begin to Register the Information. Our MisBelief that the Body is Divisible is an extension of our MisBelief that the Ego makes us Separate from Huperity and from other Egos. We move toward Enlightenment not by assembling a set of Concepts that Keep Us Safe from Sylvester and Wiley Coyote and Marlin Perkins without Limiting Us Too Much, but by Accepting the Perennial Wisdom as Basic, and Refining all of the other Ideas in our Concept Set to Match the Perennial Wisdom. So How do we Match the Separateness of the Ego with one of the most basic of propositions in the Perennial Wisdom – We Are All One? Which Proposition better fits Reality? We Are All One, or I Am Me and You are You?

Yes, Your Separate Ego seems Real to you. But have you ever noticed that you Change it more often than you change your Costume? So yes, Ego matches the Multifarious criteria of Reality. If we seek any kind of Continuity, we have to cast the Ego as some sort of Container, rather than the Contents of the Container, because the Contents are Mush one minute and Steak the next. Can we make Ego match the Unitary criteria of Reality? Sure, everybody has an Ego. We could probably even extend that to suggest that everyone has the Same kind of Container for their Ego. If you have even a smidgen of Empathy, you often Experience situations where someone pours the contents of their Container into yours. If you’ve ever Experienced real two-way Communication, which is rare, you’ve each poured the Contents of your Containers into the Other’s. That can get Confusing – till you Remember that Confusion is the First Sign of Growth.

If we’re so Separate from the Ukrainians whose apartment block has just been incinerated by a Russian Missile, how is it that we Feel such Empathy for them? Or from the Floridian or Pakistani or Marshall Islander whose Home is waist-deep in Water? Or the Californian or Australian or Greek or Anyone whose Home has Burned to the Ground? Here’s a Global view of all the grid cells where Satellites have detected Fires…

The Ego has an Essential Purpose, but the notion that having one makes us an Individual is a Fantasy. The Ego’s job is to keep us Alive. As with the Unconscious, the Ego has Individual, Cultural, and Global Zones to it. For instance, the Western Civilization whose Demise Bruce Lipton Celebrates, has been trained to Believe that Competition is the only way to Assure Survival. How’s that Working Out for us? Indigenous Cultures had their share of Competition, but they Rely more on Cooperation, especially Cooperation rather than Competition with their Environment.

The Root of the green-wedge Finger of the Goddess in the Damocles Discovery chart is the Cooperation (Sextile) between Nature (asteroid Pan) and The Soul’s Realization that Consciousness Grows through Respect for All Things (Uranus-Juno-Hopi). While we usually interpret dwarf planet Orcus as Pattern-Breaking, it’s also about Pattern-Making. When we Break an Olde Pattern, we can’t help but make New Habits to replace it. We wouldn’t Survive for ten minutes if we weren’t “Creatures of Habit” and we had to solve every minute Issue we face through Innovation.

The long green lines in the Finger are called Quincunxes – Quin for five and unx for Signs (1/12th or the Zodiac), with the c to make it roll off the tongue a little more easily than Quinunx, which sounds more like a kind of Wild Ox. A Quincunx is a Mystery School, which tells us that the Relationship between Our Habits, Old and New both and Nature is a Mystery, and attempting to Reduce it into terms that we can Understand with the 2D Mind, is doomed to Failure. And the Relationship between Our Habits and Our Soul’s Realization that Consciousness Grows through Respect is also Mysterious. If we can’t Engineer the Relationships between Our Patterns (Civilization or Karma), Nature, and Our Growth, what else can we do?

We need to PIAVA these Relationships. PIAVA is our shortcut term for Prayer, Intention, Affirmation, Visualization, Asking, and many other techniques that Magnetize to us things that we Want but have no idea how to Create. In crude terms, Engineering is the “Masculine” way of Creating, while Magnetizing is the “Feminine” way of Creating. Western Patriarchic Civilization specializes in the Engineering method of Creating – and again, How Is That Working Out For Us? As the Patriarchy exhausts it Run and Dies Out, Magnetizing Replaces it.

Our First Step is to move toward Clarity about What We Want. It’s an Iterative process – since our Values and our Wants derive more from our Hearts than our Minds, in order to assign 2D Words to them, we start with a Guess or an Estimate. Maybe What We Want from our Patterns might be something like Improving Our Odds of Survival. Maybe What We Want from Nature is more like What We Want from Ourselves with Regard to Nature, such as Collaboration with Nature, or something like that. Personally, I think that’s Mandatory if we Want to approach 5D. Maybe What We Want from Growth is more Improving Our Survival Odds or something like that.

Adding “…or something like that” is Eugene Gendlin’s very useful suggestion from his book Let Your Body Interpret Your Dreams, which is a fabulous primer for Supporting PIAVA. So a typical PIAVA might look like “I Wonder How I Can Improve My Odds of Surviving Well and Maybe Even Thriving.” We aren’t looking for a Solution or an Answer, in fact, once we PIAVA anything, we need to Change the Subject as soon as possible. We’re looking instead to Program the Unconscious to Reveal Suggestions and even Actions to us. If you want to be a bit more Assertive, you can Choose something like “I Intend to Improve My Odds of Surviving Well and Even Thriving.”

If we Fail to Change the Subject, then our 2D Mind will continue to crank away on all of its Old Thoughts that have long since Proven to be Failures – else we wouldn’t still Want this, we’d Have it. We list many different techniques for PIAVAing elsewhere. Dr. Joe Dispenza points out that when we Want, we’re Affirming our Lack, and therefor it’s better to Affirm Our Gratitude for What We Do Have, whether we Have it Now or not. Remember that our Aspiration is to Leave Linear Time in exchange for 5D, where, in the Perennial Wisdom, All There Is Is Now! Dr. Joe has Powerful techniques for moving our Identity into Nothingness, in order to Provide Space in our Life for the New – otherwise, our current Identity and Patterns already Overfill our Life. I recommend those, but I haven’t become Adept at them yet, so I can’t describe Success with them.

What I have had Success with is PIAVAs like “I Love My Odds of Survival and I Intend to Improve Them Even More.” Another factor that Dr. Joe and others point out, is that Manifestation only Works when it’s done from a posture of Positive Emotion. When we PIAVA anything from Anger or Fear or Scarcity, all we’ll Manifest is more Anger or Fear or Scarcity. We can be even more Specific – as you PIAVA anything, Imagine that You Already Feel the Way You Expect to Feel When Your Manifestation is Successful and Sustainable. It’s not always Easy to Imagine Feeling what you Aren’t, but with Practice you can become Adept. Gary Craig’s Powerful Unseen Therapist technique uses the process of first Focusing on something that you Love or that you Love to Remember.

The Practice of closing your Mouth and Breathing both Inhale and Exhale through the Nose triggers your Vagus Nerve and shuts down your Sympathetic Nervous System (Fight, Flight, Compete, etc.), opening your Parasympathetic Nervous System (Feed, Breed, Rest, Digest, Collaborate, etc.) instead. Practicing gradually lengthening your Inhale to Fill Up your Torso all the way from your Pelvis to your Brainstem can Trigger Joy and Excitement, and perhaps even Raise your Kundalini. That’s an Excellent Practice for Priming your Manifestation Circuits before and during your PIAVAs.

Big blue equilateral triangles (Grand Trines), like the one in the Damocles Discovery chart, connect three Energies in such a way that they Complement one another to a Great Extent, often to such the Extent that our Ego takes Ownership of the Cosmic Grace, and we substitute Arrogance for Gratitude, which is hardly conducive to Self-Resolution, or Manifesting other than Greed. If we Avoid that though, the additional blue triangle greatly Enhances the Self-Resolution of the SuperPower – which we could otherwise Experience as a Challenge.

In this chart, the Grace-Fully Connected Energies are Our Pattern Replacement (Orcus), Our Self-Appreciation (Narcissus), and Our Sense of Propriety (Nemesis). These are three usually quite-Negative notions – Orcus was originally a man-eating Monster who Punished Oath-Breakers, Nemesis a Punisher of Thieves, and Narcissus who missed out on the rest of Life because he was obsessed with his own Image. Since everyone has these three planets natally, and not everyone is Evil, we have to Render them at least Neutral in order to use them Honestly in astrology. We’ve Rendered Orcus primarily as a Pattern-Breaker, especially Karmic Patterns. So how do we Render Nemesis and Narcissus as Neutral or Constructive? I’ll leave that up to you!

Accountability, Denial, and Time II

News…

Polymath, Genius, and MD Zach Bush and one of his foundations, Farmer’s Footprint, are presenting a free “Commune Course” or “Summit” sorta thing called A Path for Healing People and Planet, starting today 17 November 2022 and running through 20 December. More information and registration at https://www.onecommune.com/a-path-for-healing-people-planet-free-sign-up.

In John Perkins’s latest promo for his new edition of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition (due out in late February), John reminds us that “It is important to understand that we are all victims of the Economic Hit Man (EHM) strategy. Americans, Chinese, Russians, Africans, Asians, Europeans, Latin Americans, and people from the island nations, rich and poor – all living beings – are threatened. Many of us are also collaborators. We have bought into the idea that our country is doing the right thing. The strategy works because we support it. It is time to stop this strategy. We can disagree on political, governmental, religious, and other issues, but we must agree that none of those matter on a dead planet – one where the EHM strategy continues. If we want our children to survive, it is imperative that we come together and end the EHM strategy everywhere.”

In Alberto Villoldo’s Earthkeeper Summit interview with Bruce Lipton last week, Bruce pointed out that the Collapse of Western Civilization must occur if we hope to continue to Enjoy Life as we know it. If Western Civilization is allowed to continue, there is Zero Chance that Earth will continue to Exist as a Fun Home for Huperity. Good Point, Bruce! So we need to Shift our Emotional Response to the Apocalyptic Events going on, from Shock and Sadness, to Gratitude, Joy, and Celebration! Hard to Shift away from our Accustomed Empathetic Reaction to Suffering! Maybe if we Appreciate the Present-Moment Victims as Unconscious Martyrs that are Sacrificing their Present in order to Allow their Offspring – and Ours – to Survive. Or?

To be continued…

Accountability, Denial, and Time

What a Portal that was! My Nervous System was Stressed to the Max, and the major Project I was working on had everything go Wrong that possibly could, and then over again, a couple of times! I Learned a heck of a lot about Damocles in the process – Damocles isn’t about “just” Fear of Accountability, it’s about Having to Be Accountable for That which we Prefer to Deny! Since Shame is almost always our Least Favorite Feeling, we’ve Repressed it so well that we often no longer Know when we Feel it – we just know that something is Way Off. We’re often Semi-Conscious of what we Deny, but sometimes we have no Idea.

I don’t claim to have finished my education on the subject of “Luck,” but I’ve Learned enough from Gay Hendricks and Carol Kline’s book on Conscious Luck (Subtitled Eight Secrets to Intentionally Change Your Fortune) to be able to fairly reliably measure my degree of Energetic Coherence from the degree that “Inanimate Objects” Cooperate with my Intentions for them, and by my Ease at winning a game of Solitaire. After Suffering through my repetitive 3-steps-forward-2-steps-back for two days on my Project and finally finishing it, my Energy was more Coherent than it’s ever been. So I have to say, the Rewards are Worth the Struggle. As we’ll see, the Damocles Discovery chart ratifies this.

In Gay’s other indispensable (to 5D Aspirations) book The Big Leap, he provides a couple of very useful clues for working with Damocles. Since Shame so Easily Disguises itself, his Question “Would You Be Willing to Consider that Your Conflict [or Difficulty or Discomfort] Is Not What You Think It’s About?” (p.102) can Shock us Awake and Open us to Insight. And his other Question, “Where in My Life Am I Not Taking Full Ownership?” (p.177) applies not just to “Einstein Time,” but to Discomfort and Difficulty as well. What he calls Einstein Time is when we Realize that in Non-Linear (5D) Reality, We Create All the Time We Want. When we’re having trouble getting back to that from the Limitations and Anxieties of Linear Clock Time, the Answer to this Ownership Question is what return us to it. It helped me escape Damoclean Dysfunction as well.

While it’s always been one of my favorite Crystals, I haven’t explicitly tested it to see if it does what Collen Marquist and Jack Frasl say it does in Crystalline Communion 2000 – cut through Obfuscation, Deception, Dishonesty, and Denial. I trust what Collen and Jack have to say because they’re so accurate for me every time that I do explicitly test their interpretations. It may or may not work that way for you – we’re all different – but here’s a favorite that you can test – even though we’re past the Station, Damocles is still moving very slowly. Without the extra Pressure of the Exact Station and the Simultaneous Station of Veritas/Truth, Opening to our Denial in useful ways might be Easier Now…

Scheelite is a Calcium Tungstate – Tungsten Oxide. An “adult” version of Chromium, Tungsten is only a little Lighter than Gold, so Scheelite is Surprisingly weighty.

When Damocles was Discovered, it was so unusual that they had to create a whole new Category for it, the Damocloids. They have the orbit of a Comet but no Tail, and it’s Speculated that they may be cores of ancient Comets whose Volatiles have all been Boiled Away by previous approaches to the Sun. It has a 41-year Orbit, far too long to be considered an asteroid. It’s Perigee is between Mars and Earth, and its Apogee just beyond Uranus. In that regard it doesn’t fit the mold of the “Centaurs” like Chiron, who “only” shuttle back and forth between Uranus and Saturn. Like mychorrhizal hyphae, Chiron is the Messenger that Connects Soul (Uranus) to Ego (Saturn). Damocles is the Messenger that Connects Soul to the Whole Huper (Earth).

Since no Huper is Whole when they’re in Denial, that’s Damocles’s Job, isn’t it, to Introduce us to the Lost Fragments of our Soul. In the Damocles Discovery chart…

…you can see that the only T-Square SuperPower/Challenge (the red triangle) is Focused on Pattern-Breaking (Orcus). The root of the Challenge (base of the T-Square) is a Discussion (Opposition) between Insistence on Clarity and Coherence (Damocles) and a Debate Team consisting of Our Instincts (Moon), Our Fate and Our Choices (Moira), Our Fears and Our Power (Sedna), and The Matrix of Life (Altjira). That’s one Heavy Discussion! If you put your ear to the screen, you can pick up snippets of it. Yes, you have to use your Imagination. It takes a good deal of Practice to be able to Shut Down our a Priori Beliefs so we can hear what these Scholars are Asking one another, but What If We Did Hear What They Were Saying? That’s how my First Teacher taught us to Open up to our Intuition – Ask Ourself, What If We Did Know?

I’m fading, so I’ll have to continue this after a good long Nap. I’m way behind on my Correspondence, but I haven’t Forgotten!

The Truth about Accountability

I couldn’t help being struck by the Musk and Zuckerberg headlines this week while our most prominent Energy is about Fear of Accountability (asteroid Damocles) and Truth of the Mind (asteroid Veritas), both of which are Amplified (Stationary) in 14 November 2022, which means we’re in the thick of the Energy already. The Eclipse and the Moon Out of Bounds are still very relevant, but now The Truth about Accountability takes center stage, with two of the Least Accountable, and Most Loosey-Goosey with Truth, Captains of Industry strut their stuff. Musk digs a deeper hole with just about everyone daily, and Zuckerberg apologizes for what seems like the first time ever, and it’s not for his Always-Iffy Professional Performance, but for his first-ever declining Financial Performance. I couldn’t help but check their charts.

The Accountability Drama (Damocles Station) peaks at 27 Aquarius. Musk has his natal Trust symbol (asteroid Eurydike) there, and celebrated the great Mutual Trust between himself and his fans by declaring that he would send an army of his rabid not-quite-all-there Libertarian followers to raise havoc at the premises of any company that quit advertising on Twitter because they didn’t want their ads appearing next to Hate Speech and Violence. He condemned them as being “Against Free Speech” while failing to notice his own behavior being blatantly Against Free Choice. Obviously Hate ranks higher than Choice in his T.rumpian Values. Oh Wait! Maybe it’s Money.

The Truth Drama (Veritas Station) occurs in 21 Cancer. That’s where Musks natal Oath-Breaker symbol (dwarf planet Orcus) sits. The US Federal Trade Commission has made it clear that the “Consent Decrees” (negotiated contracts between the government and the company that promise improved performance in lieu of fines) that Musk has already violated “aren’t suggestions,” but legal requirements. He bellyaches righteously about loss of revenue now – wait’ll the FTC shuts Twitter down cold and/or fines the company (that is, Musk, since he and Twitter are now One) more billions.

Not Surprisingly, Zuckerberg has no natal planets near the Accountability Station – Accountability just ain’t his Forte. But you’ll never guess what he has under the Truth astroevent! Remember our Newly Discovered asteroid Ganesa, Remover of Obstacles? The Veritas Station sits right on Zuck’s natal Remover of Obstacles. No wonder he chops down all the Cherry Trees and Gets Away with it over and over again!

The Veritas Station is Strongest at 2:12 am PST (10:12 am GMT, 3:12 pm IST, 8:12 pm AEDT Qld), all on 14 November, while the Damocles Station Peaks at 7:07 am PST on the 14th (3:07 pm GMT 14th, 8:37 pm IST 14th, 1:07 am AEDT Qld 15th).

The Stations are close enough in Time and close enough in Degrees that they should be charted together, even though their respective 3-Degree Sensitivity spans barely overlap, so we end up stretching across 11 Degrees. And rather than try to find a Midpoint between Aquarius and Cancer, it makes more sense to chart the time when the Out of Bounds Moon crosses Veritas in 21 Cancer, even though that’s 16 hours before the Veritas Station, and most of a day prior to the Midpoint in Time between the two Stations. But since the Moon is most often the Trigger of What We Feel from the astroevent, so be it.

When we draw up that chart, it has only one Challenge/SuperPower, and it’s Fully Self-Resolving. It’s about Denial (the T-Square focuses on Eris), which really is a SuperPower, even though it’s more often an Insult. Remember that next time someone Accuses you of being In Denial – Flex your Muscles, Flap your Cape, and retort, “I Resemble that Remark, and I’m Proud of It!” Of course the Challenge and SuperPower could be about the Revelation of Denial instead, which is always a Consciousness-Expander. Why, even Musk and Zuck could have Epiphanies here! Nah, probably not. But ya never know.

Speaking of Moon Out of Bounds, even though we were ready for the “usual” (or at least “frequent”) 1000-point drop in the DJIA, we got a huge 1200-point FOMO Rally instead, as everyone Panicked to get into the Market before everyone else, after relatively good news about Inflation, implying that interest rates may moderate sooner than expected. You couldn’t even buy a CD longer than two years this afternoon, as everyone rushed to grab their higher yields while they still could. That’ll prove to be premature of course, but for now it is good news. After prices go up they never go back down, but at least they may not go up as fast now! Maybe.

The Moon will return In-Bounds at 8:11 pm PST 14 November (4:11 am GMT, 9:41 am IST, 2:11 pm AEDT Qld, all on the 15th), and by then the Truth about Accountability will be passé, Musk and Zuck and their genuflectors will revert to their old tricks, the Market could turn Bearish again, and we’ll move on to our next Portals, which will be Increased Awareness and Expansion (Mercury Out of Bounds, Jupiter Stationary) till 23 November, more Work on Abuse and Privilege (Nessus Stationary) till 27 November, and Finessing our Boundaries (Pallas Stationary) till 30 November.
