A Gift from the Heavens 2½

The curse of astrology – while the Present Moment only takes an Instant, astrology has so much to say about It that one is always way behind, with no hope of ever catching up! We could belabor a Future Present Moment, but that’s not the same. The Illuminating Insights aren’t there, like they are when you’re reading the Present Present Moment. We still haven’t finished the Saturn-Venus Initiation, or done justice to the Uranus Station. And in the process, several People have slipped through the cracks, such as…

I think we mentioned the 11 January 2023 Station of Eris (Revelation of what’s been Denied ) but I don’t think we had time to say much more about it. When our aim is to ferret out Unconscious Karma, Eris is damn Important. It was in 24 Aries, Fully Engaged with the Flow of the Present Moment, to the Extent that We Wonder If We Have any Separate Identity. (I didn’t know that while writing the previous paragraph! No wonder – my natal Hylonome [Codependence] Lives there! Curious!) 24 Aries is the Home of the Star Achernar, Fast-Occurring Events like Flood or Fire, Demanding Immediate Attention.

Given the astrological circumstances and my own recent Experience, I’d guess that the Station might indicate that Karma associated with such Events might be Triggering your Potentially-Traumatic Memory of them. For me these aren’t like Floods or Fires, but Opportunities Lost because I was too Focused on Repressing my Reactions to the Expectation of more Trauma. Rather than Ruing what actually occurred, Imagine recording a video of the Most Delightful Outcome Imaginable, as your Template for Next Time. This is part of the Venus-Saturn Cycle’s Honing our Inner Witness in order to (1) Become more Aware of our Expiring Relationship Karma, (2) Take Ownership of it, and (3) Heal it (see previous post).

More recently, the Uranus Station and Saturn-Venus Initiation occupied my Attention so much that I let slide several other important events from 19-22 January…

Moira (Fate and Choice) – which is Critical to whether we even Believe that it’s Possible to Root Out our Karma – Stood Still 19-20 January (PST 6:54 pm 19th, GMT 2:54 am 20th, IST 8:24 am 20th, AEDT Qld 12:54 pm 20th), in 29 Taurus (Full Self-Expression without Ego-Attachment). It’s not so bad that we temporarily ignored that, because the New Moon says more about its following few weeks than it does about its Present Moment, and the Moira Station occurred very close to the…

New Moon (Change of Scenery) 21-22 January (PST 12:59 pm 21st, GMT 8:59 pm 21st, IST 2:29 am 22nd, AEDT Qld 6:59 am 22nd), in 2 Aquarius (Deeply in Tune with Mother Earth, but Unconsciously, and Carrying this Contagious Energy for Others to Unconsciously Imitate), Channeling the Fixed Star Altair (Boldness, Courage, and Compassion Combined). Another Gift!

And, there on the Cusps between the Moira Station and the New Moon, there were a couple of Sign Changes late last week…

Lachesis (Karma that is Unexpired, but which We Can Choose to Let Go Of ) moved into Pisces (Finishing Processing of Emotional Baggage from Many Lifetimes) on 20 January (PST 4:37 am, GMT 12:37 pm, IST 6:07 pm, AEDT Qld 10:37 pm). The Last Degree of Aquarius is about Channeling the Light into Earthly Grace with Total Presence and Total Detachment. The first Degree of Pisces is (Lonsdale, p.372) “Present to our own personal soul in the midst of life is an achievement. It’s something to live for. It’s the one thing we cannot do without.” Our Held Emotions prevent that, and Letting Go of Held Emotions is Exactly what Pisces is about. Of course that Requires Experiencing them, even though We’d Rather Die than Feel Them. Mother Teresa had the Great Gift of being Able to Be Fully Present with People while they were in their worst Anguish, exactly when someone’s Presence is Most Healing, yet She was able to do that without taking the Anguish Home with Her, because She had finished Her Pisces Work. Lachesis is in Pisces till the Ides of April.

Sappho (Unconditional Self-Love) backs into Leo (Self-Appreciation) 20-21 January (PST 8:07 pm 20th, GMT 4:07 am 21st, IST 9:37 am 21st, AEDT Qld 2:07 pm 21st). That will be a Relief, since Virgo, where Sappho’s been since 26 November 2022, is all about Ego Death. Yes, all of our Olde Egos that Put Conditions on our Self-Love, need to be Upgraded. It’s just not the most Fun thing we do, till we Train ourself to Recognize the signs of Ego Death, Appreciate that we’re in the Process of Letting Go of our Unconscious Limitations, and Focus on how much Greater our Life will be Without them. We won’t have any idea What our Life will be like afterwards, but we do know that it will be as Glorious as when a Brutal Storm Clears Away and just when we’d Forgotten that the Sun was still there behind the Dark Clouds, It Shines so Brightly on a Newly Washed Earth that it Takes our Breath Away.

Finally, the Moon returned In Bounds from its Southerly Adventures on 21-22 January (PST 8:52 pm 21st, GMT 4:52 am 22nd, IST 10:22 am 22nd, AEDT Qld 2:52 pm 22nd), and remains In Bounds till 30-31 January (PST 11:17 am 30th, GMT 7:17 pm 30th, IST 12:47 am 31st, AEDT Qld 5:17 am 31st). The US Federal Reserve Board meets 31 January and 1 February, so if you mess around on Wall Street, your Risk goes way up after 28 January.
