Survival or Bust V

Anybody notice how the Full Moons have been getting further and further toward overhead in the Northern Hemisphere, and (I assume, not being there to check) getting further and further toward the northern horizon in the Southern Hemisphere?

When a Heavenly Body moves further north than the Tropic of Cancer (23:27° N) and/or further south than the Tropic of Capricorn at (23:27° S) it’s said to be “Out of Bounds” or “OOB.”  Neither the Sun nor Jupiter ever go beyond those boundaries.  For instance, Venus was OOB from mid-November till yesterday (12 December 2019), and Mercury will be OOB between 23 December and 12 January.  We Feel a planet’s Energy more Strongly when it’s OOB.

The Moon has it’s own OOB program.  It goes OOB for a few days every two weeks for about a decade, and then stays “In Bounds” for the next decade or so.  Folks can be more Emotional during Moon OOB periods, like the one from 2001 through 2011.  The Moon started that OOB Decade on 11 September 2001, just about the time the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.  The next Moon OOB Decade begins at the Ides of March 2020.  This time it’s the Antichrist that’s attacking World Trade.  The Moon is a quarter of a Degree shy of the Tropic of Cancer as we speak.

Survival or Bust II

A review of where we’re at wouldn’t hurt.  Jupiter/Expansion is entering Capricorn/Just Fix It, and in the process crossing…

• Ixion/Forbidden Genius,
• Pholus/Ability to Respond,
• Quaoar/Survival Instincts

– another Wake-Up Call for the Climate Crisis that threatens the Planet’s relative stasis, not to mention likely triggering our individual and community Scarcity issues.  Oh, and questions about the Survival of Napoleonic government.

All that’s complexified by the simultaneous occurrence of three Initiations of new asteroid-dwarf planet Cycles.  Those Cycles, with all the Jupiter Action in their Initiation charts, will be helping to Implement the Survival-Expansion Energies.  Yes, we do Expect our Survival Energies to Expand – either to try to compensate for loss of old Opportunities, or to take advantage of new ones.  These new Cycles are…

• Dwarf planet Makemake/Manifestation Initiating asteroid Sappho/Self-Love, starting a new three-year Cycle.  This will bring us Opportunities to Shift our Survival Strategies from “Have To” to “Want To.”  Adding Passion like this will make our Survival Efforts much more Fun and much more Productive – Play rather than Work.

• Dwarf planet OR10/Intrusive Memories Initiating asteroid Eurydike/Trust, a 4½-year Cycle about our Relationship with our Personal History.  Where before our Memories of our past may have triggered Regret (missed Opportunities) or Anger (Abuse), now we’ll be Able to Choose to regard them instead as Opportunities to Heal.  If nothing else, we can start by Poor-Sweethearting ourself when Intrusive Memories arise.

• Dwarf planet Nessus/Abuse and Privilege Initiating asteroid Eurydike/Trust, a 4½-year Cycle about Finding Appropriate Boundaries for Abuse and Finding Gratitude and Abundance (Having Enough to Share) for Privilege, to Replace Anger and Terror around Abuse, and Denial and Greed around Privilege.

We introduced all these Energies in the first Survival of Bust post; https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2019/12/05/survival-or-bust/.  We promised in that post to supply the charts in this one…

♥ The Ixion-Jupiter Initiation occurred 21 November 2019 (noon PST) in 28 Sagittarius…

Notice the profound Symmetry, always a promising sign for Harmony.

♥ The 2 December (9:30 am PST) Ingress of Jupiter into Capricorn…

♥ The 9 December (1:30 am PST) Initiation of Jupiter by Pholus in 2 Capricorn, the 8 December (2:30 pm PST) Initiation of Eurydike by OR10 in 4 Pisces, and the 14 December (3:30 pm PST) Initiation of Jupiter by Quaoar in 3 Capricorn, drawn for 9 December…

The peak of the US Stock Market just prior to the 2007-09 Derivatives Crash, in October 2007, occurred within a few days of the previous Quaoar-Jupiter Initiation, 11 October 2007 in 16 Sagittarius.  Three Twentieth-Century Quaoar-Jupiter Initiations (out of eight) also occurred near major market turns, but these turns were all bottoms rather than tops, and the turns were several months (out of twelve years) removed from the Initiations.  These market bottoms were in October 1920, July 1932 (the low for the Century), and May 1982.

♥ The 10 December (8:30 pm PST) Initiation of Sappho by Makemake in 7 Libra…

♥ The 11 December (9pm PST) Full Moon in 20 Gemini…

Notice that while dwarf planet Eris/Revelation is not strictly within three Degrees of the Full Moon, it is within Sensitivity to asteroid Moira and the T-Square to Saturn-Venus-Pluto-Chariklo (hence drawn in with lighter red lines).  We’ll talk more about this soon, because the Saturn-Eris and Pluto-Eris Squares are Exact within a few days of the Uranus Station and Saturn-Pluto events of January 2020.

♥ The 18 December (6:30 am PST) Initiation of Eudydike by Nessus in 9 Pisces…

And just to keep us from Forgetting these Energies between now and January, the 21 December Capricorn Solstice and the 25 December New Moon Solar Eclipse occur in the same Degree Zone, the Eclipse bang on Jupiter-Pholus-Quaoar.  The Antichrist’s Denial of Climate Change may be what ultimately brings him down.

 

Abundance Breakthrough New Moon 2

Like last week’s Abuse-focused charts, the chart of the 26 November 2019 New Moon (7am PST) prominently features the Life Force (dwarf planet Varuna heading a Diamond Star and a Grand Trine), indicating an Opportunity for a Big Physical Healing…

The modern medical cartel considers a Physical symptom to be something wrong.  An alternative view is that a symptom is something right – the Body asking us for Attention.  Rather than suppressing the symptom, the alternative view Embraces it.  It’s similar with Held Emotions – rather than Denying or Avoiding them, we want to Celebrate their Emergence, and Embrace them.  While our Pain and Imbalance remain Unconscious, they Rule our Lives behind our back.  Once we bring them into Consciousness, we turn them into Choice.

Most folks consider the Physical and the Emotional to be different Realms.  They aren’t.  They’re different Perspectives on our Unitary Energy Body.  With Powerful suppression of Physical symptoms we can continue to Deny their Emotional aspect.  By Avoiding Held Emotions we often force an Imbalance into the Physical.  We can Respond to the Unitary Entity with Meditation.  We Focus our Attention, as much of it as we can muster, on the center of our Physical or Emotional Pain, and keep it there.  If it’s Emotion that first grabs our Attention, we start by Locating it in our Body, or in our Energy Field if it’s outside of our Physical Body.

We can approach the Pain with Neutrality, or we can Embrace it Lovingly, but the important thing is that we Eschew Judgment.  The fundamental Truth about Pain is that it identifies a part of our Body that craves our Love.  Love is Soft and Warm, and our usual Response to Pain is Hard and Cold – we usually try to seal it off.  When we Soften and Warm our Pain in our Body, Healing ensues.  This is the underlying principal behind Gary Craig’s Unseen Therapist work that he now advocates as an advancement beyond Tapping…

https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2019/01/06/instant-healing/

The Portal is Open for us to Learn this level of Self-Healing.  We can also apply it to situations outside ourself that need Healing, such as the Planet.

In addition to the Life-Force Self-Resolving Challenge (Diamond Star, Grand Trine, and also Grand Cross), the New Moon chart also sports a more serious Challenge, this one to our Survival, as individuals and as a species (T-Square to dwarf planets Quaoar/Survival, Pholus/Fully Responsive, Ceres/Sustainability, and Venus/Values).  The bottom line is about Actively Seeking Impediments to our Future Survival, and Taking Active Steps to Respond and Ameliorate them to increase our Resilience (Pholus).  In other words, any Pain we have now is pointing directly to whatever we’re Ignoring about our Future Survival.

With both the Life Force and Survival Lit Up Brightly for at least the next couple of weeks, we should be Paying Attention.

The Survival Challenge is about Letting Go Of any Habits we have that Resist Abundance (the base of the Quaoar et al T-Square is the Opposition between asteroid Atropos/Ending TimeLines and the Conjunction/Merger of asteroid Sappho/Self-Love and dwarf planet Makemake/Manifestation).  That would be a good place to put our Prayers and Intention (PIAVAs), such as something like “Great Spirit, may I please Open to my Intuition and Insight about any and all Resistance I have to Receiving More than I, and we, need to Survive Well.”  Our Soul is Eager to Whisper this to us (Finger of God to Sappho-Makemake from Uranus/Soul and dwarf planet OR10/Intrusive-Memories).

Our Survival Challenge is also not without Grace, from three sources (three Trine Bridges across the T-Square) – from Truth (asteroid Veritas Merged/Conjunct the New Moon), from Respect for All Things (asteroid Hopi), and from the Instincts of the Life Force itself (Varuna, which is Trined by the Moon/Instinct and the focus of a Finger of God from Quaoar et al and OR10).

All this occurs in the context of Confusion when we look at the World through Material Eyes, but Clarity when we look through Spiritual Eyes (Neptune Stationary, exact at 4:30 am PST 27 November).

We’re also Deep in the process of Reviewing whether What We’re in the Habit of Creating is Fully Self-Loving (the Sappho-Makemake Cycle is Deep in it’s Void Phase, just a few arcminutes and two weeks from Beginning a new Cycle).  “What We’re in the Habit of Creating” is the Soul’s view of “What Happens to Us” when the narrow Ego is Observing.  We’ll look at this more fully soon, but the New Sappho-Makemake Cycle Begins 10 December at 7 Libra, “A Woman feeding Chickens and protecting them from the Hawks.”  The Cycle that’s Ending is from September 2016 at 3 Libra, “The Dawn of a New Day reveals everything Changed.”  Even the Change of Sabian Symbols has us shifting from Victim (It Changed) to Responsibility (We are Nurturing and Shepherding our Survival Resources).

There are also Trust issues coming up that we’ll need to examine, as new Cycles begin around Trust and Memory on 10 December, and Trust and Abuse/Privilege on 18 December.

Abundance Breakthrough New Moon

The most important Energy that bathes us for the next several days is Neptune – Material Confusion but Spiritual Clarity (Neptune Stationary).  That Energy increases through 27 November 2019 (4:30 am PST) and then diminishes.  That’s probably more important to remember than anything else we say about the 26 November (7am PST) New Moon, because that’s the context in which the New Moon occurs, and it’s terribly relevant to the New Moon chart.

We also need to recognize that at 5 Sagittarius the New Moon occurs in the same Degree Zone as the Abuse Patterns that the last week has been Encouraging us to Terminate.  The New Moon sits in between the Degrees of the Invasive Memories (Stationary OR10, 21 Nov.) Energy and the Choosing to End Patterns We Don’t Like (Stationary Atropos, 22 Nov.) Energy that still linger from last week (they’re both still moving very slowly, even though they’re past their Stations).

Last week (till 22 November) we were using a dozen Degrees of Sensitivity (4-9 Degrees ±3) because there were three planets very Strong (Stationary) in that Zone at almost the same time, so we couldn’t Separate their Energies.  This week (till 27 November) we have only one event in this space (the Neptune Station is at 16 Degrees), the New Moon, so our Sensitivity is much less (5 Degrees ±3).  Thus, this week the whole Abuse and Privilege (Stationary Nessus, 21 Nov., at 9 Degrees) thing that we were working with last week, is technically over, though barely.  But if you aren’t finished Letting Go Of Abuse Memories – which could be yours or someone else’s – they’ll have a Big Impact on the New Moon Energy as well.

I don’t Believe anyone ever actually “finishes” Letting Go Of Abuse, we’re just Always In Recovery.  We get Conscious of it, we Honor and Embrace the Held Emotions as they arise, we gradually Accept that it was a Challenge that we Endured and Learned from, we Accept that we aren’t Alone and that it has been going on for Millennia to more people that we can Imagine, and even though we have made a Commitment that It Stops Here and look forward to a World Without It in 5D, we know that it’s unrealistic to Expect that Huperity will Change overnight.  Where there is Privilege there is Abuse.

We usually consider New and Full Moon Energies to be Strong for at least two weeks.  We’re about to say that the primary Challenge in the New Moon Energy is an Opportunity to Let Go Of our historical and herstorical Blocks to Abundance and Security (it’s more complicated than just this, but the New Moon chart features a T-Square to Pholus-Quaoar-Venus-Ceres from Atropos Opposite Sappho-Makemake, abetted by a Neptune-Station T-Square to the Moon from Neptune Opposite Orcus).  Remember that Abundance means Having Enough to Share.  This is Big, so Listen Closely.

To summarize, during the next few weeks we have to be Mindful to Focus on the Spiritual, not the Material (Neptune).  We have to Be Open to Possibly Painful Emotions, Fully Embrace them, and Be Willing to Let Them Go (Nessus et al).  We have to Let Go of Victimhood and Recognize that “We” (not our Current Ego, but some version of “Us”), on some long-forgotten occasion for some long-forgotten reason, “signed up” for it (Orcus), and take Full Responsibility (Pholus) for Changing it.  If that last part is odious to you, you’re reading the wrong blog.

Your best bet is undoubtedly to Meditate on What You Want, being careful to Focus on the Outcome you Want, while carefully Avoiding Focusing on the Methods or Mechanisms, especially Methods or Mechanisms that you think might produce What You Want.  You can’t Manifest Miracles in the Future while dwelling on what hasn’t worked in the Past.  It’s especially important to be Aware of when you’re Focusing on Beliefs that it’s not Possible, or that it will never Happen For You, and Interrupt those Negative Thoughts.  Do Ask yourself Who is telling you that and when those Thoughts started though, so you can Revert their Curse.

Abuse Week IV

A visiting Angel disguised as an electroblast from the Sun, over Norway…

https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=21&month=11&year=2019

We’re now deep in the grip of three separate “Stations,” or times when the influence of a planet is particularly Strong.  The three Stationary planets are

• Dwarf planet OR10, which doesn’t have an official name yet even after a dozen years since its discovery.  It’s about Intrusive Memories, generally (though not always) what we’re more Comfortable Forgetting.  21 November 2019 (noon PST) in 4 Pisces.

• Dwarf planet Nessus, which is about Abuse and Privilege.  Abuse occurs only when the Perp feels Privileged, which allows them to regard their Victim as Less Than in some way.  Does Abuse always follow from Privilege?  Not always, but if you want to Learn more about Abuse, start by looking at Privilege.  It might Ask you to reconsider your definition of Abuse – for instance, isn’t Homelessness a direct result of the Privilege embedded in our Culture’s Worship of Hoarding Wealth, which in turn is partially caused by the Abusiveness of our Culture’s Failure to Embrace Unconditional Community?  21 November (4:30 pm PST) in 9 Pisces.

• Asteroid Atropos, which is about the Ending of TimeLines, where a TimeLine can be a Lifetime, a Habit, a Relationship, a job, a place to Live, or any episode in one’s Life.  Atropos is especially active in Ending Karmic Patterns.  Most of us Experience Karma as if it was Fate, but if we can bring it into Consciousness, we can convert it to Choice instead.  22 November (2pm PST) in 7 Aries.

The Locations of the three Stations, only a few Degrees apart, and their Timing at only one day apart, tell us to Interpret all three as One Energy – we most likely won’t be able to Tell the three Energies apart.  Fortunately, the Energy is overwhelmingly Positive, so set your Intention that any Abuse Memories that arise Are Being Healed and Let Go Of (I avoid the term Release because I don’t want the Unconscious to think I want to Re-new my Lease).

The overall chart is Complex…

…so we’ll break it into more manageable chunks.  Even though it’s benevolent in this case, we’ll stick to our usual habit of starting with the Challenge (T-Square).  This first chunk, below, is not just Self-Resolving (Diamond Square), but also a Dumb-Luck Blessing (Grand Trine).  It’s all about the Life Force (Varuna). 

Since Hidden Emotional Gunk underlies most or possibly all Physical Discomfort, if we Allow our Abuse Memories (no matter how we Perceive them) to be about Letting Go, we’re likely to Manifest Significant and potentially Miraculous Physical Healing.  Also, since our Abuse of our Home Planet is the direct result of Denying the Life Force and Consciousness of Earth’s multifarious plenitudes of Non-Human and even Inanimate Denizens, we could see a major Tripping Point in Earth Repair as well…

Looks like a spaceship jetting toward Good Health and Vitality (Varuna), don’t it?

The second chunk is about a Huge Leap forward (Diamond Star and Grand Cross) in Grokking what we are actually Capable of Accomplishing (Moon-Juno-Makemake-Sappho) and Taking Responsibility for (Pholus-Quaoar-Ceres-South Node)…

Not to mention Abandoning our Victimhood (Atropos-Chiron Opposite the Makemake Stellium).

Which leaves the jumble below, the most coherent piece of which advises us that Facing the Truth about Abuse and Choosing otherwise would be an excellent road for us to follow (Finger of God to Aletheia-Veritas-Sun-Pallas, which Squares the OR10 and Nessus Stations)…

Plus the suggestion that, Evoking our Life Mission – without trying to Define It! (Quincunx) – will aid that process greatly (OR10-Nessus Square Aletheia Stellium Quincunx North Node Trine OR10-Nessus Tricolor).

A second suggestion also pops out – that we use Prayer or Intention or Intuition or other process of Focusing on our Desired Outcome (PIAVA – Quincunx) rather than Planning and Executing a Defined Methodology (PDSA or the equivalent) to determine the Actions we’ll take to Abandon our Victimhood (North Node Square Atropos-Chiron Quincunx Mars Trine North Node Tricolor).

Finally, we have a potentially Huge Blessing (Almost Grand-Sextile) which we can put into Action by simply Persisting in our Efforts, and Recognizing that our Journey is a Spiral – when we Return to a Place where we’ve been Before, it’s not an indication that we haven’t made progress, because in the interim We Have Changed.  So even if our Abuse Memories Feel as Painful as before, We Have Become More Conscious, and if we think about it for a moment we’ll Realize that we’re now able to Embrace our Wounded Self more Lovingly than before, and that is a Giant Leap forward (the Vacancy is 6 Virgo, “A merry-go-round”)!

If we can find the time, we’ll flesh these out more in subsequent posts…

Abuse Week III

20 November 2019’s Strong (Stationary) Mercury (11am PST) Energy (Analysis, Communication) features two prominent Challenges (T-Squares, the red triangles in the chart below).

One is the Challenge to Shed our Victimhood (asteroid Moira = Fate v Choice) and Codependence (dwarf planet Hylonome on the South Node on one side of the base of the T-Square), and Actively but Compassionately pursue our True Passions (North Node, in Cancer).

The other is to Boldly Create New Habits (T-Square to asteroid Klotho) to replace the Abuse and Privilege Patterns (dwarf planet Nessus on one side of the base) that we’re Shedding, which have heretofore followed us like hungry Coyotes.  To Facilitate this, we’re Graced (the T-Square is also a Diamond Star or Self-Resolving Challenge) with Insights (Moon) into the Vows and Agreements we have made (dwarf planet Orcus), over the course of many Lifetimes, that have exposed us to Abuse and Allowed Privilege to Flow to us.

If you’re forced to Surrender Privilege, Know that when the current door Closes, More and Better doors will Open.  We’re also Shedding Guilt here – see the Self-Abandonment Full Moon II post at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2019/11/13/self-abandonment-full-moon-ii/.  We can’t move into 5D if our Abundance is Shadowed by Guilt.  Here’s the Mercury Station chart…

There is tremendous Grace in this chart…

• The foci of the two T-Squares Trine one another.
• One T-Square is a Self-Resolving Diamond Star, the other has a Triple Trine Bridge.
• Each corner of each T-Square makes a Trine Bridge to the other T-Square.
• The Mercury Station itself forms a Water Grand Trine with Klotho and Nessus.
• The Grand Trine makes two Kites, leaving an Almost-Grand Sextile…

The almost-complete blue hexagram enfolding the entire chart (the Almost-Grand Sextile) is one of the more positive Blessings the planets can give us, with the Caveat that we have to take the first Step to Activate the Grace.  We do that by carefully Nurturing the Seeds we have planted – the New Patterns we adopt will need Repetitions to cement them into solid Habits, and we will need to Consciously Support them as they Grow (the Vacancy in the Almost-Grand Sextile is 11 Taurus, “A woman watering flowers in her garden”; the Vacancy shows the Energy that we have to provide to Start the Flow).

Abuse Week II

An excellent example of Abuse and Privilege on the national scale…

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/homeless/more-seattleites-are-housing-homeless-people-in-their-backyards-but-its-happening-slowly/

Abuse Week 1

Remember a while back when the symbol for Abuse and Privilege (dwarf planet Nessus) was crossing the symbol for Invasive Memories (dwarf planet OR10) and we were very busy Enduring, and hopefully, Letting Go of lots of old Abuse Memories?  (See https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/cycles/nessus-or10/.)  We get big-time flashbacks this week, as both of these dwarf planets are Strong (Stationary) on the same day again.  Fortunately, the symbol for Ending TimeLines (asteroid Atropos) is also Strong this week; that should help.  The schedule looks like this…

♥ Up until 11am PST 20 November 2019 – Mercury (Communication, Analysis) turns Direct at 12 Scorpio.  We usually pretty much ignore Mercury because a primary thesis of ours is that the more frequently astroevents recur, the more practice we have with them, and the more Routine is our Experience of them – and Mercury does most everything frequently.  But this event stands out because Mercury has been Dancing in Scorpio (Diving Deep to Get to the Bottom of Things) at the same time as the Truth Twins (asteroids Aletheia and Veritas) were Diving Deep.

The Mercury Station chart very much introduces Abuse Week, as the symbol for Abuse and Privilege (dwarf planet Nessus) and that for Making Emotional Decisions (the Moon Merged with dwarf planet Orcus) are Challenged (Squared) by the symbol for Beginning New TimeLines (asteroid Klotho).  Meanwhile our Lifetime Template (the Nodal Axis) is Challenged by the need to Confront our Fate (asteroid Moira) and our Codependence (dwarf planet Hylonome).

On the plus side of the ledger, there is Great Emotional Grace available to us (Mercury-Nessus-North Node Water Grand Trine).

♥ Up until noon PST 21 November, the symbol for Intrusive Memories (dwarf planet OR10) is Strong (Stationary) in 4 Pisces.

♥ Up until 4:30 pm PST 21 November, the symbol for Abuse and Privilege (dwarf planet Nessus) is Strong (Stationary) in 9 Pisces.

♥ Up until 2pm PST 22 November, the symbol for Ending Timelines (asteroid Atropos) is Strong (Stationary) at 7 Aries.

In addition to being close together in Time, these four Stations are all within a few Degrees of each other, at 4, 7, 9, and 12 Degrees.  That means we’re likely to Experience them as All One Event.  If we’ve been practicing at Becoming Conscious of our Karma so we can Choose Different Habits – as the astrology has been coaching us to do since at least the End of Time As We Know It and the Uranus-Pluto Square in 2012 – we can look forward to saying a final Goodbye to some old unpleasant Habits of being “in the wrong place at the wrong time” and getting Abused for it.

And if we’ve been practicing at Becoming Conscious of our Karma so we can Choose Different Habits, we can also look forward to getting Called Out on some old pleasant Habits of being in a position of Power and practicing Privilege.  Whenever you Exercise Privilege, someone else receives Abuse.

If we have NOT been practicing at Becoming Conscious of our Karma, we may well find ourselves in a “last straw” situation, “blowing up” at being Abused again, and finally setting a solid Boundary to prevent its recurrence.  Bravo!  May you be Bulletproof and Bullyproof!

And similarly, if we have NOT been practicing at Becoming Conscious of our “Good” (favorable to our Ego, that is) Karma or Privilege, we may find ourselves seriously shot down for Unconsciously Abusing someone.  These days that can have serious repercussions on our Reputation, Career, Relationships, and even Criminal Status.

For instance, the Billionaire Class is coming under fire for their Sociopathic Avarice these days.  Till recently they’ve been treated as if they were Gods.  The Occupy Movement and its Identification of the rest of us as “the 99%” was a necessary start, but you saw how quickly it faded into Obscurity.  This time may be more lasting.  Even some of the Billionaires are calling for a Jubilee.

Racism may be becoming more obvious as well.  A few years ago the media, the NFL, and the government conspired to take a protest against Open Season for the police to shoot to kill young black men, and Spin it into “disrespect for the flag.”  Masterful as PR, but unspeakably Evil as public or quasi-public policy, and as “journalism.”  Colin Kaepernick is becoming more visible again, with a public workout this last weekend.  Maybe there will be forward motion on Privilege and Abuse.

More on these themes and charts as the week progresses.

Self-Abandonment Full Moon II

I hope you didn’t blind yourself trying to see that well-advertised Mercury Transit Across the Sun.  These kinds of Transits get astronomers very excited, but astrologically I’m very nonplussed by them.  Here’s a view that won’t blind you…

http://sdowww.lmsal.com/sdomedia/h264/2019/11/11/SSW_cutout_20191111T1215-20191111T1300_AIA_304-193-171_-96050.mov

That’s courtesy https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=12&month=11&year=2019.

♥ Here’s a newsy article on Negative Self-Talk that’s quite relevant to the 12 November 2019 Self-Abandonment Full Moon…

https://www.seattletimes.com/life/wellness/stop-negative-self-talk/

“Do you subscribe to the belief that verbally beating yourself up — whether in your head or in front of others — is the key to eating better, exercising more, losing weight and otherwise becoming a more “worthy” human?  In our diet-obsessed culture, there’s a pervasive idea that shaming ourselves about our perceived food failings and body inadequacies is motivating.  Well, it’s not…”

Which is of course true for everything else, not just nutrition.  New and Full Moon charts apply most strongly to the two weeks following the event.

With a Full Moon emphasizing Self-Criticism (https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2019/11/10/self-abandonment-full-moon/), we couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in Virgo, and it turned out to be busy.  Virgo is the Transition Sign between the peak of Self-Appreciation in Leo and the Discovery of Other in Libra.  Without Virgo tempering our Self-Appreciation, Libra would be a battleground of Egos Demanding Recognition.  So the major theme of Virgo is Ego Death.  But Ego Death is not a familiar concept to most people – many people don’t even seem to realize that they are several Entities apart from their Ego.

And is asteroid Nemesis, which itself symbolizes Ego Death, still in Libra?  Yes, it is, and not only that, it’s recently been Initiated by dwarf planet Orcus.  That means we’ve recently begun (31 October 2019, 4:30 pm PST) a new five-year Nemesis-Orcus Cycle.  Orcus is the Enforcer of Promises, Vows, Oaths, and Decisions, which too often morph into Limiting Beliefs and too often become Karmic or Unconscious.  Letting Go of a Limiting Belief usually requires an Ego Death, because to do so we need to Face Down the Enforcer in order to Revert the original Vow.

The new Cycle began at 12 Virgo, “After the wedding, the groom snatches the veil away from his bride” – abruptly shattering the Bride’s Egoic Mask.  The Bride is a symbol for Psychological Integration, so the Degree asks for an end to guile, though as is the wont for Male Energy, in it’s violent guise it’s unlikely to succeed.

The chart of the Initiation is a tremendous Double Blessing (a double Diamond Star, or two Self-Resolving Challenges).  Orcus is about Making and Breaking Patterns or Habits, and can be a tough taskmaster.  But the two Poles of the Double Blessing are Ending Obsolete Timelines or Patterns (asteroid Asbolus) and Starting New Timelines (asteroid Klotho).  Not only that, but the Patterns up for Reversion are about Abuse and Privilege (dwarf planet Nessus), our Mission (the North Node), and Karmic Habits of Giving Away our Power (dwarf planet Hylonome Conjunct the South Node).

The chart…

If we’re talking about Patterns of Allowing ourselves to tolerate Negative Self-Talk, we also need to ask where asteroid Sappho, symbolizing Self-Love, is – and it’s in Virgo!  The themes in the Sappho chart for the time of the Orcus-Nemesis Initiation are many, and Powerful…

• Energies Flowing toward Compassionate Self-Sovereignty (Lilith in Pisces Opposite Sappho, at the Head of a Kite).
• Emphasis on the Creative Potential that lies beyond our Limiting Beliefs (dwarf planets Chaos/Unlimited Potential and Asbolus/Intuition in a Diamond Star on one corner of the Sappho Grand Cross).
• Powerful Expansion of Sustainability (Jupiter and asteroid Ceres on the fourth corner of the Sappho Grand Cross).
• A New Beginning emphasizing Compulsive Self-Respect and Tolerance like the Indigenous Foundational Principle we mentioned in the previous post (a Square from dwarf planet Haumea/Rebirth to Pluto, dwarf planet Chariklo/Self-Confidence, and asteroid Hopi/Respect for All Things, with Haumea at the focus of a Finger of God and Pluto et al in the foot of the Chaos Finger of God).
• An emphasis on Becoming Aware of and Revising Unconscious Beliefs (a Finger of God to asteroid Vesta/Beliefs from Haumea and Jupiter-Ceres).
• Solid Grounding (Sappho Grand Trine in Earth).

As our Chief Asteroid Officer used to say, “You can’t make this stuff up!”  The Blessings just keep Raining down on us.

The Sappho chart…

Self-Abandonment Full Moon

Well, that’s one option for the 12 November 2019 (5:30 am PST) Full Moon.  Hopefully we’ll Live it by Becoming Conscious of any Karmic Patterns we have to Give Our Power Away instead (the most likely hassle to accompany the Full Moon is a T-Square focused on Lilith/Self-Sovereignty and asteroid Karma/Karma). Trusting your Intuition will be Transformative (Finger of God to dwarf Planet Asbolus/Intuition, which Opposes asteroid Bee-Zed/Transcendence in the base of the T-Square).

The Full Moon itself is about Fear that we may Fail when we try to Change (asteroid Lachesis Opposite asteroid Eurydike) Negative Beliefs (asteroid Vesta) about ourself that Arise into our Awareness (Mercury) at this time.  It’s an unfounded Fear, as in this case the Challenge to our Ability to Change Karmic Habits is Self-Resolving (the Lachesis arm of the Full Moon Grand Cross is a Diamond Star).

A potential Bane is our Self-Doubt (Finger of God to dwarf planet Chariklo Conjunct Pluto), though I expect we’ll be Surprised at how quickly that Changes to Self-Confidence when we Let Go Of the Doubt.

The chart is less complicated than it looks…
