The three prominent Conjunctions in today’s Neptune Station chart…
♥Nemesis-Lachesis – Altering Ego Death Timelines. If we’re Conscious, we can do this. If we operate primarily from the Unconscious (as all but a very few of us do), then our Ego Deaths arrive on their own Karmic Timelines. Of course, we can still Recognize their imminent arrival and Respond to them Constructively (mostly by Enjoying the Feeling of Confusion or Anticipation that we get by focusing our Attention on the Unknown beyond the Ego Death, while Avoiding Expectations).
And if we are Conscious, to the extent that we’re Conscious around the Content-Field of our Ego Death (ie, it could be triggered by, say, Relationship, Scarcity, etc etc), Altering the Timelines may not be Easy. Since it’s an Ego Transition, the mind (whose Concept-Set and Limiting Beliefs anchor the Ego) may not be much help. Since we’re Dancing with the Unconscious (otherwise we’d just Experience it as a Shift rather than an Ego Death), PIAVAs are your tool of Choice.
Basically, the more you…
Have “Owned” your issues
Regard them as Education You have (on one level or several) Chosen when they Act Out, rather than Torture that Victimizes your Innocence
Are in the Habit of Actively Responding to their recurrence rather than Reacting to them
Have replaced Frustration and Analysis with Curiosity
…the Easier it will be for you to Alter the Timelines. Consider the Issue or Issues that arose for you over the last week. How do you stand relative to these criteria?
Of course our first Choice for Altering the Timelines of our Issues will be to Accelerate the Arrival of What We’ve Always Wanted and Pined for All Our Life. That’s called Attachment, and actually Discourages such Arrivals – you’re more likely to Alter your Timeline by slowing it down. It’s Neutrality that will Accelerate your Desires. I know, that’s Crazy-Making till we get there, but so be it. Till we do get there, Desire is a cousin to Addiction.
Go back the the list above. Or PIAVA. This would be an excellent place for our Theta-Tapping Strategy. Desire is Good, yes? But it can start to look like Expectation, which can cause us to jump at what looks like What We Want before we vet it thoroughly. If you’re good at saying “Oops” and “No,” you can dip your toe in a lot of different waters, then back out. That might be what you need to Learn. But the Theta-Tapping Process…
“God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, I Command that a Consistent and Joyful Income Stream that’s Ample Enough to Share Generously Be Manifested for me. It Is Done, It Is Done, It Is Done. Thank you, God/Goddess… (Deep Breath or two)… Show Me.”
Usually, if you have Conflicting Goals or Beliefs, you’ll start to feel a bit “off” long before you get to Show me, so you can stop and Tap anytime (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzVd6Ww0as4)…
“Even though I’ve never enjoyed a Consistent and Joyful Income Stream that’s Big Enough to Share Generously, I Deeply and Completely Love and Accept myself…” etc.
You could always say “Enough Money” as a shortcut, but since that’s an Oxymoron, according to a friend at least, you want to spell it out more carefully at first, till God/Goddess and your Meridians get the full idea of What You Really Want before you get glib.
Tap till you feel more Clear and Neutral about it, then go back and redo your Theta, stirring occasionally. Iterate as necessary.
Lachesis will Initiate Nemesis on 3 July at 11pm PDT in 21 Taurus, “A finger pointing to a line in an open book.” Interesting theme. It’s a 28-year Cycle, so it’s not trivial. My first thought is that the Open Book is our Authenticity, and the finger pointing to a line could be for now What We Really Want. That’ll Change often in 28 years of course, as it Evolves. With a 28-year Cycle we’re likely to spend the first seven years Clearing out old detritus that blocks our access to the Treasure.
But, even though the Essence of any Cycle goes underground after the Initiation, it’s very much Live at the Initiation, ie, Now. Especially with Makemake and Neptune Stationary and your Consciousness Wide Open to What’s Been Previously Denied. Makemake Stationary is a Magic Wand, and Neptune Stationary means that the Door to Heaven is Open if you can find it. So don’t waste any Energy on Doubt this week, especially with Thursday’s Solstice (at 0 Degrees of course) close enough to Makemake’s 3-Degree Station to keep it well Lit Up.
Aa apparent newcomer has written to ask about their many natal planets at around 20 Degrees, in response to our October 2016 suggestion that we begin working with these Degrees now, since they will be Lit Up when our Home Planet begins Her Big Reorg in the early 2020s – see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2016/10/20/2020-b/ for our article and their comment.
Of course, as we repeatedly point out, these Degrees continue to be Lit Up by many of our planetary Companions today. As we write, one quarter of the planets we follow are in or adjacent to this Zone, which is only one sixth of the Zodiac wide. It’s a useful question, so I’ll answer it…
Our approach is to intend to befriend the Unconscious because we Believe that the Power of the Ego is minuscule compared to the Power of the Unconscious, and because the Ego is usually Unconscious of that fact.
We also intend to work not with Qualities but with Energies and Relationships, and therefore we work mostly with what we call the “Angles,” though most astrologers would call them “Aspects.” We prefer Angles because that’s what they are in plain language – the Angular Relationship between Planets (and other astrological Hot Spots such as the Nodes).
Unfortunately there is an astrological term “Angles” as well, meaning the Ascendant, Midheaven, etc., or the major House Cusps. We can usually live with this ambiguity because we very seldom talk about Houses, since we write for the whole planet, and House positions vary with location. Folks who commonly use the astrological term “Angles” may be confused by the way we use the word, alas.
Most astrologers I know would not argue that the T-Square (a third planet halfway between two planets that Oppose one another) is one of the most problematic Angular Relationships, largely because it usually seems to indicate a Sisyphean area where Success is not possible but the Compulsion to Keep Trying is unrelenting. Consequently, the most appropriate keyword for the Ego’s Relationship to a T-Square seems to be Frustration.
We also Believe that, (1) on a Soul level, we Chose the Configurations of planets in our natal chart, because that’s what “We” (our Soul) wanted to “Work On” in the current Lifetime. Many folks have difficulty with this concept; the easy path to it lies through shifting your Identity till you find a place from which it’s True.
We often also interpret the Configurations in our natal chart as (2) the specific Earth Energies where we Chose to help the Planet Heal.
The first approach assumes that our Soul is using the Planet for its own Education, while the second approach assumes that we are in fact Cosmic Healers who came here to Help Earth Ascend. Take your pick, though as usual, I recommend Both/And rather than Either/Or.
Since our reader has Uranus T-Square to their Nodes, I have no doubt that they’re in the latter category.
As Ascension Helpers, then, our T-Squares indicate the places where our task is to suck up all the Frustration (Fear, Anger, Despair, Separation, etc) that the Planet Feels, and Transform it (we are after all nothing if not Energy Transmogrifiers) into what the Planet Prefers to Feel (Joy, Bliss, Attunement, Excitement, Unity, etc).
How do we know what the Planet Prefers to Feel? Easy. She and We are One.
Note that more or less implicit in that paragraph is that Emotions are not Personal, but more like Weather or a Virus. We Attach our Identity to an Emotion when we Associate or Merge with it, which is usually part of our Karma, or, we would suggest, because we came here to Learn and Teach how to Detach our Identity from that Emotion (look up “Poor-Sweetheart” and “Held Emotions” in the Categories list to explore further).
So, in the planets our new Friend has listed, we’d go straight to the T-Square, Uranus Square the Nodal Axis. The Egoic side of Uranus is Disruption, and the Egoic side of the Nodes is the Desire to Let Go of Karma. So we would suppose that our Friend, on the Ego side, is (or was, if he’s since Grown) often Frustrated by Attempting and Failing to Let Go of sticky Karmic Patterns, or what we often call Self-Sabotaging Archetypes.
For instance, our Friend might try over and over to walk a “straight and narrow” path, only to wake up and discover that they’ve strayed from it. Or worse, they might find that other people are repeatedly screwing them over…
Now, let’s turn this around and look at it from the Soul’s Perspective. First of all, what Uranus Disrupts is everything that Inhibits its Purpose.
Since most of us were Programmed to Receive Truth from Outside ourself rather than Inside, the Karmic Ego will be constantly Frustrated by the Uranian Disruption of our frequent Attempts to ignore our own Internal Truth in order to be Loyal to our Programming and Programmers.
Truth resides in the Heart, and it’s Different for everyone, so only by Programming someone to Trust their own Heart (Uranus) can Uranian Disruption be Loved as the Urge to Liberation that it is.
Now, again from the Soul’s Perspective, the Nodal Axis is not so much about the Desire to Let Go of Karma as it’s about a Decision over which Earthly trends to emphasize. Contrary to the usual Interpretation, Karma does not Grasp Us, We Grasp It. So all we have to do, to quote Paul, is to “Let It Be.”
The Signs will give us more specific information. Our new Friend’s South Node is in Aquarius and North Node in Leo, indicating that their Intended (Soul-level) path runs from Social to Personal Integrity. Learning to Love themselves Unconditionally, for instance.
Meanwhile, Uranus is in Scorpio, which is Fearless and Relentless. So our Friend is likely to be Driven to stop at Nothing in their Effort to Learn and Teach Unconditional Self-Love.
Which is Fantastic! Now, what if the Ego and Programming still get in the way and continue to Sabotage us with Downers? (Which may never actually go away, just become more quickly seen through.) Well, Reframing help a whole lot…
A T-Square Feels Like the Compulsive need to Achieve greater Perfection around some Goal. In this Uranus-in-Scorpio case, that would be Permanent Soul Contact. Or, if the Soul is Dismissed, then something like an Irrepressible Urge to Disrupt Untruth.
But even the part about Permanent Soul Contact is the Ego and Programming speaking. If you’ve taken graduate seminars in a good program, you probably Noticed that there are no “correct” answers, there are only “interesting” questions and examination of them that is thorough and creative.
That’s where you find the T-Square – on the Soul level you’ve Intended a Lifetime where you re-examine everything over and over again, with slight variations, each time from a slightly different Perspective, so you become uniquely qualified to Teach the subject, since you’ve Experienced it from all angles, inside and out.
And of course the key to all that is Noticing that there are no “correct” answers and that your Perfectionist Quest, while essential, was not for the purpose that you earlier supposed. That’s the way our Mission (North Node) operates – we have a Shadow to Pursue, till we pounce on it and Discover that it’s just a Shadow, like Ged in Earthsea.
Once you’ve done this Reframing, Frustration will continue to try to sneak back into the driver’s seat, and that’s where Poor-Sweethearting, Tapping, and PIAVAing (look them up in the Categories list and practice them) will be useful and Powerful.
The ultimate Goal for all of us is Unconditional Self-Love, so eventually you’ll be Teaching us all. Which we eagerly anticipate!
“We have an understanding of this universe that gives us the ability to coexist within it with beings who are not of service to the greatest and highest good of all. We understand that the universe that we live in with you is about duality and polarity, and therefore we can accept that there will always be dark forces in this universe.
“Now, once we came to accept this truth about the universe, we were able to let go. We were able to let go of any need or desire to eliminate or even punish those dark forces. We know that there is so much more power in the light, and we also know that any being who wants to remain in the light must be focused on the light. In other words, the light must let go of any preoccupation with the dark in this universe in order to fully be the light.
“And so that has been our journey, and we are here now to suggest that it be your journey as well. Part of your journey is becoming aware of the darkness, and we know that once you awaken it becomes impossible to ignore that darkness. The next step is acceptance, and finally you let go of your attachment. You let go of the attachment to a need to be right.
“Only a being who feels the need to be right would want to continue to focus on what is wrong or what is lying in the shadows. We would much rather see you encouraging more people to come to the light in order to free themselves from the bondage of that preoccupation with the dark. You can do this in your own lives, and you can encourage others to do it by setting your example and by holding space for them, but ultimately the darkness must always remain as a choice.
“Once you allow that choice to be, you can still choose the light, and we know that if you are listening to or reading this message, you are choosing the light.”
Of course Light and Dark, and Good and Notsomuch, are just more Dualities. Signposts on the road. If possible we don’t want to make them into Ideals to Identify with – that would just make more Archetypes. But if we can Choose Light and Good and Neutrality somehow, Letting Go of Judgment, then maybe we can start scraping off our patina of Light and Good and start getting down to what’s underneath.
Vedic astrology has a tendency to Believe it does have a monopoly on Truth. If it provides Perspective that is useful to you, then, as with any Perspective, by all means use it. The more Lenses we have to see the World through, the closer we are to actually participating in Reality rather than our own Projections. When any Perspective strikes Fear, though, we need to Tap Out the Fear before we use the Perspective. If a Perspective is good for nothing more than bringing Unconscious Fear into Consciousness where you can Love it to Death, then it’s a very Powerful Perspective for you. Alternatively, with a technique like Theta Healing, where the Outcome is immediately available to us, we can modify our Command until we find one that works, or alternate Theta and Tapping.
The root of the monopoly tendency in Vedic astrology is Religious Politics. Simply put, if it’s Either/Or it’s Political. If it’s Both/And, it’s Spiritual. We make no claim that this is an absolute Truth, but we suggest strongly that it’s a very Reliable First Approximation and a very Useful Perspective. Vedic astrology supported Political Hinduism, as distinct from Esoteric Hinduism. Political Hinduism supported ongoing Abuse of the Dalit or Harijan caste just as Political Christianity supported ongoing Slavery and Abuse of Primary Cultures everywhere they were encountered. Certainty is a Tool of Political Agendas.
We look at it this way. Hinduism is frequently accused of promoting Fatalism, and Political Hinduism certainly appears to. As with most Religions, I don’t believe that Esoteric Hinduism does promote Fatalism. Fate and Free Will are usually seen as an Either/Or, so as with any Duality, we Know that this is a 3D Veil attempting to obscure the Both/And, Multifarious and Unitary Reality on the Other Side.
The difference between Fate and Free Will is that our Fate is what befalls us when we’re Captives of the Karmic and Generational and Social Archetypes that we usually refer to as our Limiting Beliefs. Free Will is what we Obtain when we step outside of the Limited Reality of the these Archetypes. Even the “Laws” of Physics are simply Archetypes, Projections of the Ego’s need for Stasis and the mind’s need for the Illusion of Understanding. If you’ve ever had a Wannabe Guru Manifest in your bedroom in a pillar of shimmering colored pinpricks of light like on Star Trek, you’d understand this. Or Channeled an Antarean, or met a Walk-In, or Encountered one of your Doubles.
To me Growth in Consciousness (which means Freeing yourself from some Archetype), which usually requires an Ego Death of some sort, is not about Discovery, but about Differentiation. We See or Feel more layers of Reality when we start noticing that there are Trees in the Forest, Trees of different Colors, Trees that have Birds and Bears in them, Birds and Bear that may be different from one another and that eat different Foods, etc etc. There is no better way to Illuminate an Archetype or Assumption that we’ve wrapped our Limited view of Reality around, than for it suddenly to disappear.
Would we notice if suddenly all the Birch Trees disappeared from the Forest? We might only notice that something had Changed. But if they reappeared while we were pondering what it was that Changed, then suddenly our Consciousness would have a whole new Perspective on Birch Trees. This is precisely what happens during an Eclipse; that which we Assume is Constant blinks off for a short time, then returns to its former Glory. And we’re talking about the Sun, which Symbolizes our Essence. Hence we consider Eclipses to be about Illumination, and that’s precisely what they are.
Remember that in the Unconscious there is no Negation. When you Pray for No War, you’re most likely to get War, because the Unconscious does not have a No in its vocabulary. As we usually put it, astrology and the Unconscious determine Dimension, but not Direction. The Cat may still be Alive or Not. Eclipse is the Absence of Light, as Fear is the Absence of Love. The Dimensions in those statements are Light and Love. The Direction – Absence or Presence – is a Political Decision by the Ego, by yourself.
When you make a Decision to Choose Light and Love rather than Absence on any Issue in your Life, you threaten theKarmic or Family or Cultural Archetype that would keep you in Scarcity, with Fire and Fury like the World has never known. So guess what the Archetype does in return? It threatens to surround your Ego with Missiles, while its Ally the Ego warns you to seek cover and “not” to look at the flash. As if you would have time for anything approaching that. Ego and Archetype are one and the same.
Hence we always recommend adding “Lovingly and Gently and Rapidly and Completely” to our PIAVAs.
PIAVAs directly address the Unconscious. The Unconscious is in Charge, and one of its “Rules” is that no Prayer goes unanswered – that’s just a Perspective, but we suggest strongly that it’s a Reliable First Approximation and a Useful Perspective. Use it as a filter to Examine your Life. Every Negative thought you have is a Prayer. Every Victim Emotion that you have is a Prayer. Your Prayers specify the Dimension, and your Negativity and Victimhood specify the Direction. Thoughts and Emotions are self-reinforcing, and their Negativity and Victimhood reinforce each other. Your Negative thoughts and Victim Emotions are generated by your Archetypes.
When you PIAVA something and you’re ready to Receive it, the Universe will deliver it, just like Amazon or Taobao. When you aren’t ready to Receive it, what the Universe will deliver, when you see the Universe through a Benevolent Lens, is Illustration of Why You Haven’t Been Manifesting That All Along. That often looks like the Opposite of what you Asked for – the same principle as an Eclipse; often the fastest way to get you to Notice something that you’ve been taking for granted, is to Remove it.
There are some things which you have always been Abundant in. Your Archetypes support your Ego in those arenas. There are other things that have always been Difficult for you. Those Define your Self-Sabotaging Archetypes.Jane Roberts’s (Seth’s) The Nature of Personal Reality is an excellent exposition of this Lens.
Your thoughts and Emotions are not beyond your Control. Your Ego can Choose to Intervene and Change the Direction. It may take years of Persistence to shut down a strong Archetype, but never consider it Impossible. You can PIAVA Assistance in Changing the Direction of the Archetype from Scarcity to Abundance – or vice versa for Abuse, though you’re better off Asking for Respect and Inviolate Boundaries, or whatever it is that you Want, rather than Asking for what you Don’t Want.
In Real Life this is an Either/Or Universe. Fate is still going on. If your Fate is to be Rich and Famous and Irresistible, then you may not want to Change it – though “Good” Karma is said to be harder to Change than “Bad” Karma, so when you start to get tired of being Rich and Famous and Irresistible, you may want to PIAVA Choice. You may want to Choose Rich and Famous and Irresistible on Tuesdays and Fridays, Happy and Private on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and Surprised on Saturdays and Sundays and Mondays – but even that is an Archetype that will be Obsolete soon.
There isn’t much difference between Attention and Intention. If your Attention is always on Negativity and Scarcity, whether in thought or Emotion, the Unconscious will consider that your Intention, and Manifest it for you. Your Attention is under your Control. You may have a nasty Habit of Focusing on your Negative thoughts and Bummer Emotions, and it may take a lot of Work to Change the Habit, but it is doable. The Key is Noticing and Congratulating.
Rather than beating yourself up when you Notice that you’re Unconsciously indulging your Negativity, Congratulate yourself for Noticing. You’re substituting Positive Reinforcement for Negative Reinforcement, and the more often you do this, the easier it becomes. You’ll be surprised at how Effective this simple step is; Congratulate yourself for Noticing that you’re Repeating an undesired Habit, rather than cursing yourself for Repeating the Habit.
This particular Eclipse occurs while Mercury is Retrograde, and the Vedic Eclipse interpretation we linked to at the beginning of this article reads much like the average Western astrology’s interpretation of Mercury Retrograde. Our approach to Retrogradations is the same as our approach to Eclipses. But rather than Demanifestation of something routine, a Retrogradation may encourage Obsession on it – not a matter of Dimension, just a matter of Direction, so absolutely available to be Changed by the Ego with PIAVAs and Persistence.
I usually find Retrogrades to be more Contemplative than Obsessive, but the same Energies apply – Contemplate What you Want, not What you Don’t Want. If you’re particularly Skilled at Obsession, Obsess on What you Want, not on What you don’t Want. We’ve already talked about Obsession and Changing the Subject, an important step in PIAVAing…
If you can’t shake Negative Energy while you’re trying to Focus on What You Want, Tap it Out. Be sure to measure the Intensity of the Energy before and after Tapping, and Recognize that you may need to Iterate, and even alternate with other forms of PIAVAing. Persistence counts.
The dwarf planet that deals with our Unlimited Potential is Chaos, which is in the Air Grand Trine and Dynamic Grand Sextile of the recent Full Moon; see the previous post. It’s joined in the Grand Trine by Haumea/Rebirth and South Node/Karma, but the other three, Fire, points in the Grand Sextile are North Node/Mission and Purpose, Eris/Revelation of Denial, and Lilith-Saturn-Ixion-Pholus/In Order to Achieve Self-Sovereignty the Most Important Thing is that we Become Responsible to our Unique and Probably Forbidden Genius.
The dwarf planet and Centaur Hylonome deals with Letting Go of Archetypes, and the asteroid Juno deals with the Edges of Consciousness. It’s no Coincidence that they’re Conjunct as we speak. Hylonome Initiated Juno in February 2017, starting a new 9-year Cycle at 8 Capricorn, “In a Sun-lit home domestic birds sing joyously.” We’re in the middle of the Exposition (which actually peaked 28 July). The Confidence-Builder occurs at the September Equinox.
As we said last time, things haven’t felt very satisfying or stable the last several days, as Jupiter Squares Pluto, amplified by the impending 7 August Full-Moon Partial Eclipse, prelude to the 21 August Big One. The Jupiter-Pluto Cycle is about Expanding our Transformation, and the two Squares in the Cycle are about being Challenged to Master the next stage of our Transmogrification.
Remember that Pluto astroevents are like floating down a big River. You can hear the roar of the rapids ahead and you can steer to one bank or the other to portage around them, but if you try to paddle upstream you’ll just get swept backwards over the falls. So Resistance is not only futile, it’s Self-Destructive. Go with the Flow.
Of the two Squares in any Cycle (when the two planets are three Signs apart), the first or Waxing Square is about being Challenged to Let Go of the dregs of the previous Cycle and fully Commit to the present one. The second or Waning Square is about Letting Go of any Attachment you’ve made to the current Cycle, because the Energies of the current Cycle are disintegrating. Think Barnes & Noble, post-Amazon.
So, what are we Letting Go of – what’s the Current Cycle about? It was Initiated 12 December 2007 at 29 Sagittarius, “A fat boy mowing the lawn of his house on an elegant suburban street.” Always a puzzling Symbol. Rudhyar’s interpretation seems oriented toward Materialism, Ego, and Status-Quo; he sometimes did that. Sagittarius is itself about Letting Go, Spiritual Fire, burning away what’s Obsolete, before we start over on version 4.0 with a whole new Grounding, and the last Degree of Sagittarius should be a final big Catharsis.
So the Symbol is Antonymous. Being Non-Dual, the Unconscious Loves tko be Antonymous. That’s why She has a reputation as a Trickster. So what means it? Well, the “elegant” neighborhood tells us we’re dealing with Materiality and probably Ego-Attachment. Elsie Channeled these Symbols in the 1930s, so the boy’s heft is probably not a symptom of the modern Salt- and Sugar- and Chemical-laden microwaved synthetic GMO diet, but simply to Over-Indulgence. Of course it could be genetic; the boy may be on his way to becoming the fastest Offensive Lineman in the NFL, but I don’t think the adjective “fat” would be the most apt word to describe that.
The “fat” conflicts with “mowing,” as we’re used to associating fat with inactivity. So it’s easy to imagine the lad sweating and grumbling to himself. Perhaps it’s a punishment – if he did it frequently he’d probably weigh less. Every time I see that Symbol I can’t help but think of J.R. Simplot’s house in Boise, which is perched on top of a small hillock, 30-40 feet above the elegant suburban street, surrounded by lawn on the slopes, which seem not so far from vertical. Boise is hot in the summer, when grass grows, so this kid is unlikely to make it through even one mowing without hospitalization.
Now, if we add to this image the fact that since 2007 we’ve seen a vast reorganization of modern Life, the Symbol smacks of the need for Sustainability. Sustainability and Sustenance are really the same thing, and they imply Letting Go of the Unnecessary. What it reminds me of is the ongoing Pholus-Quaoar-Galactic Center Stellium, which in no uncertain terms reminds us that we’re Responsible for the Survival of the Planet.
So Bottom Line, this Jupiter-Pluto Cycle is about Letting Go of our Materialism, and the Waning Square of the Cycle is about Stepping Away from that Letting Go. The nature of a Waning Square is that we don’t know what comes next. Our Assignment is to clear away all Expectations so we can be Open to the next Cycle without preconceptions. If we knew what the next Cycle was about, we’d contaminate it by viewing it through the eyes of the old Cycle. In other words, our Transformation is no longer about Letting Go of Attachment to Materialism. It’s about Curiosity and Wonder.
The Waning Square was Exact at half-past 10am PDT on 4 August. When outer planets make Angles to one another, they often do it three or more times, which gives us Opportunities to practice. This is the third time Jupiter has Squared Pluto. We call the third time a “Confidence-Builder” event, because by now we’ve had our practice. The first Waning Square was 24 November 2016; we call that the “Can-Opener” because if we don’t do astrology, we’re usually caught off guard by the abrupt shift in Energy.
So if you have a journal you can look to see what sort of Experiences you Enjoyed (or otherwise), internally and externally, Circumstances and Reactions, last mid-November, as the Energy was intensifying. If you don’t have a journal you can look back to https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2016/11/26/the-thousand-vignettes/ and the several posts preceding it. It was a very busy time.
The second Waning Square is usually when the faster planet is Retrograde, so we Experience the same Energies less Dramatically, giving us time and space to Learn more about them. We call this second recurrence an “Exposition” because it Exposes more information about what’s going on. Whatever we didn’t resolve at the Can-Opener (when we’re often Overwhelmed by the new Energy) or at the Exposition, will be Lit Up now, at the Confidence-Builder.
It’s mop-up time around Materialism and Ego-Attachment to it. There’s a big White House on the east coast of the US where all that’s being Acted Our for us in Real Time on Reality TV. With a fat boy mowing the greens of his elegant suburban golf course even.
