Deja Vu All Over Again 4

Continuing where we left off in the previous post…

21-23 of the Fixed Signs

Finally, on 21 May Tantalus Stood Still in 23 Aquarius, and that Degree Zone will be revisited on 30 May…

5/30

Uranus (Our Individual Soul) Initiates Vesta (Our Unconscious Limiting Beliefs) in 21 Taurus (Adept of the Mysteries), Beginning a 4-Year Cycle on Bringing Our Limiting Beliefs into Consciousness so We Can Stretch Them; UT 18:50 (PDT 11:50 am 30th, BST 7:50 pm 30th, IST 12:20 am 31st, AEST 4:50 am 31st)

Three Good-Sized Challenges here (a Creative and a Stabilizing T-Square and a Naked Square in the Changing Signs), which is appropriate since Stretching our Limiting Beliefs often involves Ego Death and even Held Emotions. Sometimes Insight does the job with far less Sturm und Drang – let’s check to see if any Epiphanies are available…¹

¹ We associate Trioctiles (a Square-and-a-half or 135 Degrees) with Insight, as they combine the Eighth (Adjustment) and Third (Love with Wisdom) Harmonics. Put a third planet at the far midpoint from a Square, and you have a Trioctile Yod, which, to the folks who still regard themselves as Victims of their Squares and “Semi-Squares” (Octiles), might be called a Middle Finger of the Goddess (they actually call it a “Hammer of Thor”).

To the contrary, we consider a Trioctile Yod to symbolize Epiphany, since we’re Resolving a Square with a matched pair of Insightful Trioctiles. Believing the name Hammer of Thor to be loaded with Baggage about Ultimate Destruction, we prefer a new name. We often use Mjölnir, although it’s just the Norwegian name for the Hammer of Thor. We could also use Vajra, the Hindu name for the weapon preferred by Indra, chief of the Gods in many sects.

They have the same Mythic roots. The Vajra combines Irresistible Force (Lightning) with Indestructibility (Diamond). If we assume that the Mythic is more about Ego Death than Physical Violence – which is an easily defensible assumption – then the Indestructible Diamond is Spiritual Truth and the Irresistible Lightning is Illumination, and what is Destroyed is Karmic Naivete. Hence, Epiphany, as sudden as Lightning.

Aha, we do have Epiphanies to our Naked Square, and to one half of the Challenge to our Creativity.

The first Challenge, in the Stabilizing Signs – the Difficulty which Threatens our Soul’s Infusion into our Unconscious Beliefs (Uranus-Juno) – is the Interplay (Opposition) between Burnout from the continuing Effort Required (Icarus-Tantalus OOB), and Pride in our Manifestation Skills (Hybris-Artesian). While Pride is Psychologically Healthy, it’s not Conducive to Spiritual Progress.

In the Creative Signs, the Tension of the Challenge pushes on Ganesh (Focus of the T-Square) in the form of a Muddle between the Argument that Transformation (ie, Formation of a New Trance) can be Instantaneous (Ka’epaoka’awela) and a Debate over How Exactly the Patriarchy should be Disarmed (Heracles-Chiron). Chiron, recall, gave up his Immortality in order to be Relieved of the Pain of his Unhealable Wound.

If a Disempowered Patriarchy Admitted how much Suffering its Constant Competition and Fear of the “Darkness” (the Feminine) has created not just in its Victims but also in its Perps, a Spiritually Honorable Choice for it would be to Graciously Accept its Mortality. Knowing how Addictive Privilege is, and seeing how Pride is already Destabilizing (the first Challenge, above), and how rarely we see Remorse in the Perps nailed so far, we wonder if that’s likely.

However, that Square between Ganesh and Heracles-Chiron is Illuminated by a Vajra. The Rescuing planet is Nemesis in 6 Gemini, Maintaining a Heroic Tenacious Hold on Our Intention to Heal into Wholeness. But, Nemesis as Rescuer? Yes – the Epiphany may well be that Most of Our Guilt is Synthetic, Injected by the Patriarchy to Keep us Down! We’ll find out more at the upcoming 8 June Initiation of Heracles by Chiron.

The Naked Square is in the Mutable Signs, between Nesssus (Abuse/Privilege), Pandora (Hope), and Klotho (New Beginnings) in Pisces, and Altjira Out of Bounds (Emphasis on the Field of Life), Atlantis (Lessons from Prior Disrespect of Same), and Juno (the Need for Growth in Consciousness) in Gemini – basically, Our Worry about whether Western Civilization will Collapse before or after it either Destroys the Livability of Earth, or Recognizes the Need for an Upgrade in Consciousness, or both.

The Vajra or Epiphany to this Naked Square is more Positive – Jupiter-North Node (Expansion-Mission) in 4 Taurus, A Dreamer about Lost Skills, Stuck in a Trance, Revertable by Inner Work and Deep Belief in the Power of the Soul. As we would Expect, a Merger of Jupiter and the North Node would be welcomed by Enhanced Self-Resolving Challenges. They Merged 27 May in 3 Taurus (Mean Node), and will Merge again 2 June in 4 Taurus (True Node).

Stellia and Enlightenment 2

We were working on the idea that Conjunctions and Stellia (groups of 3 or more planets close together) mean that some of our normal Cultural- and Language-Determined Distinctions (like Boy vs Girl, Blue vs Green, Idiotic vs. Imbecilic) get Merged, so we end up looking at People, Cool Colors, and Dumb instead. Each of these is a tiny Enlightenment. For instance, when we wake up one day and see People instead of Boys vs Girls, it’s Consciousness-Expanding. And we were using the very unusual Total Lunar Eclipse of 27-28 September 2015, which was loaded with Stellia and Conjunctions, as an excellent example. The chart is drawn at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/30/stellia-and-enlightenment-1/.

Just looking at the Eclipse itself, the Moon was in a Stellia of three, and the Sun was in a Stellia of eight, ie, unheard of. So what happens to our perspective when 8 of our normal Distinctions all run together? Well, let’s start with the simpler, the Stellia of 3…

• Eclipsed Moon – Instincts, Illuminated
• Vesta – Unconscious Limitations
• True South Node – Held Emotion

Our Held Emotions form the most Persistent Core of our Karma, as long ago we were highly Motivated to Never Think About Them again. They were too Painful. Often they were also Verboten in the Current Lifetime by our Programmers, cementing their Banishment for us.¹ Bringing them up into Consciousness by accident is almost impossible, because the clues are usually disguised by Addiction, Illness, or Culturally-Approved Victimizations. Dedicated and Persistent PIAVAs are Required.

¹ Forbidding something is probably the best way to assure that it gets constant Attention. Combining Forbidding and Punishing can drive an Energy into the Unconscious and Lock the door behind it, but that only means that we think about it all the time, without actually Recognizing it.

Our Unconscious Limitations are already the same thing as Held Emotions, but seen from a different Perspective. We just “don’t go there,” and our Behavior is so well-Justified that there’s no reason we’d ever want to. I’d Do Anything for Love, but I Won’t Do That! They’re Walled Off very Effectively by Judgments – in fact our Pet Peeves are often the best Clue to our Unconscious Limitations, but our Pet Peeves are Pictures of Our Identity – of Our Ego itself! The Ego has already made it Clear to anyone who will Listen that they’re Off-Limits. So this is an Effortless Merger!

But our Instincts! Only Carl Jung defined our Karma as a Persistent and Dedicated Effort by the Unconscious to get us to Open to and Accept our Held Emotions. So this sort of Merger is a Given to Jungians and followers of his followers. In Normal Circumstances for most people, this triple Merger would Precipitate a Major Crisis, as we would be forced to Admit or Reveal our Most Shameful Secrets. At the very least we’d be Hiding in a Cave somewhere, so no one would be allowed to Witness our Shame.

But these weren’t Normal Circumstances! Look at the Other Side of this Eclipse – a Stellium of eight planets – I don’t recall ever seeing that before!

• Sun – Essence
• True North Node – Life Mission
• Juno – Growth in Consciousness
• Black Moon Lilith – Self-Sovereignty
• Makemake Out of Bounds – Enhanced Manifestation
• Sisyphus Out of Bounds – Enjoying the Journey Rather than Anticipating the Destination, Exaggerated
• Tantalus Out of Bounds – Valuing Desire as the Essence of Living, More Highly than Satisfaction, Amplified
• Panacea – Healing

While our Ego is Lost in Shame, our Essence is Bathing in the Bright Light of Our Lifetime Mission. Our Mission is so multidimensional that our Ego and 2D Mind seldom actually Witness more than a Whiff of it. But here we’re Immersed in the Urge to Grow in Consciousness, and Intuitively we know that the most Powerful way to do that is to Open to a Held Emotion. With Emphasis on Self-Sovereignty, we’re less concerned than usual about What Everyone Else Will Think of us, which has potential to Neutralize our Shame.

Sisyphus and Tantalus are cousins in the Psyche, both dealing as they do with Forever – Sisyphus Condemns us to Repeat a Task Forever, and Tantalus leaves us Forever Frustrated because the Objects of our Desire Dissolve just as we are about, at long last, to Enjoy Them. Indeed, few things are more Tantalizing than the Desire to Complete our Sisyphean Tasks. Both make excellent adjectives for describing Karma.

Sisyphus and Tantalus are named like “Centaurs,” which are comet-like dwarf planets with elongated 50-100+ year orbits between Jupiter and Pluto, of which Chiron is the most well known. But they aren’t Centaurs at all, they’re “Apollos” – Near-Earth Asteroids that orbit between Venus and Mars. Tantalus is considered a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid, as it’s 4km/2½mi wide and comes within 16 LD (Moon-to-Earth Distances) of Earth, orbiting every 18 months between 0.9 and 1.7 AU (Distance from the Sun, where Sun-to-Earth is 1.0). Sisyphus is a little less dangerous, approaching within “only” 40 LD from Earth though at 9km/5½mi wide it’s bigger than Tantalus. It orbits every 30 months, between 0.9 and 2.9 AU. For comparison, Mars orbits at 1.4-1.7 AU, Venus at 0.7 AU.

Their presence in the 8-fold Merger tempts us to Imagine what Life will be like for us when our Karma is no longer Interminable, nor Fruitless. Panacea tells us that this Merger is a Healing! So it was entirely possible for a Witness to the 27-28 September 2015 Blood Moon to Experience a Significant Burst of Enlightenment. And whether we Witnessed it visually or not, we couldn’t Hide from the Energy of a Blood Moon like this one.

But what about the Kassandra T-Square, the thick red triangle that Challenges the Full Moon? The Full Moon is already a Debate, like any Opposition a Tension between the two sides of a Tug-of-War. But here the two sides are in total agreement – we need to Embrace our Held Emotions to Move into Enlightenment and 5D. So where’s the Tension? Kassandra means Disbelief. Who are we to Claim to be Enlightened? Everyone we know who does that is either a Guru or an Obvious Egotist, sometimes Both.

The green wedge pointing at Kassandra says that the T-Square is Self-Resolving. There’s nothing we need to do except somehow refrain from Interfering in the process as it Unfolds, since it may not Unfold all at once. It can actually help to be Unaware of the astrology at this point, because our lack of Awareness might help prevent our Interference. How does the Self-Resolution Unfold?

The two long green lines are “Quincunxes” – an “Unx” is one twelfth, here 1/12th of the Zodiac or one Sign, and “Quin” is of course 5 – the green lines are 5 Signs long. A Quincunx means Curiosity. Not Curiosity in the sense I gotta figure this out! but Curiosity in the sense of Awe. So our most appropriate Response to the Eclipse would be to Watch or Experience it Slack-Jawed, in Awe. A Quincunx is a Mystery School, where we need to put our 2D tools (Mind) back in the toolchest, Ask to be Informed, and Wait for nD tools to reveal themselves.

There’s a Mysterious Relationship here between Pan, the Primary God of Nature, and Disbelief, that’s somehow involved with the Manifestation of our Enlightenment. And another Mysterious Relationship between Disbelief and The Birth (Klotho) of a New Field (Arachne). Arachne is Grandmother Spider, Who Weaves the Web of Life. So there are things that are Unfolding which are beyond what we can Understand Intellectually.

The Shift Network is sponsoring a course on Communicating Soul to Soul with the Spirit World, presented by “Mystic, Medium, and Author” Suzanne Giesemann. I’d never heard of her, but I Learned enough listening to her hour-long Preview last night, to Connect with many passed Relatives, and a few of my former Teachers. First time I’ve ever had two-way conversations with Disincarnate Spirits. She’s offering a free recording of this Preview for at least three more days (till 5 April 2023), at https://theshiftnetwork.com/Engage-in-Soul-to-Soul-Communication.

What sort of nD Relationships with Disbelief are we talking about here? The 2D Mind will only have enough bandwidth to find Metaphors, but we might be able to get more Intuitive Perspective by Asking for a download from our Teachers and Ancestors on the Other Side of the Veil. Just because someone’s on the Other Side, that doesn’t mean they Know more than you do already, but Suzanne introduces simple ways to Validate what you’re Picking Up. If you aren’t in steady Contact with the Other Side of the Veil already, there’s at least a Talking Mirror here. Validation is important, as our Comprehension of this New Field (Klotho-Arachne) is Explicitly Challenged by Untruthes (Square to asteroid Pinocchio).

There’s one more Stellium and one more Conjunction in this Blood Moon chart, so we haven’t Exhausted the Opportunities for mini-Enlightenments yet. They’re Linked to Pan through a Grand Cross (four planets more or less equally spaced around the Zodiac) which introduces a Series of Small Challenges that Complement one another. A Grand Cross is Self-Resolving, though there may be some Temporary Discomfort if the segments of the Resolution are separated in Time.

The Stellium involves Intrusive Memories (Gonggong), Truth of the Mind (Veritas), and Confusion (Neptune). The Intrusive Memories are highly likely to be Clues about our Held Emotions, if we Pursue them as Teachings, and sidestep the Temptation to Relive them as Coulda Woulda Shouldas. The Intrusive Memories Intruded in 2015, but remember that Everything that Ever Happened in a Place Is Still Going On, and we have the advantage that by reviewing the astrology we’re Indirectly Triggering our Experience of the 2015 Eclipse, even if we don’t Remember Experiencing its Energy.

The Truth of the Mind tells us to Compare Everything we Learn here to What We Already Know, but not to Reject Anything that doesn’t Agree, but to Practice our Skill with “Cognitive Dissonance,” the Practice of Holding Contradictory Propositions in Mind at the Same Time without Argument between them, which is Essential Practice for using our Mentality in Dimensions higher than 2.

Neptune, Material Confusion and Spiritual Clarity, here completes the Suite by Reminding us that Confusion is the First Stage of Growth in Consciousness. Without Being Comfortable with Confusion and Standing Still for It, we’ll never get to Allowing Cognitive Dissonance to Enliven Paradox. One trick to make it easier to Live with Neptune, is to shift our Vision from the Mind to the Heart, as the Heart Perceives Spirit and its Clarity. If we Channel the 2015 Blood Moon fully here, we won’t be able to Discern the Difference between Intellectual Truth, Confusion, and Ancient Memory, and that’s Important to Grokking the Enlightenment.

Besides Pan and the Gonggong Triad, the third member of the Grand Cross is the Merger between Mars and Orcus – only two Concepts to Merge – how Easy by now, right? Mars is about Action, and Orcus is about Pattern-Making and Pattern-Breaking, namely, Creating and Letting Go of Karma. So we’re Expected to Actively Let Go of any Attachment we have to Self-Sabotaging Habits. The subscript is that Anger may be involved in our Held Emotions, and that there may be Resistance to Letting Go of our Anger, especially if we’ve heavily Invested our Ego into being Victims of our Pet Peeves.

Mars was the God of War, and there’s nothing he Enjoys more. Orcus was the Enforcer of Oaths in pre-Roman days in what is now Italy, and his methods were gruesome, as most of the Oaths he Enforced were involved Commitment to Armies. Commitment to things like Fidelity were not even considered in those days. We were Free then to Abuse anyone or anything of lower status than ours. Financial Commitments were probably more one-way Commitments than two-way “Bargains” as Civilized Law expects. There’s probably no more Important Held Emotion to Embrace, than Anger, as we Experience Anger in the Unconscious as Anger Directed Toward us. Another Clue.

Finally, the fourth corner of the Grand Cross contained The Fall of Overtechnologized Civilization (asteroid Atlantis). If any of your Strategies involve Increasing Complexity, turn around and Walk toward Simplicity instead. Universal Equality and Respect for All Things is probably as Simple as we can get.

Soulful Full Moon

I’m still behind on paper, still working on the 19-22 January 2023 Moira-Uranus New Moon report, which is important because it’s Impact lasts till the 20 February New Moon. But in Real Life, when the clouds above my skylight parted last night, it became Glaringly Obvious that the 5-6 February Full Moon is upon us! So what’s it about?

First, it Dances with our Soul in quite a Challenging manner (non-Self-Resolving Uranus T-Square to the Full Moon Opposition). The Full Moon itself is at 17 Leo, Irrepresible Emergence of the Underworld. The Sun is at 17 Aquarius, Maintaining the Details of Tradition. Our Tradition is to treat the Underworld this way…

Uranus, though, sits at 90 Degrees from both of them, but at 16 Taurus, The Compulsive Truth of Love. It’s Squeezed between Star Menkar in 15 Taurus, The Repeatedly Erupting Need to Surrender, and 17 Taurus, Eruption of Unconscious Contents. Sounds like David Icke, post-Ayahuasca. If you’ve ever watched much television or studied much History, you know well how brutal and sadistic Hupers can be.

We may have Memories or Dreams or Visions that emulate television in their Brutality and Sadism. We may even have Chosen to Confront some of that when we were in the Lightworker’s Lounge Simulator. Whether from the Simulator or from any sort of Experience that we Identify as Personal, we may have Karma that approaches this. There is no Ego Identity in the Unconscious, it’s Impersonal. Some people consider it to have Three main Realms, the Universal, symbolized by Pluto, the Cultural (by Neptune), and the Individual (by Uranus).

Wait! If the Unconscious is full of Bogeypersons, how can we consider Uranus, the Individual Unconscious, to represent The Soul? You’re thinking of Freud’s Subconscious. That’s the Dungeon where all of our Demons are Chained Up (or were, till this Full Moon, I guess). Jung’s Unconscious is the Dragon’s Lair, where our Lost Treasures are cached – the ones that will make us Whole and take us to 5D – Protected by the Dragon. The costumes and makeup are better there.

The Subconscious and the Unconscious are actually the same place. The only difference is the Perspective of the Observing Ego. Is Thor’s Hammer the Sledge of Destruction? Or is it the Mjölnir – Lightning – of Epiphany and Enlightenment? There’s a pretty Clear and very Traditional Dichotomy at work here, isn’t there – the Famous Dichotomy between Good and Evil. Well, Dichotomies are what Dimensionality? Two? What do we know about 2D? That’s where the Mind Lives, isn’t it. Nature doesn’t Live there, Reality doesn’t Live there.

You aren’t old enough to remember the old Kodak Brownie camera from the 1950s. My first camera. They may have had color film for it, but who could afford that? When we could spare the cash to get a roll developed, we got 2×2 inch (5×5 cm) black and white snapshots. 2 inches, 2 colors (sorta – shades of grey actually), 2D. That’s where Good and Evil Lived, there in the Brownie, and on the couch – and in the 50s. Actually, developers would only develop Good. Evil snapshots got confiscated. You had to go to Polaroid to capture Evil, and that was still originally only Sepia and White. Color TV was still ten years away. You can make Color with 3 pigments, but mixing them together in different combinations and intensities will provide an almost Infinite number of additional Dimensions.

That helps, but to get to Nature or Reality you need to add many more Dimensions, starting with Linear Time. Video simulates Linear Time, and consumes Linear Time to watch, but it still doesn’t do 3D well, or approach all the variations and nuances of Nature or Reality, or even of Huper Culture and Artifacts. All of these considerations are about Separation, a 2D Concept. Language, the Currency of 2D, can describe, usually crudely, many characteristics of 3D and sometimes beyond, but it has precious few words for Unitary. So we have to admit that 2D is woefully Inadequate to capture the Paradoxical way Nature is Multidimensional and Unitary.

The Unconscious is also Multidimensional and Unitary. The Three Realms are marked off just for the convenience of astrologers and psychologists and their Minds. The Three are Irretrievably Interwoven and Entangled. The distinctions between the Realms are pretty Arbitrary. Think of it as a Gigantic Blob floating in Interdimensional Space, like Dark Matter or Dark Energy, obviously Occupying the same space we Live In. The outside of this Unconscious Blob is studded with Rings. Bilbo was trying to find one of them. When we stick a finger into one of the rings on the outside of the Unconscious, it sticks. That’s Karma.

Since the Unconscious is Invisible or Transparent, we can never know the Source of the Karma. All we can do is Notice and Identify (crudely, since it’s multidimensional, but that’s a start) the Pattern of Behaviour that it produces, and Act or Speak Differently, Hoping the Change will impact the Karma broadly – for instance, will Stopping Generational Abuse End the Karma itself, or just our own Ring of it? We don’t know, we just do the best we can, and Assume that we’ll simultaneously Chip Away at the larger Cultural Realm of the Blob. If it helps, we can Assume that the Karma was part of the Original Intelligence of the Universe, put there as a Heuristic or Teaching Device for us demented Hupers.

The Finger of the Goddess, consisting of two planets two Signs apart, with a third planet at their Far Midpoint, five Signs away, making an Acute Triangle or Wedge. Five Signs is called a Quincunx (Latin for “5/12ths”) and indicating Mystery, or Dimensionality higher than 2 or 3. In Nature there are no Contradictions – which are 2D and therefore in the Mind of the Observer – there are only Paradoxes where there appear to be Contradictions, and this is also true of Mystery, the Quincunx, and the Finger of the Goddess. The Finger combines the 5th Harmonic (Learning) with the 12th Harmonic (Pattern-Breaking). We can’t change a Problem using the same Thinking that postulated the Problem, so we have to Learn a New Way to Break the Problem.

The T-Square consists of two planets in Opposition or 6 Signs apart, with a third planet at their Midpoint, three Signs away, making a Right Triangle. Three Signs is one fourth of the Zodiac, hence it’s the 4th Harmonic, signifying Dominion. Western Culture understands only Domination, not Dominion, as the tale of Damocles illustrates. Damocles covets the Emperor’s Luxury, so he asks if he can sit in for a day and Enjoy the Domination. The Emperor says “Sure,” but hangs a Sword over the Throne by a single Horsehair to symbolize the Complexity of the Duties that he must perform to maintain his Dominion. Damocles is Terrified by the implications of Accountability, and Runs Away. The Moon, by the way, symbolizes Accountability.

So the T-Square signifies Mastery through Challenge or Mastery through Adeptitude, which Damocles could have Worked toward had he not Run Away. Now, if we add a Finger of the Goddess to the T-Square, with each of their “third planets” being the same planet, then the base of the T-Square makes a nest of Trines and Sextiles (both of which signify Grace) with the base of the Finger, and this Basket of Grace under the T-Square makes the T-Square Self-Resolving. If it’s hard for you to follow all the triangles, this is all mapped out graphically in the post at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/self-resolution/. Bear with us, we’re making a Point.

If Damocles was in a Self-Resolving Challenge, and had not run, but tried Sitting with his Discomfort (in the sense of Sitting in Meditation), he would have had an Aha! Experience, understood the message, untied the Sword, handed it back to the Emperor, thanked him, and Lived Happily Ever After. In a Self-Resolving Challenge (T-Square plus Finger of the Goddess), the Distressing Patterns we Break by Sitting with the Challenge are Patterns that were ready to Let Go of us, Rings that were ready to Break Open at the slightest Tug, or even On Their Own. (Thanks to Boozilla for the loan of the Patient Bear.)

Earlier we mentioned a Configuration that Ego astrologers refer to as a Thor’s Hammer, as it’s Implications can be troublesome for the Ego. It’s two planets 90 Degrees apart with a third planet halfway between them at their Far Midpoint, 4½ Signs away. The Ego astrologers refer to the 4½-Sign Angle as a Sesqui-Square because what they see is a Challenge similar to a Square (Sesqui means 1½). In Ascension astrology, we see a Trioctile Angle there, because we regard the Octile, the 8th Harmonic (1/8th of the Zodiac or 45 Degrees), as a very legitimate Angle in its own right, meaning Adjustment or Justice.

We refer to the Configuration as a Mjölnir, or Trioctile Yod. That’s just Norwegian for Thor’s Hammer, but the Hammer has so much Destructive Baggage from Hollywood’s interpretations of it, that we needed a more neutral term that emphasized the Lightning aspect of Thor’s Hammer. Lightning, a legitimate meaning of the Hammer in Norse Lore, is just as Destructive, but it’s more Focused, and Illuminates the Situation. So we regard the Octile as meaning Insight, and the Mjölnir as signifying Epiphany. The Trioctile combines the 3rd Harmonic (Love with Wisdom) and the 8th (Adjustment), so Implies Bringing into Balance.

Now, if a T-Square (Challenge) and a Mjölnir (Rebalancing) point to the same planet, then the Challenge is Self-Resolving with a Caveat. We have to do our Work. The Patterns to be Broken will likely be Difficult, such as Rejecting Feelings that We’d Rather Die than Feel. The Angles made between the base of the Mjölnir and the base of the Square, rather than Trines and Sextiles as was the case with the Finger, are Octiles and Trioctiles – Justice and Rebalancing.

There may be Guilt involved with the planets in the Mjölnir, and we may need to Make Amends to bring the Guilt “to Justice.” Often the Amends will need to be make to Ourself, for Abandoning an Inner Child for most of our Life, for instance. Guilt is seldom “Deserved” – it’s usually someone else Blaming us to Protect their own Ego. If it was something “we” did “wrong,” Regret would be more appropriate than Guilt. We put “we” in quotes because if it’s Karmic, it wasn’t even “us” that were involved, “we” weren’t there! “Wrong” is in quotes because it’s a Judgment, a Duality, an Intellectualization, a Thought. We can be Tortured by Thoughts, but not Blamed for them.

We’ll talk about how the Full Moon Triggers Mjölnirs tomorrow.

For now there’s one more Important Issue we need to mention. Karma is By Definition Not Present Moment. It has roots in other Lifetimes. Even if they’re Parallel Lifetimes, they aren’t in Our (Our Ego’s) Present Moment. It’s Effortless to Bring Karma into the Present Moment – all we need to do is Repeat Self-Destructive Habits Mindlessly. Yes, we haven’t traced most of our Karma back to its first Pattern. The Present-Moment Re-Enactment of Karma often starts with one of those Feelings that We’d Rather Die Than Feel.

Each time we Feel that, our Reaction is to Repress it, often before we even Realize we’ve Felt it, because we’ve been Practicing Repression for so long that it’s Automatic. Often it was part of our Programming. We weren’t Allowed to Feel that because our Programmers couldn’t Stand It themselves. So when we begin to Notice a Karmic Pattern beginning to Repeat, we may be Noticing the second or third Pattern in a series. That doesn’t matter. Whatever stage we Notice, that’ll make it easier to trace back to earlier Patterns.

We may be able to get ahead of this process by PIAVAing to know What Came Before the last time this Karma was Triggered? Then we can Notice that Pattern when it reoccurs, to see if it’s part of the Chain of Events and Feelings that lead to Outcomes we don’t Want. If we can be Vigilant about this process, ultimately we can simply Refuse to Cooperate when the Triggers are pulled. Fear is often one of the Feelings that we’d rather Die than Feel. Not all Fear, but Fear of a certain Tone, Fear that Regresses us to Past Deaths or Past Experiences that “we” Experienced as Worse than Death.

Once we Interrupt the Chain of Events and Feelings that lead to Outcomes we don’t Want, it becomes Obvious that Karma is Just a Thought. Like the old Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, but Thoughts Will Never Hurt Me till we let them lead us down a Train of Karma. From the Perspective of the Octile and Trioctile, every Event and Feeling is a Teacher, and the more Unpleasant it is, the more Important is the Lesson. Blaming the Teacher when we don’t Grok the Lesson helps no one.

Rhodonite (the red, a Manganese Inosilicate with Calcium, Iron, and Magnesium substituting for some of the Manganese; an Inosilicate is one with the Silicate units joined into long chains) and Galena (the silver-black, Lead Sulfate), which “blends the heart pink with the dark root Chakra colors [and] helps a person self-actualize as it increases awareness of dignity, self-respect, and self-regard [and] grounds all these essential awarenesses to a stable foundation. … It is a unique aid to insight as it strengthens the heart connection to the higher self, bridging the intelligence and learning ability of the heart tissue with the higher self while bypassing the brain” (Marquist & Frasl, pp.127-8).

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.

Purging Eclipse 2, aka Removing Obstacles

Quite an Eclipse! I woke up not knowing who or where I was. My Body remembers its Habits, like eating and typing, but my Mind is still kind of wondering who to Be and what to Do. At the perfect moment, a great post today from Dr. Joe Dispenza…

https://drjoedispenza.com/blogs/dr-joes-blog/investing-in-the-unknown-part-i-evolving-the-experience

“As I tell my students, again and again, we can’t create from a place of survival. If we’re operating from our first three energy centers, if we’re trying to meet our most basic needs, if we’re worried about food, shelter, or safety, if we’re constantly reacting in anger and frustration, then it’s not the time to create. We first need to be centered. We need to be operating from a place of order…

” I start from there – from balance. And then, beginning from that point of homeostasis, I ask myself these fundamental questions: ‘What is my next greatest potential to experience in life? What is the next unknown that would evolve my perception of myself, the way I see the world, and my future?’ Over the decades I’ve been developing and practicing this work, I’ve always approached it with this thought: ‘My life is the great experiment. And I am the scientist.’

“Many years ago, when I had my first clinic in the Pacific Northwest, I used to develop patient X-rays myself. I’d enter the darkroom – and, in the 10 or so minutes it took to process the X-rays, in that place void of any light, I’d work on connecting with the unknown. As the image revealed itself on film after it exited the processor, I’d practice becoming no body; no one; no thing; no where; in no time.

“My premise was this: If I’m truly investing my attention and energy into the unknown, if I really believe in it, really put my attention on it, and I do it with clear intention, then I’ll see the evidence of that effort – in the form of interesting, evolving experiences in my life. And over time, as I practiced, I became more and more adept. As I went deeper into the experiment, those experiences would accumulate. Eventually, I had enough evidence in my life that I was able to detach from any attempt to direct or control the outcome.

“Where We Place Our Attention Is Where We Place Our Energy. And so, each time I entered the darkroom – or, once I began traveling frequently, any time I was on a runway; sometimes four times in a day – I did so with the same intention: I’m letting go of any expectation of what my next experience will be. I’m just going to trust that it will be. I would simply make it be about my effort – not the outcome. I’d tell myself, ‘Since the present moment is where the unknown exists, and since where I place my attention is where I place my energy, the effort of staying truly present in the unknown should be what brings the novel event to me.‘

“I thought of it like investing in a bank account. Except what I was investing in was the unknown. I approached it, each time, with a calm sense of knowing. Not the energy of trying; not the energy of hoping. I just knew that if I kept tuning in; kept connecting; kept being open and curious … sooner or later, something unusual would happen in my life. I’d pause and think: if my thoughts truly create my life, if I truly am a creator, if I just keep investing in the unknown, then my body will follow my mind to this unknown experience.

“Cultivating Curiosity. Often, when people approach me about my practice, it’s because they’re feeling stuck. They’re hung up on wanting an outcome – and their attachment to the thing they seek is exactly what’s preventing them from experiencing it in their lives. They’re preoccupied with wanting. And wanting implies separation. But in the unknown, there’s no separation. That’s because there’s no thing in nothing to be separate from.

And so, each time I connect – each time I become no body, no one, no thing, no where, in no time – I’m not wanting for anything. There’s no want involved; this is purely about curiosity. I am the scientist. And my life is the great experiment. And I’m interested in seeing if I can evolve my truth to some degree. What we’re talking about, essentially, is the delicate balance between intention and surrender – which I’ll talk more about in Part II.”

The Big News is that our Chief Asteroid Officer has discovered that there’s an asteroid Ganesa, whom we know as Ganesha or Ganesh. the Remover of Obstacles and God of Wisdom, Purity, Innocence, Valor, New Beginnings, and Luck, in many Religions …

And it turns out that asteroid Ganesa was Stationary during the Totality of the Eclipse, 3:23 am PST 8 November 2022 (11:23 am GMT, 9:23 pm AEST Qld.), in 13 Cancer, which fills the Vacancy in what would have been the only T-Square in the Eclipse chart, making it a Grand Unx! As our CAO is fond of saying, You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

An Unx is ¹/₁₂th of anything, the Twelfth Harmonic (Pattern-Breaking) and an Unx Angle sits between two planets that are within a few Degrees of being one Sign apart. In a Grand Unx, twelve planets are spaced more or less equally around the entire Zodiac. That gives us…

• 12 Unxes, or Opportunities to Break Patterns More Easily because the Universe helps! So any Karma you have between planets in adjacent Signs is Ripe for Harvesting. For instance, are you happy with the way your Manifestation Skills are Working? If not, then the first question to ask, is whether What You Want is Respectful to All Beings (Makemake Conjunct Hopi OOB). Past this hurdle? Then, any Interference from your Held Emotions (Makemake Unx South Node)? Aha, that’s an Unx, so we may be able to just PIAVA it – I Wonder What It Will Be Like When My Held Emotions Don’t Inhibit My Manifestation.
• Considering Dr. Joe’s comments above, I’m using what for me is a New PIAVA – After several Deepening Breaths through my Nose with my Mouth Closed, I Fill Up my Torso from the bottom to the top, right up into my Brainstem, till I Experience Joy (pausing for a minute if hyperventilation makes me dizzy, then resuming). Then I put a Miniature Diorama of What I Want (here, Pure Manifestation without Karmic Interference) into a Helium Balloon, and Let It Rise into the Heavens.
• 12 Fully Self-Resolving T-Squares (red triangles), or SuperPowers, one for each planet or group thereof. For example, if we’re Willing to Claim it, the Merger of Our Soul and Our Lifetime Mission is Brightly Illuminated (the Ecliplse on Uranus Conjunct North Node). That’s Heady! Upper Limits! I need a little Chocolate before I Close my Eyes and Feel what that’s Like! (I haven’t had my Daily Ration yet.) Subtle, very “Ordinary” yet not at all, Easy to Lose the Thread! I’ll put in a Balloon the Intention to Remember this Feeling at least twice a day henceforth, and Let It Go.
• 6 Yin Gate Mystery Schools, one for each Opposition, signifying “Debates” that are much Deeper than the Logical Mind can Grasp. For instance, Karma Opposite Moira-Altjira. I’ve been Thinking that our Karma is pretty similar to our Fate (Moira), but I Guess I need to Open the Question Up to my Intuition instead of just Thinking. And what does Altjira (The Field from which Life Evolved ) have to do with it?
• The influence of a Full Moon lasts only about two weeks, so this is Temporary, Right? Yes, but All There Is Is Now, so it’s Permanent too, as every Moment Teaches us a different Truth about the Ever-present Nowness. There’s something Unknown that I need to Grok about how Fate and Karma interact with the Evolution of Life. A Question for another Diorama Balloon.
• 4 Grand Trines (Consummate Grace, blue equilateral triangles), one for each Element – Earth, Air, Fire, Water. One example: Hybris Trine Karma Trine Chiron-Nemesis Trine Hybris, each Trine implying Effortless Cooperation between the Qualities. Hmmm, till I Break Though it, Chiron-Nemesis can be Despair about Guilt. Been there before, fortunately not for a while. The way to Break Karma is to Break our Ego-Attachment to it (Hybris), our Identification with it. So Grace between Hybris (Hubris) and Karma is certainly Welcome. Sounds like the next fortnight will be a good time to Jettison some serious Ancient Karmic Guilt.
• Where in The Great Work of Our Time (Climate Disaster) do I have Guilt? I do often feel like I should be contributing more on the Global Level, and if I’d won the Big Lottery, that’s where I’d put most of it. Do we have Lifetimes where we Collaborated with the Colonizers, or Died failing to Stop them? The Colonizers have contributed the gasping Lion’s share of the Warming gases, and still do. Another Balloon. Can’t do Colonizers choking on their own Emissions (see Hopi-Makemake above – besides, it’s a Fire or Spiritual Grand Trine), so my Diorama will have to feature Indigenous People Breathing Free and Leading the Way instead.
• 3 Grand Crosses, one for each Modality – Creative, Stable, Changing. A Grand Cross (a red square with a red X across the diagonals) is another type of SuperPower, where we’re Skilled at Resolving the Recurring Hassles thrown out by very Complex Problems, with lots of internal and external Interactions. What about the Evolutionary Grand Cross – Moira-Altjira Square Ceres-Thereus-Kassandra-Orcus-Sisyphus Square Karma Square Nessus Square Moira-Altjira. It’s gonna be a lot of Work just straightening out Ceres et al before we even start on the Grand Cross!
• I think it might be about Breaking the Perpetuity of Ongoing Effort to Get Past our Denial and Be Relentless about making our Karma-Breaking Sustainable (Sisyphus-Kassandra-Thereus-Orcus-Ceres), and Doing it Equitably and Collaboratively (Nessus). Though we Admit that we don’t Understand it, we’ve already Let Fly a Balloon about how Fate and Karma interact with the Evolution of Life. So maybe I’m already demonstarting this SuperPower through this Blog, where I’m intending to help Coach us all on Leaving Behind a very Messy Self-Destructive 3D “Reality” and replace it with something more 5Dish.
• 2 Grand Sextiles (blue hexagrams), one for each type of Power, Magnetic or Dynamic. In a Grand Sextile, All Six Energies Complement one another almost Effortlessly. The one caveat is that it doesn’t start until we kickstart the process. Dynamic Power is the one the Colonizers use – can we throw our wooden shoes into it? It’s Chiron-Nemesis Sextile Moira-Altjira Sextile Hybris Sextile Hopi-Makemake Sextile Karma Sextile Saturn-Arachne Sextile Chiron-Nemesis.
• Where to start? We don’t want to be Destructive and Competitive, that would put us in their shoes. Can we do something to Slow them Down? The Opposition has been trying to Guilt-Trip them for Decades to no Avail – their Hubris is too great. Their Karma is Destroying their Golden Goose, but they know it, they don’t give a shit, and they’re trying to get as much as they can shoveled into their yacht before The Light Behind the Sun Takes All. Modern-Day Colonialists. We may just have to let them finish the job of Destroying themselves.
• So, what about the Magnetic Power, can we start something there? Many smart folks have been saying that we needed to Ignore the Old Dying Institutions, and just start our own, so they’ll be ready to step into the Vacuum when the time comes. The Magnetic side goes Ganesha Sextile Ceres-Thereus-Kassandra-Orcus-Sisyphus Sextile Venus-Sun-Mercury-South Node Sextile Atropos-Icarus-Hylonome Sextile Nessus Sextile North Node-Eclipse Moon-Uranus Sextile Ganesha.
• Where might we stir up Trouble in that Loop? Atropos (Deceased Karma) is always a good place to start, because when Karma Dies, the Old Habits remain, because even if we don’t like them, they’re What We Expect, and they’re Comfortable like an old pair of Shoes. So we could check our natal chart for any planets in the middle of Capricorn that might have Old Karma Attached to them.
• For instance, I have asteroid Karma, Nemesis, and Pholus there – fresh meat! Pholus usually points to some place where we aren’t “Owning” everything we need to Own. Gay Hendricks tells us that when we don’t Own All of What’s Ours, we remain a Slave to Time rather than shifting to Yintegrity. So it looks like it’s incriminating Karmic Guilt again (asteroid Karma and Nemesis). We met the before, when we were Working with the Grand Trines.
• Okay, so I don’t really Feel like I have Permission to be Here, or certainly not to Be Myself except in very closely guarded quarters, like this carefully constructed blog where no one can even leave a Comment without my permission. I’ve always Blamed that on early situations between my Parents, but when I attempt to Own that now, of course that’s my Karma.
• Virtually All of the Difficulty we Encounter as Kids is Karmic. The Universe doesn’t just Dump it on us cuz we’re Vulnerable. Except for our Resistance to it, the Universe is actually Benevolent and Generous. So, not wanting to Analyze or Attach more Energy to it, I’ll make a Diorama of a Child whose Real Self is Welcomed into their Birth Family, put it in a Helium Balloon (the Child has a Helium-Breathing Mutation), and Set It Free. That should be enough of a First Action for me to do my part in Energizing the Magnetic Grand Sextile. Wish me Ganesha’s Blessing of Good Luck!
• 1 Grand Unx contains all of the above within it, so it’s pretty Monumental. The overall interpretation is that Everything Works Together. It’s kind of a Do-It-All Configuration. If we’re getting close to a Grand Unx, there’s No Shame in seeking out unknown asteroids to complete it. If the new ‘roid has some Connection to the theme we Work with (Ganesha is certainly totally Relevant to any Ascension theme), all the better. If it seems remote, that’s cool too, because it can point to what sort of Energy we need to Consciously add to the mix in order to complete the recipe and make Everything Work Together. We can also use Degree Readings for that Purpose.

Lets add a Helper Stone to this Endeavor. The Guilt examples have been my own, but the Chiron-Nemesis is there in the Eclipse-Ganesa Station chart, Prominently, for All of Us. If you have any natal planets in the middle third of Aries (I have several, including Nemesis itself), it’ll be ringing your doorbell too.

According to the book I most Trust for interpreting Crystals and Minerals (because my Personal Experience has always Validates it), Collen Marquist and Jack Frasl’s Crystalline Communion 2000, p.58, “Emerald stimulates courage to embody Light as a beacon rather than bleed from the heart endlessly for the trials and needs of others. Emerald empowers the knowledge of when to walk away and when to stay and teach others through example or resonance. Emerald improves all physical heart functions, as well as emotional functions of love and kindness to others. It calms the heart and relieves guilt.”

Sounds like it will be useful for the Hylonome Angles as well. Emerald, especially when paired with Gold, Facilitates Ego Death, so it can be Unsettling to wear the two together for long periods. Too much Ego Death can become a Setback in our Evolution, unless it’s Supported by the “Stars” (ie, when we don’t have other Options!), as it has been lately…

Emerald is a “Beryl,” or Beryllium Aluminum Cyclosilicate, or Ring Silicate. Beryllium carries Serpent or Kundalini Energy, so all of the Beryls are Healing Stones. Beryllium itself is highly Toxic. Among the Transparent Beryls, green ones are named Emerald, bluish ones Aquamarine, clear Goshenite, pink Morganite, yellow and line green Heliodor, and red and golden ones just Red Beryl and Golden Beryl. Opaque Beryls, no less Brave as Healers, are called Common Beryl. I’ll add my favorite Crystal and Rock books the the Bibliography soon.

Phew!

Feels too good to be true (which may mean it ain’t), but astrologically anyway, “the coast is clear” for once! 

The Moon is In-Bounds (Panic not so much) till 10:49 am 13 October 2022 (6:49 pm BST 13 Oct, 3:49 am AEST 14 Oct).

The next Stationary planet (Strong Ambient Energy) isn’t till 14 October, though astroevents tend to fill any empty Time-Space, so we could Encounter that sooner.  It’s about Self-Confidence Issues, including Self-Doubt,¹ so we want to Intend (any other PIAVA will do fine as well) to be Confident in our Ability to Notice our Self-Doubt if does arise, and be Loving with it.  If we said to ourself, “You Poor Sweetheart, you’re feeling Self-Doubt, aren’t you” (followed by Changing the Subject of course) it would be delicious, as it would not only take Our Identity out of Doubt, it would leave us Identifying with Compassion.  Practice that a couple times, and you may never Doubt yourself again!  If that sounds Dangerous, make sure to be Loving with your Doubt about it!

And my own Self-Doubt is Up already!! Thank the Goddess I know it’s coming, or I’d be Believing it!

We do have a couple of Sign Changes, which aren’t usually Disruptive, though they can Shift the General Ambient Energy a bit.

On 8 October, the Energy of Mary Magdalene ² moves from Sagittarius (Let It Go! ) to Capricorn (Just Fix It! ). From The Seven Sacred Flames (pp166-7), compiled by Aurelia Louise Jones…

“It is extremely important for this Truth to be revealed now, that Mary Magdalene was a high initiate and priestess of the Sacred Fire during her lifetime with Jesus… She was unfairly discriminated against by the early ‘fathers of the [self-proclaimed “Christian”] Church’ in their attempt to… maintain control over what they feared the most, the energies of the ‘Divine Mother,’ that Mary Magdalene represented at the time, along with Mother Mary, the mother of Jesus. Both were very high initiates of the Temple of Isis and had the required attainment to hold that energy while Jesus was performing his Sacred Mission. It is time for hu[per]ity to open their hearts to the loving energies of Mary Magdalene, seeing her for who she really is and forgetting the lies maliciously invented against her.”

…(which we’ve added to the Bibliography). Her Energy has been hanging out in Sagittarius helping us Let Go Of all this Karma off and on since December 2021, She’ll be in Capricorn till January. She dipped her toe into Capricorn earlier this year from April till June. She should now be Open to Petitions to help with Rebuilding projects, particularly those aimed at Collaborative Teamwork.

Then we do have a Full Moon 1:58 pm PDT 9 October, in 17 Aries,³ but it’s a Grand Unx, meaning that there’s somebody near 17 Degrees of every Sign, each planet one Sign from the planet in the next and the previous Signs.⁴ That makes the next few weeks an Ideal time for Letting Go of Self-Sabotaging Habits, especially…

• Where The Most Important Thing is to Heal your Codependence in Relationships where your primary Strategy for Improvement has been Hope.⁵ As they say, Hope is Necessary, but it’s not the most Effective Strategy for Resolving a Problem. If we’re in this position, it may be because we haven’t Realized that the only person we can Change is Us. Our odds of succeeding at Waiting and Hoping for someone else to Change are close to nil. We’ll probably have to Make Our Own Needs Clearly Known, or Recognize that Our Needs Are Being Ignored, or both. And we’ll probably have to make a Fearless and Searching Inventory of what we are Gaining from the Relationship, so we can Weigh it against the Loss of Self that Results from Not Being Able to Live Our Truth.
• This is by no means Easy, and it we aren’t Fully Aware of our own Needs it will be a very Clumsy process. This is not the kind of Change anyone makes without a great deal of Practice, but the whole process is in many ways a prerequisite for Enlightenment or Ascension. In order to be True to Our Soul Self, we will have to Give Up most of the Compromises we’ve made so we could Survive in a Patriarchic World. Will our Self-Reliant 5D Community Magically Appear just as we’re Ready to replace our old 3D one? We may need our Intermittent Fasting practice more than we Imagined.

This is only one of our dozen Unx Opportunities. For instance, The Most Important One Is Our Need to Take Full Ownership of Our Historical Abuse.⁶ We can talk more about these dozen in another port.

For now, it’s also Important to point out that in a Grand Unx there are no T-Squares, only Grand Crosses. A T-Square (Major Challenge and SuperPower) is two planets on almost Exactly Opposite sides of the Zodiac, with a third planet halfway between them. A Grand Cross (a Series of Hassles that Complement One Another if We’re Patient with Them) is four planets more or less equally spaced around the Zodiac.

For instance, where the Most Important Thing Is to Heal Our Codependence with Hope (see note ⁵), the Grand Cross includes a Discussion between this Healing Codependence and the Empirical Truth about the Boundaries our Sovereignty prefers to Set.⁷ This Discussion is Confusingly Mixed with a second Debate between Our Emotional Discouragement and an Ego Death around our Trust in our Values.⁸

More Doors to Open here, in future posts.

¹ Station of dwarf planet Chariklo (Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt ) 1:42 am PDT 14 October 2022, in 5 Aquarius (Surrender to Merging the Chthonic with the Cosmic – which is exactly what Aluna Joy predicted for the fifth phase of the Core Ascension Portal that ended yesterday!). That’s 9:42 am BST and 6:42 pm AEST.

² Asteroid Magdalena enters the first Degree of Capricorn (Tradition of one’s own) 4:03 pm PDT 8 October, which is 12:03 am BST and 9:03 am AEST, both 9 October.

³ 17 Aries is Living Outside of Culture but Open to Spirit. 1:58 pm PDT 9 October is 9:58 pm BST 9 October and 6:58 am AEST 10 October.

⁴ Which defines the Unx, or 30° Angle, which is the 12th Harmonic (360°/12=30°), which corresponds to the 12th Major Arcana in Tarot, the Hanged Man, or Pattern-Breaker. He doesn’t Hang by his Neck or Fingernails, but by his Heels, in order to Get a New Perspective on Things, the Better to Change them.

⁵ Asteroid Panacea Out of Bounds (Profound Healing) in 15 Capricorn (Searching for a Way to Avoid Claiming Profound Power, and finding none, needing the timing, willingness, and discernment to Claim Openly the Power that is Dangerous but undeniably yours) Merged with (Conjunct) dwarf planet Hylonome (Codependence) in 20 Capricorn (Staying Committed to Clearing the Present when the Future is so Compelling), Unx to both Pandora Out of Bounds (Exaggerated Hope) in 15 Sagittarius (Adept with Apocalypse Once We Accept It ) and Saturn (The Most Important Thing) in 19 Aquarius (Half Observer but Half Participant in the Apocalypse, thus able to See Alternatives).

⁶ Saturn (The Most Important Thing) in 17 Aquarius (Maintaining Tradition) Unx to both Nessus (Abuse and Privilege) in 15 Pisces (“Stunningly endowed with whatever it takes to reveal Spirit in action” ) and Panacea-Hylonome in Capricorn (see prior note). We need to Leap at every Opportunity to Own our Abuse and Privilege while Nessus is in 15 Pisces. It’s been there since 14 September and will stay there till 24 October. It was there earlier from 25 February till 23 March 2022. Considering those dates, it’s obvious that Our Victimhood about Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine (and about other elements of Climate Change et al ) is the place to start. This deserves its own post. It will be there again between 31 December 2022 and 6 February 2023.

⁷ Panacea-Hylonome (see note ⁵) Opposes the Stellium (Group of 3 or more planets) of asteroids Veritas (Truth of the Mind) in 18 Cancer (Obsessed with Polarity Karma and Our Shadow till We Finally Break Through to See the Dualism as a Game) and Pallas (Boundaries) in 15 Cancer, home of the Major Star Sirius (Brilliance at Natural Community), and Black Moon Lilith (Self-Sovereignty) in 20 Cancer (Coming into Enlightenment ).

⁸ Moon (Instincts) in 17 Aries (Living Outside of Culture but Open to Spirit) Merged with (Conjunct) Chiron (Despair and Miracles) in 15 Aries, home of the Major Star Alpheratz in Andromeda (Freedom of Action and the Need to Be Present with Oneself ) Opposite the Stellium of the Sun (Our Essence) in 17 Libra (Sensitivity Covered by Self-Defeating Self-Obsession), the asteroids Requiem (Ego Death) in 19 Libra (Repeated Impulsive Actions that Unexpectedly Break Through Ossified Karma) and Eurydike (Trust ) in 18 Libra (Compulsive Control Till Realizing that it’s a Dead End and Finding a Way to Sit Still with Anxiety), and Venus (Our Values) in 14 Libra (Giving Up Identification with the Surficial and Moving Inside).

Self-Resolution

The “T-Square” in astrology – a third planet at the Midpoint of two other planets that Oppose one another, without a fourth planet Opposing the third – is the source of some of the most Challenging circumstances for Hupers. Once we realize that every Challenge is also an Opportunity, our natal T-Squares are also the source of some of our greatest SuperPowers, as we come to Understand that we have more Experience with a Complex Challenge than anyone else has. T-Squares are like graduate seminars – there are no Answers, only more Intriguing Questions and Explorations. Our Frustration with them is Created by our a priori Expectations of Relative Perfection rather than Gradual Improvement.

We Feel the Tension in a T-Square through its Focus planet and its Sign and House. We don’t use Houses here because they’re Location-Dependent, and we write for anyone, no matter where they are on the planet. Like the Signs, the Houses divide the Zodiac up into 12 units. Where planets determine what sort of Energy is afoot, Signs determine how we’ll Experience the Energy, and Houses determine which arena of our Life we’ll Experience it in. The Source of the Stress derives from the two planets that Oppose one another and are engaged in an Argument. They usually stand for Values of ours that are Competing with one another in Obvious or Subtle ways, and the Winner of the Argument will get to Deploy the Energy of the Focus, threatening to leave us Grieving the Loss of the Value that won’t Win the Argument.

Once we have some Understanding of what our T-Squares are about, one way to Appreciate them is to Compare our current Frustration with them to our degree of Frustration twenty years back. Chances are we’ll see how much we’ve Learned. We develop Muscles by Exercising them till we huff and puff, then resting them for a day or two, then repeating. We accept a Challenge that Stretches us but does not Exhaust or Injure us, followed by Relaxation. This is true of just about any form of “Muscle” – Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Existential.

Lately almost all of our T-Squares have been Self-Resolving, as part of the Descension of Soul into Matter (Uranus in Taurus), aka the Upgrade in the Evolution of Planet Earth and in the Vibratory Frequency of the leading edge of Huperity. Or so we tell ourself, hoping on the one hand to move closer to Enlightenment rather than just Fattening our Ego, and on the other hand to Fatten the Accumulation of Higher Frequencies that Raise the Collective Consciousness of Huperity at least as rapidly as Climate Change et al Collapses Patriarchic Civilization. It’s important to Remember that the first stage of Sustainability is Sustenance, eliminating the unnecessary. As the Patriarchy Collapses, the Suzerainty of everyone’s Inner Female must rise. The Inner Female, aka the Heart or astrological Venus, is the Home of Values. Without Heart, the Inner Male and hence the Outer Male, Serves Mammon, not Huperity or Gaia. American Culture Serves and Worships Mammon, which we need to eliminate in Ourselves, since Ourself is ultimately the only thing we can Change.

In an astrological chart, a T-Square looks like the picture at right. If we had drawn the lines to connect each planet to the center rather than each planet to the others, it would look like a “T,” hence the name. It’s “Square” because the planets make right angles – add a fourth planet Opposite the Focus, and you’d make an actual geometrical Square (which astrology would call a “Grand Cross”). Maybe T-HalfaSquare or T-RightTriangle would be a better name. My First Mentor Dane Rudhyar referred to the T-Square as “the Evolutionary Challenge for [Huper]kind.”

It represents the Fourth Harmonic (360°/4 or 90°), which in Tarot is the Emperor. Literature is full of stories about how the Emperor was either Fair or Corrupt, and how much impact that had on people’s Lives during his Reign. As they say, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely, and the Evolutionary Challenge for Huperity lies in either Preventing that or Perfecting Communication and Collaboration enough that Outside Authority is unnecessary (think 5D). We need only look to the Terror that Damocles, who after all these Millennia is still Running, Felt when he Realized that he would be Accountable for his Actions and Decisions.

When we draw a chart, red lines represent Tension or Stress. It was Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye MD that first referred to Constructive Stress as “Eustress.” The Boundary between Eustress and Distress is beyond Comfort, but closer to Comfort than to Severe Discomfort. Severe Discomfort causes Backlash, producing the Opposite of Growth, which is an important consideration around Ego Growth. There is Power in Repetition, till it becomes Karma, which is simply Repetition used indiscriminately, whether it’s appropriate to the circumstance or not. Breathing is very Beneficial, for instance, till we walk into a room full of Carbon Monoxide.

On a chart, green lines represent Curiosity or Mystery. The green lines on the chart at right (they may look blue) are called “Quincunxes” – Quin- because they connect planets that are Five Signs apart, and -Unx for 1/12 or One Sign. The “c” just eases the transition. A Quincunx represents the sort of Curiosity that causes our jaw to drop, as in Awe. If we Allow it to creep into the sort of Curiosity which Inspires a Search for Answers, and Limit ourself to our current Concept Set, we short-circuit the potential Growth. Searching for Answers that Stretch our Concept Set is good, but Accepting Apparent Contradiction as Paradox is better, because it drives a wedge into our Concept Set.

That allows a Higher-Dimensional Tool like Intuition to Heal the Wound in our Concept Set, rather than Letting the Two-Dimensional Mind Cement our Either/Or Judgments into Karma. A rift in our Concept Set often Inspires an Ego Death, so we usually prefer to search for Answers that leave our existing Concept Set intact, often by resorting to Blame in order to do so. We accelerate our Consciousness Expansion by retraining ourself to not just Tolerate Ego Death, but to be Excited by it because like the Emotion of Confusion, it Signifies Growth. We can then Celebrate Temporary or even Permanent Gaps in our Apparent Understanding of how the World works.

When a third planet sits at the Far Midpoint of a Sextile it creates a green wedge, and that third planet is said to be the Focus of a “Finger of the Goddess,” symbolizing the admonition to Pay Attention! We can think of it as parallel to when “God” (or “Sphere”) put their Finger on Flatland in the story from introductory Physics classes…

Blue lines on a chart symbolize Grace or Blessings. When the Focus of a Finger of the Goddess is also the Focus of a T-Square, we naturally Pay Attention to the Focus of our T-Square, increasing the odds that we’ll Embrace it as Eustress and manage to interpret it as a potential SuperPower. After all, Noticing is the first step toward Converting Karma to Expansion of Consciousness.

Once we fill in the Trines (two planets separated by Four Signs) and Sextiles (two planets separated by Two Signs) – the blue lines – the result is what’s called a “Diamond Star,” as pictured above. The “basket of Grace” under the T-Square Resolves the Tension in the T-Square, while the Finger of the Goddess, if we can keep the 2D Mind from Freezing our Growth, Opens us to the possibility of an Expanded Concept Set.

Hence, a Self-Resolving T-Square, namely a First-Order Self-Resolving T-Square. Second-Order Self-Resolution results when the Focus of a T-Square is also one corner of a three-cornered Trine, as in this picture to the right. We can gain additional Orders of Self-Resolution when multiple T-Squares are in Grace-Full Relationship to one another. The Foci of the two T-Squares in the last picture, for instance, Sextile one another, and the ends of the Oppositions Trine-Sextile each other, making the two T-Squares Complement one another. Where one Disrupts, the other Heals. The second T-Square appears to also be a Diamond Star, but it may not be, as Sensitivity may Prevent it. We may be allowing two Degrees of Sensitivity, and the Angles to the Finger of the Goddess may be three Degrees.

With all Self-Resolution, we’re ahead of the game when we Endure and hopefully Embrace any Discomfort that arises, rather than Intervening to Reduce it. The Endurance and Embrace provides the Eustress that maximizes our Growth. When the Configuration itself provides the Resolution, it will be Multidimensional and Unitary, the Paradox typical of Higher-Frequency Reality. When we Intervene, it’ll almost always be 2D or 3D, and usually more Separating than Unifying, and so may well interrupt the Chain of events that the Self-Resolving Configuration Intends.

Pattern-Busting Full Moon

Margery asks if we could show a picture of the 6:36 pm PDT 11 August 2022 Full Moon chart, which we could call a Ball-of-Yarn configuration, as it would keep a Cat occupied till nap time. We actually call it a Grand Unx – an “unx” is one twelfth of something, and a “grand” fills the Zodiac, so a Grand Unx is twelve planets equally spaced around the Astroloop. Yes, we could always get one of these if we use enough asteroids, and we use quite a few, but it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen one, so it’s not as facile as it seems. The main feature is twelve Unx Angles, each of which indicates Pattern-Breaking, so it’s a chart worth celebrating, especially as these Heavy Energies that so many people are reporting are Lighting Up everything in our Karma that we haven’t Cleared yet.

Just a few Examples…

• Karma is dead; it died with Linear Time ten years ago. But we’re all still clinging to its corpse. Whenever a polyp of Karma breaks off and falls away, we Feel Weird, we don’t know what’s happening, and our name isn’t even Mr. Jones. We reach out for the familiar, to Anchor ourself. What’s familiar? Our Karma! So we Embrace those old Comfortable Patterns enthusiastically, as if they were our favorite snacks! But Looky Here! That so-very-Intense Exaggerated Karma Frosted with the Emotions We’d Rather Die than Feel (asteroid Karma Out of Bounds on the South Node) is Unx to (one Sign from) New Beginnings (asteroid Klotho)! So without even trying, we can Break this Pattern of Grasping our Dead Karma – all we need to do is Announce our Intention to Let Our Dead Karma Go like a Hot Potato Instead!
• But wait! We’ve all Wrapped our Identity around our Karma – it’s inevitable. Our Karma is Who We Are, so no matter how nasty it is, we’re Ego-Attached to it. If we haven’t yet caught ourself Bragging about our Karma, we need to start Listening to what we’re saying! We can Intend to Let It Go, but what about the Ego Death – those aren’t Fun! What’s on the other side of Karma-South Node? Asteroid Narcissus (Overfocus on our Identity)! So without even trying, we can Break this Pattern of Ego-Identifying with our Karma – all we need to do is Announce our Intention to Experience our Ego Deaths Lovingly and Gently so We Can Be Excited about the Glorious Freedom we’ll Enjoy once we do!
• But Hold On! What about our Abuse Karma and all of the Unconscious Limitations that we use to Protect ourself from those Memories (Nessus-Vesta-Heracles) that we’ve buried so deep in the Dungeon that we don’t even know they happened? Well, Trusting our Instincts Unquestioningly (Saturn-Moon) Unxes that Stellium (Nessus-Vesta-Heracles), so without even trying, we can Break this Pattern of Being Triggered for no apparent reason – all we need to do is Vow from now on to Act on our Instincts Immediately, without Questioning them and without ever Explaining them, no matter how Weird we think it’ll look to others.
• But Shit, when I’m Triggered I’m usually Feeling Depressed and Powerless, and my Instincts are nowhere in sight! Often I Feel Depressed and Powerless and I don’t even know when or how I was Triggered! I usually think it’s “just me” that’s Depressing and Powerless. But on the other side of Nessus-Vesta-Heracles, it’s Unx to Despair and Miracles (Chiron). Well, we know how to Poor Sweetheart ourself out of Despair and Create Miracles, but when we’re Depressed and Powerless, we’re Regressed to whatever Bummers we’re Unconsciously Reliving. When we Regress, we Forget everything we’ve Learned since those Repressed Bummers happened! So without even trying, we can Break this Pattern of Forgetting What We Know – all we need to do is Vow from now on that when we’re Regressed we’ll Remember All of the Tools We’ve Learned to Restore our Current-Life Identity, like Poor-Sweethearting!

No Wonder the Energies Feel Heavy!! Can you Imagine how the other eight Unxes might play out?

Apart from the Glories of the Grand Unx, the Big Deal about this Full Moon is that it “Squares the Nodes.” What does that mean?

• Well, the Nodal Axis – South Node to North Node – is the most important Axis in a chart, as it indicates the Source, Direction, and Destination of “the Native” (the person or event for which the chart is drawn). In this Full Moon, the Source is a Karmic Hellhole, the Destination is Reunion of Day-to-Day Identity with Soul, and the Direction is from Emotional Overload to Stability.¹
• At any Full Moon, our Inner Male and our Inner Female are Face-to-Face, where as much as they are able, they can be Honest about the Quality of their Union. In Carl Jung’s approach to Psychology, which we applaud, the Perfection of this Union is more or less equivalent to Enlightenment, thus a Key Ingredient of our 5D Endeavors.
• The “Square” means that these two Critically Important Axes sit at Right Angles to one another, meaning in applied mathematics that they are Independent – they do not Influence one another under the radar. So our Purpose (Nodal Axis) and our Integrity (Inner Harmony) are a priori Unrelated, and each can Operate and Negotiate without Unconsciously Compromising themself.

Notice how different this is than the conventional astrological interpretation of a Square – as a Crisis. In a Left-Brain Patriarchal Culture, the very idea of Surrendering Power to the Female is Anathema. In this blog we’ve been inching toward interpreting Squares as Superpowers rather than Challenges. We don’t mean that the Challenges go away. In the previous post we averred that “If We Aren’t Ready to Receive What We’re Asking For, the Universe Will Show Us Examples of Why We Aren’t.” If we Experience our Squares as Superpowers, we’re Ready to Receive What We Want. If we Experience them as Challenges, the Universe is Clarifying for us Exactly what we still need to Let Go Of in order to Support Ourself without Unconscious Compromise, aka without Self-Sabotage.

The Loud and Clear Message in this particular Full Moon is that The Most Important Thing is to Trust our Instincts.² Jung used to say that people who emphasized Thinking were not Rational, because they weren’t in touch with their Values (which are accessed through Emotion). In an Ideal Lifetime, our Inner Female calls the shots (assuming She’s in touch with Her Feelings), and our Inner Male follows Her lead. That’s Inner Female and Inner Male – any Relationship between actual Living People needs relative Equality in both Vision and Action, as each person will contribute Vision from their own Inner Female, and each person will contribute Action from their own Inner Male.

A Grand Unx is so incredibly rich that we’ve only begun to scratch the surface. Full Moon Energies are usually Prominent for several weeks afterward, so we have time, and we’ll Dive Deeper in the next post.

• ¹ Source = South Node, Merged with asteroid Karma Out of Bounds (Exaggerated ), Destination = North Node, Merged with Uranus (Soul ), Direction = Scorpio (Fearless Searching) to Taurus (Grounded Materiality).
• ² Moon (Instincts) Conjunct Saturn (The Most Important Thing).

Artesian Spring

Asteroid Artesian, by the way, is minor planet number 296819. You’ll need that number to find it on True Node http://www.true-node.com/eph1/ or Serennu https://serennu.com/astrology/ephemeris.php or the like, so you can look up where it was when you took the lift down from the Lightworkers’ Lounge. I tried putting Artesian to work earlier today, pouring my remaining Unconscious Resistance to one of my Heart’s Desires into Niagara Falls, then Imagining my Artesian Spring blurbling out What I Want instead – to finish rebalancing my budget after a big reduction in input last year. Next thing I knew I was in my chair slowly waking up from a Sound Sleep! Now that’s Powerful Information about Whatever I’ve been Denying! So I tried the sequence again with more Focus, this time to Visions of pleasing abstract Patterns in stunning blues and greens, and no Sleep. Progress with the Unconscious is always Weird.

Yesterday I allowed myself to sleep in, and missed the first two hours of the Farmers Market. I needed GF Bread, Eggs, and Spinach, which are usually sold out by that time. So on the way there I Asked my Artesian Spring to Bubble Up some of each. Spontaneous Kegels helped it along. Sure enough, when I got to the Market the GF Bread was all sold – but the Baker had more at his shop and had already sent someone to retrieve more! Then some of the best Eggs were still available, and some great Spinach, and I scored an assortment of Greens for my next batch of Green Soup, and picked up the Bread on the way out! Go Artesian!

We’ve spoken about how 🦨Pootin’ has left us with a sense of Powerlessness, but when we add asteroid Artesian to the 21 February 2022 chart of Climate Change et al, it links two of its non-Self-Resolving Challenges with Dumb-Luck Grace, and adds a Mystery School to the third.¹ The Mystery School’s Advice is to Forget everything we Think We Know about Manifesting Healing, and Open our Heart to Learning how to Directly Integrate Healing Karma and Respect. In other words, we aren’t Powerless at all, we need only Enlist our Artesian Spring and Specify What We Want. Remember that this 21-22 February chart describes the whole New 150-year Cycle, and especially the next 60 years while we work to Shift the Planet from Divisive, Predatory, and Destructive Profit-Motivation, to Collaboration and Community with the Victims of our Avarice – one another and the Natural World.

We’re entering a busy two weeks.

Be on the lookout for Despair between now and 8:21 am PDT 19 July,² and be Mindful to Respond with Poor-Sweethearting or the equivalent. The prognosis for this event is Fantastic, so don’t let any Discouragement Karma drag you down. Toss it over your favorite Waterfall, and Let Your Artesian Spring Bubble up Miracles instead. If you don’t Expect it to work, it won’t, so Intend to Believe that it will with All Your Heart.

Also in the 19th, at 6:00 pm PDT, our Unlimited Potential Changes the way it Manifests, from Flexibility to Compassion.³ This is a big Change, since our Potential has been Ambiguous since 2000. It’ll be Nurturing until 2042. Keep your Eye on, and Trial your Beliefs about, your Best Superpower Fantasies until the Ides of October 2022, because between then and the end of May 2023 we’ll be Reviewing everything we Learned about our Superpowers while they were Dancing around in all their many costumes. After that we’ll get Serious about Mothering them into their adolescence. They move into Self-Assurance in 2042.

Also also on 19 July, the nature of our Guilt Shifts from Self-Pitying to Integrity after 8:26 pm PDT.⁴ From mid-August till year-end we’ll be Reminded of everything we Learned about our Guilt since April while it was Recycling Emotional Baggage. We’ll have nine months to Practice Eliminating our Guilt by simply Acting and Speaking with Integrity. The more we can Choose Yintegrity the better, because Yangtegrity always includes Guilt about Self-Abandonment.⁵

Until 8:08 am PDT 21 July, we’ll be Swimming in Denial that Asks to Be Revealed for What It Is.⁶ Denial is a psychologically Healthy Strategy for postponing Important True-Self Recovery work that we aren’t yet Ready to Complete. Be mindful that some people will accuse you of Denial when they’re Projecting their own Unconscious Denial onto you. Don’t Fall for it. You’ll Open up Gracefully to your Denial when you’re damn well Ready. You’re getting close when you notice that you’re starting to think that someone else is in Denial about something, which something will Resemble your own Denial, though it’s almost always through a Funhouse Mirror. Accept only the Revelations that come from your own Inner Guidance, and Reject the attempts of Others to Manipulate you.

At 4:22 pm PDT 23 July, the Moon goes Out of Bounds to the North, until 12:04 pm PDT 28 July,⁷ an hour after the New Moon. Folks are more likely to Panic about things during Out of Bounds Moons, especially when they begin. They get into Thinking about the Stories they make up to Explain their Emotions, instead of Feeling them to best harvest Insights from them. For instance, Wall Street often Panics at Moon OOB N, though this time they’ll have a day and a half to think it over before the Market opens to the peons on Monday. On the other hand, the FRB will announce new higher interest rates on 27 July, so everyone will be busy Overthinking.

Sai Baba

As July winds down, Growth in Consciousness is emphasized in Pisces through 24 July, though maybe we should call that The Need for Growth in Conscious- ness. The actual Growth is optional. As we’ve written about earlier, Our Soul and Our Life Mission Merge during the last week of July – what an Oppor- tunity! We need to make the most of it.

Through the 28th we have a Strong Emphasis on Expansion in Aries, and on the 28th an Out of Bounds Leo New Moon with four Strong themes, all Self-Resolving, revolving around Health, Enlightenment, Libera- tion, and Climate Change et al.

More details to follow.

• ¹ The 21 February Pholus-Quaoar (Climate Change et al) Initiation chart featured three non-Self-Resolving T-Squares, to Moon-Zhulong, Pandora, and Pholus-Quaoar itself. Asteroid Artemis at 6 Taurus completed the Moon-Zhulong Grand Cross, converting it from a Challenge to an Inconvenience. It completed a Grand Trine connecting Pholus-Quaoar and the Hopi-Thereus foot of the Pandora T-Square. It Quincunxed Pandora and the Makemake foot of the Pholus-Quaoar T-Square, creating two Tricolor Mystery Schools. Basically, we Win by forgetting everything we think we know about Manifestation and Hope, and Opening our Hearts to Mystery.
• ² Chiron Stationary in 17 Aries. Two T-Squares, one to Arachne (the Web of Life) in 19 Aquarius and the other to Altjira-Aletheia (the Heart’s Truth about the Source of Life) in 18 Gemini, are Self-Resolving, and with Narcissus in Libra share a Grand Trine. 8:21 am PDT 19 July is 4:21 pm BST 19 July in London and 1:21 am AEST 20 July in Brisbane.
• ³ Dwarf planet Chaos moves from Gemini to Cancer, revisits Gemini 15 October 2022 till 27 May 2023, and enters Leo in 2042. It’s been in Gemini since 2000. That’s 2:00 am BST 20 July in Liverpool, and 11:00 am 20 July AEST in Sydney.
• ⁴ 4:26 am BST 20 July in Glasgow and 1:26 pm AEST 20 July in Hobart. Asteroid Nemesis moves from Pisces to Aries. It’ll revisit Pisces from 18 August till 30 December 2022, then enter Taurus in March 2023. It’s been in Pisces since April 2022.
• ⁵ Yintegrity means we Do and Say what we feel like Doing and Saying, moment to moment, though this works well – without Rudeness and Destructiveness – only after we’ve Learned to Live from our True Self. Till then, we use Rudeness and Destructiveness to Identify and Repair our True Self’s Unhealed Wounds. Yangtegrity means that we Do what we Said we were going to Do, when we Said we were going to Do it, and we Say what our Leaders want to hear. To Live with Yintegrity in a Yangtegrity World, we Minimize our Commitments, Renegotiate when we can, and Make Amends when the Relationship is Worth Keeping and Renegotiation wasn’t possible.
• ⁶ Dwarf planet Eris Stationary in 26 Aries, 4:08 pm BST 21 July in Cardiff and 1:08 am AEST 22 July in Melbourne.
• ⁷ In Swindon that’s 12:22 am BST 24 July through 8:04 pm BST 28 July. In Canberra it’s 9:22 am AEST 24 July through 5:04 am AEST 29 July. The Moon moves from 10 Gemini to 7 Leo while it’s OOB.

Testing Our Dreams II

Using her unique combination of Intuition and Technical Expertise, our loyal CAO (Chief Asteroid Officer) has discovered that asteroid Samadhi is tightly Merged with the 28 June 2022 New Moon. They’re only seven arcminutes apart! That’s less than a fourth of the width of a Full Moon. And they’re both Out of Bounds, meaning their impact on Hupers is Intensified. Yogananda defines Samadhi as Identity with Spirit, or “Superconsciousness.” ¹ And we haven’t even started to discuss the second (Doubly Self-Resolving) Challenge in the New Moon chart, which is Focused on Enlightenment and Transmutation.²

When it was Discovered, asteroid Samadhi was at the Midpoint of Leo, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.³ The 15th Degree of Leo is about Individuation.⁴ Individuation was Jung’s term for Union with the Inner Self, including the Hieros Gamos or Sacred Marriage between the Inner Female and the Inner Male, a prerequisite for Enlightenment. The Samadhi Discovery chart features only one “simple” Challenge, revolving around the Edge Between Trusting our Instinctual Response to Abuse and Privilege, and Creating Enlightenment through Respect for Ego Death.⁵ It also has a minor Issue with Denial of the Extent of our Codependence ⁶ and ongoing complex Maintenance Issues around the Balance between Commitment, Patience, Karma, and Fear.⁷

• ¹ Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi, footnotes on pp.238 and 400. Yogananda distinguished two stages of Samadhi – sabikalpa samadhi, where Spirit-Unity exists when in Meditation, and nirbikalpa samadhi, where Spirit-Unity exists at all times. One of my first uses of PIAVA was to Pray for nirbikalpa samadhi.
