Living in the Heart

Brenda Hoffman channels some wonderful Wisdom today…

“You are likely no longer comfortable being the source of others’ jokes or the instigator of downplaying others’ importance. You are discovering an inner voice that often stops you in mid-message or sentence. A voice that invalidates what you once thought or said. For you are beginning to lead with your heart instead of social norms.

“Perhaps there was a time when you made fun of a certain person or action. But doing so now does not provide you with the same feeling of conquest. It merely makes you sad. For you are a different being with a different focus, and most importantly for this topic, different needs.

“Your needs before your transition and the energies of this December were often to be better than others. And to project that difference, you needed to make fun of their mistakes, their being. You needed to talk down to them and about them.

“You are discovering that doing so no longer gives you the same high, the same feeling of satisfaction. Instead, doing so makes you feel different, a difference you are beginning to explore. Some of you will display those unpleasant feelings physically. Others of you will merely lose your sparkle, your sense of fun. For in the past, ‘getting one over someone’ was fun, but it is no longer.

“You are a different being. It does not matter if your former targets have changed. For you feel bad even if they have not. You express fewer negative, hurtful comments, for you no longer wish to live in that world.

“Such will not happen in a few minutes or even a few days. Instead, you are shifting in that direction daily. You might still enjoy teasing someone – until you do not. We are merely informing you that new you will have different feelings and actions – from the heart instead of the mind.

“Conversations will likely be confusing for a bit because one of you will speak from your heart and the other from his or her mind. And perhaps those of you speaking from your heart will be hurt until you build your strength in that area. Similar to building your physical body at a gym, your heart instincts will become stronger the more you use them.

“You will find less need to tease, to pretend something is, that is not, to spread ‘little white lies,’ to try to be better than someone. 

“In 3D, better than someone was a key survival element. Beyond 3D, following your heart is the key. You will discover interests and people that speak to your heart regardless of the panache such interests or people might have in the greater society. It will no longer matter if you are the best at something. Interest, not dominance, is new you. Something you will learn throughout 2021.

“You are building your structure on the 2020 foundation you created – a structure right for you and no one else. You are beyond living for others in whatever form that takes. 

“That is not to say you will be isolated for the opposite is true. As you develop and explore numerous interests, you will tap into larger and larger groups of like-minded people. The difference between doing so in 3D and dimensions beyond is you will connect with like-minded and like-hearted others.

“You will have little need to compete, to outshine, to be better than. For your new interactions will be like a giant puzzle in which the pieces lock together easily and effortlessly. You might wish to explore one area of the puzzle for a bit and then move to another, only to return to the first area – or not. And doing so will not reduce your interactions or your love.

“This is a new world dominated by the heart instead of the mind. Your interests will be heart-based instead of mind directed. Eliminating the need for competition, greed, or self-compensation.

“Instead of a tall building of have and have-nots based on greed and better-than as was true in 3D society, your new world is a flat puzzle in which every puzzle piece is equally important and beautiful. So be it. Amen.”

I couldn’t agree more. The 29 December 2020 Full Moon is Bridged (Doubly Trine-Sextiled) by two Energies. One of them can be read as Obedience to Our Own Soul (Lilith [Self-Sovereignty] Conjunct Uranus [the Individual Soul]). The other is quite fascinating – it has to do with Making Abuse and Privilege Sustainable (Conjunction of dwarf planets Ceres [Sustainability] and Nessus [Abuse and Privilege]). Well, how would we do that without yielding the Planet to the Antichrist’s goons? I’ve been thinking of Abuse as the Other Side of Privilege. But the Other Side of Abuse-and-Privilege would be Respect-and-Equality, wouldn’t it! With a Namaste to Brenda for the Insight!

The Full Moon chart also includes Epiphany about our Limiting Beliefs – a Configuration of planets that we interpret as Epiphany (and which we call a Mjölner) because it features the convergence of two Angles (Trioctiles) that combine Adjustment toward Balance (Eighth Harmonic) and Love with Wisdom (Third Harmonic). These Angles converge on the symbol for Unconscious Limiting Beliefs (asteroid Vesta), giving us Insight into a Wise and Loving Rebalancing of our Limitations.

(Mjölner is Norwegian for Thor’s Hammer, which is the usual astroname for this Configuration of two converging “Sesquisquares.” We prefer the Norwegian name because, being a new term, we hope to escape the baggage of Destruction, as Norse Myth often pictures Thor’s Hammer as a Sledgehammer. Shades of Neal Cassady (a parallel story in itself). Hindu Myth includes the same weapon, the Vajra, but it symbolizes Lightning – Illumination – Destruction, yes, of the Ego’s former Limitations. “A vajra [or dorje in Tibetan] is a ritual weapon symbolizing the properties of a diamond [indestructibility] and a thunderbolt [irresistible force] and is the Sanskrit word having both meanings” – Wikipedia.)

Whether it’s a Mjölner, a Vajra, a Dorje. or a Hammer of Thor, the two Trioctiles or Sesquisquares begin at each end of a Challenge, or Square. In the Full Moon chart the Challenge is between the Soul’s Sovereignty (Lilith-Uranus) and Setting Truthful Boundaries (Conjunction of asteroids Veritas [our True Unvarnished Thoughts] and Pallas [Boundaries]). In other words, our Transition from 3D to 5D, from Competition to Cooperation, from Head to Heart, will include getting Clear and Honest about our Boundaries, which could require some possibly-Challenging Rebalancing of our Relationships.

In the chart below, the Trioctiles are drawn in the thinner orange lines…

Note that the asteroid Vesta is Opposed by Neptune, which symbolizes our Relationship to anything larger than our Self, including our Relationship to God/Goddess. Which adds Octiles (Semi-Squares, Eighth Harmonic, symbolizing Adjustment, Rebalancing) between Neptune and the shoulders of what becomes a Mjölner Kite, with Neptune at the Top. Neptune also symbolizes Confusion, but in fact it’s Material Confusion and Spiritual Clarity. So our Spirituality is also being Rebalanced by this process.

It’s important to Remember to Experience Confusion as an Emotion, devoid of grammatical objects and prepositional phrases – it’s not You Confuse me… or I’m Confused by…, it’s I Feel Confused. Period. Locate Confusion in your Body, not in your Thoughts. Be Loving and Gentle with it there in your Body, and don’t let anyone talk you into Attributing it to anything other than a Vibe your Limbic antenna picked up from the Airwaves.

Consciousness Expansion II

The 23 December (7pm PST) Juno Station (21 Taurus) chart looks like this…

Its main feature is a Grand Cross (the red square), which occurs when four planets are more or less evenly spaced around the Zodiac.  While a Grand Cross is made up of four T-Squares (the four overlapping big red triangles), and a T-Square Challenges us to become Adept at something, a Grand Cross is usually a little easier because, being Balanced, the Lessons usually aren’t as Difficult.  Also, the Challenges are frequent and interrelated, so with additional and more varied practice, we’re likely to become Adept sooner – and particularly Adept at Multi-Tasking.

The four T-Squares here focus on…

• Eris (Emerging from Denial)
• Moon-Moira (Learning to Choose our Emotions)
• Aletheia-Pallas (Accepting the Truth about how well our Boundaries serve us)
• Pluto-Chariklo (Having to Confront our lack of Self-Confidence)

I’m sure every one of you could write a short play about someone Getting Their Consciousness Expanded (that’s Juno after all) by having to deal with the likes of…

Realizing (Eris) that their Life is being Sabotaged by lack of Self-Confidence (Pluto-Chariklo), Learning to Recognize the Emotions that Trigger their Self-Doubt (Moon-Moira), and Setting Boundaries to Prevent these Emotions from Fragmenting their Personality (Aletheia-Pallas)

…or something like that.  I’m sure most of us could write a short story about when we’ve gone through this process ourselves, which we’ve probably done many times.  Like when the school bully called us names that hurt, and our Mentors encouraged us to find alternatives to running home in tears or taking a swing and getting our ass kicked.

Sticks and stones and all that, pretty fundamental stuff, but I’m sure you can think of far more subtle parallels.  It would Behoove us to think up current situations where Certain Emotions Challenge our Ability to Keep our Act Together, as every astrological adventure is an Opportunity to make Life flow more smoothly, and this one is no exception.  If we could become Conscious of those Emotions and Learn new Responses to them, chances are we wouldn’t just be Expanding our Consciousness, but also Letting Go of our Karma.

For instance, what Triggers Anxiety for us?  Nothing is Manifested into Hardcopy Reality without first being Broadcast as Energy – this is the Power of PIAVAing.  What Anxiety does is Broadcast Fear and Failure.  Without our Conscious Intervention, Fear and Failure could then be Manifest into Form.  We could recast our reading as…

Realizing (Eris) that our Life is being Sabotaged by Anxiety (Pluto-Chariklo), Learning to Recognize the Emotions that Facilitate it (Moon-Moira), and Resolving to Prevent it from Creating our Reality (Aletheia-Pallas)

…by for example, by first Tapping on it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzVd6Ww0as4) to Acknowledge it Honestly, and then Focusing on What We Want instead of What We Don’t Want.

Another example…

Suppose we don’t Trust our Instincts (Moon-Moira) to tell us what to Eat, so we set Boundaries against the Truth (Alethiea-Pallas) of our own Instincts (Moon) in order to continue to base our Self-Confidence on our Shoulds (Pluto-Chariklo) – till we Realize (Eris) that it’s not Working

So what would we do next?  We Respond to our Realization and Expand our Consciousness to include new Possibilities.  For instance, if we Lovingly Embrace our Desires when they arise, might we have less Difficulty Moderating them, and perhaps in the process Discover what our Soul Intended to Teach our Ego in the Current Lifetime?

A Trine Bridge (blue lines) shows an Easy Path toward becoming Adept and a Quincunx Bridge (green lines) outlines a Path of Curiosity.  Both are alternatives to following the more-Challenging paths of the Squares (red lines), without abdicating the invaluable Lessons to be Learned from the Challenges.  Same Destination, very Different Routes.

The position of Stationary Juno itself makes a Trine Bridge across the Confidence/Emotion-Choice axis (Pluto/Chariklo-Moon/Moira), and a Quincunx Bridge across the Realizations/Boundaries axis (Eris-(Aletheia/Pallas).  We can Learn faster…

• By just PIAVAing (see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava-review/) that our Consciousness Expand to Resolve our Crippling Self-Doubt or Anxiety (the Trine Bridge)
• Or by Wondering How or Why Self-Doubt or Anxiety so bombs our Personality (the Quincunx Bridge – see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/wonder/)
• Or Both.

However, most of us are used to thinking of Curiosity as something to Resolve.  “I Wonder What…” or “I Wonder How…” is often an invitation or imperative to do research or to think about what sort of Answer we’d get if it was a Question.  True Curiosity does not seek Satisfaction; it is more than content to remain Curiosity.  Think of it like Awe or Amazement.  Like watching a Bird peck its way out of an Egg, or a Butterfly crawling out of a Chrysalis – literally a Miracle.

You’re wide-eyed and your mouth hangs open, but you don’t try to explain what’s happening or why, or to Generalize it into a Judgment, whether Good or Bad.  What if we Responded with wide eyes and a slack jaw the next time we heard someone insult us.  If they continued to insult us – if we were Safe, of course – we might even have to Laugh.  A friend used to say, “Don’t get Even, get Odd.”

Stationary Juno is also Merged with (Conjunct) asteroid Lachesis, which symbolizes Consciously Changing our Timelines.  For instance, if we were Living a Timeline of being Bullied, and we succeeded in Changing our Response to it, we would be Consciously Ending that Timeline, or at least Beginning to Consciously End it.

There’s another Configuration in the Juno-Station chart, another Mjölnir Kite like we had at the 22 December Full Moon (https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2018/12/20/dumpster-fires/)…

When a planet sits at the Far Midpoint between two other planets that are three Signs apart, a Mjōlnir is formed.  Mjōlnir is Norwegian for “Thor’s Hammer,” the usual name for this Configuration.  We changed it because Thor’s Hammer is often confused with Ultimate Destruction, when actually it’s more about Indestructibility and Instantaneous Precision – not a sledgehammer but Lightning, or Sudden Illumination.  So we associate a Mjōlnir with Epiphanies.  When there’s also a fourth planet at the Near Midpoint, the Mjōlnir becomes a Mjōlnir Kite.

The Mjōlnir Kite reinforces our earlier interpretations of the Juno Station – Epiphanies about our Mission and our Held Emotions (North and South Nodes).  We would normally rather Die than Feel our Held Emotions, as our Experiences in Parallel Lives cause us to strongly associate them with Dying.  But we can’t proceed toward our Mission in the current Lifetime without first Learning to Embrace our Held Emotions.  So the Aletheia-Pallas Conjunction in the Juno-Station Grand Cross is also about Relaxing the Boundaries which keep our Held Emotions at bay.

The Square (red line) in the Mjōlnir is between Neptune (Confusion) and Mercury-Jupiter (Precociousness).  The Juno Station is about Growth in Consciousness, and this Square Illuminates the classic impediment to Growth – regarding Confusion as a sign that we need to struggle mightily to Understand!  Actually, when we Believe we’ve Understood why we’re Confused, we’ve just Quashed our Growth!

Our Concepts about What Is and What Isn’t Possible form a Cage that we’re trapped inside of.  Confusion arises when one of our Limiting Beliefs becomes Open for Questioning.  But if we Intellectualize it (Jupiter-Mercury), we’ll invariably Reinforce our Limiting Concepts, because those are the raw material for our thoughts.  Like Curiosity, we need to Let Confusion Be.  If we regard Confusion as an Emotion, and just Feel it, Embrace it, Enjoy it, our Consciousness will Grow on its own, naturally, without Effort.

New Province IV – P.S. 2018c

It’s rare that a chart focuses on the Fifth and Eighth Harmonics, like the one in the previous post does.  We haven’t covered the other Harmonics yet, but the sheer number of Quintile and Octile Angles in that chart is unusual.  That tells us that we have a lot to Learn, and a lot of Adjustments to make, to bring ourselves into Alignment with the New Energy that’s bathing our Planet.

The chart pictured in the previous post also includes a strong Mjōlnir, or Thor’s Hammer.  We prefer the Norse term Mjōlnir, because it emphasizes the Lightning aspect of Thor’s tools, more than the Sledge aspect.  Like the Vedic Vajra that preceded it, Mjōlnir emphasizes Indestructibility and the Power of the Light to destroy Darkness.  An astrological Mjōlnir is formed by a third planet at the far Midpoint of a Square (two planets three Signs apart), or two planets Trioctile to the third planet.  In alignment with our interpretation of the Trioctile as Insight, and with the Lightning aspect of Thor’s Hammer, we interpret a Mjōlnir as Epiphany.

The Mjōlnir in the 1/1/2018 chart is focused on Fear (Sedna), wrapping around the base of our Ego-Death (Nemesis) Challenge (T-Square).  The base of the Mjōlnir is a Challenge to Let Go of Impediments to Truth (Veritas-Atropos Square to Sun-Venus-Hylonome).  The astrological Square represents a Challenge to Mastery, and a productive Response to a Square is a patient Exploration of all sides and extremes of the Issue marked off by the planets on each end.  A more common Reaction to Squares is Frustration, as we try to approach it as a Problem to be Solved, rather than an Issue to be Studied.  A Square is like a graduate seminar – it’s not about finding right Answers, it’s about exposing useful Questions and Powerful new Pespectives.

Here the Issue is comprised of Atropos (Chosen or Fated Ending of a Timeline), Veritas (Truth), Hylonome (Codependence or Liberation therefrom), and Venus (Values), with the Sun serving as an exclamation point.  To find the Heart’s Truth (Veritas) we need to experiment with Detaching from our Identification with our Values (Venus-Hylonome), and experiment with Relaxing our Grasp on our intellectual understanding of what we think of as Fact (Atropos-Veritas). 

The Antichrist embodies this apparent Conflict as a demonstration for us.  He selects his Facts to suit his Values, and has no apparent Intention to Choose to End that Timeline.  With Atropos, Difficulty arises when the Timeline comes to its natural, “Fated” End, so Choice is no longer an option.  We could Choose to interpret this Square as the Antichrist’s Certainty being exposed as a Con, but that’s only one of many possibilities.  An important subtlety is that every Heart and Soul has its own unique Heart’s Truth.  Right and Wrong is a Teaching mechanism, not an aspect of Reality.

So the Mjōlnir tells us that the crux of these Issues is about Fear, and that this year we’re likely to have Epiphanies about our Relationship to Fear.  Do we use Fear to Define our Values?  To Resist Ending Attachment to an Archetype or other Timeline?  Do we Respond to Fear as an Opportunity to add Breathing and find Excitement?  That sounds almost blasphemous, doesn’t it, as if we’re supposed to Respect Fear as the acceptable Boundaries of the inviolate Ego.  Well, this is the base of a Challenge (T-Square) to Ego-Death (Nemesis), isn’t it.

We haven’t mentioned here the other end of the base of the T-Square, the Opposition to Sedna.  That’s the Vesta-Hopi-Karma Stellium, in itself a Challenge to Confront the Emotions we can’t tolerate (asteroid Karma), Let Go of our Limiting Beliefs (Vesta), and come to Respect for All Things (Hopi).  Now that is Scary, isn’t it.  That brings us right up against Destruction of our own Safety net, our current Ego, how we Define ourself to ourself, and probably to others as well. 

Ever use the phrase “I’m not one of those people who…” or an equivalent?  Finishing that sentence gives you a list of your Limiting Beliefs, which can be traced to your Held (Resisted at all costs) Emotions.  Facing, Poor-Sweethearting, and ultimately Embracing those Emotions will Liberate the Skills we need to pursue our Mission in the Lifetime. 

Maker Moon

Tuesday’s Full Moon is unusual.  A Full Moon is a comment on the Zeitgeist of the following several weeks.  There’s little Grace, good Curiosity, and big Insights involved in this one.  Your doorway into Epiphany is your Instincts – Trust them.  Your password is Discouragement.  Pay close (and Loving) Attention to any Discouragement you encounter…  

“You poor Sweetheart, you think that’s impossible, don’t you.  I Wonder what it would take to make it possible.  What if it was such a subtle difference that we’d hardly notice the change”

would be a good icebreaker.

The Configuration looks so much like a Crossbow that I think we’ll call it that.

A Crossbow Configuration is a Finger of God pointing at the focus of a Mjolnir Kite.  I’d draw it out for you, but I’m technologically challenged at the moment, so I’ll have to describe it.

A Mjolnir Kite is formed when two planets make opposing Trioctile Bridges across an Opposition.  Said another way, a third planet at the far Midpoint of two planets that are Square forms a Mjolnir (Hammer of Thor in the vernacular), pointing at the third planet.  So the third planet is Trioctile to each end of the Square.  Mjolnir means Lightning, or Epiphany.  Add a fourth planet Opposite the third planet (at the near Midpoint of the two Square planets), and you have a Mjolnir Kite, shifting the focus to the fourth planet (the “top” of the kite).

Now, add two more planets, one Sign away from the third planet, on either side.  Since these will both be Quincunx to the fourth planet, they’ll form a Finger of God (meaning Pay Attention!) focused on the fourth planet.  No pressure, but the combination sure lights up the fourth planet!

The Full Moon is at the apex of the Finger of God and the Mjolnir Kite, hence the emphasis on Instinct.

We consider the Moon to have three levels of operation.  First it is you variable Emotions – the way you react with anger some times and don’t care other times, when confronted with the same phenomenon.  The second level is Instinct.  Even though the stimuli are superficially similar, you react with anger when behind the stimulus is an invisible threat to your Safety, and you don’t care when there is no threat.  I always use the example of someone cutting you off in traffic, because we know it so well; in the one case they’re cutting you off because they’re angry (and possibly armed), and in the other case because they’re legitimately in a hurry.  The third level is that Lunar Energy is the glue that keeps matter from flying apart into MC-squared Energy.

But that’s not why we refer to this Full Moon as a “Maker” Moon; that’s because, other than the Mjolnir Kite, the only other Angles formed by this Full Moon are Makemake and Saturn Quintile Bridges (together creating the Finger of God).

Makemake was the God who saved the Easter Islanders from starvation after their environment was degraded, teaching them tricks like planting Seeds in the lee of rocks, where Water would condense out of the fog.  Makemake’s “Discovery” chart reeks of Manifestation.  While the name is a “coincidence,” it came into Huper Awareness at about the same time as the Maker Movement began.  If you aren’t familiar with the Maker Movement, Bing the phrase plus the name of your town, or the nearest college town.  Everywhere in the US now there are shops set up, for sharing, usually for a small membership fee, that include 3-D printers, milling machines, other fabrication tools, and folks who know how to use them and are willing to share their knowledge, so you can combine $20 computer controllers with circuitry and machinery to Manifest your inventions into hard copy.

The Quintile Bridge adds the Wondering, as the nature of a Quintile is constant Surprise, as long as we don’t freeze the Action by pretending that our Question needs an Answer.

The other two planets in the Mjolnir are Chiron and dwarf planet Chaos.  

Chiron symbolizes Despair/Discouragement (the “Unhealable Healer”) changing to Miracles when Empathy (Neutrality and Presence) is applied to the Despair (“You poor Sweetheart, you’re really bummed, aren’t you.” – it’s not a question).  How?  By Empathizing with your own Discouragement, you are no longer Identified with Discouragement, you’re now Identified with Empathy.  This is the equivalent of Changing the Subject in PIAVA – it opens up space for new information to innoculate your “stuck” space, allowing what would have been seen from the Perspective of Discouragement as Miracles.  

Rather than Disorder, dwarf planet Chaos represents Unlimited Opportunity.  Chaos is what existed before the Greek Gods came into existence.  Of course they considered themselves, like all Gods, to be the First and Only Gods.  But actually, prior to the Greek Gods there were plenty of other Gods, including many apparently-Miraculous Pyramid-Makers, most of whom were Maternally oriented.  So if Unlimited Opportunity (the infinitely deep Zero Point Field) is a bit scary for you, you can think of Chaos as the constantly shifting evolutionary realm of Mother Nature.  I know, She frightens a lot of people, with her Snakes for hair and all.  In my neighborhood, where all the kids are on Ritalin, they allow only plastic shrubbery, so She doesn’t get unruly.  If She scares you a bit, remember that you are an integral part of Nature, and since according to General Relativity the Universe has no center except for Everywhere, you are the Center of your Universe.  You can Manifest whatever you Want.  If you Believe you can.  Go easy.  Expand your Want Universe by two or three percent at a time; double or nothing will often leave you with nothing.

So you can see, this is a pretty big deal.  That leaves Saturn, the other corner of the Finger of God.  Saturn means The Most Important Thing.  

So here at the Full Moon the basic message is that The Most Important Thing is Owning more of your Power as the Master Co-Creator that you actually are.  As Marianne says…

“It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.  Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.  There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  —Marianne Williamson, Return to Love

One other indication – the Venus-Mars Conjunction Opposes Chiron and completes a Chaos T-Square.  The Conjunction is not an Initiation; the Initiation occurred last February at 2 Aries, “What a joke, those Hupers.”  This is the Confidence-Builder phase of the triple Conjunction.

In order to avoid Overwhelm by the vastness of the Possibilities, we need to use All of our Skills.  It’s not enough to PIAVA and hope for the best, and it’s not enough to Plan and Execute.  We need to do both.  We PIAVA what we Want, Change the Subject, Pay Attention, and then Respond to the information we receive, either with a mores new PIAVA that accounts for the new information, or an Action based on the new information that moves us toward our Wants.  It won’t always work that way, but alternating PIAVA and Action will probably produce the best results here.  It’s a good opportunity to compare the scope of your PIAVAs and Actions.  If you’re PIAVAing the World but Acting only in your own back yard, or PIAVAing a small goal while Planning and Executing Globally, you may want to consider Rebalancing them.  If you’re new to PIAVA, see the “PIAVA” entry in the “Categories” list to the right.

You may not have noticed, but at least in the US, Big Ag is poisoning us for profit.  Many folks saying that we’re winning the struggle against them.  Here’s a surprise vote in that direction…

Full Moon 31.7.15 – Time to Act

Galena, Lead Sulfite, the ultimate Grouding Crystal.  Heavy, you only need a little.  Find a small Crystal and keep it in a pill capsule or a small plastic bottle; you don’t want to be handling or inhaling the Lead.  Galena collects and stores Energy that’s not ready to be used yet, so you can use it as a reservoir.

There are places in our Lives where we Hesitate to take full control because no one has given us Permission or Authority to do so.  Power is never Given, only Taken.  These are precisely the places where WE need to Give Ourselves not just Permission and Authority, but a Mandate.  We need to Take the Power.  You know what needs doing.  This Full Moon is the time to Get Started.

There are places in our Lives where we Hesitate to take full control because no one has given us Permission or Authority to do so. 

Power is never Given, only Taken. 

These are precisely the places where WE need to Give Ourselves not just Permission and Authority, but a Mandate. 

We need to Take the Power. 

You know what needs doing. 

This Full Moon is the time to Get Started.

It bears repeating.  Read it again.  And stop Hesitating.  It’s your Mission.

The Full Moon (4am PDT on 31 July – http://www.jbuss.com/tt/pdt4.htm ) is the focus of a Mjolnir Kite across the Square from Chiron to Pholus-Ixion.

The Mjolnir is formed by a third planet at the Far Midpoint of two planets that make a Square – a triangle with a Square on the base and two Triociles for sides.  The Trioctile is about Insight into bringing things back into Balance.  Mjolnir is the Norwegian term for Thor’s Hammer, which isn’t so much about Destruction as about Irresistable Force; Lightning is a common metaphor.  The Hindu Vajra is very similar in meaning.  The Mjolnir is then about Epiphany – Irresistable Insights that are Life-Changing.

The Mjolnir Kite has a fourth planet Opposite the third, or at the Near Midpoint of the Square.  The third planet is the Focus of the Mjolnir, but the fourth planet is the Focus of the Mjolnir Kite.  The Insights and Epiphany pertain to the issues raised by the Square.  The two planet in Opposition provide information about how the Epiphany is revealed.

In this case, the Moon is the Focus of the Mjolnir Kite, and the Opposition is the Full Moon itself – the Epiphany will be revealed through Illumination, Brightly.  No more through a glass darkly here.  The Square joins Chiron – Despair and Miracle – with the Pholus-Ixion Conjunction.  Ixion is about Unconscious Commitment to the point of pathology, and Pholus is about Responsibility to the point of Obsession.  Few of us are willing to let our Ixion out of the cage in the back room.  But if we do, and Take Full Responsibility (not Blame, which looks backward for Cause, but Responsibility, which looks forward for Impact) for it, Miracles await.

Confused?  Good – first stage of Growth, eh?

What are you Discouraged about?  That’s where your Mission is, and that’s where the Miracles are hiding.  You came here to do this, and it takes a whole bunch of Courage to Commit so strongly to what – because there’s no Support, it’s all your project – feels like a Suicide Mission.  Your Support will fall in line after you Take Full Responsibility and Commit – but you’ll be continually Teaching, because your Support has its own Mission that’s tangential to yours.  You can’t just delegate; you need to continue to monitor and stay fully involved.

Chaos Opposes Pholus-Ixion; there is Unlimited Potential here for those who are willing to risk Full Commitment.  Chiron T-Squares this Opposition…

Very scary but Miraculous results if you risk it.  Don’t expect easy going or early success; in fact any success will be partial.  You aren’t in this to succeed; you’re in it because it’s Who You Are.

The Full-Moon and Chaos-Pholus-Ixion Oppositions are Octile and Trioctile to one another, forming a Trioctile Box.

Box or Rectangular Configurations like the Mystic or Golden Rectangle (with Trine and Sextile sides) are all about the Energy in the Oppositions.  The Trioctile Box is about Adjustment, Balance, and Insight.

Giving us emphasis on both the Illumination aspect of the Full Moon and the Full Responsibility-Unlimited Scope aspect of Chaos-Pholus-Ixion, which multiplies the Power of the Mjolnir Kite.

Not only that, but the Opposition between Chaos and Pholus-Ixion, along with the Opposition between Uranus-Eris and Haumea (Rebirth as a result of the Revelation of what’s been Hidden – which is evolving into the first half of 2016), form a Golden Rectangle.  Golden Rectangles are about Grace – if we’re willing to immerse ourselves in the Oppositions.  In other words…

There is information we don’t have yet, and which we may not have until well into 2016.  Rather than wait for the information, you want to Trust your Instincts now, and get started now.  You really do know what your bottom line is, what to you is The Most Important Thing.  That’s all you really need to know.  What do want to Change, and what do you want it to look like after you Change it?  You know that much very well.

Saturn (The Most Important Thing) is Stationary on 1 August at 11pm PDT (http://www.jbuss.com/tt/pdt23.htm ).

There are two aspects to that.  First, where would you deploy them if you had the Resources you need.  And second, what is it that stops you from having those Resources?  Your Desires might seem Selfish, but they aren’t.  Selfish is what people called you because they were afraid of your Passion, and because their Ego was Competing with you.  If you believed you were Selfish then they could preserve their sense of superiority.  This is what Ixion is about – Selfish.  Selfish as an epitaph that slows you down, and Selfish as a Full Commitment to set everything else aside and Focus on your Most Important Thing.

So we need to drop any Shame or Hesitation we feel about Wanting what we’ve always Wanted – those are the Resources we need to Create our Most Important Thing.  Who will be upset with you if you put your own Wants first, ahead of theirs?  It’s not that they are holding you back; it’s your Limiting Beliefs about what will happen if you jet ahead.  Holding back isn’t an option any more; you’ll just have to find out what will really happen.  It’ll probably be quite different from what you imagine – our Limiting Beliefs are like that.

Fear, Challenge, Truth, Miracle

What a start for my day.  Soulspeak defines Yintegrity for us…

https://soulspeak2013.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/at-the-table-bare-bones-and-divinity/

And while Soulspeak “does not judge,” do I ever come up lacking in my own eyes!  As I read her post my mouth hangs open and my body shakes, as it’s so clear to me how frightened I am to be truly Open to Yintegrity.  I’m not Judging either, but what a literally Awe-inspiring road map to the Future.

And what an introduction to next year’s Initiation of Uranus (our Soul’s Voice) by Eris (Healing Denial)!  They’re now three and a quarter Degrees apart and closing.  The Initiation occurs on 9 June 2016 at 24 Aries, “Blown inward by the wind, the curtains of an open window take the shape of a cornucopia.”  As we’ll see, the 24 June 2015 Chiron Station chart, which we’re Living right now, opens this Cornucopia wide.  We’ve been referring to the Chiron Station as occurring on 23 June, but in my time zone it actually occurs on 24 June, at half-past 4am PDT ( http://www.jbuss.com/tt/pdt4.htm ).

At the same time, Soulspeak’s post is so Skillful that it doesn’t drop me into Discouragement, which would be so easy with Chiron Stationary. 

The Chiron Station chart is an eyeful.  Before we comment, let’s just list the main Configurations…

• The Grand Cross joins Chiron, Chaos, Lilith, and Pholus-Ixion
• The Kite focuses on Chaos, with Uranus-Eris and Jupiter at the shoulders
• Adding Haumea to the Kite gives us five sixths of a Grand Sextile, with 22 Aquarius at the Vacancy, “A rug is placed on the floor of a nursery to allow children to play in comfort and warmth“
• Haumea and Jupiter also form the base of a Finger of God, which creates a Diamond Star, focused on Chiron
• A Quincunx Box links the Chiron-Lilith Opposition to the Opposition between Haumea and Uranus-Eris
• Ceres, Out of Bounds, makes a Mjolnir across the Chaos-Lilith Square
• Adding the asteroids Atlantis and Achilles, which Elizabeth suggests, creates a Mjolnir to Chaos across the Square between Ceres and Atlantis-Achilles
• That creates a Mjolnir Kite focused on Pholus-Ixion, and a Mjolnir Diamond Star focused on Chaos

Lots to chew on there.  Let’s start from the bottom.  We’ve a couple of new Configurations…

A Kite is formed by a fourth planet at the Midpoint between two of the three planets in a Grand Trine.  A Mjolnir Kite is formed by a fourth planet opposite the focus of the Mjolnir.  A Mjolnir, recall, is formed by a third planet at the far Midpoint of a Square, so that each end of the Square is Trioctile to the third planet (which is the focus).  The Mjolnir was Thor’s Hammer, and many folks refer to a Mjolnir as a Hammer of Thor, reflecting it’s geometric similarity to a Finger of God.  Thor’s Hammer was capable of breaking through the most persistent Limitations.  In Hindu Mythology, the Vajra has a similar function.  The concise keyword is Lightning, and we commonly translate a Mjolnir as Epiphany.

A Diamond Star is formed when a Finger of God points at the focus of a T-Square and the combination creates a “bowl of Grace” or web of Trines and Sextiles Bridging the base of the T-Square.  A Mjolnir Diamond Star is formed when a Mjolnir points at the focus of a T-Square and the combination creates a “bowl of Insight and Balance” or web of Octiles and Trioctiles Bridging the base of the T-Square.  My camera and computer still aren’t speaking to one another, so I can’t draw you a picture, alas.

The asteroid Achilles is a Jupiter Trojan asteroid, meaning that it sits in a stable spot in Jupiter’s orbit and hence takes twelve years to loop the Zodiac.  Achilles was a hero of the Trojan War, which was initiated as a result of the Gods (especially Paris, who was in charge of the fiasco) trying to patch up the Egos of the Goddesses who were offended by Eris’s Golden Apple, rather than dealing directly with their Vanity.  You know the part about Achilles’s heel; it was Paris who fired the heel shot.  Another introduction to the Eris-Uranus Initiation that dominates the next twelve months.

Atlantis is a “Mars-Crossing” asteroid that takes less than three and a half years to complete a loop.  I think of Atlantis as the epitome of left-brain hubris, exactly the sort of pseudoscience that’s killing our Planet as we speak.  “Duh, gawrsh, Thag, look this Machine do!” as Gary Larson might have put it.  Both Achilles and Atlantis are Stationary within the next few weeks, both at 7 Scorpio.  Achilles already Initiated Atlantis, back in January, at 15 Scorpio, “Children playing around five mounds of sand.”  Something about education there.

Atlantis-Achilles (Healing the failure of Wisdom to control technology) Squares Ceres (Sustainability); no Challenge there – not!  But the Mjolnir points to Chaos – Unlimited Potential.  And the Mjolnir Kite points back to Pholus-Ixion; the obvious necessity to take complete Responsibility for our Commitments.  Meanwhile the senior Configuration, the Mjolnir Diamond Star, focuses on Chaos.  The essence of a Mjolnir Diamond Star is Insight and Rebalancing.  A summary of all this might be…

There are some sticky wickets here, but the Sky is no Limit if we’re Open to Learning about the implications of our Beliefs and making Adjustments to bring ourselves and the World back into Balance.  Remember that the Universe is always in Balance; when you are Out of Balance, the compensating Energies reside in the Unconscious.  We can often Rebalance by Asking ourself Who Am I, taking the opposite of the words that result, and moving five percent in the direction of those opposites.

We can attribute the fact that I’m Awe-struck and Inspired by Soulspeak’s naming of the Energy of the day, rather than Overwhelmed and Discouraged by it, to the Diamond Star under the Chiron T-Square.  A Diamond Star softens the impact of a T-Square.  What’s my bottom-line takeaway from all this?  Well, the dominant experience was Awe and Shaking – Fear that was not Overwhelming.  These Feelings contrasted with the Control and Self-Assurance I prefer to Feel.  The opposite of Awe would be Unimpressed, so I need to move 5% toward just accepting Miracles as everyday occurrences.  The opposite of Control would be Surrender, so I need to PIAVA more and Plan-Do less.  The opposite of Shaking would be Unperturbed, so I need to Expect to be moving a little beyond my Comfort Zone all the time.  The opposite of Smug would be Scared, so I need to take a few more Risks.  Or something like that.
