Rest Is Great But You Could Hold the Knockout Drops

Astrologically we’re in between Portals, so we’re up for a bit of a Rest. Experientially, at least hereabouts, it feels more like we’re Recovering from a Extreme Exertion, the kind where you don’t feel Rested till a week later. I mean, when I Sleep nine hours several days in a row, shouldn’t I feel Awake during the other fifteen? I’m a Biased Observer here, since the Biggest Challenge of last week’s New Moon chart was a dead ringer for the Biggest Challenge in my natal chart – same Degrees, different Planets (some of them) – and the New Moon’s second-Biggest Challenge sat on my natal Moon.

Which doesn’t Explain why most everyone else I know is still Groggy too. So I’ll go ahead and speak as if some of my Experience has been Universal, which of course is always true on some level. The signatures of Major Ego Death smell stronger than the local paper mill – I’m glad someone here seems to remember how to drive. I know I’ve taken all the correct turns, and this is my own neighborhood, but nothing looks familiar. Was that there before? Lots of things I could or should be doing, and I’ve had plenty of Sleep, but all I want to Do is Nap. Or Space Out. It’s an Effort to Do anything but that, even when I can. Who the Hell Am I, Anyway?

Meaning that we’ve been through Big Changes, as befits the astrodetails of the Big New Moon Challenges.¹ While dancing with several Physical Challenges, I’ve Discovered that to Find Healing I’m going to have to Seek Beyond the Current Lifetime. So while I have Personal Experience with neither Afterlife Specialist Dr. Scott Taylor nor Psychic Mark Anthony (who introduces Dr. Taylor), I plan to watch Dr. Taylor’s free 6 April 2023 presentation on Discover the Wonders of the Bi-Location Phenomenon, which promises to Explore “the mysteries of the non-physical universe.” I’m mentioning that here in case anyone else is called to it.

¹ T-Square to Mars OOB (Exaggerated Action) Merged with Chaos OOB (Unlimited Potential Amplified) and Ganesa OOB (Lord God Ganesh, Remover of Obstacles, on Steroids), from Ceres (Sustainability) Debating (Opposite) the New Moon Merged with Heracles (Replacing the Patriarchy). And Pan (The Godhead of Nature) Merged with Sedna (Converting Fear to Power) Square to Saturn (The Most Important Thing) Merged with Damocles (Accountability) and Icarus (In Ambition, Moderation Wins).

And while we’re at it, Marie Manucheri invites us to join her in the free 10-14 April 2023 Psychic & Intuitive Abilities Summit. She says, “You’ve heard me talk about logic versus insight. Knowing the difference – and when to use each – assists all of us in raising our vibration and unlocking our magnificence so we can access our unique intuitive abilities and answers to some of our deepest questions.  If you’d like to learn more, I hope you’ll join me for my session, ‘Logic or Insight? The Power is in Knowing the Difference’ at The Shift Network’s 2023 Psychic & Intuitive Abilities Summit next month.” Register free at https://psychicintuitiveabilitiessummit.com/. I don’t know most of the other speakers, but I don’t want to miss the sessions by Robert Moss and David Spangler.

While studying the Relationship between the Mars-Chaos-Ganesa T-Square and my natal T-Square, and in the Spirit of Nothing Changes Until We Accept It Exactly As It Is, it’s become Clear that it would Behoove me to Let Go Of my Judgment of the Patriarchy, which I’m Aspiring to Do. In the context of this, my favorite magazine is Permaculture Design Magazine, the latest issue of which includes articles on…

• The Human Ego-Predicament: Overshoot and the Population Conundrum
• Dismissal of ‘Population Alarmism’ Is Rooted in Pronatalist Ideology
• On the Growth Ahead: The Final Doubling

…and book reviews of…

• The Need to Be Whole: Patriotism and the History of Prejudice
• Bright Green Lies – How the Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It

All of which Reminds me of something I Learned several years back at the Global Earth Repair Conference, that while the CO₂ Cycle might Impact some 10% or less of the Earth’s Surface Temperature, the H₂O Cycle Impacts more like 70-80% of the Earth’s Surface Temperature. We shift the H₂O Cycle by Changing Vegetation, especially Trees. The Permaculture Design Magazine articles point out that if we as a Culture Implement the full Hoped-For Conversion from Oil to Green Electricity, we’ll actually Increase our Negative Impact on Nature because of the sheer size of the Solar Farms and associated Infrastructure.

The Oligarchs often present that argument, but this is the first time I’ve seen competent environmentalists discuss it. Trees aren’t good acreage-fellows with Solar Farms, nor with Wind Farms. There are some things that can be done with shade-tolerant crops, but basically, Solar Farms and Food Crops will ultimately Compete for Sunlight, and the rest of Nature will lose out. It’s time for me to Focus my Attention on the sort of Local World that I Want to Live in, and Let the Rest of the World do the same.

The Moon is now Out of Bounds North, since 26 March (PDT 12:46 am, BST 8:46 am, IST 1:16 pm, AEST 5:46 pm), till 31 March (PDT 6:41 am, BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm, AEST 11:41 pm). If Wall Street was following the Moon Cycles like it often does, it would have crashed today. Instead, after crashing last week because of the Interest Rate Dramas – which are more Powerful than the Moon – it’s Recovering mildly.

Asteroid Pan, our astrosymbol for the OverLighting God of Nature, goes Out of Bounds (He Gets Serious About Protecting Nature) 28 March (PDT 6:41 am, BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm, AEST 11:41 pm), until 13 July 2023. He was in Taurus (relative Stability in Nature) during June and July of 2022, and again from 8 November 2022 to 30 March 2023. If you’ve been in California, Mississippi, or several other places, that was some pretty Horrific Stability.

On 30-31 March (PDT 4:33 pm 30th, BST 12:33 am 31st, IST 5:03 am 31st, AEST 9:33 am 31st) Pan enters Gemini (Relative Instability and Change in Nature) again, till 8 June 2023. Maybe those “Stable” Floods over the recent Winter indicate that the Drought in the Western US is finished. “Holding our Breath” for that isn’t a very Powerful Strategy, but it might work.

We’re already under the Influence of a Strong Emphasis on Assistance with our Manifestations (asteroid Artesian Out of Bounds, and Stationary until 31 March-1 April, PDT 6pm 31st, BST 2am 1st, IST 6:30 am 1st, AEST 11am 1st) in 13 Leo, Compulsion to Let Go of All Attachment to Personal Identity, which Feels like what’s going on. It Feels Natural, though, so far just Relaxed, not Scary or Effortful, and part of Who the Hell Am I, Anyway? but not in any Negative sense. It Feels so Natural that I’m barely Aware of it, though when I Inquire, I definitely Notice a Big Difference from last week.

So this week is an Excellent Opportunity to really Get Serious with our PIAVAs and other Manifestations, Monitoring our State of Mind to censor any Habitual Nay-Saying or other Limitations to our Owning What We Want. Breathe Deeply both In and Out through your Nose, to Trigger your Vagus Nerve and qwell Fight-Flight-Freeze. Monitor your Emotional State to stay Attuned to Peace and Joy, because your Emotional State while you’re Manifesting is what you’ll Manifest More Of. We Cleared Away a huge load of Karmic Limitation under that Mars OOB-Chaos OOB-Ganesa OOB Heracles New Moon, so don’t Hold Back on your Wants.

Next week, 2-9 April, we’re back in the thick of it with more Karmic Clearing.

Citrine, Quartz tinted Yellow or Orange by Iron Impurities, is a Powerful Support for any Second (I Want) and Third (I Will) Chakra Pursuits, be they Biological, Emotional, or matters of Intent. Spend a few minutes Gazing into this Wand with your Eyes Relaxed before you Focus your Attention on your PIAVAs or other Manifestation techniques. If any particular Swirl or Whoosh or Mirror or Burst or Streak starts to Draw you Into the Crystal, Let Yourself be Taken right Inside as you Begin your Meditation…

Back when there was still a Radio Shack, they used to sell a very powerful little hand microscope with a light inside, about the size and shape of a long pack of cigarettes. Being among the harder of Minerals, Sand Grains are often mostly Quartz. I used to collect little jars of Sand whenever I was near a Beach, and the scope magnified enough to see the colors and other details on every tiny Grain of Sand. Some friends of ours Lived for a while on the Oregon Coast, and when I got home with a handful of Sand from their Beach and looked at it with the scope, It Was All Citrine! It was Mind-Blowing. Several times I took a small collection of gorgeous Crystals, along with the microscope and a few Sand samples, to show to children that were being home-schooled in groups. After one of them looked at the Sand through the scope, that was it. They ignored the larger Crystals and queued up to peer through the tiny window at the Magnified Sand!
