It helps a lot to understand the twelve astrological Signs if you have some good Stories about how they fit together.
For instance, one Metaphor is that each Sign is a Reaction to the previous one. Hupers love to stretch a good thing till they get sick of it, and this aspect of the Signs facilitates that. That Metaphor works like this, or something like that…
- Aries symbolizes a New, completely Intuitive project. By and large, Aries has no idea what they’re doing till much later.
- Taurus, having tired of having no answer for Why are you doing that? (when I was in my pesky Twos, my father would answer that with Just for a minute! – very frustrating), tries to nail everything down.
- Gemini, having run out of nails, rushes off in the opposite direction, making everything Tentative (though Gemini may not realize it’s Tentative in each moment).
- Cancer, fearing flibbertigibbetude, has Compassion for the “victims” of Gemini’s Indecision.
- Leo is tired of taking care of everybody else, so starts taking care of itself.
- Virgo is alarmed at how self-centered they suddenly appear to be, and backs off.
- Libra, Confused about whether Leo or Virgo is right on, Asks around.
- Scorpio, aghast at what Libra appears to have taught it about Other, gets to the Bottom Line.
- Sagittarius realizes Scorpio has Heavied everyone else too much, and Lightens Up.
- Capricorn, alarmed at Sagittarius’s frivolity, gets seriously pragmatic.
- Aquarius says Enough with the Engineering, where’s the Social Dimension?
- Pisces, Feeling lost among the Aquarian masses, seeks to re-find Itself.
But the Metaphor I often use is about what’s being Built by each Sign as each contributes to a larger Construction. It goes more like this, or something like it…
- Aries starts this new Intuitive Project without thinking about the Consequences – just following an Inspiration.
- Taurus grounds the Project into Hardcopy Reality, and checks to see if it Flies or Grows Corn.
- Gemini Responds to the Imperfections of the Taurean version 1.0 by tossing out a zillion possible improvements.
- Cancer Evaluates the zillions, and estimates the impact on potential “customers.”
- Leo Pitches the design features of a Proposed version 2.0.
- Virgo Critiques the features of version 2.0 and proposes a Pilot.
- Libra Executes the Pilot and collects feedback.
- Scorpio starts over from scratch and creates version 3.0, which by now looks little like v1.0.
- Sagittarius sands off the rough patches and polishes the finish.
- Capricorn does the Quality Assurance.
- Aquarius Hypes the Product.
- Pisces mourns the Loss of the Excitement of the Project now that it’s done, and sweeps up the shop, usually without realizing that it’s preparing for what might come next.
These are rough snapshots, more Mnemonic than Prescriptive.
We symbolized Gemini as Mental Gymnastics in the previous post, more or less following the first Story above. If we look at the Journey though Gemini of the Truth of the Heart and the Truth of the Mind from the perspective of the second Model above, especially if we factor in their recent Taurean Merger, then rather than Babel (not to exclude that probability), we get something more like the following…
If you’re reading this, I imagine that your major overall Project is about getting yourself ready for 5D. I’m hoping that by now you Realize that it’s not about waiting for the “Masses” to get a clue, or for the “Bosses” to get their minds out of their bank accounts, it’s about Recognizing that…
- It’s up to Me and only Me. 5D already Exists – Can I See It? Can I Feel It? Can I Join It? 1
- The External World we see is a Mirror for the state of our own Internal Integration.
- We assist the Growth of the Planet most by finding ways to Improve our own Internal Coherence.
- We Collaborate better with External Reality when we Collaborate with all of Ourself.
Body, Mind, Emotions, Energy, Soul, Ego – they can Create so much More when they’re Collaborating rather than Fighting with one another. So the Good News we talked about in the purple portion of our first Babeldom post tells us that what we’re seeing now is a Golden Opportunity to Enjoy Collaboration between our Heart and our Mind. If they both Feel Scrambled, it’s because they’re each reaching out to suggest their zillion improvements to our Progress so far.2 They’re in a Brainstorming phase, where everyone tosses out Ideas, without Editing or Criticizing. After we’ve let all the Ideas sink in and slept on them, we can begin to Rank, Choose, Combine, Winnow, and then Employ the best Ideas.
Marilyn Raffaele’s Onenessofall post today puts the Unholy noise into Perspective…

“Remember not to judge by appearances because you who are spiritually evolved came to earth fully aware of and prepared for these present times. It is imperative to continue trusting that what you witness in the outer scene is necessary to the unfolding of the Divine plan. Those observing and judging through three dimensional filters are unable to understand this.
“It is important to understand that the people of earth, both past and present have created and continue to create a three dimensional collective consciousness that has for eons influenced everyone and everything in the world. As increasingly more individuals awaken and shift into a higher state of consciousness they are creating a new and higher collective consciousness, one that will manifest as a more evolved world. This is how the ascension process works…
“Every living thing is formed of, is an expression of, and embodies all the qualities of omnipresent Divine Consciousness. Therefore whatever a person holds as truth in their consciousness (which in reality is the one God consciousness individualized) they automatically create because consciousness as interpreted through mind is the substance of form. In reality there are no victims, just an unawareness of truth. It is as if a person has a million dollars in an account that they know nothing about and so they continue living each day in lack and limitation.”
- 1 One of the best workbooks I know of for becoming Adept at this process is the second and third chapters of Gay Hendricks’s The Big Leap, pp. 37-112.
- 2 The next Merger of Aletheia (Truth of the Heart ) and Veritas (Truth of the Mind ) occurs in 9 Scorpio on 27 November 2024, three weeks after the US election. By the second model above, this would be the Quality Assurance phase of our Project. The chart of that Conjunction suggests that it will be a very Powerful Crisis of Belief. So we’ll be adding Can I Believe It? We’ll be assaulted by Intrusive Beliefs (Gonggong naked-Square Sun), but otherwise, the major Difficulty will be a T-Square (Challenge) to Aletheia-Veritas and Juno (Growth in Consciousness) from the Opposition between Koronis and Kassandra in Aquarius (the Covid-Deniers will be out in Force) and Mars, Cyllarus Out of Bounds, Varuna OOB, and Pandora OOB in Leo. The literal downside of this is that only Hope remains as everybody else is dying, and our Task is to Grow our Consciousness during the process. Wow. Shades of 1575 Venice.
- Let’s check the Chandra Symbol for 9 Scorpio… “A hand with six fingers. Complex nature. Containing within yourself an extra spiral of self-obsession and ultimately superlative capacity. Subjecting yourself to grueling ordeals, rites of passage. Knowing that if you can eliminate your stark weakness, you can grasp hold of your boundless strength. The weakness is that you refuse to believe in yourself, and this is a hard one to uproot. You must, against the grain, find any and every possible way to get around your own adamant self-rejection. The weakness is based upon karmic past experiences in which you failed yourself. Now you assume it will happen again. So, building up strength and courage inside, toward self-overcoming, is the path. And paradoxically, in order to forge such a deepening of life-will, you must endanger yourself and expose yourself to radical crises, in order to rally to your own side and come into your truth in the midst of cutting through your falsehood; thus reclaiming the primal ground of a form of selfhood that is mutational, wildly improbable, and just could be real after all.” (https://aquaorfire.net/astrology/inside_degrees/inside_degrees.html#scorpio9)
- Once again, the Chandra Symbol is neutral relative to the planets – it describes only the Degree, not its contents. And here we have Koronis (the Omega Variant), Kassandra (a Seer who bore the curse that no one would believe her, thanks to refusing the advances of Apollo), Cyllarus (Respect for Death), and Varuna (the Life Force) dancing with it. Are we becoming Bodies with Souls, or Souls with Bodies?
