Oh That Mischievous Jupiter

The asteroid that means Transcendence (Bee-Zed, 28 February 2020), the dwarf planet that means Intuition (Asbolus, 1 March) and the dwarf planet that means Unlimited Potential (Chaos, 6 March) are all Strong (Stationary) just now.  To me it Feels, very subtly, like Ancient Habits Falling Away.

There may be Challenges to our Judgments (T-Square to asteroid Hopi from Stationary Chaos Opposite Stationary Bee-Zed), especially to our Rejection of our Forbidden Genius (Bee-Zed Conjunct dwarf planet Ixion), the Unique Skill that we were born with but which we can’t exercise without Transcending Social Norms – and/or our great Grandmother’s Inherited Taboos.

We could also be Experiencing some Difficulty Feeling Comfortable with the way the World is Changing (T-Square to dwarf planet Chariklo [Self-Doubt and Self-Confidence] and Saturn-Pluto) and the Unfamiliar Roles we’re being Called to Learn in order to Adapt to the Changes (asteroid Karma Conjunct Venus Opposing dwarf planet Haumea [Rebirth] in the root of the T-Square).

Be especially on the Alert for Self-Doubt (Chariklo).  When you Feel it, Stop and Ask yourself, “How would I be Feeling if I was Confident about this?”  Then spend Time with that Feeling of Confidence.  If you feel like your Guidance is on vacation, Call it back, but don’t Expect the same kind of Help you got before.  The Focus now is on our Rebirth (Finger of God to Haumea), so we need to Embrace Beginner’s Mind.  Let the World be a bit Different now.

Even though the major focus of the Zeitgeist has Changed from Spiritual Assistance to Bravery, you’ve spent the last 35 years Learning how to use that Spiritual Assistance, and it won’t Go Away unless you Let It, by Forgetting it.  How does it Feel if you Bravely Trust that Spiritual Assistance is Still There, it’s just more Transparent?  Spirit is just Reminding you that It’s Always Been There – and Always Will Be.

Big News – asteroid Bee-Zed has a name now!  When new Space Rocks are discovered, they get a code; this one was “2015 BZ509” – hence it’s nickname Bee-Zed.  But then once they’ve been known long enough for observers to understand their orbit, the discoverer or discoveress gets to give it a “real” name.  Bee-Zed is now Ka’epaoka’awela,” meaning something like “Isn’t Jupiter Tricky!” in pidgen Hawaiian.  Ka’epaoka’awela is gravitationally locked to Jupiter, so its orbit is the same length as Jupiter’s, 12 years, but its normal state is Retrograde and its orbit irregular.

As much fun as Ka’epaoka’awela is to say, it’s not so easy to write, so we’ll stick with Bee-Zed for now.  If you’re looking for it in an online ephemeris, you may need to use the Minor Planet Number it had before it got it’s BZ code, which is 514107.

Here’s the chart for the Bee-Zed and Chaos Stations…

At the 28 February Bee-Zed Station (1pm PST) the Moon is at 7 Taurus and Conjunct Uranus.  The Moon crosses Sedna on 1 March (5am PST) and crosses Stationary Chaos on 3 March (10am PST).  By the 6 March Chaos Station (4am PST), the Moon will be at 2 Leo. 

The 1 March Asbolus Station (7am PST) is at 20 Gemini.

♥ After 2 March we should see a lowering of the general Anxiety level, with folks becoming less jumpy (Mars returns In-Bounds at 10pm PST while in 11 Capricorn; it’s been Out-of-Bounds since 9 February while in 26 Sagittarius).

♥ 3 March should bring Blessings, as Unconscious Habits that inhibit our Soul Connection and our Receptivity to Abundance come to an end over the next several years (at 4pm PST Uranus [Soul] Initiates Atropos [Ending Timelines], starting a new 3½-year Cycle in 4 Taurus, “The Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow: Riches that come from linking the celestial and the earthly nature.”).

We normally speak about the Pattern-Ending asteroid (Atropos) as being about Conscious Pattern-Ending, because whenever it’s Illuminated we have the Opportunity to do just that.  But in this case, we expect it to signify the End of Habits that inhibit our Soul Connection and our Receptivity to Abundance.  Of course the more Conscious Encouragement we can give to this process, the better.

If you have a birth planet near 4 Taurus, this should be particularly beneficial for you.  For instance, one friend of mine has their symbol for Unlimited Potential (dwarf planet Chaos, which is Stationary as we speak, emphasizing the whole process Strongly) there, in their (10th) House of Community, implying that over the next several years they’ll be Challenged to Accept more Grace than they’re used to Receiving.

Manifestation New Moon

The 23 February 2020 (7:30 am PST) New Moon chart, which is prominent for the next several weeks, is pretty much a repeat of the chart of the 19 February Five Moons Enhanced Creativity astroevent (see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2020/02/16/five-moons-enhanced-creativity/).

One emphasis will be on Manifestation (a Diamond Star or Self-Resolving Challenge to dwarf planet Makemake), although we’ll be Asked to Take a Great Deal of Responsibility for our own Negativity whenever the Manifestation isn’t Effortless (the Makemake Diamond Star Opposes Chiron-Lilith [Overcoming Victimhood] and Squares the Nodes [it’s a Life Lesson for us], with Mars, Veritas, Pholus, and Quaoar on the South Node [We Have to Face Facts about whether we’re Being Fully, Proactively Responsive to our Survival Instincts]).

Remember that Responsibility isn’t Blame.  Blame is about looking at the Past to Assign Fault, while Responsibility is about looking to the Future to Improve Outcomes.

If we’re Listening, our Inner Voices will be telling us (dwarf planet OR10 [Intrusive Memories] closely Conjunct [Merged With] the New Moon, at the focus of a Finger of God [Pay Attention!]) which Held Emotions – the ones we’d rather Die than Feel – are Inhibiting our Creativity (the South-Node Stellium [Karma] is part of two Tricolor Configurations [Healing Opportunities]), especially our Creativity at Enhancing our Vitality (the Challenge [Square] side of the Tricolor is Uranus [Soul] Square to Varuna [Life Force]).

Held Emotion is a synonym for Karma – our Ego has a severe Allergic Reaction to certain Feelings or Scenarios, often those that were associated with Past Deaths or other serious Traumas.  By and large we’ve Suppressed the original Traumas, so we’re just left with a serious Aversion to anything that reminds us of the Triggering Event.  That is, Negative Karma is “just” unhealed PTSD.

We need to Reframe our Reaction from “I would rather Die than Feel (or Do) That!” to “I would rather Die than Feel (or Do) That!” – in other words, it’s not really about the Emotion or Scenario, it’s about Identity:  Letting Go of the crippling Karma requires an Ego Death.  We need to Recognize that “I’d rather Die than Feel that!” is never Present-Moment, so it’s not only Safe to metaphorically Let Ourself Go Ahead and Die, but it’s our only Path to Liberation from our Karmic Chains.

Tapping can be very useful in this endeavor – “Even though I’d Rather Die than Feel/Do [this or that], I Deeply and Completely Love and Accept Myself.”

It will be better if we forgo trying to Analyze exactly what it is we’re Resisting, just to Acknowledge our Resistance (we Trigger the Trine [Grace] side of a Tricolor, and heal the Square [Challenge] side of it, by making sure we Avoid Analyzing the Quincunx [Curiosity] side of it).

Here’s the New Moon chart…

In the Major Tricolor [Square-Quincunx-Trine] here, the Square [Challenge] is Uranus-to-Varuna [Soul Granting or Withholding Vitality], the Trine [Grace] is Uranus-to-South-Node-Stellium [Honesty about what’s Stressing Us], and the Quincunx [Mandatory Curiosity] is South-Node-Stellium-to-Varuna [Stress on our Life Force].  So we need to Acknowledge the Stress on our Vitality, without trying to Understand it.  We can Identify it suffixed with “…or something like that,” or we can just Poor-Sweetheart ourself – “You Poor Sweetheart, your Life Force Feels Low, doesn’t it” and not worry about Why it might be.

In the Minor Tricolor [Square-Quincunx-Sextile], the Uranus-to-Varuna Square is the same [Lack of Vitality or Difficulty Manifesting], but the Sextile [Grace after we take the First Step] is New-Moon-OR10-to-Uranus [Recognizing that those Intrusive Memories are sent by the Soul to Help us Heal] and the Quincunx is New-Moon-OR10-to-Varuna [the Intrusive Memories will Inform our Healing – but only if we don’t try to Pin Them Down Intellectually].  The Issues Involved in these Tricolor Configurations are too complex to be Grokked by the Dualistic Mind, so we need to Avoid trying to Pin Them Down like we would a Dead Butterfly.

♥ There are two other minor but potentially Meaningful astroevents occurring on 25 February.

♥ Our Hidden and Forbidden Genius (dwarf planet Ixion) has graduated from a quarter-century of Shedding its Prohibitions (Ixion in Sagittarius), and will now begin a new 25 years of Doing Serious Work in the World (Ixion in Capricorn).  This is an Important Milestone, as our Forbidden Genii are Exactly the Skills we all need to use if we are to Succeed in Keeping our Planet Habitable.

It will be a halting Beginning, but a Beginning nonetheless.  We will have to go back into our Prohibitions a couple of times to Retrieve the Tools of our Genius Trade, but as Jack and Dean would have put it, we are On The Road.  From 4 May till 10 September 2020, and from 16 July to 12 September 2021, Ixion Retrogrades back into Sagittarius.

♥ Our Skill at Squelching Self-Sabotaging Habits becomes much more Down-to-Earth (asteroid Atropos enters and crosses Taurus) between 25 February and 6 May 2020 (no Atropos Retrograde periods in Taurus).  We’ve been Toying with (Visualizing, really) Changing Negative Patterns, but now we’ll get down to Business and Jettison them for good.

To jumpstart this process, Frequently put your Attention on How You’ll Feel when you’ve Let Go Of these No-Longer-Welcome Companions, including any and all Habits and Addictions you wish to Shed, no matter how Tenacious they’ve been in the Past.  The Power is now on your side.  And while these Habits are Destructive to you now, they served you well at some point in the Past, so finding Gratitude for their Service will also be helpful.  You don’t need to know When or Why, just know that you wouldn’t have them now if they weren’t Powerfully Useful to some version of “you” at some point.

There will be a couple of Red-Letter Days (more likely, the Week prior to them) during this process…

• Around 6 March, we will be able to bring the Full Power of our Soul to bear on these Obsolete Patterns (Atropos crossing Uranus).  Take advantage of this – queue up your Most Persistent Curses for Exorcism during the first week of March.

• Around 1 May, we will be able to Tackle our Greatest Fears and put them in their place on the wall next to the rest of our Big-Game Trophies (Atropos crossing dwarf planet Sedna).  Tapping and Kegels work very well for Grounding ourself in the Presence of Skin-Crawling Fear.

♥ Finally, we’re  entering the Grip of a couple of Strong Energies.  Our Intuition will be very Strong (dwarf planet Asbolus Stationary) until 1 March, and our Skill at Transcending whatever we are Done With (asteroid Bee-Zed Stationary) will also be very Strong over the same period.
