Better put out a dozen extra place settings. The Ancestors are coming for dinner, and they’ll be staying for a while. The 19 February (8am PST) Full-Moon Sun, on the Cusp of Pisces, is joined by the Initiation of Klotho (Beginning a New Timeline) by OR10 (Intrusive Memories) at 4 Pisces, “Heavy car traffic on a narrow isthmus linking two seashore resorts.” The Klotho-OR10 Cycle runs about four years. The Initiation itself occurs 18 February (7:30 pm PST).
It would Behoove for us to Welcome the Ancestors. Even though we may not be able see them, their Vibes are higher than ours, which means that they can play tricks with Matter when Displeased or Misjudged. It will be excellent Practice anyway, Reverting all of our Judgments about them. It’s more than likely that they Judged you, since most Ancestors have Expectations for their Spawn, while Spawn tend toward Rebellion. So we’ll have to Intuit what their Positive Intentions were, and Honor them for that, instead of Judging them.
If that’s Confusing, just Ask them – “Why did you do that, anyway?” Once we Understand where they were coming from, they might even Ask us how we see things Differently. If they don’t, no worries, since this is “only” our Imagination (if you haven’t read Robert Moss’s The Three Only Things,” this would be a good time). We may as well tell them anyway, since we’ll be Obsessing on it and they can read our mind. If we ever want to get to Unconditional Love – a Precondition for Peace, Grace, 5D, a rewarding Love Life, and low-interest Credit – we’ll need to Revert all of our Judgments, so we may as well start here.
The Full Moon makes a T-Square (Challenge) to Juno, which represents the Edges of Consciousness, or Growth in Consciousness. Reverting Judgment is an excellent way to Raise our Consciousness. In addition to being very useful now, with all of these Ancestors visiting for the next few years, it’s very timely because the Juno T-Square is a Diamond Star, so it’s Self-Resolving. Self-Resolving Challenges are the best kind – we just need to be careful to Learn from them, rather than taking them for Granted or using them to fluff up our Ego.
A Diamond Star is composed of a T-Square (the red triangle, meaning a “Learning Opportunity,” aka Challenge) and a Finger of God (the grey-green wedge, meaning Pay Attention!) both pointing at the same place. As you can see in the chart below, this results in a web of blue lines below the long red line (Opposition and base of the T-Square), and blue lines symbolize Grace. So the Challenge Resolves itself Gracefully.
Well, usually Gracefully. In this chart, the base of the Finger of God – the source of the Grace – is very complicated, so we could still screw it up. The Grace derives from…
♥ Asteroids Aletheia and Pallas, Truth and Boundaries.
Both of which are Stationary, aka Strong. Pallas’s Station is Exact 18 February (8:30 am PST) in 30 Libra, and Aletheia’s 23 February (3am PST) in 28 Libra.
For Benign Ancestors, we need only relax our Boundaries against things we can’t see. If they want through and you won’t let them, they’ll just escalate and make it more difficult to ignore them. Invisible doesn’t mean Not Real. You may need to Suspend Disbelief, or shift from Either/Or to Both/And, to find this Truth.
For Abusive Ancestors, Boundaries are very tricky. You can’t let them Walk all over you (or worse) again, but you have to find a way to Meet them as Equals, and there may still be a lot of Emotion in between. We’ve been practicing this a lot over the last several years, as OR10 has been traveling with Nessus (Abuse, Privilege). While Ancestors can no longer Abuse you Physically, they can still Abuse you Emotionally.
Poor-Sweethearting, Tapping, Kegels, and various kinds of PIAVAing (leave a comment if any of these terms is new) can be very helpful, but our goal has to be more than Overcoming our Emotions. At some point we need to Move Into those Emotions. It may help to Locate them in our Body, and put as much of our Attention as we can muster into that place, and hold it there until it moves on its own. Eventually we’ll need to Love them into Neutrality.
Trust that it is Possible to set a Boundary that’s fully Non-Judgmental and fully Protective. But it may take a lot of Trial-and-Partial-Success (discovering what doesn’t work is a significant Success) and a lot of work Self-Loving all manner of our own Emotions to get there.
♥ The Stellium (group of three or more planets) of dwarf planet Ixion (Natural Genius for which we have been Punished), asteroid Eurydike (Trust), and dwarf planets Pholus (Being Fully Responsive without Sacrificing Self-Sovereignty), and Quaoar (Survival Instincts).
We’ve been working with this one already. It’s easy to dismiss Survival Instincts when Social Convention is more Powerful – we don’t want to be Chicken Little. That’s how Global Warming gets Denied. The larger point is that each of us is Endowed with a Unique Genius, and when these many Unique Genii are assembled in a Team, we can accomplish Anything. But overcoming our Programmed and quite possibly Karmic Resistance to our Genius is one of our most Challenging tasks in Life.
Ixion is still in Sagittarius – the other three Players are in Capricorn. Sagittarius is about Burning Away Untruths. Ixion was in Scorpio from 1965-1995; that’s when we were most likely to have been Punished. It’s been in Sagittarius since 1996, and we’ve been working on Letting Ourself Be Who We Really are ever since. Slowly at first, then gradually accumulating Self-Trust. A year from now Ixion moves into Capricorn (Just Fix It) – we’ve got about a year to practice letting our True Genius peek out.
It’s been Locked Up for a long time, so it’ll be clumsy when it Emerges. We have to be gentle with it, Allowing it to appear Inept at first, till it grows Accustomed to the Light.
♥ As the orange triangle on the chart above maps out, the Moon-Juno Square is the root of a Mjölnir (Epiphany) to the 18 February (3am PST) Saturn-Venus Initiation. Venus-Saturn Cycles in general are about Reviewing our Values. The ultimate Source of our Values is the Heart, but we Betray ourself to the extent that we Allow our Mentality or our Programming to direct our Life. So each Venus-Saturn Cycle brings us the Choice to either Betray our Programming or Thinking and move toward the Heart, or to Betray our Heart again and Revalidate our Programming and Rationalizations.
Any Cycle is very Strong at its Initiation. This Venus-Saturn Cycle lasts till December. Its Initiation Degree informs us about its specific nature – 17 Capricorn, “A repressed woman finds a psychological release in nudism.” Sounds like an excellent adjunct to help us Finish Stripping the artificial Costumes and Masks and Subterfuges that hide our Unique Genius.
One of the things we can do Safely to aid this Coming-Out process for our Ingenue, is to Stop Judging, Doubting, or Punishing Ourselves for our Genius! If we can do that, She can step forward with more Confidence when She does. Of course She may be a He, but more likely She’ll be Both/And. If She’s still in hiding and you’re not sure Who She Is, no worries, just Stop Judging, Doubting, or Punishing Yourself for Anything! That’s where we have to go eventually anyway!
♥ There’s a whole lot more in this Full Moon chart, including a second Diamond Star! To be continued…
