We’ve been going on at length this last week about asteroid Moira, named after the Goddess of Fate. We can rephrase that sentence as three Questions: Are we as individuals Fated to repeat the Experiences of the Great Depression and the Black Death? Is Western Civilization Fated to Collapse, like all Civilizations that came before it? Are we as a Planet Facing the inevitable End Times?
Well, in Virtual Reality we’re already doing all those things, aren’t we. Most of the time Most of us can’t tell the Difference between Present-Moment Hard-Copy Reality, and the Life-Like Holographic Fragments that our Karma constantly feeds us, and this New Moon sets us up for that Big-Time (in the 24 March 1:30 am New Moon chart at 5 Aries, Mercury [Awareness] Merges with dwarf planet OR10 [Intrusive Karmic Memories], and that’s in Pisces [Unfinished Karmic Emotional Business] to boot).
We aren’t referring to the Idiots who spout off about the Coronavirus being fake news – they’re on a whole different Bum Trip. We’re referring to the rest of us. I mean, Most of us in Former or Parallel Lives were in one Plague or another, way too many Economic Discouragements, a Civilization Collapse or two, and an End Times. As Ursula Le Guin says in Buffalo Gals, “Coyote is always Dying.” Those Experiences were Traumatic, so it’s no wonder we still Remember them vividly. Until we can watch all of those film classics with complete Detachment, we’ll continue to ReExperience their Toxic Scat.
I don’t know how many noble Trees have been sacrificed to the philosophical struggle between Fate and Free Will, but I can assure you it was a Waste. Fate and Free Will, which we usually refer to as Fate and Choice, is a Duality, an Either/Or. Real Life is Both/And, it’s Multifarious and Unitary. Either/Or is always a property of the Observing Mind, not a property of External Reality.
Any time we get Stuck Believing that a Duality is Real, we’re not only Off the Tracks, but we’ve swallowed the Bait in someone else’s Political Crab-pot and we’re about to be somebody’s dinner. Political is the adjectival form of Power – we’ve Given our Power Away to someone else (the New Moon Merges with Lilith [Self-Sovereignty and Obeisance] and Chiron [Dead Ends and Miraculous Escapes]).
The Mythological Moira had three Assistant Goddesses. One of them was Lachesis, who was in charge of measuring How Long your Karma will last. When we become Conscious, Fate becomes Choice. So the asteroid Lachesis, through the lens of Choice, gives us license to End Self-Sabotaging Habits at Will. The hard part of that is our own OCD – we’re all Obsessive-Compulsive to some extent.
It’s like switching back and forth between a manual transmission and an autocratic one. When we lapse into Habit instead of Awareness, we kill the engine in the manual car at stop signs, and then we try to shift the autocratic one. If we do this daily, we’ll soon develop a Habit of taking a split-second to Notice which car we’re driving, before we stop or accelerate. Whenever we begin a new Process, it takes us a while to develop “Body Memories” of our Actions, that make them automatic.
If rather than starting with the Recognition that a new Process will take a bit of Practice, we start with the Notion that “I’ll never be able to do this!” then we don’t even try. We have tremendous and persistent Motivation to End our Self-Sabotaging Karma, as it repeatedly puts us into Discomfort, sometimes extreme. But as long as we regard our Karma as being Externally Sourced, our Resistance to Change is even greater than this Motivation.
An early step is distinguishing Responsibility from Blame. Many Resist the idea of Creating Their Own Reality because they feel like they’re being Blamed for their own Misfortune. But they totally miss the point. When “We” Create Our Own Reality, the “We” is not our Ego, but our Soul. Making the Jump from Identifying with our Ego, to Identifying with our Soul, is not Easy. It usually feels like a Death, because it is, an Ego Death. Since the Ego’s Job is to Prevent our Death, it fights like Hell to Resist. We have to Learn to finesse that.
Blame involves assigning Guilt about some Past Event. On the other hand, Responsibility means Being Willing to Change Future Outcomes. Those are very different. We may look for apparent or adjacent “Cause” of our Self-Sabotage, in order to help us Design Strategies for Changing Future Outcomes, but even that is seldom effective, because even though it’s sometimes explained with that Metaphor, Karma is not about Cause and Effect.
Karma is Inertia. The Cause of Karma is that you Built a Habit at some point in your Past Experience, and that Habit has become Obsolete. Maybe on “your” (your Soul’s, not your Current-Lifetime Ego’s) former planet they put the brake on the right and the gas on the left, and “you” were a truck driver there, so “you” had a zillion reps to cement that Habit in place. And now someone’s trying to tell you that it’s “your own” fault that “you” keep hitting the gas instead of the brake? Of course your Current-Lifetime Ego considers that Outrageous.
It’s Obvious that it must be a Demon “Causing” this problem, because “you” aren’t even “Home” when it happens, “you” are thinking about something else. Or at lease an Evil Twin. Until we work on it, usually with great Effort for a long time, our Karma is Unconscious to us, precisely because it’s about Habits that we developed so thoroughly that they’re Hard-Wired into “ourself.”
There are so many other ways to Interpret our Self-Sabotaging Habits. This is just one of them. It’s literally True only in the Both/And sense. We present it because it’s a Useful way to conceptualize what we’re up against when we work at Letting Go of our Karma.
We bring all this up because asteroid Lachesis, which symbolizes Potential Success about Choosing to Change or End a Lifelong Self-Sabotaging Habit, is very Strong at this New Moon (it’s Stationary at 3:40 pm PST 25 March in 8 Leo, Trine to the New Moon). Not only that, the Habits that are most Open to Change, are Habits around our Health (Lachesis Conjunct dwarf planet Varuna [the Life Force, our Vitality]) – how Timely is that?
Even in the best possible circumstances, much to most of our Karma is not accessible to the Conscious mind. So if we want to Choose to Change or End a Lifelong Habit of getting Sick, we need to use our Magnetic Creativity, ie PIAVA (see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava-review/), because Dynamic Creativity is only capable of directly impacting our Conscious Reality.
In spite of Western European Culture’s addiction to Chemistry, it’s actually more Effective to approach Wellness through our Spiritual and Emotional Bodies. I don’t for a moment Deny that the Coronavirus is Alive and Well in 3D Reality. I can’t speak for everyone, but in the Personal Lives of anyone reading this, this New Moon makes it very clear that the Coronavirus for us is not Present Moment. It’s Karmic, a Hologram of our Past Traumas, a Paper Tiger, a Shadow.
First, Lachesis-Varuna is Squared [Challenged] by asteroid Karma [our Karma].
Second, Lachesis-Varuna sits at the focus of a Finger of God [Pay Attention!] from the Sextile between Mercury-OR10 [Awareness of Intrusive Karmic Memories] and dwarf planet Quaoar [Survival] on the South Node [Karma, Held Emotions].
Finally, the New Moon, Merged with Lilith-Chiron [Reclaiming our Power], Opposes asteroid Sappho [Self-Love] and dwarf planet Makemake [Manifestation], while…
Sappho-Makemake is the focus of a Finger of God from Karma and Mercury-OR10 [Pay Attention to using your Karmic Memories to Manifest Present-Moment Self-Love by Poor-Sweethearting the Helplessness of your Karmic Self], and…
Mercury-OR10 is the focus of a Finger of God from Sappho-Makemake and Lachesis-Varuna [Pay Attention to making a Loving and Gentle Connection between your non-Present-Moment Visions and your Healing].
Oh, and dwarf planet Orcus [Oath-Breaking] Opposes Mercury-OR10. Karma often has its origins in Oaths or Vows; if we can Channel a fairly Clear Vision of the Drama that sources our Intrusive Memories, we may be able to Revert the Ancient Oath that is at the Heart of our Attachment to 3D.
Like so…
Whether we’re Conscious of it or not, our most likely Emotional Response to the Coronavirus is Fear. So we might Choose a PIAVA such as Tapping (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzVd6Ww0as4) to kick-start the Healing of our Karma…
“Even though I well remember Sickness and Famine unto Death, I Deeply and Completely Love and Accept Myself…”
Supplemented by Theta Healing (https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava/theta/)…
“God/Goddess, Creator of All There Is, I Command that for me and my Loved Ones, 2020 be filled with Good Physical and Financial Health. It Is Done, It Is Done, It Is Done. Thank You, God/Goddess! … Show Me!“
If your “Show Me” isn’t a picture of Wellness and Abundance, Tap Out any flaws you find in the picture, and then do Theta again. Repeat the two Prayers as necessary till you get a Perfect Show-Me and a surge of Joy up your spine.
Alternatively, we could zero in on the Flying Squirrel Configuration that has Mercury-OR10 as the head, Karma and Quaoar-South Node as the hands, Lachesis-Varuna and Sappho-Makemake as the feet, and Orcus as the tail. Notice that a Flying Squirrel is a Kite [Directed Grace] inside a Square Fez [Mystery School] – we could regard it as a Self-Resolving Fez.
Self-Resolving or not, the Prescription of any Fez is to Avoid Anal-yzing the diagonal Quincunxes…
- “God/Goddess, Please Grant me the Manifestation of Self-Love for, and in spite of, any Karma I might have to the Contrary [Karma Quincunx Sappho-Makemake].”
- “My Survival Karma and my Perfect Health are entwined in Mysterious Ways; I Ask that they be disentangled and Healed [Quaoar-South Node Quincunx Lachesis-Varuna]”
