Expanding into Fear II

In the 30 August 2021 Sedna Station (Emphasis on Converting Fear to Power) chart…

…we’ve adhered closely to our usual 3-Degree Sensitivity…

That’s “Orb” in astrologuese. Like most astrologers, we consider “Transiting” Angles to be Live if they’re within three Degrees of Exact; for instance, dwarf planet Cyllarus is 1 Degree and 47 Arcminutes (31:02 less 29:16 equals 1:47) from an exact Sextile to Sedna – that’s within 3 Degrees. The Sextile Angle (short blue line) connects two planets that are 2 Signs apart. “Transiting” means “in the sky now,” as opposed to “Natal,” meaning in a Birth Chart. The average Natal Sensitivity commonly used is around 8 Degrees (varying depending on the Angle – more for a Conjunction, less for an Unx). We’ll introduce Cyllarus a bit later.

On the other hand, we’ve expanded our Sensitivity a tad to 3½ Degrees in the 22 August Full Moon chart (if we round up the Degrees, as is customary in astrology, from 29:37 to 30 [=0] for the Moon, from 2:56 to 3 for Pholus, and from 26:10 to 27 for Karma, it still looks like 3 Degrees of Sensitivity – we often do this rounding up)…

We’ve omitted Jupiter (Expansion) in the Sedna station chart, but it was only 3:24 away from a Square (Challenge) to the Sedna Station. And, the 22 August Full Moon was Conjunct Jupiter, which is to say, About Expansion, so you can see why we speak of “Expanding” into Fear. A Full Moon chart applies mostly to the two weeks following the event, while a Station chart applies mostly to the week or so prior to the event, though as we said in the previous post, we expect the Sedna Station chart to influence the week after the event because of the Out of Bounds Moon.

We’ve also added several extracurricular Stars and ‘Roids to the Full Moon chart, in order to fill in some obvious Vacancies. We’ll get to that later. First, let’s look at the Sedna Station chart…

The meat of the Sedna Station chart is the Major Challenge (T-Square, the red triangle) to Becoming Aware of our Karma (Mercury/Awareness Conjunct/Merged With asteroid Karma/Karma). Becoming Aware of our Karma often involves an Ego Death, which are seldom pleasant, unless we Focus on The meat of the Sedna Station chart is the Major Challenge (T-Square, the red triangle) to Becoming Aware of our Karma (Mercury [Awareness] Conjunct [Merged With] asteroid Karma [Karma]). Becoming Aware of our Karma often involves an Ego Death, which are seldom pleasant, unless we Focus on How Wonderful Life Will Be After We Ditch Those Bummers! (Hint Hint). But the vegetables are in the Heavy Heavy base of the T-Square, which is where the Real Action often lies in a T-Square.

On one side of this Opposition (Dualistic Argument aka Politics) are Orders from Headquarters (the Galactic Center), Our Hidden and Often Forbidden Genius (dwarf planet Ixion), and That Which Will Blindside Us If We Continue to Ignore It (dwarf planet Pholus). Like Kabul and Nahlins and Waverly and the California Conflagrations, the Message from Galactic Headquarters is We’re Done Messing Around, It’s Time To Get your Creative Butt in Gear and Get This Fixed! Did Recycling save the Roman Empire from decline? Nothing on our Catastrophic Trajectory will Change until Hupers regard the Planet as a Partner rather than a Resource, regard Excess Profit as the Crime of Grand Theft that it is, and regard Social Norms as the Foundation of the Status Quo that is the Cause of the Problem. And that’s Exactly what our Forbidden Genii came here to Fix. Not far from Pholus are our Survival Instincts (dwarf planet Quaoar).

On the Other Side of this Political Duality are Our Intuition (dwarf planet Asbolus) and Our Unlimited Potential (dwarf planet Chaos). How many of us Cherish our Intuition and Practice Trusting it constantly? How many of us are Exhilarated by Unlimited Potential, and how many of us Terrified by it? On the GC-Ixion-Pholus side of the Political Divide are the Guts to tackle the Elephant in the Room, and on this Asbolus-Chaos side are all of our Yes-Buts. Yes-But it’s Scary – we could Lose our Mod Cons! We’ll Lose a lot more than that if we don’t Change the Trajectory.

Fortunately, we don’t have to do this Alone. We have Allies. There is a Truss Bridge across the Divide (the blue lines connecting GC-Ixion-Pholus, Klotho-Haumea, Eurydike-Thereus, and Asbolus-Chaos). We can Trust (Eurydike) our Ability to wrestle Bears (Thereus). And we can Trust our Recent Double Rebirth…

A Significant New Life Chapter Began (asteroid Klotho enters Scorpio) at 4:16 am PDT 26 August. Scorpio doesn’t mess around. It’s Fearlessly dedicated to Getting to the Bottom of Things. What Things? Since it’s on the cusp, it’s the same chart as the 22 August Full Moon. In that chart, it’s blocking for dwarf planet Haumea, another Strong Rebirth Signal. Pele’s daughter Haumea doesn’t make it to Scorpio, though, turning Backwards in January 2022 two arc-seconds shy of the Cusp of Scorpio. Its dallying delays Haumea’s flow of hot lava into Scorpio till mid-November 2022. Klotho has already crossed Haumea, though, Beginning a New Cycle on 14 August, a few minutes past 12 am PDT, in 28 Libra, “A person becoming aware of spiritual forces surrounding and assisting them.” The four-year Klotho-Haumea Cycle is about Rebirth upon Rebirth. We’re just getting started.

The other Powerful Allies are in the Dumb-Luck Blessings (Grand Trine) that also Touches the Mercury-Karma node. The Allies here are Fearlessness (the Sedna Station itself) and Confidence (dwarf planet Chariklo). If Doubt comes up, Let It Go immediately. You know we’re right about this. Business as Usual is rapidly making this whole Planet look like a Martian Desert. By the time Musk and Bezos get there, Mars will look Lush by comparison to Earth. That’s why Gaia threw a well-deserved fifth wave of the Moronavirus at us.

Finally, dwarf planet Cyllarus demands our Attention as it makes the Grand Trine into a Kite, with itself at the Top. Cyllarus, along with asteroid Requiem (Honoring Death) dropped in to Complete two Vacancies in the Full Moon chart, filling a Grand Sextile and a Grand Cross. He completes the Storyboard for the Sedna Station. Herakles, or Hercules, had a Zeus-given assignment to help Rid the World of Threats to the Patriarchy, especially the Mysteries left over from the Matriarchy. On his journey to this end, he bunked with the unsuspecting Centaur Pholus.

Pholus had Responsibility for safekeeping the Sacred Wine of the Centaurs, and while Pholus was out shopping at Emporos Iosif’s, Herakles Opened the unhidden Sacred Wine. Did he know what he was doing? Probably. The scent carried, and the Centaurs immediately went mad and starting killing each other and everyone in sight. Pholus, true to his habit of ignoring consequences, got dead by picking up a poison dart that had killed someone else, and clumsily dropping it on his foot. Chiron (Despair and Miracles) got the Wound that would eventually make him give up his Immortality. The third corner of the Grand Trine is Centaur Chariklo, Chiron’s wife. And distraught Centaur Hylonome (Codependence and Self-Sovereignty) killed herself with the same spear that killed her Centaur-Stud Lover. That Lover was Cyllarus.

If you need a Program, We are the Centaurs in this story, and Predatory Capitalism is Herakles. We’re killing each other as we help kill the Planet, and we don’t even know why.

Planets Galore! 2

So, how do we make that complicated-looking 29 August (8:40 pm PDT) Converting Fear into Power (Sedna Station) chart…

…easily interpretable?  We just interpret The Most Important Configurations, which in this case are the two Yin Gates.  I know, this is a temporary (“Transit”) chart, so we don’t really have a lot of time to dwell on it, unless it happens to correspond with some Earth-shaking Insight or Trauma, because another Temporary chart is coming down the Time-Pike lickity-split. Of course, these days the Traumas seem to be tailgating each other.  Hopefully the Insights are as well.

If this was your natal or Birth chart, you’d want to know everything about it, even though it would be only a portion of your Psyche, covering 6-8 or so Degrees out of 30.  That’s about a fourth of your Degrees.  And we’d be dealing with 8 of the 44 planets, almost 20% of your planets.  In “Real Life,” folks don’t usually have more than three or four of these Configuration-heavy segments in their natal charts.

If this was part of your natal chart, you’d want to be studying it during the third week of every month.  Why?  Because it covers 26-2 Degrees, and the Sun is in the 1st Degree of one Sign or another on or about the 21st of every month.  So this part of your chart would be Lit Up then.  When I’m doing a reading for someone, I read only the parts of their natal chart that are Lit Up at the time, because we pretty much tune out all of the parts that aren’t Lit Up.  No harm, the other parts will get their turn, and they’re waiting patiently.

But, back to this Sedna Station chart.  Who’s ever heard of a Yin Gate anyway, except loyal readers of this blog.  You’ll notice in this chart that there are two big blue rectangles (“Golden” Rectangles in astrologuese).  If you have a big blue rectangle that’s spit evenly in two on the long axis by a long red line (Opposition), you have a Yin Gate.  If the split is even, you’ll have two green (Quincunxes) Xs, one on each side of the red line.  And most important, you’d have two Fingers of the Goddess (green wedges) pointing to each end of the red line.

A green wedge or Finger of the Goddess admonishes us to Pay Attention! to the planet that it’s pointing to.  A long red line connects two Energies that in some manner Oppose one another.  One of the long red lines in this chart has Fear (Sedna) on one end and Transcendence (Bee-Zed) on the other, so it reinforces the notion that Sedna is about Converting Fear to Power.

But that’s the Intellectual interpretation, in which the Opposition is an Either/or Duality.  That would be a fine interpretation if this Opposition wasn’t the central Axis of a Yin Gate.  A Yin Gate is about Mystery and Paradox, not Intellectual Dualities.  A Yin Gate is about the two Fingers of the Goddess and their Quincunxes.  A Quincunx Asks us to Forget everything we Think we Know, in order to see through the eyes of an Infant and be Open to Entirely New Insights that are not subject to Logic and not Intellectually Defendable.  That’s not Easy…

• Pay Attention! (Goddess-Finger) to Curiosity (Quincunx) about the Relationship that Fear (Sedna) may have with Rebirth (Haumea) on one hand and Responding to Our Unique Genius (Pholus-Ixion – the Sextile in the base of the Goddess-Finger) on another.  Remember that Expressing our Unique Genius will invariably involve Violating Social Norms (Ixion).

• Pay Attention! to Curiosity about the Relationship that Transcendence (Bee-Zed) may have with Action (Mars) and Unlimited Potential (Chaos).  Remember that Exploring our Unlimited Potential will invariably involve Ego Death (Chaos) because it’s our Ego that Guards that gate by Defending our Limitations.

To get beyond the Left Brain and reach Deeply into the Unconscious, we’ll probably need to use Magnetic PIAVA techniques.  It’s difficult to give Examples of this sort of process, because a Successful Mystery School, such as a Yin Gate, takes each of us beyond Where and Who we were before hand, so it’s very Individual.  We can maybe provide clues…

• Are you being Asked or Inspired to Exceed any Limits that usually Govern your Life?  (Bee-Zed, Mars, Chaos)  Does it Feel Scary?  (Sedna)

Personally, I notice that I’m taking much bigger risks than I’m accustomed to taking, even as I’m being quite cautious about when and where and how I take them.  It will probably be a couple of weeks before I know whether they turn out to be Rewarding or Educational.

It would be a special case if someone else was Asking us to Exceed our Limits.  We would have to be very careful to Discern whether their Requests or Demands were Mirroring our Denial, or Serving their Desires at our Expense.  Since none of our Self-Sovereignty planets (Lilith, Hylonome) are involved here, this may not be a serious issue.

• Are you involved in anything Exciting that could end up Burning Bridges?  (Sedna, Haumea, Pholus-Ixion)  Are you Aware that Bridges could Burn?
  

Our Unique Genius is usually Hidden behind a wall of Shame or otherwise Forbidden to us (Ixion).  So Responding to it will at least Challenge the prison guards that we grew up with who were in charge of the Shaming and Forbidding.  If these guards are still Alive and still In Our Life, this could trigger Intense Interpersonal Conflict.  If they aren’t still around, we usually Unconsciously appoint people to Act Out their Role for us.  The BLM Protestors and WS Counterprotestors could both be Acting this Drama Out in the streets.

Do you find yourself taking sides and getting Emotionally Involved in the Dramas? – As opposed to having an opinion, even a strong one, but no Attachment to Outcomes?

That’s one of the Yin Gates.  The Central Axis of the second Yin Gate is about Discovering New Landscapes behind our usual Intellectual interpretations around how (1) Responding to Our Unique Genius (Pholus-Ixion) and (2) Staying Safely within Our Accustomed Boundaries (Chaos) Relate to one another.

Here I’ll wager you’ll be working with your Lifelong Fantasies.  What If I’d Have Done This-and-That in Such-and-Such a Circumstance?  Wow!  What Might Have Happened?  What if Someone Responded to Me the Way I Always Wanted Someone to Respond?  How Exciting Would That Have Been!?!?  How Different My Life Could Have Been!

In this Yin Gate, Responding to Our Unique Genius (Pholus-Ixion) is Tied Up In Some Surprising Way with Fear (Sedna) and What Seems to Be Our Fate (asteroid Karma).  Of course we’re using Fear as a shortcut for Converting Fear to Power, which is what Sedna is really all about, even if Fear is how we Experience it before we Breathe or do our Kegels or Tap It Out or Poor-Sweetheart ourself.  And of course Fate and Karma prove to be Paper Tigers when we Become Conscious about them.

And Staying Safely within Our Accustomed Boundaries – Or Not! (Chaos) is In Some Remarkable New Way Related to Transcendence (Bee-Zed) and Realizing that The Most Important Thing in Life is How We Feel About It (Out-of-Bounds Moon and Saturn), where “it” is Anything and Everything.

I mean, how often, when we’re working on Manifesting something, do we devote most of our Attention to How We’ll Feel When It Has Manifested?  How will you Feel when Hupers have Respect For All People and All Things, for instance?  When we Embrace our Viruses Lovingly?  What will it be like to Live in such a World?  Is that where your Thoughts and Emotions automatically move to when you read or hear about Partisan Outrage?  Isn’t that where our Greatest Power for Changing the World lies?

Ixion, Forbidden Genius 2

Here’s one of our Ixion poster children…

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/boris-johnson-is-busting-every-british-political-norm-will-it-work/2019/09/07/f0b47878-d021-11e9-a620-0a91656d7db6_story.html

The Dance between Pholus (Responding to…) and Quaoar (our Survival Instincts) on the cusp of Capricorn is the obvious indicator of Global Warming.  Ixion (Violating Cultural Norms to Respond) isn’t far behind…

Ixion and Quaoar move at almost the same speed, Ixion averaging about 1.44 Degrees per year, Quaoar about 1.25.  Pholus is much faster, averaging about 4.25 Degrees per year.  Pholus is in the process of Passing Quaoar, which is why we’re starting to Pay Attention.  Ixion won’t catch up with Quaoar until 2037.  Quaoar was the God who taught the Easter Islanders how to Survive after they had cut down all of their Trees.  Stuck as we are in the Patriarchy worshiping the Great Gods Profit, Greed, and Competition, we will probably have to wait until our current Ecosystem Fails Utterly before we wake up and start Begging Quaoar to Save us.  Yes, the Patriarchy is fading, but on a scale of Centuries, not Years.

The current Pholus-Ixion Cycle began January 2012, “Pelicans moving to avoid hupers” (19 Sagittarius).  The Pholus-Quaoar Cycle will restart February 2022, “Domesticated Birds singing joyously” (8 Capricorn).  The 2037 Initiation of Ixion by Quaoar is symbolized by a “Large Aviary” (28 Capricorn).  All Birds, moving from the Wild to the Zoo.  Birds are what remain from that other Great Extinction, the Dinosaurs.

“For modern people needing to grieve but having no culture in which to really do it, this older community of the wide beautiful fish-filled ocean is the water of all grief and will be as close to a tribe that listens as they’re probably going to get.  The great mother ocean will also begin to teach the griever to move away from thinking only humans have a consciousness.

“For people raised inside the stringent rigors of so-called rational thinking or the domination of a nonemotional society which not only doesn’t grieve but pays no heed to the greatness of praising, this prospect of grieving could be fear-filled.  After all, such people still have instincts, albeit trained instincts.  These instincts tell them to be reticent about anything that smells like grief because deep down below all that control, they know, when grief comes knocking at your door, it dresses and looks like someone your parents told you not to associate with: something wild and off the grid.

“They must know if grief is followed to its naturally designed direction, in order to get to where you eventually create beauty, you will, in the interim times it might take to go there, not be a hundred percent who everybody you know normally things you are.  If you actually begin to grieve, your normal personality will most likely submit a complaint to the ‘Bureau of Proper Restraint and Complacent Mediocrity’ set up in your mind by your mother when you were twelve, because your normality is no longer necessary when you love, grieve, and praise.

“It is true that grief is an interruption into normal life like the necessary swelling and opening of a seed for it to sprout and grow to full flower.  Whether we know it or not, human beings are relegated to the fact that without grief we can never grow ourselves into real people.  It is also true that real grief, fresh grief, is a form of drunkenness, an intoxication.  When grief does what it is meant to, it turns sorrow into an ecstatic, out-of-time inebriated symphony of the very direction of the divine who conducts all the natural symphonies of life’s symbiotic communities.”

“The business mind has to be sent out for doughnuts while the generous visionary heart kicks in.  It is a time of natural molting, where the armor of rational thought is pulled away long enough to give us the necessary space of time, in which we are open and unhardened enough to let our new vulnerable state and its soft new skin surrender to grief’s able handling of the rudder of our little ship of sorrow and loss.”

–Martín Prechtel, The Smell of Dust on Rain, pp.48-49.

All Losses must be Grieved, and Global Warming will result in huge Losses.  Will we continue to be Frozen by our Denial, or will we wake up to our Grief?   Let’s see what Brenda Hoffman has to say about this…

https://lifetapestrycreations.wordpress.com/2019/08/19/do-you-believe-youre-3d-or-5d/

“You no longer have the ability to pander to the needs of others.  This is something you have discovered over many months of trying to do so without the results you hoped for.  For those people you attempt to help may not do as you command or demand, and yet, they continue to ask for help.  Which results in your exhaustion and little or no change in their lives.  So it is you dropped into the 3D caretaking zone.

“You were once able to brush off such interactions for you were fully enmeshed in your 3D “helper” mode.  Now that you are no longer of 3D, such interactions merely exhaust you.  You are attempting to be in two worlds at the same time, and such is no longer possible.  Your caretaking role has become painful.

“But of course, those yet of 3D cannot understand your reluctance to tell them what to do or to listen to the same story for the 100th time with little evidence they want to change.

“So it is you are discovering your new path, sometimes inch by inch.  For listening to the woes of others used to be delightful.

“You continue to contend that you have not changed, that you are who you always were.  We beg to differ.

“Your direction, your joys, even your food preferences are changing daily.  But until you note something evident to all concerned, you will continue to believe you are just as you always have been.

“What difference does it make if you believe you are of 3D or 5D?  Your thoughts and beliefs create your reality.  So if you believe something is not possible, it is not.  But, if you believe you are different with new directions, powers, and needs, so it will be.

“It is time for you to claim your inner-power, which merely means shifting your beliefs from ‘I can’t’ to ‘I easily can.’  A simple form of self-hypnosis if you will, but such a dramatic belief change that your life will never again be as it was.

“For most of you are trying to dance between 3D fear and 5D belief in yourself.  The two are not at all similar or even possible at the same time.  You need to acknowledge you are no longer of 3D no matter how frequently someone tries to pull you back into what was for you but is no longer.

“Most often, when 3D humans attempt to claw their way out of their pain through treatment, a move, or ending a relationship, those yet of 3D want that person to return to what was.  For if their friend or relative changes, so must their expectations or actions.

“ThreeD is not a change format.  For even though change is the dominant growth pattern in all dimensions, 3D does not encourage such if someone else must change also.  Sameness is honored. Change is not.

“So it is you remain deeply enmeshed in hoping for the sameness of your 3D earth lives.  FiveD and beyond is filled with change.  In truth, change is the keyword in all dimensions beyond 3D.  So as you change, those within your circle will likely attempt to stop you from doing so.

“By the same token, those you love, who are also changing, might frighten you.  For even though you are expecting some personal changes, you are not expecting changes in others.

“You are in a quandary.  You feel and act differently.  But as you do so, you want those around you to remain as they were.  For you do not have the energy to watch them change and grow – and do the same yourself.  You are exhausted both by your changes and those of others dear to you.

“And as you attempt to return to some ‘normalcy’ by coaching those deeply entrenched in 3D who do not wish to change, you become even more exhausted.

“You do not necessarily know who you are now, and you most certainly do not have the social skills you were once proud of as either an introvert or extrovert.  So everyone and everything feels awkward, uncomfortable, or wrong despite your best attempts to fit in.

“You are not who you used to be, and you are rapidly discovering that those following you are not either.  The only humans acting as they always have are those of 3D, and even they are shifting from slightly irritating to completely uncomfortable for you.  What is happening to you and your world?

“You are shifting, and so are millions of others.  No one and nothing is as it was.  Everything to be, and you are new within you.  And you are discovering that the same is true for your outer world.  What was is no more.  What will be is just forming.  You feel as if you are in ‘No person’s land.’

“This pain, this uncertainly will force you to create that which you did not know was possible in 3D.  And so it is that your inner-power will come to the forefront even if such a thought is uncomfortable now.  Within days, you will start forming ideas that are not like anything you have thought of or believed in before.  For you are shifting from the fear of change to the knowingness of your next phase – that of using your inner-directed power.

“Such is so because all that created your 3D life is no longer valid.  It is time to create from the new.  Something that has seemed too frightening to contemplate.  That is until that which is known is too uncomfortable to live in or with.  So be it.  Amen.”

Uh Oh 3

Okay, we’re technically past Pluto-South Node, though if you’re still Refusing or Unable to Embrace any particular Emotions, it may drag on for you.  No Blame – we have all the Time in the World, and for many people, specific Emotions, or the Memories that Invoke them, can literally Feel worse than Death.  If you’re in that situation, EFT may help Liberate you (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4hhMm8qsCs).

We’re now already deep into the Survival-Issue Stations (Strong Energies) that follow it.  They’re three separate Stations, but because they coincide in Time and are close in astrological longitude, we have to consider them as One Energy…

• 29 March (8:30 am PDT) – Our Forbidden Genius (dwarf planet Ixion) reaches Peak Strength (Stationary).  Hopefully this means your Genius will Break Through its Chains.  If you’re Struggling with Runaway Emotions, these are the Chains that you’re Throwing Off.  Persist.  You may not be able to Dissolve the Discomfort right away, but you can make the Decision to Stop Judging those Emotions, which is a Critical Step.  29 Sagittarius.

• 31 March (5pm PDT) – Our Willingness to Respond (dwarf planet Pholus) is Severely Tested (Stationary).  For instance, it’s Imperative that we Respond to those Uncomfortable Emotions with Love and Peace rather than Reacting to them with the Shame and Loathing that we’re accustomed to.  This Response is how we find the Keys to the Kingdom.  3 Capricorn.

• 3 April (5:30 am PDT) – Our Survival Instincts (dwarf planet Quaoar) are Lit Up very Strongly (Stationary).  If this means Fear for you, Tap and Kegel it Out.  Our Instincts should just be calmly and quietly Telling Us What To Do and When To Do It, not Scaring the pants off us.  Fear may be one of those Forbidden Emotions that are being Lit Up.  4 Capricorn.

You may recall that we’re also Learning how to Consciously Shift our “Fate” around our Survival – see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2019/03/23/lachesis-pholus-quaoar-1/.  Our Manifestation Skills are critical to our Survival, and we’re also Learning how to Consciously Shift our “Fate” around our Manifestation…

• 28 March (5pm PDT) – Lachesis Waning Trine Makemake.  5 Gemini-Libra.  More to follow.

And while we’re at it, we’re also Learning how to Consciously Shift our “Fate” around those Intrusive Memories we spoke of…

• 26 March ( PDT) – Lachesis Waxing Square OR10.  5 Gemini-Pisces.  More to follow.

The Equinox Full Moon was also Cuspal, so the chart of the Three Stations is similar…

…but more complex, partly because we’re including everyone from 27 to 6 Degrees, to include our usual three-Degrees of Sensitivity from Ixion and Quaoar, which are five Degrees apart.  If we think of this as a Rebirth rather than a garden-variety astroevent, this is totally appropriate astrologically.  And is we consider how much is happening, including Pluto-South Node, considering this a Rebirth is totally appropriate Existentially!

It would take a long while to Interpret this chart from the bottom up, so we’ll look at it from the top down.

First, note that our Willingness to Respond Fully to our Forbidden Genius’s Need to Come Out of the Closet in order to Ensure our Survival is a Self-Resolving Challenge (Diamond Star).  That’s fabulous news!  It means that the Planet is nearer to its Tipping Point into 5D than we Imagine.  The would-be Impediments (Squares) to this are our Manifestation Skills (Makemake) and our need to Heal our Self-Sabotaging Beliefs (Chiron-Vesta).  The Shift is Driven by Self-Love (Sappho Opposite the Stations).

Second, there are three more Self-Resolving Challenges (Diamond Stars) – Manifestation (Makemake), Rebirth (Haumea), and Vitality (Varuna)!

Third, notice that there are two Almost-Grand Sextiles, which Symbolize Blessings on Efforts where we take the First Step.  Completing the Grand Sextiles are two well-known Fixed Stars…

• One of the Almost-Grand Sextiles Grace-Fully joins Self-Love (Sappho), Soul (Uranus), Ending our Habit of Identifying with Karmic Intrusive Memories (Atropos-Lilith-Karma-OR10), Enlisting our Hidden Genius to Help Us Attend to our Survival (Ixion-Pholus-Quaoar Stations), and Rebirth (Haumea).  The Star that Fills Out the Sextuplet is Regulus, the Royal Star that promises Great Success as long as one avoids the Temptation to Seek Revenge.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed that the Antichrist is currently Seeking Revenge on the “Traitors” who dared to have him investigated.  He has Mars on his Ascendant, which points right at Regulus.  Downfall here we come.  (Using the 11am chart –  https://skywriter.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/see-donald-trump%E2%80%99s-official-birth-certificate-and-chart/; in the 10am chart, Mars is still Conjunct Regulus in the First House.)

• The second Almost-Grand Sextile Grace-Fully joins Manifestation (Makemake), Vitality (Varuna), Learning how to Consciously Change our Relationship to Fear and Violence (Lachesis-Sedna-Mars), Healing our Self-Sabotaging Beliefs (Chiron-Vesta), and Respect for All Things (Hopi).  The Vacancy that Completes this Grace is the Star Toliman, well-known to anyone who follows exoplanet-hunting as Alpha Centauri, the closest Star to our Sun!

And Alpha Centauri is Chiron’s Foot, in Ovid’s version the location of his famous Wound!

And beyond two Grand Sextiles, we now, with the two Stars added, have a Grand Unx, or twelve planets more or less equally spaced around the Zodiac.  The Unx (Twelfth Harmonic) is about Pattern-Breaking, so our Chains here are up for the bolt cutter.  The twelve specific Patterns we can Break here include…

• Healing our Resistance to our Forbidden Genius (Ixion-Pholus-Quaoar to Toliman)
• Recognizing our Immortality (Toliman to Haumea)
• Reorganizing our Life Mission to cover multiple Lifetimes, or Learning to Utilize Bleedthrough from our Parallels (Haumea to Makemake)
• Manifesting Generosity of Spirit (Makemake to Regulus)
• Liberating our Vitality from Analysis (Regulus to Varuna)
• Loving Impediments to our Vitality into non-Existence (Varuna to Sappho)
• Loving Fear and Violence into non-Existence (Sappho to Lachesis-Mars-Sedna)
• Recognizing Fear and Violence as Teaching from the Soul (Lachesis-Mars-Sedna to Uranus)
• Healing Beliefs that Inhibit Identification with our Soul (Uranus to Vesta-Chiron)
• No Longer Believing that we Have to Identify with Traumatic Memories (Vesta-Chiron to OR10-Atropos-Karma-Lilith)
• Relaxing our Judgments of the Sources of our Traumatic Memories (OR10-Atropos-Karma-Lilith to Hopi)
• Replacing Competetion with Collaboration (Hopi to Ixion-Pholus-Quaoar)

Wow VIII

Just to slow us down when we do lapse into Trying to Understand, the next-most prominent elements of the Chiron Station chart are two Yin Gates.  A Yin Gate happens when three planets are one Sign apart, each Opposite another planet, forming a rectangle bisected in the long dimension.

Put Mercury (☿) at the bottom of the chart to see one of the Yin Gates, characterized graphically by two green Xs in a tall blue rectangle, with a red asterisk between them.  Put Ixion and Pholus () at the bottom of the chart to see the second Yin Gate.

A Yin Gate symbolizes a Mystery School, the purpose of which is to move the Initiate past the Duality of the mind and into Recognizing the Unitary Multidimensionality of the Real World.  Which means, from the perspective of Dualism, Paradox.  The Real World is nonlinear, the primary manifestation of which is that Contradiction is a property of the Observing mind, not a property of the Observed World.

The primary Paradox is Illuminated by the central Opposition – here Chaos (Unlimited Potential) Opposite Ixion-Pholus (Responding to our Forbidden Genius), and Mercury (Awareness) Opposite Sedna-Lachesis (Reframing Fear).  The four corners of the blue rectangle, and the diagonal Oppositions, flesh out the nature of the paradox.

So for instance we might initially believe that the likely result of Responding to our Forbidden Genius would be Punishment, as that has likely been our historical Experience.  In general, an astrological Opposition (Second Harmonic) doesn’t imply a Logical Contradiction, since the Second Harmonic is about Ritual.  The Opposition implies the Duality that we must Do the Ritual correctly or it won’t work, because the Power of Ritual lies in Repetition.

So the proper Cultural and Religious Ritual is to quite purposely NOT Respond to the Desires of our Forbidden Genius.  Responding would Open a social can of worms, of Unlimited Potential for Disorder.  Dwarf planet Chaos by itself doesn’t symbolize Disorder, it implies Unrealized Potential.  The proper Esoteric Psychological Ritual is that we MUST Respond to the Desires of our Forbidden Genius, or suffer forever remaining a Partial Person.  The proper Esoteric Religious Ritual is to Constrain Response to the Desires of our Forbidden Genius within the bounds of Rituals that are kept Private from the general public.

The proper 5D Ritual is that Responding to the Desires of our Forbidden Genius (and tolerating the actual or perceived 3D social condemnation) is necessary for Yintegrity to function.  As Rudhyar said, “When you don’t follow your nature there is a hole in the universe where you were supposed to be.”

Recovering your Forbidden Genius is a prerequisite for moving to 5D – where you will have Unlimited Potential to Manifest your Deepest Desires.  If you feel like you Understand that, you’ll have to Let It Go, because Paradox isn’t something that we Understand, it’s something we have to Accept, and something that’s Initiated by Confusion and Curiosity.  There are still miles to go before we sleep.

Self-Doubt 5

When we Deny something it’s often because we don’t like it, and often it’s something about ourself on one level or another.  Denial is Repression by another name, or Banishment into the Unconscious.  Unfortunately, the Unconscious has more Power over us than our Consciousness or Ego.  So Denial always comes with a cost, and almost always a cost that we become Victim to, Projecting it onto Others or onto “Fate.”  We eliminate these Self-Sabotages by bringing them into Consciousness.

Which isn’t always Easy, but at times the Astrology gives us a hand – or an ultimatum.  That usually involves dwarf planet Eris.  We spoke about Eris’s involvement in the 26 October Sappho-Station chart in Self-Doubt 3, at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2018/10/21/self-doubt-3/.  Given the critical role of Denial in Self-Love, we believe that the Eris-Haumea Yin Gate, that we described therein, is the most important part of the Sappho-Station chart.

However, Sappho herself wan’t involved in that Yin Gate.  So, what of Sappho herself while she’s Front and Center?  She’s no shrinking Violet here.  First and foremost, she is Merged with (Conjoins) dwarf planet Chaos, which we’ll abbreviate “dp Chaos” here in order to make it clear when we’re referring to the actual planet.  Dp Chaos doesn’t symbolize Disorder.  “Chaos” was the condition of Reality that the Greek Gods found and brought Order to.  In fact though, much of Greek Mythology is about murdering the previous, or Matriarchal, Order.  So we could Easily equate dp Chaos with the Demise of the Patriarchy.

We give the Greeks some backhanded credit, though, by focusing on their notion of Disorder, and considering dp Chaos to symbolize Unlimited Potential.  What to any given agenda is Disorder, is actually not only Order of another Dimension, but also the Potential for Unlimited Change, since we have no shortage of Dimensions.

Of course a given Huper Lifetime has Potential somewhat Limited by its Soul’s Mission.  But if you consider our many Detours on this path toward our Mission, Variation is more prominent than Limitation.  And, when we become Aware of the Parallel Lives of our Soul, our Variation becomes almost Infinite, if not truly so.  Then add the fact that We Are All One, and you multiply our Potential Diversity by an additionally infinite number of infinities.  And we haven’t even considered non-Huper Entities.  Thus, Unlimited Potential.

So, when you think about asteroid Sappho, symbol of Self-Love, Standing Still only a Degree from dp Chaos, symbol of Unlimited Potential, I would hope you will find yourself among the Stars.  Back in the Olde Days we would have called it “mind-blowing,” as the birdcage of our everyday Ego and Conceptual Matrix and Emotional Limits Exploded into Cosmic confetti. 

Watch for this.  Don’t turn away from it in Fear or Horror.  It may be subtle, or it may Feel like a sword to the belly, like it may have been for some Wall Street traders today.  Remember that the Duality of Self-Love is Self-Doubt, so when Self-Doubt arises, know that its purely a graphic illustration of a corner of your Life where you’re not in Self-Love, a corner that needs correcting ASAP.  Without Self-Love, you’re condemned to repeat the soap opera without end.

Here’s the chart…

You can see that Self-Love and Unlimited Potential are Challenged (T-Square) by Truth (Aletheia) and Suffering/Miracles (Chiron).  What’s the lever that converts Suffering to Miracles?  Self-Empathy, a particularly precious form of Self-Love.  The Challenge is to Remember Self-Empathy every time we encounter Suffering.

And you can see that it’s Opposed by our Forbidden Genius (dwarf planet Ixion) and our Willingness to Respond to Support it (dwarf planet Pholus).  Rudhyar’s advice that “When we don’t follow our nature there is a hole in the universe where we were supposed to be” points directly at our Forbidden Genius – the places where our Programmers shut us down. 

No Blame (except in the beginning when you’re Letting Go of your pent-up Anger about it), your Soul hired them to give you something to push against so you wouldn’t blow the Lifetime posting selfies on your Facebook page.  Do we know who our Forbidden Genius is?  Notice that Eris and Haumea are both Pathfinders (Trine Bridges) for Sappho-Chaos Opposing Ixion-Pholus.  In other words, it would be a fine time to stumble into a Rebirth of your Forbidden Genius through Reclaiming what’s been Denied.

Of course since Denial is all about the Unconscious, and the Unconscious, since it’s Unconscious, isn’t accessible to us through everyday Actions.  We might be able to Notice parts of it by analyzing everyday Actions, but that a very slow way to get Conscious. So we PIAVA.  I’m guessing that most of us actually know our Forbidden Genius, we just don’t know how to Integrate it into the rest of our Lives.

When we put all these elements together, we might come up with something like…

“God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, I Command that my Forbidden Genius be Reborn into Polite Company and that the Resulting Integration Convert Suffering to Miracles and Open Up Unexpected Vistas of Opportunity and Ease for me.  It Is Done, It Is Done, It Is Done.  Thank you God/Goddess! … Show Me.”

Oh.  Did I mention Daniel Scranton’s recent Channeling from the Arcturians? …

“We are putting forth an invitation to anyone and everyone who wants to experience the up-leveling of your vibration.  We are offering this service because we know that there is nothing better for you than to put out a higher frequency of vibration, and we love so much to give to all of you in whatever way that we can.  In order to receive our up-leveling, all you need to do is state your intention to receive it as you are drifting off to sleep.

“The delivery system will be through a meeting that will take place in the astral realm.  That is where you are able to meet ninth dimensional beings at this time.  And so we are happy to meet up with you and to provide you with this service.  Now, you are going to experience some changes once you receive this vibrational upgrade.  You are going to heal more quickly.  You will receive more inspired ideas.  You will feel more joy, and love will flow easily to you and through you.

“We have seen the results of these vibrational upgrades in those who have accepted them from us in the past, and we are very pleased with how you all shift your vibrations so easily when you are open to receive.  We also want you to recognize that we are really just the facilitators here.  You are the ones who will accept our invitation, and you are the ones who will meet us in the astral plane so that you can receive what was always yours for the taking.

“A higher vibration is your birthright, and as many factors as there are on your world that keep your vibrations in the lower frequency range, there are as many of us in the higher realms looking to support you in holding a higher vibration.  We always have and we always will.”
