Since Karma is Dead, it won’t be a problem that the Digital Age is Karmic, right? Almost enough to make a person subscribe to Retribution…
But no, Karma is Inertia, and do we ever have Inertia! Huge Inertia in government dysfunction, possibly increasing Inertia with apparently more Powerful Mutant Ninja Garudaviruses in the wings in spite of the nascent Vaccines, Inertia with Inequality as the Robber Barons use Virus-Rescue dollars for their own lunch money and worse, far too much Inertia in Global Balming, und so weiter.
The chart for the 21 December 2020 Saturn-Jupiter Initiation, which Initiates the 140-year Digital Age (the span during which the Jupiter-Saturn Conjunctions occur in Air Signs) and especially the next 20 years (the current Jupiter-Saturn Cycle), features only one Big Challenge, and that’s Karma (a T-Square to asteroid Karma from the Opposition between Sedna [Converting Fear to Power] and Juno [Expansion of Consciousness])…
If that’s not enough, asteroid Karma itself is also Strong (Stationary), with Peak Exaggeration on 27 December at 2:30 am PST and two Challenges (T-Squares, the red triangles), one to Our Instincts (the Moon, from the Opposition between asteroid Karma herself and Gonggong [Flushbacks]) that Challenges us to Stay in the Present Moment, and the other to Our Willingness to Break Karmic Habits (asteroid Lachesis, from the Opposition between Jupiter-Saturn itself [the Conscious or Unconscious Decision whether to Contract away from new Energy or to Expand into Embracing it] and the Conjunction of Atropos [Karmic Patterns that have Finished their TimeLine, which our Ego may or may not have Let Go Of] and Varuna [Our Vitality])…
The Conscious or Unconscious Decision whether to Contract away from new Energy or to Expand into Embracing it (Jupiter-Saturn) in the Karma Station chart mirrors the apparent Contradiction between Converting Fear to Power (Sedna) and Expansion of Consciousness (Juno) in the Digital Age Initiation chart. Notice that these are both Either/Ors, which by now we automatically associate with the Observing Mind rather than Observed Reality – right? If we want to deal with Reality we have to Change the Subject and switch from HeadsOrTails to the Coin. Since the Mind mostly does only Either/Or, we have to Intuit the Both/And Coin.
Well, obviously, when we Contract (Saturn) away from Reality, we only drive it into the Unconscious, from where it Controls us from behind the Curtain of our Denial. No Pressure – Denial is our Best Choice when we aren’t Ready to Integrate something into Consciousness. Overwhelm will usually set us back. So at least we can Expand into Embracing (Jupiter) our Contraction. In fact, a Poor Sweetheart might be an ideal Response – “You Poor Sweetheart, you’re really Frightened by that, aren’t you.” If we can then Change the Subject and go about our business without Obsessing on what Frightened us, we may be able to just Manifest the Miracle of Transcending our Fear of the New rather than Denying it.
Chiron is Positively Related (Sextile, two Signs apart, meaning Grace but we have to take the first step) to Jupiter-Saturn, and Chiron is the Unhealable Healer who Connects us to the Wisdom that What Heals is Empathy – hence our Self-Empathy Mantra, You Poor Sweetheart… Like Tapping, it Recognizes the Truth of our Heart and brings various parts of ourself into Alignment, while moving our Assemblage Point or our Identity, the Place Behind our Attention, from WhatAfflictsUs to Compassion.
Notice what Opposes Jupiter-Saturn – Varuna-Atropos (the End of Karmic Limitations to our Vitality). We can carry this directly to the Crapolavirus. Atropos stands for Karmic Patterns that have Finished on their own Accord but which our Ego may not have Let Go Of yet. In other words, the Virus is Optional if we Wish it So. Which means we have to Let Go of our Belief in Disease. Sounds Dangerous, doesn’t it. Sounds like a good way to get Dead. Yes, that’s the Sedna part. If you get stuck on that, Locate your Fear in your Body and focus Intensely on it while doing a hundred Kegels, to Convert the Fear to Power, whenever the Fear arises or returns.
Meanwhile, consider it an Experiment, and don’t Act like a Covidiot. This is like a Placebo – it works best if you Believe in it. And it will work (Jupiter-Saturn is joined by dwarf planet Chariklo [Confidence and Doubt] – Choose the Confidence side). But we’re Playing on the Growing Edge of our Consciousness (asteroid Juno), so we never quite know ahead of time if we’re Ready to Transcend. If your Intuition is working fairly well, Thetas can help you evaluate your Readiness. When we Ask for What We Want, the Universe will either Give it to us directly, or Give us a demonstration of what else we need to Let Go Of in order to become Ready to Receive. Let the Universe stub your toe, instead of Dancing with a Miserable Death.
For folks who don’t Believe in Magic (ie, Choice) – and therefore Karma isn’t Dead for them – Karma still means Cause and Effect. Like Blame, Cause and Effect is a very sticky artifact of the Dualistic “Left” Brain. It’s not Easy to Think in terms other than Cause and Effect, because that’s the way the Observing Brain is wired. If you Allow it, the “Right” Brain – Intuition – can go Directly from Want to Outcome without worrying about Mechanism. For Left-Brainers, the Digital Age’s focus on C&E is good, because it may Allow them to Connect their Beliefs and Behaviors to their Outcomes in spite of their red hats. And there’s a lot of Inertia there which needs to Shift before Mother Gaia can Finish her Trance(Re)formation, though when it’s Ready it can Shift overnight.
When we look more closely, we see that all three Challenges (T-Squares) are Self-Resolving (Diamond Stars – red-triangle T-Square and green-wedge Finger of the Goddess pointing to the same planet). This means that, when the Universe Threatens to Repeat your worst deja vus All Over Again, the Appropriate Response is to Smile to yourself and raise your Energy, while you Recognize that the Universe is a Trickster, and share a Chuckle with Her. She’s giving you another Opportunity to Practice using the Belief and Action that you’ve Chosen to Replace your Obsolete Karmic Pattern, or any Alternative Pattern, so you can Erase through Repetition your old Connections and cement New Patterns into your Flexible and Opportunistic Brain.
For the 22 May 2020 (9:30 am PDT) New Moon in 3 Gemini, which applies to the next several weeks, we’re back to the 10 May Priorities Energy (Saturn Station) that we described in The Most Important Thing 2 post (the chart with the one-eared Flying Squirrel).
That was a week and a half ago, so some of the Players have Changed. For instance, at that time Self-Love (asteroid Sappho) was the major Challenge (T-Square). For the New Moon, the major Challenge is Manifestation (dwarf planet Makemake). While the Object of the Challenge has changed, the Source (base of the T-Square) has not. It’s our Life Path (Nodal Axis).
Yes, we absolutely believe in Destiny. If you insist on remaining Unconscious. The more Conscious we become, the more we replace Fate with Choice. We each have a Life Mission (North Node), but it’s waaay more Multidimensional than our Dualistic Mind can grasp. It doesn’t hurt to try, as long as you add “…or something like that” to every attempt. In order to move toward our Life Mission, we need tools that we can only get by facing down our Held Emotions (South Node), the ones that We’d rather Die than Feel.
Oops, we put the accent on the wrong syl-ob‘ble (syllable). It’s We’d rather Die than Feel – we don’t do Held Emotions without an Ego Death. Ego Death is of course the second stage of Growth in Consciousness. The first stage is Confusion, though there’s a lot of interbreeding between Ego Death and Confusion. After the pregnancy, we Birth a new, more Conscious Ego, if we’re willing to do the Work.
Doing the Work has two parts. The first is being willing to Tolerate our Confusion without Killing It – Killing Confusion means Trying to Figure Out (thinking) Why (again, thinking) we’re Confused so we can make it Go Away. Confusion is an Emotion in its own right, and one of the more Powerful, if subtle, Emotions we have. The Patriarchy gets its toxic aversion to Change by banning Confusion from polite company. It’s not macho.
The second part of the Work is being willing to Sit Through our Ego Death without Running Away from it. Sitting through Ego Death means Opening to whatever Emotions arise (not macho) and being Loving and Gentle (again, not macho) with them .
Yes, there will be Stories, but they aren’t necessary. We can briefly Appreciate them, but we want to dismiss them quickly, so we can Pay as much Attention as possible to the Emotion. The Stories are more thinking, and like Chocolate-covered quicksand, they’re totally Compelling, and difficult to escape from. Addictive even. How many people do you know who are Addicted to their Victim Stories?
What Victim Stories are You Addicted to? They might make good material for you to practice on, Separating Emotion from Thinking, and using Sensation as a Guide to keep you Feeling and not Thinking.
There’s a good reason why the word Feeling applies both to Sensation and Emotion.
A good way to Open to an Emotion is to Locate it, or any Discomfort, in our Body, and put All of our Attention on that spot, while we watch what’s happening for us Emotionally. Put your hand on that spot to warm it – Love is Soft and Warm, Fear is Cold and Hard. If you can’t find the Emotion in your Body, or there are many Discomforts, just pick the most likely spot, while trying not to think about it. You want to Feel it, not Think it.
Emotions don’t have grammatical Objects. You’re never Angry At [xyz], you’re just Angry. You’re never Sad About [abc], you’re just Sad. The grammatical Objects we love to add to Feelings are thinking, not Feeling. Putting an Object on an Emotion freezes you in Time, and Emotions are Timeless, especially Held or Karmic Emotions. And if an Emotion is difficult for you to Tolerate, and difficult to Let Go Of, you can bet it’s Karmic.
When an Emotion is Karmic, its roots are not in the Current Lifetime, so dwelling on some Current-Lifetime Chagrin will never touch it. And a Karmic Emotion will be cemented in by a zillion iterations, so if you have a Story about it from a different Lifetime, dwelling on that Story is just more Karmic masturbation. It won’t Impregnate you with a new Ego that sports Expanded Consciousness. Just more Thinking when you need Feeling.
When our Attention Wanders, as it will, frequently, we just Lovingly and Gently bring our Attention back to where there’s Discomfort in our Body. No Judgment. It Is What It Is. When the Discomfort Moves, we’ve succeeded. We can Follow it, if we still have Attention to spare, or we can Change the Subject, wait a while, and see that happens.
“PIAVA, in case you’ve forgotten or tuned in recently, stands for Pray-Intend-Ask-Visualize-Affirm. Each is basically similar, but some work better for some of the people some of the time… The Magnetic Feminine manifestation process runs PIAVA, Change the Subject, Pay Attention. You have to Change the Subject (or as the Buddhists put it, Lose Your Mind) because if you keep thinking about it, your Old Birdcage will constrain your Reality to be the way it’s always been. And you have to Pay Attention because whenever you PIAVA anything, the first thing that the Universe provides is information about why you haven’t had what you’re asking for all along.”
As it was in our Priorities Energy, our Karma in the New Moon Energy is all about Recovering our Hidden and Forbidden Genius (South Node [Held Emotions] Conjunct dwarf planet Ixion [our Unique Genius]…) so we can “fix” Climate Change (…and dwarf planets Pholus [Are we Missing anything?] and Quaoar [Survival]). This is a Unique Opportunity that occurs only every nineteen or so years, when our Hidden and Forbidden Genius and our Held Emotions Converge (South Node Conjunct Ixion).
We’re all troubled by Serious Problems that are much bigger than our usual Span of Control, be they Climate Change, outacontrolavirus, bumpstocks, coyotes, politics, clearcutting, Roundup, in-laws, oligarchies, taxes, overpopulation, locusts, food insecurity, pigshit lagoons, coal ash, people running around nude under their clothes, undsoweiter ecosìviaadinfinitum.
The fact that our Forbidden Genius is Verboten is almost certainly Karmic. If you’ve ever had a Fantasy about having Superpowers and Fixing some Problem much larger than your usual Span of Control, or even publicly Expressing your Frustration about the Problem, you’re Touching your Forbidden Genius.
The World Mirrors our Inner Balance, so we all have our own Inner Climate Change process happening – we’re all Denying chronic Problems that we Believe are beyond our Span of Control because they’re hiding behind our Limiting Unconscious Beliefs. We Deny them because it’s a healthy way to deal with Issues that would just overwhelm our current Ego. And there’s a strong correlation between our Limiting Unconscious Beliefs and our Held Emotions.
To touch the Edges of your Held Emotions, Focus on What You Feel when you contemplate your Obsession with the Global or Personal Problems that seem to be beyond your Power to Change.
To touch the Edges of your Forbidden Genius, Focus on What You Feel when you have that Superpower Fantasy.
Then Change the Subject, and tune in tomorrow to see if anything Feels different. Then rinse and repeat.
If you can find and watch 24:30 through 35:00 of this video, you’ll be very Clear about The Most Important Thing…
If you don’t plan to spend much Future Time on this Planet, in your current Lifetime or others, then no worries. If Life-Threatening Challenges are your Cuppa Tea, then no worries. Otherwise, This is Big. Compared to This, everything else is as Important as making mudpies. So we highly recommend that you quit wasting Emotional and Physical Energy and Time fretting about the mudpies, and Commit yourself fully to The Most Important Thing.
Don’t worry about the details, just PIAVA to Lovingly and Gently come to Grok your Perfect Unique Role, in your own Time. When you do find your Perfect Unique Role, it’ll be Great Fun, and not at all the Difficulty – or Impossibility – that you now imagine it to be. It’s really true that If you aren’t part of the Solution you’re part of the Problem, so please, No Longer Lend Your Strength to That Which You Wish to Be Free From.
Of course your own The Most Important Thing must Arise from your own Heart, but we do need to warn that we’ll be Obsessing about our own personal The Most Important Thing till at least 9pm PDT on 10 May 2020 (when Saturn [The Most Important Thing] Stands Still in the Sky [Impacts us Strongly] at 2 Aquarius). Oh, our Values will also be up for review till at least 11:45 pm 12 May (when Venus [Values] Stands Still in the Sky at 21 Gemini). So lots of Self-Review. Of course The Most Important Way to Approach The Most Important Thing is to monitor yourself to Avoid dwelling on WhatYouDon’tWant, so you can keep your Focus – which is what Creates your Future – on WhatYouDoWant.
Which, with everything (us included) Changing rapidly, means we can Expect to Experience Confusion fairly often. Confusion isn’t my Favorite Emotion. Which is why I’m working hard on Turning That Around, so Confusion becomes my Favorite Emotion. Well, maybe my second-Favorite, after Ecstasy. At any rate, Confusion is the first sign of Growth in Consciousness.So it’s Precious. Our Concept Set forms the skeleton for our Ego and rationalizes our Limiting Unconscious Beliefs (such as “Nothing I can do about that!“). Positive Change is Available only when our Concept Set wavers and quivers – which means we Feel Confused.
Tweety is our Ego, the Cage is our Concept Set, and Sylvester is everything that’s Eliminated from our Life by our Unconscious Limiting Beliefs. Notice how Tweety looks kind of Confused by what’s happening.
However, Growth in Consciousness only occurs when we don’t try to outsmart our Confusion. (Tweety relies on her Instinctual Wisdom of Experience, not Mentality). When we try to Figure Out what’s Confusing us and make it Go Away, we Lose our Opportunity for Growth. Figuring It Out just regrouts the bricks in the walls of our Concept Set. This is especially important here while the symbol for our Ego is still Merged with the symbol for our Confidence (Stationary Saturn [Ego] Conjunct dwarf planet Chariklo [Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt], which runs from December 2019 till January 2021). I mean, what’s more Important to the Ego than Confidence?
We know Intuitively that nothing makes a Huper more Attractive to Other Hupers than Self-Confidence. It makes Life so much easier when Others find us Attractive and want to curry our favor. Confidence is far more Compelling than Competence – that’s how the Antichrist Bullied his way into Fame and Glory. Self-Doubt is one of the biggest impediments to Abundance. Unfortunately, many of us are Addicted to Self-Doubt. We get there by failing to Embrace Ego Death.
The Antichrist gives us a Master Teaching at Avoiding Self-Doubt. He just Reframes History, Effortlessly and Immediately. We may not want to do it his way, but the Lesson is Valuable because it brings the Issue into the Light of Day. The Issue is, Do we Create our own Reality or Not? He’s obviously a Master at Creating a Surreality that fits him to a T. History books are full of Masters at Creating their own Surrealities. The Antichrist Demonstrates the process – just Create your own Surreality, and whenever it conflicts with Reality, quickly Adjust it. His Goal is Adulation. We could emulate his techniques for other Goals, such as Abundance (Having Enough to Share), a Livable Environment, a Collaborate Culture, Immunity to 5G and Granolaviruses, Ascension, or WhateverWeWant.
Doubt and Confusion are kissing cousins. When we Fake our way out of Doubt we often get caught. If we aren’t famous enough, that matters. When we try to Fake our way out of Confusion by Figuring It Out, we also Create more Trouble for ourself. Like any other Emotion, in order to Release it we need to Accept and Embrace it Exactly as it Is. When we do that, we dispel it – we literally break the Spell that it has cast on us.
We get Unstuck by training ourself to Notice when we’re Feeling Confused, and then Consciously Celebrate it. Getting Beyond our Limiting Unconscious Beliefsis necessary if we are pursuing Abundance, Ascension, Enlightenment, or virtually any other major Change in our Karma. (Our Limiting Unconscious Beliefs, by the way, are symbolized by asteroid Vesta, and Vesta Conjoins Stationary Venus as we speak. We talked about that a little in Values and Beliefs Full Moon.) We should write about the Venus-Vesta Cycle, because…
The Dance between our Values, Beliefs, Desires, Emotions, and Thoughts – including what and how we Think about our Emotions – are very Important to our progress toward WhatWeWant. Most of us are very Confused, without Realizing it, about the Difference between Our Emotions andOur Thoughts About Our Emotions. Emotions happen in our Body. The minute we move into our Head and begin ThinkingAbout our Emotions, we’ve totally Abandoned both our Emotions and our Selves. Yet we need to Align our Passion and our Thoughts in order to Manifest Cleanly.
Does any place in your Body hurt or Feel Uncomfortable right now? Are you Able to Lovingly and Gently put your Total Attention into that place, and watch how it Changes? How long can you do that without Thinking About how it Feels? It’s fine to Think About how long we’re Holding our Attention there, as long as we’re Experiencing how it Feels, and not Labeling or Comparing (as Marshall Rosenberg liked to say, “Feels Like” expresses a Thought, not an Emotion) it, or Leaving the Present Moment.
Holding your Total and Unconditionally Loving and Gentle Attention on any Discomfort in your Body is one of the most Healing things you can do for it. When you Notice that your Attention has Wandered, just quietly Bring It Back, without Judgment. Notice if your Body has Created any Hardening around the Discomfort, as we often do in an effort to Separate Pain from our Identity. If there is, Consciously Soften it. That’ll Open the blood flow around the space, and accelerate the Body’s natural Healing. That’s what Bodies do for a Living, if we let them.
Try doing the same with a Difficult Emotion. Locate it in your Body, and give it Total Unconditionally Loving and Gentle Attention. If you can do that without Labeling or Comparing it, or Leaving the Present Moment, you’ll find that the Discomfort dissolves the way it does when you Poor-Sweetheart yourself. It’s quite Miraculous if you aren’t used to doing it. When we Leave the Present Moment – “OMG, this reminds me of…” or “What will happen if…” – we’re ThinkingAbout the Emotion, not Feeling it, Experiencing it, or Giving it our Attention. We’re Abandoning the Emotion and our Self.
Not that it isn’t useful to Anal-yze how any Discomfort fits into your TimeLines. For instance, Realizing that an Unpleasant Feeling is another Mirror for a Childhood Trauma, can in a few seconds help to Heal both the Discomfort and the PTSD. And Realizing that some Discomfort that’s Arising is a clue about why we aren’t instantly Manifesting something we just PIAVAed, can in a few seconds help to melt our Resistance to that Manifestation.
Remember that if we aren’t ready to Manifest something that we’ve PIAVAed, the first thing the Universe will do is give us an Illustration of why we aren’t ready.
But we need to Learn to instantly Recognize the Difference between our Emotions and our Thoughts About them. A Healthy Emotion Arises and then Dissipates, Informing us about something Important in the process. If there’s no Dissipation, it’s because we’ve shifted from Feeling it to Thinking About it. That can Freeze Emotions for years, Creating and Deepening Karma in the process. When we get stuck on an Emotion it’s almost always alreadyKarmic, and every time we Think About it instead of Feeling it, we cement the Karma in place more firmly.
Karmic Emotions are Held Emotions, the ones We’d rather Die than Feel. So it’s a natural, Healthy Reaction to find any way we can to Avoid that, including shifting transparently from Feeling to Thinking. If you’ve been reading this blog long, you know that “We’d rather Die than Feel that” is a misrepresentation. It’s what we Experience, but it’s an Illusion. It’s really “We’d rather Die than Feel that” – yes, We, our Ego, our current Identity, has to Die in order for us to Feel that. That’s how Karma works. The Ego’s job is to keep us Alive and Well, so this works well.
Except when we Want to Change or Manifest something that’s not already in our Karma, and then we need to Tolerate or even Court Ego Death in order to get beyond our Limiting Unconscious Beliefs. In fact, Ego Death becomes The Most Important Thing. It doesn’t even matter if the Planet has been Destroyed, because we in fact Create our own Reality, as a Mirror for our Internal Self-Love processes, so we’ll just Re-Create it in our Image.
We’ll talk more about these things, and how Confusion and Curiosity (the Quincunx and Finger of the Goddess) relate to one another, when we look at tomorrow’s Saturn Station chart in detail.
“Now how to come upon that ego death, what is that – and what does that look like? I know it’s in the ‘literature’; the fine print! And am I reading between the lines, perhaps, that seem to be about moving up and beyond karmic entanglement? …it feels so weighted now.”
Yes, I realized last night that I should say more about Ego Death, but I’d already written so much that I didn’t want to stretch it out more. So I appreciate the Question.
And yes, Ego Death is “in the literature,” at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/identity/ego-death/. The essence is Noticing that you’re feeling like “I’d rather die than go through that again,” and a key to becoming Adept with this “ED” is to reframe the Experience from “I’d rather Die than…” to “I would rather die than…” Making that a PIAVA would also be a boon. There’s much more “in the literature,” for instance, when you get lost in your own ‘hood or can’t remember your own phone number, those are signs that you’re Newly Reborn.
Ego Death is a Psychological Molt that needs to occur whenever we feel Overwhelmed and Recognize that we have to Change something in order to Enjoy going on with our Life, but we also feel Trapped by our Commitments (or lack thereof if we’re Feeling Isolated) and don’t know what we even can Change. Making our Ego Death a PIAVA Surrenders all that Change mishmash about What and Why and How and Who to our Intuition, which Knows well What needs to be Changed, and How to do it.
We might PIAVA an Ego Death with something like “I Wonder what I need to be Happy” or “Great Spirit, Please Make My Life Enjoyable (Again)” or Asking yourself “What Do I Really Want?” and then spending some time with the Feeling you would have in your Body if you had the Luxury of Allowing Yourself to Receive Exactly That. And certainly “You Poor Sweetheart, you Feel at your Wit’s End, don’t you” or “… you feel Anxious, don’t you” would be a quick way to Change the wallpaper. Of course you’d Change the Subject after each PIAVA.
Folks say that all this “New Agey” stuff is just another excuse for putting off the Action that we need to take, but I differ adamantly about that. Taking Action from our Dynamic Planning-Doing mindset Changes nothing, as our Inner Male can only perpetuate His Limitations. We have to Appeal to our Inner Female to Change anything. She Knows what must be done, and She Knows how to Motivate your Inner Male to Enjoy getting to Work when it’s Time and when it’s Right.
The whole idea behind PIAVA is that, sometime after you Change the Subject, you Wake Up and Notice that You Are Doing What It Takes to Solve the Problem, without even Noticing that you’re Doing it, because once you Changed the Subject you Changed your Perspective, and now the World is running on a whole New engine and transmission, and the words you used to use to describe your Frustration (if you even remember them, which often you won’t) aren’t even Relevant anymore.
Your Inner Lady IS your Heart, She Knows What You Want Intimately, and She Knows How to Get It, because She Knows the World Intuitively. Your “Head” (really we’re talking about the Third Chakra, not the Sixth, so “Head” is a misnomer – your Inner Male comes out of your Solar Plexus) only Knows What You Think, and you’re Thinking that What You Want is Unreachable, and since He only Knows the World Empirically, He can only Act to Keep On Doing What He’s Been Doing, which Aint Working, or you wouldn’t be in need of an Ego Death.
And yes, Karma has been Dead for a long time now, except for our own Grasping of it. As for the Weight,
there’s probably an Ego Death in there, and probably a Held Emotion (aka Karmic PTSD). The quickest way to find out is to make yourself Comfortable, Locate the Heaviness in your Body, Warm It, Soften around It (Fear is Hard and Cold, Love is Soft and Warm), put your Full Attention into the Center of It, and Hold It there until the Heaviness Moves. Then Change the Subject.
Of course it will help to Give your Inner Child Permission to Blubber unashamedly and uncontrollably, and to Complain to friends – but only those who will understand that your Intention is to Let Go rather than to Bitch (a la RC – see https://www.rc.org/) or to Accuse anyone of anything.
By the way, do you know how to Complain without putting the load right on your Listeners? You speak in I statements rather than You or They Statements, and you use Feeling verbs rather than Thinking verbs (“Feel Like” is a Thinking verb – a Feeling verb is always followed by an Emotion word such as Angry or Excited or Bummed). This way your Listeners can Enjoy your Story, and to the extent they’re able, Empathize, without having to Take Responsibility for your Process. If you want to study how to do this, see https://www.cnvc.org/.
The two Trine Bridges (Blessed Paths) in the 8 July Haumea Station-Lilith T-Square were from Vesta-Ixion and Moira-Chaos. Let’s examine those a bit.
The Vesta-Ixion Cycle is short enough that we’ve already noticed one Ixion-Vesta Initiation, in November 2014 – https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2014/11/18/newthought-portals/. The Cycle itself is about the Unconscious Beliefs that “we” (that is, us collaborating with our programmers and our Karma) use to keep our Hidden Genius Forbidden.
Hopefully we will use each Initiation and Cycle to skim the Edges off of those Beliefs so we can get closer and closer to Embracing the Held Emotions at their Core. Alternately, we’d be likely to use the Initiations and Cycles to cement our Karma further into Stone – we do that every time we re-Experience the Energy as its Victim, rather than using the Opportunity to become Conscious and Adept with it.
We used to say “Master,” but we’ve changed that to “Adept” to eliminate any connotation of Slavery or Hierarchy, which as elements of the Patriarchy, are dead meat.
The New Cycle was Initiated at the last Equinox, 23 March, in 28 Sagittarius. That’s the Galactic Center, so this Cycle means business. 28 Sagittarius is about “An old bridge over a beautiful stream is still in constant use.” Without the Bridge we’d have to Wade the Stream, or Endure the Emotion. So this year and the next few, we get to rediscover and use Ancient Techniques for Letting Go of the Restraints on our Forbidden Genius.
The Arch, which allowed folks to build Bridges when felling a tree or two didn’t work, like the Wheel, was a Miracle when someone “first” Channeled the idea. Before they Channeled the notion of Brakes, the Wheel probably killed a lot of folks, and early imperfectly implemented Arches probably tumbled on a lot of heads too. If you’ve ever tried building a small stone Arch, you know that it’s still a Miracle. When we think of Miracles, we think of Chiron, so maybe one of our Ancient Techniques is Empathy – Poor-Sweethearting ourself.
“You Poor Sweetheart, you don’t have Permission to let your Greatest Genius Shine through to the rest of the World, do you.”
The Planet is a giant jigsaw Puzzle, and Each one of us is a piece in the Puzzle. Before it can come together into a Collaborative, Peaceful, Magical World, Enough of us need to stop hiding our Light under a Basket, and Let the World Enjoy it. The other pieces that mate with it are Waiting. Yes, the Boundaries of those Limitations and Restraints are tinged with Pain, but with our current Rebirth, they’re worth Testing again, as the Pain may have Magically Dispersed.
If it hasn’t disappeared, the best way I know to Magically Disperse Pain is with Warmth and Softness. Locate it in your Body. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the right place; here it’s Intention that counts. Warm that place with your Hand, while you Imagine the flesh around it getting Soft and Receptive. That brings in Blood, Energy from the Heart. When your mind wanders, patiently bring it back to Focus on the place where Pain still resides. When the Pain moves, you can Follow it, or you can take a break from the exercise – when the Pain moves, you’ve succeeded in breaking the Trance.
The Physical World is not Distinct or Separate from the World of Emotions or Spirit or thoughts or Beliefs or Limitations. Each is just an alternate view of the Unity, as if you were walking around a house to see it from all angles. Moving Pain in your Body and Shifting Limiting Beliefs are Surrogates for one another. That’s another Miracle – how often has anyone in your Culture showed you how to Shift the Physical World by Shifting your Emotions or your Thoughts or your Prayers. How often have you succeeded at it?
More than once I’m sure, but it’s still a Miracle, isn’t it, because it’s outside of our Birdcage-Belief that the Physical and Emotional and Mental and Spiritual Worlds are “Levels” Distinct from one another. Time to Realize that if you’ve seen these Miracles even once, it’s your Birdcage-Belief in Separation that’s Obsolete and Limiting. Time to Realize that Trust is what Separates Doubt from Faith. Doubt kills Miracles, Faith Creates them. You can’t fake Trust, but you can Intend it.
Imagine how Powerful you will be – using your Power for the Benefit of All, including yourself, of course – when you can address every roadblock in your path with Tools from ALL FOUR of your Toolbelts – Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, Mental. It doesn’t matter which of these Realms your roadblock Manifests in. You can address it with All Four. And many others – for instance, to these four astrology adds Creation, Stabilization, and Mutation.
You can Create a detour around your roadblock, Stabilize a Bridge over it, or Mutate it into a smooth path – in any of the Four Realms that you once considered to be Levels of Reality. You probably once considered them to be Hierarchical Levels even, where one was better than another, or at least more equal than the others. Hierarchies are dead meat, as is Separation. Imagine Living at the Edges where Spirit and Matter meet. Guess what – that’s where all Conscious Entities Live. And all Entities are Conscious, whether or not we’ve Conceived of their Identity as Entities yet.
This is where we’re going. Pure Magic, relative to where we’ve been. Take a Deep Breath and Imagine every roadblock in your Life dissolving into Nothing. This is the Rebirth we’re Experiencing right now. Breathe It In.
Now the End of the Patriarchy is a pretty Big Ending. See if you can figure out who said this…
“The top seven stories today are all guys getting blown up, and these are not small guys. I think it’s going to unfold like the Tea Party, only bigger. It’s not Me Too. It’s not just sexual harassment. It’s an anti-patriarchy movement. Time’s up on 10,000 years of recorded history. This is coming. This is real.”
We’ll give you some time to think about it, and then later we’ll give you the answer.
Here’s a story about Ending a Pattern and Choosing to Embrace an alternative…
“By the power that you access within yourselves, you are able to produce new timelines, new probabilities, and therefore, new experiences. We are always going to encourage you to go within yourselves to discover the power that you possess. Your power is in your ability to focus. You are focusers of energy, and you are accessing vibrations all the time.
“When you realize how powerful you are, and when you recognize that your power lies within you and in the present moment, that is when you will truly begin to create your reality consciously. By demonstrating to yourselves how powerful you are, and that you can be trusted with that power, you enable yourselves to experience the new timelines that you create.
“When you are focusing on the past, or projecting out into the future similar results that you’ve achieved previously, you disempower yourselves. You become more reactionary than creation-oriented. Creation is the name of the game. It’s what you came here to do. You create, and you experience. You experience, get information, and make choices about what you want to create next.
“Now, there are ways in which you can access your power that you have not yet discovered. These will be coming to you as downloads that you will unlock, but the power is there. The power is already within you. Accessing your power is as easy as acknowledging that you have it, focusing within yourself, and activating a vibration.
“If you begin by accessing vibrations for the sheer enjoyment of it, you will recognize that you create your experience in the now moment. You create an experience of the now moment, and that now moment expands out. It becomes what you call the future. And when you walk in your power, you can access any future experience you desire. And you are ready. You are ready to experience just how powerful you are.”
Now, as for Ending the Patriarchy…
“The top seven stories today are all guys getting blown up, and these are not small guys. I think it’s going to unfold like the Tea Party, only bigger. It’s not Me Too. It’s not just sexual harassment. It’s an anti-patriarchy movement. Time’s up on 10,000 years of recorded history. This is coming. This is real.”
You’ve undoubtedly noticed that the 3 December Full Moon chart is quite busy, peppered with nine out of twelve “corners” or points within a few Degrees of the 12-Degree Full Moon. (We always round UP to the next Degree – 11:00 is expressed as 11 Degrees, but 11:01 through 11:59 is expressed as 12 Degrees; to make sense of this, consider that Aries 0:21 is in the first Degree of Aries.) We’ve often seen this sort of Pattern busy-ness, but it’s usually been in the 20-30-Degree range. The latest example was the most recent New Moon (https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2017/11/18/scary-new-moon/). That chart has eight “corners” in it – that is, eight of the twelve Signs were activated within a few Degrees of the 27-Degree New Moon.
Well, this is significant, because we often promote the Trioctile Angle as a signifier of Insight – the Trioctile is three eighths of the way ’round the Loop, and the Eighth Harmonic implies Rebalancing while the Third Harmonic means Love with Wisdom. So the Trioctile Guides us toward Adjusting our trajectory so it’s more Aligned with the Directions we’re Intending to go. The Trioctile is 4½ Signs, and since half a Sign is 15 Degrees, 4½ Signs from the 12-Degree Full Moon is 27 Degrees of the Signs that are appropriately distant. So with many 12ish Degrees and many 27ish Degrees Lit Up, we can expect to Encounter a lot of Trioctiles, and hence a lot of Insights.
While our major emphasis in astrology is on the Angles between planets, there are so many of those (one for each pair of planets) that we focus on Configurations – where the Angles form a familiar Pattern and sum to 360 Degrees, which fills the Circle. The Configuration that results from two adjacent Trioctiles is the Mjölnir, which is two Trioctiles that join on one end, and on the other end are separated by three Signs (a “Square”). Since a Square represents a Challenge (to Mastery of course), Insights about how to Respond to it are always welcome. So we consider the Mjölnir to represent Epiphany.
And with lots of planets near 12 Degrees and lots of planets near 27 Degrees, we have to Expect many Epiphanies. What do we actually find in this Full Moon chart? Eight Mjölnirs, eight Epiphanies. That’s Exciting…
The red lines are of course the Squares, and the ghostly metallic lines the Trioctiles. How do we read them? The planet at the tip of the Mjölnir triangle is a likely messenger to deliver Insights about Frustrations that the Squares create. Let’s start with a relatively simple example…
The Square from Moon to Orcus, both Trioctile to Juno. The Square tells us that we’re Challenged (Square) to Align our Vows and Promises (Orcus, which is Stationary, or Strong) with our Passion for WhatWeWant to Manifest (Moon). Since we are Co-Creators or Manifesters by nature, when we have Blocks to Manifestation – for instance Vows of Poverty or Chastity or Revenge, perhaps Past-Life – we need to move the Blocks out of our Field. The Mjölnir tells us how, in this case by Expanding our Consciousness (Juno symbolizes the Growing Edges of our Consciousness).
There are lots of way to Expand our Consciousness. For instance, we could take Inventory of what we Judge as Unworthy, Intuitively Choose one (by Pendulum or dart or coin-toss for instance, if one doesn’t jump out at us), and then PIAVA what it would take to Extend our Unconditional Love toward what we’ve been Judging. PIAVA is important here, because the Edges of our Consciousness are well Defended by the Ego, and normal thought processes will steer us away from Breakthroughs that will actually Expand our Consciousness.
If Epiphany isn’t forthcoming on its own, it would be an excellent time to PIAVA Insights into what Blocks our Manifestation.
Orcus, whose Station is Exact 8 December (8pm PST), extends this Full Moon.
The other seven Mjölnirs or potential Epiphanies…
Blocks to WhatWeWant to Manifest that seem to be “Fated” or caused by circumstances beyond our Control, or which make us Believe that it’s not Possible to Manifest WhatWeWant (Moon Squaring Lachesis-Neptune); Watch for Actions that are completely out of Character, and which may not seem related to What We Want to Manifest (Mars-Haumea, or Birth of New Actions), and Indulge them.
Let’s pick an example at random – suppose we Want Community, and we get a sudden urge to start a Garden (which we’ve never done), and then when we go shopping for a shovel we happen to meet folks who make Community around Gardening. It will be important for the next several weeks to Trust unfamiliar urges – the Weirder the better.
Issues of Trust, Confidence, or Self-Love that interfere with WhatWeWant out of Life (Eurydike Squaring Sappho-Chariklo); Watch for apparently-unrelated Fear that arises, seemingly out of nowhere (Sedna).
The more out-of-the-blue the Fear, the more likely it is to apply. When Fear Overwhelms us, we’re usually Motivated to get Grounded again as soon as we can, by Tapping for instance. That allows us to distinguish Present-Moment Danger from Regressions, and to Choose appropriate Actions, if any. But in this case, seemingly-randomly-sourced Fear is our Intuitive Vehicle, and we want to ride it rather than Control it.
We “ride” Fear by first locating it in our Body. If it’s Diffuse, just pick a place where it appears to be more Intense than elsewhere. Put All of your Attention directly into the center of that place, and hold it there. When your Attention Wanders, no Judgment, just bring it back. When the Intensity or location of the Fear Changes, you’ve succeeded. You can keep following it if you want, or if it’s dissipated, you can just Change the Subject.
This sort of Focused Attention is like a Poor-Sweetheart; other than relaxation of the Emotional Charge, you won’t notice immediate “results,” ie, your Fairy Godmother may not appear in the flesh. However, you will have Changed, and when you Change, the Universe Changes. Not just because the atom of the Universe that is you has Changed, but because the Universe that you see is a Mirror for Who You Are. For instance, you may have started this process Believing that you would never be able to do public speaking because you are too shy. But then, a week afterward, you find yourself speaking in public and enjoying it. You may not even remember that you used to eschew it.
And by the way, this Focused-Attention process works very well for any sort of Discomfort in your Body. Try it while you’re waiting for a dental appointment for your next infected root canal, for instance, or while waiting in the emergency department to get your next broken bone set.
Get the idea?
The Desire to Act Differently, to Do New Things, or just to Be Someone Else, abrogated by a Little – or Loud – Voice telling you “You cannot do that, it breaks all the rules you learned in school” (Juno Square Mars-Haumea); Watch for what you’re Inspired to Create, and put your Attention into Creating that (Moon), rather than Focusing on the stalemate between your Wants and your Stops.
After a while you can pause and just Sit Still for a while, and look to see if your Little Voice is still as Insistent. You may even Discover that what you’ve Created has satisfied your Desire and for the Moment completely bypassed your Stops.
Great Difficulty Setting Boundaries that Allow you to Be your True Self All of the Time, abetted by our Programming that we have to be “Nice” or the Sky will fall, and our Programming that it’s not Safe to be Completely Vulnerable (Juno Square Uranus-Pallas-Moira); Watch for subtle reminders of Promises or Vows that you have made in the current Lifetime or others (Orcus, which is Stationary).
This is a Biggie that we’ve been struggling with since 2012 or before, as we’ve Striven toward Yintegrity – toward Doing what we Feel Like Doing, Moment to Moment, instead of Doing what we said we would do or Doing what’s “right” according to someone else’s Rules. Yintegrity is an important part of the Unconditional Trust in our Intuition that we need in order to step into 5D.
Places in your Life where you Habitually “Live a Lie,” where you are Compelled to Act in ways that you’ve been forced to Learn, rather than ways that are Natural to Who You Really Are (Sun Square Orcus, which is Stationary); Watch for any Discomfort around Boundaries (Uranus-Pallas-Moira). You’ve always felt this Discomfort, you’ve just never really Noticed it before.
One of the simplest examples might be what you Habitually say when someone asks you “How are you?” You might still say the same thing, but then you might catch yourself wishing you’d been more explicit or more Honest or more Vulnerable. If that happens, don’t Hesitate to say “Wait a minute, Let me turn off the autopilot! I’m really…” – and then go ahead and Be more explicit or Honest or Vulnerable.
There are two Stellia (groups of three or more planets) involved that make the rest of this really complicated…
You know Exactly what you Need to Do, but you Hesitate because your Programming doesn’t Believe you’ll be Safe if you Do it (Mnemosyne-Aletheia Square to Jupiter-Vesta-Hopi-Karma, with Mnemosyne Stationary); Imagine yourself Doing what you Need to Do, and Feel your Fear about Survival, then when you’re in the thick of it, Poor-Sweetheart yourself (Chiron).
This one’s tricky because you have so many Masters in the Unconscious. There is the Master that Demands that you Grow, the Master that defines the Edges of Safety for you, the Master that Condemns your Lack of Unconditional Love, and the Master that reminds you of all the places where you Believe yourself to have Failed, and reminds you of all the “Lessons you’ve Learned” from those Failures.
Of course that’s all Krap, there are no Failures, only Experiences, and those aren’t “Lessons,” they’re Unconscious Limitations. And how can you Condemn a Lack of Unconditional Love – you can only Unconditionally Love any Lack. The Edges of Safety are only what keeps the Ego from Growing, and no one Grows from Demands, only from Surrender. All of which arguments are Meaningless because they’re just words.
You have to go in there and Merge with each Master, Feel their Power, then move your Identity to Yourself as their Slave and Feel your own Powerlessness under their Control. Then Poor-Sweetheart yourself. Then wait a day, and do the same with the next Master. You might well find more Masters than the four I’ve mentioned.
Now the Biggie…
By Galactic Order, your Planet is Raising Her Vibration. It’s not Forced, it’s an Order that She Rejoices under, because She knows it’s the Culmination of the current stage of Her Evolution. As atoms of Her Essence, like it or not our own Vibration is Rising as well, requiring a lot of Adjustments. Our task is to Avoid being Victim to these Adjustments (Chiron Square to Ixion-Saturn-Mercury-Pholus-Quaoar-Galactic Center); For this one we tune our Mindfulness to Honestly Being Fully Present with the Memories and Emotions that arise (Mnemosyne, which is Stationary, and Aletheia).
The Eighth Harmonic itself is all about Adjustments and Rebalancing, and these Mjölnirs are well tempered with Grace from their fusion with the Third Harmonic.
Mnemosyne’s Exact Station 6 December (3pm PST) represents an Extension of this Full Moon, and these Memories, and being Fully Present (Aletheia) with the Emotions they Evoke, are Key to Acknowledging our Rising Vibration. What Memories? Subtle, aren’t they. If they weren’t on the Edge of Awareness we’d have Faced them long ago.
Know anyone who is dying, or has recently died? What Emotions does that Evoke, and more important, what Emotions does it not Evoke because you’re Programmed to Suppress them? These “Held,” or Suppressed Emotions, are the currency of Enlightenment. The more successfully we’ve Suppressed them, and the longer we’ve Suppressed them, the less Awareness we have of them. If they’re still invisible to you, PIAVA that they contact you, Lovingly and Gently.
Once they Arise, or if they’re already Present and clinging to us like Slugslime, our task is to Embrace them Lovingly. We can use Focused Attention on them to our advantage. Remember that Love is Soft and Warm, while Fear is Cold and Hard. Find them in your Body and Soften them, Warm them. You can’t wash or rub off Slugslime, but there’s a trick – Grass will take it off. Which is the clue – bare feet or a butt (sure, bare is better, but optional) on the Earth, especially with your back to the trunk of a Tree, will Drain slimy Emotions (and their dis-ease counterparts) rapidly. Lying on your back on the Earth, facing the Sky works well too.
Let’s disassemble that Square…
Dwarf planet and Centaur Chiron tempts us to Respond as Victim, and the Antidote is Poor-Sweethearting ourself. If you’re new to the Feminine Perspective, we talk about Poor-Sweethearting at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2017/05/11/poor-sweethearting/. You can also look it up in the Categories list. The “Centaurs” orbit between Jupiter and Neptune, with orbits of about fifty years.
Dwarf planet and Plutoid Ixion symbolizes our Forbidden Genius. There is a part of us that is so Magnetic and so Bright that our Programmers felt the need to make us Ashamed of it, so it wouldn’t blind them. We’ve been working to Recover this part of ourself for a while now. If you haven’t unchained yours and invited them up out of the Dungeon yet, there’s still time. Focus on What You’d Never Do In Public even in a million-dollar bet. That’s what needs your Unconditional Love. This part of every one of us is mandatory for our 5D Community. The “Plutoids” orbit between Neptune and Sedna, with orbits in several to many hundreds of years.
Saturn symbolizes The Most Important Thing. When Saturn is Lit Up we’re being Asked to Let Go of all of our fallbacks, and put All of our Attention on Priority Number One. If you aren’t sure what that is (it should be Intuitively Obvious), PIAVA Guidance. Hint: it’s about all of the things in this list. If you don’t know Lady PIAVA, you can find out about her at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava-review/.
Mercury stands for Awareness. Here’s one artificial aid…
Dwarf planet and Centaur Pholus means Responsibility. That means Being Responsive to, it doesn’t mean Being Blamed for. Blame is about assigning Guilt about the Past. Responsibility means taking charge of improving Future Outcomes. Eliminating all Blame from our intellectual and Emotional Reality is another mandatory prerequisite for Enlightenment and 5D.
Dwarf planet and Plutoid Quaoar (“Q” for short on the chart) represents our Survival Instincts. We Regress or Ignore them at our peril – as many in the US are doing. No Blame; they’ll get theirs. He who farts in church sits in their own pew, as the old saying goes. Just move to the other side of the church.
“GC” in the chart stands for “Galactic Center.” That’s Sagittarius A, the Black Whole around which our Galaxy revolves. Galactic Headquarters. We’ve talked at length about how Fate and Free Will are a Duality, an Either/Or, which betrays their status as an intellectualization rather than a Reality. So it’s not like it is in the Space-War movies. The Human intellect is Dual, Reality is Unitary and Multifarious. We Create our own Future by becoming Conscious of our Choices, by Letting Go of the Archetypes that bind us to Habitual knee-jerk Behavior and betray our Presence in each Moment (Again, seeArrival, above).
If you’re thinking “My God that’s a Lot!!!” you’re right on track. This is the Plot, and as Overwhelming as it is, it’s easy to lose. See how long you can Avoid Victimhood.
