Full House

Luckily, Friday the 13th falls on a Saturday this month, because Friday the 12th is a Big Day for us, as two Important New Cycles Initiate in the same Degree, two Signs apart (Grace, once we Act first), within a day of each other. We introduced the Conjunctions in our Discussion of the 5 May 2023 Full Moon, and now we get the full Initiations. Conjunctions or Mergers occur whenever two planets are within a few Degrees of one another; Initiations occur when a Conjunction Begins a New Cycle between the two.

The God of Nature Gets His Walking Orders from The Field of Life

Asteroid Pan, symbolizing the Ultimate God of Nature, Begins a New Cycle with dwarf planet Altjira, representing the Field of Life, to negotiate the terms of their dance together for the next 15 months. Altjira is out beyond Pluto, while Pan is a dangerous near-Earth asteroid with an Orbit of less than 2 years. Altjira Initiates Pan on 12 May 2023 at UT 12:01 (PDT 5:01 am, BST 1:01 pm, IST 5:30 am, AEST 10:01 pm), in 18 Gemini, Perfect Attunement to the New Energies, and home to the Bright Star Rigel at the left foot of Orion, which is about Teaching.

In our sheltered Lives, we usually assume the Life depends on Other Hupers, but nothing is furthur from the Truth..

“The elemental rulers are the architects of form who bring together form in its many designs, visible and invisible. They hold the knowledge of Life in Balance. These rulers can best be described as the collective intelligence of the elemental streams of life and power (earth, air, fire, and water) that are at the very foundations of the natural world. The elementals are intermediary beings between the inner out-flowing dynamic of Creation (the plane of forces) and the outer expressive (the plane of effects). The elementals are the beings that transmit, through their blessed bodies, the streams of power that incarnate our bodies.” –Orion Foxwood, The Tree of Enchantment, pp.107-108.

Considering the Chronic Destructiveness of Western Civilization, Altjira is likely to be Asking Pan to turn the thumbscrews on Patriarchic Huperity a little tighter, as Huperity still obviously has not gotten the message that he’s shitting on the floor in everyone else’s Living Room, let alone his own. Looks like Pan will be using Heat Torture this year, and probably Fire again. Nothing like Fire to get someone to Notice.

The Paragon of Despair and Miracle Advises the Goddess of Expired Karma

Asteroid Atropos correlates with the Expiry of Karma, just as Goddess Atropos was in charge of it. That makes Atropos the ‘Roid tremendously Valuable to us, because she can tell us what to Look For when we’re Working on thinning out our Karma. Atropos Begins a New 4-year Cycle with dwarf planet Chiron on 13 May at UT 9:23 (PDT 2:23 am, BST 10:23 am, IST 3:53 pm, AEST 7:23 pm), Beginning a New Cycle at 18 Aries, Irrepressible Intuition of the Extranormal.

Wouldn’t it be Great to dump our Despair Karma! Chiron of course correlates with Despair and its Attending Miracles, when we’re able to Poor-Sweetheart ourself, Change the Subject, and Exit our Discouragement. That’ll work in the short term, but to make it permanent we’ll have to overcome our Addictive tendency to go looking for our Comfortable Old Friend Karma when it goes Missing. The key to getting Conscious about that is Noticing that we’re Missing our security blanket.

I can’t believe we haven’t labeled a Category for Noticing or Pattern-Breaking yet, so we’ll have to go over the process again – we haven’t in a while..

Letting Go of Karma

Our Karma is Fated only as long as it remains Unconscious. Once we’re Conscious of it, it becomes Choice. Each atom of Karma is a SuperPower that’s Spoilt by our Habit of Exercising it whether it’s Appropriate or not. Once we Realize that Habits, like hitting the Brakes Instantly when someone runs in front of our car, are extraordinarily Powerful, we can stop slamming the Brakes every time we Fear that someone might run in front of our car, or that someone might Prevent us from Enjoying What We Want.

The first step toward Letting Go of Karma or any other untoward Habit, is to Notice that we’re repeating a Pattern whether it’s useful or not. Like saying “Fine” when we’re Asked How We Are. That’s fine for Strangers, but it’s not conducive to Intimacy with our close Community. While they’re different in Nuance, it’s worthwhile to consider that any Pattern we repeat Compulsively, without first considering its relevance to the situation, is Karmic.

The second step is to convert our natural Vicious Circle to a Virtuous Spiral, by Congratulating Ourself for Noticing. If we Notice and then React with Damn! There I Go Again! we’re Negatively Reinforcing the Pattern. Our Karma resides in the Unconscious, and the Unconscious always Negates Negativity. So Cursing ourself does the double negative thing and Positively Reinforces the Undesirable Habit, even if we’ve stopped ourself from Exercising the Habit again.

We’d rather Positively Reinforce the Unknown Alternative, so we Congratulate ourself for Noticing. Even if we’ve already Cursed ourself, we can Revert, Cancel-Neutralize-Upgrade, and then Congratulate Ourself. Each time we Repeat the Pattern or Curse ourself for it, we Cement the Karma a little deeper. Each time we Congratulate Ourself, we chip away some of the grout. The more we Congratulate Ourself, the faster we Notice, and the faster we Notice, the Easier it gets – a Self-Reinforcing Spiral.

The third step is to Do Something Different. It doesn’t matter what – for now we’re just Breaking the Old Habit. So when an Intimate asks us How Are You?, instead of Fine we might say, Gawd, Did you Hear what Trump did Now? or anything else nonsensical. Or we might turn in a circle three times, if we really want to weird them out – which would be a great opening to Explaining to them What We’re Doing – they’re an Intimate after all.

You’ll likely be Amazed at how quickly this process will abort a Karmic Pattern that we’ve been running forever. The fourth step is to substitute a Response that’s more relevant to the situation. For a Community member that you’re not Close with, you might say something like Achey, but then I’m Old or I’m Doing Pretty Well. For a Community member that you’d like to be Closer to, you might say Oh, My Headaches Are Much Better, and since they didn’t know you had Headaches (because you don’t), you’ve got a nice conversation-starter going.

The God of Nature and the Paragon of Despair and Miracle Conspire

The fact that these two Impactful New Cycles Begin together in time and in the same Degree, mean that they’re very much in cahoots. Since Pan is pretty much Ubiquitous, Omnipresent, and Pluripotent, He can work at Lightning Speed. In fact, he often uses Lightning to get folks’ Attention. Atropos is a bit slower, as She has to wait for the work of her Sister Lachesis, who determines the Length of the Karmic Chord, to ripen.

We don’t really need to Wait Around, since Karma itself Died when Linear Time did in 2012, so All Karma has actually Expired. But being Creatures of Habit who Cling to our Investments as long as we possibly can and then some more, we’re a little more Responsive to Atropos. When will the Clear-Cutters in British Columbia, for instance, Notice – or Care – that the Landslides they Manifest are burying the towns that their Employees live in? Probably not till they’re Sued for it, if then. Collateral Damage – part of the job, Not My Problem – the Profits are far more Important than the People, the People are replaceable.

These Initiations are Sextile, not Conjunct, but since we actually rely on the “30-Degree Wheel” – Imagining that all twelve Signs are Collapsed into one – that doesn’t matter to us. It means that the Intimately Merged Life-Nature Connection remains Separate enough from the Intimately Merged Despair-Karma Connection that they can Collaborate, which is a Boon. If the two Mergers were totally Merged with each other, we’d just be Confused, and I’m guessing that it’s still a small minority of Hupers who Realize that Confusion is the First Stage of Growth, and in the case of Mergers, an Early Stage of Enlightenment.

As these two New Cycles interact over the next two years, Chiron – Despair – becomes the Fulcrum of Change. The People who Live in the Indonesian Rainforest whose Lives are being Sacrificed for EV Profits, are considered SOL. There’s even a few people in the Urban West who’ve conceived of Walkable Cities as an alternative to more cars or even replacing gas-guzzlers with electron-guzzlers, but the notion is criticized by those whose Profits depend on replacing cars rather than eliminating them.

On the other hand, COVID’s Remote Work requirement convinced a lot of people that Living a Life Centered Around a Car stalled in a traffic jam on a freeway was a total Pain in the Arse, a Pain that was worth a lot of Lifestyle Adjustments to Avoid.

After an increase in Compassion following the George Floyd murder, cities in the USofA are reverting to Criminalizing Homelessness. It took an Economic Collapse as severe as 1935 before the Oligarchs Fell and such radical programs as Social Security – which is merely an Insurance Policy with Expensive Premiums where the government confiscates the Premiums instead of Investing them, allowing the Right to refer to it as “Entitlements” – were put together.

The Chart of the Paired Initiations..

..Is a Full House – Self-Resolving Challenges (T-Squares) in all three Modalities…

• In the Cardinal/Creative Signs, the Remover of Obstacles Ganesh (asteroid Ganesa) Handles the Tension between Amplified Respect for All Things (Hopi Out of Bounds) and Expiry of Despair Karma (Chiron-Atropos Initiation). Ganesa sits in 17 Cancer, The Struggle and the Courage to Resist Abandoning One’s True Self, adjacent to the Fixed Star Canopus, Pathfinding.

“This is a time of challenge that needs us to anchor deeply into our incarnate self and take responsibility, and fully show up in our Presence. One of the first things we must do is understand that we are not alone. Everything around us is alive and in its own way has sentience. We are part of a field of life and activity, a commons of Gaian life that we are woven into and in daily relationship with. Then, we must learn to honor all of that life around us and to realize that ‘All our relations’ can be allies in facing the challenges ahead.” –Timothy Hass, The Wonder-Full World of the Home Second Story, p.28.

• In the Mutable/Changing Signs, the Stellium of Klotho (New Karma), Pandora (Hope), and Nessus (Abuse and Privilege) – Hope for the Beginning of the End for the Patriarchy – Absorbs the Stress between Exaggerated Ego Death (Requiem Out of Bounds) and Pan’s Bargain with Gaia (Altjira-Pan Initiation). The Klotho-Pandora-Nessus Stellium is in the Libra Duad of Pisces, where, after Shedding our Load of Emotional Baggage and Creating a Whole New Version of our True Self from New StarStuff, we Meet Other again. It’s Important here to Drop All Expectations, if you haven’t already!

• In the Fixed/Stable Signs, Our Individual Soul (Uranus) takes the Heat generated by the Argument between Our Instincts (the Moon) and Efforts to Balance Sovereignty and Codependence, Aided by Help from the Other Side (Stellium of Artesian/Aid to Manifestation, Black Moon Lilith/Self-Sovereignty, and Hybris/Self-Respect). Uranus is in 20 Taurus, Done with Karma, Totally Lost in Darkness, Till we Notice the Light from Inside.

There’s a Vacancy in each Modality, ergo there are no Grand Trines (Dumb-Luck Grace), so we have to Sit With any intermediate Discomfort as the Self-Resolution of the Fingers of the Goddess will provide more Mystery than Grace. A useful key for dealing with Mystery is our Ability to Accept apparent Contradictions as Paradoxes, Realizing that the Mind only does Either/Or, while Reality only does Both/And. The Resolution is out there in nD, so it’s Invisible to us from 3D.

Making that Leap into Cognitive Dissonance, where we’re Comfortable holding two or more Contradictory Perspectives in mind at the same time, is a Powerful tool to help Prepare us for Approaching 5D. Notice that this is a Bullet to the Brain of Cognitive Psychology, as useful as that may be for Adjusting to Oligarchic Society.

The Vacancies are..

• 17 Capricorn, Striving Creates More Striving; Making Room for What We Want Allows It to Manifest, home of Fixed Star Rugbat, Steadiness, Consistency, the Stubbornness to Insist on Long-Term Solutions over Shortcuts. Adjacent to the Star Wega, Magical and Charismatic Artistic Skills.
• 20 Scorpio, Dedicated to the Path but Challenged by Spiritual Pride till Spiritual Guidance Reigns.
• 17 Virgo, An Ornery Hermit Due to Excessive Sensitivity.

Locating and Exercising any of these Qualities in ourselves, will be a Boon as we Adjust to the Rapidly Changing Requirements for Survival over the next several years. If we have any natal planets in or adjacent to one of those Degrees, it will Behoove us to Invite them to the Dance. Interesting “coincidence” – my natal asteroid Karma sits in one of those Degrees.

Soul and Guilt II

Reader Mandala writes,

“Just because time passes, it does not diminish or make disappear the actions we have done to manipulate and deceive others. They are always in the subconscious no matter how hard we try to forget or not admit the truth. They instead manifest in illness and disease. I am not referring to myself. You can run, you can emigrate, but you can not hide. The lies and malevolence travel with you.
“…I only wrote this this morning and it I think completely resonates with your post. This arises from a family matter, things in the dark coming to light which I have not yet confronted.”

[I made a few small changes to clarify what I perceived to be Mandala’s Intention, though I may or may not have guessed right. My Apologies if I haven’t.].

Good point, Mandala, and relevant to most if not all of us, I’m sure! And Powerful, with Pluto Stationary as we speak. We can use this even with Oil Companies, Authoritarians, Bullies, and other Fascists and Politicians of any sort.

We’ll deal with “They” later, but first we have to Pay Attention to Our Own Karma. We want to be very Attentive to Judgments of others, and to Blaming Others for our own Discomfort. We can only Change Ourself, and even though there may be a direct connection in Linear Time between someone else’s Actions and our Emotional Reactions, that does not imply Causation, because the Real Cause of our Discomfort is often deeper in Linear Time (ie, Karmic). That’s particularly True when our Reaction is Strong, though a lesser Reaction may easily still be Karmic but Repressed a bit.

This is a complicated Concept, so let me try to find an example. Suppose someone – we’ll call them “Pat” for convenience – lies to me or hurts me behind my back, then later I find out, and my Body Reacts with Anger. In Linear Time, my Anger is completely Justified, and it’s Fresh, so it’s hard to Let Go Of. At this point, my Anger is appropriate, because I will probably be better off tentatively Stiffening my Boundaries with “Pat.” It’s an excellent time to “use our Mirrors,” and we can talk about that later if you remind us.

Once I do Stiffen my Boundaries, at least Conceptually or Internally (“Hmmm, maybe this person is not Trustworthy”) if not Socially (“Say, Pat, can we talk about something?”), I need to work with my own Anger to keep it from Impacting my own Life Negatively. Feeling Anger is not conducive to Clean Manifestation, and Judgment is a perfect example of Thoughts-About-Our-Emotions leading us into the same Karmic trap that Mandala describes for “Pat,” but where “we can run, but we can not hide, as the Anger travels with us.” Manifestation includes the Co-Creation of things like Enlightenment, so by “Manifestation” I’m not implying Materialism.

My favorite process for working with any Heavy Emotion is to shift from the Perspective of Emotion to the Perspective of Sensation. Take a nice long Time-Out in a quiet place. Consciously Relax your Body, and take several Deep Breaths with both Inhale and Exhale through your Nose, each Inhale filling more of your Torso, till your In-Breath fills you up to your Chin. Close your Eyes, and Scan your Body for Tension. Breathing through our Nose Relaxes our Fight-or-Flight Response.

With Anger, jaw and belly are good candidates, but the Tension could be anywhere. When you find it, Move as much of your Attention into it as you can, and Hold it there. As in Meditation (“Oh, there’s Thinking Again! Thanks for Contributing, but give us a few minutes, we’re doing something else right now”), your mind will wander, and you want to Lovingly and Gently return it to the Tension in your Body. The Tension may be in several places, but start with one place – for instance, where it’s most Intense.

Hold/Return your Attention to the place of Tension until the Tension Moves. Our Aim is to be Loving and Gentle with the Tension. It may help to Remember that Love is Soft and Warm, Fear is Cold and Hard. Thank Stephen Levine for that Eternal Pearl. Using your Hand to Warm the place of Tension is a good idea. The Heat coming from your Palm is exactly the right frequency of Far Infrared that Heals most effectively – isn’t that a “Coincidence”! Either Hand will work. Softening is mostly in your Imagination, which is fine.

Once the Tension Moves, you can Follow it, or shift to another place of Tension in your Body if one remains. If you have the time, doing this till you Feel Relaxed and Whole is a good idea. If it becomes Difficult at any point, Ground yourself with a little Food, or by Imagining a cable from the base of your Spine to the center of the Earth.

Chlorite-Included Quartz is an Excellent Aid for Healing and Relaxing Body Tissue. Chlorite is considered a Mica or Phyllosilicare, where the Cations (+) are Iron, Magnesium, and Aluminum, and the Anions (-) are Silicate units arranged in sheets. However, Chlorite more often takes the form of a Clay than a Mica. You can see some alignment of the green Chlorite in this Quartz Crystal, but it’s due to the growth Pattern of the Host Quartz rather than “sheets” of Chlorite, which usually just looks like pools or splatters of green mud.

The Chlorite is an Impurity “Included” in the Tektosilicate Host Quartz Crystal. Tektosilicates arrange their Silicate units in a loose 3D Network – loose in the sense of spacious, leaving lots of room for larger Cations to convert Quartz into other minerals. But Quartz is one of the hardest of minerals in spite of its low density, because the electrical connections are very tight.

Tapping can be a great boon, such as “Even though I Feel Persistent Tension in my Body, I Deeply and Completely Love and Accept Myself...” You can Physically Tap, but Imagining yourself going through the Motions is almost as effective, and may be less disruptive to your Meditation. Poor-Sweethearting might also help, such as “You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Feeling very Tight here, aren’t you.“

Doing this Attending to Tension Practice before using Mirrors is a good idea, though Mirrors are quick and Effective for Emerging Present-Moment issues. Once you Practice Attending to Tension enough to get good at it, you’ll be able to do it in a few minutes, especially with Mirrors, but in the beginning it’ll take longer. I once had to do this for two weeks straight before the Discomfort was Relieved, but that was for an Abscessed Tooth. Anger will probably be easier, though not always. We can Amplify this process by “Running Our Energy,” but we don’t want to try that yet while we’re still in Discomfort. Remind me later and we can talk about Running Energy.

We can’t Love anyone else till we first Love ourself, and of course Enlightenment involves Loving It All, because Love Is All There Is. Fear is just the Void that is the Absence of Love. Attention is our most Powerful Skill and our most Scarce Resource, till we Learn to Manifest it on Command. Attention to Fear is a form of Love. Consciousness is a Powerful form of Love.

But now that we’ve Attended to Our Own Karma, we can worry about Pat’s Karma. Fundamentally, of course, it’s None of our Business and nothing We can Change. Only Pat can. But if we’re Emotionally Attached to someone, we very much try to Make It Our Business. Emotional Attachment is not conducive to Enlightenment for either party, but that’s another issue we can talk about later if you want.

Let’s just worry about Pat’s Karma for now, since that was Top of Mandala’s mind. Our most Powerful Tool for that is Blessing, or PIAVAing – Prayer, Intention, Asking, Visualizing/”Feelizing”, Affirming, and the many other Skills and Forms of Feminine or Magnetic Power. The Simplest and Cleanest form is simply to Pray God/Goddess, Please Give Pat a Blessing. To do much else is an attempt to Control Pat, which on a Free-Will Planet such as ours amounts to a Curse rather than a Prayer.

“Pat can run, Pat can emigrate, but Pat can not hide, the lies and malevolence travel with Pat” sounds like a Truth, and from the Perspective of Karma as Retribution, it is a Truth, but it’s a Truth of the Mind. Truth that Changes when we Change our Assumptions is subject to Debate, it’s Either/Or, 2D. Enlightenment is Both/And, Unitary, Multifarious, and nD. From the Perspective of Love, “Pat can Run…” is a Curse.

Lord knows we Feel this daily about all of the Perps when we read or watch the News. The New Minia are almost all owned by the Oligarchs, and the Oligarchs want us Cursing each other so we have less time to Curse them. There’s only so many Curses we can fit into a Day. “The Oil Companies can Run…” “The War Mongers can Run…” “The Shooters can Run…” “The Perps can Run…” “The Opposition Politicians can Run…”

But it’s also True, and an implicit Curse, that “The Victims can Run…” and as Pogo famously averred, more or less, We have found and Cursed the Victims, and it is Us. Yes, we Perceived ourself to be Harmed by Pat, but before we can deal with Pat, we need to Own our Reaction to our Perceived Harm. The first step toward that is to Recognize it as Blame. Blame is a Universe Unto Itself, and very difficult to Escape, and even to Notice.

A useful rule is that Blame Focuses on the Past and Attributing Cause, while Responsibility – the Ability to Respond instead of React – Focuses on the Future and Changing Outcomes. In Systems intended to be failsafe, Operators never Fail, only Protocols. Blame is a natural consequence of Either/Or, and Religions are the masters of Either/Or, and Blame has no Upside other than Padding Our Ego. Blame and Enlightenment are Mutually Exclusive.

If Pat Feels Guilt, that’s their Issue, not ours. If Pat is interested in Change, we’d recommend that they start by finding any Tension that it causes in their Body. If Pat leans toward the Sociopathic or Psychopathic, that is, doesn’t seem to have a Conscience, like many of today’s World Leaders, that’s a Social Issue. Society is Projecting its Perceived Scarcity on Sociopaths by Worshiping them because much of Society mistakenly Believe that Greed and PowerOver are Good and can Manifest what they Crave.

So yes, Pat may Rot In Hell, but that’s Pat’s Choice. Are they Holding the rest of us Back? Not really. As long as Earth remains a Free-Will Planet, we’ll always have to Tolerate Perceived Self-Sabotage. HerStory has proven many times that Religions only make things worse by using Either/Or to make Identities Rigidly Self-Congratulatory and give Hupers reasons to Condemn Others. Religions of course have proven to be Powerfully Helpful when Addicts reach Bottom, when Folks are Desperate for Community, and when People Feel the Heart-Felt message beneath the Rules, if it’s there.

I know of a Religious denomination where the Preacherman leads a prayer every week that no-shows Experience “neither Rest nor Peace” till they return to the Sunday Services. What sort of PIAVA might be appropriate for Pat? The same sort of PIAVA that would be appropriate for anyone, including ourself – We could Ask or Affirm that All Live in Harmony and Integrity with themself and their Community and Environment, and Contribute Positively to the Well-Being of All.

Now, are we “Blaming the Victim” here? If we’re unable to Detach from Blame, then of course we are. If we can Step Out of Blame, then no, not at all. We’re advising the Victim of Perceived Harm how they can make Meaningful and Effective Change and Exit Victimhood. When “New-Agers” say that We Create Our Own Reality, the “We” that they’re Referring To is not their Ego, but their Soul. Everyone who’s tried to Manifest and not yet Succeeded, knows how Effective it isn’t to try to Manifest from Ego.

Ego is not Egotism or an Insult. Our Ego is our Identity. Each Identity has Edges and Limitations. When we Identify as a Parent, our Edges and Limitations are Different than when we Identify as an Employee or Entrepreneur, or as an Upright Community Member or a Scofflaw or a Partner in a Relationship or a Friend. Our Karma and Programming form Barriers to Identifying with our Soul which can be Difficult to overcome, and our Programming is mostly Karmic.

Mandala, has this been Helpful?

Self-Love Full Moon

Rereading the last few posts, particularly the parts about how Elusive our Unconscious Leghold Traps can be, I’m reminded of Seth’s comment that (paraphrasing) It’s Easy to Know our Karma – it’s Written Clearly in our Personal History!

That doesn’t mean we can easily or always have access to the Karmic replicas of the Held Emotions that result from our acute or chronic Traumas. But it does mean that their Echos, in the form of Repeating Difficulties or Frustrations, should stand out pretty well.

We’re Immersed in our 4-9 April 2023 Time-and-Space Stellium Merging Hidden Genius, Trust, and Global Change.¹

¹ Consecutive Stations in 5-9 Degrees of Ixion Out of Bounds, Eurydike OOB, Pholus, and Quaoar. Ixion (Issues of Social Convention) Stationary till 4 April PDT 5:50 am (BST 1:50 pm, IST 6:20 pm, AEST 10:50 pm), in 5 Capricorn (Full Consciousness of Past Deaths, Potentially Bridging Worlds). Eurydike (Trust Issues) Stationary till 5 April PDT 2:01 am (BST 10:01 am, IST 2:01 pm, AEST 7:01 pm), in 7 Sagittarius (Staying on Your Edge). Pholus (Ability to Respond Fully) Stationary till 6 April PDT 8:10 am (BST 3:10 pm 6th, IST 8:40 pm 6th, AEST 1:10 am 7th) and Quaoar (Our Survival Instincts) Stationary til 8 April PDT 5:28 pm (BST 12:28 am 9th, IST 5:58 am 9th, AEST 10:28 am 9th), both in 9 Capricorn (Fire and Earth Energies United and Exposed), home of the Fixed Star Facies (Combative Relationships).

We refer to Ixion as Hidden Genius because most of have been Programmed to Keep this part of ourself Under Wraps, as it is generally Unacceptable in Polite Society. Till we find our Tribe, in which case we’re Excited to Go Rogue with it – think MAGA, with its Rogue Pathological Narcissism, for example, or Wisconsin Women Voters Breaking Out of their Obedience to the Patriarchy. Many of us are still stuck in the notion that The World has to Change before it’s Safe for us to do so, which just means that we haven’t found our Tribe yet.

5D is not Logical – that’s 2D, where someone assembles Charismatic Rhetoric into a Mantra that Attracts its Tribe. Rhetoric by definition is Attractive but Undefined, so many folks can glue their wagons to it without Examining the Assumptions that link the wagons. Think “Freedom,” one of the most Dangerous of Mantras, which Danger becomes Obvious as soon as you ask a Libertarian what they Really mean by it, if they’re being Honest.

Once our wagon is hitched to a module of Unexamined Charismatic Rhetoric – QAnon, MAGA, 5D, Freedom, Patriotism, Christianity, Islam, Isreal, Justice (pronounced JustUs), Democratic, Twitter, TikTok, Black Lives Matter, Apple Pie, Nature, We Are All One, Green, AI – you’ve already thought of a hundred more – then within our Tribe it’s all Perfectly Logical. For a while. Till someone starts Examining the Mantric Assumption out loud, and then Schisms develop, followed by Fragmentation.

But, if we Want to Help Change the World, we have to Defy Social Convention. If we try to do that Alone, we’re just a Weirdo, and probably a Prevert. With a Tribe we can Go Crazy, and still have our Cocoon. They can’t Arrest All of Us! It used to be Illegal to threaten to Kill Somebody. But it found a Tribe, and now it’s Routine. There’s Room for Millions of Tribes on the Planet. Tribes aren’t the Problem, it’s that Tribes Insist that Everyone Except Their Tribe is Wrong, and has to Change. That’s the Problem with The World has to Change before it’s Safe for us to do so – it’s just more Tribalism.

Our Objection to what’s Wrong with those other Tribes is a Perfect Clue to the Karma we need to Let Go Of. We have Found the Enemy, and It Is Us as that Great Philosopher Pogo liked to say. Our Genius wouldn’t be Hidden if we hadn’t Let our Programmers Shame us about it. We were Outnumbered and Outgunned, we had to Surrender to Survive. But now we need Tribes that are assembled around Positive Functions, what’s Right, not what’s Wrong, and that Realize how All the Tribes Need Each Other. Imagine how Baseball would work if all the Outfielders Tribed Up against the Infielders instead of One Multimillionaire’s Minions against another’s, or all the Firstborn Daughters Tribed Up against the Mothers, or all the Men Conspired to make the Women Feel Inferior. Your Hidden Genius is in fact Genius – it can Figure This Out.

While our Hidden Genius is Learning to Trust that Tribalism is a stage on the way to defining Non-Rhetorical Platforms that can really Impact Global Change rather than just being a Mirror for the Imperfections we like to Hide from ourself because they Trigger our Held Emotions, He/She/They can point their Genius at our own game of Hide-and-Seek. The Major Religions, whose Rhetorical Mantras have been Separating People for Millennia, are still Killing each other. So it should be no Surprise, but in fact a great Blessing, that it will only take until 2081² for Huperity to begin to get Serious about Global Change.

² Pholus’s Waxing Square to Quaoar.

The 5-6 April Full Moon (PDT 9:34 pm 5th, BST 5:34 am 6th, IST 10:04 am 6th, AEST 2:34 pm 6th), occurs in 17 Libra, Sensitivity Sheltered behind Self-Defeating Self-Obsession. Sounds kind of like Hiding from our Held Emotions, doesn’t it, and making Enemies of anyone who Dares to Trigger them. While our Mistrust that Other Tribes will Help Us Survive Global Change (Ixion-Eurydike-Pholus-Quaoar) makes a Stellium in both Time (till 4-9 April) and Space (5-9 Degrees of the Signs), it’s Lucky that it’s not all that’s going on. Simultaneously, Self-Love³ Extends the Stellium, in Time alone.

³ Sappho (Self-Love Issues) Stationary till 4 April PDT 1:46 am (BST 9:46 am, IST 2:16 pm, AEST 6:46 pm), in 17 Leo (Irrepresible Emergence of the Underworld).

Not the sort of Narcissistic Self-Admiration that the Ego uses to Protect its Tribe, but Unconditional Self-Love, the kind that Loves All of Ourself, especially the parts that Trouble us when we See Them Mirrored in Other People. If we want to “Ascend” (another Tribal Mantra, but now we’re going to start defining a Non-Rhetorical Platform that can be Impactful), we have to Ego-Identify with our Soul, and our Soul, while from some Perspectives is Uniquely Ours, it’s also a Unified part of Source, of the All That Is. It’s not so much that We Are All One, it’s more that All of Us are One.

Reality, recall, is Paradoxically Multifarious and Unitary. We need to step outside of 2D to Grok it, but Reality can be Perceived and Appreciated from an Infinite Number of Perspectives, and one very Important Perspective is that It is All One Piece. If Reality is All One Piece, what’s Outside of it? Other Realities. Get used to it. Think an Infinite Loop of Nesting Russian Dolls, if you’d like a Metaphor. Ego-Identifying with Soul Is Ego-Identifying with Source, with the All.

This Self-Love is Unconditional. It Exists Outside of the Fracturing of 2D Language. Discrimination is useful, so we can tell whether that Rhinoceros is Galloping Toward us, or Away from us, or whether that Tesla is Driving Itself. It helps keep us Alive. But our Discrimination doesn’t put the Rhinoceros or the Tesla Outside of Unconditional Self-Love – if we’re Ego-Identified with Source, both the Rhinoceros and the Tesla are Us. We’d just most of the time rather not Merge with the Horn of either at high speed here in 3D.

The 4-5 April Full Moon and the 4 April Station of Self-Love both occur in 17 Degrees. So Sun, Moon, and Sappho form their own Merger in both Time and Space, which Merger is Merged with the Trusting that our Individual and Combined Genius Is Competent to Adapt to Global Change. As Physical Agents of our Unique Soul, we always have the Option to Ascend Physically, as many have already, and Approach from another Perspective. One of that Infinite Number of Possibilities. If we Love them all Unconditionally, our Genius is Free to Choose the Most Effective one.

For much of what we do, we use what’s called a “90-Degree Wheel.” That is, we consider two planets that are three or six signs from each other to be virtually “in the same Place.” If we plot Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn on top of one another, then our Squares and Oppositions are suddenly Obvious. And when we aver that 5-9 Capricorn (Ixion and Pholus-Quaoar) and 7 Sagittarius (Eurydike) are “in the same Place,” we’re actually using a “30-Degree Wheel,” where we’re plotting all twelve Signs on top of each other. That allows us to see All of the Major Angles at a Glance, though it doesn’t Distinguish which Angles are which. This might seem radical to someone new to astrology, but it’s really no different than converting Miles to Kilometers, or Centigrade to Fahrenheit, just a Transformation between units of Measurement that have different Discriminatory Skills.

The April Full Moon is also Merged with Chiron (Despair, Miracles, and Poor-Sweethearting) and Arachne (Grandmother Spider Who Weaves the Web of Life) and Pallas (Boundaries). We’ll take this up in the next installment.

Stellia and Enlightenment 2

We were working on the idea that Conjunctions and Stellia (groups of 3 or more planets close together) mean that some of our normal Cultural- and Language-Determined Distinctions (like Boy vs Girl, Blue vs Green, Idiotic vs. Imbecilic) get Merged, so we end up looking at People, Cool Colors, and Dumb instead. Each of these is a tiny Enlightenment. For instance, when we wake up one day and see People instead of Boys vs Girls, it’s Consciousness-Expanding. And we were using the very unusual Total Lunar Eclipse of 27-28 September 2015, which was loaded with Stellia and Conjunctions, as an excellent example. The chart is drawn at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/30/stellia-and-enlightenment-1/.

Just looking at the Eclipse itself, the Moon was in a Stellia of three, and the Sun was in a Stellia of eight, ie, unheard of. So what happens to our perspective when 8 of our normal Distinctions all run together? Well, let’s start with the simpler, the Stellia of 3…

• Eclipsed Moon – Instincts, Illuminated
• Vesta – Unconscious Limitations
• True South Node – Held Emotion

Our Held Emotions form the most Persistent Core of our Karma, as long ago we were highly Motivated to Never Think About Them again. They were too Painful. Often they were also Verboten in the Current Lifetime by our Programmers, cementing their Banishment for us.¹ Bringing them up into Consciousness by accident is almost impossible, because the clues are usually disguised by Addiction, Illness, or Culturally-Approved Victimizations. Dedicated and Persistent PIAVAs are Required.

¹ Forbidding something is probably the best way to assure that it gets constant Attention. Combining Forbidding and Punishing can drive an Energy into the Unconscious and Lock the door behind it, but that only means that we think about it all the time, without actually Recognizing it.

Our Unconscious Limitations are already the same thing as Held Emotions, but seen from a different Perspective. We just “don’t go there,” and our Behavior is so well-Justified that there’s no reason we’d ever want to. I’d Do Anything for Love, but I Won’t Do That! They’re Walled Off very Effectively by Judgments – in fact our Pet Peeves are often the best Clue to our Unconscious Limitations, but our Pet Peeves are Pictures of Our Identity – of Our Ego itself! The Ego has already made it Clear to anyone who will Listen that they’re Off-Limits. So this is an Effortless Merger!

But our Instincts! Only Carl Jung defined our Karma as a Persistent and Dedicated Effort by the Unconscious to get us to Open to and Accept our Held Emotions. So this sort of Merger is a Given to Jungians and followers of his followers. In Normal Circumstances for most people, this triple Merger would Precipitate a Major Crisis, as we would be forced to Admit or Reveal our Most Shameful Secrets. At the very least we’d be Hiding in a Cave somewhere, so no one would be allowed to Witness our Shame.

But these weren’t Normal Circumstances! Look at the Other Side of this Eclipse – a Stellium of eight planets – I don’t recall ever seeing that before!

• Sun – Essence
• True North Node – Life Mission
• Juno – Growth in Consciousness
• Black Moon Lilith – Self-Sovereignty
• Makemake Out of Bounds – Enhanced Manifestation
• Sisyphus Out of Bounds – Enjoying the Journey Rather than Anticipating the Destination, Exaggerated
• Tantalus Out of Bounds – Valuing Desire as the Essence of Living, More Highly than Satisfaction, Amplified
• Panacea – Healing

While our Ego is Lost in Shame, our Essence is Bathing in the Bright Light of Our Lifetime Mission. Our Mission is so multidimensional that our Ego and 2D Mind seldom actually Witness more than a Whiff of it. But here we’re Immersed in the Urge to Grow in Consciousness, and Intuitively we know that the most Powerful way to do that is to Open to a Held Emotion. With Emphasis on Self-Sovereignty, we’re less concerned than usual about What Everyone Else Will Think of us, which has potential to Neutralize our Shame.

Sisyphus and Tantalus are cousins in the Psyche, both dealing as they do with Forever – Sisyphus Condemns us to Repeat a Task Forever, and Tantalus leaves us Forever Frustrated because the Objects of our Desire Dissolve just as we are about, at long last, to Enjoy Them. Indeed, few things are more Tantalizing than the Desire to Complete our Sisyphean Tasks. Both make excellent adjectives for describing Karma.

Sisyphus and Tantalus are named like “Centaurs,” which are comet-like dwarf planets with elongated 50-100+ year orbits between Jupiter and Pluto, of which Chiron is the most well known. But they aren’t Centaurs at all, they’re “Apollos” – Near-Earth Asteroids that orbit between Venus and Mars. Tantalus is considered a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid, as it’s 4km/2½mi wide and comes within 16 LD (Moon-to-Earth Distances) of Earth, orbiting every 18 months between 0.9 and 1.7 AU (Distance from the Sun, where Sun-to-Earth is 1.0). Sisyphus is a little less dangerous, approaching within “only” 40 LD from Earth though at 9km/5½mi wide it’s bigger than Tantalus. It orbits every 30 months, between 0.9 and 2.9 AU. For comparison, Mars orbits at 1.4-1.7 AU, Venus at 0.7 AU.

Their presence in the 8-fold Merger tempts us to Imagine what Life will be like for us when our Karma is no longer Interminable, nor Fruitless. Panacea tells us that this Merger is a Healing! So it was entirely possible for a Witness to the 27-28 September 2015 Blood Moon to Experience a Significant Burst of Enlightenment. And whether we Witnessed it visually or not, we couldn’t Hide from the Energy of a Blood Moon like this one.

But what about the Kassandra T-Square, the thick red triangle that Challenges the Full Moon? The Full Moon is already a Debate, like any Opposition a Tension between the two sides of a Tug-of-War. But here the two sides are in total agreement – we need to Embrace our Held Emotions to Move into Enlightenment and 5D. So where’s the Tension? Kassandra means Disbelief. Who are we to Claim to be Enlightened? Everyone we know who does that is either a Guru or an Obvious Egotist, sometimes Both.

The green wedge pointing at Kassandra says that the T-Square is Self-Resolving. There’s nothing we need to do except somehow refrain from Interfering in the process as it Unfolds, since it may not Unfold all at once. It can actually help to be Unaware of the astrology at this point, because our lack of Awareness might help prevent our Interference. How does the Self-Resolution Unfold?

The two long green lines are “Quincunxes” – an “Unx” is one twelfth, here 1/12th of the Zodiac or one Sign, and “Quin” is of course 5 – the green lines are 5 Signs long. A Quincunx means Curiosity. Not Curiosity in the sense I gotta figure this out! but Curiosity in the sense of Awe. So our most appropriate Response to the Eclipse would be to Watch or Experience it Slack-Jawed, in Awe. A Quincunx is a Mystery School, where we need to put our 2D tools (Mind) back in the toolchest, Ask to be Informed, and Wait for nD tools to reveal themselves.

There’s a Mysterious Relationship here between Pan, the Primary God of Nature, and Disbelief, that’s somehow involved with the Manifestation of our Enlightenment. And another Mysterious Relationship between Disbelief and The Birth (Klotho) of a New Field (Arachne). Arachne is Grandmother Spider, Who Weaves the Web of Life. So there are things that are Unfolding which are beyond what we can Understand Intellectually.

The Shift Network is sponsoring a course on Communicating Soul to Soul with the Spirit World, presented by “Mystic, Medium, and Author” Suzanne Giesemann. I’d never heard of her, but I Learned enough listening to her hour-long Preview last night, to Connect with many passed Relatives, and a few of my former Teachers. First time I’ve ever had two-way conversations with Disincarnate Spirits. She’s offering a free recording of this Preview for at least three more days (till 5 April 2023), at https://theshiftnetwork.com/Engage-in-Soul-to-Soul-Communication.

What sort of nD Relationships with Disbelief are we talking about here? The 2D Mind will only have enough bandwidth to find Metaphors, but we might be able to get more Intuitive Perspective by Asking for a download from our Teachers and Ancestors on the Other Side of the Veil. Just because someone’s on the Other Side, that doesn’t mean they Know more than you do already, but Suzanne introduces simple ways to Validate what you’re Picking Up. If you aren’t in steady Contact with the Other Side of the Veil already, there’s at least a Talking Mirror here. Validation is important, as our Comprehension of this New Field (Klotho-Arachne) is Explicitly Challenged by Untruthes (Square to asteroid Pinocchio).

There’s one more Stellium and one more Conjunction in this Blood Moon chart, so we haven’t Exhausted the Opportunities for mini-Enlightenments yet. They’re Linked to Pan through a Grand Cross (four planets more or less equally spaced around the Zodiac) which introduces a Series of Small Challenges that Complement one another. A Grand Cross is Self-Resolving, though there may be some Temporary Discomfort if the segments of the Resolution are separated in Time.

The Stellium involves Intrusive Memories (Gonggong), Truth of the Mind (Veritas), and Confusion (Neptune). The Intrusive Memories are highly likely to be Clues about our Held Emotions, if we Pursue them as Teachings, and sidestep the Temptation to Relive them as Coulda Woulda Shouldas. The Intrusive Memories Intruded in 2015, but remember that Everything that Ever Happened in a Place Is Still Going On, and we have the advantage that by reviewing the astrology we’re Indirectly Triggering our Experience of the 2015 Eclipse, even if we don’t Remember Experiencing its Energy.

The Truth of the Mind tells us to Compare Everything we Learn here to What We Already Know, but not to Reject Anything that doesn’t Agree, but to Practice our Skill with “Cognitive Dissonance,” the Practice of Holding Contradictory Propositions in Mind at the Same Time without Argument between them, which is Essential Practice for using our Mentality in Dimensions higher than 2.

Neptune, Material Confusion and Spiritual Clarity, here completes the Suite by Reminding us that Confusion is the First Stage of Growth in Consciousness. Without Being Comfortable with Confusion and Standing Still for It, we’ll never get to Allowing Cognitive Dissonance to Enliven Paradox. One trick to make it easier to Live with Neptune, is to shift our Vision from the Mind to the Heart, as the Heart Perceives Spirit and its Clarity. If we Channel the 2015 Blood Moon fully here, we won’t be able to Discern the Difference between Intellectual Truth, Confusion, and Ancient Memory, and that’s Important to Grokking the Enlightenment.

Besides Pan and the Gonggong Triad, the third member of the Grand Cross is the Merger between Mars and Orcus – only two Concepts to Merge – how Easy by now, right? Mars is about Action, and Orcus is about Pattern-Making and Pattern-Breaking, namely, Creating and Letting Go of Karma. So we’re Expected to Actively Let Go of any Attachment we have to Self-Sabotaging Habits. The subscript is that Anger may be involved in our Held Emotions, and that there may be Resistance to Letting Go of our Anger, especially if we’ve heavily Invested our Ego into being Victims of our Pet Peeves.

Mars was the God of War, and there’s nothing he Enjoys more. Orcus was the Enforcer of Oaths in pre-Roman days in what is now Italy, and his methods were gruesome, as most of the Oaths he Enforced were involved Commitment to Armies. Commitment to things like Fidelity were not even considered in those days. We were Free then to Abuse anyone or anything of lower status than ours. Financial Commitments were probably more one-way Commitments than two-way “Bargains” as Civilized Law expects. There’s probably no more Important Held Emotion to Embrace, than Anger, as we Experience Anger in the Unconscious as Anger Directed Toward us. Another Clue.

Finally, the fourth corner of the Grand Cross contained The Fall of Overtechnologized Civilization (asteroid Atlantis). If any of your Strategies involve Increasing Complexity, turn around and Walk toward Simplicity instead. Universal Equality and Respect for All Things is probably as Simple as we can get.

4D Stellia (1-20 April 2023)

The Moon is now In Bounds (Panic less likely), since PDT 6:41 am 31 March 2023 (BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm IST, AEST 11:41 pm, in 8 Leo). It will move Out of Bounds over the Southern Hemisphere PDT 12:23 pm 9 April (BST 8:23 pm 9th, IST 12:53 am 10th, AEST 5:23 am 10th, in 4 Sagittarius).

The next scheduled Major Threat to our Survival (aka US Federal Reserve announcement of interest rate changes) doesn’t occur till the first few days of May. Which is not to say that unscheduled Major Threats to our Survival couldn’t happen any day now, as the Patriarchy Collapses. For instance, here in Amerika, where 106% of our neighbors are armed, many with automatic weapons, Civil War could begin any day, as a prominent former elected official with a fairly rabid following is being charged with a crime. And of course, in Europe, another “elected” official, already indicted as a War Criminal, has been threatening a Nucular Holocaust for much of a year already. An Aspirant in Asia isn’t far behind. We’ll try to imagine the odds of such “Black Swan” events as we review the astroevents.

🦖

Many folks I read refer to 4D as Dreams. Indigenous Australians, along with a few branches of Western Psychology, regard Dreams as Real, and our Waking Life as a version of Reality warped by Karma. Others, using a narrower and Linear Cartesian Perspective, refer to Time as the fourth dimension – Length, Width, Depth, and Duration. Astrology bases most of it’s interpretations on Longitude – Signs and Degrees – and Time as well – Natal, Transits, Progressions. Astrology does also consider Latitude – as transformed to Declination – but much less prominently.¹ “Out of Bounds” is a measure of relatively extreme Declension that we pay quite a bit of Attention to, in a very general way.

¹ Natal is a snapshot of planetary Longitudes and their Interactions (Angles) at your Birth; Transits identify the Interactions between Natal planetary Longitudes and present-moment planetary Longitudes; Progressions use the Relationships between Natal planetary Longitudes and the planetary Longitudes a certain number of Days after your Birth, where that “certain number” is the number of Years of your Life on the Planet. Latitude measures distance from the Equator, while Declension measures the Angular deviation from the Plane of the Ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth’s Orbit around the Sun. I don’t pretend to be fully educated about the difference between Latitude and Declension, but I do know that in at least some circumstances, the Declension of a planet tells us our Earthly Latitude when we’re on the Longitude corresponding to the planet’s Sign and Degree, and the planet is directly overhead.

In other words, in Cartesian terms, most of astrology is pretty one-dimensional, except that since it’s almost always embedded in time, it becomes two-dimensional. Adding Out of Bounds gives us insight into a third Dimension, so we cover the equivalents of Length, Width, and Time. We add Depth when we talk about Cycles, because Cycles are determined by the Distance of the planets from the Sun, which is highly correlated with their apparent Speed of travel across the Sky when seen from the back yard, or from wherever there’s less ambient light.

I mention all this background because we’re entering a month full of Stellia in Time. I don’t know if other astrologers would consider that appropriate use of astrological terms, but I do. An excellent example is the Stellia in Time that we’re in now, where three planets all Stand Still within 24 hours…

• Sappho (Self-Love Issues) Stationary till 4 April PDT 1:46 am (BST 9:46 am, IST 2:16 pm, AEST 6:46 pm), in 17 Leo (Irrepresible Emergence of the Underworld).
• Ixion (Issues of Social Convention) Stationary till 4 April PDT 5:50 am (BST 1:50 pm, IST 6:20 pm, AEST 10:50 pm), in 5 Capricorn (Full Consciousness of Past Deaths, Potentially Bridging Worlds).
• Eurydike (Trust Issues) Stationary till 5 April PDT 2:01 am (BST 10:01 am, IST 2:01 pm, AEST 7:01 pm), in 7 Sagittarius (Staying on Your Edge).

Before we proceed with our consideration of Stellia in Time, we should note that this Swan seems to have great potential to be born with Black feathers.

The most salient part of any Stellium is that We Can’t Separate It’s Components. Because we’re working with the Unconscious where Negation doesn’t exist, we’ve interpreted the three planets as “Issues of” rather than either Side of the Issue identified. So any astrological interpretation must always be matched with its opposite. That is, the Distinctions and Boundaries between Self-Regard, Disregard for Social Convention, and DisTrust will be Blurry at best, if not completely Absent.

So let’s tentatively mark the Extremes, and possible Midpoints or Overviews, of the three Concepts…

• Sappho – Self-Love ∈ Self-Regard ∋ Self-Hate
• Ixion – Disregard for Rules ∈ Obedience ∋ Rigid Adherence to Rules
• Eurydike – Faith ∈ Trust ∋ Paranoia

So we have three Dimensions, and marked three Positions on each. Merging the three, we could Be Faithful to Self-Love Regardless of Our Degree of Obedience. We could Be Trusted to Hate Scoff-Laws. We could Be Paranoid that Too Much Self-Regard Would Lead to Criminal Behavior. Or any of the six other permutations. We could consider the original Mythologies to define a default Position on each Dimension, which would be Self-Love, Disregard for Rules, and Wanting Verification and Consequent Failure.

Or choose any additional points along each Dimension to Combine, such as Self-Doubt about Our Ability to Know How to Act in a Foreign Country. Did you know for instance that it’s an insult to an Arab if you Show them the soles of your feet, by for instance crossing your legs while sitting? In an Eye-for-an-Eye Culture that could be dangerous. Interesting that, “coincidentally,” one immediate Major Threat to our Security, because of our Worship of Wealth, comes from Lack of Trust that our Institutions have the Fortitude to make Narcissistic Sociopaths Follow the Law.

These three Stations are so close in Time that we really can’t consider them Separately, but we also need to Notice that, “coincidentally,” they’re closely followed by…

• Pholus (Ability to Respond Fully) Stationary till 6 April PDT 8:10 am (BST 3:10 pm 6th, IST 8:40 pm 6th, AEST 1:10 am 7th);
• Quaoar (Our Survival Instincts) Stationary til 8 April PDT 5:28 pm (BST 12:28 am 9th, IST 5:58 am 9th, AEST 10:28 am 9th);
• both in 9 Capricorn (Fire and Earth Energies United and Exposed), home of the Fixed Star Facies (Combative Relationships).

Since this Conjunction symbolizes our Climate Change Conundrum, it’s easy to combine into a Merged Dimension…

• Pholus-Quaoar – Full Response to Our Survival Instincts ∈ Survival ∋ Failing to Consider Important Vulnerabilities to our Survival.

The original-Mythology Default is mixed – the Pholus Story leading to Significant and Fatal Failure to Consider… and the Quaoar Story leading to Survival through Managing the Landscape Collaboratively and Responsibly. If we Merge this with the Default Mythologies of the other three planets, we’d have something like Feeling Overoptimistic and Waiting too Long to Trust Our Fear that Valuing Individual Wealth More than Environmental Sustainability would Result in the Downfall of the Western Worldview. After the Downfall those who remain are Shepherded into 5D by Survivors of Indigenous 5D Cultures.

Another Morganite Crystal, this one a Frozen Chrysalis of an Ancient Alien. “Morganite brings light to the seat of the self [the Heart] … [ and is] the home of the Gods on earth… [It] literally connects to Heaven… where the [huper] soul may rest when it comes to perfection. Achieving this involves being split and opened by spirit in a lightning burst of revelation and enlightenment. Morganite infuses the subtle and physical bodies with unconditional love, because it is the cracked halves of the primordial egg of Heaven and Earth split open to reveal Love within (Marquist & Frasl, p.101).

Morganite is a Beryl – Beryllium Aluminum Cyclosilicate, tinted pink by Manganese. In a Cyclosilicate, the Silicate units are organized in Rings, connected on their sides. In a Beryl, Beryllium atoms tie the Rings together in towers. Beryls symbolize Serpent Energy and Kundalini. Like Karma, toxic Serpent Energy is a Profound Riddle to be Solved through Living it, a Core course in the Curriculum of the Mystery School that our Soul enrolled us in.

🦖

I’m sure you’ve noticed that how the terms are Merged is entirely Political, as is true of any Either/Or proposition. Truth Is, Nature and Reality are always Both/And. So yes, as Bruce Lipton maintains, the Fall of Western Civilization, and of the Patriarchy, are Necessary Conditions for the Survival of Huperity, because the Worldview of Western Civilization is simply not Sustainable. But that will probably be one of many Outcomes, along with 5D Indigenous Cultures and their Wisdom Helping Others Survive. Michael Roads maps this Future in his fabulously comprehensive Guidebook to 5D, his Eyes of Love trilogy.

The 24-hour Minia that conveniently downplays the Where, and often the When, in most Traumatic News Stories, makes us Forget how Local our Lives actually are. There is room for millions and millions of different Microcultures on Planet Earth to Adapt and Survive, once the Popularity of Global Exploitation becomes less pervasive, for instance through Economic and Technological Failures. In the “Middle Ages” in Europe it was difficult enough to carry food over the Ridge, that it was fairly common for local crop failures to doom one Valley’s population while nearby groups thrived.

We could easily return to that, especially as Greenland melts and the resulting lens of floating Fresh Water stops the warm Caribbean currents from keeping northern Europe warmer than its Latitude. It was the Dutch that helped Medieval Europe develop the Transportation for sharing Food between Valleys, and in the next chapter they may not have enough thumbs to keep themselves above Sea Level, as the Oceans continues to Expand.

So I Believe the Odds of our Way of Life Collapsing Utterly in the next fortnight to be fairly Low, while the Odds of Significant Steps toward that Future occurring to be well above 50%. However, let’s look quickly at the following fortnight…

• 11 April, Samadhi (Enlightenment) Stationary in 24 Leo (Channeling the Living Cosmic Spirit, Resisting the Temptations of its Distractions, and Bringing the Result Out into the World).
• 13 April, Cyllarus Out of Bounds (Amplified Ego Death) Stationary in 2 Leo (BOTH Fully Involved AND Fully Detached).
• 16 April, Sisyphus Out of Bounds (Learning to Enjoy the Journey, Amplified) Stationary in 21 Leo (Slavishly Devoted to Acknowledging the Light in Everything).
• 17 April, Venus Out of Bounds (Our Values, Amplified) in 7 Gemini (Untameably Innovative, for better or worse).
• 18 April, Varuna Out of Bounds (The Life Force, Amplified) Stationary in 6 Leo (Torn between Experiencing and Observing and Forced to Learn to Do Both Fully Simultaneously).
• 19 April, Requiem Out of Bounds (Amplified Ego Death) Stationary in 22 Sagittarius (Thrown Facefirst into the Shadow, Requiring that We Endure the Drama and Stop Identifying with Our Karma).

Check to see where Salacia (Commitment to Enlightenment) sits in your Birth chart. If you don’t know, you can look it up by entering your Birth date on this webpage. Note whether it’s Amplified (Out of Bounds, that is, Declination greater than 23°26’11 when you ignore the “-” or missing “+”. How does it sit in your natal chart? If it has any importance at all in your natal chart, take a short break, then reread the table above, Focusing on each line this time rather than skimming through it or ignoring it. Imagine the planet keyword (such as Enlightenment) Interacting with the Degree Reading (eg Channeling the Living Spirit…) for each line.

If your Salacia is Emphasized, or you have other Ambitions for 5D, April is a Mystery School for you, and you want to treat it as such. Let yourself be Torn between Experiencing and Observing and Practice Doing Both Fully Simultaneously as much as you’re Able. It’s Hard, so be very Kind and Forgiving with yourself. You may get the hang of it quickly, or it may take you many more Lifetimes of Practice to become Adept. It doesn’t matter which – Time is an Illusion on this level of Existence.

That’s the Great thing about Karma. Like passing the Bar, No Matter What, we Always get a Do-Over. Even after we Let Go of All Attachment to our Karma, we keep the Patterns. Karma is just Habits we use Unconsciously, whether they’re appropriate to the Occasion or not. When we Drop the Karmic element, we Keep the Habits, because they’re SuperPowers when used in the Appropriate Circumstances. That’s why we Practice them interminably, and just when we think we’ve got it licked, we get to Practice them in whole new Arenas. Enjoying the Journey is Key.

Practice makes Perfect as they say, and we as a Soul would never have Signed Up to become Adept with these SuperPowers, if it wasn’t Critically Important to the Mission our Soul has Chosen.

A Gift from the Heavens

Our ever-watchful Chief Asteroid Officer has noticed that 45 minutes before the 22-23 January 2023 Station (Prominence) of Uranus (Our Soul), Venus (Our Values) and Saturn (The Most Important Thing) Convene and Initiate a New Cycle. The Venus-Saturn Cycle should Obviously be ranked among our Most Critical Cycles. At the times when our Values are NOT The Most Important Thing to Us, we Betray Ourself. While such Self-Sabotage is a result of our Programming, our Programming is a Mirror for our Karma, since Programming is how much of our Karma was installed into the Current Lifetime.

If you’re reading this, one of your Most Important Values is Enlightenment, aka Ascension or 5D. A primary prerequisite for Enlightenment is to Clear our Karma. That’s more Difficult while our Karma remains Unconscious, so Noticing our Karmic Patterns becomes Bottom Line. We get this Opportunity every time our Karma is Triggered, which includes every time we React from our Programming rather than Responding from our Values. Enlightenment means that our Ego and our Soul are Merging, and that can’t happen as long as Karma has a Leghold Trap on our Ego, which is exactly what Karma does for a Living.

This is a particularly Important Window for those of us who were Programmed to favor Thinking over Feeling, because as Jung said, People who Prioritize Thinking are Irrational, because they’re not in Touch with their own Emotions and therefore not in Touch with their own Values, since Values arise from the Heart, not the Mind. Many of us are much more Aware of Our Thoughts About Our Feelings than we are of Our Feelings themselves. Too many of us haven’t yet Learned to tell the difference.

Many of us first need to Learn to Find our Emotions, buried under the Thoughtstorm that they evoke. It can help to Focus on the Sensations that arise with Emotion. When we’re trying to Think Through a particularly difficult Conundrum, we can Ask ourself, What Is my Body Telling me through its Sensations? rather than What is my Mind Telling me through its Thoughts? Emotions (Water) and Sensations (Earth) share the same Style (Magnetic), as we explained in the previous post, so they tend to Collaborate.

Emotions and Thoughts (Air) have Opposite Styles, so they tend to Conflict. So Emotions and Thoughts are in Competition with one another before we even Feel or Think. And thanks to Western Medicine, with its ban on Intuition and its Intense Advertising Campaigns, we also have to Struggle with and get beyond our Thoughts about our Sensations (“O My Goddess, is that Cancer?”). We have to Focus on Where our Sensation Resides in the Body and What It Feels Like there, while Rejecting Thoughts the same way we do when they Intrude on our Meditations – “Oh, there’s Thinking Again. Thanks for Contributing, but we’re Doing Something Else now. Where was I?“

Venus-Saturn Value-Priority Cycles last about a year. The Cycle that’s Ending spanned 10 months, but the New Cycle will last 14 months, till the Aries Equinox of 2024, because Venus slows down and turns Retrograde in the Northern Summer and Southern Winter. Angles between Retrograde planets are called Expositions because they Expose the internal workings of a planetary Relationship. Consequently, they’re more educational. In this Retrograde part of the Cycle¹ we may be more Alone than we usually prefer, because we’ll be Learning to Appreciate our own Unique Strengths, some of which we’ve theretofore never Appreciated or even Noticed.² Knowing Ourself – our Natural Strengths and the situations where we’re better off Delegating to Others or to Spirit – is an Essential Foundation for Enlightenment.

The New Cycle Begins in 25 Aquarius (Honing the Inner Witness in order to Rebirth Intelligence). Without Realizing the Connection to Lonsdale’s interpretation for the Degree, in note ¹ below we’ve already written a lot about the Inner Witness! An Initiation is the Birth or a New Cycle, so it’s chart is a Birth Chart. So we shouldn’t be surprised when a Retrograde Period in the Cycle reiterates the Birth Reading for the Cycle. But the Cycle and the Degree are Independent of one another, so the “Coincidence” is still Remarkable.

We’ll look at the chart tomorrow. “Chrysanthemum Stone” is a good Rock to Contemplate for bringing forth the Inner Witness. The mineral composition can vary quite a bit. The Stone is so unusual that it’s known more by its Morphology and Mythology (of Immortal Love between Stones and Flowers) than for its chemistry. The fact that it appears in only a few places in the World, and appears with a mix of Chemistries when it does, speaks loudly that it’s Meaning lies in its Mythology. It’s also a Metaphor for the Bright and Focused Soul breaking through the Dark and Amorphous Matrix of the Ego and Karma.

¹ Venus is actually Retrograde from 24 July to 4 September 2023 and 29 to 13 Leo, but the Shadow Period spans 19 June through 7 October. A Retrogradation is like a Remedial Course – we have to take it three times to pass, and sometimes we don’t. That’s the case when we don’t Learn from an astroevent. When we do Learn, it’s not Remedial at all. A Retrograde Shadow Period has three stages. The Retrograde period, here 24/7-4/9 and 29-13 Leo, is stage 2. Stage 1 is when the planet crosses this Degree Zone the first time, while Direct. That will be 19 June to 23 July and 13 to 29 Leo. Stage 1, called the Can-Opener, is when we get Blindsided by the Lesson Plan, often quite Stressfully. So we may hit Loneliness and Self-Doubt during the Can-Opener.

Stage 2 is the Exposition, where since the planet is Retrograde, the Curriculum is Repeated, more Slowly this time, Step by Step, allowing us to Learn the Lesson. If we’re Paying Attention. If we aren’t Paying Attention, we’ll Re-Experience the Stress of the Can-Opener, and remain its Victim. Stage 3 is the Confidence-Builder, where the Curriculum is Repeated Again, and this time we Sail Right Through it, because we’ve Learned How! If we noticed the Correlation between the Can-Opener and the Exposition. It not, we could have a third Stressful Victim Episode.

Karma and Unconscious Limitations are Created when we Remain in Blame, making our Stress Someone or Something Else’s Fault rather than our own Curriculum, and make a Decision or Vow or Oath or Promise that we’ll Never Put Ourself in that Position again. Of course, it’s unlikely we’ll have a strong Negative Reaction unless it’s already Karmic for us. So we don’t Create New Karma nearly as often as we “just” add Fresh Cement to our Old Karma. If we are Accountable for our Reaction to the original Stressful event rather than Blaming or Projecting it onto Something Else, or if we Notice the Repetition and Become Accountable, we can Learn and Practice Changing our Original Reaction to a Different Response. Then we really do Gain Confidence in the third Stage. Our Skills don’t mean much without our Confidence in them!

Many people misunderstand this Process as Blaming the Victim, which it’s not. We’re Expecting the Victim to take Ownership of their own Reactions to Repeating Stimuli. We can all be Blindsided by New Can-Openers, and since our Karma is many-dimensional, we often have to Re-Experience it in many different Arenas before we Let It Go Completely. We may React with Blame to a Relationship Hassle once, and then React with Blame to a Job Hassle another time, without Realizing that our Reactions are Repeating. That happens to all of us all the time, as we have many Karmic Patterns happening in many different Arenas. But if we’re Alert to Noticing the Similarities between two Reactions, we can Become Conscious that it’s Karma and Choose to Change it.

² The Angles made between Venus and Saturn while they’re Retrograde are closest to four ninths and five elevenths of the Zodiac (the Quadrinovile and Quinelvile, 160 and 164 Degrees), which are about Mastering (4) Contemplation and Introspection (9) and Learning (5) to Appreciate our own Gifts and Talents (11). We derive the meaning of odd (indeed, all ) astrological Angles through the Correlation between the Tarot Major Arcana (Angeles Arrien, The Tarot Handbook) to the Harmonics of the Angles. For instance, the Quadrinovile is four ninths, or a combination of the 4th and 9th Harmonics (360/4=90° and 360/9=40°), equated to the 4th and 9th members of the Major Arcana (Emperor = Dominion and Hermit = Meditation). So the Quadrinovile implies Healthy Control over Meditation).

Denying Nature, Transmuting Abuse

.

Pan, Nature’s Head Dude, represented by the asteroid that bears His name, is Lit Up Bigtime today,¹ and has been for several days. It’ll also hang around for a week or so, but the Peak of the Energy was today. Unless we made an important Self-Protecting Decision, in which case it can become Karma and Hang Around till we Let It Go.²

The most important thing to know about this, is that Pan is Merged with both Our Soul and Our Mission.³ That’s a Powerful combination. The second-most important thing to know is that Pan and Our Soul and Our Mission have been ganging up on our Held Emotions, trying to talk them into Emerging from Hiding and Liberating us into Enlightenment.⁴ Held Emotions are the ones that we’d Rather Die Than Feel, and they’re usually Unconscious. Held Emotions are always Karmic, and Karma is never Present Moment until we make it so through Belief, so it’s not Physical Death that we Unconsciously Fear, it’s Ego Death.

And Rightly So, because the Ego is the part of our Psyche that’s in charge of Keeping us Alive! Crabs wear their Skeleton on the Outside, so they have to Molt in order to Grow, and once they Molt it takes them a week or so to harden their new larger Shell, during which time they’re extremely vulnerable to being eaten, nutcracker not required. While we probably aren’t direct descendants of Crabs, we may still have that Genetic Memory in our Karma, and for sure, when we Molt our Egos – Shell is actually a good synonym for Ego – we’re quite Defenseless until we Learn to Explain and Justify our new Ego, so there’s more than one parallel between us and Crabs.

We have to Accept Ego Death if we’re Committed to Ascension, and once we do we realize how many Ego Deaths we’ve already Lived Through Successfully – the Proof is in the Pudding. We Learn to Recognize the signs and Embrace the Fear that arises, and Learn to sail through them with Ease. The Held Emotions are always harder to Embrace, because they’re often Karma cemented by Vows we made to ourself while we were Physically Dying in another Lifetime – “I’ll Never do that again!” Those stick like Glue #10.

The third-most important thing abut Pan’s visit, is that we’re being Asked to Let Go of our Patterns around Abuse and Privilege.⁵ While we’ve had a lot of Practice over the last few years, especially when Abuse and Privilege was traveling hand in hand with Intrusive Memories (dwarf planet Gonggong) during 2015 and 2016. Revisiting Childhood Abuse is never Fun, and Dealing with Ancestral Abuse is always Tortuous and Confusing. And while Privilege seems like it should be a Privilege, it has its own Karma.

I’m always reminded of Stephen Levine’s story about a Meditation Retreat where in one session he was Reliving an Auschwitz Experience and Feeling Relieved that his Sense of Victimization was Justified. Then when he went back into Meditation after a Break, he was the one wearing the Jackboots. Wise men have said it before, but Doing Unto Creates the same Karma as Being Done Unto. That’s why Karma, which is the Inertia of Habit, is easily Confused with Retribution. When you Accept the Traditional Wisdom that We Are All One, that becomes Obvious.

Today in Florida and Texas they’re only Burning Books and The Mouse, and in Florida and Georgia and Colorado they’re trying to Burn Down Democracy, so the Oligarchy can Take All. They aren’t Burning and Drowning Witches again yet. Everyone’s Cutting Down and Burning Down the Sacred Groves again, as if they ever stopped. And some Races are undergoing Genocide as we speak. Abuse and Privilege stretches far beyond the Sexual.

The fourth-most important thing about Pan’s Illuminations, is that we’re also being Invited to Revisit and Let Go Of our Karma around the times when our Cultures Expanded so far Beyond our Values, or Beyond Values that would have Permitted our Survival, that our Civilization Collapsed.⁶

¹ Asteroid Pan Stationary 10 January 2023 (PST 4:20 am, GMT 12:20 pm 10th, IST 5:40 pm 10th, AEDT Qld 10:20 pm) in 13 Taurus, “What we carry around with us is whatever we can believe in and partake in with fantasy, speculation, wonderings, and with every tool of our soul. Whichever world we dream up we can enter, ensoul, and become entirely absorbed in. It is up to us whether it is life-giving or sterile, theoretical or practical, isolating or connecting us with something vast, more universal, more archetypal.” —Ellias Lonsdale, 360 Degrees of Your Soul Destiny, p.77.

² Life-or-Death Decisions often become Karma because we either already Believe, or have to Make ourself Believe, that our Choice was the only way out. Once we convince ourself of that, it becomes an Unconscious Limitation that’s an integral part of our Worldview as if it was a “law of Physics” (which are actually Cultural Karmic Limitations). Worse, it could have been a distant ancestor that made such a Decision (like avoiding Pork in the Middle East in the Olde Days), and the Limitation was passed down to us through Programming. Since we have no way of remembering the origin of such Karma, and since we’re Ridiculed or Shamed for Ignoring it, Letting Go of that sort of Karma has its own Difficulties. We have to lean on our natal Ixion (Psychopathic Ignorer of Traditions) to Transcend it.

³ Conjunct Uranus and North Node.

⁴ Pan-Uranus-North Node Opposite Ka’epaoka’awela (Transmutation), South Node (Held Emotions), and Zhulong (Enlightenment).

⁵ Naked (by its lonesome, without Squares) Opposition between Nessus (Abuse and Privilege) in Pisces (Emotional Baggage) and Orcus (Pattern-Breaking) in Virgo (Ego Death).

⁶ The Pan-Uranus-North Node (Soul-Mission-Nature) Opposition to Ka’epaoka’awela-South Node-Zhulong (Transmutation-Held Emotions-Enlightenment) is T-Squared by the Merger of Venus (Values), Icarus (Dangerous Ambitions), and Atlantis (Civilization Collapse).

Amethyst, Clear Quartz turned purple by Radiation, is the Classical Aid to Ego Death. Its Crown–Chakra Color reminds us nonverbally that we are Spiritual Beings having a Physical Experience, and that Emotional Drama is part of Physical Experience for Hupers, so it Behooves us to Activate our Observer Self, make some Popcorn, and Enjoy the Movie, rather than Empathizing ourselves into the Drama.

Of course, if we Detach like this before we Explore and Embrace the Experience, we can drive our Resisted Emotions further into the dark corners of the Dungeon, especially when we’re Dealing with Held Emotions. So we don’t want to Skip that Explore-and-Embrace Step. We can Explore Emotion through Sensation, for instance, since Sensation involves less Drama, as long as we Avoid Indulging our Thoughts about our Sensations. If we do, we just withdraw our Attention from the Thoughts and Re-Invest It into the Body. To Embrace, we only need to remember that Love is Soft and Warm, Fear is Cold and Hard.

When we Ask ourself Where in my Body am I Feeling this? and Focus our Attention Deeply into that Place and Hold it there, persistently Returning our Attention when it Wanders, our Judgment-Free Laser Attention can Heal without time-consuming distractions to Story, which is just Metaphor anyway. When we’re Working with Karma, there’s no one Story, there are probably at least hundreds, so Story really is a Diversion. Story is good for Invoking the Occulted Emotion, but beyond that it can become the Ego’s attempt to Avoid Change by monopolizing the Conversation.

Once the Discomfort or Intensity in our Body Moves, we’re Done, we can Detach, though we may need to Return later for a Booster or several. This all sounds Mechanical and Unfeeling, and Held Emotions often involve Horrific Terrors. They’re best just Touched in the Emotional Realm, then Explored and Embraced in the Sensation Realm. Then when we Return to Touch them again, the Intensity may be Less. If it’s not, Gary Craig, who developed EFT or Tapping, has a series of videos demonstrating the use of EFT on PTSD. PTSD and Karma are not the same thing, but PTSD is probably usually Karmic.

Amethyst from the Thunder Bay area of Lake Superior in North Ontario Canada, is often speckled with dots of Rust or Hematite, Iron Oxide. These are red, the color of the Root Chakra, so they can help us Stay Grounded while we’re Exploring out Beyond our Crown Chakra and Deep Inside our Skin. As Angie Arrien liked to say, it will help us Walk the Spiritual Path with Practical Feet.

One of my first Rock photos. Most of these were taken with a very early digital camera, before they had large “viewfinder” screens. Using that camera was very much point and shoot, as the screen was too small to really see what I was photographing. I used to call it my Magic Camera, as many of its photos were just that. I suppose I could claim some credit via my Intuition or Instincts, as my Intellect was pretty much blinded by the small screen. Sometimes I imagine how it would be to Live like that, watching Crystals spontaneously and Magically sprouting Flames. I expect 5D to be as full of Delightful Surprises. Hopefully some day I’ll Deprogram my “left brain” enough to approach it.

Manifestation Full Moon

Well, we don’t need to write more about the 2 January 2023 Amplification of asteroid Sisyphus, as the asteroid has been renamed Kevin and has crashed into the US House of Non-Representatives. For all his Effort, does Sisyphus ever win at least a consolation prize? No, he’s still Pushing his Rock several Millennia later! Never Forget that Sisyphus Reminds us to Enjoy the Journey – the Destination is Meaningless, it’s the Journey that brings us Wisdom and Enlightenment.

The 6-7 January Out of Bounds Full Moon (PST 3:07 pm 6th, GMT 11:07 pm 6th, IST 4:37 am 7th, AEDT Qld 9:07 am 7th) in 17 Cancer (A Strong Sense of Self Overcoming the Temptation to go against the Self and mimic someone else) has a pretty Clear Message for us though – We can Hope with all our Might that the Exaggerated Karma that’s Staring us in the Face will go away on its own, but there’s no such Luck until we Invest our Passion into Building Strong Protections around the Facts.¹

¹ Out of Bounds means Stronger than Usual. Sun Merged with Mercury, Pandora Out Of Bounds, and Karma OOB, Debating with Moon OOB Merged with Pallas OOB and Veritas – We can Hope with all our Might (Pandora OOB) that the Exaggerated Karma (Karma OOB) that’s Staring us in the Face (Sun-Mercury) will go away on its own, but there’s no such Luck until we Invest our Passion (Moon OOB) into Building Strong Protections (Pallas OOB) around the Facts (Veritas). There are no Squares, as Aries and Libra are Vacant, leaving just the naked Full Moon Opposition.

While our Comfort-Seeking Ego is Horrified at this TraumaDrama, we’re Reminded of Bruce Lipton’s comment that Western Civilization must Collapse if we are ever to have any Hope for Healing Huperity’s Relationship with Nature and the Planet. And the Full Moon is Defending the Facts, without considering that Facts are always dependent on Perspective and always Debatable.

Unfortunately, the Struggle in the House is about people who are Defending not the Truth of their Mind, but the Truth of their Heart, and the Winner-Take-All US political system has no provisions for differences of the Heart. It’s all about the Patriarchy and Rule by Intimidation.

The positions of these people in the House sound so Ridiculous because the Patriarchy has no Legitimate Language for the Heart. So Libertarians aren’t Content to just Do Their Own Thing and let others do the same, they don’t Feel Safe until they’ve torn down the Comfortable Boundaries for everyone else, lest they end up Fried like Sam Bankman-Fraud.

The Full Moon chart also includes two Cycles of Self-Resolving Hassles (Grand Crosses). In the Fixed Signs, our Soul may be Hassled by Entrenched Ego or the Appearance of the End of Healing. The key is Trust, as so many things are Changing and they are Out of Our Hands. We will need to Surrender our Need for Control (Uranus Square Hybris Square Eurydike Square Panacea-Atropos Square Uranus).

In the Mutable Signs, the Field that Makes Life Possible (Altjira OOB) is Hassled by Our Unconscious Shame about our Technologized Abuse of the Planet (Vesta-Phaedra-Nessus-Atlantis), by Our Need to Deny What We Most Desire (Pinocchio-Tantalus), and by the Difficulty of Changing All of Our Karmic Patterns at Once (Theseus-Orcus).

The Full Moon Potentiates the 7-8 January Fully Self-Resolving Makemake Station (PST 3:00 pm 7th, GMT 11:00 pm 7th, IST 4:30 am 8th, AEDT Qld 9:00 am 8th). A Station means that the planet is Standing Still in the Sky, making its Impact on us Strongest. The dwarf planet Makemake, which Lives out beyond Pluto, symbolizes Manifestation. The Full Moon and the Makemake Station are linked by Time.

The Station features two Fully Self-Resolving Major Challenges and one Self-Resolving Cycle of Hassles. When astrological Configurations are Self-Resolving it’s better to leave well enough alone and not try to Influence events or Change their Impact. Our Observer Self would be good at driving here. We’re still partly to mostly in 3D, and our Minds in 2D, while these astroevents occur in 5D or higher, so we won’t Grok most of what’s going down, and our Interventions may be misguided. If we’re Operating from our Intuition or Guidance, we can Go For It.

The Makemake Station itself is Merged with Kassandra, symbolizing Disbelief. We’re used to Believing that if it’s Too Good To Be True, it probably ain’t, but we may find Exceptions to this standard here, and we may find ourselves hitting Upper Limits (see Gay Hendricks, The Big Leap, chapters 1-3; that’s a lot to Ask, but you won’t Regret doing it!). The Full Moon stretches the Impact of a Station over the following several weeks. The next few weeks should be a Powerful time to Challenge your Disbelief about your Power to Manifest What You Want.

A good time to throw a few bucks at the Mega Millions Lottery. Everyone else will be in the same boat around their Disbelief in their “Luck,” but check your natal chart to see what you have going in 10 Libra (Reaching Bottom). Nowhere to go but Up from There, it may be your turn. My 10-Libra natal planet is Ixion – Goddess Knows what will turn up from my Ticket tomorrow! If what you find is Fairy Gold, which disappears when you try to use it, no worries! It’s a feint, but a sign of what’s to follow. Believing is what counts, and we may have to Fake it till we Make it.

Stationary Makemake-Kassandra is Debating with Chiron-Salacia – Despair over the Enlightenment Challenge or Enjoying the Miracle of Enlightenment. At the Risk of Intervening Shallowly, Choose the latter. If you find yourself Stuck in the former, set an alarm for fifteen minutes, and Deeply Explore your Despair. Not your Thoughts about Despair or your Despairing Thoughts, but the Emotion of Despair.

Locate Despair as a Sensation in your Body. Where does it Reside? Belly? Neck? Knee? If it’s in several places, pick one where it’s Strong. What Sensation do you Feel there? Is it Tight? Loose? Painful? Twisted? Orange? Focus All of your Attention on this Place, and Keep it there till the bell rings. If the Sensation in your Body Moves, follow it. No Thought, just Attention. If you can Control your Thoughts long enough to do this, you’re Out of 2D and into Higher Dimensions, so your odds of Collaborating with the Self-Resolution rise.

If your Thoughts win, Persevere. “Oh, there’s Thinking again. Thanks for Contributing, but we’re doing something else right now, K?” just like when you’re Meditating (which is what you’re doing). Even if you can only Hold your Thoughts Off for a few minutes at a time, it’s very valuable Practice and hints at what you can Train yourself to Do. Once you Feel the Sensation in your Body Move, you’ve found pure E-Motion, EnergyinMotion. Follow it for the whole fifteen minutes, just as Practice.

Then Poor-Sweetheart yourself. Say to yourself, “You Poor Sweetheart, you were Feeling Despair, weren’t you.” Notice that your Feelings have Changed. Even if you didn’t Feel Successful at Holding your Attention on your Sensations, if you were Serious with your Poor-Sweetheart, you’ll be Feeling more Compassion for yourself. Now you have to Change the Subject. Put your Mind on something completely different, and fairly absorbing. Watch something intense on TV or the Internet.

If you don’t get your Mind to Change the Subject, your Mind will go right back to Despair. If you can Change the Subject, you will have made a Life-Long Change in yourself. Not that you won’t have to Practice this Skill, but even without more Practice, you’ve Broken the Karmic Pattern. Every time you Practice, more grout falls out of the Pattern. You’ll be Amazed at how quickly you can Shatter the most Persistent Karma this way.

Even if you’re halfway down Karma Road when you Notice that you’re on Autopilot (“Self-Driving Mode” as Tesla so casually and dangerously calls it), once you Notice, you can Abort the Pattern. Karma is like a Hex or Curse someone put on you. It wouldn’t hurt to say out loud, Revert! as you Notice and Change Course. When you say Revert! you may Remember your Lifetimes as a Wizard or Witch, and many other Personal Powers may come flooding back. The sooner you Change Course, the Easier it is to Notice next time, and the Earlier you Notice, the Easier it will be to Change Course.

It may well have been an Earlier Self that put that Hex on you. We’re flirting with Karma every time we make a Decision. Forgive yourself for that. Habits are very useful. If you drive a car, you Remember how you had to Develop those Habits so you didn’t have to Think, Let’s See now, where are those Brakes? when you need them. Habits only get troublesome when they get Stuck, like they do in PTSD. If we’re Programmed to be Codependent as a Child, it’s hard work to Develop Assertiveness as an Adult, and if we were Programmed to be anything as a Child, you can bet it’s Karmic.

Any Karmic Pattern takes Work to Change, but using that Virtuous Spiral of Noticing and Changing Course, and Reverting any Habits of Self-Judgment that arise, it’s Shocking how quickly we can Change. Since we’re Working with the Unconscious. PIAVAing can help. Visualize yourself Behaving the way you’d Rather, such as Being Assertive rather than Submissive, Feeling Abundance rather than Scarcity, Warm rather than Cool. Imagine how that will Feel and Notice how your Posture Changes. Take Notes, so you can Practice using that Posture to Remember how you want to Feel and Be.

You’re now Working Multidimensionally – Notice how that Feels. You’re moving closer to 5D and Beyond.

Datolite is useful for Inviting Creative Cooperation to come forth from the Unconscious. It’s a Calcium Hydroxide Nesoborosilicate. There’s that Boron again, like in Tourmaline, a Powerful Healing Element. Angels can Fly because they Take Themselves Lightly, and Boron is lighter than all but four other elements – Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, then Boron. A few pellets of Boiron homeopathic Borax (Hydrated Sodium Borate) will triple the healing of any wounded Mucus Membrane. Remember Boraxo heavy-duty hand soap in the black-and-white can with the red lid? Haven’t seen that in Forever! Dense and hard, Nesosilicates make good Gems, often without even cutting. Zircon, Topaz, the many Garnets, Nesosilicates often make me Swoon! In the Nesosilicates, the Silicate units are not joined together Chemically, but rather by the mineral’s innate Crystallization Pattern. Whoever said Crystals aren’t Conscious?

Goddess of the Sea

Salacia was evidently well ensconced as Goddess of the Sea before Neptune stalked Her. Her name is derived from Salt, as in Sea, not from Salacity. I guess the latter term derived from the “Saltiness” or preference for obscenities and general social privation of sailors. From its Discovery chart, we interpret dwarf planet Salacia as Commitment to Enlightenment, which is important because the Ego can be so tricky in its Self-Preservation that Enlightenment requires significant Commitment to stay the course.

The Sea, or course, is also a significant Metaphor for the Unconscious, and finding the True Self hidden in the Unconscious is trickier than Poseidon’s Dolphins’ search for Aphrodite. Poseidon and Aphrodite being the Greek precursors to the Neptune and Salacia of the Romans. Leave it to the Romans, the original model for Western Civilization, to de-emphasize the Spiritual and emphasize the Mundane.

The complexities of the 19-20 December 2022 Salacia Out of Bounds Station (PST 8:10 pm 19th, GMT 4:10 am 20th, IST 9:40 am 20th, AEDT Qld 2:10 pm 20th) echo the Commitment-to-Enlightenment theme. The Station occurs in 7 Aries, “A polarity, which can become either tremendously conflictual or, paradoxically, infinitely resolvable in a whole different unity… The only thing needed to enter and become conversant with open-ended mysteries is the slaying of the dual mind – a small thing to ask for such a great reward” (Lonsdale, pp.41-42).

There are two Major Challenges – Potential SuperPowers – in the Salacia Station chart. Neither is Self-Resolving, but both are Enhanced.¹ Salacia OOB Herself is one corner of a Grand Cross, but worth interpreting as a Fully Self-Resolving Challenge.² All three Challenges link to one another in such a way that they all Complement each other, increasing the Self-Resolution.³ Self-Resolution means that, whenever we can Stand It, we will be better off Letting smaller Hassles Be as they are rather than trying to “Fix” them, because they will eventually Self-Resolve, and our “Fix” can disrupt the Self-Resolution and leave us with a 2D fix to an nD issue.

¹ Two T-Squares, neither of which is a Diamond Star (a T-Square and a Finger of the Goddess pointing to the same place, which creates a “bowl of Grace” under the T-Square to make it Self-Resolving), but which are both Enhanced by the Focus of the T-Square also being one corner of a Grand Trine (Dumb-Luck Grace). …… ² A Grand Cross is four planets more or less equally spaced around the Zodiac. That creates four T-Squares or Challenges, however, the four are In Balance by virtue of filling the Zodiac, so they Complement one another. The Salacia T-Square is a Diamond Star and one corner of a Grand Trine. …… ³ The two Grand Trines link all three T-Squares to one another, lending Grace to each.

The first non-Self-Resolving Challenge is about Deception.⁴ The Duality we’re asked to “Resolve in a whole different Unity” is between our Shame and our Enlightenment.⁵ The Enhancement involves Salacia Herself and the Choice between Life and Death, though one can Extend Life by Choosing Ego Death.⁶

⁴ The Focus of the T-Square is asteroid Pinocchio OOB (Exaggerated Prevarication). …… ⁵ The Enlightenment end of the Debate (Opposition) is asteroid Samadhi (Enlightenment ). The Shame end is more complex – the Merger of asteroids Phaedra (Shame), Vesta (Unconscious Limitations), and Atlantis (Collapse of Civilization), and dwarf planet Gonggong (Intrusive Memories). Once one Imagines Merging all those Stories, though, it seems pretty clear – Unconscious Shame Left Over from the Collapse of Atlantis. I mean, really, other than throwing our Sabots into the Fusion Reactor, what could we have done? The technologists were Drunk with Power, there was no way to Communicate with them. Maybe the “whole different Unity” is to pull our Attentions out of the Rhymes of Herstory and Invest them in How We Would Like to Feel From Here On. …… ⁶ The Grand Trine connects Pinocchio with Salacia and Cyllarus-Varuna (Death-the Life Force), both of which are Out of Bounds (Exaggerated ) and Merged (Indistinguishable from one another). If we Realize that the Life Force is Interrupted by Held Emotions, and that Held Emotions are Resolved by Loving them to Death, we can interpret Cyllarus-Varuna as a Life-Saving Healing.

The second non-Self-Resolving Challenge is about the Edge between Narcissism and Unconditional Self-Love.⁷ The Argument that must be Resolved to stay on this Edge is between on the one hand the Choice between Life and Death, and on the other hand the Healing of our Self-Doubt Karma.⁸ The Enhancement lies in the Relationships between the Edge, Shame, and Enlightenment.⁹

⁷ Asteroid Narcissus (Self-Absorption) Merged with minor planet Zhulong (the Chinese Red Dragon of Enlightenment) and dwarf planet Makemake (Manifestation). …… ⁸ Cyllarus OOB-Varuna OOB Opposite Panacea (Healing) Merged with Atropos (Expired Karma) and Chariklo (Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt). …… ⁹ Narcissus-Zholong-Makemake Trine to asteroid Samadhi Trine to Phaedra-Vesta-Atlantis-Gonggong.

The Salacia OOB Diamond Star Resolves a Conflict between our Karma about Global Climate Change and Delegating to Ganesh, the Remover of Obstacles.¹⁰ The Resolution lies in the Collaboration between Unconditional Self-Love and Enlightenment, though we need to take the first step toward Balancing Self-Love and Self-Admiration.¹¹ The Enhancement involves Deception and the Choice between Life and Death.¹² How do Deception and Life-and-Death Collaborate? Perhaps by Selective Denial.

¹⁰ The Opposition is between asteroids Ganesa Out of Bounds (the God Ganesh, Remover of Obstacles, Amplified ) and Karma Out of Bounds Merged with dwarf planets Pholus and Quaoar (our Extreme Karma around Being Fully Responsive to our Survival Instincts). …… ¹¹ The base of the Finger of the Goddess is the Sextile (Grace after we supply Initiatory Energy) between Narcissus Merged with Zhulong and Makemake (Manifesting a Balance between Self-Absorption and Enlightenment ) and asteroid Samadhi (Enlightenment ). …… ¹² The corners of the Grand Trine are Salacia (Commitment to Ascension), Pinocchio OOB (Propaganda), and the Merger of Cyllarus OOB and Varuna OOB (Renewing our Vitality and Healing our Health through Embrace of our Held Emotions).

Is it our Karma to be born just as Global Climate Change is about to decimate our Species, or did we as Souls Sign Up in the Lightworkers Lounge to be part of the Solution? What’s your Most Difficult Karma about, the most difficult Personal Issue you’re still working on after all these years, and the Global Issue that you still Worry most about? Poverty? Grief? Health? Vitality? Hunger? Homelessness? War? Lust? Loneliness? Oppression? Fascism? Pain? Anger? Aggression? Abuse? Privilege? Rape of the Earth? Injustice? Memories that Torture you?

As Lightworkers, we aren’t here to be Victims of those Issues or others. We’re here to Surrender to Victimhood just long enough to have the Real Experience of what they feel like so we can Empathize Authentically. And not to waste a minute more on being their Victim, because there’s more Work to be done Healing them. How? Poor-Sweetheart yourself for being their Victim, then Change the Subject. Then spend all of your “Spare Time” Triggering in yourself the Emotion that you’ll Feel when all of your Misery about that has Dissolved and instead Changed to Excitement about your Adeptitude with the Issue, or the Imagined Adeptitude of others.

Not able to dig up any Feeling of Adeptitude? There is some level of Adeptitude you’ve earned, no matter how small – Focus on Gratitude for that. Focus on Gratitude that in the Present Moment, this Issue doesn’t require 200% of your Attention to Keep yourself Alive. Not able to Escape from your Victimhood for more than a few minutes? Poor-Sweetheart yourself for Being Stuck, and Move On. Not have any Spare Time? What is it that you’re Not Taking Full Ownership of? Are you here as a Lightworker, or did you get Hypnotized by the Ambient DramaTrauma and Forget? Both, of course, Hypnosis is how we Experience what we need to Empath. But you can snap your fingers now and Wake Up.

Emotion is not Either/Or, it’s Multidimensional and Unitary. Hate is not the Opposite of Love. The Opposite of Love is the Absence of Love. You can think of a hundred names for the Opposite of the Thought of Love, but there is No Opposite for Love itself. Emotions are Absolutes. You’re either Feeling them or you Aren’t. Pick the Personal or Global Issue that you still Worry most about. Then find something about that Issue that you can be Loving toward, no matter how Tiny. Nothing Changes Until We Accept It Exactly As It Is. Then PIAVA to Grow your Love toward it Daily. That’s what we came here for. Let’s get to it, K?

Cavansite, the blue Crystal below, symbolizes Gentle but Disciplined Focus and Consistent Attention, especially toward your Highest Frequencies. Good Will and Good Boundaries, Good Relations with our Higher Self, Appreciation of and Comfort with Self. It’s actually a Mica (“Phyllosilicate,” like Pyllo Dough, a Silicate mineral the grows in planes, tightly connected to its horizontal neighbors but more loosely tied to the next plane vertically). It’s composed of Vanadium, Calcium, Water, and the Silicate units.

It grew atop a cluster of Stilbite Crystals, also called Desmine. It conveys “the loving allowance that creates the ability to accept one’s condition and move beyond.” It’s a hydrated Potassium Aluminum tektosilicate (where the silicate units arrange themselves in a 3D network), and a Zeolite, a type of Crystal that contains millions of tiny holes that can vacuum up unwanted physical or biological nano-Entities and store them to be contained or removed. (Marquist and Frasl, pp.38 and 142)

Crystals grow in pockets of hot molten stone within mother rocks. As temperature and possibly pressure decline, the chemical compounds that Crystallize most easily, like the Potassium, Aluminum, Silicate, and Water in the Stilbite, solidify first. For some reason the Cavansite Crystalized on top of the Stilbite. Maybe a suitable temperature-pressure environment for Cavansite occurred later, and/or maybe the pocket was near a fault or crack that later allowed a different substrate of molten stone to enter the pocket, one that contained Calcium and Vanadium. Vanadium is an unusual element in that it can have several different electrical states. Many Vanadium Crystals are dark red to brown; this one is blue because it uses a unique electrical state. The property is used to create batteries that can be charged and discharged at the same time, using different states of the Vanadium. House-size vats of dissolved Vanadium are used at scale by utilities for this purpose.

Not So Phew! 2

This 2:55 pm PDT 8 October Station of Pluto¹ (Exaggerated Compulsions) appears to be worth documenting. Considering the Degree of the Station – 27 Capricorn, the Ability to See through the Veil, which We Can Use to Ascend if We Choose to – the most interesting component of the chart is a triple Merging (Stellium) of the symbols for Karma that’s Expiring, New Patterns that Are Forming, and the Feminine side of the Christ Energy.²

The Feminine side of the Christ Energy is often personified by Mary Magdalene. The other two members of the triple Merging are the Ending of Karma and the Beginning of Karma. Remember that Karma is simply Inertia – Habits that Simplify our Lives and Stretch our Attention Span when they work (like Trusting our Habitualized Body to do most of the work driving the car) and that can greatly Complicate our Lives when they don’t (like Trusting Tesla’s Rube Goldberg “self-driving” mechanisms to drive the car).

The Beginning of Karma is pretty Innocent. We Choose to Practice something that seems Useful at the time (like driving a car with an internal combustion engine), usually without thinking about what sort of Karma it will become several Lifetimes hence, when Circumstances may be drastically different. Ending Karma is always problematic, because Habits aren’t easy to Break, even when we no longer need them. We no longer leave water and hay for our car when we park it overnight. We may have been Delighted to drop that Habit, especially if we didn’t Relate to our Horse as a Conscious Entity. If we and our Horse Loved one another, trading Her in for a car was probably a serious Challenge.

Darshanamaya has graciously offered us a few Secrets about Easing Ending Karma…

“Author James Clear [in his book Atomic Habits] writes:

‘The 4 Laws of Behavioral Change:
Make it Obvious
Make it Attractive
Make it Easy
Make it Satisfying’ ”

I would add a fifth “Law” – Use a PIAVA. Karma Resides in the Unconscious, and the usual Plan-Test-Revise-Execute Dynamic Change process doesn’t work in the Unconscious because Logic is just a circular game there. We Trust Logic because we’ve been brainwashed to not ask what the underlying Assumptions are. They’re always Either/Or, Political, while Reality and Spirit are always Both/And. Either/Or is about excluding the Other Tribe. Mary Magdalene is right here to Assist us!

And Bob (in Coloniser Queensland) has suggested that we can view this Atropos-Klotho combination as Letting Go of “an old Identity” and Swapping in a New Identity, rather than Old and New Karma, which is an excellent idea. And he Identifies a fabulous pair of candidates for the Swap, for me as well as for he… “my own self sabotage is my habit of attempting to analyse everything to the nth degree instead of relying on the intuitive messaging I am constantly receiving.” I don’t Believe there’s a faster path to 5D, because 5D only works when we – and everyone else in our 5D Community – does exactly that. Bob sends a Smiling 4-Eyed Sun for Emphasis…

• So, how might we Make that Change Obvious? I guess if I use my own “formula,” I’d first figure out a way to Notice that I’m analyzing! I’ll try putting up “What If I Already Knew?” signs in Obvious (Obtrusive, so they’re hard to ignore) places around my workstation and office.
• Making it Attractive means making it Positive Energy – so no scolding myself for analyzing, instead, Congratulating myself for Noticing. So I’ll add a big “Congratulations! You’re The Best!” to the bottom of the signs.
• I don’t know how to make it any Easier, but I’m Open to Suggestions.
• It’ll be Satisfying to the Extent that my Intuition is Accurate, which means that it’s either Correct, or Leads me to a Whole New Way of Thinking about what I was about to Anal-yse.
• I’d enlist Earth and Fire by Attuning my Old Habit to my Energy Body, by Tapping on “Even though I tend to Analyze too much, I Deeply and Completely Love and Accept Myself…”
• Then I’d petition Air and Water by PIAVAing something on the order of a Theta such as “God Goddess, Creator of All Things – including Mary Magdalene – I Command that I Rapidly and Completely but Lovingly and Gently Learn to Trust My Intuition at Least as Much as My Analyses. It Is Done, It Is Done, It Is Done. Thank You, God Goddess and Mary Magdalene. Show Me!

I can’t help but “keep score,” whether for Analysis or for Intuition. For instance, I analyzed a potentially important decision last night, while Tentatively Thinking that What Triggered the Desire to Analyze May Have Been an Intuition. I Decided Analytically not to follow the potential Intuition. It was time-critical, and after the deadline passed I Regretted not Trusting the original thought as an Intuition. So I PIAVAed that I could Make Amends Successfully in the morning, which I did. It was a numerical Decision, so I can come up with a quantifiable comparison, which I just calculated – My Intuitive Choice Was a 30% Improvement Over What My Analytical Choice Would Have Been. Case Closed.

It is, however, Easy to Confuse Karmic Bias with Intuition. For instance, I’ve mentioned my Karmic Fear of car-tastrophes many times. If anyone’s interested in Learning a method for Distinguishing Karmic Bias from Intuition using Tapping and Theta Iteratively, Let me Know and I’ll repeat it.

While typing all that, I stumbled into another Habit/Identity that I’ve been working hard to Change – my Habit of Blaming “Inanimate” objects for my own Errors, which usually occur when I’m trying to get several things done at once. Changing a bunch of paragraphs into a List in WordPress requires a very specific sequence of steps, which I failed to execute several times in making the List above. I quickly Realized that I’d Insulted WordPress in a comment earlier, calling it “Wordsqueeze” instead. That Realization (not Apology, yet) helped a little, but I still screwed it up a few more times. So I Slowed Down and stopped thinking about the Next Steps, Focusing only on the List. It then went well.

Okay, so I’ve corrected my Insult to WordPress, and Aplogized. Feels Peaceful. Now, I step out of Collaboration with the “Inanimate” World when I try to get a lot done in a little time. I think I mentioned that I’ve added Gay Hendricks’s book The Big Leap to our Bibliography. The Big Leap is from our Zone of Competence to our Zone of Genius, and Gay offers a Treasure Chest of methods for doing this. One is Avoiding Upper Limits, where we Sabotage ourself when we Achieve More Success than we’re Comfortable with. The one I’m working with here though, is Einstein Time, where we Realize that in Newtonian Time, time is doled out TO us and we’re Slaves to the Clock and Calendar. In Einstein Time, We Create as much time as we Want.

I haven’t figured out the Connection between Time and Gay’s Key Question that can take us back into Einstein Time when we slip back into Time Slavery – it’s Where in My Life Am I Not Taking Full Ownership? Decades ago, when I studied Time Management, I Learned that the Fulcrum was to always Ask Ourself, Am I doing The Most Important Thing First? Considering my recent Dream, of a School Bus slowly drifting sideways into a cliffside covered with Ivy where it became Hopelessly Entangled (I couldn’t get to the door to help anyone get out), and even though Doing What We Most Love is a Big Key to Einstein Time, and I Love Doing this sort of astrological Analysis, and even though a School Bus isn’t literally an astrobuss, it’s hard to deny the Suggestion, so I Intuit that it’s telling me that I need to go fix myself some Good Food, and get good Sleep tonight.

I’ve added several books to the Bibliography lately about Suggestions and Methods for Collaborating with the allegedly “Inanimate” World, and it Deserves a separate post.

Lots more to say about the Pluto Station and the impending Full Moon! The Pluto Station chart features three T-Squares (Challenges/ SuperPowers), one to Atropos-Klotho-Magdalena that’s Enhanced (part of a Grand Trine as well as a T-Square) but not Self-Resolving (not also the Focus of a Finger of the Goddess), a second one to Pluto Stationary that’s also Enhanced but not Self-Resolving, and the third one to Sedna (Converting Fear to Power) that is triply Self-Resolving (a Diamond Star, a Grand Trine, and the Grand Trine is shared with the Pluto T-Square, so the two Cooperate).³ But we’ll have to continue later.

¹ 10:55 pm BST 8 October, 5:55 am AEST 9 October, in 27 Capricorn (the Ability to See through the Veil, which We Can Use to Ascend if We Choose to).

² Asteroids Atropos (Previously Scheduled Expiry of Karma) in 26 Sagittarius, home of Fixed Star Aculeus (Abuse that Strengthens Us; Prenatal Decision to End All Karma in the Lifetime) Conjunct (Merged With) Klotho (Creation of New Karma) in 28 Sagittarius (Victory of the Light Despite Great Distraction), adjacent to Fixed Star Acumen (Destructive Gossip; Resisting Total Surrender) and Conjunct (Merged With) Magdalena (Mary Magdalene, the Feminine side of the Christ Energy) in 30 Sagittarius (Reweaving the Tapestry).

The Christ Energy is very poorly represented by the Louder side of “Christianity” these days. Most prominently, the Christ Energy is about Tolerance, while the Louder side of “Christianity” Projects “Sin” on everyone else and acts Satanic about their Desire to Punish it. A throwback to the Arian Age, an Age of Tribal Warfare and Violent Heroes, they are an adolescent version of the Patriarchy, and like the Doomed Patriarchy, their Clamor is their Death Throes. Their Self-Inflicted Suffering needs to be Expressed and Heard, and they need our Empathy but definitely not our Obeissance. Jesus of Nazareth personified the Christ Energy, but so have many other Wisdom-Speakers. The Christ Energy (basically, Peace, Love, Tolerance, Generosity, Collaboration) is quite close to what we think of as 5D, and is Spiritual, not Religious. Religions are Political, Either/Or, Good/Bad, Right/Wrong. Spirit is Inclusive, always Both/And.

³ Atropos-Klotho-Magdalena (see previous note) T-Square across the Opposition between Neptune (Material Confusion and Spiritual Clarity) in 24 Pisces (Union with the Spirit of Gaia, Attuned to Deep Rhythms in 5D ) and Mercury (Awareness, Communication) in 22 Virgo (Tasked to Channel, Challenged to Distinguish Future from Present ). Enhanced by a Grand Trine from Atropos-Klotho-Magdalena to Eris (see next paragraph) and Sisyphus Out of Bounds (see Sedna paragraph below).

Enhanced by a Grand Trine from Pluto to Sedna (see next paragraph) and Mercury (see previous paragraph).

Dwarf planet Sedna (Converting Fear to Power) in 30 Taurus (Guided to Explore the Underwhere) T-Square to Sisyphus Out of Bounds (Perpetually Interminable Labors) in 28 Leo (Tied to the Harsh Discipline of Overcoming Ego to Find Joy) Opposite the Stellium of (1) minor planet Damocles (Fear of Accountability) in 27 Aquarius (Having a Defined Path but Losing It Over and Over Again, in Order to Learn How to Guide Others Out of the Same Diversions) and asteroids (2) Vesta Stationary (Emphatic Growth in Consciousness) in 24 Aquarius, home to both of the Fixed Stars Sadalsuud and Deneb Algedi (Mandatory Mastery of Thinking, until the Basic Assumptions Prove to Be Wrong, then we must Surrender to Intuitive Survival ), plus (3) Heracles (Hit-Man for the Patriarchy) and (4) Phaedra (Shame), both in 29 Aquarius (Turned Inward, Focused with as much Curiosity as Intention on the New Self One Is Becoming).
