Deja Vu All Over Again 3

Continuing where we left off in the previous post…

Here’s an irresistible quote about Feminine Power, from Van Badham in the Guardian…

“In the public theatre of gender activism, imagine an army of assassin-attired older women haunting the dreams of every Nazi, tradwife, anti-trans-bathroom authoritarian and anti-abortionist and making them as afraid of us as the loud sluttiness of our bimbo sisters makes them uncomfortable. We’re invisible to patriarchy anyway, so let’s weaponise the social performance of the ageing woman as anonymous, omnipresent … and capable of anything. The bimbos get it: the far right have already declared their gender war. If you want to fight it, grab a mask and suit up. They will never see us coming.”

In the Deja Vu All Over Again 1 post, we mentioned that the 1 Cancer Initiation of Fate by Intuition (Moira by Asbolus) occurred Adjacent to the Great Star Betelgeuse, which means The Hollowness of Being Outer-Directed. Betelgeuse is in the news again, because it apparently is preparing (in Cosmological Time) to Detonate. The Hollowness of Being Outer-Directed is one of our Impediments to Enlightenment, so it’s Demise could be a Cosmic Confirmation of Earth’s Ascension.

26-27 of the Cardinal Signs

This is another New Degree Zone. The Prospectus…

5/29/23

Eris (Revelation of What’s Been Denied) Initiates Atropos (Expired Karma) in 26 Aries (Union with All), Beginning a 4-Year Cycle about Breaking our Addiction to Our Expired Karma by Retraining Ourself to Relish the Void that we Feel when Karma Leaves Town, instead of Grasping at What Feels Missing, UT 0:47 (PDT 5:47 pm 28th, BST 1:47 am 29th, IST 6:17 am 29th, AEST 10:47 am 29th)

As we’ve often repeated (Does Anyone Remember Repetition?), Expired Karma isn’t Easy to Let Go Of because we get Addicted to it. Not a necessarily Harmful Addiction, it’s more like Food – we’re so used to it that we miss it when it’s Absent. But Karma will slow our Ascension, since Enlightenment is largely about Staying in the Present Moment, and Karma, expired or not, is kind of the antithesis of the Present Moment. So we have to Recognize that something is Karmic before we even Know that we Need to Let It Go.

Developing the Habit of Always Moving Into the Present Moment is one way to get around that. Noticing when we’re Thinking about the Past or Future is Powerful. Any Worry or other Repetitive Thought is a clue that we’re dealing with Karma. Is there something, pleasant or unpleasant, that we Feel Stuck On? That keeps coming back after we Shake It Off? We can use Mirrors on Ideas as well as on People.

There is one Major Challenge in the Initiation, and therefore in the Cycle, but it’s both Self-Resolving and Enhanced, so No Worries, though of course there may be minor Irritations in the process when Self-Resolution doesn’t occur immediately. If you can Tolerate the Irritations and Avoid Tinkering, the result will probably be better. They will likely take the Form of apparent Setbacks in your Path to Self-Love and Enlightenment. When they occur, Sticking with an Intention to Enjoy the Journey rather than Lusting for the Destination, will Serve you Well.

The base of this T-Square to Eurydike OOB in 29 Scorpio (Pulled into Suffering by the Attachments We Came to Heal, BUT Adjacent to the Fixed Star Toliman, Witness to the Most Intense Dramas, but Detached from Their Emotionality) is a Debate between Tantalus OOB (Unquenchable Lust) in Aquarius (Social Standing) and a Stellium of Samadhi (Enlightenment), Sappho (Unconditional Self-Love), and Sisyphus OOB (Tediously Repeating Tasks) on the Leo-Virgo Cusp (Let Go of Who You Think You Are and Let Yourself be Nothing for a while). However, if we cast the chart a certain way, Sedna (Converting Fear to Power) appears on the Cusp of Gemini to Complete the Grand Cross and Resolve the Main Issue, though there may still be those Irritations. If you do Encounter Fear, Remember your Kegels (Does Anybody Remember Kegels?).

This is an introduction to a series of 26 Aries (Union with All) asteroid Initiations by Eris, here of Atropos (Expired Karma) then of Panacea (Healing) on 6 July, of Lachesis (Unexpired Karma) on 10 July, and of Heracles (The Patriarchy) on 13 July. If we’re Open to it, this sequence could make a substantial dent in our Separation and Polarization. For instance, any one of these could bring Insights that cause us to consider taking Ownership of what we’re Projecting onto those Idiots on the Other Side of those Mirrors on the inside of our Eyelids.

6/1

Veritas (Truth of the Mind) Initiates Venus Out of Bounds (Deep Review of Our Values) in 27 Cancer (The Hidden Half of Ourself that Will Change the World If We Can Find It and Nurture It and Allow It to Express Itself), Adjacent to the Fixed Star Procyon (Sticking with Our Dream), Beginning a 15-Month Cycle Devoted to Complete Reinterpretation of Our Values; UT 21:42 (PDT 2:42 pm 1st, BST 10:42 am 1st, IST 3:12 am 2nd, AEST 7:42 am 2nd)

This Veritas-Venus Initiation has the same chart as the Eris-Atropos Initiation above, so the same Considerations apply, and also apply throughout the two Cycles. However, read what’s in the boxes carefully, as the astroevents and Cycles are very different. Each Cycle is part of the definition of the Other. For instance, our Insights about our Karma will impact the Changes in our interpretation of our Values, and our Reinterpretations of our Values will interact closely with our Insights about our Karma. Sounds Complicated, but not really, as our Values and our Denials impact everything in our Lives, and dealing with both at once just gives you Practice for Working Multidimensionally. You’ll be Appreciating Cognitive Dissonance before you know it.

To be continued…

Ego Edges

We’re still trying to satisfy two Goals with one Blog – describing what’s going on on the Planet while gradually teaching astrology, since anything you Learn about astrology will greatly deepen your Experience of Life on Earth and your Adeptness with it. In this post, read through it first while Suspending Disbelief and ignoring the footnotes. Then go back and reread the whole post, exploring the footnotes as you go. Even if you have no interest in Learning anything about astrology, there is much to gain by simply skimming the footnotes to see if anything catches your eye. Skimming may not get us a PhD, but when we’ve skimmed the same or similar material many times, a lot more has sunk in than we Realize.

💥

One of the greatest Toxins that we Encounter is Certainty. My training as a Psychic was rudimentary. I had fabulous Teachers, I just didn’t pursue it very far because there were too many other Threads going on at the time, but one of the first things I learned was that an easy way to access our Intuition is to Ask ourself, What If I Did Know?

It’s a great technique, and it almost always serves us, but without additional Discernment Skills, it serves our Heart’s Truth, not necessarily the Etheric Truth, and not necessarily Someone Else’s Heart’s Truth. Our Heart’s Truth is a Reliable Guide for Avoiding Self-Sabotage, but it doesn’t Clear our Limitations. Of course, for most everyone reading this, your Heart’s Truth will include a Life Mission of Clearing your Limitations, but that can’t help but compete with other, more trivial matters, such as Survival, or Getting Bald and High…

We’ve just been through a couple of weeks of Fear and Anger,¹ and we’re already diving into another week that isn’t per se about Fear and Anger, but is by its nature heavily encumbered with Fear and Anger.² We’ll talk more about this Forbidden Genius of ours soon, but I want to introduce Them through a prominent (though subtle) feature of the 22 August Full Moon…³

¹ The 30 August 2021 Station of Sedna [Converting Fear to Power] in 30 Taurus, stretched out by the 30 August-3 September Out-of-Bounds Moon [Excess Emotionality Covered by Deep and Wide Culturally-Supported Justification, AKA Focusing on our Thoughts about our Emotions rather than on how and where we Feel the Emotions in our Body]. Can we tell the Difference between our Emotions and our Thoughts about them?

Our Thoughts about our Emotions are Mental Gibberish serving only to prop up our Old Ego, Prevent Rebirth, and Maintain our Karmic Limitations. Emotion Itself on the other hand, is the Portal to our Sacred Intuition, to our Future, and potentially to our Liberation from Karmic Limitation (if we have the Fortitude to tackle our Thoughts about the Emotions that We’d Rather Die Than Feel ).

If we can Learn this Discernment^1a in this Lifetime, it will be the Pinnacle of Cosmic Success that will Change our Karma forever. Our fellow Gronabixoleans won’t recognize us when we return to our Home Galaxy. Discerning our Emotions (Pisces) from our Thoughts about them (Aquarius) is the Central Lesson of the Pisces-Aquarius Cusp, and if we don’t Learn it here we could be Stuck in Piscean Victimhood for possibly another 25 thousand years, till the next Progressed Pisces-Aquarius Cusp rolls around. Won’t that be Fun. Thank the Goddess that Linear Time is an Illusion.

^1a We also have to Learn that Emotions aren’t Ours or Theirs, any more than the Weather is. Emotions are Independent Energies that Visit us, and can Attach to our Egos like Leeches and Suck Away our Life Force. But they also Serve us as a Portal to our Sacred Intuition. We Feel and Dismiss them in a flash, till we get Stuck on Our Thoughts about Them. If we make Decisions based on our Thoughts about Them, we Create sticky new Karma that can follow us around the Multiverse like a hungry Coyote, just Out of Sight. But we know they’re There, don’t we.

² The 12 September (5:07 am PDT) Station of Ixion [Our Forbidden Genius] in 30 Sagittarius, the same Degree (in different Signs) as the Sedna Station and the Full Moon. When planets are in the same or nearby Degrees, the Interactions between their Domains of Impact are much more Intense. The Full Moon, the Sedna Station, and the Ixion Station span three weeks, but the Unconscious doesn’t Live in Linear Time. There in the Universe beyond the Bounds of our Ego (which Universe, if you haven’t noticed, is usually very much Larger than we are), everything is Simultaneous. Natives of North America (nee Turtle Island) Believe that everything that ever happened in a place is still going on there. If you bother to Look for it, you can Feel it.

³ In 30 Aquarius. The New and Full Moons primarily impact the 2-4 weeks following them. Find the complete chart for the 22 August Full Moon in the Expanding into Fear II post.

…namely, we have a Challenge between a double symbol of Rebirth and a double symbol of Death.⁴ This is not a Duel, but a more nuanced Conflict with many combatants and collaborators and involved spectators who have Skin in the Game.⁵ Our Self-Confidence is deeply Involved,⁶ as is The Integration of Feminine Power into our Life.⁷

⁴ Asteroid Klotho [Beginning New Fateful Adventures] Conjunct [Merged With] dwarf planet Haumea [Rebirth in an Unformed Molten State] on the Birth side, Square to [Challenged by – drawn as the shorter red line] two Strangers we’ve added to fill Vacancies, asteroid Requiem [Respect for Death] Merged With dwarf planet Cyllarus [Death in Combat] on the Death side. Centaur Cyllarus was Killed in the battle that Wounded Chiron.

⁵ The Square is part of a Grand Cross [Difficult and Complex Process involving many Related Issues – four planets equally spaced ’round the Zodiac, shown by the red square with a cross in the middle].

⁶ The other two corners of the Grand Cross are dwarf planet Chariklo [Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt ] – Chiron’s wife, and…

⁷ Two Fixed Stars, Al Rescha [Bringing two disparate Concept Sets together to Create Deeper Understanding] and Mirach [Harmony, Receptivity, Intuition, Magnetism, Collaboration].

Remember our first sentence? When we’re in a Life-and-Death Struggle, Certainty is the Order of the Day. We’re Certain that the Oxymoronavirus will kill us if we Let It. Or Wait! No, the Vaccine will Certainly Kill us! Meanwhile, Global Warming is Killing us, drowning some of us while we sleep. The Emperor has no Clouds. What is it that the Howlers Fear Most? Loss of Freedom, all seem to say.

Freedom to continue Life As It Was Known. Freedom to Blame the Threat to Survival on Viruses, Vaccines, Abortions, Masks, Political Opponents, anything which will Focus Attention on those Thoughts about the Fear that Life will Change drastically, because if the Caterwauling is loud enough, Influencing the Outcome of those Issues may be Possible. Won’t it be a shock when it’s discovered that Stopping Abortions and Vaccines and Viruses and Political Opponents doesn’t Stop Floods and Wildfires and Freezeouts. Won’t it be a shock when parents who risked their Children’s Lives sending them back to School discover that the Schooling that the Surviving kids received is worthless because it was only Relevant to Destroying the Earth.

In any four-cornered astrological Configuration, the Diagonals between the corners provide useful information. In this Death-Rebirth Configuration the Diagonals are Oppositions, usually signifying that two Concepts are Arguing, or if we aren’t in Resistance, that they’re willing to Cooperate.

The Rebirth corner Dances with the Integration of Feminine Power corner.⁸ If we’re indeed on the Cusp of Letting the Patriarchy Burn Itself Out, this will be a Delightful Dance. If we’re Terrified that our Investments in the Patriarchy are Bankrupt, then we’re likely to be Screaming into our Zoom Meetings that it’s Imperative to Bring Back Business-As-Usual, because that’s More Important (to them) than how many people are Dying.

The Death corner Dances with Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt.⁹ If we’re Confident we’re on our Path, then we’ll Embrace the Ego Death. If we’re in Self-Doubt, our Fear of Death will probably be Lit Up, and we might even be contemplating Physical Death.

But it’s not that simple. If we look closely we can see that both of these Oppositions are Mystery Schools.¹⁰ In a Mystery School we Learn something completely Surprising and Unexpected from the Dance, something that’s not accessible to the two-dimensional mind. If we’re Open to it, that is, and if we Avoid trying to “Figure It Out.” The Insights available are not accessible by the Mind, as they’re more multidimensional that the Mind is able to Grok. We have to be Mindful of the Presence of Thinking, Thank it and Bless It, and Open our Intuition instead.

There is something Profound to Learn, available to us over the coming week, about the Relationship between (Ego) Death and Confidence or Doubt, and something Profound for us to Learn about the Relationship between our Rebirth and our Integration of Feminine Power. Astrology does give hints about where to look for these Insights.¹¹ Death and Confidence-Doubt are somehow tied up in this Adventure with Being More Open to Embracing our Hidden Genius and Acknowledging How We Were Punished For It in our Youth. Rebirth and Feminine Power are somehow bound up in this Workshop with Acknowledging our Guilt and Tapping It Out.

⁸ Klotho-Haumea Opposite Mirach-Al Rescha.

⁹ Requiem-Cyllarus Opposite Chariklo.

¹⁰ These Oppositions are both Yin Gates. The Klotho-Haumea to Mirach-Al Rescha Opposition is surrounded by a big blue “Golden” Rectangle, Golden because the ratio between the length of the sides and the length of the ends is the “Golden Angle” of Sacred Geometry fame, an Angle that is Replete in Nature. Its corners are Karma, Nemesis [Guilt], the Fixed Star Scheat [Creative Freedom from Conventional Thinking], and Sedna.

The Chariklo to Requiem-Cyllarus Opposition is also enclosed in a Golden Rectangle, but it’s drawn in thinner blue lines. It connects Ixion et al, Moon-Jupiter [Expanding our Instincts], Chaos-Asbolus [Intuitive Insight into our Unlimited Potential], and Sun-Thereus [The Places in our Essence where we’re Willing to Wrestle with Bears].

¹¹ In the six diagonals embedded in each of the bisected Golden Rectangles…

For Rebirth-Feminine Power they’re the Karma-Scheat and Nemesis-Sedna Oppositions, Klotho-Haumea’s Quincunxes to Scheat and to Sedna, and Mirach-Al Rescha’s Quincunxes to Nemesis and Karma. Quincunxes are 5-Sign Angles, drawn in green lines.

For Death-Confidence they’re Chaos-Asbolus’s Opposition to Ixion-Pholus-GC, the Sun-Thereus Opposition to Moon-Jupiter, Chariklo’s Quincunxes to Chaos-Asbolus and Sun-Thereus, and Requiem-Cyllarus’s Quincunxes to Jupiter-Moon and Ixion-Pholus-GC.

These many Relationships are for Meditation, not Analysis – that’s 12 Meditations. If you’re up for that, more Power to you! Remember that Quincunxes represent Questions, not Answers or Statements. And Remember that in a Yin Gate, Oppositions will not be Arguments or Collaborations, but Paradoxes, like Zen Koans. What’s the Sound of One Bear Wrestling while Expanding? might be an example (Thereus Opposite Jupiter). The Insights in these Gordian Knots will be Personal, not Global. If you have any natal planets on Cusps, the Rewards from this Exploration may be Immense.

In Our Own Truth

In addition to a Celebration of The Mischievousness of Jupiter (see previous post), we’re also Celebrating Claiming Our Own Power (in the 7am PST 1 March 2020 Station [Intensification] of dwarf planet Asbolus [Intuition], a T-Square [Challenge] points at a Conjunction [Merging] of Jupiter [Expansion] with asteroids Pallas [Boundaries] and Aletheia [Truth of the Heart], and with dwarf planet Hylonome [Self-Sovereignty]).  Or we could say that Our Intuition is very Clear about when and how to Defend our own Truth.

Now, that’s a Positive Interpretation of the current astroenergy.  No astroenergy is either Heads or Tails, it’s always the Coin.  The Negative or Karmic Interpretation would be that We are Frustrated to Death about how, All Our Life, we’ve been Dominated by other people who don’t have our Best Interest at Heart!  It may not be that Strong – it could just be, We don’t like it when other people tell us what to do.  So which is it, the Positive Interpretation, or the Negative Interpretation?

That’s an Easy question.  It’s always an Opportunity to Enjoy the Positive Interpretation – why would we Choose to have it otherwise?  And when it’s not the Positive Interpretation that we Experience, it’s always an Opportunity for us to Become Conscious of a Habit that we have, of Seeing the World through Negative, Self-Sabotaging Eyes. 

That doesn’t mean we can always just go to the Witch Doctor and get a pill or potion that’ll switch us to the Positive – Habits can be very Difficult to Change.  But there is something we can easily Do in an Instant.  We can Notice our Victimhood, and Declare our Intention to Change that Habit.  Even if it appears that we are Powerless, we always have the Power to Intend, and Intention is the Second Step in Change, after we Notice that we Want to Change.

We don’t recommend that we court Change using Dynamic or Masculine Methods, which are basically some variation of Planning and Executing, preferably preceded by Observation, so the Plan has a Chance to meet our Objectives.  We prefer Magnetic or Feminine Methods of Manifesting Change.  To use Magnetism, we need to carefully Avoid focusing on Mechanism.  We Avoid worrying about How we are going to Change, we put all of our Attention on What we Want to Change.

We do this because, when we focus our Attention on How to Achieve our Goal, we can only Imagine the Mechanisms that haven’t worked for us all of our Lives.  Think about the times when we’ve Despaired over failing to Manifest What We Want – all we do is go over that old checklist of Mechanisms that have never worked for us and never will, till we get so tired of it that we Change the Subject.  When we instead focus our Attention on the Outcome we Want, it increases the likelihood that we’ll Recognize what we’ve Never Seen as a step toward What We Want, and Allows unfamiliar Mechanisms, including Magic, to work without our Interference.

We refer to all this as “PIAVA,” Prayer, Intention, Asking, Visualizing, Affirmation, and many other processes that focus on the Outcome we Want.  We describe this at https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava-review/.  All Prayers are Answered.  However, if we aren’t ready to Receive the Grace, the Universe will give us Pictures of Why we haven’t Manifested What We Want all our Lives.  Other people have What We Want, don’t they.  That Proves that it’s Possible, it’s just our own Karmic Resistance that holds it away.

We have to Respond to those Pictures as clues to help us know what we need to Change.  We need to be prepared to Trust that our PIAVAs will eventually be Answered, and we need to be Open to reading and following those Pictures, and Allowing our Consciousness to Expand as we do, to include what we Discover (The base of the Jupiter-Pallas-Aletheia-Hylonome T-square in the Asbolus-Station chart is the Opposition between asteroids Eurydike [Trust] and Juno [Growth in Consciousness]).

Dynamic Creativity Methods are extensions of the Ego – Planning and Executing are something that We have to Do.  Magnetic Manifestation Methods are done by Someone Else.  We PIAVA the Seed, the Clear and Persistent Picture of the Outcome that We Want, and we Allow the Universe to Provide it, because we have Proven to ourself over the course of our Life that We don’t know How it’s Created.  So we have to make ourself Available to Receiving it as a Gift from the Universe.  Not that we sit and wait for it, there will be intermediate Dynamic Steps that we’re Guided to perform along the way.

But mostly our job is to Hold the Energy, the Picture of What We Want, Steady and Solid, like a Magnet would.  We also have to stay focused on What We Want and not on What We Don’t Want.  We Ask for the Perfect Right Livelihood, and we end up with a job we Love that doesn’t pay well.  Tiring of poverty, we switch to one that pays better – and discover that we don’t Like it.  We can’t Substitute characteristics of What We Want, we have to Add them.

When we have the job we Love, rather than focusing on what it doesn’t provide (eg enough compensation), we focus on our Gratitude that we’ve Manifested a job we Love, while Adding to our Image of What We Want, that We Want to Do What We Love AND get paid more for Doing it than we ever Imagined might be Possible (the Asbolus Station itself is also the focus of a T-Square, this one on the base of Neptune [Surrendering Control] Opposite asteroid Nemesis [Ego Death]).  In order to Let Go and Let the Goddess Manifest for us, we need to be willing to Let Go of our Ego as our Hero.

Here’s the chart…

Hidden behind this one is a second chart…

This is a Grand Quintile – five planets more or less equally spaced around the Zodiac.  We haven’t seen one of these in a while.  The Fifth Harmonic is about Teaching and Learning.  The Circled X at the bottom of the chart is the Arabic Part of Fortune.  We don’t usually use those because in these charts they apply only to the Pacific Time Zone, not to everyone on the Planet.  We included this one because it has a Fixed Star behind it, the Star Acubens, which stands for Resurrection or the Creation of New Life.  We can see from the planets involved  that this is a major Step toward 5D….

We’re being Taught here how to use our own Natural Instincts (Moon) to Resurrect ourself (Acubens) by Surrendering Control to a Higher Power (Neptune), Allowing this Higher Power and Its Allies to Resolve our Karmic Limitations (South Node) and Grow our Consciousness (Juno) enough that we Recognize What We Want when we Receive it, and we Own our Gratitude for it.  The most Powerful way to PIAVA What We Want is to spend time Imagining How We Will Feel when we Fully Receive it.  If we do that enough we’ll soon Realize that we’ve not only had What We Want all along, but we’ve also always had the Power to Manifest it at Will.  We just Forgot that We Are Creators.

Gordy’s Knot Merit Badge #2

We’re dealing with Stations at 5, 11, and 16 Degrees and a budding New Moon at 13 Degrees, which means that with our usual three Degrees of Sensitivity, more than half of the Zodiac is lit up, and more than half of your natal planets are Singing loudly.  Look at how the Planet is Responding…

UFOs galore…

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/26/us/politics/ufo-sightings-navy-pilots.html

And just what is an “unexpected interplanetary shock wave”?

http://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=29&month=05&year=2019

“A minor interplanetary shock wave hit Earth (http://spaceweather.com/images2019/27may19/impact.png?PHPSESSID=776hrcea3j3u5rif4ilv7usje1) on May 26th at approximately 22:00 UT.  The CME-like disturbance was unexpected.  It caused the density of the solar wind around Earth to abruptly quadruple, while the interplanetary magnetic field doubled in strength.  Earth’s magnetosphere was rattled by the impact (http://spaceweathergallery.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=153791), but it did not spark a geomagnetic storm.”

But it did not spark a geomagnetic storm or Aurora.  I don’t recall ever reading about anything like this, but evidently they’re just abrupt changes in the Solar Wind (or “Winds” from other sources or Dimensions?) that aren’t predicted by the spacecraft that track Solar activity.  David Yarrow tells me that we, if we’re Open to it, detect Magnetism through our Third Eye.  Anybody Feel it?  That would be about 3pm PDT on Sunday.  At about that time I was being spoken to by a very Ancient and very large Voice while leaning against a cliff that is Sacred to the pre-Colonial inhabitants of this area.

The previous SpaceWeather link explains that the “train” of bright Lights in the sky the last few nights, and the super-bright Flashes, weren’t UFOs but the 60 or so Internet satellites that SpaceX launched recently, as they each seek their own orbits around the Earth.  SpaceX plans to do this another 200 or so times, so these fireworks may become routine.
