We can’t get much better Grace than having Lord God Ganesh, Out of Bounds (Amplified), looking over our Mars-Chaos – both Amplified – Challenge at the 20-22 March 2023 Heracles-Aries Equinox New Moon. Nevertheless it will still be a Sterling idea to Remember to Ask, “Lord God Ganesh, Please Remove All Obstacles to” Whatever You’re Working On, even if you don’t Remember till after you encounter an Obstacle…
So what sort of Challenge might we Expect? While we think of Mars as Action, it never hurts to be on the Lookout for Anger when Mars is Lit Up, and as Repressed as our Unlimited Potential (Chaos) has been, we undoubtedly have a decent-size Reservoir of I-Coulda-Been-A-Contenda! Anger inside us. If we don’t have such a Personal Stash, no big deal, just reach into the Unconscious for a helping of the Universal Dissatisfaction with Programmed and Karmic Limitations.
Anger is an excellent Motivator for Acting to Set Boundaries against Abuse and other Limitations. You want Anger to be a Motivator, not a Modus Operandi. While there may be times when Picking a Fight serves your Needs, it’s not usually the most Effective Strategy, unless you’re the Aspiring Beta Dog in a Wolf Pack and you Believe you can Win. As a Doorway into Repressed Unconscious Contents, though, Anger can be an Excellent Tool. When was the last time you were inspired to call someone an Idiot and Wish them Unwell?
If you forget about that Idiot and trace your Irritation back to More Significant Origins, you may tap into AncientKarma that’s Ready to be Let Go Of. War Criminal Pootin’, for instance, Believes he’s Avenging his Ancestors in Ukraine, but the original Kievan Rus was founded by Swedes and Lithuanians and Cossacks, among the many races that had crisscrossed the Breadbasket of Eurasia over the centuries. As they say, Justice is spelled “JustUs.”
When we regard any and all Obstacles as Teachings, it’s easy to see that Repression of our Unlimited Potential has served to Ground us in our Animal Nature, as part of Hybridization between Animal and Spirit. We’re too Hupercentric to accord the same Hybridization to other Critters besides our own twisted species. The Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom TV series Programmed my generation to Believe that Nature is “Red in Tooth and Claw” in order to sell us Life Insurance.
The Obstacles Ganeshi has been Strategically leaving in place hereabouts are excellent Reminders that For Manifestation to Work, We Need to Start with Gratitude and Hold High Vibrations, not Start with Expectation and Indulge Disappointment. When we aren’t ready to Receive, the Universe always Answers our Requests Initially with Illustrations of What Else We Need to Let Go Of. It may not be enough to Want It So Bad We Can Taste It, we may also need to Raise Our Vibes to a Higher Level.
Chaos OOB (Unlimited Potential Exaggerated) Initiates Mars OOB (Amplified Action) 22-23 March 2023 (PDT 10:55 pm 22nd, GMT 5:55 am 23rd, IST 11:25 am 23rd, AEST 3:55 pm 23rd) in 29 Gemini (Embrace of the Unconscious to Bring Light), adjacent to the Fixed Star Betelgeuse (Focus on Achievement and Discovering The Hollowness of Being Outer-Directed). Of course we can’t Manipulate the Unconscious Directly, we have to PIAVA or Petition it. The Cycle lasts 18 months, till 11 September 2024. The Waxing Square, when the Cycle goes Mainstream, occurs 31 August 2023, from 3 Libra (Larger than Life, but sometimes Missing Important Details).
Mars OOB enters Cancer (Nurturance, Compassion) 25 March (PDT 4:45 am, GMT 11:45 am, IST 5:15 pm, AEST 9:45 pm). 1 Cancer is Surrender to Spirit, and of course is also adjacent to Betelgeuse (Focus on Achievement and Discovering The Hollowness of Being Outer-Directed).
BST (British Summer Time) replaces GMT at 1am 26 March (GMT 1am becomes BST 2am).
The Moon goes Out of Bounds (Panic is more Likely) over the Northern Hemisphere 26 March (PDT 12:46 am, BST 8:46 am. IST 1:16 pm, AEST 5:46 pm) in 4 Gemini (Compulsively Drawn Toward the Ephemeral) till 31 March (PDT 6:41 am, BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm, AEST 11:41 pm) in 8 Leo (A Charmed Life on the Edge between Pride and Modesty, with Need for Vigilance against Jealousy).
Ganesa OOB (Remover of Obstacles on Steroids) Initiates Mars OOB 6-7 April (PDT 6:37 am 6th, BST 2:37 pm 6th, IST 8:07 pm 6th, AEST 12:37 am 7th) in 7 Cancer (Returning to Source), adjacent to the Fixed Star Mirzam (An Embodied Mysterious Message). The Cycle lasts 3 years, till 19 May 2026 (UT 17:47). The Waxing Square, when the Cycle goes Mainstream, occurs 1 February 2024, from 22 Capricorn (Surrendering Personal and Ancestral History).
Zircon, one of the most Ancient of Crystals, is a good Stone to Contemplate to Gently Touch Deep Anger, and to Ground one from Overwhelm. Zircon is a simple Zirconium Nesosilicate, the “Nesos” being Crystals with their Silicate units occurring in isolation, not in pairs or sheets or rings, making the Mineral very Dense because the Silicates can be packed more closely. For the same reason, Zircon is more Long-Lived than most Minerals because its Hardness, and lack of Cleavage Planes in the Crystal Structure, makes it almost indestructible. It’s often Radioactive from Thorium or Uranium contaminants, and always contains some Hafnium substituting for the Zirconium. Rogue Neutrons pass right through Zirconium, but stop cold at Hafnium. So Zirconium is used for the Fuel Rods in Nucular Reactors, and Hafnium for the Control Rods. Both are mined from Zircon Sand. The transparent blue Ziron Gems are created by heating natural Zircon.
If you lean toward the Passive-Aggressive, or prefer that as your method of Venting Excess Anger, you probably want to Contemplate Amblygonite instead. It’s a Phosphate of Aluminum and Lithium or Sodium. It’s an excellent counterpoint to Intense Mental Activity, and Calms Nervousness of any kind.
Spring in the North and Fall in the South officially begin when the Sun crosses the Equator on it’s Northward journey, thus by definition in Tropical astrology entering Aries, 20-21 March 2023,1 but it’s the Moon that Triggers our Experience of astroevents, and the New Moon, occurring in the first Degree of Aries almost a full day later,2 is our Real benchmark.
1 Sun enters Aries 20-21 March 2023 PDT 2:24 pm 20th, GMT 9:24 pm 20th, IST 2:54 am 21st, AEST 7:24 pm 21st. 2 New Moon 21-22 March PDT 10:23 am 21st, GMT 5:23 pm 21st, IST 10:53 pm 21st, AEST 3:23 am 22nd, in 1 Aries, Single-Minded, Hard-Working, Opinionated.
As we mentioned in the previous post, “In her latest blog post at https://walkinginbothworlds.com/2023/03/09/the-final-frontier/, NathaJay says, ‘If we wish to quickly land on our highest timeline, we must consciously align with our own Higher Self.‘ ” In our post, we related that to the then-simultaneous Station (Enhancement) of dwarf planet Chaos, which means not Disorder but our True Self when stripped of our Programming and Karma, aka our Unlimited Potential, or what can be called our Higher Self or Soul Self, our Wholistic and Holographic Connection to Source. Chaos is Out of Bounds, or Amplified.
It’s not what she actually said, but when I read that in NathaJay’s blog, while War was Escalating and Banks were Failing, what I “heard” in my head was a warning that 3D may be about to get pretty Scrambled, and we may need our 5D Skillset – “our highest timeline” – sooner than expected. The Equinox New Moon is Merged with asteroid Heracles, One of the Hit Men that Dr. Zeuss sent out to Assassinate the Symbols of Feminine Power. It’s no surprise that Heracles would attend the Funeral of the Patriarchy, with its signature Power-Over Wars and Banks.
The major Challenge in the Heracles-Equinox New Moon chart3 is the Initiation of a New Cycle between dwarf planet Chaos Out of Bounds (Our Unlimited Potential Amplified), and Mars Out of Bounds (Exaggerated Actions and Emotions), in 29 Gemini (Embrace of the Underwhere to Bring Light), Watched Over by Lord God Ganesh, Remover of Obstacles (asteroid Ganesa). That’s Intense and gets complicated, so we’ll plan to talk about it in more detail in the next post.
3 Single non-Self-Resolving T-Square to Mars OOB-Chaos OOB-Ganesa OOB from Heracles-New Moon Opposite Ceres (Sustainability).
I know we don’t all Believe in Christmas, but we all Believe in Santa Claus, Right? We’re mixing our Metaphors a little here, Confusing Solstice with Christmas, but we won’t be the first by any means. Confusion is the First Stage of Growth after all. We interpret asteroid Artesian as a Powerful Aid to Manifestation, so we can think of Artesian as Santa’s Elf. The Unconscious operates by Association rather than Cause An Defect, so already having an Astrologic License, we don’t need a Poetic License.
In Carl Jung’s thinking, Cause an Defect is to Logic, as Association is to the Rest of Life. In those terms, there isn’t really much covered by Cause an Defect, is there. Kind of shows us how far off the Mark Western Civilization is, with it’s Denial of Intuition and Nature and Magic. Magic just means we don’t know How it will occur. The Capricorn Solstice, as the New Year in the Perennial Wisdom, is the primary Initiatory event for the coming Year, and the chart for the Solstice at 0 Degrees is the same chart as the chart for the Station of Artesian at 29 Degrees. Almost.
The Solstice occurs with Artesian Stationary, so we can certainly say that 2023 will be an Artesian Year, a year for Amplifed Manifestation. But Artesian isn’t quite done with Leo yet – it turns Retrograde on the Cusp of Virgo, so by the time the Sun enters Capricorn a day later, Artesian is moving the other way. It hasn’t moved far, only 12 arcseconds, three thousandths of one Degree or nine millionths of the Zodiac. Nevertheless, it’s a Near Miss. Artesian doesn’t turn Direct again till April, and it doesn’t get back to the Cusp of Virgo till mid-year.
It means that if we’re Disappointed during 2023 by a False Alarm or an Almost-Manifestation, we want to Focus Deeply on our Disappointment for about twelve seconds, just so we don’t Stuff the Experience of the Feeling, before we Get Excited and start Celebrating what we’re about to Manifest. After a thousand steps Forward, don’t let two steps Backward get you down. Our Compass was just a little off those last few steps, and we were about to hurt our shoulder on the doorjamb. Two steps back to get it just right is exactly what we’re here for!
One of the biggest Obstacles to our Manifestation is that we get too Focused on our Expectations. When we’re trying to Manifest something we’ve never Manifested before, we actually have no idea what it’ll really Look like when we see it. We could Look right at it and walk on by. We can’t help but have a Mental Image of What We Want, but we have to strip that Image naked and beyond, to get to How It Feels. When we’re Open to How It Feels, we’ll Recognize it immediately. How it Looks is 2D, a black and white snapshot. How It Feels is nD, aka Real Life.
We can see that Clearly in the Salacia Station chart that we covered in the previous two posts. Asteroid Ganesa, Remover of Obstacles, is in the Salacia Grand Cross, Debating with (Opposite) our Karma, in particular our Karma about Global Warming et al (Pholus-Quaoar). Remember that Pootin’s War has become a symbol for Global Warming et al, including Demise of the Patriarchy, Collapse of the Planet-Destroying aspects of Western Civilization, etc. etc. So that comes down to the Choice between Focusing on our Expectations (Karma) or on Allowing Obstacles to What We Want to Be Removed (Ganesa).
The other Opposition in the Salacia Grand Cross was between Salacia and Kassandra, as we mentioned in our Forgotum. Salacia symbolizing our Commitment to Ascension and Kassandra our Not Quite Fully Believing our own Commitment, that is, the Unconscious Karma that makes Obstacles to our Commitment. As Bob says, “Somewhere in that Quantum Field is a wide open Gate, but it is a Feeling, not the analysis of the extraordinarily complicated fine print in the contract we signed prior to incarnation as Lightworkers in this lifetime! We just have to capture it and hold on to it like grim death!” [or like Ecstasy!]
An Artesian Spring is one that has enough natural Pressure that it Bubbles up on its own, without being pumped. Shamans sometimes do their Magic by Sucking out a Malady and then Blowing In a New Dream or Trance to replace it. Shamans need enough Power that they don’t Take On the Malady as they Spit it Out. We can use an Artesian Spring in the same fashion – Imagine the Spring Bubbling into the Malady, rinsing it out, and then Bubbling in a Whole New Trance, carried on Pure Water straight from Mother Goddess Earth.
Try it. It Works. We don’t even need to Worry about having enough Power to Reject the Malady, we can Trust Mother Earth to Compost it. And we don’t need to Name the Unconscious Obstacles to our Commitment. We just need to let Artesian Bubble them Out and rinse them away, and let Artesian Bubble in that Feeling that we have about What We Want. For instance, if we can’t help but Want Everyone Else to Ascend First, we could Bubble Out that Expectation and Bubble In the Recognition that We Came Here to Lead the Charge through Our Example.
The 19 December Salacia Station and 20 December Artesian Station1 are only a day apart. If we were doing a chart for “someone,” say, Baby Solstice aka Miss 2023, born on 21 December,2 we’d definitely include both of those Stations in the chart. And obviously the two other planets that are slowing down to Station on the 24th, Thereus3 (Relentless Teacher) and Sappho4 (Unconditional Self-Love), they’d be important parts of the chart too. And we’d want to consider the impending 23 December Moon-Sun Conjunction.5 These Energies would all be Merged into the Entity which will be born as 2023.
1 Station of Artesian in 29 Leo 20-21 December 2022 (PST 1:14 pm 20th, GMT 9:14 pm 20th, IST 2:14 am 21st, AEDT Qld 7:14 am 21st).
2 Sun enters Capricorn, Northern Winter and Southern Summer Solstice, 21-22 December (PST 1:48 pm 21st, GMT 9:48 pm 21st, IST 2:48 am 22nd, AEDT Qld 7:48 am 22nd).
3 Station of Thereus in 18 Virgo 24 December (PST 2:24 am, GMT 10:24 am, IST 3:24 pm, AEDT Qld 8:24 pm).

5 New Moon in 2 Capricorn 23 December (PST 2:16 am, GMT 10:16 am, IST 3:16 pm, AEDT Qld 8:16 pm).
Just discovered a few other Transitions in our Weltanshauung over the last few days…
Aletheia moved Out of Bounds (the Truth of the Heart Gets a Lot Louder) 12-13 December 2022 (PST 9:27 am 12th, GMT 5:27 pm 12th, IST 10:57 pm 12th, AEDT Qld 3:27 am 13th), in 28 Gemini. I have noticed a few apparently Black-Hearted Folks Seeking and Getting Minia Attention a little more shamelessly than usual. They seem to be trying to Rally one another, which could be seriously Uncomfortable for folks who are Triggered by their Abuse, React, and get Attacked online and Goddess-Forbid offline by a crowd of Black-Hearts.
With Ebony-Hearted T.rump seeming to be fading in his efforts, this could be another Herxheimer Reaction, where BlackHearts come out of the Woodwork to reveal their True Colors and the obvious bulletholes in their feet turn their GreyHearted fellow travelers back toward Civility. It will probably make the new US Congress more interesting. Aletheia retreats back In Bounds in mid-August 2023. Aletheia OOB will be important next week, as it stands out in the 20 December Artesian Station chart in 29 Leo.
Not that BlackHearts are a new phenomenon. T.rump as a child was Mentored by Joseph McCarthy’s lawyer Roy Cohn, master JetBlackHeart of the early 1950s. The obvious Polarization of the post-Gingrich Era was foresaged by the 30 December 1999 Pluto-Chiron Initiation in 12 Sagittarius, Tranced into Tracing the Scattered Threads of a Compelling Shadowy Karmic Drama that You Can’t Let Go of. This chart colored the Decade of the Oughts but not the Century (which began 1/1/2001) or the Millennium.
It does however continue to color the entire 70-year Chiron-Pluto Cycle. The most important Turning Point in a Cycle is always the Waxing Square, when the faster planet is three Signs ahead of the slower planet. That’s 2030 for this Cycle. Chiron is now 74 Degrees ahead of Pluto, the Quintile, one fifth of the way around. For the Cycle, that’s about Teaching. For us, it’s about Learning. Our Attention is our Most Valuable Power. Instead of Focusing on the Bright Dawn of Ascension, we Focus on the BlackHearted Clowns waving their arms and blowing their Dog-whistles to rob us of our Attention.
We’re Learning about Our Compulsion to Despair, Chiron-Pluto. Anyone who has seriously Practiced Poor-Sweethearting knows how Effortless it is to Jump from Despair to Miracles if we’re Ready. While Chiron introduces itself with Despair, it’s also about Miracles, about not Solving problems by Thinking Differently, but Making them Dissolve by Shifting our Perspective. If we’ve seen anything before, it’s Karma. It’s a Paper Tiger, a Shadow Puppet. It becomes Physical Karma only after we Transform it from Expectation to Reality by bathing it in Negative Attention. Is the Truth of your Heart Negative Attention? I doubt it. Choose otherwise.
A second planet moving Out of Bounds, at 1:45 am PST (GMT 9:45 am, IST 2:55 pm, AEDT Qld 7:45 pm) 13 December in 10 Sagittarius, was asteroid Pinocchio! Another Paragon of Negative Attention. Pinocchio has a prominent role in the 19 December Salacia Station, where it sits as a Challenge between Shame and Enlightenment. It’s hard to imagine that this story isn’t meant to subtly Shame little boys about their erections and educate little girls to know that Lust isn’t Love. It stays Out of Bounds till Día de Muertos 2023.
The third planet moving Out of Bounds doesn’t do so until 17-18 December (PST 4 pm 17th, GMT 12 am 18th, IST 5:30 am 18th, AEDT Qld 10 pm 18th). It’s Ganesa, and it stays OOB till mid-May 2023. Like Pinocchio, it plays an important role in the Salacia Station chart, where along with asteroids Kassandra (more Obfuscation) and Karma Out of Bounds Merged with the Global Climate Change (Pholus-Quaoar) it’s a corner of the Salacia Grand Cross.
So, what about Hupers? Well, contrary to poplar opinion, Hupers are part of Nature. A small part, but one which punches far beyond its weight when it comes to Destructiveness. So yes, Hupers are always in Balance. What’s Missing when we Feel – or Are – Out of Balance, resides in the Unconscious. We can’t Rely totally on our Feelings to Inform us when we’re Out of Balance, because most of us were Programmed to Overcompensate for what our Programmers Repressed. It’s often a Cultural thing, since Cultures which Overcompensate for Anxiety or Insecurity or Fear, do so by Encouraging Conscious Aggression. Goddess Knows we could do with fewer of these kinds of Cultures, or Families, or Führers on Earth.
This is Lit Up because the planetary symbol for Abuse and Privilege, Nessus, is particularly Emphatic (Stationary) till at least PST 3am (GMT 11am, IST 4:30 pm, AEDT Qld 9pm) 27 November. Hupers get Out of Balance partly because they rely on MentalDualities to Idealize Behaviors and even Emotions. In Striving toward “the Good,” Hupers push what’s “Bad” into the Unconscious. If anyone’s been following the Collapse of the FTX Crypt-O’Currency Exchange, they’re seeing a perfect example. “SBF” seems to be such a good Con that he may even have Conned himself. Seems to be quite a few of these Self-Con Jobs emerging from the Dustbunnies lately, Emulating that “Man from Florida Who Made an Announcement” and that gazillionaire who’s been Roasting a tiny little bird on a spit for Entertainment, and Recruiting Men from Florida.
Nothing Cons others better than the source of the word itself, Confidence. Hupers probably worship Confidence even more than they Worship Wealth, because they know that Confidence is one of the first prerequisites for Accumulating Wealth. The hallmark of Conservatism is the need to Rely on Authority, and nothing promotes Authority like Unconditional Confidence. Privilege doesn’t happen without Confidence, and Abuse doesn’t happen without Privilege. It’s the Mental Dualities that trap Hupers into circumstances like this.
When we have an Angel whispering in one ear and a Devil in the other and we have a hard time telling which is the Angel, the Way Out is Up. We Tell and Ask ourself, Ok, those are the End Points – of What Dimension? In the case of Abuse and Privilege, one Answer is Equality. If you’re dealing with Sexual Abuse and the protagonists are Equals, you’re just Playing Doctor, or some adult equivalent. There can of course be many Answers to the What Dimension? Question, and most of them will be Useful to some degree. When we look at Abuse and Privilege as an Equality issue, the Power Dynamics become Obvious, and most of them can be Traced to the Patriarchy.
The Classical Crystal for representing Equality is Clear Quartz, pure Silicate, like my personal favorite Diamantina Quartz, or my second-favorite, this Record-Keeper Corinto Quartz…
Just less than half of the Earth’s Crust is Oxygen, and just over a quarter is Silicon, adding to 75% of the Crust. Add other elements to the mix, and Silicates comprise 95% of the Crust, though only 12% is Quartz. Silicon and Oxygen combine as SiO4 tetrahedrons, with the Silicon nucleus in the center of four triangles pasted together at the edges, like at right. An Oxygen nucleus sits at each of the four corners. Quartz is a tektosilicate, where the tetrahedrons arrange themselves in a three-dimensional matrix.
The overall ratio in Quartz is SiO2, because each Oxygen nucleus is shared between the Silicon nucleus in the current tetrahedron and the Silicon nucleus of the adjacent one. Quartz is a Messenger, carrying Energy, including Healing Energy, and having unique Electromagnetic properties. Tiny Quartz Crystals are used as timing devices in all computers and communication equipment. You wouldn’t be reading this without Quartz.
There are three Self-Resolving Challenges (in astrologuese, Diamond Star Configurations, or T-Squares [red triangles] and Fingers of the Goddess [green wedges] pointing to the same place) in the 27 November Emphatic Abuse and Privilege (Nessus Stationary) chart. Like all Challenges, these become SuperPowers when we Rise to the Challenge and become Confident that we’re Competent to handle it. The Challenges or T-Squares in our natal charts usually represent Lifelong Frustrations, because the Dramas never Work Out the way we wanted them to.
Once we Realize though that Real Life doesn’t Follow our Perfect Pictures, and think about How Much Experience we have with those Difficult Dramas, and how we have Learned how to Avoid the Worst Consequences of Imperfection, we figure out that – Whoa, these actually Are my SuperPowers! Most of the time, when we stop and think about it, the Elements of Life that give us the most Trouble, are also the Elements of Life that Others Ask us for Advice about! They See and Trust our Experience with the Issue, while we don’t yet, because we haven’t Chosen to Be Confident about the Value of Our Experience.
We probably won’t have time to convert the three current Challenges to SuperPowers, unless we have similar natal Challenges, but by making the effort to Tolerate Imperfection, we can Learn a heck of a lot about these Challenges, to use in future similar Situations. All three are Self-Resolving, which means that if we can take the role of Neutral Observer and Avoid too much Intervention to Save our Ego from Embarrassment, they’ll Work Out for the Best.
The three red triangles and green wedges point to…
1. Mercury-Venus (Mind-Heart) with Mercury Out of Bounds (Strong) – Noticing how the Mind in its Arrogance or Privilege Believes itself to Make Better Decisions than our Heart, Emotions, and Values, and how we Abuse our Heart, Discount our Emotions, and Violate our own Values as a result! I don’t know about you, but for every minute I spend Learning to Quiet the Mind, Attend Closely to the Feelings – Sensations – in My Body that Align with My Emotion, Ask Reverently for Advice from my Body’s Ancient Wisdom, and Learning to Listen Attentively and Patiently and Impartially for that Advice, for every minute of that, I have spent and still spend days, months, years, Lifetimes Listening to My Thoughts about My Emotions, which at their very best are Fiction based on a True Story but Warped by My Programming, and more often Merely a Rehashing of My Past Failures to Learn the Wisdom Embedded in My Failures and the Failures of my Programmers.
The base of the red triangle, Juno-Nessus (Growth in Consciousness around Abuse and Privilege) Opposite Orcus-Thereus (Pattern-Breaking Merged with Bear-Wrestling) gives us a picture of what those would-be Angels-Devils on each Shoulder are whispering in our Ears – “You’re so fucking tired of Wrestling with this Bear of a Question about whether there’s Anything You can Do Differently to Avoid this Abuse or Memory, that you may as well just Surrender to Your Forever-Unresolved Anger and Fear and Shame about it.” “No, you’ve Done that a thousand times and you Know it doesn’t help At All. There must be Something you can Do Differently, that you haven’t Thought of yet!”
The base of the green wedge, Uranus-North Node (Soul Merged with Lifetime Mission) Sextile (Grace once we Make the First Step) Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles) tells us to whom we must Surrender in order for the Issue to Self-Resolve. Clues Galore! We might PIAVA to Ganesh that the Bear of a Question be Removed as an Obstacle. We can Ask Ourself, What If I Did Know My Soul and a Little about My Lifetime Mission – Maybe if I just Daydream about that I can Open Myself to My Own Intuition about What – If Anything – I need to Do About It.
The long green arms of the Finger of the Goddess, namely the Relationship between Mind-Heart and Soul-Mission, and the Relationship between Mind-Heart and Removal of Obstacles, are Quincunxes (5 Signs apart), which are Mystery Schools, filled with so many Paradoxes that the 2D Mind can only Screw it Up Royally. PIAVA that we Gain Wisdom Somehow, and Change the Subject!!! Get your Mind busy with Anything Else. Otherwise you’ll condemn yourself to more months and Lifetimes Debating with your Programmed Self-Sabotage. Guess who will win.
There are two short green lines or Unxes (1 Sign apart) on each side of the Focus. An Unx is a Get-Outa-Jail-Free card for Pattern-Breaking, an excellent time for some PIAVAs…
Mind-Emphasized-but-Merged-with-Heart Unx South Node – God/Goddess, Please Help Me Let Go of All My Held Emotions Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely! or something like that. (See 2. Lachesis, below)
Mind-Heart Unx Klotho-Magdalena – God/Goddess, Please Open Me to Beginning a Whole New Life (Klotho) where I Constantly Ask For and Graciously Receive Mary Magdalene’s Loving Guidance (Magdalena) or something like that. (See 3. Chiron, below)
The Focus of the Diamond Star is at the Midpoint of Sagittarius, which is the Place where we Let Go Of Believing that we Know the Answer, and Open to Brainstorming about Alternatives, and Stop Rejecting Our Intuition (end of Taurus Duad and Beginning of Gemini Duad of Sagittarius).
2. Lachesis (Karma that has not Expired on its own, but which we have the Power to Let Go Of Consciously If We Choose to) – There is a Pattern or Habit or Addiction that is Stopping Us from Moving Forward, and we can’t seem to be Able to Break it. We haven’t given ourself Permission to Break it, and Permission to Accept the Consequences, which are Unpredictable. Karma is Dead. It doesn’t have us in its Grasp, we have it Firmly Grasped. Even when Karma has Expired, we still seek it out, because it’s Familiar and we Feel Lost without it. Karma is our Expectations. The last time that happened, such and such happened, and now that is happening again, and I’m Terribly Anxious that such and such will happen again. Once again, we have to Move Up! What’s really going on in Current Moment Reality? I’m Feeling Anxiety! What will I Create when I’m Feeling Anxiety? More Anxiety. So I need to find a way to Move to a Posture of Love or Gratitude or Peace or Excitement
The base of the red triangle and the Angels and Devils Shoulding us? The Nodal Axis, with Uranus at the North Node (The course of my Life, from my Held Emotions [South Node] to my Lifetime Mission [North Node], with Soul Merged with My Mission!). Wow, that’s one Hell of a Pattern! Well, the only thing we can do is Go For It! First thing we need to do is Open up to Ego Death, because Held Emotions (the ones We’d rather Die than Feel, but which are really that We‘d (our Ego) rather Die than Feel them) won’t Let Go without an Ego Death. PIAVA that – God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, Please Open Me to the Ego Deaths I Need, Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely! Then we need to just Surrender to Our Soul and our Mission – Lord, Take Me Now! plus whatever caveats you think you need to stay Safe, the Fewer the Better. The only Ultimate Protection is Ultimate Vulnerability. Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely! never hurt nobody. This is Big – you been waiting all your Life for this! May as well Dive In Completely!
The base of the green wedge and Self-Resolution Grace? Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles) Sextile (Grace If Only I’d Ask for it) Orcus-Thereus (No-Holds-Barred Teacher of Pattern-Breaking) – God/Goddess, Please Help Me Surrender Completely to These Unbelievable Gracious Energies and Leave All My Stress Behind! or something like that.
Don’t Think of an Elephant, and while you’re at it, Acknowledge that the Relationship between Obstacles and Karma and between Pattern-Breaking and Karma (the long green lines) are so far above what anybody’s 2D Mind can comprehend, that you’d Never Bother to waste your time trying!
The short green lines…
Lachesis Unx Klotho-Magdalena – God/Goddess, Please Help Me Let Go of All Impediments to Opening Up to Beginning a Whole New Lifewhere I Constantly Ask For and Graciously Receive Mary Magdalene’s Loving Guidance! Or something like that.
Lachesis Unx Juno-Nessus – God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, Please Help Me Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely Let Go of All Impediments to a Huge Growth Spurt in Consciousness around Equality! Or something like that.
Lachesis, the Focus, is in 13 Aquarius, We Have All the Time in the World to Let Go of Yet Another Attempt by the Collective to Drag Us Back into Anxiety about Life and Death.
3. Chiron (Despair and Miracles) – We Know How to Handle Despair, Right? We Poor-Sweetheart Ourself!“You Poor Sweetheart, You’re Feeling Hopeless, Aren’t You.” Then we Change the Subject. Changing the Subject is important, because if we don’t Divert our Mind, it’ll Think us right back into Hopelessness. What, We Liketo be Hopeless? Goddess, it’s Strangely Satisfying, isn’t it. Who are we Punishing by Feeling Hopeless? Who was it that put Roadblocks in front of us no matter which way we turned? It wasn’t their fault, they were just trying Protect us? Well of course, but it wasn’t much of a Protection, was it! Who are we Punishing by staying in Hopelessness? Is it really worth it? Wouldn’t we Get Even with them better by Stepping into Freedom that they won’t be Able to Spoil?
The Opposition in the base of the Chiron T-Square is Ganesa Opposite Klotho-Magdalena! What a Horrible Fate, to have to Decide whether to let Ganesha Guide us or Mary Magdalene!! What, we can do both?!?!?! Hallelujah! Do you Really Think that they’d ever Disagree with one another and couldn’t combine their Wisdom into something far Better? Oh, that was your Catholic father and Anglican Mother you were confusing with Ganesh and Mary. Ok, that’s understandable. But now you’ve Let that Go, right? I mean, they’ll speak in different languages, but what Fun it will be to have Mary Magdalene whispering Advice into one Ear and Ganesh into the other! You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Overflowing with Grace, Aren’t You. Good Old Upper Limits! (Hendricks, The Big Leap)
I’m sitting here with a nasty Squall blowing cold rain or hail against the skylight, Grateful to be Warm and Dry, when the notion of Homelessness shakes me to the core for a moment. Then I Realize, Been There Done That, Don’t Have to Do It Again! followed by But What About All Those Poor Souls Out There Right Now! So I say a Prayer for them. Then I come back to Don’t Have to Do It Again! and that’s Exciting. Another Prayer for the Others, this time with (Better) “Feeling”!
The base of the green wedge to Chiron is the Sextile between the South Node and Orcus-Thereus, Thereus the Teacher who don’t take much flak, and Orcus the Ferocious Pattern-Breaker. I don’t mind them Helping work on my South Node at all!
The Pattern-Breaking Unxes are…
Chiron Unx Uranus-North Node, Breaking Patterns that would Impede Merger of my Soul with my Mission.
Chiron Unx Juno-Nessus, Expanding my Consciousness around Equality, Letting Go of any Karmic, Programmed, or Ancestral Support for the Patriarchy.
Chiron sits in 13 Aries, Liberation from our Mental Cage. Where do I sign?
4. Finally, with Vacancies in Air and Fire, the only Grand Trines (Unconditional Blessings) are in Water and Earth. Since the only T-Squares are in Air and Fire, so none of the three is Enhanced by a Grand Trine to its Focus. However, the Water and Earth Grand Trines connect the ends of all three of the basal Oppositions, helping make the three Complementary to one another. In addition, the two Magnetic/Feminine Grand Trines create a Grand Sextile (Fabulous Grace, though it requires the Initiative of the “User”). So while the Challenges are all to the Dynamic/Masculine Signs (which obviously need the Work the most), the Goddess lends her Max Grace to the pudding!
I neglected to draw in the blue lines representing the Grand Trine in Water, and I mislabeled Cancer, home to Ganesa, as Leo. Please make those corrections for me on your copy of the chart.
Quite an Eclipse! I woke up not knowing who or where I was. My Body remembers its Habits, like eating and typing, but my Mind is still kind of wondering who to Be and what to Do. At the perfect moment, a great post today from Dr. Joe Dispenza…
“As I tell my students, again and again, we can’t create from a place of survival. If we’re operating from our first three energy centers, if we’re trying to meet our most basic needs, if we’re worried about food, shelter, or safety, if we’re constantly reacting in anger and frustration, then it’s not the time to create. We first need to be centered. We need to be operating from a place of order…
” I start from there – from balance. And then, beginning from that point of homeostasis, I ask myself these fundamental questions: ‘What is my next greatest potential to experience in life? What is the next unknown that would evolve my perception of myself, the way I see the world, and my future?’ Over the decades I’ve been developing and practicing this work, I’ve always approached it with this thought: ‘My life is the great experiment. And I am the scientist.’
“Many years ago, when I had my first clinic in the Pacific Northwest, I used to develop patient X-rays myself. I’d enter the darkroom – and, in the 10 or so minutes it took to process the X-rays, in that place void of any light, I’d work on connecting with the unknown. As the image revealed itself on film after it exited the processor, I’d practice becoming no body; no one; no thing; no where; in no time.
“My premise was this: If I’m truly investing my attention and energy into the unknown, if I really believe in it, really put my attention on it, and I do it with clear intention, then I’ll see the evidence of that effort – in the form of interesting, evolving experiences in my life. And over time, as I practiced, I became more and more adept. As I went deeper into the experiment, those experiences would accumulate. Eventually, I had enough evidence in my life that I was able to detach from any attempt to direct or control the outcome.
“Where We Place Our Attention Is Where We Place Our Energy. And so, each time I entered the darkroom – or, once I began traveling frequently, any time I was on a runway; sometimes four times in a day – I did so with the same intention: I’m letting go of any expectation of what my next experience will be. I’m just going to trust that it will be. I would simply make it be about my effort – not the outcome. I’d tell myself, ‘Since the present moment is where the unknown exists, and since where I place my attention is where I place my energy, the effort of staying truly present in the unknown should be what brings the novel event to me.‘
“I thought of it like investing in a bank account. Except what I was investing in was the unknown. I approached it, each time, with a calm sense of knowing. Not the energy of trying; not the energy of hoping. I just knew that if I kept tuning in; kept connecting; kept being open and curious … sooner or later, something unusual would happen in my life. I’d pause and think: if my thoughts truly create my life, if I truly am a creator, if I just keep investing in the unknown, then my body will follow my mind to this unknown experience.
“Cultivating Curiosity. Often, when people approach me about my practice, it’s because they’re feeling stuck. They’re hung up on wanting an outcome – and their attachment to the thing they seek is exactly what’s preventing them from experiencing it in their lives. They’re preoccupied with wanting. And wanting implies separation. But in the unknown, there’s no separation. That’s because there’s no thing in nothing to be separate from.
And so, each time I connect – each time I become no body, no one, no thing, no where, in no time – I’m not wanting for anything. There’s no want involved; this is purely about curiosity. I am the scientist. And my life is the great experiment. And I’m interested in seeing if I can evolve my truth to some degree. What we’re talking about, essentially, is the delicate balance between intention and surrender – which I’ll talk more about in Part II.”
The Big News is that our Chief Asteroid Officer has discovered that there’s an asteroid Ganesa, whom we know as Ganesha or Ganesh. the Remover of Obstaclesand God of Wisdom, Purity, Innocence, Valor, New Beginnings, and Luck, in many Religions …
And it turns out that asteroid Ganesa was Stationary during the Totality of the Eclipse, 3:23 am PST 8 November 2022 (11:23 am GMT, 9:23 pm AEST Qld.), in 13 Cancer, which fills the Vacancy in what would have been the only T-Square in the Eclipse chart, making it a Grand Unx!As our CAO is fond of saying, You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!
An Unx is 1/12th of anything, the Twelfth Harmonic (Pattern-Breaking) and an Unx Angle sits between two planets that are within a few Degrees of being one Sign apart. In a Grand Unx, twelve planets are spaced more or less equally around the entire Zodiac. That gives us…
12 Unxes, or Opportunities to Break Patterns More Easily because the Universe helps! So any Karma you have between planets in adjacent Signs is Ripe for Harvesting. For instance, are you happy with the way your Manifestation Skills are Working? If not, then the first question to ask, is whether What You Want is Respectful to All Beings (Makemake Conjunct Hopi OOB). Past this hurdle? Then, any Interference from your Held Emotions (Makemake Unx South Node)? Aha, that’s an Unx, so we may be able to just PIAVA it – I Wonder What It Will Be Like When My Held Emotions Don’t Inhibit My Manifestation.
Considering Dr. Joe’s comments above, I’m using what for me is a New PIAVA – After several Deepening Breaths through my Nose with my Mouth Closed, I Fill Up my Torso from the bottom to the top, right up into my Brainstem, till I Experience Joy (pausing for a minute if hyperventilation makes me dizzy, then resuming). Then I put a Miniature Diorama of What I Want (here, Pure Manifestation without Karmic Interference) into a Helium Balloon, and Let It Rise into the Heavens.
12 Fully Self-Resolving T-Squares (red triangles), or SuperPowers, one for each planet or group thereof. For example, if we’re Willing to Claim it, the Merger of Our Soul and Our Lifetime Mission is Brightly Illuminated (the Ecliplse on Uranus Conjunct North Node). That’s Heady! Upper Limits! I need a little Chocolate before I Close my Eyes and Feel what that’s Like! (I haven’t had my Daily Ration yet.) Subtle, very “Ordinary” yet not at all, Easy to Lose the Thread! I’ll put in a Balloon the Intention to Remember this Feeling at least twice a day henceforth, and Let It Go.
6 Yin Gate Mystery Schools, one for each Opposition, signifying “Debates” that are much Deeper than the Logical Mind can Grasp. For instance, Karma Opposite Moira-Altjira. I’ve been Thinking that our Karma is pretty similar to our Fate (Moira), but I Guess I need to Open the Question Up to my Intuition instead of just Thinking. And what does Altjira (The Field from which Life Evolved ) have to do with it?
The influence of a Full Moon lasts only about two weeks, so this is Temporary, Right? Yes, but All There Is Is Now, so it’s Permanent too, as every Moment Teaches us a different Truth about the Ever-present Nowness. There’s something Unknown that I need to Grok about how Fate and Karma interact with the Evolution of Life. A Question for another Diorama Balloon.
4 Grand Trines (Consummate Grace, blue equilateral triangles), one for each Element – Earth, Air, Fire, Water. One example: Hybris Trine Karma Trine Chiron-Nemesis Trine Hybris, each Trine implying Effortless Cooperation between the Qualities. Hmmm, till I Break Though it, Chiron-Nemesis can be Despair about Guilt. Been there before, fortunately not for a while. The way to Break Karma is to Break our Ego-Attachment to it (Hybris), our Identification with it. So Grace between Hybris (Hubris) and Karma is certainly Welcome. Sounds like the next fortnight will be a good time to Jettison some serious Ancient Karmic Guilt.
Where in The Great Work of Our Time (Climate Disaster) do I have Guilt? I do often feel like I should be contributing more on the Global Level, and if I’d won the Big Lottery, that’s where I’d put most of it. Do we have Lifetimes where we Collaborated with the Colonizers, or Died failing to Stop them? The Colonizers have contributed the gasping Lion’s share of the Warming gases, and still do. Another Balloon. Can’t do Colonizers choking on their own Emissions (see Hopi-Makemake above – besides, it’s a Fire or Spiritual Grand Trine), so my Diorama will have to feature Indigenous People Breathing Free and Leading the Way instead.
3 Grand Crosses, one for each Modality – Creative, Stable, Changing. A Grand Cross (a red square with a red X across the diagonals) is another type of SuperPower, where we’re Skilled at Resolving the Recurring Hassles thrown out by very Complex Problems, with lots of internal and external Interactions. What about the Evolutionary Grand Cross – Moira-Altjira Square Ceres-Thereus-Kassandra-Orcus-Sisyphus Square Karma Square Nessus Square Moira-Altjira. It’s gonna be a lot of Work just straightening out Ceres et al before we even start on the Grand Cross!
I think it might be about Breaking the Perpetuity of Ongoing Effort to Get Past our Denial and Be Relentless about making our Karma-Breaking Sustainable (Sisyphus-Kassandra-Thereus-Orcus-Ceres), and Doing it Equitably and Collaboratively (Nessus). Though we Admit that we don’t Understand it, we’ve already Let Fly a Balloon about how Fate and Karma interact with the Evolution of Life. So maybe I’m already demonstarting this SuperPower through this Blog, where I’m intending to help Coach us all on Leaving Behind a very Messy Self-Destructive 3D “Reality” and replace it with something more 5Dish.
2 Grand Sextiles (blue hexagrams), one for each type of Power, Magnetic or Dynamic. In a Grand Sextile, All Six Energies Complement one another almost Effortlessly. The one caveat is that it doesn’t start until we kickstart the process. Dynamic Power is the one the Colonizers use – can we throw our wooden shoes into it? It’s Chiron-Nemesis Sextile Moira-Altjira Sextile Hybris Sextile Hopi-Makemake Sextile Karma Sextile Saturn-Arachne Sextile Chiron-Nemesis.
Where to start? We don’t want to be Destructive and Competitive, that would put us in their shoes. Can we do something to Slow them Down? The Opposition has been trying to Guilt-Trip them for Decades to no Avail – their Hubris is too great. Their Karma is Destroying their Golden Goose, but they know it, they don’t give a shit, and they’re trying to get as much as they can shoveled into their yacht before The Light Behind the Sun Takes All. Modern-Day Colonialists. We may just have to let them finish the job of Destroying themselves.
So, what about the Magnetic Power, can we start something there? Many smart folks have been saying that we needed to Ignore the Old Dying Institutions, and just start our own, so they’ll be ready to step into the Vacuum when the time comes. The Magnetic side goes Ganesha Sextile Ceres-Thereus-Kassandra-Orcus-Sisyphus Sextile Venus-Sun-Mercury-South Node Sextile Atropos-Icarus-Hylonome Sextile Nessus Sextile North Node-Eclipse Moon-Uranus Sextile Ganesha.
Where might we stir up Trouble in that Loop? Atropos (Deceased Karma) is always a good place to start, because when Karma Dies, the Old Habits remain, because even if we don’t like them, they’re What We Expect, and they’re Comfortable like an old pair of Shoes. So we could check our natal chart for any planets in the middle of Capricorn that might have Old Karma Attached to them.
For instance, I have asteroid Karma, Nemesis, and Pholus there – fresh meat! Pholus usually points to some place where we aren’t “Owning” everything we need to Own. Gay Hendricks tells us that when we don’t Own All of What’s Ours, we remain a Slave to Time rather than shifting to Yintegrity. So it looks like it’s incriminating Karmic Guilt again (asteroid Karma and Nemesis). We met the before, when we were Working with the Grand Trines.
Okay, so I don’t really Feel like I have Permission to be Here, or certainly not to Be Myself except in very closely guarded quarters, like this carefully constructed blog where no one can even leave a Comment without my permission. I’ve always Blamed that on early situations between my Parents, but when I attempt to Own that now, of course that’s my Karma.
Virtually All of the Difficulty we Encounter as Kids is Karmic. The Universe doesn’t just Dump it on us cuz we’re Vulnerable. Except for our Resistance to it, the Universe is actually Benevolent and Generous. So, not wanting to Analyze or Attach more Energy to it, I’ll make a Diorama of a Child whose Real Self is Welcomed into their Birth Family, put it in a Helium Balloon (the Child has a Helium-Breathing Mutation), and Set It Free. That should be enough of a First Action for me to do my part in Energizing the Magnetic Grand Sextile. Wish me Ganesha’s Blessing of Good Luck!
1 Grand Unx contains all of the above within it, so it’s pretty Monumental. The overall interpretation is that Everything Works Together. It’s kind of a Do-It-All Configuration. If we’re getting close to a Grand Unx, there’s No Shame in seeking out unknown asteroids to complete it. If the new ‘roid has some Connection to the theme we Work with (Ganesha is certainly totally Relevant to any Ascension theme), all the better. If it seems remote, that’s cool too, because it can point to what sort of Energy we need to Consciously add to the mix in order to complete the recipe and make Everything Work Together. We can also use Degree Readings for that Purpose.
Lets add a Helper Stone to this Endeavor. The Guilt examples have been my own, but the Chiron-Nemesis is there in the Eclipse-Ganesa Station chart, Prominently, for All of Us. If you have any natal planets in the middle third of Aries (I have several, including Nemesis itself), it’ll be ringing your doorbell too.
According to the book I most Trust for interpreting Crystals and Minerals (because my Personal Experience has always Validates it), Collen Marquist and Jack Frasl’s Crystalline Communion 2000, p.58, “Emerald stimulates courage to embody Light as a beacon rather than bleed from the heart endlessly for the trials and needs of others. Emerald empowers the knowledge of when to walk away and when to stay and teach others through example or resonance. Emerald improves all physical heart functions, as well as emotional functions of love and kindness to others. It calms the heart and relieves guilt.”
Sounds like it will be useful for the Hylonome Angles as well. Emerald, especially when paired with Gold, Facilitates Ego Death, so it can be Unsettling to wear the two together for long periods. Too much Ego Death can become a Setback in our Evolution, unless it’s Supported by the “Stars” (ie, when we don’t have other Options!), as it has been lately…
Emerald is a “Beryl,” or Beryllium Aluminum Cyclosilicate, or Ring Silicate. Beryllium carries Serpent or Kundalini Energy, so all of the Beryls are Healing Stones. Beryllium itself is highly Toxic. Among the Transparent Beryls, green ones are named Emerald, bluish ones Aquamarine, clear Goshenite, pink Morganite, yellow and line green Heliodor, and red and golden ones just Red Beryl and Golden Beryl. Opaque Beryls, no less Brave as Healers, are called Common Beryl. I’ll add my favorite Crystal and Rock books the the Bibliography soon.
