Even Busier Days Coming Up

Forgot to mention that the Moon went Out of Bounds over the Northern Hemisphere today 13 July 2023 at UT 13:25 (PDT 6:25 am, BST 2:25 pm, IST 6:55 pm, AEST 11:25 pm).

Cyllarus-Mercury 12 July

And we didn’t mention yesterday that Cyllarus Initiated Mercury, which would have increased our Awareness of Death. Sure ’nuff, the Conversation was about Death where I was, but I was with Other-Side-Deniers and I didn’t feel like wasting my Energy talking about Ego Death to Closed Ears. That was 12 July UT 19:04 (PDT 12:04 pm 12th, BST 8:04 pm 12th, IST 12:34 am 13th, AEST 5:04 am 13th), in 4 Leo (after writing that, I read this for the first time….),

“The resistance [to Ego Death] is thick, persistent, and backed up by the world around us in every way… everything depends on taking a path into the shadows that no ego mind wants, and that nobody in this vicinity knows the uses of deeply enough… A Deep Earth path that reclaims what civilization has paved over. An ardent quest into infinities that hold the keys to Earth’s evolution” (Lonsdale, p.161).

And whaddayaknow, that happens to be my Mean North Node. As our CAO says, You Can’t Make This Stuff Up. The Chandra Symbol for 5 Leo (Lonsdale, p.161-2) is even more interesting!

Station of Karma 16 July

Before we dive into 14 July, we need to mention that the 16 July Station of asteroid Karma will be Lit Up already for us. That’s 16 July UT 0:16 (PDT 5:16 pm 15th, BST 1:16 am 16th, IST 5:46 am 16th, AEST 10:16 am 16th), in 15 Pisces, Giving It All Away and Receiving More, Home of the Fixed Star Ankaa, Transformation, or Trance Reformation, aka Ego Death, since the Ego is just a Trance.

The dates and times we give are the date and time that the astroevent is Exact; the Influence upon us Earthlings often stretches from a week prior to a day or so afterwards. So our 14 July astroevents, and even the Cyllarus-Mercury Initiation we just mentioned, will all be Painted with that Karmic Brush. This Station is also likely to re-Trigger our early May Gonggong-Saturn Initiation in 6 Pisces because asteroid Karma – and Magdalena – were Aiding and Abetting that Process. We’ll look at the Karma Station chart later.

Hylonome-Pinocchio 14 July

I expect tomorrow’s 14 July Initiation of Pinocchio by Hylonome to be Amusing, if we’re able to get a good Laugh about our own Karmic Codependence, as ‘Nocchio pokes ‘is long nose into the ways we Give Away Our Power. That one’s UT 14:43 (PDT 7:43 am 14th, BST 3:43 pm 14th, IST 8:23 pm 14th, AEST 12:43 am 15th), in 24 Capricorn (“by coincidence” echoing 4 Leo – and providing more clues for our 6 Pisces Adventures…),

When Energy from the Stars Resonates with Energy from the Earth, a Relentless Process kicks in that has no regard for Collateral Damage but is “vitally needed in the world.” It’s so Massive that it’s hard to talk about. “The whole world is going through radical changes, and somebody has to be there to witness, behold, and draw the lessons and meanings into a common currency… There is a sense that this has happened before and no one ever responded appropriately… You just have to… surrender your pictures and view everything afresh” (Lonsdale pp 332-3.

Like Al Stewart’s Year of the Cat Fantasy, we can’t help but “Follow till our sense of which Dimension completely Disappears…”

Varuna-Mercury 14 July

More clues about our Health Mysteries, as Varuna (The Life Force) Initiates Mercury (Awareness) 14 July UT 17:01 (PDT 10:01 am 14th, BST 6:01 pm 14th, IST 10:31 pm 14th, AEST 3:01 am 15th), in 7 Leo, Ready for Enlightenment.

I still Believe Intuitively, from Shaman Lifetimes, in Instantaneous Healing, and while I can’t yet report Fabulous Miracles like the ones Dr. Nelson reports in his book, and haven’t even finished the book yet, it feels like I’m making good progress with his techniques. To make that work, I know that we have to Drop our Beliefs that the Physical is somehow Separate and anything but a Different Perspective on Unitary and Multifarious Reality, like the Energetic, Spiritual, Mental, and Emotional Points of View.

How many times have we been Reminded that the Physical World is almost all Empty Space, yet we Persist in Believing that Matter is Fundamental. Breaking out of that Dysfunction Requires an Ego Death, for sure, and “no ego mind wants” that. As the Industry Programmed us in the 1950s, it’s Better Living through Chemistry, but it’s Far Better Living Through the Miracles we can Facilitate or Co-Create through the Invisibles. But then, we All have to “surrender our pictures and view everything afresh” to get through the Portal to 5D.

The Karma Station Chart

…Is weird. There are no Major Challenges (T-Squares), but there are three Naked Angles, two Naked Squares, one Naked Opposition, and plenty of Mergers. We normally use 3 Degrees of Sensitivity or Orb, but I Stretch that a bit when an Important or Out of Bounds planet sits just beyond that. For instance, the Karma Station is still 3 Degrees from Magdalena (Mary Magdalene), and it’s 4 Degrees from Nessus (Abuse and Privilege). If we’re talking about Karma and the Demise of the Patriarchy, Abuse and Privilege is a central issue.

The Karma-Magdalena-Nessus Stellium sounds like Good News if we can Disattach our Ego from the Karma that needs to be Purged, by perhaps Asking Mary Magdalene to Intervene in our Behalf. That Stellium Opposes the Sisyphus-Thereus-Orcus Stellium.

The Orcus-Thereus, Orcus-Sisyphus, and Thereus-Sisyphus Can-Openers occurred in late 2022 (respectively 21 October in 15Vir, 21 November in 16Vir, and 27 November in 18Vir), and the Expositions occurred in early 2023 (8 March in 15Vir, 7 February in 15Vir, and 2 February 17Vir) while both the Orcus-Sisyphus and Thereus-Sisyphus Confidence-Builders occurred on 20 July 2023 in 14Vir, and…

The Thereus-Orcus Confidence-Builder occurs in a few days on 18 July 2023 in 14Vir. That is a Ridiculous amount of Detail, but if we have Journal entries for any of those dates, and natal planets in Mid-Virgo, these dates and events will provide a Fabulous amount of Information on the Major Karmic Issues that we’ve been facing, and perhaps still are. Orcus Expects us to Punish Ourselves for our Failures (till we Learn that it’s about Breaking that Pattern), Thereus is a Ferocious Task-Master (till we Learn that he’s Relentless and Fair, not Mean), and Sisyphus tends toward the Frustration of Believing that we may never Get Out of Going through All These Things Twice – or a thousand times.

In general, IF we’re in Resistance to the Ego Death proposed by the Cosmos at the Can-Opener, and IF we make Decisions to Protect our Ego, and IF we Reinforce those Decisions at the Exposition and Confidence-Builder, we’re adding Grout to the Wall between us and 5D instead of Reducing our Karmic Load.

It’s hard for anybody not to Freak Out at least a bit at any Can-Opener, but we can go into Observation Mode at the Exposition, Revert any Decisions based on our Observation that we’re Learning New Perspectives and New Skills around Adapting to what originally Freaked us, and Celebrate our Newfound Competence at the Confidence-Builder.

The Opposition between the two Stelliums Confuses us because we’ve been Programmed by our 2D Mind to Believe we have to Choose between the two. Between the two what? With two Stelliums, that’s a very Tricky question. Between Surrendering to our Real Frustration about the Persistence of our Karma and the Fantasy that Mary Magdalene can take it to the Compose Pile for us?

Between Fearing that our Abuse Karma is Permanent and Feeling that Letting Go Of it is too Onerous? That’s what’s so Misleading about the Opposition – or any other 2nd-Harmonic Energy like a Tradition that Defines Right from Wrong – Reality is Both/And, not Either/Or. Or we can Poor-Sweetheart ourself – You Poor Sweetheart, you Feel Confused, don’t you.

(Mary was Paul’s Birth Mother, who died when he was 14)

The two Naked Squares are Complex as well. The one in the Creative Signs is between Kassandra (Disbelief), Hopi (Respect for All Things), and Isis (Ego Death of Judgment) in Libra versus Atlantis (Fear of Self-Destructive Technology) and Juno (Growth in Consciousness) in Cancer. It may symbolize the Complex Relationship between the Creative Opportunities (if you came from the right planet) and Social Dangers of Digital Technology, and the Competitive Greed of Gates and Zuckerberg and Brin and Page. We usually interpret Kassandra as Healing Our Disbelief.

The Naked Square in the Stabilizing Signs is between Jupiter (Expansion), Atropos (Expired Karma), and Albion (the Lead Character in a Complex William Blake Mythology) in Taurus versus Chariklo (Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt) in Aquarius. Albion (an ancient name for Britain) was an Adam-like character who founded Britain and was killed by Herakles as part of his Hit-Man-for-Zeus duties. He seems to be involved somehow in what’s going on, as the dwarf planet (the first Plutoid discovered beyond Pluto) keeps coming up, but I know nothing of Blake.

Then It Gets Really Busy

On 17 and 18 July there are 10 Initiations, 2 Stations, 2 Expositions that we’ve listed including the 40-year Thereus-Orcus Cycle, and a Fully Self-Resolving Out-of-Bounds New Moon. That’ll be Fun.

Mary Magdalene’s Day and More Can-Openers and Expositions

I’ll postpone writing about the Narcissus Station a bit, as I just realized that today is the 5th of July 2023, which is when Mary Magdalene’s asteroid Magdalena Stands Still in the Sky. She even chose the Supremely Lucky time UT 7:11 to do Her Pirouette (PDT 12:11 am, BST 8:11 am, IST 12:41 pm, AEST 5:11 pm). Baby Needs a New Pair of Waders.

She brings with Her an army of Spiritual Masters and Their Entourage. In addition to our usual crew, Minerva, Isis, Diana, Psyche, Kronos, Bacchus, Achilles, and even Hades are all within our usual 3-Degree Sensitivity, and if we stretch to 4 Degrees? Persephone, Varuna OOB, Saturn, Ganesa, Pholus, Juno, Veritas, Quaoar, Requiem OOB, Zhulong, and Makemake are all Queued Up to Join the Party at Halftime. Alls we need is Quinn the Eskimo…

There really is an asteroid named Quinn.

Magdalena’s Station occurs in 12 Pisces, In a Trance Identifying with the Past, and Needing to Face Down the Traumas and Allow Rebirth. Within our 3-Degree Span, the chart of the Station includes one Non-Self-Resolving Challenge in the Creative Signs, one Naked Square in the Stabilizing Signs, and one Naked Opposition in the Changing Signs. Magdalena is Merged with asteroid Karma, and we’ll talk more about that in a minute.

The Opposition (Confusion, as we Hupers so easily Confuse Mental-Fiction Either/Ors with Both/And All/Unlimited Reality) is between Magdalena-Karma (Grace) and the Heavy Gang of Sisyphus OOB (Enjoying the Journey), Samadhi (Enlightenment through Discipline), Isis (Resurrection), Orcus (Pattern-Breaking), and Thereus (Tough Love).

The Naked Square sits between Atropos-Jupiter (Expanding the Banishment of Expired Karma) and Moon-Chariklo (Our Inner Female in Full Self-Confidence) – this is about Standing Up against Chronic Patriarchal Abuse that’s Ingrained in the Culture. Privilege is largely based on the Acceptance of a Feeling of Inferiority. While Perp Violence can be an Enforcer, more often it’s Victim Acquiescence. Frequently, just Standing Up with Full Self-Confidence is all that’s required to put the Fear of the Goddess into a Perp and send them off looking for easier Prey.

The Tension of the Non-Self-Resolving Challenge is Felt through Recognition of Unconscious Huper Abuse of Nature (Sun-Pan OOB-Moira – plus the asteroid Quinn!). The Tension is Created by the Paradox between Our Commitment to Enlightenment (Salacia) and Our Disbelief around the Transmutation of Our Respect for All Things (Kassandra-Ka’epaoka’awela-Hopi OOB). We’ve been assiduously Programmed to Believe that We Can’t Change the Dominant Paradigm and We’re Condemned to Be Its Victim. The previous paragraph Informs us how we can start to Flush this Programming.

Magdalena is an Important Source of Grace in Her Own Right. But right now She has Taken On an Added Importance by being part of the 4 May Gonggong-Saturn 6-Pisces Initiation. Of course the Key to Letting Go of our Held (most difficult and hidden) Emotions lies with Pisces, that’s what Pisces does “for a living,” it Jettisons Excess Emotional Baggage. The Timeline to Complete that Initiation and all of its arms and legs and tentacles looks like this…

• 4 May 2023 – Gonggong Initiates Saturn in 6 Pisces (Can-Opener); All Inititations are also Can-Openers, which usually Reveal a Knot of Held or Trapped Emotion to our Consciousness, which we Experience as an Attack on our Ego. Gonggong-Saturn is about The Most Important Thing Is Our Intrusive Memories, ie, Hints about Our Held Emotions. 6 Pisces is about Valuable Irreplaceable Karmic Frequencies that don’t fit the Current Lifetime, which is Adjacent to the Royal Star Formalhaut, Commitment to Follow Our Own Inner Path No Matter What, with the Universe Providing Grace and Miracles Proportional to Our Commitment.
• It’s Important to Remember During Any Can-Opener – During Any Initiation – that its Spiritual Purpose is to Reveal Held Emotions to our Consciousness, which Enables us to Let Them Go, which in turn Is Essential to our Enlightenment. Rather than Reacting in Resistance to Our Unpleasant Feelings and Experiences, We Want to Poor-Sweetheart Ourself for Our Challenge, then Recognize that It’s Our Resistance that We Need to Let Go Of, then Set About Lovingly and Gently Embracing Our Resistance. Since It Will Be Critical to Distinguish Our Emotions from Our Thoughts, which can be Impossibly Difficult, It Will Be Useful to Explore and Embrace the Physical Sensations that Accompany Our Emotion rather than the Thoughts that We Habitually Associate with the Emotion.
• 14 May – Gonggong Initiates Magdalena in 6 Pisces (Can-Opener); Gonggong-Magdalena is about Surrendering Our Intrusive Memories and the Held Emotions they Reveal to a Power Larger than Ourself.
• 18 May – Saturn Initiates Magdalena in 7 Pisces (Can-Opener); Saturn-Magdalena means that The Most Important Thing Is to Surrender Our Burdens to a Higher Power. 7 Pisces is the Home of the Royal Star Formalhaut, meaning Commitment to Follow Our Own Inner Path No Matter What, with the Universe Providing Grace and Miracles Proportional to Our Commitment.
• 22 May – Gonggong Initiates asteroid Karma in 6 Pisces (Can-Opener); Gonggong-Karma is about Getting Specific about which Karmic Patterns Are Revealed by Our Intrusive Memories.
• 26 May – Saturn Initiates Karma in 7 Pisces (Can-Opener); Saturn-Karma is about Realizing that the Most Important Thing for Our Enlightenment Is to Let Go Of Our Karma – see the second bullet point above.
• 29 May – Damocles (Accountability) Stationary in 4 Pisces; Damocles is about Transforming Fear of Accountability and the Resulting Tendency to Deny It, into Full Ownership of Our Accountability. 4 Pisces is about Massive Confusion, Running in All Directions, Getting Nowhere, Overwhelmed. The Need to Expand into This New Force Field, to Surrender into It, as it’s the Multidimensionality We’re Only Just Now Starting to Witness.
• In Gay Hendricks’s “Genius Universe,” it’s Full Accountability that Allows us to Master Time and Get Out from Under Its Thumb. Starting in April 2025, Gonggong and Saturn Will Initiate Damocles, so Any Karmic-Elimination Work We Do This Year Will Save Us a Lot of Drauma in 2025 and Beyond.
• 1 Jun – Gonggong Stationary Retrograde in 6 Pisces
• 8 Jun – Magdalena Initiates Karma in 10 Pisces (Can-Opener); Magdalena-Karma is about Surrendering Our Self-Sabotaging Habits to a Higher Power Once We’ve Become Conscious of Them. It’s Worth a Try to Surrender them Before We’re Conscious of Them, but Consciousness of Them Will Help Us Use Them as the SuperPowers that They Really Are, Once We Begin to Use them with Discrimination rather than Habitually. 10 Pisces is about “Earth Herself saying Enough! Those who are chosen to heed the signs, to feel the portents, are swept away by the tide of change and engulfed in the eddies of what always stays the same.” “A solitary vigil of one appointed to go out on that edge and stay there.” “Inside the inside of this frequency, a far subtler resonance is alive, … a tone that is always sacred and revelatory. When this layer is tapped, all of the fireworks disperse, [leaving only] the grace of Divine Mother’s intervening power playing through in wondrous ways” (Lonsdale p.381).
• 17 Jun – Saturn Stationary Retrograde in 8 Pisces; 8 Pisces is about “We clear the way by honoring the past, by processing the trauma, the wound… inside, we keep sensing what Earth is going through and what it means… Nothing belongs to us. We are a sense organ, an extension of Earth’s inner experience. We are everywoman, and we are nobody. We are the stirrings of Earth, the search for a new species” (Lonsdale p.379)
• 5 Jul – Magdalena Stationary Retrograde in 12 Pisces; 12 Pisces is about In a Trance Identifying with the Past, and Needing to Face Down the Traumas and Allow Rebirth.
• 16 Jul – Karma Stationary Retrograde in 15 Pisces; 15 Pisces is about Giving It All Away and Receiving More.
• 6 Aug – Saturn Conjoins Gonggong in 6 Pisces (Exposition); Most astroevents occur in threes. The first version of an Initiation is a Can-Opener. When the faster planet turns about and comes back and Conjoins the slower planet again, it’s as if in slow motion, and it’s then much Easier to Understand what the Can-Opener was trying to Teach Us. If We’re Paying Attention, it Exposes what the Can-Opener was All About, so we call these secondary Conjunctions Expositions.
• 27 Aug – Magdalena Conjoins Gonggong in 6 Pisces (Exposition).
• 9 Sep – Magdalena Conjoins Saturn in 3 Pisces (Exposition); 3 Pisces is about a Bland Exterior Hiding an Extraordinarily Deep Inner Spiritual Awareness.
• 10 Sep – Karma Conjoins Gonggong in 5 Pisces (Exposition); 5 Pisces, the Home of Fixed Star Sadalmelek, is about a Deep Deep Mystical Awareness Sheltered from Ego by Lack of a Need for Certainty.
• 29 Sep – Karma Conjoins Saturn in 2 Pisces (Exposition); 2 Pisces is about Turning into a Werewolf, a Wild Creature of Pure Instinct; it’s Avoidable, but the Urge is Sometimes Irresistable. If we prefer not to Indulge Physical Shapeshifting, we can interpret this as a Classic Struggle between our Instincts and our Programming.
• 16 Oct – Karma Stationary Direct in 1 Pisces; 1 Pisces is about Unity – In Mental/Mechanical Worlds It Drains Our Life Force. But if We Can Find the Spark Again, Our Destination Is Unknown.
• 21 Oct – Magdalena Stationary Direct in 29 Aquarius, which is about Being Totally Immersed in the Inner World.
• Note: There is no Karma-Magdalena Exposition Conjunction because Karma does not back up far enough to cross Magdalena a second time.
• 22 Oct – Karma Conjoins Saturn in 1 Pisces (Confidence-Builder); After the faster planet turns Direct again, it Speeds Forward and Conjoins the slower planet a third time. If We’ve Been Paying Attention, by Now We’ve Mastered the Energy of the Planetary Combination, and we Sail through the Third Occurrence Easily, so We Call this Third Occurrence the Confidence-Builder.
• 4 Nov – Saturn Stationary Direct in 1 Pisces
• 19 Nov – Karma Conjoins Gonggong in 5 Pisces (Confidence-Builder)
• 20 Nov – Magdalena Conjoins Saturn in 1 Pisces (Confidence-Builder)
• 22 Nov – Gonggong Stationary Direct in 5 Pisces
• 10 Dec – Magdalena Conjoins Gonggong in 5 Pisces (Confidence-Builder)
• 17 Jan 2024 – Saturn Conjoins Gonggong in 5 Pisces (Confidence-Builder)
• 14 Apr 2025 – Gonggong Initiates Damocles in 7 Pisces (Can-Opener). If We’ve Been Following this Curriculum with any Degree of Attention, by Now We’ll Be Skilled with the SuperPowers of Tracing Gonggong’s Intrusive Memories Back to Held or Trapped Emotions, Teasing those Emotions Out of the Unconscios, Empathizing with Our Historical Victim of the Causes of the Traumas, Distinguishing the Emotions from Our Thoughts about them, and Clearing the Negative Karma Associated with Them. This Is a Can-Opener, so We’ll Probably Be Caught Off Guard the First Few Times the Universe Requires Us to Be Accountable. But Once We Get Grounded, We’ll Realize that We Have the Skills Already.

More Good News

Our Chief Asteroid Officer has noticed a Grand Sextile (six planets ~evenly spaced ’round the Zodiac) developing early in the Magnetic Signs. We checked it out, and using only our current Ascension Pallet of planets and stretching the Sensitivity (“Orb” in Astrologuese) only a little, we found a Grand Unx! (That’s Twelve planets ~evenly spaced ’round the Circle.).

Six planets symbolize Partnership – Ease, once we Take the First Step. Twelve planets symbolize Pattern-Breaking, which is certainly What We Been Doin’, as all the rest of our Karma Bubbles Up from the Underwhere so we can, perversely, Enjoy Torturing Ourself One Last Time before we Remember, Oh Shit, I was Supposed to Let This Go, Wasn’t I !! What a Relief! Begone! Or, as Natha and Hector put it in their wonderful dialog in Natha’s Delightful New Post, “Get away with ye!“

The Core of the Grand Unx (“Unx” just means one twelfth of something, like the Unx measuring spoon in your spice cabinet) is 5-12 Degrees of each Sign, a span of seven Degrees. When we use our usual three Degrees of Sensitivity, it’s three on either side, six total, so Allowing seven is hardly a stretch at all. We’ve included planets at 4 Degrees when they’re Adjacent to planets already in the Grand Unx.

Between any pair of Adjacent planets in a Grand Unx, is the Gift of Being Able to More Easily Let Go of any Karma that Limits our Self-Fulfilling and Mission-Fulfilling use of the Combined Energy of the planets – we’ll include a couple of Examples below. Here’s the Menu…

• Aries (Intuitive Creativity):
  • Salacia OOB (Commitment to Ascension, Exaggerated) in 10 Aries, Bound by Ancient Vows to Take a Stand Here, to Work Seriously on Myself to Eliminate Selling My Soul for Approval and Appreciation, Tapping a Wisdom Older than the World. “Have Courage, Walk Courage, Stay On with What Is in Myself”, Lonsdale pp.44-45.
  • Amazing reading for Salacia, another case of Degree reiterating planet, even though they’re Geometrically Independent, as though the book was written just for Now.
• Taurus (Creating HardCopy):
  • Atropos (Releasing Expired Karma) in 4 Taurus, A Dreamer about Lost Skills, Stuck in a Trance, Revertible by Inner Work and Deep Belief in the Power of the Soul, and
  • Jupiter (Expansion) in 7 Taurus, Moving through Egoic Fullness and Spiritual Surrender to a Third Way, Fully Invested in Our Heart’s Truth, Adjacent to the Fixed Star Hamal, Chaotic Karmic Drama Makes the Results of Moving Outward Fragmentary, while Moving Inward Creates a Fulfilling Enlightenment.
  • When Expired Karma packs up and leaves town, we Miss it, and go Looking for it, just because we know it as Normal. We need to be Conscious of what we’re Letting Go Of, and in fact, Let It Go – a major Boon of astrology.
• Gemini (Flexibility, Revision):
  • Mercury (Awareness, Communication) in 11 Gemini, Maintaining Clarity in Darkness, Home of the Royal Star Aldebaran, Integrity.
• Cancer (Compassion, Nurturance):
  • Pan OOB (the Primary Deva or God of Nature, Prominent) in 5 Cancer, Sucked into the Underwhere in Spite of Our Resistance, if Not Willingly then Compulsively, Fulfilling an Ancient Contract to Accept Truth and Let It All Go, and
  • Moira (Fate and Choice) in 7 Cancer, Surrendering to Our Heart’s Truth.
• Leo (Individualization):
  • Varuna OOB (The Life Force, Emphatically) in 7 Leo, Ready for Enlightenment, and
  • Venus (Our Values) in 11 Leo, A Debilitating Split between Living the Global Archetype of Allowing Approval to Control Us, Reacting with Despair, or Responding by Recognizing that Our Struggle is Universal, and Celebrating Our Gift to the Planet.
• Virgo (Ego Death):
  • Samadhi (Enlightenment) in 5 Virgo, The Edge between Fear and Ego Death, and
  • Thereus (Ferocious Persistence) in 12 Virgo, Hyperaware of Potential Sabotage and Working Hard to Prevent it. The Huge Shadow Cast by a Belief that Life Should Be a Certain Way. One Side of our Mind is Traumatized and the Other Side Exhausts Itself Trying to Rescue Ourself from the Trauma; Home to the Fixed Star Zosma, Victimhood.
  • An excellent Time to Remember that, being parked between the Peak of Individuality Leo and Meeting-Other Libra, the essence of Virgo is Ego Death. The more we Practice Recognizing the Signs of Natural Ego Death (like Feeling Lost in our own neighborhood, or Waking Up and Forgetting Who We Expect Ourself to “Be”), Appreciating It, and Consciously Creating Ego Death when we Understand that it’s Time to Move On from anything, the more we’ll Appreciate this MegaPortal we’re in, and the Happier we’ll be with Life on Earth.
• Libra (Meeting Other):
  • Kassandra (Disbelief) in 7 Libra, Front-Row Enthusiasm, and
  • Makemake (Manifestation) in 8 Libra, “If We draw to Ourself the Proof that Our Fears Are Justified, Our Doubts Confirmed, Our Negative Feelings Validated, Is that the End or Is It the Beginning?” Lonsdale p.225.
  • Do we Think that Seeing Is Believing, or that Believing Allows Seeing? If the former, what an Excellent Opportunity to Manifest an Ego Death. Same with the Belief that in order to Manifest, we must first Visualize the Mechanism that will Create the Reality. When we’re Manifesting anything New, How It Manifests will always be Surprising, if not a Miracle.
• Scorpio (Diving Deep, Fearlessness):
  • Zhulong (the Chinese Red Dragon of Enlightenment) in 8 Scorpio, A Holy Fool.
  • As is so Appropriate for Ascension, we have two different Enlightenment asteroids in this Grand Unx, Zhulong in Scorpio, and Samadhi in Virgo. Dragon is a Universal symbol for Karma, so Zhulong in Scorpio is about Fearlessly Clearing our Self-Sabotaging Habits, while Samadhi in Virgo is about Pursuing Enlightenment through Allowing Ego Death Wherever We’re Out Of Integrity.
• Sagittarius (Letting Go):
  • Requiem OOB (Profound Respect for Ego Death) in 12 Sagittarius, Recognizing that Discomfort Won’t Go Away, Adjacent to the Royal Star Aldebaran, Obsession, In the Flow, Attuned to the Signs.
• Capricorn (Just Do It):
  • Ixion OOB (Transcending Social Convention) in 4 Capricorn, Continuity with Past Lives.
  • Pholus-Quaoar (Global Climate Crisis, Responsiveness to Our Survival Instincts) in 8 Capricorn, The Union of Self-Destruction and Liberation, Adjacent to the Fixed Star Facies, Combativeness, Fire and Earth Energies United and Exposed.
• Aquarius (Social Issues):
  • Icarus OOB (Enthusiasm, Burnout) in 5 Aquarius, Mother Goddess Gaia in All of Her Myriad and Unitary Forms.
• Pisces (Unloading Obsolete Emotional Baggage, Serving Others):
  • Damocles (Accountability) in 4 Pisces, Massive Confusion, Running in All Directions, Getting Nowhere, Overwhelmed. The Need to Expand into This New Force Field, to Surrender into It, as it’s the Multidimensionality We’re Only Just Now Starting to Witness, Adjacent to Fixed Star Sadalelek, Deep Deep Mystical Awareness Sheltered from Ego by Lack of a Need for Certainty.
  • Gonggong (Intrusive Memories) in 6 Pisces, Valuable Irreplaceable Karmic Frequencies that don’t fit the Current Lifetime, Home of the Fixed Star Deneb Aldige, Mystical Creation of the World Egg. Adjacent to both Sadalmelek and the Royal Star Formalhaut, Commitment to Follow Your Own Inner Path No Matter What, with the Universe Providing Grace and Miracles Proportional to Your Commitment.
  • Saturn (The Most Important Thing) in 8 Pisces, “We clear the way by honoring the past, by processing the trauma, the wound… inside, we keep sensing what Earth is going through and what it means… Nothing belongs to us. We are a sense organ, an extension of Earth’s inner experience. We are everywoman, and we are nobody. We are the stirrings of Earth, the search for a new species.” Lonsdale p.379. Adjacent to Formalhaut.
  • Magdalena (Mary Magdalene) in 11 Pisces, Needing to Let Go of All We Have Ever Held to Be Part of Ourself, including the Nightmares, Ghosts, and Entanglements that have Grown Around Them, and Grow a New Self that Is True to Our Deeper Self.
  • Karma (Obsolete Compulsive Habits) in 12 Pisces, In a Trance Identifying with the Past, and Needing to Face Down the Traumas and Allow Rebirth.

Phew! My Brain is Fried after that! I need to Sleep, then tomorrow I’ll research How Long the Grand Unx will be with us, and work through a couple of Examples on how to use the Menu. I’ll sketch out the process, in case you want to get a head start.

Let’s say we’re Anxious about our Survival, as I was a few weeks ago when the US Congress was playing games with their end of the “Bargain” where I pay them mucho Taxes for sixty years, and then they decide I’m no longer “entitled” to receive the small Retirement check that was supposed to be their end of the “Agreement” (actually, it was never optional, so “Agreement” is a bit of a stretch). There are Millions of people on this Planet that are in Food and/or Housing Insecurity.

We’d start by finding a planet or Sign in the Menu that seemed relevant to Survival Anxiety. The one that pops out for me is Kassandra-Makemake in Libra, potentially Lack of Belief in our Continuing Ability to arrange Food and Shelter. The Unx Angles identify where Pattern-Breaking should be Easier right now. They connect the planets in Adjacent Signs. Kassandra-Makemake is Unx to Zhulong in Scorpio and to Samadhi and Thereus in Virgo.

Sounds like we’ve chosen well, as Survival Anxiety could well be a fulcrum that prevents Ascension, laced as it is with Negative Expectations. Survival Anxiety was a characteristic of my Childhood, so that provides possible Entry Points for an Examination of the Source of my Anxiety. I could get out my old Mahjong Set and Meditate Deeply on the Red Dragon tile to Approach Zhulong. I could also move to the Samadhi side and try Poor-Sweethearting my Anxious Inner Child, and PIAVA that Ganesh Remove All Obstacles to my Abundance (Abundance is Having Enough to Share according to an early teacher of mine). I could directly PIAVA an Ego Death that Eliminated my Survival Anxiety. Thereus is Tough enough to wrestle Bears for entertainment, but Enforced Fair Laws – I could Ask Him to give the US Congress a Stern Talking-To.

Any of these Unx Angles between Libra and Virgo, and between Libra and Scorpio, should be productive avenues to Take Advantage of Super-Powered Pattern-Breaking.

Santa’s Elf

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).

Equality FULL Moon

Sides…

• You’d think by now I can tell NEW Moons from FULL Moons. I think it’s about Attention! And if it’s an Intuition, as Errors often are, what does it Indicate? I just started thinking of a Full Moon as an Initiation of a process that would Culminate at the Third-Quarter Moon. Hmmm. I Wonder.
• The Moon is In Bounds till 3:13 am PDT (11:13 am BST in England and 8:13 pm AEST in Eastern Oz) 16 September 2022 in 8 Gemini, when it moves Out of Bounds (Hupersons tend to be more Excitable) over the Northern Hemisphere, till 3:40 am PST 21 September.
• Have we mentioned that asteroid Lachesis (Unexpired Karma that We Can Consciously Let Go Of ) returned In Bounds on 8 September? That may make it a little harder to Let Go of Active Karma, but Persistence is Recommended, because All Karma is Vulnerable since it Died with Linear Time in 2012. We hold on to our Karma because it’s so Familiar and Comfortable, even when it’s untoward. We hold on to Linear Time because the rest of the World still Lives in the Yangtegrity Patriarchy. We hope you’re continuing to Minimize your Commitments, Renegotiate When you Can, and Make Amends When Renegotiation Is Not Possible and the Relationship Is Worth Keeping, as we Recommend as a crutch for our Yintegrity till we can hang out There All Day.
• Of course, without Linear Time astrology is up a certain creek without the appropriate Tool to move on, but it still seems to be Useful, right?
• Speaking of Karma, Out of Bounds asteroid Karma moves into Sagittarius (The Way Out Is Letting Go) “for good” (till it moves on into Capricorn) at 1am PDT (9am BST, 6pm AEST) on the Ides of September. Except for dipping a toe into Sadge in March and April, it’s been Dancing in Scorpio (The Way Out is Through, often Excruciatingly) since last December. It won’t return In Bounds (Less Intensity), though, till next March. It will be Rubbing Our Faces in our Emotional Baggage from July to October next year, though, as it Retrogrades in Pisces (Clearing Expired Emotions).
• Out of Bounds Dwarf planet Asbolus (Enhanced Intuition) moves into Cancer 11pm PDT 15 September (7am BST, 4pm AEST, both 16 September), which should make us a bit less Judgmental.
• Asteroid Tantalus moves into Leo today (11 September 2022) at 6pm PDT (2am BST, 11am AEST, both tomorrow). The SuperPower of Tantalus is to Teach us to Relish Desire more than we Appreciate its Consummation. Small wonder it shares a root with Tantric. Here’s an excellent example of the Challenge or Victim, or Shadow, side of this Dimension…

Entree…

The 3am PDT (11am BST, 8pm AEST) 10 September 2022 Full Moon was in 18 Pisces. While they’re quite busy during the event, we Expect the New and Full Moons to see their primary Impact over the following several weeks, including an Energy Peak approximately a week after the event. In this case that’ll be the neighborhood of 3pm PDT 17 September (11pm BST, 8am AEST 18 September), at the Third Quarter Moon (the Waning Sun-Moon Square). The Energy Peak should mirror what we’re writing about below, perhaps with its own Embellishments.

However, by 17 September we’ll be deep into Climage Change et al (Stations of Quaoar and Pholus 18-19 September). Remember what the et al stands for? We had a list once, but I can never find it. I know it included all of the Main Effects that are Rapidly Changing these days – Gender Balance and Inclusion, Rejection of War as Barbaric, Racial Equality, Consciousness about Pollution, Death Throes of the Patriarchy, and of course all the accouterments of the End Times – Pestilence, Famine, War, Locusts, all the Fun things we associate with the Apocalypse. It’s important to Remember, though, that Karma Is Expectation. When we see certain Happenings, we Expect certain ills to follow. When we Change our Expectations, we Change our Karma.

Interesting that so many Voices are Recalling the Abuses of Colonialism. Just one example – a Carnegie Mellon Professor of Language put it thus, “If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star,” referring to her Experience in Nigeria.

The Full Moon Conjoins dwarf planet Nessus (Abuse and Privilege). If Abuse and Privilege are the end points of a Dimension, what would we call the Dimension? How about Equality. The Full Moon has two not-really-Self-Resolving, but Much-Enhanced Challenges or SuperPowers,¹ depending on our Approach to them. One of them Suggests that our best Defense against Abuse is Self-Love.² The other is about Making a Safe Home in Our Body for Our Soul by Attending to our Self-Sovereignty.³

So, if a Full Moon is an Initiation of a Process that becomes Evident at the Third-Quarter Moon, what might we Predict for 17 September? Maybe some major News about Sovereignty? Or about Respect for Nature? Dwarf planet Altjira T-Squared the Full-Moon Axis at the Full Moon, and Altjira is Stationary on 18 September, peaking at 11:20 pm PDT in 19 Gemini.

Dessert…

¹ T-Squares without Coincident Fingers of the Goddess, but with Coincident Grand Trines.

² Dwarf planet Altjira (The Diva of Life itself ) T-Squares the Full Moon Axis, with Narcissus (Self-Love) and Saturn (The Most Important Thing) on the other corners of the Altjira Grand Trine.

³ Uranus Conjunct North Node (Soul Merged with Life Mission) in Taurus T-Squares Saturn (The Most Important Thing) in Aquarius Opposite (Debating With) asteroid Lilith (Self-Sovereignty) and Hybris (Hubris) in Leo. The Coincident Grand Trine connects Uranus-North Node with dwarf planet Hylonome (Codependence) in Capricorn and the Sun (Our Essence) in Virgo.

Pattern-Busting Full Moon

Margery asks if we could show a picture of the 6:36 pm PDT 11 August 2022 Full Moon chart, which we could call a Ball-of-Yarn configuration, as it would keep a Cat occupied till nap time. We actually call it a Grand Unx – an “unx” is one twelfth of something, and a “grand” fills the Zodiac, so a Grand Unx is twelve planets equally spaced around the Astroloop. Yes, we could always get one of these if we use enough asteroids, and we use quite a few, but it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen one, so it’s not as facile as it seems. The main feature is twelve Unx Angles, each of which indicates Pattern-Breaking, so it’s a chart worth celebrating, especially as these Heavy Energies that so many people are reporting are Lighting Up everything in our Karma that we haven’t Cleared yet.

Just a few Examples…

• Karma is dead; it died with Linear Time ten years ago. But we’re all still clinging to its corpse. Whenever a polyp of Karma breaks off and falls away, we Feel Weird, we don’t know what’s happening, and our name isn’t even Mr. Jones. We reach out for the familiar, to Anchor ourself. What’s familiar? Our Karma! So we Embrace those old Comfortable Patterns enthusiastically, as if they were our favorite snacks! But Looky Here! That so-very-Intense Exaggerated Karma Frosted with the Emotions We’d Rather Die than Feel (asteroid Karma Out of Bounds on the South Node) is Unx to (one Sign from) New Beginnings (asteroid Klotho)! So without even trying, we can Break this Pattern of Grasping our Dead Karma – all we need to do is Announce our Intention to Let Our Dead Karma Go like a Hot Potato Instead!
• But wait! We’ve all Wrapped our Identity around our Karma – it’s inevitable. Our Karma is Who We Are, so no matter how nasty it is, we’re Ego-Attached to it. If we haven’t yet caught ourself Bragging about our Karma, we need to start Listening to what we’re saying! We can Intend to Let It Go, but what about the Ego Death – those aren’t Fun! What’s on the other side of Karma-South Node? Asteroid Narcissus (Overfocus on our Identity)! So without even trying, we can Break this Pattern of Ego-Identifying with our Karma – all we need to do is Announce our Intention to Experience our Ego Deaths Lovingly and Gently so We Can Be Excited about the Glorious Freedom we’ll Enjoy once we do!
• But Hold On! What about our Abuse Karma and all of the Unconscious Limitations that we use to Protect ourself from those Memories (Nessus-Vesta-Heracles) that we’ve buried so deep in the Dungeon that we don’t even know they happened? Well, Trusting our Instincts Unquestioningly (Saturn-Moon) Unxes that Stellium (Nessus-Vesta-Heracles), so without even trying, we can Break this Pattern of Being Triggered for no apparent reason – all we need to do is Vow from now on to Act on our Instincts Immediately, without Questioning them and without ever Explaining them, no matter how Weird we think it’ll look to others.
• But Shit, when I’m Triggered I’m usually Feeling Depressed and Powerless, and my Instincts are nowhere in sight! Often I Feel Depressed and Powerless and I don’t even know when or how I was Triggered! I usually think it’s “just me” that’s Depressing and Powerless. But on the other side of Nessus-Vesta-Heracles, it’s Unx to Despair and Miracles (Chiron). Well, we know how to Poor Sweetheart ourself out of Despair and Create Miracles, but when we’re Depressed and Powerless, we’re Regressed to whatever Bummers we’re Unconsciously Reliving. When we Regress, we Forget everything we’ve Learned since those Repressed Bummers happened! So without even trying, we can Break this Pattern of Forgetting What We Know – all we need to do is Vow from now on that when we’re Regressed we’ll Remember All of the Tools We’ve Learned to Restore our Current-Life Identity, like Poor-Sweethearting!

No Wonder the Energies Feel Heavy!! Can you Imagine how the other eight Unxes might play out?

Apart from the Glories of the Grand Unx, the Big Deal about this Full Moon is that it “Squares the Nodes.” What does that mean?

• Well, the Nodal Axis – South Node to North Node – is the most important Axis in a chart, as it indicates the Source, Direction, and Destination of “the Native” (the person or event for which the chart is drawn). In this Full Moon, the Source is a Karmic Hellhole, the Destination is Reunion of Day-to-Day Identity with Soul, and the Direction is from Emotional Overload to Stability.¹
• At any Full Moon, our Inner Male and our Inner Female are Face-to-Face, where as much as they are able, they can be Honest about the Quality of their Union. In Carl Jung’s approach to Psychology, which we applaud, the Perfection of this Union is more or less equivalent to Enlightenment, thus a Key Ingredient of our 5D Endeavors.
• The “Square” means that these two Critically Important Axes sit at Right Angles to one another, meaning in applied mathematics that they are Independent – they do not Influence one another under the radar. So our Purpose (Nodal Axis) and our Integrity (Inner Harmony) are a priori Unrelated, and each can Operate and Negotiate without Unconsciously Compromising themself.

Notice how different this is than the conventional astrological interpretation of a Square – as a Crisis. In a Left-Brain Patriarchal Culture, the very idea of Surrendering Power to the Female is Anathema. In this blog we’ve been inching toward interpreting Squares as Superpowers rather than Challenges. We don’t mean that the Challenges go away. In the previous post we averred that “If We Aren’t Ready to Receive What We’re Asking For, the Universe Will Show Us Examples of Why We Aren’t.” If we Experience our Squares as Superpowers, we’re Ready to Receive What We Want. If we Experience them as Challenges, the Universe is Clarifying for us Exactly what we still need to Let Go Of in order to Support Ourself without Unconscious Compromise, aka without Self-Sabotage.

The Loud and Clear Message in this particular Full Moon is that The Most Important Thing is to Trust our Instincts.² Jung used to say that people who emphasized Thinking were not Rational, because they weren’t in touch with their Values (which are accessed through Emotion). In an Ideal Lifetime, our Inner Female calls the shots (assuming She’s in touch with Her Feelings), and our Inner Male follows Her lead. That’s Inner Female and Inner Male – any Relationship between actual Living People needs relative Equality in both Vision and Action, as each person will contribute Vision from their own Inner Female, and each person will contribute Action from their own Inner Male.

A Grand Unx is so incredibly rich that we’ve only begun to scratch the surface. Full Moon Energies are usually Prominent for several weeks afterward, so we have time, and we’ll Dive Deeper in the next post.

• ¹ Source = South Node, Merged with asteroid Karma Out of Bounds (Exaggerated ), Destination = North Node, Merged with Uranus (Soul ), Direction = Scorpio (Fearless Searching) to Taurus (Grounded Materiality).
• ² Moon (Instincts) Conjunct Saturn (The Most Important Thing).

Scary Lunar Eclipse I

This week is all about Sign Changes…

• Asteroid Juno entered Capricorn Sunday 14 November 2021. Juno is about Growth in Consciousness. Since late December 2020 we’ve been Growing our Awareness of What We Needed to Let Go Of (Juno in Sagittarius). Now, till early March 2022, we get to Plug in Candidates for Refilling those Holes in Our Lives (Juno in Capricorn) that Have Been Created by All That Letting Go. Voids are seldom comfortable, so I suspect that, like me, you’ve been working overtime trying to Fix the Holes Where The Rain Gets In, with less success than you would have liked, because it wasn’t time yet. That should be Changing. Yay!
• Asteroid Karma entered Scorpio Monday 15 November. Boo! Like Frank said to Ernest, I just get my budget in order, and along comes a big surprise, like rent, or a weekend. So as they so often do, our killjoy Ancient Habits (asteroid Karma) are already pushing and shoving their way into the Holes. But this is not without Purpose. Scorpio is Relentless about Getting to the Bottom of Things. So while Juno in Sadge went home with our marbles, now we get to deal with our Addiction to our Routines. Joe Dispenza’s free series of four short workshops (still available at https://experience.hayhouseu.com/redesigningyourdestiny-video1-whereyourattentiongoes/) is about exactly that, and it’s Right On. It’s also an excellent time to reread Gay Hendricks’s The Big Leap. Asteroid Karma (“a.Karma”) has been in Libra – I hope you Deepened your most important Relationships rather than Fleeing them – since only the last few days of August, so at least the torture was short-lived. a.Karma will be done unearthing skeletons by February 2022¹.
• Asteroid Vesta enters Sagittarius Tuesday 16 November. Make up yer mind, Universe! Are we Building or Dismantling? It’s always Both/And, isn’t it. If we didn’t have Apoptosis, we’d get even fatter every day than we already do. Vesta is about Our Limiting Beliefs. These days it’s only spending about two months in each Sign. So the last two months we’ve been furiously hammering away at the Beliefs that Most Limit us (Vesta in Scorpio), and we’re probably Frustrated that they seem to still be there! We did Identify them, however, and that will be a great Boon as we Let Them Go over the next few months (Vesta in Sadge). Bear in mind that Life is a lot more complicated than our Dualistic mind can comprehend, so if you think you can actually Name your Limitations, be sure to add …or something like that… to any Descriptions of them.
• Asteroid Sappho enters Pisces Wednesday 17 November. Sappho (Self-Love and Self-Doubt) has been in Aquarius (Social Idealism) since April, seven months, but it’ll only spend two months in Pisces. I suspect we’ll be glad about that, as we could be spending a lot of time blubbering about the Barrage of Regrets we could be inundated with, as Pisces is about Finishing Unfinished Emotional Business. Whatever you Do or Feel between now and the Ides of February, be hypervigilant about Blame. Blame, whether Self- or Other-, is a total Dead End. No better way to squelch your Growth and stop your Progress toward any Goal, than to hang yourself with the Noose of Blame. Gay Hendricks advises, “that if I could consider, even for a moment, that I was not upset for the reason I thought I was [Thoughts about our Feelings again!], then I could break out of the Trance I was in. Then, I could begin to see what the real reasons were” (op.cit. p.102).
• Asteroid Nemesis enters Capricorn Sunday 21 November. Nemesis spent three months in Sagittarius (Letting Go Of Guilt) but it’ll only spend two months in Capricorn (Putting Guilt to Work Productively). This Sign Change will be much complicated by its concurrence with the 18-21 November Exaggeration of Intrusive Memories (21 November Station of dwarf planet Gonggong²), and by concurrent Exaggeration of our Instincts (Moon Out of Bounds 20-24 November³). Not to mention the 19 November Scary Lunar Eclipse.⁴

• ¹ Well, not quite. a.Karma turns Retrograde in March 2022 and backs into Scorpio again in April. It finally moves into Sagittarius “for good” in September 2022. Meanwhile, a.Karma is Out of Bounds (Exaggerated) from late December 2021 in mid-Scorpio, all through 2022, till March 2023 in early Aquarius.
• ² Formerly known as “OR10” or “2007 OR10” (or in some ephemerides minor planet number “225088”), the dwarf planet named after the ne’er-do-well Chinese Dragon Gonggong is about Intrusive Memories. It Stands Still at 7:28 am PST November 21, in 4 Pisces. While the connection is fading, Gonggong has been hanging out near dwarf planet Nessus (Abuse and Privilege) for the last several years. This year their Stations are four days and eight Degrees apart, but with Nemesis, an Out-of-Bounds Moon, and a Scary Full Moon Eclipse involved, they’re very likely to Test the progress we’ve been making on Clearing our Abuse Issues. Two key strategies to Remember: (1) That was Then and This is Now and (2) Don’t Trust Your Thoughts about Your Feelings – Keep Coming Back to the Emotion Itself, as a Sensation in Your Body. Sink your Breath and your Attention Deeply into that Sensation, and Persistently Reject the Temptation to Trust Your Ideas and Thoughts More Than You Trust the Sensations in Your Body. If you succeed at quieting the Noise in your Mind, the Sensations will eventually talk to you, but they’ll speak through your Unitary and Multidimensional Intuition, not through your Dualistic Mind. Truth and Healing Reside in Our Bodies, Not in Our Minds. The Nessus Station occurs at 2am PST November 25, in 12 Pisces.
• ³ Moon Out of Bounds from 9:24 am PST 20 November in 13:14 Gemini till 7:28 pm PST 24 November in 5:49 Leo, Peaking (Stationary) 2:45 pm PST 22 November at 26:21 North Declination and 9:28 Cancer.
• ⁴ Virtually (about 95%) Total Eclipse (Illumination) of the Moon 12:58 am PST 19 November in 27:15 Taurus, Conjunct dwarf planet Sedna (Converting Fear to Power) and T-Square to Jupiter and asteroid Damocles (Swords about to Fall, Amplified). More about this in the next installment. The Eclipse is at 28 Degrees, the Sign Changes at 30 = 0 Degrees, and the Gonggong Station at 4 Degrees, all on or near the Cusps, which are the equivalent of the I Ching’s Changing or Moving Lines. We’ll use the Eclipse chart to represent all three.

Expanding into Fear II

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love Is the Answer 3

We’re still deep in this Self-Love Pressure-Cooker Portal. We’ve endured the 8 July 2021 Challenge to Self-Love Itself (asteroid Sappho Stationary or Exaggerated), the 11 July Rebirth (dwarf planet Haumea Stationary), which always requires an Ego Death, the 13 July Reset of our Relationships (Mars Initiating Venus) with its Challenge to our Codependence, and the 14 July Scrambling of our Boundaries (asteroid Pallas Stationary). Of our six July Stations in the 25-29 Degree Zone, we’re three down and three to go. We don’t expect the last three to be any Easier than the first three, but we’ll get to that shortly.

Buried in the middle of this first trio was a 15 July Challenge to our Élan (Chiron Stationary 9:40 am PDT, in 13 Aries). It happens seven Degrees and two days from our Relationship Reset (Mars-Venus Initiation), so each event is prominent in the other’s chart. It proposes a Healing of our Abuse Karma. Not a Healing of Abuse, but a Healing of our Abuse Karma – meaning a Change that will echo back and forth across Time, with Potentially Huge Implications.

Occurring in July where it’s Surrounded and Embraced by Self-Love, and Supervised by our Soul (Uranus T-Square), it stands a good chance of Succeeding. But of course, as with any Healing, the Ego has to accede, and also as with any Healing, we have to Fully Embrace what we’re Intending to Heal before the Wound will Budge. The general rule, and it’s Solid, is that In order for Anything to Change, we must first Accept It Fully Exactly as It Is. Change means we’re Passionate about NOT Accepting Repetitions, but if we don’t first Accept Historical or Herstorical occurrences with Neutrality, the Change won’t stick.

Sound Contradictory? Contradictions occur only in Duality; in higher Dimensions, it’s Paradox. Passionate Neutrality is a Paradox. It means that we have no Emotional or Identity Attachment to Past or Future occurrences, in this case, of Abuse, but we have both Emotional and Identity Attachment to the Active Prevention or Avoidance of ongoing Current-Moment occurrences. If that sounds difficult to pull off, it’s because it is, when seen with the Dualistic Mind. When seen with the Heart, it makes perfect sense. One implication is that every setback is simply another Lesson in the ongoing Committed Effort. As with Addiction, we’re never Recovered, but always In Recovery.

But let’s look at the chart…

We see the two big red triangles, or Challenges (T-Squares). The upper one, pointing to asteroid Juno (Expansion of Consciousness), tells us what’s happening “to” us. The lower one, pointing to Uranus (Soul ), tells us what to do to succeed at the Task presented by the upper one, namely to Let Go of Our Abuse Karma.

In the upper T-Square, the Focus is on Expansion of Consciousness (asteroid Juno), and the Root of the Challenge is an Opposition between Abuse and Privilege (dwarf planet Nessus) and the Source of our Karma (asteroid Karma Conjunct dwarf planet Orcus). Orcus is about Oath-Making and Oath-Breaking. Karma results from an Oath or Vow or Promise, or even a Decision. When a Vow has Life-or-Death consequences, we avoid getting Dead by reorganizing our Worldview such that the Oath Limits our Perception of Reality. We aren’t a Person performing Military Service, we ARE a Soldier, our Identity, and the rest of our Reality follows from that base. When Soldiering becomes an Identity rather than an Action, one forgets that there are Options, and Karma is Created. Orcus Breaks Oaths by Reminding us that there are Options.

The 4½-year Karma-Orcus Cycle outpictures the stages of our Karmic Evolution in the Current Lifetime. The recently-completed Cycle began November 2016 in 10 Virgo – “Two heads looking out and beyond the shadows: The growth of true understanding, born out of the transcendence of duality even while immersed in the world of duality.” The New Cycle was born 14 July 2021 (12:49 pm PDT) in 12 Virgo, “After the wedding, the groom snatches the veil away from his bride.” Why would the groom feel the need to “snatch away” the veil, rather than just tenderly removing it? Both Insecurity and Disrespect are implied. This doesn’t mean that our New Relationship Cycle will necessarily be characterized by Insecurity and Disrespect. It does mean that, if we Choose to Pursue it with Passionate Neutrality, we can Potentially Banish Insecurity and Disrespect from our Relationships.

The chart of the 14 July Orcus-Karma Initiation (the Beginning of the Cycle) is the same as the Chiron-Station chart above, with one adjustment. In the Orcus-Karma chart, the South Node Conjoins Juno, and the North Node Creates a Balanced Grand Cross out of the Juno T-Square. That turns the Challenge into an Inconvenience. Since Banishing Insecurity and Disrespect from our Relationships would normally require Ego Death, this is a Blessed Inconvenience.

We still have the Soul Challenge (Uranus T-Square) in both the Chiron Station and the Orcus-Karma charts. On one end of its base we have The Most Important Thing (Saturn), and on the other we have Trust (asteroid Eurydike). The question is whether we Trust the Soul enough to Allow the Ego to follow the Soul’s Directions. Chiron is about Discouragement or Despair, and Miracles. From a place of Despair, it’s not Physically or Spiritually Possible to Manifest What We Want and Need. If we suddenly do start to Create it, it’s a Miracle, because something Impossible is now Manifesting. Discouragement is less Final than Despair, but it leans the same way. How do we Exit a place of Despair or Discouragement? One way is to Empathize with our Despair or Discouragement. That can be as simple as Poor-Sweethearting ourself, and then Changing the Subject.

New Project Week II

As we move into our New Self (asteroid Klotho Stationary 4:30 am PDT 7 June 2021 in 18 Libra), it will behoove us to Attend to our Relationships with Abuse and with Privilege (dwarf planet Nessus Stationary 9:24 am PDT 14 June in 16 Pisces). Though it’s only one of many Challenges that will Confront our Newbie shortly after our Rebirth, Unconscious and Conscious Changes in our Relationship with Abuse and Privilege is probably the biggest one. The intervening Challenges…

• Emotional Intensity (Moon moving Out of Bounds for four days starting 10:57 pm PDT 9 June in 18 Gemini). This hits a peak on 11 June (Moon Stationary in North Declination 25:39 and Longitude 11 Cancer at 9:08 pm PDT), and fades on 13 June (Moon moving back In Bounds at 6:19 pm PDT in 4 Leo).

• Ego Death(s) Required to Let Go of Karma (asteroid Karma moves into Virgo 2:34 pm 9 June). If you have a Journal, Karma was previously in the Sign of Ego Death (Virgo) between 1 December 2020 and 23 January 2021), before it backed back into Leo till 2 April. It’s been moving forward in its third Dance over the last five Duads (2½ Degrees) of Leo since then. This deserves a post of its own.

💥 For now we’ll just say that Virgo is what happens between the Cyclic Culmination of our Individual Identity (Leo) and Meeting Not-Us or Other (Libra). Just as Pisces is about Letting Go of Emotional Baggage so we don’t have to drag it with us into our next Adventure, Virgo is about Letting Go of Obsolete Identities so we don’t mess up our Relationships with Others by “Pretending” (usually Unconsciously) to be someone we ain’t. “Others” includes not just People, but since Everything in the Universe is Conscious, it also includes Everything that we aren’t Being or Owning in the Moment. For example, if you Identify with Loving Nature, prove it to yourself by Inviting a Bird to perch on your finger, without pooping on your hand or giving you Salmonella.

💥 We also need to say that our most troubling Karma is where We Would Rather Die than Feel That Again, aka our “Held Emotions” (South Node). Because most Hupers Believe that we’re Once-Born or Twice-Born, we misinterpret “I’d Rather Die Than Feel That” as “I’d Rather Die Than Feel That,” while it’s really “I’d Rather Die Than Feel That” – Ego Death. We’re just sawing through one of the legs of the three-legged stool we usually sit on. If we Want to minimize Pain, we’d stand up before we did that. But if you know what it means to Go Without an Identity (ie, stepping out of your Identity) for a few minutes, I’d love to know. The Emotion of Confusion is the closest we can come, and we regard Confusion as one of the best Emotions because it’s the Doorway to Evolution. We usually try to suppress it by Figuring Out What’s “Wrong,“ which is one of our most Self-Destructive Habits.

• Illuminations about the State of our Planet and the Likelihood of our Survival if we continue on our Current Trajectory (Annular Eclipse of the Sun 3:52 am PDT 10 June in 20 Gemini [Sabian Symbol “A modern cafeteria displays an abundance of food, products of various regions“], primarily impacting the several weeks following it). It will be visible if you happen to be crossing the North Pole (bring a Boat, that’s cold Water). An Annular Eclipse is one where the moon is far enough from the Earth that it doesn’t quite appear to cover the face of the Sun – an Almost-Total Eclipse. Consciousness Grows by Discovery, not by Invention, and under Eclipses we Discover what’s now missing, that we hadn’t noticed previously. For more details, see https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4910.

• An Increase in Selfishness (Mars enters Leo 6:33 am PDT 11 June). Which is not always a Negative thing. We can’t Love Other Fully until we Love Ourself Fully. Given our Illuminations about the State of the Planet and its Huper inhabitants, though, the Greedheads will probably be making another Power Grab. If we Pray enough for it, they might Betray their Heartlessness and be met with Rotten Tomatoes, or better yet new laws about, say, voting, taxing, and legal theft, and new Cultural Norms about Worshiping Wealth. The few Greedheads who aren’t Sociopaths might even have Epiphanies about their own antisocial Greed. Mars will stay in Leo till the end of July.

While we usually just dwell on the Back-of-Hand/Palm dynamics of Abuse and Privilege, we should actually look at the Pros and Cons of each. For instance, having Privilege can make so many things so much Easier. Rather than Gloating about our supposed Superiority as the source of our Privilege, or arming ourself to the hilt to keep the Rabble from “stealing” back what we’ve stolen from them, or Resisting Privilege because we’re Conscious of the Abuse that results and Guilty about it, we might instead find our Gratitude for our Privilege. In 5D where Collaboration outduels Competition, we’ll no long be in a Zero-Sum World, but back in a Natural World where the Sum is Much Greater than its Parts. From a place of Gratitude for our historical Privilege we may be able to Share it or Teach Others how to Enjoy it without creating more Abuse – not like the Missionaries that enabled the Conquistadors, however. How would we avoid that?

As for Abuse, until enough people Unite against the Psychopaths and Sociopaths and Missionaries (which will require that we no longer Worship Wealth and Greed) and enforce a meaningful Equality, the most positive feature I can envision for Abuse, is for it to Inspire us to Delete our Abuse Karma. History of course was written by the Abusers, who were by and large proud of their Conquists, so the Horrors of our Karmic History may be Exaggerated by their Pride, though I’m not naive enough about the Cruelty and Sadism of our Species, or the extreme Privilege of the Abusers, to Believe that any such Exaggeration has been more than slight.

“Trust but Verify” is good advice. During the 1980s, when Pluto was in Scorpio and Recovery was all the rage, I Learned to Ask, “What color is the wallpaper?” to remind myself that most PTSD episodes are Flashbacks and not Present-Moment. The Jungle “wallpaper” of Vietnam, and the Bare Metal “wallpaper” of the Ships, contrasts with even unadorned wallboard, so we could distinguish hallucinations from real napalm, torture, anal probes, and implants. Grounding is always a helpmate (running an imaginary cable from the base of your spine to the center of the Earth), Eating, and Orgasm are reliable Grounders.

Mirrors are always useful, especially when you’re trying to Heal Feelings that aren’t yours, which is not possible. Mirrors are even useful as a first response – when you’re Feeling awful without obvious Triggers, take the first person who comes to mind, and for five to ten seconds hold a wardrobe Mirror between you and them, facing them. If your Feelings become more acceptable, you know you’re trying to run their Emotions through your Body – or, they’re Manipulating you. If you’re being Manipulated, even with the best Intentions, it’s never fun. Most folks are totally Unconscious that they’re Manipulating. Mirrors are a good strategy for dealing with Climate Deniers, Mask Objectors, Gun Freaks, folks who want to Deny your Vote and Control your Body, and other Antichrist Lovers. You won’t need to get into a hopeless morass of Conversation with them, and if you position your Mirror so it Reflects their Energy back at them, they’ll get a bit of their own toxic “Medicine.”

The Big Advantage of using “Then versus Now” tricks, Grounding, and Mirrors, is that they’re Habit-forming. When we’re Vulnerable to Manipulation by Other People’s Energy, it’s because our Programmers “Intentionally” (though probably Unconsciously) carved a Hole in the back of our Aura, so they could reach in and pull our strings whenever they wanted or needed to. It often looks and feels like Shaming. Habitual Manipulators “see” those Holes, usually Unconsciously, so we can be Manipulated by strangers we pass on the street. Our Programmers just thought it was good parenting, and you may do it yourself when your own kids threaten to drive you Batty. As these “tricks” become a Habit, the hole in our Aura actually Seals Up, so not only do the “tricks” become second-nature, they also Heal the Source of our Dis-Ease. When our Will is Healthily Self-Serving, Habitual Manipulators pass us by without a second glance, because we’re useless as an Object for their Power Games.

Issues such as these may Confront our Experiential Infant this coming week. It never hurts to recall that we’re actually an Eternal Energy Nexus (often called an “Immortal Soul”) borrowing a Material Body. Energy can never be Destroyed, only Transformed. Revelation of Denial (dwarf planet Eris) remains Out of Bounds through all of this (until 4:12 am PDT 18 July in 20 Cancer), so don’t be Surprised if New Information about your Personal or Karmic History or Herstory comes into your Consciousness during these Adventures. If you’ve noticed that almost everything above occurs in 16-20 Degrees of one Sign or another, you’ll be checking your natal chart to see what will be Lit Up for you, as your own Energy System meshes with the Planet’s.

All of this is Important, because as we get past the 14 June Exaggeration of Abuse and Privilege (Nessus Station), we drop into a week of very Intense Manifestation Energy, as three Big Energies are simultaneously Emphasized. When Energies Conjoin in Time, it’s as if they’re Conjoining in Longitude – and these Big Fellas are also actually in neighboring Degrees of their respective Signs. The three Energies are Manifestation Itself (dwarf planet Makemake Stationary 6:42 pm PDT 19 June in 6 Libra), Expansion (Jupiter Stationary 8:04 am PDT 20 June in 3 Pisces, and The Opportunity to Jettison Karma Early (asteroid Lachesis Stationary 2:42 pm PDT 20 June in 6 Scorpio).

If as is the case hereabouts, you’re Wondering why the Foundations of your Personal Infrastructure seems to be Falling Apart, each Failure is a Big Clue about the Unconscious Energies “you” are running but not Owning, that Block what you’re trying to Manifest. Take time to Sit with each Failure of Intention or Function, and Merge with it Energetically. The Objective is to Meet each of your Unconscious Blocks as Energy Clusters in the Unconscious, Meet them in Neutral territory without Bias or Judgment on your part, and with an Open Mind Ask the Question, “Is this Energy really My Own, but I’ve been Denying it?”
