Nothing But Lots Going On

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.” And it’s probably no Coincidence that on 11 March 2023, the dwarf planet Chaos was Standing Still in the Sky. Chaos is a Speck far too tiny for us to see. At its Closest Approach, once every 300 years, it’s 40 times as distant from the Sun as we are, and if it came to visit us (and accomplished a Very Soft Landing), it would take up only two thirds of France. It’s 15% furthur away than Pluto, and only one fourth as wide. So of course it’s Trivia to us.

Except that it Lives in the Darkness, in the Unconscious. There’s little argument that the overwhelming majority of “our” Emotions, Thoughts, and Behaviors are determined not by our Ego or our Soul or even our Circumstances, but by the Unconscious. It’s not even “our” Unconscious, because Identity is Egoic, not Universal. We have some Affinity with a microscopic portion of the Vast Sea of The Unconscious, but we have to Share even that tiny slice with an infinite number of other Entities. And it’s very name is a rather silly Projection of the Ego, as it’s “Unconscious” only to our puny Ego.

Of course The Unconscious has a Consciousness – every Entity does. It’s phenomenally Narcissistic of us to assume that we’re the Only ones. The Consciousness of The Unconscious is probably as close as we can Conceive of God/Goddess, to the extent that we can. (Not to be Confused with Freud’s Subconscious, which from the Ego’s Perspective is more Satanic, though it’s alternate name, Lucifer, does Identify it as part of the Unconscious. In astrology, the Subconscious is symbolized by the South Node.) The Edge of Darkness is a Magnifying Lens. The tinier and more distant are the Specks in the Unconscious, the Greater their Power over us.

Dwarf planet Chaos was not named for Disorder, or even for Chaos Theory, which is only a bit more Organized than Disorder. Chaos was the Greek label for what Existed before Zeus Declared the Patriarchy. To Zeus that was Nothing, though of course it was actually the Matriarchy. Zeus’s Hit Men Perseus and Hercules were sent to Assassinate the Symbols of Feminine Power, because people like Medusa and Hydra (at right) Terrified the Patriarchy. We regard Chaos as implying our Unlimited Potential, our True Self, as what’s left once we scrape off the veneers of Programming and Karma.

Before we knew that there was anything else out there in the Darkness beyond it, we regarded Pluto as the symbol of the Universal Unconscious. It’s a good example of the Magnifying Lens of the Edge of Darkness. It’s a tiny dot compared to Neptune, but everyday astrologers assigned it to the likes of Nuclear Power, whether tethered to your toaster, or Not.

Now that Chaos has had its Day in the Light, and Saturn has entered Pisces, the rest of March is pretty Quiet, giving us a welcome Break, which we’ve well Earned. The Moon does go Out of Bounds over the Northern Hemisphere again, from 26-31 March, which could get Exciting as our Emotional Sensitivity again Blooms. More Confrontation with Pootin’? More delayed fallout from the Regional Banks? More Manufactured Crises we can Blame on Republicrats or Democans? Or Both? More Economic and Environmental Collapse?

Pluto moves into Pisces on 23 March, but the Impact of Sign Changes are seldom Sudden and Drastic. Pluto is however Slowing Down, to Stand Still on 1 May. By the end of March Pluto is moving less than one arcminute (a Sixtieth of a Degree) per day, while we usually consider a planet to be Stationary or Strong as long as it’s within one Degree of its Station. By that measure, Pluto has been Stationary since 24 February, the anniversary of Pootin’s Invasion. So it would be Denial to assume that we aren’t already in the propwash of Pluto’s Mayday Station. Interesting choice of dates.

Unlike the Quiet in this last half of March, past the Ides, April is quite Busy, with fourteen Stations, many piled on top of one another. It gets very Confusing when Stations play dogpile, just as it does when we have Stelliums in our natal chart. A Stellium is three planets together. Since each planet represents a quanta of Meaning, when three Merge, we’re Confronted with entirely new Meanings of things. Look at the crushing social Confusion over having Maleness and Femaleness Intermingled. Entire States are making that illegal in the US, and basing Presidential Campaigns on it!

Imagine how Confusing it would be if Obedience and Self-Hate and Mistrust were Merged! Oh wait, half the country’s already doing that, aren’t they, and Feeling Great about it. They call it “MAGA.” Well, what would it look like to have Inner Guidance, Self-Love, and Trust all Merged into one Meaning? Hmm, might that Feel sorta like Being Aligned with our own Higher Self? Of course if we’re no longer stuck in 2D Linearity, we’ll Realize that Obedience and Inner Guidance are the same Energy, just viewed from different sides of the Border Wall between them. Same with Self-Hate versus Self-Love, and Mistrust versus Trust, and Ego-Self versus Soul-Self. Just Word Games.

If you haven’t already Recognized this Civil War within yourself, and its Mirror in Politics, you’ll probably see it pretty Clearly during the first week of May, when Ixion (Social Convention), Sappho (Self-Appreciation), and Eurydike (Trust) are all Strong (Stationary) at the same time. If you’ve ever spent much time navigating in Total Darkness, you understand how easy it is to get totally Turned Around without knowing it. Eventually you can’t even tell Up from Down, as the Ghosts of many Ex-Pilots will Attest.

In the Unconscious, Opposites are Equals. There are no Heads or Tails, only Coins, with very thin Edges. Where do we Live most of the time? In the Unconscious. Here’s a great quote from the oh-so-contemporary Debate over the oxymoronic “Artificial Intelligence”…

“Such [Artificial Intelligence] systems have inspired boundless optimism around this technology’s potential, with some seeing a sense of intelligence almost on par with humans. The systems, though — as critics and the AI researchers are quick to point out — are merely repeating patterns and associations found in their training data without a clear understanding of what it’s saying or when it’s wrong” (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/03/14/gpt-4-has-arrived-it-will-blow-chatgpt-out-water/).

“Merely repeating patterns and associations found in [our] training data without a clear understanding of what [we’re doing] or when it’s wrong” – isn’t that Exactly what We do until we clear away our Programming and Karma?

Fortunately, on 1 April (April Fools Day!), Artesian (Assistance with Manifestation) is Stationary or Strong, so we can use the Enhanced Emotional Power of the Out-of-Bounds Moon between 26 and 31 March, while Artesian is Standing Still, to PIAVA that we Use the Energy of the upcoming triple Station to Clear Away as much Programming and Karma as we possibly can! (Artesian is within one Degree of its Station from today, 14 March, on). Remember that We Create More of What We Feel, so PIAVA while you’re Feeling Strong and Upbeat. Take a dozen deep Inhales and long Exhales, both through your nose, to increase your élan.

April goes on… The Stations of Pholus (Being Fully Responsive to…) and Quaoar (Our Survival Instincts) are Merged 6-8 April. Pholus-Quaoar signifies the Climate Change Challenge with all it’s Apocalyptic Correlates that we’re immersed in.

Then while the Moon is Out of Bounds South between 9 and 14 April, the Stations of Samadhi (Enlightenment) and Cyllarus (Ego Death) Merge – another great Programming- and Karma-Clearing Opportunity.

Then again between 16 and 19 April, while Venus (our Values) is going Out of Bounds (Being Exaggerated), the Stations of Sisyphus (Learning that it’s the Journey that’s of Greatest Value, Not the Destination), Varuna (The Life Force), and Requiem (Ego Death Again) are Merged – yet another Fantastic Opportunity.

All while Pluto (Compulsion) is Standing Still. Pluto is synonymous with Addiction, but by now you know that if you have Addiction in the palm of your hand, all you need to do to Revert it, is to Turn Your Hand Over. In the Unconscious, where we Live most of the Time, Addiction is the same as Not-Addiction. Our Addictions, including our Addiction to our Programming and Karma, are merely repeating patterns and associations found in our training data without a clear understanding of what they’re saying or when they’re Self-Sabotaging.

The Pluto Station is Merged with a Station of Hylonome (Codependence, or Trusting Others more than Ourself), so the whole month of April (and March – the Pluto Station technically started 24 February, when Pluto was one Degree from its Station) are Excellent Times to Bring our Self-Trust back to our Self.

“The good news is that trust can grow as a result of what you are taught about yourself by other people. Unfortunately, this is also the bad news. As we know, children often believe what other people tell them; [we] don’t conduct [our] own independent investigation and assessment of whether or not the information [we]’re getting from others is true and accurate. Then [we] grow into adults, still believing the same, potentially faulty information. As a result, a huge part of [our] journey to self-trust will be learning how to deprogram [our]self from all the misinformation that has highjacked [our] mind since childhood” (Iyanla Vanzant, Trust: Mastering the Four Essential Trusts, p.38).

And of course, before that. We wouldn’t be dealing with Life-Long Trust Issues if we hadn’t volunteered in the Lightworker’s Lounge to come down here and work on Trust Karma.

Gotta Hurry

Our CAO has recommended this video, https://www.thetappingsolution.com/2023event/R00Ms/D5-MT.php, from the 2023 Tapping World Summit that’s only available free till 4-5 March 2023 (at PST 5pm 4th, GMT 1am 5th, IST 6:30 am 5th, AEDT Qld 11am 5th), but it’s so timely that I recommend it very highly. In the video, Iyanla Vanzant leads a Tapping Session that’s named Healing Difficult Family Dynamics: How to Use Tapping to Bring Peace and Harmony to Your Relationships, but is really about Removing Obstacles to Embracing Our Unlimited Potential, very much befitting the 9-11 March Stations of Asbolus (Intuition) and Chaos (Our Unlimited Potential) that we’re all already Feeling. The core Tapping Session starts just after 24:30 and runs about 8 minutes, but the whole Session is Powerful.

Welcome to Marchuary

Where I Live, the months go …April, May, Junuary, July, August… because May and July are usually quite warm, while June somehow often resembles January. Of course Mom planned this out to make sure the Strawberries get just the right combination of Morning Drizzle and Afternoon Sunshine so they Fatten up Aromatic, Firm but Tender and Super Sweet without that tacky Sugary texture that grinds your Teeth.

Well, at least that was true before the Chemists crossed them with Golfballs to improve their Shelf-life. Chemists, not generally being Highly Sensitive People, didn’t notice that they now Lacked Aroma, Tenderness, and Sweetness. But they did have the Shelf-life of a Golfball! Kinda like the famous Flavr Savr “Tomato” that was crossed with a Baseball and supposedly “Loved by Housewives” (whom they never actually asked), and survived as a Commercial Success for about a week and a half.

Traditionally, March begins our season of horizonal Big Tide-Spotless Bright White Puffball Clouds (Towering Cumulus) on a gorgeous Blue-Sky Background. This year the Sun is hesitating to leave Mexico, so at night it’s still in the 20s F, with Skin Chill factors of 10 below Reasonable. So Locals will recognize the “-uary” pun, while everyone else, Coincidentally, will probably think “Mortuary,” though most of the Victims of 2023 so far haven’t had nearly so formal a sendoff.

March 1, 2023 March 1, 2023, Damocles (Fear of Accountability) moves into Pisces (Letting Go of Emotional Baggage) until 22 August 2023. Till now, since December 1994, we’ve been concerned with our Accountability to Political and Social Rules, like our local zoning laws and our Relationships, especially with Neighbors (Damocles in Aquarius). These concerns have been Impacting us Emotionally, Triggering our Karma, since April 2021, during which time Damocles has been Dancing back and forth between Aquarius (Rules) and Pisces (Emotions). This Dance will continue till December 2025, when Damocles will enter Pisces “for good” (till its next Zodiacal Loop). With Damocles in Pisces, we will Suffer Mightily if we Fail to Accept Accountability for our Emotions. That means we stop Blaming them on other people, and Realize that, as Iyanla Vanzant tells us, An Emotion is Described by only One Word – everything else is a Thought About Our Emotions! If it takes us longer than two minutes to Let Go of an Emotion, it’s not Present-Moment, it’s Karma. Changing that Nasty Self-Sabotaging Habit must be our First Priority if we have any Hope of finding 5D, OR any Inner Peace. The 40-year orbit of Damocles stretches from 1.6 AU (Earth-Sun distances), just inside the Orbit of Mars, to 23 AU, just beyond Uranus. It spends about two thirds of its Orbit in Aquarius, which explains a lot about how Huper Politics has been so screwed up over the span of HisStory, and continue to be. Relate this to your own Personal History and Journal, and to your own natal chart: Damocles was or is or will be in Pisces during April-July 2021, March-July 2022, March-August 2023, March-September 2024, February-October 2025, and December 2025-May 2029. March 1, 2023, Arache (Grandmother Spider Who Weaves the Web of Life) moves into Aries (A New Beginning with a New Spiritual Agenda) till 3 May 2023. We can PIAVA that Huperity makes major Progress toward Learning to Respect Nature as the Source of Our Sustenance. With it’s 4¼-year Orbit, Arachne was last in Aries between January and March of 2019, when Greta started touring the World. In the upcoming Cycle, Arache will Dally most in Libra (most of 2025), where the World’s Social Order will Transform to the New Agenda, and in Capricorn (most of 2026), where the World’s Infrastructure will be Revised. 1 Aries is Single-Minded, Hard-Working, Opinionated.

March 2-19, 2023, Mercury (Awareness) will move through Pisces (Letting Go of Emotional Baggage), giving us a great Opportunity to Learn to Stop Mentalizing our Emotions. Emotions are best mined for Intuitions, but Studying the Sensations that Accompany them is a good Heuristic to help us Learn how to do that.

Till 3-4 March 20231 (27-28 February) Till 3-4 March 2023, Moon (Instincts) Out of Bounds (Magnified) North (Folks are more likely to Panic, especially in the Northern Hemisphere), from 5 Gemini through 8 Leo, likely Lighting Up your natal Planets in this Degree Zone. Moon OOB till PST 9:46 pm 3rd, GMT 5:46 am 4th, IST 11:16 am 4th, AEST 3:46 pm 4th. Till 3-4 March 2023, Icarus (Tendency to Overperform and Burn Out) Stationary (Strong) in 25 Pisces (Supreme Sensitivity to Collective Karma). When you find yourself tending to lap up too much Raw Meat from the Minia, Remind yourself that It’s Not Present Moment unless it’s happening within a few minutes and within a block or two of your house. By all means Feel it Deeply but Quickly, and then just as Quickly, Let It Go. If it Lights you Up, it’s a Mirror for your own Karma, but nobody bids Adieu to Karma by rolling in the Stories like a Dog in Roadkill. If there’s anything that’s Not Present Moment, ie, Not Real, it’s Stories. They have great Utility, but not for Letting Go of Karma, and if we Aspire to 5D we need to be Letting Go of Karma. They’ll be Back, but we Convert Flashbacks to Flushbacks by pushing the lever and Enjoying that Oh-So-Permanent Flushing Sound, if we’re Lucky enough to have Indoor Plumbing. Gratitude for that wouldn’t be Out of Order either. Station Exact PST 6:30 am 3rd, GMT 2:30 pm 3rd, IST 8:00 pm 3rd, AEST 12:30 am 4th. Till 3-4 March 2023, Saturn Waxing Unx Pluto (Opportunity to Cleanly Break Our Most Compulsive Habits, perhaps as Easily as by Earnest and Honest Intention) in 30 Aquarius (Channeling the Light into Earthly Grace with Total Presence and Total Detachment). The Initiation of this New Saturn-Pluto Cycle occurred 12 January 2020 in 23 Capricorn (Committed to Erasing Karma Ritually and Thoroughly), so we’ll want to Break any Habits that will Inhibit our Adopting this New Energy Fully. Thanks to our CAO for noticing this one! Angle Exact PST 2:21 pm 3rd, GMT 10:21 pm 3rd, IST 3:51 am 4th, AEST 8:21 am 4th.

3-4 March 2023 through 13-14 March, Moon In Bounds (Relatively greater Emotional Stability). Moon IB from PST 9:46 pm 3rd, GMT 5:46 am 4th, IST 11:16 am 4th, AEST 3:46 pm 4th in 8 Leo; Till PDT 7:32 am 13th, GMT 2:32 pm 13th, IST 9:02 pm 13th, AEST 12:32 am 14th in 5 Sagittarius.

6 March 2023, Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles) Out of Bounds (Stronger than Usual) moves into Cancer (Nurturance, Compassion) till 17 June 2023.

7 March 2023 7 March 2023, Sisyphus (Neverending Tasks) Out of Bounds (More Extreme than Usual) backs into Leo (Self-Appreciation) until 10 June 2023. Sisyphus Reminds us that the Journey is Far More Important than the Destination. 7 March 2023, Saturn (The Most Important Thing) moves into Pisces (Letting Go of Emotional Baggage) until February 2006, with a brief Test of Aries in May-August 2025. See the post https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/you-poor-sweetheart-you-dont-feel-like-celebrating-do-you/ for more information. 7 March 2023, Full Moon in 17 Virgo (An Ornery Hermit Due to Excessive Sensitivity). See the post https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/you-poor-sweetheart-you-dont-feel-like-celebrating-do-you/ for more information.

Till 9-10 March 2023, Asbolus (Intuition) Out of Bounds (Amplified) and Stationary (Strong) in 27 Gemini (Removing Our Masks). Intuition is a Skill, and the more we Practice it, the more we Learn to Listen to it. It’s always firing, but we usually Think it’s just a Thought or a shard of our Programming, and Ignore it. Not being Rude, it usually Speaks Quietly, so it’s Easy to Ignore. The next week is one of the best times of the year to Open to it. If you Listen Carefully, it’s likely to tell you what SuperPowers you’ll be Surviving on when we get to 5D (see next entry). Station Exact PDT 6:35 pm 9th, GMT 1:35 am 10th, IST 7:05 am 10th, AEST 11:35 am 10th.

11 March 2023, Juno (Growth in Consciousness) enters Taurus (Solidifying into Hard Copy) until 2 May 2023.

Till 11-12 March 2023 Till 11-12 March, Chaos (Our Unlimited Potential) Out of Bounds (Prominent) and Stationary (Strong) in 29 Gemini (Embrace of the Underwhere to Bring Light). This is who we Become after we Let Go of our Karma and Programming. You’ve been Daydreaming about it all your Life. Go ahead, Open up a few of those Doors. Station Exact PDT 7:35 am 11th, GMT 2:35 pm 11th, IST 8:05 pm 11th, AEST 12:35 am 12th. Till 11-12 March, Chiron (Despair and Miracles) Initiates Jupiter (Expansion) in 15 Aries (Freedom of Action but the Need to Be Present with Oneself). Chiron tends to be Discouraging or Depressing, till a Breakthrough occurs and Delightful Miracles Manifest. See the post https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/you-poor-sweetheart-you-dont-feel-like-celebrating-do-you/ for more information.

12 March 2023, 2 am PST becomes 3am PDT. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the Change.

13-14 March through 17-18 March 2023, Moon Out of Bounds over the Southern Hemisphere (I haven’t verified this, but based on the Northern version, I Imagine that denizens of the Southern Half of the Planet are more likely to Panic than usual). It’s not always so, but lately when the Moon is OOB S, it’s crossing early Sagittarius through early Aquarius, so watch for your natal Capricorn Plus planets to Light Up while Moon is OOB S (no matter which Hemisphere you’re in). Moon OOB from PDT 7:32 am 13th, GMT 2:32 pm 13th, IST 9:02 pm 13th, AEST 12:32 am 14th in 5 Sagittarius; Till PDT 7:22 pm 17th, GMT 2:22 am 18th, IST 7:52 am 18th, AEST 12:22 pm 18th in 8 Aquarius.

26-31 March 2023, Moon Out of Bounds over the Northern Hemisphere (Folks are more likely to Panic, especially in the North). Lately when the Moon is OOB N it crosses early Gemini through early Leo, Lighting up your natal planets in that Zone. Moon OOB N from 26th PDT 12:46 am, BST 8:46 am, IST 1:16 pm, AEST 5:46 pm in 4 Gemini; Till 31st PDT 6:41 am, BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm, AEST 11:41 pm in 8 Leo.

26 March 2023, 2 am GMT becomes 3 am BST (British Summer Time; GMT is London’s Standard Time), instantaneously. If you have a meeting scheduled for 2:15 am and you make the meeting, you may get Lost to Linear Time and emerge in another Time or Galaxy, which may turn out to be fortunate. See https://www.amazon.com/Time-Bandits-John-Cleese/dp/B0B8TNVR4H/ref=sr_1_1 for more information.

March’s major Sturm und Drang occurs before the Ides. Here’s an outline of the program. We’re hoping that it will be warm enough for Popcorn to pop by the Ides…

¹ The Impact of astroEvents – Stations (which Strengthen the Influence of a planet), Angles between planets (which Merge their Energies in various ways), and Initiations (which Begin a New Cycle in the Merger of the Energies of two planets) – kicks in ahead of the time when they’re Exact (the times listed above) – usually a couple days for asteroids, and a week or so for other planets, sometimes more. This will vary a lot depending on what else is going on – the Bigger Events (Slower planets) can crowd out other Events, though if you look closely you’ll probably find the Influence of each. It also depends on whether the Eventful planet(s) are prominent in your natal chart, or the Event occurs within a few Degrees of one of your natal planets.

The primary advantage of Knowing about astroEvents, is that it enables us to Discriminate between astrological Energies and other Energies.

People also vary in how Sensitive they are to Energy in general. A friend once told me, “I’m always aware that This Too Shall Pass, but as an astrologer, you Know When it will Pass!” Knowing that an Energy is Temporary can Prevent us from making Decisions to Protect ourself from it. If we can’t Stand an Energy and don’t know that it’s “just” an astroEvent, we can make Decisions that become Karma if we Neglect to Let Them Go afterward. For instance, we might Blame our Resistance to the Energy of the Event on some Action we took earlier, and Declare “I’ll Never Do That Again!” Bingo! Instant Karma. We’ve just added another Limit to our catalog of Unconscious Limitations.

If we Know an astroEvent is happening, or happened, and we can Identify the Energy, we can Use it Purposively, or Just Let It Go. In that case, the Energy Fades Quickly after it’s Exact. If we don’t know it’s happening and we Act to Protect our Resistance to It, it can continue in our Life indefinitely, Creating most of the Difficulties we Experience with Life. Unwinding our Karma, to find our True Self and Allow Ascension, is just the process of Identifying and Letting Go Of our Unconscious Limitations. Our Programming is probably the best Clue to Identifying our Unconscious Limitations, as we would never have Allowed the Programming if it weren’t Karmic for us.

If you’re in the habit of not reading the purple because it’s too technical, you might gain from reading the previous paragraphs.

This Crystal was used by the twelve Apophylls to Practice their Intuition, which is why it’s called Apophyllite. You can see the Crystal on the left whispering bright Multidimensional Truth into the second Crystal’s Ear, and the Dubious look on the second Crystal’s Face as he rejects the Intuition because it would Betray his Programming. Truth always Shines.

Apophyllite is actually a Mica (note the …phyll… in the name), a “Phyllosilicate,” meaning that the Silicate units arrange themselves in Sheets, with tight bonds across the Sheet, and loose bonds between them, causing Micas to cleave into their signature flat Sheets or Chips. Most Crystals form in Clusters, but a Cluster of Mica Crystals is called a Book, because when the Sheets are stacked, that’s what they look like. As molten Stone cools and solidifies, the Minerals in the Soup Solidify at different rates. The most autophilic Crystallize first, often leaving Cavities between them filled with less autophilic Minerals. The rest of the Soup Solidifies on its own timetable, either filling the Cavity with a “Massive” form of the Mineral, or not filling it and leaving the characteristic Crystal shapes we Recognize.

Apophyllite has stronger bonding between Sheets than more Mica-Morphic Phyllosilicates, allowing it to form three-dimensional Crystals, which may break between Sheets. The Cations (positive ions of the Crystal Unit) are Potassium and Calcium. The Silicate Anion (negative ion of the Crystal Unit) is usually suffixed with Fluoride, but sometimes with Hydroxide (OH). Apophyllite also contains Water embedded into its Crystal Structure. Most Apophyllite is White or Clear or Milky. The green hue in this one is probably produced by a few Copper cations thrown in.

PIAVAing Reminder 2

When I first woke up this morning, I couldn’t walk without supporting myself with my arms. My chronic low-back and hip pain have been more troublesome for the last several days, but not like this! I couldn’t even sit without using my arms to hold my torso vertical. With visions of having to Surrender to the Medical Cartel, slathering myself with Helichrysum Essential Oil and Nano CBD Oil, and gobbling Arnica homeopathics, I decided that I really didn’t have a Choice but to go back in bed. Finding a position in bed that didn’t hurt was difficult, but possible.

The second time I woke up, it was slightly easier to walk, and before going back to bed again, I located the Traumeel (which helped more quickly than the Oils), and I Realized that I needed to Focus my Attention Fully on the Pain.

The third time I woke up, I realized that while much much worse, this was the same pain, feeling like I’m being broken in half, that I’ve felt briefly for years whenever I slacked off on my multi-gram daily Boswellia (powdered Frankincense) input. I wasn’t able to think clearly enough yet to understand that, if I’ve Felt it before, it’s Karma, but I was getting close. I started wondering if I’d had Childhood Trauma in my lower back or belly, but couldn’t identify anything.

The fourth time I woke up, I wouldn’t exactly say that I was having Visions of getting cut in half by a cannonball, but the Metaphor was very Clear and Present. I was even reviewing what I hadn’t Completed in that Lifetime! And by now I’m getting close enough to the Present Moment to Ask, What have I been PIAVAing lately? Bingo. It was still challenging to walk without supporting myself, but with more Traumeel and Arnica homeopathics, the pain was now back to its usual low level.

Yesterday we PIAVAed “Grokking the Dimension of Abuse and Respect!” and “the Dimension of Self-Abandonment and Self-Love!” and a few days ago we PIAVAed that “we Lovingly and Gently Let Go of Conscious and Unconscious Guilt and Fear, and Replace it with Confidence, Due Care, and Self-Love.” Interesting that this morning my Thoughts about having to Surrender to the Medical Cartel were not accompanied by Fear and Dread. I can’t find the reference, but I remember writing (or thinking, if I never found time to write it! ) recently that some serious Physical Healing should be available to us this month.¹

Three hours later I still had low-level back and hip pain, and a little trepidation about standing up from sitting, but I had no trouble walking. Now, six hours later I’m even good for bending from the waist and lifting, picking up things from the floor, and beginning to Wonder whether this will turn out to be a major Healing of the chronic back pain that I’ve had for at least a decade and a half, and the hip pain that I’ve had for several years.

Around the first time I woke up this morning, this was happening on our friendly local Star…

.https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=14&month=08&year=2022.

It’ll take 3 days for the “Dark Plasma” to make its way to our ‘hood, but we need to remember that Scienterrific interpretations of Reality are Self-Limited to 3D, which includes Linear Time. Whether we Recognize it or not, we Operate in nD, where Energies travel not at the Speed of Light, but at the Speed of Intuition. You know someone’s going to call before the phone rings because your Intuition is picking up their Intention as it happens, while the Telephone operates at Scienterrific Speed.

In other Cosmic News, this is an “artist’s interpretation,” but it’s a good one, of Fixed Star Betelgeuse becoming a little less Fixed…

.https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=12&month=08&year=2022.

The link contains an excellent explanation of what amounts to a possible new-to-Science Stellar phenomenon they’re calling an SME (Stupendous Mass Ejection) to distinguish it from a CME (Colossal Mass Ejection). We bring this up because Betelgeuse has been Lit Up recently astrologically, and still is.² In the picture it looks like Betelgeuse is Lifting Off like an Elon, but Betelgeuse is so big it would extend to the Orbit of Jupiter if it replaced our Sun, so it will have a tonne of Inertia!

• ¹ In the 28 July 2022 New Moon chart, the New Moon itself was Merged with dwarf planets Varuna (the Life Force), Ceres (Sustainability), and Cyllarus (Death or Ego Death), all three of which are Out of Bounds (Accentuated ). It Opposed dwarf planet Chariklo (Confidence) and asteroid Lachesis (Unexpired Karma that can be Let Go Consciously), and the Opposition was T-Squared by minor planet Zhulong (the Chinese Red Dragon of Enlightenment ). I need to keep a cross-referenced log of posts and astroevents, because I’m wondering if this was an event that I intended to write a lot about but the Uranus-Karma-Nodes-Saturn Portals ate up all the time. This New Moon will impact all of August.
• ² For instance, in the chart of the 10 August Transmutation astroevent (Ka’epaoka’awela Station), the home of Betelgeuse in 30 Gemini is prominent in the Self-Resolution of the Unconscious Limitations-Intrusive Memories-Fear of Accountability Superpower/Challenge (Gonggong-Vesta-Damocles T-Square; see note 5 of the Transmuting Blame post) –
  • “The third corner of the [Gonggong-Stationary Ka’epaoka’awela-] Grand Trine is a Stellium of dwarf planets Chaos (Our Unlimited Potential ) in 1 Cancer (Surrender to Spirit ) and Asbolus (Intuition) in 30 Gemini (The Hollowness of Being Outer-Directed ), both Out of Bounds (Accentuated ), and asteroid Veritas (Truth of the Mind ) at 2 Cancer (Doomed to Reject Ego while Retaining Enough Humility to Teach Everyone Else). The Fixed Star Betelgeuse (Achievement ) Lives in 30 Gemini, adjacent to 1 Cancer.”
• Were we Assertive (Goddess Forbid! ), we might suggest that the Passage of dwarf planets Chaos (Our Unlimited Potential ) and Asbolus (Intuition) over the longitudinal position of Betelgeuse have Blasted a big chunk of the Star out! Or that Betelgeuse has Validated the Importance of the Sign Changes of these two planets from Gemini (“Random” Flashes of Brilliance, Breakdown of Former Paradigms) to Cancer (Consistent Nurturance), and in particular from the last Degree of Gemini (Codependence) to the first Degree of Cancer (Surrender to Spirit ).

“This is a time of great upheaval for the earth and those of the earth. You are feeling that earth turmoil at the same time you are clearing issues that no longer pertain to new you. A combination of unpleasant sensations that are a small indication of your Universal strength.

“Many of you question the concept that you are a god. But because of your actions over the past few months, you are beginning to understand the phrase you learned as a child that God/the Universes ‘knows every hair on your head.’ For you are sensing the pain and fear of others you have not met and never will. Sensitivities beyond what is expected of a 3D human.

“Your responsibilities no longer include sensing everyone and everything. Even though those feelings are a natural skill, that skill is not productive in your new world.

“You are not negating humanity or other earth beings. Instead, you are allowing yourself to focus on you. Your new Rubicon crossing is from caring for everyone and everything to acknowledging your needs. A concept that was touted as selfish in 3D but is a necessary element in your new world…

“In addition to negating the caretaking of those in your 3D circle of friends and relatives, you are now doing so globally. Letting go globally has been extremely difficult for you. Your recent exhaustion and/or bouts of rage indicate how complicated this phase has been.

“You trained for eons to help earth through this transition. And as you did so, you enhanced your caretaking skills beyond what would be expected of a 3D earth being. Not only did you care for family and friends, you felt the weight of the earth and its inhabitants.

” ‘Love thy neighbor’ – especially those who looked and acted like you. ‘Love and caretake your family’ – no matter what your home experiences were. Encouraging you to acknowledge internally that everyone, including the earth, was more important than you.

“Earlier in this transition, you discovered the need to allow family and friends to find their way. You are now doing something similar globally – causing your feelings of being a bad or selfish person to once again surface.

“If someone told you that you were responsible for the well-being and feelings of all earth’s inhabitants, you would ignore them. Yet, you have been enmeshed in that seemingly unattainable concept since your earth’s entrance in this lifetime…

“You are slowly realizing you cannot – and no longer want – to control everyone and everything. You are tired. You are ready to retire from parenting the earth and everyone and everything of the earth. This new earth and new you are topsy-turvy from every other earth life you experienced.

“Caretaking, with ensuing power grabs, was key to a successful 3D earth life. To shift the earth beyond 3D, you needed to play your god role of knowing what was best for the earth. Then you needed to morph again into not caretaking the earth or its inhabitants.

“You initiated that last phase by letting go of family and friends who refused to caretake themselves, and then, doing the same with the earth – a phase you are just ending. Allowing yourself to shine as a self-contained entity, knowing others are more powerful than they believe and that the earth has proved to be the same.

“It is time for you to see and sense the sun. Those following you have accepted their heavy-lifting roles. Yours are over. Relax. Play. Laugh. You have completed your challenging pieces. It is time to be a role model of contentment. No longer do you need to experience sleepless nights worrying that your family member or the earth is incapable of self-care. You are done. You have completed those roles.

“It is time for your new personal role. A role you have not accepted in any previous earth life – but one you experienced in thousands of other frequencies and dimensions. Enjoy. Play. Laugh. Your caretaking roles are over.”

• ¹ 26-27 July 2022, Uranus (Soul ) in 19 Taurus (Giving Up Self-Image) Initiating (Beginning a New Cycle with) the Moon’s North Node (Lifetime Mission) while the Moon’s South Node (Held Emotions) in 19 Scorpio (Driven by Spirit but Plagued by Doubt ) Merges with (Conjoins) asteroid Karma (Karma) Out of Bounds (Exaggerated ) in 20 Scorpio (Dedicated to the Path but Challenged by Spiritual Pride till Spiritual Guidance Reigns). 19 Taurus (South Node) is home to (Merged With) the Fixed Star Zuben Eschamali (Social Reform with Corruption or Need for Status by the Reformers).
• As long as Light-Workers have 2D or 3D Expectations for What 5D Planetary Evolution should Look Like, the Evolution will in their Obstructed view be Corrupted. The Uranus-Karma Nodal Axis is Squared (Annoyed – it’s a Grand Cross, in Earth Signs) by the Opposition (Debate) between asteroid Arachne (Grandmother Spider Who Weaves the Web of Life) in 17 Aquarius (Maintaining Tradition) and Mercury (Awareness) in 15 Leo (Individuation). 15 Leo (Mercury) is adjacent to (Entangled with) the Fixed Star Accubens (Resurrection).
• The Uranus-North Node Merger chart makes a Grand Unx – 12 planets more or less equally spaced around the Zodiac, or three Grand Crosses and four Grand Trines. An Unx is one twelfth of something; the Twelfth Harmonic is about Pattern-Breaking. A Grand Unx is Self-Resolving, meaning we need to sit back and Observe, and not try to Intervene, because the astroevents are occurring at a Higher Vibration than our Intervention would be, and we’d just Screw it Up.
• Mars (Action) in 15 Taurus (Iterative Surrender) Conjoins Uranus and North Node, causing many astrologers to worry about Violence and Disruption. Yes, the Lower Vibration of Mars can be Violent; it you Encounter that, Raise your Vibration (try Kegels for starters). And yes, Uranus is Disruptive, but it only Disrupts that which the Soul no long has use for, so it’s Good Riddance. Thank it for its Service while it was Useful, and wish it Goddess-Speed. 15 Taurus is home to the Fixed Star Menkar (Eruption), which may increase the odds of Violent Cleansings.
• ² Till 3 August asteroid Nemesis (Guilt ) is Stationary (Exaggerated ) in 1 Aries (Single-Minded, Hard-Working, Opinionated ). The Exaggeration comes with two Big Challenges (T-Squares), first to Nemesis itself from Very Heavy Challengers – OOB Ixion (Forbidden Genius Amplified ), OOB Chaos (Exaggerated Superpowers), OOB Asbolus (Exemplary Intuition), Hybris (Pride, Hubris), and second, to our Transmutational Rebirth (Haumea Conjunct Ka epaoka awela) from Not-Insignificant quarters – Pluto (Compulsion), Cyllarus (Death), Kassandra (Disbelief ). But both are Doubly Self-Resolving, so No Worries if we Stay Out of Their Way. We’ll Flesh these Out in a later post.

Artesian Spring

Asteroid Artesian, by the way, is minor planet number 296819. You’ll need that number to find it on True Node http://www.true-node.com/eph1/ or Serennu https://serennu.com/astrology/ephemeris.php or the like, so you can look up where it was when you took the lift down from the Lightworkers’ Lounge. I tried putting Artesian to work earlier today, pouring my remaining Unconscious Resistance to one of my Heart’s Desires into Niagara Falls, then Imagining my Artesian Spring blurbling out What I Want instead – to finish rebalancing my budget after a big reduction in input last year. Next thing I knew I was in my chair slowly waking up from a Sound Sleep! Now that’s Powerful Information about Whatever I’ve been Denying! So I tried the sequence again with more Focus, this time to Visions of pleasing abstract Patterns in stunning blues and greens, and no Sleep. Progress with the Unconscious is always Weird.

Yesterday I allowed myself to sleep in, and missed the first two hours of the Farmers Market. I needed GF Bread, Eggs, and Spinach, which are usually sold out by that time. So on the way there I Asked my Artesian Spring to Bubble Up some of each. Spontaneous Kegels helped it along. Sure enough, when I got to the Market the GF Bread was all sold – but the Baker had more at his shop and had already sent someone to retrieve more! Then some of the best Eggs were still available, and some great Spinach, and I scored an assortment of Greens for my next batch of Green Soup, and picked up the Bread on the way out! Go Artesian!

We’ve spoken about how 🦨Pootin’ has left us with a sense of Powerlessness, but when we add asteroid Artesian to the 21 February 2022 chart of Climate Change et al, it links two of its non-Self-Resolving Challenges with Dumb-Luck Grace, and adds a Mystery School to the third.¹ The Mystery School’s Advice is to Forget everything we Think We Know about Manifesting Healing, and Open our Heart to Learning how to Directly Integrate Healing Karma and Respect. In other words, we aren’t Powerless at all, we need only Enlist our Artesian Spring and Specify What We Want. Remember that this 21-22 February chart describes the whole New 150-year Cycle, and especially the next 60 years while we work to Shift the Planet from Divisive, Predatory, and Destructive Profit-Motivation, to Collaboration and Community with the Victims of our Avarice – one another and the Natural World.

We’re entering a busy two weeks.

Be on the lookout for Despair between now and 8:21 am PDT 19 July,² and be Mindful to Respond with Poor-Sweethearting or the equivalent. The prognosis for this event is Fantastic, so don’t let any Discouragement Karma drag you down. Toss it over your favorite Waterfall, and Let Your Artesian Spring Bubble up Miracles instead. If you don’t Expect it to work, it won’t, so Intend to Believe that it will with All Your Heart.

Also in the 19th, at 6:00 pm PDT, our Unlimited Potential Changes the way it Manifests, from Flexibility to Compassion.³ This is a big Change, since our Potential has been Ambiguous since 2000. It’ll be Nurturing until 2042. Keep your Eye on, and Trial your Beliefs about, your Best Superpower Fantasies until the Ides of October 2022, because between then and the end of May 2023 we’ll be Reviewing everything we Learned about our Superpowers while they were Dancing around in all their many costumes. After that we’ll get Serious about Mothering them into their adolescence. They move into Self-Assurance in 2042.

Also also on 19 July, the nature of our Guilt Shifts from Self-Pitying to Integrity after 8:26 pm PDT.⁴ From mid-August till year-end we’ll be Reminded of everything we Learned about our Guilt since April while it was Recycling Emotional Baggage. We’ll have nine months to Practice Eliminating our Guilt by simply Acting and Speaking with Integrity. The more we can Choose Yintegrity the better, because Yangtegrity always includes Guilt about Self-Abandonment.⁵

Until 8:08 am PDT 21 July, we’ll be Swimming in Denial that Asks to Be Revealed for What It Is.⁶ Denial is a psychologically Healthy Strategy for postponing Important True-Self Recovery work that we aren’t yet Ready to Complete. Be mindful that some people will accuse you of Denial when they’re Projecting their own Unconscious Denial onto you. Don’t Fall for it. You’ll Open up Gracefully to your Denial when you’re damn well Ready. You’re getting close when you notice that you’re starting to think that someone else is in Denial about something, which something will Resemble your own Denial, though it’s almost always through a Funhouse Mirror. Accept only the Revelations that come from your own Inner Guidance, and Reject the attempts of Others to Manipulate you.

At 4:22 pm PDT 23 July, the Moon goes Out of Bounds to the North, until 12:04 pm PDT 28 July,⁷ an hour after the New Moon. Folks are more likely to Panic about things during Out of Bounds Moons, especially when they begin. They get into Thinking about the Stories they make up to Explain their Emotions, instead of Feeling them to best harvest Insights from them. For instance, Wall Street often Panics at Moon OOB N, though this time they’ll have a day and a half to think it over before the Market opens to the peons on Monday. On the other hand, the FRB will announce new higher interest rates on 27 July, so everyone will be busy Overthinking.

Sai Baba

As July winds down, Growth in Consciousness is emphasized in Pisces through 24 July, though maybe we should call that The Need for Growth in Conscious- ness. The actual Growth is optional. As we’ve written about earlier, Our Soul and Our Life Mission Merge during the last week of July – what an Oppor- tunity! We need to make the most of it.

Through the 28th we have a Strong Emphasis on Expansion in Aries, and on the 28th an Out of Bounds Leo New Moon with four Strong themes, all Self-Resolving, revolving around Health, Enlightenment, Libera- tion, and Climate Change et al.

More details to follow.

• ¹ The 21 February Pholus-Quaoar (Climate Change et al) Initiation chart featured three non-Self-Resolving T-Squares, to Moon-Zhulong, Pandora, and Pholus-Quaoar itself. Asteroid Artemis at 6 Taurus completed the Moon-Zhulong Grand Cross, converting it from a Challenge to an Inconvenience. It completed a Grand Trine connecting Pholus-Quaoar and the Hopi-Thereus foot of the Pandora T-Square. It Quincunxed Pandora and the Makemake foot of the Pholus-Quaoar T-Square, creating two Tricolor Mystery Schools. Basically, we Win by forgetting everything we think we know about Manifestation and Hope, and Opening our Hearts to Mystery.
• ² Chiron Stationary in 17 Aries. Two T-Squares, one to Arachne (the Web of Life) in 19 Aquarius and the other to Altjira-Aletheia (the Heart’s Truth about the Source of Life) in 18 Gemini, are Self-Resolving, and with Narcissus in Libra share a Grand Trine. 8:21 am PDT 19 July is 4:21 pm BST 19 July in London and 1:21 am AEST 20 July in Brisbane.
• ³ Dwarf planet Chaos moves from Gemini to Cancer, revisits Gemini 15 October 2022 till 27 May 2023, and enters Leo in 2042. It’s been in Gemini since 2000. That’s 2:00 am BST 20 July in Liverpool, and 11:00 am 20 July AEST in Sydney.
• ⁴ 4:26 am BST 20 July in Glasgow and 1:26 pm AEST 20 July in Hobart. Asteroid Nemesis moves from Pisces to Aries. It’ll revisit Pisces from 18 August till 30 December 2022, then enter Taurus in March 2023. It’s been in Pisces since April 2022.
• ⁵ Yintegrity means we Do and Say what we feel like Doing and Saying, moment to moment, though this works well – without Rudeness and Destructiveness – only after we’ve Learned to Live from our True Self. Till then, we use Rudeness and Destructiveness to Identify and Repair our True Self’s Unhealed Wounds. Yangtegrity means that we Do what we Said we were going to Do, when we Said we were going to Do it, and we Say what our Leaders want to hear. To Live with Yintegrity in a Yangtegrity World, we Minimize our Commitments, Renegotiate when we can, and Make Amends when the Relationship is Worth Keeping and Renegotiation wasn’t possible.
• ⁶ Dwarf planet Eris Stationary in 26 Aries, 4:08 pm BST 21 July in Cardiff and 1:08 am AEST 22 July in Melbourne.
• ⁷ In Swindon that’s 12:22 am BST 24 July through 8:04 pm BST 28 July. In Canberra it’s 9:22 am AEST 24 July through 5:04 am AEST 29 July. The Moon moves from 10 Gemini to 7 Leo while it’s OOB.

Ego Edges

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

💥

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁸ Klotho-Haumea Opposite Mirach-Al Rescha.

⁹ Requiem-Cyllarus Opposite Chariklo.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Via Zoom at noon PDT 29 July 2021.

With Fate and Choice Exaggerated for the last several days (asteroid Moira Stationary 22 July) in the last few Degrees of Pisces (Letting Go of Excess Emotional Baggage), I imagine most of us have been doing significant Pruning in our Karmic Garden. The bottom line for asteroid Moira is that our Karma remains our Fate as long as it’s Unconscious, and it becomes Choice, Potentially, as soon as we bring it into our Awareness. That’s “Potentially” because even after we’ve Let Go of our Karma, we’re still surrounded by the Habit Patterns that we developed over the years, and Lifetimes, to Accommodate the Karma.

For instance, suppose we always wanted to Travel, but our Fear of the Abandoning the Comfort we Know always stopped us. The Stories we heard about the Pickpockets in Rome and the heavy Rains in India and the Vampires in Transylvania, didn’t help a bit. Well, we may have Let Go of our Resistance to Travel last week, but our Habitual Thoughts about those Pickpockets and Rains and Vampires may still be a Deep-Seated Pattern – the more reps we have Believing them, the sturdier they are.

We have elaborately-constructed Justifications for every Resistance we’ve ever had, and some of them aren’t even our own. Somebody’s Grandmother caught a nasty Flu and died once, generations ago, after she went out in the Rain, and ever after whole generations of people have been told that going out in the Rain “will be the Death of you.” Even after we’ve Let Go of our Flu Karma, we still may Fear going out in the Rain – we may never make the Connection.

This is why Consciousness is so Helpful. Karma has its own Timeline, including its own natural Expiry Date, and those Expiry Dates can pass without our ever noticing them. Without being Aware that we’ve left our Flu Karma at the train station on the way Home from work yesterday, our Chances of Connecting Fear of Flu with Going Out in the Rain diminish, and our Opportunities to Let Go of Obsolete Limiting Beliefs can pass us by. This is also why it is Critical to Recognize Confusion as a Valid and Important Emotion, and Avoid trying to Intellectualize it away. Confusion means that our Habitual Mental Cage of Limiting Unconscious Beliefs – the Justifications for our Fears and Limiting Beliefs that we’ve Memorized to Keep Us Safe, is losing Strength.

What’s left behind is usually Fear – Fear that Granny has left the Cage door open and Sylvester will be home any minute from work at the Mousery. Fear is another Valid and Important Emotion that we need to Avoid Intellectualizing away. If you really were facing a Sabre-Toothed Tiger in your kitchen, you’d Know it, you wouldn’t have to Intellectualize it. Even before we’ve Let It Go, Karma is always a “Paper Tiger” (a residual Symbol of Fear, not a Current-Moment Object to be Feared). Once we’ve Let It Go, Consciously or not, it becomes a Diaphanous Paper Tiger. We don’t have to Think about it, we just have to Look Through It.

Which is why we need to Work Hard to Distinguish our Emotions from our Thoughts about our Emotions. It’s not at all as Easy as it sounds. Any time you add an Object or a Cause or a Prepositional Phrase to an Emotion, you’ve Abandoned your all-important Emotion (the Original Intuition), and walked into the Fantasy World of Thought. Nothing wrong with Fantasy, but use it to your Advantage, not to Sabotage yourself. “I am Angry at…” is a Thought, as is “I am Angry about…” and “I Fear Vampires.” The Thoughts are just part of the Mental Cage we use to Create the Illusion of Safety. When we are Truly Safe, which many of us are a good deal of the Time (any time we aren’t Thinking about whether or not we’re Safe), we have no need for Thoughts to keep out the Dangerous Windstorms.

Even “I am Angry,” without the Grammatical Embellishments, is Misleading. “I am Angry” is a statement of Identity, an Ego-Identification, not a description of Emotions. When we really want to Clarify our Emotions, it would be “I Feel Anger” or “I Feel Scared” or “I Feel Pain” or “I Feel Safe” or “I Feel Ecstatic,” no more, no less. Rather than Embellishing your Emotional Clarity with Dysfunctional Thoughts, Go Inside, Locate the Feeling in your Body, and spend time Sitting With It. There’s so much to Learn from that process, and it’s not Intellectual. If it’s difficult to Locate, Ask yourself, “What If I Did Know?” and if the Answer isn’t Immediately Forthcoming, Wait for It. While you’re Waiting, take Inventory to see if you’ve already gotten the Answer but Dismissed it Out of Hand because it wasn’t Politically Correct to your Ego-of-the-Moment.

The 23 July (7:37 pm PDT, in 2 Aquarius) Full Moon, and the two weeks which follow, is about our Confidence in our Instincts (dwarf planet Chariklo [Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt ] Conjunct Moon), and our Lust to Reconnect with our Soul (asteroid Psyche [Goddess of the Soul ] Conjunct Sun). It’s Challenged by the Red Dragon of Enlightenment (T-Squared by minor planet Zhulong)…

Just as Unexamined Thought Separates us from our Emotions, Unexamined Thought also Separates us from our Soul. Our Concepts about Enlightenment will stand between us and Reunion with our Soul. Brenda Hoffman’s recent Channeling at https://lifetapestrycreations.wordpress.com/2021/07/25/this-isnt-who-i-am-is-it/ reminds us…

“This is a confusing time. Your new world is no longer linear.  Circular is your new action word – and soon-to-be, belief. Even though that which was is no more, this new is different than you expected…

“Your new world has very few clear divisions. The deciding factors of yesterday are no more. Your actions and beliefs change daily. So it is, you are flitting from belief to belief, action to action, and thought to thought. In 3D, clear-cut delineations were necessary to promote community thought. You are in a new place in a new time, discovering that nothing is clear regarding who you are or what you believe.

“That last concept is frightening because you are not used to the freedom of thought and action while of the earth. You are now exploring new frequencies, dimensions, beliefs, and actions in Universal terms – as has been true since you were conceived eons ago. But when you were of 3D earth, you limited your thoughts and actions to fit within the accepted parameters established by others to create a 3D cohesiveness.

“That 3D cohesiveness no longer exists.”

This Full Moon Challenges our Existing Unconscious Beliefs (asteroid Vesta [Unconscious Limiting Beliefs] T-Squares the Opposition between dwarf planet Chaos [Unlimited Potential ] and the Conjunction between dwarf planets Pholus and Quaoar [Global Change]). We need to parse this furthur. Quaoar symbolizes our Survival Instincts, and Pholus represents That Which We Haven’t Prepared For, but which is Essential. And Chaos is about The Zero Point Field, or the Vacuum of Space, which in the Quantum World is a version of the Infinite Improbability Drive that Zaphrod Beeblebrox pilfered (Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe, pp.76ff). You haven’t read that yet? That’s as Unprepared as not having bothered to see the definitive documentary Men In Black. The Centaur Pholus got himself dead by Failing to be Prepared.

Seriously, any Limiting Belief is Risky these days. We have to continue to PIAVA What We Want, NOT What We Think We Can Manifest. Ice Cream for Breakfast? The Antichrist for Ambassador to Xinjiang? World Peace? Environmental Justice? Sympathy and Understanding, Harmony and Trust Abounding? What Is It That You Want? Don’t Hold Back. You’re In Charge of Your Piece of the Pie. Clotted Cream, or Ice Cream? Which Is It You Want? It’s Not a Time to Think Small.

It’s None of Your Business What Others Want for Their Piece, unless you’re Negotiating Win-Win with them and Helping each other Out. Competition and Scarcity are Obsolete; revise your Thinking toward Cooperation and Sharing instead. You don’t want to Know how What You Want might be Delivered – you’re not In Charge of that. It’s not about the Mechanisms which might Create it; many of those aren’t invented yet. It’s about What You Want Created. That and That Alone is Your Assignment.

We’ve made it through our six Cuspal July Self-Love Challenges (Stations). We have some Sign Changes in the next few weeks. Venus and Mars enter Virgo on 22 and 29 July respectively. That will be Challenging, as our Values, our Actions, and our Relationships will all seek reorientation through Ego Deaths. Mercury moves into Leo 27 July, so the Mind should Sparkle, as long as we keep it out of places where it’s way out of its League – Emotions and Enlightenment for instance. Jupiter backs into Aquarius 28 July, and Ceres moves into Gemini 31 July. Our Emotions should calm a little, and our Notions of what Sustainability means will Expand as much as our Limiting Beliefs are, if we let them.

We start August with Atropos moving into Virgo on the first – more Ego-Death-like Adjustments to Replace Expired Karma with something more Constructive. Till 2 August (4:23 pm PDT) we’ll be Feeling our Consciousness continuing to Expand (asteroid Juno Stationary in 9 Sagittarius) to fill the Voids Created by the July Demise of our Self-Judgments. Then we pretty much Get A Break till the Ides of August, though the subsequent Exaggerations of The Truth of the Mind and Descent of Soul (Stations of asteroid Veritas and Uranus 19-20 August) are likely to Expand to fill the empty space.

Busy Week

It’s been a busy week, but unfortunately Life intervened, and I haven’t had time to do the play-by-play, so we’ll have to play Catch-Up. We strive to help youalls see the correlations between what the planets are up to and what your Inner and Outer Circumstances are up to, though, and that’s easier in retrospect anyway, so Catch-Up is my middle name. If you can come to discern how the correlations operate in your own Life, that’ll serve you far better than someone else’s predictions ever would. Someone else’s predictions are either based on some ossified textbook, or on their own Lived Experience, which may be far removed from your own.

The Biggest astroevent here is the 7 March 2021 (8:30 pm PST) Exaggeration (Station) of the Energy of Unlimited Potential (dwarf planet Chaos), in 27 Gemini. The planet Chaos doesn’t stand for Disorder, it stands for What came before Zeus put everything in Order. That is, the Matriarchy. Gemini is the quintessence of Change, and gosh, it does seem like there’s an almost Unlimited amount of Change going on. Chaos will bring Unlimited Potential to Compassion (Cancer) starting next summer (July 2022). Wouldn’t it be Wonderful if we could just Let These Things, like Unlimited Compassion, Happen. Usually, what most Evident instead is everyone’s Resistance. I suppose we could see “America’s Rescue Plan” as Resistance as well, since it’s aimed at restoring what used to be Normal. On the other hand, we could see it as a boon to help get things Changed in our individual and institutional Lives, since the money comes without strings.

One way to Feel the Energy of dwarf planet Chaos, might be to Ask yourself, “What have I been Craving?” Not Addictions, but States of Mind or Emotion or Circumstances, or Manifestation Goals. Then, “Why haven’t I been Giving that to myself?” What? It’s not yours to Give? Who’s is it then? I thought this was a Free Will Planet! Giving yourself Permission to Receive is fundamental to any Manifestation. You may have well rationalized answers to both of the first two questions (Craving and not-Giving). If you can get a handle on why you’ve been depriving yourself, you may be able to Grok what that part of you Wants, rather than what they Don’t Want. You may be able to find a way to score what your Craver Wants and what your Depriver Wants. You could even Dream Up a way that each of them could Help the Other Get What They Want. But the first step is taking the Negative away from your Depriver. Maybe start by renaming them DeepRiver instead of Depriver.

And of course any progress toward Getting What Any Part of You Wants, will Trigger your Upper Limits. I can’t think of a better source than Gay Hendricks’s The Big Leap for dealing with those…

Then there’s the Out-of-Bounds Moon. This is a 22-year Cycle, eleven years In Bounds then eleven years when it goes Out of Bounds for a few days every two weeks. It’s subtle, but our Emotions are stronger when the Moon is Out of Bounds. It crossed the Tropic of Capricorn heading Southeast on 6 March at 12:36 am PST in 20 Sagittarius, Stood Still at 25:10 South Declination on 7 March at 12:40 pm PST in 11 Capricorn, and will cross the Tropic heading Northeast on 9 March at 1:36 am PST in 2 Aquarius. I know, the Moon always goes from East to West, doesn’t it. Well, not quite. You have to take a snapshot every night at Midnight to see it, but the Moon actually moves Eastward about 13 Degrees a day, while the Earth below it spins from West to East. So when we see the Moon heading West, it’s actually us heading East – at about a thousand miles per hour! Feel that 1,000 mph Breeze? Now you know why some people have decided to Trust their Senses and go back to the Flat Earth theory.

Speaking of Trust, asteroid Eurydike (which symbolizes Trust) Stood Still on 5 March (3am PST), and dwarf planet Asbolus (symbolizing our Intuitions) Stood Still on 4 March (8:15 am PST), so you may have Noticed that you weren’t Trusting your Intuitions, or Congratulating yourself because you were Trusting your Intuition! There’s a good chance we were Thinking or Dreaming about how We coulda beena Contenda! – Trusting or Mistrusting our Intuitions about our Unlimited Potential. On this Flat Earth, All There Is Is Now. That means everything that has appeared to have happened up till this Moment, was all Nothing except a Foundation for this Moment. Whether we Enjoyed Success or Learned (Consciously or Unconsciously) from Failure, it was all Perfect Preparation. Each Moment is a Fulcrum, where we can spin the wheel and Shift the Direction of our Trajectory. There’s Unlimited Potential in every Direction – which Direction will we Choose?

And finally, asteroid Pallas, which symbolizes Boundaries, left Aquarius and entered Pisces on 7 March (1pm PST). In Aquarius we were likely Overthinking our Boundaries, trying to make them fit some theory of how we thought they Should be. In Pisces, we’ll probably take them Overboard on the Emotional side, too easily Forgiving those who Transgress but with whom we have an Emotional Attachment, and being Overcasual about our Boundaries with people we aren’t Emotionally Attached to. In general, it will probably be Difficult to maintain Professional Boundaries. We can probably expect more #MeToo fireworks over the next eleven months, till Pallas enters Aries in mid-February 2022. Pallas took only three months to cross Aquarius, but it turns Retrograde in Pisces and spends eleven months there.

A ten-Degree span is called a Decanate, and each Sign holds three of them. The first third of Pisces is the Pisces Decanate of Pisces, the second third the Cancer Decanate, and the third the Scorpio Decanate. Pisces itself is about Emotional Wandering (Mutable Water). Since Emotions can be Compelling, what we Feel in a given Moment may be all we Feel. Even as we can be totally Absorbed by a different Emotion a few minutes later. Totally Clear to us, totally Confusing to Observers with a time horizon longer than a few minutes. Which is Good. That’s how Emotions work. It’s only the Intellect degrading them that would have it be otherwise.

The Emotional Wandering phase (Pisces Decanate) spans the rest of March and most of November (7 Mar-8 Apr, 22 Oct-26 Nov 2021). In the Cancer Decanate our Boundaries are likely to become more Empathetic and Compassionate. That’s April till mid-May, October, and December till mid-January (9 Apr-15 May, 6 Sep-21 Oct, 27 Nov-13 Jan 2022). The Scorpio Decanate in mid-May through August and mid-January through mid-February 2022 (16 May-5 Sep and 13 Jan-13 Feb) will likely be dedicated to Investigation and Judgment. Scorpio’s Relentless about seeking Truth, Emotional Truth that is. If you inadvertently Hurt someone’s Feelings while Pallas is in the Scorpio Decanate of Pisces, you may have a hard time convincing them it wasn’t Intentional. The Emotional Truth is that they’re Hurt, and that’s the Fact that matters.

The upcoming week is about Letting Go of Karma, as asteroid Atropos Stands Still on 10 March, and asteroid Lachesis Stations on 13 March. Atropos is about chunks of Karma that reach their Expiry Date on their own. Since Karma is what we’re Habituated to, though, that doesn’t mean that they Leave. Because it’s almost All That We Know, Letting Go can be difficult, as it leaves us staring into the Abyss of the Unknown. Bad Karma may Feel better than No Karma At All. Lachesis on the other hand, gives us an Opportunity to Let Go of a chunk that we’re sick of but that’s still Alive. Karma does not Hold us, We Hold Karma, so it’s Easy to Let Go of it. Except that the resulting Void can feel very much like “Something’s Wrong.” Watch for that Feeling – it means you’re on the right track.
