So, what about Hupers? Well, contrary to poplar opinion, Hupers are part of Nature. A small part, but one which punches far beyond its weight when it comes to Destructiveness. So yes, Hupers are always in Balance. What’s Missing when we Feel – or Are – Out of Balance, resides in the Unconscious. We can’t Rely totally on our Feelings to Inform us when we’re Out of Balance, because most of us were Programmed to Overcompensate for what our Programmers Repressed. It’s often a Cultural thing, since Cultures which Overcompensate for Anxiety or Insecurity or Fear, do so by Encouraging Conscious Aggression. Goddess Knows we could do with fewer of these kinds of Cultures, or Families, or Führers on Earth.
This is Lit Up because the planetary symbol for Abuse and Privilege, Nessus, is particularly Emphatic (Stationary) till at least PST 3am (GMT 11am, IST 4:30 pm, AEDT Qld 9pm) 27 November. Hupers get Out of Balance partly because they rely on Mental Dualities to Idealize Behaviors and even Emotions. In Striving toward “the Good,” Hupers push what’s “Bad” into the Unconscious. If anyone’s been following the Collapse of the FTX Crypt-O’Currency Exchange, they’re seeing a perfect example. “SBF” seems to be such a good Con that he may even have Conned himself. Seems to be quite a few of these Self-Con Jobs emerging from the Dustbunnies lately, Emulating that “Man from Florida Who Made an Announcement” and that gazillionaire who’s been Roasting a tiny little bird on a spit for Entertainment, and Recruiting Men from Florida.
Nothing Cons others better than the source of the word itself, Confidence. Hupers probably worship Confidence even more than they Worship Wealth, because they know that Confidence is one of the first prerequisites for Accumulating Wealth. The hallmark of Conservatism is the need to Rely on Authority, and nothing promotes Authority like Unconditional Confidence. Privilege doesn’t happen without Confidence, and Abuse doesn’t happen without Privilege. It’s the Mental Dualities that trap Hupers into circumstances like this.
When we have an Angel whispering in one ear and a Devil in the other and we have a hard time telling which is the Angel, the Way Out is Up. We Tell and Ask ourself, Ok, those are the End Points – of What Dimension? In the case of Abuse and Privilege, one Answer is Equality. If you’re dealing with Sexual Abuse and the protagonists are Equals, you’re just Playing Doctor, or some adult equivalent. There can of course be many Answers to the What Dimension? Question, and most of them will be Useful to some degree. When we look at Abuse and Privilege as an Equality issue, the Power Dynamics become Obvious, and most of them can be Traced to the Patriarchy.
The Classical Crystal for representing Equality is Clear Quartz, pure Silicate, like my personal favorite Diamantina Quartz, or my second-favorite, this Record-Keeper Corinto Quartz…

Just less than half of the Earth’s Crust is Oxygen, and just over a quarter is Silicon, adding to 75% of the Crust. Add other elements to the mix, and Silicates comprise 95% of the Crust, though only 12% is Quartz. Silicon and Oxygen combine as SiO4 tetrahedrons, with the Silicon nucleus in the center of four triangles pasted together at the edges, like at right. An Oxygen nucleus sits at each of the four corners. Quartz is a tektosilicate, where the tetrahedrons arrange themselves in a three-dimensional matrix.
The overall ratio in Quartz is SiO2, because each Oxygen nucleus is shared between the Silicon nucleus in the current tetrahedron and the Silicon nucleus of the adjacent one. Quartz is a Messenger, carrying Energy, including Healing Energy, and having unique Electromagnetic properties. Tiny Quartz Crystals are used as timing devices in all computers and communication equipment. You wouldn’t be reading this without Quartz.
There are three Self-Resolving Challenges (in astrologuese, Diamond Star Configurations, or T-Squares [red triangles] and Fingers of the Goddess [green wedges] pointing to the same place) in the 27 November Emphatic Abuse and Privilege (Nessus Stationary) chart. Like all Challenges, these become SuperPowers when we Rise to the Challenge and become Confident that we’re Competent to handle it. The Challenges or T-Squares in our natal charts usually represent Lifelong Frustrations, because the Dramas never Work Out the way we wanted them to.
Once we Realize though that Real Life doesn’t Follow our Perfect Pictures, and think about How Much Experience we have with those Difficult Dramas, and how we have Learned how to Avoid the Worst Consequences of Imperfection, we figure out that – Whoa, these actually Are my SuperPowers! Most of the time, when we stop and think about it, the Elements of Life that give us the most Trouble, are also the Elements of Life that Others Ask us for Advice about! They See and Trust our Experience with the Issue, while we don’t yet, because we haven’t Chosen to Be Confident about the Value of Our Experience.
We probably won’t have time to convert the three current Challenges to SuperPowers, unless we have similar natal Challenges, but by making the effort to Tolerate Imperfection, we can Learn a heck of a lot about these Challenges, to use in future similar Situations. All three are Self-Resolving, which means that if we can take the role of Neutral Observer and Avoid too much Intervention to Save our Ego from Embarrassment, they’ll Work Out for the Best.

The three red triangles and green wedges point to…
- 1. Mercury-Venus (Mind-Heart) with Mercury Out of Bounds (Strong) – Noticing how the Mind in its Arrogance or Privilege Believes itself to Make Better Decisions than our Heart, Emotions, and Values, and how we Abuse our Heart, Discount our Emotions, and Violate our own Values as a result! I don’t know about you, but for every minute I spend Learning to Quiet the Mind, Attend Closely to the Feelings – Sensations – in My Body that Align with My Emotion, Ask Reverently for Advice from my Body’s Ancient Wisdom, and Learning to Listen Attentively and Patiently and Impartially for that Advice, for every minute of that, I have spent and still spend days, months, years, Lifetimes Listening to My Thoughts about My Emotions, which at their very best are Fiction based on a True Story but Warped by My Programming, and more often Merely a Rehashing of My Past Failures to Learn the Wisdom Embedded in My Failures and the Failures of my Programmers.
- The base of the red triangle, Juno-Nessus (Growth in Consciousness around Abuse and Privilege) Opposite Orcus-Thereus (Pattern-Breaking Merged with Bear-Wrestling) gives us a picture of what those would-be Angels-Devils on each Shoulder are whispering in our Ears – “You’re so fucking tired of Wrestling with this Bear of a Question about whether there’s Anything You can Do Differently to Avoid this Abuse or Memory, that you may as well just Surrender to Your Forever-Unresolved Anger and Fear and Shame about it.” “No, you’ve Done that a thousand times and you Know it doesn’t help At All. There must be Something you can Do Differently, that you haven’t Thought of yet!”
- The base of the green wedge, Uranus-North Node (Soul Merged with Lifetime Mission) Sextile (Grace once we Make the First Step) Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles) tells us to whom we must Surrender in order for the Issue to Self-Resolve. Clues Galore! We might PIAVA to Ganesh that the Bear of a Question be Removed as an Obstacle. We can Ask Ourself, What If I Did Know My Soul and a Little about My Lifetime Mission – Maybe if I just Daydream about that I can Open Myself to My Own Intuition about What – If Anything – I need to Do About It.
- The long green arms of the Finger of the Goddess, namely the Relationship between Mind-Heart and Soul-Mission, and the Relationship between Mind-Heart and Removal of Obstacles, are Quincunxes (5 Signs apart), which are Mystery Schools, filled with so many Paradoxes that the 2D Mind can only Screw it Up Royally. PIAVA that we Gain Wisdom Somehow, and Change the Subject!!! Get your Mind busy with Anything Else. Otherwise you’ll condemn yourself to more months and Lifetimes Debating with your Programmed Self-Sabotage. Guess who will win.
- There are two short green lines or Unxes (1 Sign apart) on each side of the Focus. An Unx is a Get-Outa-Jail-Free card for Pattern-Breaking, an excellent time for some PIAVAs…
- Mind-Emphasized-but-Merged-with-Heart Unx South Node – God/Goddess, Please Help Me Let Go of All My Held Emotions Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely! or something like that. (See 2. Lachesis, below)
- Mind-Heart Unx Klotho-Magdalena – God/Goddess, Please Open Me to Beginning a Whole New Life (Klotho) where I Constantly Ask For and Graciously Receive Mary Magdalene’s Loving Guidance (Magdalena) or something like that. (See 3. Chiron, below)
- The Focus of the Diamond Star is at the Midpoint of Sagittarius, which is the Place where we Let Go Of Believing that we Know the Answer, and Open to Brainstorming about Alternatives, and Stop Rejecting Our Intuition (end of Taurus Duad and Beginning of Gemini Duad of Sagittarius).
- 2. Lachesis (Karma that has not Expired on its own, but which we have the Power to Let Go Of Consciously If We Choose to) – There is a Pattern or Habit or Addiction that is Stopping Us from Moving Forward, and we can’t seem to be Able to Break it. We haven’t given ourself Permission to Break it, and Permission to Accept the Consequences, which are Unpredictable. Karma is Dead. It doesn’t have us in its Grasp, we have it Firmly Grasped. Even when Karma has Expired, we still seek it out, because it’s Familiar and we Feel Lost without it. Karma is our Expectations. The last time that happened, such and such happened, and now that is happening again, and I’m Terribly Anxious that such and such will happen again. Once again, we have to Move Up! What’s really going on in Current Moment Reality? I’m Feeling Anxiety! What will I Create when I’m Feeling Anxiety? More Anxiety. So I need to find a way to Move to a Posture of Love or Gratitude or Peace or Excitement
- The base of the red triangle and the Angels and Devils Shoulding us? The Nodal Axis, with Uranus at the North Node (The course of my Life, from my Held Emotions [South Node] to my Lifetime Mission [North Node], with Soul Merged with My Mission!). Wow, that’s one Hell of a Pattern! Well, the only thing we can do is Go For It! First thing we need to do is Open up to Ego Death, because Held Emotions (the ones We’d rather Die than Feel, but which are really that We‘d (our Ego) rather Die than Feel them) won’t Let Go without an Ego Death. PIAVA that – God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, Please Open Me to the Ego Deaths I Need, Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely! Then we need to just Surrender to Our Soul and our Mission – Lord, Take Me Now! plus whatever caveats you think you need to stay Safe, the Fewer the Better. The only Ultimate Protection is Ultimate Vulnerability. Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely! never hurt nobody. This is Big – you been waiting all your Life for this! May as well Dive In Completely!
- The base of the green wedge and Self-Resolution Grace? Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles) Sextile (Grace If Only I’d Ask for it) Orcus-Thereus (No-Holds-Barred Teacher of Pattern-Breaking) – God/Goddess, Please Help Me Surrender Completely to These Unbelievable Gracious Energies and Leave All My Stress Behind! or something like that.
- Don’t Think of an Elephant, and while you’re at it, Acknowledge that the Relationship between Obstacles and Karma and between Pattern-Breaking and Karma (the long green lines) are so far above what anybody’s 2D Mind can comprehend, that you’d Never Bother to waste your time trying!
- The short green lines…
- Lachesis Unx Klotho-Magdalena – God/Goddess, Please Help Me Let Go of All Impediments to Opening Up to Beginning a Whole New Life where I Constantly Ask For and Graciously Receive Mary Magdalene’s Loving Guidance! Or something like that.
- Lachesis Unx Juno-Nessus – God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, Please Help Me Lovingly, Gently, Rapidly, and Completely Let Go of All Impediments to a Huge Growth Spurt in Consciousness around Equality! Or something like that.
- Lachesis, the Focus, is in 13 Aquarius, We Have All the Time in the World to Let Go of Yet Another Attempt by the Collective to Drag Us Back into Anxiety about Life and Death.
- 3. Chiron (Despair and Miracles) – We Know How to Handle Despair, Right? We Poor-Sweetheart Ourself! “You Poor Sweetheart, You’re Feeling Hopeless, Aren’t You.” Then we Change the Subject. Changing the Subject is important, because if we don’t Divert our Mind, it’ll Think us right back into Hopelessness. What, We Like to be Hopeless? Goddess, it’s Strangely Satisfying, isn’t it. Who are we Punishing by Feeling Hopeless? Who was it that put Roadblocks in front of us no matter which way we turned? It wasn’t their fault, they were just trying Protect us? Well of course, but it wasn’t much of a Protection, was it! Who are we Punishing by staying in Hopelessness? Is it really worth it? Wouldn’t we Get Even with them better by Stepping into Freedom that they won’t be Able to Spoil?
- The Opposition in the base of the Chiron T-Square is Ganesa Opposite Klotho-Magdalena! What a Horrible Fate, to have to Decide whether to let Ganesha Guide us or Mary Magdalene!! What, we can do both?!?!?! Hallelujah! Do you Really Think that they’d ever Disagree with one another and couldn’t combine their Wisdom into something far Better? Oh, that was your Catholic father and Anglican Mother you were confusing with Ganesh and Mary. Ok, that’s understandable. But now you’ve Let that Go, right? I mean, they’ll speak in different languages, but what Fun it will be to have Mary Magdalene whispering Advice into one Ear and Ganesh into the other! You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Overflowing with Grace, Aren’t You. Good Old Upper Limits! (Hendricks, The Big Leap)
- I’m sitting here with a nasty Squall blowing cold rain or hail against the skylight, Grateful to be Warm and Dry, when the notion of Homelessness shakes me to the core for a moment. Then I Realize, Been There Done That, Don’t Have to Do It Again! followed by But What About All Those Poor Souls Out There Right Now! So I say a Prayer for them. Then I come back to Don’t Have to Do It Again! and that’s Exciting. Another Prayer for the Others, this time with (Better) “Feeling”!
- The base of the green wedge to Chiron is the Sextile between the South Node and Orcus-Thereus, Thereus the Teacher who don’t take much flak, and Orcus the Ferocious Pattern-Breaker. I don’t mind them Helping work on my South Node at all!
- The Pattern-Breaking Unxes are…
- Chiron Unx Uranus-North Node, Breaking Patterns that would Impede Merger of my Soul with my Mission.
- Chiron Unx Juno-Nessus, Expanding my Consciousness around Equality, Letting Go of any Karmic, Programmed, or Ancestral Support for the Patriarchy.
- Chiron sits in 13 Aries, Liberation from our Mental Cage. Where do I sign?
- 4. Finally, with Vacancies in Air and Fire, the only Grand Trines (Unconditional Blessings) are in Water and Earth. Since the only T-Squares are in Air and Fire, so none of the three is Enhanced by a Grand Trine to its Focus. However, the Water and Earth Grand Trines connect the ends of all three of the basal Oppositions, helping make the three Complementary to one another. In addition, the two Magnetic/Feminine Grand Trines create a Grand Sextile (Fabulous Grace, though it requires the Initiative of the “User”). So while the Challenges are all to the Dynamic/Masculine Signs (which obviously need the Work the most), the Goddess lends her Max Grace to the pudding!
I neglected to draw in the blue lines representing the Grand Trine in Water, and I mislabeled Cancer, home to Ganesa, as Leo. Please make those corrections for me on your copy of the chart.
