Whom Will Your Soul Inhabit

“The Big News of this Aquarius/Leo Full Moon is its square to Uranus.  Plan on an accelerating frequency, electric, unexpected, lightning shocks to the system.  Oh yeah.  Could be quite a roller coaster ride.  Keep strong in body and spirit.  Engage your integrity, clarity and higher mind.  The Great Awakener shocks us out of any complacency, laziness, or ignore-ance that has kept us living our lives in the back seat.”

So says Kelley Hunter in her Electric Lion Full Moon post at http://heliastar.com/cosmic-news/electric-lion-full-moon/.

Ignore-ance!  Brilliant!  I’ve certainly never thought of Ignorance that way!  How appropriate, when the Primary Energy in most of July and  August is about Revelation of What’s Been Denied (Eris) and Surrendering our Victimhood (Chiron and Uranus).  Before we can Surrender our Victimhood we have to Notice that we’re Choosing to Give Away Our Power.  That would make a fabulous Revelation of What’s Been Denied, wouldn’t it.

A reader last week pointed me toward another place of my own Ignore-ance, the Potential in the phrase “Up Until Now.”  Evidently psychic John Edward and Austrologer Maggie Kerr have been slipping this phrase in between a statement about the Truth of What’s Going On and an Affirmation of What We Want (see 7:33ff of this video for an example).  I’m imagining that this might be useful when we alternate Tapping and Theta Healing to demonstrate to ourself that we’ve Identified and Let Go of Resistance.  For example…

“Even though Up Until Now I’ve Felt that My Best Strategy Was to Ignore Abusive Statements, I deeply and completely Love and Accept Myself…”

“God/Goddess, Creator of All Things, I Command that I Pleasantly and Diplomatically, but Firmly and Safely, Respond with Integrity in Situations where Up Until Now I Haven’t Responded Honestly.  It Is Done, It Is Done, It Is Done.  Thank You, God/Goddess.  Show Me!“

In our process we would Evaluate the result of Show Me! and if it didn’t demonstrate Confidence and Comfort, we’d go back and Tap again, adjusting our Set-Up Statement to address whatever Resistance that Show Me! Identified.

Testing this out just now, I realize that I could stay in the Present Moment, rather than Regressing to Sibling Competition.  Instead of Reacting tartly with “It takes one to know one” or “I’m rubber and you’re glue” or “So’s your Old Man!” I could Respond with “Ouch!  That Hurt!” or even “Am I really Denying that about myself?” or “I’ll consider that possibility.”

So I might change my followup Tapping Set-Up Statement to “Even though Up Until Now I’ve often Regressed when insulted…” and my subsequent Theta Command to “I Command that I Remain in the Present Moment in Situations where Up Until Now I’ve Regressed when Insulted” and see where that takes me.

The nature and purpose of Tapping is to Acknowledge the Truth of what is Happening, in order to align the Emotional/Mental Contents in our Consciousness – and the Unconscious – with the Spiritual Energy in our Meridians.  Once that is accomplished, we’re more Free to Allow What We Want to come through.  So adding Up Until Now isn’t totally necessary.  However, it might be Powerful as a more explicit Invitation to Change.

When we look at the 3 August 2020 (9am) Full Moon (in 12 Aquarius) chart, we’ll see how this is a very relevant example, as the Fixed Star Aldebaran (in 10 Gemini), which is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse or Royal Stars of Persia, fills a very important Vacancy, and completes several Zodiac-Wide (ie, Overarching and thus Important) Configurations (Dynamic Grand Sextile, Mutable Grand Cross, Hylonome Diamond Star).  Aldebaran signifies Great Success, with the Caveat that a failure of Integrity, or failure to maintain “Purity of Thoughts and Dealings” (Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars, p.233), will result in an equally Great Downfall.

If you want to Commune directly with Aldebaran in the night Sky, it’s the very bright star to the right of Orion.  Orion’s belt points to both Aldebaran and, beyond that, the Pleiades.  (The Antichrist’s birth chart finds Urania, Tantalus, Minerva, and Pandora Channeling Aldebaran.  His Challenger’s birth chart finds Saturn there.)

Respite

Okay, done with that.  Hope your Days weren’t too “Dark.”  Surprises always have a way of popping up, but other than the 4 May Integrity New Moon, I don’t see anything complicated coming up till mid-May.  Hooray!

3-5 May will witness the Global Earth Repair Conference, featuring John Lui (who Restored China’s Loess Plateau to Health using Seaberries), Permaculture Magician Sepp Holzer’s protege Zach Weiss, Findhorn veteran Alan Featherstone, Alchemist David Yarrow, Buffalo Field Campaign founder Mike Mease, Earth Magician Rebecca Wildbear, Bee Restoration activist Benjamin Pixie, Xerxes Society Director Eric Lee-Mäder, Anti-Greed activist Vicky Robin, Jefferson Land Trust Director Erik Kingfisher, Organic Seed Alliance founder Forest Shomer, Permaculture NA Magazine co-founder Hannah Apricot Eckberg, Biochar evangelist Francesco Tortorici, Organic Consumers Association co-founder Ronnie Cummins, Friends of the Trees founder Michael Pilarski, and a long list of other Global and Indigenous environmental activists from around the World.

The plan is to live-stream the whole Conference, and to make recordings of all 160+ sessions available free on the internet as a service to the Planet.  They’ve set up a GoFundMe compaign to finance the live-streaming and the recordings, at https://www.gofundme.com/globalearthrepair-is-makingwaves.  You can find the Conference schedule, bios, live-streaming, and other details are at https://earthrepair.friendsofthetrees.net/master-schedule/.

All that said, the Arcturians are planning to take advantage of our Respite to beef up their downloads, with Energy from the Orion neighborhood this time…

https://danielscranton.com/the-orion-downloads-%e2%88%9ethe-9d-arcturian-council/

“We have sensed for quite some time that you have achieved a readiness for some new downloads, but understand that these decisions are not left entirely up to us.  We communicate with other councils and collectives, and then we approach your higher selves with our suggestions for the next set of downloads.  And not every higher self will always be in agreement with those of us in the ninth dimension.  So then, we give the downloads to those of you who have granted us permission from the perspective of your higher selves.

“We see you as your higher selves, but when we connect to that aspect of who you are, you are not always aware.  Some of you have your interactions with us directly, and you remember them.  Others travel to our dimension while asleep and have your interactions with us there, but most are unaware of these interactions.

“So the latest set of downloads that are coming in to those that have agreed to receive them are about bringing in more of the energies from the Orion System.  The Orion System has been home to some of the deepest, darkest moments in galactic history, but ultimately good triumphed.  Notice we didn’t say, “good triumphed OVER evil.”  Good did not defeat evil in the Orion System.  Good magnified its light to such an extent that there were massive conversions to the light.  And so, when you receive these downloads, you do get all of that, but you also get the rest.

“You get the oppression, the slavery, the war, and all the rest.  So it means that there will be some processing with these downloads, but that ultimately there will be great amounts of integration, and there will be even greater amounts of light that you will receive.  So if you begin having dreams or memories of those lifetimes in the Orion System that were so significant, then you know you are one of the ones that gave that consent from the perspective of your higher self.  Others of you may still have given that consent, and will receive the downloads, but will unpack them when you are ready.

“Either way, we know that all of you who are receiving the downloads can handle them and that they will ultimately bring peace and harmony to the human collective, because if the Orions could do it, anyone can.”

If your “Dark Days” were terrible, be sure to take a rest here.  You can always “unpack” the downloads “when you are ready” and rested.  Burnout serves no one, and pushing ourselves beyond our Endurance can actually set us back.

Even the 4 May New Moon is pretty Benign.  The most intense part is Transcendence of the Limits on how much we Own our own Power instead of being Compelled to Give it Away or tailor our Behavior to the Reactions of Others.  Nothing to rue there, except maybe some Resistance to Re-Experiencing old Bummers.  Welcome them, as it’s all about Letting Go.  The Transcendence is based on Realignment of our Boundaries and Beliefs (Hylonome/Bee-Zed T-Square on Vesta-Pallas Opposition).

The Current nine-year Cycle of Transcending Codependence (Bee-Zed to Hylonome) began back in mid-September 2018 at 8 Capricorn, “In a Sun-lit home domesticated Birds sing Joyously.”  Domesticated Birds!  So much for Transcending Codependence.  But remember that deep in the Psyche Opposites are Equal, because the Unconscious doesn’t Recognize Direction, only Dimension.  So we can Interpret this Cycle as Becoming Aware of our Codependence.

And of course as we pointed out earlier, the New Moon occurs in front of the Fixed Star Aldebaran, which Demands Integrity from us.  Remember that you can Choose Yintegrity (Doing What You Feel Like Doing Moment to Moment).  You don’t have to Choose Yangtegrity (Doing What You Said You’d Do).  Choosing Yintegrity just requires frequent Renegotiation and occasional Amends.

To help us celebrate our Respite, Mom has given us some “naked-eye Sprites” – Lightning that occurs above Thunderstorms, connecting the Thunderhead to the upper layers of our Atmosphere on the edge of Space, and usually not so easily viewed from below…

Or maybe Musk or Bezos has gotten a few of their Mars Junkets ready ahead of time without telling anyone.  Or maybe just more Alien Ships, eh?  Orionites even!

 

“Dark Days” 1

Sorry to be AWOL for the last week – I’ve been waaay too busy with Necessities.  As you know from earlier posts, the theme of the last week has been Health and Self-Sovereignty – Hope you’ve improved on both counts, or you can use any Untoward Experience to help define for future reference how NOT to improve.

By now we’re working up to a Soulful Full Moon (Sun Conjunct Uranus) that aims to Teach us all about Transitions (Cusps).  We Enjoy Changes for the Better, but other Changes, not so much.  Not that we’re Transitioning into “Worse,” but we are Transitioning into More Intense.  For example…

• The Full Moon itself sits on the Cusp of Scorpio, which is about getting our Fill of Meeting People, and beginning to try to Discover why the Experience hasn’t been as Fabulous as we’d hoped.  If you deal with this as your own Anxiety (ie, Tap It Out) rather than Judging other people for their “Faults,” you’ll be waaay ahead.

• The Full-Moon Sun sits at the end of Aries (Raw Creativity), along with Uranus (Soul) in early Taurus (having to make our Creativity Pay Off).  That can be a lot less Fun than just Playing.  However, it’s not about “Paying Off” Materially, it’s about Paying Off in terms of Learning to Accept Who We Really Are.  While that will likely require Letting Go of Who We Thought We Were, the Rewards will be Immense.  “katie” has a whole essay on this for us, and it’s a good one…

https://roseandcactusquartz.com/2019/02/28/know-your-worth/

• The Full-Moon Axis is Challenged (Squared) by another Contrast (Opposition), between on one hand Realizing that our Health doesn’t Happen To Us, it’s actually Created by our own Beliefs (Varuna on the Cusp of Leo), and on the other hand…

• Our Trust in Other People, especially People Who Aren’t Like Us (Eurydike-Hopi on the Cusp of Aquarius).  Sounds Oxymoronic, or just Moronic, that we’d Contrast Health with Trust in Others, kind of an Apples-and-Oil-Changes sort of Comparison.  But astrology does that frequently, to keep us from Preferring our Dualistic mind-Map to Multifarious Reality.  In this case we might, just to dream up an example, Realize that Feeling a Need for Support from Others could be a Motivation for Feeling Poorly.

• Worse (because it’s a T-Square rather than a Grand Cross), we do have some Major Ego Deaths scheduled, as we’ll be Finishing Up a Whole Catalog of Emotions, and Starting out on a Whole New Way of Thinking (the focus of the T-Square is Mercury-Venus-Klotho on the Cusp of Aries).

• The first Challenge (Square) to this is some potentially Painful Shifts in our Consciousness (Nemesis-Juno on the Cusp of Cancer).  Deal with these using Self-Empathy will pay dividends – eg, Poor-Sweethearts… “You Poor Sweetheart, you’re Feeling [Ungrounded][Out of Sorts][Confused][Hurt][…], aren’t you.”  Remember to Change the Subject afterwards, repeatedly if necessary.  And Remember to Banish Blame.

• The second Challenge (Square) to our now-Obsolete Feeling and Thinking Patterns is a Renewed Sense of Responsibility to our Unique but Latent Genius (Ixion-Pholus on the Cusp of Capricorn).  Give your Emotions and Thoughts the Assignment of coming up with Practical Baby Steps toward Expressing and Using your Unique Genius.  You don’t need the “Violence” of Coming Out All At Once, you can just take One Small Step every day, so there’s some Continuity between your old PC Self that Others are Comfortable with, and your new True Self that may be Shocking to some of them (the T-Square creates a Vacancy on the Cusp of Libra).

• Finally, Change is Scary (Sedna on the Cusp of Gemini), especially when the Change is aimed toward Increasing our Self-Sovereignty (Sedna Squared by Lilith on the Cusp of Pisces).  Folks who base their Security on our Meeting their Expectations will need to go through all sorts of Changes themselves as we start to Affirm Who We Really Are.  They could easily Express that through Anger.  What if they’re our employer or customers?  Trust that you’ll get more mileage out of Self-Worth than you ever would out of Giving Away Your Power, even if the Transition is rough.

• That’s ten of the twelve Cusps.  The other two are about the Enormous Grace available to us if we simply Accept That Big Changes Are Happening (the Cusp of Virgo completes a Grand Sextile) and if we Surrender into Letting Go of What’s Become Obsolete (the Cusp of Sagittarius Completes a Grand Unx).

Remember the “Grand Unx”?  That’s when twelve planets are more or less evenly spaced around the whole Zodiacal Loop.  We only have nine of the twelve here, but we’ve made credible cases for including the other three.  (Well, okay, they aren’t all planets per se, but they’re all strong Symbolic Points.)  An “Unx” is one twelfth of something, and the Twelfth Harmonic is about Pattern-Breaking.  That means that if we Look Forward, with Gratitude and even Excitement, to Who We’re Going to Become on the Other Side of the Changes, we can Thrive in what might otherwise be Difficult Circumstances.

This 19 April (4am PDT) Full Moon sets us up for two weeks that Ego-Fluffing, Materialistic, and Victim-Oriented astrologers will refer to as Dark Days, as they’re Dominated by Dances between Pluto (Ego Death / Trance Re-Formation), Saturn (Limitation / Prioritization), and the South Node (Karma / Recovering Lost Skills).  Chariklo (Threats to / Enhancement of, Self-Confidence) joins in.

While we might Experience all this as Deaths and Doubts caused by Limitations and Karma, we have the Option to Reframe it as a Nascent State of Consciousness filled with Enhanced Self-Worth, brought about by Attention to our Highest Priorities and by Letting Go of our Habitual Self-Sabotage.  The 19 April Scorpio Cusp Full Moon, if we Listen Carefully to Her Lessons, will set us up to “Win” this Portal, which is important because…

The following 4 May New Moon at the Midpoint of Taurus adjoins the Fixed Star Aldebaran, Harbinger of Spring (Dawn, Rebirth, Change, Revolution) and one of the four Royal Stars of Persia, symbolic of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  Each of these four Great Stars Promise “Great Success” as long as we Avoid one Vulnerability that is the Downfall of each…

“In the case of Aldebaran, this challenge is one of integrity and honor.  Greatness can be achieved but the individual will be challenged on issues of integrity and purity of their thoughts and dealings.  If they fail this test they will lose everything.”  — (Bernadette) Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars, p.233

13.12 Full Moon VI

The Full Moon “Occulted” (moved in front of and hid) Aldebaran last night.  An Occultation is a Conjunction on steroids, so the Full Moon will test us on our Commitment to Integrity (Yin or otherwise, probably both)…

“The four royal stars of Persia are all very powerful stars and each one offers the possibility of glory, success, or happiness, but only if a particular nemesis can be overcome.  In the case of Aldebaran, the challenge is one of integrity and honor.  Greatness can be achieved but the individual will be challenged on issues of integrity and purity of their thoughts and dealings.  If they fail this test they lose everything.”  –Bernadette Brady, Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars, p.233

Find details at http://www.universetoday.com/132234/week-occultations-aldebaran-regulus-vs-supermoon/ .  The article also points out a Lunar Occultation of another of the Royal Stars or Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Regulus, on 18 December.  The nemesis associated with Regulus is the urge toward Revenge.

Aldebaran is at 11 Gemini in the Tropical Zodiac, New Opportunities, and Regulus at 1 Virgo, Exaggeration of Unusual or Identifying Characteristics.  If you have natal planets near those Degrees, the impact on you may be Strong.

Full Moon 29.11b

The New Moon itself will be a Big Challenge to the Ego and the status quo.  It occurs within a few arcminutes (ie, very little – one eighteen-hundredth of the Zodiac) from Juno, which symbolizes the Edges of Consciousness.  In other words, over the next three weeks we’re going to have to work like Hell to keep from Learning and Growing.  Don’t forget that this is in the context of the previous post.

In addition, it’s also Conjunct asteroid Nemesis.  The mythic Nemesis is about Punishment for Hubris.  If you’re Manifesting your True Self, and you’re not saddled with a Punishing God Image, you won’t demonstrate Hubris; you’ll be Enjoying Power-With “the Gods” rather than Power-Over.  So what then constitutes Hubris?  Trying to operate from the Ego rather than the True Self.  This is kind of like a “pop quiz” – we’ve been studying Mask Removal for almost five years now, and “Reality” is about to deliver to us homework on anything we’ve skimmed over.

If we ever wonder what we’re doing here and why, all we need to do is look at the Moon’s Nodes.  The South Node shows us the Emotions and Inertial Patterns that Limit us, and the North Node shows us what we need to do to Liberate our Self.  Hidden behind the Emotions and Inertial Patterns represented by the South Node are the Unclaimed Skills we need to achieve our Liberation.  We can’t do it without both.

Well, this New Moon also T-Squares – Mastery through Challenge – the Nodes.  So whatever Crisis the Ego undergoes will be an incredible Teaching about why we came here and what Unfinished Business we still have.  But a big sign on your bathroom Mirror –

??    VICTIM?    ??

 

 

and on your smartphone screen, and every time you see it,  check yourself.  Are you in any sense Feeling Victimized, by anything?  Is there anything in your Life that isn’t completely your own Choice?  This is what we’re working on for the rest of 2016.  If we do this homework, it doesn’t need to be difficult – other than the Ego Death, but we’re used to that, right?

“You poor Sweetheart, you’re Feeling like a Victim around that, aren’t you.”

“Great Spirit, please help me to Lovingly and Gently and Rapidly and Completely Embrace all traces of Victimhood within my Energy Field, and Let It Go for good.  Thank you, Great Spirit!”

Look to see if there’s any Residual Emotion around it, and Tap it Out.  Go through the PIAVA list and pick out the one or two Choices that seem to fit best in the moment.

It’s not just the Nodes – Neptune is on the South Node, meaning that the Veil is very thin here.  This is good, because it gives us direct access to what would usually be hidden from us.  It may Feel horrible, but that’s just Ego Death, you’ve been through that so many times before, you’re no stranger to it.  Embrace it, look beyond it and Imagine how much better your Life will be without those Limitations.  Of course it’s Scary; keep Tapping on that till you’re shaking less and Feeling a little more in Control.  Then do your PIAVAs.

“Ganeshi, please Remove All Obstacles to my Being Fully and Effortlessly Responsible to Everything in my Life that I have Chosen.  Thank you, Ganeshi!”

If you’re Responsible (able to Respond) to what you’ve Chosen, you won’t even have to think about it, you’ll just Act in your own Interests.  If your Choices aren’t the right ones, it should rapidly become obvious, and you can make different Choices.  If you’re being Responsible to things that you haven’t Chosen, that will fall away.  Don’t Hesitate to PIAVA these Changes if you Feel the Need.

And dwarf planet Orcus is on the North Node.  Orcus’s job is to Punish Oath-Breakers.  Nemesis’s big brother, the Bully.  You don’t need Oaths to Commit to your True Self.  Most Oaths are Self-Betrayals, and most of them have been outside of our Consciousness – till now.  At the Time, we needed them for our Safety, then we forgot we made them.  Now they’re just chains around our ankles and we can Let Them Go.  Orcus’s Punishment is Guilt, and you need to Stand Still for it.  Expect it, Locate it in your Body, be Loving with it there, “poor Sweetheart” it, PIAVA your Freedom.

So this is a Big Deal, kind of a Culmination of all the Work we’ve been doing all our Life.  Bigtime Learning Opportunity, Bigtime Mystery School, Bigtime Recovery of our Genius, Bigtime Karma-Buster, Bigtime Consciousness Goose, Bigtime Life Progress Review.  And that ain’t all.  The New Moon T-Squares the Nodes.  So what lies at the Vacancy Opposite to it, that would make it a more Balanced Grand Cross?  Vacancies represent what we need to provide, Consciously, to complete the circuit so the Energy can flow.

Aldebaran.  The Emperor of Stars, King of the Four Horsepeople of the Apocalypse.  Meaning Integrity.  From what I read about Aldebaran, they don’t mean Yangtegrity, they mean Yintegrity.  It’s not about keeping your Commitments to Other, it’s about Committing to the True Self.  Intense.  If you find yourself starting to Act to “Save Face,” stop yourself in mid-sentence and change course.

Above all, this is about Learning.  Look and Learn, Observe, eschew Judgment, eschew Conclusions.  Be Present and Loving with All of your Emotions, but don’t Identify with them.  Watch them, Embrace them, Feel them, don’t Be them.  Tap them Out if they’re Strong.  Be quick with your Cancel-Neutralize-Upgrades when you spot negative or compulsive thoughts.  

Sappho – Self-Love, recently Reborn, enters Scorpio on 27 November.  Scorpio is Relentless.  We’ll be extending Self-Love deeply into the Self, ferreting out any Obstacles to it, and taking no prisoners.  When you find an Obstacle to Self-Love, Avoid Judgment.  Self-Judgment is the antithesis of Self-Love.  Tender it a thousand Blessings, and Let It Go.  If you need to do that a hundred times before you’re able to Let Go of It, do it a hundred times.  Feel the Grief, the Regret, the Pain, but Let It Go.
