introduced to by Michael Lerner, at Commonweal, all praise be upon him,
Confluencing of allies,
Welcome Rachel!
Political Magic…
1976 and 1952 Libra Dragons….
(and Kamala Harris Libra Dragon)
“Those who do not listen to dragons
are doomed to live out the nightmares of politicians,”
sayeth Ursula leGuin…
Let’s add the missing half –
“But those who listen to Dragons…
(fill in the blank)
are agents of participatory democratic animism…”
Note the Moon on the US Sun…
So let us speak to the Cancerian soul of America
(and was heartened to learn that the word “America,”
is actually a Mayan word meaning, “land of the winds.”)
(not Despucci land)…
remembering kinship,
gathering “like they all remembered they were kin.”
And Rachel, a charismatic televangelist by the age of 11 (Moon Jupiter)
who transformed her gifts into a larger service to community..
Neptune singleton, power of imagining,
sextile Pluto (“coal miners emerging from a dark pit into sunlight.”)
Neptune quintile Mercury, “an up-lifting symphony”
The antonym of discord.
Moon and Jupiter quintile Saturn –
capacity to speak of deep things in a conversational,
truly populist, in the old true sense of the word…manner….
First responder when Pluto enters Aquarius March 23rd.
And to take guiding auguries from the many beings.
During her campaign for elected office,
a spider insisted on staying behind her toilet,
and made a beautiful web.
Which communicated to her,
“no need to hunt, seek voters…
Make a story web to magnetize.”
And so she did…

Tyre Nichols
Moon sextile Saturn…
tis a greater grief that even the strongest of Mothers
cannot always protect their beloved children from murderous mob.
He died saying, “Look, I just want to get home.” (a mere 100 yards away)
and calling for his Mother, like George Floyd…
Remember the the Moon occulted Mars,
Mars filtered by, in service to all the Mothers!
Mars stationed on the US Uranus,
possibility of beginning the experiment in democracy…
Primal Fury
cooked into fierce protection of all life…
Here be a wowza fiery Rumi exhortational poem,
the quality of seasonal and cultural Mid-Winter, we need now…
shared by ally, Banafsheh, in her dance convening,
for her allies in Iran, to all now who rise/must rise….
to dissolve cruelty from the human repertoire…
(and in Persian there is no linguistic masculine and feminine,
so Gemini fluid…so tis all he/she, Mars/Venus)
“I seek a lover so in love
that every time she rises,
from every direction she conjures
insurrections full of fire.
We want a heart like a fiery inferno
that burns down the flames of hell.
She’d rouse and churn two hundred seas
and not flee from the crashing waves.
She’d wrap the heavens with her hands like a turban
And the light of immortality,
she’d hang like a resplendent chandelier.
She’d come to the battle like a lion,
with a heart as grand as a whale.
She’d leave nothing but the self
and battle even with her self.
And when she shines her light,
the light that rips away the seven hundred veils of the heart,
from the celestial throne she’d hear the call:
In the name of the Divine, in the name of the Divine!
When from the seventh sea,
she turns toward Mount Qaf,
what precious jewels she’d pour as gifts
unto the Earth from that blessed sea.– Jalaleddin Rumi
…
This is an extraordinary Mid-Winter:
15 degrees of the Fixed Signs are called the four gates of power,
corresponding to the four cross-quarter Holy Days,
Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasa, and Halloween.
Our Imbolc this year, has the Sun, of course at 15 Aquarius
(how we time exact Mid-Winter),
and Uranus at 15+ Taurus the Beltane degree….
The wedding between the powers of Mid-Winter,
to call in what strengthens Aquarius, Community,
and
the Powers of Mid-Spring, Taurean sensuality,
in service to Participatory Animism…
and the Full Moon at 16+ Leo, “Volunteer church choir”
contributes the Leo to the Aquarius -Taurus precise mid-winter dance…
So now we just need Scorpio to complete the fixed signs…
and we find it in beloved Donna Graham, dream Mentor,
who died last Friday. Her Venus at 23 Scorpio,
“Woman delivers a sermon on a mount.”
Transiting Neptune 23 Pisces exactly trining…
She went out under anesthesia, very Neptune…
I guess if you gotta go – might as well waft….
Tyre and Breonna’s Pluto was at 23 Scorpio…
a kidnapping by the human toxic mimic of Underworld….
But all bequeath to us to bring a live “the Sermon on the Mount.”
“Blessed are those who plant peace.”
“Blessed are those who soften emotional rigidity within their hearts
for they shall have all the power of Nature.”
