(Back ground on People’s Park,
And our ruminating on the 1960’s as a positive sleeper cell, stirring now….
By ally Elana Auerbach (Uranus in sky, transiting – un-locking – the Uranus-Plus conjunction of the 1960’s…)
On August 4, 2022, CounterPunch published an open letter, stating in part: “Created, maintained and loved by regular folks for over five decades, it is an acre and a half of living history—of a time when the powerful and the greedy were called to answer for their destruction and devastation. I believe this symbolism is what the University and its allies wish to destroy; that this is the reason they insist on building new housing in the Park when multiple other properties exist for such construction.”[113] An August 12, 2022, opinion piece in Berkeleyside stated that for many years now, pro-development interests have “painted the park as a benighted, desolate no man’s land where the homeless hunker down, strew their belongings, lineup for free food, and scrape together scary lives circled by chaos and violence.” And that it is “in UC Berkeley’s interest to promote” this image.[114]
Mutual aid
Community organizations visit the Park regularly bringing supplies, food, services, and resources to the residents of the Park as well as community members. The Suitcase Clinic as well as the Berkeley Outreach Coalition visit weekly on Mondays and Tuesdays. The Cal Sikh Student Association provides clothes and meals every month. Food Not Bombs serves hot meals at the Park every day.
And here’s our lad, today’s guest, stalwart,
Perpetually Participatory
“The local Southside neighborhood was the scene of a major confrontation between student protesters and police in May 1969. A mural near the park, painted by Berkeley artist O’Brien Thiele and lawyer/artist Osha Neumann, depicts the shooting of James Rector, who was fatally shot by police on May 15, 1969.

The End of People’s Park?
By ally Elana Auerbach
The bulldozer alert went out just after midnight on August 3rd: UC was moving on People’s Park…again. The trees started to fall – first by chainsaws and then knocked over by a bulldozer. The CREEEEACK that rang through the park as each tree crashed to earth was heart shattering…. The fig tree, always heavy with fruit, was decimated and covered by redwood branches. The head of the giant, 100 year-old palm lay trunkless on the ground. Sap oozed from the cedar’s trunk where branches had been severed….”To turn a river, more and more stones must gather for the river to flow in a new direction. We can be those stones – an unwavering pole of peace and commitment to the park remaining a park. If you’re willing and able, come to the park and add yourself as a stone in the current. Against all odds, let’s envision that People’s Park is returned to the Lisjan Ohlone people – the original stewards of this land – and that People’s Park remains a public park in perpetuity.”
So, let’s explore guiding resonance…
To by-pass conditioned mind, that would have none of this astro-mytho non-sense…
Encouraging us all to be
Intrigued…
Willing and
Available…
Osha is a feisty sharp dedicated being, 83 years stalwart, swims in Alameda Bay…
All honor be upon him…And waft to him and all of us, that for which he, and all of us, be yearning….
Participatory Animism….
Evolution of 60’s polarity
to spiraling efficacy to do impossible things…
invite in that which can do impossible things…
The myriad necessary miracles…
Thai saying: “Because we were never colonized – we never lost our animism.”
Uranus now stationing on 1969 Moon – the promise of “a new continent rising out of the sea…”
And Moon exalted in Taurus now, as then…
A humming portal of connectivity…
Then the exalted dark o Moon, trines the quintessential 60’s Pluto, Jupiter, South Node, Uranus conjunction…
Pluto- 22+ Virgo, was then where Neptune was when this country was founded…
And where Neptune was when Osha was born.
I resisted saying out-loud to him, but noting to us, the lad is an agent of America’s Soul…
And 1969 Pluto was then transiting the Soulful Vision of America…
And transiting Neptune now be opposite US Neptune…
(And transiting Mercury be right there now…
Never mind me, just let the astro patterns wash over us, that we absorb whatever we need..)
That we all co-animate the desirable soulful Vision for this country-
Now…
Also love the 1969 South Node is “in a cave, overhung with twisted roots, a seeker pours over the glowing pages of an illuminated alchemical manuscript…”
Sylvia Scully says: “The South Node is what we already know how to do…take it to the North Node…”
So, we already know the necessary, sine qua non magic, to be brought into play…
Venus then, 14+ Aries, was Osha’a Saturn -“calmly weaving a magical basket out of serpents…”
He be Aquarius, incarnational agent of Saturn and Uranus, with really fun, in his chart…
And Uranus now – be where it was when Osha born…
“In the midst of a wild windstorm, a stranger walks into town, wearing a silk top hat, carrying a large black bag – the Doctor-magician-Wizard, cooperator with natural forces..”
So let’s see that in our guest, and in all of us…
Uranus will station at that degree – again!-
At end of year..
