Chart & Themes
Wow team,
good mytho-entheo conjuring
on November 19th….
(Mercury out of shadow)
“that government of the people,
by the people, for the people
shall not perish from the Earth…”
But whose roots reaching ever deeper
to the well-springs of life,
and whose branches spiral upwards,
in dendrite, fractal humming
participatory accord…
(and everyone encouraged to write
their own addendum….)
Am liking our choreography….
so far-so good…
and all cumulative,
as in Mythic Adventure…
Now
Thanksgiving
waxing Moon – Lunar Eclipse
We be engaged in Liberating Lunar Eclipse,
cleansing back (through superstition,
and dominance – will explain)…
tracking back to its original
participatory guidance…
(2 hours before the Full Moon,
her image is
“Aroused Strikers surround a factory.”
Yea! Labor Unions, and popular taking on
of corporate oligarchy…
The only archy we like is Malarky-archy…)
At Full Moon she is at the
“Quiver filled with arrows,”
distributed to each of us,
as part of our repertoire of effective cahooting.
Let each arrow be tipped with compassion –
with tyranny as its target !
on to Solar Eclipse on December 14th –
electoral college convenes
on to Winter Solstice – Jupiter Saturn conjoin
Sun-Mercury Elegba conjoin…
DC MC is
“quelling political (well it says “hysteria”
but we toss that word into the cauldron,
along with “Left and Right”, “sides”,
“lesser of two evils,” all outworn metaphors…
We keep hysteria as Meaning “very funny”
(by 1939) is from the notion of
uncontrollable fits of laughter.”)
ladle out “conniption fits” as a possible replacement
(origin uncertain; perhaps a fanciful
formation related to corruption.”…I like it.
Corruption gives us conniption fits,
that we metabolize into positive Mars)
Quelling Political Conniption fits…
January 5th – Georgia Run-off
to 12 noon
on our palindromic Inauguration 1.20.2021
no air planets, but for North Node
“A Labour Demonstration”
resonating with above.
So let’s bring levity, mirth and wit
to lighten our assignment…
Moon and Chiron overhead
in Aries quintile Pluto….
Dark wit, irresistible eloquence available,
as is opening portals between worlds…
That all our kick-but spicy mentors of
Lunar heroism, can pour forth
into the “actual” world,
with each of us as customized agents.
And thank our lucky stars –
Mercury at the especially spicy magic degree
19+ Scorpio (“Woman draws back 2 dark
curtains leading to a sacred pathway.”)
We have some rousing reverie music,
music as metaphoric mythic micro-dosing
for this participatory endeavor of …
(“Through the Shadows” from Axiom of Choice)—
trines Neptune, who sextiles Pluto,
at degree “Wo/ManWalking through a field
of Wild Lillies to a place of Spiritual Retreat…”
who sextiles back to Mercury…
But we also have a wild party to attend:
And the whole planetary pattern
like a bucket (scoops up entire knowledge
systems for a snack),
whose rim is Uranus in Taurus,
Mind of Nature,
Nature’s Evolutionary Genius,
aka “Trickster,”
and Venus in Scorpio
(whose witty Sabian is
“Opera Singer braves the storm
to attend a wild party on board a ship.”)
Spiritual retreat and wild party available…
and whatever author, story-teller, narrator,
we would like to invite to cahoot…
Wizard of Oz, Frank Baum – pretty great…
(and Rod Serling, always welcome…
and Terry Pratchett)
and what shall we ladle out of the cauldron?!
(all good, ‘cept for the nuclear…
There’s always been some guy,
proclaiming he’s a grown-up,
can make manly decisions,
and we gotta do nuclear..)

16 Ways The Pandemic Recovery Could Be Green
Notes from the Council
Mutual aid is a great thing to consider
as we move towards this Saturn-Jupiter Conjunction
government as a community co-creation
not this or that, but both or more
(see Beau of the fifth column in resources)
We’re waxing moon right now
the lunar eclipse will be Monday at 4:30 am east coast / 1:30 am pacific
which means we all can see it
a tradition in some esoteric cultures
say ‘on the lunar eclipse, may my enemies be eclipsed’
and then sometimes horrible things would happen
so let’s compost that
lunar eclipse
full moon
sun earth moon
sun projects the earth’s shadow on the moon
sometimes it turns red
and when it emerges on the other side it seems clean and new
let’s toss into the cauldron ‘sides’ ‘left’ right’ etc
just to play … and let’s toss in ‘the lesser of two evils’
Cauldron
the cauldrons of Cerridwen
is where soldiers would be tossed in and emerge rejuvenated
The Full Moon degree ‘a quiver filled with arrows’
(tipped with compassion, with tyranny as its target)
related to our bag of liberating lightning
*We are the transition team!*
and I want to invite us to assemble our dream cabinet
mutual aid, flora fauna, ancestors
Saturn – the power of defining things
Saturn mudra – banish fear – or self-possession
imagining faery dust sprinkling down and then with a snap of our fingers
‘may those things things that are resonant to me be brought forth
and those that are not … be swept from my path’
Saturn and Jupiter are already very low
they have been such great companions through the summer
and now they are beginning to sink down
Moon in Aries / Chiron / Mars / Eris
to Venus in Scorpio
Woofy Moon Mars and portals
Moon and Chiron quintile to Pluto in Capricorn
All spicy kick butt woofy moon lunar deities are available
Mercury at 19* Scorpio (accursed degree of the accursed sign)
no priesthood degree
Any Ancestors to bring in through these portals
…Iran…Rumi, Hafez, Sufis, Persia
Neptune … dreams visions imagination
trining Mercury
Dream
from old english *Dramen*
which means to dream
and also to make music
Music tonight is from Bab’Aziz .. the Prince who contemplated his soul
it begins with a blind grandfather leading his granddaughter through the desert … “those with dedicated hearts are never lost, my child”
‘poem of the atoms’ is a short lovely reverie piece
to connect with the beauty of Iran, Persia
Hafez says
the small man builds prisons for everyone he meets
but the wise woman ducks under the Moon and tosses keys to the beautiful and rowdy prisoners
the oppressor is always seeking the medicine of those who it oppresses
we’re all invited/inviting in what is humming in us?
inviting in ‘windfalls of wherewithal’ (as a new name for money)
money … mutual aid … generosity invites back more wealth
The Chart of Tonight is a bucket
Uranus in Taurus on the rim … a sleigh without snow
all the way to Venus in Scorpio
Venus … love intimacy money
the first coins ever used were created to pay the sexual healers … *
economy comes from economia – the pantries women kept
intimacy … it’s our relationship
one practice is to write a love letter to money
what money may want to be is intimacy
our capacity to participate artfully
what if we change the word ‘lockdown’ to ‘paid introspection’
kindness… ingenuity… mutual support
philanthropy …
second song from Bab Aziz
feeling all, everyone, dancing together
Francis Collins
when we hear music that gives us goosebumps, it fills us with dopamine
… a man with parkinson’s found it easier to walk with a metronome … rhythm, Saturn
… opera singer with CAT Scan, when imagining singing the whole brain lights up
Eris goddess of disruption will be lined up with Mars
if we leave it by default…
but if we participate! imaginative influence…
what would we like disrupted?
& protecting what we love
just like the Eclipse … what would we like to be eclipsed by what?
cooperating with the intelligence of everything is available
believe nothing, entertain possibilities
our next telepathic appointment is Lunar Eclipse
may anything up to no good be revealed rendered harmless and in the fullness of time be an occasional for mirth
everyone came with some sort of mission
that’s what we want to encourage and hum and resonate with
the quintile – irresistible eloquence
the ability to hum resonance in others
we are in accord
for us to hum a powerful vision
and as we animate that
we invite others in to what we invite into the world
may the path open in surprising ways
may we ally with the Genius of Nature
to disrupt anything ill-mannered
we don’t source power, we invite it

keeps dropping keys all night long for the beautiful rowdy prisoners.”

and refusal to praise. Whoever feels himself walking
on the path, and refuses to praise–that man or woman
steals from others every day…”

Re-reading our posts is such a hoot! Want to apologize to Michele for thanking Delia for the semaphore information so swiftly shared, and to Delia for typing Delta, good grief!!
And Theo, I didn’t write down your comments because comments were coming too fast and I “knew” I could read them when these notes came out – only now I can’t find you here! You referenced a couple of Persian/Iranian poets/mystics, I think? Would you mind sharing again?
Evangeline -and all – Biden’s Sec of State talked to Grover on Sesame Street, so there’s gotta be a portal in there somewhere…doncha think?!
Thanks, all, for being such a skookum team!

RE:our discussion of abundance, money, wealth–If I was to nominate a patron saint of abundance, I believe this guy would be up to the task. (I actually just read a much more complete story about him, but today this is what I am able to find. If I locate the other, I’ll post that too.)
https://philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/atlantic-philanthropies-officially-closes-its-doors
Thanks to All–Ann
Okay(please see above). . .I located the more detailed story about Chuck Feeney. He’s a pretty impressive guy to me. I became aware of his story several years when my husband, Rick, got a job helping Atlantic Philanthropies create small books to document their work as part of their preparation for closing their doors this year.
