Yvette Buigues will be my guest today as we honor Flora Fauna and deepen our participatory animism…. that we may be worthy of our kin… as all chauvinism and human cruelty, war on life, are on trial now. Whatever our rogue species does to our kin, will happen to our community – So let’s renew our respect for life, by approaching the world with informed reverent curiosity, “What’s your story? and how can we cooperate?” Including Viruses, largely arising by our rogue species lack of respect for boundaries and home/habitat. April Fools Day – so we include Animal Humor!

“But biologists, like psychics, tend to believe that we vastly underestimate animal intelligence and the intricacy of their emotional worlds. Animals can cry and joke; they can hold celebrations and burials; they feel jealousy and monogamous love. Many animals understand justice and unfairness (a baboon will be happy with lettuce for a reward until he sees that his friend has been given grapes, a far tastier prize). A trendsetting Zimbabwean chimpanzee named Julie once decorated her ear with a blade of grass, and fellow chimps adopted the fashion as though she were a middle school It Girl. Bowerbirds, meanwhile, adorn their homes with attractive objects in order to entice a mate, painting rocks with berry juice to make them more beautiful. Dolphins call one another by name, while chickadees and prairie dogs form complex words using a kind of additive grammar. Crows recognize the particular proclivities of their beloveds, and, as I now know, seek retribution for perceived harm.”

So Tis Maundy Thursday – Last Supper, before Good Friday, Crypt Saturday, Easter Sunday
Two of the most terrible events in Alaska, happened on Good Friday,
cause the gods would like to get our attention.
The Earthquake. And the Exxon Valdez ecocide,
in which the fishermen said, the animals died for our sins…
Maundy means “command.”
and the command that night from Jesus was “Love each other, damn it.”
Uranus in Taurus’ degree is “A Red Cross Nurse –
willingness to go into tough situations…”
large spiral galaxy NGC 1232 in constellation Eridanus (The River) credit ESO
square our gorgeous rising 6+ Leo:
“the constellations of the night sky glow blazingly in the desert –
the endless unfolding wonder of the Universe…”
Leo Creativity not so much for performance as in ritual theatre with the Earth.
Mercury Neptune – Guiding Dreams of participatory kinship available….
to implement with Chiron (new expression for old symbols,
Sun, defusing dangerous situations,
Venus, Indian Woman weaving a magical basket out of Serpents.)
Ceres, Life as a grand adventure…
all sextile Mars – our woofiness, trine back to Saturn…
Our dedications now are particularly effective….
Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis (Fairy Tale of Kings) 1909
The dedications we make now,
may well come to fruition when Mars trines Jupiter,
mature wisdom, not reliant on approval from humans.
April 12th, 13th, 14th…
Mercury is semi-square Uranus and Saturn,
betwixt them both, that we overcome impediments to be voices for what we love..
Awoooo!
One Thousand and One Nights (Shérazade et le sultan) Sani ol-Molk
Power of women story tellers – that we all approach the world with curiosity,
and an offer, tell me your story, and I will tell it for you – to the humans,
that our manners may improve…
Yvette said, “O I am a bad Capricorn, so much Sagittarius.”
To which I responded “No no, you are a great Cap/Sag –
Will study anything, as long as it’s useful!” – and she said – exactly….
If we know this, then how shall we practice into incarnational actuality –
to make the world more beautiful…
All those born in the Year of the Dragon, are like sleeper cells,
stirring as Uranus comes to transit our Jupiters
(all Dragons have our Jupiter in Taurus, me, Yvette, Parkland Youth….
Wisdom gleaned from the Earth…
And purpose of humans is to give pleasure to animals…)
and all those born in the 1960’s with Uranus and Pluto cahooting –
likewise sleeper cell stirring into rousing action…
Yvette, incarnational agent of Saturn,
and Saturn (squirrel hiding from hunters)
be only aspected by quintile to Mercury 19+ Sag,
at the long term vision to address climate chaos….
She be a part of us who is an invaluable community team-mate,
and her Juno is that great degree:
”A party of campers packing their canoe at twilight –
the ability to navigate Dark Water.”
We all be setting forth,
and if we paddle together – we can do impossible things…
