Caroline welcomes the return of collegial Green wizard Jerome McGeorge, that we may delve into the guiding narrative of now… Participatory Astro*Mythology of On-going Inauguration. The necessary magic that comes in dangerous times, has been called in, now to tease its pertinence into the gargantuan tasks ahead.
Jerome McGeorge is an ally of richly cultivated, playful erudition
“a founding member of Coulee Region Organic Produce Pool (CROPP), the cooperative that owns the Organic Valley brand, and an old hippy straight out of the Summer of Love. One moment he is describing the revolutionary spirit of late 1960s San Francisco, the next he’s on to peak food, the price of organic milk in Europe, mission versus profit motivated enterprises, and the long, slow death of the family farm during his lifetime…” [Quote from Rootstock Radio]
Listen to his Visionary Activist interview on 12/31/2020
Our Palindromic Inauguration – on-going
we honor and cahoot with magic wherever it be.
The Twilight ritual to honor the 400,000 dead of Corona (toxic kingship),
with 400 lights at the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial,
was for real…
1st twas short (a crucial ingredient for any good ritual)
evening 1.19.2021
powerful twilight ritual Celtic Magic to honor, grieve & lament the dead…
very New Orleans…
(and gotta say the irresponsible ffs of much Inaugural “astrology” writing out there has been a pathetic abdication of our collective responsibility, to avert disaster by gathering to consider, in order to conjure the desirable world into being. Cheesy cheap tyro doom and gloom – into cauldron.) *see more on this at the bottom, below charts
This too is Mars Uranus square the Aquarians…
Participatory animism invited into human community.
The Celtic Magic of Twilight.
The time between worlds…
Simple glorious music: artfully expressed grief becomes a sacrament of kinship….
and the Mall looks glorious…artful loving symbolism…we are all in this –
to animate the vessels being so generously proffered to us.
Roman Augur
The word “Inaugurate” comes from the “augur,” the diviner within us all,
who would walk out into Nature, observe her auspices,
whereby to invite in qualities of Intelligence
with which to Inaugurate the new leader.
Participatory democracy as community magic.
Guiding magic is afoot…
Atmospheric Magic, the lighting, the truly glorious fireworks at finale of evening , completely cleansed White House, Capitol, Mall….
now for us to keep it going…
And of course an essential part of the Magic was Amanda Gorman, calling it in…
(watch Amanda Gorman recite her poem in this youtube video)
When day comes we ask ourselves,
where can we find light in this never-ending shade?
The loss we carry,
a sea we must wade
We’ve braved the belly of the beast
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace
And the norms and notions
of what just is
Isn’t always just-ice
And yet the dawn is ours
before we knew it
Somehow we do it
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed
a nation that isn’t broken
but simply unfinished
We the successors of a country and a time
Where a skinny Black girl
descended from slaves and raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one
And yes we are far from polished
far from pristine
but that doesn’t mean we are
striving to form a union that is perfect
We are striving to forge a union with purpose
To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and
conditions of man
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
but what stands before us
We close the divide because we know, to put our future first,
we must first put our differences aside
We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
to one another
We seek harm to none and harmony for all
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried
That we’ll forever be tied together, victorious
Not because we will never again know defeat
but because we will never again sow division
Scripture tells us to envision
that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid
If we’re to live up to our own time
Then victory won’t lie in the blade
But in all the bridges we’ve made
That is the promised glade
The hill we climb
If only we dare
It’s because being American is more than a pride we inherit,
it’s the past we step into
and how we repair it
We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation
rather than share it
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy
And this effort very nearly succeeded
But while democracy can be periodically delayed
it can never be permanently defeated
In this truth
in this faith we trust
For while we have our eyes on the future
history has its eyes on us
This is the era of just redemption
We feared at its inception
We did not feel prepared to be the heirs
of such a terrifying hour
but within it we found the power
to author a new chapter
To offer hope and laughter to ourselves
So while once we asked,
how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert
How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
We will not march back to what was
but move to what shall be
A country that is bruised but whole,
benevolent but bold,
fierce and free
We will not be turned around
or interrupted by intimidation
because we know our inaction and inertia
will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens
But one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might,
and might with right,
then love becomes our legacy
and change our children’s birthright
So let us leave behind a country
better than the one we were left with
Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest,
we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one
We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west,
we will rise from the windswept northeast
where our forefathers first realized revolution
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states,
we will rise from the sunbaked south
We will rebuild, reconcile and recover
and every known nook of our nation and
every corner called our country,
our people diverse and beautiful will emerge,
battered and beautiful
When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid
The new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it
-Amanda Gorman
The image for her Sun: “A Gigantic tent, villagers witness a spectacular performance,”
semi-square Venus and Neptune in Aquarius,
all humming in accord with the choreography of now…
The Sun is 2 + Aquarius now,
“deserter from the Navy following their own wilderness path.”
Theme of ally ally in come free…
outsiders return to court to participate in Renaissance…
Her Neptune (artful power of metaphors proffered to Community)
is: “Thunderstorm brings relief to parched fields…restoring flow.”
She be dreeing her weird…
We have a Council of Ancestors (Saturn) backing us up
Mercury, Gianbattista Tiepolo
and some sizzly symmetry…
So, many in my Trickster Councils know we start our election magic
when Mercury was stationing Oct. 13th at 11+ Scorpio – (Renaissance Council),
then station direct election day, then returned to 11+ Scorpio on November 19th. Gettysburg address, Joe Biden’s solar return etc…
And here be that wink from Mercury at the descendent…
Magic be afoot…
(and the Moon quintiles Mercury, 18+ Aquarius, Obama’s rising,
“weary fire responders finally succeed in quelling a dangerous force…mass mobilization.”)
and just as p.s.
Everything can be imprisoning or liberating.
including astrology..
Most of what passes for astro comment out there is spiritual harassment.
I took on someone on facebook for that.
(Someone asked her about the Inauguration, she saying
“o, assassinations earthquakes etc..cheap, cheesy, tyro stuff…
like with Q anon – there ’s gotta be some kernel of useful truth in there.)
Here’s my response
“Tis worthy of participatory astro mythology,
tis true that there be a Mars Uranus Conjunction in Taurus at the
“Woman of Samaria, at the healing well” degree,
“healing cross-cultural encounters around water”
…square Sun at the Saturn Jupiter conjunction degree,
setting the template for the next 20 years.
Even Bill McKibben says this is the most advanced enviro climate resolving cabinet ever.
Saturn at the “restoring a lost condition of spirituality degree.”
Mercury at (Obama’s rising sign) “weary fire responders finally succeed in quelling a dangerous force.”
Mass collective effort on behalf of collective well being.
This is what we are inaugurating.
Come on team,
astro*politico*democracy good citizenship is a team sport. Not spectator.
All in play.
Venus sextile Neptune and Ceres in 11 th house…
so dedication to the Earth is eager to incarnate into molecular actuality…
Rising is “in the midst of a wild wind storm a person walks into town
wearing a silk top hat, carrying a large black bag – the Doctor Magician.“
Not one person, meant for us all to animate.
Moon past square to Pluto, so the last flailing inquisitional tyrannical attempts to suppress the voice of the people is just past.
(note: yes, the vile pranks that trump be planning on his way out, that hour before the Inauguration- call us to waft lavender mist into collective atmosphere, so anything up to no good fizzles like a wet fire-cracker fart. He lumbers on the stairs up to the plane…no harm, just comedy.)
Then the Moon enters the sign of her exaltation to cahoot with Mars and Uranus… some great music…
So, sure, we could make obvious predictions of dis-aster, requiring zero astrology, but that be abdication of our responsibility-opportunity.
We gather to avert dis-aster (aginst the stars) by considering (with the stars.)
Check out etymology of “Inauguration.”
to participate authenticly.
South Node 19+ sag, also pretty cool… what we already know how to do…
Flora Fauna ancestral down load to resolve climate diaster… on and on…
“Better to create prophecy than live prediction.”
Moon quintiles Mercury – woofy women opening the portals in a rousing summoning of the best…absolutely dangerous, as incentive to liberating play…
But again – appreciative woof woof…!
We are all in this dream together….
(and I didn’t even know about Amanda then!)
What these people have before them is vast beyond imagining, the repair…
But what a pretty great organized team…
of which we are a part….Participatory astro*politico*mythology…!!!!!
P.P.S. attaching Ray Charles singing America the Beautiful
Woof!
