Yo Fellow Aspiring Agents of Liberating Trickster,
at this time of micro-macro Kerfuffles…
Grrrr, de-compressing -will explain…
Calling Goat Back….
So many roads have been leading
to the humbling dead-end of futility…
Where our Saturn,
self-possession of our Goat,
may be tested, in a customized fashion,
that, like ribbon grass,
pulls up all the realms in which
we have personally and collectively
out-sourced our Saturn…
(anything that elicits Grrr,
exasperation or cringing, or weeping)
So my micro kerfuffle mis-adventure,
that re-minded (Mercury retrograde,
do everything twice, or thrice, apparently)
me of the myriad forms of ugly tyranny
currently in play.
Setting forth to renew my driver’s license
(many texts and emails confirming my appt.,
none of them mentioning the clearly
Republican new criteria…
old driver’s license,
and current registration – ok, yes, of course.
plus current valid passport,
plus a 1099 form with complete ss#,
plus Property Tax bill,
plus bills with address etc…
And I speak English,
and do have all those things somewhere
(at home), unlike so many…
Tis how Republicans/Koch Bros,
are trying to make voting impossible,
so we just give up…
So, am home now…
and taking a break from
gov. out-sourced Saturn…
will try again…someday…
after Mercury Direct…
on the 22nd…
Re-minding me of the audible book
I was attempting to listen to
on pointless drive,
“Democracy in Chains”by Nancy McLean,
crucial narrative re the nefarious
right-wing coup, which be seriously on-going….
Democracy and Planet
teetering on fulcrum,
so tis good for us to convene…
And me yelling at car voice,
Play “Democracy in Chains,”
to which it responded,
“Play Lawrence Welk,
play Rolling Stones”
play “Fly Me to the Moon”…
& other wrong things”
So I yelled at it,
and then voice navigation quit,
in the midst of trying to find the
bleeping Dept of Motor Vehicles…
(Last night I was admonished
by my voice remote, when on the 8th try
to play a clients profound movie,
(having signed up for another
bleeping service – HBO Max)
“Princess of the Row,”
I said “Play the ****ing movie”
…TV voice said, “we do not respond
to language like that. Good bye.”
So, I am humbled
by having been tossed into reactivity
with a non-responsive form
of external Saturn authority…
Re-membering the word:
“chronophagic,”
which means “time-eating.”
So am composting any reactive impulse
to drive back to Dept Motor Vehicles today,
in rush hour traffic…. because that’s
what sets us up for accidents
and other undesirable possibilities…….
**************************
***************************
Better to say hi to you all,
and walk with dogs in woods….
Enter Dog-Mind, Cicada Conversation,
Tranquility of trees…
Visit my Democracy Tree
(will narrate what our
election magic council did last year,
because tis a really grand idea
to re-vitalize those rituals of intimacy
with that which is beautiful and real…)
“In the most turbulent of Rivers,
there’s always a silver current of calm.
Paddle there.”
“The energy be so strong,
that to step off it – is to run into it…”
and that is why tis grand to convene
with the Astro-Mytho
guiding narrative of now…
Let’s chorus ourselves Moon in Leo –
Celebration or Compensation?!,
we may wonder to ourselves…
Joyful “Volunteer Church Choir”
(The Moon’s Sabian as we convene…)
is our aspiration…
forming T Square
with Uranus and Saturn,
who be exactly squared…
Encouraging our dedication
to inhaling Saturn, our calm Authority…
via our celebrated kinship
with that which is Beautiful.
The Sun squares Neptune.
There are descriptions:
exasperating mis–communications,
being in someone else’s movie,
or faux faery tale.
And there be guiding:
Wedding of Intellect and Wonder,
focus and reverie in an alternating pulse.
The Sun quintiles Chiron
the Mentor Centaur,
at the degree of “defusing tense situations,”
averting disaster, by gathering to consider.
Opening portals to our mentors,
to suffuse us, and through us, the world
with calm witty responsiveness…
And Jupiter stationing at 2+ Pisces
quintiles Ceres Demeter, dwarf planet,
goddess of the Earth…
at the fun degree 14+ Taurus,
“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,
collaborator with Big Nature..”
Let’s invite this being, within us all,
to Council tonight…
and Mercury Retrograde
at 18+ Gemini whose symbol,
(via Steve Eardley) is
“reading a beautifully illuminated alchemical
text with the aid of a magnifying glass,
bringing the mystery of life into focus.”
Yes…
We welcome anything that each of us
may want to bring tonight,
that be of gentle solace
and encouragement…
Meanwhile, let’s see what the I Ching
may want to say, as twas so spot-on last week…
OK- this is helpful-good.
50. Ting/Sacred Vessel
“The Vessel describes our situation in terms of
imagination and the transformative capacity
of a sacred vessel.The way to deal with it is
to contain and transform our problems
through an image.”
OK, now we’re talkin’,
ball back in our court.
Our Council is our Vessel.
9 in 3rd-
“Letting go of righteousness.
Everything feels clogged up now.
Don’t worry about it.”
6 in 5th:
“A beautiful vision and a loving plan.
This is the casting of the precious metals
(see above alchemy reference).
Finding a way to bring it into the world…
will partner us with creative force.”
Changes to
(uh-oh, the hexagram from last week)
6. Dispute/Council Song
“Dispute describes our situation
in terms of an argument. The way to deal with it
is to clarify and actively express your viewpoint
without escalating the conflict.”
and many other guiding words,
I will read tonight.
