Yo Team,
at this opportune time for ritual/radio magic, let’s keep it swirling, spiraling
sane reverent common sense ingenious altruism
into group mind…
Neptune (visible spectrum, NASA)
Neptune is so stationing – that we forgot to mention…
Inner Vision pouring outward…
In keeping with Bly’s version of Rumi on
“Praising Manners”
“…Inner gifts do not find their way
To creatures without just respect.”
Kinned with the I Ching chiming in: “Trap – judgement closes the path.”
and “insolence,” what an interesting word:
insolent (adj.)
late 14c., “contemptuous, arrogant, showing haughty disregard of others,” from Latin insolentem (nominative insolens) “arrogant, immoderate.”
So let’s aspire to the Trickster dedication of always leaving room for others to behave in unexpectedly appropriate ways…(not counting on it – but leaving room, that our manner of relating be liberating…)
To leave room for all to skid in contributing essential gift at this dangerous time of Positive Intrigue…
Danger makes good allies, even in those befoibled (and aren’t we all)… who rise to the occasion…
Very Venus Pluto dancing…
So all that Heather and I referenced be available for each of us to tease forth, into experimental play…
Good time – all around now, a’ la William Blake, to give a tea party for dead People (but really put out the cups of tea…is part of the to and ‘fro etiquette)…
And we have a near exact quintile betwixt Mercury and Jupiter—Opening the portal for Bardic story-telling traditions to enter our lives, whereby we may be their agents.
The fresh telling of the story – brings it alive…
Why we consider, at this time of story-telling eclipse, all into cauldron, and what fresh cycle shall we ladle out….what stories might we have been telling ourselves, repeating, with which we are done! “Pau” (Hawaiian for burnt down to dust- finished)…
Hanging with lovely activists at Commonweal one late night…Lovely woman from Standing Rock saying so many of the young activists, are the same ones getting arrested over and over,
are “burnt out.”
At first I had the impulse to discard the phrase…but then to embrace…
Burnt out
Pau
from which to arise with better magic stategies…
Brecht wrote a great essay on “Five obstacles to telling the truth,”(which I like to turn into: “Five opportunities…”) -but the gist: “People tell the story – “we are good, and defeated by the tyrants, but we are good…” He says, “We gotta quit telling that story about how the good is weak.
The good is strong.”
Ladling that out of this eclipse…
Co-operators are standing by!
and we are available….
Just for fun the first Pluto return …
Let us note that Saturn will be at the
“Weary fire responders finally succeed in controlling a dangerous fire.”
Could be the planet
“destructive passions brought under control, and channelled into the work of human evolution; doing the ground work to actualize a powerful vision of the future.”
OK!
And Neptune, at the materializing seance degree , exactly opposite the US Neptune…
Working with the Country’s Soul be a worth dedication…
And wonderful Heather, transiting Uranus trining her Sun etc.
doing so well “dreeing her weird,” 12th house to Moon in Aries…
What we have forgotten but must remember (12th house),
brought alive by the fresh telling of the woman
hero (Moon in Aries)
And her North Node in Sag at the degree: “The crown and torch of the statue of liberty, the necessity to protect democracy from tyranny!”
And her multi Virgo, being such a dedicated delineator of small big things…
When we first knew each other, she was doing her own palm prints every day…
And our lines, our fate changes…
Whenever she had a fight with her then husband, a second marriage line would appear…
then fade, when thing were jollier, then emphatically return, until she left…
and in the full adventurous journey found her great love, a two-spirit woman of Mohawk descent, Native American Cowboy…
I was at their wedding so long ago in Santa Fe…They are well suited for decades now…into perpetuity…
Our word “stamina,” comes from “stamen,” not the flower stamen, but the thread that the fates wove of the length of our life. “Stamina” reminds us we can lengthen, strengthen, thicken that life…
There need be no undesirable fixed future.

For further fun: Hurray for palindromes!
