Post-Council Themes & Notes
Okey doke, we have begun one of five..
One version of the five act structure of story-telling is:
Act One – here we are – (check…)
Act 2 – away
Act 3 – whoops
Act 4 – the deep dive
Act 5 – the Redemptive Up-lift…
Mercury be stationing now to retrograde (on Sunday the 26th 10:10 pm pt, Monday the 27th 1:10 am et)… until October 18th Direct. Jupiter now retro Direct October 17th –
So -Mercury – we query …”for what do we want to be a messenger?”
(When my radio show of now 25 years began,
Mercury was retrograde…It’s an ally…
Mercury was retrograde…It’s an ally…
Everything an ally if we be willing to collaborate…in the right angle of relating…
Re-search, re-consider, re-connect with all the chapters of our lives,
Jupiter-“What stories want me to tell them (everything alive)?”
“Sing to me O Muse – and through me tell the story…”
The quest begins with a question (or two)…
Pluto stationing Direct October 6th- definitely, something with which we want to cahoot.
Pluto says, things are volatile and dangerous in direct proportion to the force of their exclusion…
So dancing with demons be called for…
Pluto also says, all old structures, not based on humans humbly cooperating with Nature’s guiding Genius-are collapsing.
But the energy invested in those structures is now available for re-investing….in the new emerging dedication…
Saturn Direct Oct. 11th- inward dedication grows the outward form
Retrograde motion is the illusion we see from Earth, of a planet appearing to move backwards in the sky…
I think of retrograde as inward, a planet going on a Vision Quest to remember its true purpose.
We shall consider cooperating with retrograde, stationing, direct movement of Planetary allies……
by transit, and by progression….
We be diving into the Dark,
“May all be danced into place where we can do the most good, have the most fun, and contribute our considerable gifts to the community in a manner of Reciprocal Blessing…”
The Aesclepions await…cup of Rhodiola root tea, or similar balancing adaptogen. Intend to have a healing dream for self and community…Accept the deal that one will give outward creative expression to the inward experience, whereby we glean the power from the dream or insight, and returns to one’s community as an agent or Reverent Renaissance.
we honor the 5 Moons in Virgo
all those with action around the 10th- 16th degrees – Dancing with Uranus (Annette, Maura, River’s Saturn, asha’s Moon 13 Virgo, Trelawny – Moon and Saturn) Raina Sun 13+ Scorpio “the cosmic switchboard , “ and where Venus was at the Equinox….
And so many or the team having watery planets around 22, 23, 24 – Judy’s Jupiter…
What Pluto opposes, Neptune trines…(Peter’s Venus)…
We get to all beings…
Ladling desirable dreams out of the cauldron..
and more soon…Monday…
Woof*woof*wanna*play?!?

Pre-Council Chart and Themes
How cool & “skookum”
(“connected to the spirits and completely competent for the work at hand”)
be our team
that
*We are convening tonight! this Friday night,
(8 pm edt!).
*Friday is Venus’ day,
*in Venus’s just now unfurling Libran season of dynamic deliberation..
*We set forth on a 5 Council cahoot.
*Five be sacred to Venus, who forms a five petaled orbital design over 8 years.
And tis 5 that gives rise to spirals in Nature- tis her way of resolving conflict…
Spiraling be one of our great guides- linguistically, metaphorically, energetically….
In our Council – no rules but guidelines…swoosh…
So let’s set them in play tonight:
May our manner of relating be an offering (liberating!)
May we cultivate the arts of encouraging blessing…
Magic is merely a willingness to cooperate with everything.
May we move our emotional default setting to “woof*woof*wanna*play?!
May all Saturnine ack serve as incentive to experiment to spiral forth greater Beauty…
(and everyone feel encouraged to contribute more liberating guidelines, as they arise. )
Whatever we do for ourselves grants us the spiritual muscle tone to do that in the cultural realms..
* Breaking old spells-taking new vows (introducing this on-going play)
*We have so many Venuses to help.
1) She is in Scorpio at the “woman made fertile by her own spirit,” degree.
2) She presides over the Libran realms, where Sun and Mars reside.
3) Venus and Mars are in Mutual Reception – each in the sign of the other…
We will invite them to guide us into this dance…. The spicy sorceress positive intrigue Venus, dancing with the calm-weaver, strong enough to be gentle Mars…each with excellent manners, as they are in each others realms…
4) She presides over the Taurean realm of Participatory Animism, where the Moon and Uranus hummmm.
That we offer ourselves as cross-pollinating agents betwixt what we love in Nature, and collective cultural life.
So tis a grand party
May it be a relaxed, convivial welcoming
Disciplined Wildness, structure supporting improv (Saturn and Uranus)
Everyone can say hi in some form, telepathic or manifest, voice or chat.
Autonomy is a sacrament.
A micro beginning of who brought what..?!
That our Saturnine container grow naturally to support our collective dedications.
Co-Operators are standing by!
We welcome them, Planetary Intelligences within and without
to weave the macro-micro guiding narrative..and will describe who’s here…
Who are we?
The chart shall be our guide.
A great team…
We are the molecules with which the big picture speaks to itself through the agency of synchronicity….
(a squosh more, can’t help myself)
We begin
honoring Pluto- by tossing everything into the Cauldron –
(everything can be liberating or imprisoning, including astrology)
and what shall we ladle out?
Tis a grand time to set our own Saturnine criteria.
Here are my current criteria, offered as guideline,
incentive for each of us to define our own discerning criteria.
* Does it guide beings to their own autonomy? (in-sourcing Saturn) (inviting in Marcilio Fecino)
* Is it equal Mars and Venus, humans and the rest of our kin?
*Is Trickster liberating play, sometimes dangerous in a good way, welcome?
Yes?! We ladle it out!
(No? – we toss it all back in for another round of bubbling, liberating de-conditioning…)
Tonight let’s co brew our aspirational atmosphere –
conducive to Reciprocal Blessing,
atmosphere conducive to safe unfurling.
Inquisition over! (Still much tyranny to be composted. Yet safer for everyone to come out as knowledgeable wizard-wise woman Dr Magician- collaborator with Natural Forces – Uranus’ stationing degree.)
dedicated to Participatory Animism!
We shall introduce, along with
Ally Etiquette
This beautiful language loves to make all of us available to all of us…
That each of us may access our resources, known and unknown,
whereby to “dree our weird” (“Play our role in Destiny.”)
at this Time of Dire Beauty etc.
Just as Animism is not a belief,
but a practice….
of manners of relating –
So too is democracy…
So too astrology…
a Mystery School,
disguised as whatever we may have thought it to be.
Pluto says about whatever we think we are doing, whomever we think we are: “good cover…”
especially with square to Mercury stationing, toss out any impedimental thoughts,
so that our clarity emerge. We have come to contribute Beauty to the collective Dream.
Mercury affirms this further by inconjuncting Neptune,
who sextiles Pluto. And together they re-mind us:
“Metaphor is the incarnatuonal garb whereby power enters the world!”
&
“The protoplasm of reality is especially receptive to imaginative print…”
to cultivate our myriad unique crafts for participatory kinship….
Whatever language we cultivate is how synchronicity will speak to us, and serendipity will invite us to dance.
Our setting forth chart:
Moon exalted in Taurus, at the “let’s all air out our psychic space, bringing out hidden content – sorting what is beautiful and useful,
and tossing the rest into Pluto’s Cauldron”- degree.
And for bonus points she trines Pluto!
And is conjoined Uranus, Nature’s evolutionary Trickster experimental Genius…with whom we are to wheel and deal…
Whatever we toss into the cauldron, magnetizes the lightning of liberating genius…
Alchemical Nigredo…
The collapse of the old makes room for Liberating Trickster cultural renaissance, to which we all be invited contributors…
So tis just the best kind of fun…to convene now-
delineating the guiding frame story, and the team atmosphere,
of safety, play, autonomy….Structure and Improv…
