Metaphors Be With You!
Mercury, Sun, Neptune cahooting in the Piscean Oceans of metaphoric agility, and swooshy shape-shifting opportunities…

They all square Mars in Gemini, (troubadour-bard, Jack who sells the cow for 3 magic beans…)
at the gardener trimming palm leaves degree….”pruning away the inessential…” liberating the palm from dead weight…
good idea!
’cause with the square, can feel the mind jumping around from thing to thing…like a crazed wombat…
better to be like rats… (see below, rats as our moral mentors)
Let us be more like rats!
“Rats will stop doing something they like if it harms another rat, a study has found.”
“Rats… avoid actions that can cause pain to their fellow beings, scientists have found… as an important part of moral development…”

Mars squaring Piscean planets puts us in the realm where faery tale guidelines are in play… and as Mars quintiles Chiron, Jupiter and Vesta… We look to animals (Mars) for Mentoring (Chiron)…
The field is fluid and shape-shifty… so we can add to our customized skookum trickster selves, qualities, from Flora Fauna Fungi – we would like to animate within and without…
Then we light the Vestal sacred hearth, dedicated to Community well-being…in order to proceed on the scavenger hunt (one clue at a time) of our current adventures…
First clue:
Crazy about the task that Chiron and Jupiter’s degree bestows : “weaving a magical basket out of serpents…”

Woo-hoo, our first task is to stay on task…(which may have many Gemini expressions…)
with guiding artful frame…
Weave the basket…Let’s make an artful ally of beautiful danger…
Mars trines Saturn… the dedication provides effective calm….
Saturn says, stay on focus…the essential,
and wonder what that be…
Wonder and Augury are in a call and response dance.

Mars sextiles Venus, whose image is “through imagination lost opportunity is regained.”
Thank you, so kind, multiverses…
Heartening, as Venus squares Pluto…
once again providing incentive, re-minding us these Big Intelligences highly encourage crafted ritual dedication…
so as to be cooperating with what wants to happen, rather than possessed….at the effect….
Calm at center of storm, directing the flow..
rather than swooshed around the whirl pool
And everyone choruses:
“Solve et Coagula” – “dissolve and re-imagine.”
&
“Dissolution is the secret of the Great Work..”
Our dedication is our vetting standards that guides the alchemy of dissolution and re-imagining the new desirable into incarnational actuality….
We welcome resonant repetition, and more watery imagery… our ascendant 15+ Libra is “boat-dock, wrecked by storms is being repaired… re-building the entire world…”

OK- that would be our 2nd task …
