Let us become Hares and Rabbits!

 

2023 has finally begun:

Saturday- twas New Moon, perigee, closer in than 900 years ago.

Sunday was Chinese New Year of the Rabbit

 

&

Trickster Uranus our booking agent, goes forward outward.

 

So Tis the real beginning of the year 2023.

Break old spells – take new vows.

And Comet Green will be visiting earth ( closest in to Earth February 2 nd) for first time since Neanderthals were here. Over 50,000 years ago…

 

So- big stories.

For perspective…

 

 

New Year’s Eve, was exact Venus-Pluto conjunction. Woo. At the degree of America’s Pluto return. Theming the entire year unfurling before us.

Ritual containers be a grand art for this year….

Energy so strong – to step off it – is to run into it…

 

We can have a democracy, begin a democracy,

but only if we really delve, address everything.

Ditto all micro forms of Venusian relating.

 

We may now know what is finished, Pau— done…

“Pau” is Hawaiian, “burnt ashes cinders. ” “The pipe, the fire is “pau.”

 

And pau is holy too

Everything can be a sacrament,

 

From ashes,

leaps the rabbit

“The hare runs into the fire!”

The hare runs into the fire!”

The fire it takes her, she is not burned.

The fire, it loves her, she is not burned.

The hare runs into the fire.

The fire it loves her, she is free….”

(“I Shall wear Midnight “ Terry Pratchett)

 

 

Jalal al-Din Mawlana Rumi (c.1207-73),

poets-astrologer

chimes in on this theme

with his poem below about destiny and the astrological square:

“When destiny and kerfuffle (kader ve kaza*)

shows their head in the sky

all the mind becomes blind and deaf.

When the kerfuffle (kaza) erupts, the fish throw themselves out of the sea…

You can only be saved from the destiny and accident by escaping to the destiny and accident…

(if you run somewhere else, no arrangement can save you from it.”

(* Kader ve Kaza. Kader is what is written by God. Kaza is when it happens.”)

(above from Turkish astrological colleague, Baris Ilhan, with me switching some words, “kerfuffle” standing in for “accident.” and we may presume to do more…. while preserving the gist…)

 

Glorious DC MC – Vision of Peace…. Defure tense situations (Chiron) – be calm-weavers.. Let us dedicate to being agents of fierce playful liberating blessing…

Shaped like a bucket, the rims of which are the 2 “8”s- Mercury 8 +Capricorn) and Mars 8+ Gemini… let’s participate in this conversing…

(by including Ceres- a witch feeding chickens, protecting them from the hawk, whom she also likes…manners betwixt predator and prey…)

 

Moon quintiles Uranus

Mercury quintiles Neptune

Pluto quintile Chiron…

 

and as I always ask Sylvia to re-mind me, what’s the down side of quintiles, for which we must be wary.

Many people who have done terrible thibngs have quintiles, Putin, Bannon etc..

Sylvia says, “tis the capacity to open portals between worlds and dimensions…”

Good and bad…dedicate to collective well being (Venus-Saturn in the gloaming)
(or Hinayana Honkie “I’ve got mine .”)

 

and, just cause I watched such a fantabulous pbs documentary on Zora Neale Hurston,
let’s invite her, honor her, in our council…
and her quintiles, which she put to excellent good use…

We must perform the folklore – to ally with the Intelligences…

Through her, we bring in Bre’r Rabbit
and High John…..
