and our own Trickster Council mate, Pat Ewing, will chime in elucidating the origins,
of this almost liberating day…
&, in that spirit
to whom shall we waft our Liberating Valentines….?!
Jupiter, ca.1605 (German)
Bunny Planet History – be activated! “For here’s the history that should have been…”
Jupiter sextiles Uranus, so liberating blessings be eager to be animated and sallied forth…
Let inward critique, serves to as an assignment to focus our outer blessing….
“No one we couldn’t love – if we really knew their story.” (Black Gospel teachings)
Together – we can do this –
to think of someone, something, whose befoiblements may have gotten our goat, and customize a liberating blessing…fueled by deep delving curiosity – and wonder…
For truly we are all befoibled…
Waxing full Moon- Aquarius-Leo
11:56 am et
on 16th…
So Tuesday Night be the Full Moon Night…
Tonight we be back-stage to Full Moon…..
as Venus and Mars exactly conjoin in the sign of Mars’ exaltation, Capricorn,
trining Uranus…
We shall explore how that can manifest in less desirable ways when unconscious; trines as greased lightning;
and the liberating fun that wants to be, when we are willing to cooperate…
Indeed
Co-Operators are standing by!

Aquarius Magnetizes us to consider community—what alleviates aloneness….?
Where might we feel constricted, that we may want Community blessing to relax, so as to unfurl into the grace of availability.
Mutual Aid!
to address personal and collective grief , to be expressed as a sacrament of kinship…
Kindness!

So here be a pithy article, for rumination…
to which a colleague responded:
“Twas great and provocative. I’m reminded of what one of my advisors, Bayo Akomalafe, says about trauma, (groping paraphrase here), that it’s an atmospheric, a territory, that captures individual bodies in order to express its agency….
I ponder that the trauma of “my trauma” is precisely the “my,” that reinforcement of the enclosure, the isolated identity, the loss of magical participation, the fractured death fantasy identity virus replicating itself … “my trauma” is so very unoriginal.
Although bodies and hearts do need to heal from the trauma that’s coopted: participatory belonging, animistic connection, incantatory story weaving of creative possibility, kind collaboration, your forte!”
