Spicy Intrigue Abounding –
Approach the future with exhilarating enthusiasm —
Composting dread with Woof! Dark of Moon
New Moon on Thursday= “Magic Carpet.”
Our ride awaits…
April 4th!
Colleague Katherine Neville’s birthday – she-author of The Eight, The Magic Circle and more esoteric thrillers…(better than Dan Brown, before Dan Brown, with kick-butt Aries Woman heroines, to match the author… and us, as we activate our inner confident animal.)
Katherine is the transmitter and effective agent for the $Money$ Animal….
(Just spoke with her because we cahoot, and she just acquired a large painted cat piggy bank as her Money Animal into which she puts all change in her purse, upon returning home…)
Further instructions tonight…
especially pertinent as so many old things in my realm have gone into the re-birth realm, car kaput RIP, like-wise washing machine, also vacuum cleaner (kind of Pluto) – everything requires more energy in form of $. Woo-Hoo!
Our Ascendant is 3+ Scorpio (the positive intrigue Mars, who loves “dangerous in a good way.”) We “carry a lit candle in a ritual…Melding our energies in a deeper matrix. Passing on the light overcomes our fears about our own flame going out. Nearness to mysterious forces. Burning away emotional residue.”
So let’s everyone light a candle for our gathering (unless driving, etc. in which case, inward visualization of such will suffice.)
The Sun in Mars’ woofy outward confident realm in Katherine’s chart is “A Woman weaving a magical basket out of serpents: manifesting a personal vision of life…inter-weaving conflicting desires within the psyche so that they work towards a single goal…sturdy independence.”
By tonight’s gathering the Sun carries that fun image having moved to 15+ Aries: “A wanderer with a red rose in hat, stops to gaze at the setting Sun. Openness to the unfolding poetry of life; setting out on a new life adventure; openness of heart.”
So we gather our pluck, our jaunty jocularity, our spicy detective selves.
Even the vegans among us want to visualize having canine teeth.
Always, and increasingly, we are weaving a resonant field of support for our unique selves…
Enough Saturn structure (Wolves!) to support our Uranus-Adaptable ingenious Customized Coyote.
And cannot recommend highly enough, “The Wizard of Earthsea,” by Ursula K LeGuin (sent to me for re-reading by our own Trickster Training Council astro*mytho*ally Sylvia Hanley) – in which the young wizard, having through presumptive pride, unleashed a dangerous demonic Shadow, that seeks to destroy him – in order to destroy the world.
His mentor says to him:
“You must seek what seeks you. You must hunt the hunter.”
Turn around – change the dynamic – become energetic predator (even if vegan.)
Dree-ing Our Weird, going backwards to go forward:
His mentor also says this beautiful powerful guiding to him
– and to us:
“You would know the end you go to, but you cannot know if you do not turn, and return to your beginnings, and hold that beginning in your being. If you would not be a stick whirled and whelmed in the stream, you must be the stream itself, all of it, from its spring to its sinking in the sea…Now turn clear round, and seek the source. There lies your hope and strength.”
All very Jupiter in Virgo, retrograde – return to our originating guiding Stories…In what circumstance were we born? What beautiful dangerous assignments have we taken on? What have our journeys been? Whether difficult or beautiful – all valuable clues, wherein we gather our Guiding Medicine Stories.
All very Moon-Neptune, Chiron, South Node, Ceres-Demeter, Venus – in Pisces, soon ready for action-ready for danger- opposite Jupiter, who trines Pluto, and more! Which we shall delineate tonight.
And the political realm of course, remembering what unites us midst compelling illusion of harumphitudinous conflict. We have tossed the word “politics” into the Pluto’s cauldron, and ladle out “dedication to collective well-being.” Surely we can find a guiding story that brings us into accord…
And thanking the gods we have each other!
