The World is On Fire –

 

Let’s Bee the Balm!

 

(too much Mars – here bee the Venusian anti-dote)

We be supplicating Mercury, Hermes,

Intelligence of Communication,

Wise Magic of Language Crafting…

that this missive may resume being received by our entire and expanding team…

 

Welcome old and new!

Time for all allies to confluence!

 

We are gathering tonight!

Much before our council…

 

we have .com and now we have .calm

“Last night, as I was sleeping,

I dreamt -marvelous illusion-

that I had a beehive

here inside my heart.

And the golden bees were making white combs

and sweet honey

from my old failures.”

(Antonio Machado, translated by Robert Bly)

 —

 

Let’s be protectively reverent to our honeybee kin,

under such duress from the war on Venus, via human bad manners.

 

Everything is speaking to us with languid urgency.

Mercury is resuming forward, symbolically outward, motion,

participating in the on-going generosity of the Grand Trine in Earth.

 

The garden yearns to be tended.

 

All this as the Sun has entered Mercury’s realm of Gemini…

May we all be voices for beauty…

 

Let’s explore the mysteries that poignancy reveals kinship.

Grief and Joy are in symbiotic dynamic harmony.

 

“May the beauty we love be the beauty we do –

There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the earth,” sayeth Rumi.

 

The Sun immediately danced with Saturday’s

“Telling the Story of Sane Reverent Energy Full Moon,”

whose Sabian symbol was “White-capped Waves

Display the Power of Wind Over Sea.”

“…the inspiring, beautiful, constant interplay”

betwixt wind and water.

Spirit animating energy.

 

Questing Mars is now at that Full Moon degree, animating the query,

“what desirable fuel shall we run on symbolically and literally,

personally and collectively?”  Wind-Water Energy.

 

May all of our actions (Mars)

be good for the bees (Venus), and all our planetary kin.

 

Let us tease forth the pertient implications of Jupiter

(in Mercury’s Hermetic language crafting realm)

squaring Saturn (In Jupiter’s sign of always learning Sagittarius)

– now-ish by degree, 13+ in both signs. Exact on Thursday.

 

Inward dedication to language crafting

is in service to the outward story-telling arts…

 

Venus and Mars will be opposite tomorrow night,

also on the Full Moon’s Degree –

(a Full Venus-Full Mars yearning to dance

into harmonious accord…)

 

Asteroid Vesta, where we are “divested”

(thanks for the word-play Sylvia!) of constraining orthodoxy,

while more deeply dedicating to the authentically liberating-

conjoins the Sun at 3+ Gemini, (Obama’s Moon):

“Holly and Mistletoe.

Druidic life-force.

Celebrating a renewal of spirit.”

 

Let’s divest ourselves of the conventional con of chit-chat,

that we may liberate guiding wisdom via conversational vernacular.

—

“The Wind, One Brilliant Day, called

to my soul with an aroma of jasmine.

In return for the odor of my jasmine,

I’d like all the fragrance of your roses.”

“I have no roses; all the flowers

in my garden are dead.”

“Well then, I’ll take the waters of the fountains, and the withered petals and the yellow leaves.”

The wind left. And I wept. And I said to myself:

“What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?”

(Antonio Machado, translated by Robert Bly)
