Yo Team o expanding enthusiastic
Trickster Council mates,
(Welcome new, old, and really long-time)
Neptune (stationing)
presiding over the Season…
-iconography-
encouraging events…
The Summer Solstice Eclipse degree
at 0+ Cancer’s image is
“Lowering an old flag, raising another.”
Just like we’ve been noting and encouraging:
metaphors incarnating into actuality…
Article: Mississippi state legislature passes bill
to remove Confederate symbol from state flag
in historic vote
(“Opresshun be only for a seasun,”
as is said in Jamaica)
Statues coming down,
or creatively liberatingly, re-configured…
Sherrilyn Ifill
President & Director-Counsel of LDF
(NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund)
“This is as much an opportunity to dismantle as it
is to create. Confederate monuments should come
down. But when these structures are repurposed
by artists & activists to tell a story like this?
….Brilliant, educational & restorative
…well, I hope folks keep their options open.”
Prison no longer masquerading as freedom….
And, we honor Mars, just having entered
own realm of Aries for the rest of the Year,
and making a smokin’ Yod with the Moon
in Scorpio (Mars’ other realm of sizzly strategy)…
And Venus stationing is the other partner
in this “Finger of Destiny” configuration…
So we can speak conversationally
about deep strategies.
The greater internal Saturn we have –
the fewer outer rules we need.
A fraction of America’s populace not mature-yet!
We all be studying what it be to be a good Citizen –
Saturn and Uranus, personal constraint leads to
greater community freedom. Boundaries and
masks be excellent Citizen manners…
My radio guest this week (pretty darn sure)
is Daryl Davis, whom I know a squosh,
and whom I’ve admired for aeons.
He be an Aries, incarnational agent of Mars.
And where be his Mars? 6+ Aquarius
“the Cosmic egg of Community Renaissance.”
opposite Liberating Trickster at 7+ Leo,
highly charismatic degree
(“Community activist spreading ideals.”)
And one great embodiment of
practicing Trickster principles
While
“Some say Davis converted these men,
he prefers to say that they converted themselves,
and that he merely provided the impetus for them
to do so. Over the past 30 years, Davis has become
well-versed in the organization’s ethos and
hierarchy which led to him to becoming the first
black man to write a book about the KKK entitled
Klan-destine Relationships: A Black Man’s Odyssey
in the Ku Klux Klan, which was published in 1998.”

who converts Ku Klux Klan members
So, here, also, be Daryl’s chart,
that we may honor and encourage
this part of us
and I am enthused by the whole frame of
“First Time Hearing”
(May we all have fresh ears and
informed innocence)
Old music brought alive through
fresh hip listening allies:
(“You gonna feel what I’m singing song”)
and the first one I heard, so liberatingly charming.
Never really heard Dolly Parton,
until hearing through these lads:
That we may be under cover agents
for greater good…
