Diving for the Dark…

deeper, past the realms populated by the dingbattery of human befoibled imagination…. to liberate our imaginative intimacy with beautiful dark mystery, from past bamboozling and hood-winking …

Let’s begin our Solstice journey back to the originating impulse, from which arise all that we term “religion,” to tap into the originating impulse and offer fresh expression…that we may restore reverent collaborative intimacy to human capacity:
to humbly collaborate with Nature’s guiding genius.

We look to Venus, Intelligence of Artful Guiding – that we are here to make the world more beautiful- in her own sign of Libra;
at the intriguing degree of “Two Men Placed under arrest- mutual insight overcoming mutual blame.”
Opposite Uranus, square Pluto, semi-square the Sun; presiding over Mars, who dances with the exalted Moon in Taurus, and Saturn in Sagittarius to form a “Finger of Destiny.”
(We shall delineate…)

Let’s look to religious art, rather than dogma, to find our way.
With that in Mind, we explore the mystery of the chart of Islam, provided by our Trickster Team-mate, Sylvia: Mohammad rides into Medina at sunset, June 22nd, 622 AD.

The Sun, having just entered Sagittarius quintiles its “ruler” Jupiter in Virgo, that we may gather our Medicine Stories as true Solstice-Christmas gifts – to give and receive.
(And to bless the imminent Paris Climate Talks, that they may, miraculously, re-direct human attention to our most essential task, of healing human manners with everything and everyone, in a Renaissance of inviting the best of our species to Renaissance of Reverent Ingenuity.)

Thanksgiving Full Moon:
let us remember that Thanksgiving is not a mere colonial Hallmark Card,
but is astrologically timed, being the first Thursday (Thursday, Jupiter’s Day), after the Sun enters Sagittarius, Jupiter’s sign..
And the Turkey is indigenous expression of gratitude and generosity…

The Full Moon’s symbol “Holly and Mistletoe, evoking life force, celebrating renewal, Druidic like nature atunement.”
Barack Obama’s exact Moon – so let’s bless his Inner Druid, whose voice we welcome, and always, his safety, a cloak of guiding earth wisdom, and a council of wise, protective wolves around him and all whom he holds dear.

And, bien sur, we direct our perspicacious gaze to the imminent Saturn in Sagittarius square to Neptune in Pisces – whose demonic expression is rampant in the toxic tragic vaudeville con of what passes for public human discourse. Let’s offer ourselves the the Angels of this dance.
