Trickster Redeemer
as Dweller on the Threshold…
July 19, 2010
6pm PDT, 9pm EDT
The guiding sky-story:
It is not only our inclination, but also our current assignment, to be reverently irreverent.
Vivid dedication to liberating opportunity encourages us to be creatively suspicious (of traditional scary metaphors as possibly being moles for Empire), surprisingly dashing and boldly playful, especially in the realm of shape-shifting metaphor.
Traditionally the “dweller on the threshold,” is the encounter with the dark, scary limitations that daunt us, make us cringe – “yarghh,”
hold us back from fuller participation… That encounter is certainly available now.
But, ha!
Here’s what we’re gonna do, symmetrically matched with what wants us to do it:
The dark scary figure emerges from the shadows, and we see, by the striking of a match, that rather than the expected, dreaded, chastising judge of our befoiblements, sentencing us to …(fill in favorite cringe-inducing fear…)
Aaahhhh-ha-ha-ha -! Why, it is our encouraging, laughing, crazy for the divine (“majnoun,”) wiley, ecstatic friend of our heart – Trickster Redeemer,
not blocking, but opening the door for us, ushering us across the threshold.
(Pause for customized reflective dynamic visualization of this scene.)
This is a brilliant (“no brag- just fact,” says Breer Rabbit) working of the energies available to us now:
T-square:
Saturn (about to enter Libra) in the last (calm in emergency) degree of Virgo (where it was on April 20th when this Gulf Cataclysm began) square Pluto (“Party of campers packing their canoes at twilight…ability to navigate dark waters.”) opposing Jupiter (stationing) conjoining Uranus in Aries, the bravura of fresh starts.
Saturn is simultaneously participating in a Finger of God” (let’s re-name that too) pattern in late degrees,
150 degrees to Neptune in Aquarius (at the seeding new culture degree). Micro intricate dedication to the Vast Vision of Sacred Ocean, sextiling the Sun in Full Feeling Cancer.
A really good animation of this was last week’s radio guest, Dave Gallo from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Deep deep scientific dedication to the deep deep ocean mystery…wedding of knowledge and full feeling wonder.
Saturn enters Libra (21st) preparing for last of 5 oppositions to Uranus, now in Cardinal…Launch time on 26th.
And
Mars and Saturn are aligning to dance on July 31st.
Lest anyone fall prey (abdicate their Saturn) to the passivity of predictable faux “entertainment” astrology, that derives petty status from instilling easy banal, titillated dread – let us remember Saturn’s quip, ” uh-oh, might get something done.” We are overcoming paralytic dread, generic cringing, and the terrifying tedium of old-fashioned depression by micro steps of accomplishing one thing at a time. (“Yard by yard – life is hard. Inch by inch – life’s a synch.”
So much to work with that wants to work with us:
Whatever we weave – weaves us.
So many intricately nuanced qualities of ourself and creation that desire to join in the dance.
Our Trickster Training guides us to draw upon qualities that are better and bigger than our conscious selves, to compost dread and angst not only for ourselves but also on behalf of others. Our task is to accept the re-assuring embrace of the Trickster Redeemer, and follow the magnetizing clues on the other side of the door.
Saturn opposing Uranus…time to set up our vows for the direction of our un-folding. “This is the path I want to follow, the blooming unique befoibled super-hero I aspire to be – hold me to this, with kind consideration and tender synchronous regard.”
Tie for radical liberating casting off of conditioning that contributes to the complicity of constraint.
(fill in blanks re habitual forms of internalized constraint…and for each one toss a key to the beautiful and rowdy prisoner part of ourself.
And let’s toss off any complicity within ourselves to constraint by carrying our “tyranno-meter,” with us.
Saturn in Virgo requires discernment: everything can be constraining or liberating, and look similar, but is distinguished by the emotional texture. Sentimentality is a prettified tyranny, whereas authentic grief is liberating. Looks similar – feels different.
It will be a bleeping miracle to be successfully ourselves and contribute our good juju to the world,
but as we love to remember when the chances against us are a million to one, Trickster Redeemer Granny Weatherwax reminds us “million to one chances crop up nine times out of ten,” when our hearts are dedicated.

LISTEN TO THE RECORDING
Dearest, Darling Tricksters… Aaahhhh-ha-ha-ha -! Indeed.
Thank you for being here. Hal, thanks for your wise counsel last week!!
Caroline your confab with Dave Gallo was smoking hot good. During your conversation my body hummed, new understandings opening and ancient memories quickening.
Caroline what you wrote today resonates with me. Just this morning I told myself to be aware of my vast micro interior textures; feelings, feel myself I counseled.
Go inside to go outside.
Recently when I asked the universe for help the message the came back loud and clear, “Help yourself!”
Of course.
Can it really be true that the door is open? Yes.
Only I can hold me back. With excitement and mild trepidation (I can’t ignore the trepidation), I step step step forward, over the threshold. Rewrite the script. I’ll keep talking to myself; as my Dad says, “You can’t find a better person to talk to.”
The class I’ve been teaching ends tonight. I’m eager to rejoin our Monday evening gatherings on Mondays.
Be well! Love you!!
Dream visitors..perhaps my abundance animals…?
There was a clear water pond below my house. As I knelt to look into the golden water, I could see all the stones and plants, still, in the water. An otter slipped in from below my house, followed by a black and white rabbit. I grabbed the rabbit out of the water, as I loooked for the river otter, its mate (my dream sense told me otters travelled in pairs) and any beaver or other creature connected to this pond. The rabbit stretched itself out and allowed my cats to sniff it and perch nearby. I kep my hand on its little belly, scratching it as it dried itself off in the grass and enjoyed by fingernails. I kept looking for those river otters, but then came back to attending the rabbit. I asked, “do you want to be my yard rabbit and live here?” and the rabbit told me, “Yes” (in it’s silent bunny language) and hopped off for further frolicking.
I was born in the year of the rabbit, and I am water rabbit, per Chinese Astrology. And I have been asking for the help of prosperity animals. I read it as there’s pleasure and fun on the way, May it be so for all of us!
Is there no gathering July 26? Seems not.x0o
