Teaching the Centaur new tricks.

Gemini & Sagittarius

While meditating with the lunar nodes, I’ve been contemplating a lot on instinct and logic; instinct centering more towards Sag, and logic to Gemini.

Reactions, “developed instincts”, can often hamper the processes and skills we are trying to develop into the future. Acting on instinct without thinking and applying known wisdom often results in a hasty mishap.

When I feel resistance towards a new action or practice, I look for a logical development which may ease the difficulty a touch. More often than not, the reason for my trouble or failure lies in not utilizing the knowledge necessary to accurately apply my energy.

It’s all in the technique. Of course there are infinite ways to do many things, but certain styles are more effective in given situations. It’s advantageous to develop these core skills. This gives us more energy on the other side to do more of what we desire.

Using your head takes energy in it’s own right, and can eat up time just as fast as any physical task. There is something to be said about feeling your way through process intuitively, letting your instincts guide you allows natural flow so that you may most know yourself and your natural form. In knowing both sides, you may then marry them. Integrating new, ingenious designs into your already perfect human form.

Peace & Love

What are you playing at?

Play is an integral part of life. Sometimes we play so serious that we forget how to have fun in the first place.

Play is integral with curiosity. Something unknown strikes our fancy, and we seek to develop our relationship with it by playing within the confines of our own reality and imagination. This new, outside influence has lessons of its own to teach us, and opens the box of our consciousness in order to assist the process with its own set of rules.

Aries pokes Taurus with a new idea.

Gemini talks it over with Cancer to decide how they feel about the whole situation.

Leo laughs at this newly born consciousness, eager to develop new skills with Virgo to progress the game.

Libra cautiously reaches out to Scorpio, as they obviously don’t want to miss the fun, but are inherently aware of the differing values which might prevent a good time.

Sagittarius chuckles with Capricorn.. They’d already seen the rules long before this new cowpoke showed up in town.

Aquarius invigorates the oldest among them, reminding that all new energy brings about change. “Have some fun while you’re at it”, reminds Pisces.

Feel free wherever you find yourself playing. This will unlock the most natural path to the fundamental skills which you are now developing. Though it may be rocky, this is still the road.

Love ya’ll super hard! Take care Bebez!

Live Air

The wires are hot, our minds are on fire. Enter, Aquarius, the Mastery of Air. The old ways are crumbling, giving way to glowing hot filaments which light our way in the darkness, granting us ease of foresight which would previously have required a cautious flame.

We have the means to see into the future. To engineer our own success through the development of ideologies which hold the blueprints of our desired outcome. This comes at a cost to our tribal past; the traditions and modes of operation which evolved from the cold stone that came before; the hard rock that gave us shelter where before we had only the ceiling of sky and bed of earth to hold us.

The timing of this great conjunction couldn’t be more fortuitous. The benevolent and gregarious entity in Jupiter would have it no other way, as it is by this nature that we are experienced enough in the ways of the world to finally see the best move to make.

The oscillating Saturnian/Jovian spirit, creates an inverse dynamic. Taming the machine as to preserve our humanity and teaching us respect in bearing the power of the gods. This energy is screaming for restriction upon the rashness of its release.

As the age of information dawns, drawing a stern eye across the very beacons which launched us into a new era may be the seed of preservation we so direly seek to plant.

Our attentions flutter at the influx of data and we forget how to breathe. We lean on technological advents to assist in our daily lives as our muscles atrophy and ancient techniques fade away that were once critical to our survival.

As our network gains speed and versatility, the floodgates require fortification to ensure that we aren’t swept away in a torrent of our own invention. The use of our new tools and gadgets requires a source of power, and often this electric initiation can shock ourselves and those around us. The birth of these new opportunities can be a great boon to our collective awakening, but temperance of these techniques may be the salvation desired for our continued evolution.

Having the wisdom to turn on a light comes secondary to learning how to flip the switch. Illumination will always bring greater insight to situations that may have been impossible to understand or explore. Holding space for the darkness, the quiet place where we may find peace and grounding often bids for the intentional discipline of channeling the light in ways that are considerate of all surfaces that would absorb or reflect this radiance.

We are Prometheans. We carry the gift of the cosmos in our pockets as playthings. This cycle will teach us how to play with the fire, and keep it as equal partners.

I look forward to meeting you in the light. Much love, many thanks.

Do the Can Can’cer’

We arrive here on the eve of so many great conjunctions of capricious entities and spirits with so much further to climb. The sweet nutrients of the pool which holds us from the ocean’s stronger currents holds the keys to strengthening our personal and collective shells into a form which will not chip away at what remains of the chitinous carapaces of our seasons past.

Cancer represents the home, the mother, the inner child. It is absolutely necessary to continue to bathe in the warmth and comfort of the places closest to us to stand as a firm reminder of what it is that we defend with our sojourns into the great world beyond our front door.

If we can’t comfort the child who is fearful of the monsters under their bed, then those same demons will break down the barriers that keep us safe. Huffing, puffing, billowing with smoke, everything we hold dear can be swept away in the blink of an eye.

The most vulnerable time in the hermit crab’s life is that tender moment between shells. Scuttling between the rocks to avoid the swift eel or octopus which may attempt an easy meal, this is the time where senses must be most keen, and silence through stillness is the greatest ally through which the newly grown crustacean must seek structure.

I hope that you all have wondrous new opportunities to discover new crevices in the light of this Eclipse. Continue to sift through the sands of the past for any forgotten nutrients which may boost your battery in the coming months of famine which so iconically identify the biting cold winter of Capricorn season.

Draw in the warm waters to set steam upon the snow.

Respect the Crab Peoples

Capricorn Convergence

Maturation is a feat of many magnitudes that can barely be understood until we are on the doorstep of the new responsibilities that would never have been visible if it wasn’t for our broadening awareness and focus on what it is that we truly wish to grow into.

For so many months now, I have been struggling to understand the collective that we all wish to be a part of. I have been quite intimidated and overwhelmed by the feat of strength that is climbing the ladder of ambition in order to reach the frigid peaks which follow the path away from the naive comforts of childhood.

I always thought it so silly that adulthood was inhabited by so many who seemed so austere and constricted by the myriad of roles which a fully grown human being constructs around their innermost selves as a way of paying respect to the denizens of this realm.

Now, the picture becomes clear. Once we reach the top of our current peak, the new destination becomes clear, but the new obstacles in our path can easily dishearten us and make us cold as the ice that caps the snowy mounts which we are so drawn towards and inspired by.

The greatest challenge of all is to remain joyful and exuberant in the face of the daunting tightrope which leads us across the abyss and towards a fortress of our own power which holds the hearth where we might find some rest and recuperation from the harrowing journey which can eat up the last of our reserves and leave us with little more than the skin on our backs.

Hold strong in your cause. Don’t let the faulty footing drop you down to the vices and vexing which might have before seemed like your only path to salvation. Though the path is dangerous, the crumbling cliff facing behind you is only going to lead to a crumpled form which may never again be able to grasp the next hold in your ascent.

Keep climbing. Don’t forget where your integrity lies, or what morals brought you to this vista in the first place. It is the Law of the Land which binds us together.

Love

Oh Lucky Libra

Diplomacy is deceiving. Oh lady of the scales, the eyes of the snake charmer lay hidden behind your blind. Venusian politics are far off from the hot shot of Martian law.

The lens of Libra is one of peace and non-aggression. It can take a great act of willpower to hold your personal energy (Mars/Aries) and make space for someone else.

Being a cool, collected channel for other people to amplify and reflect their signal off of can be a daunting task at times. It requires that the ambitions of the receiver be set on the back burner so that one may focus on listening to the party who is taking the place of the projector.

This can create conflicts that are seen quite strongly in the dynamics brought in by the crossing axis of Cancer/Capricorn, where the nodal axis is currently in square to the transiting planets passing through Libra. Cancer, wishing to express and explore its own feelings for fulfillment can often get in the way of the more social senses of Libra. Capricorn, wishing to pursue its own ambitions, may seem callous and uncaring in moments where consideration for the partner become paramount.

Peace as the cessation of conflict becomes the gem of the Libran mantle. We all have conflicts throughout our daily existence. We get to make the choice to continue the fight or attempt a reconciliation with our efforts. Often abandoned for the slow moving tectonic drift of resentment which holds fast through begrudging connections, the virtue of diplomacy is scoffed at by warmongers, and laughed at by those who would rather take an eye for the one they’ve lost.

Let’s get along.

Much Love, Many Thanks

Nitty Gritty Ditty

The aftermath of the Full Moon in Aquarius was quite electrifying. Images of survival in the wilds of Leo stand starkly behind, as the Sun moves into Virgo.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’ve been putting my Sunglasses up for peer review. I’ve been in a space of massive spiritual transformation and overhaul, and this has dredged up some sludge from my deepest recesses which needs to be purified and purged. It’s true that fear and hate should have no place in a world we are trying to fill with love and courage, but we must know that these essences rise up from our past to challenge our future.

Virgo energy is the absolute best for taking a close look at the sight glass that you want to use in seeking for that far off Vista over long forgotten seas. The practicing vibes are very strong in the air, with the Sun, Venus, Mars and soon to be Mercury and the Moon following suit through Virgo.

Starting a new cycle can be jarring and disorienting if not a little frightening at first. We’re now coming to the point where the new energies and activities have had time to show their light through our closest selves during the Mercury Rx through Cancer. This led up to a burst out on stage with our eternal children through Leo. Sometimes this energy is welcomed with open arms and a healed heart, and other times it is rebuked with bad reviews and either complete rejection, or a period of revision which is felt through the processes of Virgo and the 6th house.

Either way, revision is the necessary element here. We’ve built the magical machine which may carry us into the fruitful new fields of beauty and love awaiting us in the Lands of Libra, now we just have to run some final stress tests to make sure that the joints don’t buckle under the weight of fated factions who would test the resolve and reason behind each of our own personal scales of relation.

Good luck in Virgo season sprites. I’m rooting for ya so that we may grow.

Always the Mother, Always the Child

We harden to protect our soft meat. We harden to protect that which we feel responsible to. Little do we know that the easiest way to fall and hit our heads is always to harden and see the world harden against us.

If we’re always playing the role of parent, how will we ever find our inner joy that emboldens the spirit in a manner that provides the lens with which we can authentically experience that which brings us true happiness. Not the kind that is sold on TV, not even the kind that comes from what is assumed to be a “Job well done”

Too much child-like energy also desires a fair balance through the energy of the mother and the opposing energies of the father and the objective observer which wishes to see a world where all can coexist without fear.

I go into this New Moon seeking to balance out my own Lunar Leo. Too often as of late have I oppressed my own Moon in the mindset that I have indeed overindulged in joy, and owe it to humanity to be wary and vigilant towards the nurturance of those around me in order to bring my social duty back into a manageable state. In being too concerned for the welfare of the public children around me, I have also lost sight of my own projections of perceived dangers which might cause further trauma in an already burning landscape.

The feedback loop created by such emotional responses to threats afar forms an endless loop of increased sensitivity within myself for the other. Reinforced personal boundaries and forgiveness for naive transgressions of the past is creating the gateway to deal with trauma. Lilith, I’m looking at you. Sitting at the back of the universe, feeling all that flows through her, and preparing to reengage with the nexus in order to rewire the ley lines that prepare for the conscious evolution of an animal species which seeks to elevate itself above the current hierarchy of raging instincts and prideful preconceptions.

Enjoy this place that you find yourself in, knowing that you are trying your best to acclimate to a new role in the universe, caring for all who traverse, and wishing the best life possible for a peaceful collaboration.

Just remember. Your first responsibility will always be to yourself. Every neglect of the first cup pours forth a magnified toxin into each vessel which follows suit. In order to purify the waters and provide sweet honey to the hive, enjoy your own flower. This prevents a spiteful spike in the public’s punch bowl.

I love you. I want you to live. For that, the Earthen realm must first flourish. Leo often wants to have its cake at the expense of the earth spirit. Let go of yolo ego if you want anyone else to survive. Don’t be selfish. Those who you care for die a little every time you do. Even though we’re taught self reliance, service to others is a necessary practice of time honored humility. Virgo Season is coming. It’s not all about the stage.

Shattered Shells

Capricorn. Social Responsibility. The tail of the dragon is showing us which qualities are golden and ripe for continuation in the process of honoring what is perceived as our duty to reality.

Maturation brings new awareness to what is worthy responsibility to take on. These material charges would never be considered in a lower state of consciousness for the self or others.

The restrictions that this can place on freedom are astounding, even with Jupiter in Sagittarius, though still retrograde.

Retrograde Mercury is re-entering Cancer this week. Reviewing how to playfully engage in communication and interaction with others without succumbing to the harsh realities of Saturn and Pluto is going to be very valuable.

Venus in Cancer will oppose Pluto on Sunday morning.

We all experienced the Eclipse earlier this month. New contracts in the realm of the innermost space and experience will now begin to show their fruit. What did you start at the beginning of July? What are you seeing reflected back at you from the effect that you make on the world?

Coexisting Calamities

1st 1/4 - Libra-Capricorn

Coming out of an Eclipse can be one of the most intense energetic swings that one may experience when tapped into the collective consciousness.

Cancer and Leo can cause some extravagant outbursts of emotional energy, seen as brilliant and brazen displays of our innermost feelings. If we aren’t taking care of our inner child, this brings the defensive pinchers of the crab into the forefront of our interactions.

Virgo on the lunar cleanup made for a great time to prepare for a diplomatic solution through the 1st quarter in Libra.

Can the Leo Ego. Show the lion’s best side with a little humility and playful appreciation.

Cancer is care. Take care, don’t throw your psychic trash in there. Purify the Pool.
