Let the Kookie Crumble
Happy Hanukkah this week, beginning the 8th. Happy all holidays
to every one in the days ahead. I hope you enjoy yourself and
your loved ones throughout it all. It has generally not been an
easy year for folks. So relax, enjoy and cruise through Mercury
retrograde. The more I look at the Mercury retrograde situation
the more I see it as a a time to let go, dissolve, cleanse, trim,
dispose and lighten the load all around. The doing of things can
be chunky and silly during its retrograde period, so take all
that with grains of salt but don't go frozen. The mind always,
all ways giveth and taketh away. You just notice it more during
Mercury retrograde and therein lies the rub.
Ungroundedness is still pervasive with the dearth of Earth signs.
Saturn will be unaspected for some days which can set up a sense
of non-direction. You can be looking for a leader but have no
traction to follow. Death is poignantly prevalent without any
evidence of it. You are grieving your original loss of your self.
You have been left with the head of a state you don't much like
as your identity. This applies both personally and collectively.
Leaders beget followers in the vacuum of one's own lost
sovereignty. Claim your own consciousness directly and cut the
drudgery loose. Serve nothing and be not served. Make choices and
see others making choices. Consciously being cuts through the
crap. Trying to figure your way out of the crap encrapsulates
you with that stankin' thinkin'.
I suspect we'll be seeing the emperors having no clothes. The
boss man is getting comeuppances this week. Sects, lies and
videotape reveal more than ever. The guilty are coming out of the
woodwork in that unconscious mechanism in which the deceiver
wants to be busted. All manner of torture, murder, holocaustic
behavior and imprisonment continues to be revealed. It's an Abu
Grahiabag of the shadow, a Guano Mentanomo Baywatch of old, nasty
boil-lancing excrescent thinking that if faced, can fall away as
a dominant subtext of human behavior. We do live in times of
great opportunity for the dissolution of the roots of crazy,
cruel behaviors.
On the 5th Venus and Mars conjunct at 2:13 pm PST in the power
point of mid Scorpio. That's juicy, about as juicy as you can
get. If you let the shadowed unconscious material come in to
light, you can enjoy simple, clear, impassioned interplay with
the world to the degree of intimacy that you choose. If you don't
tend to the shadow stuff, you are fucked. Now that is a familiar
state but it is likely getting tiresome to you. Intercoursery
with life is much more fun than being victimized by your karma
over and over again. It's not a big deal. Simply be direct with
others and allow them to be direct with you. Everybody has choice
in it all. But if you have chunks of old goop that still drive
the manifestation of your life, you end up haunted by the sense
that you are being done unto and that you must do unto others.
Yuck, suck and bad luck. Get off it and you will enjoy getting
off more and more.
I know you feel bad, ashamed, wrong, resentful, wounded and so
froth. Me too. But it isn't who you are. You are not your
feelings, your body, your soul, your karma, your thoughts, your
energy, your light, your shadow, your sacred yingyang crown of
the glorybe wazzuhallelujah. You are your being, your own
consciousness. The rest is a Dream that begets itself perfectly
by parting you from your self in plush polarization. Thereafter
you chase your tail/tale and that can stank back there where your
karma wants to become your future. You can try to get still,
silent, transcendent and so on but it really doesn't do shit in
the long run big picture. If it did, it would've worked by now.
So let go of pretense, postense and nonsense dressed up as
meaningful rigmarole and get on with life as you supposedly know
it. You are the fun in the Oreo of it all. Let the kookie
crumble.
