Fear Knot, You Are Unwinding
This is an interesting little week. We start with Mars and Pluto
conjuncting on the 28th at 12:44 pm EST. It's been just shy of
two years since they last joined. This flames up everything
Scorpio. The Moon will move through that sign on the 1st and 2nd
as Mars is at the Galactic Center. There is so much
other-dimensional leakage into our world these days. You can
especially notice it this week. Basically Earth is fucked with a
lot. Think of all the good guys upstairs that tinker here. Also
notice that they have shadows which are their correspondent bad
guys that naturally are just the good guys' unconscious
projections. Aren't you tired of all the struggle over this blue
marble of a planet? Tell 'em to get lost, all of them; I mean the
good guys too. You won't miss them. They'll miss you and tell you
that you miss them. Repeat: tell them to get lost. They create
suffering by their meddling. We're fine.
Boogie man stuff is up. I see more scary movies are coming out,
right on time. Fear is probably the most popular emotion if you
add it all up. Love runs a near second but takes a back seat to
the deep juice of dear fear. See fear for what it's worth. There
is less there than all the emotional noise suggests. See that
there really wasn't a nasty under your bed when you were little.
So it also goes with the psyche.
Fear begets love begets fear begets love. You are your own
consciousness. Come out of the loops. Being present is hoped for
in love, but love doesn't ever quite deliver. Be. Be with the
one's you love. Love is in many ways a simple by product of
being. Then we think about........ Suffering and struggle arises
in the effort to get and be gotten. Be and the loneliness will
dissolve along with the cling thing.
Mercury and Venus enter Aquarius on the 30th and 2nd. Aquarius
will be the dominant vibe. For a few days we'll have no planets
in Earth signs. Beware of spacy disassociation. Accidents can
happen, so pay a bit more attention. You likely will enjoy a
deepening of community, of like valued sharing in your life. The
world is heading toward centering around affiliation at all
levels, rather than the turfland security of family, tribe,
company, nation and such. This is why the cretinesque trailing
edge of fundamentalism screams violently to keep everybody in
boxes of family values or religious paranoia and parochialism.
It's all breaking down and dissolving. Big noise is emitted when
this happens.
We all tend to long for deep association but it can be quite
difficult in modern life. The Net with its eBay trinket
collectors or bloggers or interest groups of myriad variety in
cyberland represent new strategies to join with others. The
connection of blood is waning as a main source of identification.
It'll always be there but our modern world is extremely fluid and
virtual. With all of that comes the ridiculous half-life of
ephemerality. Easy come, easy know, easy go, easy flow.
The psyche, personal and collective, longs for the good old days
when things were slow and solid. Good luck! As we pass through
Aquarius vibe time, this is very noticeable. Neptune moves
through the power point of mid Aquarius on the 1st. It had passed
through there back in April and June of 2004. This is
esoterically potent and takes time to sink in. This week it sinks
in. The Aquarian Age is here to stay for 2000 plus years and the
Piscean Age agenda is falling away precipitously. That is not
always a pretty sight. More will be revealed, sometimes
wrenchingly.
Aquarius can be very metallic, cold and calculated. Notice how
our techno existence is turgid with such dense but high
vibrational shimmer. This is the Saturnian aspect of Aquarius and
is transitional from patriarchal control patterns. The Uranian
qualities of Aquarius are much more naturally sovereign and free.
Bush is speaking to the Aquarian agenda. The problem is that the
boy hasn't dealt with his deep, dark shadow and is acting out big
time. Bombs away!
Freedom is inherent and does not need to be fought for. In this
world it will continue to be fought for, but who says it's free
here anyway? The Game is not free. There is free will to chase
your projections in a very limited field. The freedom, delight
and peace of your being does not beget heavy limitation. Every
struggle to get free maintains identification in being trapped.
Bush offers freedom to the Iraqis in a different way but they
hardly look like free living fellows. Bush works for the
unfettering of corporate powers so that they freely pillage and
plunder. All the array of new and improved........... whatever
with the new bells and whistles of dizzying choice about stuff
we'll never use or comprehend has become a modern disease. I like
things to work but I don't want to have to work all the time in
service to my tools of convenience. The world still can't get the
blinking VCR of the mind to turn off.
Strong movements back to Eden will continue. Heaven help anything
that is deemed Eden. Idealism kills more than we like to
recognize. All the love and care and intelligence of Aquarius,
and that is a whole lot, pours forth but can't still the waters
of discontent. Gluing humpty dumpty pieces together again does
not make peace. Being is peace, even in the midst of turmoil. You
can't learn it or make more of it. Peace is what you are. Be with
what is as it is while realizing that it is not you, that you are
not in it and that it will never fulfill you in any real way
materially or spiritually. Then there'll be peace and play, for
you..... and maybe a bit more for the world.
Jupiter goes retrograde on the first at 9:26 pm EST. It goes
direct June 5th. Fear is rising in the markets. It can push them
up or down. I expect lots of volatility, lots of uncertainty,
homeland insecurity. Bush is making Social Security into social
insecurity so he can secure financial securities for those powers
that are already holding their rich bags. Be clear in your
intentions so that you can see your way through the chop socky
daze ahead.
There are pressures to pull out of relationships of all kinds.
It's just the mind making noise. You are fine. They are fine. Be.
Be choiceful. Be expressful. No need to run to or fro. Let fall
away the projections. I offer a seminar on Karma and Relationship
that I highly recommend. It helps cut through the crap so that
you can be and choose freely. Give me a holler if you'd like me
to present in your area. You can cut through suffering for you
and thereby encourage others. You cannot cut through suffering
for anyone else. You can help, support, love and all of what we
do, but you cannot finally take away suffering for anyone and
therefore you can't take away yours by trying to take away
theirs. Rest into your own being and you will be present, which
will be delightful for you, and you will be much more useful to
others by your own choice without hooks attached. It's simpler
than you'll ever think.
Best to you and yours,
Mark
