Be Cool

Well, well, sorta well..... Several slam bang days start the week. We just had a Full Moon; the bombs blew for that one. Then on the 22nd comes the Sun entering Leo at 1:41 pm EDT, followed by Venus entering Virgo at the Sphinx Point at 9:01 pm EDT and Mercury going retrograde in Leo at 11:00 pm EDT (direct 8/15). The Sun conjuncts Saturn in early Leo on the 23rd at 1:00 pm EDT.

This is actually a good chunk of reconfiguration. You may be spinning. Emotions are running high, so high that you may be fogged or seemingly inert. Mercury retrograde opposed to Neptune in Aquarius elicits considerable spaciness modified by the fact that we now have two planets in Earth signs. Your feet are on the ground, your head is in the clouds, your heart is open and you can't find your ass. It's just the mind. Strong polarization is setting up. We now have three of the four Fixed signs with planets in them and this will last 'til mid February 2006. Saturn is in Leo opposed to Neptune in Aquarius, both square and generally T-crossed to Mars in Taurus. You can use this time for clear focus. Go for it, despite how you feel/think and your conditions. Go for it.

It's braveheart season. Passion players have plotted their plans. Now comes the courage of their convictions, enough to scare lots of folks. The drama dairy is beginning to be milked for all it's worth and will keep one humping. Heat at every level is the theme. 'Til death do us parch..... The heart of the matter has dried with little raisin for being. Many things are squeezed. Power is on the sledge of oblivion ready to hammer home its terrible point. Arrogance is fragrant. Wars of the whirled ensue.

What's a person to do? Be with the ones you love but emphasize the being. The stories of love are going to be unwound and that means wounds come up. Let them come undone. The heart aches, happy or not. Go ahead and be childish. Not irresponsible and narcissistic, but simply playful. The weight has been heavy. The wait has been heavy. No rush, no burden. Time has its own way during Mercury retrograde anyway. Don't freeze up. Go ahead and get on with things. Being present allows you to turn on a dime in the fourth quarter when your last nickel is on the line for the big dollars. Spend some money on your self and some attention on others. Everything will be ticketyboo.

Anxiety is running deep but there is also a kind of sweetness. One can be anxious in dread and anxious in delighted expectation. Ahhh, the projections. That's where all the suffering comes in. Be and see. You are fine; things will be fine. Things and you may feel terrified at times. Brits seem to be doing quite well with the bomblastic turns of events. They are present with things much more than a lot of folks would be. Cheers!

I see that our current days are holding space for a future peace in the world that many of us may not live to see but that we are pregnant with. No big deal. Nothing to do. Much that will undo. That's the point of these years ahead. This world is shedding an old skin. Not a bad time but a time in which much that was dead and done drops away. Put on your old skins at your risk. Don't be silly. Be and sally through the silly.

Sojourning with you,
Mark
