Crikey!
There's been a shift in how you feel and how things feel in general.
It's subtle. It's important. Though the victim noise is very loud in
everyone these days, you can begin to come off some of your big chunks
of story and move on creatively. Go easy. Don't let expectations
dominate. And please reach out to others and receive others generously,
if it suits you. It is apparent to folks, down deep in their roots,
that we're in a long haul process at the end of the Piscean Age. The
process is always existential and ultimately can't be shared. It's your
business. But you can share yourself with others as you choose for
comfort and play and perhaps edification. But it is lonely and
loneliness is very much up in folks. So go easy all around. People are
really hurting and they're really mad. Some of them will be popcorning,
going off, acting out their shit rather than cooking it. This is a time
of escalating drama. Don't take the escalator or the elevator. Be with
what is as it is and choose as you go.
Indecision ramps up with Mars in Libra for about six weeks. {Remember,
the planets don't do anything to you. They are simply symbolic in
reflection of what is going on. Be clear that you are not controlled by
whatever transits. I point to the patterns in the soup so you can
discern your way through your life and realize your own being.} It's
hard to choose these days because people are so overwhelmed. Libra
time, which we are heading into, illustrates the seesaw nature of the
mind. Libra is not any kind of weak or wishy washy Sign. It just sees
everything from the witness/catbird seat; what is seen is the endless
splitting of everything. Libra is not inherently split. Creation is
splitting. Be clear in what is valuable to you. Be clear in your
intentions for what you want. Then you'll clearly choose. Even then,
the inherent buyer's regret of choice appears after you choose. Libra
can really kick in then and try to get it right, get it ideal. It's all
back talk of the mind as it cycles around itself. You can't stop this.
It's the machinery. You can deny or transcend, but that actually takes
you out of the field of choice and cheats you of the opportunity to get
to the bottom of your own karmic patterns. For a much easier time,
claim your own consciousness and clear what isn't you.
The week ahead has two intense, ephemeral Grand Crosses from the 10th
to the 14th because of the Moon moving through Taurus and Gemini. The
Fixed Sign Cross is very lined up in the power points, and the greatest
intensity is on 9/11, just in time for it's fifth anniversary. After
years of reflection, I find that the Twin Towers event was the most
shocking all the way around in my life time. JFK's assassination is in
second place and 1968 with the murders of MLK and RFK is in third.
Silly exercise, I know, but 9/11 has had my attention as they run
various shows about the whole thing. It's all the issues intertwined
into the story that make it so remarkable. At the time, I called it a
negative miracle. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. Will we ever
know what went on? Was it as it appeared to be? Who knows. The most
recent conspiracy theory involves the suggested fact that the Twin
Towers were rotting from galvanic corrosion caused by the unique
construction of the outer aluminum weight bearing shell interacting
with the rest of the steel structure. The suggestion is that it was a
staged demolition. The untold billions to demolish the buildings
required some very fancy "re-financing" of the property.
It's a wild theory indeed, but notice how more and more in this world
there is a distinct plausibility to such outlandish notions. Wars are
simply and always fought for extreme economic gain for the few. In that
case, is it so far fetched that greed might have been at the bottom of
some crazy plot? Many millions of people do see that 9/11 was a
contrived act ala burning down the Reichstag, the German legislature,
by Nazi's. I once asked a professional airline pilot of 25 years
experience about 9/11. Without prompting, he stated that he couldn't
have flown the planes into the Towers with all his experience and
training. He said they were flying beyond the airframes' parameters and
would've been very difficult to handle. He didn't say, but what was
unspoken was that the planes were on fly by wire, programmed to hit
their targets and that's not something that the hijackers could do. He
implied that they could not have pulled it off in any way with as
little training as they had, let alone the extreme duress of the whole
deal. I do see it as a dark government op to manipulate the world
according to fascist plan. And likely, they think it's all in the best
interests of the fatherland or some crap. There is way too much
confirmed history of the USA's dark government bringing down other's
governments and on and on. More importantly, this coming last 20 years
of the Piscean Age, which happens every 26,000 years or so, offers this
amazing window on any and all of the machinery of Creation. The
emperors wear no clothes. These powermongers will be outted. They will
destroy their own selves in their own inimitable way. The meek will
inherit the earth because they don't abuse. Humans best get meek soon
or it's all over. Until America owns and makes amends for all the dark
ops of the dark government, it will pay evermore karmically.
Later in the week, the mutable Grand Cross shimmers for two days. The
more you depend on power, the more it will kick back on you. Be, intend
and choose and you get very little relative blowback. The comeuppance
of karma, the harvest of what has been sown, is revealed in this Cross.
Letting go is oh so helpful in all of this.
Steve Irwin, the Aussie Crocodile Hunter environmentalist, died this
past week. He was filming giant stingrays in Australian waters when one
of the rays he was passing over, turned and speared him in his heart
with it's foot long stinger barb. Steve's last dying act was to rip the
barb out of his heart. This huge hearted man died doing what he loved.
His commitment to the environment and his family were massive and
direct. He was criticized by people for his pesterance of the animals
he loved and for once dangling his son Bob over the jaws of a croc (a
bit too much like Michael Jackson's antic for the public).
I'm working in Australia for three months and will be working near his
home in a few weeks. It's a very sad time here. He is greatly loved for
being true blue, what you see is what you get; also for his great
fatherhood, his great work as an environmentalist and promoter of
Australia, and for being a larrikin - a young rascal in a man's body.
He's also famous for popularizing an old Brit word: Crikey, which is an
exclamation of excitement. I'd call Steve the Crikey Hunter. That's
what he really liked pursuing and his audience loved to join him.
Despite the showmanship, which no doubt he wielded with purpose, he was
deeply embedded in excellent scientific work for his beloved crocs.
Crocodile is symbolic of old power. Interesting that he who hunted them
got stabbed in the heart. I reckon Steve took one for all of us in that
way. It's clearly so in his chart. There's only three recorded prior
deaths by stingray in Australia. It was a rare event. But Steve did
have his provocation karma and though these big rays seldom sting to
the death, they did the deed instead of all those other dangerous
encounters of the extremely close kind that he specialized in. He
pushed the envelope and the envelope pushed back. He knew, and likely
most people knew, he would go down in this way. He and his wife knew
and I reckon his kids knew.
His eight year old daughter and first born, Bindi (she came out of her
parents' third eyes), is taking on his mantle. She has a show coming
out world-wide in January; Steve was filming for it when he perished.
She's a star. It's apparent in her chart. Steve was the booster rocket
but I reckon Bindi is the payload. He calls her and he leads young
people to be: a wildlife warrior. Thanks to all who fight for species
and planet. Good on ya! It's a very tough fight and likely too late for
scores of scores of species, but keep on keeping on. It all comes and
goes, but we do enjoy the wonders and hate to see them go.
So........ let us pull the barbs out of our own hearts, despite the
attacks. I know you do and I thank you. There are many dangers in the
waters ahead. Enjoy your swimming. Be with the wonder.
Warm embrace,
Mark
