Pull the Barbs Out of Your HeartShift happens. Unbuckle your seatbelt; get out of auto; be and play. There's the New Moon Solar Eclipse in the last degree of Virgo at 4:45 am PDT on the 22nd. At 9:04 pm PDT later that day the Sun goes into Libra. The 23rd is Rosh Hashanah, Jewish New Year. On the 24th at 1:33 pm PDT Jupiter squares Neptune. This is the last time this round and has been one of the many key intensities of 2006. May they rest in peace. The last round was 9/17/1993 and was a relative quicky with Neptune in Capricorn and Jupiter in Libra. Nothing quite like a quickie in Libra. Or would you prefer the slowie we've had this year with Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Aquarius. The next is multiple hits, the slowie, in 2019 with Jupiter in Sagittarius, which it rules, square to Neptune in Pisces which Jupiter co-rules; that'll be very intense with Saturn and Pluto chumming in Capricorn. Anywho, I reckon that you'll generally start to feel distinctly better with these shifts. No guarantees what with all the mayhem in the psyche of so many and such rolling tribulations so that we shudder, and perhaps shutter. Much of the mayhem of this year has indeed been represented by the Jupiter/Neptune square, but more importantly these were two corners of the ongoing Grand Cross that backed off into a T-cross of long duration because of Saturn generally squaring to Jupiter all year and opposing to Neptune. The key to that rare and most intense Fixed Sign Grand Cross that we had last September through to June of this year was an unusually long visit of Mars in Scorpio because of it's retrogradation and other planets conveniently passing through Scorpio right on time. So everybody is in this extreme hangover that I see lasting in individuals and the collective for decades. It's been that intense and difficult because the Grand Cross has brought up everything primal, low brain stem and reactionary. That shit gonna clang for a long time and it's at the bottom of the human imprint and more. The so called good news is that if we roto rooter the ancient crunchy bits, we can have a better time on the planet and more importantly be our selves. We're passing from the gut eating worry of Virgo into the full on fear of Libra and by the time we get to Scorpio season, it'll be full on terror - the touchstone of our era, the "fun" in fundamentalism. I suppose we all contribute to the Fund a Mentalism club, but these old boy networked skull and bones motherfuckin' fatherrapin' mad men have gotta go. Why didn't Gore produce "Convenient Lies"? In my opinion they all collude at that level consciously or unconsciously and we are sick and tired of it. Election season is heading full on for mid term congresspeople in the States. I'm glad I'm in Australia until right before election day. It's apparent that it's largely a grand waste and smokescreen. Until true reform comes down in all these institutions, the fascism that always lurked with perhaps some apparent benigness, is now being outed. It's faux democracy until the people get real and lead. But we tend to be all so busy gerbilling on the breadwheel of consumerism to effect any change. Essentially that's why it has to grind to the bottom. Are you sick and tired yet? How many people do you know that haven't been sick and tired for a long time?!? We have a brand new spankin' baby girl planet: Eris, pronounced ee ris. She's the goddess of Discord. Isn't that nice? I guess they didn't like Rainbow or Snowflake. When planets are named, astrologers then suss out the symbolic meaning inside and outside and watch what happens. It takes a long time actually. Pluto hasn't gone even half of it's orbit since it was discovered and that was 85 years ago. But new planets are named and symbolized by when they are born, by what is happening archetypally. Fascinating actually and I didn't expect to have such a thing happen in my lifetime as an astrologer. Nevertheless, it's Terror Infirma and Eris decided to make her appearance. Remember, ya can't have accord without discord. Ah, the polarity of it all...... I haven't heard anything yet about her orbit. Right now Eris is at 21 Aries retrograde. She moves glacially, 37 degrees for the entire 20th century. Pluto's orbit is roughly 250 years and moves about a degree per year. Eris moves about a degree every three years in this part of her orbit. Her journey around the Sun could be 750+ years. So, don't take Eris too personally. Most people don't resonate at the level of Pluto any way and Eris, well who knows? But she represents archetypal experience individual and personal. And she has a so called good side, though that's a ridiculous term. Bindi Irwin (see below) and all the clear and present children and their missions likely are represented by Eris. In mythology, Eris stirred up the goddesses that sparked the Trojan War. {Hurray! Maybe men will use condoms now.} She also stirred up the definitions of a planet such that Pluto has been ousted to a minor planet. (The poor boy is 70 miles smaller in diameter than her.) I reckon that Pluto will be the Trojan Horse in this deal. Much, much more will be revealed..... There's a young Israeli boy, and I'm sorry I haven't found his name yet, who has taken the lead by saying that the adults have thoroughly screwed it up in the Middle East. So he organizes Israeli/Palestinian kids getting together to dialog. Rosh Hashanah indeed! Dear Bindi Irwin will lead a most interesting transformation. It has to do with being, being real, being yourself. If you perchance caught Bindi's speech which she gave at the Steve Irwin Memorial this past week, you can see what clarity is coming down the pike. She's eight and has a tv series coming out in January. Thank you parents and children and community! I see spectacularly clear ones all over the world in my work. I can talk for hours about those kids especially. I get to be a bit of a nutty uncle with them, my pleasure. I have clients that are ten; they are right with me for the entire hour session and I pull no punches. I have a client who is directly clearing her own karma, as I share with people in a karmic clearing session; she is fifteen. You all know lots of kids like this now. To hell with all the vanity of indigo and rainbow crystal whatevers. (How's about looking after the browns/reds/yellows.) Special they are, you might say, relative to their elders. But it's not because they are our hope! It's because they are real!!! Hope never comes; it's palliative. But the Irwins and many more like them, young and old, are getting direct. Let's go. Full on! Their heart is not on their sleeve. It's in their hands, their vision and their work (and I do mean work; these little ones "cook" whomever they are around; not always pretty, but very beautiful; the parents certainly know!). They don't operate by will and power. They are being their selves and they are making choices. The karmic looping of their lives will indeed be diminished for them and for the world. If this year's Jupiter/Neptune square has been brutal on hope, hurrah! We've been living on hope for way tooooooo long. It's projection. Just go for it. Steve Irwin didn't so much dwell on hope. He went for it! Despite the hopelessness all around, he pulled the barbs out of his heart, and went for it. This is why he has such a deep impact in life and now death and beyond. Go for it or sit around and hope. Next week I have the privilege to give a couple of talks on karma and the Irwins up by their home. They are iconic. It's not easy being iconic! If you thought wrastlin' crocs was tough, crikey! Crocodiles are symbolic of that old boy network of power, the deep reptilian brainstem and even karma. That's why he was wrastlin' 'em! He did it for the passion and adventure. That captivates, especially kids. But he did it, in my opinion esoterically to do the real work of getting familiar with his and their and our brainstem. He did it with intact extreme tenderness actually. Despite appearances that are so easy to judge ala Germaine Greer. [Ya, I reckon he hassled the critters from their daily routine. But Steve was incredibly committed (and effective) to seeing that they had a day to live and another day to live. Warrior on!] These are the kinds of barbs in his heart that he chose to pull out over the years. We all do. It ain't easy. It's precious and kind and courageous. More of that to come, ay? Send less barbs; pull more out. Be. Be with what you love. Be with the ones you love. Be, not here and now. He demonstrated that here and now can get up and go in an instant. Nothing is here and now in the way that you think. But you are. Be on to what you want and keep pulling out those barbs. You will be well met. His memorial telecast was seen by something like a hundred million children. That's more than a hundreth monkey. Move over fossils; the youngin's are comin'! May life be more naturally wild in the heart! Fun and adventure and peace. Once folks get warrioring on the old, shared ignorances, war can become obsolete. Bad karma is not cured by good karma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Karma, the past that wants to become your future, is dissolved by being. Not on some damn sacred cushion either. Crikey. Be and life will follow. Dancing, yes?
