Happy Thanksgiving. Remember your thankstaking too. When you are thanked or are given unto, receive, if you so choose. Most of my readership and clients are big time givers. It's time to be receivers. If nobody knows what you want and thereby they don't give to you what you want, it's time to inform them. If they don't hear, repeat (or move on). This is actually very difficult for many people who have been on the Path for a long time (corporal tunnel syndrome). You are not some vile goat for having desires and having your desires met. It's just fine to take, to receive, to be self full. Let people give to you. It's a joy. And get rid of the parasites.

Happy Mercury direct, as of the 17th at 4:25 pm PST. Venus headed out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius earlier in the day at 12:02 am PST. The Scorpio theme is beginning to melt; in a week, only Mars and Mercury will be therein. In December we will have weeks of having five or six planets in Sagittarius. This will be out of the Grand/T Cross pattern that we have had for a year or so. The relief will be palpable. Sagittarius has its own feisty edge, but the extreme guilt and rage and depression will lift. Circulation will return personally and collectively. Less suicidal tendencies will be evident, but more homicidal tendencies will come forward. People will be coming out of their shells, but may act out with their own varieties of shelling others.

War and revolt will become easier. The tinder is dry; times are fuelish; and low sparks from high heeled old boys will light the Way. (America's arms industries are making a killing in every sense as their profits have doubled as we fight for freedom loving people against the evil doers.......... ya, right.) It's the Freedom of the Profits that Amerika sells and this thick and grotesque karmic calculus is coming home to roost and roust. Heads will roll and tails will be kicked. Power mongers of any sort, light or dark, will be getting theirs abundantly, including the shadow of their unconscious projections. Let the power stories fall away and freely go about doing what you want to do. This is the nature of Sagittarius and of being. Power and control beget powerlessness and out of control. We're going to see these themes royally. Fight and flight will rage against the Empire and umpire. Conflagration by friction and fission flare furiously. Global torching surpasses warming. As your life goes incandescent, let it burn. The point is not to get to the Light; instead, let the burn illuminate your own being. Realize your own consciousness and let the Dream burn.

More has been destroyed in the name of beliefs than anything else. We are now watching in our lifetime the results of Belief. At the end of the Piscean Age, you can see what is always there and what the consequences are. Beliefs are projections and only result in suffering. They are sold as a relief from suffering. If they worked, they would have worked by now. Consider letting go of your beliefs. They and the Truth do not set you free. They just give you more and different baggage that drags in all sorts of strugglesque dramas that maybe you'd like to do without. Anything after Be is suffering. Be lief, be good, be here now, be seech....... Just be and see and play. Let the catatonia of dogma melt. Give up rulership with all of its rules and hierarchy. Give up righteousness and all of its unconscious efforts to redeem some imagined and enchanted wrongeousness. Give up kicking your ass through the goal posts of life. Give up meaning and purpose and instead: choose freely in real time without your head buried in the future sands of time. You don't need a Mission Statement of Existence. You're the fun; the hunt for the promised land, the Pure Lands or whatever is the endless distraction from the joy of your own being. The Path only goes in circles, maybe spirals on a good day. It's all on the Wheel, but you aren't, except where you think you are and then the Wheel thinks you. You get the Purpose Driven Life with your Higher Power at the Wheel steering you right to Santa's Village or some such. The defense of belief, the defense of meaning is the giveaway of all the unconscious crap attached to them. Cut bait. Burn will occur, but what'll be burning is not you and you will not miss it. Freedom is your nature, not something that you need to fight for or believe in or swear some allegiance to some flag for.

Will you feel naked? Yes. But it's not you that is naked, it's the mind, the software of the Game that feels naked. It doesn't like to be seen. That's where belief comes in. The leap of faith is a slumbering. And by the way, Science, which is the dominant religion of our day, has the same silly leaps of faith and goofy logics within its own Logic. Consider being beyond your beliefs and all of their do's and don'ts.

Uranus goes direct on the 19th at 10:08 pm PST. We won't have any planets retrograde until December 6th. We don't get these patches too often. There were some days in 2001 and '02. The next time is in late '08. I was born without any retrograde planets and in all of these years I don't remember seeing any of my thousands of clients without retrograde planets. It's an oddity. There's a little less drag when everything is direct. After the dragishness of the last year, this will feel especially peculiar, like getting a cast off of your leg. The walking seems a bit funny. You may notice yourself looking over your shoulder for something to be holding you back and voila........ nothing is there. Carry on. No need to be beholding to anything. The soul belt light has gone off. You're free to move about the cabin. There never has been a Pilot like the mind would have you imagine.

New Moon is on the 20th in late Scorpio at 2:18 pm PST. Then the Sun conjuncts Jupiter on the 21st at 3:16 pm. The 22nd has the Sun entering Sagittarius at 2:02 am PST and the 23rd has Jupiter entering Sagittarius at 8:44 pm PST. In a matter of days, the Grand Cross fixity of the last year will dissolve and morph into dear Sagittarius. This bodes well in general if you are choiceful. If you are identified in the higher mind games of light and dark and all that shadowed stuff, the karma will be hitting the fan. There will be a very strong aroma. The hopelessness of living a life based in hope will be revealed. The effort to do good to amend whatever you did bad will come to light. You are likely to feel relief in the days ahead except where the yoke is on you.

Unfetter.

For the American Thanksgiving Thursday, Jupiter won't depart Scorpio until later evening, so it could make for a most resentful day full of the bile of unresolved familial doodies. Let it all burn. You are seeing things as they were and this too shall clear if you so choose. What They do with it is their beeswax. See your roots and move on. Let go of unconscious consuming and being unconsciously consumed. Be your self. Give and receive playfully rather than diligently. Celebrate your and their being. Rest and recreate. Be clear in your intentions. Easy undoes it.

Free you be,
Mark
