Friday the 13th is a lucky day if you are being your wonderful self. Fear arises when you are not being yourself. You walk under the latter, afraid of the past. Projection is the Game. The traumas of the past impinge your present and future; False Evidence Appearing Real ......as that old chestnut goes. A rabbit's foot seems to be a lucky charm for you, but it is based upon some rotten luck for the rabbit. Give up your magical thinking, but play magically. Don't let the supposed real get in the way of you enjoying the surreal.

New Moon in dear Aries is on the 17th at 4:36 am PDT. Saturn goes direct in Leo on the 19th at 2:26 am PDT. The beautiful kite formation, four of six points in a Fire/Air Grand trine, continues elegantly. Venus over in Gemini is beginning to form a T-cross as it widely opposes to Jupiter in Sagittarius and square to Mars in Pisces. There's considerable pressure to get on with things in your life along with considerable obstacles externally and internally. It adds up to rush/limbo conservatively speaking. With it all you can be kicking your ass. Go easy, easy undoes it. Everything is shifting so quickly, for you and the whirled, that you can't nail anything down, can't plan, can't get on with your life. You are staring the Dream right in the face. Don't make it yours; don't make it come true. Let it melt. It's just the persistence of memory. Hello Dali! If you can't appreciate the surreal, the years ahead may be more difficult for you.

I saw a lovely film recently: Beatrice Wood: Mama of Dada. What a gorgeous being. She passed on in 1998 when she was 105. Beatrice landed in Paris at the early part of the 20th century when life and art percolated in a fantastic, I opening way. She lived and loved exquisitely, truly being herself. Her art followed suchly. Bea Here Now indeed! She chopped Wood and carried fine water.

Here's a favorite, a client of mine named Donald Roller Wilson, who'll get you chuckling if it's your cup of tea: www.donaldrollerwilson.com. I recommend not following your bliss during Armageddon. Follow your chuckle. If anything tickles your funny bone, there you go. Laugh laugh wink wink. What else ya gonna do? Making it all real and serious won't get you to the simple, elegant delight of your own being. Light sure as shift won't get you to lighten up. Gallows humor can get you through the night.

Things shall lighten up a bit in the psyche with Saturn going direct. I reckon that you'll feel less like a powerless thumbsucking baby and you know what I'm talking about. You have a reservoir of creativity that is ready to flow and go and grow. Git 'r done........ but be yourself and giggle all the way and beyond the bank.

Spring eternally,
Mark
