Mars heads into Cancer 9/28 at 4:54 pm PDT. The Grand Cross double bind boring constrictor is now done after nearly four weeks duration. Please do some very nice, quite selfish things for your dear and haggard self. Hugs all around and cheerio!

How’s the grind of the mind goin’ for ya? This is a noisy time with no end in sight. No wonder some percentage of the population wants the world to end. Have you ever heard of anyone committing suicide by shooting them self in the heart? That would be the most efficient means, I reckon. There’s a very good and obvious reason why the gun gets pointed at the head. I do not recommend that. The karma is not worth it. You just get the same old shift, different daze. However, it is likely to be tempting at times, given all the churn in the brain pan.

A great prevalence of double binds that loop so tightly such that you can’t tweeze them out prevail. Figuring them out, willing them out or meditating them out are old strategies that are no longer working. The noise is not you. It’s actually not in your head. What you’re perceiving is the software of Creation. I recommend that you claim your own consciousness in order to turn off the software that is so hard and wearing. Peace be what you are. You’ll never find it in the Dream, but you can try forever and a daze.

The Planets are arrayed all around three quarters of the Zodiac this month. You can feel scattered and distracted by too many things to do, too many fires to put out, too many mouths to feed and such. These are worrisome times and there’s so much more to come. Be gentle with your self. Be intentional. Be. You do have choice, but your choice can be buried alive under the weight of your spinning karma. Guilt is slamming and ramming. Guilt is anger turned in. Let it out, clearly. Folks will be violating others through the violence of their unconscious projections. Clean that stuff up for you and be aware of the loose cannonades firing all around.

Venus enters Virgo 10/7 at 11:53 pm PDT. Going inside is no longer a refuge…… there’s just more anxiety in there too. Allow the foibles of body and personality. Cultivate rest and relaxation despite the screaming pressures. Take care of your precious self. You can harvest so much now if you are clearly your self. Jupiter squares Uranus 10/9 at 11:245 am PDT forming a T-Cross with Saturn. Don’t push the river or else you’ll be up shit creek getting paddled. Choose. I cannot emphasize this enough. Control no longer works. It’s based on victim projections and you get slammed by tyranny and glommed by saviors. Beliefs are combusting. They don’t work either. Exercise your free choice in the field of dreams. Offer yourself generously with eyes wide open.

New Moon is in Libra 10/10 at 10:01 pm PDT. Fear and love are intertwining. Stay conscious and don’t chase after the projections. Mercury goes retrograde 10/11 at 9:00 pm PDT until 11/1. Again, let out anger and choose freely, consciously. Otherwise your guts will be grinding grossly or you’ll be kicking the dog. All of the Water Signs have Planets in them. There’s actually a lot of graceful pathways to let the emotional stuff pass. There is traction from here on out. You can get on with things. This is a very auspicious time for furthering your creative work. The burden of the body can be a real drag. What folks don’t face in their lives and emotions will be densely expressed in what people call illness. Medicine isn’t made for this looping goop. Face your unconscious and discharge the old stories. Easy undoes it.

The Sun enters Scorpio 10/23 at 12:16 pm PDT and later that day Mercury enters Libra at 8:37 pm PDT. Are you randy, baby?!? The hots’ll be burnin’ in the yearnin’. Be conscious and take sincere precautions if you do not want to reproduce. Altared statements of the wedded kind are very attractive. The consequences are immense. Be aware. The trance dance of romance is more entraining than entertaining, but the mind and crotch and heart will tell you otherwise.

Full Moon in Taurus/Scorpio is on 10/25 at 9:51 pm PDT. It’s pretty groovy if you can let go of the neurosis and psychosis. Drop the holitosis too. Neptune goes direct on Halloween at 1:06 pm PDT, plus the next day Mercury goes direct. It’ll be very scary indeed. The Dream is closing in, like fog. The mind howls and growls. The ghosts of karma rattle your chains. You realize that even the treats are tricks and all that gobblin’ deepens the trance with no end in sight. The age of terror is in full swing. The vault of mort is open and the mad muggles march.

The worst of it is the guilt, the shame, the endless feeling of disgrace that drives the grasping for Grace. You are not bad and you need not be good. Bad is all over the place for some time to come. It is only the reaction to chasing good/G’od. All power, divine and mortal, is crashing on the weight of projection. Governments, corporations, religions, institutions and their grand minions are collapsing in the powerlessness that has always run the power game. Get out of the way. Get off The Way. Anchors aweigh. Fly by the seat of your being or shame will come upon you inherently and needlessly.

The Moon does transit through Gemini 9/30 and 10/1. The Grand Cross of September in Mutable Signs burps a tad. Thinking does not help the sludge drudge. Allow yourself any helpless feelings, but carry on. Unstiffen the upper lip; it's okay if the lower one quivers a wee bit. Give a little lip to anyone, if that's appropriate. Let your lips touch others lips if that's your interest. Let the love move and groove, just don't believe it! Let it breathe and be and be with the ones you love.

Love,
Mark
