It's the Mercury Retrograde regime until November 1. Be. Be conscious. Look at your thinking and double check it in situations. Go ahead with your life, consciously. Merc Retro gives you the opportunity to see things as they always are in cartoon fashion so that you can be and be conscious, instead of knowing and willing your way through the dreamscape.

On 10/12, Venus and Saturn are hanging out in Virgo; also, the Moon and Mercury are conjoining in Scorpio. Likely you are trying to find some balance in your madonna/whore quotient. Give it up. Just let be the virgin whore chaste chaser that you aren't. That is to say, let the bod/persona do its split agenda and you be you, while they are busy grinding it out. It is sexy time mateys. Enjoy your wonderful self and whomever you are hanging with. Don't make it real or believe it. Play.

It's Joie de Libra time! Party, mingle, matify and evaluate the whole glorious gossip dripping who did or didn't do what to whom zoom of it all. Libra is the primordial Other, the Beloved, the mirror mirror on the walls of it all. Libra is the changing line in the hexagram. Libra is the bridge that belongs to neither side, longing for the impossible belonging. Librans have the most failings at love because they are so projected out upon the other and then there is no self for an other to embrace. Libra bears the positive fear that is called love. Libra is the effort to balance an endlessly dynamic system. Libra is the Tao. Libra is buried under the Ideal which constantly kills reality, all in the crazy dream with hope slathered on top.

Libra values highly. Beauty and grace and all things Lakshmi drip from on high. Down below there is the grinding fear that all of that is not working; the jig is up on the powdered wig that covers the itching lice of projections and their polarity of justice, fairness and love love love.

Librans, be your self and let go of getting the Other game right. The Other is none of your business. Take care of your own business and the Other won't have to act out your shadow for you. The fear of yourself is just an artifact of the software of Creation. Being your being is tabooed. Instead you are conditioned to be somebody, preferably whoever is standing in front of you. You can't be yourself; you are yourself. Claim it directly and then you can enjoy the funhouse mirrors of it all. If you do not value your self, no one else will. Valuing them and all the pretties and lovelies of the world cannot substitute. Lord knows that you have tried harder and longer and more beautifully than anyone else. Your failings are testament to how the software is glitchy and itchy, not you. Be and let the fickle, two faced, indecisive baggage of projection that was put on you long ago, fade away. Let the Dream fade away and enjoy your truly peaceful, delightful free playing being. And that goes for the rest of ya's too.

Embracefully,
Mark
