So I was interested in being awake this early for the Mercury conjunct with Neptune in Pisces.  I think it was validating.  During that time I got a Google alert announcing the possibility of season 3 of Sense8, which is cool.  I had a lot of perceptions about the entertainment business and also the meaning of retrogrades.  Even now I’m doing a lot of work about finding the balance point between inner and outer for blogging.

The Moon is squaring Neptune tonight at 9:02 pm and I’m hoping this is fun, the way the Moon squaring the Sun is often fun. I’ll be keeping track of my day to see how these things go.

I’m very happy with astrological blogging in general, it’s helping me keep track of my own mind, and I can definitely see that it is a kind of practice for full trance channeling. 

This morning, right after the Venus retrograde, I had a kind of visual daydream of King Spa, where I haven’t been in 3 months, and all the really amazing experiences I had there.  I was thinking I should go back and then minutes later I checked my e-mail and saw that I’d received a “Groupon” e-mail for $15 off King Spa.  So even my spam is telepathic now.

There isn’t a lot to remark on from yesterday except that I felt pretty good and I am getting some control of my mind.  I am convinced now that I lived in the 1st Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, and worshipped the goddess Mafdet.  I did a lot of inner work on this, and I suppose I should associate these experiences with the Moon trining Pluto in the Morning.  My subconscious unlocked a key to the collective forces of evolution. 

I did get some inconvenient requests around the time the Moon inconjuncted Jupiter at 2:52, but I dealt with them and they worked out better than expected.  It is interesting because yesterday when Jupiter opposed Uranus I wasted an hour driving to an event that wasn’t happening, so I’ll watch out for negative Jupiter aspects in the future.

I wish I’d kept better track of what was happening at 6 pm when the moon sextiled Chiron in Pisces.  I was certainly shopping for my usual geek stuff.  I found a lot of cool stuff, like a figure of “Thunderbird 1” and an Anakin Skywalker Lego alarm clock, and a really awesome Smurf in a fencing mask, wielding a rapier.  I felt very happy with the visions I’d had during the week.  I think perhaps the Chiron-Pisces sextile was related to reincarnation and death, having a clear belief now in two distinct lives – WWII in Europe and 1st Dynasty Egypt, I’m getting a better handle on the meaning of death.

I woke up a few minutes before the Venus retrograde and I was daydreaming about a scene from a sci-fi movie in which the crew of a pirate ship hijacks one of the moons of a planet.  This could be a plot for an episode of “Firefly” maybe – I’m thinking about that show since I’m immersing myself in the work of Joss Whedon for the next several months.

I could definitely feel a shift in my perceptions along with the retrograde, I do feel I’m getting the clarification all the articles speak of.  I’ll have to work on it some more.  I also made the discovery right after that Saturn and Mercury are also gong retrograde in April.  This will be interesting, I’m sure. 

I didn’t realize until now that the outer planets spend so much time in retrograde.  It’s a useful thing to know. 

So there are going to be 4 planets in retrograde in April, ending 4 days before C2E2, and again there will be four in retrograde during Wizard Con.
