I had several Buffynicities, which was nice, including the most telepathic one yet.  As I was getting ready to go run, walking down the stairs, putting on my shoes, stretching, I began thinking about the word “Looney”, writing a comedy  dialogue in my mind about how I have come to use the word since hanging out in Canada, where the one dollar coin is called a “Looney” because it has a picture of a loon on it.  I added some other jokes and when I got to the club to run, almost immediately Buffy went to her psychologist (who was dead) and told him that he would probably think she was a candidate “for the looney bin”.  So there was a Buffynicity that took less than 15 minutes to come off.  They’re getting faster!

Then I realized that the Scooby Gang reading “Call of the Wild” was a reference to the Valkyrie name “Kara”, which means “Wild, Stormy One”, and it was probably Kara I was thinking of when I listened to “Wild One” years ago, and I was also thinking of the song “Wild Child” by Lou Reed a couple of nights ago. 

There was another Buffynicity because there was a full moon in the episode, and there is a full moon this weekend that I was just noticing has some powerful aspects (discussed in the next entry).

In a recent post I wrote about assigning a Scooby girl to each of my angels.  Kara is Cordelia.  And I also wrote how much Cordelia reminds me of my biggest high school crush.  That girl was homecoming queen one year, and so it is a Buffynicity that right after I wrote that I watched an episode in which Cordelia is running for homecoming queen.  The dynamic between Buffy and Cordelia in this episode is also very illuminating of the dynamic between Cordelia and the angel I think of as Buffy.

Working at these two outlying sites this week, I’ve been having to use a lot of old phones because the sites were given to us only because they’re obsolete and mostly unused.  So it was Buffynicitous that the conspirators in the show were using antiquated phones and other equipment to spy on Buffy.  The two German drones with their tech-freak overlord also reminded me of my brother and his creepy friends spying on me for their sex-freak overlord (back when this show was first airing, actually).

The first episode I watched was about the “inner beast” of men, and then the second was about Cordelia getting angry, and so this is all following the theme of Kara making her presence known.  A very excellent timing for Mars entering Taurus.

Moon inconjunct Neptune on the way to work was kind of fun, I was listening to “All Night Long” and enjoying the closeness of Kara.  She’s very vivid.  Although I do go back to work tomorrow, today was the last hurdle for me in a rough week where I worked at two different new locations.  It was a lot of chaos and wandering around long hallways getting lost.  But it was ultimately low pressure.  One of the interesting things about today was that it was on a relatively busy campus of three buildings with hundreds of people.  Also the huge room where I was working had been emptied of most of the equipment, leaving only a big desk in the center so that it all looked like a set from an action movie. 

Moon trine Venus and Mercury inconjunct Jupiter around 8:55 – I was feeling relieved that the work was going to be easy and thinking a lot about Buffy TVS, listening to “Amenhotep” and also “The Ace of Spades”.  I was daydreaming about how cute Alyson Hannigan is/was and I think also “coming in for a landing” concerning entertainment in general. It’s like I’ve been in a void of entertainment for years, letting my mind wander over crazy fantasies, but now that I’m involving myself in this popular show my emotional body is settling down, feeling like it belongs in the world more – and also ironically I’m getting over popular culture, just not giving a damn about what happens in it anymore because I’m happy being a consumer – I like what I like so what “everyone” is doing is unimportant. 

It’s interesting that I noted the aspects, but didn’t have any idea what they meant until I wrote that paragraph.  I can see that the Moon trining Venus brought a sense of contentment, while the Mercury inconjunct Jupiter brought a sense of separation from society, from the “communications” of society.  My restlessness concerning the world of mass communications is ending and I’m happy just to be relaying whatever messages Kara wants and I don’t give a damn what anyone thinks.

Also seeing all those corporate drones milling around that big campus like a bunch of zombies was ironically liberating.  I know that the normo world is only a dead emptiness that will go on forever like that and I can leave it behind forever without a second thought. 

Mars entered Taurus this evening – I was a little delayed driving home because I left my tablet at work.  I got to Diane’s and she mentioned someone left the board of Chicago IANDS so I offered to go back on it.  That seemed a very Mars-Taurus thing – getting back into the nuts and bolts of moving speakers around and managing gatherings.  I’ve only been running the bookstore for a few months, but now that I’ve quit drinking and prowling around shopping malls I have extra time so I’m ready to go back.  Kara will be with me this time.  It’s going to be very illuminating.

I’m looking forward to Mars in Taurus – Mars in Aries was getting old.  I’m going to shore up my base and I feel cozy and insulated from the world at large, ready to buckle down and take care of business.

Now I’m going to go run and watch Buffy and I’ll write more about predictions when I get back.
