11:26 PM 4/11/2017 All right now we’re caught back up to life. This morning we were experimenting with a dual consciousness which is working out very well. We spent a lot of time listening to Motorhead, especially “Sympathy for the Devil” from “Bad Magic”. Even though we stayed up way too late on Monday working on the website I felt pretty good.
As the Moon inconjunct Chiron approached I came to a profound revelation, which I feel was brought about by Sharyl’s class. Sharyl had been talking abut “service” and I really had to wonder what that meant. My life is so confusing, everyone is so all about “cocreation” in this world, what does service really mean? I realized that this was a major issue for me to work on, but one thing that hit me very hard is that I absolutely hate it when people equate “service” with “obedience”. I want to serve without having to obey. I hate obedience! This is something my angels are helping me clarify. It is a huge step forward and it related very deeply, I felt, to the Chiron transit. So that was liberating.
And then there was another liberation about 15 minutes before the Moon inconjuncted Venus. I’m having to put together a big project at work, one I’ve been dreading a little because it’s so complicated, and right before that transit it turned out that there will have to be a delay because of a meeting. This was a relief because I’ll have a lot more time to get it right and I don’t have to take any blame for the delay, so this was a very great relief.
While the Moon was sextiling Saturn I was making plans but then there was a void of course as I dropped off the IANDS books and got a couple more Black Sabbath albums from the Rogers Park Library. Then I came home and finally had time to clean my bedroom. Now we’re mostly caught up.
Buffynicity: I’ve been reading a lot about ritual magic, starting to get back into it, looking for sigils and pentacles for sale on the web and these are showing up in the last couple of Buffy episodes – eyes and triangles and whatnot.
Spike broke free of the hobbles of “The Initiative” tonight when he went back to high school and I find this quadruple retrograde is doing something similar for me. I’ve been listening to Judas Priest frequently, wondering about an alternate past where I might have listened to them a lot with Jody. We seem to be solving a lot of problems relating to the dark power of music. Lemmy and Motorhead continue to be a grounding influence.
We’re experimenting now with maintaining feelings while we channel. It’s good to be productive again. The Mercury retrograde took a little adaptation but I can sense its influence surprisingly well. This is going to be an interesting few days before Venus goes direct again and I have a lot to think about what we want to say about topics like ritual magic and popular culture.
Tomorrow there’s nothing going on during waking hours but the Moon trining Neptune at 7:48 pm. I’m going to try to be doing ritual magic at that point.
Thursday should be big. The moon is sextiling Pluto, inconjuncting the Sun and Uranus, opposing Mars, and trining Chiron and Venus, then going VOC while the Sun opposes Uranus. Something wild will happen, I expect. Something that relates to the otherworldly things I’ve sensed related to Mars, Pluto, and Venus during the weekend. It’s very exciting to think about.
Friday’s another circle but no aspects.
Venus goes direct right before the Moon squares Neptune. I’ll be meditating but I think I’ll try to do some ritual magic in the morning. Then I’ll be seeing Sharyl again.
Sunday is interesting with Mars sextiling Chiron in the morning. I need to be awake to see what that feels like. There are a large number of interesting aspects but the moon entering Capricorn. Damn. I hope it’s not too shitty.
Venus is sextiling Mars during the circle. That’s interesting. But now we’re off to bed.
