11:08 PM 10/1/2017 Damn, what did I do for the last four days that I haven’t blogged? Well, I was sick for one. It started hitting me on Tuesday. I know who gave it to me but I won’t mention his name here.
Buffynicity #1: Pluto went direct on Thursday, and I have been dealing with quite a bit, going through death and rebirth with this sickness. Today, October 1, I find that “Angel” is no longer available on ATT Fullscreen. I know licenses change frequently for shows like that. For instance Netflix had it months ago and then lost it. So much to my surprise I found myself watching the premiere of Buffy again, “Welcome to the Hellmouth”. It was appropriate for Pluto going direct, I think. I do feel like I’m being reborn in a way.
I started watching Buffy with the Jupiter retrograde in February, and Pluto went retrograde in April. So to have Buffy come around again when Pluto goes direct is a nice bit of astrological timing.
Also, I found out today, just after I watched Buffy, that someone I know has died. That’s very related to Pluto and the rebirth of Buffy. So I’m going to join HBO Now for a month just to catch up with Game of Thrones, and then move on to Netflix. I have season 2 of Angel on DVD anyway, and then I’ll probably get the rest.
Now, as for transits,
The Moon entered Capricorn on Wednesday and I wasn’t paying attention at all because I was sick, having difficulty breathing, so I let my whole life slide, but this only validates my observation that Moon in Capricorn is the worst time of the month for me. I’m trying to remember if I had any problems with my car this time, but I don’t think so.
Mercury opposing Chiron was validated powerfully for me as I was reading all about Padre Pio on the web and working on some new experiences I was having around that. Chiron was the healing of the saint, and it was opposing Mercury in the sense that I was having to struggle with a lot of intellectual isssues surrounding that. However I feel much better for all of it.
Thursday I was back downtown again, Moon trining Venus in the morning was very nice. I wish I could remember what was going on but I was too sick. I was definitely taking drugs for the congestion by then so most of it went by in a blur. Mercury inconjunct Uranus came with a pretty ridiculous error on the part of one of the vendors I worked with. They’ve been dragging this particular job out for almost a month and they screwed it up yet again, only showing how clueless businesses can be.
But then I put it off for another week and I was cruising through the rest of the afternoon, enjoying some nice stir-fry as the Moon sextiled Neptune in the afternoon. I was getting very good psi contact with my angels and also rocking out to a lot of Smashing Pumpkins. I was marvelling at the way my experiences with Padre Pio have enhanced my enjoyment of that band. They really sound amazing to me now that I understand a bit better the feelings behind some of the music. And by extension the 90s are making a little more sense to me as well. That makes me feel a bit more like I belong in the world, but it’s also more sad because in some ways it’s even more fucked up and pathetic than it seemed.
Pluto went direct around the time I was getting ready to head home. This has been a really big change for me. I’m suprised at how easy it is to be in the world now. I’ll have to think a lot about how Pluto retrograde has affected the way I see society. I feel much more involved in life now, and much more able to affect things.
The Moon trined Mars and opposed Pluto while I was sick and ignoring my blog, but still messing around with Poser. I got some good stuff done but I really need to work on lights. I opened up the reference guide. Now that I’ve gotten over the initial rush of excitement, I’m ready to settle down and plow through the manual so I can do all the subtle and amazing things I want with lighting. This is related to Mars and Pluto because the images I’m creating are helping me channel the forces of desire in my life toward concrete manifestation.
Friday I went to get new glasses after work. This was related to the Moon sextiling Chiron because I brought three old pairs of glasses I had to compare and I was reliving a lot of old memories of the times when I wore these, dating back 15 years. The Moon squared Uranus and Venus opposed Neptune while I was at a sale for the last weekend of one of my favorite toy stores (the owner has another store so it wasn’t too sad) and then on to the anniversary party of a store where I’ve shopped for 11 years, eating pizza and reliving more memories, thinking about how I’m really from Chicago now. The Venus opposition with Neptune brought a very powerful experience of a sort I’m having more often now, but which I can’t describe. I would have to say it’s a kind of “full transport” or “merging” into the angelic realms. It’s definitely channeling and it’s getting startlingly clear.
The Moon squared Jupiter and Mercury entered Libra. For the first time in a long time it felt like everything was going to be okay. There’s been a shift in my understanding of the spirit world. I really made it on through to the other side and now I don’t have to play so many games any more. I can look back over my life and see that I finally made it somewhere solid.
I went home and slept while the Moon entered Aquarius and so I made it through another lousy Capricorn phase.
I was still sick in the morning so I stayed home most of the day, sleeping and messing around with 3D. The Moon trined the Sun. I went to a magic ritual that was very powerful and real. I found out someone on Renderosity died and today I bought a couple of his figures. Then tonight I found out another person I know died. So two deaths and my illness marked the “direct” of Pluto.
Mars trined Pluto and the Moon sextiled Saturn during the circle tonight. I was channeling in a very focused way, very confident of some aspects of my role in the world and very relieved to have undertaken such a journey. I really got somewhere and now my guides are going to tell me what to do with the knowledge I’ve gained.
Moon trines Jupiter tomorrow, I’ll be feeling good as it enters Pisces. I’ll be lazy again, though I’ll try to keep up with my blog. Inconjunct Mercury in the evening might be interesting as I work on the new 3d figures I bought over the weekend.
