The Buffy Diaries 4-29-2018

8:34 AM 4/29/2018  Thursday was pretty crazy.  Thoughts are jumbled in my mind as I catch up with my narrative again, another experiment as I am on my way to King Spa after a very fruitful weekend.  I’m thinking of a few things, for one about how happy I used to be last year during the Jupiter retrograde, watching Buffy.  Those were the best weekends ever, and I have been distilling the essence of them for a very long time.   Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are in retrograde now and I realize I should have kept my 2017 planner to see exactly what planets were in retrograde back then, to get the specific flavor of them.  I’m very happy that I have until July to savor this particular retrograde.  

On Thursday the 26th the Moon trined Pluto and Mars conjuncted Pluto.  The Moon was VOC all day so it felt like a really big nothing, but with a lot of grinding in it.  It was a fairly harsh day of putting up with corpo bullshit and by “coincidence” I did wind up working downtown again.  All my people were in another town working on an event that wound up being cancelled, and I had a bunch of requests to deal with and the general apathy of the corporation I work for.  The day was dragged out as I waited for answers about various things, and yet at the same time I was glad to be getting things over with.  I caught up with a bunch of stuff and I did manage to get paid for travel time between sites, so it was long and drawn out but also a little mellow at the same time.

No aspects all day, just the Kafka-esque machinery of Pluto grinding along with Mars.  In the evening, as I wound up my day, the Moon incojuncted Uranus as I ended my unexpected downtown trip, looking forward to some time off the next day.  I think that was probably the benefit of Uranus – as it worked out I got to leave early on Friday, so it wasn’t all bad.

I don’t remember much about the Moon entering Libra and opposing Chiron, except Libra is always about boring work and superficiality and the opposition made me feel “unhealed” I guess, like there was nothing going on but work and never for enough money.  However with the Chiron opposition I did post two new pictures on my Tumblr and I feel the gates are opening for me to be more active in actually putting pictures on the web so once again the transit was validated and I am being reminded to associate my web-postings with Chiron.

Friday was better, there were great sales on Renderosity.  The Moon inconjuncting the Sun in the morning was a little anti-climactic after my stressful week.  I was getting off early but there were still a bunch of little things do deal with.  And yet I was having some fun.  So the transit all-in-all was like a wave on the ocean, a little bump in the road but not a lot to focus on.  A slightly unsettled feeling but as I write this I feel prompted to note that it was Moon in Libra inconjunct Sun in Taurus and my guides say from now on I should note where the Moon is as we do this.

Libra Moon square Capricorn Saturn – getting off work, still early but later than I expected.  A definite time issue as I dragged out the time at work to be thorough.  Transit validated.

I did have a brief discussion with a co-worker abotu that time which also had a lot to do with what a pain in the ass work is and some negative things about my work environment which does validate harsh Capricorn Saturn but at the same time gives me a clear focus to evolve to a higher level, away from anatagonism.  This dramatic event could also have been related to the Moon/Mercury opposition.

3:17 Libra Moon oppose Aries Mercury.  A “fullness”, I think, as I was looking forward to seeing Paul Selig that evening.  I definitely had a dramatic experience of communication from higher realms that night so I would have to say the opposition was validated.  The “working” aspect of Libra reacting with the initiating Aries, communication encouraging me to decide to read all of Paul Selig’s books.  So there was definitely a Mercurial beginning on the night of that opposition.

Saturday 4-28-2018

10:19 Libra Moon square Capricorn Pluto.  Meditation was powerful.  My facilitator gave me the names and numbers of two other faciltators and explained some changes to their program – they’re shaking things up and trying to introduce people in new combinations, so that was a definite change in the collective pattern.  Transit validated.

I took naps all afternoon.  I was having good telepathy but I wished I could be working on 3D instead of daydreaming.  I felt a little dizzy.  I assume it was a new spiritual presence in my life.

Libra Moon squaring Capricorn Mars – I had power in the sense of spiritual clarity but it was getting diffused in daydreaming states.  I was unable to focus it on doing actual 3D although I did feel the beginnings of a true magical “bridge” between my own inner states and what goes out to the public, related to the recent postings I did on Thursday and Friday.

12:32 Libra Moon opppose Aries Uranus.  I went to a spectacularly powerful ritual and I stayed up late that night working on 3D and processing the amazing energies I felt coming into my life from a higher power.  I don’t want to be too specific, but the transit was definitely validated.

I think I was still lying awake when the Moon entered Scorpio at 2:11 but I can see the synergy of the Uranus transit with the Scorpio transit being the force behind that early-am reverie during the VOC.

Now I’m up to the present moment, feeling pretty good as Scorpio Moon has just trined Capricorn Saturn.  I’m ready to make predictions for my day.  I am going to be focusing on Sandra.  

Scorpio Moon inconjunct Gemini Venus – I’ll be very fuzzy and not paying too much attention this afternoon.

Scorpio Moon sextile Capricorn Saturn, momentum will build for the full moon Taurus Sun, Scorpio Moon.  Very concrete developments around 7:58.  I will observe as closely as I can and direct my attention toward getting the maximum ride from that.  

Once again I’m spending a VOC day at King Spa, looking forward to an amazing Monday as Scorpio Moon trines Pisces Neptune and conjuncts Scorpio Jupiter.  

9:12 AM 4/29/2018  As I am getting ready to go I am appreciating how much more fluid my blogging is, and how much more comfortable I am with my public persona.  I have a few “clients” waiting for consultations and I am getting better at sharing spiritual information at the level of quality I have wanted.  This process of blogging has worked although incrementally.  There’s a lot to look at today.

A first stab at something.

I have a recurring problem when I do 3d, I can’t make up my mind which direction to take.  There are so many possibilities that I just sit paralyzed while they crush me with astral creation.  I’m looking for “one shot”, the perfect angle on 3D that will let the creative energies flow.  It’s nerve-wracking.  It can get physically uncomfortable to have so much imaginal energy pent up inside myself and not understand the occult implications of this.  

So I’m sitting around tonight, listening to “Halloween Parade” by Lou Reed and playing with “The Temple of Shadows” and a few other assets on Poser, and I felt afraid to work with this.  It’s so amazing, with all the levels and the sense of space.  It’s like it taps into something too powerful for me to work with right now.  I should be trying out a smaller room or something.

But I decided to go ahead and post it, just to get over the block, just to see what would happen if the potentials I sensed were actually contacted.  

The scene itself is nothing, just some “random” objects placed in the middle.  I just want to get over this horrible astral paralysis.

The Buffy Dairies 4-25-2018 part two

8:20 PM 4/25/2018  I’m in an interesting channeling state right now.  I’ve just been given the phrase “force fields” to describe some of the inner influences I feel, as they do feel like “spaces” or “fields”, but they have force to them as well.  Sue Storm has force fields and I was just looking at my action figure of Ursa, who I relate to “Susie the Bear”.  So I’m Reed, Kara is Sue, Sandy is The Thing.  That leaves Gen as Johnny, “John Vieve”.  That works out pretty well.

Although I want to catch up on the last three days of transis, they’re “bringing it down” now, reminding me that the Moon just opposed Neptune, which was one reason I felt like complete crap and unable to do any 3d work when I got home.  I just sat around and thought about wanting to do things, but then I finally got my blog going a half hour after the transit.

Before that Mercury had squared Saturn at 4:28 and I was feeling like total crap because I got a surprise e-mail at work, some jerk schedule a task for our department but didn’t tell us which threw off my whole work program and made me possibly late on a big project this week – a very definite validation of Mercury square Saturn, the communication of the e-mail, and the e-mail itself being about “data backups”, given that at 5 pm I had an appointment at Best Buy in Skokie (I just feel like being more specific about my life now) to pick up a hard drive backup which I had recovered.  Limitations, time, communication, feeling rushed on 3D in the evening as the Moon opposed Neptune – all this is substantial validation and the force fields around it are giving me insight into how to work with 3D astrologically.

Before that the Moon had been inconjunct Mercury as I woke up that morning, concerned I was going to be late for the bi-weekly internation conference call I thought was scheduled.  But then when I got there  I found that it was cancelled so that was a definite validation of the Moon trining Saturn at 7:30; I was feeling very free and ahead of the game, the opposite of how I felt by that afternoon when the Moon squared Mercury.

Interesting that I blogged this day backwards, and was taking the order of days backwards in this entry, and talking about the transformation in energies related to time between the trine in the morning and the square at night.  It’s very deep, astrologically.

Tomorrow, the day I am unexpectedly going downtown again, the Moon inconjuncts Uranus, and there are two major Pluto transits – trine the Moon and conjunct Mars.  Amazing validation.

So what about Monday and Tuesday?  I’m so excited now by these force fields that I am reluctant to make myself remember what happened, but recalling the Pluto retrograde on Sunday is like a yardstick.  It was such a total Plutonian grind that the twelve hour stretch of minute observations of inner states stands out in high relief.

I can feel that the force fields are shifting my approach to memory.

On Monday the 23rd I was thinking all about Dracula, and how he was a genuine historical figure who became a myth, and I bought Blue Tree Studio’s “Lair of the Vampyre Bride” which has the famous portrait of Dracula.  I was thinking about how Dracula means “Son of the Dragon”.  Maybe I was Dracula in a former life.  It was like a magical grounding of my daydreams back into the flow of history, the acknowledgement of the legacy of souls on the earth.  This powerful shift validated the Moon inconjunct Neptune.

But when I got home, even though I wanted to work on 3D, I just fell asleep.  It was a very nice feeling and I got lots of rest.  

Yesterday Venus entered Gemini and I am sure that’s one reason I feel so flighty and totally not a part of my own life, just watching everything go by.  I am not looking forward to a month of this.  But the thought takes me that I should do some 3D about it to stabilize.

The Moon trining Uranus was certainly validated in the afternoon as I got a surprising e-mail, just minutes before the transit, about a job request I couldn’t do myself.  The only person who could was in another town and I had a minor panic.  Surprisingly, that other person got the e-mail and came all the way back into town to do the job but it was several minutes of unpleasantness thinking about the trouble I was in before it got straightened out.  This happened again today.  

This week I am working in my home office alone and to have these two surprise jobs, doable only by those people who are out of town dumped on me just before I’m off for the day shows that all of this is arranged by a higher power.  The first one was within minutes of a Uranus transit, and the second one has me unexpectedly going downtown on the day of a major Uranus transit.

However, the Moon entered Virgo, its most magical sign for me, just as my coworker came back into town and made everything alright, so I was feeling pretty good as I came home and struggled to ground the psychic energies into some good 3D.  On the way home I stopped and checked in my hard drives with Best Buy.  There was something so unexpectedly weird about doing that on that day that the Uranus transit is validated on a deeper level, but I can’t talk about it in public.  I can sense the last several days however (since the Pluto retrograde?) that the force fields of astrological information are twisting into a more textured, layered whole just as my 3D illustrations are evolving in a similar way.

The Moon was squaring Venus as I left work for the day, feeling rushed and disappointed that my regular MTG game was postponed.  I’m trying to remember more specifically how that felt.  I think I was actually a little relieved that I was going to get more time to work on 3D, and also looking forward to getting my hard drives reclaimed, as I used the time freed up to stop by Best Buy.  The Moon inconjuncted Chiron about that time.  There was a nice surprise as it turned out one of my drives was reclaimable there in the store.  I had to wander around Best Buy for a while, thinking of the days when I lived in Grand Rapids and there was a Best Buy at the “dirt mall”, right near the crazy legal services place I used to work.  I was viewing the expanse of time since I lived there, feeling the wave-form collapse.  It was a healing reunion with old memories to go along with the reunion with the data on my drives.

8:55 PM 4/25/2018  I really got into typing all of that.  I forgot myself there for a few minutes.  My channeling is increasing in depth.

Venus sextiled Chiron a little later that night when I was at home and exactly 3 minutes afterwards I got a call from Best Buy that the transfer of data from one of my drives was complete and I could pick it up today.  Nice timing!  Chiron is definitely about nostalgia for me.

So here I am in the midst of some major force fields.  Somewhere in the last few days I also discovered that the pain in my heel, which caused me to quit running a few weeks ago, is plantar fasciitis.  It was Wednesday night I discovered this, I now remember, the day the Moon conjuncted Uranus.  So that’s another nice validation.

It’s been a week that I’ve been icing me heel and I believe it’s working, so I look forward to getting back to running.

As for what lies ahead, the Moon is conjuncting Pluto and opposing Chiron tomorrow, which should be big.  It’s conjuncting Mercury on Friday when I see Paul Selig again, and I’ll be at King Spa on the day of the Full Moon in Scorpio.  

This should be good!

The Buffy Diaries 4-25-2018 part one

7:33 PM 4/25/2018  I can’t decide what to do in 3D so I’m catching up on my narrative instead, hoping somehow I’ll draw the power through into a coherent sphere.  Fortunately, the work I’m doing is really resulting in progress, but the inner tensions can be painful sometimes.  I’m surprised to find it’s been a week since my last post.  I can’t remember much about last week.  I was preparing for a big day of overtime on Sunday.  

The Moon entered Gemini and sextiled Chiron on Wednesday, as I was getting into work and I remember I felt very flighty and not really present in my life.  I spent all morning waiting for the Moon to conjunct Uranus at 9 AM.  I was ready for anything to happen.  What did happen wasn’t an event in the outside world, but a sudden insight into my 3D work that has changed my approach radically.  Instead of working on fantasy scenes of magical rituals, I got the idea to work on bedrooms with couples, adapting my own perceptions of emotional interactions in relationships.  I’ve spent the last week on this and I am getting good results.  I feel much more in control of the energies I’m bringing down and I believe it’s helping me see the spirit world better.

So I was expecting an unexpected event but I got an intuitive insight into my inner world.  

The Moon sextiling Mercury was related to the enthusiasm I was feeling for this new approach, and an increased sense of security.  I posted several more pictures online after this, increasing the flow of mercurial energy.  I worked on a very Saturnine picture which validated the Lunar inconjunct with Saturn that evening.

Alas, it’s so much work to check back and see exactly when I did all this stuff I’m remembering.

Thursday I was working downtown again.  The Moon squared Neptune in the morning and I was feeling happy to be downtown on my own, but also outside my own dream, watching it go by as I waited for the big weekend of work.  Lunar squares with Neptune have a definite feeling for me.  I enjoy the energy but I can’t grasp on to it.  It’s like a stream flowing past me that I can’t quite immerse myself in.

The Moon inconjunct Mars was related to the unexpected arrival of a bunch of the workers from out of state who were going to be there for the weekend’s event.  It wasn’t unpleasant, just crowded.  I focused on adapting to the impersonal energy of work.  I accept that the life of an American is the life of a meaningless corporate drone, that our way of life is empty impersonal garbage.  I focused on knowing that I’m as good as anyone here, that I can do all the grownup things that used to intimidate me when I was just a bohemian.

The Moon inconjunct Jupiter and Pluto was validated when I remembered that evening that I had a citation for having a headlight out two weeks before which I still had not paid, so I spent a lot of frustrating time on hold with various government offices and also tried to call up the payment website, which was non-functional.

In addition to the above validation, once again there was a Pluto transit on a day I worked downtown.

In the evening the Sun entered Taurus, which covers my second house, and I posted my first picture of a bedroom with a very “fixed earth”  couple.  I think it’s very sexy and I know I should adapt my 3D work more consciously to the day’s astrological influences in the future.

The Moon was sextiling Uranus as I was unexpectedly late for work on Friday morning, but I was happy to have the extra sleep and I felt good that morning, looking forward to getting my heavy weekend over with.  The Moon entered Pisces and I stopped giving a damn about anything.  Moon in Pisces is very familiar now.  Pisces in general is very familiar now, actually, and I just went with the dissolution all day.  The Moon squared Chiron and sextiled Taurus as I felt very smug about my new picture and the new sense of security I have in my life as I direct magical energies more consciously.  My inner landscape is changing dramatically and I know my perceptions of people at a distance are getting more accurate all the time.  More and more I feel I’m on the verge of getting something done in this world.

At the same time I had to spend a bunch of time on hold durning the day, doing a ridiculous round-robin of getting transferred from one line to another and back again in search of someone who could help me.  This was several hours before the Moon squared Mercury in the evening, but I still think that, along with the similar tedium from the night before, it validated the transit – while at the same time the final paying of the bill validated the new Taurus energy of solidity.

That evening as the Moon opposed Saturn I worked on some amaizing 3D, including a new picture, “La Mer” which is the best depiction of Binah I’ve done yet and I think marks a new high-water mark in my 3D work.  It’s definitely the most magical thing I’ve done and it’s taking me to new psychic heights.

Saturday was totally devoted to 3D.  I did amazing things, posting “La Mer” and feeling fantastic along with the Lunar trine with Neptune.  The Moon opposing Mars was like a full moon for me, giving me lots of energy and making me feel totally masterful in my 3D work.  The Moon trine Jupiter lent a similar sense of power and exaltation.  I was really rocking my own world with 3D all day and feeling fantastic, looking forward to making a bunch of money the next day.

The Moon opposing Pluto made me feel like I’d unlocked the key to the Underworld.  It was really a spectacular day that made me feel “present” to the magical forces in my life like never before.

On Sunday the 22d I was at work early when the Moon sextiled Venus.  I think the transit was giving me pleasant feelings of being “ahead of the game”, seeing the entire 12 hour day as a kind of extended act of cocreation, moving my emotions beyond the tedious emptiness of corporate servitude.  I had very little to do, I was just a support reasource, so I sat daydreaming and directing my feelings toward getting away from the corporate world forever.

I really don’t recall much specific about the Moon squaring Uranus, except I was unexpectedly sleepy.  I was enjoying the enormous amount of junk food the company had bought for us all, and I was struggling not to fall asleep in front of everyone.  I hadn’t realized I was so tired – it was definitely a suprise. Another surprise was that one of my co-workers brought up the Admiral Theater in conversation, but that was minor.   The day in general went by pretty fast.  Pluto went retrograde and I felt my relationship to the collective shift.  I am totally depersonalized in this corporate hell of a dead nation, but at the same time it brings me peace of mind to know it because I don’t give a fuck anymore.  So that was the Pluto retrograde, contemplating all the working men and women around me and taking a broader psychic perspective on the life of the masses in 21st century America, the hollow mechanical cocreativity which I abhor.

I could feel the energy of a different life coming to me, taking me away somewhere else.

The Moon entered Leo and I think that was why I felt my Plutonian insights, and my separateness from their collective awareness, so strongly.

The Moon sextiled Chiron and I felt relieved that I was making it through my day so easily.  I felt the overwhelming work of the previous two months was over and I was a success.  

The Moon squared the Sun in the afternoon and I hit a bump in the road when most of my coworkers were let go early because the project was done ahead of time, but I had to hang around the whole twelve hours doing almost nothing because of deliveries.  I had thought briefly I might be on time for the evening’s dream circle, but then I had to suffer through the passage of time as it became clear I wasn’t going to make it after all.  I focused on forgiveness and put it behind  me, but it did validate the Moon/Sun square.

I made it home to the circle and the Moon trine with Mercury was certainly validated as I had some great insights and did some very solid channeling, with much better clarity in my vision of the occult structure of the circle than ever before.  This is really a new level for me.

I’m going to post this now and go on to part two.

I got this background, “DM’s Playhouse Chimera”, and I was messing around with it.  The picture I came up with is too vague to be really good, and I haven’t done anything with the lighting, but I’m very bored with my minimal output level so I thought what the hell, I’ll just stick it out there to get the feeling of posting more often.  Notice it’s only here on my blog and not in my Renderosity gallery. 

cinema-shots:

Apocalypse Now (1979)

One of my favorites of all time.  Quite a coincidence since I just came online to post one of my own images.

The Buffy Diaries 4-17-2018

10:19 PM 4/17/2018  Thursday afternoon, I was still recovering from hitting King Spa twice in one week, and I was feeling very slippery as Venus sextiled Neptune and I was shopping for “wet” maps on Renderosity – skins that make 3D figures look like they just stepped out of the shower.  I had found Oskarsson’s “Water Palace” and I was thinking all about making pictures full of water.  The Moon sextiled Mars as I headed home to meet John and keep our date for me to teach him to play Magic: The Gathering.  We had a very deep discussion about various things and he drew some distinctions for me between the astral and etheric planes.  The Moon conjuncted Neptune while we played and it was a very dramatic merging of various layers of consciousness which I inhabit, and various types of relationships I have.  More and more my worlds are coming together.  With the Moon in Pisces conjuncting Neptune and sextiling Venus, it was a very watery grave for my old way of life as I transcended toward a new role in the dreaming circles and some cycles of separation coming to an end in relationships.

Friday I was downtown, feeling pretty good as the Moon trined Jupiter in the morning and I felt like the worst of the last couple of months was over.  I had great stuff to work on in 3D and as the Moon conjuncted Chiron I conceived of my first attempt to make a magical picture for the public.  I still have the idea in my mind but it’s so powerful for me it’s a little scary.  However it’s there and I’m going to bring it out in the next couple of weeks.  This took me a step back toward feeling like an “artist”.  

I was depicting “Binah”, the dark sphere of Saturn, but there was a woman in it dressed in red and I found this image very powerful, and related to the Moon entering Aries that night.  I definitely feel like I’m burning in a new cycle in my life since then, a much harsher cycle, but one that is bringing much clearer insights.

Saturday the Moon conjuncted Mercury in the morning and I was back meditating again, having missed a few weeks.  I felt very secure in my practice of Sahaj Marg – just the fact that I’m mentioning it by name in my blog shows that I’m hitting a new level with it shows that veils are lifting and I’m no longer segregating my spiritual lives.  

Mars was sextiling Neptune in the afternoon at the IANDS meeting, brining a very distinctive sense of chaos, craziness, and discomfort which distinctly validated the transit.  I could feel the familiar sensations of both planets mixing in a very discomfiting way, but at the same time the total familiarity of it gave me confidence that I could ride it out.  Neptune transits are always the most fun for me.  I love Neptune!

The Moon squared Saturn toward the end of the meeting and I was feeling lots of boredom and alienation.  I’ve been doing that bookstore for so long … it was very cramped, validating the transit, as we had new books and I had to work with some awkward bookkeeping processes.  However by the end of the day I was feeling like a total success and very proud of my continued efforts there.

Mercury went direct early Sunday, which makes sense.  

I’d like to note here that I’m very disappointed in this Jupiter retrograde.  The last Jupiter retrograde was one of the most fun times in my life, when I discovered Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but this time around I’m just not getting it.  Maybe I should watch Buffy again.  

But with Mercury direct I picked up on my blog again and feeling quite a bit of the harshness of Hod, the endless streams of brutal calculations.  I’m getting down to brass tacks with my angels and specifics about my role in life.

I made plans to meet an old friend on Sunday, someone I haven’t seen in more than 20 years.  This validated the Mercury direct I think.  In the afternoon the Moon inconjuncted Jupiter and squared Pluto.  I was feeling a bit out of sorts relative to the vast collective of the world and this person’s life in it who I haven’t seen since 1991.  I was very tired and feeling very rushed, wishing I had time for some more sleep before I had to see her.  Thankfully she was a little late.  It was nice, though, that we talked for several hours, right up until the New Moon in Aries.  A new era of my life began then, as I tied up some loose ends that have been bothering me for decades and also looked back on my self before shamanism to see how utterly bizarre, fucked up, and pointless the life of this world is and how nothing I ever cared about really mattered, and what a trivial joke human life is.

The Moon conjuncting Uranus was deeply validated by how utterly surreal the last few days feel to me, how I feel deeply magical and totally lost at the same time, on the verge of liberation and yet utterly disgusted with the world at the same time.

Monday wasn’t much.  I took care of business at work.  It went fairly smoothly.  I ran errands in the afternoon and as the Moon trined Saturn I was at home working on 3D and wound up having a congenial chat with another person I haven’t talked to in more than 20 years.  It was surprisingly deep and there was telepathy, validating the presence of one of my angels very powerfully.  

I note today that Saturn is going retrograde and I think this last few days of a surreal sense of limitation is a precursor to the upcoming arc, as my angel of Saturn is associated with the sign of Taurus and the Sun will enter that sign on Thursday.

Today I woke up feeling so blissfullly relaxed as the Moon sextiled Neptune that I almost called in at work to say I would be late.  It was true I was still a little tired but I felt so amazingly relaxed that I could barely stand to get out of bed.  As Venus trined Pluto and the Moon trined Mars I was feeling very productive and quite ahead of the game, although still bitter that the world I live in is so harsh, confusing, and limited.  My displeasure with the life of the world, with the United States of America, is unrelenting.  After weeks of feeling put-upon by overwhelming tasks, I was suspicious of how little I had to do.  

Looking back I had forgotten that the Moon was opposing Jupiter at 3:40 PM.  This transit was totally validated as a co-worker sent out an e-mail about a data quality issue that set everyone into a tizzy and made me feel like life is not worth it.  I hated my job and I felt totally alienated and isolated and hopeless.  I recovered a bit as the evening went on but looking back to find that this happened almost exactly at the moment of the opposition validates the transit poweruflly and makes me feel a little better.

The Moon trined Pluto and I was feelign like crap, recovering from the Jupiter opposition, feeling lost and like a total nobody except for the weird psychic compulsions of my life which I can barely believe in at times like that.  Pluto is the underworld and I certainly felt like dying, felt like an insignificant emptiness in a sea of the chaos of the ridiculous empty relations of America.

I was getting a litle better as the Moon conjuncted Venus, my friend and I were seated at Bill’s Diner, having our omelettes served to us before playing Magic: The Gathering all evening.  I gradually felt more and more magical as the evening went on until at the end, just before Saturn went retrograde, I was actually doing a decent intuitive reading for him and thinking about my future once again.

So the anxieties of the impending retrograde seem now to be released once the actual retrograde has started, and I am actually quite comfortable with the presence of my angel in this, looking forward to getting back with my own program.

A lot of images of my disturbing, empty adolescence in that miserable rathole Morton, Illinois came back to me this week. What a disgusting little town full of disgusting little people!  It’s so sad that they existed.  It’s so awful that this species supposedly has all these glowing white “Masters” to guide their spirituality but they produce towns as dismally empty and backward as Morton.  Our society is nothing but filth and emptiness and death and manipulation.

Oh, well.  Tomorrow the Moon will be sextiling Chiron when I get to work.  I’m looking forward to it.  The Sun conjuncts Uranus at ten.  I’m a little afraid but I’m willing to bet it will work out ok as the Moon is sextiling Mercury when I get off work and I have nothing to do but work on 3D all evening until the Moon incojuncts Saturn.  It’s going to be a great day, I tell myself.

The only big thing coming up is Sunday, when I’m doing 12 hours of overtime, which means a lot of money.  The Moon is squaring Uranus, so I wonder if something will happen?  Pluto goes retrograde.  Now isn’t that amazing?  I’ve always said I have Pluto tranits when I work downtown, and now I’m spending 12 hours downtown on a weekend, a special assignment, the day Pluto goes retrograde.

Even though there’s a Uranus square I bet it will be okay because the Moon enters Leo and trines Chiron in the afternoon.  I bet it will be relatively light work and I’ll be happy to be making a ton of money.

And now, as Mecury has gone direct and Saturn is in retrograde, I am once again caught up with my narrative.

The Buffy Diaries 4-15-2018

9:54 PM 4/15/2018  So here we go again.  It’s been two weeks without a blog entry, and bigger things happened than last time.  I just got done having dinner with a woman I haven’t seen since 1991.  It’s so strange to think of the people I knew back then as being still alive.  

On Monday the 2nd I did make notes that I was pretty paralyzed in the morning, and I didn’t really get going until after the Moon sextiled Mars and Saturn in the morning.  I did feel the transit.  I made notes that I got busy and “lost awareness” until after the Moon inconjuncted Mercury in the afternoon.  But I don’t remember anything else after that.  This is the most disruptive break in my blog.  Before now I’ve been able to reconstruct lost days but now I feel so different that I can’t go back.  

I’m trying to remember what day I worked downtown, because I had Friday off for C2E2.  I suppose I could check my bank account to see what day I ate at the cafeteria down there.

10:04 PM 4/15/2018  So it was Thursday I was down there.

Tuesday I played MTG at Grognard Games with Jay.  The Moon sextiled Pluto and conjuncted Jupiter that day, giving me a kingly mastery of the collective energies.  I got a lot of good other-planar insights while I was playing that evening and Jay urged me to express them so it was a new kind of openness about my experiences.  The Moon inconjuncted Uranus right after the place closed.  It was validated by the unexpectedly powerful sense of doing “actual magic” in the midst of the card game.  

Wednesday the 4th I was gearing up for C2E2, clearing the decks.  But I don’t remember much about the Moon inconjuncting Venus and trining Mercury.

Thursday I was downtown.  My long weekend had begun.  Moon squaring Neptune in the morning was an auspicious beginning although I must admit I was feeling that C2E2 was becoming a bit familiar.  The emphasis has shifted from the novelty of seeing entertainers to a more interior experience.  The square was also validated in the sense of overcrowding on my schedule, with a ritual to attend Friday night and circle on Sunday.

I got to work as the Moon trined the Sun and the day went very smoothly as I tied up loose ends from the chaos of the week before and felt back in control from the overwhelming workload of March.

Friday the Moon trined Uranus in the morning.  Shortly afterward I got on the train and there was a woman with a C2E2 ticket hanging around her neck.  She was wearing a mysterious black mask that made her look evil.  When we got on the train she sat directly across from me and a crazy homeless man standing next to us started belting out “Bad Company” at the top of his lungs.  I got up and moved immmediately.  He went on to sing “Do you feel like I do” by Peter Frampton and rant about receiving justice against his enemies.  All of it an unexpected chaos validating the transit and preparing me for a magical weekend.

The Moon sextiled Chiron later that morning and I felt really great to be back at old, familiar C2E2, handling all the details although there was another unexpected bump in the road in that the White Castle I always go to.  It had been remodeled and was much larger, but the service was no faster so the wait was longer.  Still, time goes by and things go better.  I was smooth as glass all weekend, having a great time in the familiar surroundings.  My convention magic has worked perfectly, and is only going to get deeper.

The Moon entered Capricorn and this lent its flavor to the whole weekend.  Although I was very glad to be there there was also a very “businesslike” tone to the whole thing.  It was not very emotional.  It was what I expected.  The “magic” has worn off of entertainment for me and I was able to get the telepathic information I wanted “straight”, without sentimentality.  I was very glad to measure the progress I’ve made since last year.

Saturday the 7th I had a very spectacular validation of several Saturn transits.  I woke up early and was well in time to make it back to McCormick place but I lost my car keys.  Three people from my past contacted me via Facebook and I sat looking at three chat windows with extraordinary significance, moving through psychic chaos.  The three windows represented the alignment of my three angels.  I looked for my keys for an hour, knowing that this was an “arranged” ordeal from a higher power and I had a lesson to learn.  I searched and tried to use my intuition.  Then finally I went downstairs and did a deeper meditation, and only then did I turn around to find my keys in a bowl on one of the tables in the dining room. I had left my keys (and my keys alone) downstairs the night before and someone had put them in the bowl.  This was after the Moon trined Venus and conjuncted Saturn, and Venus trined Saturn.  It was a kind of practical alignment of expectations about the day, and a psychic communication from a higher plane.

The Moon conjuncted Venus that afternoon as I saw some great acts on the main stage.  I felt very tired and dozed off on a bench in the gallery on the second floor, not worrying at all about missing anything, knowing I was merging my dream life with the spectacle of the entertainment world.   I was feeling positively cozy.

This also built on the momentum of the Venus/Saturn transits that morning.

As the Moon sextiled Neptune that evening I was on my way to an extremely powerful ritual which validated the true magic I’ve been able to do with my entertainment activities.

Sunday the Moon was sextiling Jupiter in the morning and I felt great, having made it through the exhausting weekend. I got everything I wanted during the day.  I experienced fantastic feelings and identifications.  I had to tear myself away from the R.L. Stine panel in the evening to get to John’s circle, but unexpectely as the Moon was squaring Uranus that evening, once I got home I fell asleep and missed it.

I woke up on the morning of the 9th feeling deeply magical, having had one of the best times of my life, and I went to King Spa.  The only transit during the day was the Moon sextiling Mercury, but it was certainly validated in the sense of total success I was having, especially with deciphering certain magical pressures I’ve felt associated with the sign of Virgo since I discovered King Spa over a year ago.  Furthermore I was very excited that there was a special going on and I’d be able to return on Wednesday, virtually extending my weekend.

Tuesday there were no transits during the day.  I played MTG again in the evening with Jay, this time at Gamer’s World in Woodfield Mall.  I got a lot of channeling done, and perceived his subtle bodies much more clearly.  I felt very at home and it was a nice “collapsing of wave forms”, merging true channeling with the sentimental-astral creations of all the years I spent doing laps there with my iPod.  The Moon squaring Jupiter was validated by the sense of rulership I felt at completing a full evening of MTG success, feeling like actual magic was merging with the game.

Wednesday morning the Moon inconjuncted Jupiter in the morning and I felt as though I’d finally come back to life.  I had a new story running in my head about a character named Carl, a writer for a big sci-fantasy show.  The Moon sextiling Uranus in the late morning was validated when I unexpectedly had to get on a big conference call about a supposedly bad error which then turned out to be something that had been dealt with during the audit a couple of weeks before.  So it was a false alarm, but the big, unexpected scare validated the transit, and I did learn something from it about the energy of my work environment.

The Moon entered Pisces in the afternoon and it was very validated by the amazing experience I had at King Spa that night.  I know I’m going to go very often for the rest of the year and it is going to produce spectacular results.

Thursday morning the Moon sextiled Saturn and I was indeed late for work as I had slept through my alarm and woke up an hour late, so the transit was validated.

And now I’m very caught up so I suddenly feel like going to bed and finish the last few days tomorrow.

The Buffy Diaries 4-1-2018 part 2

10:05 PM 4/1/2018  I just worked a long time on 3D, and I feel very rewarded.  I’m starting to get a handle on what I actually enjoy for its own sake versus what’s a reference to the vague sense of possibilities I always have.  I’m too tired now to articulate that completely.  I’m just going to try to catch up some more days in the next half hour before I go to sleep.

So Monday I was still thinking about how much stuff I was dreading the week before, and how I got out of it so easily.  The Moon inconjuncted Mars and trined the Sun.  I don’t remember much except I think I was pretty confident I was going to take care of everything.  I felt a bit of momentum, and even self-satisfaction looking back on the huge event I had managed the September before.  Compared to that one, the one I did last Tuesday was small and easy, and I was looking back on how far I’ve come in a year, especially since I associate my early activities downtown with my “discovery” of Buffy the Vampire Slayer during the last Jupiter retrograde.  It was one of the times I look back on most fondly in my life and really, I’m looking to recreate it.

So I had some energy and I bet the Moon inconjunct with Saturn that evening wasn’t much more than wishing I didn’t have to go to bed on time, which I did.

But then when I woke up, during the runup to the Lunar incojunct with Neptune, I had a sudden event so powerful that I’m not even going to write about it.  It’s something I’m definitely going to remember forever but it’s between me and Kara.

But it certainly validated the transit.  After that I got to work and the big project started just a few minutes after the Moon trined Mercury.  Everything went smooth as glass pretty much, validating the transit.  I did have another Pluto transit that day, this time the inconjunct in the evening, after it was all over and I felt great, as if I’d accomplished something.  The Moon squaring Jupiter in the evening had me feeling expansive and successful, with just one more big project to tie up to get over this month-long ordeal of nothing being truly fun at all, and then get ready for C2E2.

The Moon inconjuncted Chiron early on Wednesday the 28th.  I was picking up some awesome 3D stuff on sale, feeling very healed.  I was feeling kind of vague about life but just around 10:30 I finally managed to pick up my planner and get back to organizing my life – only to see that the Moon had entered Virgo just a few minutes before, validating the transit.

Venus conjuncted Uranus that evening.  This was totally validated in the afternoon before the transit by a sudden e-mail informing my department that management had moved a task up a week and I would have to return downtown for the third time in a week – and this right in the middle of the rush to complete the final and most important project of the month.  It was brutal.  Then, the pumps at the gas station were unexpectedly closed.  I was having unexpected difficulty for the next several days in updating my iPod.  For a little while I thought I’d lost all my playlists.  And the next morning I was downtown and the computer system I was supposed to use had suddenly and unexpectedly been changed so I had to waste an hour or two fixing that before I could get back to the main migration which I was suddenly informed was going to be due on Friday.  So it was like a huge trainwreck in my life.  That was all the fallout from that conjunction, although Wednesday night I was still feeling okay with the Moon trining Mars, looking forward to a “relaxing” morning downtown, which of course did not work out.

As I said before, I spent Thursday in a state of quiet and quite unexpected desperation.  The Moon was squaring Saturn as I got downtown, definitely validated in the rush for time and the fact that I had to wait to receive two packages, going back and forth from my office to the mail room several times, and finally when I did receive them the computer system wasn’t working so I had to call managers around the country, wasting time I needed for the big migration due Friday.  A definite validation, also reinforced by the retrograde Mercury inconjuncting the Moon.  I felt the Moon opposing Neptune in the overwhelming workload.  As it turned out I wound up working until 9 pm, going back and forth across Chicago twice, feeling totally put upon but still satisfied that I was able to do the work and get ahead of the game.  Nevertheless this Lunar opposition with Neptune had me feeling totally outside my own dream.  As I said before, I even thought I might have lost the full use of my iPod.

Then in the evening, around the time the Moon trined Pluto (another Pluto transit on a day I worked downtown), I got pulled over for having a headlight out.  More collective interference – unusual for a trine though.  Trines and oppositions are usually fun for me, but this last month has been so crappy that it’s not working out that way.  Maybe it’s the Mercury retrograde.  Not to mention losing the thread of my blog has made me feel not myself.

So Friday morning I had some good news with the Moon inconjunct Uranus – the project wasn’t going to be as cutthroat as I thought, although I did get in a little trouble for cutting corners the night before.  The Lunar opposition with Chiron was lousy.  I felt totally inert, like there was no healing in the cosmos, as I basically just worked and brooded about how empty America is.  The inconjunct with Venus was like hitting a big emotional pothole.  I was only emptiness and momentum to get the job done.  That was very appropriate I guess as the Moon entered Libra.  

As I said earlier, I was feeling absolutely lousy and emotionally exhausted, but also I felt like a survivor.  And I did manage to get my headlight fixed, and saved 15 dollars in the process.  Some really special things happened that night, although they weren’t associated with transits so much.  Possibly the concrete benefit I was getting was related to Venus entering Taurus.

Saturday morning as the moon opposed the Sun and Mercury I actually drove to a meditation meeting that had been cancelled.  So that was a wasted trip out.  The opposition was also validated when I stopped at the store and tried to play some songs as I shopped – I realized I’d fucked up my iPod even worse than I thought and only synced the first four or five letters of the alphabet in the artists list.  Disaster!  And then it turned out the store had removed the keypad locks from the bathroom and was now asking customers to get a key from the service desk – a sign from the cosmos, I felt, that I should wander around there aimlessly listening to my iPod so much.  So the Mecury opposition made itself felt clearly.

The Moon inconjuncted Neptune in the afternoon.  I was cleaning my bedroom – I’m really making headway on throwing things away, and fooling around with 3d.  But I screwed myself by starting a malware scan on my newly-reinstalled system maintenance software that took more than an hour.  And then I took another couple of hours to fix my iPod.  I had to restore it and sync several times before I figured out my dumb mistakes.

But then the rest of the evening went well.  I attended a ritual and saw a cool horror movie.  I was driving home while the Moon squared Pluto in the morning.  I guess it was a beneficial feeling.  I’d had a good day and felt like I was functioning in the world, even if the world sucked.  It was magical.  I guess it moved my position relative to the collective.

Today the Moon conjuncted Mercury and I did some awesome, deep magic with 3D (I’m getting ready to post more pictures online) and I also of coures caught up with my blog.  The transit is validated.  I’m not sure what the opposition with Uranus could have been.  I don’t recall too much unexpected except that I made a massive breakthrough in my own personal 3D symbolism.  I finally got a character working which I’ve wanted to represent me for months. I’d been frustrated because he’s asian and I just got his eyes to work.  I made a spectacular breakthrough in assoicating my 3d with kabbalah.  So that must have been the higher-octave influence of the opposition.

So this time it wasn’t an unexpected event, it was an unexpected breakthrough to a sense of magical focus and control I’ve never had before.  The Moon inconjuncted Chiron in the afternoon as I had a big breakthrough with my ghosts, as well, especially Amy from West Lafayette.  Something amazing happened and I’m seeing much more than I expected.  I’m feeling positively grounded now, like the magic is beginning to take hold.

The Moon entered Scorpio and I can feel it as I plot all my secret, sensual strategies of 3D.  I can feel the energy focusing.  I even put a scorpion in the 3D image I’m working on.  I feel very stable and much clearer about the afterlife than ever.  The Moon just opposed Venus and I’d have to say I felt stressed, rushed to get this blog done, but at the same time rewarded by my return to synchronization and also thrilled with the 3D work I’ve done, deeply immersed in the inner spheres.

Tomorrow morning is the conjunction of Mars and Saturn I’ve been waiting for for weeks.  I know it will be big, but it’s already validted in the power of the 3D work and the shamanic insights I’ve gained tonight.  Maybe I’ll try to post a picture tomorrow to commemorate the Lunar trine with Neptune.  It promises to be a magical day.

Tomorrow I’ll try to do predictions for C2E2.
