The Buffy Diaries 5-21-2018

10:57 AM 5/19/2018  I’m on my way to King Spa again, feeling pretty crazy.  I left my astrological calendar at work.  The question is, how important is the astrological information?  Do I need it before I go to King Spa, or should I leave it until after?  And this is bringing me to the boundary of my inner experience, where I seem to be processing some kind of dream information, and I wonder how important it is to record it.  What could it be useful for?  I’ve had so many of these dreams.

This morning, meditation was very powerful.  

11:11 AM 5/19/2018  I’m worried about what will happen if I leave my book unfound.  So worry is related to worry about …

I was thinking about Paul Foster Case this morning, is this issue related to “respect” for “learning”?

If they want or need that respect they should just resign now because they are total empty scum, the same fascist crap as the Nazis.

11:17 AM 5/19/2018  It’s a confrontation with desire, all the potentials of the day are before me.  I should have the presence of my angel “now”.

11:29 AM 5/19/2018  So this is the jumping-off point for my day, maintaining contact with Kara at this boundary.

“The beginning of the reflective incursion.”

11:07 PM 5/21/2018  So I’m going back to 5/17 now to catch up on my blog even though it’s late.  I did a lot of amazing things today, including download and install my 3d purchases from the last week and get my car’s oil changed.

5/17 1:18 PM Gemini Venus conjuncts Gemini Moon, which goes VOC.  I had had a project at work which didn’t work out as well as it might have.  Part of the original work order was lost and then there was another screw up with the computer so some of it didn’t get done.  It was very Gemini, all the flightiness and pointlessness and wasted time, which left me with a hollow feeling that lasted through the rest of the afternoon, a sense of not wanting to be involved with anything.  Transit validated.  

The Moon entered Cancer at 4:47 PM.  I was almost home, and once I got home I found myself able to go work out and take care of some business.  I felt rejuvinated and the transit was validated as I went back to Brian’s astrology salon and took comfort in the familiarity of the ritual and the amazing insights I achieved.  Also he invited me to play MTG on Sunday (another old ritual) so I felt very welcomed and cozy.

Cancer Moon sextiled Taurus Uranus at 4:59 and I think that was validated by the unexpected energy I had to work out, etc. after the disappated day of failed projects and mild resentment.  Also my psychic experiences at the salon were unexpectedly powerful and I did feel the Uranus influence in the sense that the transimissions I was receiving were coming from a very high level.

Cancer Moon inconjunct Aquarius Mars at 5:54 PM, my foot was hurting pretty bad and I think it was raining somewhat, so even though I had the energy to go to the salon I had some inconveniences and obstacles to overcome, including the cold and taking some cumbersome beverages along with me.  The Mars energy surfaced as a kind of unpleasant feeling of soldiering on through obstacles.

Cancer Moon squared Aries Chiron at 7:09 as I arrived and the salon began, and the transit was definitely validated by the depth and intensity of telepathic clarity I experienced and the healing sense of belonging and acceptance I felt, with an increased familiarity with the higher-plane energies involved.  I got a very good intuitive sense of the “meaning” of astrological discussions from a global perspective, and integrated to a new level of group involvement.

Friday May 18 I was on my way to work as Cancer Moon opposed Capricorn Saturn.  This was a pretty good feeling as I was looking forward to an easy day, having finished the rigorous assessment I’d been working on all week, and having a major project cancelled.  Taurus Mercury trined Capricorn Saturn at 11:49, the day was half over with some good sales on Renderosity and a lot of money in the bank for me.  I don’t remember much specific but it was a very smooth day.

Cancer Moon training Pisces Neptune at 7:23 PM as I was on my way home was quite excellent as I looked back over all the hundreds of times I’ve driven East on Touhy on Friday night and saw that I had developed a very psychic ritual of excellent depth.  I was getting the palpable dimensional crossings I’ve always wanted and very happy as I looked forward to King Spa the next day.  Cancer Moon training Scorpio Jupiter at 8:47 as I was at home made me feel like a total success as I assimilated my week.  I’m beginning to feel ahead of the game of life.  Working on Photoshop especially is making me feel like I’m beginning to rule my own telepathic dream world as I’ve always wanted to.

I fell asleep soon after.

I’ll catch up more tomorrow or the next day.

The Buffy Diaries 5/16/2018

8:41 PM 5/16/2018  I’m struggling to keep to some kind of center here, it’s a struggle because I’m very close to succeeding.  I’m thinking about working on 3D but some force keeps my mind wandering.  I think of doing something and then I feel some kind of overwhelming force that distracts me or paralyzes me.  "It’s a good thing I’m going to King Spa this weekend,“ he thinks.

Tuesday 5-15-2018 6:48 Taurus Moon conjuncted Taurus Sun.  I was in the middle (the second day of three) of an assessment at work, with the big bosses going over my department in detail.  I was surprised at how well I was doing and I definitely felt a regeneration, moving forward with a different attitude toward my work, more cooperative, more accepting, and also feeling good that things had gone much more easily than expected again.

Oddly I did forget my breakfast.

10:16 AM Uranus entered Taurus and I could feel a change.  Aries Uranus was dominated by the Trump presidency for me, and the overwhelming feeling of weird stupid people doing weird, stupid vulgar things all over the world and none of it leading toward any familiar or comforting future, only bizarre failures and tedious simulations.  Taurus Uranus feels like we’re going to get into some action.  Instead of breaking things up in chaos, some people are going to start driving toward dark, mysterious, unheard of goals – including myself.  The past is gone.

Taurus Moon trined Capricorn Mars at 3:30 PM followed closely by the Moon entering Gemini at 3:43.  I was wrapping up the bulk of the work on my assessment, feeling good to be getting out of there, feeling powerful at having made it through so much of it without serious incident.  I also had to have a personal conversation with my big bosses and adapt to the more intense personal commitment required to succeed.  But then Moon entering Gemini disappated it as I got off of work and I just wanted to take a nap before playing MTG at GG with my friend J.  I did just that, dozing off in my car around in the side lot, waiting for him to make it through the rush hour traffic, feeling flighty and scattered in the usual Gemini way.  
However Gemini Moon sextiled Aries Chiron at 5:58 and the transit was certainly validated as I got beaten several times and sat for a bit, feeling sad and disaffected, but then I rebuilt my deck and got back in the game, only to get beaten again – but then one of my acquaintances showed me that I actually had an amazing white Angel deck in the making, including a $40 Lyra Dawnbringer I hadn’t even recognized for her value.  I came back and won and also won with my black deck against another acquaintance so the night was certainly a high and I talked to the showrunners about playing in Friday Night Magic and other tournaments.

Mars entering Aquarius at 11:55 was certainly validated by my immersion in MTG and the concept of games in general, as I am redesigning altars tonight and moving toward a more mental level, finding my "center” – fixed air relative to all the astral work I do, and also my increased sense of belonging at work as my assessment turned out well and I finally feel like I can handle my job, even as I get a better sense of what my next one is supposed to be.

11:01 PM 5/16/2018  Now I’m off to bed after working on some amazing Photoshop stuff all night.

The Buffy Diaries 5-14-2018

12:35 PM 5/13/2018  I had an interesting dream this morning that included someone in my meditation group and since I attended that I’ve been having an overwhelmingly powerful experience of energy and light flooding my mind.  

5-10-2018 0527 Pisces Moon conjuncted Pisces Neptune as I woke up feeling pretty good.  I lay awake in bed for a while savoring the dream of life before I headed downtown.  Pisces Moon was trining Scorpio Jupiter as I was tying up loose ends and feeling very in control as I’d discovered a new way to use OneNote to keep track of e-mails and feeling better at managing than ever before.  Lately I’ve been focusing on reducing information to usable streams and overcoming the tendency to wander through a wilderness of possibilities.  I was at lunch when Pisces Moon squared Gemini Venus.  I was feeling a little dislocated from life as I’d forgotten my phone charger so I couldn’t listen to any music.  But on the whole I was feeling like it was an enjoyable day.

1:08 PM 5/13/2018  I had this sudden impulse to go into another room and at that moment the phone rang.  It was a wrong number.  The other person had been given my number falsely or by accident.  I can feel higher forces moving around as I write this, changing the meaning of a lot of my experiences.  I’m having certain daydreams which I’ve had repeatedly over the last few years and they seem to be healing or closing in some way.  

Pisces moon sextiled Taurus Sun at 12:58, right at the end of a big meeting.  There was another meeting scheduled for 2 PM and I tried to use the “power of intention” or whatever you want to call it to make it go well.  I was nervous but I focused on postive outcomes and in the end the meeting didn’t go as badly as I’d feared it would, even if there was some more work to do, so I suppose the sextile with the Sun was validated as a minor demonstration of a kind power.

Pisces Moon sextiled Capricorn Pluto at 3:13 PM.  The transit was validated as once again I was working downtown on a day Pluto made a transit.  Also the added work resulting from the meeting was related to the difficulty of Capricorn.  

1:56 PM 5/13/2018  I’m having amazing energetic experiences today, and some of the developments in relationships that have happened over the weekend are helping me to make subtle distinctions between inside and outside so hopefully I’ll know what to do with all these perceptions in the future.

Friday 5-11-2018 Moon entered Aries at 7:40 AM, and my focus returned.  I was able to deal with the problems that mounted up over the previous couple of days, and they worked out easier than expected.  I was actually cruising through a lot of it.  Aries moon conjuncted Aries Chiron at 9:52 AM.  I just had an insight as I wrote this that following these transits over and over will give me a 360-degree vision of how the forces are angling through this world.   Although the Chiron transit was validated as things were working out exceptionally smoothly and the troubles I’d had the day before seemed to completely vanish, it wasn’t as dramatic as such transits were last year when I was listening to the Buffy soundtrack all the time.

As I was writing that I had a microburst of visual information about perspectives on my Buffy watching, but I don’t know how to decipher it.  

The Sun in Taurus sextiled Capricorn Pluto at 6:10 PM.  I was getting ready for a night out at the movies, picking up a Mother’s day card and getting a haircut, very collective activities that validated the transit, especially since the movie that night was a Plutonian voyage into the underworld and death called “Mod Fuck Explosion”.

Aries Moon squared Capricorn Saturn at 11:35 PM.  The transit was validated as I was generally worried about whether I’d be able to stay up that night, having been awake since 5:30 that morning.  However I did survive and we got to the theater a few minutes after the transit.  There were other factors in the evening that also validated the transit, as the conversation that night was all about limitations experienced concerning the collective, as we had each tried to express our individuality and been thwarted in various ways by the stupidity and shallowness of the world we live in – which made the themes of “Mod Fuck Explosion” especially relevant.

Gemini Venus inconjuncted Capricorn Pluto at 12:05 AM, just as the movie started and the extravagantly fake style of the film certainly validated the transit, also the ironic comment on how vulgar and stupid the world is related directly to the Gemini element.  

2:12 PM 5/13/2018 As I’m writing this I’m feeling the center I need for my own feelings coming into focus.

Saturday 5/12/2018 Aries Mercury squared Mars Capricorn at 8:30 AM as I was leaving to go meditate.  I’m not sure I remember what was going on except I think I felt the square in the uncomfortable rush for time as I had to move a lot of the Chicago IANDS books and do some errands, and I was also pissed off that I’d gained weight from the night before.  I’d only had a few hours of sleep and I wasn’t going to get any more.  More dramatic energy changes are happening as I write this.

“Mod Fuck Explosion” was a bit of a revelation; I was very impressed with the film and I think it liberated some Mercurial and Martian energies of protest that I was feeling the next morning with the transit.  I was uncomfortable with the pressures of making it through the day, certainly.

But the meditation went well, and so did the Chicago IANDS meeting.  As I’m writing this I’m getting what I’ve wished for for a very long time, a more unified sense of “who I want to be”.  I know this blog is the instrument of the unification of these various facets of my spiritual experience.  

Aries Moon inconjuncted Scorpio Jupiter at 4:02 PM.  I was relaxing, having made it through the stressful day successfully.  I even managed a short nap before the meeting ended at 5 PM, so I felt the energies of the transit as a flicker or a brief wave that was not unpleasant, although I still felt the press of events.  The speaker was very powerful and I got quite a bit of insight.

I slept through the other transits.

Mercury entered Taurus this morning at 7:40 AM.  I had an interesting dream of being at work, surrounded by a lot of people who were very grounding – a Taurean dream, if you will.  The transit was validated in a new sense of seriousness and concreteness I have toward the spiritual groups I belong to.  Things are getting sorted out in a very definite way.  

Aries Moon squared Capricorn Mars at 11:31.  I was feeling some incredibly intense energies that were blissful but made it impossible to make decisions or get anything done.  The transit was definitely validated by the intensity of this psychic experience and I’ll have to look closer to see if these energies are specifically related to Mars, and possibly Kara, and what I might do with them.

Aries Moon conjuncted Aries Uranus at 1:05 and this transmission was continuing, unexpectedly lifting me out of so many conflicts of my past and showing me the souls of the people I know in a very new way, including much more information about higher structures.  The transit is definitely validated by the unexpected power of this transmission and the increased sense of accomplishment, like I might actually get something done here. Some huge section of my life is totally over and I’m very grateful as the people I’ve known in this life were just awful garbage.  Good riddance!  And I hate all this cocreative crap I’ve had to put up with from these silly half-ass cheerleaders.

The Moon entered Taurus at 1:15 and I began to be able to function better, assimilating the wild energies of Aries Moon and calming down enough to work.  Looking back I see that I started trying to write just before the Uranus conjunction but kept getting sidetracked by the psychic intensity of the transmission.  A lot happened but now I feel a bit more on track.

The Taurus Moon conjuncted Taurus Mercury at 1:57 and I note that it was a few minutes later, at 2:12 pm, that I wrote that I was starting to be able to feel a center to my feelings after a very wild few hours of being blasted with light from a higher dimension.    

6:34 PM 5/13/2018  I’m getting some good traction with – and I stopped there.

The Buffy Diaries 5-9-2018

10:22 PM 5/9/2018  Sunday night went very well, as I officially assisted John for the first time.  I was aware of being observed from a higher world.  

Monday evening 4:58 Gemini Venus squared Pisces Neptune.  All morning I was feeling out of sorts, not functioning at all.  It’s been a week of tension as I struggle to work while feeling very dramatic emanations.  However Aquarius Moon trined Gemini Venus at 6:25 PM as I got home and I felt more in control.  I went to work out for the first time in months.  I didn’t run, just did a muscel workout, but after all that’s better for weight loss anyway.  My workout was right around the time the Aquarius Moon squared Taurus Sun – validating gregarious Aquarius, I was back in the public flow, focusing on concrete, Taurean developments.  As Aquarius Moon squared Scorpio Jupiter at 11:11 PM I was developing some good 3D imagery, getting more of the strategic/Scorpio control I want of the subconscious imagery in my images.  Transit validated.

Tuesday the 8th, Aquarius Moon sextiled Aries Mercury and I was looking on the web and happened to see an article about  Damaris Alexandra Reyes Rivas, the murdered gang member.  I felt very certain that I was in telepathic contact with her ghost, and validating the Aries/Aquarius transit I felt I could have a role in the world, among people, initiating the kind of spirit communication that such a horrifying murder demands.  I thought about it for quite a while.

7:39 PM Taurus Sun opposing Scorpio Jupiter.  I was playing MTG at GG with a friend (I’m using code names now, going back and forth across the line between public and private).  I was losing a lot but having a lot of fun.  My friend’s car had broken down.  I discovered quite a bit about dealing with peoples’ mental bodies but I also felt intimidated because I lost so much and I wondered what I shoudl act like.  I was also flashing back on a lot of adolescent male-bonding issues and memories of the old friend I’d talked to a few days before.  I’m still getting a ton of information about the past related to that.  But the Sun-Jupiter opposition was definitely validated in my sense of loss and discomfort, even though I was discovering quite a bit and ultimately it was a positive learning experience.

Jupiter oppositions usually suck for me.  I’ll have to work on them to improve them the way I have Lunar transits of Capricorn.

Aquarius Moon sextiled Aries Uranus at 9:29 PM.  I was sitting in a parking lot where I’d had my second Buffynicity in a while.

Buffynicity #1:  On the way to GG I stopped at McDonald’s.  Then when I got to GG, my friend called and said his car had broken down so I had to drive all the way back to the very same McDonald’s to pick him up.  This brought him that much closer into the loop of my life.  Furthermore, at the theater by this McDonald’s the marquee indicated that they would be showing “Goldfinger” the next night.  Only a day or two earlier I was thinking in detail about the plot for a revamped version of “Goldfinger” which I have made up, so that was a very definite emergence from the dreamworld.  It’s nice to start having Buffynicities again.

The Uranus transit was validated as I had an unexpectedly powerful experience of channeling and telepathy with my friend, and also many revelations about the flow of time and the origin of relationships in a higher plane.

The Moon entered Pisces at 10:11 PM and I was on my way home, processing the amazing transformations I’d experienced that night, feeling very vindicated in the magical search of my life.

Today Gemini Venus inconjuncted Scorpio Jupiter at 1:36 PM.  I had been struggling to concentrate all day, but I was making some headway.  I could feel someone in a higher world observing me.  At the same time I felt more fed up with this world than ever.  I was getting work done but feeling totally disappointed with every aspect of life in these United States, especially the entertainment business.  But my telepathy was increasing, so it was an unpleasant day but only in a minor way.

Buffynicity #2:  I thought all day about going to see Goldfinger, but ultimately decided not to.  Coincidentally, I got a call that I would have to pick up the books for Chicago IANDS tonight instead of tomorrow, something that would have been impossible if I’d gone to the movie.

This call came about an hour after Pisces Moon sextiled Taurus Saturn at 3:22 PM – validating the transit with a definite time-pressure issue as I wound up working about a half hour later than expected anyway.

Tomorrow the expected Pluto transit (because I’m working downtown) is at 3:13 PM.  I’ll be waking up as the Pisces Moon conjuncts Pisces Neptune at 5:27 AM – I wonder what kind of dreams I’ll have.

10:45 PM 5/9/2018  This is such a boring, stupid world.  

The Buffy Diaries 5-6-2018

4:06 PM 5/6/2018  I’m catching up with my narrative right before a circle where I’m officially assisting.  So I’m the youn apprentice now.  Lyn just asked me about the toaster oven in the kitchen – is it mine?  I don’t think so.  I think I had one when I moved in but probably I gave it to Carly or something.  Yesterday I talked on the phone to Fig, after 25 years.  I looked at his horoscope.  I should be looking at the horoscope for tonight but I’m trying new things with my narrative.  I want to serve the attendees tonight, but why am I serving them?  Out of the goodness of my heart?  

I’m trying to remember Monday now.  I had totally forgotten that I was at King Spa on Sunday.  During the day the Scorpio Moon inconjuncted Gemini Venus in the afternoon, 1:32 PM.  I was feeling very good.  My level of integration was improving.  It was easier to think about going back to work the next day – my sense of disassociation from my own life gets less all the time.  I didn’t make it as often through long sessions in the Sudatorium but I did hit all the different saunas consistently and I managed to do a full 20 minutes in the IR room.  

As I write now I can feel I’m in a different state, including more personal details, less worried about the difference between the way I see myself and the way the world sees me.

The inconjunct was a positive experience, a sense of momentum, moving forward toward my own desires.  Venus in Gemini, however, felt insubstantial, like I existed on the periphery of my own desires.  They were being fulfilled somehow, but there wasn’t much force in them.  

Scorpio Moon sextile Capricorn Saturn 6:50 I could definitely feel the momentum building and Moon opposing Taurus sun I got a great deal of insight and integration, but the Taurus Sun still makes me feel very small and isolated.  I definitely got good stuff but it wasn’t going to appear very spectacular in the world.  Furthermore, I am very used to King Spa so I didn’t drag out the visit, I was actually looking forward to getting home to work on 3D.  That was the momentum I felt from the sextile of Saturn.

Monday, Scorpio Moon trining Pisces Neptune as I got to work I felt pretty good, fairly in control of my life.  I still had the momentum from the night before.  More and more I feel like “I am” somebody, it’s just not a spectacular somebody.  But I do remember when Scorpio Moon conjuncted Scorpio Jupiter in the afternoon that I felt a little disappointed that the Neptune trine had gone by without the spectacular gold-tinted pseudo-visuals that I often get.  It passed a little too smoothly – or did it?  Is the Neptune energy getting more integrated?

I did feel strongly that the Jupiter conjunct was validated because I felt very in charge of my life, like I was getting everything I want, self control, and the ability to think clearly about issues.  Unfortunately I’ve forgotten the details.

All week I’ve been thinking that I had “just done” a blog entry so it wouldn’t be too hard to catch up, but now I find I’ve let a whole week pass.  In that way I’ve been a little fuzzy.  

Scorpio Moon sextiling Capricorn Pluto at 5:38 in the afternoon came about the same time I was shopping.  I was expecting a big check this last Friday so I was conserving funds.  However I do remember buying some insoles to help with the plantar fasciitis I’ve been experiencing in my right foot.  That’s the only thing that comes to mind, although I was excited about being at home and working on 3D.  I think the “fixed water” aspect related to going about my daily routine and leaving the powerful transformation to take place under the surface.  As I write this I remember a Scorpio I used to know and I had a brief flash of all the people of the world united under the force fields of astrology.  It was a telepathic experience I’m recording although I don’t know where it came from.  I should remember that about Pluto though.

Scorpio Moon sextiling Capricorn Mars in the evening – I was getting some good stuff done with 3D, feeling powerful, although the big Capricorn influnence during those days was making me feel very limited, very workaday.

Tuesday the 1st was Beltane.  Scorpio Moon inconjuncted Aries Uranus in the morning at 8:51.  I wish I could remember what happened.  I think it was validated.  But then the Moon entered Sagittarius at 10:20 and that was definitely validated as my forward momentum fuzzed out completely.  I was getting better information – 4:30 PM 5/6/2018 just then I had another flash or shift of telepathic information.  I was thinking about Kara.  I’ve been listening to “Vienna” by Ultravox a lot this week.  I saw an image of an old movie on HBO that was about some boarding house in England.  I’m letting this change overtake me.

The Sagittarius Moon trined Aries Chiron at 11:44.  Damn, I wish I remembered what I’d been doing then.  From now on I’ll have to make notes specifically at each moment.  However there was a lot of Chiron influence this week as the next night I was talking to Fig and we agreed to talk on the phone.  But for the first time I’m at a total loss to remember what happened that day.  Perhaps it’s good.  

Gemini Venus inconuncted Capricorn Saturn that night at 9:24 but all I remember was that I probably worked on 3D.  Possibly I did laundry.  As I’m writing I’m experiencing a transformation.  I think spirits are pulling me away from an older form of expression toward something else, as the changes I started making the next night were very deep.  However I’m also realizing that I will have to make definite notes about tranits in the future.

Last weekend I was prompted to start listing the signs the planets were in and the exact time of the transits, and now I’ve had my first experience of trying to write with a different energetic relationship to the past – I can’t remember a damn thing that happened on those days.  So this marks a definite change for me.

Wednesday on of my coworkers was out of town so I remember the day a little better.  Sagittarius Moon inconjuncted Taurus Sun at 9:49 AM.  I just had a flash of the different form of consciousness I am approaching.

Now I remember Tuesday!  The Aries Chiron transit probably had to do with that night as I played with Jay at Grognard Games and joined my first MTG tournament.  I even got a DCI number.  I played 3 games and felt very healed as I focused on being constructively engaged at multiple levels while playing people I’ve never met before.  It was actually a very deep experience and I’m amazed that I forgot it, even though I had even more amazing experiences later in the week.

So Venus inconjuncting Saturn was a nice bump, validated by the minor conflicts of the game but also lending some flavor to life.  And the Chiron transit was validated by the healing, integrating energy, living out some fanboy fantasies of belonging very similar to the original Buffy arc of the last Jupiter retrograde.

And while I’m writing this I made the transition to a more convivial style of blogging, reporting my existence the public.

So anyway Sagittarius Moon inconjuncted Taurus Sun at 9:49 AM, validating the lazy feeling of basically puttering around in my life.  I had some scans to do, for there is a site assessment coming up.  It was inconvenient but the nature of the project was such that I could feel very Sagittarian about it, approaching it on my own time, taking a shot at it here and there.  It was still inconjuncted however in that it felt slightly inconvenient. 4:46 PM 5/6/2018 I just felt another swirl or eddy of etheric energy around me.  I’m going to identify these “intrusions” (I’ll have to check my thesaurus) as etheric for a while, until I find a better word.  I feel that I’m drawing the disappated energy of that day back into myself by writing about it here.

Sagittarius Moon trined Aries Mercury that afternoon at 4:58 PM and the transit was fully validated as I “reinitiated” active contact with a friend I hadn’t seen in 25 years and we agreed to talk on Saturday.  I also initated watching the Adobe Photoshop tutorials and that unleashed a whirlwind of psychic energy as I moved to a new level of involvement with the visual arts and their magical potential.  Sagittarius Moon squaring Pisces Neptune was also fully valdiated by this release.  It was a very profound shift and I’m very gratified to find, looking back, that it so beautifuly reflected the astrological transits for the day.  I feel the possibility of a new astrological power coming to me.

Thursday I worked downtown again.  Surprisingly there were no Pluto transits during the day.  The day did go very smoothly.  Sagittarius Moon trined Aries Uranus that evening at 7:50.  Once again I have no recollection.  The only thing I do remember is that I was very gratified to make it through a relatively tight financial week while still affording some awesome deals on Renderosity.  The Photoshop tutorials were also bringing an awesome and unexpected sense of power, genuinely thrilling as I conntemplate the freedom of expression they’re bringing.

The Moon entered Capricorn at 9:06 PM.  I was wondering if the arc would bring any financial troubles but it hasn’t.  As a matter of fact I’ve felt pretty flush with an extra-large paycheck from the previous week’s overtime and the opportunity for a new credit card.  I hope that’s a sign that I’m turning this energy around.

I can’t remember if I was awake at 10:49 when the Moon squared Chiron but it was defintely a healing day that went unexpectedly easily for me, tying up loose ends at work.  I can feel the psychic shift of energy as I write this and see in my minds eye the events of that afternoon.  I was so happy to be working on 3D and Photoshop.  Some of the happiness, probably associated with Chiron, was to work on some very old photographs that have had significance to me, writing myself into my own dream in a more magical way.

Friday there were almost no transits.  There were some unexepectedly unpleasant developments in the morning, possibly echoes of the Uranus transit from the night before?  But they were resolved by EOD and when the Capricorn Moon conjuncted Capricorn Saturn at 3:02 PM I was very happy to have a weekend of adventure before me.  I was fairly caught up at work, extremely happy with my bank balance, and I had a lot of cool things to do.  I felt very focused.  The transit was definitely validated.  

As I write that I look back on the way I felt driving around Schaumburg in the afternoon and flash back on how I felt back in 1999, working at that computer database company with all those wacky Marilyn Manson fans, the first time I had imaginary friends.  They’re telling me I’ve come a long way since then.  Further validating the transit, I picked up a figure of Joffrey Lannister at WaxPax, a really fun villain who personifies the Saturnine aspect of human relationships.

I had a great time but then the Capricorn Moon inconjuncted Gemini in Venus at 10:38 and the transit was validated since even though I was enjoying working on 3D I was too unfocused to stay awake and I drifted off to sleep even though I was so excited about what I was working on that I really wanted to keep going.

Buffynicity #1:  Saturday Aries Mercury inconjuncted Scorpio Jupiter at 6:05 and this was validated a couple of hours later as I went to my friend’s house to meditate to find the session had been cancelled.  We had actually discussed this the week before but I forgot.  Then I went back home and looked at 3D to find one of my favorite artists had posted a picture acting out a scene just like the one that had just occurred when I walked into my friend’s house unexpectedly.  It was a Buffynicity since it involved mass media.  I haven’t had one of those in a while since I’ve stopped working out because of the pain in my heel.

Later that day I went down to Edgwater for the first time in weeks because it was Free Comic Day.  Capricorn Moon sextiling Scorpio Jupiter (11:00 AM) and squaring Aries Mercury (11:38 AM) were both validated with the thrill of acting out my ritual, being down at Graham Crackers and remembering all the psychic experiences I’ve had there, visiting Dice Dojo again and savoring the fact that I just got into my first official MTG tournament the week before.  The Jupiterian power came from the fact that this is a genuine holiday for me, and the Mercury was validated by all the information that came in the form of free comics and telepathic insights, and also the empowering phone conversation with my old friend that started at 2 PM and lasted until 4.  

I was having very powerful telepathic and magical adaptations related to that all day, and then the conversation itself went quite well and when I got off I had more energies to adapt to as Capricorn Moon conjuncted Capricorn Pluto at 4:00 PM.  Talking to my friend in the entertainment business collapsed various waveforms and filled in many gaps in the narrative of my life, too many to go into now as I have half an hour before the circle starts, but I’m definitely getting a better handle on the persona I’m supposed to have as a mediator for the angelic forces of my life and the unconscious forces of the underworld, so the transit was definitely validated.

This morning Capricorn Moon squared Aries Uranus at 8:48 AM and Taurus Sun sextiled Pisces Neptune while I was mediating at my friend’s house.  There was an unexpected note as one of the new meditation teachers I’m supposed to work with actually showed up for the first time in a while and led the session, and I made an appointment with her at a different time next week.  Also I felt as though a lot of issues had been cleared up while I slept.  And I felt a renewed vigor in my practice of that school as I was able to look back on a lot of the chaos I’d experienced in the early 90s (the time I shared with my old friend) and see how SRCM has really helped me.  There was also a very heightened sense that I am “living my own dream” now.  

The Moon entered Aquarius at 9:48.  I was still meditating and I am very gratified to report that I made it through a Capricorn Moon feeling financially well-off, a big change from last year when every Capricorn moon brought car trouble for several months.  Using astrology, I feel I am turning this trend around.

Aquarius Moon sextiled Aries Chiron at 11:47.  I went and had fried chicken at Jewel Osco for the first time in a while, and listened to “One Vision” by Queen.  It was a healing revisitation of old habits.  5:26 PM 5/6/2018 Angels are interrupting me now and pointing out how repetitive it is for me to write the same things about healing over and over.  I can feel the repetitive nature of this process taking some traction, beginning to wind into something else.  There has to be some significance to the specific Chiron energies I feel, something I can do with them.  

Nevertheless the transit was validated and I’m ready for the dreaming circle.

Tomorrow Gemini Venus squares Pisces Neptune at 4:58.  I’ll be grocery shopping but I’m looking fowarard to seeing if I get any new Neptunian visuals, especially since Aquarius Moon will be trining Gemini Venus a little later.  I look foward to working with Photoshop.

5:20 PM 5/6/2018  Now they’re trying to get me to remember this morning.  

 I can’t remember if I was awake at 10:49 when

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.

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.

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.
