10:18 PM 6/18/2018  Tonight I am screaming in nothingness.  Neptune is retrograde and everything is difficult.  I had a relatively unpleasant dream about imprisonment this morning, and then there were some synchronicities around it when I woke up, which was interesting.  Then I forgot my badge so when I got to work I had to drive back home and get it.  Three hours in the car.  That wasn’t so bad but then after work, I had driven most of the way home when I got a call that I had forgotten to return a key to security so I had to go back (more with the imprisonment issue) and so I missed Rio Bravo at the Music Box because I had to drive around for twenty minutes or more looking for a parking spot.  So I completely blew that whole evening driving for another three hours in the oppressive heat until thankfully it started to rain (unfortunately just as I was getting to the theater).  But I did have an umbrella.  And now I’ve missed my only chance to see my favorite western on the big screen. But I am learning to let go, I suppose, as Neptune is retrograde on a day when I “coincidentally” had to drive back and forth across Chicago, retracing my steps four times.

Then I got home and fortunately my motivation is good to work out, although I’m still not getting there early enough to ride the bikes as much as I want.  I watched a bit more of Sense8.  

Also we were supposed to get a big delivery this morning but the drivers didn’t speak English so they didn’t tell us they had it, they just sat in the parking lot for five hours until I went out and asked them.  Another tedious, time-wasting fuckup.

And now I’m at home, thankful that it rained after a sweltering weekend, exhausted and too lazy to get my astrological calendar out of my bag.

10:30 PM 6/18/2018  But I just managed to make myself do it and since my regular MTG game is on hold tomorrow I can take care of various errands, including shopping and my life will be right again.

So Virgo Moon was training Taurus Uranus when I woke up this morning from an unusually powerful dream and was immediately greeted by an e-mail with the symbol from my dream in it.  Transit validated at 6:19 AM.

Virgo Moon inconjuncted Aries Chiron at 7:33 as I had just arrived at work to find that I’d forgotten my badge.  I turned around to head home, impending to focus on the creative energies of thought during the two hour drive ahead, so the transit was definitely validated as this was an excursion into self-awareness. It actually felt pretty good by the time I was done so I would call it a healing experience.

Virgo Moon trined Capricorn Saturn at 2:39 PM.  I had gotten a bunch of work out of the way, but there had still been a lot of tedious delays.  It was a strange, heavy day so the transit was somewhat validated.  I was actually looking forward to seeing Rio Bravo at the same time I was wondering whether it was worth the effort.  

But then around 5 PM I got called back to work and I wound up spending three more hours in the car, during which time it started raining right around the time Neptune went retrograde at 6:26 PM and I was reliving old wounds while sailing and gnashing my teeth over missing Rio Bravo, as it is totally impossible to park around the Music Box on weeknights – it’s all permit parking around there now.  When I finally to the theater it was 7:40 and they wouldn’t let me in, so I came home and worked out and now here I am.  

I see now that Virgo Moon inconjuncted Aquarius Mars at 6:39 and I felt it in that sense of the totally oppressive anger of the evil goons who have surrounded me my entire life, from Mr. Winter to that creepy pig Steve D. to my ugly little twerp brother and beyond.  But the transit was validated in a positive sense as I did get a better understanding and this whole wretched day is very appropriate to begin a Neptune retrograde as obviously these are some of the issues I have to review.

Meanwhile tomorrow the Moon opposes Neptune and Mercury trines Jupiter, so awesome things can happen.  I do feel like I got a lot of insight today and now I’ll go ahead and process it.  I look forward to doing some good illustration work tomorrow night.

9:21 AM ¾/2018  I had a dream this morning, but I already forgot what it was.  I want to get to King Spa quickly today but I also want to do an experiment, blogging in the morning to see if there are any identifiable changes by this evening.  I feel fantastic.  I’ve had a great weekend so far.

Thursday I was downtown, the Moon trined Saturn and the transit was highly validated because I felt the most overwhelmed I have felt in months.  I actually stayed a few hours late at work just to make sure I was caught up with as much as I could be.  It was a bit of a drag but I had some nice feelings about it.  The full moon had a bit to do with it as it was a confrontation with the buildup of backlog that had been dumped on me over the previous week.  I was still listening to “The Rockford Files” a lot, thinking about attitudes toward work I developed in the 70s when I was a kid. 

I checked old e-mails and I was surprised to find that I was going to have to do a couple hours extra work the next day.

The Moon opposition with Neptune was a bit like a Full Moon.  I did feel disassociated from my own dream, but I also felt like I was getting a new lease on life.  I’ve been looking back over the months since I started this blog, thinking about how afraid I was at first for anyone at work to find out about me, and how now I just don’t give a damn.  I’ve got other directions to go I guess, and my main concern is to keep aligned with the spirit world.

The theme from the Rockford Files is really charged with energy for me.  It was really something my soul marked out as significant when I was a kid.

Friday I was on my way to work when Mercury trined Jupiter.  I was slightly early and feeling very cheerful when I realized I’d forgotten my badge, so I had to drive back home and got to work two hours late.  All the way on the extra drive I was feeling very magical, getting a lot of perceptions even though I was worried about my lateness and the extra work I was going to do.  I could feel the focusing of intuitive powers and I was looking forward to a wild weekend full of magic. 

I realized I’d forgotten my badge just after the transit.  But then not only did I have a good time on the extra drive, when I got to work everyone was very accepting and I found out the two hours of extra work I had thought I had to do was actually unnecessary and I wound up being ahead of the game.  This was during the runup to the Moon trining Pluto, which is interesting because it felt like a slingshot into a much happier state after the gloom and doom of the day before.  I’m still not sure how it relates to Pluto.

But possibly the Moon squaring Mars contributed to an exhilarating sensation of “riding the rapids”.  The Moon sextiling Jupiter and opposing Mercury added speed.  I definitely felt the expansive confidence of Jupiter getting off work and heading into my weekend.  The opposition with Mercury had something to do with the creepy horror movie, “Lips of Blood” I was intending to see.  There was an opposition with Venus as well.

All these oppositions contributed to one of the most upbeat days I’ve had in months, and a distinct sense of not giving a damn what the future brings even though I have a very important appointment next week.  I think it’s a sign that hard times are over for a while and I don’t have too much to worry about.

I think the Moon opposing Chiron made the whole thing a big healing, and it definitely was a watershed day, and this is one of the most fun weekends I’ve had in months.

The Moon inconjunct Uranus was validated by the fact that I unexpectedly fell asleep and missed my movie, though I saw it last night instead.

Oddly I now find that the only thing that happened yesterday was that the Moon squared Saturn.  I did spend all day on rearranging my bedroom, which was a spectacular improvement, and then in the evening (after the transit) I was worried about going to the ritual I attended and then seeing a movie afterward.  I missed my workout because I wanted to take a nap and I left too late to get anything to eat before the ritual.  In fact the ritual was a special occasion that took twice as long as I was expecting and in the evening I was sitting there worried about getting to the theater on time.  Also, my phone’s battery ran down unexpectedly and I hadn’t worn a wristwatch so I was worried about what time it was with no way to check.  So the transit was definitely validated, even reaching to this morning as I feel rushed for time, trying to get this done.

The Moon inconjuncted the Sun and Neptune right after I finished watching “Lips of Blood” at the Music Box, and that was very appropriate as it was a very enlightening and relevant dream experience.  Very liberating too as I’m excited to see the next two films in the series.

Furthermore, the person I’m going to see the next films with has the same name as one of the main characters in Lips of Blood.

I was awake when the Sun opposed Neptune this morning, wondering why the hell I  couldn’t get moving to King Spa because I love it so much.  But I just kept spinning my daydream-wheels.

9:52 AM ¾/2018  I just wrote that and remembered a very important Buffynicity about death I had yesterday, which I will write tonight because it feels so deep to talk about it and I just want to get out there to King Spa.

It will have something to do with the powerful aspects today:

Mercury conjunct Venus and Chiron!  Venus conjunct Chiron!  Moon square Pluto, sextiling Mars, and opposing Uranus.

Something amazing is going to happen today.  As I leave I’m very excited because I felt from Friday that this was an amazing weekend, one of the best in months, but only now have I checked the aspects to see today’s aspects are exceptionally powerful in all the right places, and I’m spending the day in deep trance at King Spa.

Wish me luck.
