It is the season of the witch and warlock. Where is the wise man? The shaman takes pain away.

What is the strength of the wise woman? Is it about, after a certain age, the insight that has been collected has less passion for experiment? How often do we hear that, we must stay engaged? The energy of others gives and takes away, any control we might care about. Death can devastate those left behind. It is a karmic completion. After years of acceptance we can be aware of something special that comes in the void. Halloween, Samhain is the time to remember acceptance. The cosmic rays and invisible atoms and particles will eventually provide us with reconnections.

Invite those who are in another realm to visit. Make sure the malevolent stay away. Decisions must be made. You are the transformer. The need to desire has enhanced your compassion. Examine your thought patterns. See Vivian Leigh in “Gone with the Wind”. A very fine Scorpio. Be aware and remember “change” is imminent. If you let it, self examination is your most powerful weapon.

Truth is a slippery, silly, and illusionary concept. It can only ever be evaluated by a moment in time that influences the collective. The feather tips the scales, and lies are hurtful. The concept of voting has consistency and many variables, we all need to feel we have some control.

History has shown us how many variables there are to the powers that be. Saturn ate his children. Richard the Third may or may not have killed the princes in the tower, but Shakespeare needed to keep Elizabeth the First happy.

Purpose on the other hand is magnificent. And the passion of purpose is the best. We can always justify our version of the truth. The trick is in remembering it.

Astrologers often say Venus rules self worth. In Roman days, the currency was libras. Balancing the scales is elusive. How much is your self worth, worth? Decisions are a commitment. If a train is coming at you, you move off the track. Your hearth is being attacked. Reassess where and how you live. You can always change your mind...

Mercury, the Trickster is the God of the moment. He poses dilemmas and answers questions with questions. He is trying to equate or tame Uranus, the God of evolving communications.

How to equate fear and freedom? Are we better protected? We live in a time of escalated rules and suspicion. Supposedly to protect our freedom. As our collective communication is filled with polarizing points of view, it is almost impossible to not feel paranoid. As the tv show “Person of Interest” displays, we are being watched and analyzed in greater and greater measure. We denigrate the process in other cultures, Sharia, Islamic law of retribution, or Chinese reproduction rules. CCTV is everywhere in Great Britain. It would seem that this rolling wave of too much information is suffocating.

Nerves can be smoothed over by talking. Be sure and find time to listen too. Do not try to figure everything out. The merry-go-round is a lovely analogy of the nonsensical that is a constant. Believe there will be solutions to what is seemingly a morass of murkiness. The focus is on you, enjoy it!

Circles.

To examine the inner part.

The symbol for the sun is a circle with a dot inside. Like concentration and meditation, there must be a focus. The need to calm emotions is a gentle repetitive focus.

The sun in the sign of Leo is at home. We are enjoying magnanimous light and hopefully insight.

Find Faith and see that Fear is as useful as is courage. But with both these concepts there should be prudence.

We are all storytellers. The gift is finding the right one, that each of us needs to tell. The way is different. Observing is a part of storytelling, as is listening. Hearing another person’s truth can be conflicting to our own. We strive to keep what is ours as we must. We also need to give the time and space to hearing and seeing those that share our intimacy. The polarity of opinions surrounding our common earth must become more tolerant.

Center stage is your spot. If your crown is wobbly, realize the brightness may be a factor. Your career is highlighted thru embracing chaos. If you dream of the dead, they are soothing the fears. Offer service by helping those creating new structures.

Relationships are what motivate and frustrate.

The emotional and responsible do a dance of passion, torture, and insight.

The original battle of Hera and Zeus shows us that the human condition needs imagination and restriction. We are enacting this at the moment with the “me too” idea. We all want both. But, life only allows for a moment in time to contain both beauty, magic and commitment. The foible of a philandering Zeus is the creative quest for new exciting experiences.

Today’s propaganda believers do not want to collect, they want to experience. Well, this also undermines the power of seduction and the moments that are enjoyable and frightening. Collecting is a part of desire. To contain the balance is what is most needed. Older folks are jealous and competitive with youth. With age comes the perspective but the passion can disappear.

Zeus thought of so many wonderful ways to seduce. The worst was when he lost interest. What Hera did when cheated on, was up the ante and destroy what Zeus created. Do you see the dichotomy?

This eclipse on July 2 is showing humanity how to nurture. Accepting that life is rarely fair, the individual needs are demanding acceptance of (others) point of view. Multi-tasking your feelings is extremely hard. This moment is about reconnecting to your history. The examining of shadows is required. Enjoy being in or on water with groups of friends.

Mercury is very good at confusion and mutation. As the chatty character of the consortium of the Gods, he knows how to read situations and pull all the reticent information we are hiding from ourselves and each other. As it is often necessary to go deeper, it can be chaos that takes over our thoughts. To receive the gold of consciousness, we must be willing to let go of our convictions and embrace the darkness of doubt. We truly have so little control over anything. But we must have boundaries and structure to survive.

Hats are the fun and the protection. Mercury has the winged one to propel him and keep him grounded.

Do you have a hat rack? Very important for you to keep a lid on yourself. Look to nurturing and alluring people to have your back. The art of conversation entails listening closely to what people are trying to say. They do not always say what they mean. You can hear all the levels of intent. Gently let those you love speak and use a guide dog to point out the foibles.

The lunar moth is a splendid creature that enhances the mythology of the moon and only lives 7 days. It has the spiritual nature of impermanence and beauty. It is a phenomenal mysterious creature only seen at night. It embodies the new moon and the full moon and celebrates the majestic and potential of consciousness.

Sleeping during daytime evokes the Subtle and glorious.

Their sole purpose is to reproduce. They do not eat or have digestive capabilities.

You may be more assertive than your normal routine. Take risks that will pan out. Contemplation will be enhanced later in the month. Perceptions will come from out of the way places and how you encourage yourself to look at life in a broader arena. The intellect is only as useful as the ability to clarify your emotions

Vodou has a hero called St Jacques. He is a warrior and member of Ogou. He has many similar qualities to Mars, God of War. He is the lover of Erzulie Freda, who has many attributes similar to Venus, Goddess of Love.

This time of year is the awakening of earth energy. Both aggression and love making are providing impetus to acknowledge the momentous season of change.

Spirits are on the move, shapeshifters and beasts are promoting effortless movements to embrace inevitable change.

The new moon on the 5th brings focus to your desires. There may be authority figures hanging out to impede the reckless momentum. It is your moment of pizazz. There is diversity and mischievous power that is yours for the asking. Allow others to be a part of the action.

Do you believe in magic?

In 1948 Claude M Bristol wrote a little classic book called “The Magic of Believing”. Mr Bristol was a journalist, an investment banker and thinker.

The amazing thing about books that were successful and permeate the collective is, after time, the essence has more punch than the contemporary books along the same lines. This is because, the human ego can no longer impose on the purity of the rules of psychic truths.
The writers of the I Ching, the Bible or the Koran are not known as living people, with foibles.

The science of thought has been acknowledged since the written word was invented, probably before, thru rhythm and song. It is also known that the power of suggestion thru repetition or hypnotism is pervasive in the porous boundaries of the human psyche.

Coincidence, synchronicity and metaphysics are not commonly embraced in the world of politics and making money. But, we all know the Latin proverb “Believe that you have it, and you have it.”

Your time in the Sun. Vesta, the goddess of the hearth is providing the flame to make water boil. Look to close friends, neighbors and siblings to glorify their perception of you. The world of magic, dreams, inspiration and hope are your domaine. Let facts be handled by those who enjoy it more. Our time incarnated here can be about the elusive rather than the concrete. Whatever you believe in, embrace it.

Marx, Hegel, Freud, are the creators of how we think today. A journalist, philosopher and doctor, all brought us the manifestation of their collective perspective. Capitalism vs Communism were not named before them. The id, ego and psyche were only examined in royalty, and under different terms. The desire nature became the conduit for advertising. Have a look at Genius by Bettany Hughes on Netflix.

This month brings the Chinese New Year of the Pig on the 5th. It happens at the new moon, which is in Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign of liberty, equality and fraternity, it’s ruler Uranus discovered at the time of the French Revolution. Also the era that gave birth to the afore mentioned ideas. Ideas only exist for a time and are exchanged for whatever the collective unconscious deems more appropriate. What could this evolve into?

You are center stage. Communal living is a part of your perspective. You are the inspiration for the masses. Water sports can be a good idea. Even watching others, is beneficial. Be sure Valentine’s is celebrated. Your energy may be less, but your spirit is enhanced. When your ruler moves into Taurus, in March, let the love of mothering be in the prominent position.
