Venus is now in Taurus. Yum.

The Day of Mars marks the last day of Earthweek.

TUESDAY MAY 27

The Day of Mars marks the last day of Earthweek. Mars isn't comfortable in Libra, according to astrological tradition. Libra is the sign of Mars' detriment, opposite its natural home in Aries. This means that Mars is considered weak in Libra, because it can not operate in its most natural way. However, modern astrologers recognize that a planet in unfamiliar territory presents unique opportunities, not just challenges. When disparate elements such as spontaneity and strategy, individuality and co-operation or action and reflection meet, the mix is combustible, but very powerful. Those able to harness these seeming contradictions can gain the strengths of both sides, rather than being confused or torn between them. We all have a greater possibility to build bridges now as martian initiative meets Libran conciliation. It takes courage to make peace, and this combination favors those who move in that direction. The shadow side of Mars in Libra, however, is the smile-wearing (Libra) attacker (Mars) who masks his aggression with a pretense of kindness. We are likely to find ourselves carefully measuring others to balance the seemingly opposite forces of self-interest and co-operation during this period. At 2:10 am the waning Taurus Moon goes void of course (5:10 am ET) after contacting Saturn and Jupiter, to fill our dreams with insight into our long-term projects. The Moon is void all day, until its entry into Gemini at 9:48 pm, but we can still bring home the bacon with the void period in Taurus. Sensual Venus joins the karmic South Node of the Moon, creating a false sense of security about the romantic notion of going with the flow. However, it’s smarter to give a project an additional nudge forward than to coast through the day.

Metaversal Sunday Forecast....not down the street at historic Sweet’s Ballroom.

SUNDAY MAY 25
Intelligence is the greatest aphrodisiac, but a dab of extract from a civet's anal gland and a nice pair of shoes will work just as well today. The Day of the Sun in the Week of Earth and the Sun is now in Gemini, without sentiment. Sunday’s for May are big Metaversal days. Johannes Ayres teaches his Western Tantra class at the beautiful Metaversal Studios near Lake Merrit in Oakland Sunday mornings at 8:00 a.m. (in the Ballroom). This allows practioners to attend the Metaversal x-X-static Dance Workshop (also every Sunday morning) down the street at historic Sweet’s Ballroom. It's Gemini's job to help us see alternative views of reality. Gemini is neither about truth nor judgment. It offers options, explorations, possibilities, conjecture and jokes. The lens of perception may be turned in its need to catch the light from yet another angle. If we take this to the limit we may ridicule others, using wit to separate ourselves from feelings. But the purpose here is not for us to wound or be wounded. It is to lighten up, brighten up and open the mind's eye to new possibilities. There can be real compassion with detachment now. This is the season for sharing our thoughts and observations without the censor of truth or judgment. We may find the space to speak with openness, simply exchanging information and ideas down the street at historic Sweet’s Ballroom. No one needs to be right. There is no grade for this course. It's a free pass or the eye, the mind and the mouth to travel new paths and remember that reality is not just one thing, but an infinite web of possibilities. We might not have a solid handle on reality this morning because we’re so concerned with initiating action that we forget about the principle of cause and effect. An overly optimistic Sun-Jupiter alignment raises our hopes, along with the stakes. But we’re not easily fooled because mental Mercury connects with intelligent Uranus to sharpen our minds. Like every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m., you can join Sri Baba Johannanda for his Hatha Yoga class at Metaversal Lightcraft. Meanwhile, the Moon’s shift into earthy Taurus at 2:27 pm sets our feet firmly on the ground. We could be tempted to take a last look backward today as Mercury trines and Venus opposes the North Node. This is about relationship choices and commitments. The Moon enters its void period at 8:58 am, but the doorway to loving communication is left open. The Moon goes into Taurus at 2:28 pm, and we see where we were one lunar month ago with fresh eyes, in preparation for the new cycle, which starts on Wednesday. This is the Balsamic, Wishing Moon, when the thoughts and images we project into the lunar chalice seed the coming month. Tonight is the premiere of the Meta-show "The Hack" at 8:00 p.m., broadcast live from Metaversal Studios Oakland.

Metaversal Earthweek Daily Forecasts for May 22nd to May 26th

Thursday May 22

Take physical exercise in Jupiter's Day, when he is reigning, and use Jovial things such as Lapis Lazuli, Brass, Cedarwood, blue and aery colours, wine, honey; and entertain thoughts and feelings which are particularly Jovial, that is, expansive, healthy, and with good humour... - Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Astrologer and Orphic Musician

The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Earth, Assiah. If you don't have a good laugh today, you are missing the point. There is a whole division of the Angelic Hierarchy assigned to the sephiroth Chesed (Jupiter) whose purpose is divine inspiration through laughter. And there is no vision more critical in the career of the adept than the Metaversal Joke. Everyone laughed when I sent my dog Zola the Canine Academy Of Design, but they won't be laughing today when she continues to shit all over their lawn. The Moon in Pisces today pulls us between the heights and the depths, creating a kite pattern that shows us how to make the most of the new possibilities emerging now. Its void period commences at 11:26 pm (2:26 am May 23 ET) and lasting overnight. Mercury enters its Retrograde Shadow this evening at 24°23' Gemini. A little extra attention to detail right now will bring benefits later.

Friday May 23

The Day of Venus in Earthweek. If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked
farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. In the Western Mystery Tradition, the most pervasive polyamorous archetype is Aphrodite, Greek goddess of Love and Beauty. She is Venus, Ishtar, Astarte, Inanna and relates to the sephera Netzach on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. While she had more lovers than any other Greek goddess she was not victimized and never suffered from her numerous love affairs as did many of the other goddesses. Neither was she jealous or possessive. Unlike her counter parts she was allowed freely to choose both her husband and many lovers. She inspired poetry, communication and art as well as love. Her liaison with Hermes produced the bisexual Hermaphroditus. and her long time union with Mars (God of War) produced a daughter, Harmonia. Thus Love and War combined to give rise to Harmony. The bong leech is a dreaded pest to the cannabis smokers of Long Beach. May I sew you to another sheet? At 9:01 am, the Moon goes into Aries (12:01 pm ET), giving us a final reflection of what we’re learning from the past month’s events as it connects with the Sun. The instinct to act finds an opening to do so.

Saturday May 24

It is a day for stumbling across lawns with a pitchfork in your back. Nevertheless, you may wish to take advantage of a claustrophilic Scorpio colleague’s invitation to lunch. Avoid decorative rugs at all costs, if you know what’s good for you. Jupiter makes its third of three trines to Saturn, bringing to fruition the bounty that has been building in our lives for
the past 14 years. This gives us a chance to resolve some of the issues we’ve been dealing with over that time, as we’ve been learning how to live in a post-modern, more responsible, cyber-focused world culture. Although today’s events may not be the most significant, Jupiter-Saturn has been underpinning our overall support in quiet ways that may slip into our reality almost unnoticed. The Moon in Aries tiptoes through the Cardinal tulips across the day to lend courage to the steps we take now. I hope this isn't an ackward time to mention that the structural basis for all Light-specific work in the Metaverse is regular, disciplined connection to the No-Form, meditation, contemplation, what ever you want to call it, as long as it's deep. Supremely solitary in that heath of scrub. The Light-Specific state initiates itself with SOLITUDE, the gratifying element of being alone (if only for 20 minutes a day)...without which, true development is impossible. The point is to connect to your inner source of stability, the state of potentia, the No-Form, at least once a day. No-Form is not a goal or state of "spiritual arrival" (as some religions would have us believe), it is a highly practical, multi-purpose tool for dissolving our identification with the ego. If you want to play with us, this is the only rule. The foundation of our Lightcraft is built in Chaos, so you must maintain a firm foundation, or Chaos your life will be. Some of us need this connection four times a day (sunrise, true noon, sunset, true midnight). Some of us actually manage to do it four times a day. It is a choice you must make. I would do it for you if I could. Once a day is all that's required to maintain the Continuity function. Future generations of yourself will be glad this came to pass. The Lightcraft Academy , Yoga Ceremonial Magick, this astrology forecast, they all provide ritual technology for Self initiation. But the key word here is Self. D.I.Y

Sunday May 25

We could be tempted to take a last look backward today as Mercury trines and Venus opposes the North Node. This is about relationship choices and commitments. The Moon enters its void period at 8:58 am, but the doorway to loving communication is left open. The Moon goes into Taurus at 2:28 pm, and we see where we were one lunar month ago with fresh eyes, in preparation for the new cycle, which starts on Wednesday. This is the Balsamic, Wishing Moon, when the thoughts and images we project into the lunar chalice seed the coming month. A single injection makes subjects nail goldfish to doorjambs, a second makes them cranky and a third stimulates the appetite to such an extent you’d better knock their heads together quick as a flash. ‘Johannes’, you might snort, ‘you just say the first thing that comes into your head, don’t you.’

Metaversal Astral Terrain Forecasts for May 15th, 16th, and 17th

Thursday May 15

The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Air. Projecting Light Specific Blue and facing West, vibrate this azure deluxe into your Second Chakra along with the mantrum: EE-BE-DA. Jupiter is all about allowing ambiguity, contradiction, and movement. It isn't about integration. It helps the ego become more flexible. By Jove, life isn't about staying calm and balanced, but rather about keeping complexity and drama and everything else alive and in dynamic flow. Mercury sextiles Venus as it conjoins Uranus. What could not find expression since March 28 last year is now released in harmonious words and contributes to the foundation of healing and trust we are building. The Moon in Sagittarius sets the tone for the day. Sagittarius represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between Conception and 7 weeks, the first Lunar month after the sperm reaches the egg, and is a compacted pattern at a molecular time scale of the entire life of the cellular body. The embryo develops in parallel with the earlier phases of evolution, retaining memory of these structures in the brain. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Metaversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Sagittarius represents Initiation beyond the realms of Death (Scorpio). On the World scale, Sag occupies the period between AD 1500 and AD 1750, The Renaissance. This was the time when astrology, mathematics, musick and geometry were understood as divine techniques for communicating with the Soul of the World. With the Moon in Sagittarius we are into philosophical speculation, adventure, and foreign influences, and actions that expand the awareness through gathering unfamiliar experiences.

Friday May 16

If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one. wellThe 5 roses represent the five senses in the Empress card (Atu 3) And in the Lovers card (Atu 6 ) the senses are the five fruits of Eve. Venus is indeed in cahoots with the senses. All movement of all living creatures in world of Assiah are tied to the senses and the desire-nature. The accomplished Lightpilot can remove the robe of desire in order to withdraw into the worlds of Briah and Atzitluth, but in order to achieve anything in the physical realms you keep that robe on. When you act, your gonna act in terms of desire.Venus represents that which is desirable. Every living thing seeks pleasure and tries to avoid pain. Victory lies in understanding our desire nature and learning how to use it. The Moon finishes its active time in Sagittarius on a high note at 0:43 am (3:43 am ET). Even though it does not enter Capricorn until early tomorrow, we can use this void Moon actively throughout the day. At 11:00 p.m. this evening come groove to the sounds of Zola Trinket and her Molten Templar Brisket Babies at Metaversal

Saturday May 17

The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Air, Yetzirah. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum. "Because your mine, I walk the line". With it being Waterweek, honor Saturn today by creating greater stability in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your base Chakra. Our consciousness in this chakra is concerned with survival, with our fight or flight response, with our instincts. It links the individual with the physical world. Serves as the foundation to evolve and build personality. If we are to ignore this chakra, and concern ourselves with the higher levels, we will be growing without roots, we will be unstable, unable to withstand the trials that will come our way. If our survival needs are met, the Base Chakra will function healthily, but if there is a perceived threat to this, (such as a difficult house move, job change, health problems, etc.) it can create an imbalance. Other Saturnian imbalances can show themselves in various ways, from sleeplessness and the inability to relax, to obsession with money, possessions or health. The Mayan EndTimes, the Hopi Fifth World, the Turning of the Ages, Timewave Zero, the Ascension, and the Great Awakening. These prophecies signal that humanity is in the process of making a dimensional shift, from the limited perception of duality to a collective awareness of our inherent divinity and interconnectedness. Lightcraft seems paradoxical in that the main body of its information was given to our present selves by our future Self in order to load the dice in favor of its own manifestation. One of the reasons this happened is that we are on our own for the present. The benign influences of the older races have been suspended for this coming-of-age Initiation ordeal that we are experiencing. We are allowed to talk to ourself, however. Time’s arrow only applies to the physical Metaverse. Once an event has happened in this sphere, it’s frozen into the Order of Mainstream Reality and cannot “unhappen”. Information can be exchanged on levels other than the physical, and isn’t limited by Time’s arrow. Our future conscious Self is aware of its tentative nature from our present. By giving its ancestors certain ideas and techniques, the Metaverse insures its own manifestation(s). This is possible only because the Metaversal mutation can be activated in any individual by that individual. The hardware and the program are in place for Metaversal consciousness to appear.We get in touch with what still needs healing when Mercury squares Chiron today. At 1:12 am (4:12 am ET), the Moon moves into Capricorn, bringing to the surface those stray fragments of conflict that remain unresolved as a result of the past six months’ effort. We can let them go now—no need to hold on. At 11:00 p.m. this evening come groove to the sounds of The Sallyang at Metaversal Lightcraft

Metaversal Waterweek Forecasts and the Light Specific Yoga Platform that accompanies them.....

THURSDAY MAY 8

The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Water. Projecting Light Specific Blue and facing West, vibrate this azure deluxe into your Second Chakra along with the mantrum: EE-BE-DA. Jupiter is all about allowing ambiguity, contradiction, and movement. It isn't about integration. It helps the ego become more flexible. By Jove, life isn't about staying calm and balanced, but rather about keeping complexity and drama and everything else alive and in dynamic flow. The emphasis is on making sense of pretzel logic as our Virgo Moon squares Mercury and opposes Neptune over the day. We have access to a broader perspective right now that allows insights and solutions to surface, but we have to work at it.

FRIDAY MAY 9

The Day of Venus in Waterweek. If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. In the Western Mystery Tradition, the most pervasive polyamorous archetype is Aphrodite, Greek goddess of Love and Beauty. She is Venus, Ishtar, Astarte, Inanna and relates to the sephera Netzach on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. While she had more lovers than any other Greek goddess she was not victimized and never suffered from her numerous love affairs as did many of the other goddesses. Neither was she jealous or possessive. Unlike her counter parts she was allowed freely to choose both her husband and many lovers. She inspired poetry, communication and art as well as love. Her liaison with Hermes produced the bisexual Hermaphroditus. and her long time union with Mars (God of War) produced a daughter, Harmonia. Thus Love and War combined to give rise to Harmony. After yesterday’s mental gymnastics, we can pour our
new understanding into productivity, as the Moon in Virgo cascades through a series of harmonious connections. Her final contact in the sign fixes our focus on results and bodes well for completions as she goes void on a trine to Saturn at 3:08 pm.

SATURDAY MAY 10

The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Water, Briah. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum. "Because your mine, I walk the line". With it being Waterweek, honor Saturn today by creating greater stability in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your base Chakra. Our consciousness in this chakra is concerned with survival, with our fight or flight response, with our instincts. It links the individual with the physical world. Serves as the foundation to evolve and build personality. If we are to ignore this chakra, and concern ourselves with the higher levels, we will be growing without roots, we will be unstable, unable to withstand the trials that will come our way. If our survival needs are met, the Base Chakra will function healthily, but if there is a perceived threat to this, (such as a difficult house move, job change, health problems, etc.) it can create an imbalance. Other Saturnian imbalances can show themselves in various ways, from sleeplessness
and the inability to relax, to obsession with money, possessions or health. There are three significant events taking us deeper than usual this weekend, the first
of which comes today. Still, we have the luxury of a late lazy morning since the Moon doesn’t wake us up until her entry into Libra at 10:19 am (1:19 pm ET). We may need that extra shut-eye, since the Sun’s opposition to Saturn is exact now at 20°01 Taurus/Scorpio. This is the Full moment of illumination related to Saturn’s yearly cycle of restructuring, which began November 6 last year. How far have you
come since then? What remains to be completed? Inspiration comes easily as the Moon glides into a trine to Mercury over the day.
