New Moon Wednesday and the next day (Thursday)


WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 8
The New Moon (15 Virgo 41) is exact at 3:30 am. This Union of Sun and Moon in Virgo can be a springboard for developing new skills or taking a major step toward refining existing technical abilities, especially anything to do with working with your hands. Virgo represents the period from 13 to 23 years old, when mental growth dominates our lives and many attend institutes of higher learning. Many binding choices are made and the rules and details of society are learned. On the World scale Virgo is between 800 BC and AD 400, when classical civilizations like Greece and Rome flourished, when culture, science, philosophy, politics dominated. By AD 300the Books of the New Testament were chosen to support the beliefs of the Christians who formed the political organization of the Church. The naive excepted the surface value, while initiates were forced to hide (occult) their rituals and teachings. Until now. Even above Earth, there are secrets at the heart of Nature that'd make you laugh till you stopped." How can you believe in astrology?," angry, drunken Basque separatists have asked me. I tell them that astrology is not a belief system, but an archetypal, poetic language. I don't ask you if you believe in Japanese. I ask if you speak it. I don't ask you if you believe in music, I ask if you play it. I happen to speak the heavenly tongue of astrology along with thousands of other highly intelligent, inspiring, spiritual and even scientific astrologers. If I never have to deal with angry, drunken Basque separatists who have stolen the Shroud Of Turin again, it'll be too soon. Still, if my destiny is to be an untransformed seed-cum-manure of a man - or to put it another way - if I can at least be the source of unconscious friction that triggers another Christ or Buddha's urgency to awaken, then so be it. Fertilize my ego! Venus moves into Scorpio at 2:53 am. Performing a kind of "cosmic physics" in a soft laboratory of enmeshed muscle and mind. Yummy. Retrograde Jupiter moves into Pisces at 9:49 pm.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 9
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Fire,Atziluth. 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. Did you here the one about the astrologer who broke his arm and attributed it to an accident? The waxing Moon passes 7.2 degrees S.S.W. of Saturn (5 Libra) at 10:09 am. and Mars (26 Libra 46) trines Neptune (26 Aquarius 46) As an exercise today, cut the heads off three BP executives (for those living in the interior, Halliburton executives will do) and place their Gullivers in the glove compartment of a stalled and abandoned car. If they don't fit, keep trying. Another way of distracting your Metaversal Mind is to push zucchini through the mail slots of new neighbors while dressed as a bumblebee and singing the lyrics to "This Corrosion". Fringe benefit of this experimental behaviour: you'll be the secret envy of anyone who ever professed to know what you were going to do next.
