Tuesday October 25
The final (Mars) day of Earthweek and your muscles need attention, don’t they? Stretch ‘em, massage ‘em, work ‘em baby! One’s Will has lot in common with muscle tissue. Like a muscle, The Will becomes stronger the more one work’s it. As an exercise today, find something that you regularly do, yet automatically, and don’t do it with the intent of giving one’s Will a workout, working one’s waning Moon in Libra makes a fly-by to Mars and Saturn, enhancing our productivity and efficiency in fulfilling our agreements and responsibilities to others in balance with our commitment to our self.

Since August 22nd we’ve been a bit haunted by an injustice that we noticed at that time. Now it begins to work itself out, as Mars sextiles Saturn. While it might not be completely resolved until next spring, we can take steps now to bring greater harmony to the situation. The Moon goes void of course at 5:19 am in Libra, entering Scorpio at 8:08 am, leading straight into the New Moon at 3°03' Scorpio/12:56 pm.
With a close-applying square of Venus to Mars, this carries the seeds of discontent with our relationship life and affords us the opportunity to do something about it—but over the coming month, not all today. The Moon anticipates the Sun’s opposition to Jupiter on Friday (the 28th) and gives us a glimpse of that future illumination. All this adds up to a fertile field for furtherance of our goals over the coming month, where clearing hidden issues is emphasized. Scorpio represents the period from 42 years old to Death, when ones sense of Time compacts and passes rapidly. Since this stage is the last in the life of the human biological machine, it's now time to transcend the confines of the mortal body and to assure continued existence, either you breed (pass on your DNA) or step out of the loop (become your DNA). On the World scale, Scorpio is between AD 1100 and AD 1500, when the Dark Ages reached their peak. This is the Time of the Crusades and the Inquisition, when Pain, Bloodshed and Oppression swept over Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, after the uneasy alliances made during Libra. This is the sign of the Shadow. Successfully navigated, one can experience healthy, flowing spontaneous sexuality, an acceptance of Death and an integration of i ts reality into daily life, thus gaining a sense of the immortality of consciousness. For the US, a new policy direction is in the offing, as the Nodal axis aligns with the Midheaven axis. This will provide relief for working people, more than a simple extension of unemployment benefits. The emphasis for the coming month is on the impact of the global economy on America’s financial well-being and how to survive the meltdowns in foreign economies.
“A youth holding a lighted candle in a devotional ritual gains a sense of the great ‘Other World’” is the Sabian Symbol for 4 Scorpio, the location of the New Moon. A world of wonder is veiled just beneath the surface of life’s everyday fabric, waiting to be discovered. This can occur in any moment, the quickening of recognition of one’s own soul and the start of the spiritual journey that all of us are traveling through life. Once recognized, it ramps up our growth process; every soul incarnate today hopes for this quickening to occur as the pressures of intense transformation push us into a corner where ensoulment is the only way out.
Thursday October 27
The Day of Jupiter in Fireweek. 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 twin child, the male-female Holy Spirit of the Gnostic Mass, the living fruit of two sexual partners. The Book of Lies teaches that seed and child and parent are mystically one, and that the seed represents the innermost and highest expression of the parent. In the Star Sapphire, a ritual form of the IX, the invocation brings father, mother, son, and daughter (YHVH, above) into one point of mystic union, referred to as Ararita. This daughter-son, the living elixir, is made a sacrifice to the magical goal of the working. Note that it is not metaphorically alive, but literally alive, containing a great quantity of living cells. Thus, for the male magician, it is the sacrifice of "all that he is and all that he has" into the "Cup of Babalon", which is held by the Scarlet Woman of Babylon and in which the blood of the saints is said to be mingled. The inner incubation time is important and knowing when to intuitively act is a part of the process. Even projects already in motion may benefit from releasing attachments to specific pictures or outcomes and allowing for the possibility of even greater expression to unfold. The Moon occults (eclipses) Mercury today, mixing thought and feeling in the caldron of the unconscious that leads to a clear channel for the heart to speak to us. First though comes the confusion of the meltdown. We’ll feel prodded to make decisions about relationships in light of what we want. Letting the planets separate from their current interactions will result in wiser action. Now is a time for patience. The dormitory of friable little girls puts the odious box right. Scorpio understands that true strength lies in seeing the truth. When there is nothing to hide, we have true freedom. One 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 'What's New Pussycat'. 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.
Friday October 28
The Moon’s transit of Scorpio ends on a dreamy note as it squares Neptune at 4:49 am, opening its void period. This ends at 7:45 am, when Moon makes its way into Sagittarius. The lunar energy supports a smooth flow today but sits in the background behind much larger forces. A Mercury square to Mars brings out unresolved conflicts, but we can make a choice about whether to inflame the situation now, or wait for a calmer moment. Jupiter reaches its second of three trines to Pluto today, giving us a window on the overall process of foundation-laying in our lives. This comes as part of a triple contact, the third of the month, as Sun opposes Jupiter and sextiles Pluto to complete a triangle across the skies. This is an incredibly beneficial contact that will take six months to be fully realized.
Saturday October 29
The Moon in Sagittarius makes a Minor Grand Trine with Mars in Leo and Saturn in Libra to increase our productivity exponentially today. The key to it all is connecting with others while maintaining our independence, even though we may think we need to go it alone. 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.
Sunday October 30
This Sunday morning the Sun rises in Scorpio. It cannot be weaned prematurely or circumcised without sedation lest it become traumatized and even more crestfallen. Scorpio is the mid-fall sign (mid-spring in Sydney) that concentrates and intensifies emotions. It is the consummation phase of relationships that follows airy Libra with the fusion of fixed water that joins two together more deeply or squeezes the life out of their union. It can dream with sophistication. It can mimic car horns. It cannot live without wood. We measure resources and people as if there are not enough of either to go around, provoking jealousy or sharpening assessments of what and who we truly desire. Control can become a critical issue, yet when we trust others there can be a sublime merger of body, mind and soul that surpasses the limits of what one person can do alone. It cannot be dragged on carpet more than a few feet at a time. Our dreams will inspire us, even if we don’t remember them, as Moon sextiles Neptune as it goes void of course at 6:31 am. This invites us to make it a lazy morning, until Moon enters Capricorn at 9:30 am. The energy heats up then takes us deep as the Moon connects with Uranus and Pluto. A sextile to Chiron and trine to Jupiter soothe us through with a Minor Grand Trine. The day ends on a softer note as the Moon makes its closing sextile to the Sun at bedtime.
