Monday February 13
Moon continues through Scorpio, drawing images from the deep overnight—more solutions are in our unconscious mind waiting to surface. However, the day is all about Mercury, as it trines Saturn, enters Pisces at 5:38 pm, and conjoins Neptune at bedtime. It’s a good time to go with the flow and allow your mind to follow, not to do precise mental gymnastics unless you like a challenge.

Today at 4°32' Taurus-Pisces/5:40 pm PT Jupiter makes its third of three sextiles to Chiron. In a blaze of chocolate the wood nymph hurtles through the office tower, exciting tensions and defoliating zeitgeists. This creates the opportunity for healing, but we have to activate it ourselves with our consciousness. The Moon goes void of course at 9:04 am/25°24' Scorpio when it makes its Last Quarter square to the Sun. This of course starts off What we call Earthweek. This lunation carries the beneficial energy of Jupiter-Chiron, which has been building since the beginning of the lunar month on January 22-23. This is an especially “easy” lunar peak, since all the stresses seem to be past us for the moment, with others as yet unrevealed. At 4:56 pm, the Moon enters Sagittarius to reconnect Mercury and Neptune.
In the US, the emphasis is on the bond between President Obama and the working people, including unionized workers, domestic law enforcement, and all wage-earners, which may not be as strong as expected when it comes to certain platform and policy issues. Congress is headed the wrong way on the economy, but the Senate rides it out.
The Sabian Symbol of the Last Quarter Moon at 26 Scorpio is “A group of American Indians are making camp; as if by magic the tepees are erected and home comfort established.” (ME Jones version) This brings the image of tent cities that have been springing up around the country, both in protest and among those who have lost their homes. A community of kindred spirits develops among those who share a home and survive together.

Better to strike while still asleep, in order to maintain an alibi. A cherubic barking up the wall loosens the paint enough that we can read the inscriptions underneath; however, we have discovered to our surprise and delight that we would rather just eat the paint as it peels away like the skin of a blank but meaning-filled chrysalis, the unscripted flesh of the years... While out on the horizon an orange efflorescence continues to bloom and storm and calm the sway, grating on our invidious discomfiture like an under-cooked malady greeping with slime. I can’t help but be enchanted by its malevolent charms. Although it is most noticeable today, since the 9th Venus has been leading us into the depths of the Underworld to learn what is hidden in the dark where our relationships are concerned. There goes another crocodile. It’s behind the stove. It will never know the joys of getting a driver’s license or seeing its grandchildren walk the plank. The Moon in Sagittarius helps when it harmonizes with Venus. We can burn off old ideas and feelings quite easily as they arise over the day..

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.
Mercury reaches Chiron to highlight our ability to understand what ails us. Before we can heal it, we have to see the wounded thoughts we’ve accepted as normal. Just don’t get stuck there; let it all go! It’s a great day for seeking forgiveness and clearing up misunderstandings. Mercury also harmonizes with Jupiter amid a set of flowing lunar contacts. At 8:03 pm PT, Moon goes void of course in Sagittarius. This period ends with her ingress into Capricorn at 9:03 pm and the day ends on a meditative note, as Moon ties in to Neptune. Are you prepared to succumb to minutiae? Or are you just bestride the geyser, dopily entranced? In either case we must ask you to return to your assigned position. The show has already started.

The Day of Venus in Assiah, the World of Earth. The stones attributed to Venus are Emeralds and Malachite and her metal is Copper It’s all about our feelings today, as the Moon activates many planets in early degrees. The theme is the ongoing deep process of change that we are all engaged in—how we’re going to make sense of it in our life, and our thought processes curve toward optimism. If you’ve elected to forego swallowing the gravity pill, you can take part in the holographic cherub hunt – but mind you don’t bruise your fellow prisoners! At this point a viscous orange liquid (it doesn’t stain) will likely be pumped into the atmoshpere, pint by pint, until it’s all gone. Take as many pictures as you like. Feel free to speak candidly to those in hibernation – it won’t disturb them. Try out the suction pads! And if you’re going to be sick or have to tinkle ... well, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. This evening, you lucky Lightpilots, is the Iao Core: “Singularity” (event) What is most important to the Core is your presence. The legendary IAO Core, purveyors of epic noise rock delicacies, perform live in the Grand Ballroom of the historic Lake Merritt Lodge in Oakland, to promote their 23rd album,"(the) singularity". The "songs", newly formed in atom smashers, are like albino dachshunds charging out from the catacombs into the brilliant embrace of the sky which stands for a moment on a guitar string, strung out on the background of something very continuous. ("String theory" need not be altogether esoteric.) You can have the whole enchilada. It awaits you in beckoning repose. As well as download, three physical formats of the album will be available. Alongside the standard CD release, there will be a limited double pack CD including a recording of the acoustic set from January's "(the) singularity (event)". A real treat is in store for all the vinyl junkies out there as "(the) singularity" will also be released on a limited edition vinyl LP. More details will follow soon including an interview with Johannes about the album...All due respect to the following "singularity" incarnations: The Magus (Johannes Ayres); The Reaper (Luke Skeels); Emperor Agni (Corey Christopher); Mistress Fortune (Rimi Ghose); The Jesters (Seofon and Travis T. Cortez); and The Sonne (Kris Force). This ritual is brought to you by IAO Core. You needn’t dress in any but the most perfunctory manner nor bring any crickets (there will be plenty of those!) and I myself will be wearing but a thin military camisole from the pelvic region upwards and may be toting a gecko or two. This event is free of charge before 9:00 and 5 dollars after and will take place from 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Historic Merritt Lodge, 2332 Harrison in Oakland, California, which may or may not be the arsehole of the universe, but one thing is certain: Art of this almost other-worldly nature could not be created within the confines of the civilized world. It is Art that pleads a kind of lost divine madness a its guiding inspiration. the center will make itself known to those who will be a part of it there and who will find their way there and those who are to be a part of it in another location will also respond to the gravitational pull of Love in evolution, embracing the death of the false, for the endless perpetuation of the real, via the mysterious process of change, which is the dance performed by that which is immortal in us …and is the perceptible part of the divine in demonstration of it. In any case, help is on the way. Endure and believe, because, whatever happens is supposed to happen, because evil is in the process of destroying itself; however they do it, let them do it. Get out of their way. Believe me…. They will be running for the fire doors. Step aside. You know what? Don’t listen to me. You can do as you like. Do something. Don’t do something. Enjoy listening to the new Iao Core album. “Singularity“. The ball is either in your court or the dealer wants to know if you would like a card. I can’t make that decision for you but based on what I have experienced, read about, dreamed …and… that inexplicable thing. I think you are going to be okay if you are and if you are not; then there’s still time because you are reading this.
Saturday February 18
The Day of Saturn, the Holder of the Secrets of Time, in Assiah, the World of Earth. The stones attributed to Saturn are Hematite and Onyx and her metal is Lead. Meet with other souls today, 'in the flesh,' including non-human beings (animals, plants). The Tarot card attributed to Saturn in Assiah is the Three of Disks (Material Success), making this a good day for money magick. Saturn in Assiah literally completes the braid which not only holds Assiah together, but creates the possibility for the proper information context for the evolution of human nervous systems, which are fortunate enough to be able to embed themselves in the "fields" of the Metaverse..The Moon entered Capricorn just before sunset yesterday. Capricorn represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between 7 weeks until 12 weeks after Conception, when the embryo becomes a fetus, and the sex and physical appearance are determined. The body takes form through it's skeletal system. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Metaversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Capricorn represents the integration and structuring of the higher perceptions of the Self in the World on a practical level. On the World scale, Capricorn occupies the period between AD 1750 and AD 1840. This was the time when the ideology of Sagittarius was translated into material form. Humanity evinced a superiority over the forces of nature, and the Industrial revolution began. Romanticism surrounded the likes of Shelly, Goethe, Byron, and Chopin, reacting to the cold prevailing mechanistic World view. Rudolph Steiner said that the human being is created, and destined to be, a self-defining creature. Are we slightly higher than monkeys or slightly lower than angels? Good old fashion hard work yields the answer. Monkeys and Angels are set to grind corn with the Moon in Capricorn. Tackle those long term projects and remember, the Mountain must be tackled one step at a time. It’s all harmonies all day, with trines and sextiles all day. Moon in Capricorn harmonizes with Mars retrograde to help us complete the tasks we’ve taken on in recent weeks. Sun trines Saturn to bring helpful insights about the structures we’ll be building for the next five months. Mercury sextiles Pluto to bring understanding and objectivity to the secrets that have been revealed to us. At 10:18 pm the Sun makes its way into Pisces to soften the energy in preparation for the next seasonal change. It's not necessary to write this down -it will happen to you again, in the same way] shaggy muzzle of a perfunctory dispatch nuzzles your crotch and growls at the same time.
