Tuesday October 8
The Day of Mars in Fireweek and Mars blazes through Leo. Mars, the action planet, is rather comfortable in fiery Leo. The nature of Mars is to initiate, take risks and lead. These qualities are supported by Leo's role as a take-charge personality. This period, then, is one in which there is support for those who have the courage to let their hearts lead the way. A possible challenge at this time is that impulsive young Mars energy may take itself too seriously, posing as a mature Leo leader who has earned the throne. It's as if the prince acts like he's the king. Leo's royal confidence grows from experience that Mars often often lacks. Without the seasoning wisdom of time,
he can come across as arrogant, or all sizzle and no steak. Even a prince has to pay his dues if he is to be a great ruler. What we came to understand in mid-September comes back for a revisitation as Mercury quincunxes Uranus. The fact that it also conjoins Saturn for the first of three times tells us that today’s insights and experiences are formative and will lead to greater harmony by late November when the third contact occurs. At 5:21 am, the Moon lifts us higher as it goes into Sagittarius. It activates the next Venus gate as Venus climbs higher in the sunset sky, nearing her retrograde. Idealism runs high now, on a separate track from our more pragmatic concerns. 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.
Open the Gaudì folds and release the thing.
Wednesday October 9
A great day to be born if you ask me. The Day of Mercury in Fireweek. The Moon catches up with the Sun to form the pre-First-Quarter creative sextile.
It’s a great time to activateour plans for the month. Operating heavy emotional machinery is ill advised as is any invocation of demons who play scrabble or fast and loose with the alphabet.
