Metaversal Daily Forecasts for February 26, 27, 28

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 26

The Day of Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, in the World/Week of Earth. The stones attributed to Mercury are Opals and his metal is of course, Quicksilver. The Moon enters its void period following a contact with Mars at 2:51 am (5:51 am ET), our last chance to assess the emotional landscape prior to Mars’ station in four days. Although we may feel anxiety over what hasn’t happened yet, this is not a time to rush things. At 6:55 am, our tension is reduced when Moon enters Aquarius and makes more soothing connections. A creative sextile to Uranus finishes the day on an uplifting note.

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 27

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 actis 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 carries on in Aquarius, reconnecting us with the logic that we worked out over the past month as it comes to the degree of Mercury, now at its station direct. We’ll be able to get a clear (and perhaps sobering)
view of the work that remains to be done.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28

Several significant events are reserved for the final day of the month: Mercury returns to forward motion (Stationary Direct) at 6:00 am/18°10′ Aquarius (9:00 am ET).
The Sun trines Jupiter, signaling that we are about to emerge from Jupiter’s retrograde. The New Moon at 11:59 pm PT/10°39′ Pisces collects and carries all this energy, to be dispersed in the coming month. Add to this Mars’s station retrograde tomorrow (8:24 am/27°32′ Libra) and Jupiter’s station direct on March 6, and we are at the Great Standstill. We can capitalize on this pause to engage in maintenance so that the machine is well-oiled and runs smoothly when it comes back to life. The New Moon packs a punch, as it gives us elbow room to focus on what needs healing inside us. If we were to proceed forward at this time, our vision would be distorted, affecting our actions and dimming our outcomes. It is worth the effort to work through what remains of old useless energies and misunderstandings that still hurt. The last of three Venus-Mars squares reaches us tomorrow, a powerful seed in this New Moon that carries the potential for declarations of love based on truth soul connection. The Sun’s imminent conjunction with Chiron shows us where the healing must begin for our new life to blossom in its fullest form. Tears release and carry the power of healing through Pisces. The deeper we feel, the deeper we heal. In the chart cast for the US, the New Moon takes place on March 1 at 2:59 am. With Mars at its station on the Midheaven, once again the spotlight is on the President and his ability to negotiate without giving away the farm to those who are playing a different game, one of dominance and control. Will he hold firm as many thorny problems are brought forward that must be dealt with in the coming few months of Mars’s retrograde? The Sabian Symbol for both Sun and Moon at the New Moon is “men traveling a narrow path, seeking illumination” (11 Pisces). As long as we keep in mind that what we seek is the light, we can keep our priorities straight when others’ egos are buffeting us to and fro. While Mars is retrograde in Libra, some people won’t know how to do other than pick a fight. Let’s try to see through to the fear that deludes us into thinking there is no other way, as we (attempt to) master conflict resolution without violence as individuals and as a species.
