If Mars does not have new paths to blaze, it can easily retreat to a position of
vulnerability and insecurity. Overt aggression may not result, but grumpy behavior
and moodiness are possible. One can easily play the victim, if that's a familiar pattern. Nations and other organizations may circle their wagons against their perceived attackers. However, creation of circles of careful initiative that blend the best of the old and the new can be highly successful at this time. Is your Martian energy burning like a fuel tank on a crashed jumbo jet in the Algerian desert? Or burning like a sputtering flame on a wet candle? Or burning steady like a presto-log in the hearth of the Almighty? It all depends on the quality of your fuel, and the proper fuel/air ratio. When your body (93 percent seawater) is nourished by fiery insight, MA'AT has been achieved. Then your fire is not frightening and lethal, but glowing with placid contentment. Plan to have some fun in the first part of the day, and schedule key tasks for later. Moon in playful Leo goes VOC on an early trine to Uranus, the wild-and-free.
Spend the morning with children or pampering the child within. At 2:43 pm (5:43 ET), Moon enters Virgo and moves into a trine with Mars, freshly into Capricorn, sign of building. We can make great tangible progress on projects begun before August 10. Wherever you find yourself on the Holy Mountain, be it the Summit or at the Base, Make a Temple of Joy, here and now. Decorate as you see fit. Address every cat you see today with the greeting ‘Good afternoon, Mr. Ravenscrofte’, even if the cat is female, and even if it isn’t the afternoon. Doff your hat if you’re wearing one; click your heels if you’re not.

The Day of Mercury in the kabbalistic World of Earth, Assiah. Visualize your self wearing sneakers with wings as you read this. Mercury's function is to think. To know. To reason. There is no foot race to win here. Language is his playground.
The Akasic Library is his home. And oh yes, Hermes is a Love god. He likes the sound of his own voice. Write a poem, a sonnet, or some erotica today. The planet of communication, short trips and details, appeared to stop dead in its tracks on August 15th. The planet then turned backwards in its apparent path through the zodiac. It stopped again on September 23rd, then turned to resume its direct motion. Mercury turns retrograde three times a year, spending a bit more than three weeks in "reverse" gear each time. The retrograde cycle is due to the fact that we are viewing the planets from a moving platform, the Earth. The planets, in fact, do not actually change direction, but appear to do so from our perspective. This geocentric, or earth-centered, point of view is the basis for astrological measurements. In a sense, what you see is what you get. A retrograde planet is generally considered more introverted than when it's in the normal direct motion mode. Astrologers have traditionally considered Mercury retrograde to be a time of difficulty in Mercury related endeavors like communication, travel and matters of detail. Some counsel the avoidance of launching new projects or signing contracts at this time. Glitches are considered more commonplace now, as are misunderstood or poorly delivered messages. There are, fortunately, more optimistic views of what Mercury retrograde means. Rather than hunkering down in your bunker, this is a positive time to tie up loose ends, reconnect with people from the past, make mechanical repairs and get systems in order. This can also be a productive period for psychological review as new information can be gleaned from old experiences.
For I say unto you: it would be easier for a rubythroated hummingbird to unscrew the lid of a ketchup bottle than it would be to avoid Mercurial Retrograde confusion.Moon in Virgo opposes Neptune and later squares Saturn, triggering the energy of the square between these two that happened on September 10.
Today’s numerology of 1 accents the leadership abilities of Virgo, the sign of problem-solving. It’s a great time to double-check your visualization, plans and follow-up related to goals from before August 10 or earlier this year. The balsamic phase favors tying up loose ends, finishing, and uncluttering.
Don’t try to force yourself or others. Important actions are more promising tonight, when Moon trines the-buck-stops-here Pluto.

The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Earth, Yetzirah. 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? At 4:44 in the morning: you won't see a cop or a raccoon; you can pee in full phantasmagoria under the stars in the night with the wind high and salty and the dome of the sky in full splay sprayed and contusioned upon the black upon the twisted wicked love of the cypress in decline. Someday I'd like to stop three feet from the top of Everest. "Fuck it, I'm not going a single inch further." I'd say and turn around.
This is an important feast day called Michaelmas. Michael is the prince of archangels and a strong force among spiritual warriors. After Fall Equinox, the earth begins to enter her phase of rest, decomposition and regeneration. It is a powerful time, when the veils between dimensions begin to fade. Michael is the keeper of the doorway, and insures that only desirable influences move through this portal. In pagan societies this doorway had direct economic implications. The work of the harvest was complete, people were expected to pay their debts, and more generous creditors might forgive them or even share food—traditional fare including a goose and apples—with the less fortunate. Farm workers would be pressed to find a new way to earn a living. And no doubt the angels and other positive spiritual forces were called to go through this sort of portal as well.
Healing our relationship to change is a good way to apply today’s VOC Moon in Virgo, and its minor connections to Chiron, the wounded healer, and Uranus, planet of innovation. If possible, take the day off, or at least postpone key actions and purchases and provoke a pause to connect with light beings.
Fireweek/The Libra Lunar Cycle 2016
The seed/ideas we have from the New Moon to the First Quarter Moon come from the kabbalistic world of Atziluth (Fire) and are the blueprints/seeds for everything that exists, has existed, and will ever exist in the physical world of Assiah (Earth), as an embodiment of the archetypal idealized apple (or a least the Core).. Fireweek is the time to remember we're in the pilots seat of our own personal Lightcraft and make some course corrections if we've veered off course…Pythagoras founded a philosophical and religious school in Croton and was the head of the society with an inner circle of followers known as mathematikoi. The mathematikoi lived permanently with the Society, had no personal possessions and were vegetarians. They were taught by Pythagoras himself and obeyed strict Aquarian rules. The beliefs that Pythagoras held were
(1) that at its deepest level, reality is mathematical in nature,
(2) that philosophy can be used for spiritual purification,
(3) that the soul can rise to union with the divine,
(4) that certain symbols have a mystical significance, and
(5) that all brothers and sisters of the order should observe strict loyalty and secrecy. Pythagoras noticed that vibrating strings produce harmonious tones when the ratios of the lengths of the strings are whole numbers, and that these ratios could be extended to other instruments. In fact Pythagoras made remarkable contributions to the mathematical theory of music. He was a master musician, playing the lyre, and he used music as a means to help those who were ill. Well you can turn me to salt, dye me blue, and let the cows lick me into the homunculus of remorse, whence I will go about the countryside ejaculating Pythagoras' name through kitchen windows. And the people will say, 'Look out, it's him again.' And, typically, there will be those among them who will say, 'Let's kick him to death.' And still others will countermand them, saying, 'No - let's just maim him and send him on his way.' Citizens and townsfolk, can you not see the sign around my neck? LOCK UP YOUR DOUBTERS: SHE IS RISEN, LIKE THE WOBBLY ROD OF MAN AS IT DOWSETH THE FLUIDIFEROUS CHALICE OF THE EMPERESS!

The Day of Venus starts Fireweek. If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. In the Western Mystery Tradition, the most pervasive polyamorous archetype is Aphrodite, Greek goddess of Love and Beauty. She is Venus, Ishtar, Astarte, Inanna and relates to the sephera Netzach on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. While she had more lovers than any other Greek goddess she was not victimized and never suffered from her numerous love affairs as did many of the other goddesses. Neither was she jealous or possessive. Unlike her counter parts she was allowed freely to choose both her husband and many lovers. She inspired poetry, communication and art as well as love. Her liaison with Hermes produced the bisexual Hermaphroditus. and her long time union with Mars (God of War) produced a daughter, Harmonia. Thus Love and War combined to give rise to Harmony. A New Moon in Libra opens a door for relational goals. It’s the last New Moon of the year during Mercury retrograde, so it’s great for reworking our connections and ways of interacting in the light of intentions and commitments that we were working on before August 10.
A conjunction to Jupiter opens a door to the planet of fortune, who will be blessing our relationships and the area of our lives ruled by the sign-of-scales for the next 12 months. The Sabian symbol for 9 Libra is:
THREE OLD MASTERS HANG ALONE IN AN ART GALLERY. Efficient cohesion of the three souls of man; of mind, feeling and instinct. Integrated wisdom. Sagacious behavior.
Although Rudhyar’s version mentions “man”, the symbol has a curious resonance to the triple goddess, whose face as transformer relates to the present season. Every human is born with a third-dimensional body and a fourth-dimensional Lightcraft. The physical body is the biological conductor. The Lightctraft is the time transport unit. The body and its Lightcraft are inseparable. The biological conductor sustains the sensory nervous system, the human instrument for processing the full range of experience. The experience of the body is synchronized within the Metaversal Lightcraft. The Lightcraft is the physical body's coded experience in time. The body in time with its Lightcraft is art. Lack of respect for life arises directly from not understanding the true electrical alchemic principles of time compression at the end of solar ages- alchemizes the heart - is because the charge densities which accompany the solar maxima (2000- 2012 - climax of the Mayan / Solar calendar) formerly called RAPTURE by Christians - permit only those biological structures ABLE to non-destructively (and ALCHEMICALLY) compress / implode - to survive. the structural basis for all Light-specific work in the Metaverse is regular, disciplined connection to the No-Form, meditation, contemplation, what ever you want to call it, as long as it's deep. Supremely solitary in that heath of scrub. The Light-Specific state initiates itself with SOLITUDE, the gratifying element of being alone (if only for 20 minutes a day)... without which, true development is impossible. The point is to connect to your inner source of stability, the state of potentia, the No-Form, at least once a day. No-Form is not a goal or state of "spiritual arrival" (as some religions would have us believe), it is a highly practical, multi-purpose tool for dissolving our identification with the ego. If you want to play with us, this is the only rule. The foundation of our Lightcraft is built in Chaos, so you must maintain a firm foundation, or Chaos your life will be. Some of us need this connection four times a day (sunrise, true noon, sunset, true midnight). Some of us actually manage to do it four times a day. It is a choice you must make. I would do it for you if I could. Once a day is all that's required to maintain the Continuity function. Future generations of yourself will be glad this came to pass. The Lightcraft Academy, Yoga Ceremonial Magick, this astrology forecast, they all provide ritual technology for Self initiation. But the key word here
