Metaversal Astral Terrain Forecasts for January 24th to January 30th

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25
Day of Mercury in Earthweek, and the last day of Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow,
Moon in independent Capricorn makes tense contacts to Uranus and Jupiter, planets of freedom,
and harmonizes with Chiron—tapping its healing gifts—and with Venus, planet of love. We feel like working
for freedom, and our clear, independent initiatives can support our self-healing.
On this last day of Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow, pause to reflect what messages you are
sending your deep self with your current line of action, or inaction. Realign them as you take whatever
small steps you can now. If you can be up for them, the energies are even better late at night/early in the wee hours
tomorrow, thanks to a trine from Moon in grounded Cap to Mars. Our world consists of an array of infinite
possibilities and we can see the potential of beauty in the most ordinary places. However, we might run into
trouble as we remember an experience that created emotional loss and painful memories. Negativity can hold us
back while sweet Venus joins forces with wounded Chiron. Meanwhile, the methodical Capricorn Moon enables us to
manage our feelings by confronting them rather than surrendering to fear.
Independent initiatives are more satisfying than team efforts.


THURSDAY, JANUARY 26
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Earth, Asiah. 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. Everyone laughed when I sent my dog Xero to the Canine Academy Of Design, but they won't be laughing today when he continues to shit all over their lawn.
Moon is in constructive Capricorn, pushing us onward and upward. Yet the last day of the balsamic
phase draws us to rest and retreat. Balance the two by taking it slow, and consulting an oracle, dreams,
or spirit guides about how to heal, release and organize for tomorrow’s portal of beginning.


FRIDAY, JANUARY 27
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. Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one. wellThe 5 roses represent the five senses in the Empress card (Atu 3) And in the Lovers card (Atu 6 ) the senses are the five fruits of Eve. Venus is indeed in cahoots with the senses. All movement of all living creatures in world of Assiah are tied to the senses and the desire-nature. The accomplished Lightpilot can remove the robe of desire in order to withdraw into the worlds of Briah and Atzitluth, but in order to achieve anything in the physical realms you keep that robe on. When you act, your gonna act in terms of desire. Venus represents that which is desirable. Every living thing seeks pleasure and tries to avoid pain. Victory lies in understanding our desire nature and learning how to use itJust as Mercury has finally emerged from its post-retrograde shadow, the Moon becomes new in Aquarius.And Venus squares Saturn, giving us take a hard look at our attitudes toward money and relationships. Are they are aligned with what’s of lasting value? Are we adopting codependent attitudes or somehow undermining our self-respect? The benefits of this aspect include the possibility of creating a new level of discipline as we build self-esteem, tangible wealth, finished results of our creative efforts, and healthier ways of relating.It can also trigger release of worn-out relationships, excessively serious attitudes, and the yoke resulting from patriarchal systems and guilt trips.Mars is poised to exit Pisces. Since it first entered the sign of intuitive perception last December 20, the planet of action has been more sensitive to spiritual guidance. As a parting gift, in the chart for the New Moon it activates the so-called anaretic 29th degree, associated with psychic sensitivity. Before pressing forward and establishing New Moon intentions, pause to consider how your intuition has been guiding your actions for the last month, whether there are signs or sensations you need to heed, and what it tells you now.
The Sabian symbol for the lunation’s degree of 8-9 Aquarius is:
IN MEDITATION, A FLAG IS SEEN, WHICH CHANGES. PROCESS OF SPIRITUAL REALIZATION AS IT PROGRESSES FROM OUTER TO INNER
STANDARDS. Rebirth, or rebellion against drudgery.

Aquarius represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between 12 weeks to 28 weeks after Conception, when the electrick nervous system of the fetus switches on. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Meteversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Aquarius represents the higher Self projecting itself to the world tribe, through media, groups, circles of friends (your Tribe) and utopian aims and idealistic pursuits alter the prevailing social systems. On the World scale, Aquarius occupies the period between AD 1840 and 1910.
This was the time when the established dominance of the material world in Capricorn quickly required more sophisticated planning, spurred by Schopenhauer, ideas and beliefs from the east began flooding the West through such diverse channels as the Theosophical Society, the Golden Dawn, and the operas of Wagner. This was the time of Crowley, Nietzsce, and the early works of Freud. With the Moon in Aquarius we have the ability to combine East and West, Light and Dark, Sun and Moon. This is where we are compelled to reach out to others and network. 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 atmosherep, 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.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 28
Happy Chinese New Year! The Fire Rooster indicates an intense 12 months ahead that will empower our clear intentions,
reward our diligence, and charge fees for our inertia. On the portal of the New Moon in Aquarius, today’s transits favor new beginnings, as does the numerology of today’s number, 1.
Moon sextiles ruler Uranus, planet of genius and freedom, and trines expansive, prospering Jupiter.
Make people connections, knock on doors that call for serendipitous openings, connect with like-minded souls, and share your original ideas.


SUNDAY, JANUARY 29
Moon is in Aquarius this morning. If you don’t sleep in, enjoy a book or journaling this morning. At 8:10 am (11:10 ET),
Moon enters gentle Pisces. Against this soft backdrop, Mercury joins Pluto. With the planet of thinking in conjunction
with the lord of depths, hidden things can surface. Use this influence for research, transmuting mental blocks, or
anything requiring deep thought and penetrating words. Avoid stressful situations or encounters. Well, Your Name, have you come this far to spread intricate sadness with all possible combinations of dour gesticulations and complex facial contortions? Didn't think so. Is there any way the Moon entering Pisces could please you without resorting to the obvious? By the time we come to Pisces, we've been and are everything. Identities and boundaries get very fuzzy at this stage, and they're supposed to. Moon in Pisces reminds us that we are on an infinite journey, ever leaving, ever returning. Where have we been? And who are we? We are a raindrop. We are the ocean. As warm jets, we are two fishes swimming in opposite directions, symbolizes the imperative to integrate two dimensions - the finite and the infinite. Neptune, which rules Pisces, was the mythic God of the Sea; he is associated with the swells of emotion and the vast mysteries of the collective unconscious. In the modern Western world, this is largely misunderstood territory. Chickadees have been known to fornicate with badgers here, for christsakes. The moon, she is in the sign of fishes. Sobbing and laughing from the fjord to the poorhouse, The beneficial effects of the Piscean hormone melatonin have been part of the health supplement scene for some time, for high melatonin production is known to be synonymous with a high immune system, a low cancer risk, long life, energy, stamina, and according to many, enhanced spiritual awareness. Perhaps it is fitting then that this hormone is secreted by the pineal gland, a mysterious little item long believed by mystics to be the "Seat of the Soul," "Me Third Eye," and the organ through which psychic powers are exercised. In fact, it actually functions as an organ of sight in some reptiles, and it still seems to possess some sensitivity to light in higher mammals, since melatonin production increases when the person is exposed to darkness (thus melatonin means "night worker!") High melatonin production thereby increases the facility for receiving and transmitting high-frequency cosmic and local broadcasts, and leads to a greater state of cosmic awareness - a state simply of ’knowing.’ In this regard, it is interesting to note that the Pineal Third Eye has been found to contain very fine granular particles, rather like the crystals in a wireless receiving set.Many magical rites and meditation techniques are aimed at gaining control of this organ and the fluid it produces: Veering at the mercy of decadent thighs, In billowing abandonment, A serpent dancing on the coy derrière, A baton in the bawdy dunes When the social life of Earth is harmonized, our planet will re-join the Metaverse of Passion & undergo vast transformations, affecting human form, weather, animals, & plants, even the oceans. Passion draws humanity into association just as gravity draws celestial bodies into orbital systems. Once just the flypaper scaffold of a vision - now a glorious reality..Once just sandgrains in a molecular hourglass - now miles of golden beaches. So I knelt there at the delta, at the alpha and the omega, at the cradle of the river and the seas. And a violet flame from heaven came for something like a second I was healed and my heart was at ease. .


MONDAY, JANUARY 30
If we succeeded in generating word-power yesterday, today’s aspects can open doors.
Moon in psychic Pisces sextiles Pluto the powerful and Mercury the communicator.
If we pay attention and use them, our consciousness and intuition connect us with the right
situations and thoughts to make a difference.

Metaversal Forecasts: Sunday the 22nd and Monday the 23rd

SUNDAY, JANUARY 22
We arise from the depths of emotional intensity when the Moon shifts from passionate Scorpio into philosophical Sagittarius at 5:45 am EST. Aspiring upward and outward into the infinite cosmos can be quite joyful, but we might also feel raw and exposed. Staying positive is still an uphill battle while the Moon forms anxious aspects throughout the day. Instead of relinquishing our power, it’s time to join together and demonstrate our solidarity.Moon in Sag gives this day a special vibration and force for thinking big, service to the masses, and transmutation of apparent blocks. The dark, post-inauguration stew gives way to a spirit of activism, as Moon enters Sagittarius early this morning. Think of a horse running free. An archer's eye trained on a distant target. A monk's heart and mind expanding to the heavens. The Moon encourages you to reach beyond a limit today. Pick one thing (however small) that you can do in the next hour to renew your sense of adventure and love for the world. The energy of Sagittarius is expansive, free, optimistic, generous, philosophical and visionary. Quick-jot down five things you're grateful for. Next, write down your current salary and add a couple zeros. And that fabulous thing you haven't accomplished yet? See yourself having done it. In this expansive frame of mind, hug a know-it-all. Forgive anyone who sticks their foot in their mouth. But avoid the mall, you'll overspend. In body matters, take a loofa to your cellulite thighs. If you go to the gym this Moontime, be cautious of upper leg strain. We can apply it with vision as Moon sextiles Sun in broad-thinking Aquarius.
New windows open as we travel or meet with friends or spiritual brethren. Promotion and publicity, whether for a cause or business, can be
quite effective, particularly on the Internet.


MONDAY, JANUARY 23
The workweek begins with optimism, as Moon in enthusiastic Sagittarius trines liberating Uranus and fires up our freedom impulse.
Nor is it all hot air. Mercury in practical Capricorn sextiles Neptune, planet of oneness. In post-retrograde shadow, this Mercury can help us
reorganize for our dreams and apply intuition and creativity to communications, connections, visualization, bureaucracy and whatever else we have pending
to manifest projects begun before last December 2.

Metaversal Astral Terrain Forecasts for January 16th to January 21st

Last year helped us deepen our knowledge and transmute karmic debt. It was a year of release, in some ways freeing,
in others, exhausting. It’s not that we couldn’t get things off the ground, but somehow they took longer than we expected
and life seemed to call us in too many directions. As the New Year begins, we experience a new lightness, and can more
easily apply the spontaneous confidence needed to start something. Not that all is fluffy and sweet.The Outer planet
overtones are strong, making the evolutionary stakes higher than they might feel over our first cup of New Year’s
coffee or tea. Also, Mercury is retrograde, so our beginnings are not of the sell-the-house-and-move-to-Mexico variety
(although many in the States may be tempted by the prospect, in the light of the political climate). It’s about retrieval
of intentions we’ve been carrying around for some time, taking them out of our pockets each night to set on the bedside
table along with our keys, coins and scraps of paper accumulated during the day. A good way to accentuate this shift is to thank the
passing cycle for its gifts and even its distractions or events that seemed to hold us back. We can think of the latter as offerings paid
to the cosmic forces of circulation and even push them along further by sorting out our things and giving away the clutter. Venus, lady of love and prosperity, will
help us follow our intuition and release material and affectional ties as she leaves the dry stratosphere of Aquarius
to enter the cleansing, compassionate waters of Pisces on January 3. As we clean and unclutter, we can bless and release
what seemed to overwhelm us last year, knowing that somewhere in the experience, healing was taking place. January is
Saturn time, and the god of effort rules the Sun, the last New Moon, and Mercury until January 4, when the messenger
planet dips briefly back into Sagittarius. Does that just sound like more work-work-work? Yes and no. This month is
about effort, yet the Saturn-Uranus trine that graced the winter solstice (true New Year) is still in orb.
As discussed last month, this aspect helps us find new fruits from our persistent, accumulated discipline.
Now receiving a sextile from Jupiter and being danced on by asteroids Ceres, the supplier, and Juno, protector of
women (before she was subsumed by patriarchy into the role of consort), the trine extends its sphere of influence to
include prosperity, empowerment in relationships and a touch of magick. With Mercury retrograde or in post-retrograde
shadow for most of the month, the work is inner as well as on goals seeded anytime before December 2.
The harmony of Saturn with Uranus the liberator means that we can make progress in our needs for freedom, spotlighted
in the house where the rebel planet is transiting 22 Aries. Uranus shakes, surprises or wriggles us into change.
But revolution has another, more compelling master: Pluto, that intense kid from the bad side of the tracks who shows
up whether or not we invite him, obliging us to alter our formulas, release outworn patterns and ultimately discover
our power. This radioactive baby crashes our New Year’s party, on January 7, when he takes a hit from the Sun.
Moving through 17 Capricorn, the dwarf planet shows us where our evolutionary work is currently centered, demanding a
total re-haul in some way or another. Often we’d like to tell it to stay in the bathroom where it belongs, flushing the
toilet and washing the floor. But when the Sun joins Pluto, all of a sudden we can get a look at hidden processes,
and even join our intention and conscious purpose to them. We can swim with–rather than against–our evolutionary
currents. This is particularly true while the Sun happens to be in Capricorn, sign of goals and disciplined effort.
Taking place as the year begins, this aspect offers a chance to renew our commitment to growth in a way that both
includes and transcends the calendar cycle.


MONDAY JANUARY 16.Virgo represents the period from 13 to 23 years old, when mental growth dominates our lives and many attend institutes of higher learning.
Many binding choices are made and the rules and details of society are learned. On the World scale Virgo is between 800 BC and AD 400, when classical civilizations like Greece and Rome flourished, when culture, science, philosophy, politics dominated. By AD 300the Books of the New Testament were chosen to support the beliefs of the Christians who formed the political organization of the Church. The naive excepted the surface value, while initiates were forced to hide (occult) their rituals and teachings. Until now. Even above Earth, there are secrets at the heart of Nature that'd make you laugh till you stopped." How can you believe in astrology?," angry, drunken Basque separatists have asked me. I tell them that astrology is not a belief system, but an archetypal, poetic language. I don't ask you if you believe in Japanese. I ask if you speak it. I don't ask you if you believe in music, I ask if you play it. I happen to speak the heavenly tongue of astrology along with thousands of other highly intelligent, inspiring, spiritual and even scientific astrologers. If I never have to deal with angry, drunken Basque separatists who have stolen the Shroud Of Turin again, it'll be too soon. Still, if my destiny is to be an untransformed seed-cum-manure of a man - or to put it another way - if I can at least be the source of unconscious friction that triggers another Christ or Buddha's urgency to awaken, then so be it. Fertilize my ego!

TUESDAY, JANUARY 17
Moon in Libra, sign of fairness and beautification, squares Mercury retrograde in structured Capricorn.
Review your image, self-talk, or a matter related to justice, such as a contract or the rights to your brand,
ideas or work, or those of others you wish to help. An absence of planetary aspects presents opportunities for
unresolved issues to suddenly spring back to life today and demand our immediate attention. The reflective Moon’s
shift into fair-minded Libra at 6:15 am EST enables us to maintain a semblance of objectivity while judging the
relative importance of our needs. Nevertheless, concrete conclusions are sadly elusive because reason succumbs to
emotions when the Moon squares cerebral Mercury. The Moon in balanced Libra today feels like being social. Libra represents the period from 23 to 42 years old, when partnerships are made and balance is sought between others and oneself. On the World scale Libra is between 400 and 1100 AD, when division of the church and state took over, and the Dark Ages swept over Europe and Asia.
The opposition is symbolic of the fact that in order to emerge from the unconscious, internal conflicts must be brought out into the light of day. Marriage was the primary process through which opposing countries where integrated into a whole. With the Moon in Libra we are aware of our communal relations, law, justice and balance. The 7th house (Libra) has been called the house of marriage. The key to the New Aeon of MA'AT is figuring out the new symbol for Libra, as the institution of marriage was originally designed as a tool by the Church to secure it's future domination. Those that cannot find this new symbol and perform these symbolic rites on themselves and their tribe, and the whole fabric of material being, will inherit only the blues, decay, and husks. Think more in terms of partnership and remember, your heart must be light as a feather.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18
The Day of Mercury in the week of Active Air. Mercury's function in Yetzirah is to actively communicate. To think. To know. To reason. Mercury teaches (by demonstration), the animation of Eidolons, the magickindwelling of icons by Spirit. Avoid any doctrine or religious movement that advocates a shameful wickedness with the alphabet. Moon in sometimes defensive Libra makes tense aspects with ruler Venus, communist Uranus and determined Pluto. Moon is in Libra today so take this time to be good to your Libra ruled kidneys. These amazing organs filter some 400-500 hundred gallons of blood a day. Lemons, beets, cranberry juice and cabbage and leafy vegetables are all healing to your kidneys Save negotiation, teamwork or conflict resolution for Friday, and instead focus on ways to leave a legacy, acts and
thoughts of unconditional kindness, and studying metaphysical or philosophic topics.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 19
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Air, 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 morning Moon is VOC in Libra—it’s best to save key actions for later or tomorrow, when the influences are
propitious. Mars the mover squares stalwart Saturn. If progress seems to be delayed or blocked, don’t succumb to
defeatism. Make a pit stop to reconnect with your intent and review your route and methods. Let your intuition guide
you; with Mars in subtle Pisces and Saturn in diplomatic Sag, it can reveal some less direct and more strategic
approaches. At 1:24 pm (4:24 ET), Sun enters Aquarius, providing philosophical perspective.
At 2:09 pm (5:09 ET), Moon reaches its Fourth Quarter. At 0 degrees Scorpio, the Sabian symbol says:
SIGHTSEERS IN A BUS STRAIN TO SEE CROWDS AND BUILDINGS. The perspective which leisure gives to everyday affairs.
Appetite for larger things. Seeing life as a whole. Social interchange. Consult your guides, an oracle or a trusted friend
for guidance on what you might release and reorganize in preparation for the first New Moon of the year, which comes on Friday, January 27.


FRIDAY, JANUARY 20
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. Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one. wellThe 5 roses represent the five senses in the Empress card (Atu 3) And in the Lovers card (Atu 6 ) the senses are the five fruits of Eve. Venus is indeed in cahoots with the senses. All movement of all living creatures in world of Assiah are tied to the senses and the desire-nature. The accomplished Lightpilot can remove the robe of desire in order to withdraw into the worlds of Briah and Atzitluth, but in order to achieve anything in the physical realms you keep that robe on. When you act, your gonna act in terms of desire. Venus represents that which is desirable. Every living thing seeks pleasure and tries to avoid pain. Victory lies in understanding our desire nature and learning how to use it.It’s Inauguration Day, and Moon in Scorpio awakens our powers of transmutation. A trine from this intense Moon to sensitive Neptune in Pisces, the sign of its rule, and a sextile from Venus–also in Pisces—to transformative Pluto
invite us to use love and compassion as agents of change. On a personal level, these influences bring the week to a harmonious, effective close. Particular favored are healing relationships, empowering connections and lustful, mystical tantric encounters.

Rick Levine Astrology Forecast for January 2017

Metaversal Astral Terrain Reports January 9th to 15th

Monday, January 9
Monday is “Moon day,” and our nocturnal light is in Gemini, ruled by Mercury in shadow, and her aspects are challenging. But we might have a hard time adjusting to a new schedule since the Moon creates several stressful aspects throughout the day. Giant Jupiter looms large, making it impossible to gauge the relative importance of any one event, since everything is equally urgent. For now, it is smarter to rely on our objective thoughts than on our feelings. Everybody is Everybody. Instead of trying to push through challenges, we can use affirmations to transmute them. These are great influences for polishing writing or publicity and pinning it down with good research. It’s a good day to give away obsolete items, or even new ones, to those in need.

Tuesday, January 10
Marsday of Waterweek 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. Moon in communicative Gemini blends with the impulse of Mars and the pioneering spirit of Number 5 to bless the results of direct communication. Contact a client, submit a proposal, review communications for business or study. With Sun squaring independent Uranus, focus on something related to your freedom and avoid unnecessary arguments. Speak, ask and act before 1:38 pm (4:38 ET), when Moon goes VOC. At 2:49 pm (5:39 ET), she enters Cancer. With Mars the warrior in harmony with Pluto the powerful, use the afternoon to renew efforts at home renovation, following a lead, finding new home or renovating the one you have. Begin a New Year’s intuition program—of dream work, divinatory study or metaphysics. Or, take heroic action on behalf of family or pets. (Remember to focus on what you began before December 2.)

Wednesday, January 11
The Day of Mercury in the week of Water. Mercury's function in Briah is to listen. To think. To know. To reason. Mercury teaches (by demonstration), the animation of Eidolons, the magick indwelling of icons by Spirit. Avoid any doctrine or religious movement that advocates a shameful wickedness with the alphabet. Today is 1-11 of a 1 year–angelic frequencies respond more readily to our kind intentions. Moon in tender Cancer trines Venus and Neptune, planets of personal and spiritual love, while Sun in structured Capricorn squares Jupiter, planet of light beings. Meditate on forgiveness, metta, or your preferred expression of kindness. This evening, our protective instincts are awakened by contacts from Moon to Pluto the godfather and Mars the feisty. Send a letter Congress and defend homeless people or pets.

Thursday, January 12
The first Full Moon of the year, known as the Wolf Moon, is usually in Cancer, and today’s lunation is no exception. Like wild wolves drawing close in winter, Luna now brings our clan instincts to light. She complements the Capricorn Sun’s worldly focus with warm blankets, hot drinks and stories around the hearth. It is a time to reaffirm our roots—or the part of them we wish to perpetuate. The Sabian symbol for 22-23 Cancer indicates that our clan is composed not solely of our genetic kin, but also of those who resonate with our higher inclinations.
A GROUP OF INTELLECTUAL INDIVIDUALS MEETS FOR DISCUSSION. Interchange of ideas among any elite as a basis for the cultural development of the whole. Mental or physical development.
The Full Moon will be exact at 3:34 pm (6:34 ET). Bless your home, seek out dear ones or those who resonate with your calling and goals, offer to help, or encourage them to meet theirs. Intend, pray and act in whatever way you can, large or small, in support of families in crisis (in Syria, Africa or Haiti) and lost, abandoned or abused children at home or abroad.

Friday, January 13
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. Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one. As it transits Leo, Moon’s creative streak shines bright and sets the light-specific stage, which indeed all the world is. The angel of dread has wrestled with the Lightpilot and brought her to her knees, and then - the lifting up into the light;, until the Lion's Mouth is opened by gentle hands, until the secret of the Sphinx revealed, and then - the revelation of the Metaversal Harmony. Of course I'm talking 'bout the archetype of Leo - the King: long live the, kill the,...etc. The Lion-serpent sun sign, the power of Will, the quest for authenticity. With the Moon in Leo we may be seeking romance with a flare for the dramatic.. Contacts with artist planets Venus and Neptune further increase inspiration. These influences are also propitious for romance and fun, though with Neptune in the mix, and a contact with Pluto late tonight, keep your antennae turned on, shy away from substance abuse, avoid dark alleys, scan the city street before getting in your car, and be selective about who you hang out with.


Saturday, January 14
A harmony from Moon in dramatic Leo to Jupiter the promoter is worth rising early for. Leo represents the period of development when as children we begin primary school, which is the first detachment from the family structure, where we learn to make relationships and satisfy the need to be loved in the world. Games provide a way to relate to others and they teach us to accept and make rules, the basis for being able to structure our lives (from 7 to 13 years old). On the World Scale, Leo is between 3,000 to 800 BC when both the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations flourished, when religion became monotheistic, where one being represented or was, God on Earth. The Time of Pharaohs and Kings, Lion images proliferated in architecture and monuments, for the Lion is of course, King of Beasts. Give roses in bed to your honey, contact a prospect for that position, or relaunch a promotion. Talk, kiss or buy early, since at 7:17 am (10:17 ET), Moon goes VOC in trine to Saturn. Go back to sleep, or organize your closet and just have fun. Moon enters Virgo at 7:52 pm (10:52 ET). Straighten your bookshelf, get on track with that New Year’s diet, or reach out to someone who needs help.

Venus is now exalted in Pisces

One of the most tortured and misunderstood concepts in astrology is that of Exaltation. There are two main reasons why this is the case. First of all, modern astrologers are either unaware that a mystical system exists that permeates and underlies all astrology or fail to see its relevance. Worse perhaps, is that there is awareness of this system, but the modern practitioner takes for granted that it can be changed to suit ‘modern sensibilities’ or ignored all together.

If you can’t see why the system is the way it is, then what’s the harm in throwing a few extra planets or asteroids in for good measure. Who cares if there are enough asteroids to provide over a hundred of them for every degree of the zodiac. While we’re at it, why not add some new aspects because, you know, our subtle energies vibrate to a New Age to which the ancients had no awareness. They only used the seven planets and the five aspects because they didn’t know any better. Somebody ought to channel Pythagoras and let him know.

So when the question arises as to why a planet is exalted in a sign, those sufficiently divorced from the tradition, might attempt to understand it using, let’s say, psychological criteria that become increasingly exotic and usually highly subjective. In the case of Venus in Pisces, we are told that only Pisces can give unconditional and Universal love whereas Venus in other signs is presumably incapable. Universal love or agape isn’t what Venus is about. She is associated with Eros, music, seduction, sweets and so on. Recently I read that Venus is exalted in Pisces because Venus was born from the sea, more accurately sea foam, which sounds good until you realize that Pisces is not the ocean. That belongs to Cancer.

A brief search on the internet will provide several other stock explanations that make little sense when examined in the light of reason or by simple reference to the system that brought about exaltations in the first place.

The most direct technical answer to the question . why is Venus exalted in Pisces.’ is to note that it’s opposite the Fall of Venus in Virgo. Exaltations are always in the opposite sign of their Fall Let’s begin with the Domicile of the Signs: below is the list of domiciles for each planet and luminary. With the exception of the Sun and Moon, all planets have two domiciles. One is Masculine or Diurnal and the other Feminine or Nocturnal.


The system is a perfect symmetry, but may not appear to be at first glance.. If we take the Sun and Moon as the centre, then the rulerships follow the Chaldean order of planets. So for example, Mercury takes Gemini and Virgo as domicile – that is to say the sign before and the sign after the Luminaries. Next will come Venus in Taurus and Libra Finally Saturn is left with Capricorn and Aquarius. See the diagram below.

In summary:

The Moon has only one Domicile, Cancer – Nocturnal Feminine

Mercury has his Domicile in Gemini and Virgo – Diurnal Masculine and Nocturnal Feminine

Venus has her Domicile in Taurus and Libra Nocturnal Feminine and Diurnal Masculine

The Sun has only one Domicile, Leo – Diurnal Masculine

Mars finds his domicile in Aries and Scorpio – Diurnal Masculine and Nocturnal Feminine.

Jupiter has his Domicile in Sagittarius and Pisces. Diurnal Masculine and Nocturnal Feminine

Saturn has his Domicile in Capricorn and Aquarius – Nocturnal and Feminine and Diurnal Masculine.

These Saturnine signs oppose the Luminaries: Capricorn is the detriment of the Moon and Aquarius the Detriment of the Sun. Saturn is the greater malefic. The domiciles of Mars, Aries and Scorpio, oppose both domiciles of Venus, Libra and Taurus respectively’. Jupiter the greater benefic has Sagittarius and Pisces for his domicile. Diurnal Jupiter trines the Sun and is Exalted in the domicile of the Moon. From this alone, it is easy to see why Saturn is the greater malefic and Jupiter the greater benefic.

Mercury appears to upset the balance by having his Domicile and Exaltation in Virgo, while he takes both detriment and Fall in Pisces. Venus then takes her fall in Virgo and exaltation in Pisces. This is because Jupiter opposes both domiciles of Mercury and visa versa.

Returning to Pisces, we find nocturnal Jupiter opposing Virgo, which is trine nocturnal Venus – thus Venus is exalted in Pisces. The system is simple once one knows how to read it. Remember this is only one way of measuring planetary strength. Domicile is considered to be of greater dignity than Exaltation.

My sole intention in writing this article is to explain the nature of exaltations and, because Venus is exalted in Pisces at the time of writing. With this in mind, it’s neither the time or place to debate possible archetypal meanings. However, there is no doubt that Venus is very happy in the sign of the Fishes, but the happiness is more sensual than mystical in the ordinary sense of that word. After all, we have the greater benefic with the lesser benefic Venus in the House of Jupiter will not auger restriction. In the words of Mae West ““Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.”

The final analysis will look to the phases of Venus. She is known as Phosphorus as the evening and Lucifer as the Morning Star; but that is for another article..

Metaversal Waterweek Forecasts January 5 to January 8

This forecast is prepared and written in luminous tiles across your retinas. May it shine forth upon all who meet your gaze. Words grow here slick and filthy and unhindered by enterprise.



THURSDAY, JANUARY 5
Take physical exercise in Jupiter's Day, when he is reigning, and use Jovial things such as Lapis Lazuli, Brass, Cedarwood, blue and aery colours, wine, honey; and entertain thoughts and feelings which are particularly Jovial, that is, expansive, healthy, and with good humour... - Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Astrologer and Orphic Musician

The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Water. Projecting Light Specific Blue and facing West, vibrate this azure deluxe into your Second Chakra along with the mantrum: EE-BE-DA. Jupiter is all about allowing ambiguity, contradiction, and movement. It isn't about integration. It helps the ego become more flexible. By Jove, life isn't about staying calm and balanced, but rather about keeping complexity and drama and everything else alive and in dynamic flow.
Aries Moon wants action, and with Mercury retrograde, demands a recount of your results since the New Moon of December 28,as she reaches her second quarter in square to Sun in say-it-with-dollars in Capricorn. The Sabian symbol describes:BRIGHTLY CLAD BROWNIES, DANCING IN WARM, DYING LIGHT. Relationship between unconscious and conscious sides of life. Invisible assistance often entailing obligation to outer forces. Review, retouch and rework. As if we needed more pressure, this afternoon Moon squares pushy Pluto. Get or give an amazing BJ, watch a Sherlock Holmes movie, focus on deep introspection and healing, transmute mental blocks, or work on something creative.Today’s easiest aspects take place when many people are sleeping. At 10:08 pm (1:08 am ET), Moon opposes expansive Jupiter, and soon thereafter trines Saturn, planet of manifestation. If you can, use these influences by organizing for success, working on a promotion, preparing class materials or publicity, writing a strategy, or a sending a letter of gratitude to a teacher.


FRIDAY, JANUARY 6
The Day of Venus in the week of Water. 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. Venus represents that which is desirable. Every living thing seeks pleasure and tries to avoid pain. Victory lies in understanding our desire nature and learning how to use it. . but it also can fractal the Vortex, mirror-into-mirror. Fractallity simplified means that if one places a mirror at a certain angle one gets a mirror into a mirror, into a mirror -- that is fractal recursion, and that is precisely mapped by the Golden Ratio, or PHI (1.618). Our body is comprised from out of it. Take the end of a finger section, to the next middle of the finger section, then onto the base of the finger, and they are in their relation to each other like a Golden Spiral, the same ratio as a mirror into a mirror, into a mirror -- holographic fractal recursion, cross-indexed within the profane and arcane of the anatomy of the self. In the same way, amidst the Lightcraft, we have tetrahedrons incascades, each cascade mapped through an 8 Hz orthorotation through the Metaverse.and out in the mangroves the mynah birds cry in the shadows of sulphur the trawlers drift by, they're chewing dried meat in a of disrepute, the dust of opiates and syphilis patientsFriday’s Venusian vibrations mingle nicely with today’s prosperous number 7, to make the most of this morning’s Aries Moon Act boldly and before 10:41 am (1:41 pm ET), when goes VOC, until entering Taurus at 12:18 pm (3:18 ET). Common sense returns today, enabling us to successfully proceed with our individual plans. Although we’re still excited about achieving our goals, prudent Saturn enters the picture to remind us that slow and steady wins the race. Additionally, the Moon’s shift into plodding Taurus at 3:17 pm EST confirms that determination improves our chances of reaching our destination more thana clever strategy. Our attitude is important but so is follow-though. Besides being exalted in the earthiest of all signs, Taurus Moon sextiles Venus in creative, sensitive Pisces this evening. This is great for business, art and romance.We move from efficacy to intensity as Sun joins Pluto, the power planet, in Capricorn. This evening in Oaktown, as it is the first Friday of 2017, you lucky Lightpilots, its The Core issue 193 release event and Iao Core: “Dopamine Jackpot” CD Listening Party. The Winter 2016 copies of the 193rd issue of The Core are ready. These gorgeous, hand made, investment quality art zines are limited to 200 copies of each issue. Each mag has a painting of an Enochian Angel by yours truly, Johannes Ayres, as it's back cover, so this will be the last time all 200 paintings can be viewed at the same time and anyone interested in picking out the painting they want gracing the back of their copy can do so. What is most important to the Core is your presence. This evening, I will show you the process of production of the Enochian Angel Paintings, and you can view all 200 before they catchAD the four winds, and be the first to hear the new Iao Core CD (it's awesome). ADHDJ and Neon Leon will spin Electric Body Music, Celebrity guests will read excerpts from this issue, and Cash Hose will give a slide presentation/lecture on his recent trip to the Abyss …Will there be fireworks? No, there will not be fireworks, but there’s a young Christian girl (a bastard daughter of yours, if Reverend Glitch is to be believed) who will read from the Core for tips and cheese. 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. at Grand and Telegraph 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. “Dopamine Jackpot“. 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, JANUARY 7
This can be a highly constructive and creative day. Lunar harmonies with Neptune, Mars and Pluto favor breakthroughs and
noble deeds. Obstacles can be overcome, actions produce prosperous and even heroic outcomes. As for our interactions today, we should steer clear of dubious or hypnotic people, and select those who are clear and constructive. The Moon in Taurus brings new, encouraging developments related to our new cycle of transformation started on December 28, as it trines Pluto and Sun over the day. We can see the possibilities of what we can create through this year’s most fortunate of energy patterns. Even if we face difficulties, we can use them beneficially. The Moon in stabilizing Taurus reminds us for the first T.I.M.E. in Human History that we have enough information at our global disposal to allow us the privilege of a real choice to deny the biological unfolding bequeathed to us; to refute the genetic program of a “GOD” (an/the original author) and enabling us to choose to rewrite his DNA (AND) book of (so called) L-if-E. For the first T.I.M.E. (Time Is Measured Energy) each of us actually has the power to deny the inherited body type and birth-given gender pressed unilaterally upon us by nature. We have entered the dawning of the age of the “cut-up” in all its gloriao sabao ee eye ee eye O! This is not just wishful thinking (although thinking a wish in order to see what happens IS a great place to begin) but, rather, the following series of suggestions for creative brains everywhere, who are aspiring to adjust the atrophied data presets of our pre-apocalyptic times, are techniques and motivational drives concerned with both our survival as a larval species AND the optimistic faith that this same young species might flourish and grow without (separate from) destruction and ignorance as its over-riding principle of action. AT LAST . In OTHER words, properly braided DNA is the ONLY way to get biological memories squeezed up in coherent velocities and spin densities sufficient for galactic time travel and black hole penetration. Now if our whole galactic sector were about to go through a NEXUS vortex requiring spin densitiy translation requiring such a coherence penetration through a light barrier event horizon, guess WHO would get to survive through the wormhole? Only those who had learned to fabricate their species in a DNA geometry with enough braid coherence could get their memories through this zero point, or "near death" harmonic
concrescence time recursion event. In "spiritual" parlance, this is known as "get a soul".. So, here on Earth, having a
soul means having enough magnetic spin harmonic cascades around rescursive DNA, to keep biological memories wormholed to
some connective... sort of like having a Draconian crystal implant to a central automiton computer, only LOTS different/
better. Better, specifically because spin paths up and down this ladder of life recursion braid, are all only tests based
on the simple sharebility of spin memory. In other words pure intention is the only survivor through traffick jams of
spin pressure. Now the storal to this mory was that DNA appears to get its greatest how to braid info from the EKG at
the moment of compassion, so………………Instructive dreams lead to action, even if we don’t remember what we experienced during our slumber. Actions we take today will feed our process of the next six months, so judicious risks take precedence over rashness. We will know what to do.I hope this isn't an ackward time to mention that 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 is Self. D.I.Y

Fireweek Forecasts January 2,3 and 4

MONDAY, JANUARY 2
Returning to work or school might not be an easy adjustment today. The moody Moon’s shift into mystical Pisces at 4:57 am EST enchants us with thoughts that divert our attention to magical and mysterious realms. We may be dazed and confused by several of Luna’s stressful midday aspects and her subsequent conjunction with fuzzy Neptune. Meanwhile, a fateful connection between romantic Venus and wild Uranus can shock us with an unexpected detour. We get an echo of yesterday’s influences as Moon joins Neptune and later Mars. Moon enters Pisces in the wee hours, favoring a chart reading or psychic consultation. In the afterglow of the conjunction from energetic Mars to sensitive Neptune, seek guidance, and apply creativity to your line of action. Returning to work or school might not be an easy adjustment today.

Meanwhile, a fateful connection between romantic Venus and wild Uranus can shock us with an unexpected detour.The Same Mind that knows the best way to manifest my intent also knows how to reveal it to me, and does this through infinite channels, here and now.


TUESDAY, JANUARY 3
Venus has entered compassionate Pisces, complimenting sensitive Moon, also in the sign of the fish. Today, the planet of
love receives a sextile from Mercury in constructive Capricorn. Our creative and relational circuits are activated.
With Mercury retrograde, pick up an artistic project begun before December 2, or direct today’s planetary
influences by renewing a relationship connection. Moon in Pisces remains quite useful (even brilliant) in helping us realize our dreams through action. Pisces represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between 28 weeks after Conception till Birth, when after the electrick nervous system of the fetus switches on (Aquarius), we become psychically tuned to the entity later to be known as Mother. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Meteversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Pisces represents the enlightened Self which must give itself totally to the whole, dissolving into the void, in order to achieve the final unity with the realm of pure spirit. On the World scale, Pisces occupies the period between 1910 and 1969. heralded by the founding of Psychoanalysis, when Mankind began exploring again the Unconscious strata of Life, and by Albert Einstein's (a Pisces) Theory of Relativity. This was the time of Jung, Joyce, Hesse, Huxley, Leary, Burroughs. We transcended the limits the illusion, Maya, the physical World of Assiah, extending inward with the electron microscope and outward with the high powered Telescope. The entire range of audible musical notes and the whole spectrum of visible colour, apprehended and understood. The dissolving power of mutable Water, Second coming of the Fish with the Double Wand of Power, Atom Bomb and LSD. With the Moon in Pisces we have a heightened sensitivity to Musick and the Dreamtime, and we feel the depths of pure compassion for the Metaverse and it's inhabitants. Let the subtlety of thought and expression, the depth of imagination, and the ability to think nonverbally inspire you to create beautiful art and music today . Lunar harmonies with Chiron favor healing results. At 5:33 pm (8:33 ET), a lunar square to stern
Saturn breaks up the party. Focus on independent inner or outer work, make a dream board, or procure materials for
visualizing the New Year’s goals. There is an omnipresent force of love that guides me and helps me to renew my divine connections now.


WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4
The Day of Mercury in the week of Fire. Retrograde Mercury's function in Atziluth is to actively communicate backwards. To think. To know. To reason. Mercury teaches (by demonstration), the animation of Eidolons, the magick indwelling of icons by Spirit.
Avoid any doctrine or religious movement that advocates a shameful wickedness with
the alphabet Moon enters Sagittarius, increasing our enthusiasm and producing sensitivity to angelic contacts, before going VOC at 8:14 am.
Six minutes later she enters Aries, favoring progress on short-term goals that require a stroke of bravery to break through and overcome challenges.
I am made in the image and likeness of confidence and I allow myself to radiate it now.
