WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1The Day of Mercury in the week of Fire. Mercury's function in Yetzirah is to actively communicate. 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 in Aries prods us out of bed with a mind to begin something under the recently waxing Moon. We may believe we can cure whatever ails us today and our intentions are so strong that our thoughts have magical powers. The innocent Aries Moon inspires us to overlook the limitations that normally stand in our way. We’re eager to try anything as Luna’s supportive sextile to the quirky Aquarius Sun encourages us to ignore the rules. However, communication is the key to health and happiness while messenger Mercury collaborates with healer Chiron. The harmony from Mercury the thinker to wounded-healer Chiron is great for using affirmations, ideas and words to heal oneself or another, and, with Mercury in Capricorn, is also great for giving our space a feng shui treatment. We will want to have used this day well, because a nighttime square from Moon to intense Pluto can get deep, but is neither comfortable nor harmonious.

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
This morning is worth rising for. It’s Imbolc, a turning point in the yearly wheel, as the Sun born at Solstice reaches its fortieth day. This is a moment of new strength for the spiritual warrior forces. The rays of the ascending Sun caress the earth, and their energy rouses the spark of life at the center of dormant seeds. Even those deep within the ground somehow respond to this magical radiance. As for us humans, our powers of creativity are released to a new phase. Early transits include an opposition from Moon in active Aries to Jupiter, planet of fortune, teaching and promotion, and a square from freshly direct Mercury to the giant of the solar system. Initiatives for activism, publicity, promotion, teaching and learning can be quite effective. At 8:50 am (11:50 ET), Moon goes VOC on a trine to constructive Saturn. This influence offers the perfect time to pause, reconsider the progress we’ve made since Solstice, and recommit to our New Year’s goals. At 5:50 pm (8:50 ET), Moon enters Taurus, where it is exalted, favoring a pleasant evening at home, visualizing, and acting on your intentions.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3
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 Yesterday’s rich, energizing influences continue, with Moon in abundant Taurus and her ruler Venus entering vital Aries at 7:51 am (10:51 ET). Intuition surges, favoring psychic work or consulting the I Ching, favorite cards, or an oracle, as Moon sextiles dreamy Neptune at midday, an aspect that also favors romance, visualizing abundance, and giving tangible form to things artistic. This evening, the creative window stays open as Moon in sensual Taurus reaches her First Quarter in square to Sun in inspired Aquarius. The Sabian symbol for this lunation is: OLD MAN TRIES TO IMPART HIDDEN TRUTHS TO A CROWD. Conscious possession of a greater knowledge than can be used. Great inner fullness. Spiritual loneliness. We can use this influence to take stock of an intention we seeded at the New Moon of January 27, and realign our focus.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4
The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Water. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum. "Because your mine, I walk the line".With it being Waterweek, honor Saturn today by creating greater stability in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your base Chakra. Our consciousness in this chakra is concerned with survival, with our fight or flight response, with our instincts. It links the individual with the physical world. Serves as the foundation to evolve and build personality. If we are to ignore this chakra, and concern ourselves with the higher levels, we will be growing without roots, we will be unstable, unable to withstand the trials that will come our way. If our survival needs are met, the Base Chakra will function healthily, but if there is a perceived threat to this, (such as a difficult house move, job change, health problems, etc.) it can create an imbalance. Other Saturnian imbalances can show themselves in various ways, from sleeplessness and the inability to relax, to obsession with money, possessions or health. Romping Mars joins dreamy Neptune, a potentially steamy combination that could favor a hot encounter at a sauna or Turkish bath, but also warns us to go light on liquor and avoid mixing drinking with driving, with operating machinery or for that matter with potentially boisterous attitudes and settings. This combination can be well directed in taking some heroic action for a cause or person, like helping the homeless or volunteering to wash the dishes at a soup kitchen.However you choose to celebrate, low-key and sober is probably saferThis is a power day. Constructive Saturn rules Saturday and is also connected to the number 4. Moon in prosperous Taurus contacts worker Saturn, as well as fortunate Jupiter. If you’re house-hunting, this is a great day to buy or rent a new home. For the rest of us, it’s a wonderful time to improve our present space. We can also lay groundwork for business, activist or personal affairs. At 2:42 pm (5:42 ET), Moon goes VOC on a trine to Mercury in constructive Capricorn. In Taurus, it’s still productive. We can plan to sign or negotiate a contract, write copy, promote a business, or enjoy a get-together with a teacher or elder. At 8:44 pm (11:44 ET), Moon enters sociable Gemini, where it favors contacting authority figures, as well as writing, sales, purchasing phone or computer equipment, and getting in touch with siblings. Not all is work, as Moon makes a sextile to Venus, goddess of love, in passionate Aries late tonight. 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
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5
There is a need for light, not only in California but throughout the nation and world, and we have much to do. In Aquarius time we each open to our own light and let it shine for all. We learn that when we put light on any situation, we get light back. Emily and I experienced that with our January 2001 inauguration ritual, just as the Sun entered Aquarius. We called in the help of the elements to bring in light, and after the ceremony we felt contented and healed. Our fear and misgivings were dissipated. In Capricorn we built the life forms to contain spirit. Now, in Aquarius, we can let that light of spirit shine through everything we do. Like electricity, the cosmos flashes through us, and we become conductors of divine messages, each in our unique way. As Aquarius enters, we feel the stirrings of individuality. Those stirrings can be symbolized by the groundhog, who emerges from his winter hibernation on February 2 to check on his shadow. How do we cope with these new impulses for autonomy? Do we become aware that we cast our shadow wherever we go, and awaken to the world? Or do we remain oblivious of our impact and return to sleep? Aquarius calls on us to awaken—to become conscious of our world, responsive to the needs of others, and open to our own self-expression. As we become more sensitive to those forces around us, our responsibilities increase. Our ideals of brotherhood and sisterhood are stimulated, and we desire to make the world a better place.As a fixed sign, Aquarius demands commitment—commitment to our nobler aspirations, our higher selves, to that great light which radiates from the heart of each of us.Expressed poetically, the time of Aquarius might be called the month of the ‘flowering of consciousness,’ as though the service we perform now is like a rose blooming in midwinter, when no one expects it.” —Leichtman and Japiske
