The Galactic Times
Retro Trends ~ June 3, 2009
In the past few days Mercury resumed direct motion (thanks to all who
wrote to report I had that bassackwards in the last Galactic Times),
Neptune and Chiron stationed retreating into retrograde and soon -
June 15th - Jupiter commences a back track over previously taken
steps. Given that communication matters resume a sense of normalcy and
those misunderstood quotes, comments and suggestions clear, the
opportunistic Jupiter encourages a review of all the visions, dreams
and inspirations Neptune seeks to invoke.
A simple review of all those projects fired up late last year and
early this year goes a long way to ensure that this year, nearly half
complete and notwithstanding the economic crisis, actually amounts to
something. Of course, with Venus lingering in the last few degrees of
Aries, the urge to push to cash out an idea co ntradicts the need to
review and reflect. What if a few simple reflective steps assure a
more potent outcome a little further down the road? Would that work?
Sure it's a mixed bag. Some ideas need a nudge to see if the last
little snag might clear and afford some short term progress. However,
those really big passion projects that represent a major outpouring of
one's soul undoubtedly benefit from the review protocol. A review is
not to be confused with changing courses or altering agendas
midstream, with or without a horse. It's a matter of including all the
current feedback and recent inspirations occurring after the
commencement of presenting an idea that have not been effectively
added and making sure you still burn to do this inspiration thing. Nor
is this to be confused with the ongoing addendum syndrome. You know,
when a software person for instance, keeps coming up with one more
thing to add on that prevents the software from a timely release and
annoys Saturn well beyond his sensibilities.
The Jupiter-Neptune retrogradation suggests that you take a break from
creating new projects and review projects started in the past several
months - within say the last nine months. Certainly this does not
suggest a prohibition on new concepts. If a great idea comes along
your way and you develop and seed it, that's fabulous. It's just that
with Mars now in Taurus and Venus on his heels coming up to an
opposition on the manifestat ion magic of the intersection of the
Galactic and Super-Galactic Centers (Z/ZS), which occurs on the eve of
the Solstice, completion and fullness of accomplishment feed the soul.
A sense of incompleteness or the inability to close any deal or call
any project satisfactorily completed damages the perceptions of
planets in Taurus. This fine earth sign, where Sedna also travels,
loves to see tangible results. Add Sedna's prioritization of basic
life necessities, providence, enduring talent and creativity that find
a way to support necessities and providence, and you have a result-
rich consciousness.
True, when one reviews, reflects, redesigns and retrofits, immediate
results do not occur. However, important inspirations that receive a
make over such that they do manifest in their fullest and most potent
forms appease completion sensibilities and establish confidence in
one's ability to endure, persevere and complete. Starting off on a
series of tangential distractions that seem like a good patch and do
not get done because the interest wave wanes quickly, works against a
personal sense of accomplishment. The Taurus trend prevailing as this
reflection cycle begins suggests understanding the big picture, going
long in planning. The trend maintains no tolerance for false starts,
wayward efforts and a lack of emotional commitment - the kind one
feels in the bones - for real world efforts and activities.
Perhaps a few guidelines can assist any deal making, production planning, job taking scenarios in the short term
Accept no deal not worth it, despite the economy. If you cannot
energetically and enthusiastically invest in an assigned task, verify
you are not operating at a realm lower than your minimum standards of
fair compensation. To stay productive and inspired, resentment cannot
encroach on the creative spirt. Resentment commonly occurs with under
compensation - a direct link to personally feeling undervalued on the
talent and personal attribute level.
Given the collective poverty consciousness in the material world,
there's no sense in inflaming poverty consciousness of the psyche. Use
the high road mantra of Taurus that realizes that personal abilities,
skill sets and talents never deplete unless ignored or unapplied.
Thus, one constantly possesses inner resources which can produce outer
resources.
Believe that by the time the last Jupiter-Neptune alignment forms in
early December the collective fears of economic woe will have
evaporated and been replaced by refreshing showers of enthusiasm,
creativity and innovation.
Clear your life of as many petty, annoying distractions as you can.
Apply for the passport in plenty of time. Remember to check that funky
noise under the car. Fill out the necessary paperwork for green-life
style tax credits. Once clear, address minor distractions as quickly
as possible - at least on a daily basis.
Figure out your most creative, inspired time of the day. Savor20this
time. Protect it. Allow no encroachments on the window in which your
system reaches innovation overdrive. Use it. Use it each and every
day; this way you appease the discipline god, Saturn, who loves to
color in the bits of progress on life's task completion charts.
The alignment of Venus and Mars in Taurus on the 20th is worth noting.
It would be as if there's a free turn for incantation, proclamation,
declaration, affirmation and the like. To utilize this alchemically
rich influence, speak only in positive, inclusive terms. Avoid double
negatives, betting against oneself and hedging bets. Once done with
invocation, celebrate. It's time to be included in the celestial
celebration of these bodies and to invoke the solstice with full
gusto. Gusto it is.
Should you be in need of some consultation support, go for it. If you
need a session and need to make a payment arrangement, please e-mail.
For those who might need a nudge on purchasing the Galactic Trilogy
CD, I have one. While packing for the recent Norwac conference, I
found two audio lecture series. One is two talks on Eris on a single
CD with relevant charts; the other a workshop entitled Navigating the
Underworld. The first two orders for the Galactic Trilogy receive one
of these free. First come, first pick.
Of course, personal and relationship reports and other goodies are
available in my website's store. Links below.
And there's an updated blog on20the Matrix site. This one addresses a
hatchet job essay on Sedna that seems to be web-circulating more
widely than it deserves.
More next week...
