Well that astrological event felt like ripping a scab off.

I mean, honestly it’s the little things. I’m trying to think what inspired me and originally it probably was the 13 days of Yule. 🤷 it does help. I like your idea about the moon. I’m going to add that.

Yes!! 🙌

Grateful for folks like @thetarotlady.bsky.social and @chrisbrennan.bsky.social for the fantastic updates in their independent formats on social media and such. It's been a lot of notes and dates, but worth it.

#grateful

I have committed to note-taking this year, for astrological updates and adding them to my calendar. Pulling cards for those dates for myself, and planning workings as needed around that.

Emotions drive actions when Mars enters Pisces on the 2nd. The warrior planet isn’t too happy here – it’s like a wet blanket. While it’s possible to feel motivated by your feelings, you can run out of steam, too. Passion moves between hot and meh. #astrology

Today I am grateful for the sharing, but more importantly for the trust.

Those who were initiated into those things seem to have shared a lot across the lines of culture, tribe, social, political, and religious lines.

I respect that line and the respectful transgression of the initiate.

The view backwards into ancestry looks like...

There were things absolutely not for the uninitiated; there were cultural, tribal, social, and political-religious aspects that were respected as separate from the everyday.

And

I'm really getting the hang of these weeklies...

I hear you, and I see the part you’re talking about. Received with love and hugs. Thank you, friend.

I highly recommend Kokuho. I would describe very few things as epic. I am extremely curious about the choice of maiden performances, and the sequence in which they appear in the film in relationship to the story. I guess I must read the book.

The key wasn't to react to the people or situations I thought caused the feelings. The key was to claim the feelings as my own, let them flow, and hold myself with love and respect. If you are feeling drained or emotionally ripped off, it is time to check your boundaries and restore your limits.

This week (Feb 22-28), the energy of Puffball is bringing things to the surface. I spent a few days recently feeling raw after working with fluorite to unblock some emotional stagnation. It brought up exactly what was hidden.

All too many people do not live their own lives, and generally they know next to nothing about their real “nature”. They make convulsive efforts to “adapt”, not to stand out in any way... They are slaves of “what people think”, “what people do”, etc.~Jolande Jacobi, The Way of Individuation

The layer that the ascent took me to might be illuminated this morning…

That’s the part that often gets me is the… I don’t know. I think my therapists would have a field day with me this morning as I examine 😂 the comfort of the illusion of an imagined evil versus the frightening reality of the real world evil. (“Evil” for the record, being human not supernatural).

I think I learned this one from you and it lives in me

I think comforting is a great highlight in that.

Conspiracy thinking is an easy target for me. I’m judgy, because it doesn’t ask actual questions, and most often leads people into planned destinations, for obscure, manipulative reasons.

Today I’m meditating on the questions, not the judgments.

I feel salt to feel that burn. I can be wrong.

But to live without the questions, especially of unconscious personal belief is remarkable.

The Sandbox questioning is life, and the deep work of the questions is myself.

I feel like my training in Magick, my practices in Buddhism, my approach which is part vituality, part actuality, part philosophy, part method, part psychology, coached through therapy and personal writing, decades of journaling, makes me feel safe enough to have this questions.

They still burn.

Is this a material truth? Is this a dimensional experience? Is this a felt belief? Is this a poetic truth that speaks to my soul? Is this emotion, thought, soul? What happens if I’m wrong? What is this believed truth to me when it is revealed to be false?
