Blood Moon

The fourth eclipse, a Super Moon [perigee] the Harvest Moon, but I am thinking of this as the 4th arm of Kali.  In each of her hands she holds an object, and each object represents a process of the destruction of obstacles to liberation. One hand is in the mudra of blessing, one of fearlessness.  The other 2 hold a sword, shaped like the dark of the moon, or like the glyph for Lilith, the dark feminine, and the other holds a severed head.  These represent destruction of the ego.  Her tongue is out to show that she is ready to devour the demons and all other obstacles to awakening.  Each of these eclipses are in the axis Aries/Libra, looking from self to other, from desire and cooperation.  In a collective sense, we are in a time of being required to look to the other as a mirror of the self, to recognize that we are all connected, that none of us are walking away from the wounds inflicted by some of us on humanity, on life forms in general and the planet.  It is an axis of responsibility, and the need now is to take it for all the ways obvious and secret in which we miss the point, [or sin, as Christianity would have it].  Every thought we have, every thing we do every interpretation we make is seeds of karma sown or karma harvested.
There is no escape from Kali, we all have to wake up, and the eclipse energy opens the channels to the less seen, less acknowledged areas of consciousness to speed the plow.

threats and promises...

I should probably not vow to stay regular with observing anything, because it is a killer.  Nothing gets the inner critic muttering like promising to stick to something.  Now with The Sun Squaring a Moon Saturn conjunction,  I'm throwing out the idea of completely abandoning this blog to point out that not only has it bee a tough couple of days, or weeks for the ego, [not just mine,] but to put all who follow this on notice that we don't have much time left in this particular cycle to get it together.  What does that look like?  Getting serious about reevaluating.  Whatever it is that you think has made you happy, unless you are Buddha, is probably not doing it the way it used to.  We are in an upward spiral of consciousness, and this turn is demanding that the useless be seen for what it is.  There have been hold ups, the kind we generally like to blame a retrograde Mercury for, but in this case, it's about values and attentive interaction more than paper pushing and missed communication.  Patience is always waiting for an opportunity to say "Look at Me"  and nothing brings her more center stage than a Saturn event.  Saturn is the voice that says, "Now hold on..."  as an admonishment to face reality as much as an attempt to hold down the ground.  This is where patience comes in, and not in the sense of enduring, but of abiding without judgement.  Saturn is moving from "I never forget a face" Scorpio to "Let's go out and play"  Sagittarius.  Play?  Saturn?  Saturn's idea of play means building a fort.  Out of stone.  So, what we are looking at next is a time of orderly growth, in the face of upheaval [ a couple of other planets, I'm not mentioning in this post] and all proceeds ticketyboo if the value systems have been reassessed beforehand.  You have until mid September.
