Monday, Dec. 19, 2005 A BRIEF blog before going to bed; I'll revise it in the morning. I just had a look at the chart for right now (it's about 1 a.m. Paris time) and noticed that the Leo Moon is about to go through the fixed grand cross. About once a week, this proves to be a source of a little adventure, intrigue or mild turmoil. The Moon makes the following aspects, among others, after opposing Chiron-Venus-Nessus, with a trine to Pholus earlier today, which got things rolling. The aspects in bold type are on the fixed grand cross. - Moon quincunx Uranus This rather unusually large number of lunar aspects bounces around over the next 22 hours or so, through Monday evening Eastern time. So take it easy and bring your cosmic umbrella to work in the morning. The Sun is still super tight on the Galactic Core and approaching the Capricorn ingress; that is in 72 hours from this writing, and for a lot of that time the Sun is void-of-course. Therefore, don't just act cool: be cool, drive cool, pay attention. Also we should all be praying for George Bush; I can tell you from his chart he's having a very hard time. The Moon is crossing his ascendant and rising planets (Pluto and Mercury in Leo, for instance) and conjoining transiting Saturn in his 1st house, while it makes all these other aspects...well, be glad it's not you. But hey, based on a simple reading of some ordinary astrological charts, I did promise you that the great oil dinosaur would stand up and do the Watusi. And we ain't seen nothin' yet. It's all going to make Nixon look quaint -- just like the Geneva Convention rules, only quainter. In other news, here is a good one. I was on the phone with Deirdre Tanton, the artist in Germany who is doing the cover art for Parallel Worlds, which we'll have for you soon enough (the cover, which tells lots of the story -- I'm still writing the content). Her seven year old son Lucas walked into the room and told her he wanted one more thing for Christmas: a monowheel. A what? This is what came back: http://www.dself.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/TRANSPORT/motorwhl/motorwhl.htm#1 Well, It's been an interesting day. Particularly the baby mouse running around my room the first day of my progressed Moon in Virgo. And on that note, it's time for bed...but not before the song is over -- my single favorite Grateful Dead recording: Dylan and the Dead from Giants Stadium, July 12, 1987, one song in particular (and I was there): "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again." I can't copy and past the guitar solos here, which he seems to be playing backward and forward at the same time, or the sound of people having these orgasmic bursts of uncontained ecstatic howling, or the incomparable sound of two hot drummers. But I can drop in some words. Now the bricks lay on Grand Street http://bobdylan.com/songs/memphis.html | ||||||
