THE WORLD OF YETZIRAH, THE ACTIVE BODY
-AIRWEEK FORECAST-
August 19th to August 25th
In where we utilize the powers of active Air, in the kabbalistic World of Yetzirah. This week represents the formative period of the elemental Lunar cycle. Go forth into the World and actively create the vision obtained last week in the Waters of Briah. As an exercise this week, cut the beards off three Customs Officers (for those living in the interior, Customer Service Representatives will do) and place their whiskers in the glove compartment of a stalled and abandoned car. If they don't fit, keep trying. Another way of distracting your Gaian Mind is to push zucchini through the mail slots of new neighbors while dressed as a bumblebee and singing the lyrics to 'What's New Pussycat'. Fringe benefit of this experimental behaviour: you'll be the secret envy of anyone who ever professed to know what you were going to do next. During the Aquarius Full Moon you can turn me to salt, dye me blue, and let the cows lick me into the homunculus of remorse, whence I will go about the countryside ejaculating Your name through kitchen windows. And the people will say, 'Look out, it's him again.' And, typically, there will be those among them who will say, 'Let's kick him to death.' And still others will countermand them, saying, 'No - let's just maim him and send him on his way.' Citizens and townsfolk, can you not see the sign around my diminishing neck? LOCK UP YOUR DOUBTERS: SHE IS RISEN, LIKE THE WOBBLY ROD OF MAN AS IT DOWSETH THE FLUIDIFEROUS CHALICE OF THE EMPERESS! THE EMPRESS.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 19
Full Moon at 27 Aquarius occurs at 11:53 a.m. PDT. Space curves, time spirals, infinity dances with eternity. Each month brings a Full Moon, and each one is different. With the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius, the spotlight is on our personal and social destiny - what we desire to express as individuals and what we are choosing to experience as Humankind. Enormous forces are massed against our individuality, forces that can steam roller-pidgeon hole us into dancing monkeys. Aquarius and conformity go together like peanut butter and motor-oil. The quest for the Self, who we really are, necessitates forsaking the familiar. Wax elf ears, ham-hocks, builders of bridges, trinkets - they all end in snakes or addiction; only you, with your gauche aromas and savoir faire, end up stumbling through the supermarket with an evacuated wasp nest on your head. We must transcend parental and social conditioning, herd and tribal consciousness. Each time we go beyond the bounds of convention, we gain a larger perspective and a greater ability to serve. It could have been otherwise but it wasn't. There are certain things we are meant to understand. They're trying to see if they can blow up the Full Moon without explosives, and they have plunked themselves down on the unmade seabed. That part I understand, but how did that lecherous porpoise seduce a horse? How they got here is anyone's guess.
This Full Moon illuminates where we are now - where we are challenging the status quo, where we are fighting the caca-dragons of fear, and where we are ready to give our gifts to the Metaverse. The house in your natal chart occupied by the transiting Sun in Leo spotlights the area of life where you are ready to play a starring role; the house position of the transiting Moon in Aquarius signifies where you are discovering more kinship and synergistic power with others. Full Moons are oppositions and illuminate the shadow side of each sign involved. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow. Leo rules the will of the individual; its shadow is self-centeredness. Aquarius rules the will of the collective; its shadow is hypocrisy. The insecure Leo demands an audience; the fearful Aquarian clings to alienation. This Full Moon casts light on where we are holding onto old defenses and the unconscious payoffs they offer. And when I am done my wanderings, I too will lie upon those dewavèd sands, crawled upon by starfish radiant beneath the earth's shadow, and there will I surrender myself to the first tongues of water, a salt doll waiting for its ocean.
The Sabian Symbol for 27 Aquarius is lovely:
"AN ANCIENT POTTERY BOWL FILLED WITH FRESH VIOLETS. The importance of traditional skills and artistic values deeply rooted in humans' deepest feelings as frames of reference for humans' most authentic emotions. Violets have often been considered symbols of modesty and humility-values which were understood to be the mark of true womanhood. DELICACY OF FEELING."
After her magnificent fullness, Moon goes VOC until she enters Pisces at 6:52 p.m. Musick would be just right tonight.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 20
This is a great day to connect with, appreciate, and seek to understand nature in all her mysterious complexity. She is, after all, our mother and our lifeline. This Full Moon window, in the month of the August, is the perfect time to contemplate and to honor all of nature. So why have these words come to you? That's easy: to fill your waterbed with electric eels. It's a tradition borrowed from the Romans, our nextdoor neighbours who taught me bridge. I eventually got even with them by teaching their cat to piss whenever they changed channels. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's wicker.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 21
Between dark and light the angles of times are best manifest at their balance, so invoke Apollo, Ra, or the baby-faced Sun god from the Teletubbies into your heart Chakra today. Sunday is always a good day integrate all the planets in our personal Lightcraft. In the World of Yetzirah, Air, the Lightcraft is analogous to the active aspect of the psychological body, or for simplicities sake, let's call it Psyche. In the physical body (in Assiah) there are infinite subdivisions down to the frontier of the physical world, where the particles of matter and impulses of energy are interchangeable. In the same way, the Psyche interpenetrates the body so that the upper part of the physical world percolates and influences the lower part of the psyche, and vice versa. In the macrodimensions of the Metaverse, a crisis can generate a direct contact with the Sun in Yetzirah (Psyche) but after the crisis, the connection fades, and the watcher in oneself fades back into the subconscious. The Lightpilot seeks to consciously make permanent connection with the Sun in Yetzirah. This is done by constant observation of actions, emotions and intellect, to perceive impartially the way those functions operate, and to correct and perfect their performance so as to become a true seething. To be the big picture, complete in all its parts. This is a free day, ours to spend as the spirit moves us. Moon is VOC until 4:01 p.m. PDT, and it is in go-with-the-flow Pisces. Let intuition rule. When he claims he will destroy the world with a bucket of fish heads, will they put him away because they think he is crazy or because they think he might succeed? Even above water there are secrets at the heart of Nature that'd make you weep in agony.
MONDAY, AUGUST 22
Projecting Light Specific purple or octarine (a particular shade of electric pinkish purple) into your forehead and facing West, activate the Ajna Holographic Image Projection System (third eye), then invoke blessed Gabriel. Diana, or Sailor Moon into your Brow Chakra. It's the Moon's day in the week of active Air and the body in motion. The lunar orb being receptive and reflective, focuses the qualities of the signs and other planets to our personal Lightcraft. The Lunar center, and its intimate connection with the Holographic Image Projection System, is not only the foundation for the astral plane, but is the fiery aspect of astral energy itself. The Sun rises with our Lady Luna in rambunctious Aries, and we may be up early and on the go. Late today, Sun enters Virgo, and after that we simply cannot sit still. Virgo represents the period from 13 to 23 years old, when mental growth dominates our lives and many attend institutes of higher learning. Many binding choices are made and the rules and details of society are learned. On the World scale Virgo is between 800 BC and AD 400, when classical civilizations like Greece and Rome flourished, when culture, science, philosophy, politics dominated. By AD 300 the Books of the New Testament were chosen to support the beliefs of the Christians who formed the political organization of the Church. The naive excepted the surface value, while initiates were forced to hide (occult) their rituals and teachings. Until now. Even above Earth, there are secrets at the heart of Nature that'd make you laugh till you stopped.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 23
The Day of Mars in the Week of active Air, finds the red planet in earth oriented Taurus. Our psycho-sexual Martian juice can be used now to focus wellness in our bodies, create foundations in our lives or this same energy can turn back on itself in a destructive, distorted shadow play which causes our descent into the turbulent waters of emotional repression. Which way you gonna go? I say, go forth boldly into the world today and actively create the future. Avoid petty conflict over ownership of material objects these days. The underside of everything is in short supply. You yourself may become overly touchy when it comes to your body. Only then will the provisional gods you've held behind plexiglas step forth with new recipes for vegan spare-ribs, and heaven knows what other wonders. Tear down the pyramids and let whales dine on the mummies of kings! Watch out for petty ego problems along these lines. Is your Martian energy burning like a fuel tank on a crashed jet in the desert? Or burning like a sputtering flame on a wet candle? Or burning steady like a presto-log in the hearth of the Almighty? It all depends on the quality of your fuel, and the proper fuel/air ratio. When your body (93 percent seawater) is nourished by fiery insight, MA'AT has been achieved. Then your fire is not frightening and lethal, but glowing with placid contentment. The Moon joins Mars in Taurus late this evening and remains there until the early morning hours on Friday, transmitting the mysteries of intimacy, receivership, beauty, and aesthetics.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24
The waning disseminating Moon is conjunct Mars (14 Taurus) near the astrological cross-quarter - between the Autumnal Equinox and the Summer Solstice - known as Beltane. The duo will be visible about four hours after Sunset in the East North East (ENE) area of the sky. We are now experiencing the final integration phase of the current Mars cycle completing the quest for those vegan spare-ribs. Everything must go. The monkeys saw this coming and stayed in the trees, but now they descend to raze our mini-golf shrines and cut loose our pets from their leashes within and answering the question of how to truly help and heal? The new Mars quest is to discover a true experience and understanding of beauty, sacred pleasure and intimacy as not only an art form but also an important aspect of the evolutionary path to lacework nerve-cathedrals of confounding microcircuitous elegance, fabulously vivid and animated beyond belief.
A new paragraph has begun, right on cue. It has three sentences but one of them is missing.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 25
Mercury (15 Leo) squares Mars (15 Taurus) in the range of two cross-quarter points. Mercury is at the Lammas or Lughnasah cross-quarter between the June Solstice and September Equinox. Mars is located at the Beltane cross-quarter between the March Equinox and the June Solstice. Mercury in Leo symbolizes the quick intuitive expressions of mind. Mars in Taurus is learning to savor and enjoy the fullest pleasures of beauty and intimacy. This timing for up to two days before and after today may produce restlessness to get things done more quickly. Releasing any addictions to results (especially rapid results) is helpful and may alleviate potential conflicts and anger that ultimately are beyond our control anyway. Using the energy of this timing can be productive and inspired when we remember to be grateful for what IS and what it is teaching us about ourselves. If we allow irritation, anger, impulsive reactions, and pressure to get things accomplished quickly to drive our actions then we set ourselves up for disappointment and even possible injuries. Enjoy and savor the moment whenever possible. A single missed opportunity could make subjects nail goldfish to doorjambs, a second could make them cranky and a third stimulates the appetite to such an extent you'd better knock their heads together quick as a flash.
'Johannes', you might snort, 'you just write the first thing that comes into your head, don't you...
