A day late (but not a dollar short)---another illuminating report from Johannes Ayres...
THE METAVERSAL LIGHTCRAFT
HYPER-ABYSSIC ASTROLOGY FORECAST
AND LIGHT SPECIFIC YOGA PLATFORM
FIRST QUARTER MOON
-FIREWEEK-
August 4th to August 12th
This forecast has a fixed meaning that does not change, whether read out loud in a catacomb or read in silence in a control tower... The words grow here slick and filthy and unhindered by enterprise.
ATZILUTH, THE WORLD OF FIRE, THE SPIRIT BODY
The Leo solar energy field enveloped us when the Sun entered Leo. However, the New Moon in Leo starts us on our month-long Leo lunar cycle, what with its four elemental weeks, its Full Moon in Aquarius, its loads of experience upon experience, opportunities to fly, chances to fall. .The seed/ideas we have from the New Moon to the First Quarter Moon come from the kabbalistic world of Atziluth (Fire) and are the blueprints/seeds for everything that exists, has existed, and will ever exist in the physical world of Assiah (Earth), as an embodiment of the archetypal idealized apple (or a least the Core)... This next month is when we focus on developing those Leo qualities within ourselves. We'll learn how to apply/communicate the broad principles of the Leo/Aquarius axis. Leo focuses on the individual creative spark. Aquarius focuses on the creativity of the group. No sign is more concerned with rebellion, reform, and revolution than Aquarius. Will we plan for the future, or continue to run from the past? Will we be proactive or reactive? Use this time of increased light to envision and step into your future, giving yourself and others plenty of elbow room and being tolerant towards the full spectrum of humanity's eccentricity... we reconnect here.
To generate terrific monuments made of coloured sound and we storm the edifices of a dream more incredible than the blooming of a thousand hearts amplified through vacufazers at full speed. Retrograde Mercury conjuncts the Sun on August 5 - an alignment of ego and intellect that makes all thoughts seem important, whether they are or not. August 8 is colored by a Sun-Neptune opposition, the stuff of which dreams (or illusions) are made. Venus, Mars, and Pluto form three hard angles with each other on August 9 and 10; this is likely to intensify relationship issues. On August 12 and 13, retrograde Mercury backs into the picture with a semi-square to Venus and a square to Mars, provoking further discussion and re-evaluation of partnerships.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 4
This New Moon sets the light-specific stage, which indeed all the world is. The angel of dread has wrestled with the Lightpilot and brought her to her knees, and then - the lifting up into the light; until the sasquach stumbles upon the missle silo at dusk, until the Lion's Mouth is opened by gentle hands, until the secret of the Sphinx revealed, and then - the revelation of the Metaversal Harmony. Of course I'm talking 'bout the archetype of Leo - the King: long live the, kill the,...etc. The Lion-serpent sun sign, the power of Will, the quest for authenticity. Leo represents the period of development when as children we begin primary school, which is the first detachment from the family structure, where we learn to make relationships and satisfy the need to be loved in the world. Games provide a way to relate to others and they teach us to accept and make rules, the basis for being able to structure our lives (from 7 to 13 years old). On the World Scale, Leo is between 3,000 to 800 BC when both the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations flourished, when religion became monotheistic, where one being represented or was, God on Earth. The Time of Pharaohs and Kings, Lion images proliferated in architecture and monuments, for the Lion is of course, King of Beasts. With so much happening in Leo we may be seeking romance with a flare for the dramatic. The electric Sun itself, Leo calls on each of you to shine your light, your singular essence. No one else has seen through your fingertips, felt through your eyes, lived in your skin.
New Moon marks the end of one lunar cycle and the beginning of another. The last two lunations have been in the Work/home axis: What have you created in the realm of Aumland security thus far? This lunar cycle is about our personal creativity/group creativity : What will you create next for us? What will we create next for you? The weird yet revelatory nature of this Leo lunation is reinforced by Jupiter, the Holy Ice-cream vendor's good humoured sextile, and out of boundless Neptune, the surrealist's opposition to the Sun-Moon conjunction. Neptune blurs the boundaries of consensual reality, telling us that thinking does make it so; imagination is real, dreams are real, and there's always more than meets the eye. In Aquarius, the mythic God of the Sea helps us to see below the surface and recognize our commonalities. Uranus in Pisces is quincunx the New Moon in Leo, delivering a similar message: Don't be fooled by appearances. We're all stars now in the Lux show. Playfulness and creativity are plentiful, but a punishing square between Mars and Saturn suggests that restrictions may seem especially brutal for those who lose sight of their responsibilities.
The Sabian symbol for 13° Leo is:
"An old sea captain rocking himself on the porch of his cottage" - suggests that we could all benefit from some relaxation and self-reflection. Crafty Lightpilots will take some time around this New Moon to replay the movie of your life, watching for the lines you missed, the scenes you'd like to retake. Keep a pen and paper around to catch those gems of inspiration.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 5
If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. Mercury joins the Sun and sextiles Jupiter stimulating conversation and generating big ideas, like a shaggy muzzle of a perfunctory dispatch nuzzling your crotch and growling at the same time. Since the information planet continues to move retrograde, expect ideas that have been on the back burner to reappear now. A Mercury-Sun conjunction in Leo represents the tendency to express individual interests without regard for others. However, the Jupiter sextile to Mercury and the Sun increases social awareness, making it possible to widen the picture with outside input. A Venus-Neptune quincunx (16° 17' Virgo-Aquarius) in the morning is a subtle aspect that increases sensitivity to criticism. Vulnerability can be a gift when it opens the heart. Yet, if insecurity and self-doubt dominate, the Mercury-Sun conjunction is more likely to be expressed with rigidity and arrogance. Real confidence allows room for reasonable questions and discussion; fear is often sounded with the voice of absolute authority. Give yourself some retreat time today, and remember: I am a voice made out of chemicals and you can interrupt this dictation by rolling over onto your back then returning to the original position, if you can find it again. This resets the words as a lottery tumbler would shuffle tickets by the revolving of its drum.
Moon continues in Leo, and yesterday's eager energy spills over into today. Important things can be addressed. At 3:44 p.m. PDT, Moon goes VOC until 6:54 a.m. tomorrow. Nevertheless, during the VOC evening, Mercury has its retrograde meeting with Sun. Conjunctions are always seed-planting times, and now we plant seeds regarding the new Leo changes which we want to institute. Whatever calls you from outside the curtain can wait. You're here now, and ready at last to open your eyes. When you do, you'll see that Time is a soft jagged wave moving through you and Space is a malleable domain sculpted by perception. Rest assured: the voluptuous terror you feel swiftly gives way to splendour. The Metaverse is constantly giving us new and different opportunities. For example, Mercury retrograde in Leo, conjunct the Leo New Moon, and immediately followed by the retrograde Mercury-Sun conjunction, is an unparalleled opportunity for new heart growth, for a revival of our true centers. I've never noticed this before. It has got to be rare. For any planets between 11-16 Leo, this is a new lease on life. (This includes Bush's Pluto-his dictator complex--at 11 Leo. All of the New Moon's energies are still operative. Moon has moved along a bit, crossing Mercury, and now it has a very close trine with Pluto, showing that power can easily be expressed. This is a special opportunity for each of us to "get ourselves together," to figure out who we are and where we stand, and to express that self. Perhaps we are the Cowardly Lion who really did have courage. Suddenly you will re more awake than you've been since retiring from the womb. The secret phenomenological truth, encrypted against corruption at your birth but now transmitted lucidly across every synapse, is that the World is determined by imaginative volition. How much love can one being express? Now that this has been revealed, your purpose is clear. You might as well get used to it: YOU ARE A GLORIOUS NEW REALITY!
SATURDAY, AUGUST 6
The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Air and Activity, Yetzirah. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum. "Because your mine, I walk the line". Honor Saturn today by creating greater stability in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your base Chakra Today marks the 60th anniversaries of the US atomic-bomb attacks on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In Hiroshima, an estimated 80,000 people were killed in a split second. Some 13 square kilometres of the city was obliterated. By December, at least another 70,000 people had died from radiation and injuries. Three days after Hiroshima's destruction, the US drooped an A-bomb on Nagasaki, resulting in the deaths of at least 70,000 people before the year was out. Since 1945, tens of thousands more residents of the two cities have continued to suffer and die from radiation-induced cancers, birth defects and still births. A tiny group of US rulers met secretly in Washington and callously ordered this indiscriminate annihilation of civilian populations. They gave no explicit warnings. They rejected all alternatives, preferring to inflict the most extreme human carnage possible. They ordered and had carried out the two worst terror acts in human history. The exact sextile of the Sun and Jupiter on fosters a generous spirit that should be applied to oneself as well as others. At 6:54 a.m., the Moon enters Virgo, marking a shift away from the fiery creative impulse of Leo toward a more practical approach to life. A Venus-Saturn semi-square (45° angle of challenge) is aligned with Virgos more skeptical perspective. Ideally, this pair can help us to turn our hopes into reality. However, its easy to back away from newly emerged ideas; practicality can be an excuse for snuffing out our nascent dreams. Caution is called for, but it is best used in the service of creativity, not as a barrier against it. There are two reasons for this. One is a secret and the other is a lie. Our Metaversal thunderbolt of revelation resembles a corkscrew in more ways than One.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 7
With Moon still in Virgo, we continue to keep ourselves busy. Today we want to break out of routine, and do our own thing. It might be catching up on paperwork or reading, tinkering with things around the house, cooking up a great meal, or enjoying nature. If you live in Alaska, watch for the new Moon to cover Venus tonight just before sunset-an eclipse of Venus. However, it will be hard to see the pair close to the horizon. The Sacred Priest and Priestess, Fred and Ginger tap and glide around you, floating ubiquitously from hand to hand. The music peaks, the two lovers kiss, and you are set afloat down the stream ever so conveniently located right next to the hotel, thereby quickening your perception and access to your divine inheritance and sacred work. There is nothing flexible about the way you look at me between those big blue ice sculptures.
MONDAY, AUGUST 8
The Sun opposes Neptune (16° 12' Leo-Aquarius). Inspiration and imagination are the gifts of this aspect; dissipation of energy is its challenge. Individual will and self-interest face off against sympathy and compassion for others. The Sun in Leo is about the power of personal expression, but this power can be used foolishly without a sensitive reading of how others may react. The Moon entering the relationship sign of Libra at 7:08 p.m. increases our awareness of others and our desire for peace and sharpens our social and diplomatic skills. However, the need to objectify emotions can limit spontaneity and cause us to lose our way in our attempts to please people. Moon goes VOC at 3:09 a.m. PDT, and remains VOC until 10:08 p.m. tonight. Will we be rattled by Venus eclipse plus VOC moon? Especially since Moon and Venus are both moving in to square transformative Pluto? Most likely earthy Virgo Moon can help us to stay on course. Around Noon today, Sun and Neptune finally have their long- promised exact opposition. There is consciousness with an opposition, but with Neptune, that consciousness is apt to be an illusory dream. Neptune mystifies, and may well confuse, whatever it touches. Denial and escape are also major qualities of Neptune's touch. This is the major aspect of the month. We are talking now about the influences on the Sun. The Sun is the center of the solar system, the director of activities here on Earth. Clarity now is almost impossible.
Some bees may appear in the room shortly after your work is completed while you relax with a hash joint-we can't work out whats attracting them into the room. But what will be really strange is that one will suddenly sting you on the bum. How and why it got in your pants is a complete mystery! You take it as a sign to do the HML initiation ritual and we perform it this evening. Downsides include exaggerated fears, destructive lies, environmental damage, and extreme beliefs that lead to violence. When he claimed he would destroy the world with a lemon tart, did they put him away because they thought he was crazy or because they thought he might succeed? Potential positives (thankfully) can be the healing revelation of secrets or mysteries, transformation of our vision, and the presence of empowering teachers whose light lifts us out of the darkness. Kiss the Bushies goodbye and pin a note to your blazer: New Moisturizing HorseTM from the Devil®. It comes in the mail and it won't leave your walls hairy, or your arteries unburnished.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 9
A Mars-Pluto sesquiquadrate (135°) whips the air with intensity and passion. Although Libra likes compromise, the force of this Mars-Pluto connection works against cooperation; were likely to act as though theres only one possible path to follow. If anger arises, use it to clarify what you really want, so you can cut out activities that distract you from fulfilling those desires... leaning my face down next to yours, whispering strange words into your ears... sounding like some sort of archaic language, and something like the sharp razor tones of German words that make no sense whatsoever, but God! They do something to you... Slipping my tongue around your earlobe, in sweet soft little circles in between slow hot breaths... increasing in rate as I press against your body... Sensing my skin emanate that unbelievably hot boy-pheromone... feeling all that ultraconfident power and smug satisfaction in me up against you - I'll put you in the body of a lynx and I'll put you in the body of a raven. Maybe I'll even put you in the body of a wasp if you'll fit. God you are hot...
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10
Relationships may become even more complex today with a Venus-Pluto square (21° 58' Virgo-Sagittarius). Moon is in Libra. Libra represents the period from 23 to 42 years old, when partnerships are made and balance is sought between others and oneself. On the World scale Libra is between 400 and 1100 AD, when division of the church and state took over, and the Dark Ages swept over Europe and Asia. The opposition is symbolic of the fact that in order to emerge from the unconscious, internal conflicts must be brought out into the light of day. Marriage was the primary process through which opposing countries where integrated into a whole. With the Moon in Libra we are aware of our communal relations, law, justice and balance. The 7th house (Libra) has been called the house of marriage. The key to the New Aeon of MA'AT is figuring out the new symbol for Libra, as the institution of marriage was originally designed as a tool by the Church to secure it's future domination. Those that cannot find this new symbol and perform these symbolic rites on themselves and their tribe, and the whole fabric of material being, will inherit only the blues, decay, and husks. Think more in terms of partnership and remember, your heart must be light as a feather. Take this time to be good to your Libra ruled kidneys. These amazing organs filter some 400-500 hundred gallons of blood a day. Lemons, beets, cranberry juice and cabbage and leafy vegetables are all healing to your kidneys. We should not underestimate the power of Earthritual/ interlock/ and the focused magnetism of emotion. If we would like less catastrophic weather change, this is specifically the engineering we must learn. Like man, the weather participates or partakes of both Earth and Sky. These planet-wide weather up-heavals are literally and specifically, collective emotions. Only if we can emote collectively and braid our ecosystems with coherent emotion can we save our future. This is no arbitrary test for survival of our genepool. It is the perfect test. If we can learn to braid electrical space with the harmonics which love weaves, then we have passed the "ring pass knot" gate to the privilege of doing that same activity for the braid creation of star systems and galaxies with our similar but much unpacked and blossomed electrical bodies. Love is not just a good idea, it's the Law.
Venus and Mars are also sesquiquadrate today, describing increased awkwardness in personal relationships. The friction of conflicting values and contrasting methods can rub us raw and leave us dissatisfied. There is, however, a stream of creativity available to those who are willing to brush aside the debris of disappointment and look more deeply into themselves. Art and love both benefit from a willingness to accept the challenge of change and the need to face desires and dislikes that don't match old ideals. Romance can resurface when we change our behavior and expectations regarding relationships.Connect tonight with the zero point between Metaverse and Lightpilot through a moment of folded compassion. That timeless feeling that occurs when ones focus is completely in the present encompassing the folded space of the past and futures. As an iceskater who brings in her arms to speed up and have more spin, the thought tentacles that are brought from past and future to present and centered, concentrate intense spin AND AWARENESS. Here in the center of the lightening of spirit lies the infinite information hook-up which living cells require to survive. This electric fractal information con-centricitywhispers the meaning and direction of a "long-wave" context. The long wave connection to all that is.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 11
At 5:35 a.m. the Moon enters Scorpio, home sign of Mars and Pluto. This heats up the complex relationship issues that have been set aflame recently. Resentment may surface all too easily now. It can be useful to bring up these matters, but blame and shame arent helpful. Take a good look at what you want and what youre doing to get it. Maybe you're going after something out of habit rather than true desire. The kind of partnership that you seek has a price, but when you know you're aiming at the right target, you'll do what's necessary to get a bulls-eye. Letting go of old methods and styles of behavior could help to make this happen. We are starting to see that everyone we know, ever knew, and ever will know, are psychically linked to us through our emotional bodies. The stronger the emotion, the stronger the link. People can normal shut this fact out, particularly if their is much in them being repressed. Tonight, there will be no denying the cosmic connection between every living thing and each other. Some people will derive deep, spiritual significance from an ordinary everyday experience this evening, while others barely blink when a miraculous event happens before their eyes.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 12
There's a buzz in the air with Mercury quincunx Uranus. Conversations go askew, information comes to us at odd angles, and nerves grow taut. A Mercury-Venus semi-square at the same time makes communication edgy. Being open-minded helps us to react without snapping and to adjust to the unexpected with graciousness rather than anger. The Scorpio Moon forms a First Quarter square with the Leo Sun at 7:39 p.m.; this normally adds to the tension. However, Pluto's trine to the Sun suggests creative ways of avoiding a potential battle of wills.

When he claimed he would destroy the world with a lemon tart, did they put him away because they thought he was crazy or because they thought he might succeed? Potential positives (thankfully) can be the healing revelation of secrets or mysteries, transformation of our vision, and the presence of empowering teachers whose light lifts us out of the darkness. Kiss the Bushies goodbye and pin a note to your blazer: New Moisturizing HorseTM from the Devil®. It comes in the mail and it won't leave your walls hairy, or your arteries unburnished.

A Mars-Pluto sesquiquadrate (135°) whips the air with intensity and passion. Although Libra likes compromise, the force of this Mars-Pluto connection works against cooperation; were likely to act as though theres only one possible path to follow. If anger arises, use it to clarify what you really want, so you can cut out activities that distract you from fulfilling those desires... leaning my face down next to yours, whispering strange words into your ears... sounding like some sort of archaic language, and something like the sharp razor tones of German words that make no sense whatsoever, but God! They do something to you... Slipping my tongue around your earlobe, in sweet soft little circles in between slow hot breaths... increasing in rate as I press against your body... Sensing my skin emanate that unbelievably hot boy-pheromone... feeling all that ultraconfident power and smug satisfaction in me up against you - I'll put you in the body of a lynx and I'll put you in the body of a raven. Maybe I'll even put you in the body of a wasp if you'll fit. God you are hot...

Relationships may become even more complex today with a Venus-Pluto square (21° 58' Virgo-Sagittarius). Moon is in Libra. Libra represents the period from 23 to 42 years old, when partnerships are made and balance is sought between others and oneself. On the World scale Libra is between 400 and 1100 AD, when division of the church and state took over, and the Dark Ages swept over Europe and Asia. The opposition is symbolic of the fact that in order to emerge from the unconscious, internal conflicts must be brought out into the light of day. Marriage was the primary process through which opposing countries where integrated into a whole. With the Moon in Libra we are aware of our communal relations, law, justice and balance. The 7th house (Libra) has been called the house of marriage. The key to the New Aeon of MA'AT is figuring out the new symbol for Libra, as the institution of marriage was originally designed as a tool by the Church to secure it's future domination. Those that cannot find this new symbol and perform these symbolic rites on themselves and their tribe, and the whole fabric of material being, will inherit only the blues, decay, and husks. Think more in terms of partnership and remember, your heart must be light as a feather. Take this time to be good to your Libra ruled kidneys. These amazing organs filter some 400-500 hundred gallons of blood a day. Lemons, beets, cranberry juice and cabbage and leafy vegetables are all healing to your kidneys. We should not underestimate the power of Earthritual/ interlock/ and the focused magnetism of emotion. If we would like less catastrophic weather change, this is specifically the engineering we must learn. Like man, the weather participates or partakes of both Earth and Sky. These planet-wide weather up-heavals are literally and specifically, collective emotions. Only if we can emote collectively and braid our ecosystems with coherent emotion can we save our future. This is no arbitrary test for survival of our genepool. It is the perfect test. If we can learn to braid electrical space with the harmonics which love weaves, then we have passed the "ring pass knot" gate to the privilege of doing that same activity for the braid creation of star systems and galaxies with our similar but much unpacked and blossomed electrical bodies. Love is not just a good idea, it's the Law.
Venus and Mars are also sesquiquadrate today, describing increased awkwardness in personal relationships. The friction of conflicting values and contrasting methods can rub us raw and leave us dissatisfied. There is, however, a stream of creativity available to those who are willing to brush aside the debris of disappointment and look more deeply into themselves. Art and love both benefit from a willingness to accept the challenge of change and the need to face desires and dislikes that don't match old ideals. Romance can resurface when we change our behavior and expectations regarding relationships.Connect tonight with the zero point between Metaverse and Lightpilot through a moment of folded compassion. That timeless feeling that occurs when ones focus is completely in the present encompassing the folded space of the past and futures. As an iceskater who brings in her arms to speed up and have more spin, the thought tentacles that are brought from past and future to present and centered, concentrate intense spin AND AWARENESS. Here in the center of the lightening of spirit lies the infinite information hook-up which living cells require to survive. This electric fractal information con-centricitywhispers the meaning and direction of a "long-wave" context. The long wave connection to all that is.

At 5:35 a.m. the Moon enters Scorpio, home sign of Mars and Pluto. This heats up the complex relationship issues that have been set aflame recently. Resentment may surface all too easily now. It can be useful to bring up these matters, but blame and shame arent helpful. Take a good look at what you want and what youre doing to get it. Maybe you're going after something out of habit rather than true desire. The kind of partnership that you seek has a price, but when you know you're aiming at the right target, you'll do what's necessary to get a bulls-eye. Letting go of old methods and styles of behavior could help to make this happen. We are starting to see that everyone we know, ever knew, and ever will know, are psychically linked to us through our emotional bodies. The stronger the emotion, the stronger the link. People can normal shut this fact out, particularly if their is much in them being repressed. Tonight, there will be no denying the cosmic connection between every living thing and each other. Some people will derive deep, spiritual significance from an ordinary everyday experience this evening, while others barely blink when a miraculous event happens before their eyes.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 12
There's a buzz in the air with Mercury quincunx Uranus. Conversations go askew, information comes to us at odd angles, and nerves grow taut. A Mercury-Venus semi-square at the same time makes communication edgy. Being open-minded helps us to react without snapping and to adjust to the unexpected with graciousness rather than anger. The Scorpio Moon forms a First Quarter square with the Leo Sun at 7:39 p.m.; this normally adds to the tension. However, Pluto's trine to the Sun suggests creative ways of avoiding a potential battle of wills.
