Battlestar Galactica season 2 finale

Frakkin' mindblower of a season finale tonite on Battlestar Galactica. I won't ruin it by creating any spoilers here, but I had to just exclaim somewhere very loudly. The writing on this show is absolutely stellar. One last thing without giving up what happened on tonite's episode--they certainly know how to keep a secret. Wow...

If anyone out there reading this is still on the fence about watching Battlestar, if you are a die-hard sci-fi fan you will not hesitate any further. Those who don't have cable, you can already get/rent the dvd's of the first two seasons, and by the time you've caught your breath from those, season three will be released. Without a doubt, a truly incredible series.

How are we ever going to survive the long wait until season four begins (2008, yikes!) At least the new season of Doctor Who starts this summer, better than nothin'.

Ok, you may all go back to your regularly-scheduled programming now. Rant over.

YETZIRAH The World of Air
-AIR WEEK-
Third Quarter Moon
MARCH 3 to MARCH 10 (*report only through the 6th)

It’s Airweek, 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. I say unto you: it would be easier for a western screech owl to throw a javelin through the hole of a rolling doughnut at a distance equivalent to the length of three soccer fields than it is to get a Virgo to not focus on the details. Virgo figures things out; Pisces just knows. That knowing - often discounted in our linear, logically oriented culture - comes in most clearly when we are in a receptive state. Huge breakthroughs in consciousness can occur around this Full Moon, if we ask for them and make time for them to come through. Full Moons illuminate what was initiated at the last New Moon. With Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius, closely conjunct the Sun in Pisces, we continue to feel the pressure to break free from stale, static thinking and programming. Changes happen very rapidly, and only then will the provisional gods youve held behind plexiglas step forth with new recipes for meringue soufflé, and heaven knows what other wonders.

Lunar eclipses are the producers of radical change in our lives. When a lunar eclipse touches an important angle or planet in your chart, you should expect your life to move in a different direction. A lunar eclipse often removes something from your life to make room for new developments. Change can be a difficult process if we have to put something about our past behind us. Your nature is to hold onto what is comfortable and familiar to you. This lunar eclipse may bring a sudden event that takes you out of your comfort zone. Situations pop up out of the blue and throw us off guard with little time to prepare or plan our next move. Psychic empathy promotes emotional literacy this Full Moon. But what does that mean? On one level, it's beyond words (Mercury is retrograde in Pisces, home of my natal hermetic virtuosity, also known as extreme, awakened savoring.) Uranus is the wild card, the God of Chaos, the energy of the electrick boogaloo and lightning sprites. Things may appear suddenly with Uranus around, but when we take a closer look, we see that the storm clouds have been gathering for a while.

Ouranos was the Hellenic god of Heaven itself, of infinite potentials. Traveling through Pisces, Uranus cleaves through old concepts like an arctic icebreaker on amphetamines, transporting us into a more fluid awareness and experience of life. For all intents and purposes, we could be put in the shark tank diving-bell – but we'll get a hell of a lot more out of this experience, I guarantee you. Uranus orbits far beyond Saturn, past the bounds of physical reality, showing us what is beneath and beyond the reach of our ordinary senses. Uranus in Pisces opens our third eye, increasing our ability to perceive energy and other dimensions of consciousness. As Uranus makes his passage through Pisces (from March 2003 to March 2011), the lines between the realms of Lightcraft and Metaverse are blurred. We will hear the foghorns of ghostships. We can see through crystal windows, gigantic manta rays surging through primordial waves in a sea blasted by silent lightning, as the unseen becomes visible, as strange new technologies and virulent new pathways of perception become available. The ultimate spectacle of sheer menacing horror and pranksterish delirium.With Uranus opposite the Moon in Virgo, we're more keenly aware of the real nature of spirit and matter - that they are one and the same. Just as we are aware of being a constituent of our family, tribe, country, solar system, and metaverse so our cells, tissues, and organs are conscious participants in the various systems of our body. The high voltage of this Full Moon requires us to pay special attention to our diet and find ways to ground the rarefied signals that Uranus is transmitting this week.

SATURNSDAY MARCH 3
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 with the mantrum. "Because your mine, I walk the line." With it being the beginning of activity oriented Airweek, 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’s Total Eclipse of the (Full) Moon (13° Virgo at 3:17 p.m.) is unique because it is at least part of it is visible from every continent in the world. Observers on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. will see the moon partially eclipsed as it rises, on the west coast only the final shadow will be visible; the eclipse is centered over Nigeria and Cameroon, where unrest has been escalating for months, and will be full visible throughout Africa and Europe.

Eclipses always come in pairs, one Lunar, one Solar. The first sets the stage for the long-term changes that will start taking hold when the second arrives about two weeks later. Hyper-abyssic astrology tells us that the effects of lunar eclipse last as long in months as they do in minutes, up to 6 months. Research has proven that an eclipse may change your life permanently. Look for developments within one month to the day of this eclipse. Some Virgo’s could see a development related to this eclipse when Mars contacts the eclipse degree in Pisces on or around April 24th. If your birthday falls within 5 days on either side of September 3rd, you will feel this eclipse more than others. This is a powerful lunar eclipse that will pack the punch of a triple full moon on your chart and on two of the most sensitive angles in your horoscope. For you Virgo, your 1st/7th houses are influenced. This lunar eclipse will pinpoint important transitions for yourself and your partnerships. Let’s look at a few examples. This lunar eclipse may point to something changing in your partner’s life; therefore it affects you and your family. The Sun and Uranus will square Jupiter in your 4th house of home, property, and family concerns. Whatever happens to your partner could cause shifts in your home. There could be a job change which could result in a move. There could be a job loss which could result in other adjustments in your home and family situation. Whatever happens could catch you by surprise. Please keep in mind that when Uranus gets involved in the planetary lineup, not only does it cause sudden developments, but it can also upgrade what it touches. In your situation, Uranus is adding influence to your home and family circumstances. Our Lightcrafts are being rewired so they can hold higher vibrations and access larger dimensions of reality.

During periods of accelerated growth, extra nutrients are necessary for building new structures. This makes eating whole foods rather than processed products more important than ever. Upload everything you think you are onto the great web in thye sky and let this Full Moon suck away the dross and clutter of this virulent cultural undermind rampant with dubious sampled notions of War-Pigs and faux-calicos and half-digested leftover memetic visions. Only then will the dragonflies venture to mate on your scalp. Tear down the pyramids and let whales dine on the mummies of kings! 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. Leave a note for them: There is porn in the fridge, pixies beneath the pillows, and twenty-four hours of hardcore oven-ready love on forever and ever, while supplies last. If you have been living in a difficult committed relationship and not making progress, the lunar eclipse can push you out of this relationship in the coming months. This could certainly change home and family matters for you. You don’t have to know how it will happen, the Universe will take care of the how and when. You may be the one that leaves, or you may be surprised that your partner is the one to initiate action. If you are happily married, there is no reason to worry that your partner will leave you, the energy will probably manifest in another way for you. Business agreements, court cases, contracts related to work or a service you provide could be touched by this eclipse.

The lunar influence shows that an end is near. This is not a career eclipse, but it could point to something going on in your life, or your partner’s life which will go through some sort of transition or overhaul. Again, Uranus is pointing to family matters and home related issues. Finances are not influenced during this time for Virgos. Partners and partnership themes dominate. Imagine knowing that Uranus can catch you off guard at any moment, over the next six months, but you don't know exactly when -- or how -- he'll strike. That's gotta suck, Virgo, because I know you like things just so. And do you know what's worse? There's absolutely nothing you can do about it. You can't tell him to go away. I mean, you can, but it will do no good. He'll say, "Oh, my bad. I'll leave you alone with your organic acai juice," but he doesn't mean it. He's just screwing with you! So, what can you do to impose order on chaos? Unfortunately, you can't contain the uncontainable. As the astrologers say, "Expect the unexpected." Yet I know you're not going to stop your Virgo ways. You will continue to enter appointments into your Blackberry, consult with your nutritionist, meet with your personal trainer. But as hard as you try, everything will not go as planned. Pisces wants you to let go, and Uranus wants you to identify and dismantle all the rigid structures and attitudes in your life. Loosen up! Because if you don't, Uranus will be the lightning that strikes down the tower of your carefully constructed life. It will come crumbling down ... but that's a good thing, because these bricks and stones you've laid are covering over your Authentic Self, and the only way to release your alive, thumping heart -- the beating Self constrained by your stratified ways of protecting yourself against Disorder -- is to allow the waves of revolution to wash over you.

This lunar eclipse occurs at 13 Virgo. If you have a personal planet or angle between 10 and 18 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces, this eclipse will have a powerful impact on you. For everyone, look to the houses that contain the middle degrees of Virgo and Pisces to determine which areas of your life will be affected. Jupiter in Sag is making a T-Square to this eclipse, which exaggerates an already unstable situation..

The Sabian symbols offer provocative clues. For the Moon at 13 Virgo:
“A powerful statesman overcomes a state of political hysteria; the focusing of the collective need for order and structural interdependence into a personage who incarnates the answer to this need.” For the Sun at 13 Pisces: “An ancient sword, used in many battles, is displayed in a museum; through the effectual use of his will a consecrated man can become a symbol of courage for all those who follow in his footsteps.”

Who will rise to prominence on the waves of this set of eclipses?

SUNDAY MARCH 4
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. The concurrent trine and t-square described yesterday continue. Visionary ideas regarding your future may appear from out of the deep blue and inspire as well as help in routing that future backwards to where you are now. The truly brilliant connections come from sharing these discoveries with others. However, glamour and illusion may masquerade as truth and attempts at warping reality will open emotional floodgates. Excessive idealism may cause a feeling of being "let down" by someone. Beware of unfounded fears or sensitivity. At 10:56 p.m., Moon goes Void of Course following a square also to Pluto, which is still nagging Mercury a bit, trying to hurry along some direct communication.

MONDAY MARCH 5
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. Moon enters Libra at 1.25 a.m. Sun conjuncts Uranus at 7:35 a.m., setting the tone for the day. It’s wise to be sure you have Plan B at the ready, and maybe Plan C too. You may find yourself doing or saying things that surprise even yourself. Embracing the long view and go-with-the-flow flexibility are key now.

TUESDAY MARCH 6
The Day of Mars in the Week of active Air, finds the red planet in Aquarius. Martian juice can be used now to achieve balance in our relationships with others 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. The Libra Moon makes harmonious aspects all day. 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 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.
