Planet Waves Podcast: Venus Direct, Full Moon

Today’s podcast is ready — and it’s like a guided meditation/contemplation on Venus stationing direct tomorrow. This event emphasizes the question of resources: for example, affection and money, but really the inner resource that allow us to access everything from our emotions to our ability to acquire what we want and need — and to appreciate these things.

The station direct takes place at 4:17 pm EST on Thursday; adjust for your time zone please. If it’s easier, the event takes place at 9:17 pm Greenwich Mean Time.

I also take another look at the Sagittarius alignment gathering around the Great Attractor this week, which leads directly into the Taurus Full Moon on Sunday, Nov. 21 — one of several events that will take place right before the Sun changes signs. The Sun enters Sagittarius on Nov. 22.

The rest is in the audio…comments welcome and thank you for tuning in.

  1. I like the story about the welding glass (stone) and viewing venus against the sun. Beautiful, {{{watery}}} podcast, Star Child, our beloved astrolger and teacher, translatin’ the vibes. This is part of what makes thee stand out. Your podcasts always reflect the astro-climate — (just my hypnopinion)

    thanks for all you do, brother…

    xoxo

  2. All the tiny puzzle pieces came flying together today. Your audio was icing on the… Oh. Shoot. Mixing cliches AND metaphors.

    The past six weeks have been a microscopic (more intense, requiring more deep thinking) experience, echoing the past many months. The past five or six days all the more so, but with a flow I haven’t felt in years. Mixed in with key words you’ve used repeatedly. Then – wham! The big picture. The last piece involving the generational stuff, which at first flummoxed me until I just set it aside. Today it poured out. Fascinating.

    The audio? Well… Aside from being awesomely peaceful, it felt like simple confirmation and onward ho. Lovely. Especially the periscope. How apt. That’s exactly the way it feels out here.

    You made me giggle, though, re: darkness. Sunrise: 8:58. Sunset: 3:46. Six extra minutes of darkness every day until the solstice peak. Temp: Certainly not a cool autumn day at -21C. Crispy, crunchy, snow. The moon is glorious, with a giant halo. It kinda looks frozen. Like seeing it through ice, with light spreading out.

    I know this is a commercial and totally shrewd marketing. But I LOVE it. It’s only a minute long. Was shot in Inuvik, 1100 km up, up, up, where the sun does not rise for months. (And where it never sets for months.) The town must have been in happy uproar for days from this experience.

  3. Thanks for the reminder to sense the cosmos and not only think about it. Years ago I was deeply inspired by your description of having done experiments sitting in a cave and tuning into the planets. As my practice in martial arts and qi gong has deepened I’ve found the direct sensation of the presence of planetary forces right in my own body. Last night the clouds parted so I could see the Aries moon on my way to the weekly jam at a cafe down the street from where I live and felt most in the groove while maintaining simultaneous awareness of the moon and the core of Gaia. The Official Story would say it’s only psychological, but I think that’s just the Enlightenment’s fear of sensing anything vividly below the neck, a bad habit Science inherited from it’s mother, the Holy Monster Church. I also think that this kind of sensitivity opens us up to being able to sense the land that feeds us. Once you can feel the planets in the sky try extending that sensation down into Gaia’s core. This kind of perception I believe is necessary for the continued survival of humans. It’s lack is what has enabled civilization to murder so much in its mad drive to control everything.

  4. Well Mr. Fwancis, once again you are “sharing your wealth” (I believe I heart Jere for that line, am I right?) with one great podcast today, the “watery edition!” It contains quite a few nuggets of golden thoughts. I’ve captured a few inspiring ones to put into my new journal, no less!

    Let’s see: You say that the “conjunction of Neptune and Chiron is giving us the *ability* to perceive, while the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction is giving us *something* to perceive.” Great food for thought.

    Then your line: “Take that ride, and remember that the periscope that you’re peering out of, in your submarine, looks into YOU, into your inner consciousness, which is the way to navigate on this somewhat confusing plain of reality.” That line’s a keeper Eric — a work of art, a stroke of genius. So challenging on one level, yet it gave me goosebumps of comfort in tandem.

    Yeah people, stay. in. the. vortex. and tomorrow, I may just have on hand a “daycently” poured pint of Guinness, to toast lovely Venus stationing direct, with my fellow bunch of Wavers! (and let’s hope also that the energy building now, helps my dear old home country of Ireland pull back from the brink of a financial abyss.)
