Good Morning!
The Moon is void of course in Sagittarius right now. If you’re on the East Coast are having a moment of trying to get yourself motivated and cannot understand why you can’t, this is one potential astrological cue. The Moon will be/will have ingressed Capricorn by about 9 am ET and we’re in a new phase; of the Moon conjunct Pluto all morning, then trine Ceres; and then making square to Venus much later in the day. This is some potentially agitated/needy type of energy and if that is how you feel I would propose that is just fine.
The real story continues to be told by the developing conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius. They are concentrated together in a little over one degree of space. The focal point is currently a near miss (close but not quite conjunction) between Chiron and Neptune on May 31; the exact conjunction, occuring one time only, is in February.
Then there is one more near miss next year and then it does not repeat until the mid-2090s. Here is an excerpt that sums it up pretty well. This little database came through during a phone call with my friend Amanda a few weeks ago, so her energy imprint is in the mix.
I’m not going to use block quotes because it turns the type gray and makes it more difficult to read. So the quote from Planet Waves Astrology News about three weeks ago begins here:
Aquarius is involved directly. Therefore, the line we who are called upon to help will have to cross is some measure of going public. This does not mean being on Oprah. It does mean being known for who you are and what you do without fear, trepidation or egotism, and working with people who may not be directly familiar to you. That takes a special kind of trust. With Aquarius there is always public contact, and when we are in integrity that means a measure of public accountability.
This is frightening to a lot of people because we tend to confuse our conditioned, convoluted sense of being sinners with actually being wrong. We were all taught to divide our psyches against ourselves, and those inconsistencies can feel terrifying if suddenly the spotlight touches our individual existence, our ideas, our work, and so forth. There is a lot to learn in being exposed, and one of the things you can learn is developing consistency.
The Chiron-Neptune conjunction is a warm-up, or rather, an exercise in paying attention to the fact that it is already happening. You could also call this a pre-2012 healer training program. Part of the training is in how to deal with extra potent doses of consciousness; part is processing and applying the healing gifts that many of us have been working toward for so long. Part is others who have delayed starting the process now, in earnest, and taking advantage of celestial speedup to make up for lost time. You can, if you are sincere and you bear in mind what you don’t know.
Aquarius says that this is about all of us, and that it’s about how each of us relates to the larger circle of society around us. Pisces is directly involved in this process because of the presence of Jupiter and Neptune, the traditional and modern rulers of that sign respectively. Sagittarius comes in via Jupiter and Chiron. And we have one last link — Uranus in Pisces is in mutual reception with Neptune in Aquarius.
It would appear that we are opening up an accessible common space on one or more of the higher dimensions that is an actual meeting point. Kind of like the Internet appeared, we are defining and opening a space of psychic reality where can meet, facilitate our work, speed up our learning and enjoy some freedom for recreation and play (essential in any deep evolutionary and healing process). We have, with some restrictions, the ability to be more available to one another, aware of one another, and free to engage one another. By restrictions I mean that when you start to make direct contact with these levels of existence, there is only so much fear and polarization you can bring with you. It would be chaotic and potentially quite dangerous if you could, so basically you have to check a lot of baggage at the door.
If you are someone who maps out the planes of consciousness, I think this is happening not on the astral or causal levels, the two most accessible to normal waking consciousness, and two of the most hotly polarized; but rather on what is commonly called mental plane. This is not mental in the sense of thoughts and ideas but rather mental in the sense of the psychic latticework that supports the commonly accessible ideas and thoughts we experience the rest of the time. Some call this level 6D. So far as I’ve mapped it out, it’s like an engineering level where we develop the architecture of the succeeding planes of reality, that is, the causal, astral and physical. Really good astrology happens in 6D and what an astrologer does is gently transpose that information to the denser experiences of 4D (astral) and 5D (causal or intellectual).
For one thing this astrology is the perfect blend of three signs: Sagittarius, Aquarius and Pisces. We could say a lot about this alchemical mixture. For now I will leave it at this, an idea that popped out of the ethers late Friday night when I was on the phone with my friend Amanda; so her energy is in the mix here.
Patty, I think you might be on to something. . about conjunctions triggering ideas from past lives in a new “idea” birth chart. Maybe there really aren’t any truly new ideas at this point. For example, in the Kitty Hawk chart Mars and Saturn are conjunct where the north node has been and still is now(4-6 Aquarius). As I write this, the shuttle crew is preparing to make repairs to the Hubble, something never attempted before if I’m correct. (maybe they’ve already started, haven’t seen any news today). Then there is the Sun, Uranus, Juno cluster around the Galactic Center. You know there had to be some “previous” knowledge from there(GC) that was utilized consciously in the Kitty Hawk flight. That still leaves the Venus/Pallas conjunction in the 1903 chart to be explored. Perhaps Eric’s article has something on it. Anybody know of any new attempts regarding flight that activates the 8-9 degree region of Scorpio?
mystes – thanks for the support; have half a mind to do what you did. . sit on the balcony during one of the downstairs get-togethers, fully dressed of course, and see if they even notice me!
victoria, has the way communication is achieved changed, or what is being communicated changed? or both? or with whom?
bkohler, I don’t know about pre 2012 healer program, but I feel communication changing in my world.
Mystes, funny you mention Terrier! We aren’t sure – he’s a mix of some sort but my brother says part terrier. He’s a little dog, and light on his feet!
I was curious about the birth of the idea of flight. I think conjunctions precipitate this sort of thing – good or bad. maybe the conjunction triggers a past life memory from another planet or an ancient civilization, like Atlantis. Maybe the ideas aren’t ‘new’? Like the collider in Switzerland – Eric mentioned it too.
The makemake articles were awesome!
Just ducking in for a moment, pals and dolls. Madame Koehler, will you be my neighbor? I live behind a couple of rockers, around the same age as your S’return boy, with all the same propensities:smoke(smokeandmoresmoke), etc. . . except they truly do love the wildlife in our common yards. But sometimes the extravagant 4 a.m. punkage throws me into spasms.
My solution has been to walk out, sit on my porch (dressed? who knows?) and wait till someone notices I’m there. “Okay, I’m up, so what do you want?” Deer-in-headlights-look. “No really, is there something I can do for you, now – at 5 a.m.? A sandwich perhaps? Or maybe you’d prefer a bit of Vogon Poetry?” This usually leads to much slinking into house and soft slamming of back doors.
I wish you great luck. It can be harder than it sounds – I’d almost recommend that you wait till Merc & Saturn are trotting along together and Neptune starts doing the cuban zlide (well, half of it anyway). Maybe we can figure out a way to rig a throne that you can raise and lower to his balcony…

Patty, yeah, he feels like a Jack. Is he a little terrier? I saw a picture of a pound puppy, mixed breed terrier the other day, and it really hit me. Just wondering. . .
***
aNnAt(o!) yeah, me you too, baby. You can be mine if I’m yours.
(Listening to Chrissie Hynde right now:
“I was feeling kind of ethereal.
‘Cause I’m precious.
I got my eye on your imperial.
You’re so precious.
Now, Howard the Duck and Mister Strausbow Straid:
Precious.
Trapped in a world that they never made.
But not me, baby – I’m too precious.”
So, are we up to our elbows yet?
Life to Smoochey!

Patty, thanks for advice (do want to invite him up for lemonade or something) and love the name Jack for the pup. On another note, in your earlier entry, you quoted Wilbur Wright, which sent me on another one of those investigations through PW archives.
Yesterday I received my July copy of Dell Horoscope magazine and the lead story was about Vesta and Capt. “Sully’s” chart. There had been quite a lengthy discussion here about the “Miracle on the Hudson” as I recalled, and I wanted to compare what we knew then in January to what Michael O’Reilly’s article revealed now in May. Talk about bird stories, I really got my cage rattled! I was looking for the story Eric had written that mentioned the Wright brothers, and when I found it, it led me to the chart for the “first” flight of the Kitty Hawk. The following is a partial list of awesome statistics:
1. Vesta (symbol of protection)was square Jupiter(luck), but trine Pluto (death) on the day (1/15/09) of the river landing. Vesta in Sully’s chart is sextile Jupiter and trine Mercury. In the U.S. chart, Vesta is at 19 Taurus, within a degree or so of where Sedna (of deep water fame) has been for some time, and where the Sun was at last Friday’s full moon. The Kitty Hawk chart has Vesta (protection) at 28+ Taurus, trine the Moon (people) at the time of the Hudson River landing, and trine the U.S. Pluto.
2. On the day of the Hudson River landing (1/15), we were talking about Makemake from a story by Genevieve Salerno; you might remember that. Makemake was at 25 Virgo that day, conjunct Saturn (21 Virgo) and the Moon (28 Virgo). He also was conjunct Neptune (water, spiritual) at 22 Virgo in the U.S. Chart as well as trining Pluto. He was also in trine to Vesta in the Kitty Hawk chart. Makemake is a god with the head of a bird and body of a man and is represented by sea birds. Makemake is about communication, fast communication, and he was trine the Sun on the day Sully landed his plane. Do you remember how we listened to his radio communication with the airport that day?
Anyway, the connections between then and now through Vesta, Makemake, the Full Moon, the Kitty Hawk flight, the U.S. chart and many others are extraordinary, and have me on data overload. All the birdmen gods down to the little baby sparrows being fed by their mamas are sending messages to be contemplated and as well, I presume, their gifts from the higher, spiritual dimensions. I hope my kitty doesn’t catch one when I’m not looking!
Hello BKoehler,
Puppy’s name is ‘Jack’ more like a Jack Sparrow type than a cry-baby. I suspect he cried from homesickness and being homeless and out in a driving rain all night, but he’s an adventurer at heart. We are settled in now.
It is thoughtful of you to work to limit the bird droppings onto your neighbor’s patio, and the overtures should help. Putting myself in his place, I don’t think I’d want the bird droppings either, but I would not want to interfere with your daily birdwatching! It is such a simple pleasure really. Perhaps you could invite him for tea and cookies at a time when the birds are feeding. Do you have one of those outdoor speaker systems where you can listen to the sounds indoors? I always love going to our local nature habitat where we can observe the birds from behind a large glass window, and listen to the sounds. How relaxing! He could always wire a speaker up to his apartment too. If your netting works and doesn’t cause further health issues, then I hope for your sake that he accepts the fix. I don’t know how high up you are, but is there a possibility of installing birdfeeders on the grounds where you live? It wouldn’t be the same thing though. My invalid brother always fed the birds at his house – it was one of the things we had to keep up for him, but his neighbors complained about the bird droppings all over their cars too. I was going to give him some wind-chimes once and he refused them and said the neighbors would probably just call the police, and say “he has chimes!” An exaggeration but shows how intolerant people are.
Well good luck!
Patty . . .loved your puppy story and can’t wait to hear what you name him. Maybe has a Cancer Moon (cry-baby, crab walks [can’t take a direct path], and loves kids)?
I have a “going public” story. Won’t take long. I have an upstairs condo, and my dear friend for 15 years who died a couple of years ago, lived below. We both had cats and they all loved to watch the birds that would come to feed on the seed we left them each day. Now a young man (Capricorn, 29 & “Saturn Return Ripe”) lives there. I will be 70 in less than 8 weeks, and although he can be most engaging, we, not surprisingly, have different values.
He doesn’t like birds, and when birdseed and/or birdshit gets on his balcony, he feels God is against him. I’ve tried make-shift ways to prevent that from happening, but since he almost burned my balcony down last fall with his un-attended flaming grill (which I put out, but he doesn’t know for sure because he wasn’t fucking there!) my attempts to pacify him have diminished greatly. He’s unpopular with the other owners due to loud, noisy, drunken parties and friends, so he feels he has nobody to turn to, I’m sure. I’ve not ceased feeding the birds as I feel that it’s part of God’s plan for me.
Enter Chiron-Neptune conjunction (not to mention Jupiter or Full Moon opposed my Uranus) and the growing realization that the universe has put us together for a reason. Without bogging this entry down with too many (but relevant anyway) details about this young man’s life (it’s my confession, not his!) I knew I was to rise to a higher level (no pun. . .honestly!) and try to help him through his Saturn return and Pluto conj. his Sun (don’t know when that is exactly), starting by being a better neighbor.
Receiving a thought via the galaxy I got on the internet and bought some fiberglass screening, some mosquito (really “noseeum”) netting, wrote my young neighbor a note, stuck it in a funny card and left it at his front door. Yesterday (“agitated/needy type of energy”). My note informed him of my plan to create a large tea strainer from my balcony (inside which the birds could feed) and the netting – an extra precaution – he could swag, if he wanted to, as a ceiling lining (p.s. it also will cut back on the amount of smoke – cigarettes and grill – I get) otherwise I will use upstairs. I also offered to buy some new deck furniture as his belonged to my deceased friend & was almost 20 years old. I invited him to participate in this project if he liked, noting he probably had some great ideas. (yeah, right)
I await his response, along with the screening.
So, do you think this qualifies as a pre-2012 healer training program? It sure does “open up an accessible common space” Thank you for reading my “expose’ ” and would enjoy any advice and/or comments you might have.
The discourse here equals, and surpasses the regular content. What would I do without y’all? Mystes, I am your humble disciple.
xxxa
Patty,
I have 13 minutes to get out of the door, but wanted to throw you a Hug to share with the K9dogkitty. Cheers! (and scratchies behind the Ears!)

Hey Mystes,
I’m taking cues from an adventurous puppy that was dumped at my house on May Day. We found him curled up in the soaking rain, crying. He couldn’t bark for 3 days for the sore throat from crying. He’s probably a little sagitarrius, because he takes every unusual route possible in house, our yard, and the neighborhood. I’ve already met two neighbors I didn’t know before because of him. Instead of taking a regular path from my greenhouse to the house, he climbs up over two pallets and an old chair that is perched on top; in the house, he does the same – climbing around the tops of the furniture (we shoo him off but it really cramps his style). He can run around the railing of my deck like a cat, turn around, lay down and take a nap on the 5 inch wide board. I think he would be a good circus dog, but we are keeping him because we don’t know what he’ll do next. The children next door play with him so that helps with the energy crisis we are experiencing from trying to keep up. When he hears children playing, he is off like a shot. We need to lock him down but it sure would cramp his lifestyle. Good thing we live in the country. He’s a little dog – that someone probably couldn’t afford to keep, and this is the first time I’ve ever been glad that someone dumped their dog in my yard.
nance, just a thought, I feel a shift out of the ‘self help’ mania to the the ‘help self’. My leftover ‘do your own thing’ craze might be shifting to ‘do the right thing.’ That’s personal to each individual to decide. I am mulling too.
Eric et al… “We have, with some restrictions, the ability to be more available to one another, aware of one another, and free to engage one another.”
Since the Swine Flu idiocy, I made a decision to institute my own “Five a Day” program. Instead of 5 fruits and vegetables (it’s more like 7), I touch five people whom I either do not, or barely, know.
Sometimes I invite the opportunity: “Can I touch your hands?” – sometimes I just program it in to the conversation. Some days have gone way over 5, others I barely make my quota.
Today I saw real progress. I watched and counted 14 instances of casual social touching in the lunchroom today among about 100 people. Last week, same half hour period, there were 2 instances (turned out they were married).
And –even better– one person walked up behind me today, put his hands on my shoulders and whispered some bit of work gossip in my ear. I was delighted! Contact! real contact, with the warmth, silliness and delicacy that social touching can warrant.
This –along with the green hair, and a determination to bring Tantra out of the smut & religion ghetto– is my contribution to the Big Fun this year.
***
What is yours? (Let’s see: is this a challenge, or loving, inquisitive interest?)
Something has shifted, I agree with Patty. I’ve been an underemployed consultant for nearly a year, and I suddenly had 2 projects surface, both with fast deadlines for today. I’m getting hits for a bunch of little projects and the price of $600 keeps coming up, for either little gigs, or bigger projects with low budgets.
One of the big political hot subjects is the health care bill, which sounds like exactly what our country needs (HR 676). If passed, it would shift health care, employment and hiring policies, small business flexibility, etc… basically, much of the American landscape would shift because of this bill – much like social security in the 30’s.
And then there’s this amazing interview with Sasha Grey, porn star who stars in the hollywood film called The Girlfriend Experience:
http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/juice/2009/05/sasha_grey_girlfriend_experience_exxxotica.php
Wow. She get’s to the heart of so much stuff – how our sexuality and authenticity are linked, and when we feel ashamed or feel we have to hide our sexual identity, our authentic self gets held back as well. Her ability to bring this to awareness is welcome and amazing.
I’m still trying to grok the psychic meeting space you Eric is talking about. I am sensing an ability to connect with people on a deeper level much faster than before. It’s as if people know that when we have something meaningful to connect about, we don’t waste any time getting to the point.
I’d love to hear more about this, it seems connected to this shifting I’m sensing.
Maybe funman in space will send joy so we can all laugh at ourselves.
“If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance.” – Wilbur Wright
I keep wondering what was going on when the Wright brothers thought to invent the airplane. There is a very exciting undercurrent in the atmosphere- something has changed in the last few days. Even the Hubble crew is declaring the expectation of extraordinary results and you can feel the anticipation.
