The first wave of data that I got involved the Leo-Aquarius axis being activated by the ruler of Aries.
I believe that a theme is about holding one’s identity in the context of a group. Being able to focus introspective energy in the presence of others, of the input to conform, advertising, group influence of any kind; to which we generally buckle; tribal consciousness kicks in fast, even if it’s beehive level.
This retrograde is about maintaining self awareness in the midst of such influences. That of course has many implications.
There is something too about the Leo-Scorpio connection in the Thema Mundi. Scorpio is on the 5th house of that chart. Mars is burrowing deep beneath Leo to the genetic-erotic level. So it goes Aries > Leo > Scorpio vis a vis Aquarius on the other side of the dial. There is a mirror effect involved, between me and all of them.
As for the Rx – consciousness rings a bell – and I’m listening.
Halloween night in Hollywood (where it’s legal to get naked in the right night-clubs where the right political agencies are making the right cut of money) — noting the mutlitude of sexual choices, fluid, shifting — I think I have always experienced sexuailty “differently” and it could be this common thread that brings so many people together in certain places, usually urban, usually artistic (in my experience).
And as always, because it was halloween, additional experience was to see all the “regular” people joining the “not regular” people in costumes, letting out their fantasies for a night – I think every one of them was sexual or erotic in some way – people finding an excuse to be what they want to be on the outside.
P.S. The police presence in Hollywood last night was astounding too. Dozens of officers lined up on corners watching, squad cars lining the streets. I’ve never seen anything like THAT either.
