Dear Friend and Reader:<\/p>\n

We are out of the thick of the Twilight Zone, post-eclipse. The Sun and Moon are both solidly in Leo, though the one warpy thing is that the Sun is sitting on Ketu, the South Node of the Moon. The cosmos are still vibrating with this event, which was witnessed by hundreds of millions of people across Asia.<\/p>\n

The Leo ingress comes with a reminder to all of us not to be so proud. We have a lot of names for the evils of male pride and arrogance; as a society we have fewer names for their female equivalents, and we don’t always know them when we see them. Pride is often a form of retribution on the past; Ketu is about releasing the past. But there is also something here about relating directly to the past; embracing history, being aware of its value, and extracting that which is the most useful; and leaving behind the rest, though consciously.<\/p>\n

What is interesting about this configuration is that the Sun and Leo are connected through the fact of sign rulership; this is an ancient dignity, involving the element gold, the role of the king or other high nobility, and many other interlinking ideas from the Doctrine of Signatures. The ‘king’, as JRR Tolkien shows us so well, is the return to dignity and sanity; an internal principle of a guided, sane mind; a mind which has an organizing principle. When there is ‘no king’ — generally symbolized by vast corruption — people themselves are missing something within themselves<\/em>. There is no male principle; neither men nor women can orient correctly.<\/p>\n

We are being offered something here; we are being offered an exchange of that which is toxic for that which is healing. There is a release of toxic pride and the restoration of true dignity implied, and by that I mean guidance toward the receptivity and humility that comprise true nobility.<\/p>\n

In any event — an interesting day. And listen to that cosmic bell ring.<\/p>\n
