“They’re all bold as love, just ask the axis” – Jimi Hendrix<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Axis is another word we can pull out of the muck (where it was deposited by the immediately previous presidential administration), clean up and reclaim. Though it be of four letters, it is not a dirty word. It is the the center around which something turns or is arranged. A still, fixed reference point of perception from which perspective can be attained.<\/p>\n

In the time zones of continental North America, the weekend begins with the waxing Moon (just past the first quarter) making its monthly crossing of the biggest Axis we know of – the galactic center. Looking up at the night sky with the unaided eye, very nearly every light we can see is of our galaxy. The galactic center is a gravitational and energetic phenomenon that gives us and all those lights something in common, binding us together literally and figuratively. When aspected, it touches on that theme in ways so big and powerful that our mind alone has difficulty understanding or expressing them.<\/p>\n

The Moon is literally and figuratively an object of reflection. Lit by the Sun, it illuminates the night as well as the feelings, personalities and processes inside of us. Combine the inside of us with what we all have in common and there is an opportunity to bring ourselves to the still point of the axis and visualize the concept of one with as self evident. Eyes thus opened, the power of love, the importance of tolerance and a source of healing may be there to behold, there for the taking.<\/p>\n

While the Moon is crossing the galactic center, the Sun is at 6 degrees Virgo. The sabian symbol for that point is “Children’s voices and the smiles of elders; it is a merry go round with blatant music and unrestrained joyousness”. This would seem to reinforce the idea of an axis around which we can share of our joy and unity as one in our experiences.<\/p>\n

In another major aspect for this weekend, Mercury (slowing to about half a degree a day) exacts a square to Mars (actually, beginning very late Friday). This implies that tensions inside ourselves may seek resolution through energetic communication, maybe some of them not so nice. Would it be too much suggest that there is an opportunity as well as a danger here? Is it possible for each of us to be aware of that energy and take conscious control of it? Perhaps turning some of it to listening? Perhaps being proactive in acknowledging and supporting others as they communicate tensions that we may recognize as also our own?<\/p>\n

From now until Mercury stations retrograde on September 7th, Eric will be participating at Burning Man, an event where people gather in a hostile wilderness and thrive through the practice of a gift economy and paying it forward. It would be fitting if everyone reading this could find a way to allow Eric and Planet Waves to benefit from the same principles that inform Burning Man. i think you know what i mean.<\/p>\n

Until Monday then, i leave you with the words of T.S. Eliot: “At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,…”<\/p>\n
