Holy Moly! It’s Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n

It is perhaps an encouraging sign that many of us share an ambivalence about this holiday. Having discovered the misrepresentations of revisionist history books, having become aware of the centuries of horror visited upon the first citizens of the American continents, having become conscious of the unappetizing details that are behind the food on our table its no wonder. And then there are the grim taxing details of traveling some distance to gather with people who, in many cases, are precisely the same individuals we choose to live far away from. Somewhere, Mark Twain is either laughing or crying.<\/p>\n

Today, the luminaries and planets are in sympathy through their synchronicity, mythological and otherwise as they gather in their own way, the extended family of the Solar System.<\/p>\n

The Sun, moving into the fifth degree of Sagittarius, conjoins the asteroid Circe. Dig out that copy of the Odyssey<\/em> (you know, the one with no crease on the spine?). Seems that on the way home Odysseus and his crew got hungry and got off at the Anaea exit. Some of them moved immediately to accept Circe’s offer of a feast, whereupon they became pigs. Resonates somehow, eh? Odysseus (who waited until halftime) was intercepted by Hermes\/Mercury on his way to the table and given an herb called moly (which was indeed holy because only a deity could harvest the root) which made him immune to the potion in the stuffing so that he would not make a pig of himself. There’s a lotta yada after that but, good timing, Sun! Sure beats hearing a story about white dudes in buckle shoes for the Nth time.<\/p>\n

This morning, the waxing gibbous Moon got drama-ed up early in in conjunction with Uranus and by golly she’s gonna make her personal political when she crosses over into Aries. Maybe that would be a good time to go out on the porch for a smoke before she starts in about Pelion and Bienor.<\/p>\n

Trines imply momentum and as such are usually considered favorable aspects. How about when the quality of persistence building on itself (another way of saying momentum, no?) involves things not entirely comfortable? Today, Mercury perfects its trine with Mars, but look who’s coming to dinner with each of them. Mercury is conjunct with the asteroid Cupido, you don’t have to be Fellini to figure that out. Mars is bringing his date, the asteroid Atropos (you know, the Fate sister who snips the string?). Just who decided to seat them together at the table anyway?<\/p>\n

Venus is getting tipsy as she exacts her square to Neptune before she’s gotten over her aspect with the lunar nodes. Hide your nephew. Jupiter is sliding over on the sofa hoping Chiron won’t notice while Saturn and Pluto are planning to stay for awhile.<\/p>\n

Ah yes, why don’t we do this more often?<\/p>\n
