Eclipse Day Dawns . . .

April 8, 2024

 

. . . and as for those supposed 100,000 OR  300,000 (weird: news reports had it as either one OR the other!) visitors expected to witness the totality in Bloomington, I heard about a nearby music festival yesterday, to which hardly anybody came, and this morning, on our walk, I passed by a nearby Starbucks (which usually has 15 people in cars waiting for their turn at the window), and there were exactly two cars in line. Huh? That’s never happened.

It’s almost as if all the eclipse fear porn has nudged Bloomingtonians back into covid lockdown.

And here I thought I’d have to walk to what we call Solstice Hill (where we witnessed the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction at 0° Aquarius on Winter Solstice 2020), due to horrendous traffic jams; but this morning, I get this, from neighbor Jelene, who ends up being the only person with whom I will spend three hours witnessing the coming and going of eclipse totality.

“Should I just pick you up?”

Hilarious!

“Yes.”

But: jury’s still out. This, from Wendy Patterson last night, on twitter/X:

 

 

 

PRE-ECLIPSE JITTERS? No. Steadying, calm awareness in the midst of upheaval

April 7, 2024

 

Hmmm . . . two east coast earthquakes in the last few days. Rare. Meaning?

Will the New Madrid fault line be activated?

These considerations penetrating more and more over the past several weeks.

So I wondered: what’s it like out there today, the day before the much hyped, fear-mongered, total solar eclipse in a town smack dab in the line of totality?

Well, I sensed a bit more traffic, but not all that obvious, not yet. I did notice that as I walked by a school, it’s driveways had been roped off with no explanation . . .

But, the main sensation, overall, as puppy Shadow and I moved through what is still 3D time and space (is that about to change?), I felt continually inundated, interpenetrated, immersed within and moving through a roiling, fulminating psychic sea of enormous import; an overall sense of impending . . . what? Doom? Overturn of existing order? A psychic/social/cultural eruption, massive, of some kind; an ignition of an entirely new reality, symbolized and synchronized with tomorrow’s 3:04 PM New Moon, Total Solar Eclipse, exactly conjunct wounded healer Chiron, at 19°25  Aries, sign of brand new beginnings. This total, chirotic solar eclipse is furthermore yoked to Jupiter/Uranus, only a semi-sextile away, at 19° and 21° of fixed, earthy Taurus, about to conjunct exactly on April 21, igniting a brand new 14-year cycle of expanding, exploding material possibilities; and wait, one more! Energetic Mars at 13° of emotional Pisces, already igniting and thus pushing through 14° Saturn in Pisces, its walls, boundaries, rules, traditions, authorities.

I arrive home, go to twitter/X, and this is the first post I see, synchronizing with today’s atmosphere, exactly.

We are within a very short time, perhaps only weeks, until the emergence of the Violent Intense Pushback on the 'authorities'.

This VIP period will last quite a few months. Less than you may think as the 'authorities' will die, and/or flee and capitulate. They will abandon…

Grateful for my 25 year daily taichi practice, so that I may, hopefully, maintain internal balance while flowing with eruptive change.

Yes, my task, as a sovereign soul, is to remain at one with the (increasingly chaotic) all.

It’s going to be wild, folks. The more of us who can count on ourselves to not freak out, but instead, function as a center of calm, steady, compassionate energy, a refuge in the storm, the better off we will all be.
