I PANT TO KEEP UP with February astrology . . .

Note from an 83-year-old. I not only pant, I just about wet my pants!

Yesterday, I got so gobsmacked by the ultra rare Saturn/Neptune at 0° Aries phenonemon that I forgot to even mention two more important markers. One of which I did point to, however, on January 5:

VENZUELA: OOPS! Horse Begins NOW?

Note the rushing, nearly panicky, title of that post. The same, or even greater rush is being experienced now, inside me. Inside all of us. What? This too? How in hell do I, do we, keep up with such massive, continuing, cataclysmic, liberating change?

Well, obviously, I (and we) don’t. We’re all All-too-human, remember. Let’s give ourselves a break!

Oops! No. No breaks. The shattering of our trust in old institutions, authorities, etc. which we have been undergoing for years now, with devastating effect, leaving us utterly unmoored, lies in smoldering ruins.

Ruins that will soon to be proven as composting seeds for rebirth.

Remember,  far-off, tiny, extremely potent Death/Rebirth Pluto since 2008 has been traveling through (until 2043!) decentralized and/or transhumanist Aquarius (depends on who you ask, and even more crucial: depends on which timeline enough of us choose).

In either case, authentic, organic, decentralized web of life and/ or AI-, transhumanist hegemonic domination of the entire globe — and likely, BOTH — we are now undergoing, simply, relentless, unprecedented ignition, says Saturn/Neptune in fiery Aries.

That larger so far bi-cameral context frames two fascinating events that jumpstart the process. Both happen to be occurring on this very day, February 17th.

First, this day, February 17th, is the date in Chinese Astrology, that the Year of the Fire Horse commences. I wrote about this on January 5.

Plus, this very day, February 17th, also happens to feature an annular solar eclipse (not visible in the U.S. however); in other words, a more than usual significant New Moon, ie., New Beginning.

And what a new beginning! This annular eclipse new moon occurs at 28°49 Aquarius, which translates to, in the sabian symbols, 29° Aquarius, the crucial, final, anoretic degree.

So no wonder I feel rushed. I’m participating, like all of us, in this intense energy to SHIFT THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF HUMAN LIFE ON PLANET EARTH.

The full/Moon total lunar eclipse that follows, i.e., the emotional fulfillment of the New Moon annular solar eclipse, will occur on March 3. We have two weeks to “get it together”: to get, and stay, centered, no matter what happens next, here, everywhere, all the time. No breaks. 

So . . .

Pay attention.

Ground your feet into the living Earth below.

Lift your gaze to the infinite sky above.

Ask divine energy from both Above and Below to course into your open heart, circulating, circulating . . .

Then,

Extend your arms in both gratitude and benediction.

For,

We are the ones who,

on a soul level,

chose to be here NOW.

This is lift-off, folks.

Have fun!

”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
