Forecast for Tuesday, February 16th
Aries Crescent Moon; Part 3
ॐOracular Mantra—new potentials are emerging, but they’re not the familiar sort of potential…
The abandonment of expectation and embracing of flexibility remains the overall theme yet again today, and largely—the theme of the month, in all honesty.
The Saturn/Uranus square is heavily approaching exactness tomorrow, and we’ve been feeling this additional weight for some time, introducing new and likely uncomfortable demands upon tried and true traditional templates—and today offers a moon/Pluto square on top of it all—it’s beginning to look a lot like: f#ck this or ommmm.
Obsession with potentiality—this is how Rudhyar expressed the essence of the degree through which the moon and Pluto meet by square… ‘a man possessed by more gifts than he can hold’, in fact… though this could be both a blessing and a curse—obsessions can devour you or feed you, it is for the mind to decide.
Rudhyar continues, that “the mind which finds itself confronted with a totally unfamiliar and as yet unexperienced type of potency finds it difficult at first to adjust to its new world of perception and possibilities of action—he may rush ahead excitedly and lose his bearings—he should try to reach a state of calm watchfulness, and to learn that at this level too there are limits and restrictions, i.e. laws expressing this new type of ‘order’…”
❝We have been to the moon, we have charted the depths of the ocean and the heart of the atom, but we have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the contradictions flow together.❞
——Terence McKenna
Rudhyar states that this degree is “a symbol of warning—a warning against undertaking more than it is as yet safe and sound to attempt.”
This, of course, could be seen as a warning to be careful not to put too much stock, fuss, fear, or fret into potential what ifs—as Terence McKenna has been known to say, because, realistically, “we don’t yet know enough to worry” and beyond this—the universe is reminding us that it simply doesn’t matter: it is what it is and you might need to pause and pace yourself, and relearn everything you thought you knew…
Look within and find your center—especially if nothing feels familiar or recognizable—your reality and your circumstances are behaving in an effort to pivot you toward something wonderful… and this type of wonderful is beyond what your ideal or imagination can conjure, just give it a minute.
You didn’t think it would all come together for you without any unexplainable or misunderstood havoc, did you!?
Through all the ‘f#ck this’ will come the ommmmm. You’ll see.
