Here and Now...What's Happening?

[ulli]

Years ago, in an earlier post on astrology, I mentioned that I perceive only six Zodiac signs instead of twelve. Or to be more precise, six axis, taking a given sign and its opposite as one whole. By itself each sign and its dominant trait is only a fragment, and faulty in its function.

For instance: the Libra-Aries axis.
Libra, hesitant, holding back out of fear of making a mistake. The diplomat who wishes to solve all disputes without violence. Air sign, intellectual.
Aries, pushy, not at all worried about getting things wrong. The adventurer-warrior who sees even warfare as a game. Fire sign, instinctive.
Each sign complements the other, and the hesitant (aka cowardly) Libra native can learn much from Aries' courage (aka recklessness) as forceful Aries natives can learn from Libra's peace and harmony message if they can just learn to control their fire.
So in between those two signs lies that perfect midpoint, where all becomes full creative potential, the point where divinity is accessed, where all one has to do is say Be! and it comes into existence, provided the energies dont cancel each other out and all goes pfffttt.....

Today is dentist day. Will talk about the virtues of a Taurus dentist later. The kind of dentist who is like the Oracle in the movie The Matrix, who said to Neo, "here, have another cookie"

Interesting observation. Thanks for sharing.

I know a Libra who behaves like an ardent Aries (not the ascendant).

Maybe whispering 'be' and screaming 'BE' gives different results.

Absolutely. When I allow myself to go into mechanical automaton mode my natural capricornian ambitiousness kicks in, and ruins all my plans.
It's as if that fierceness creates a giant dust cloud in front of me. Similar to a bow wave of a ship.

So then I remind myself to slow down and to stop for a while and smell the roses.
Going against one's dominant planet, as it were. Remaining still, yet alert.

For a Libra it might be easier than other signs to find that secret of balancing between their own sign and their opposite, as the need for balance is inherent in Libra's chief attitude. Most of all become aware of themselves in a healthy way, provided they dont sink into narcissism.

Balancing the balance, a kind of metabalancing act. Like a tightrope walker negotiating the wobbly bit (the rope) between two fixed points. He can wobble mostly sideways, so he uses a long balancing rod in the perpendicular plane where he stands at the fulcrum between two counter-acting pendulums on either side.

So I should balance my Gemini diplomacy with the Sagittarian hoof in mouth disease? I've got that one....

Gemini adapts to their environment. Diplomacy only comes out where it is called for, and so it is used as survival strategy.
Sagittarius won't compromise their personality like that...they grab their backpack and move on.

Had to LOL at the hoof in mouth comment, as Im married to a Sag and only know too well what you are talking about.

I made a note a in various posts while back on the forum, over the past few years, about the noticeable trend toward a seemingly inevitable danger zone issue. One of the breaking of humanity into two separate levels.

In some, I may have mentioned my given 'last life - past life recall', which occurred in my current life childhood. (as in recall of the full life, not just bits)

I witnessed first hand what a separated system looks like. Where one group is the animal-serfs, and the other is the oligarchy.

It is ugly beyond belief. If you think we treat animals and the world bad, in today's life, well, you ain't seen nuthin'.

The end game of such scenarios can be and is inevitably ---- exceedingly despairing and ugly.

This is what I'm talking about, when I say that I know where all these particular beings are going, the ones who promulgate this nightmare scenario in our society -- I know where they are going. I know their next stop.

The War on Stupid People

This is very much a danger zone area, where some foresight and/or farsight... would go a long way to mitigating the issues.

Eg, we now know that genetics can change in a single generation, even within the given person in the given lifetime.

It's a fairly complicated mess, complicated by the lack of understanding in the article.


Most important as points go, is that people who disparage 'stupid' people, are not really all that intelligent themselves.

They think they know something as they have a well decorated box of intelligence, where the walls are difficult to see. So they are under the impression that their box is wall-less and encompasses the world, in it's myriad considerations.

A more intelligent person would see the walls of the box of their own limits, and understand those limits. And would, in a way that transcend those limits, specifically with respect to how they treat a person of differing intelligence or a differing skill and wiring set.

Sometimes I find stuff and I think it is utterly hilarious, but then decide that no.... I can't share that. Oh well.

Here is the story of a couple of teenagers impromptu artwork at a contemporary art gallery (MoMA San Francisco).
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...-a7052531.html
It would be flattering for them to be compared with Marcel Duchamp, but if, as the quoted philosopher says, the message of his urinal was ‘Art is something you piss on’, then they are not so much doing that as ‘taking the piss’. I think Duchamp was actually comparing the two situations of (a male) having a pee and visiting an art gallery: in both cases standing facing a wall at very close range like they’ve forgotten their glasses. So I guess a pair of specs facing back out from the wall was a very Duchampian item to exhibit, suggesting the artwork is not so much to be looked at, as a visual aid to be looked through. Once you start seeing clearly, you might notice for example that the second photo in the article has been faked: in all the other pictures, the floorboarding is perpendicular to the wall, but here it is parallel.

Not faked. They moved the "art object" to a place that does it more justice.
Now it can really be seen, in its shining glory.

That degree of the solstice, of 'sun stand thou still'....is 0.02 degrees off one of, if not the --- most important astrological points in my birth chart.

The thunderstorms, hail, rain, lighting, wind and near tornadoes...whip around me.



And just like everybody else, I scratch my ass... while looking up and contemplating the universe.

Thunderstorms?

Not quite getting your meaning on that one.....
