Asperitus Casting Runes...
|
- Hail and Ho to the miserable fish-faced wretches of Zodiac! I trust I find you as anaesthetized and woebegone as ever, dressed in the atrociously coloured, tear-stained garments that you persist in believing are suitable for your somewhat gothic complexion. And, speaking of gothic complexions, we left you last month lying prone and insensate (a favourite position) upon the hard stone floor of a cave in Thrace after the shock of yet another betrayal and disappointment in love (a favourite pastime).
As giant Jupiter in Cancer and your solar fifth house wrestles with Chiron the wounded healer in Capricorn and your solar eleventh house, you're cast back into a world of childhood disappointment. In your wildest childhood nightmares, an array of phantom authority figures oppress, betray and abandon you, disparaging your childish games and creative play, treading on your precious dreams and criticizing you hurtfully in front of your friends. Your head aches and rages while you lie on the hard stone floor in delirium (Mercury retrograde in your solar twelfth house). Your breast swells with feverish grief.
Oh well! How sad! Never mind! Rescue comes in the form of one of the film crew who is looking for some lost equipment and discovers your insensate body as Mercury the messenger moves back into Capricorn. However, you are still in the land of your wildest dreams, little fish-faces. And, as Venus the goddess conjoins with Uranus, the spirit of a Bohemian dancer killed in a revolutionary outrage enters these delirious visions with a pirouette and a saucy wink. She confides to you a powerful and abiding truth (to be later revealed). As Mercury the messenger and sober Saturn both move forward again, you awake to consciousness in your own bed with your dear ones at your side (the word 'dear' refers, in this context, to the amount of money you have to pay people to keep you company). There too is the lover you thought jilted you with a lascivious demon. However, now you know the truth!
As the NEW MOON comes in a conjunction with revolutionary Uranus in the sign of Aquarius and your solar twelfth house while Venus the goddess moves into your sign, a startling realization sets you on a new spiritual path. The spirit of the Bohemian dancer had confided to you that it was not actually your lover you had seen in sexual congress with a phantom. It was another phantom and all of this was a manifestation of your deepest fears. This is the power of the cave. This sacred place will turn your deepest fears into visions that you must face. One can only wonder as to why you weren't down there for weeks, watching the visionary equivalent of a miniseries! Oh well! As the great Sol Invicti moves into Pisces while Venus the goddess squares sober Saturn, you decide you will become a teacher and shaman, leading the adoring masses into the cave to face their own worst fears. And, as they do, the world will instantly become a better place for your efforts and their profound change.
As Mercury the messenger, now returned to Aquarius, conjoins with mystic Neptune and Venus makes tension with underworld Pluto, your new spiritual mission is launched. Come the FULL MOON in Virgo and your solar seventh house, a bevy of willing students is lined up, ready to trek into the underworld in search of the experience of a lifetime. Will all go as you have planned, little fish-faced nonentities, or will life continue to be the endless round of heartache and sorrow you've become accustomed to? Only time will tell!
