This is a post from yesterday that I am finally figuring out how to publish.
America is back, not the continent, my old friend. I am reading Rudolph Steiner, good medicine for emotional times. He taps away with the physician's hammer encouraging us to develop a rigorous understanding of what lies behind emotions and knee jerk reactions to sensory experiences. He describes the spiritual thought process as including a consideration of many circumstances leading up to and away from an emotional event. He uses the term super sensible to indicate that it is an intelectual process that is above and beyond immediate reactions. Yesterday I could only think of all my knee jerk reactions with dismay; luckily I have been on this path for a while and focused on what I knew and trusted to be good and true- breathing, friendship, and the yoga sutras of patanjali.
This morning Koala, as they call my old friend, is back. We had a brief exchange about the election results. She remarked on the people in the streets shouting and waving Trump placards. Her friends all want to know if she is ready.
We both agree, after our wild emotional ride in July that now is a time to chill, seriously get that balance going forward so we can meet the future with integrity. She is being super sensible when it really counts.
Venus in the diplomatic end of Sagittarius was rising when she showed up this morn. Back in July when we blew up and parted ways, Venus was in Leo rising every day like the cock's crow right before Jupiter in Virgo- leonine kindness meeting its fate with a training opportunity. The posts in July and August document events surrounding the fireworks.
Any bodies in fire signs, including Saturn still in Sagittarius for another year, add their own special heat to the revolutionary bonfire of Uranus in Aries. For years I read about social revolutions and wondered if and how one would come to my homeland in my lifetime. I asked my friend Bob what he thought was the best way to prepare. If I remember right he said, after his usual thoughtful pause, he was offering rhe best suggestion he could think of in response to my request for advice, "get to know your neighbors."
Now, as Koala is preparing to move back in, Venus is past its fateful meeting with both Jupiter and Saturn. Kindness has met with both opportunity and limits, and has a new concept of possibilities.
