I was thinking about electrons and how the physicists on Quorum keep repeating that they are not particles. I recalled a conversation about clean, mild acid and how that feeling in my jaw when i'm tripping reminds me of electric stars.
Electric star is a game I learned from skydivers. An opened wire hanger is inserted into a live electrical outlet and a group of people hold hands with the two people nearest the outlet holding the "live" wire. As people drop out of the group the current feels progressively stronger.
I only did it once, but the current running through my body was a cool and intriguing feeling. I wondered if being able to participate in another electric star after all these years would help me better understand electrons. It was the first time I had ever thought of that one experience in an electric star as educational.
I made a chart for the moment. The Leo section of Sagittarius was rising here in Raleigh. Saturn, which just entered the Virgo section of Sag was right there on the eastern horizon.
Remember, as you look at the chart, that we residents of Northern Hemisphere look south to see the equator and ecliptic, so east is on the left and west is on the right. Everything under the horizontal line is on the far side of earth from Raleigh.
Mercury was on the MC, which stands for Medium Coeli, a latin abbreviation for midheaven, which is the same thing as due south. In other words, Raleigh was rotating to the closest point with Mercury in it's 24 hour cycle. (We faced closest to the Sun at about 1:02pm today)
There is a key at bottom left of the charts if you're not sure about the symbols for the planets. Mercury is right near the MC in the first chart, and Sun is right near MC in the second one. Then you can see the Moon at the bottom of the chart 'opposing' them. I think of opposition as fulfillment, as in full Moon shining through the night.
