One of the most damning
‘observations’ made of astrologers, by defenders of modern objective science, is that they make decisions based on how the
planets are aligned. Aside from the
obvious corollary of making a thousand daily decisions based on the motions of
a mechanical device that crows from beside the bed, this reminds me of the
doctor who forcefully asserts that levothyroxine made in a lab is eggsactly
like what your thyroid makes. Thus speak
the righteous scientists. And then
there’s religion. But of course its all
political to me. Its all political to
me.
But then I think love is
political. I think love is a highly
charged political action. Like, who you
love is a political choice. I think a
lot about the politics of love- what rules a society imposes on acts of
love. What makes an act of love
illegal? Are acts of love privileges
which require license? Driving a car is
a privilege. Like a lot of privileges,
driving is taken for granted by those who have a license. But many of our neighbors are denied a
license to drive. Why do we deny people
a license to drive? A license to enter
our country? Why is it ok to have our
cookie and appliance factories in Mexico? Is it because
the labor and environmental laws there are more favorable to corporations and
work is mas barata. All life is
basically cheap there. Death is where
the money is. Down in Mexico guns are illegal, but we don’t respect their border
and let them flow across freely, so they have heads literally rolling in the
streets. Gun control rules in Mexico. Guns are big
in Mexico, like they are in Russia, Afghanistan- where else do we see guns in the streets, strapped
over the shoulders of people in public (usually men). How did those guns get there? Where did those madrassa students get all
their weapons and pick up trucks? Where
did the money come from?
Right, though, we’re talking
about those stupid (stupid!) astrologers (how could they be so turned off by
reality? How hard they work at weaving their stories of la la land!) And when a prediction comes out wrong, they
just change the date. They are worse
than prostitutes and we can’t seem to get rid of them. But people give them their hard earned
money!! They are worse than high
interest credit card offers and pawn shops.
They are worse than NASA, the EPA, and ICE combined; astrologers just
want to run our lives and it’s a real shame to see people get caught up in that
bull.
Well, the moon is catching up
with mars in libra today. This is like
the visit of a loved one or the food truck at the camp. Mars is really showing off his most charming
side this month whether he or she likes it or not. It is really important to see mars in the
females in your life as well as the males.
The will to survive is strong in every one. Right now we are actually starting in on a
wrap up of almost thirty months of gaining a sobering understanding of
fairness. Saturn will soon descend even
further down the ecliptic, below the celestial equator. This month mars is catching up with the old
one, and today, the swiftly changing moon.
All three in libra-saturn, mars and the moon.
Mars will catch right on up
beside Saturn about Aug 16. When that
happens the sun, moon and mercury will be in leo, with venus in cancer. That should be fun.
The new moon was beautiful
last night. How could any people who
follow the moon believe the earth is flat?
It is when the moon is really new, or really old and all we can see lit
up is a curved sliver, like a tiny blanket of light on the bottom side of a
Christmas tree ornament, perfectly curved, illuminated by a candle from a lower
branch; that it is obvious we live in a spherical world.
