From Stillness – Revelry!
Tis a Riptide of Ancient Nature
Confluencing with Human Modernity
inviting us to sensual stillness.

Thanks to Richard Paul Geer
for guiding us to this writer, Victoria Erickson:
“There are days where I feel the fire in me fade to such a slow surrendered flicker and this is where and when I feel my resilience burn the strongest. I bow to anything and everything that has tried to weaken my flame, as it’s within this supple silence that I rise- the heat and core of myself ever deepening, and knowing.
Nothing can take your spirit away. Nothing.”
Aha!
Our last Council of the year,
the decade…
and Sun conjoining South Node,
our personal and cultural magic back-pack,
angel carrying a harp….
Here’s some mythic ancestors waving to us…
if we magnetize our homes as welcoming…

In keeping with my/our shared love
of the word “deliberate”- from Libra balance.
Deliberate: “by influence of liberare (“to free, liberate”)
from librare “to balance, make level,”
from libra “pair of scales, a balance” (see Libra).
Meaning “characterized by slowness in decision,
consciously unhurried.””
Libra from ‘The book of birth of Iskandar”
And isn’t it marvelous that “liberare” (liberate)
and “librare” (balance) are so dancing in this word!
To be deliberate is to be in a state
of liberating balance….
Victoria again:
“A close friend of mine and I agreed that “slow and intentional”
were our words for 2020. And to be honest since slow is a rhythm
I resonate more with than quick or rushed or hurried or fast,
I may retain that frame forever. 🌊
2019 brought a lot of goodness and also confusion and also some fear.
2020 I will not jump into with any wish of constant ecstatic bliss
because life is far more complex and surprising and layered than that,
but slow and intentional it shall be regardless-
inside of every decision and response to it.
Protecting your energy raises your energy.
It helps you to see.
It helps you to listen.
It helps you to understand.
It helps you strengthen.
This will change your life.
Slowly. Intentionally. Gently. 🌙”
( I would, for fun, switch out “you” for “us.”
and “your” for “our.”) (More deliberate)
Very Saturn-Jupiter
“tell your story
When you remain in your own authentic rhythm and peace
you can exist and thrive as both a strong and tender thing simultaneously.
Like poetry. Or plants. Or breath,
moving through the body.
This is where your power lives.”
-Victoria Erickson
Earth #22 (2018) Brian Kirhagisis
Uranus stationing,
inward revelatory pathways are forming…
at 2+ Taurus, re-wilding the world, inwardly now,
to do outwardly post January 10th..
(Lunar Eclipse, Uranus Direct..
right before the Saturn-Pluto-Ceres etc…)
the Lord of Misrule is available
in most liberating form,
as our Mars at 27+ Scorpio
Wildness out of stillness…
Intuition is arising from the embodied realm,
the incarnational realm of our bodies.
By re-arranging our altars…
we re-callibrate our hummmm…
Mercury and Fortune
And Mercury at 2+ Capricorn,
(with neighboring Jupiter, Sun)
exactly trines Uranus….
Could be brilliant lucky available,
wittily arising out of travails…
Ha-ha! just kidding says the Abyss…
Mercury sextiles, creative alliance
with the Moon.
Liberty Enlightening the World
Lovely bonus points: that the Moon in empathic,
atmosphere artist Pisces, quintiles Pallas
at 22+ Sagittarius – “Crown and Torch
of the Statue of Liberty – the necessity of
protecting democracy from tyranny…”
Let’s animate all desirable proffered imagery together…
And of course – Let’s encourage each other’s deep brooding,
as our dedications arise from depth to conscious
Humming the templates forming…
Whatever vessel of dedication we place on our altars –
Jupiter will fill it.
A deliberate practice, to which we dedicate is
Nuance!
We are all befoibled…
So let us practice inviting/encouraging the good,
liberate all from the sketchy…
“So many feel lethargic,
unmotivated or worn out,
in this hemisphere.
We are really not made
to rocket straight
through winter,
ablaze with energy.
Look at nature.
The ground and plants
and animals
are deep at rest.
This is the natural
way of things.
Spend some time
with the long nights,
the moon, solitude,
the bare earth, stillness.
Be easier on yourself.”
