Astrology and Mayan Tzolkin for October 22nd to November 3rd 2016

This is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of October 22nd 2016 and 1 – Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with the Sun entering Scorpio, followed by Mercury entering Scorpio, and the Scorpio New Moon.

    October 22nd is 1 – Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile carries the themes of beginnings, Mother Earth, protection and trust, nurturing, primordial energy, new opportunities and information, instincts, primal creativity, water-lily, abundance, the essence of nature, beauty, receptivity and growth. Much like other indigenous people who believed that the Earth was carried on the back of a turtle, the Maya believed that our planet was carried on the back of a crocodile who would nurture and protect all life forms. They believed that from this primal force humans received messages and feelings about our connection to Mother Earth. This thirteen day period would be excellent to spend time in nature and listen to the subtle messages from Gaia.

    This being the 1 - Crocodile trecena: unity through nurturing new beginnings and the beginning of a new Tzolkin round, I thought I would talk about the Tzolkin Calendar. Which Ian Lungold referred to as the personal calendar of the Maya. The Tzolkin is a 260 day calendar made of 13 galactic tones numbered 1 to 13 and 20 sacred sun signs. The combination of these two intensions were so important to the Maya, that their Day Sign was their first name, because it set their life's intension. For instance my Day Sign is 13 - Imix or Crocodile which is about moving to the next level through nurturing new beginnings. That's what I'm here to do. I ascend in consciousness through nurturing others to have new experiences. If you're interested, Mayan Majix is a great resource for all things Tzolkin, including my favorite the "Mayan Calendar and Conversion Codex." This diagram shows the 20 sacred sun signs. Each sign is colored to show its relationship to the four directions and four elements. We begin with Crocodile which is red representing east, fire, and birthing. Next is Wind in white connected to North, air, and the mind. Then Night is blue representing the west, water and endings, and Seed in yellow is aligned with the south, earth and the body. As we move around the wheel the pattern stays consistent, red, white, blue, yellow, red and so on. I find it interesting that each trecena ends with the same direction it starts with so the groupings of 13 days follow the same pattern 1 - Crocodile is red, followed by 1 - Jaguar white, followed by 1 - Deer blue, and 1 - Sun yellow. If you follow your personal Tzolkin you may know that every 65 days we experience "burner days" relative to our Day Sign. For instance I am 13 - Crocodile so I experience more intense growth opportunities on the days leading up to and including 13 - Crocodile, 13-Transformation, 13-Monkey, and 13-Wisdom, which likewise follows the pattern of red, white, blue, and yellow. The colored halos around the day signs and the squares that connect them are to demonstrate the five burner sets. 

    Since we begin a new Gregorian month during this trecena, I thought I'd discuss the metaphysics of the upcoming month. November is the eleventh month and with the digits for 2016, when added together we get 11, then we add 1 + 1 to tell us that this is an eleven/two month in numerology, which brings a spiritual quality to the month. Basic numerology reduces numbers to one through nine, so when we think about that arc the 2 represents a time which brings increased contact with new people, relationships, and cooperative connections, but also highlights the need for balance. The numerology in January and February 2017 repeat November and December 2016 with January being a two month and February being a three month. The eleven/two combination is represented by the Lust/High Priestess tarot cards which is about being in our strength and in our bodies while experiencing our intuition, independence, self-trust, and self-resourcefulness. Richard Moss wrote in How Shall I Live: "To me, wholeness is the key to aliveness. It is more than just a physical vitality, it is radiance, coming from being at one with yourself and your experience. Life then flows through you and radiates from you" which is a nice description of the Strength/Lust energetic. The High Priestess could be described from this quote from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, "For the self is a sea boundless and measureless." So November is a month to be in our bodies and radiance, that in turn empowers our sense of self, while we cultivate new connections with others. 

     Before I get into the daily energy for 1 – Imix on the 22nd all the planets appear to be moving forward from our vantage point on Earth, except Chiron, Uranus, and Neptune, which appears to move retrograde or in reverse motion. Remember the themes of retrograde planets are the review the past, re-evaluate, reminisce and we can see these themes being played out. Chiron retrograde has us reviewing our wounds so that they can be released, by having the courage to open our hearts to any fear or pain associated with our past. If you find yourself recalling painful events or situations between now and when Chiron turns direct November 30th, it is advisable remain conscious while dealing with these uncomfortable feelings as they will reveal the path to healing and letting go of what no longer serves a purpose in our upcoming journey. Uranus in Aries retrograde, is seeking to shake our very foundation through the unexpected rebellion of the individual. Uranus in Aries will have people wanting to hurry the process of getting free. To push the river of revolution whether it be personal or political. Uranus in astrology forces us outside our comfort zone so we have to look for possibilities "outside the box." This is about unplanned experiences that disrupt our perceived and planned life path in order to move us forward in our spiritual evolution, individually and globally. Neptune retrograde is seeking transcendence through spiritual experiences. This will be a time to use spiritual practices to keep us grounded as we expand our intuition and consciousness. Both Neptune and Pisces, the sign it rules, tend to be dreamy, imaginative, difficult to nail down due to their qualities of illusion and illumination often without any way to know which is which. They represent compassion and co-dependence, selflessness and loss of self, higher purpose and substance abuse, in their inspiration to transcend the material plane and experience something beyond words and thoughts.

 

     Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena.

October 22nd is 1 – Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile: unity experienced through nurturing new beginnings in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with the Sun enters Scorpio, bringing us into the peak of the season which is often keynoted as intensity and passion in this fixed water sign. The scorpion is known for endurance, and drive, but also for seeking to find a deeper purpose in life. Of course Halloween and its origin in the pagan holiday Samhain, are about seeing through the veil into the otherworld, mark the midpoint of Scorpio. For the next month the Sun casts more light on subjects such as death, rebirth, transformation, sex, regeneration, introspection, psychic experiences, anything that delves below the surface to explore the depths and mysteries, when transiting Scorpio. Also on the 22nd the last quarter Moon in Cancer is challenged by Uranus, Mercury, and the Sun which shifts from people acting hasty and jumping to conclusions, to later folks being critical in their communications particularly with the people they have intimate relationships with, and finally we encounter challenges to our daily routines.

The 23rd is 2 – Ik "eek" or Wind: duality experienced through communication in the Tzolkin calendar.

October 24th is 3 – Akbal "awk-bol" or Night: taking action through contemplating the stars, while Mercury enters Scorpio, which brings a questioning and probing intellect. That seeks out what is beneath the surface, and puts an emphasis on fields like medicine, science, religion, and the occult. So under this influence folks may feel a greater need to investigate and uncover what previously could not be known. Mercury in Scorpio is powerful and needs to get to the root of an issue, rather than staying on the surface. It may even embrace conflict to fully resolve a problem. I'd expect communications to be more intense, with an increase in biting sarcasm, until Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 12th. So if we find ourselves engaged in a conversations that require etiquette and politeness such in court or some form of negotiation, we would benefit from being conscious of our delivery as well as our words.

The 25th is 4 – Kan "con" or Seed or Lizard: stability through planting seeds and making new connections, with Venus square Neptune which is an alignment between planet octaves. Venus representing personal love and Neptune representing unconditional and universal love. The romantic imagination is active under this transit, which can lead to unrealistic expectations regarding loved ones. Please remember your partner is a mere mortal, by not holding them to an impossible romantic ideal that no one could or should try to attain. Relationships that are damaged by this transit are not usually based on reality. This is positive for daydreaming that leads to artistic expression. Overall we are likely to feel an expansion in compassion and empathy which benefits activities like meditation, music and art which may seem transcendent, but not such a great day for business on the material plane.

October 26th is 5 – Chicchan "chee-chan" or Serpent: empowerment through being flexible, with Venus sextiles Jupiter which brings feelings of contentment and benevolence. A very nice sense of being at peace with the world. Friendships benefit from generosity with activities engaged in at this time, becoming a fair exchange over time. This is also favorable for financial dealings, particularly foreign investments, or agreements related to medicine or legal matters. Friendships or romantic relationships that begin under this influence should be mutually beneficial. Also this is a very good day for getting together with friends and enjoying this lighthearted transit particularly engaging in some form of rest and recreation, and leaving the more serious or routine business for another day. Overall very nice energy for family gathering as the usual conflicts are diminished.

The 27th is 6 – Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation: being in the flow through releasing what no longer serves us, while the Sun conjunct Mercury which stimulates our social interactions and conversations, particularly with people who are part of our new direction, and in Scorpio this could be related to mysteries and the unknowable. Also illumination comes to some of the dark areas of our minds which brings forward information that was previously in the shadows. This alignment emphasizes an increase in conversations, although folks are more inclined to talk than listen. Being a conjunction, this brings the initiative to start something new, including starting a new mysterious exploration that may have business potential, as Mercury rules commerce and the exchange of ideas. This also brings a sharpness to the thinking process and is a good time to make plans for the future.

October 28th is 7 – Manik "man-eek" or Deer: reflection through being of service to others, with Mars sextile Chiron brings action to our healing process and energy for letting go of old wounds. Particularly past pain that was caused from aggressive or sexual experiences.  

The 29th is 8 – Lamat "la-maught" or Star or Rabbit: balance through being grateful for abundant relationships, with Mars squares Uranus which is like someone on the sidelines trying to provoke Uranus, with aggressive revolutionary energy as the integrity of the old world structures continue to be assaulted, as those in power violently try to suppress the individuals fighting for change and humanity. The days before and after the 29th when the transit is in orb, we would benefit from physical activity to channel some of this reckless and impulsive energy. This is more energy that may bring completions of old worn out situations to prepare for new beginnings. Be conscious of your surroundings as this transit has the potential for unexpected accidents. Also on the 29th Venus conjuncts Saturn in Sagittarius where love and affection are tempered by practical considerations. This can have a sobering view point regarding relationships. Folks may seek the advice of older people (Saturn) regarding relationships (Venus). Saturn is also limitation so this maybe a time of parting temporarily or breaking up. Relationships that begin under this influence are long lasting and loyal, but not particularly exciting. For relationships that are going well at this time Venus merged with Saturn makes us aware of our commitments which would be good for getting engaged or working of marital problems.

October 30th is 9 – Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: patience experienced through appreciating creation, while we have the we have the Scorpio New Moon merging with the Sun and Mercury, and supported by Neptune. This New Moon finding support from Neptune brings our innermost subconscious fantasies and daydreams confusing reality, which may not be great for accomplishing much work, and conjunct Mercury is positive energy for integrating our thoughts and moods. In Scorpio, emotions and passions are intensified. New Moons bring the opportunity to set an intension for manifestation on the following full moon. Look to the house of your astrology chart that contains 7 degrees 44 minutes Scorpio to consider what area of your life is being activated by this new moon. For me it is the fifth house of children and creativity, so I expect this cycle to provide new information about my creative process and perhaps my relationships with children. This new moon has great energy for a fresh start particularly related to spiritual commitment and transformation as we become more aware of our authentic inner selves. The next Full Moon on November 14th is this year’s super Moon when the Moon is at its closest to the Earth and looks larger, making this New Moon particularly potent. This Moon is magical and creative, also spiritual, as we approach the time when the veil between worlds is at it thinnest and shamanic energy is very powerful. Also on the 30th Mercury trines Neptune which stimulates creative imagination and brings a deeper sensitivity to the world around us. This energetic leads to daydreaming and would be well spent listening to music or reading or writing poetry or romantic literature. Conversations will also not revolve around the practical, but will be more suited to discussions of other worldly spiritual topics and our fantasies, hopes and dreams. Not great energy for accomplishing work, but wonderful for empathy and selfless compassion with the offer to help others without interest to gain ourselves. This is also very good energy for studying art, religion, music, poetry, spiritual, and occult subjects, as we are able to transcend the limitations of our normal rational thinking.

The 31st is 10 – Oc "awk" or Dog: manifestation through enjoying family and friends in the Tzolkin calendar.

November 1st is 11 – Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: resolution through creating something new, while the Sun trines Neptune, which with Neptune's support of the Sun we are more idealistic and understand a more spiritual level of reality. This increases our sensitivity to the more subtler aspects of the world around us. This is good for spending time alone to engage in activities like meditation, yoga, working of art, music or any creative project. To explore the more spiritual levels of reality from an emotional and intellectual perspective. This great for studying metaphysical or spiritual subjects and looking at your life to consider how you are doing in meeting your needs spiritually and materially. Idealistic romanticism may be a factor in our relationships today. This transit increases sensitivity to the subtler aspects of reality, with people experiencing a flash of ESP or other types of mystical experiences.

The 2nd is 12 – Eb "eb" or Road: understanding through serving your community in the Tzolkin calendar.

November 3rd is 13 – Ben "ben" or Reed or Corn: movement to the next stage through maintaining the home, with Mercury sextiles Pluto, which loves the mysterious and wants to know what cannot be known. Our minds are active in penetrating below the surface in a search for core knowledge and real knowledge in our search for truth. This is great energy for studying psychology, astrology, occult subjects, and healing techniques that are aimed at regeneration. Folks may be certain of their "truths" and engage in trying to convince others who are also certain of their personal truth, so this pairing might be better to focus on our own investigation and save persuading others for another day.

    So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Crocodile trecena, take some time to be in the flow of the planet by being in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being conscious of the moment through introspection, meditation or being with someone you love. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

Human Design Weekly Neutrino Forecast for October 16th to October 22nd 2016

This is the "Weekly Neutrino Forecast for October 16th to October 22nd 2016."

    On October 16th we have the Sun in Libra, and also in the 32nd hexagram. The Sun in the 32nd hexagram is mapped to an opening in an energy channel called a gate, which is the 32nd gate of "Continuity (Duration); The only thing that endures is change." Located on the Splenic center in a tribal energy path in the Ego Circuit, called the "Channel of the Transformation: a design of Being Driven" that connects to the 54th Gate of "Ambition (The Marrying Maiden); Interaction in its mundane social context but also one's mystical and cosmic relationships." I have found HD to be amazingly accurate in describing the person, that I use it as my primary tool when I provide readings. We have the following activated gates on October 16th; the Sun in the 32nd gate, the Earth in the 42nd gate, North node in the 64th gate and the South Node in the 63, Mercury in the 57th gate, Venus in the 14th gate, Mars in the 38, Jupiter in the 18th, Saturn in the 5th, Uranus retrograde in the 42, Neptune retrograde in the 37, and Pluto in the 38th gate. Obviously not every gate activation forms a channel, but this information can be very helpful if you know your own Human Design chart, because some of these transits will form channels with potentials in your personal body graph.       

The neutrino forecast is just a weather report, no matter what the weather an individual's strategy and authority is the correct choice to have an authentic experience regardless of the program. As Ra Uru Hu said "Whatever the weather is going to be, you have your neutrino umbrella. As long as you are experimenting with your strategy and authority, the weather is for your pleasure."       

We begin the week with no channel definitions due to the transit field. 

We are going to look at the Sun's Rave I'Ching line values daily because 70% of the neutrinos we receive come from the Sun and as Ra said in "Living with the Program: The Lines of the Day" when talking about these daily shifts of line values, he said "We can always take advantage of the themes of the day." If your strategy and authority does not lead you in that direction, you can always notice how the program is affecting others in your environment. So let's get started.

October 16th begins with the Sun in the 3rd line of the 32nd hexagram. The Sun in the 32.3 is "Lack of continuity: exalted: Indecision and persistent reevaluation, that only because of its basic intelligence manages to endure. Indecision in times of transformation. detrimented: An overreliance on traditionally legitimized standards that in times of change can be totally out of step and suffer unexpected humiliation. A lack of instinct in times of transformation." The third line is the Martyr, with a trial and error process, bonds made and broken, and a system of discovery by figuring out what doesn’t work. Things bump into you on a third line day, so be careful on the roads. Be careful of swinging doors or swinging elbows. This is a day where we might have bonds made or broken, or feel like we’re on trial. It's a good material day. A good day to do business and work on the material plane, but you also have to be careful because things can go wrong. Things that lead to discovery. Later on the 16th the Sun moves into the 4th line of the 32nd hexagram at 8:15 am EDT (12:15 UT). The Sun in the 32.4 is described as "Right is might: exalted: Even in times of change certain underlying principals endure. The instinct to maintain one' principals in times of change. detrimented: Inner strength and endurance as long as it is not threatened from the outside. The instinct to maintain one's principals as long as one's security is not threatened." Fourth line days are the Opportunist and change from inward perspective to looking outward, from personal to trans-personal, with the themes of friendship, of companionship, of networking. Fourth line days are great for social interaction.

On the 17th the Sun moves into the 5th line of the 32nd hexagram at 6:56 am EDT (10:56 UT). The Sun in the 32.5 is described as "Flexibility: Easy adaptation to circumstances. exalted: Where superficiality is a valuable tool that while masking the inner light permits adaptation to prevailing conditions. An instinct for adaptation in times of change. detrimented: The urge to express oneself in direct and often violent rejection of conformity. The potential of the instinct to reject adaptation and conformity in times of change." The Fifth line is about projection, first positive followed by negative. It’s the Heretic. Positive projection being “they could do this…”, “they’re the perfect person to do…” whatever is the projection, and if the person does not do it, can’t do it, does not want to do it, they do not meet the expectation, then the projection changes from positive to negative, the person gets punished, the heretic gets tied to the stake. The fifth line day is heretical, a day of suspicion, also a day of universalization. Something can leak out and spread very rapidly like a virus. YouTube video where suddenly there's millions of viewings or a facebook post that goes viral. But there is a great deal of suspicion and paranoia on a 5th line day, which impacts the nature of relationships. Of course if they are projecting on you and you are not meeting their expectations, and they want to punish you, that’s not paranoia. Seduction is also a theme of a fifth line day.

On the 18th the Sun moves into the 6th line of the 32nd hexagram at 5:37 am EDT (9:37 UT). The Sun in the 32.6 is "Tranquility: The need to calmly face impermanence. exalted: An underlying acceptance of change that may or may not lead to tranquility. The instinctive awareness to accept change and transformation. detrimented: Impermanence as proof of meaninglessness with its attendant manifestations, depression, delusion, and in the extreme, self-destruction. The fear engendered when change is experienced as impermanence, and the potential for depression." The sixth line is on the roof of the hexagram. It’s the Role Model. When I think about being on the roof of a building, I don’t tend to look at the building, rather what’s around the building, what’s in the neighborhood, what’s down the road, what’s on the horizon… Ra said sixth line days are about "not to get stuck with your head in the clouds because you'll end up having something bang into your kneecaps."  A day where there is a real lack of focus of what's going on around you, because folks are looking beyond their immediate environment. Like a 3rd line day there are certain dangers. Not seeing the car coming. Not seeing a bill coming. Also on the 18th Venus moves from the 14th, to the 34th. In HD, Venus is very powerful and deeply misunderstood according to Ra. Venus is about values, morality, natural law in which we deal with the other and the consequences of the world around us. What disturbs you at a moral level? Your design and personality Venuses tell you the moral dilemma you're going to work with in your life. If you do not act with moral clarity, Venus can be unkind in its retribution. Venus in 34th gate of "Power (The Power of the Great); Power is only great when its display or use serves the common good," and Venus in the 34.1 is "The bully: The indiscriminate use of power. exalted: The less negative, the resort to power as a manifestation of frustration. The energy to display power as a response to frustration. detrimented: The comeuppance that is the inevitable destiny of the bully. The ever present risk of retaliation to power displays." In the program, Venus is about control through maintaining the status quo, in the way in which we operate with each other. We experience the transiting planets through the Maia. We are not here to avoid the Maia, but to embrace it, as yourself, through following your Strategy and Authority. With Venus in the 34th hexagram and the Mercury in the 57, we have the Channel of Power, which is the design of an Archetype, which will be with us until October 19th. This channel brings an attunement to the body to have an acute early warning system to anything in the immediate environment. This increases intuitive awareness through the power of a sacral response in those who have this channel. This may affect folks to feel on guard and alert to any dangers in the moment. This is an animal instinct to engage in battle or jump out of the way with a split second response, from our attunement to sound and vibration. People will be more in tune to what is being said from the tone of voice of the speaker rather than the words spoken. Sometimes this is experienced as coolness by others, but this individual channel of survival represents the archetype of what it is to be human. The defined Splentic Center brings intuition and wellbeing. Ra warned that non Splentic people may let go of something that is good for them during a transit defining the Splenic Center. The Sacral definition also affects non-Generator types in feeling busy and having the endurance to work. They may also think they know when "enough is enough" which could lead to a premature or abrupt end to something that needs more time. As individual circuitry, this definition brings melancholy that is best used in creative activities.

On the 19th the Sun moves from the, 32nd to the 50th  and Earth moves from the 42nd Hexagram, leaving Uranus, to the 3rd Hexagram, in the Gate of "Ordering (Difficulty at the beginning); The fundamental challenge of initiation is to transcend confusion and establish order." This shift happens at 4:16 am EDT (8:16 UT), with the Sun in the 50th gate of "Values (The Cauldron): The values of historical continuity whose traditional values serve and enrich the present and the future.” The Sun in the 50.1 of "The Immigrant: Humbleness of origin that benefits rather than restricts destiny. exalted: The desire to be effective and successful, that builds on the most fundamental strengths while it refines its nature. The awareness that the growth and refinement of values will benefit destiny. detrimented: A dissatisfaction with/or embarrassment with origins, that makes an obsession of refinement. A dissatisfaction with original values that demand refinement." As we move from the 32 to the 50, we enter a Splenic tribal gate, in the defense circuit, of supporting tribal laws. The 50th gate of laws and rules as to how to raise children. It's a gate of rigidity. It's about protecting the tribe, and in doing so homogenizing children through the values of gate 50 and gate 27 Nourishment, a Sacral gate, that is about caring. The fertility for caring or not, connected to gate 50 by the channel of preservation bringing the relationship between nurturing and law. The defense circuit and can be deeply homogenizing of children through caring. Caring about their forms. Feeding them, protecting them from harm, keeping them safe from dangers, making sure they are clothed and have shelter. With the "not-self" homogenization of children by not knowing when enough is enough and holding on to thing that are not good for us or them, when there is too much caring, too much food, too much control, being overprotective, too much worry, coddling the child and arresting their development, which is detrimental. The 50th gate has the fear of responsibility for nurturing others, fear of marriage bonds. It's looking for the right king of caring, taking responsibility for family, community, nation, and planet. It's a source of intelligence, the guardian, that de-codifies it's awareness into taste, instinct, and intuition. One of the 8 profiling gates, the 50 is about security. It's polarity is the 3rd, a sacral gate of empowering individual mutation. The gate of Ordering, difficulty at the beginning. The start of life is difficult. It's difficult to be born. Gate 3 is a sacral gate that responds to life. It's individual, and thus is about empowerment. This is potentially very creative, in creating rules and laws, as if creating art. The 50 is tribal, so the rules, are regarding how we deal with each other and within a society. The 3rd gate is about the fulfillment of mutation. The 50 grounds the 3 with its laws that are essential for the tribe and particularly the protection of the young. Of course over time the laws change, they mutate, under the influence of the individual. The law that tribes are most concerned with relate to food and sex. What is allowed to bring nourishment to the tribe, is in the Cauldron. The first line is the investigator. When the Sun is in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line days people look inward and are absorbed with their own process. Lower trigram is a personal process. The theme of a first line day is a fear or anxiety that needs to be investigated. A day to study, not to act. Day to look into things, not jump. Good day to deal with things you don't understand, can't make sense of or don't know. Also on the 19th Mercury moves from the 57, to the 32, around and hour and a half after the Sun departs the 32, and Mars moves from the 38th, leaving Pluto, into the 54th hexagram. Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, is communication, expansion of human consciousness through communication not just as words but also music. What do you need to communicate in this life? We communicate the message of the design Mercury through the medium of the personality Mercury. This is the gate of "Continuity (Duration); The only thing that endures is change" and Mercury in the 32.1 is "Conservation: exalted: A life sustaining respect and attention to all aspects of a process. The potential to develop the instinct through detailed attention to the process. detrimented: The uncontrollable urge to bypass essentials which inevitably leads to the disruption of continuity. The fear of lack of potential, and the corresponding lack of attention." In the program, Mercury is about expression through communication. It influences the homogenized population to communicate about the themes of the gate and line that transiting Mercury inhabits. It's primary impact is psychological. It impacts the not-self mind. It distorts the way we look at things in a way that leads to action. This conditions people to think and communicate about the same things. In the 32nd gate, I expect people talk about survival on the material plane or the fear that there may not be enough resources for the tribe. Also on the 19th Mars moves from the 38th, leaving Pluto, into the 54th hexagram. Mars in the 54th gate of "Ambition (The Marrying Maiden); Interaction in its mundane social context but also one's mystical and cosmic relationships," and Mars in the 54.1 is "Influence: exalted: The ability to achieve through secret relationships, anywhere from the private advisor to the Satanist. Ambition energized through secret relationships which fuel influence. detrimented: A socially misguided insistence on formal recognition of a relationship, that in terms of influence, will diminish power. Ambition which demands formal recognition limiting influence." Mars represents the warrior archetype. By following our strategy and authority we slowly refine the energy of our design and personality Mars from immaturity to wisdom. Mars in the program is about expression through a mutation. This plays out in the mundane plane as change. These are changes that take hold in the homogenized world as fads or trends. This is an illusion, because the population is ready for the same changes at the same time because of transiting Mars. With Mercury in the 32nd and Mars in the 54th gate, brings us the Channel of Transformation: A design of being driven, until the 22nd. Which brings tribal energy to support our drive to attain a distant goal. This channel definition is a projected channel that must wait for the correct allies. This will influence us to transform raw energy into something that endures, to turn hard work into success. The themes of this definition are time, money, value, business and bargaining. As a conditioning force I'd expect we will see people wanting to be recognized for their hard work through material success. For those who don't value themselves or their place in the community, they may become workaholics under this influence. For those without a defined Root Center, this transit definition can bring pressure which may have folks hurrying to get things done to release their stress. The defined Splentic Center brings intuition and wellbeing. Ra warned that non Splentic people may let go of something that is good for them during a transit defining the Splenic Center.

On the 20th the Sun moves into the 2nd line of the 50th hexagram at 2:55 am EDT (6:55 UT). The Sun is exalted in the 50.2 and described as "Determination: exalted: The strength of purpose that can enjoy overcoming adversity to achieve its goals. The strength derived from maintaining one's values in the face of opposition of conditioning." The second line is the Hermit. Second line days everyone is waiting for something. Waiting to be called. Called for their natural talents. People are stuck in their own trip. Not a great day to have a party because no one will want to come.

 

On the 21st the Sun moves into the 3rd line of the 50th hexagram, at 1:33 am EDT (5:33 UT). The Sun in the 50.3 is "Adaptability: exalted: When unable to make it alone will naturally align itself with nurturing and protective forces. The awareness that to maintain one's principles and values, the support of others is necessary. detrimented: A resentment when its natural mental gifts are ignored and is forced to curry favor in order to survive. Discomfort with the awareness that one cannot stand alone by one's principles." The third line is the Martyr, with a trial and error process, bonds made and broken, and a system of discovery by figuring out what doesn’t work. Things bump into you on a third line day, so be careful on the roads. Be careful of swinging doors or swinging elbows. This is a day where we might have bonds made or broken, or feel like we’re on trial. It's a good material day. A good day to do business and work on the material plane, but you also have to be careful because things can go wrong. Things that lead to discovery.

On the 22nd the Sun moves into the 4th line of the 50th hexagram at 12:10 am EDT (4:10 UT). The Sun in the 50.4 is described as "Corruption: The lack of enriching values. exalted: The malefic gift of turning inferior values into material success. The capacity to maintain one's strength despite inferior values. detrimented: With such energy and no traditional values, the worst can be expected. The potential disregard of values that may lead to corruption or the breakdown of the defense system." Fourth line days are the Opportunist and change from inward perspective to looking outward, from personal to trans-personal, with the themes of friendship, of companionship, of networking. Fourth line days are great for social interaction. Later on the 22nd the Sun moves into the 5th line of the 50th hexagram at 10:46 pm EDT (2:46 UT on the 23rd). The Sun in the 50.5 is described as "Consistency: When continuity has brought success, it should not be tampered with. exalted: The disciplined and natural conservatism to avoid unnecessary change. The conservative awareness that basic principles should not be abandoned casually. detrimented: A perverse reaction to rebel against the methodology of one's very success. When effectively stimulated, the drive to rebel against basic principles." The Fifth line is about projection, first positive followed by negative. It’s the Heretic. Positive projection being “they could do this…”, “they’re the perfect person to do…” whatever is the projection, and if the person does not do it, can’t do it, does not want to do it, they do not meet the expectation, then the projection changes from positive to negative, the person gets punished, the heretic gets tied to the stake. The fifth line day is heretical, a day of suspicion, also a day of universalization. Something can leak out and spread very rapidly like a virus. YouTube video where suddenly there's millions of viewings or a facebook post that goes viral. But there is a great deal of suspicion and paranoia on a 5th line day, which impacts the nature of relationships. Of course if they are projecting on you and you are not meeting their expectations, and they want to punish you, that’s not paranoia. Seduction is also a theme of a fifth line day. Also on the 22nd Mercury moves from the 32, to the 50, joining the Sun, and Venus moves from the 34th, to the 9th. Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, is communication, expansion of human consciousness through communication not just as words but also music. What do you need to communicate in this life? We communicate the message of the design Mercury through the medium of the personality Mercury. What might be communicated with Mercury in the 50? Do we have the correct rules for caring? And are we afraid of the responsibility for nurturing others? This is the gate of "Values (The Cauldron): The values of historical continuity whose traditional values serve and enrich the present and the future." and Mercury in the 50.1 is "The Immigrant: Humbleness of origin that benefits rather than restricts destiny. exalted: The desire to be effective and successful that builds on the most fundamental strengths while it refines its nature. The awareness that the growth and refinement of values will benefit destiny. detrimented: A dissatisfaction with/or embarrassment with origins, that makes an obsession of refinement. A dissatisfaction with original values that demand refinement." Also on the 22nd Venus moves from the 34th, to the 9th. In HD, Venus is very powerful and deeply misunderstood according to Ra. Venus is about values, morality, natural law in which we deal with the other and the consequences of the world around us. What disturbs you at a moral level? Your design and personality Venuses tell you the moral dilemma you're going to work with in your life. If you do not act with moral clarity, Venus can be unkind in its retribution. Venus in 9th gate of "Focus (The taming power of the small): Potential can be fulfilled through detailed attention to all pertinent aspects," and Venus in the 9.1 is "Sensibility: A balanced and responsible approach to problem solving. exalted: The ability to avoid frustration through the creation of new forms. The power in focusing to create new forms. detrimented: After a hasty and frustrating search, the urge to kick in the door when the key is in your pocket. The power to generate that which will lose its focus." 

    So no matter what energies are conditioning you during the week, remember this experience is about being a passenger riding in a vehicle driven by the magnetic monopole. So enjoy the scenery, and let the vehicle take you where you need to go, through using your strategy and authority. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.
