The doctrine that matter is unconscious which science is based on traps scientists into thinking that the entire universe – the stars, the galaxies, all the other planets, everything else on this planet – is unconscious.  That we for some peculiar evolutionary reason have become conscious, but our conscious doesn’t do anything.  That is the world view that most scientists have, and I think it is a deeply unsatisfactory one.  
If we take the idea that material systems can be conscious, then all sorts of new questions come up – for example – the sun is a complex material system, could the sun in some sense have a mind or be conscious or be aware ?

Rupert Sheldrake

Vyacheslav Mishchenko 2Biologist Rupert Sheldrake is a big hero of mine.
He SEES nature the way I do – he is bursting with curiosity towards all life, with an open mind that craves exploration, new perspectives – most importantly – he USES what he SEES to make connections between all life forms.

I have listened to several of his lectures with Terence McKenna et al.  I love the philosophical banter, friendly conversation, exploring ideas from differing perspectives with like-minded explorers. Trilogues here.  The interview that features the quote above is below this post, and yet another interview (I have not heard it yet) will likely show up in comments later tonight or tomorrow.

Rupert is a Scorpio rising ( ! ) Cancer Sun conjunct Jupiter (exalted) opposite Moon in Capricorn.
Very caring (Cancer) and delightfully philosophical, he is a whiz at balancing (7th house) elemental principles – fire/inspiration, earth/material, water/emotions, and sky/mind.

He is one whammy thinker with a 4 planet Gemini stellium straddling the 7/8 houses.  Venus conjunct Uranus and Saturn in 7 – Mercury (ruling) Gemini in the 8th house of deep research, metaphysics and UNCOVERING the UNSEEN depths.

Venus conjunct Uranus is a love of the wild – doubly so conjunct Saturn or Earth and with all three trine Neptune in late Virgo he represents ALL sizes and forms of life.
Neptune feels it, believes it – then Virgo PROVES it.

Responsibilities to stewardship of our planet, all planets and all life is part and parcel of North Node of Destiny in Virgo conjunct Midheaven from the 10th.

vyacheslav-mishchenko8Leo Chiron conjunct Mars Pluto in the 9th is incredible !
Bulldozing the teachings of those who indeed need a kick in the seat of the pants for being so mistakenly CLOSE-MINDED and dogmatic regarding their one true scientific principles as irrefutable.  Ridiculous !  
Science is ever-changing, as is all life !  Rupert has undergone huge backlash for his statements like the quote above – he is a trailblazer, far ahead of his time, and in my mind, to be honored for speaking out !

Those who are unafraid of speaking their truth are the wisest and bravest of all.
Well done, Rupert, Well done.
In honor of Earth Day 2014.

micromiraculous

Dust magnified 22 milion timesDust magnified 22 million times.

Mars in late Virgo amping UP the organizing / cleaning to light speed.
Then this.
eep.
I soOo did not need a visual about the contents of dirt collecting, or be reminded of freakish microbugs on my lashes.
I knew this, but was happily ignoring. Now my brain has seized on it and I can’t unsee it.

Mercury in late Scorpio.
Mind on the micromiraculous.

Molecular metamorphs

Posted on by

Our eyes inform us that there is a definite boundary between us and the world around us, and so we perceive ourselves as entities separate to the wider universe—as individuals just making our home in this vast place.

But when we take a step back, we can see that we’re molecular machines built from a specific arrangements of atoms—atoms that existed before we were born and will continue to exist after we die. 

They were recycled from the dust of dead stars, and we’re only their temporary custodians.

Fundamentally, each of us is just a tiny individual expression of an enormous singular entity—so we are the universe perceiving and studying itself.

The idea that the individual and the universe are inseparable is a humbling, counter-intuitive and ultimately awe-inspiring idea—there’s a mad kind of beauty in knowing that we do not live in the universe, but rather we ARE the universe.

Running on Empty

Wherever Uranus and Sagittarius sit in your natal chart is where you need absolute freedom of expression and exploration. 

Aries house is getting a healthy dose of kick it out individuality via Uranus transit.
Communications, thinking, dualities; love, art, money and peace of mind are in expansion mode via transit through Sag. 

I have Sag on 12, the house of cosmic spirituality and mysticism; Uranus on the 9th, the house of philosophy, religion and higher thinking.  This is why I refuse traditional religious constraints of any kind.  Spirit is infinite. . . impossible to define in finite human terms.  Though I certainly do enjoy a healthy scientific exploration of the micro / macro multiverses.

Zero; emptiness / full of possibilities – the void / nirvana simultaneously.
Zero / googolplexian
I do love polarities – flipsides of the same thing – keeps life interesting !

powerless

Feeling the Cardinal Cross, at odds all morning…really forcing myself to come out of the shadows.  There are also water trine energies…so feeling meditative, contemplative with a chance of emotional undertow.  I’ve had my nose in a book, studying all morning.  Lots of info and patterns, circles coming back around…so much so I need more time to process.

Many of my generation (late 60’s) have their natal Scorpio Neptune being popped by the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse.  If you want an idea, here’s the approximate stats: 1965 Neptune 18′, 1966 Neptune 20′, 1967 Neptune 22′, 1968 Neptune 24′, 1969 Neptune 26′.

Total Solar Eclipse
November 13
21 56′ Scorpio

Pisces, and its ruler, Neptune are the psychic sponges of the zodiac.  If they are strong in your chart, you are going to be sensitive to vibrations / disturbances in the force, both positive and negative.

Those of you born with Neptune at 21+ degrees will have the solar eclipse energy applying (stronger) on your Neptune.  More about that in next post.

Moon-eyed feelings are in Cancer, ten days before an eclipse.  Water, home, mother and the public.  Intuition is sky high, feelings are tidal in this cross of action driven Cardinal signs.   Moon opposes Pluto the transformer, trines Sun and Saturn in Scorpio as rebuilding takes place on the Atlantic coast and islands hit by our mothers waves and fury.

It varies storm to storm, but on average, the diameter of hurricane-force winds is 100 miles, while the average diameter of tropical storm (gale) force winds is 300 to 400 miles.  Sandy was the largest hurricane (by gale diameter) ever observed in the Atlantic basin: 945 mi / 1,520km.

I did mention Saturn is in Scorpio – Saturn is slow, methodical and tests the patience.  Neither Saturn nor Pluto is fast acting; they are however extremely thorough in turning out the insides, shining a light, peering into the heart and soul of a situation and making it infinitely improved.

Being packed with Scorpio and Pluto energy (NNode is in Scorp too) is at this point a mixed blessing – a contradiction I am intimately familiar with – my 8th house Pluto is conjunct my Sun and trine my Moon.

Having and in fact, being an intense experience is all I have ever known.  I am generally given a wide berth. . .which ironically is a nautical term – compass to the fact I have a big Neptuner in 11.

Pluto means POWER and powerless.
Pluto forces surrender to the regenerative process.

Scorpio Saturn sextiles Pluto in Capricorn : mutual reception : slow, steady painful metamorphosis.

Straight – no chaser.
Emotional rebirth on the physical plane. 
Pluto and Saturn are tough and will force us to become tough as well.
This applies Micro (personally) and Macro (globally).

While Saturn is predictable: work, testing and perfecting – Pluto changes it up: life, tantric energy, death, rebirth and intensive research through experiencing all 3.

Yes, you have experienced death – you are eternally in a state of cellular, spiritual and emotional flux – this is Plutonic force at work within us.

Scorpio Saturn trines Chiron Rx in Pisces – this test will ultimately heal.  Chiron was the wounded centaur who studied the healing herbal arts, taught others and and in typical centaur fashion – he was optimistic, he had faith, and he was enthusiastic to learn.   Saturn in Scorpio = Time to dig in.
