The Wind’s Song
by
Saul Stacey Williams

the square root of a kiss is a hum
 i hum under my breath when i contemplate
the drum of your heartbeat
and my heart beats for your breath
 i revel in the wind for mere glimpses

i’m tornado over you
would you look into the eye of my storm
 i whirlwind through your life like breeze
and fill your lungs
 as we achieve the second power of a hum

I love…

as instruments come to life through breath
the wind sends my high notes to indigo communions
with Coltrane’s “Favorite Things”
…this is my body
which is given for you,
this is my blood
 which is shed for you…

my love like the wind, uncaged
blows time into timeless whirlpools
 transfiguring fear and all of it’s subordinates
(possession, jealousy, fear)
into crumbling dried leaves

my love
is the winds slave
and, thus is free

my love
 is the wind that is shaped
as it passes through the lips of earthly vessels
becoming words of wisdom
songs of freedom
or simply hot air

my love is the winds song
 if it is up to me, i’ll never die.
 if it is up to me, i’ll die tomorrow
one-thousand times in an hour
and live seven minutes later

if it is up to me, the sun will never cease to shine
 and the moon will never cease to glow
 and i’ll dance a million tomorrows
in the sun rays of the moon waves
and bathe in the yesterdays of days to come
ignoring all of my after thoughts
& preconceived notions

if it is up to me,
if it is up to me.
and thus my love:
untainted
eternal

the wind is the moons imagination wandering:
it seeps through cracks
explores the unknown
and ripples the grass
my love is my souls imagination
 how do i love thee?
imagine

Polarity Pong

Void Moon in Aquarius
Moon into Pisces 
Monday 4:49am CST, USA

The more I study astrology, the more I love to watch the energies of synastry unfold.
It fascinates me – the underlying theme that makes people tick / tock. 
I’m a Leo Venus in 8th; a cat burglar picking human energetic frequency locks.

Where is the high voltage ? 
How do we plug into each others sockets ? 
Where are we grounded ?
Where are we getting love morphine straight to the vein ?  <~ Yeah baby, I want sommadat.

Here’s how you do it.  Get your natal, get natal of the person you are keen to figure out.
Drop their natal planets into your natal chart.  Eg. put their Aries Mars into your Aries house, their Taurus Sun into your Taurus house…etc… all around the wheel drop their planets into your houses.

Conjunctions are areas where the energy works together like a team of horses – same polarity and element, there is innate understanding, see life from the same vantage point.

Trines are where co-operation is easy – same polarity, same element, yet different signs, different natures, similar expression through a different approach.

Squares are friction and obstacles where positive meets negative, different elements – energy is restless.  Ignore at your peril !  Solve your squares, and you have the relationship growth you are looking for.  Squares operating well are more powerful than a trine when well oiled and firing on all pistons – because you are covering more bases – more polarities, more elements to express the energy.

Oppositions are compromises of the same polarity, different elements – indicates a juggling of power and energies.  My turn / your turn type of thing.

Sextiles are the same polarity, different elements – they indicate areas of opportunity, growth and merging of energy.  Sextiles must be activated, you have to look for the opportunities here, you have to make them happen.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A few examples:

My Super Sag ex has Jupiter smack on my Saturn, that feels good, lemme tell ya.  Happy-go-lucky, life of the party Jupiter on Old Cuss sourpuss Saturn ?  Hell yeah it felt good.  My Saturn trines my Sag Mars, so his Jupiter does too.  We traveled all over the states to hear live music.  We went on tour and threw down hard . . . good times though. I have a ton of Sag energy for not actually being one. 
Note: learned astrology = mystery solved re: why I have dated so many Sagittarians !

The major stumbling block – his 4 planet Sag stellium (falls in my 12th) squares my Virgo Sun/Ura/Plu stellium. His personal planets were drug into surprise metamorphosis that is, well, me.  and vice versaNote: energy does go both ways.  His Moon smack on my Moon – we felt the same about many things, particularly music and partying – we both have a killer Moon Neptune opposition. This ended up not being not so good, obviously.  I still dream about the curve ball surprises he dished up: part and parcel of the 12th house activation.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
 My Dad had Uranus smack on my Toro Moon (trine my stellium), Suns trine, Saturns conjunct (which trined my Mars and his Venus which were conjunct).  When he was in the hospital and I would show up, the nurses always remarked how quickly his blood pressure / heart rate would normalize.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I recently met someone with Virgo Moon – conjunct my Sun, trine my Moon.  His Mars smack on my Moon, his 8th house stellium conjuncts my Saturn and trines my Mars. I mentally noted how weird it was that I felt comfortable right off the bat.  We dove into metaphysical subjects straight away when we hung out, and he was picking up on all things astro / tarot lickety-split. My Sag Mars sextiles his Jupiter in Aquarius – if he wants to learn astro, he’s got a teacher, but he has to ask for it.  haha

Uranus rules oddballs, eccentrics, science, flight, electricity, intuition.
Short post today, crazy day at work, more later.
GMA

I see you.

So I am at home today sucking back juice and GSE (grapefruit seed extract) trying to fend off this cold flu thing watching Avatar and it occurs to me – my life parallels this art.

Virgo Sun / Uranus / Pluto in 9, here.
Life, sudden death – metamorphosis – polarity reversal, awareness.

Jake loses a brother, goes into stasis, wakes to be thrown into a completely foreign (virtually deadly) world, rich with unknown hostile giants of tooth & claw.   As is present in all life, polarities emerge: Pandora slowly reveals herself to be breathtakingly divine: she is life-changing and affirming, she is exquisitely engaging and enriching.

Everything is backwards now, like out there is the true world, and in here is the dream.
– Jake Sully

Jake is awakened to limitless possibilities . . . he embraces his quest . . . takes crazy risks . . . his awareness expands . . .  he awakens . . . unfolds like a lotus blooming from the mud.
He finds himself metamorphing every waking and sleeping moment he is firing on all pistons all the time:

Physical earth
Emotional fire
Mental air
Spiritual water

Earthkind is metamorphing NOW via Uranus Pluto square.

::::::::::::::::::
Being born with this SUN/Ur/Plu conjunction means this Uranus Pluto square is the breaking AND making of me, for Sun is the ME in the natal. 

With Sun conjunct, this is when I get out my cosmic clipboard and tick off the columns of where I am up to this point.  Why was I born ?  AM I of USE ?  (Didya get the clever twist of Cap rising there ?)

My shining team of 9th house horses that were pulling the same plow at my birth are now at odds and I am basically figuring how to get some cohesion in energy expression through positive outlets with two cranky, snapping horses going two different directions.  Sun is where YOU SHINE in the natal, and right now my shine feels more like coal being compressed.

All earthkind is experiencing this square and a revision of personal goals as they relate to us globally as ONE.  (Uranus and Pluto are slow moving generational planets)

Cosmic clipboard time: How have we progressed since the late 1960’s ? 
We need a bit of global goal tweaking, dontcha think ?
Aries vs. Capricorn

Go vs. Stay
New vs. Old
intense pressure : change/ release/ metaphorical death : rebirth, new growth

The square in the natal is the cosmic testing ground of life contracts via personal goals – by the time we move on to the next round, our obstacle course will be littered with failures and triumphs.
Globally, earthkind is now feeling a need to restructure generational goals. 

Through these years of Uranus Pluto square we will hit the wall, fall over, get back up shake it off, adjust approach – repeat.  
The squares in the contract we were born with will show where we have to find the inner fire to go for it, the inner earth to build it, the inner water to feel it, or the inner air to speak it.

Quick run down for you :
GO FOR IT 
in house Aries
TEAR IT DOWN and REBUILD IT 
in house Capricorn

This square positively expressed :  we will be clearing our past, ditching the useless, choosing our allies, creating new paradigms, honing our personal energy fields, becoming more streamlined conduits of the universal energy, fighting the good fight for enlightenment, love, peace and balance.

gotta Roll with it baby

List of Seven – Les Edwards

Well, this has certainly been an interesting week. . . lots of nifty little oddball surprizes PoPing up all over the shop.
Mail ? !  Yeeees. 
 Hawks circling, phones and interwebs buzzing with messages outgoing & incoming !
Most bizarre.  I love it !
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

We are under a Sagittarius (heading into dark) moon, with Venus hours away from the Capricorn party – – Pluto, Mercury, Sun and a tidy little applying square to Uranus.

This show’s not over yet, babes – and it’s bound to get tweaked a little weirder in the coming few !  So head’s UP !

Keep your eyes on the summit not the steep grade below.

Pisces Chiron square Jupiter Rx in Gemini.  Early degrees of your mutable signs are getting a double shot of reconfiguration juice – like it or not, here it comes. 

Chiron is sextile Pluto – spread your wings and fly baby !

Set yourself free.
Lay down the shiny object and back away slowly.

Capricorn rules matter.
What matters ?  What really matters ?
Not sure yet . . ?
Wondering how you are gonna get right ?  Heal and move on ?
It’s cool. . .
we’ve got Jupiter Rx grinding the Gemini gears workin’ that shiz out.  

Jus’ sayin’.  Chill.  It’s comin’…

Cardinals ? 
Well, you all get to do what you all do best – initiate changes !
Fling yourself into the fray – & – figure it out on the fly !

Obviously Capricorn and Aries houses are under strain – NO PAIN, NO GAIN.
Personal metamorphosis par excellance * pinkies out PRIMO * in early degrees of these signs.  Inner struggles are causing MAJOR GROWTH SPURTS.

Capricorn is packin’ a punch at the moment.  
Aries ? – who the hell knows what’s goin’ on in there ?!
Uranus is in da house !

Fair Warning !

Aries house is PingZinging oddball messages to house Libra – better pack a lunch bigtime peace talks in progress.  Float like a butterfly baby, bob & weave.

Cancer is up to bat in the Seagoat school of Hard Knocks – hey battah battah  swing battah !!  
This Cappy pitcher is packin’ : Pluto, Mercury, Sun and here comes Venus.
Step up to the plate – retreat is not an option.  Channel pass – agg emotional wranglings into workable daily step-by-step progress. Progress is progress – keep at it.  Take a swing – reflect, evaluate – repeat.  Knock it outta the ballpark !


peace out & happy dark Moonie to y’all.

birds of a feather

I’ve been thinking about Saturn, totems, time, family, promises and bonds.

Totem poles are carved to delineate family ancestry, clan history, folklore or real life, or to commemorate a particular individual.

A widespread hawk swooped down today as I was driving and landed in the median next to me.  (No, I am not going to tell you if he landed left or right – time in my life is fluid, in flux, always.)

We were in synch – hawk landed at the exact moment I passed – just as I was speaking my heart aloud.  Yes exact is the term I use because in that moment my words formed a bond.  Hard to explain, but messages from my brother are accentuated in hawks – hawk messages are exclamation points.

Hawks form a bridge between past and present.
Hawk was a manifestation of Grand Air Trine meets physical plane

My brother and Father recently visited in an intuitive reading, via Mercury, Pluto, and Sun in Capricorn….totems, time, family, promises and bonds.

I feel their presence, sometimes more than others, but then I feel your presence as I write this too.  You…yeah you !  My readers, wondering where I am leading you…and showing up regardless of the strange paths I takemany heartfelt thanks (deep bow).
::::::::::::::::::

:::::::::::::::::

So you are wondering why I speak of hawk, when a macaw greeted you at the door ?

Life is not so easily explained.

Many times the larger electro-magnetic spectrum is not apparent until the faceted human crystal is turned, attuned, Neptuned to the proper frequency.

What is said two years ago may not make sense until tomorrow.
A
 bird of the SUN, a Macaw, enlightens me
Is it You ?
Or is it Me ?
Most likely it is US.

Macaws are bold, colorful and Mercurial – they are very intelligent observers, mimics that communicate bird (Uranian) world – – to human (Saturnian) world.  The Macaw is a builder of bridges; an ambassador, a diplomat (Libra).  Clever and cheeky – they watch, pull pranks, turn jokes to delight and amuse. (Leo)

Macaws ARE portals between worlds.

Mercurial Macaws can also be repetitive copycats that speak without thinking.  Their words can be hollow, shallow, gossipy and twisted to be pleasing to the ear for a time, but not necessarily grounded, or in any way promisorial in nature.  Tricky pranksters that enjoy a leg – pull, they are master manipulators, who enjoy clowning around – not necessarily on any shared emotional time schedule, if you get my drift.

Macaws in my head are thinkbirdtankbrains : Mercury Uranus Libra and Leo.
Most importantly, the Hyacinth Macaws pictured above are red listed.
Thoughts ?
