Your October 9th, 2020 SI, with the Moon Direct in Cancer since 11:45A 10/8. The Moon will continue its travel through Cancer to enter its next Void of Course Astro Sign Lunar Synapse Saturday 10/10 at 12:04p and emerge Direct in Leo at 8:24p 10/10. It will continue Direct through the weekend until diving into its next Void Of Course Psychic Astro Sign Synapse on 10/12 at 10:29a, to emerge Direct again on 10/13 at 12:56a in Virgo. All times given are EST In the USA.

Take the energetic Aries opportunity to engage in things that amplify your energies, things you are passionate about. I would suggest that the meditation is to embrace the heft balance to stay in your lane so to speak so your higher octave Aries energies emanate rather obliterate. Out of your lane might be like bumper cars or Pachinko balls bouncing around all over. In your lane and breathing deeply may stoke your Inner fire with the good stuff of You.

Nevermind mastery. Mastery leads to further discovery, and Aries can sharpen your points through expert skill in play. It’s advised to keep an extra sheath around, though. I suggest to light a candle that you do not blow out in a fire-safe place.

Laughter is the shortest distance between people.

Your Tarot Birth Cards for Oct 9th, 2020

Temperance ~ Hierophant

• 

• 

• 

Excellent Birth Card Pair to continually embrace big changes as you engage with your established identity. Even if these are not Your Tarot Birth Cards, it can be a great exercise to explore them as if they were and see what new perspectives you discover, and what intense energies that oppose one another you harness for your Higher Good.

How can you World-Altar your life with your down-to-earth spirit that magically mixes with balance? I suggest to not get lost in that. There’s always a way. I say, Don’t waste trouble. Jodorowski put it better at a higher octave when his Chariot spoke and said, I made a diamond out of my misfortune. Taken that way, the intense heat and pressures of the world can be World-Altaring instead to…. What diamond do you make with the pressures of your life?

This Week

It’s a #5 day today, so enjoy the:

Mystereum Tarot Moment 5 of Pentacles.

1 min 06 sec

and

I say, Don’t waste trouble. Jodorowski’s Chariot said, I made a diamond from my misfortune. With Mindfulness in troubled times how do you embrace your established inner light to activate effective actions? How can you exhale The Nemesis of Beauty Asphyxiator of anxiety so it doesn’t smoke out your inner fire?

I refer to the 5 of Pentacles as the Inspect Your Expectations card. Rather than pity or shame or guilt or loss, how can you look past that to the higher octave of your warm and established inner light, Your Inner Hearth? How can you look past the blind spots and illusions and mirages of what you expect to see, and see and experience what is really there? Justice and The King of Swords are a great pair of allies to explore that question With the 5 of Pentacles.

What messages do Justice (VIII or XI depending on how you roll) and The King of Swords Gift to you for your 5 of Pentacles?

Tarot Voice Prompt Exercise

How do YOU harness intense energies in real time? Record yourself speaking about The Chariot and/or Temperance and/or The Hierophant and/or the 5 of Pentacles. Close your eyes and play yourself back. Listen deeply to your voice and what you hear even more than what you said. What do you hear, and how does it come across to you? Do you hear anything new? What do the highs and lows of your voice tell you? What about the flow? Dance like no one’s watching, click record, and speak like no one’s listening. Share what happens if you like.

Writing Prompt Exercise

Look out the window. Go Inside and look out the window… look out the window of yourself (Temple of You) for 1min 06sec, and record yourself on your phone or a tape recorder again doing the above, or Morse Code, however you roll. Ask yourself: What do I craft from the pressures in my life? How do you allow this inform your perspective? What will you do about it?

Recently

This Week intense energies that I harnessed were published yesterday. My article The Kintsukuroi of Self was published in Issue 35 of The Tarot Association’s Tarosophist International Magazine.* I’m stoked with the honor, and beyond pleased with the quality of their presentation. Thank you Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin and the Tarosophy Team!

* Members only magazine. No tease. Just to let you know. I suggest to check out the Tarosophy Tarot Association.

Again, This Week, A Meditative Suggestion in Regards to This Week’s Music Selections

Rather than listen to the words as being from one person to another, or the artist to you or to another, will you allow the words to be yours spoken to you and your internal community? As if a play produced about you? Some of them may fall flat and not apply. Then again, some may spark something inside with this listening exercise. Dance along to your play if you feel to. Give it a go, and see what happens when you turn poetry/lyrics inward to speak to yourself as if they originated from you to you. I played with Silence this week, so the music is the same as last week’s. Listen or hop right over it with Silence and dig into the intensities in everyone’s blogs this week.

A Blast From The Past: 2014

So, here’s what you car might look like the next morning in the winter from your energy after a WONDERFUL marathon 4-hour Reading the day before and a 30-minute drive home. Love the Baby Dragon Wings border and living flows across the Moon Roof.

Nothing Else Matters ~ Metallica Cover

Here We Go into Your Serendipity Itinerary for October 9th

Serendipity Itinerary Sites

There are excellent new posts this week! Think you’ve seen them before? Me, too. Then, there was this week. The vibe, like the world, is all over the place, to each their own. All similar, each unique. My image is splashing in the water. Just splash and splash and let the splash be… unless you’re in Oz or South Africa. Then, do that in a pool. I wouldn’t;t want you to hear dangerous cello music in the ocean. Du Nuh…

I suggest take 2 you are familiar with and revisit their current posts. Then, I-Ching ’em and run your own Serendipity Itinerary to 2 that are new to you. Another great week. Prepare this month to not waste trouble. The stars and planets are menacing if you let them be, and magical allies if you OWN them. I suggest to not take shit this week from the stars. Turn around and see where they are coming from. Your perspective might shift to your benefit. Breathe out and take out your broom to clean sweep anxiety out! Fear is like Inner Iolite, the Nordic Compass. Use it as awareness, and please do take care not to let anxiety hijack it from you to jack it into being afraid. SHIELDS UP for the rest of the month! Make it so!

About Martha: After thirty years teaching writing in San Diego, in 2014, I returned to live in my home state, Colorado. I live in the remote, beautiful and mysterious San Luis Valley.

I respect when people swim in their own crucible to discern and come to a more resonant relationship with themselves. It can be swimming in magma at times, though isn’t that how crystals and geodes are made? Clarity and creativity and actionable feel often come out of strong Soul Gardening such as Ari’s. I look forward to where this exploration leads.

Scott Spillman ~ The Point Magazine. New article, Charismatic Models.(My words follow, these are not Scott’s or the Magazine’s) I loathe politics as the great irony of our time, maybe any time when people who are not personally sovereign can be ruled simply by the sniff of a suggestion. This, is not that.

Chthonic Numinosity, depth with no fear of addressing behemoth-level emotional topics through her poetry and evolved wonderment and continual curiosity. She runs deep, and takes the proper gear to do so… herself. I see a chthonic numinosity in her poetry that is akin to night and day stained glass. Well worth the visit. Powerful. Intense. Heartfelt. I advise to bring tissues for all the right reasons.

Dr. Eric Perry ~ Psychology to Motivate | Inspire | Uplift. Wonderfully full and relevant and engaged Psychology articles with clarity of voice. I full-on dig when things are as robust as they are clear, especially when directly dealing with intensities. This site, is certainly that.

The Dihedral ~ More than just climbing. A lot more. And, climbing is a lot in itself. Read a new route today at The Dihedral. Dammit! No, not wormsign. Worse. The covert Covid-19 struck again. Visit The Dihedral for a seriously wicked and wonderfully solid attitude of Not Wasting Trouble.

Cristian Mihai ~ Professional Blogger. Sense & Sensibility meets the info age? He’s not afraid to say it, whatever he says. No walking on eggshells here, well, unless he starts making compost for the garden. Excellent tips for bloggers and thinkers and feelers.

Susi Bocks ~ I Write Her. My words for Susi’s writing go something like this. You talk a good game, Dood, but can you (Susi) Bocks? Concise might even be too long a word. The consistency of depth here is… well, I have a deep respect for how much she does with so little and its never sparse. Muscular and powerful language. I’d call her the Bruce Lee of words.

Enjoy the DNA of our Solar System as it moves along its 230-million year orbit around our Milky Way galaxy. Credit to A.T. Mann for sending me this years back when he was a guest on my Inner State Highways internet TV show. Hmmm, I miss doing that. Well, I might want to do something about that…

This is such a cool creation about the larger creation we live our own orbits within, and looks like the DNA orbits within us as well. Go figure. Know thyself and know the universe just took on a simple tone as well.

Helix and DNA strands anyone? There’s such a wonderful Who let the dogs out? Us, our world and solar system itself in orbit.
