What’s an Astro Focus Art Chart?
An Astro Focus Art Chart is when you indicate a particular part of your Chart you would like to focus in on. For example: I wanted to open up and unpack more of the messages in my 10th House Scorpio Mercury~Neptune conjunction. And, it turned into quite the Site Plan (top view) of what I saw as a Temple Complex like the Akropolis. Here are 2 of my Astro Focus Art Charts to visually give you a further description. The 1st is the Focus Chart for my 10th House Scorpio Mercurius~Neptune conjunction, and the second is a current Age Harmonic Focus Chart:

I bow in reverence to someone who I discovered literally for the sound of the voice in this poignant video, which was not directly related to his work. I went searching for WHO IS the person who commands the instrument of THIS VOICE?!!
I then began to discover this was simply the tip of many places full of and teaming with life. Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks did not narrate this video, though I found his work searching for who did. Most normal people would have just clicked MORE at the bottom of the video for the answer. Honestly, that didn’t even cross my mind. The power of the voice and visual story inter-weaving gave me the gift of a head turn and a long look into the distance. So, I took a step.
This Is Not His Voice, Though Is How I Found Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
A Visible masterpiece, a once in a lifetime piece of mind-art that defies description from the pen of Les Visible. Visuals from the incomparable Kscope here: https://vimeo.com/21912350
Music in this video Learn more Song: Dreaming Light Artist: Anathema Album: Dreaming Light
In The
In the scheme of things, this was a voiceover artist gig as a narrator. I am so glad Les Visible yes to this. It is another of many portals to discover people who make the world a better place for being here, and now, as of last week, for having been here.
Thank You Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. The search to find the above voice led me to yours. The memories of my experience of you are Indelible blessings. I have cherished them, will cherish them, and will always cherish them. Thank you. Heartfelt thanks to You. The Dignity of Difference is a shining facet of your life that lives on. And, you split arrows consistently with quality such as these two… of many many:
The Dignity of Difference: How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sachs. Thank You For Your Life.
I really don’t know that Night Vision and Inner Vision are very different from one another… other than To connect with darkness and Shadow within VERSUS To connect with Darkness in the shadows outside. When I practice one, the other is correspondingly enhanced without fail sans dout. I’d say it’s like Non-Local Mind, except for the fact that I live in the perpetual present, and Inner Vision and Night Vision confluence to mix together right in all my senses… so their commonplace connection in my experience makes the distance local at the level of 0’ – 0” away… the same distance away as the perpetual present.
I Love
I love this Image. Reminds me of my Embrace your inner storms. Marry them for life, and Thich Nhat Hanh’s, “When we take good care of our suffering, we can help others take good care of theirs,” and, “Hello, my pain. I know you are there, and I will take care of you. You don’t need to be afraid.”
I run a daily personal ritual called Becoming Besties with My Beasties. It’s a wonderful daily practice. Some people call it Shadow Work. I call it Shadow Mastery. Not for a big, ego head. Mastery leads to further discovery, and trees with strong roots laugh with storms, and I have learned to feel those storms in The reverent fullness of Empathic Silence as they rage. Sometimes, when they subside, they have a message. Sometimes, they ebb and flow back inside. They’ll come again. Differently next time, though they themselves will be the same. I will remember and welcome them… again and again until they spend their Chthonic Michelangelo Marble to reveal their Dark David to be fully in their power. That’s usually also when the message comes. When they’ve re-become what they were before whatever trauma, Have their message, and integrate to re-home in my body to dose me with more of myself… unless the content is an Archetype… In which case there are messages to unpack, though I do not expect integration, Moore the grace of welcoming the presence… and the beauty of confusion they can cause.
Her Divine Light
Her divine light united with the Moon — itself not having its own light as it has light from an unseen source reflected — and the postures of her Beastie Shadowy Entourage… She is defintely the mouthpiece, and they are following her, maybe having learned to patiently wait their turn. They feel enamored with her in this image. Go figure. She is their liberator. As she listens silently to each one fully and without interruption, I gather their storm will begin to subside, wherein she can softly lean in with, “What is your message?” And, upon their response, they integrate to live in her, dosing herself with more of herself, and brightening the light of Self with continual integrations… Very much a Kintsukuroi of Self process In action, with action. No smoking hope in this image. She is full-on engaged…. is my take on the image.
Feeling Into The Image Further
Feeling into this image further, this particular image started to feel so familiar. Not collective unconscious familiar. Not that its instant resonance was no short-timer and grew on me and with me. It simply felt familiar. When I woke up this morning, the message was clear. “Dood, your thesis. remember that thing 1/2 a Chiron Cycle back almost 30 years ago?” So, I went plowing through an old box Of things I wrote that never made it into any of my work, discards I saved rather than trashing, that I found almost instantly… Call it the Box for Inner Compost. So, Light illuminating Shadow As you said? I say most likely yes… AND at one and the same time to go with that Both~And style… :
In 1991-92 I 1st saw this image and wrote:
I feel this is not light illuminating the Shadow, but Shadow coming to be integrated to amplify the light. I feel the deep and infinite well of the Chthonic, unconscious contents, Shadow and Shadow citizens, is the source of the light…and as well that matter is spent light. At the deepest regions of the unconscious where the pressures get increasingly intense like with heavy water at the bottom of the ocean… the pressure is so great that nothing other than Inner Diamonds are made that then are ejected to the surface to make more room for pressure. Like a singularity compressed so densely it releases energy. ~~ (C) 1991-92 J. Jordan Hoggard during My Architectural Thesis entitled The Temple In Man: Pluribus. Out of Many, One.
Cool to me that I didn’t discover Carl Jung until the week before the end of my thesis, a good year past when the above was written, and OH BOY had I discovered an historical friend when I did. My writings and thinking and creativity and design were wonderfully congruent in that, “If you could sit down with one of your historical friends, who would the 1st be?” Discovering Carl Jung when I was 23, and I FINALLY had someone I would respond to that question with who I previously could only “talk to” in corresponding back and forth in the margins of his books.
For the Longest Time
I’ve for the longest time said, “Don’t waste Trouble.” Recently, I came across a Jodorowski passage where his Chariot speaks, “I made a diamond out of my misfortune.” And, my so dense at the depths of the unconscious where Inner DIamonds are made that are ejected to the surface statement… Time for me to get me waaaayyyyy some Mo Jodorowski’s nourishment as another historical friend. I love finding people from before I was even born, and suddenly I have another to resonate with in my work, and see historical friends and colleagues where our work is in parallel.
And, Yes
And, yes, I am comparing myself to Jung and Jodorowski, Anais Nin and Dorothy Parker even. Big head ego? Nah. If I relate to someone as much as I do them, it actually sets me apart more myself by counterpoint and distinction of identity, and they make me a better person by bringing me to continually work the plodding pace long-term to continually bring clarity to my voice.. That’s what happens with historical friends. I am not on my knees petitioning them or lying prostrate looking for approval. We’re just picking from the menu and Justice carding back and forth on the scale of coffee versus Carmenere as our banter lays down a thick mat of rich sol-luna-soil to garden As we interact. What a wonderful time to be had when you have great friends… alive and dead. Lol, the dead ones might talk back even more, as what do they have to lose.
This One Image
This one image, The Coming of the Faeries, is one my favorite, in my Top 4. It expresses the whole of the Individuation process at its base, completely and in totality. As soon as I find something missing from it, I’ll let you know. If you see something, certainly let me know… though, I gather most things, regardless, will hit and then turn to build right back into it. We’ll see.
I really don’t know that Night Vision and Inner Vision are very different from one another… other than To connect with darkness and Shadow within VERSUS To connect with Darkness in the shadows outside. When I practice one, the other is correspondingly enhanced without fail sans dout. I’d say it’s like Non-Local Mind, except for the fact that I live in the perpetual present, and Inner Vision and Night Vision confluence to mix together right in all my senses… so their commonplace connection in my experience makes the distance local at the level of 0’ – 0” away… the same distance away as the perpetual present.
Here is Your November Friday the 13th, 2020 SI. The Moon left Libra at 6:32a today to enter its Void of Course Astro Sign Synapse Journey. It will emerge Direct from the Void Synapse between signs in Scorpio at 11:19a today. The Moon will continue Direct as it moves through Scorpio to dive back under across the Void Synapse at 6:13a on Sunday, 11/15, to emerge Direct again in Sagittarius on 11/15 at 10:47a.
Void of Course is a bit like a mini-Mercury Rx, though instead of the magnetic drag of Mercury appearing to slow, which advises us to downshift, the opposite happens when the Moon goes Void of Course. Rather than drag, there is a slip, a letting go of the Astro Sign connection to disappear across the synapse of the cusp between signs. I feel the Void makes for a wonderful liminal horizon to surf with a foot on both sides, though I mark it in my schedule to not start new projects during it. I allow the flow of projects that have momentum to be worked with as we kind of Evil Knievel float through the air… to then land Direct on the ramp of the next sign, though without all the broken bones. … that we land Direct to reconnect our Inner LUNAtic to the next sign and engage with that creative gearbox.
Of note is that Jupiter joined Pluto in Capricorn yesterday kicking of a major shift in power. And, Mars goes direct to Station this evening, 11/13, at 7:36p. Mars Stationing Direct makes it a grand time to take a leap and be amplified by the intense burst of energy released.
* Note: All times given are EST In the USA.
Take the depth and directness of the Scorpio energies into your weekend, and team them up with the Mars Direct burst. I suggest to hold on. It’s not advised to get caught revving and have the tachometer up to the redline warming things up, and then accidentally sidestep the clutch when your foot slips. It’s going to be intense. Rather than worry or anxiety about falls, instead dial in your focus to your balance of intense things.
The not-things can get us in trouble all too easily. Focus on established priorities and established launches… even if its simply a walk in the park where you may vividly see and experience something you’ve not seen before. You know? That intensity of ablution tingles when your eyes light up when you discover something that moves you in a cool way.
How can you even up your keel, so that wind the big wind comes you shoot right out in the direction you intended… well, or at least in the range of that direction. There may be some torque that exceeds your grip at first. You;re the driver, though. Dial in to hang in and ride the initial squirrelly movements as your momentum sticks to engage forward movement in big ways.

You are not what you say you are going to do. You are what you do. ~ C.G. Jung
who you were when you were born, Self, return, identity, bright success in context
cycles, orbits, luck
first spark, focus, inception (II will be conception)
Excellent Birth Card Pair to continually spark ideas, cycle them through your process, and brightly bring them to bear with clear and shining identities. Your naturally enlightened voice from within brings them brightly out the shadows of Your Place of Creation and into the world where they can dance together WITH Shadow as integrated allies both driving thei life force.
A crucial component of these three Archetypes is that they engage inner contents and the unconscious as useful and factual realities. Psychic and intuitive and imaginative and unconscious contents simply provide more facts to go with what is out here. Even if these are not your Tarot Birth Cards, it can be a great exercise to explore them as if they were. See what new perspectives within yourself you can discover when you do. Have a hard time trusting your intuition? Heck, Mark Twain may have said it best with, Of course truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.

How can you justifiably without sense — simply because you do in a place where reasons are unreasonable — benefit from your Inner Enlightenment or simply Inner Clarity to bring things to full term like the Empress to be birthed into your life and the World?

Alchemical Gold from Transformation. Kintsukuroi of Self. Allow your Inner Splendor to flow up from within and fill breaks and cracks and tectonic fault lines to celebrate your experience rather than make leaded scars from shaming mistakes. Can you call your mistakes OFL? Can you embrace mistakes as your further Opportunities For Learning? I say Don’t waste trouble. Though, Jodorowski amps that up to agency level when his Chariot said, I made a diamond out of my misfortune.
Mystereum Trees with the Family of the Threes for your Triple Birth Card Team

So, 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 establish and/or embrace your established inner light to enhance and align with and in your natural transformation(s) while you stick to the point?
Notice if you begin to feel depletion. If you do, it is often either from mis-spent efforts, slippage, or its time to rest and refuel. Running on fumes will actually expend more energy and tire you out more than running with a full tank.
And maybe think about Mindfulness to help you out. I do not feel that Mindfulness is to empty us out of negative inner influences. More so, that it is for us to face and engage and become besties with our beasties. Danger? Potentially? Though, think about it this way. If they harm me, they harm their home. So, I let their storms rage inside when they present themselves. And, as their storm subsides robustly and empathically witnessed by me in reverence Silence, I ask, “What is your message?” Once a storm has spent itself, it has often shed itself of all the extraneous marble block parts like Michelangelo liberating David. Then, they can integrate, you might feel a cascade of ablution tingles as they nestle back into wherever their trauma was living in your body, though bringing more of You with their power enhancing yours now rather than trauma. Or, they don’t integrate, in which case you let them go as if vanished forever, … or, they sidle up right beside and behind you as another Chthonic Numinosity Light~Shadow Ally. Can;t have too many of those.
Someone asked me this week how long PTSD lasts. A lifetime, was my response. Color that with this, though. It lasts a lifetime… in its influence. Though, after you face it, work with it, with a Professional is good, it can transform and be transformed to release and renew you. So, the PTSD doesn’t really last a lifetime, though it’s ever-evolving influence as you face and engage and use it does.
I’m full-on pleased that my article The Kintsukuroi of Self was published in Issue 35 of The Tarot Association’s Tarosophist International Magazine Equinox Issue. I’m stoked with the honor and the quality of their presentation. Thank you Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin, and Charlotte and the Tarosophy Team! Note that the Tarosophist International Magazine is a members-only magazine with public print to resume soon.
Again, This Week, A Meditative Suggestion in Regards to This Week’s Music Selections
Rather than listen to the words and music as being from one person to another, or the artist to you or to another or out to the world, will you allow the words and music to be yours as if spoken and emanated directly from you and your internal community? As if they are a play about a journey produced by you about you, as you most likely know yourself better than anyone else.
Digital Daggers is one of my new favorite bands along with The Civil Wars. Digital Daggers has a wicked cool way of approaching the Self head on, wonderfully handling psychological and relationship topics with heartfelt grace and a no holds barred intensity.

Serendipity Itinerary Sites
There are excellent new posts this week! Think you’ve seen them before? Me, too. Then, I suggest take 2 sites below that you are familiar with and revisit their current posts.
Where Will Your SI Take You This Week?
cocinaitaly ~ Elganspo, comida italiana. Hungry? Hungry for edible beauty, aesthetic eats? Exquisite is a word. Edibly exquisite is two words. Grab a friend, and go experience this. What will your words be afterwards?
Verdarluz and Jocelyn Mercado ~ Bridging Dimensions Astrotheology Mystery School.Today, we live at the edge of uncertainty. It is at the edge of uncertainty where our most creative inspiration comes alive. ~ Joanna Macy. Personally (me, Jordan), I feel we have always lived at the edge of uncertainty. The world is always about to end in the perpetual present. Though, Verdarluz and Jocelyn Mercado have built a place full of Inner Nature and wonderment and robust experience for action to nourish that birth-n-death perpetual present moment. Check out the soulfully resonant and robust and rockin’ developmental work. Also, here’s a link to Verdarluz CelstiOwl’s Soundcloud music site.
Dr. Jean Raffa ~ Think Psychologically. Live Spiritually. A former television producer and college professor, Dr. Raffa changed directions in midlife to discover and write about her passions. Informed by over 30 years of psychological and spiritual study, her books and teachings guide others to growth and self-empowerment. Red Feather Mind Body Spirit is an imprint of Schiffer Publications who is my publisher. Love the synchronicity that I found her work in the Carl Jung Depth Psychology Reading Group rather than from my publisher. Pretty cool. Great to discover Jean’s work. Also, check out her work at Golden Seeds of Wisdom. I am looking forward to Dr. Raffa’s presentation Sunday, December 6, 2020 at 1:00 pm EST where she will introduce her new book, The Soul’s Twins, which will be published on November 17, 2020. Pre-orders are now being accepted by Amazon.com. You can register for her December 6th presentation here.

Dive in to the over 1,200 videos he has produced for a healthy dose of rockin’ness. Well worth the time spent, like the length of a great movie. I always come away with something new, and also usually a further fleshed out perspective. Also, Skip, along with Coeleen Kiebert and Tim Holmes are running the Pre-Election Collective Unconscious & Participation Mystique Project which I am participating in. Take a look.
Coeleen Kiebert ~ Navigating the Unmanifest. My art is the expression of a mysterious, quiet story that has within it a line of truth deeper than I am able to see any other way. Often, I wonder how others know what’s going on inside of themselves. How do they know what’s really happening? How do they cope with the deeper meanings of life without an art form to guide them? Doing art is the way I search for this inner truth. The images that appear in the clay lead me to an understanding that is beyond that which I can gain from common reflection. It is a communication with myself and the language is my art. (c) Coeleen Kiebert. All rights reserved.
The Alchemist’s Studio ~ Raku, vessels, Alchemy in action. Pottery with heart and soul PLUS some PUNitive humor to boot. Don’t miss the Hens! Another place of great perspective.
Charlescearl’s Weblog ~ Musings on fascinating things. Important and fascinating things well said. Charles not only thinks things through, he lives them through. You can feel it in his writing. Don’t go for the writing. Go for experience you will remember. Indelible is a word, and a good one with Charles’ weblog.

From angelic harpist to romance author, Melissa began writing as a theatre reviewer for local and online media.Her Golden-State-of-the-Art Blog started out as a California arts blog that covered a lot of theatre, but rolls with the punches and has expanded to the vegan lifestyle.
J. Gary Sparks ~ Jungian Analyst. Diplomate, C.G. Jung Institute, Zürich. Through his website he makes resources available for learning and teaching Jungian psychology at all levels. the link is to his wonderful welcome page, and you’ll find his Home Page link at the bottom of the Welcome page.
Martha Ann Kennedy’s Blog ~ I’m A Writer, Yes, I Am! Her recent post Through the Looking Glass from The Global Exclaimer is powerful and full-on apt about this racism disease going around more powerfully in this current time where the Civil War is like the EverReady Bunny just going and going and going — like it seethed under the surface for over a century, the internal war that never ended. 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. All my life, I’ve been a writer. Sometimes, I’m also a painter, but I am always a hiker.
Scott Parker-Anderson ~ Waldina. Waldina was my maternal great-grandmother. Her life story has inspired generations of our family. I write about what inspires me.
Andrea Badgley ~ Butterfly Mind. Creative Nonfiction by Andrea Badgley. Andrea Badgley holds a B.S. in Ecology, but left that field to raise children and write.

We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
Mr. Purrington ~ Carl Jung Depth Psychology. Life, work and legacy of Carl Jung.
Keith’s SecondVoice ~ African Poetry. I found Keith’s work last week. He liked a comment I made on another’s blog, don’t remember which as I clicked right through to his site. Wonderfully powerful, muscular language full of grit and flow and resonance and well-played metaphor that is apt and expressive and clear. Check out Keith’s recent Skyscraper post. It starts with a wicked cool image, and keeps going from there.
Janet Rudolph ~ Feminism and Religion. Thoughtful. Poignant. Meaningful. Janet plays the depths with her tune. Both-And is embraced, and though either/or is not dismissed, it is seemingly most often precluded by her forthright and engaged gesture. Janet posts from a deep well.

And, I’m honored Ian is using my Tarot in the Land of Mystereum deck and 192-page companion book as a creative writing prompter.

I respect when people swim in their own crucible to discern and come to a more resonant relationship with themselves.

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.
