Your August 28th, 2020 SI, and the Moon went Direct in Capricorn yesterday at 1:37p EST
and will journey through the weekend in the Sign of The Crab (Inner Home is accentuated) until Saturday 8/29 at 3:31p EST when it goes Void of Course from Capricorn. The Moon will emerge direct in Aquarius Saturday evening 8/29 at 8:37P EST. Enjoy your Capricorn Weekend Start transitioning to Aquarius! Know that this weekend there will be an is-what-it-is Capricorn gig going on. Be mindful of things that 1st appear harsh, though are really simply truthful and/or new and/or intense and/or simply not diluted. Grounded perspective, especially with intense experiences will be a wonderful ally. I suggest to envision the old Malay Proverb ~ Trees with strong roots laugh at storms. You can always ask the storm its message after it gets tired of its bluster.
Can you roll with that? Can you dial in to dial up and engage without threat or bluster? It feels like this weekend it may be hard to ignore, and there are treasures in this kind of intensity when you are able to navigate with a don’t waste trouble perspective where you continually find workability.
The Capricorn energies present would have it no other way. Resistance certainly isn’t futile, though personally, I’m not going to explore that route. Capricorns often know to shelter when newness is present to protect it from undue influence as newness acclimated. The snake its skin shedded, the snake its skin not missed. Capricorns also Understand the importance to tend to foundations. Let their knowledge clue that into your queue. And, while doing so, turn in to your own perspective and shift it as required to brace against the cornerstones in your life… so as to not waste trouble? No reason to dial into a Leaning Tower of Pisa in your life if not necessary. Hey, how are you holding your chin? As my grandfather used to say, Move it a little if you need a fresh perspective, need to see something another way. I love how simple a technique that literally is. This weekend I sincerely hope I don’t get the Scooby Doo noise as I turn my head in ?????s
Serendipity Itineraries
Serendipity Itineraries is a post series is about sharing my weekly blog field trips, my eExperiences, so that maybe you find some new people who you resonate with, to enjoy and/or follow, and/or simply have a mini-library of places to visit when you feel that cool compulsion to expand your experience.
I notice that on the blogs I resonate with, I often also resonate with who they resonate with. Not always, there’s of course a case by case discernment present. Though, it’s more often than not. Enough to have given form to these weekly Serendipity Itineraries.

This Week
It’s a #4 day today, so here is a 4-themed video:
Mystereum Tarot Moment
Grounding With the Family of the 4’s
2 min 27 sec
There’s a whole world in 2m 27sec. Ad-libbed here in a single take. This is the 1st one I’ve come across where the time doesn’t add up to mimic the number. Very much feels intensely Moira, the internal sense of time, our own rhythm, when it does. Of course she didn’t tell me she was doing that, and I wasn’t given work-to points, and she might not even have done it intentionally. Carrie Paris, my Producer back then, simply played the James Horner Landscape French Horns of the epic landscape of the moment it seems. Visit her beautiful website and experience her great work.
Very internal sense of time. I love that exquisite and simple flourish of a detail. It’s the kind of thing that can go un-noticed… unless it wasn‘t there. I just noticed that several weeks ago when writing down the video length… 9 years later. Did I tell you how observant I was? Shaking head. I’m noticing this now each week as I revisit my Mystereum Tarot Moments videos. It’s a wonderful, weekly exercise in exploring my own Moira, my own sense of time and timing. And, Moira steps past her husband Chronos (Saturn, chronological time) to garden herself deep within us as our natural rhythm. How can you explore and develop your natural rhythm? Like a drum circle can touch the heartbeat of the Soul, Moira may very well BE your sense of touch in the heartbeat of your Soul, and how you touch, your way.
Yes, I have plans to produce videos for the other suits, plus individual number card groupings, the Courts, and of course the Majors.
I figure mentioning that this was ad-lib in one take is not bragging. It’s simply indicative of…
How do YOU roll when it matters?
Writing Prompt Exercise
Look out the window. Go outside and look IN the window… of yourself For 2min 27sec seconds, and record yourself on your phone or a tape recorder, Or Morse Code, however you roll. Ask yourself: What does the inside of my home look like from outside the window? Does my home reflect ME? What do I feel about how my home looks when looking in through the window. Be your own voyeur. Plus, it’ll keep the annoying crazy neighbors away, and attract the cool, crazy ones. Whatcha doing? This is your house ya know? You can use the front door. I can tell you noone’s in there ‘cause you’re out here. And, OH BOY is that potentially intensely mistaken. All your Parts live there, too.
Is the inside of your home, any collections or things or placements you have, a literal roadmap of your inner world? What about the hidden places you can explore. Or, linger and resonate with something. Prepare yourself to write with the notes you take from your 56 seconds. Take a deep breath and… GO! Just record yourself on your phone for 56 seconds, listen to it, and then transcribe it… or delete it. The delete option is the ultimate edit button. 🙂 You may find it just keeps expanding when you start to transcribe it. You are often your best writing prompt.
What’s YOUR short time? What’s YOUR lap time for a single pass? Your call. Will you give it a try? Comment please if your care to share. I hope you’re pleasantly surprised what wonderful gift that 56 seconds of you is to yourself.

I for one am looking forward to see where she takes her adventure.
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.

She may have just started blogging, though she’s no novice Reader.
Bonnie Cehovet ~ Flash Fiction. Author. Tarot. Consummate Reviewer. Want a solid story? Bonnie’ll get your there. Bonnie has a way about only working with things she resonates with. She doesn’t do negative reviews, understands that that is a waste of her blessings and value. I beyond resonate with and respect that. What’s the point of non-things? CHeck out good things here.
Croque-Melpomene ~ Author of Within Paravent Walls. Pentalingual Idealist. Writer of psycho-corporeal Poetry. Creator of Croque-Melpomene & Les Femmes de la Décadence. 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.
Saania2086 ~ Philosophy is all about being curious, asking basic questions. And it can be fun! If P, then Q. If you want good sense, then go here to see what dynamic mind dish is being served up today.
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.
Jane Lurie Photography ~ powerful, evocative freeze-frames of architectural images that are definitely not secretly active. These images live out loud! They are refined. And they are as natural as they are refined, like an exquisitely cut emerald or sapphire or ruby kind of refined. There’s nothing hidden in the rough here. These beauties have some pipes in their visual voice.
Timothy Price ~ Off Center & Not Even. Is variety the spice of life? Go here and see! The photography is magnificent.
Mary K. Greer’s Tarot Blog ~ Tarot helps you meet whatever comes in the best possible way. Mary matters. Professionally. As a person. As an author. Mary matters. Sweet and direct and courageous and inventive and FUN. Oh, she was a wicked cool sense of humor. Many deep wells feed Mary’s work. Warning: Immersion here may lead to ablution.
Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud ~ Beguiling pearls of wit, wisdom, and whimsy-with attitude. I’m not going to add more words to that. If that doesn’t grab you… A Princess is simply a Queen not yet sitting..
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.
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.
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.
Helix and DNA strands anyone? There’s such a wonderful Who let the dogs out? Us, our world and solar system itself in orbit.
& This Week’s SI Music Video steps right up to face it, the music of another, even if effed up, hearing it without being manipulated. Truth, Skylar. Truth. Word.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
