Sag is a double-sign meaning it is represented by two qualities. The Beast & The Divine. As we move into Sag Season into the Full Moon and Eclipse and Neptune going direct, beyond what things you can drop or release… What good things have you done over the past 18-19 years that have been karma-banked inside? How, over the next several weeks, can you begin to own the intensities of their beautiful beast lines and divinely share them in the world to your and the world’s benefit.
Epic spiral of giving and receiving? Yes. Be compassionate and take no shit? Even more so. In a way Sag is like a Justice card in the Tarot mixed with Temperance, The Hanged Man, and Strength. Sure, all the other cards as well as Sag is the last sign of the zodiac. It is inclusive of all the other signs.
As such, this month, especially in the lead-up to the 12/21 Saturn~Jupiter conjunction with Neptune Stationed Direct as of Monday 11/30, how can you use the 3 images below to guide your thinking and feeling to work with your Beast and your Divine together? There are also four Tarot images below that you may want to bring in as well. All the best to the Beast and Divine Of YOU Wholly Yours to express your Being in the world.

Reflections (c) 2005 Jordan Hoggard. I’ll say to integrate those beastly energies into your own brand of the Divine that you infuse and integrate in your actions. Your Divine as the Heart of your actions… the impetus of your actions, too.
I give you a place of your own to clearly float fully supported in your mind activating your crown chakra. Chrysalis, fully afloat in supportive clarity.

When There Is Only Darkness ~ take a look at this to get your bearings… almost regardless. I’m not about empowering people. I am about helping people to navigate to discover their sources of power. Then, they do the empowering. Only you can plug yourself in. There may be a silver platter we all want to be given, but we have to bring the silver spoon and fill the plate. Enjoy choosing what you fill your precious metal plate with.

Broken Bones
I
view
tears as
living, sacred
adornments from within,
a glaze for the cheeks
that
my
emotional
kiln fires into
experiential connections
from inner gold in celebration
that flows up from within to fill
the cracks for renewed wholeness.
Better
for having been broken,
I am continually put back together
without motion-limiting scars.
I am continually put back together
with the golden splendor of connections made.
Healed breaks are sacred adornments.
The broken bone heals stronger.
I heal stronger.
Heal stronger.

A Ship in Harbor Is Safe
A ship in harbor’s safe, but that’s not what ships are for. ~ John A. Shedd
The idea came from a comment a dear friend made this weekend, that this morning sprint-sprouted across my heart as it flowed up and came to mind. Feels more resonant and in alignment with what I do + it feels to speak on its own. Nodding. I like this. I like this a great deal.
I find it helpful to be kind to your Inner Beasties by empathically and fully whole-body listening to them rather than reacting to them. Tarot is a wonderful way to navigate this intense work with a Kevlar Umbrella.
It’s Sagittarius Season, So…
Sag is a double-sign. The Beast And The Divine. How can you embrace both your Inner Beasties and Inner Divinity?

I Cut
I cut the cord from my Moon conjunct Ascendant (ASC) in 12th House Capricorn to turn and drift and dive and sail my Moon as Hermit of Self to light the way into the depthful 12th House Abyss of the unconscious to celestial-groove surf further within, farther than I have before. In embrace of the not-knowing, I float, levitate rather than uproot… forward in prescient remembrance.
I find it helpful to be kind to your Inner Beasties by empathically and fully whole-body listening to them rather than reacting to them.
They are counterparts and potential allies once heard, and as listened to.
They can naturally integrate as their storms subside. How do they transform to become inner interaction rather than storms, where you can then ask them, “What is your message?”
When they convey it, you will often feel a cascade of ablution tingles in a part of or even throughout you whole body as they dissolve back into their proper, bodily home… to dose you with more of yourself.
I find Inner Beasties to be our Chirons, our Inner Wounded Healers each with their own message from trauma or lineage inheritances, who literally show us the way to healing by their very way of being in our inner world.
Daily, I become Besties with my Beasties. I feel they enliven the power of health in min and body and heart. Mindbodybeautiful I call us all together. Without darkness there can be no light. Without light there can be no darkness. Without both… there is no Self. Jung expressed this in Aion as a primary over-riding rule. If ever C.G. Jung had in what I consider his most insubstantial work that throughly expressed his ALL that there can not be any thing with its other, its sacred Other… it is in Aion. That said. Insubstantial you all but scream? Yes. He goes through 2k-year iterations of saying the same thing from a different context. Nothing. Exists. Without its other! And, that said, I hope you didn’t lean too far as a jester dancing on the edge of the abyss. Aion was the 1st book I ever read that resonated YES, THIS IS SOMEONE I GET ALONG WITH IN MY SANDBOX. It was so immediately natural to my mode of being, my way. It took zero convincing, dialed into the deep knowings I already had, and kaBOOM concussion blasted a wonderful BOOM of expansion and densification at one and the same time. It was 1991. It was just after University commencement. Graduation not being a completion, but a commencement. And. I commenced. I move to commence my move into my own life from then on.
How Can You?
How can you not be bullied anymore by your inner civil wars and conflicts? How can you become besties with a beastie. It’s the season of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the sign that includes all the signs, is both beast and person in the make or female centaur, half horse and half man/woman or your special pace in between. Sagittarius. Both Beast and Divine at the same time.
Is there a Beastie you can face and rather than be afraid, simply listen to it. Remember, if they hurt you, they hurt their home… You. Not in their best interest. Are you able to stand calmly and face one and ONLY listen like a tree with strong roots smiles in a storm? Some storms rage on for a long time. Some are short bursts of energy. What is part of your dream that’s giving you trouble? Can you face within and call and ask which one would like to come out of the darkness and storm in to be heard? Enjoy the magic of more you if you do.
When there is only darkness,
close your two eyes to open the 3rd,

When there is only darkness,
is it because
You are in fact enacting the light?

Even the Big Things
Are little things to the Universe

We all have the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine coupled AS our Place of Creation. As a male, I Have a Man-Womb pomegranate-pregnant with ideas, often 10 months on, 10 months off, that oscillates between intense expansion and productivity of moving into wide open, urban, court spaces like Piazza San Marco and then rest and and relieve with the scale-relief of the tight city streets to bompidy bomp to amble my way across the bouncy-bounce bompidy bomp cobblestones in continuance of my continual, life-giving exploration.
What’s Your Place With,
and How Are You Able to Enact,
the Healer of the Wounded Divine Feminine?
I gather the Wounded Divine Feminine may in fact be
the potentially enacted partner of Chiron’s Wounded Divine Masculine.
What can you do?
What can you enact?
So, that as we each enact in the whole,
we enact
to connect together
the life force...
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone. ~ Pablo Picasso

This Moving and Visual and Whole Self-Experiential Story We Call Life
Shadow Mastery As Continual Mode of Being in Life (c) 2020 Jordan Hoggard
“Reflections” (c) 2009 Jordan Hoggard
This moving visual story in a video expresses to me the wounded Divine Feminine in all of us that I feel we will need to move forward as we enact and enliven into health a world community full of people strong enough and Self-aware enough from each doing and sharing their own sacred work… strong enough to be comfortably gentle in the focused power of patience as we each whole-mind body beautiful-being Self listen to others in Empathic Silence. Video: “The Frayed Angels”
May the feeling and experience within the vessel of this post enrich your day in ways only you can for yourself, together. Thank you for your time, and thank you for visiting my blog. I am grateful that I missed it and now see there are over 300 people here, and in March there were 125. Thank you for the Presence As Architecture of You. From my Place of Creation, my Man-Womb as I call it, may your creativity enliven and enrich your world so that you can more fully enrich the world for all of us together.

Where does the Architecture live when the budget only allows a simple wall feature and Entry floor gesture with a new floor finish to accomplish the task of remodeling? I say, Don’t Waste Trouble, and your low budget doesn’t mean we’ll do a small thing. We’ll take care of a small thing. Your Entry. Put your money where the mouth of your store. Get your clients in on the right step in their 1st step into the store. Literally, step them in on the right foot. Does it have to look like a small thing? I’d say it better not, otherwise I didn’t do my job.
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.
