Time Travel, Other Galaxies, and Inner Dimensions
You can go away if you want to
You are completely free
You can stay right where you are
Or you can come with me Far out to another world
Away from here
Another galaxy
Another time, another year.
These are two stanzas from I song I sang for my sister last week. I started crying and I tried to figure out why. It's a haunting beautiful song, and it has a particular power for me. The music before had a rhythm and when I started this one, I stopped the rhythm and everything stood still. So I concluded that the stopping of forward motion brought the feelings to the surface. A moment when longings can find a space to emerge. When the fun and frivolity halt for a brief interlude. And the question of togetherness and aloneness come into play as we seek our fortunes and the objects of our desires.
Last night I had a dream, and in it I was singing this song to my brother-in-law. He loved it without reservations. Exceptional enthusiasm from a usually contained person. I then went on to my funky tunes with the customary pleasure. This is a dream I will not forget. I have a lot of Neptune and Uranus in my character, and as anyone can tell, I long for a dream world of exquisite beauty. My life is about bringing fantasy into reality. A neccessity. Sometimes I despair at the distance, but other times, I can almost touch it. The clocks changed early to Daylight Savings Time this year, not surprising with time being altered in the Saturn/Neptune opposition. Maybe there is some connection to the original War Time. The North Node in Pisces, ruler of the realm of dreams, is now meeting Uranus, midway in the transit. All of this leads me to the view that the collective is getting a glimpse into alternative dimensions. A strange standstill has occurred, with no news, and nothing to talk about in the usual way. WWIII has been put on hold again, and confusion about direction is dominant. Neptune's job is to fracture linear time, blind us temporarily, and lead us to new pathways. The North Node working with the Saturn/Neptune opposition is teaching us to find perceptions in synchronization with our spiritual longings. This is a pivotal week, as the nodes and Uranus cross paths. At the same time, Pluto is stationing and will turn retrograde shortly to pass once more through the Galactic core of our galaxy. This is an opening into new dimensions, both personally and collectively. Soon we will be in Aries going enthusiastically into the future, but for the moment, time is suspended, and space opens up, as we learn about the universe, ideals, visions, and freedom. For the moment, they are real.

I love it when souls are there. I mean here.
Not to forget that New Moon in Pisces just ahead exactly square the stationing Pluto.
A lot going on.
And you might want to put this in your pipe, re the New Moon at 28 pisces.
JM: Uranus 28 Gemini
Tseka: Sun 28 Sagittarius
Acousticgod: Moon 29 Virgo
Chrispito: Asc 26 Sagittarius.
The Full Moon will be in Libra 12, on my Neptune, tseka's Mars/Saturn, and chrispito's Pluto square her Cap Moon and Aries Venus.
Pisces/Libra. Relationships... dreams, ideals, deceptions, shared artistic visions, love, etc.
If you know any Venus in Pisces souls, you know what I mean.

Swimming in (such a relationship), as we speak. Totally. Big time.
Exacerbated by the Saturn-Neptune opposition... and a whole bunch of other factors in her chart and mine...
My best friend for 20 years had a Venus in Pisces. One of the adoring kind. He loved all his friends except occasionally, when things went wrong. Then they really went haywire.
Pisces is worship, but it can be the opposite. The pedestal or the sewer. Take your pick. Elevation or degradation. The two fishes. Spiritual duality.
I also had a long one with a Venus in the 12th. This one swung both ways. The Sun and Pluto were there too, so the depths and heights were plumbed.
I have a positive visceral reaction to Pisces, however. I love Neptune no matter what he does.
I always look forward to Aries, but the pressure in the head comes with it, and I find myself a little wistful thinking of the dissolution of Neptune.
A Mars/Neptune conjunction explains that though.
Mine is not a Venus in Pisces but a Venus in 12H, to be specific.
Sometimes manic depressive swings are associated with these types, and the relationships around them. You gotta swing with it, or get out of the area.
I know that one. You can end up sharing things you never anticipated, closeted in there with them.
This is what's interesting about Venus in the 12th.
They create fantasies around you which you might or might not like. It's a chance to fulfill artistic vision, but it can get tricky fitting into the fantasies.
They also have a tendency to mythologize, making the partner larger than life, maybe associated with vast 12th house memories.
Other times they make you feel like you are in an alternate dimension, just the two of you, privy to some arcane wisdom.

No kidding. I've been 'places' this past year... well, you've been there, so ~you~ know...
She has...
* Mercury/Venus conj in 12H
* Jupiter/Chiron straddling the MC in Pisces
* Neptune in Scorpio in 5H
However, I *needed* to go to/through those 'places'... so... rough and acutely painful as it has been, it has also been exquisitely and powerfully healing, beneficial and beautiful.
They create fantasies around you
I must confess to being as or more guilty...
I have Neptune (in Scorp/9H) sextile my Venus/Pluto so I am very aware of my own 'fantasizing'...
This pot cannot call the kettle black.
This is interesting. Similar to mine with Pluto in the 12th too. I know exactly what you mean. I'll be back in a bit on this, if you want to explore, since the places are in us too. They guide us.
I was more afraid to go there, but with this help, I discovered creative power.
The 12th has everything, and the people who live there are unafraid in certain ways. Guilt, punishment, and redemption hang out there...:-)
These are some of the issues the collective is facing with these transits. Who's guilty of what?
I've always had trouble with the finger of blame, knowing it's 360 degrees.
So..... my big thing.
This Iraq, Pluto in Sagittarius combo has always been about collective responsibility. The cradle to the grave. And back again.
How we get to our deaths is certainly a big part of life. But how can we know if another's death is wrong, if it is? Who's the judge?
jm, if i send you her birth data, do you have time to have a quick look at the synastry of her and me?
just a quick look-see if anything specific catches your eye?
Who really done it??????
But how can we know if another's death is wrong, if it is? Who's the judge?
Good questions.
Who really done it??????
ANOTHER good question!!! :-D
Nope on the chart. I don't read for people, privately.
Perfectly alright.
Jane, I am so involved in this question of responsibility. I get perturbed with the blame, the accusers thinking they are so much better. I haven't noticed that to be so. I see them doing things to others that horrify me, but go unnoticed while the rigid finger is pointing away.
We're all in this together, and the way to neutralize crime is by good action.
This is good.
Saturn is guilt and responsibility on a mundane level, and Neptune is ancient, present, and future guilt.
This is a good time to ascertain where we all stand. I'm exhausted from the people blaming a certain handful of other people, hoping their celebrities will redeem them or provide escape.
It ain't working.
I used to be where you are.
I am now in a different place.
Over the past year especially (but it had been building up), I have been focusing strongly and diligently (and pretty much exclusively) on (my own) self-responsibility and ~my~ responsibility to others.
It leaves me little time to worry about what other people are doing or not doing... should be, could be, might be, etc. ...other than as a mirror back to me, and an opportunity for me to see what might need correcting in ~me~.
I'm exhausted from the people blaming a certain handful of other people
I don't mean to sound or be harsh, but can I gently suggest... that (you) blaming the people who are blaming the other people... is still blaming?
Forget all them.
Get doing what your time has come to do:
Perform your music.
There lies ~your~ responsibility.
Yes?
"He loved it without reservations. Exceptional enthusiasm from a usually contained person."
So, since the figures in dreams can be viewed as representing aspects of the dreamer's psyche, the part of you that is very "contained" is telling you that it is pleased with release, and with the music that you are making.
You are communicating your feelings to this part of you, and perhaps exploring a new kind of relationship with it.
It sounds like a encouraging sign. :-)
"But how can we know if another's death is wrong, if it is? Who's the judge?
"Who really done it??????"
Philosphers explore competing systems of ethics. I think that the creator of her own experiences ultimately judges for herself whether her work pleases her.
At some point we come to acceptance. Then, it may not matter who or why. Trying to make sense of everything tends to block awareness of our inner presence, keeps us timebound. Life is felt; it is valid regardless of what we think about it.
The question that matters more is the kind that asks, "What happens now?" And that question seems to be symbolized by the opposition.
A deeper statement that emerges is that we don't have to explain, justify, or conceptually understand to feel the validity of our existence and of our innermost feelings.
Frameworks, structure, security -- or whatever we call these things -- support our growth, but we don't have to cling to any particular one beyond its usefulness.
"This is an opening into new dimensions, both personally and collectively. Soon we will be in Aries going enthusiastically into the future, but for the moment, time is suspended, and space opens up, as we learn about the universe, ideals, visions, and freedom. For the moment, they are real."
"...This is a good time to ascertain where we all stand."
A Saturn-Neptune opposition sounds like a good time for that. :-)
Polticians can spin words, but the assessment of the intuitive feeling side of our natures tells us how far we've drifted from our hopes and dreams.
Past experiences inform new experience, selectively. The artist/dreamer makes the (re-)interpretation, and reality renews itself, new cycles emerge from the old. We can each hope that we are getting something real out of things that happened. And, if we felt we lost something of value along the way, maybe we'll still get something back of ourselves in another way.
I read this in the new book: "Right now, as we move through our emotional body, experiencing a sense of mental confusion is beneficial. It is a sign of progress." Could fit the Saturn-Neptune theme. Acceptance of what we can call Neptune's necessity unburdens the ego of a responsibility that does not belong to it, frees us of many frustrations, attendant compulsions and drama, and frees up energy for conscious creative expression.
The intent seems important to me.
I'm reading that intellectual understanding follows and emerges from the feeling nature, and we don't have to understand to know.
that (you) blaming the people who are blaming the other people... is still blaming?
Of course.
OMG. My favorite dream analyst has materialized.
It was a breakthrough dream in terms of my self acceptance. Very different from previous ones, when I was watching someone else perform their songs, or my keyboards were wobbling all over the place. The wobbling one was the most repeated. Lack of self control.
The dream woke me up with a start, and I knew it would stay in my conscious mind.
the part of you that is very "contained" is telling you that it is pleased with release
Very important moment. I've been singing all the time on and off lately. Spontaneously. The one for the last few days has been an old standard: Nevertheless
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong
nevertheless, I'm in love with you.
Not too complex...:-)

Well put.

It does.
we don't have to understand to know.
Interesting. Sagittarius is, "I understand". The beginnings of spiritual awakening. Then when we evolve to Aquarius, we get to, "I know".
Perform your music.
There lies ~your~ responsibility.
My responsibility is more fundamental than even this. I dropped the trappings of my music temporarily to go deeper within and find the kernel of my ego, without any performance to validate it's existence and strength. The wall is coming down now, and the music can emerge from the new place. But my responsibility is not really performing, it's embracing my self significance and allowing the music out of it's own accord. No force.A natural release.
Yes, the time has come. But in the big picture, it makes no difference what I express. I can draw a tulip, sing a blues song with all sorts of keyboard tricks, or do nothing, as long as I know my own truth.
This is the real lesson of Saturn in Leo. Then the performance becomes delectable.

Abolutely.
This is the crux, jane, with Saturn. It takes a long time to work with it, but the mastery is within after external failures. It's a combination of developing skills along with self satisfaction, but it's difficult for everyone where Saturn is positioned.
You have this coming up with the Pluto. It's already happening. Getting serious and focused. Learning how to help the group progress under your guidance. That's why the personal should be worked out so you can go on to this collective destiny.
In my case, I have Pluto on my Mars which will release my aggression and energy to self direct toward my goals. It's a steady slow progression. Capricorn. So there's no rush, nor is there any reason to procrastinate. What I'm doing now is actually part of the path.
It's a good idea when these big times come up to get things in order in other areas so they won't be a distraction later on.
I'm now concerned with the collective because I'm going to be involved more actively. Pluto is opposite my Uranus at the moment, ruler of my 11th. So I'm stuck. Society's concerns are part of mine from now on. I can't back out. And as usual, I feel like the proverbial square peg. Can't tell what shape the hole is..:-)
As a whole, we are feeling the entrance of Pluto into Capricorn. Things are going to take a serious turn for everyone. I want this, myself. I have to pay attention to some social trends, and ignore others. It's a learning process, as my privacy leaves me to some extent, probably forever.
Pluto in Capricorn will affect all of us in a sort of rebirth concerning he Saturns we have personally. When Saturn has done it's job, the external protection can come down as the protection has been internalized. Saturn is the boundary we need to maintain integrity, as in wholeness.
"It was a breakthrough dream in terms of my self acceptance. Very different from previous ones, when I was watching someone else perform their songs, or my keyboards were wobbling all over the place. The wobbling one was the most repeated. Lack of self control."
That does suggest a progression to embodiment and to getting comfortable.
"The dream woke me up with a start, and I knew it would stay in my conscious mind."
A dream of power for you. I'm curious on a minor item: Did you happen to note the time when you woke, or cast a chart of the transits for then? I sometimes find that strong messages emerge in sync with a precise transit.
"Neptune's job is to fracture linear time"
What about those of us who have lost our sense of linear time? LOL! With Saturn opposed Neptune I'me even more out there than ever. Neptune, I salute you to a job well done!
Kad, what a wonderful thought. I think it was about 1:30, now that you mention it. What an interesting idea. Either that or sometime close to 11. I could look at both charts as an experiment.
It was an awakening, that's for certain. A lifetime of work culminated. Never had a dream like this before. So I will use it to go forward.
That does suggest a progression to embodiment
Heavens, or "goodness", as you would say. Solar plexus and all. A little heart thrown in.
Maybe the Saturn/Neptune. It's right on my natal Saturn after all.
It's mostly the Saturn return which is ending with a Neptune bang. Suddenly I've been bombarded with insight into what this ego performance thing is all about. I attribute a lot of this to our talks here. The awareness is experiential, which is the best part. I see clearly what needs to be done in simple terms.
Going to double check today's transits right now!
Chrispito! You fractured traveler of the Many Dimensions!
LOL!
Neptune, I salute you to a job well done!
You are so funny. A sprite.
And Holy Moley!
Another thing is Jupiter and Saturn crossing paths right now. Jupiter is going retro at 19 Sag (1 deg away from my Jupiter, and Saturn is about to go direct at 18 Leo, headed for my 22 Saturn.
This is a big part of it, activating my natal Jup/Sat trine.
People with planets at these points are in for a ride.
Thanks for the heads up on Pluto going retrograde. I just realized yesterday that we were in a Saturn retrograde.
Pay attention acousticgod!!!!!!
You're an astrology student!!
Unnnnnnnhhhhh............
Remember Mercury/Uranus? Skipping about and ahead?
