Damned Neptune!
As you know, Neptune is spending 14 years in my 11th house of society, friendships, common goals, and future visions. Neptune is dreams, Aquarius, the collective, so the entire planet is experiencing this vision quest in relation to group dynamics, whether people see and believe it or not. The cock-eyed delusions of planetary doom are minor. The highly influential mutual reception with Uranus in Pisces is creating irrational thinking, but is also uniting the collective with the universal mind that always exists. I tried to wiggle out of this whole thing, not being a groupie, you know. I keep trying but to no avail. Think I should give up?
In the midst of the discombobulation I mentioned previously, along with some notso minor irritation, I consulted the I Ching last night and drew this hexagram:
Jeeeze. A girl just doesn't stand a chance.

No. 13. T'ung Jen/Fellowship of Men
True fellowship must be based upon a concern that is universal. It is not the private interests of the individual that create lasting fellowship among men, but rather the goals of humanity.Sounds an awful lot like Saturn-Uranus. Anyhoo, speaking of dreams, here's wishing you all a fine weekend under this sedate Capricorn full Moon. Hopefully, a chance to stay out of trouble. Make them listen to your words! And watch out for all those Aquarians pouring the waters of humanity everywhere.
Just as the luminaries in the sky serve for the systematic division and arrangement of time, so human society and all things that really belong together must be organically arranged. Fellowship should not be a mere mingling of individuals -- that would be chaos, not fellowship. If fellowship is to lead to order, there must be organization within diversity.
Jeeeze. A girl just doesn't stand a chance.

By Jose Arguelles:
“The key to remaining in our integrity is for each of us to identify with our own wave-form. This means to accept and love ourselves completely. Because we accept and love ourselves completely, we do not hide or deny our imperfections. Because we do not hide or deny our imperfections, we take complete responsibility for who and how we are. Because we take complete responsibility for who and how we are, we do not give our power away. By not giving our power away, we do not create negative cling static.
Imperfections are like the flaws and inclusions in a crystal. It is those flaws and inclusions that give the crystal its character. If we leave our crystals in the sun, in time, some of those flaws will turn into iridescent colored lights. That’s the way it is when we sit in our wave-forms and love and accept ourselves completely. Our awareness and self-love are like the sun, and the colors are the radiance of insight and memory that come from knowing. loving, and accepting ourselves completely.”
The magic is still there, it is not lost, just being stored. Further down the road it will reveal itself again and it might receive the chance to play. The focus for now is on the power within.
This is sort of it, but not really.
The actual events are an equal and opposite reaction to something previously enacted and it is absolutey correct.
The focus on the power within is not exactly it either. The focus is more on the expression and exchange, and when this occurs, power is shared, with a lot of experimentation to keep it equalized.
The fundamental is not about giving power away. Each has his own. I don't think one really can give or take it from someone else. It might appear that way, but I think not.
And the second major point, because this is a good thing to ponder, is this.
Self love, as all love, is a feeling and it is subject to fluctuation according to mood. The loss of love serves to create the joy of rekindling it. A constant ebb and flow. Losing-finding/gaining.
Extremes in the spectrum are experienced as unhealthy, but there is natural wave in-between which is optimum. Self-liking. Self-disliking. All the same. The point is to let them come and go. Searching for some complete accepting self love will drive one nuts. Ain't gonna happen.
If anything, I think that a self realized person would gladly give power away. It's overrated.
So my answer to the dilemma is this.
Try to have some idea of what you're doing while you're doing it.
