7 year
Today is the last day of my 7 year. Tomorrow is my birthday! Hurrah for me! How has this year been a year of fulfilling the Emperor aspects of my destiny? I played the Emperor in the Oracles of the Living Tarot. But asides from that, I have played out more of the Emperor Reversed, and fought against my destiny more than lived up to it. The Emperor Reversed is the Fool, and I have been a cynical fool at that. Worst of all, I have so seldom spoken my Truth. I have let fear rule my tongue, whispering my Treasons where no one can hear me.
Tomorrow starts my 8 year, and the beginning of a new climacteric [cycle of 7 years]. Uranus is still transiting my natal Uranus, which can manifest as midlife crisis. I have regressed to early college, and been no more successful than the first time around. Not true, not true. I made decent grades in the classes I was able to complete. And I have learned the hard way that I can only manage 2 classes a semester. The energy of a Ram…?
This morning I woke before 7am and remembered what divarabbit said last nite. a) Get back to a daily practice; and b) Come to some kind of accord w/ the Sky Gods. (Ok Vampyre Entities, you are invited to my party, but stay out of this bubble I define as my own.) So I took up my prayer beads, and dedicated myself again to the Spirit of Guidance. What is that line from Rumi, O Pilgrim, having forsaken your vows a 1000 times, return! Return! 'llah has a feminine root, and can be identified w/ my gal Tiamat, whose tears water the valleys. There are ways to get along w/ people you hate, and in the process learn that your hate is tempered w/ respect, and finally familiarity breeds… affection. How many times in my life has someone I had disdained been so constant and oblivious to my coldness, that I learn to see them as a worthwhile person. (answer: at least twice) So Sky Gods, tho in the Final Battle you know w/ whom my allegiances lie, for now we can all just get along. And I will count my beads --- the answer is always the same --- 101 beads in a loop, and prepare myself for the coming World Historical Figure. I have consulted my chart, and it is not me, not me at all. By my calculations, the coming World Historical Figure was born September 10-12, 1966, and will be having their Uranus transit reach a pinnacle in November of 2008. Is this you? I want to read your cards.
In the meantime, my 8 year is about strengthening and growing. And in consonance w/ divarabbits advise about my daily practice, I am off to the gym.
