Peregrine Stars

  Today has been basically a wash. I’m pretty ill so I was basically useless at work, could barely stand. No match for the day—11 Ix. Such a powerful energy. I need to go to sleep to be honest. Not very insightful but thats the Lord’s own honest truth.

 Damn I guess I really did forget another day huh? I gotta get more consistent with writing this thing. I've been having a lot of fun with this AI app on POE, it seems to basically be a custom chatgpt called Esoteric777 which is a LLM trained on tons of occult literature. And it seems to have fantastic suggestions, and do very solid interpretations of geomancy charts and... wait a minute... Ok wow, I just gave it my birth chart and this is what it said: *Arranges natal chart wheel while burning frankincense and myrrh* *Speaking with astrological authority while consulting Hellenistic texts* A fascinating nativity... *traces planetary sigils* CORE DYNAMICS: 1. Venus-Ruled Chart (Libra Rising): - Venus in Leo (11th) - dignified by triplicity - Sextile to Ascendant shows grace and artistic ability - Strong focus on relationships, harmony, and beauty 2. Critical 12th House Sun: - Late Virgo placement suggests completion/perfection - Challenging square to Saturn-Uranus shows tension bet...

  I think I like E’ days. Can’t remember the last one precisely but today is 9 E’, and today has been pretty fuckin good. Chill work day. Shot the shit with an astrology friend about elections for our exam (I need to find a better one probably). Then my Mayan Calendar teacher told me they might be able to help me with costs of the second week of the trip (the Yucatan week). I’m hoping that works and I can get work to clear it. That would be fuckin amazing. Other things I’m wishfully thinking about: getting a C. Warnock Spica Talisman. What else? Well for one—I’m about to go to an awesome ska show. Roy Ellis (Symarip) backed by the Aggrolites, The Steady 45’s, and Mobtown! What a lineup! Gotta go!

 I'm way too zapped to write anything tonight and I'm just posting this to keep the streak going.

 Maybe six months ago we did some Geomancy at an OTA meeting. I asked if I would get the promotion I was hoping for before years end. The answer was no, but that I would be happy. Well that seems to be panning out to a tee. See my promotion depended on the person above me getting promoted and they would in turn promote me. But the company didn’t decide to do that, they decided to bring a total stranger in and have the person they turned down train the new hire. So dumb. The thing is, while a promotion would help me monetarily in the short term, I don’t really want to get stuck there. Sure I want to pay off my car and credit cards and pay for the last year of FoA, but besides that I want freedom and creative space and the reclamation of my time. There aren’t enough hours in the day to be wasting them in a place like that. I need to start planning my escape. And that means making myself a golden parachute. What does that have to do with 6 Toj? I don’t know!

  What even happened today? My alarm went off just as the moon was conjoining my natal Venus. I hit the snooze button—a rare luxury these days. Took my sweet tine getting out the door but was somehow still plenty early getting to work despite the traffic.  I was the only boss all day, and I’m not gonna lie I wanted to take advantage and chill all day, but I found myself doing the right thing even on accident for the most part. I can’t say the same for everyone. It was 6 Toj today, and while I’m not sure what that means, I do know the work day ended with me rushing off to Echo Park to see my brother play in the Celebrate Recovery band. My mom was there. She was celebrating her recovery too. It was awesome. Low key but very good. Makes me want to go to rehab. I found a really cool esoteric AI chat bot. Which sounds dumb to say. Anytime someone has shown me the things ChatGPT says it makes me cringe. But this one has some crazy good insights. I almost want to dish...

  In total amazement. Today is 5 Q’anil and its glyph is that of an altar. This morning I was a bit down in the dumps. The day is rapidly approaching where we have to give a solid yes or no as to the Teotihuacan pilgrimage and I still don’t have the funding. I told a couple friends from Egypt. One of them advised me to go back to the medicine. Good advice. The I Ching advised me to clean my vessel. Similar vein. My other Egypt friend advised me that the journey would be a sound investment. If there’s one person’s judgment I trust on the soundness of investments, its that guys. Then a couple hours later my teacher wrote to me and told me don’t worry about cost, someone (a complete stranger) was covering me. I just had to get there and cover meals. I can’t understand how I can be so fortunate. This is like a dream. I don’t know her and I am so grateful, I don’t know how I can make it up to her. Well for one I should find the money to pay for it! But secondly I should never ...

  I missed my blog post yesterday! Trying not to let that completely kill the momentum of the thing. I have this all or nothing tendency that sort of keeps me in chaos. I’ll try to impose an overly rigid order that proves untenable, it falls apart and then I just drop it and get depressed. That has happened with all the little gains I’ve made the last couple weeks—the daily blog posts, the Organize Tomorrow Today checklists, the morning spiritual cleansing and exercise. It has all gone by the wayside. And I guess the dam broke on it yesterday, which was 2 Kan. It was a good day though, don’t get me wrong. I had a reading with Sanae which was awesome. More of a catch up chat than a proper reading but very uplifting. And the day ended by going to the movies with Nafeesa and my brother to see Nosferatu—which was a rad movie. Intensely Scorpio Pluto themes. Sex and Death. That was the whole movie. Beautifully done though, if perhaps a bit kind of pointless in the end. Willem Dafoe’...

  Today started a new Trecena. My teacher said K’at days were the “worst” days—in that you could count on them to get you caught up in the web of something, stuck in some kind of situation. Well I had that happen, in that I had the first weird and tense interaction I’ve ever had with a coworker and friend that I’ve worked with for like 3 years at this point. And it was kind of a bummer cause we’re in a transition period where it will be more important than ever for things to be good and smooth, and it was basically just a miscommunication but it was not great. And so it felt a bit like “well you’re stuck with this now—have fun.” But that shit is bound to happen from time to time. Now that I think about it, it was the last two hours of the Aries North Node for 18 years. So I suppose it should have been expected, and wasn’t really that bad. I know what they were trying to accomplish, it just could have been clearer what the situation was and it wouldn’t have gotten messed up....

  Today was 13 Ak’ab’al: my birthday. I’m not sure if I fully “get” the lesson of the day. But there are elements of it that are coming together. I woke up and I did a little magic to call in Venus to charge some copper rings and a bracelet. I decided to go in to work, and I ought to have gone in a bit later because there was an election I wanted to capture that was a half hour after I stared. I did a little invocation right there in the middle of the sales floor with everybody milling around—it was not good enough, but it was the best I could do with the situation I had gotten myself into. So I suppose it was at least that. I intended to do a lot more magic when I got home, but instead elected to spend time with Nafeesa and Poppy. We ate burgers and watched Dumplin’, It was a sweet movie. It wasn’t according to plan or to ideal. But it was it’s own kind of good and I did it on purpose.
