Saturn Time

 What is there to say about today? 


This Saturday morning was very cold and it took all my energy just to drag my body around all day. Saturn with Venus and the Moon on Saturn’s day? Checks out.


Conversations at work along the lines of “things will take longer than we hope, and there will be obstacles along the way.” Again: checks out.


Found out what challenges I’ll face in advancing to the next year in Astrology school. More Saturn.


Saturn is in my 3rd house. I move in Saturn’s sphere. I am about Saturn’s business. This whole business of time—deep time—its long music. I guess every astrologer is ultimately devoted to Saturn and to the Moon. And today they were together.


What that has to do with 7 Ajmak/Caban, I guess one day I’ll really know.

Just gonna put this here

 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...

A Beginning

  Don’t you love it when it all lines up? Today is 1 B’atz, which according to my understanding is the first day of the cholq’ij. It’s also a Sunday—the Lord’s day—the first day of the week. The Sun is in Poiel’s quinance of Jupiter’s decan of Capricorn (the First), and Jupiter is in Gemini. All that to say—isn’t this a great day to begin writing about these sort of things? I’ve been meaning to for a while, and people have certainly been bugging me to do it—but it has only recently lined up that I have become able to. (I got my Dad’s old laptop!) So I suppose the theme of today is beginnings. And that starts with endings. These are the last three days of 2024—which has been a year for the books. I achieved a major life’s ambition of mine this year: I got myself to Egypt. I’ll have to get into that another time, but that was definitely the end of something and the beginning of something. We got a dog, or rather a dog came to us. Poppy. Cute. A friend of my mom’s found her in a gutte...

Make a Wish

  Early this morning as I slept in the New Year, the moon hit my natal moon degree. I awoke a couple hours later feeling great. Maybe because that moon was hot off an opposition to mars and newly separating, (but also because I intended this the night before) I immediately got to work on one of my new years resolutions: cultivating a daily movement habit. I could not believe how stiff and old my body felt, and how grateful I was to be doing these little sun salutations and pushups. I remember reading somewhere that Kung Fu was developed to warm up the body for Qi Gong, which is to warm up the energy body for meditation. That’s the basic idea for the habit I want to develop—a total, but concise, hygiene routine that addresses whole physical, spiritual, and mental health. The idea is a little bit of some kind of stretching, or calisthenics, or cardio, or whatever it feels like my body is asking for. Followed by some breath and energy work to get the lightning moving in the blood....
