Saving Face

JAN 2025 – DEC 20 Today was just easy.


Like I was in charge.


Even when things went wrong, I didn’t lose the sense of volition—that I had things under control for lack of a better term.


If every 10 Ajpu/Ajaw goes like this, I’m here for it.


I’m not super familiar with what a Void of Course moon feels like, but thanks to Honeycomb’s astro calendar I can now see when all the v/c’s are, and during todays ~hour long v/c I had this moment of going back and forth with indecision over a dumb little thing, which later led to a bit of a faux pas, but actually could have been worse if I had decided the other way.


But in any case it was my decision, and when the faux pas in question happened I quickly restored balance by speaking authoritatively.


This is my understand of what Ajpu/Ajaw is all about. Leadership. And 10 is a balanced, well developed version of that—so I understand I think.


Finally back in capoeira. Felt really good even though a minor shoulder injury is keeping me from doing everything I’d like. But it was really nice to see everyone again and do a little, totally graceless game.


I don’t know why but I’ve gotten a bug up my ass to start learning about fashion and taking the way I dress seriously. Partially a comment from Adam my mentor about looking the part, partially Venus in Pisces with Saturn I’m sure. 


Taking Beauty Seriously.


Just thinking a lot more in general about my public image.


Wanting to show my best face.

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....
