Now that Cycle 1 is complete—collecting data, daily experiences, and creating templates—the analysis phase of Cycle 2 can begin.

How it Works

I hope you have enjoyed my first introductory video. There will be more in the future!

The culminating phase will be a DIY Workbook with access to a calendar library of all symbols and prefilled templates, additional resources and live Zoom Q&A sessions. Expected date is early 2024.

If you would like to support me in my work with a contribution, you can do so by clicking this link: https://buy.stripe.com/9AQdRS1CHclG1c4fZ0

My desire is to digitalize the program over the next five years. Your contributions will help me to accomplish this! Thank you!

You are a jigsaw puzzle. Begin by finding your corners. Now find the straight edges. Sort those. Make the frame. Now sort by hue and composition. Work out the male/female connections on the inside. Arrange groupings near like-composed edges. Experiment until everything fits in just right.

Turn to the Right! No! Your Other Right!

Got it together now? Whaddya think? Like what you see? My God! Who is that staring back? Grab your paintbrush! Apply another layer of oils. Let it dry. Break into pieces, Humpty Dumpty, and put yourself together again. Many of the masters had hidden paintings beneath… Just be aware of what you are covering up and why. Why you don’t ever want to look back and see that again. Good! Now, proceed forward.

Who? You Talkin’ to Me?

And now your reflection is talking to you. Good! We’re making progress! You’ve got until the stroke of midnight to respond. Lead, follow or get out of soul’s way. Change is upon you whether that will happen willingly and with cooperation or without and with resistance. You can kick and scream the whole way, if that’s what you choose to do with your time and space. Your life. Your choice. But, regardless, change is here!

Fine! Alright then! I hereby resolve to ….

Capricorn 10° “All of my needs are supplied.”

Capricorn 10

The Span of Illusiveness – The 1st Hemisphere of Capricorn

Phase 280

Earth Element – Cardinal

The formula is: sustaining-critical-efficient-specializing-social-inspired.

Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:

Capricorn 10° An albatross feeding from the hand

This is a symbol of man’s basic self-justification on the practical or commonplace side, and of his complete dependence on the co-operation of the world at large for any actuality of personal experience. He must ever take the initiative in meeting the needs of others if he is to expect them to stir appreciably and similarly in his own behalf. If he reaps in life he must sow abundantly, and he establishes himself as he expends himself and thereby encourages his fellows to do the same.

The keyword is NURTURE.

When positive, the degree is unusual success in dramatizing the potentialities of human nature and its ramifying achievements, and when negative, overconcern with side issues.

Vanessa’s Song ~ The Little Mermaid

“Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles.” Thomas Browne

What’s the Scuttlebutt?

Did any of you get coal in your stockings for Christmas? I’m asking seriously. No? Hmmm…. Did you deserve to get coal? Um, I see. Brings this scripture to mind:

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

So then, what’s all the scuttlebutt about?

Scuttlebutt, the Water Cooler Talk of 19th Century Seafarers (Merriam-Webster def.)

When office workers catch up on the latest scuttlebutt around the water cooler, they are continuing a long-standing tradition that probably also occurred on the sailing ships of yore. .. In time, the term for the water source was also applied to the gossip and rumors generated around it, and the latest chatter has been called “scuttlebutt” ever since.

Then, just watch what happens next! Rumors are like that–everyone rushing in at once to add in or take away their two cents’ worth. My, we are all such a motley crew! But in the heart of hearts, what’s not to love! We are all so very human. In our hearts we all cherish those we’ve been given to love in this life–beyond any imperfections displayed at times. We are endowed with the gift of the Divine to see beneath the rough to the diamond. Flaws and all, we bring miracles to life because, at the end of all the fuss and feathers, we have the sense to follow our hearts. 

So, let’s take a peek at what’s really shining through today on NURTURE:

Visualize: MANDATE – A man shouting from the rooftops! (What would he be shouting?)

Objectify: RITUALIZATION – A kiss beneath the mistletoe! (Oh my! With whom, might I ask!)

Synchronize: RECOVERY – Radiant sunbeams break through a dark, cloudy sky! (Silver linings?!)

Actualize: RESPONSIVENESS – Look into the face of innocence. (Quick! Find a mirror!)

Some of the motley crew are about to witness first-hand just how quickly destiny can change when the heart is beating true. It just wouldn’t be right to tell their story’s ending, but here’s a hint: You do believe in magic, don’t you?

My grandson asked his mom, “Mom, is this magic?” His mom answered, “Everything is magic. You’re going to have to be more specific.”

So, you see this story is far from ending. In fact, it’s just about to start all over again. T-1 and Counting to the New Year!

Capricorn 9° “I’ll tune it myself, thank you.”

The Span of Illusiveness – The 1st Hemisphere of Capricorn

Phase 279

Earth Element – Cardinal

The formula is: sustaining-critical-efficient-specializing-social-responsible.

Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:

Capricorn 9° An angel carrying a harp

This is a symbol of the eternal and unabated interest of the human spirit in the simple potentialities of experience, and of the unconditioned enthusiasm of all human motives in their original inception. Here is a continuing sense of spiritual source as it pervades man’s consciousness, enabling him to avoid the limitations in any given situation and so to drive ahead to a point of self-fulfillment. There is an over-all harmony of which each individual remains essentially a part.

The keyword is ATTUNEMENT.

When positive, the degree is a special gift for inspiring others to accomplishment and for realizing the ultimate dreams of self as a consequence, and when negative, simple fantasy and uncritical self-superiority.

Helsinki , Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah 

“There is no lasting hope in violence, only temporary relief from hopelessness.” Kingman Brewster, Jr.

Suicide by Cop

Things that provoke to anger so much so that we are willing to die to get even. We all have our triggers. There are times we all want to heap hot coals on some unjust situation. Sometimes on a person. CHILL OUT!

Don’t Shoot the Messenger!

Just walk away… It takes someone pretty damned special to be able to just walk away from a situation that has triggered him or her. Counting to ten, they say, will allow for the gap—the space—for rationality to have sway.

Eye for an Eye?

Tooth for a tooth? Is that what we’ve learned? We will be tested. We must be. We need to see what we’ve learned, what’s really sunk in, what’s taken hold at the deepest levels. We have the Goddess-given right to know where we stand with ourselves!

First Blood

Do the fires of hell still burn deep within? Or is there a faint but distinctly different sound attempting to come through? Life is difficult. Life is suffering. Speak to me! Life is also beautiful! Life is also wonderful! Who or what or which is playing on your harp? Devil went down to Georgia, perhaps? Still tangoing with your shadow self? Battles still raging? Still dancing on those hot coals, walking through fire, being stung by fiery serpents?

Sacrifice

My own definition of sacrifice is to give up something “good” for something “better”. That always requires walking away from the old thing causing reality to now be composed of only the new. What you focus on you keep alive. There must be a turning from one to the other. Not easy. Sacrifice never has been. It’s just an opportunity to change–your tune—tuning up, not down.

Hallelujah!

Today’s septenary speaks to “Attunement.” To what are we fine-tuning ourselves? To challenge? To revenge? Or to healing? Which way to tune–up or down. Haven’t you held onto those hot coals of hell fire long enough? Time to pick up your weapon of choice, choose your music, play your tune! The New Year is upon us!

“These violent delights have violent ends.” William Shakespeare

“I’ll tune it myself, thank you.” Saijin

Capricorn 8° “The comings and the goings.”

The Span of Illusiveness – The 1st Hemisphere of Capricorn

Phase 278

Earth Element – Cardinal

The formula is: sustaining-critical-efficient-specializing-social-receptive.

Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:

Capricorn 8° Birds in the house singing happily

This is a symbol of the descent of spirit or intelligence into every last ramification of everyday reality, and of man’s self-fulfillment as he is successful in shaping circumstances or precipitating events so that they become the ultimate and outward revelation of that higher vision by which he continues to be himself at core. Here is the actual and impregnable independence of the individual, evident as at length he is able to make his world his own and call on all to share it with him.

The keyword is ESTABLISHMENT.

When positive, the degree is an insatiable urge to put everything to use and to employ every least talent of self, and when negative, idle narcissism.

Music Selection: My Favorite Things

“I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.” Helen Keller

Giving Our Ideas Wings

If you have had a great idea and are going to put it out there—if you’re going to bring your epiphany to light–then let’s be sure your own personal stamp of approval is affixed to what takes wing! It is understood that you’ve had this great flash of inspiration in order to let it sing–we’re all here to let our light shine, not hide it under a bushel. And, I’m absolutely sure your gift will be joyful, vibrant and desirable.

That is the subject of today’s septenary–Establishment—setting the foundation of even greater things to come. This is a sacred endeavor to keep that brilliant idea of yours alive and flying. You are the head of household, the host/hostess, the honey-doer, the fine-tuner. You’ll be in charge of keeping an eye out for how to make things better along the way—R&D department–always looking to keep things orderly, up-to-date and functioning well.

Whoa! Hold up thee, Sonny!

Seriously—let’s take a look around this house full of flying things! Just imagine a zoo without custodial staff. Do you follow me? Fantastic to see and hear all those flyers, but, excuse me, who’s gonna clean up their mess! Sorry, but this simply must be discussed! Singing is nice, even critical to the success of your epiphany, but you’ve got to consider outcome. Hey! You’re the one feeding those birds of yours, and we know what’s bound to follow. Just look at them go… Er… Don’t look down! It’s messy down there!

What’s a Head of Household to Do?

Should you wait until everything is perfect—all holes plugged–before you let your ideas fly? Nonsense. Creativity is meant to be shared. You can’t fill a full cup, and yours is full to overflowing. We absolutely must fill and release, doing all that we can beforehand, of course, to ensure that our works of light and inspiration represent the best we have to offer at any given point in time. It’s just that we need to bring up the rear, too! Someone’s got to play Safety. Guess who?

Attention to Detail

A thought on throwing in the towel on the flash-of-light inspiration you’ve received from the Universe/your higher self. Of such sacrifices, God says that he spits them out, and that the smell of such incense is a stench to him. God does not want back that which has been given to our charge and care. He wants us to love those blessings of insight, nurture and care for them. So if there are droppings about, clean them up–regularly. Folks are coming to your place to hear your birds sing. Put out the welcome mat and throw open the doors. Just be sure the floors of the Establishment are nice and clean. So, don’t throw in the towel, grab it and start scrubbing!

No Doubt

You’ll make your home a place where all may come and feel welcome. It will be filled with all your favorite things, and when things drop, you’ll be there to clean them up, no doubt, whistling while you work!

Capricorn 7° “Here comes a flash of insight.”

The Span of Illusiveness – The 1st Hemisphere of Capricorn

Phase 277

Earth Element – Cardinal

The formula is: sustaining-critical-efficient-specializing-social-sensitive.

Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:

Capricorn 7° A veiled prophet of power

This is a symbol of nature’s illimitable potentialities on the side of her readiness to meet the physical and psychological demands of man, and of the necessity that he exercise his mastery of natural forces as a basis for his self-assurance in meeting everyday strain and turmoil. Here is an exaltation of the untapped resources inherent in all personality, and a dramatization of life achievement as the essence of self-fulfillment.

The keyword is SUPREMACY.

When positive, the degree is unerring insight into the motives of men and a consequent gift for organizing their efforts along any given line of accomplishment, and when negative, inability to distinguish true values from false.

One Moment in Time ~ Whitney Houston 

The ALL is Mind ~ The Universe is Mental. (The Hermetic Axiom)

The Screen of Prophecy

Nothing can be created without first being a conceptual construct of consciousness. Without a mental, conceptual construct in consciousness, nothing could exist.

Epiphany

“Hold this idea in your mind! Don’t let go of it! Think about it! Draw it! Make models of it! Start making money with it; speak all over the place about it. Just hold onto this idea. Don’t let it go! And out of your mind will precipitate this invention from your idea. This is the beautiful illustration of how the Universe works! The invention can never become a reality until it is mentally conceived. Conceptual ideas, on all levels, always precede manifest realities. And this is the nature of the Universe.” Charles Gilchrist, Metatron’s Cube

The Challenge of Change

Change A) the past, or B) the future? Do it now!

The correct answer is C, as in ’seeing’ your great idea as existing in each present moment of now. Keeping it alive, nurture and sustain it–allow it to grow. With unwavering intent, moving your great idea forward. Allowing it to change, refining into its perfect state of existence.

Allow Your Insight of Truth to Be Known

“The Screen of Prophecy is a rapport with cosmic order that gives potential signature value at every moment of emergence in attention.” Marc Edmund Jones

“Getting to the source of it.”

Capricorn 6° A dark archway and ten logs at the bottom ~ THOROUGHNESS

We’ll Sweep out the Ashes in the Morning https://youtu.be/vK5791FtJ2g

Name that Tune!

Which one would you like to hear? What’s your Thirsty Top Ten countdown of memories of years before that refuse to die out? Back away from the embers, they will pop out and sting you, so be careful! Besides, there could be a stick or two of dynamite in there disguising themselves as logs! It’s so hard to tell–the corners of our minds can be so dark at times.

Blowing Your Mind for Clarity’s Sake

Go ahead, fan the flames if you dare. Make it right. Speak your truth. Let those sticks of dynamite turn everything into kindling wood. Light the fuse that’s been haunting you all this time. Fear has held you back. Let truth fly free. What’s left standing was always meant to stand. What doesn’t survive the blast? Those things were never meant to endure to begin with. It’s time to be thorough.

Then, Sweep Out All Those Ashes

None of us have ever committed a “new” sin. They’ve all been done before. Nothing unique about what you did or he did or she did. We’re all here on this planet Earth together. The lessons bind us together. We need to go through this sojourn in order for us to move ahead, individually and collectively. We are overcoming, at the most fundamental level, our animalistic and egoic natures. Lots of lessons about sex, loyalty, allegiance, ideals, power, greed, and on and on, round and round we go, learning here and there, with each relationship, more about ourselves. We all fall. Rising is a choice. Eventually we’ll learn what it was we wanted to learn. We’ll break the pattern hiding deep within our psyche. Only then can we sweep out the old and bring in the new.

A little bit of research on The Yule Log might go a long way in helping with a new understanding.

Capricorn 5° “Sit and sway to the rhythm.”

The Span of Illusiveness – The 1st Hemisphere of Capricorn

Phase 275

Earth Element – Cardinal

The formula is: sustaining-critical-efficient-specializing-physical-inspired.

Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:

Capricorn 5° Indians rowing a canoe and dancing a war dance

This is a symbol of the irresistible impulse to action inherent in the very fact of conscious being, and of the powers of accomplishment brought to their personal focus as some pattern of motives takes form on the subjective side of things. Implicit in the symbolism is the ever-primitive nature of life at root, and the necessity that thoroughly practical and immediate considerations prevail whenever the inner or ideal ordering proves inadequate.

The keyword is MOBILIZATION.

When positive, the degree is a capacity for aggressive leadership and an unusual effectiveness in sidetracking minor issues for the sake of major achievement, and when negative, unnecessary moods and tantrums.

For King and Country – Little Drummer Boy

Some know the magic of Christmas, in all its glory, and never lose sight of the wonders of it.

Others might have become cynical from the pummels and heart-torn passages through life itself and may well have lost the Christmas spirit. Like the previous degree’s music selection, they may ask, Where are you Christmas, why can’t I find you… Or, like Scrooge, may bah-humbug the entirety of the season. Worst of all is the Grinch, who goes even further in an attempt to sabotage the entire celebration.

Do you wonder why Christmas causes such a stir and why everyone feels so differently about it? So, tell me, what does Christmas mean to you? I ask rhetorically, of course! This is no time for a debate! You are right, whatever your answer, until it doesn’t sit right with you. Christmas, you see, is just one of those holidays that demands a personal relationship in regards to it. The world won’t let you off the hook—there’ll be shopping and advertising, decorations and cards, music and church services… Nothing can stop Christmas from coming. So then, we really should try and figure it out for ourselves.

Consider, if you will, what exactly Christmas means to you. Make a list. Check it twice. Listen to the carols. Enjoy the lights. Now listen to your heart. Instead of rocking the boat, sit and sway to the rhythm. Perhaps you will remember ideally or create or recreate, ideally, a Christmas that has special significance to you—a Christmas that will mobilize you to celebrate in just the right way—your way–and then others will look at you and exclaim, “What’s all the fuss about?!” And, I imagine, that when they ask, there will be a twinkle in your eye. Christmas, you see, is something you can’t tell others about—it’s something they must experience for themselves.

May your ideal Christmas ring through! Carol of the Bells

Capricorn 4° “Ideal self-projection.”

The Span of Illusiveness – The 1st Hemisphere of Capricorn

Phase 274

Earth Element – Cardinal

The formula is: sustaining-critical-efficient-specializing-physical-responsible.

Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:

Capricorn 4° A party entering a large canoe

This is a symbol of man’s necessary adjustment of the practical details in his immediate environment as a preliminary to any personal participation in experience, and of his greater concern with these at times than with the real ends in view. Here also is his desire for the approval of his fellows before he commits himself, and his determination to involve them in whatever commands his own attention. The individual is sure of himself as he acts with others.

The keyword is ORDERING.

When positive, the degree is exceptional capacity for bringing all proper relationships to a point of effectiveness in any given exigency of everyday affairs, and when negative, inability to get along with anybody.

All Aboard for Infinity and Beyond

“A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.” ― James P. Carse

Life is not One Game but Many

“The difference between the quest for the Holy Grail and someone saying ‘bring me a cup’ is the flavor text and the number of stops involved.” ― Bryan Fields

Need to Know Basis

Are you getting the hang of this game of life yet? Are you having fun? Life is such an exciting game, unless it’s not. When it’s not, then a change of perspective is in order–the get-up-and-go dynamic! Time after time. In the cyclical process, win or lose (never believe the strange dictates of others. Ho! Ho! Ho!), we are all winners. IF! Winners “if” we know the secret… Shhh…

Lean in Close, I have a Secret to Share

The secret is that winning has ever been and will always be about the powers we are discovering which reside within us–which are us–and which we cannot separate from but only awaken to through our very struggles with self-fulfillment!

My House is a House of Order

You are the essence of cosmic universal power but perhaps simply aren’t aware of it yet! Or perhaps you are! Wonderful! To be where I Am is to know who You Are, and to know that I Am is everywhere along the way of You Are! You Are cannot be anywhere that I Am is not for I Am is EVERYTHING! All else is illusion, but I AM enjoys illusion, and so is illusion too. Shhh! But why? Why does I Am want to be where You Are if You Are is not “happy”? What is it that You Are is awakening to in the place that I Am is now experiencing that will bring an awakening of the increased powers of I Am? Ruminate on that one! Ho! Ho! Ho! Wow! You Are–the power to know I Am! Then you will smile the smile that says, I know I Am! And it will be our great secret!

Capricorn 3° “It’s so much more than it seems.”

The Span of Illusiveness – The 1st Hemisphere of Capricorn

Phase 273

Earth Element – Cardinal

The formula is: sustaining-critical-efficient-specializing-physical-receptive.

Dr. Marc Edmund Jones provides the official meaning of this Sabian symbol in his work, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:

Capricorn 3° The human soul receptive to growth and understanding

This is a symbol of mankind’s fundamentally naïve capacity for experience, and of every individual’s equally fundamental dependence on the understanding and support of fellow participants in each moment of self-discovery. Here is a delight in normal living, not through its limitation but rather through a reiterated release of selfhood. Life is found to be real and rewarding because it may be encountered in such infinite ramifications of itself.

The keyword is AVIDITY.

When positive, the degree is a gift for entering into the kaleidoscopic patterns of personal relationship with an unbounded enthusiasm, and when negative, simple shiftlessness or abandon.

Where are You Christmas? – Faith Hill

Burning the Midnight Oil

In your quiet moments this holiday season, have your memories been rekindled? Have you remembered past joys in the midst of present hustle and bustle? Have you received dreams? Have you experienced private moments that cause you pause? Allow. Accept.

Snip Snap Snip Snap

Yes, it’s a busy time. So much to do. The clock won’t stop. Time soon for splicing and dicing, with all the kitchen equipment magically coming to life. The Christmas feast is about to get underway. But the aromas, do they carry you across the boundaries of time and space? They can, especially now, at this time of year. Allow. Accept.

For Your Ears and Your Eyes Only

Why do you think children whisper their wishes into Santa’s ear? Why do you think they write him letters? Perhaps children know much more about the secret of Christmas than we realize. It’s really a very, very private matter, it seems. Allow. Accept.

“There’ll be scary ghost stories, and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago…” Allow. Accept.

 “It’s so much more than it seems.” Namaste ~ Saijin
