Daryl Zero and the Search for ET’s

Maladroit misanthrope the world’s most effective (but defective) detective suggests that “when looking for a thing – include all the things: objects, places and spaces – in the world or run the risk of not finding the object of your quest because of the limits created from using a smaller search area”. Of course this advice is not to be taken literally – for who could look in every nook? The advice is essential i.e. of essence; it means to keep the mind open and subsequently the search area. To think laterally as well as literally and most importantly to use our Gut instinct, our intuitive skills and allow our mind to meander, to ponder and to reflect. Redemption is both the goal and the act: we are looking to redeem an aspect of the ‘self’ a part of us invisible to the naked ear and one that cannot be known to our left brain thinking. The act of recording/journaling (the details) becomes sacred when we approach the task inclusive of the notion of numinosity. By working with the Gods: i.e. the archetypal (living within the individual and collective unconscious) – we keep the process ‘alive’. And just like when we take up a pen/cil to capture the image from a dream the more nonsensical the better, we keep the faith in the images and symbols to contain and deliver the exact right information: vital and direct from source and we can accept the form without question – it is incorruptible. Our task is to decipher the meaning whilst leaving the symbology and imagery intact with its vibrancy and colour. This is soul work and it is zeitgeist work – the spirits and ghosts are here and now: haunting and willing to assist. We can further our cause, our quest and the search by using the right approach and the correct ‘tools’. Astrology is one such ‘tool’ for it speaks in the same dialect as the language of symbols. And it is here within the deciphering process: using the Astro symbols – that we need to be astute and invite the spirit of Daryl Zero into the process and to become our own agent provocateur, to collaborate and converse with the ghosts and the gods – as Jung would posit “Called or not (Called) your Gods will be there”. We might as well be clever and do the work alongside these Gods.

Let’s use Saturn as an example. Saturn has had a bit of a bum rap over the years, yes he is the Lord of Limits but he is also the bringer of structure. I personally have natal Saturn conjunct my 12^th house Scorpio moon and I felt for a long time as though I have been incarcerated by this configuration. It wasn’t until I surrendered to the situation that my preconceived view of confinement of cloister transformed to become sanctuary and security: where the environment was suddenly supportive of the process to further the quest. Once I ceased the evading and avoiding – that was linked to the limited view – I understood that I could foster my own ‘self’ discipline doing what Liz Greene would call “Crafting of a deep inner authority, where what is difficult is welcomed – in a bid to extract things of value”. I no longer needed to be victim of circumstance, I have instead taken responsibility for ‘my lot’ as extension of the ideal of being co-creator and as extension to this ideal that I chose my set of living arrangements in order to access specific life lessons.
