With the Sun having moved into Sagittarius and with Chiron (still) in Aries opposite Venus in domicile Libra – I felt moved to finger the keyboard – let the words in my mind (whatever/wherever that is) spill out onto the pages of 5D – of this blog site.
A little while back I used to be a regular contributor to an Astrology ‘club’ – members were invited to submit their ideas, views – opinions on current affairs etc. incorporating astrological themes, schemes and concepts into the subject matter of their choosing. These ‘comments’ became part of a platform – a viewing area which allowed all members of the site to read and respond – should any content pique the interest of others.
On occasion I would add a post to the site after having taken a stroll along my local beach. I was sometimes awed by what used to be found along the shoreline that was somehow magikally linked to the musings occurring inside my own noggin – amid my thoughts -wherever are they located how are they ever found?
On one such walk I found a stone and a shell. The stone was an unbelievably accurate miniature of Klimt’s Kiss – see below -and the shell took the form of a human ear. I had been ruminating in the days prior about Vincent Van Gough so this shell was obviously the calcified remains of the artists ode to love.
So today (22/11/2023) as the Sun moved into Sagittarius and after walking the beach (and also taking a dive into the Indian Ocean aqua) I was thinking of the Yod contained within my personal Natal Chart and as focal point of my Yod I have the Moon conjunct Saturn in Scorpio. Saturn as (male) authority and the Moon as feminine principle – Heart/Head – and how to use these seemingly dichotomous/opposing energies/forces to further my quest for self-understanding – for holding the Tension of the opposites – of holding hands.
As I walked today I thought of a song by an Australian singer songwriter (Paul Kelly) who penned a song titled ‘Going about my Father’s Business” which alludes to the way we unconsciously follow in the footsteps as laid down by our primary teachers – i.e. our parents. Amid the lyrics inside the poetry of the song are the words “What’s done to me I’ll do to mine” As part of my Yod work it is for me to become conscious of these inherited traits – the way my father was ‘in the world’ – how he conducted himself – especially regarding within relationships to those closest to him. I need to somehow find, see and amend where necessary -the ways of behaving that bore no positive result and paying particular attention to ways of being – of relating that produced hurt– so that what had been ‘done’ to my father – who in turn passed these ‘done things’ onto me – that I could use my Moon wisdom to alter these deleterious Saturn actions – to mindfully modify the harsh and limited structure to become an offer of kindness and support for those for whom I care. Thank you Dad – I know in your actions you did all you could – thank you Paul Kelly for the reminder – thank you Mother (moon) for continually calling me into the fog to dissolve my limited shell-coat where in the act of embracing of kissing the beloved I also whisper – words of Love, words of apology for any/all trespass – as Paul also sings – Forgive Me – Forgive Me

Beautiful Dad. A lovely reflection and reminder 🙏🏽💗✨
Thank you Zoë – audii – it means a great deal to be acknowledged by someone with such a bright mind sharp wit and wild SOH – not to mention good looks
Happy Solstice, and final days of 2023! What a year this has been for many in different ways which Saturn as Taskmaster may bring for our benefit although we do not often see it as opportunity for spiritual growth along with physical/ mental benefits.
Like the beautiful art (from REAL person) we are made of many parts, all in motion from energy view. Saturn can be the constipating reminder of lessons and then Pluto finishes the job. There are so many ways we get spiritual messages imho; the beach with treasures found remind me of Moon, and Water working together with sound, shapes, and shifting sands of time.
Our relationship with our parents or early teachers is part of Life experience, and it can be intense lesson in love and how we interact as humans on this Plane/Planet. Male dominated societies are still the “norm” so being male child, it makes sense your father’s unresolved stuff gets projected consciously and unconsciously along with what current events are transpiring. Generational lessons, and such are part of this, Mothers are also key being they are the Moon in our lives and how we are nurtured or not, this is where early abandonment issues ie begin, which includes trying to be accepted, cared for, and valued as participating family member.
This expands into later life as adult on paper, with tides crashing or gently moving the sands of time. We each have our part when walking on our journey and mingle with the masses or one tangle at a time, lol. Good luck with the insights you may gather exploring; I am still working on my own trauma with parents ie.
Saturn transiting in Pisces while Pluto ending in Capricorn before Aquarius is still fodder for Taskmaster lessons. MercuryRx is currently at Critical Degree 0 Conjunct Sun 0 Capricorn, and will be visiting Sagittarius *wink* watch for feathers and centaurs.
Thank you M for your involvement and wise words EM
