1 We discussed the Venus-square-Mars aspect (getting closer by the day, exact later this week) in its role of “spicy eroticism” which can be on the horseplay side, as mildly sado-masochistic. A less pleasant side of it is just plain dissatisfaction with a seemingly available erotic connection or friendship. This can stem from actual unkindness or from over-sensitivity. Is that person really so crude and insensitive, or indifferently unkind? Why am I not seen for the fascinating person I really am? And so on. If such frustration bursts out into the sado-masochistic horseplay or joking, nobody knows what will happen for sure. Either the aspect results in the opposites just repulsing one another, and they separate, or in their constant vibration toward yet against each other, so that there is a stimulating erotic or sexual tension. The latter seems preferable to most of us most of the time, though simple separation can be easier.
2 If liquid Mercury is tossed on a surface (I believe, from high school chemistry) it shatters into a million tiny pieces. It seems this is what happens to our minds, sometimes, while Mercury is retrograde (until October 2). Today I listened to a Tim Pool podcast in which the discussants went in all directions, interrupting one another, mentioning stuff from the past such as John Adams’s warnings about foreign wars and Woodrow Wilson’s precipitation of the U. S. into World War I. This was not wrong but was inconclusive, as so much has to be during the Retrograde cycle. The participants were trying to make sense of fragments which need to be brought together, somehow. These periods are good for us insofar as they impel us to do hard thinking even if we realize its result is a scaffolding rather than a completed structure. This can be in regard to politics or philosophy, religion or art, carpentry or technology. The process is progressive even when it seems REgressive, and it can result in REmarkable insights. (Those interested in the royal family of England can see it going on in the constant retrospectives of not only the Queen’s life but all her children’s, during this MR mourning period. What has already happened becomes alive again because of the suggestive links it has within itself and to the present and future.)
//////
A bear lies asleep beneath a tree possessed by
A swarm of bees. A rude awakening seems likely.
A man on a mountain signals with red flag to stop
The heedless march of a crowd over a cliff.
//////
The unexpected should be ascertained quickly when
One’s superior position could evoke resentment.
A dark woman, masked, stands near a bag of money
She can attract through seductive machination.
//////
In fact her intended victim carries another money-
Bag in each hand; he’s penurious and mercenary.
Let’s go next door where a great musician at his
Piano shares artistry with all appreciatively refined.
//////
Laziness and bad judgment, greed and machination
Simply bore those attuned to creative achievement.
