The Galactic Times for August 26, 2000 by Philip Sedgwick

Mars doubled….

 

What's that in the air? Can you hear it? It's the latest buzz. Yep, right

now testy and proud Mars in Leo inches up to oppose electrifying Uranus in

Aquarius. Normally this minor short term aspect induces only minuscule

inklings of nervous energy. But this aspect resuscitates the major alignment

of May of this year by agitating the same degrees in the mid-fixed signs. It

feels like caffeine is in the water supply or perhaps uppers filter through

the air. There are antidotes to this short term trend, which seek to remind

us of long entrenched historical (and perhaps hysterical - maybe even

histrionic) patterns in our lives.

The Latest Buzz: Caffeine in the Water Supply?

The Galactic Times for August 26, 2000 by Philip Sedgwick

What's that in the air? Can you hear it? It's the latest buzz. Yep, right

now testy and proud Mars in Leo inches up to oppose electrifying Uranus in

Aquarius. Normally this minor short term aspect induces only minuscule

inklings of nervous energy. But this aspect resuscitates the major alignment

of May of this year by agitating the same degrees in the mid-fixed signs. It

feels like caffeine is in the water supply or perhaps uppers filter through

the air. There are antidotes to this short term trend, which seek to remind

us of long entrenched historical (and perhaps hysterical - maybe even

histrionic) patterns in our lives.

Well, presently the Sun, Venus and Mercury seek out the harvest energies of

Virgo. Reaping reward, bounty, pleasure and ease want to be way of life.

Damn that Uranus-Mars thing now marring the forecast. There must be

something we can all do. There is.

Let's take notes from the greater buzz in the air. Scientists remain rather

excited about the fact that they detected hot X-Rays from the cold tail of

Comet Linear, which recently broke up with itself. This is only the second

time (the first being with Comet Hale-Bopp) that X-Rays, long theorized to be

part of a comet's reflection of solar energy, came to full observation.

X-Rays, simply and metaphorically, penetrate to inner realm. They look deep

inside to see what condition your condition is in. They do not judge. They

only observe. Revealing the nature of things, conscious perception can then

take over conjuring up corrective remedies. Yea! Everything gets healed.

Another interesting astronomical take comes from recent announcements that

ravaging Mars shows major evidence of once being ravaged by water. Maybe if

water – a divine symbol of nurturing – covers the barren plains less

aggressiveness (and probably agitation) in life are needed. Okay. Then

there's the discovery that Jupiter's moon, Europa, more than likely has water

beneath its surface. Well, now, there's something interesting. The

beautiful and compelling Europa with whom Jupiter consorted in the image of a

bull, forging great waters, offers another image of the soul soothing effects

of water. Seems like going on a campaign of nurturing to honor the inner

spirit, all the while seeing it as beautiful, offers the simple remedy.

Things like massages, good food, funny movies, time off, great conversation

and lots and lots of like and love in life do the trick.

This simple option occurs easily when one soars high in life. But when one

is just sore, then it's a major challenge. Here come Mars and Uranus again.

Agitating and mentally electrifying these two images of lightning render

spiritual shock therapy usually in the form of personal judgment. First,

stop gossiping in your head about yourself. What's done is done. If you

didn't like the outcome, don't do things like that anymore. And forgive

yourself. Another thing the harvest realizes with great certainty - not all

seeds sprout. That does not imply crop failure, simply natural laws of

nature unfolding as it does. Take a break from self-criticism. Realizing

this is no easy task, try discipline. Not the self-flagellating kind. The

kind where you use Virgo and wash your face with cool water when mentally

stressed. Eating a piece of digestively calming fruit for an agitated

stomach – like papaya also serves the image. And if you get it together,

this could be followed by passion fruit - to restore your pure fervor for

life.

Regardless, Mars and Uranus intend to flicker your personal electricity.

That they will do. Allow for brighter illumination to be the way. And if

the circuit breaks do trip, simply reset them. That's what everyone's doing.

At least, that's the buzz.

So within this speed bump, if there's anything I can do to assist, don't

hesitate to call. I will be facilitating laughter at the upcoming ISAR

convention in California. It's not too late to join in.

Gotta go, gotta recharge my battery.
