Spring Has Sprung, Fall Has Fell, etc.
The Galactic Times for September 22, 2004
by Philip Sedgwick

 

As the old rhyme goes "Spring has sprung, Fall has fell." Those on the northern side of the world might be saying, "Spring?" Yep, it's a fact. It's now officially spring in Rio, Capetown, Wellington and Gundagai. While those in every country "down under" might be in spring cleaning mode, up above we're dusting off the atmospheric debris kicked up by the autumnal harvests. For those muttering, "Yeah, whatever, I'm too busy with Jupiter detailing the last degrees of mundane, work-duty-driven Virgo to even think about cleaning," it's not a bad idea to polish things up a bit. Of course, at this point, insert a healthy Virgo interrogative: "Why?"

 

Glad you asked. Over the next several days, the Sun, Mars and Jupiter (Sun's there now) enter Libra. In so doing, they'll cross over the huge black hole network in the early part of the scales and encounter the center of the Super-Galaxy. Without dwelling on the astronomically vast detailed picture of "how big and important is this," suffice it to say: huge.

 

Relational themes now return. It might be trite to say, "love is in the air," but what it takes to build a serious, solid relationship, bonded at the core of being becomes the priority. It's kind of a soul mate thing. But let's not get carried away with that. I was told by a psychic when I was quite young, you never incarnate at the same time as your soul mate. That takes some pressure off the "one and only" syndrome.

 

So here's the deal: if you're in a relationship, improve it by finding your soul mate. If you're not in a relationship, draw one near by finding your soul mate. According to this prescription, still relying upon the last bit of impeccable Virgoan literal associations, one must mate with their own soul to be a suitable partner for another. If so, then the planetary passages over the Libran black holes goes well. If not, emotional demands projected upon the other person seldom come about to be fulfilled.

 

The process is not that hard. Simply, look at everything in your life. Start saying "no" to things that do not support, feed, revere, nurture and respect the core of your being. Sometimes it's hard. This could mean saying "no thanks," to a high paying, but abusive job scenario. However, as the culling proceeds, your spirit lightens. With a lighter spirit and more fulfillment from life at large, the approach to one's partner - or anyone in any kind of one-to-one relationship - becomes less demanding and receptive to receiving.

 

A key element of the Libran process stems from learning to receive the results of one's affirmations. When something appears that fully aligns with your heart's desire, remember to stop affirming long enough to say "thanks," to the black hole army supporting your cause and defending your honor, and to take a step closer to initiate the first hug.

 

Cleanse (or clean), clear the debris field, polish your space for opening, extend your boundaries clearly and enjoy the huge changes of planetary seasons.

 

Since some e-mail recipients cannot receive longer e-mails, I'll keep this GT shorter and see how the response fares. Regardless, more to come as the new season settles on the scales.

 

 

Splitting Hairs
The Galactic Times for August 31, 2004
by Philip Sedgwick

 

So the other day, the Merriam-Webster e-mail word of the day was "aspersion." With the Sun, Mars and Jupiter in Virgo (and soon Mercury will be back), there could not be a more perfect word for consideration (which means: with the stars). According to one definition, if someone casts aspersions, they are making a false or misleading charges to harm someone's reputation. But the original definition denotes a noun meaning, "a sprinkling with water especially in religious ceremonies." According to the background lore, some 16th century speakers noted that such sprinklings could leave stains. Yikes, never go to a religious ceremony without a ceremonial bottle of club soda or at least don't wear linen or silk. This says nothing of the defamatory marking of having soot rubbed on the brow to make one sacrificial at the start of lent.

 

With words like this it's no wonder communicating seems so difficult and requires such precise hair splitting.

 

There's a lot in Virgo right now and fixing to be even more. During September's new moon there will be five bodies standing in the celestial wheat fields of the cosmic harvest. Perhaps the counterbalance comes from Uranus in Pisces. In the effort of understanding, facts are sought to create a logical understanding such that the rational mind can grasp powerful abstractions. This is very good as long as it does not become the classic forest-for-the-trees syndrome. Some have said that enlightenment comes when there are no more questions to ask. But that leaves a fantastic void where the journey begins all over again revealing new, universal Piscean-like speculations.

 

Reports I hear suggest that the details of life seem a little crazy making right now. Maybe too much detail is in the way. Too much brainy hair splitting offers up a really bad mental hair day. But then again, too little detail provides no solution. In the political arena, candidates suggest bolstering the economy. I like it. But how? Then they tell us the plan is too detailed to present and we couldn't understand it anyway. Is there even a plan?

 

Maybe we need a "visit to the art gallery" approach. For me, I like to stand back and take in the art. Then, I move closer to examine the style, method and details of the work (not to mention price). The other approaches of a close look first, then stepping back also is perfect. The parts to the whole, whole to the parts hologram concept is alive and well.

 

To write the above paragraph I just stepped outside to take a short walk and clear my head before the atmospheric temperature in Arizona exceeded that of the corona of the Sun. Immediately upon walking across the grass, the sprinkling system engaged. Fortunately, grubby T-shirts and denim fare well under aspersions. As I walked by the nearby Shepherd of the Desert Church, a round shiny object caught my eye. Picking it up, I noticed it was a hologram. I'm not making this up. The hologram was sphere of space of brilliant silver with the gasoline spill colors shimmering in shifting rainbows inside this little emblem. Oh yes, this emblem sought to verify the authenticity of some apparel purchased to demonstrate devotional fanship to a professional football team. Since footballs in this country are kind of elliptical, I drip dry flummoxed regarding that actual shape of the Universe - spherical, elliptical or flat like many current models suggestion in neo-Columbus-ian defiance.

 

And where is this going? In last week's Galactic Times (the one with the wrong date at the top), I referenced the upcoming parade of planets to the Super-Galactic Center. However, prior to that, all the planets must pass through late Virgo angling in a hard aspect smack dab to the core of our galaxy. Effectively, commencing September 8th and extending through the 28th of the month, the core of the galaxy gets queried by our solar system's curious planets. The Galactic Center, being in Sag and all, actually digs this kind of questioning. It's like a playful master who hears a question from a student, but renders an answer relevant to the time, not necessarily addressing the query - but addressing the question nevertheless.

 

Now should the student go, "Yeah, yeah, but what about my question," seeking a seemingly precise answer, the really grand information coming down the cosmic funnel shunts into nothingness. My suggestion? Step back this next month and listen carefully. Let the details unfold. Make no assumptions. Consider the views of others. Fight the demons of chauvinism - whether political, theological, artistic, metaphysical, economic or related to rabid devotion to a football team (however it's played in your country).

 

The Galactic Center encourages us to imbibe its renderings. Think them through. Here's an example: In Arizona it was unfortunately revealed that killing coyotes and bobcats causes domestic flooding. Indeed, if you kill the animals that eat rabbits, rabbits proliferate. Rabbits eat the sparse desert floor vegetation that has any chance of imbibing the flow of monsoonal rains. Soon, insurance checks flow. Walk the logic track on new insights without making determinations until the details of the Universal Hologram thoroughly reveal themselves in multicolored glory, regardless of shape.

 

The Galactic Center indeed aspirates the galaxy's ethers with insight. Should one aspire to receive the aspirations, then one will be galactically anointed. It does require stretching. No strain, no stain. As soon as my hair dries, I'm going to visit my cosmic cosmetologist to have my split ends treated.
