DAY NINE: AT THE THRESHOLD In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between them, there are doors.” ― William Blake We are definitely right on the precipice of the darkest before the proverbial dawn. In the Sidereal system of astrology (Jyotish), Saturn is sitting on what is called the Gandanta (karmic knot points) or liminal point between Scorpio and Sagittarius. He is literally on the tail of the Scorpion, or the Galactic Center in the western system. We are also about to reach the darkest phase of the Moon before she opposes Uranus in Aries and then the Moon quickly followed by the Sun move into Scorpio to join Jupiter and Mercury. In other words, we are on the verge of more major shifts/epiphanies. The darkness to light theme is an ongoing one. I woke up to ash-covered skies and my apartment building smelling like the Delhi airport but by the evening the sky had turned all pastel and pretty with a definite angelic omen as you see above. So there is hope. Some of this heaviness is going to lift. There will be rising from the ashes once we cross the threshold of this extremely dark lunar phase. The upcoming opposition to Uranus could bring something quite revolutionary and yet more awakening. So in such corrupt and soul-sucking times, what to do to stay open to the Infinite? We must hold the tension of the opposites of knowing this is a dream and unreal and yet being completely present and witnessing and participating in it like true warriors. Being in the world but not of it, doesn't mean check out and pretend it's not happening. Again it's not the throw pink bubble gum version of love and light on it. It's about staying connected and plugged in to the love of the Infinite to see through the darkness of what is being presented to us. Not being fearless but like Krishna on the battlefield, we must go in all the way as is our dharma to do so. We don't hide out on the sidelines and hope someone else will do the dirty work for us-- in the name of spirituality. We roll up our sleeves and get in there and fight for the complete demolition of ignorance. We ask where we can most be of use, of service. #p40mars (at Russian Hill, San Francisco)

DAY FIVE:: To make oneself strong takes no more work than to make oneself miserable, Don Juan says. Hence the warrior does not waste his time in weakness but takes responsibility for his acts and lives strategically, alert to synchronicity and to what is. The warrior is not afraid because he is guided by unbending purpose, is focused and alert--hence he can cope with all threats and terrors. To hold onto himself yet let go of himself at the same time--that is the way of the warrior. Thus he embodies the integration of the receptive and the creative, living and loving the paradoxes of life, balancing both the terror and wonder of being human... a readiness to stand on one's own ground and to be open to what is there. --Leonard #p40mars #jungianpsychology

Skies are red and roses are blue. So are our hearts. 💙💙💙💙in California. Also discussing the true blue, ride or die friendships that are so rare and so precious. Jupiter in Scorpio has the BS X-ray amplified for all relationships. Friend or Foe is theme of DAY FOUR of P40::47: MARS. "Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, "Love your enemies." It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. (from "Loving Your Enemies") ― Martin Luther King Jr., A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. #p40mars #friendorfoe

DAY ONE: The whole earth is our hospital Endowed by the ruined millionaire, Wherein, if we do well, we shall Die of the absolute paternal care That will not leave us, but prevents us everywhere. The chill ascends from feet to knees, The fever sings in mental wires. If to be warmed, then I must freeze And quake in frigid purgatorial fires Of which the flame is roses, and the smoke is briars.--TS Eliot #mars #p40mars

Do you have frequent accidents, migrarines or skin eruptions? Do you have difficulty with physical discipline? Have you experienced sexual trauma that makes you feel shut-down and/or unable to orgasm? Do you let others walk all over you? Do you struggle with indecision and an inability to assert yourself?

"Know yourself to be an Immortal Entity, a Star pursuing its way unhampered through the infinite heavens from eternity to eternity." — Israel Regardie. Mars Day and getting fired up about the next P40:: 37: Mars starting Oct 10th on the day Jupiter moves into Scorpio. In the final four Project 40's...we are devoting the 37th to the altar to Mars (ruler of both Aries & Scorpio) to invoke the fearless fires to transmute unconscious anger and aggression so that we may face all conflict and injustice directly and with the "art of war" conscious and empowered strategy not brute force. Registration will be up on my site this Thursday. ....Here's an excerpt from a Mars invocation. The Ritual Hail, Mars, ruler of red Environment of Geburah Where only fearlessness Can tread..... Come out from beneath the embers so deep Raise thy mighty sword with blade all agleam Impale upon it ruthlessly neat.... All doubts and insecurities. I stand before thee and want thy power Thy energy and thy courage, To cut away weakness and false desire To make me courageous and fair. Impart to me your strength Merge with me, Come with me Oh gallant, tall and glorious Mars, Walk through the fires of conflict with me. Uncoil the energy that lies beneath Scorch me with passion and heat And set my body ablaze. #mars #jungianpsychology #p40mars #p40 #project40
