The Week Ahead: November 4-20, 2024

Lunar Phases

Tuesday, November 5, 12:36 UT - Crescent Moon, 28°35’ Sagittarius

The key phrase for the Crescent lunar phase is “gather and mobilize resources.” The Moon happens to be void of course, so wait until she enters Capricorn (15:17 UT) to make far-sighted, practical plans.

Saturday, November 9, 05:55 UT - First Quarter Moon, 17°20’ Aquarius

The key phrases for the First Quarter lunar phase are “take action,” and “build new structures to support our intentions.” Can we bring our very lofty ideas into manifestation? There’s strong energy for community &/or group involvements. We have to be careful not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good (Voltaire, probably).

Void of Course Moon

Tuesday, November 5, 10:23 UT (Sagittarius) - 15:17 UT (Capricorn)

Thursday, November 7, 22:38 UT (Capricorn) - 22:58 UT (Aquarius)

Sunday, November 10, 00:23 UT (Aquarius) - 04:00 UT (Pisces)

Retrograde/Direct/Etc.

Pre-retrograde shadow: Mercury/Sagittarius (starting Thursday the 7th), Mars/Leo

Retrograde: Jupiter/Gemini, Saturn/Pisces, Chiron/Aries, Uranus/Taurus, Neptune/Pisces, Eris/Aries

Post-retrograde shadow: Ceres/Capricorn

Transiting Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow on Thursday, November 7, 12:32 UT, at 6°24’ Sagittarius. What’s the big idea? Where do we need to stretch our brains a bit?

Et Cetera

There is one Opportunity Period this week: Saturday, November 9, 22:17 UT - Sunday, November 10, 00:23 UT. “During this short but very positive OP, you’re able to succeed at anything, from inspired creativity to romance.”

The Scorpio Cross-Quarter Day (when the transiting Sun reaches 15°00’00” of Scorpio) is Wednesday, November 6, at 22:20 UT. Looks promising for a focus on self-reliance and maturity.

This is going to be a tense week - of course - we have to wait patiently, see where the dust settles (and recognize that may take a few weeks), and then figure out what to do next. Election Day itself starts out with a void Sagittarius Moon, but at 10:17 EST the Moon moves into Capricorn. The Sun is separating from a trine Saturn, too, so there’s considerable Saturn/Cap energy. The Democratic Party is ruled by Capricorn….

I think there is a sizable chunk of the American populace which is sick and tired of the Dolt 45 freak show - we want maturity and responsibility. But there’s another chunk coming from a place of fear, and which will vote accordingly. US economist Robert Reich keeps describing himself as “nauseously optimistic” about the election, and I have to agree. Do what you have to do to keep calm, and if you’re a US citizen aged 18 and over, go vote!

Getting dumped because I was 54

Another page from Black Lives Journal: (See the 1/1/2024  blog re: Black Pearls Journal)

PREJUDICE

"Terms like “prejudice” and “racism” often miss the full scope of racial devaluation in  our society, implying as they do that racial devaluation comes primarily from the strongly prejudiced, not from the good people.”

Claude M. Steele

April 11, 2010 Sunday 7:29am

“On this day, I…think about getting dumped by a young guy at the Midnight Sun because I was 54. Later, at a gay magazine store near by, the young male clerk, hearing my story about being dumped  said re: the guy who dumped me “Fuck him. I hate ageism.”

In another store, after telling the grey haired male clerk the same story, he said “A guy picked me because of my age.’

Later, at the card shop, the clerk there said “54. That’s young. Wish I were 54 again.”

End of entry

Note:

The Mid Night Sun was and still is a gay video bar on 18th street near Castro in San Fransisco, California.

I loath how one of my teachers handles grading and time allotted for assignments it is killing me slowly

[empressofmankind]

Don't let the live action lie to you, the schminked danger noodle is a whole head taller than me.

You know how tall I am? I am a breeze and a fart over 1.75 m (5'7). That means the clown is a solid 1.90 m (6'4)!

That is tall enough to hit your head on most doors. OK, that got me a chortle over imagining the rest of him walking on.

Anyway.

What I am saying, is that the clown may be skinny af, but he's also absolutely stupid tall. You could use him as a tightrope. He's a walking traffic light. You hang a sail on him, you don't need a mast.

You understand what I am saying?

[autogeneity]

apparently I am having "the perfect journey of progress" which I think translates to "you suck exactly as much as we would expect you to at any given time". not too shabby I guess! they seem very happy about this, almost like although they would expect that abstractly, in actuality they did not. which well neither did I so hey

The Week Ahead: March 4-10, 2024

Lunar Phases

Thursday, March 7, 04:04 UT - Balsamic Moon, 2°04’ Aquarius

The key phrases for the Balsamic lunar phase are “let go of the past” and “envision the future.” We’re in a sourly antisocial mood and gladly take time off.

Sunday, March 10, 09:00 UT - New Moon, 20°17’ Pisces

The key phrase for the New lunar phase is “set a new intention for the month” - something we think we can establish in one month’s time. The focus is relatively narrow, and we easily find areas for some improvement.

Void of Course Moon

Monday, March 4, 15:41 UT (Sagittarius) - 21:15 UT (Capricorn)

Wednesday, March 6, 19:35 UT (Capricorn) - Thursday, March 7, 00:38 UT (Aquarius)

Friday, March 8, 18:56 UT (Aquarius) - Saturday, March 9, 01:03 UT (Pisces)

Sunday, March 10, 19:45 UT (Pisces) - Monday, March 11, 00:19 UT (Aries)

Retrograde/Direct/Etc.

Pre-retrograde shadow: Ceres/Capricorn, Pallas Athene/Sagittarius

Retrograde: Juno/Virgo

Post-retrograde shadow: Vesta/Gemini, Jupiter/Taurus

Ingress

Sunday, March 10, 04:03 UT - transiting Mercury enters Aries

Due to retrograde motion, Mercury will remain in Aries until May 15. We have the right to be heard, and the right to know what’s going on.

Et Cetera

There are, if you live in the Western Hemisphere, four (4!!!) Opportunity Periods this week:

Monday, March 4, 21:15 UT - Wednesday, March 6, 19:35 UT. “Long OP great for high productivity and constructive work.” (I recommend tidying up unfinished business.)

Friday, March 8, 08:50 UT - 18:56 UT. A friendly Friday to socialize and spend time with others.”

Sunday, March 10, 08:30 UT - 09:30 UT. This is one-half hour before and after the Pisces New Moon. “If you have something important to start around now, this is a great time to do it.”

Monday, March 11, 03:15 UT - Tuesday, March 12, 11:08 UT. “Channel your energy and enthusiasm into your new ventures under this positive New Moon.”

This is the last week for “smooth sailing” - next week, on Friday the 15th, “eclipse season” is upon us once again as we enter the shadow of the eclipse. And a couple of weeks from now (Monday, March 18), transiting Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow.

In the US, stupid fucking Daylight Savings Time starts on Sunday the 10th, at 2 am local time. Ugh.

I wish my job allowed me to do fun things outside of work for more than like maybe 2 hours
