Cancer (Summer) Solstice June 21, 2023

The energetic tones of the forthcoming 3 months arrive via the Sun’s ingress of Cancer on June 21st, 2023.

Solstice energies are reflecting the theme of transition from conditions and situations that were predominant in our lives during the past 18 months as the Moon’s Nodes transited the Taurus/Scorpio axis.

Mid July the Nodes shift into the Aries/Libra axis.

With the ongoing square from Pluto to the Moon’s nodes we have likely felt pressured to shift direction in at least one area of our lives the past weeks.

Sun and Juno in aspect to Pluto, via quincunx, may feel as if we were/are operating in the gray with no concise clear direction forward.

The Sun, just separated from Pluto, moves to aspect the Nodal axis and we may now find our situations require a radical reorientation, emotionally and/or structurally.

A vitalization of new commitments may rest upon the dissolution of others as witnessed by the aspects of the Sun to the Nodal axis.

Also notable is a favoring of the Sun by both Jupiter in Taurus and Saturn in Pisces which can lend a grounding and/or expansion to new and existing forms that previously felt elusive and/or “lost” to us.

This year we are favored by a Leo Moon at Solstice, placing our luminaries in the sign of the other’s rulership. Moon is in a lovely forming novile to Sun/Juno after recently separating from a square to Jupiter.

This is a rather vivacious, hope-filled Moon and as she moves to a conjunction with Venus and then Mars (rulers of the current transiting Nodal positions) there is a fostering of a desire for couplings that allow us expression of our creative and playful drives.

Where are you finally saying Yes!, to saying NO!?~Virgo Full Moon 3.7.23 and Saturn Ingress Pisces

This prose snippet below (slightly tweaked) is from something I wrote in 2005, early into the “intentional” part of my Healing/Be-coming journey.

Following the prose is a brief delineation/thought prompt for the Virgo Full Moon 2023 as well as an observation for Saturn’s ingress of Pisces hours after the lunation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saying YES! to Screaming NO!

Once, I felt Enough

Of the Pain

For a Moment

I Dreamed

Of No Tomorrows

And it was Then

that finally I said

YES!

To saying

NO!

~Sharon Brodbeck

aka Kachina Houska ‘2005

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The current Virgo Full Moon finds Nessus (the Buck Stops Here) conjunct Sun in Pisces with opposition to Moon upon the “Volcanic Eruption (Catharsis) Sabian degree. Mercury, lunation ruler, is also present in Pisces.

I invite you to consider the prose snippet above in regards to the relevancy of it in your life during this Full Moon phase. 

How are you doing, really? 

Do you need to VENT like that Volcano?

As Mountains crumble and Moons fall can You allow the Fires to Burn while permitting your Yesses as well as NO!’s to be your hymn and guide as You finish what You must in preparation for the magnificent Aries New Moon’s arrival in two short weeks(blinks?!)?

Of Mermaids and Loves Once Thought Lost ~ Venus Neptune Things

Was it She that brought You forth, to I?;

had She cast forth to You

upon Her ever-flowing Tides

my Longings of Heart,

ages and ages of need and want

spilled forth into her fathomless depths

as I, made naked my Soul desires

entrusting unto Her the containment

of these precious-unto-me Things

when the vastness of their totality

became far too great

to be held solely

within the Earthen forms

of my many mortal Be-ings.

Did it find You?;

as You drifted upon the Sea

the whispered request

for Your Presence before I

encapsulated within translucent bubble

an urging to You by She

by I

to swim further abroad

to where long I’ve awaited

Your return unto Me.

Or perhaps as I waded,

within Her endless shoals

age upon age merging

with the next, with the ‘fore

as an act of great benevolence

for I,

for You,

She pressed within a Pearl

my sincerest wish-filled Flows

and nestled the lustrous orb

‘neath many layers of sands

upon distant Ocean bed.

The Goodbye Song~ Full Moon Leo (sq. Uranus) February 2023

The Goodbye Song

There simply was not enough of Me

to accommodate

there not being enough of You

and though I wish a choice could have been made

upon which We both were found favored

I found it not to be within My power

to make such decision

for Us both.

If it were Mine alone to attend

We would not have arrived here

at the end of Our long walk

to behold this fork in the road

with We, knowing

each shall now choose a differing Path ahead.

Though did We not place steps upon differing course

long ‘ere We arrived at this juncture

when Each sought to follow their unique calling

deep within Themselves?

I AM LOVE with an OTHER

I AM Love

with an Other

having previously risen

to invitation upon

a Path of destination

one not of easy traverse.

Yet arrived

I one morning did

to find at Love’s Door

an Other I

whom too once had

risen to like invitation.

Acceptance by He

of I,

and I of He

alit a ferocious Fire

that laid to waste

last vestige of resistance

to surrendered acceptance

of a bestowing of Grace.

This Love,

that I AM

with an Other

is not a passive Love

though She be gentle

nor is She a forcible Love

but an ever-long

Invitation.

She speaks of

no confinements

nor definitions

nor denials

a Sonnet of Inclusion

flows from her Lips

and through

mine Heart.

This Love,

She tutors

is the Love without beginning

and without demise

to be shared Freely

in all Expressions

with any whom

rise to Invitation,

Evermore.

MarsRx Gemini; Creeping up on the Full Moon

“Do you remember when I told you about the pipe bombs in my driveway or the time my neighbor called 911 because there was a horrific boom and it seemed the whole house shook and insects were scurrying from the drains and she was certain my propane tanks had exploded? Remember that?”

~oh yeah; I do

“Yes! So the fire department came when she called and then they roped off the block and there was this really weird gas hovering thick over the ground and spiraling all about my property. And the really weird thing was no one knew why and as far as I know, after men in uniforms and hazmat suits left, it was just forgotten. Never heard anymore. Just like after they came and detonated the bombs. That was just it”

~yeah. so why now? what’s this about?

“I think partly this is why I’m hurting so much now; physically. It’s all crunchy-like and stagnant, these things that I do not share, because it just seems like my life is full of these really weird little jagged, seemingly unrelated events and when you just share those “random” pieces with people that have no patience or aptitude  for the unfolding of something larger, you just don’t come off well”

~seriously?? you still give a shit what people think?

“Yes and no. I no longer require approval for who I am or how I am doing my Am-ness. But yeah, I give a shit in as much as I don’t enjoy being the target for people’s nasty when they can’t get a grip on it.”

~nobody does. but you gotta’ just forget about that and do what you’ve gotta do.

“Yeah, you’re right. I’ve spent too much time not being dishonest but also not being fully forthcoming when opportunity presents. Last time I went full-in was back in 2007, remember? I told you how badly that went.”

~yeah. that wasn’t your fault though.

“It felt like my fault. I thought they were more openminded then they actually were. I heard through the rumor-mill that I couldn’t be trusted because I didn’t share enough about myself. So, I tried but it just freaked them out. The Christians tried to cast the devil out of me and the Pagans just thought my glowing healing hands were..I don’t know actually, but they turned on me”

The Leaving; is the Coming

When I awaken and go

I shall carry you with me

much as once you carried me forth

to Here

as I remained within my slumbers.

When I awaken and go

I shall seal

our Fare-Thee-Wells

upon this Haven

once permissive

of our unified

Rests and Risings

however fleeting

I recall them to be.

When I awaken and go

I shall carry you with me

course set in tandem

with ascendant Sun

wasting naught of my Freedom gained

a much desired treasure

worthy of savor.

Alchemy; the Space Between Eclipses

How do I bring myself Forth from this loneliness?

For the last of your Days

were surely the first of my Nights

yet still my Heart indwells possibility

that Providence shall grant us Union

with the Bestowing upon us

of a Reality fully formed

within the delicate sliver of Space

between rigid absolutes

that ‘ere now has confined us

to only mirrored Experience

of that which has been

the Other’s unmet World.

I Smothered it~ Scorpio New Moon Solar Eclipse 10.25.2022

I smothered it;

I smothered it ‘ere full breath could be undertaken,

Re-animating a once lovely yet still-past, dead Thing.

Though saddened I was by the doing of it;

I have no regret of the act,

and decision for it, in itself.

The returning of the Thing to Rest,

‘ere accountability be demanded of me for its very Existence,

was the proper course to be undertaken .

One day future when glimpsing past,

it shall be known that the ending of the Thing

was the beginning of the Liberation

for Us each.

I wish it to be understood;

that my relinquishment unto Death,

of the very Thing that I desired so,

is offering of testament to a growth

bearing fully this humble recognition

that should the beloved Thing Become

once more Arisen

finding itself Reborn unto a new Day

it’s Promise to resurrected Life was gifted by a Power

far exceeding of mine alone.
