I.
Woke up in a field of whiskey
And torn bras strewn
Like spider webs across
The broken rusted truck parts
I call home.
This field of dreams
Is dying one old man
Soaked in old spice
Hoarse with old crow
At a time.
And while the sun is always rising
For those whose flesh
has not yet
Begun to rot
from the over activity of
swollen sexual organs,
I am now beginning
to eat my days
One bowl of grits at a time
In a sour mash of jazz music
And corporate
Clockwork bank scandals
that lead only
to a shinning box
of Ebony,
covered by a few
handfuls of crumbling dirt.
~ For Jeffrey Haloff and Charles B.
II.
A field of Whiskey
Goetia and Heroes
Voices of animals
the distant callings of angels
Swirling night after night
Body after body
From distant caves chard
With the black of Men and Women
Who we can only guess at
By the Cleavages of bones
And dust of sorrow
Upon blackened moist walls.
Who brought this first into our blood
This throbbing warmth
Of a demon and genius
This Fluid of Life and Death
That scatters itself like broken glass
Generation after generation
Onto the floors of cracked dreams
And crystal brandy snifters .
That man, or that woman,
Who first quenched parchness to
to find stumbling, muttering
Incomprehensible and heroic words?
I wish to kiss them,
For making man,
And woman
Something miserable yet interesting,
A field of dreams
Where animals and Goetia
play and heroes rise.

III.
Torn Bras
Victoria secret catalogs
The scent of sex
clamors over the dust and moss
of this world like
fruit flies
over wine in July.
Keep it covered they say
over and over again
those apostles of the dead
with their black tongues and black eyes
But nothing can keep this covered
and thank you to the earth
for producing a generation fearless
in its sopping fruit dripping
with youth and moans
who have torn asunder
the veils that separate
flesh and spirit
like dawn tears away
darkness’s velvet curtain
So roses and lilac may bloom.
May they rise
glory of taught muscles
and swinging thighs
with endless fertile bacchanal dance
trumpeted by Satyr’s cryptic flutes
and swayed by nymphs glances
and red lipped moans
volcanic creative spirit
sundering red and white explosion
life tremors vibrant threads
unabashed free release
from strings of deceitful lords
that would cover
your ecstatic lightning
in leaves of fig
uselessly trying to contain
your flesh born birth right bliss
attempting to strap and own
like those cheap bras from Victoria
that tear and scatter across the floor
useless in commodity.

The Unites States President signed into effect 23 executive orders on gun control on the 16th of January 2013. I am in favor of some gun control, none the less, I seek not to argue the point here, rather to marvel at the astrological time that the executive order took place. The chart for the event is strong evidence that the event was astrologically chosen for effect. When you time an event, such as signing a document, starting a journey, or getting married, to the astrological significators in the sky, it is called an election.

This works, because everything is interdependent. Astrology is the study of interdependence on a grand and microcosmic level. The myths and archtypes that lend themselves to the bodies of astrology are as old as humankind, and have been in use since the dawn of history. They are so embedded in the psyche of man, that they fit into every religion. Thus they permeate all societies. Elections work, because of the deep connection between the archetypes that make up our conscious mind, subconscious mind, and unconscious minds. Elections are taping into that power, whether people are aware of it or not.

The time that the president signed the bill was 12:16 pm January 16th, 2013th in Washington D.C., the chart for that signature is below:

The sign which is best at controlling in the Zodiac is Capricorn. Wherever you find Capricorn you find control. Here we find Capricorn on the midheaven. This is a place of power. The Sun is in Capricorn, conjunct the place of the Midheaven, giving maximum control to the ruler. Who is the ruler, the ruler is always the Sun. Thus with this signing, the president gains maximum control through his rule. These executive orders will not be undone. Rather they will be built upon. The other meaning of Capricorn, which is a fixed earth sign is a foundation. If you want anything to last, you do it when Capricorn is involved.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, Saturn is conjunct the angle of horizons. Here it gains tremendous power to support the rule of the Sun. The power comes from secret agreements, as Capricorn is in Scorpio, the sign of Secrets. Despite the public outcry of opposition parties, there has already been agreement on how gun control will be introduced to America. This is what I see indicated by this placement of Saturn.

The Moon, which is the translator of the energy of the stars to earth, by its motion, in western astrology, is at 0* Aries. This is the place of new beginnings. Anything started at 0 degrees Aries indicates the start of a cycle or endeavor. These executive orders are for the new endeavor of controlling the guns in the possession of the American Public. The Moon represents the public, as well it is in the 12th house, which is the house of controlling, and dis-empowering, and mental illness. We are seeing the power of the American Public limited by this motion. (Again, I am for limited gun control, so make of that statement what you will. I believe that people should have back ground checks before being able to purchase a gun.) The moon also rules the fourth, which in a national chart is the people. I believe that the indication is that the ability of Mentally unstable people to own guns will be taken away as the end result of these executive actions.

Mars, which rules the Moon, is in Aquarius, the sign of the public good on the Midheaven. This indicates that the government believes it is doing this action to further the good of the people.

This chart is a powerful election for ensuring that Gun Control becomes law. With this chart it is fait accompli.

Lunar eclipses create effects on a few levels. They will create an effect on any planet they aspect in a tight orb. They will also create an effect on the weather. The effects on personal planets are defined by the soros cycle that the eclipse is part of. This eclipse is part of Saros cycle N15. According to Bernadette Brady its effect is a” time of good news which entails responsibility or commitments, but there is joy in the undertaking. Pregnancy, Birth, and Parenthood can be highlighted.” To look at this within your chart look for the access of Scorpio/ Sagittarius and Taurus/Gemini in your chart. That is where this eclipse will play out in your chart. This includes the last solar eclipse also which occurred at 21* Scorpio. The Lunar Eclipse is occurring at 6* Gemini.

As a powerful example I have a client whose nodal access is at 4* gemini. The first solar eclipse of this cycle conjuncted her Moon. The Lunar eclipse is conjunct her south node, she became pregnant.

Certainly an eclipse event in the Natal Chart is going to trigger a karmic challenge or lesson. For an event to occur, one must have an orb of 2.5 degrees or less by opposition or conjunction. Some use wider orbs, but I do not find the eclipse is certain to effect if you go farther than that or if you use other aspects. Brady will use a square aspect by one degree, but I have not seen the square have enough force to radically push the native in the case of a transiting eclipse.

Lets say you have Saturn at 6 degrees Gemini in the 5th house. The likely effect of this eclipse will be one of forcing engagement in creative endeavors, or with children. This would be a case out of responsibility or duty. But the experience, because of the nature of the Saros Cycle would be one of joy, or enjoyment. Look at eclipses in the natal chart as karmic triggers.

In Mundane astrology the Sign of the lunar eclipse is indicitive of the weather for the next season. This is said by Masha’allah, who lived in 8th century Iraq. He said, “it is fitting to know the Ascendant of the middle of the eclipse, and the one who is in charge of the same Ascendant and its figure. Which if it were a malefic, it will signify impediment and destruction. But if it were a benefic, it will signify fitness. It is also said we can tell by a lunar eclipse the weather for the following season, this would depend if it were in an Air sign, Water sign, Fire sign or Earth Sign.”

The eclipse is occurring in the windy sign of Gemini and is conjunct Jupiter who rules winds and storms. Likewise the Ascendant for the eclipse is Scorpio, a tumultous water sign. We can safely surmise that it will be a stormy windy winter for the west coast of the Americas. But what of the people. One would have to look a the town and location for what the ascendent is during the eclipse. I prefer looking at the Solar eclipse for the fate of the people predicted during the eclipse, and then I prefer to look only for those whom the eclipse is casting its shadow. However. In watching events from eclipses unfold, I believe that is not necessarily correct. My judgement is still out. If this eclipse cycle was to say something about the people on the West Coast of US. So all I will predict on a Mundane level is a stormy winter with high wind.

Blessings.
