Well, how did that Sun-Pluto square treat you yesterday?

Compared to the past week, the planets are quite calm this weekend.

SATURDAY'S THEMES INVOLVE:

1- REFLECTING; OBSERVING THE COMINGS AND GOINGS OF LIFE - The Sun is discharging "a retired sea captain watches ships entering and leaving the harbor." When this energetic is in effect, people, places, and things "leave" our lives, and people, places, and things "enter" our lives. We tend to recollect or look back on memories. Also, if excitement or a feeling of being "alive" is missing from our experience, we often look back into the past for it. It is a better idea to think of how the sea captain in this symbol is retired. He misses his old life, but he is wiser to accept a new era of his life, using his time to follow his heart's desires to make his life more fulfilling now. The sea captain finds the inner Renaissance Man/Woman.

2- LOOSEN UP - The Earth is discharging the energetic of "two prim spinsters sitting together in silence." This symbol involves opening up to new people, places, and themes, echoing the wisdom of the Sun discharging the "sea captain" energy. Emotional blockages, walls, and barriers want to come down with this degree of the zodiac. Branch out (which is the missive of First Quarter Moon phase).

3- CHATTER, CONVERSATIONS, AND BACKGROUND NOISE - Venus is discharging "a parrot listening and then talking, repeats a conversation he has overheard," while Mars continues to discharge "birds in a house singing happily." Birds, birds, birds. Birds represent spiritual messengers. What is "spoken" this weekend has impact. Spirit "transmits" information to use through the voices of the birds and bards and the things that we happen to overhear. We want to turn our listening skills "up to 11," vigilant for key pieces of information. (On the macro level, the theme of war is being "chatted up" dramatically.)

The Moon will conjunct Pluto Saturday night at 9:57 pm ET/Sunday morning at 1:57 am UT. This combo will trigger or re-activate things that were in effect with yesterday's Sun-Pluto square. It may be helpful to go back and read yesterday's Oracle Report and "reflect" like the sea captain, and see how we now feel about the things that are being affected. Friday's report remains posted below and on the Home page of oraclereport.com. Yesterday was a pivotal day.

SUNDAY'S THEMES INVOLVE:

1- STOPPED; PAUSING BEFORE REACTING - The Sun is discharging "two men placed under arrest." When this symbol is in effect, we can be very critical of ourselves and very critical of others. It is important not to "jump the gun" or react too soon with things. More things may be revealed before the final outcome occurs. Self-sabotage and feeling stuck is somewhat heightened when a planet discharges this degree. We also see the beliefs, feelings, and situations that no longer serve or provide anything positive.

2- GIVING YOURSELF A BREAK - The Earth is discharging "an empty hammock," which always reminds us to take time out. The energy asks us to detach from pressures and responsibilities for a while and recharge. We have several planets in cardinal signs, which means changes are afoot this month. Changes require energy, so refueling is advised.

3- PARTING DARKNESS, IGNORANCE, AND HOPELESSNESS - Venus discharges the energetic of "a woman drawing aside two dark curtain that closed the entrance to a sacred pathway." Long time readers of Oracle Report remember this Sabian symbol well. The courage, will, and desire to enlarge our perceptions and experiences comes from something that clears the way, especially if that way has been unknown or hidden from us. We finally have the "eyes to see." Revelations are timed to certain energetics of degrees of the zodiac, and this one is a particularly potent one. Mysteries are revealed or solved. Obstacles are removed. Energy to continue on is restored. Faith carries us through.

ON BOTH DAYS, Mercury discharges light on Saturday with "the dawn of a new day reveals everything changed," and on Sunday with "a group of young people sit in spiritual communion around a campfire." This month we have the "three masters hanging in a special room in an art gallery." The Masters of Light are displaying and exhibiting their skill with the use of light all month long. This weekend, they have the light on day and night.

We'll keep the lights on here, too. This is a lot of information to process at once, so revisit it now and again this weekend, and take it in pieces. What you get out of this report will change throughout the weekend. Layers of light are intended. To some degree they are "time coded" for different understanding at different times. I hope you have a multi-dimensional experience with this report, as we watch the comings and goings of the times.

UPDATE FOR SUBSCRIBERS: If you have not received the Welcome email by 10:00 am ET Sunday, October 9 please email members@oraclereportacademy.com. If you need to change the email address where the report is sent to you or if you have any other questions/issues, please contact members@oraclereportacademy.com
The daily posts will remain public for a few more days until everyone is on board. Thank you all for your patience with this behemoth transition. Overall, I am pretty happy with how it has progressed. Andrew and I discuss the behind the scenes "activities" that have taken place FOR OVER A YEAR to prevent this in the audio recording that is posted on the subscriber site. The link to go there is in the Welcome email. It will shed more light on just how wonderful the parliament of wise owls is.
Happy weekend, everyone!

Dealing with That Which You Might Not Know

“Some thoughts to ponder, especially for people newly awakening to the sham of consensus reality on this planet:

It’s very tempting to jump from one certainty to a complete rejection of that “certainty” and replacing it with another rigid, absolute “truth.” I see this happen all the time. It’s one reason ex-smokers tend to be most intolerant of smokers and why ex-fundamentalist Christians so often become fundamentalist New Agers … or why people who find some conspiracy theories turned out to be true often run through a phase in which they knee-jerk reject everything mainstream and swallow everything alternative. This dynamic gets people into trouble and makes them easy pickin’s for manipulation and psyops. Learning to face uncertainty brings challenges, but “Knowing that you know nothing is the beginning of wisdom.”

“I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: Love, belonging, trust, joy and creativity to name a few.” ~ Brene Brown

“It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn’t get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.” ~Richard P. Feynman

I wrote to a friend this morning:

“It is incredible how certain and smug people are about their one little sliver of reality they just discovered. Multi-facets? Unknowns? Oh, no. They have the answers and they don’t even recognize how they’re all being played. Why is it so difficult for people to admit, “I don’t know all the answers to this. I realize there may be hidden factors off my radar, so I will prepare some contingency plans just in case I’m wrong in this moment of smug satisfaction”? Is it because if they admitted to themselves some things they don’t know they might get scared by the vastness of what they don’t know and fear (even healthy warnings) is against their new religion?”

As ironic as it is for me to quote Donald Rumsfeld’s much dismissed comment used to justify another bogus war, he was hiding the uncomfortable truth in plain view when he said: “Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.”

“Unknown unknowns” can be used to shape all manner of public policies, wars, and protocols, because when individuals and/or entire cultures forget or dismiss that there may be unknown unknowns, they leave themselves vulnerable to blind spots and subject to the Hegelian Dialectic of problem, reaction, solution. When we befriend uncertainty, we discover that other options exist! Here’s Joanna Macy sharing the incredible freedom and rewards of uncertainty:”
