I'm waiting for some cool weather. It's 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35C) and 95% humidity. It feels like hurricane weather, but there are no hurricanes on the immediate horizon. Hurricane Ike went into Texas and then up toward Chicago and is far away from the coastal plains of North Carolina. Of course, hurricanes are just tropical storms that get tightly wound. They're all dragons. They all destroy crops and blow your house down. They all spit and spew fire (lightning). They're dragons alright. So, even though there are no known or named storms in the area, the heat and the humidity makes it feel like there are. This musty phenomena by itself conjures old memories. Fortunately, a cool front is headed this way, and by tomorrow morning everything will be mo' bettah.
I'm usually a pretty cool customer. By that, I mean that I've been around long enough and have been duped and fooled enough times that even I catch on when the situation I find myself don't seem quite right. Back when I consulted the I Ching as an oracle daily, one of the first questions I'd ask it would be, "What's the situation with me presently?"
I'd toss the coins and build a Hexagram line by line from the bottom up, in order to augur what fate held in store for me that day. When i got the lines drawn, I'd look up the number of the Hexagram in the chart in the final section of the book, and read the the main gist of the Hexagram along with any special lines that might be indicated.
My next question was always. "What should I do?
I performed this ritual many times each day before I completed what the oracle required of me. I asked whether I should do this or that about whatever, even the most trivial things. Especially the trivial things. It drove the people around me nuts. It's not that I didn't care how they felt about how I occupied my ti-me. I didn't do what I did to irritate them. Anybody who was around me much in those days knew what they were getting into. I was obsessed with the Wilhelm/Baynes translation of the Emperor's Yellow Book.
Besides, people didn't have to be around me if they didn't want to. I moved around a lot in those days, and they had to wanna be around me bad enough to make the right inquiries from the right people. Some people just seemed to know without being told, but they didn't realize it was a two-way street. It wasn't like they could know about me without me knowing about them also. Some of them acted like I didn't, and then were surprised to find out I did. Granted, I didn't always know I knew. In the sa-me way I don't have to gnow where I am is to be there. In either case I'm still a witness.
In my natal astrology chart the Moon resides in the Seventh House of Partners. Uranus occupies the sa-me degree in the Seventh House. This configuration is said in astrology to be a conjunction with my Moon. The Moon is the more powerful of the two conjoined planets by a long shot. Not only is the Moon Exalted in Taurus, but it's one degree away from the power point in Taurus that is the foundation of the Four Horsemen Of the Apocalypse. An Earth-colored mare. Both the Moon and the sign Taurus are feminine symbols.
This very close conjunction in the Seventh House of partners means my partner will not only be a woman, but a nurturer as much as a wife. Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius. One of the Aquarian's most recognized traits is that of being an eccentric. I attract eccentric, nurturing women who keep forgetting I'm actually an adult man whose war-like ways is what attracted them to me in the first place. They wanted my babies, but got foolish and fell in love too. A recipe for pain. "Fuck with the Bull, and you get the horn."
Anybody who don't have Scorpio-rising don't know what the hell is possible about how far a person who does will go to ease their own self-inflicted pain is concerned. One thing is for sure, the people who do have Scorpio-rising usually don't know what they're capable of until it's too late. Why am I always the last to know? A snake-in-the-grass is merely the larva for what will become a soaring eagle.
Everything about having the Moon conjoined with Uranus in the Seventh House says I attract weird partners. Most of them just hate it, because their eccentric ways that I require is the very thing they wanna hide from the world. I just hate it for them, but I'm also a selfish man. I want what I need. Why would I not? If they weren't already what I needed they would end up alone. Now, is that any way to be treated by life?
I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
