Detached Attachment ~ 21 Sept 2005

Later this week, starting Saturday to be more precise, Venus crosses the brightest object in our local universe - APR 220. This powerful black hole formed from the joining of two galactic cores. The resulting super-luminal quality simply dazzles the mind of the beholder. At about the same time, Venus also aligns at the intersection of the Galactic Center and Super Galactic Centers, commonly annotated as Z/ZS. Wait! There’s more. Then Venus opposes the current position of Sedna in Taurus, leading to her dance with Mars over the next week.

Given that Venus represents our desires from the realm of money and tangible objects to relational aspiration, perhaps some additional illumination does a body good. The road signs regarding the patterns ahead display cautions in a squiggly line that seems to mean, “Be careful what you wish for.” The potency of this pattern can bring about things that people claim to want and for which there may be unknowns, attached responsibilities or some other aspect of involvement that does not yet show itself. Still, good gets granted with powerful wishing, propitiation, affirmation or prayer, so say the enlightened ones who claim to need nothing.

Over the last few days, planetary things being as they are, it does seem a few things that wanted to wash ashore in the tide, might have slipped back out to sea. With the last full moon occurring at lunar perigee not only were the waves higher, so was the back wash. Should the Sedna “can’t get a good grip” phenomena seemingly pry a coveted something from your phalanges, perhaps you’ll be dealt a new hand if you understand how to appeal to the cosmic dealer.

The Z/ZS midpoint promotes the simplest ideal of alchemical manifestation ever. Ask for what you want. Speak in inclusive terms stating what you clearly want to embrace and those things upon which you would galactically join your mass and shed your brilliance and energetic light. Stating what you don’t want seems to hold everything at bay. Tidal turns prevail. After all, if your focus obsesses with what you do not want, how can you recognize what you do want when it demonstrates the good grace to arrive? Most people do not have enough foresight to repel all potential undesired factors.

Z/ZS’s alchemy also requests that you submit your requests and let them go. Be clear and attached to good coming your way, but no so attached as to reject something that seeks to collide into your spiral arms that doesn’t exactly look like what you expected, yet wildly exceeds your expectations in a good way.

Bear in mind that affirming, chanting, praying or otherwise asserting in the interest of your needs creates a proactive action. Simply, the act of asking falls under the guises of Mars, soon opposing the position of Venus. Mars does stuff to get stuff done. A thought directed constitutes an act of intent seeking to invoke an outcome. The key then returns to Venus. Once you put it out there, step back into the condition of receptivity that has no attachment to the specifics of the outcome and sit still. Assert block diagram affirmations that feed body, psychology, psyche and soul. Wait for the Universe, shining as it does, to illuminate the details into levels of clarity that seem hard to comprehend.

While this process seems simple, it’s because it is. In fact, it’s so simple it feels infinitely difficult to manifest. Ask the masters how they manage to arrange detached attachment in the constitution of their consciousness. When the master raises her/his eyebrows, take that to mean there are no words. Read the road signs. The squiggly ones contain the straightest messages.
