Recently an amazing astronomical image appeared on Twitter. French scientist, Etienne Klein, posted a photograph of what he alleged was a close-up of Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Sun. He claimed the image was captured by the Webb Telescope. Instead, it was a slice of chorizo captured in pixels on a black background. What? This guy is a physicist and holds a Ph. D. in the philosophy of science.
If you’re curious about him, he was born in Paris on 1 April 1958. Right, April Fools day. He claimed his tweet to be a “form of amusement,” then warned his followers to "be wary of arguments from authority." Holy Chorizo, BatPerson, it’s hard enough to get people to look up with revering ponder without this cyber-balderdash. Because this is so nuts and I rather enjoy a good, spicy chorizo, I am not dignifying Klein’s action with any further cyber pixel slices of his fraud.
Where is Proxima Centaur other than 4.25 light years away? In the southern constellation of Centaurus, our nearest stellar neighbor aligns with the ecliptic at 19 Scorpio 26 with approximate precession correction to 2022.5. What message can be derived from this star’s involuntary inclusion in a cosmic caper other than noting the transiting opposition from Mars and Uranus with a conjunction to the lunar south node at the time of Klein’s post? Well, maybe the Scorpionic maturity of the zodiac position inspires a deep dive into cosmic matters. A dive so deep that the truthfulness of the bottom line substrate supercedes/supersedes all heavily encrypted subtext. Says Proxima Centauri, “it’s all about what you intend.”
The idea of Cosmic Compliance and ones intention to engage with it seems to be drifting about. The idea stems from a concept based upon a human’s attentive listening to the messages and inspirations of the muses (and more). From Urania and astronomy, to Clio and history, to Thalia and comedy, to Melpomene and tragedy, when a notification pings your consciousness, listen.
Astrologers may perceive this as simply doing what the transiting planets encourage people to do. Following planetary persuasions causes Cosmic Compliance and puts ones consciousness in congruence with the cosmic forces above. One theory proclaims that the impelling forces of the planets urge us forward such that personal plans fit in with and enhance the big-picture cosmic plan - whatever that is. As such, willfully engaging the transits smooths out wrinkles in time and space and creates a flow toward shared personal and ponderously large cosmic objectives. So, what can one do when experiencing the urges of a transit from above? How about some cosmic cues and reminders of what’s at hand when a transit deals the cards of its hand?
Sun: Affirm all skills, talents, attributes and fun trivial facts about yourself. Integrate those into your consciousness. Absorb them such that they become part of your NDA, chakra system and aura. Then, shine with confidence for all in Creation to engage.
Mercury: Go for truthful brevity and clarity. Leave nothing that must be said, declared or outlined, transmitted or promulgated in the realm of unstated. Remember as well, to take in data with the same enthusiasm with which you may be inclined to spew facts.
Venus: Define what you want. Define what you need. Look for any intersection between those potent desires and carefully observe what comes your way. According to some belief systems, the universe provides in better ways than you can imagine. Can you imagine such a belief system?
Mars: Determine what you must do, then get out there and simply do it. Do not hesitate. Know your energy and propensity for overheating or fatigue. Apply energy conscientiously without over expending your resources, but most important, positively engage the impulses.
Ceres: Assure you stand on the moral high ground... not the political high ground... the cosmic high ground. When clear and aligned with the best interest of all concerned, advocate for those interests and yours to be fulfilled along the way.
Jupiter: Think big. Think gargantuan. Then come up with a belief system that supports, without a doubt, all your lofty aspirations and grand objectives. Believe in that system... really believe in it.
Saturn: First, Saturn is not in town to thwart any of your plans. Saturn seeks to align you only with those things that you want/need to do to get where you declared you’re going. He’s destination-oriented and realizes that the drive to a destination is as long as it is and consumes as much time as it does. Saturn encourages mustering up for the necessary organizational effort and required activity to get great things in life done. He loves enthusiastic worker bees!
Chiron: Everything encountered should be considered to be a part of a new plan to soothe the psyche and emotions, and create physical well-being. Make a point to notice the urge or tendency to shoot oneself in the foot, whether such action stems from being too quick on the draw or overly impulsive. Only select choices that are “good for what ails you.”
Uranus: Change is inevitable. Every time a new insight appears it provides a new tweak to background belief system for the way everything in life is perceived. Eagerly and openly seek out such enhancements. Every day apply reflective time to consider what, if any, new ideas trickled in that might have been missed in the basic busyness of life. Work your reactions to be friendly toward any new and different concepts. Realize that step one in any change is emotional adjustment to the new course of action.
Neptune: Work to summon your dreams and petition Psyche. Take time out to meditate or at least stare idly at something that requires no thought and allow inspirations to appear as if by magic. Eliminate those things in your life you know to be toxic and grab onto habits that support your most inspired causes. Summon the muses, archangels or what-have-you. Perceive attentively as they appear.
Pluto: First, look for the unseen benefit in any obstacle. Realize, it doesn’t matter if others feel your power as long as you do. Get clear... crystal clear on why you do everything that you do. Do all your deeds with the best intent you can muster and with the idea that you’ll keep on keeping on no matter what, and will do so for the best possible outcome for your soul.
Eris: Find what feels great to you in terms of monetary concerns and social interactions. Pursue only those that feel fantastic. Eliminate all ides of rejection and disenfranchisement before pursuing any option. Find a way inside those perceived impenetrable circles that is not disruptive or chaotic.
GongGong: Alter your perspective. Go for a new slant on everything. If you need to observe your to-do list while upside down on a Pilate Ball, cool. Work to include and seamlessly integrate even the most foreign or alien of ideas. Go for the fantastical and make it real.
And yes, probably Makemake and Haumea and Psyche and other asteroids, centaurs and Kuiper Belt Objects or whatever cosmic component that attracts ones attention need to be included in the mix with the above. Every celestial object that appeals to ones consciousness works to align ones plans with the cosmic forces.
After all, the slice of life in play is all about what’s in the celestial sausage!
More soon.
