The Chiron Effect Continues.....

The Chiron Effect continues to take its toll as this little planetoid moves into the 2nd degree of Aries, with my savings plan taking tne 2nd hit in two fortnites. Chiron's last entry into Aries in 1968 marked the start of my 8 years of poverty. This time around I am far from any descent into poverty, but my savings plan has taken some catastrophic hits since Chiron's entry into Aries this past month. The first hit came through my Mexico data roaming charges coming back to haunt me together with my appointment to the Heart Specialist with very low insurance payouts and very high gap payments. This time the hit comes through my followup appointment at the Heart Specialist together with Australia's very high taxes - the car rego and insurance payment. This however is likely to be the last of the car rego payment. My car is on its last leg, and with the repair bill destined to be many times the value of the car, it will be written off and consigned to the wreckers once it gives up the ghost, likely around July during "The Three Weeks" and the peak of the Chiron Saturn square.

Then the other manifestation of the Chiron Effect..... the funeral last Thursday. I won't speak too much about it, only that I am glad it is all over, and well we can get on with life, though one never gets over the loss of a close family member. I am still not over the loss of my Mother, and ironically last Thursday's funeral brought back painful memories of Mother. And with Mother's Day coming up this week, the torment is set to continue. Funerals however seems to have the knack of bringing together long lost family members, some of them so long lost that I failed to recognise them at first glance until they identified themselves!!!

Last Monday, that is, the Monday prior to the funeral, I made a rare on the spur decision to get back into Ecstatic Dancing. I hadn't done any ecstatic dancing since the catastrophic year of 2017. For some time I had been keeping my eye on a particular dance modality, known as Chakra Dance. It is a 9-week programme, starting with the introductory session, followed by 7 weeks where on each week we focus on one of the seven chakras in our body, then the final session where we wrap it up, The chakras are the seven energy points in our bodies which affects our health and well being. For example, my very out of balance heart chakra led to the heart attack of July 2015. The idea of this particular dance modality is to heal and bring back into balance these chakras. These chakras becomes out of balance through life's torments, unfavourable planetary alignments such as the Chiron Effect, and other shit that happens to us in life.

For greatest benefits it is idea to commit to all 9 weeks of the programme, which requires an upfront payment for the 9 weeks, and not having any other commitments such as overseas trips. Past instances of these sessions being offered often coincided with my scheduled trips overseas!! This time however, there are no overseas trips scheduled, however, with the Chiron Effect impacting on my savings plan, the upfront payment which coincided with the Mexico data roaming charges coming back to haunt me, would have brought even more catastrophic impacts on my savings plan since it would have meant having to dip into my credit cards, what I want to avoid!!

Then last Monday, the night when these sessions were due to begin, they gave a limited offer for us to come to the first session just to try it out and see whether we would want to continue. Therefore one would need only to pay for this one session. Not only this was a more attractive offer for Virgos who does not like to make commitments unless he is certain of the benefits of such a commitment, it also meant there would be no further catastrophic impacts on my savings plan, each session in itself is very inexpensive, it is only when they add up to all 9 sessions that it becomes expensive to pay up front.

So I went really left field, and decided to enquire about the session. I gotten the reply in a timely manner, so I stuck my neck out and decided to attend the session.

It turns out the session would be held at someone's house, in an upstairs room, quite a spacious room in what is a reasonably large house, not quite like a mansion but larger than normal. There were just 11 of us - 10 ladies and me!! Oh yes it turns out I was the only guy there, but I didn't mind that at all, relishing the idea of dancing among all these Goddesses. What more could a guy want!!!!

The session began with sitting around a candle in a circle and meditating for a few minutes, we sit on the cushions on the ground for meditating. Then the cushions and the candle are cleared from the floor, and we begin the dance. We dance with our eyes closed, though it is OK to open them occasionally to keep track of where we are in the hall. As with ecstatic dancing, we don't dance with partners, we dance in our own space. On this occasion we were guided in the dancing, it is akin to guided meditation except it is in the dance. The dance itself is free form, there are no set moves, indeed no "correct" way to dance. We dance according to our feelings as guided through the music and the facilitator.

Afterwards the mandala drawings. We were provided with an A3 sheet of paper and a pack of pastels (akin to crayons, what artists uses), and we begin to draw according to the feelings invoked during the dance. We are given only five minutes to produce our master pieces, this is so the mind is not given time to analyse, we draw purely according to our gut feelings. For me personally, my hand is guided by unseen forces, the energies of ETs, as I draw. Similar to "automatic writing". I have done mandala drawings before, at other dance modalities and other spiritual workshops over the years. It is a common form of spiritual expression, and I am a creative soul to begin with. Even the Christians adopted this form of creative expression, some churches employ an artist who is set up on the stage with the musicians and begins to draw or paint on the canvas according to his/her spiritual inspiration during the duration of the "praise and worship" session with the singing and dancing.

This is my mandala drawing. I did not think about it while I was drawing, I was in some kind of trance. It is only afterwards when it became clear what the drawing meant to symbolise. Indeed I sent a copy of the drawing to my Twin Flame, Cathy, who helped me to interpret it. The markings in the top right corner are the ET Light Codes, these codes being given to me by ETs. It is similar to ET Light Languages or "speaking in tongues" except it is in written form. The drawing itself is a spiral that represents the seven dimensions of my previous lives until reaching the 8th dimension on Taygeta. There are seven distinct segments in the spiral, each one is a dimension, moving up to 7 dimensions. I did not design this, I didn't even count the segments while drawing. It just turned out that way. And the ET Light Codes speaks of my soul journey through my many lifetimes up until I reached 8D Taygeta. "Me" including Cathy because she is my Twin Flame, we were joined as one in the higher dimensions.

At the end of the dance session I enjoyed it so much that I decided to commit myself to the next 8 weeks. I was given the option to either pay up front or to pay for each session week by week. I decided to pay up front although this would impact on my savings plan when added to the expense of the Heart Specialist and the car rego and insurance. Last night was my 2nd session, I will share about it in the next blog which hopefully will be back to Sunday.

Next is Yoga and I do have a particular Yoga modality in mind. At this stage, this will be towards the end of May, when hopefully things will get better economically and there won't be any more catastrophic impacts on my savings plan. Also want to get started with the Yoga before the catastrophic Chiron Saturn square peaks in July/August. We are currently 5 degrees away from the Chiron Saturn square. At the end of May, the square will still be 5 degrees from exact, but by the last week of July it will move to within 1 degree of the square, as close as it will get, and will remain within 1 degree until the first week of September.

To be sure, despite these Chiron-related catastrophic hits on my savings plans, I still have ample funds for the air ticket to the USA, to meet my Twin Flame. So just have to save for the other expenses, motel, food, etc, which will be relatively easy since they are all cheaper in the USA than in Perth. That means, if I save according to Perth conditions, I will always end up with a surplus. 90% of worldwide destinations are cheaper than Perth.

And so that is my current state of affairs.......

The Chiron Effect - Catastrophic Weekend

With Chiron into Aries my 2nd house, dealing with money, possessions, and pleasure, catastrophes continues to befall me affecting some or all of these. There was a reason why the 1968 transit of Chiron into Aries heralded the 8 years of poverty and abuse coinciding with the 8 year transit of Chiron through Aries. My cards says this will not happen again, that these catastrophes are temporary, its only a matter of how "temporary", with no end in sight..... and soon the Saturn Chiron square will kick in adding more to the catastrophes.

Catastrophes this weekend....... the first involved my efforts to find the appropriate attire for this week's funeral. Stemming from my poverty years I hate spending money on clothes or any clothes-related items. Back in my poverty we never got new clothes, it was always hand-me-downs from wealthier friends and relatives, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th hand clothes. Mother became an expert at clothes repairs and alterations to account for growing kids, so to make the clothes last that much longer. So despite having $1000's at my disposal and my spending on overseas trips, I absolutely loathe spending money on clothes. Even if I be a millionaire I'd still baulk at spending money on clothes.

As a result, my supply of formal clothes are very scant. I work in a warehouse so I wear only casual clothes, jeans and T-shirts, to work. I very rarely attend formal events. So come such events, funerals, etc, I find myself scant on appropriate attire.

So I had this shirt that I wore to the last funeral, and having since been washed, it was now full of creases and wrinkles. My iron had given up the ghost so I had to get rid of it, therefore, I did not have an iron. I tried a common trick, douse the shirt under a hot steamy shower and leave it to drip dry in the steamy bathroom. Once dried however the wrinkles came back with a vengeance!!! Virgo panic set in!! Anxiety is hard wired into the DNA of Virgos, it doesn't take much for us to go into panic mode and being anxious. I did not want to spend any money on an iron, especially after my data roaming charges from Mexico came back to haunt me and I had to meet that payment. Supply of funds were not a problem, I had more than ample, I just didn't want to spend it on an iron!!!

After spending the day in panic mode, just a normal day in the life of a Virgo, I finally gotten around to conceding that I just going to have to spend money on an iron. So I looked them up online and was pleasantly surprised to find some irons were quite inexpensive. We all know Perth is the most expensive city on the planet, so I think irons would be very expensive, but even for Perth many of them were cheap. There is the usual price range, from dirt cheap and nasty store brands, up to very expensive state of the art irons with more bells and whistles than a Mercedes. My general rule when looking to purchase an item is to go for the mid-price range, avoid the cheap and nasty models, it is very much you get what you pay for, but at the same time, not to spend too much money on features that you don't really need. Mid range balances things out nicely, with some useful features but nothing over the top. And was pleasantly surprised to find quite decent irons in the mid-range that were relatively reasonably priced. Still I hated the fact I would have to spend money on an iron, but at least I have one which is likely to last me a while, it even has a self cleaning feature, a major plus for me!!!!

So now my attire successfully iron and ready for that very intense day on Thursday. Planetary alignments for Thursday, well of course Chiron features in the alignments, being in Aries, and Saturn now in retrograde has moved within a 10 degrees arc of a square with Chiron, meaning, the start of the period when more catastrophes are likely. By July Saturn and Chiron will have moved to within one degree of an exact square, it won't ever be quite exact but close enough to count. Major catastrophes set for July, but with Chiron just moving into Aries and Saturn moving to within the 10-degree arc, the catastrophes has already begun.

The 2nd catastrophe so far this weekend...... I had my tablet on charge, and went to take it off charge when due to being very clumsy in my very old age, the tablet slipped out of my hands and onto the only 30cm portion of my tiled kitchen floor that was uncovered. Most of my apartment has carpet, and there are tiles on the kitchen floor but most of it covered in towels so that my feet doesn't get cold while doing my thing in the kitchen. However there was a small 30 cm gap inbetween the towels and the carpet, and the tablet headed straight for that 30cm gap, and it cracked the glass on my tablet!!! To be sure it was just a single crack running across the middle of the display, and the tablet was otherwise still working without any glitches. Indeed one can hardly see the crack when the display is activated. However me being a Virgo I despise any imperfections. I hated the fact that there was a crack across the screen!!!! Yeah we Virgos are very fussy creatures!!!! And so the incident left me in a distraught state, on top of the issue of the attire for the funeral. This was turning into a diabolical weekend!!!!

Fortunately I had a spare tablet. So I simply transferred my sim card and the apps and data across to the spare tablet, and so am now using the spare tablet. Nevertheless it didn't make me feel any better about the situation, especially since I am still paying off the now cracked tablet on my phone plan, and being my fault, I would have to pay for any repairs for the crack!!!!

On a slightly more promising note, my anxiety-ridden trip to the Heart Specialist last Thursday did turn out better than expected, though it was mostly my Virgo determination to push myself a bit more during the Stress Test. Last year I didn't push myself quite so much, was rather afraid my heart would give out, even though I was hooked up and constantly monitored during the treadmill test. You begin at a reasonably brisk walking pace, and every three minutes the treadmill increases in speed and the slope also increases, basically simulating walking faster up a steeper hill. Last year I quit during the 3rd stage. This year I was certain I would do worse, cos due to the catastrophic year that was 2017, I had put on weight, and is not as fit and healthy as I was last year. Nevertheless I decided I would push myself a bit more, afterall, they encourage you to do that and then they stop when you start running out of breath. This time I surprised myself, I made it to the end of the 4th stage, I did better than I did last year despite carrying a few extra kilos and not being as fit!!!! I am trying to get fitter and lose more weight in time for my visit to America early next year to see my Twin Flame, have been going for more walks, and starting to do exercises. And I have been checking out some Yoga places, which I intend to start attending once I am over this shit with the funeral, the Heart Specialist, etc. Once the funeral is over and done with on Thursday and everything goes back to normal with the family, that is me with scant contact with them, I have the followup appointment with the Heart Specialist on May 11, I will have to get blood samples taken before that, and the appointment is just to discuss the Stress Test result and the blood test, review my meds, and etc, for another 12 months. Then after that I can concentrate on checking out Yoga classes and finding the right one for me..... hopefully before the Saturn Chiron square becomes too close together, that is, before June.

Now the Chiron inspired catastrophe that is the football, being destined to remain in place 21 in our 21-person office tipping competition, having to jump three points to go higher, something that is simply not going to happen. There's a better chance of Carlton winning the premiership. However my feelings in regards to the Magpies did prove correct, that I would be in for a Virgo reality check, and so at least I gotten one of my tips correct..... and well also acknowledging the utter failure of my Weevils voodoo dolls from Mexico, I knew the Weevils would win the derby.

So on this note...... trying to match the universe's warped sense of humour, I would indeed win prize monie in the tipping competition after Chiron's exit from Pisces, you do get a boobie prize of a small amount of cash for finishing in last spot!!!!!..... my sense of humour not quite so warped but I come pretty close..... here's another sample........

The Chiron Effect

At different times I have spoken of the Chiron Effect in its many different manifestations, all of them catastrophic, from football tipping results to financial challenges befalling me, all revolving around Chiron's transit of Pisces and now into Aries.

There was one in particular which I have made a prediction. I noted that Mother's death took place near the start of Chiron's entry into Pisces, and my wife's death took place on my Chiron return, when Chiron reached exactly its spot at 11 degrees Pisces as was in my birth chart. So I wondered if there be another death in the family near the end of Chiron's transit of Pisces. And so when "step-father", that is, from Mother's 2nd marriage in 1980, was diagnosed with Asbestosis of the lungs, I KNEW that would be the death that would occur near the end of Chiron's transit of Pisces. The diagnosis took place about two to three years ago, and once with such a diagnosis, your fate is sealed, with death taking place within about ten years or less. However when the death of another family member took place in December last year, I thought that would be the death being marked near Chiron's exit from Pisces, especially since at the funeral, and indeed last Xmas, the step-father seemed to be still going strong. True enough that lung cancer can suddenly take a turn for the worse, it still seemed likely he had a few years to go yet, well beyond Chiron's exit from Pisces.

However last Wednesday, literally hours after Chiron's exit from Pisces, my Aunty called me saying that indeed the lung cancer, the asbestosis, has taken a sudden turn for the worse, and he was expected to leave this planet within the next two weeks. And without going into all the gory details, the next few days seemed surreal, and then today, just four days after getting that call from my Aunty, I went down to the Hospice where he had been for the last couple of days, and found him in a rather comatose state though still very much breathing. I had word from the previous visitor who left just 30 minutes prior that he was still very much conscious even if he couldn't talk too much. So inbetween this 30 minutes he bloody lost consciousness, so by the time I got there, he fell into a coma. I know one is still aware of one's surroundings while in a coma, so he would have known I was there, but just couldn't communicate this on a conscious level. And so it was destined to be my last 90 minutes with him alive, with other family members arriving....... and we watched helplessly as he took his last breath....... This was the first time I watched someone passing from this planet. I was not there when Mother passed away, and I was just hours too late for even my wife who passed away without me......

But indeed my original prediction proved to be accurate, the Mother and step-father pair would pass away at either end of Chiron's transit of Pisces. And what is even more astounding..... Chiron first entered Pisces early in 2010, then it turned retrograde and went back into Aquarius later in 2010, and it was at 28 degrees Aquarius when Mother passed away in January 2011. Chiron re-entered Pisces in February 2011, and there it would spend the next seven years. Then last Wednesday Chiron entered Aries, and four days later the step father passed away. Later this year Chiron will turn retrograde and go back into Pisces, and early in 2019 Chiron will move back into Aries where it will spend the next 8 years. So Mother's death took place during Chiron's ingress into Aquarius (ie inbetween the transits of Pisces), and step-father's death took place during Chiron's ingress into Aries (inbetween the Pisces transits). As morbid as this sounds, these "coincidences" are rather amazing!!! Of course as we know, there is no such creature as "coincidence", and so this is evidence that the energies of these planets and indeed Astrology is real, it is not just superstitious nonesense!!!!! My whole life proves this over and over again to the point that I can often predict things based on Astrology - such as catastrophes during July at the height of the Saturn Chiron square, most likely involving my car. Mark my words, something catastrophic is going to happen in July this year!!!!!

Each time I go out from my apartment I always wear my hat cos I despise the fact that I am bald on top. It is one of the many things I hate about myself. We Virgos are very self critical creatures, we are experts at being self critical. And me with four planets in Virgo and no aspects in Leo, I am even more typically Virgo than even other Virgos. So I hate myself with a vengeance, and I hate my baldness. Indeed I hate the thought of getting old, so I hate all things associated with ageing. So I religiously wear a hat each time I go out. Then last night when I was at my Aunty and Uncle's place, I bloody left my hat there, so it was akin to being naked, I feel very naked without my hat. So to avoid a trip to the department store for another hat, especially since I wouldn't be seeing at least my cousin for another week, and I can't go for a week without my hat, well I looked to see if I can find my beanie...... and indeed I DID find my beanie..... my COLLINGWOOD beanie...... so now when I go out, I wear my Collingwood beanie, and for the first time in a long time I could actually proudly wear it....... be even more proud come ANZAC day.... hehe..... haha.......

This Thursday is my annual appointment at the Heart Specialist for the stress test. I would think the gap fee for the visit after Medicare very meagre contribution would be stress enough!!! But no, in addition to this economic stress, I will be put through a stress test, which involves going on a treadmill which will gradually increase in speed until I run out of energy. And I know I won't do as well this time as I did last year. I am not as fit and healthy as last year, due to the catastrophic year that was 2017, being marked by three Saturn Chiron squares. At least this year in 2018 there will only be just one such square, so won't be quite as catastrophic. But last year in 2017 it was a very catastrophic year, with the consequence of my health and fitness going down, and my weight going up. And due to the Saturn Complex in my chart it will take me ten years to lose the weight gained in just one year. It always takes longer to lose the weight than it does to gain the weight, especially with Saturn's influences. So I will be going into this test on Thursday knowing full well my results will be less favourable than last year.
