Smattering of Mattering ~ 23 Oct 2015

The “m” of matter is key in the glyphs of Scorpio, where the Sun resides for the next month, and Virgo, now occupied by Venus, Jupiter and Mars, virtually conjunct. In today’s vernacular Venus, Jupiter and Mars would be “literally” conjunct - but that would be a misnomer that matters because it misleads. Back to that mattering thing... this is a significant congregation of celestial influences in signs underscoring that everything matters... everything. Simultaneously, none of it matters in the overall cosmic scheme of things.


The matter thing matters a lot. It’s the basis of the clever axiom claimed by metaphysicians and psychologists: “If it matters, you mind; if it doesn’t matter, you don’t mind,” and/or various linguistic gymnastics thereof.


To the “m” of matter and to the signs whose glyph consists of the “m,” stuff matters. It matters a lot. That would be Virgo and Scorpio.


No detail is to be overlooked. In fact, every detail is the most significant life factoid ever. The healthy polarization occurs when it is realized that those highlighted, underscored, fonted in red details are also universally insignificant.


It is a matter of “can the forest be seen for the trees?”


It is a matter of “if you win the battle, have you positioned yourself to lose the war?”


It is a matter of realizing that light is a wave made up of particles, but you will see only particles or a wave depending upon where and how and with what consciousness the electromagnetic spectrum is sampled.


It is a matter of realizing that parts and wholes are equally significant to the entirety of the cosmic scheme.


It is a matter of realizing that a luminescent black hole is brilliant because it consumes light (and anything else within gravitational grasp).


Fundamentally, we can retreat to the underlying source motivations: intent. What was/is the intent in any given situation? When up to your posterior in fire-breathing dragons, it is good to remember your intent was to clear the mists of Avalon.


It is also good to realize that if what matters so much can be held in context, life’s pressures subside.


Consider that Virgo, substrated with matter’s “m” prefers to think and logically scrutinize life’s circumstances. With reason and analysis, matters certainly clarify.


Consider that Scorpio, underwritten with matter’s “m,” prefers to feel, sense and follow the lead of emotional lodestones. When feeling ones inner urges and primal creative instincts, emotional intelligence prevails and contentment is realized.


A Virgo and Scorpio locked in a Lincoln-Douglas debate could hash out the logic-feeling argument until the sacred cows wander off over the hill. Which mode of life perception, analysis and decision-making stands as superior? Like a look at light, that depends upon who you ask and when you ask that who.


Okay, right now, clustered in the middle of Virgo, Venus, Mars and Jupiter conspire in the launch of one of the best “go for it” intervals seen in a long time. What are you waiting for? A logic green light? You’ll likely get four greens and a flashing yellow. For the next month and during the apex of this rich celestial event, the Sun occupies Scorpio. If you cannot pull the trigger when logic says almost certainly maybe yes, fall back on the Scorpio charge. Do what you feel you must. Trust in the morphing of thought and feeling. Sit with it for a while, but not too long. Maybe 6.86 hours at the most (based upon an x-ray period of a black hole in residence in Virgo). Then, get your posterior properly propelled.


No doubt the anticipation holds thick humidity in your airspace, too. It is not just the foliage or the first hint of green in the trees (hemisphere dependent). It is not just rabid wagering speculation on the outcome of the World Series. It is not just the building steam for holiday shopping. It is not just the final quarter of the year “squeeze another goal in motivation close out.”


The Sun has been adding his energetic urging as well. Yesterday, on the eve of Scorpio the Sun emanated through the “solar flare that would not end,” according to SpaceWeather.com. Now that energy titillates Earth and the energy bodies of all aboard the planet. So, here’s a solar stimulation hint: When deliberating over what to do about the energy at hand and projects in the wings, take a moment to notice where you feel this solar energy emanation... on your body, in your chakras. If the upper part of your body (above the heart) seems lit up, try using logic and clear mental perception as your guide. If the lower regions (below the heart) churn with energetic intensity, perhaps emotional drive and creative motivation best serve your yearnings.


Or is it the other way around?


Does it matter?


If the intent is to embrace your best course in life with full gusto and make as much symbolic hay as you can, do you care if was your feelings or your thoughts that got you going? Regardless, when you have surmounted the pinnacle of your objectives, stand upon the summit and trumpet the successes and all the benefits those successes will render to all in your world. Yes, at your next apex, remember to sound your Matter-horn.


Okay, now we know how you feel about puns.
