Yes, Mercury conjunct Mars but also Abu Ma’shar associated Mars trine Jupiter as an indicator of THEFT and the concealment of theft along with religious/leadership fraud and the confusion of the masses due to this (i briefly talk about this in the Libra New Moon video) — so that’s interesting🫢🙃

Antoinette of Pomegranate Astrology joined me last week to record a conversation on the New Moon in Libra. This is the first in a series of collabs with friends on the lunations, featuring astrologers who have their natal Moon in the same sign as the lunation☆ youtu.be/VLfl3XXtNSw?...

A reminder that the Israeli government does not allow any international journalist into Gaza. That’s how they have killed more journalists than most conflicts combined since WWII while claiming that all the journalists they’ve killed were actually enemy combatants.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

A few years later I was invited to witness the initiation ceremony of Vodun Oro adepts. This is a recording of the invocatory chant the priests sang during the initiates' rite of passage. You can hear the whirring sounds of the Oro in the background: youtu.be/V0gedDGVoTE?... #spiritrealm #spirits

Hence there is a twofold death; the one, indeed, universally known, in which the body is liberated from the soul; but the other peculiar to philosophers, in which the soul is liberated from the body. Nor does the one entirely follow the other. —Porphyry

Your face shines more than the Temple of the Moon. Your upper part is of lapis-lazuli, and your hair is blacker than the approach of the underworld. The night-dark of your hair is starred with the lapis at your face. (BDQ)

Hail, lords of what is Right, free from evil, existing in life for eternity, to both time-limits of everlastingness. (BDQ)

One of my Mercury rx projects is to transfer and process a number of my field recordings. I’ll be uploading a few to my soundcloud. Here’s a funerary chant that my daughter’s matriarch elders sang earlier this year at a family ceremony for a transitioned relative: on.soundcloud.com/4gGUdxcq9jJa...

Love that Mercury carries over its prominence in my tropical nativity as Almuten, Kurios + Lord of Fortuna to being the Atmakaraka of my kundli and Lord of my Sun’s nak + Gem Moon. Started a Mercury Mahadasha AND a Mercury-ruled L1 major peak period too so I’m leaning into my Budha/Hermes devotion🪽✨️
