Astrology in late July 2011 - Dealing with the Doubled Irrational Weirdness

by Robert Wilkinson

Yesterday I wrote about the newest phase of the Grand Irrationality, which at this time is coupled with the other major irrationality pattern present in the recent Full Moon. Today we revisit some things to keep in mind as we deal with the weirdness.

Though I just published this 4 months ago, it seemed like a good time to refresh what we can do while we're enduring this constantly strange and warped atmosphere. To that end, please take a new look at How To Dance With The Global Strangeness of The Grand Irrationality. As it addresses some key things to keep in mind during any period of extended weirdness, right now it probably applies doubly given the septiles, biseptiles, and triseptiles in play between the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn over the past 11 days that are affecting us all.

Given the Sun's current double triseptile to Neptune and Pluto, coupled with the signs the above-mentioned planets rule, we're in the heart of a very hard-edged period affecting 8 signs, including 4 heavyweight planets. This of course is affecting everyone whether they know it or not, so a reminder of some coping skills is probably in order.

There's more about this in the archives, and when I have some time I'll find other articles I've written about appropriate coping skills and republish them. For now, enjoy remembering that if things don't make much sense, they don't have to. What does matter is the ability to maintain our inner equilibrium as we move and groove through the intersections of Fate Street and Free Will Street at this particular mile marker on Eternity Boulevard.

oh so thats why i had the meltdown of the century today, thank goodness i was home alone! it feels better to have let it all out tho, even if it was me that was the crazy person for a couple of hours hahaha!

It's kind of comforting to know that I wasn't the only one having the meltdown of the century.

Robert, is it a point when the north/south node is in one of the "hot" zones?

Thank you....

Thanks Robert. That accounts for the weird experience I had about an hour ago. Someone who I dearly love and who won't talk to me anymore was walking through my neighbourhood, and we met. She still won't talk to me though. Sigh...

Instead of having a meltdown, which I have to say I have had a few, I worked on my music project and got a ton accomplished last night....I was really on fire.
Wow. I am not a very focused person sometimes. I really have to work at it. Self-discipline does not come easy for me.

I also have the north node right on my south node right now. eeehawwww

why over the last 2 weeks is the moon straying from riseing in the same place on the horizon ?
the variance is about 23 degrees.
does this indicate daily swings in the earth's spin axis
or the moon deviating form it's normal orbit on the eccliptic ?
is it trending toward more eccentricity ?
Before suspecting me of Irrationality (I too was in doubt) line up a street that points to a moon rise and watch it a few days in a row you'll see this..unless it is going to straighten back up
and make me look too subjective.

I am noticing things coming to the surface...
(saturn is sitting on my ascendent-which is at 12 Libra)
parts of myself that I have projected on others?
Or the wounds of abandonement,and feeling them
so I can merge with myself...
Integration????

I had a dream last night, that someone was drawing a portrait of me...and I went and turned the light on, so
I could SEE it.....(the parts of myself that have been hidden, coming to light???

I literally feel *insane* both yesterday and today. The universe has shut me down the entire last week- car died, major 6-day illness, i-phone fried, fighting with partner, friend's dad dies, and crazy revealing mind-blowing dreams where I am guiding myself through obstacles and hanging on for dear life- I mean, you just can't make this stuff up!!! And I just realized last night that currently Pluto is at the last degree of my 5th house and Neptune is at the last degree of my 7th house. I am on the precipice of my whole world transforming. "Grand Irrationality" seems to sum it up...

[Kathryn Davison]

I resonate very much with what others have written, i just have made so much progress and then WHAM every deep-seated negative emotion and associated expectation came right out to say hello and warp my vision. Two nights of riding craziness and now i seem to have hit a calm patch, thank god.

Double irrationality or double rationality?

Have been considering the use of satire that has come to my attention in the last few weeks. I was in a situation where it was being run. And the manipulator's use of satire created a very hurtful situation as the words fell hard on good people. The pain created by the satire was just more pain. I know it was supposed to be a separate reality, but in the pain it became just more of the same. Does it really need to be painful? I mean this is a person who advertises caring. There has got to be a better way than that.

Hey Robert.
Yes I have decided today to just ground myself and send grounding energy to the earth.
Its been a week of confusion for me for sure. I am tired!

I just wonder what effect the transiting north node is having on my mercury as it is conjunct at this time. Its in my 10th house. Just trying to see if this is a destiny thing for me.

Thanks for all you do!
