And just another quick story.
After I put up the last post I turned up some groovy dance music and got down and dirty cleaning up the storm damage in my kitchen. I didn’t get the doors closed in time when the wind and rain hit suddenly last night and half a tree had disintegrated and strewn itself across my kitchen floor. The power went off and it was too dark to do anything but go to bed.
So there I was this morning, singing and dancing and a-sweepin’, when a man who lives down the road came and knocked at my door. I meet him with a big smile on my face because I’m feeling very happy. He’s angry and has come to complain about my constant loud music. Not sure about that one, but I let it pass. I thank him for explaining his problem with the music and tell him I will turn it down. I explain that he doesn’t need to be angry, just to share his problem with me so we can solve it.
Here’s a cute thing. He told me I should behave better if I want to fit in with the street. Aha! The Channel of Sensitivity threat of rejection from the tribe strikes again!! How naughty am I?
The trigger? The Moon (security) has just joined Saturn (control) which is opposite (opposing) Uranus (electricity and operating outside norms of behaviour). Let’s also count in Mars (anger) and Pluto (in Gate 10, attempting to transform the behaviour of others).
He goes away marginally less grumpy.
When I go back inside I am inexplicably not so happy. Hmm. I feel like someone turned down my power. My dB’s are flagging (I think they’re decibells). It started me thinking about how people who suppress their own power really hate it when others are firing on all cylinders.
And the funny thing. This guy’s an electrician. His job is controlling power! He was the perfect person for the job! Anyway, I’m off to find other ways to express my power that don’t involve loud music. Do not doubt that when we trust our own divine power we are constantly creating new pathways because the old ones are simply not big enough.

Mars is in the Gate of Power (34). The Sun is in the Gate of Possession of Power (14). Mercury is also in the Gate of Possession of Power. All in the Sacral Centre, sitting right there in your belly. Yes, you! EVen if your Sacral Centre is not defined in your chart, right now you have a sacral response. Work it baby.



Add to this the Sun in Gate 14, also at the Sacral Centre, letting us know that the “key to manifesting power is higher principles.” (Rave I Ching).
