Astro Happening

Uranus Stationed Direct today 1/27/24 at 12:35a MST. 11:35a PST 1/26. 2:35a EST 1/27.

Allow The Tower + Chariot of Uranus SD to Become Your NO BS Queen of Swords

Allow yourself to forget the expectation of familiar hells of the undercurrents you are used to. If you do not inspect your expectations, aka the home of your blind spots, moving forward you may be play the victim by accident ~ the bird faking a broken wing for attention just by the circumstance of not keeping up with you now. The Tower’s intensity harmonized and naturalized becomes The Chariot. Together, they integrate into the No Bullshit card, aka the Queen of Swords. She sees. She always sees. Though like Pallas-Athena aka Minerva, or Astraea, she only responds when she does. Only move yourself when you move yourself. Don’t be moved by others unless you resonate with their influence. Otherwise, open up a crack in your Earth with Uranus SD newly in your toolbox. You can let gravity do the rest as you continue.

Roadblocks

Roadblocks are a nope right now. If you come to a road block or speed bump. Mind their fictional nature. You may simply not have the tools to solve for them right now. Rather than interrupting your momentum, just pick them up on the fly. Put them in your pocket. You’ll solve them when you are ready, though not now. Right now anything that gets in your way means you allowed it to get in your way. Don’t reason with every little thing. Stick to spending the value of your attention on your priorities. Tickets are sold out and the train has left the station. Where are you conducting your train to go today?

Pay Attention

Pay attention to Uranus being Direct now. Pay attention to the unfamiliar heaven of undercurrents and tectonic inner volcano rumbles ceasing and/or easing. Adjust to solid footing today and own it. Mind your ankles, though, as they may still have sea legs spo to speak from all the seismic going-son in your life you’ve been continually trying to stay balanced in. Don’t allow the play of the independent suspension to you temporarily fool you that it’s still actually there. Similar to getting off a bike when your legs are still wanting to go round and round rather than walking or running. Similar to getting off a ship and wobbling. Settle into the new balance of where you are. Smile with humor as you adjust. Keep wits and fun in your temp-wobble.

Wonderfully Terrifying

Use the wonderfully terrifying time of this poyentially unfamiliar heaven to reset your solid footing with traction and verve YOUR WAY. Uranus, the planet of individuation loves that. You know what Uranus loves more than individuation? Uranus loves that individuation is a gas station. Before you leave the gas station, you secure the cap tightly. When you leave the gas station… no talk about gas and process… in that regard you just drive. Don’t talk about what you need to do. Do it! Whose permission are you asking for anyway when you voice it? Do it. You know what you need to do. It’s ok to know what you are going to do. It’s also ok to keep it to yourself to fuel your actions instead. Why scoop yourself and leak it? Share it actionably. The only person making your footing slippery is looking right at this screen.

Opportunity Presents

Uranus SD (Stationed Direct) presents the opportunity to get out of your ‘Why’ and live the substance of your What. Why care about the Why anymore?! You have your reasons, though don’t get hung up anymore on things that already are. Say No. Say Yes. Ignore. Amplify. Whatever you do today, even small actions, will set a brick or stone or building blocks as a cornerstone. Cathedrals are built from just the consistency of setting stone after building block stone for a very very very intensely long time. Welcome to your very long time.

What Actionable

What actionable things will you do with all this future in front of you?… right now here in your present? And “very.” Let’s bring back very. It’s so very… it’s so very intensely very. Very sidesteps ostentatious for the win.

Full Moon in Cancer 1/17/22

17 Jan
Full Moon in Cancer 1/17/22

Click here to listen to this blog post as an audio podcast on Anchor

The full-moon-moment will arrive on January 17, 2022, at 23:48 UTC. In North American and U.S. time zones, that translates to: January 17, at 7:48 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time (AST), 6:48 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST), 5:48 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST), 4:48 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST), 3:48 a.m

Mt St Michel Night (c) photographer

With the Full Moon in Cancer at 4:48p MST / 6:48 EST / 23:48 UTC it is suggested to intuitively and without words steep in Your Inner Home. Respect that the Sun opposes the Moon at 4:48p MST so they have both come to the table with a clear view of one another. Also, respect the Silence of the Moon as it also goes Void of Course at 4:48p MST for approx 4 hours to emerge in Leo at 9:03 just after having come out of its Void of Course to go Direct again.

All in all, I suggest to dwell with your Full Moon potential in the brightness of your identity in things you can touch and feel with the Sun for those 4 Void of Course hours. Find something you love to simply keep in mind, internally and externally hold. A totem. A talisman. Then, as the Moon goes Direct, layer in the brightness of Leo identity qualities. As the Moon goes Direct, dial in and magically mix the Moon wave intuitive and deep knowings of your dreams together with the brightness of your Inner Home. Together, then flow them out into your external reality.

Simply live The Moon for the 4 VoC hours. This Full Moon is best to be prepared, and wonderfully pause in that 4-hour Psychic Synapse passage of the Moon’s VoC Silence. May this Silence place you not in holding or holding back. May this Silence be the focused and calmly intense power that is patience. May this Silence be a living meditation countdown to releasing your Moon Blessings into the world from that focused power within. Don’t be patient. Don’t count down. Just be. Find something quiet and enjoyable to do. Knotting. Drawing. Painting. Activities during the 4-hour Void of Course Moon without words would seem to be the most auspicious.

Since the Moon is Full at 4:48p MST at 27-degrees 51-minutes, look at your own Natal Chart for Astro bodies between 24 degrees and 29 degrees. How can you pour these Natal qualities into the Astro Prep of your magical mix?

vision, genius, poetry, madness, inspiring light from unseen sources. XVIII The Moon (c) 2008, 2011 Jordan Hoggard from ’Tarot in the Land of Mystereum’

How can you pour the above qualities and additional ones or fewer that resonate with you into the Astro Prep of your magical mix today? How can you further orchestrate your own momentum by pouring in your timing in respectful synchromesh of each piece’s most natural momentum today?

Big picture notion of all of the above?

Stay with the image today.

Stay with the image. You know what you want to see and feel.

Stay with the image today.

Stay with the image.

Your Mode of Being, Boundaries, and Being Yourself

22 Dec
Your Mode of Being, Boundaries, and Being Yourself

First, I do the coffee. Then, I do the things. ~ unknown

Love it! Mode of Being Formed at 3 1/2!

Love it! You reminded me of when I strolled into the kitchen when I was 3 1/2 in my diaper or shorts or whatever with no shirt. I politely asked my parents, “Do you want to go to Funland?” The response came back, “No, Jordan, not today, we’re making lunch.” “Ok.” And, out the door I went. They thought I was going to go play in the carport. Nope. I was not asking for permission. I was being polite, asking them if they wanted to go with me. So, down the drive and around the corner, and up a couple of blocks to the highway I went. Walked along the highway for a mile or so to arrive at FUNLAND!! WOO HOO! Funland. It was a local them park with bumper cars and cotton candy and ring toss and… THE FERRIS WHEEL. I LOVED the Ferris wheel. Tiny one, not a big one. It was big enough for me as I was 3 1/2. This is before cell phones, like 1971 or some such. My parents get a call… “Little Jordy is safe on the Ferris wheel, and we’ll keep him here, but where are you?”

Trees with strong roots smile in storms. ~ Malay Proverb

Exceptions to the Rules

🙂 Yes, you’re not supposed to scare your parents. But, no one said anything about terrifying them. So, scroll forward. OH BOY YES was I in trouble. It’s funny how you learn limits and some boundaries are set. Though, I did NOT like that much at all. In fact! The very next morning, same attire, I packed my Snoopy suitcase and ran away. I mean, what else could I do. They exiled my sovereignty. Common! I was 3 1/2 and I had a world to attend to! 😉

  • I give you a place of your own to clearly float fully supported in your mind activating your crown chakra. Chrysalis, fully afloat in supportive clarity.
  • Yoniverse, fresh, nurturing, carrying to full term to bring to life, Great Mother
  • Looking up from inside the obelisk, complete cycles, expansive, infinite
  • Shakin’Your Inner Booty scribes a new world, new life, place-making, enthusiasm

I Made It

I made it to the curb. Started crying. Sat down. The neighbor, a local newspaper editor came and sat next to me. “Well, Jordie, what’s the trouble? Why are you crying?” I remember the glare I shot her, and then I softened to, sobbing again, “Because I’m running away!” She smiled and softly said, “So, what’s the problem? Why so sad? That sounds like freedom.” Wiping off the tears I pursed my lips… “Yes! Not NOW! This morning they said I’m not allowed to cross the street by myself!”

How do YOU smile with your ears in storms to full-on hear the gift of BOOM n BLUSTER n ALL THAT you are being given by your internal world? What messages of your FORAYS in life do you tell yourself from what you did as a kid?

  • Receive and discern.
  • Then transform.

Thanks Much for Visiting Today.

My natural mode of being?… I can cross any street by myself now. 😉

Redux ~ Griefus Interruptus ~ To Discern Workability in Crisis Can Transcend Grief Formation, and Actually Gift You Excellent Stuffstance

21 Dec
Redux ~ Griefus Interruptus ~ To Discern Workability in Crisis Can Transcend Grief Formation, and Actually Gift You Excellent Stuffstance

First, I do the coffee. Then, I do the things. ~ unknown

When You Focus

When you focus on the ‘good’ or ’bad’ of your fellows, you make an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weakens and defeats you. ~ Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of Aikido

Don’t

Don’t waste trouble. ~Jordan Hoggard


I Made

I made a diamond out of my misfortune. ~ Alejandro Jodorowski’s Chariot

You Desire

You desire to know the art of living, my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of suffering. ~ Henri-Frédéric Amiel

Crystal Clear

Crystal clear, sharp and bright, the sacred sword allows no opening for evil to roost. ~ Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of Aikido

When In

When in trying times, how can you step back to be more present within? How can you see through the expectation blind spots of the good and the bad? How do you discern the workability in a situation, crisis, discussion, argument, predicament, and/or danger?

When you do that, when you discern the workability in the situation rather than the blamestorming crisis-mongering… how are you able to better dial into continual solutions and resolutions? And, first off, how can you breathe, and simply discern that you do not have to attend every argument or conflict you are invited to?

Does someone stir something up within you? Cool. Can you put the clutch in when you get triggered, and simply use that energy to listen more intently without a peep? Or, without even a reaction rippling your serenity? I don’t suggest to forget it of course. I do, though, in fact suggest to remember it fully. Honor it. Revere it even. And, after the conversation, where you did NOT react to the trigger… go forward with yourself and engage that trigger… and… listen to THAT with as much amplified awareness as you did the person who triggered you. Listen to your Inner Parts. They need voice. And, when they arrive, something, a trigger or other, gave them an open portal. That often means they are ready to engage… Can you NOT engage them directly? Can you simply listen and experience what they need to jump around and stomp all over about? Let them. They may have coupled up Psyche Cabin Fever. Give them berth. When their storm passes… they may have a message for you after… but, only after you listen in Empathic Silence I find.

Re-Run ~ Echo and Narcissus Compose the Phoenix

06 Dec

Blog By Comment Post Inspired by

Elizabeth Rose Psychic and Tarot. This post with the image of the painting with Echo and Narcissus + Liz’s mention of the Phoenix catalyzed me to forget the story for getting the gift of telling it differently. Visit her site for the Astrology, though don’t be surprised when you receive a larger takeaway than just that. I received a re-telling from myself of a story that brought it into a different light, and may soon apply to modern discussions of Narcissism… as Psychopaths are (most likely) born (and/or experience trauma from Day 1 as their only context?), though what about Sociopaths? Common work in the Psych community often indicates that Sociopaths are made rather than born. From what are they made? Typically, it is my understanding that Sociopaths are made by trauma over decades that goes unresolved, unreleased such that it that lives deep within and in miscellaneous places that often hide in plain sight. Personally, the tell that I notice — and this is anecdotal from multiple experiences rather than from scientific study or professional Psych community papers — the tell I notice is most often a combination of shaming behavior that couples with a more insidious trait. The latter is that when they ask you a question, and you answer from your perspective as we are want to do… as, well… you asked me a question. Then, in the latter tell, they launch into triggered tirades, of, yes, shaming behavior as if their question came from a professional Angler fish that baits people in with questions. The evolution of that, though, comes from an Empathic Silence I began to notice myself experience in this type of interaction. I would notice, and yes it was a bit manipulative and not truth in an air of truthfulness on my part, that if I answered something more from a place of their perspective, all was well. Well, all was not well, as then I was simply playing the marionettes counterpart of their projection, and in some cases actual Projective Identity.

What I came to is this. Rather than judgment, I chose discernment, and again, Empathic listening, carefully and thoughtfully watch the triggered behavior AS it began to unfold. How did it feel to me? Well, it felt like this. It felt that when forces and influences and responses came from outside of them, it was danger they experienced. It made sense. Their intense traumas mostly all came from external forces. People. Experiences. And, when I did what people do under interrogative circumstances, a different way of saying ‘when asked a question,’ and I responded wholeheartedly from my perspective, out came the psyche-knives with ground fire blazing. Vicious is a word, though I have to say. Don’t get me wrong. I found it not only empathic and compassionate to understand that they then operate from a place of pain. I found it simply considerate to respect that that is the case, and to do my part to get that even in their dosed up and potent nightshade belladonna venom and vitriol, they may be the person who needs to be heard the most. And as well, I am not Saint Jordan of Naïveté. Nor, am I a Psych professional. So, there is only so far that can go, unless they are willing to at least attempt to check the ordinance at the door in the understanding that I will view them as shooting blanks in regards to me.

Now, under those circumstances, I find it more compassionate all around when I discern and groc that this is that kind of scenario, to first respond to the question with a clarification question to at least quell the hair trigger sawed off shotgun that is unsnapped and with the safety off that leans in to point in my general direction. How it goes from there? Ask me again tomorrow. I simply offer the above from a laymen’s perspective from someone who has worked openly outside and within his own psyche with the hood open while active in the creative process. So, on to the article, Part 1 of 2. And, as it goes in theatre and fighting, the above warm-up is substantially shorter than the one-act performance below. Plus, There’s a link to Part 2 below… Comments welcome.

Trees with strong roots laugh at storms.

~ Malay Proverb
“Echo and Narcissus” by John William Waterhouse
Echo and Narcissus by John William Waterhouse

J: Excellent image for this post today. Echo hears herself, and that hearing comes from echoes outside in response to her voice from within. Chords are struck to resonate. She begins to connect. Narcissus sees himself, is hypnotized from within, magnetized and pulled inside to orbit only in that world where the external more and more falls away. He gets lost in there, chases false horizons in his unconscious isolation. She gets found. She finds herself connecting. Echo is the potential spark that lights his Phoenix to fire back up within and push his head out of his heart and resurrect out here, most likely with epic experiences from traumas he tilled that then unfold.

E: fantastic insight, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

J: You’re very welcome. Thank you for the resonance in your accolade. Much appreciated. I had not thought of it this way before, though the image and your mention of the Phoenix made a perfect catalyst to pair, where the painting began to re-tell the story for me from another perspective… mine now… and, in an informed, intuitive reading format… could be called Beginner’s Mind fueled by a bank of experience… which I could pen as simply expectations inspected and left at the door to evaporate blind spots and see and experience what actually is, right in front of us, for more robust clarity and connections. I received the gift to teach myself a new self-created version of the story of Echo and Narcissus today catalyzed by your post. It brought me to forget the story of Echo and Narcissus as I knew it. It brought me to forget in that way of forgetting is for getting… makes more room for the good stuff. Thank you. Thank me. Thanks much. This feels to apply to the larger sociological and psychological landscape of today. We talk about and hear much about Narcissus and Narcissists and trauma and sociopathy and Psychological Projection and Projective Identity. Though, how many of us do the work to find and develop our Inner Nature as did Echo To connect, with ourselves and others and Nature itself?

On My Birthday I Remember… ~ Reverence to Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks Who Passed Recently

04 Dec
On My Birthday I Remember… ~ Reverence to Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks Who Passed Recently
The Coming of the Faeries. John O’Bedlam ~ 1918 Norman Lyndsay

In Reverence

I bow in reverence to someone who I discovered literally for the sound of the voice in this poignant video, which was not his voice. I went searching for WHO IS the person who commands the instrument of THIS VOICE?!! I found the narrator, and I serendipitously found Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. So, today on my birthday 12/4 I am giving myself the gift of steeping in the sandbox of cherished historical friends Of which he is certainly one. Enjoy.

I then began to discover this was simply the tip of many places full of and teaming with life. Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks did not narrate this video, though I found his work searching for who did. Most normal people would have just clicked MORE at the bottom of the video for the answer. Honestly, that didn’t even cross my mind. The power of the voice and visual story inter-weaving gave me the gift of a head turn and a long look into the distance. So, I took a step.

This Is Not His Voice, Though Is How I Found Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

In the scheme of things, this was a voiceover artist gig as a narrator. I am so glad Les Visible yes to this. It is another of many portals to discover people who make the world a better place for being here, and now, as of last week, for having been here.

Thank You Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. The search to find the above voice led me to yours. The memories of my experience of you are Indelible blessings. I have cherished them, will cherish them, and will always cherish them. Thank you. Heartfelt thanks to You. The Dignity of Difference is a shining facet of your life that lives on. And, you split arrows consistently with quality such as these two… of many many:

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sachs. Thank You For Your Life.

In Reverence,

Playing With Your Sagittarius Energies

02 Dec
Playing With Your Sagittarius Energies

Sag is a Double-Sign

Sag is a double-sign meaning it is represented by two qualities. The Beast & The Divine. As we move into Sag Season into the Full Moon and Eclipse and Neptune going direct, beyond what things you can drop or release… What good things have you done over the past 18-19 years that have been karma-banked inside? How, over the next several weeks, can you begin to own the intensities of their beautiful beast lines and divinely share them in the world to your and the world’s benefit.

Epic spiral of giving and receiving? Yes. Be compassionate and take no shit? Even more so. In a way Sag is like a Justice card in the Tarot mixed with Temperance, The Hanged Man, and Strength. Sure, all the other cards as well as Sag is the last sign of the zodiac. It is inclusive of all the other signs.

As such, this month, especially in the lead-up to the 12/21 Saturn~Jupiter conjunction with Neptune Stationed Direct as of Monday 11/30, how can you use the 3 images below to guide your thinking and feeling to work with your Beast and your Divine together? There are also four Tarot images below that you may want to bring in as well. All the best to the Beast and Divine Of YOU Wholly Yours to express your Being in the world.

Intense Influence and Reflection Breed Powerful Experience to Nourish
  • I give you a place of your own to clearly float fully supported in your mind activating your crown chakra. Chrysalis, fully afloat in supportive clarity.
  • Yoniverse, fresh, nurturing, carrying to full term to bring to life, Great Mother
  • Shakin’Your Inner Booty scribes a new world, new life, place-making, enthusiasm
  • Looking up from inside the obelisk, complete cycles, expansive, infinite

When There Is Only Darkness ~ take a look at this to get your bearings… almost regardless. I’m not about empowering people. I am about helping people to navigate to discover their sources of power. Then, they do the empowering. Only you can plug yourself in. There may be a silver platter we all want to be given, but we have to bring the silver spoon and fill the plate. Enjoy choosing what you fill your precious metal plate with.

The Frayed Angels ~ excellent video poetry story

What Can You Enact When You Connect the Beast and the Divine Through The Hanged Man~Empress, activate them through your Ace of Wands initializing and emanation energies, and bring them into the World? If you were the Placemaker like the Ace of Wands, what would you do with the tools on today’s blog?

  • A Broken Heart
  • A Broken Heart Heals
  • A Broken Heart Heals Stronger
Kintsukuroi of Self, where we are more valuable for having been broken.
