On the other side of reality
the cracked sacrament of unconsciousness
is peeling away.
Confetti of distractions
stealing time.
Scattered ideas,
thoughts and threads of conversations,
polarization,
resonance,
and nonsense.
Constant craziness,
this world.
Precious life on
our jewel of green and blue
planet Earth.
On the other side of reality
the cracked sacrament of unconsciousness
is peeling away.
Eclipse glimpses beyond
the fragmenting mirror
where eternity and finitely meet:
the anvil altar of change.
Karma swings the hammer again and again,
the hammer rings awaken us
from the hypnotic trance
or yet be snared
in the spinning wheel again and again.
The Eclipses:
May 26: Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse
June 10: Gemini Solar Eclipse
The Sandwich:
Mercury retrograde
May 29-June 22
Gemini Mercury squares
Pisces Neptune: May 22 & June 5
Unraveling.
Life is bound to be more confusing.
So much busyness.
Questioning and getting lost in the questions.
Creative explorations, unfocused meandering.
Need to be focused? Adjust your expectations.
Pace yourself. Connect with the natural world.
Invite intuition to be your ally.
Mercury Retrograde is often considered as an annoying period of time we bear through for 4x each year. Back up your computer, don’t sign important contracts, beware of miscommunication. It has become a cliche. “Is Mercury Retrograde?” is a refrain heard anytime logical systems go awry.
Logic is only one function of our minds. It is one that we depend on and surely it has an important place in our culture. What else is there aside from logic?
Illogical is defined as lacking sense or sound reasoning, displaying a lack of sensibleness or good judgment, far fetched or impractical or unlikely to be believed.
Alternatives to logic are sensing, intuiting, and imagining.
Perhaps this curious passage is an opportunity to refocus the lens of reality. Versatility and flexibility help shift gears.
Delusional thoughts, fear, foggy thinking, mental disorientation is a risk. Although seeking logic during these surreal times may be fraught. Sensitivity is heightened. It may be tempting to hide, indulge in escapist behavior or become numb to the assaults of the world. Better to stay awake and gain insight into the subtle and unconscious dynamics of life.
Saturn Square Uranus February 17 – June 14 – December 24, 2021
June 14, the second hit of the Saturn Uranus cycle joins Mercury Retro to flavor the Eclipse Sandwich. Ways of life we take for granted are destabilized. Stressful and confusing.

Between a Rock and a Lightning Bolt
“Uranus, the Awakener kick-starts new directions and sudden life changes, Saturn steps in measured time and tends to resist change. Is it possible to master the alchemy of risk and caution to express creativity and originality to implement enduring change? We will certainly face the baggage of the past and need to determine what is worth carrying forward. There is a strong emphasis now on our future goals and the impetus forward.”
Eclipse Sandwich Seeds of Inquiry
Where may I find an opening into the quiet within me?
What are the new connections and information coming into my life now?
What is unraveling and what is being revealed?
What needs conscious confrontation in my life?
How may I simplify as the input of stimulus intensifies?
The sun, the moon and the planets are your allies in seeking truth. They offer parameters, milestones and timing. They open doors – if you are willing to step through the threshold to deeper understanding and self-acceptance. I welcome your inquiry as we stand at the crossroads. I offer navigation in the mystery through astrology and tarot.
With Love,
Jacqueline
