INCOMING CME: Big sunspot 1402 erupted
on Jan. 23rd, producing a strong M9-class
solar flare and a fast-moving
coronal mass ejection (CME).
Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab
say the CME should reach Earth
on 1/24 at 14:18 UT (+/- 7 hr)
and Mars a little more than a day later.
Strong geomagnetic storms are possible
when the cloud reaches Earth.
Our magnetic field is still reverberating
from a CME impact on January 22,
so another blow could spark major auroras
visible in northern Europe, Canada, Alaska,
and northern-tier US states.

And indeed there will be time
For the yellow smoke
that slides along the street
Rubbing its back against the window-panes;
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet
the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
before the taking of a toast and tea.
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michaelangelo.

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening
is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table:
Let us go,
through certain half deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights
in one night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you
to an overwhelming question…
Oh, do not ask, ‘What is it?’
Let us go and make our visit.

and literally…what I am doing right now
is thinking about your question,
thinking about raising awareness of astrology,
thinking that consciousness-raising
is what will save the world,
and thinking that we need
to keep inspiring each other
(I am inspired by everybody
who is thinking about this too.)

By William S. Burroughs
I think the political and social chaos
we’re seeing on every side
reflects and underlying biologic crisis.
The end of the human line.
All species are doomed from conception
like all individuals. Evolution did not
come to a reverent halt with homo sapiens.
We have the technology to recreate
flawed artifacts and to produce
improved and variegated models
designed for space conditions.
Perhaps there is still time;
is this being done or even considered?
Back to the church the home and the family.
Back to the simple American virtues
that made this country great,
and can make this country great again.
If I may be allowed a flight of whimsy
involving articulate Dinosaurs:
“Fellow reptiles I do not hesitate to tell you
we face grave problems.
I do not hesitate to tell you
that we have the answer.
Size is the answer!
Increased size! There are those who say
that size is not the answer, there are those
who even propose
that we pollute our reptilian strain
with mammalian amalgamations
and cross breeding.
And I say to you,
if the only way I could survive
was by mating with egg eating rats
then I would choose not to survive.
But we will survive. We will increase
both in size and in numbers
and we will continue to dominate this planet
as we have done
for 300 MILLION YEARS!
Bigger is better and biggest is best!”
Armored models thump their tails
in earth shaking applause.
Herbiverous dinos
wallow and splash in swamp bog.
Carnivores bare their huge fangs
dripping streamers of saliva in uproar.
But a wise old Dino turns sadly from the TV
and addresses his offspring:
“Son, it’s the end of the line.
We’re ugly, idiot, bellowing beasts.
Some of us sixty feet long
with brains the size of a walnut.
Where can this end?
In a natural history museum,
our bones gawked at by pimply adolescents?
“Say, I wonder how big his prick was?”
Back to the home and the family,
back to simple American virtues;
biologically speaking,
the only direction you CAN go is back.
It’s the law.
Dolphins lived on land at one time
we know that because
they have air breathing lungs.
Now that they have returned to the sea
it might be handy to reclaim their lost gills.
An evolutionary step that involves
biological alterations is irretrievable
We must now make such a step
if we are to survive at all.
…And it had better be good.
I have predicted the transition
from time into space
will involve biologic alterations.
Such alterations are already manifest.
Astronauts stand to lose
their bones and teeth in space.
If you don’t use it you lose it.
A skeleton has no function
in a weightless state.
So what does the end result look like?
Well…rather like an octopus or a jellyfish.
Beau Brummell, the restoration dandy,
spent hours every morning
putting exactly the right crease
into his cravats
by lowering his chin just so.
Often his valet would carry out armfuls
of crumpled dennies, all failures.
So we can imagine the cosmic butler
carrying out bundles
of unworkable monstrosities, our failures.

Feeling the effects of Sundays
Saturn shift to direct motion
in the sign Libra?
Perhaps tonight’s full Moon
total lunar eclipse will shine some
additional light on our Saturn reflections.
With Saturn’s direct motion,
it’s hurtling toward my Scorpio rising sign
and also my natal Saturn. I’m already
preparing for my SECOND Saturn return
in a few years, so right now,
I’m very serious about Saturn.
I’m also keeping an eye on celebrity
Saturn returns, for info and inspiration
on how to successfully navigate one of
the most significant and maturing
transits we experience in our lives.
For instance: Oprah Winfrey will experience
her second Saturn return in 2012,
and has begun to process those energies
by changing careers. I’ll be keeping an
eye on Oprah as a Saturn role model for sure.
Oprah, famous for saying “a person’s 50’s
are the new 40’s” is keeping mum
about her Saturn return, but I will be
keeping a jaundiced eye on the situation.
LeBron James, on the other hand,
is approaching his first Saturn return in 2014.
The first Saturn return, at age 29, is what
separates the men from the boys.
I’ll be keeping any eye on LeBron as well,
but wouldn’t be surprised if Saturn blocks
his quest for an NBA championship until
after he experiences this most maturing
of transits.
As for me, in keeping with the symbolism
of Saturn in Libra (relationships) in my
11th house (networks & friends), I closed
my Facebook and Myspace accounts.
Myspace because I didn’t use that service
anymore, and deleting the account seemed
the tidy thing to do.
I closed my Facebook account for two reasons.
First the news last week that Facebook
snuck face recognition software for identifying
the subjects in pics. That’s the privacy straw
that broke this camel’s back.
Secondly, I noticed that many of
my 100-odd friends (and you are ALL odd)
have many hundreds and (some) thousands
of friends, and I felt like
‘if a tree falls in the woods
and nobody hears it –
does it make a sound’?
So I invite and encourage
my blog reading friends to scroll
up toward the top of the page,
turn your eyes slightly to the right,
locate SUBSCRIBE icon, and click it
to receive notifications of new blog entries,
which I write with you in mind.
This is RevJ and I have approved this blog
FOR ALL SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC.
