48th birthday ?

well

it finally happened

jupiter has made 4 trips around the sun

since the moment i plopped outta mommyz tummy

oooooooowwwwwwwwwwww

do i feel any different???

heck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i was like 20 or 25

i couldnt even conceive of what life might be like after 40

never mine a whole nother venus cycle past that

yeah it takes venus

traveling around the sun

in the most perfectly circular orbit

of all the planets

five of its 584 day cycles to carve a 5 pointed star

in the sky while returning to within a degree or so of where it was 8 years ago

cant tell me there's no intelligent design/divine design in that .....

anyway if you happen to look up towards the west just after sunset

these days you'll see venus & jupiter coming together

close to spica, the brightest star in virgo

as they all move toward setting

[ & me me me born with 5 planets in virgo

7 planets in the 8th house]

spica is the wheat or corn the virgin is holding in her hand

so we have venus the planet of love & harmony & art

getting inspiration with jupiter the planet of expansion/opportunity/

faith/philosophy[love of wisdom]

publishing & travel ..

& both sharing inspiration

with the symbol of the first fruit of the harvest

in the hand of the essence of purity & goodness

what the heck does all this have to do with me

& you

? ???

look out...

..now you may think this is just a fuzzy picture

but i was driving 55ish mph

into a torrential thunder/ lightning/ rainstorm

shooting thru the windshield timing to miss the winshield wiper

which was nearly useless against the water volume

notice the strange yellow/orange of the sky

15 minute/miles back it was blue

nebraska

30 seconds later i looked back at a double rainbow

forming

that ended up stretching from horizon

to horizon south to north

then the lightning kicked in

for the next 3 hours

'til the wyoming border rest area & sleep

that was the night of the full moon in aquarius

the waterbearer

ruler of electricity, radical change, friends /

community/ brilliance/ genius & weird ness

?

go figure...
