October 15, 2020 : Luna enters Libra - expect some war and some peace today
welcome to episode 24 of the third season of kristo's astrology...
here's my reading of the Zeitgeist for Thursday, October 15th, 2020
**all times reported here are in UTC-0 (Universal Coordinated Time) or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)... please adjust according to your own Time Zone... if you're not sure about the time zone difference, you can find that here: Time Zone Map
just a reminder: don't sweat it if the numbers or hours are confusing... I'm with you on that...
calculating the times for these transits requires simple arithmetic, which is something I have absolutely no intuition for…
as a matter of fact, I had a professor once who said that if you can’t calculate numbers in your head, how can you do calculus…?
to which I say… um, I’m delighted not to have to…
anyway… just know that each of the planetary influences wax and wane over hours, days, and sometimes months or years...!
let your Intuition own the changes, and so whenever you observe a synchronicity, that jibes with what you’ve heard from me…
perfect…! because it shows that YOU and YOUR Intuition are on the money...
’nuff said…
okay:
Luna quietly enters Libra @6:54 AM UTC-0 / GMT
there's no way for me to give you my experience of this particular moment of the Zeitgeist...
you're going to have your own, of course...
all I can say is that this reminds me of walking into my favorite space in the Art Institute of Chicago: Gallery 109, otherwise known as the Ando Gallery —
designed by Tadao Ando...
it opened in 1992, and I became a regular visitor...
I'd love to do an episode of kristo.art about that space...
actually, I'd just love to spend some more time there...
this moment of the Zeitgeist should provide a taste of the experience without having to travel there...
Virgo Venus exactly BiQuintiles Aries Mars (in his Sextile to the Gemini Dragon's Head, Opposition to Libra Sol, and Squares to Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn) @8:12 AM
expect to have some tough creative project you've been wrestling with yield to your efforts...
everything finally clicks perfectly into place...
expect some serious satisfaction, and not just a little pleasure...
Libra Sol (in his Trine to the Dragon's Head) exactly Squares Pluto (in his Quincunx to the Dragon's Head) @11:11 AM
uh oh...!
yikes, today was the first day I learned the name of that exquisite, space at the Art Institute...
whether or not it was posted outside the doors to it, I may never know — I just entered and immediately felt at home...
in researching the name of the space to find some images of it, I came across an article written in 2010 saying that they had recently renovated the space and removed the doors — effectively destroying the tranquility that could be reliably found there...
I'm really bummed by this...
of course, it was probably done for the sake of some practical aim...
except that art isn't meant to be practical...
here's hoping art wins today's battle with practicality, because that's what this moment of the Zeitgeist is...
a real fucking battle...
damn...!
Luna BiQuintiles Taurean Uranus (in his Opposition to Scorpio Mercury) @12:12 PM
well, however that battle goes, we all still have an opportunity to find the zen-like peace that's always available...
wherever we are — and whenever we choose...
especially in this astrologic moment...
even in the midst of outer chaos...
Luna Opposes Aries Chiron (in his BiQuintile to Mercury) @5:08 PM
this is a good time for a little meditation...
it's just what the doctor ordered...
Luna reaches a Quincunx to Uranus @9:39 PM
okay...
profanity isn't always appropriate...
mea culpa...
Sol exactly Trines the Dragon's Head (in its Quincunx to Capricorn Saturn) @9:34 PM
aha...!
it's time to start some new creative project: something that really gets your juices flowing...
just keep practicality out of it...
okay...?
and here’s another fairytale flash:
Episode 6 of the Hansel and Gretel Code is now out there in the wild, and I'm hard at work on episodes 7 and 8...
I hope you’ll take a listen and subscribe…
.....

this podcast is gonna take you on a rollercoaster of psychological depths and heights — not to mention informative twists and turns — all of them designed to entertain the hell out of you…
you can find out all about it on the website betweenthelines.xyz, or on whatever podcast app that floats your boat…
and please take a listen to my art podcast, kristo.art it’s my take on art and art appreciation that aims to take the snoot and attitude out of museum and gallery going — and let you own the damn place...
.....
okay, well, that's it for today... thanks for listening... have a great day, and I'll see you tomorrow...
Alrighty then... ciao a tutti...
