Team Meeting/Initiation: August 26, 2009
August 26, 2009
Today’s Wednesday. We have a game tomorrow at our home field, first one of the season that counts!
Last night me and Kan longboarded for awhile with Mariah and Rick’s longboards, and then hung out with some of the guys, and the night before was basically the same, Dustin taught us how to longboard and he is really nice/cool. And Sunday night we hung out with Max and Drake again, they are so nice. And I always try to wink at Max but I can’t without smiling, it’s so hard.
Ok right now everyone’s watching He’s Just Not That Into You, and Kan’s painting her nails right behind me, I’m at the desk in my room. My dad called and it was a really short and kind of awkward conversation, but oh well. And I have to call Camila because she called when I was talking to my dad. Ah I never have time to read and write.
Oh shit I totally forgot something very important. Last night at nine* we had a team meeting at our home field and we walked out to the field between lines of candles, and sat at tables with drinks and long candles on them that said SPU ‘09, and we each stood and talked about our goals, and I was so scared because I didn’t know what to say at first, but then I figured it out and I didn’t mess up so it was good. And we got gift bags with candy and a shoelace to put in our right shoe to symbolize unity, and a black bracelet that says Repeat History and BELIEVE. And it was very emotional and meaningful and inspirational. So that was cool. But I’m going to go, I have to call Camila and wash my face.
[*Charts and notes follow.]
[I think the most interesting thing about this chart is that the AC at 4° Aries opposes Mercury in Libra, and that axis is tightly squared by the Mars-Pluto opposition which is exact by degree. The MC is conjunct Pluto, and the AC ruler is that Mars in Cancer, and Mercury and Mars are square to the exact minute. So that’s intense! That’s not a particularly happy aspect configuration, and it feels like another omen. Also, profection lord Sun sextiles/trines the Mars-Pluto opposition from Virgo, and is inconjunct/semi-sextile the AC-Mercury opposition.
Other notable aspects include a Venus-SN conjunction in Cancer, tightly sextile Mercury and inconjunct Pluto, and more widely trine the AC. It’s also semi-sextile the Sun and trine Uranus retrograde in Pisces. The Scorpio Moon applies to square the Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune action in Aquarius. What are your thoughts on the grand cross here? What does the astrological symbolism say about the energy?]
[The Venus-SN conjunction is on Ana’s SN (and more widely on her Chiron), and the NN is on Ana’s Saturn-NN (and more widely her Sun). I wonder if Venus there has to do with Kan…Also, the Mars-Pluto opposition, Mercury, and the Sun, are all directly hitting Ana’s natal Mercury, as Pluto conjoins it, Mars opposes it, Mercury squares it, and the Sun trines it. The Scorpio Moon is conjunct Ana’s natal Pluto, and squares her AC-DC axis by degree. Saturn is only a couple degrees away from trining/sextiling her Sun-Chiron opposition. The fact that this moment is lighting up Ana’s Mercury feels very notable, especially as the AC and MC of the chart of the moment are square and conjunct it, respectively, as well. I think this is very much an omen, but you’ll have to wait and see. What would you predict is in store for Ana, looking at the transits here?]
