I was never a fan because I wasn't a 12 year old girl or a gay man, but recently I have come to Jesus and joined the club. Her documentary "I Am Celine" cut me into pieces. I stood up in my den to salute her. She is a gem. It was as if I had never seen a diamond until a beam of light stabbed my eyeball off a ten carat behemoth. There she was, stiff and screaming in pain. And then there she was, at the Olympics, dripping in white beads, in her power. That voice came from the center of the Void.
Looking forward to settling down with the new episode - my natal Saturn is in Pisces, and it's been very medicinal. I wish I could italicise that. I just got diagnosed with a neurological disorder myself, in my case fibromyalgia - possibly as a secondary complicated for lifelong migraines and at least a decade of undiagnosed spinal stenosis. So it was interesting to hear you connect Stiff Person Syndrome with Saturn, because everyone connects neurological disease to Mercury, because neurons, or Aries, because head, which is a gross oversimplification. In the case of fibro the central nervous system loses its protective sheath (Saturn) and goes on to primarily affect the fascia (also Saturn). One might argue that since fibro is a secondary condition, the initial cause of which is often trauma, injury or serious illness that one should also look at Mars. That's me rambling about myself, but really I wanted to say - thanks for looking deeply at the actual condition and its effects on her life instead of rattling off an easy answer.
May you feel better soon hiragi. My brother has fibromyalgia— so I know it’s a complicated condition. But he’s had some relief with various meds. Sending you good vibes.
How much have you written about Thelemic correspondence? What is your take on Progressed Venus from natal Scorpio [7 of Cups] to Aquarius [5 of Swords] with Progressed Mercury (natal Scorpio) [6 of Swords]?
Thank you so much for all the insights and commentary. So much illumination. I especially loved hearing Celine Dion's video; how interesting to see the effects of Transiting Saturn right atop her Mercury/Venus conj at 18 Pisces! Saturn also imparts grit and determination born out of restrictions and limits...she is right where she needs to be with Uranus transiting opposite her natal Neptune. Amazing, moving performance!
Yes, I'm experiencing that same transit on Mars in my natal chart, and it is fascinating to track where the 'push' and 'discipline' is coming from; it's non-linear and liminal. So a lot occurs while I'm asleep! But on someone's Mercury/Venus, it would show up as how what is most important to someone (Venus) and how that is uppermost in their mind (Mercury) is rekindled or refashioned by determination, as you note.
I’m loving the Rage of Aquarius. I’m looking forward to you guys chatting it up with Nick. I follow the human ephemeris on Facebook.
Thank you Craig! We needed an v2.0 to get all of Nick channeled and we’ll have him back on next year.
Thank you for the Celine video! Yes, the tears, the tightness of throat, the ache of the heart. Scrumptious!
She’s such a symbol of everything fabulous about the fire signs (the Leo ascendant takes her into another dimension).

Very little, in fact I’m only familiar with Thelemic doctrines via Crowley’s Tarot, the only deck I use with clients.
I do not work with progressed charts, so I cant comment on your Venus query.

Just now discovered that I've been set on the shelf next to Crowley! This is swoon-worthy, indeed.
Are you feeling dizzy? 😂
