"Belly Boarding the Lunar Waves" by Captain Chaos 1997 Capricorn Lunation

New Moon on Dec 30 97 @ 8 Capricorn 1' At this new moon, the Light's semisquare Jupiter & square Saturn. You've spent what you didn't have, the plastic is sagging & you've got a massive hit of the guilt's. I know, you were just itching to forward the action, wanted to believe that we were headed into a boom year. Not going to happen! Mars, Uranus, Venus & Neptune form a stellium in Aquarius/Capricorn. Restrained Capricornian social behaviour swept by spasms of romantic love & deviant sexual practices. Sounds interesting. Can't you just see all the corporate lemmings cruising around in their business suits, grasping their filofax's, Strained & Earnest. That's their names, not their demeanour. Then after a hit, snort or suck of the appropriate substance, heading off to the Hellfire Club or to canoodle in the flickering candlelight of a trendy restaurant. It ain't going to work, the romantic interlude that is, ‘cos Venus is retrograde. Much projection, especially by her, followed by the inevitable disappointment as he turns out to be only to too human. The white Porsche turns out to be a green VW; that's not so bad, it's his nasal hairs that really get up her nose. New Year resolutions?? About as substantial as last years. You're the King/Queen of false intentions. Seem so real at the time, don't they? Just going round & round in your intellect, run by fear of death & sex, looking good & making the right sounds. The sound of popcorn is deafening, or is that just your dyspepsia? First Quarter Moon on Jan 6 98 @ 15 Aries 3' "Let's go, let's go!" - as some heroic f***wit always bellows in ‘boy's own bull**** movies' from the land of the brave & the free. Action Man pumps up his plastic muscles & sallies forth (his female attachments name is Sally Fifth) to combat his neuroses. The worlds a dangerous place, full of potential terrorists & weirdo's. Someone really should do him a favour & wire both sides of his brain together. With the Moon conjunct Saturn, both quincunxed by Chiron & sextiled by Mars, there should be some exquisitely hurt feelings & severed body parts. Yes, folks, it's accident season again & the pseudo-rambo programmed young males will be burning rubber, diving into rocks & harassing sheep, anything to create the sense of motion, of personal importance, anything rather than face their own emptiness. No fear, no fear is the absurd notion, ejaculated into action, suggested by an older generation of robots, pretending to be human. It'd all be funny if there wasn't so much blood around & their feminine side wasn't so brutalised. Isn't it about time the "Let's pretend we're cannon fodder" game was abolished & something more intelligent invented. Oh! What's the use, I might as well go back to watching beer commercials. Full Moon on Jan 13 98 @ 22 Cancer 18' Retrograde Venus has snuggled right up to Neptune in Capricorn, both opposing the Moon & Mars is docking with Jupiter in Aquarius. The gender divide is widening & extreme sexist behaviour will be showing up in the light of this full moon. The arguments, the shouting, the blaming will almost drown out the siren's of the ambulances & police vehicles. You're meant to be on holiday & it's no Holy Day for anyone. She's still feeling bad from his inconsiderate behaviour of a week ago & wont say anything. Her body's still around but she's left town. He hasn't even really noticed. Perhaps they're just living separate lives, all alone in their heads. Any reconciliation is going to require real sensitivity & the willingness to listen. So biology & cultural phantasy drove you together. What are you going to do about your state now? The only way out is through your willingness to communicate openly & honestly, even if it feels so vulnerable you could die. [Moon sesquisquare Pluto] Please consider, just for a moment, that you could be stuck in old fashioned attitudes that are like your parents values speaking. They have to be killed off! No, not your parents, your memories & behaviours of yesteryear. If you do nothing, nothing will change. This whole cycle is designed to show up your parental/gender programming & make you so uncomfortable that you choose to make some changes in the way you function. Get some professional help if necessary. If there are ‘answers out there', they will be of no use to how you behave in there. You can stay predictably robotic or you can develop some selfhood. Aren't you just thrilled I've told you. Up yours, also! Last Quarter Moon on Jan 21 98 @ 0 Scorpio 33' Not a lot going on at this phase. Or should I say, nothing new is being added. I guess you've got enough to process from the experiences of the last two weeks. If you've been reflective enough to discover some of your belief limitations & realise that there's only mirrors out there, you may be ready to change some of your interpretations of ‘reality'. It never was anyone else's fault nor yours. Prizes for coming first was manipulation so that most of you were losers. Pyramidal propaganda that there was somewhere at the top of the heap where you could enjoy acknowledgement, support, encouragement & unconditional love. Really?? There's one born every second. Did your parents believe this nonsense too?? The penthouses of the slave ships are populated with monied exhausted neurotics promising themselves eternal life. Want a ticket? OK, I'll swap it for your soul. Done!
