Capricorn New Moon
山羊座新月
It's been a week. Still here, hanging with Death. She's having a cuppa tea with me and I'm grokking the insights following a very heavy Cappy New Moon. Conjunct Mars and Mercury, no less. FFS someone please pay the gravity bill!
Anyway, so far it's been actually really enlightening. In the wake of Velvet's death I've done a lot of soul searching.
Been remembering A LOT. Nostalgia tripping pretty hard. And no, not for 2016 like the Gen Zed kids are doing, but for 96-99. A lot is being resolved from that time. Justice is the sister of Faith, after all.
Maybe Velvet's death is getting me to talk about it. A lot of people aren't very savvy about death. Nor do they have the stomach for it, but we're ALL fascinated by it ain't we? True Crime is the number one podcast theme FFS!
And here I am, a performer of MURDER BALLADS. I can't help but find this slightly ironic. Perhaps a murder ballad is what needs to be done for Velvet.
If we're gonna get dark, then let's have it out. The Devil is in the Details. Humanity is a dark species! Why is Femicide a prevailing crime among our species?? Do dolphins or chimps (our nearest evolutionary psychotic cousins) kill females so indiscriminately? Is it still a hangover from the Eve story in that fateful “Garden of Eden”? I'd really like to get some insight. If you have any ideas or want to contribute to the conversation, shoot me a line. The rage is still very close to the surface. Anything to help me stay logical and reasonable is probably and good thing. Though, the Harpies do fly close to the window…
In the meantime, my teabag is the kind that gives philosophical affirmations. Right now it's saying “It is the light in the lantern which shows you the path, not the lantern.”
