Inebriation from air,
I concur.
Meeting us, each other, together,
on another day.
I am flattered.

The air is dense-
thick, but consistent.
Is it just me?
Or did I see it in the sky-
The only blue around,
Residing in your eyes-
Placed so delicately upon the iris,
Despite the vain of overcast.

Now, visibility vanquished,
There is a sea of fog to see-
Bliss and mist.
Fate. Sedation-
We meet again.
Welcome to the palette of torture-
Please, the pleasure of meeting,
It all belongs to you.

Expect nothing,
But heed this warning;
Even the slightest grin is just enough
To amount adequate energy to glisten sight.

Dear this brisk May afternoon,
The blue eyes of sky shining down, clouds in the path of connecting ground and high, i wish for the cool of evening. This sensuous request, if i please the month of May, just one if i may have it. I hope that you will see why before I leave in one week. Please, departure does not mean forgotten.


Happy May Day,
~Billly

Posting out of order

I posted some journal entries and such, but they are dated before the introduction of this blog. This requires a look back, if you are interested. Use the navigation archive on the right side of the window to go to the week of April 20-27, or simply scroll all the way to the bottom of this page, although the new posts will only remain there for a few days.

Jovian Chiron

Jovian is of or pertaining to the planet of Jupiter, or characteristics associated with such. Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius, my astrological sun sign. Residing in the tenth house, my relentless optimism and burgeoning honesty are most strongly conveyed in the matters of community and influence. Also, my ruling sign of Jupiter is the twins, Gemini. Tending to myself finds that my personal growth and sense of self rest in the hands of teaching. Through that medium, writing, communicating, and learning with others impales my thirst for personal growth. Of course, I have been known to be wordy and impatient with things such as this, which just so happen to be unskillful qualities of Gemini on Jupiter.

Staying true to my character, Chiron comes forth. Chiron was a philosopher, hunter, and healer of ancient Greek. Oddly enough, despite the ill manners of his brethren, this particular centaur had a profound impact on Achilles, Asclepius, Hercules, and Patroclus as their teacher. I make many personal connections with this idea of Chiron(which may be discussed at a later date, but not here), but there is another strand that stands out; The planetoid of Chiron.

Associated as independent with personal questioning, integration of mind and body, and linking the known and unknown, is Chiron--the 'wounded healer' of our time. Placed in the sky as Sagittarius(this is debatable, as the constellation of Centaurus is also sometimes associated with Chiron), his arrow is aimed toward the galactic center of the universe. My sign of Chiron is Cancer, leaving me to teach and express myself through nurturing, and taking on other's suffering and agony. Worthy skills associated with this conjunction are the need to express in a gentle, nurturing, and emotional manner, but when one gets turned awkwardly, erupting tendencies are to become defensive and withdrawn.

I have been this interpretation as much as it has become me. I look to Astrology because it makes sense to me; the associations with some mythical and civilized figures might be useless(they are only examples and figurines for the forces and characteristics behind them. again, they are merely mental representations that sum up what we need them for), but there is no doubt in my mind that celestial bodies play crucial roles in the development of all life. It is nonsensical to me to think that the only force exerted on us by these celestial bodies are radiation and gravity. Where you are born, the season, time of day, the moon cycle, and a plethora of other factors do play a role in determining who we are and what we will become. Of course, i could not rule out socialization and genetics either.

I would not be saying all of this if i did not find it strangely and immensely accurate. Of course, everything is subject to interpretation, so take this in as you must. This is why i am Jovian Chiron.
