If Your Birthday is Oct. 14
(The Day of Moderation) | Get Your Libra Birthday Reading
If there is something you’ve been bursting to tell someone, or perhaps something you’d simply feel more comfortable having out in the open, this is a good window for speaking up. Remember the lesson of Mars retrograde earlier this year: that honesty about your feelings really is the best policy.

Written in the Planets
The Full Moon we’re approaching will probably shed some light (quite literally) on the questions of identity and technology that have been at issue during this era of Uranus-Eris. There could be epiphanies of various kinds, both individual and collective. Today’s astrology is suggesting you pay attention to where you feel a certain visceral discomfort, perhaps cognitive dissonance. This might just supply a key to the puzzle.

    “a politician is an arse upon
    which everyone has sat except a man”
    —e. e. cummings

    😉

    I’m slightly amazed at myself, that I have never put cummings’ birthday on my calendar to celebrate each year. I ought to. He has long been my favorite poet — though the quote above I’ve added here for fun, not as an example of his brilliance. I also found this apt quote about him while searching for a little something to add in this comment:

    “Cummings’ lifelong belief,” Bernard Dekle stated in Profiles of Modern American Authors, “was a simple faith in the miracle of man’s individuality. Much of his literary effort was directed against what he considered the principal enemies of this individuality—mass thought, group conformity, and commercialism.” For this reason, Cummings satirized what he called “mostpeople,” that is, the herd mentality found in modern society.

    “At heart,” Logan explained, “the quarrels of Cummings are a resistance to the small minds of every kind, political, scientific, philosophical, and literary, who insist on limiting the real and the true to what they think they know or can respond to. As a preventive to this kind of limitation, Cummings is directly opposed to letting us rest in what we believe we know; and this is the key to the rhetorical function of his famous language.”

    From here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poets/detail/e-e-cummings

    If cummings was railing against “mass thought, group conformity, and commercialism” of “mostpeople” in the 1920s, can you even imagine what he might think of this internet age we are living in?

    And now, I’ll paste one of my favorite poems of his to shout joyfully outdoors, in celebration:

    i thank You God for most this amazing
    day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
    and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
    which is natural which is infinite which is yes

    (i who have died am alive again today,
    and this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth
    day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
    great happening illimitably earth)

    how should tasting touching hearing seeing
    breathing any—lifted from the no
    of all nothing—human merely being
    doubt unimaginable You?

    (now the ears of my ears awake and
    now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
