“The question is always the same with a dragon: will he talk with you or will he eat you? If you can count on his doing the former, and not doing the latter, why then you’re a dragonlord.”
-Ursula LeGuin
As you know, eclipses bring the plot twists. And, as you also may know, I don’t enjoy talking politics on here either, yet with the sudden eruption of chaos in the Middle East and the House without a speaker, it does seem that this “ring of fire” eclipse (as they are calling it) has just flushed any semblance of possible peace down the dragon tail (Ketu).
The last Great American Eclipse in August of 2017 proved eventful for the Red King (it happened on his Mars/ASC)—especially if you consider the life cycle of eclipses. What will this one bring? I think we’ve been given a clear preview. In our own lives, I’m sure the preview is there as well.
For myself, all these vibrant Libra themes with Ketu/Mars at the moment are in my 2nd House. I have been in the gut-wrenching swirl of allowing all my possessions to be given away and flushed down the dragon’s tail as well. It feels like a part of me is being eaten, so I’m pretty certain I’m not a ‘dragonlord’ like Ursula is talking about in the opening quote. I do pray that by the end of it—once the catharsis is complete—there will be a lightness coupled with at least one dragon whisper to help me along to the next step.
It is my hope that as they circle overhead (and in our head) the dragons of this season are being kind to you. It’s also my prayer that a few of you become ‘dragonlords’ by the end of it.

Adam as always your words bring some form of semblance to the order we are perceiving as Chaos. For me I’m awaiting the David Ovason book on the eclipses to my door .. I’m not sure it will arrive in time or lesson the already building dread of steering down this latest dragon 🐉 but I’m noticing a very clear theme of learning how to make room for past issues to be rectified or released .. I’m not sure yet.. sending Love!
