I do feel smarter and happier after reading all these words strung together by a thoughtful mind such as yours.

Jeeeze ...stay safe out there A.S.

I commented to my fellow student Melissa last night that I’ve become an Astrology nerd because of your lessons and teachings so you can’t go and drown on us now (lol)

I Love reading about Bitcoin even if the only understanding of it comes from you.. which is I guess what happens when your genuinely passionate about something, it starts to rub off.

Rude people are becoming the norm but I guess it makes us grateful for our friends and supporters.

Enjoy your tea and see you at school! Thank you for all you do :-)

If you stick around long enough you won't just be an astronerd, but a true Bitcoiner. Just ask Melissa! lol I'm so happy to hear it. See you in class soon....

I have an awesome Gemini mom, born four days before Orange (Julius) Man Bad, so I already loved you Gemmis (of all the signs, you’re the ones I’d think would be least offended by a playful nickname).

Having said that, Russell’s quit the lovely representation of your troop of monkeyminds, and much of that is due to his spiritual path that makes him so good with the paradox, the nuance and the heart.

Anyway, go ahead and write what you wanna write about and those of us who enjoy it will read it! I’m still probably both too stubbornly skeptical about bitcoin and too ignorant, so I appreciate your sharing about it. I hope you are right about it!

Re: Saturn into Pisces, I was acting like today, March 8th, was New Year’s Day because I have had this date metaphorical circled on my calendar since summer 2020, thinking Saturn leaving Aquarius could be the end of the CV19 chapter. I think it will be a confusing ending as the Fog of War is SO thick and one trick the media is playing to a fever pitch is the “ignore major stories” one. I expect that to continue full force until both Saturn and Neptune are out of Pisces and I wonder if it might just be a longer term feature of Pluto in Aquarius where, as we are going through this “Great Split,” denial of the reality of the other side will become more entrenched.

As for now, sadly too many structures based on rules about Covid-19 remain, including censorship on sites like Medium (something I’m facing on my blog over there, maybe gonna move here soon), requirements at universities for students to be up-to-date on their vaccination status, travel restrictions (as you mentioned), etc.

And the bastards have plans to broaden this all under the auspices of the unelected WHO. I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but Saturn in Pisces seems like a pretty likely era for any upcoming attempt at mass global overreach, so I think we need to take advantage of the Aries energies this spring and take some action to, at the very least raise awareness.

Last, and I don’t think I need to say this to Adam’s readers, but Saturn in Pisces seems connected with powerful non-violent protest movements, based on deeply held beliefs. What are those beliefs for you and are they under threat?

All good points Bryan. I share your cynicism about what this may mean for governmental overreach and more mass hysteria, yet it will also continue to force awaken many. The universe has a way of balancing things out. And yes, Russel is a good mascot for us Gemini's =)

From this sailor since childhood, grateful you made it across what reads like some pretty wild seas. Safe journeys home to your mystic teapot.

Thank you for the Peter Pan chat on your podcast (and this post). The weavings are wild and watery.

Last October I retreated on the island in Scotland where JM Barrie dreamed Peter Pan into being. They call the island ‘Neverland Found’ - its name in Gaelic means ‘Sea Island’. The host of our writing retreat’s childhood home was purchased from Barrie himself (so, she grew up in Kensington in the house where Peter Pan was written - she became an author). The island is pure magic - mushrooms, waterfalls, ancient forest and weedy coast across from a derelict castle - and it was a delight to play and explore and commune there the way Barrie and his friends, inspiration for the ‘lost boys’ might have.

Deeply Saturnian and Piscean water wonders in that wild part of western Scotland. Feels on the nose for this moment in time 🪐

Wild seas indeed. Thousands of shipwrecks at the bottom of these waters I hear. Pirate haven. But yes, made it safely...well, got to still fly into the winter storm in the UK now. And that's wild you have the connect to Barrie as well. Any juicy details on the more darker parts of the waters I shared in the pod? The real life of JM Barrie intrigues me.

Sadly no juicy deets were shared on the island re: what you shared on the pod. The story is that he and his adult friends were visiting and they were playing 'like boys' exploring the island etc.. The darker parts you shared in the podcast did eerily remind me that Michael Jackson named his ranch 'Neverland Ranch' and I'm pretty sure he held a children's congress there in the mid 90's (I was in 11th grade in 1995 - might have been then). Made me curious around his chart and Barrie's and if there were any crossovers...

I talked about MJ at the end. And I haven't looked at their synastry, but they've both got a strong case of Peter Pan Syndrome, that's for certain. That's for sharing bits from the island. I never knew

So sorry I missed the MJ reference in the pod - will re-listen soon! Loved the interpretation of Peter as psychopomp - was sense-making to me.

it's the lsat point I make in the PP section. In a way, it all leads to MJ =) No worries. You were probably doing something more interesting anyways

I was driving and it cut out right at the end! Hardly something more interesting - I was also thinking about the music (those were my teen years too) I was deep in the Enigma/Enya/Deep Forest crowd though I loved Nirvana too.
