Lilith in synastry - patterns

"Getting down and dirty: Astrology and love spells" from Asteria 2 offers readers useful information with respect to astrological implications in relationships and how those implications can enforce or hinder love spells. Black Moon Lilith, BML or Lilith in short, is ever so present among that information because its energies can and will subject people to great intensity if the synastry conditions are right. This happens regardless of whether some take them into account or otherwise, especially them holier-than-thou "experts" who don't believe even the energies of the (physical) planets affect life on Earth, let alone something as apparently meager as a fictional point.

While there are more than a few possible synastry combinations BML can be involved in, the hard ones being addressed in The Magick of Astrorelationships, there are undeniable patterns such synastry aspects generate both between and within two individuals who share them. These patterns can be noticed by an outside observer as well as someone who's experiencing them themselves. Both objective and subjective perspectives complement each other and reveal a clearer picture of the patterns.

Check on Earth

Anyone who's read "A Bacchic tale: Uncorking planetary spirits" by Mr. Farrell in Asteria 2 has come across a chapter entitled "checks on Earth". In that chapter the author discusses signs that point towards rituals working and lists several such signs for each of the seven classical planets.

A while ago I took it upon myself to clean up a certain area using occult means. I passionately hate that area and wholeheartedly despise everyone there for reasons that are beyond this article. I'll resume to say it's one of those areas parapsychology refers to as geopathogenic and one does not have to believe in such things to easily observe its horrible nature and that of its people compared to nearby areas.

Procrastination

In the article "A living hell: The eerie twelfth house" from Asteria 2 I discussed Mr. Farrell's axiom with respect to the first year of magical practice and how it is influenced by Saturn, with the second year being influenced by Jupiter. I then linked this with twelfth house themes and further elaborated more on those themes. I left out several themes out of the need to make the article more compact, one such theme being procrastination. 

Procrastination is defined as "the action of delaying or postponing something". A quick look into the psychology behind procrastination made me come across information that has a lot in common with what I wrote in this article, being complementary to the latter, and together forming a great part of a person's mechanism of self sabotage. The same mechanism makes an individual both distance themselves from others as well as procrastinate. Some people are more prone to manifest one of these aspects to greater extent although there are certain individuals who manifest both of them roughly with the same intensity, yours truly having been part of the latter category for many years.

Talisman - sixteenth lunar mansion

Again the heavens allow for making a money talisman with the help of the sixteenth lunar mansion, Azebene (Al Zubana). The spirit of the mansion is Azeruch (Azeruel). The image to be inscribed on the talisman is a man seated on a throne holding a scale.

The election is for NYC time although I think the time the Moon spends in this mansion makes the election available on all meridians. Just make sure the Moon is in between 12*51' and 25*42' Libra and rising (on ASC) or culminating (on MC).

Whenever you're looked at ultra deep field cosmic images, know you're seeing baby pictures of physical Adam Kadmon.

Appeasing Mother Nature

It's insane to think we as humans can subdue nature since it's shown time and again it can easily overwhelm us regardless of our technological progress. What we can do is to minimize whatever unpleasant surprises it throws our way. At the same time we need to understand that any such events we usually consider unpleasant are part of nature's self regulating patterns in response to increasing human activity and even more so, greater climatic cycles we have yet to comprehend (in detail).

If winter time can bring paralyzing storms and blizzards, summer is the playground for heat waves and drought that often cause wildfires. Lately I've been hearing of such devastating events happening all around, from the Greek islands to south-western France. In some cases such fires are a result of arson, in others of carelessness, while many more are natural occurrences. Whatever the case, it would be less likely for the fires to spread so fast and cause such damage if they encountered more resistance in the environment.

House colors

Did you know the twelve astrological houses were assigned colors? I didn't! And don't that the above picture for granted since I'm only using it because it's showing colored houses, but those are not the colors of the houses.

Part II, Chapter X of Liber Astronomiae mentions the colors assigned to the houses in the context of horary readings. Basically, if you're looking for something of a particular color then the house or houses assigned that color are the ones you should study when doing a horary reading to find that particular thing.

Issues with Lilith

Here's something I hadn't written in my late book Mundane Body Magick. It's not even mentioned in Asteria because the topic would've derailed if we wrote more than a couple of tightly packed paragraphs on the topic, but at the same time readers would've found that out of place without further explanation. It's about the Black Moon's effects by its placement in signs in natal charts and it covers more than a few possibilities of generating discomfort. 

The amount of that discomfort and its nature will vary, usually due to any aspects BML is involved in and their effects will be felt mostly in the areas of life covered by the house BML occupies. There are benefits to such placements too, but people should identify them by themselves because there's a heavy dose of subjectivity involved - i.e. BML in Aries can make someone have a certain look which some people might not like having...

Stop whining and start winning

During the eight or so years I've been involved in the occult I came across quite a few people who complained about not having what to work with... By this I mean they have an immediate need and the force they would normally appeal to weak, or the lunar phase is off in regards to their desire, or it's not the right day and hour, or... you get the picture.

I'm not going to start tagging every single time I've written about proficiency and taking advantage of auspicious times before you'd end up in a mess because that would mean I'd have to waste my time looking through many of the articles I've written this year alone. Instead, I'll say what I've said quite a few times on different occasions and in various online environments.

Intent

First of all, to those who say intent has nothing to do with magix:
After a short dialogue with Scott in the comments of one of his articles it came to me there's many people out there who need to know this. I'm not referring to Scott, of course, but to someone who commented onthat article. Therefore, this post is solely informative and is not meant as criticism.
