There are two types of hunters..
The effective tribal hunter knows their
prowess exists without metal extension. This knowledge would do away
with the lot of problems we have in regard to gun violence. But it's
much easier to attempt to cover up the real problem with legislation
and restriction. Just like we cover up the true problems of
depression (that links to the same type of Mars problems as described
in the sporting hunter) with medication and quick fixes that only
mask symptoms instead of attempting to address their true underlying
cause. In America, we continually seek the path of least resistance
which many times equates to smoothing over rough edges leaving the
real problems unaddressed.
One who hunts for sport in an effort to
exude prowess and to over take its prey through force. The other
hunts for survival while maintaining respect and appreciation for the
prey that will subsequently be sacrificed in an effort to sustain
life. There is a huge difference within each of these mentalities.
The Sporting hunter is looking for his
missing connection to self (his true inner power) by exploring only
instinct and seeking to conquer. The Survivalist Hunter is mindful of
his own needs and sits well within his own power which gives him the
ability to honor the cycles of life as they weave together in
interconnection. He does not seek to conquer. He seeks to co-exist
and is an excellent steward of the Earth which he recognizes as a
gracious provider of his every need.
This morning begins under the Full
Hunter's Moon perfecting at 6:51 AM. It was named the Full Hunter's
Moon because it is the time of the year when tribal hunters would
enter the woods to hunt for meat which would sustain their village
through the harsh winter. At this time of year, the trees are less
full and the shining moon would illuminate much more ground in the
forest as compared to the full moon's of summer. Targets of the hunt
would also be at their most robust during this time of year as they
too have been preparing for the sparse resources in winter by
feasting on the end of summer's bounty.
Ritual would typically take place prior
to the hunting party ever leaving the village. Some of these rituals
were performed to ask the Gods to protect the warriors on their
journey while still imbibing them with a fruitful harvest. The
rituals may have appealed directly to certain animal totems Deer,
Bear, etc to honor them for the sustenance they would provide to the
village. Subsequently, after the hunt ends, the hunters would honor
the animal taken on the spot of the kill. Then, they would return to
the village where every bit of the animal was honored, celebrated and
used in an effort to maintain the dignity of the animal spirit's
sacrifice. This celebration was a humble undertaking of thankfulness
not a celebration of the ability to overcome a weaker and lesser
armed opponent.
As hard as it is to imagine in this
technologically advanced culture, there are still individuals in this
world who do hunt meat for survival. However, the instance of that is
truly rare. What is more permeating is the man who enters the woods
in search of restoring his emasculation. In that search, all honor
for the living thing that is going to be slaughtered is lost. The
sporting hunter will wail about needing guns for survival. They'll
scream as their extension of prowess is stripped away claiming,
“We'll not be able to feed our families without our guns!” When,
in reality, guns are a convenience of modern hunting that the tribal
warriors didn't have. The problem comes when hunters don't recognize
guns as a utility and instead, to be frank, use it like a detached
penis. They have no manhood. They have been emasculated. So, they
hold their detached manhood in their hands. The gun becomes their
masculinity instead of their utility.
The effective tribal hunter knows their
prowess exists without metal extension. This knowledge would do away
with the lot of problems we have in regard to gun violence. But it's
much easier to attempt to cover up the real problem with legislation
and restriction. Just like we cover up the true problems of
depression (that links to the same type of Mars problems as described
in the sporting hunter) with medication and quick fixes that only
mask symptoms instead of attempting to address their true underlying
cause. In America, we continually seek the path of least resistance
which many times equates to smoothing over rough edges leaving the
real problems unaddressed.
These tendencies are certainly a
misdirection of the US's natal Jupiter in Cancer. We've become the
BIG MOMMA codependency nation instead of drawing upon the wealth of
wisdom available to us in our emotional bodies and within the true
roots of our culture. I mean, we don't even adequately teach the true
roots of our culture to our children. Instead, we make up fairy tales
connected to our history that puts a doily over the fact that we
railroaded our way to where we are today...quite literally. Because
we deny this, we never give ourselves a chance to improve upon the
way we acted in our earliest beginnings as a nation. We remain doomed
to continually repeat it unconsciously over and over and over again.
After our Full Hunter's Moon perfects
this morning, Mars in Sagittarius meets Jupiter in Leo via trine.
This is a chance to employ (Mars) your truth (Sagittarius) while
engaging the wisdom (Jupiter) found within your true self (Leo). Find
your truth and walk it. Don't just talk it. Step out with it and
subsequently help to raise up the community (Uranus) of humanity
(Aries).
Know that walking your truth is going
to come under the blanket of some very strong yearnings and possible
temptations brought forth by Venus' square to Pluto. Venus/Pluto's
temptations can drag you down to the lower vibrations of all this
energy. Steer this energy instead toward revitalizing what you want
as if you were stripping down and restoring an old family heirloom.
Let the Devil go make his deals
somewhere else. You have the power he promises already inside you.
Don't let him persuade you to take the easy way out or to convince
you that you are powerless to tackle the challenges ahead of you
without him. Because, while he does deliver on his promises, they do
often come with horrible contingencies...like the sacrifice your very
soul. Look inward and rely upon your own power since that is the only
truth any of us really have any access to. And, realize that the
Devil that is whispering in your ear right now is really the shadow
side of your own self tempting you to follow instinct and allusions
of power instead of acting upon your own highest potential.
