The Eclipse, The Mars/Pluto Opposition and Aspects to the House of Bob

February 20th, 2008 by TiamatsVision

The question was asked, “Is there anything going on astrologically that can explain why people have been so bitchy lately? They seem to be acting crazier than usual. What the hell is going on?” My general answer to this question would be that there are some people who are bitchy every day of their lives. And that there are some people who are just completely freakin’ nuts.

Astrologically, there are some intense things going on. We had a solar eclipse two weeks ago and we’ve got a lunar eclipse today. According to the blog Astrological Musings, “Lunar eclipses occur at the Full Moon when the Moon and the Sun are in opposition, and when the lunation conjuncts the lunar nodes. Because the lunar nodes signify the evolutionary journey of the soul, the astrological symbolism of an eclipse is very significant. These are times of reckoning; of course correction.” (An eclipse of a planet signifies an eclipse of the energy it symbolizes.)

As for the Mars/Pluto opposition AM says this: “Mars is preparing for its third and final opposition to Pluto where it tends to foment rage and inspire explosions, and one might think the opposition has already happened. School shootings, mall shootings, shootings in the city council - people are clearly under stress. Although the opposition will not be exact until the new moon on March 7, we are clearly in its shadow now.”

As for aspects to the House of Bob: The 12th house is generally considered the House of Slack. The House of Chaos is the 13th. According to astrobobical expert Kaos829: “the 13th house is the house of the unknown. Spirit beyond our ken. The cumulative effect of the process of life delineated in the chart”. For all those who were wondering, I hope this clears things up. Just remember if things start to get intense, be sure and give people some slack.

Discordian Society Acquires Limbo from Catholic Church

April 23rd, 2007 by Brenden Simpson

Follow up to a previous post for those of you who have friends still in limbo. The Discordian Society has stepped up to take over operations.

In a surprise move today, the Discordian Society, a small neo-religious group which worships the Ancient Greek Deity of Chaos called “Eris” (and known to the Ancient Romans as “Discordia”), have announced that they have acquired the non-corporeal realm known as “Limbo”.

Limbo, the theological concept previous belonging to the Christian Catholic Church, was abandoned by the Church last Friday.

Although the Discordian Society is anarchic in structure, a self-proclaimed spokesperson for the movement who identified himself only as “His Wholiness the Rev.DrJon” made the following statement:

“The Discordian Society, in line with previous acquisitions, welcomes the arrival of Limbo into the fold. We look forward to giving the place a clean sweep, a good polish and a nice redecoration. We’d like to thank fellow Pope* Benedict XVI for making this opportunity possible. We’d also like to offer the hand of friendship to those tenants of Limbo who chose to stay. We assure all who do wish to stay that they are welcome to continue to reside in the manner to which they are accustomed, however we will also be undertaking a rolling series of improvements over the coming eons, which should see a marked increase in liveability benchmarks.”

There is no word yet as to what purposes, if any, the Discordian Society plan to put Limbo to, however opinion is divided amongst the Discordian faithful.

(* Discordians believe that every man, woman and child is a Pope.)
