Birthday Gift to Burners and Burning Man

Post by MySexyLexy » Tue May 01, 2007 9:15 am

In light of Burning Man 2007, I thought I would offer the people of this community as well as Black Rock itself a little birthday gift.

It's an astrology chart... I'm very much an amateur astrologer... I tried to get the correct year/dates for the original date of BM, forgive me if I'm incorrect.

Sun in Virgo. The image for Virgo is a young virgin girl (hehe). However, most people who know a Virgo will tell you there is a lack of innocence in this sign. It's not so much that the Virgin represents innocence, but new experiences. They are incredible meticulous and organized sorts, whom will analyze situations thoroughly before acting.

Music often follows a Virgo. That is because they are in search of perfection. Music is a timed perfection that they find very attractive.

Each planet is set in a house. Burning Man is in house 10. Tenth House: Career (as opposed to day-to-day work), public image (as opposed to your private image), the goals of your life. The 10th house begins with the Mid-Heaven, the highest point in the horoscope. Additionally, the 10th house rules the parent of "greater influence", usually the mother. This house corresponds to the 10th sign, Capricorn, sign of ambition and organizing skills
-------------------------------------------

Moon in Gemini. The moon is the emotional nature and soul of Burning Man. When the moon is found in Gemini (that's where my moon is, yay!) you see someone who loves communication in all forms, people, trickery, and deep mental thought. There is a restless feeling about it, it's always doing several things at once...

This one is always open to new experiences. It needs and thrives off sharing these experiences and it's thought with others.

Moon is in the eighth house, which is Sex, death, rebirth (in the sense of regeneration). The 8th house rules other people’s money, possessions, and values, your ability to utilize the possessions of others for your own ends. By extension, it rules insurance and tax matters, as well as the influence that the values of others have on you (social values). It can also indicate what influence, if any, you can have on the values of those around you, including the society you live in. As far as sex goes, the 5th house may rule romance, but the 8th house gets down to the sex act itself, your style of sex, your tastes, what turns you on. This includes any fetish you may have. This house is the house of Scorpio.

-----------------------------------------

Mercury in Leo. Mercury is about communication. When it's in Leo, you're going to see where Burning Man gets it's loud roaring voice going. It wants to show off! It's glamorous, and feisty... and self-promoting.

This is a fire sign influence, so, the communicative abilities of Mercury are going to activate both the air moon (because fire stimulates air and vice versa) as well as the mind of the sun, for Virgo is ruled by the air planet Mercury.

So, now you can understand how and why individual promotion of the event went so far, from an astrological standpoint. Each time someon tells another about Burning Man, it's activating the power of it!!!!


WHOO HOOO!!!!! *dances around*

Hope to see everyone around in Black Rock this year!

Peace,

Thanks for the present.
I read that the word "disaster" comes from Babylonian astrology.
"Dis" was the word for bad (like Dis-respect)
"Aster" was the word for star (like Astr-ology)
So "disaster" means "bad star".
