I have relatives in Edmonton and Calgary...Erica Steele and Jason MacLeod. Those names mean anything to you?

Nope. Did Erica have a relative called Gordon, very old man who died about 30 years ago in Delta, BC? Only Steele I know of.Originally posted by Chuckie

Well thank God there's a non-terrifying explanation for it, Chuckie. While I was reading it I was getting completely creeped out. So relieved it turned out to be raccoons. They can be fierce though, particularly if they become used to people.Hi OG,
Welll, it started about two nights ago...I saw my cat snoozing on a rack of bath towels which I didn't want him doing so I placed more towels there so there wasn't any room for him...In the prior couple days I had been picking him up and off furniture and he generally wasn't happy about any of it. Anyway, I woke up two days ago and the towel rack and pretty much the entire bathroom was wrecked. I thought it was pretty weird and was thinking, "man, I really pissed off the cat this time...Pee on the floor, toilet paper ripped apart, etc. Downstairs pillows were thrown onto the floor and even more disarray. Now, I was thinking I REALLY pissed him off. That was the first night. Later I went into his 'room' and all his food was gone and his litter box looked like a herd of cats had passed through. Again, I'm thinking now that the cat has really lost his noggin. 2nd night same thing and now I'm starting to wonder if I had been sleepwalking or sumpin' (demonic activity). Did that a couple of times as a kid, one time I even woke up in my front yard (in my underwear)...Then, I hear a noise in one of the unused bedrooms (it used to be my daughter's) when my cat was downstairs with me and I start thinking...f*ck. A number of years ago, I had a family of possums living in another bedroom, it was a horrifying experience. So, yesterday morning, I'm up and looking around upstairs and there is freaking raccoon, lolling around on the towel rack...I trapped him in there and called in the ghostbusters. It's ridiculous how much it is going to cost me to ensure nothing like that ever happens again. I cater to my kitty cat so I leave the back door open during the day so he can come and go. I wasn't bargaining for wildlife to join the party, though my daughter has warned me about that in the past. As Alfred E. Neumann would say, "What me, worry!" So i just swiped it off. Not the end of the story, yet.
A ginger Afro with a bow...lol, now that's weird...
I sleep walked when I was young too, on occasion. Once, I found my shoes in the middle of the lawn in the rain. Another time, I woke up and found all of my sheets and blankets piled in a bundle on the far side of my bedroom, in the middle of the night. Yikes. And the weird s*** that happened to me nocturnally when I was young. Probably a familial curse. One of many, I imagine!
Hope you're doing okay, happy in your life, C. Times are tough, even if we're not directly affected!
The first thing that came to my mind when I read your report here-above was opossums. But yes, raccoons are just as bad. They wear a mask for a reason, you know?Hi OG,

lol, Jesus wind, you really know how to make me crazy...my stomach is still roiling from all that jazz...I thought it was dead it was so listless when I trapped it. According to the ghostbusters they said it was a youngun. My cat is worthless...he just walked around sniffing it before I closed the bathroom door. I swear, I was so discombobulated I questioned that I was really seeing it. Wild creatures 'scare the hell out of me'. What was odd was that the damn thing was using the cat's litterbox and man, did it have to go. I have had strange cats walk into my house, go upstairs and start eating my cat's food and he just sits there and watches them do it. I'm not sure fixing a young cat is that great of an idea.

I watched the contentious one last night Wind. I took a wild guess and calculated her time of birth to be between 1:30-3:30 p.m. cst. I won't say why, though...

A question for Chuckie, what are your thoughts on evolutionary astrology? I think it's one of the most sensible forms of astrology and sure makes a whole lotta sense. I don't think Steve uses it, but that other fella Kaypacha who's another cuckoo uses it in his work and others too. My astrologer relies on it, but also vedic astrology because she mentioned about the lunar nodes and how they are related to past karma, talents and karmic path. The name Dane Rudyar often pops up as the great grand old man of astrology. Also psychic astrologers like mine tend to use the Sabian symbols. So some astrologers are not just purely technical and intuitive, but also somewhat psychic too.
Heads or Tails
In astrological tradition, Rahu is the head of the dragon and the northern pole of the Moon’s nodal axis. Some Western interpretations have likened it to the Sun in that its inclination is to promote the conscious understanding of one’s vocation. At this node, both desire and destiny are magnetized through forward striving and movement. The heroic urge to be active and to battle the impulse to regress is constellated at this node. Like the head, which is the seat of consciousness and the container of the brain, the North Node is the rational pole and the one disposed toward Heaven. However, the mythic image shows us a severed head, disconnected from the body — symbolic of its disassociation from the Earth and incarnation. In its lower manifestation, it is the serpent brain, a head without a heart, or the unanchored intellect. It is the pole that takes in and devours; yet, being severed from the body, it is unable to digest or contain. Often, North Node experiences are illuminating and awakening but are unable to be integrated or held. The head, hungry for another taste, continues its search for illumination. The North Node is a point of intake, and any planet conjunct this point becomes ambitious for new experiences. When Rahu swallows the Sun, it passes quickly through his severed throat. There is an insight, a realization, a heroic impulse, but the enlightenment is hard to hold or sustain. Therefore, at the North Node, the realization and passion pass quickly, as it is almost impossible to prolong the participation with this heightened awareness. The dis-appointment is often followed by a return to the South Node. Ironically, it is at the South Node where sustenance and encouragement can be contained.
The house positions of the nodes will illustrate the environmental factors that help to shape and influence an individual’s destiny. The North Node’s house position directs us to consciously participate in that area of life where both the inner and outer worlds collude in an encounter with our destiny. It is a sphere of life that beckons and invites us into its experiences. Since the North Node is often the place where we may momentarily experience the transcendent and spiritual aspect of the self, its house position maps the place where these experiences might happen. The North Node does not have a cumulative effect; in other words, experiences at this place are not sequential, but more arbitrary, and may seem to happen out of the blue. The random nature of the North Node may have more to do with its subjective nature and entanglement with the paradoxical world of spirit. Hence, the house position of the North Node could suggest the setting where the encounter with the spiritual self occurs.
The South Node in the opposite house may describe a familiar place, an area of safety, and a comfort zone which supplies an anchor. However, it is also a place where we can become fixed, caught in the safety zone of our complacency. Therefore, it suggests an area we must leave in order to develop and explore our pathway. So, another metaphor we could use to define the nodal axis is that it is similar to a tram line: The North Node is the destination, the station where the tram is headed, while the South Node is like the departure point, the station where we embark. The nodal axis is like a track with its well-worn grooves near the South Node.
This southern pole of the axis is homeostatic; we instinctually return to stability at the South Node. It is the counterweight that prevents us from capsizing, the ballast on our life journey. Therefore, the nodal axis can feel like a game of snakes and ladders; once we have experienced the enlightenment of the North Node, we slide back to the familiarity of the South Node.
Ketu is the tail of the dragon, the southern pole of the axis which is likened to the Moon and the past. It points to the Earth where it feels connected. At this node, we experience instinctive knowledge developed from our understanding of what went before. The South Node is a point of release, and any planet conjunct this node seeks release in the service of the self. In its lower expression, it is overwhelmed by the past, since this is where we experience the pull of the Great Mother back into the womb. Yet, within this familial place are the souvenirs and endowments necessary to make our destiny a success. Like a tail, the South Node is an instinctual relic, often seen to be of little use but ironically brimming with wisdom. Having been severed from the body, the tail holds what has been digested from the past. Yet, for it to be of any use, its contents must be disgorged, or they ferment and become toxic. By nature, Ketu is a riddle, as its contents are potentially helpful or toxic; it is up to the individual to become aware of the subtleties. It takes a heroic act to dislodge the contents of the South Node and employ them in the service of the individuation process.
No wonder the hero emerging from the belly of the dragon is a common motif in mythological narratives. For example, a 5th-century Greek vase depicts Jason coming out of the dragon’s belly. Athena guards the heroic transformation. While this motif is never mentioned in the extant literature, the vase painting clearly portrays the mythic analogy of disgorging the heroic contents of the South Node."The Dragon’s Head contains the precious stone, which means that consciousness contains the symbolic image of the self, and just as the lapis unites the opposites so the self assimilates contents of consciousness and the unconscious. The interpretation fully accords with the traditional significance of the dragon’s head as a favorable omen." ~ C.G. JungDragons and dragon-slaying are cross-cultural motifs in comparative mythologies that are thematic to understanding the lunar nodes. Metaphorically, dragon symbolism ranges from positive to negative. On one hand, it can represent the invisible life force that devours time, or it can epitomize the essence of Nature herself, being the spirit and protector of the Earth. According to Jung, the dragon represented the mother complex or the Great Mother herself. As a totem of the mother complex, the dragon portrayed the urge to regress to an unidentified primordial state, which is often the pull experienced at the South Node.
In its negative manifestation, the dragon is the enemy of the hero. The hero, as the embodiment of the conscious ego, is attacked by the gigantic dragon, serpent, or monster. The dragon is the Earth and challenges the hero to remain spirited. Dragons are the guardians of both inner and outer treasures. The hero must fight the dragon to occupy the land; in a psychological sense, the individual faces the demons that guard the spiritual treasures and the soul mysteries. Therefore, dragons must be overcome to encounter the treasures of the inner kingdom. In killing the dragon, the individual becomes enmeshed in the conflict between light and dark. In a developmental way, the dragon battle is with our own destructive forces in order to gain self-mastery. Along the nodal axis, we confront the symbolic dragon. In the natal chart, we might imagine planets conjunct the nodal axis and at the bendings to be engaged in the dragon battle. As the nodes transit the horoscope, we are also invited to face the dragon heroically and encounter Rahu and Ketu as they swallow both our conscious and reflective light.
