Sagittarius is mutable fire sign. Maybe not the best fire, that’s usually Leo, but we are companionable. Recent eclipse action, Virgo/Pisces then Virgo/Virgo (opposite Saturn/Neptune)? That paved the way for some new deconstruction, reconstruction. That’s what this is about as Retrograde Mercury dips from fiery Sagittarius back into watery Scorpio, then forward again, culminating at almost the same time as the Sun crosses into Capricorn, the Winter Solstice.

Back in the bad, old days, I used a product as a gasket sealer, called — don’t know the name. It was yellow, branded with a Yamaha tube, nasty kind of glue that withstood engine heats. Used it on European motorcycles because it worked better than anything else. It was nasty stuff. Sickly yellow color. Probably no longer available, and possibly poisonous. But it worked, back then. Tear a motor down to pieces, then gradually reassemble it, and use that yellow Yamaha-brand gasket-sealer as part of the process.

We all need some possibly hazardous “gorilla snot” help glue this together — after Mercury goes direct and gets back to its starting point.

I’m not much of a biblical scholar. However, to a point, a sitting across from a retired military officer, I dryly pointed out that I carry both the King James Bible and a copy of the Koran as literary reference points.

Proverbial politics is just a quick passage from that King James Bible. A snapshot of behavior suggestions. Suggestions that lead to longer happier life.

When I reread the post, I was struck by an amazing similarity, analogous to another staple of the new age group: The Four Agreements.

Currently, I tend to favor an old army buddy’s suggestions, one, that Shakespeare is a safe, secular canon to quote, and two, Meditations from pagan stoic Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius is equally safe. One buddy claimed Marcus Aurelius was Christian.
