Libra Sailor Moon

Here we go. Round two. Batter up. Bases loaded. Blood moon. Pink Moon. Egg moon. Fish Moon. Full moon. Libra moon. This Saturday, April 4th will bring us a total lunar eclipse at 5:00 AM EST with the full moon peaking at 5:05 AM EST. 

On Saturday, the Sun, close to a conjunction with the Goddess of Mayhem, Uranus (exact on Monday April 6th), will oppose the moon and both will square the Diva of Destruction, Pluto (almost exact). Libra seeks justice, balance, equality and fair portions for all, but with these forces in the mix the eclipse feels like anything but a road to a harmonious happy ending.

Today, 4/2/15, Team Luna Rossa (Red Moon) announces its withdrawal from the America’s Cup.

“Team Luna Rossa indeed considers illegitimate the procedure adopted and founded on an evident abuse of process by surreptitious use of procedures to modify the Protocol in order to overturn the Class Rule, which instead requires the unanimity of the teams entered.” - Luna Rossa Challenge

In other words, they are weary of the blatant cheating by the Americans. This echoes the allegation of cheating by the New England Patriots (the “Americans”) in the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts on January 18, 2015.

In a brilliant bit of sync, Sailing Anarchy uses Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown as a metaphor.

The major sponsor of Team Luna Rossa is Prada, the Italian luxury fashion brand.

The devil wears Prada, and like Neptune, carries a trident.

It seems to me that Libra would naturally be interested in allegations of cheating - desiring fair play and justice for all. See A Horse With No Name for some Libra, Pegasus, Freedom Tower syncs I was feeling back in October 2014.

As a dedicated observer of sync over the past decade, I have to say that this past week has personally been unusually interesting. Starting with the unconscious Priests of Attis reenactment of the Sangeum outlined in The Holy Week From Hell. I forgot to mention that after the ceremonial installation of the laurel tree at the Jefferson County dump, we had to “pass over” a scale in order to be weighed. This echoed the weighing of souls in Egyptian mythology, but was also acting out the Libra balance of justice. There are two scales, one incoming and one exiting, with Ma’at’s guard shack situated in the middle. As we pulled up on our side of the scale, another truck pulled up on the other. We were “in the balance”. For some reason she asked the other truck driver his name, he said “Zechariah”. I told myself “well there’s a name you don’t hear every day”.

And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation. -Matthew 23: 35-36

Ahhh… happy times. Sounds like judgement. We got off for $5, no cheating. It will be interesting to see what "earthquakes" will accompany the blood red moon.
