Craft Your Vessel of Self-Authority & Dedication Through Saturn & Trickster — the Creative Evolutionary Genius Within

Whatever we do for ourselves, grants us the spiritual muscle tone to participate in doing that for the world.
— Caroline Casey

Enter the world of Saturn to reclaim the intelligence of self-authority, dedication, leadership, boundaries, and the part of our inner power we easily hand over to others due to collective and ancestral conditioning and rules for living that we’ve inherited.

Caroline will share how sourcing the intelligence of Saturn by connecting with its essence strengthens your inner authority and takes the power out of external authoritarian forces that feed off of you to fuel their own power-over dynamics.

Saturn engages with the Trickster to discombobulate the status quo, reveal deeper truths, and catalyze self-sovereignty. Through Saturn, Yoruba wisdom, and contemplation of the natural world discover what it means to awaken “self-possessed” — feeling safe in your skin and possessing a glowing repertoire of responses versus reactions.

Delve into the astrological configurations and insights that are coming into play with Saturn, including the influence of the Dark Moon and a partnership between Saturn and Neptune — a period of what is called in Arabic the “alam al-mithral,” the world where images are real and dream divination and dedicated visualization practices in the liminal states are most effective.

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore boundary-setting practices for sourcing from the inside, developing greater autonomy, and dispelling nonuseful dread
• Learn how words can be used as protective amulets
• Break the spell of conditioning, banish power vampires, and ignite greater self-authority when you need it by connecting with Saturn from the inside (“Goat retrieval,” as Caroline calls it, because the goat is the symbol for Saturn)
• Learn how to be an agent of cool response in hot reactive circumstances — as taught by Obatala, one of the Orisha deities in the Yoruba religion
• Discover desirable leadership principles from flora, fauna, fungi — and why partnering with that animal or plant brings the medicine of feeling “safe enough to dream”
• Learn the Saturn mudra — a fear-banishing trance posture with symbolic visualization
• Be guided in a visualization to “get your goat back” — or your greater autonomy

Triumph Against All Odds With Jupiter, Uranus & Trickster Folk Heroes

Explore the craft of necessary miracles — those you create as you stand against the odds.

Ally with the Tricksters, keepers of synchronicity, equality, and democracy in fairy tales, history, myth, fiction, and the realm of flora, fauna, and fungi. They specialize in all kinds of miracles, outwitting tyranny, and liberating the whole community.

Understand how Jupiter and Uranus support your dedication to what you love in a way that makes you bark with laughter. Discover planetary conjunctions unfolding for Jupiter and the capacity to open portals between worlds.

Explore the role and mythology of the great mentor, Chiron, in alleviating suffering, transforming weapons into musical instruments and war into art. Chiron’s myth is that being underestimated is a positive strategic advantage — if you’re going to do something impossible, you might as well make it a surprise.

Allow Bodhi Satva Coyote to help you craft, with your imagination, our own Green Dragon Tavern (the original Green Dragon Tavern was where American Revolutionaries gathered), filled with all esoteric teachings of your Trickster allies.

• What Chiron, mythological founder of the healing temple Aesclepion, tells us about transforming trauma into “my dangerous, beautiful assignment”
• Why inner dedication magnetizes outward opportunity
• How being underestimated is an opportunity and profound step for creating necessary miracles
• Folk heroes (Scheherazade, High John De Conquer, and more) whose jaunty pluck can be woven into the fabric of your life
• The power of dreaming and of giving external visible expression to inner invisible experience through creative acts like writing, singing, and dancing

Dream the News & Reclaim the Soul of Democracy With Neptune, Jupiter & Trickster Storytelling

Jupiter is now conjoining the natal Sun of the U.S. — a powerful invitation to become a nucleus of guiding stability for the soul of the nation and of the Earth.

In this rare celestial moment, align with the original dream of democracy — not the one we inherited, but the one we’re here to midwife.

Caroline will guide you on how to dream the headlines the soul of America would want to read — ones that remind us of the wise and compassionate beings we’re capable of becoming.

She’ll share planetary configurations involving Neptune, who guides us into the oceanic realm of dreams, imagination, vision, divination, symbolic language, trance states, and myth…

… inspiring in us the poetry, art, and music that bring conscious kinship alive in our communities. With Jupiter and Neptune, be fueled by curiosity and wonder.

Find Self-Worth, Risk & Safety in Love Through the Harmony of Venus & Jupiter and Their Storytelling Bards

To love dis-harmony back into harmony creates a greater harmony than existed before.

— Michael Gruber, author

Venus helps you magnetize accomplices and invites you to consider your whole life as a spiritual detective novel, in which every kerfuffle, every affinity, is a clue worthy of honor. Jupiter continues to guide you in animating the desirable potential available through storytelling.

Venus conjoins Jupiter this week, so all the bards of storytelling are here to guide your craft and encourage you to take intriguing risks.

Caroline will dive into the meaning of this week’s grand trine in air, including why a kind of genius only comes alive in danger, especially in the perceived danger of being your true self.

The invitation is to be who you’ve always wanted to be.

Before the mythical Phoenix bursts into flames and is reborn, she sings a hauntingly beautiful song to which all of creation listens, and is reminded of what is truly important — beauty, kindness, and mutual aid.

This week’s Dark Moon comes with invisible power — and serves as a threshold for dreaming, divination, and transmuting what no longer serves us.

Explore why we need the dark to tango with the light…

The spicy dark goddesses show up as dance partners. Dark Moon Lilith and her side-kick, Nemesis, who brings down unjust empires and unfair fortune.

The Wrathful Dakinis, metabolizing the poison of anger into the tonic of wrath in the fierce protection of all life.

The egalitarian pack of heretic medicine women from history and myth who say: “We’ve seen inquisitions before, and we’ve got some tricks we’d like to share.”

Explore Ritual Magic & Align With Your Dedicated Heart Through the Virgo Sun & the Wisdom of Mystical Tricksters

This week, the Sun enters Virgo, the incarnational realm of Mercury, ruler of ritual magic, in its deep Hermetic magic expression. In this realm, small words and small acts can have a big effect.

Venus stands opposite of Pluto, urging us toward shared dedication to something larger than ourselves.

Explore Hermes, Hermia, Elegba, the Emerald Tablet of Hermes, and Ptah — guardians of the crossroads, where people make decisions that forever affect their lives.

Caroline will guide you into the teachings of the bold and bright woman Dion Fortune, an early 20th-century esoteric teacher and founder of the Society of the Inner Light, who said, “The purpose of ritual magic is to spiral into group mind, expanded wisdom, and tolerance.”

Among teachings that Dion received from the Ascended Masters is the idea that danger can be an incentive to dedicated imagining of the desirable.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover the planetary configurations that are happening to ignite greater fellowship and dedication to what we love through ritual magic
• Explore the earned power of Ashé — a sacred word in the Yoruba tradition that holds the power to make words incarnate into actuality
• Delve deep into the history of divination, understanding that we live in a storytelling creation where everything is telling its story with its shape, color, and song
• Consider how all ritual is literalized metaphor — when the world is hot, we ceremonially go to a crossroads and pour cool water to cool out hot reactivity
• Contemplate Dion Fortune’s teachings and why maintaining an atmosphere of tranquility in home and work allows the micro to flow into the marco
• Be guided on how to create your fellowship — reflecting on what you are magnetizing to yourself
