Thankfully the retrograde phase ended on Monday, so things should flow a bit more smoothly soon.

The drumming I do is shamanic; a regular four to seven beats per second, but I always wanted to be a drummer in a band (nearly every little boy's dream at one point). It just isn't in the cards though (can't get all four limbs to do different things at the same time). I love African rhythmic drumming, and have sat in on several circles that were totally incredible. I even have my own Djembe which was hand-made in Africa and imported by a friend and drummer, William "Whit" Whitten. I drag it out every month or so and pound on it till my hands are numb. I still remember a few of the rhythms Whit taught us. Ella, the cranky is all around us it seems.

Not a pretty sight. I didn't know you drum. Are you into Steve Gadd? I was just listening to some of the old stuff he did with Grover and with (late, lamented) Richard Tee. Hard to stay cranky listening to music like that. I’ve been cranky for 2 days. Not a pretty sight.

Since I'm a Capricorn #4 is of particular interest to me. She kindly offered to do a astrology chart for me. Can't wait to see it. 1) Mercury is retrograde til 2/17: Communication is hampered; appointments shift; satellites and communication devices break; short-distance travel is difficult. We are encouraged to not sign contracts, have meaningful heart-to-heart talks. Best to just go with the flow…maybe even study something you’ve always wished to explore. 2) Today [Wed 2/6/08] is a New Moon in Aquarius. Women have gathered for centuries on this auspicious occasion. It is a very good time to put our your intentions for the next moon cycle. What do you wish the universe to help you create? 3) There is also a Solar Eclipse today. Very dramatic. Big Shift. Has been coming on for a while and will continue for another month. Especially as we will experience a Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse in two weeks (they always come in pairs, usually twice a year). <a href="http://theastrologer.com/blog/2008/02/05/solar-eclipse-by-stephanie-austin" rel="nofollow">Read this</a>. 4) Pluto just changed signs from Sag to Capricorn. Huge. Last time this happened was 250 years ago. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-lutin/pluto-capricorn-and-the-_b_82535.html" rel="nofollow">Here’s an article connecting current politics with this shift.</a> A fellow (actually female) blogger friend sent this to me after reading this post.

I am cranky, my house is cranky (oddness in the wiring, leaky roof) my friends are cranky (like you!)--what's going on? Apparently the time/space continuum is speeding up again and we are more comfortable when we can match our vibration to it. I'm posting about the partial solar eclipse tomorrow, and from what I've read there are things going on astrologically, as you say, in conncetion with that. Drumming and chanting are so, so helpful in times such as these. I'm sudying chant as a shamanic practice just now, coincidentally (!) I'll report more on that later. @brightfeather: what a lovely and poetic response. It was a pleasure to come here and read, and I am inspired. Hmm, me too.
