"[] a good way to tap a grand trine’s latent energy is to have at least one planet square or opposed to a planet in the grand trine. This planet in hard aspect can often produce enough stimulus to mobilize the grand trine’s otherwise latent energy. If you have such a planet in your chart, get to know it so that you can develop a habit of using its energy to break free of your inertia.- Grand Trine Planetary Pattern
[] Such "medicinal" histories seek to re-establish the connections between peoples and their histories; to reveal the mechanisms of power, the steps by which their current condition of oppression was achieved, through a series of decisions made by real people in order to dispossess them; but also to reveal the multiplicity, creativity and persistence of resistance among the oppressed." - Aurora Levins Morales
"How was the move?"
"Like a caper," Sal answered.
She continued, "small and potent."
Remembering what it took for them to build the golden wagon, Sal watched Sam over the two days. After six years of rooting themselves into the forest the same incremental and deliberate process was being repeated as the fully matured life was being transplanted. In the quiet and darkened hours following the move Sam would remind his round woman "We did it, never forget that."
"How did I help?" Focused on the physical work of the process, Sal left herself out of the equation.
"By instigating the move. I knew we needed to do it, but I've known for years. Danced around it, distracting myself with ... this and that." It was true, Sal did push for a specific date. New Moon in Libra, a chance for new beginnings in the sign of relationships. The potential was there. She set the intention.
"And by being there, with me every inch of the way." Except to go into town to get sandwiches, Sal stayed, watched, encouraged and photographed the process. At the same time, her mind tried to remember the name of the small, pickled powerful green berry that packed a punch. The name escaped her, literally hovering over her tongue. The salty green thing that flavored the olive tapenade Sal loved. When she let it go, the name, the name? Finally, CAPERS.
What is a caper? A caper is the name of an immature blossom from a Mediterranean shrub that is pickled. A caper is also a slang for a romp, an escapade an often clandestine operation.
Use the word in a sentence. "Sal put the two meanings together to work the angles in her generous imagination to make sense of the feelings of disorientation she was feeling from the small but powerful caper."
"Ah, she gets it," said T.F.
