A-K R: 2.6.22

Astro-Kinetic Reflection 

Temporally Conditioned Reverberative Thoughts 

Resulting from Astro-Kinetic Contemplation 




 #LiturgyoftheWord  Is 6:1-2a, 3-8

#Gospel Lk 5:1-11

In the celestial dance Mars and Venus are in conjunction reminding us of personal cosmic balance. This happens in Capricorn, where ambition meets physical engagement.

The first reading and the gospel remind us of this balance

The predominate impression in Isaiah’s vision is pain. The burning coal on his lips purifies him, and wakes him up to priorities in life. Only after suffering can he put off his fear and say, ““Here I am, send me!”

The gospel presents a different path. Peter is locked in an economic subsistence that drains him of any sense of telos. Christ gives him the equivalent of winning the lottery. The excessive bounty seems to wake him up the the inadequacy of economic slavery.


The path to thesosis is not singular. It is not exclusively through fortune or struggle. These are mediums of spiritual engagement. The pilgrim saint recognizes this and looks to any experience with openness as an opportunity for growth.



As Vesnus and Mars abide together in Capricorn, the scriptures and the cosmic order focus us on how experience balances our orientation by means of the external world. As it does, we must rise to the occasion with awareness and say with Isaiah, “Here I am, send me!”
