here is Gil Scott-Heron performing his poem "Whitey on the Moon"

[goodgrammaritan]

A rat done bit my sister Nell.

(with Whitey on the moon)

Her face and arms began to swell.

(and Whitey's on the moon)

I can't pay no doctor bills.

(but Whitey's on the moon)

Ten years from now I'll be payin' still

While Whitey's on the moon.

You know, the man jus' upped my rent las' night,

'cause Whitey's on the moon.

No hot water, no toilets, no lights,

but Whitey's on the moon.

I wonder why he's uppi' me?

'cause Whitey's on the moon?

Well I wuz already givin' 'im fifty a week

And now Whitey's on the moon.

Taxes takin' my whole damn check,

The junkies make me a nervous wreck,

The price of food is goin' up,

An' as if all that crap wuzn't enough,

A rat done bit my sister Nell.

(with Whitey on the moon)

Her face an' arms began to swell

And Whitey's on the moon.

Was all that money I made las' year

For Whitey on the moon?

How come I ain't got no money here?

Hmm! Whitey's on the moon.

Y'know I jus' about had my fill

Of Whitey on the moon.

I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,

Airmail special

To Whitey on the moon

big things that are coming.

full moon lunar eclipse at 12 virgo, march 3. avoid martyring yourself, in a manipulative way or otherwise. and don't be fooled by other would-be martyrs; they probably want something from you and this can make your life quite difficult in the long run. give if you feel so called but don't give too much of yourself. this energy is not outright malicious but it's very unstable.

jupiter direct at 15 cancer, march 10. jupiter stations are so much less chaotic than stereotypical mercury ones, for various reasons, but the direct motion does make jovial themes external and more physical. this could be a time of good fortune, personally and/or socially.

ceres into taurus, march 14. ceres is not widely used enough to have an established exaltation but i wouldn't be very surprised if it was taurus. at any rate, she's been in aries (which i think she also likes) for quite some time, almost a year! so the fresh verdant vibes of taurus suit her all the better for it and i think this should be very good for the world amidst other placements which are, at best, chaotic.

mercury direct at 8 pisces, march 20. and so another mercury retrograde cycle comes to a close. the mind begins to clear, and complicated challenging situations will clear faster and more easily if you don't meddle with them much, too.
