Post 13: Ketu Venus conjunction: Cataclysmic

Venus had entered Leo on 4th July forming a deep conjunction with Ketu in Magha (3 ). Maximum conjunction is today, on 11th July, Saturday,  and today morning itself, I got the news of another of my childhood friends untimely death...



My childhood friend Diptiman Kataki, ie, Santu. We had a lifelong odyssey through the various ages and stages of life. And suddenly he was found dead in his bed, asleep , cops had to be called to break the door and enter his home. The body has gone for mandatory autopsy and tomorrow is the cremation..


Too many of my  close people departing untimely,  without any warning, (especially post Covid years)..    has left me in a permanent state of paralyzed numbness.

ESPECIALLY post Covid years, somehow the tempo of life events has taken on the crazy flux of a  reckless, haphazard, wild , unpredictable .. stormy sea.

 
Like, my favourite post modern thinkers, Zizek, Baudrillard, Virilio predicted, the virulent crazy, acceleration of events have approached a maddening vertigo inducing speed, vertiginious ( vertigo inducing) reckless, haphazard, stormy sea.

Today I feel  justified with the intense title  and description (on top) of this Ketu Currents Blog. It has truly and honestly described the INTENSITY of these cataclysmic Ketu Currents. 

And the last three posts have directly been in the environment and circumstance of death, mortis, funerary rituals, tributes. That is the dark nature of the dreaded Moola nakshatra, whose ruler is Ketu.


I had previously written something for this/ today's post. BUT the unforseen, cataclysmic, chaotic event of my childhood friends sudden death has commanded and prevailed over the content, colour, mood of this post.

Ketu Venus: Cataclysmic Creativity

Creativity/ Art is not just creating a beautiful vase, or a painting of beautiful flowers. 

It is the cataclysmic gathering of words, pictures, elements.. that depict the accurate feelings, and true emotions of.. the Human Condition..

..and, which is only possible, through the cataclysmic flowing emotions..  of Ketu Currents!!!
