Jake Nielsen’s Triple Threat

0

lylb JakeNielsenBlues musician Jake Nielsen didn’t name his band Triple Threat because he plans on being the next big writer/director/actor. The name stems from the fact that Triple Threat is a trio. Nielsen doesn’t even always have the same two guys backing him, but he sticks to the three-person format regardless, because he likes how it showcases his music.

RisaNewSWe must be patient Thursday, Sept. 4—we may experience limitation and restraints, feeling we haven’t done or said enough. Carefully think through ideas before explaining. The afternoon is easier. Friday through Sunday may prove difficult concerning agreements or conclusions. We can’t seem to find anyone thinking or feeling as we do to understand us. This is temporary. However, it places everyone in a state of solitude and feelings of loss. What’s occurring is refinement from Virgo, transformation from Pluto and inner expansion from Jupiter—all working together for our evolution (Path of Return). Things get easier with Aquarius moon. We begin to feel a sense of freedom, innovation, liberty. Saturday we’re more hungry than usual. We need expansion. Sunday, Pisces moon, we’re confused, seek the spiritual, encounter dissolution. We dive into the wreck and emerge out of the deep waters filled with compassion and tenderness. Monday is unsettling (Uranus). Monday evening (full moon time) is the Solar Festival of Virgo, 16.19 degrees. Virgo (the mother, earth, matter and form) contains within herself the spirit of God (Father). As Father and Mother/matter merge they create the Holy Child (the Soul), which Virgo is gestating, giving birth at Winter Solstice. We begin preparations for winter solstice at this full moon time. Tuesday, Mercury/Pluto—a message is given to humanity that things are building toward a deep, we-can’t-go-back-to-the-past, transformative change. We prepare for this, too. Together. Under the light of the full moon.
