i'm going to have to update those keywords—created them several years ago to get eon phase snapshot. these don't quite capture things: this phase introduces a new emotional power, its impact & expansion. Flora conjunct Venus/Fanatica waxing octile the Moon. Fanatica (fascinating, “Fanaticus” was an honorable designation) in several senses: fan, fasces, sacred (since it comes from fanum, "temple") &c. words from the song, Looking at your face with the fragrance of jasmine flowers/ Opening up at the moment of emotional goodbye/ Tonight I will walk to your side/ I will fly with you/ With you soaring through the sky/ So much more that we can see/ Flying together high. emotional goodbye.
"Lightning" Bolt is speaking from EON-5's dynamic: "get through" & "move forward". You have to move forward after the disaster. And also, the Olympics ask people to move forward. China understands deep symbolism [+] — and i think its EON-5 move forward structure... is the shape of an expanding global flower (or some sorta dual global flower thingy. hey, great idea for a floaty) [+].
