Humans and societies
function within cycles that are mirrored in the sky by the locations of the
planets and the Moon going around the Sun. Just as it is possible to consider
the basic personalities of the people invited to a party and predict what kind
of party might result, it is possible to use planetary analysis to anticipate
the qualities of the human social field on Earth during a given period of time.
Astrology can predict how individuals might be feeling, just by knowing the
archetypal influence of each planet plus the Moon. Just like a wild rock-n-roll
dance party is very different from a black-tie dinner party, life on Earth is
very different during wartime than it is during peacetime. Astrology also
states clearly when an influence begins and is finished; this makes it possible
to look back or go forward in time to identify patterns.
Meanwhile, the Elite
(powers-that-be that control the world) debunk astrology while using it as a
tool to predict human behavior to perpetrate their power games. This site
observes how some global political powers use astrology to stay one step ahead
of the people.
Astrology is the
highest art for analyzing human behavior, and smart people use it. AstroFlash!
looks at how the Elite might be planning events for us during the end of
the Mayan Calendar, and it offers tips on how to live better amidst such
transformative times. Also, this astrological analysis includes the influences
of the Days and Nights of the Galactic Underworld-1999-2011, based on Carl
Johan Calleman's time acceleration hypothesis, which explores Nine Underworlds
of evolution in the universe over 16.4 billion years. AstroFlash!
explores how individuals can succeed and be free and happy during the remainder
of the Mayan Calendar.
How have we gotten to
this critical juncture? Why are 1999 through 2011 so critical for the
survival of our species? My recent book Catastrophobia (2001)
theorizes that we are afflicted with a crippling, species-level, post-traumatic
stress syndrome that I call "catastrophobia". This trauma complex developed
11,500 years ago as the result of a great cosmic catastrophe in our solar
system. This malaise in the collective psyche of our species deepened during
thousands of years after the 9500 BC cataclysm, when our ancestors endured
starvation and horrific environmental stress. Before this time during the
Regional Underworld-100,000 BC through AD 2011--Earth was the Garden of Eden;
we experienced oneness with our planet. These events that separated us from
nature are deeply buried in our minds. Just like adults who once endured
early-childhood abuse that they've largely forgotten, we must heal ourselves by
recovering these memories and understanding how they have changed
us.
Catastrophobia
presents evidence that Earth's axis did not tilt very much before 9500 BC, when
the cosmic disaster disarranged the whole solar system. Therefore,
AstroFlash! is structured by seasonality--equinoxes and solstices-because
once the axis tilted, early humans quickly learned how to maximize their
potential by arranging their lives by the seasons. Seasonality is not taken
into account much in modern times, but it actually has a huge influence on
human consciousness. George W. Bush invaded Iraq exactly during the Spring
Equinox of 2003 because the Elite knew this moment had formative potential.
This was also Day Three of the Galactic, so this invasion caused events that
will influence the rest of the Galactic Underworld.
Once Earth's axis tilted
11,500 years ago, the new seasons necessitated agriculture for human survival,
and gradually hunter-gatherer cultures gave up their ways of life that were in
harmony with nature. Focus on the seasons and lunar cyles goes way back to more
than 10,000 years ago, which is why AstroFlash! examines them in detail.
I've discovered ancient ways to balance our consciousness by showing how to use
the potentiality of each season with intention. I believe that we must utilize
the potential of this quarterly pattern to slowly integrate our neurological
systems with the changes caused by the recently tilting axis. Like Humpty
Dumpty falling off his wall, we can't put ourselves back together again. We can
use the cycles of the Moon to master our emotions very effectively when the
lunar analysis is understood in light of the four seasons. This technique
really helps us handle time acceleration.
The great cataclysm
disarranged the solar system and greatly disturbed many planetary patterns.
For example, Uranus tilts 90 degrees on its axis. Uranus rules cultural
transformations, and by its foundation chart, the United States is very
influenced by Uranus. Now that we are moving into the Age of Aquarius, which
Uranus rules, the USA is poised to become the global empire. AstroFlash!
incorporates the birth chart of the USA in 1776, which is in the Methodology
which follows. The ancients discovered they could assess politics realm by
examining the conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn every twenty years-the
Trigons. The current Elite, the "Bushites", seized the agenda of the recent May
2000 Trigon. This has enabled them to run the show during the Galactic
Underworld, so this site examines their obvious use of astrology. It offers
advice on how individuals can get out of the way, as the so-called "leaders"
create mass-trauma events, such a 9/11. These things are done because they
stimulate catastrophobia and fear.
AstroFlash! breaks
the four seasons down into three lunar cycles within the context of major
planetary transits. I offer some lunar and seasonal chart comparison with
background charts (see Methodology) by means of combust (less than 1 degree by
conjunction) aspects. We begin with how you can master seasonality. This is
written for people north of the equator, yet if you live south of the equator,
just reverse summer and winter.
Seasonality
The New Year is not January 1st! The new year-the Spring
Equinox-occurs around March 21, when the Sun enters 0 degrees Aries by
geocentric astrology. For Earth, this is when the Sun is directly over the
equator. Then it tracks north until it reaches the Tropic of Cancer at 0
degrees Cancer during the Summer Solstice around June 21. Then it turns back
and crosses over the equator at 0 degrees Libra during to the Fall Equinox
around September 23. It moves south of the equator until it reaches the Tropic
of Capricorn at 0 degrees Capricorn on the Winter Solstice around December 21.
Then the Sun seems to move north again for its return to the equator for the
next Spring Equinox. Of course, the Sun only seems to move in this pattern from
Earth's view, since the phenomena is caused by the tilt of Earth's axis as it
orbits the Sun during a solar year.
The modern calendar abuses our conciousness! The time to make
plans for each year is during the Spring Equinox, not during the so-called "New
Year". The most philosophical and spiritual time of the year is the Winter
Solstice, which is reduced to addictions and consumerism by Christmas shopping,
eating, and drinking. In fact, December 21st to March 21st, the last quarter of
the year, is our yearly completion time. The special days and nights
right before the Winter Solstice are the most mystical time of the year, and we
should meditate for hours during this time. Then when the Sun is in Capricorn,
Aquarius, and Pisces before the Spring Equinox, we should be deepening our
understandings of all the things we have learned during the last nine
months-the previous Spring Equinox to the Winter Solstice.
The Spring Equinox is the time to identify the intentions we
wish to fulfill during the four seasons. Ideas correctly seeded at the Spring
Equinox manifest for a year, and I will offer instructions for correctly
seeding ideas and manifesting them through the rest of the seasons. During the
Summer Solstice, the time has arrived to birth these ideas into recognizable
form, like a forming fetus. The Fall Equinox is the time to flesh out, balance,
and assess these creations and to weed things out that just are not working.
Then the Winter Solstice is the time to enter into deep contemplation to
imagine how our personal creations assist others and the planet.
The Winter Solstice is the time to be brutally honest and
evaluate whether our ideas enhance others or whether they may actually be
detrimental for evolution. A sweet elixir of knowing comes the day of the
Winter Solstice when the light begins to return, and each one of us can put
greater realities above our personal desires. It is no accident that in Western
cultures commercial Christmas is inserted just when people are amazingly
psychic and attuned! I suggest you cancel Santa Claus during the Winter
Solstice and spend three months reflecting on what you've created during the
year.
2009 Winter Solstice:
December 21, 2009 /
View
Chart
The Sun has moved into Capricorn, and we celebrate the Winter
Solstice north of the equator, the time when the solar light returns. Since the
dawn of human consciousness, the Winter Solstice is the most spiritual and
contemplative time of the year. Regardless of the conditions in the collective
world, this is always a time of deep renewal for each one of us. This year's
Solstice chart describes a collective dark night of the soul. We need to
clarify our personal perspectives to make our minds into perfect instruments
for cutting new paths in the world during 2010.
We
have all chosen to be here now. By choosing to live during such trying times,
we can attain high levels of personal integrity. So far, the nine-dimensional
model is the best tool I've discovered for achieving subtle states of
consciousness. For example, if you want to avoid feeling totally stuck this
winter amidst the wild slings of fate inspired by Mars retrograde in Leo, you
can adopt an 8D viewpoint-true ethics and moral purity-regardless of what's
going on "out there." By adopting this 8D stance, you will easily embody your
6D ideal self, and you can navigate 3D perfectly. Of course, 4D will vacillate
back and forth between the dark and the light, the yin and the yang, while you
will hold your power in 3D. I quote Cicero from The Laws to emphasize
how this process works:
"Power and law are not synonymous. In truth, they are
frequently in opposition and irreconcilable. There is god's Law from which all
equitable laws of man emerge and by which men must live if they are not to die
in oppression, chaos, and despair. Divorced from God's eternal and immutable
Law, established before the founding of the suns, man's power is evil no matter
the noble words with which it is employed or the motives urged when enforcing
it. . . Men of good will, mindful therefore of the Law laid down by God, will
oppose governments whole rule is by men, and, if they wish to survive as a
nation, they will destroy that government which attempts to adjudicate by the
whim or power of venal judges."
Translate: The Law is 8D and the power complexes are 4D, and
these days the bankers can be substituted for the Roman governments of Cicero's
time. Michael Moore deftly established in his film, Capitalism: A Love
Story, that the bankers have carried out a coup d'etat in the US.
Because 4D has almost totally subsumed 3D, your 8D value senses are being
shredded right now, and the experience is very troubling. My reading for the
Winter Solstice will analyze this dilemma and offer new ways to live in this
distorted field; life was terrible during the Roman Empire and it is terrible
now. The Solstice chart shows that this repeat of the world empire pattern
will be tested this winter, even possibly undermined. As most of you know,
we are now well into Night Six of the Galactic Underworld [see The Mayan
Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind], and the astrology
for this Solstice is a clear and marvelous reflection of our world before the
dawn.
The chart for the Winter Solstice sets up a field in the global
collective that will be very influential all winter, especially since Mars goes
retrograde a day before the Solstice and then goes direct close to the Spring
Equinox. As usual, America has decided to play empire and try to rule the
world, so I will give this country more attention than it deserves. Actually
this is not to be avoided, since the first thing that stands out in the
Solstice chart is the Moon in 27 Aquarius-which is conjunct the Moon in the
1776 USA Founding Chart in 27 Aquarius! And, the Moon is close to the Triple
Conjunction-Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron-in Aquarius. Also, Barack Obama's lunar
South Node is 27 Aquarius. These three combust placements in 27 Aquarius mean
that this Winter Solstice period as a reckoning time for American values
with Obama playing out a past-life role in the foundation of these values.
As we look at national issues, we require a clear perspective on what this
chart means to each one of us. It helps to think of 4D as the reading of the
collective, and of 8D as a personal, ethical challenge. In that sense, the
times ask us to seek the best in ourselves, and this winter will be a time when
we will be forced to face some challenging truths.
Looking at the stellium in Aquarius, we are now in the last hot
zone, the alchemical cauldron of Jupiter's expansion of Neptune's spiritual
breakthroughs inspired by Chiron's healing of deep wounds. This process was
intense from May through July of this year, and now it has returned for the
last time. Jupiter exactly conjuncted Chiron on December 7, and Jupiter is
conjunct Neptune right during this Solstice. What could be more mystical than
Jupiter conjunct Neptune during the Winter Solstice, especially in Aquarius?
Jupiter's conjunction to Neptune expands the personal healing that you
experienced right around December 7 (when Jupiter was conjunct Chiron) into
very high mystical access. This potential is why it is especially worth it to
take the high road-8D-instead of being a reptile in the crowded 4D pit this
winter. It is possible to be very content and blessed during the return of the
light, but not if you are an old saurian playing survival-of-the-fittest. The
healing and mystical fields activated by the Triple Conjunction are very
emotional this winter because the Moon in 27 Aquarius has just moved over
Chiron, Neptune, and Jupiter just before the return of the light. This winter,
few of us will avoid being deeply changed by this last Triple Conjunction
activation because it is coming through our feelings.
The Moon's conjunction to each planet in the Triple Conjunction
just before the Winter Solstice triggers new information about our deepest
wounds as our boundaries to the mystical realms melt away, while Jupiter
expands us into the highest 8D states of mind. Jupiter rules the Law, the
natural Law that Cicero speaks of, and accessing this 8D state of mind is the
only way to be happy and joyful on this planet. This Solstice is a remarkable
challenge to each one of us, and we are being asked to take our stand: What
kind of partner, parent, lover, colleague, child, ecologist, artist, and cook
are you? What were your intentions during the 2009 Spring Equinox and
how are you doing with them? How do they fit into the collective, the greater
field?
Viewing this stunning quadruple conjunction from the collective
perspective, what pops right out is its opposition from Mars newly retrograde
in 20 Leo. Mars went retrograde the day before the Sun went into Capricorn, a
turn in the sky that is ominous for world events. When the world economies and
political structures are moving forward in relatively positive ways, Mars
retrograde can be an excellent time for reflection, the pause that refreshes.
But, these days, world economies are struggling to avoid disaster, and the
whole world is locked into an East/West struggle that is causing constant
warfare and deep depression. Mars, which often increases male aggressive
tendencies, went into in Leo in mid-October, just when the US was digging a
deeper and deeper hole for itself in Afghanistan. The US will dig in even
deeper as Mars retrogrades until March 10. With Mars in Leo for around seven
months, the blind are forced to lead the blind with little thought about the
consequences in the long run. With Mars opposite the Moon in Aquarius (as the
Moon conjuncts the 1776 USA Moon, Obama's South Node, and the Triple
Conjunction), the collective mind will be obsessed with war. This obsession
could ultimately result in dire financial collapse caused by constant warfare.
Sometimes we have to lose everything before we learn anything.
As
the Sun goes into Capricorn and conjuncts Pluto three days later, this aspect
sheds light on the real truths that haunt our minds; we are fed by the
Underworld where we can find ultimate renewal. In the middle of this massive
collective insanity, what are you dedicated to? What is the real meaning of
your life? You must ask this now, or nothing is going to make much sense. After
all, the Sun/Pluto conjunction closely squares Saturn in early Libra, the judge
who demands you take your stance. We are now in the early stages of the 2010
cardinal transits-Uranus and Jupiter in Libra/Pluto in Capricorn/ and Saturn in
Libra-that will force us to go beyond processes that we've been stuck in for a
long time. For example, long protracted wars that are going nowhere will not
work in 2010, and the rats that garroted the economy will be running out of the
ship. 2010 will be a year of reckoning about resources and war, and
Saturn-square-Pluto conjunct the Solstice Sun says the real truth will come
out this winter. The skunks have released their scents, there is no time
for them to refill their sacs, and so the black side of reality will be
visible. Remember, you are in your integrity in your personal reality
regardless of what is exposed-unless you are one of the boys at "Gold Man
Sacks" or one of the other Wall Street firms.
Venus in 25 Sagittarius sextiles the Moon/Triple Conjunction in
Aquarius, which suggests feminine wisdom is expanding our mystical access. I
felt like calling this reading "Warrior Contemplations" when I noticed the Mars
opposition to the stellium in Aquarius. Well, Mars also widely trines Venus in
Sagittarius, the freedom key in this chart, so, I did some thinking about
warriors. I am very anti-military when any military becomes a
multi-generational system of mercenaries; the citizens are forced to pay for
them while the politicians use these pawns to increase their own power. But,
the warrior who truly protects and defends at the highest level is an agent of
the Law, the natural law.
Perhaps this Venus placement means there will be deep thought
about when war is justified? This possibility is reinforced because Venus
widely trines Mars in Leo. Venus closely squares Uranus in Pisces that went
direct December 1. Uranus in Pisces since 2004 has been causing deep and moving
spiritual transformations in all of us. We have learned to consider the true
basis of reality in new ways, and Carl Calleman leads the search for a more
meaningful understanding of the universe and Earth's role in it. Just as Uranus
went direct in Pisces and headed for its passage into Aries in May 2010, Carl
gave us The Purposeful Universe, possibly the most brilliant book of all
time. Carl makes it possible for us to see the spiritual basis of our lives,
and to know that we matter.
Mercury in 20 Capricorn is closely conjunct the lunar North
Node, which adds depth and seriousness to this winter. Many more of us will see
how our personal gifts are part of the common good. When the North Node is in
Capricorn, we search for practical and ethical ways to do things in life, and
we let go of too much security for the greater good. Mercury on the North Node
is exactly quincunx Mars, newly retrograde in Leo. This helps us to see that
every action we take has far-reaching consequences; we think about our impact
on others. Because Mars is in Leo and retrograde, we have strong wills and
fortitude this winter. Many people will show their true colors, and this will
be inspiring in some cases.
Mars is really going to be a complex factor this winter. While
the god of war is retrograde, we will tend to think instead of act. Mars
opposes the Moon/Triple Conjunction, quincunxes Mercury conjunct the North Node
in Capricorn, and Mars trines Venus. These aspects to Mars are so subtle,
complex, and intense that almost all action could be tied in knots until March
10, when Mars goes direct. All the planets (except Sun/Pluto square Saturn) are
resonating with each other because they are located in the last 20-30 degrees
of their signs. This will cause the winter to feel like a pin ball game in
which everything is bouncing off everything else-yet Mars retrograde stops the
action. When things are locked up, life can feel very frustrating, so this is a
winter to start with philosophy and meaning and not to expect much action. In
light of the influence of Night Six, this winter may see a series of falling
dominoes-stocks, commodities, value of money, wars, and blocked legislation. It
will be hard to create new things that will last.
Yet, Saturn in Libra squares Sun/Pluto, which makes us feel
like the hammer is about to come down. Having things stop and get stuck is
often what happens when a lot of things have been created too fast and
irresponsibly-as they have since 1999 when the Galactic Underworld opened. The
world is stuck in a series of quagmires, life feels stagnated, and an
oppressive reckoning is building. Is there any way out of this mess? Can we see
any light as the light returns?
The central thread in this exceedingly complex Solstice chart
is visible if we focus on the lunar South Node in 21 Cancer. Suddenly what pops
out is that the Moon conjunct the Triple Conjunction sextile Sun/Pluto/Venus
forms a strong yod to the lunar South Node in Cancer. Yods are best
understood by imaging them as a dousing rod: The planets in the sextile are the
rods we hold in our hands, and the placements opposite the sextile represent
the power point of the rod seeking water, seeking nurturance. Yods always
accomplish meaningful results, even though their actions are very internal and
hard to observe. Yods represent inner changes in each person that shift
reality on the surface. The yod from the Moon/Triple Conjunction sextile
Venus/Sun/Pluto to the South Node in Cancer means the deepest healing and
mystical access this winter is drawing power from nurturing experiences in the
past-times when we got through hard times and found community again in spite of
stupid politicians and power mongers. This yod exists because so many planets
and the lunar nodes are in the last degrees of their signs (the pin ball
affect), and amazingly, there is a second yod!
Uranus in 23 Pisces sextiles the lunar North Node conjunct
Mercury in Capricorn, and this sextile shoots a yod to Mars retrograde in 20
Leo. This means that the current spiritual transformations that are pushing us
to new evolutionary paths (Uranus) are in a powerful alliance with evolutionary
agenda of becoming a new species (Pluto/Sun/Venus), and they are drawing power
from transcending our identity as warriors (Mars). This is a really big deal
because the wars we are struggling with are creations of the National and
Planetary Underworlds during the last 5,125 years. Massive warfare did not
exist before that, and during the 100,000-year-long Regional Underworld, we
worked in community in different ways. The Regional Underworld imprint is
longer and deeper than the National and Planetary Underworlds. During the
Galactic Underworld since 1999, our consciousness has been evolving out of
solving problems by using warfare, and a new global unity through
communications is evolving within our species. This yod to Mars means we will
experience great inner growth that will eventually make our species more
peaceful-a movement will take over the collective field during 2011.
To
summarize, this winter will be a time of the deepest and most formative
transformation of our species. Many old ideas, communities, and individuals
will not be visible when the spring arrives. This winter is a time of pruning,
of removing old growth so that new shoots can come forth. I would advise you to
work on these two yods by holding the planets in the sextiles in your left and
right hands while you access the power of the dowsing rod-the lunar South Node
in Cancer for accessing past nurturance, and Mars in Leo for finding ways to
use power with positive actions.
Aquarius New Moon:
February 13, 2010 View
Chart
It
is the New Moon in Aquarius, the ultimate time for creating your own reality
during the yearly cycle of 13 new moons. Aquarians are said to be independent,
creative, changeable, and unique, which is frequently true. Yet, the challenge
for any Aquarian is to be grounded and to have an open heart, since the ruling
planet of Aquarius-Uranus-makes Aquarians over-energized, abstracted, and
mental. During this New Moon, each one of us is especially challenged to access
this creative and transformative part of ourselves, because the Chiron/Neptune
conjunction (exact on Feb. 16) is exactly conjunct the New Moon. It would be
wise to remember that intense self-discovery can take you out of your body,
which separates you from the powers of your heart. This is the yearly Aquarian
challenge for everybody, but this year's Aquarius New Moon offers a quantum
leap in creative potential. This New Moon offers the central creative
program, not just Aquarian software.
As
this potential comes into our world, the collective field is undergoing deep
structural change during the second Saturn upper-square Pluto on January 31,
which was right after the Full Moon in Leo conjunct Mars. The signature themes
are now becoming clear-the gargantuan 3.8 trillion dollar US federal budget;
failing war and security efforts; the impending collapse of the global housing
industry; stress in the Japanese auto industry; and the probable failure to
achieve comprehensive health care in the US. As Saturn's retrograde square to
Pluto hammers the world, most Americans realize that the American middle-class
dream is over. Financial security was garroted on rifle butts, smothered in
expensive prescription drugs, and destroyed by excessive mortgage debt. These
hard Saturn/Pluto aspects are the key right now; Saturn forms and structures
reality while Pluto destroys things that are no longer useful, following the
cycles of evolutionary change for economies and social systems.
World economies moved out of recession in
1982/3 when Saturn conjuncted Pluto, and these economies accelerated during the
great boom of the '80s and '90s. This expansion broke when Saturn opposed Pluto
in 2001/02, and slowed even more when the US persuaded many countries to invest
in endless war. Now with the upper square occurring after almost ten years of
global fears, unpleasant truths are emerging: Millionaire politicians out of
touch with the public have frittered away the wealth of the United States,
which could trigger global bankruptcy. The American budget proposals, with no
end in sight to spending, reveal there is no room for any domestic initiatives,
even if wars were abandoned now. Ironically-speaking of activating your own
central creative potential-this economic and political disaster means you have
to do just that! People have less and less to lose all the time, and so more
will break free and discover what they are actually capable of. You
create your world-not banks, politicians, or the military.
The New Moon in 25 Aquarius is combust
(less than 1 degree) the Chiron/Neptune conjunction, which will be exact on
February 16. Therefore, the lunar seed or theme is the full revelation of
Chiron conjunct Neptune. In my 2009 readings, I focused constantly on this
"Triple Conjunction"-Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune in 25/26 Aquarius-because it was
the central astrological theme. The conjunction of these three planets in close
range during most of last year inspired a gigantic healing and spiritual crisis
in most of our lives, which has fundamentally changed us. Chiron rules the
deepest wounding complexes in our body/minds, Neptune rules access to spiritual
planes by our souls, and then Jupiter's activation of this wounded spirit
complex expanded this species-level crisis to the universal
level.
Considering what the Pleiadians think of
Earth right now, they are appalled by how you blow your bodies to bits and end
up living in bodies with missing limbs. Meanwhile, well-paid city planners
create more handicapped zones for wounded bodies. Do not be naive about the
distraction being created by these bizarre programs that could cause your
species to stop valuing normal physicality. Your potential to become a loving
and peaceful species grew during the Triple Conjunction. Jupiter's "push"
opened multidimensional doorways that offer humankind new solutions; a good
example is the remarkable film Avatar that has a thrilling central theme of a
paraplegic regaining his legs. The tragedy in Haiti was the greatest
manifestation of the Triple Conjunction: Chiron as deep wounding, with Neptune
expressing the ardent religious fervor of the Haitian people, and Jupiter
representing the expansion of their plight to the whole world. Three days after
the New Moon, the exact Chiron/Neptune conjunction will enable you to identify
your own way to a major healing-which can be a key to unlock the doors to total
access to spiritual wholeness.
These days the outer world convulses in
astonishing chaos and pain caused by earthquakes, East/West violence, and
global financial instability. The New Moon conjunct Chiron/Neptune pries open
pathways to spirit because so many people know they cannot survive in such
traumatic realities. This wild group in Aquarius insists that what matters
is what you are personally doing, not the collective madness. Are you
available to your elders, your children, and your colleagues and friends, or
are you spaced out on Face Book? Being grounded is especially critical for
Americans, since the New Moon conjunct Chiron/Neptune is right on the USA 27
Aquarius Moon, as well as right on the lunar South Node of the American
president, Barack Obama. An excellent astrologer, Art Gianfermo, brought to my
attention that Pluto is in 24 Aquarius in the chart for the formation of the
American Stock Exchange in 1792. This strongly suggests that stocks could be
negatively affected by this New Moon. Also, Saturn in 4 Libra is transiting the
lunar North Node of the Stock Exchange Chart. Since Saturn squares Pluto while
it transits the Stock Exchange North Node, fundamental changes are about to
come for investors. For example, how is the middle class going to even be able
to invest in the future? Investors, be careful-many transits in cardinal
planets are building up for the so-called "Cardinal Crunch" this summer.
Also regarding 26 Aquarius, Neptune was in
26 Aquarius when the planet was first discovered in 1846! During this New Moon
and the Chiron/Neptune conjunction on February 16, Neptune is experiencing its
return, which will complete the spiritual trends that began in the 1840s. If we
go back to the time of Neptune's sighting, we find people experimenting with
mediumship; hypnotism was discovered; and the theosophical movement began.
These movements were all based on the premise that we are not separate from
spirit, and that we can develop skills to be in touch with spirit. For those of
us accessing nine dimensions and other multidimensional studies these days, we
are accessing galactic and universal consciousness. Barriers to other worlds
are breaking down, and the key to these breakdowns is always Uranus, which is
in the sign that rules Neptune, Pisces.
The planet of transformation, Uranus, is
exactly 30 degrees beyond Chiron/Neptune conjunct the New Moon. This is not a
strong aspect, but Uranus rules Aquarius, so this increases Neptunian resonance
with the New Moon complex. While in Pisces, Uranus subtly emphasizes that the
really meaningful transformations are spiritual and not physical. Uranus has
been in Pisces since 2003 and moves into Aries in March 2011 (after a brief
sojourn into Aries during June-August 2010), so we are in the final stages of
mastering its spiritual potential. Uranus rules our creative development over
84 years and transits each sign of the Zodiac for 7 years, the famous
"seven-year itch." Every seven years, a new creative theme is worked out in
culture, and as individuals, we each change greatly at ages 7, 14, 21, 28, and
so on. Many cultures feel that a child first becomes an adult at age 21, which
is the first Uranus square. Collectively, the 84-year cycle begins with Aries
and ends with Pisces, so now we are poised at the end of a Uranus cycle and a
new beginning in Aries. Thus, this culmination in Pisces is the collective
spiritual maturation after growing through many levels since 1927, the last
time Uranus was in Aries (which was just before the Great Depression).
If
you reflect for a moment, you will notice that you have become much more
spiritually inclined since the 1960s, when Uranus entered the latter signs of
this cycle, and now we are experiencing the final stages of spiritual
breakthrough. This New Moon expresses this story dramatically with the New
Moon/Chiron/Neptune also in happy resonance with Uranus in Pisces. And, Jupiter
is now in Pisces, which is awakening compassion and spirituality and expanding
the final stages of the 184-year-long Neptune discovery phase. The grouping of
the New Moon/Chiron/Neptune in late Aquarius followed closely by Venus/Jupiter
in early Pisces certainly draws the eye. We can feel that something momentous
is coming, and I note that there were many rumors about secret negotiations
with the Taliban of Afghanistan and Pakistan during the second
Saturn-square-Pluto. Hmmm . . .
Meanwhile, my more-complex eye is drawn to
two thought-provoking "Yods" in this New Moon chart (a "Yod" is the
finger of God in Arabic astrology). Pluto sextile Venus/Jupiter is in a
Yod to Mars retrograde, and Saturn sextile Mars is in a Yod to Venus/Jupiter.
These are very tight Yods. If you recall, there were two potent Yods in the
2009 Winter Solstice chart that have already demonstrated their powers, as I
discussed in the reading for the previous New Moon. So, let's talk about Yods,
since few people understand them and few astrologers pay much attention to
them. Yods are quite rare during New and Full Moons and seasonal charts, and so
they should be scrutinized when they occur during these intense passages. Also
they rule deep inner psychological processes, the source for the ability to
make real changes in our lives. ln my own work as an astrologer, I have found
Yods pack a wallop on the scale of grand squares and T-squares. I don't know
whether Arabic astrologers would agree that they are this significant. But,
since the best source on Yods is Arabic astrology, I suspect Eastern
astrologers value them as I do. Of course, Yods have two quincunxes in them,
and Western astrologers do not pay enough attention to quincunxes, the aspects
that push us to do things we are resisting.
You can image the finger of God as
God's finger pointing at the meaningful issue, with God's body shooting its
power through this finger. Since current male-dominant descriptions of God are
so disempowering, I like to describe Yods by using the dowsing rod as my model.
Dowsing rods are metal tools used to detect the location of water. The "dowser"
holds the two rods that hold a bent rod in a slip that allows the two rods to
move freely. Holding the rods in his hands, when the holder's cells feel water,
electrical signals in the dowsers hands cause the rods to draw together to form
a double quincunx-the Yod-that points the rods to the water source. They really
work! Imagine yourself as a dowser holding the energy of the two planets (or
more) in a sextile and then allow that energy to flow out of your hands to the
opposite point, the head of the Yod. Of course, you can only do this by
comprehending and feeling the quality of each planet in the sextile, while you
imagine holding them in your left and right hands. Then as you shoot this force
out to the head of the Yod, you can feel how its impulses, pushes, and
activates the planet at the head of the Yod-that is, assuming you can feel the
qualities of the planet at the head. It sounds complicated, so, let's just do
it. Then we can look at how these powers affect the New Moon/Chiron/Neptune in
Aquarius, which is the theme of the New Moon: totally activating your
creative potential now.
Venus/Jupiter in early Pisces plays a
pivotal role because it is the right hand of the Yod to Mars, and it is also
the head of the Yod coming from the Saturn/Mars sextile. Like a caduceus, this
double role greatly intensifies both Venus and Jupiter, especially Venus, which
is less than one degree from its aspects to Mars and Saturn, very close aspects
indeed! Taking a glimpse at what's been going on lately with Venus, Venus was
conjunct the Sun during the December 31 Cancer lunar eclipse; combust the Sun
during the January 15 close solar eclipse; and conjunct the Sun during the
January 29/30 Full Moon. These were the eclipses and Full Moon that facilitated
our movement into our collective dark night of the soul that was
initially set up by the field of the Winter Solstice. Therefore the role Venus
is playing must be carefully watched, especially in the actions of these two
Yods.
See yourself standing very erect with your
feet grounded in Earth. You are holding Venus/Jupiter in 3-6 Pisces in your
right hand, and Pluto in 5 Capricorn in your left hand. Pluto in Capricorn is
pushing us all to completely transform the structures in our world, while
Venus/Jupiter conjunct in Pisces inspire us to melt into total spiritual
immersion. You are holding a force in your hands that has been overturning the
major world religions by opening spiritual reconnection with Earth, the central
goddess. As you hold these forces in your hands and feel them in your body,
shoot that great energy out to Mars retrograde in Leo. Like the rerun of a bad
movie, Mars retrograde in Leo is dragging the human race back through all its
recent dregs of war, chaos, dominance, and greed. This is a part in us that
swills in our own emotional and mental excrement until we can't stand it
anymore-so just climb out of the pit! The people in Haiti, struggling to escape
the hell they've lived in for so long and being hauled out of rubble, with the
recalcitrant West warring against the stupefied and barbarized East, perfectly
express this energy. The ego in you that refuses to let the past go so that you
can be refreshed to discover a new world expresses this force. Feel how the
relentless force of Pluto in Capricorn crumbles walls and exposes financial and
military corruption, as the Earth expands herself with Jupiter's masterful
powers. Indeed, the Finger of God is pointing to and melting the real
problem, too much martial energy wasted in killing and destruction instead
of resources used for protection and building new realities.
Now, for the second Yod. See yourself
standing erect again with your feet firmly on the ground. You are holding Mars
in Leo in your left hand, and Saturn in Libra in your right hand. Mars
retrograde in Leo is dragging us back through experiences of using energy badly
and being too much in ego; and Saturn retrograde in early Libra is pushing us
to deepen the balance and harmony that we achieved November 2009 through
mid-January 2010. During this short period, it looked like the world economy
was recovering and the old order would be salvaged. Now the great changes are
coming on strong again, we are being asked to find new paths. You are holding
an energy force in your hands that can show you how to balance power and
aggression in your life so that you can regain the full usage of your
protective powers. Saturn is asking you to remember the real potency of Mars,
which has created civilization and families and life itself. As you hold
potent, sextiled Mars and Saturn in your hands, shoot this force out to
Venus/Jupiter in Pisces, two players standing together to rebirth the goddess
and expand beauty in our reality. Venus/Jupiter plays the role of pointing us
to choose Earth first, to expand ourselves in beauty, while also being the
right-handed power pushing Mars to rise out of his patriarchal rut. For fun,
let's call this the "Avatar Yod".
As
best you can, feel these forces through your hands, and feel the powers that
you can actually direct in your reality. Hold the feeling for these very real
forces during the New Moon. Note that there is still another planet aspecting
the Yods that we just played with: Mercury in Aquarius, which functions as the
ultimate activator of the Yods. Mercury in 5 Aquarius closely opposes Mars
retrograde in 4 Leo, while it trines Saturn retrograde in 4 Libra. Mercury
encourages extremely challenged Mars to use intelligence first for a change,
while Saturn in Libra is being inspired with new creative visions of new ways
to create structures in the world.
To
summarize this very complex and potent New Moon chart: The collective world
will feel very chaotic and undirected, while individuals will wake up
mind-bending inner creative powers, especially those who have planets in 3-6
degrees of any sign. If you do, you may feel like you are in the middle of a
pinball machine with lights and sound going off while somebody is shaking and
tilting it to boot. The early Greeks always said, "Know Thyself." Well, perhaps
they were right.

These charts are the foundation for my political analysis of
the lunar cycles and seasons through 2012, but I do not always write about what
I see. These charts have tremendous political influence over long periods of
time, especially in the United States. Yet, because the US is attempting to be
the world empire, these charts influence the world. They tend to "frame" each
New Moon within a season and focalize the greater planetary cycles into our
personal lives. All major cycles are very potent as we come to the end of
the Mayan Calendar
during the Galactic Underworld. Next is a discussion of why I consult the
charts listed above.
The European Imperialism
Trigon, May 21, 1702:
View
ChartThis is the beginning of the current Superior Trigon
Cycle-Jupiter-conjunct-Saturn in early Aries that ends around AD 2498. Superior
Trigons are approximately 796 years long, and they are fantastic for analyzing
long historical cycles. The Superior Trigon Cycle always begins in the early
degrees of Aries (cardinal fire), which initiates new social forces on Earth.
Trigons reveal how expansionary forces (Jupiter) manifest structures (Saturn),
and also show how constriction may limit possibilities. Saturn tends to control
the inner planets and the Sun and fields the potency of the outer
planets--Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Jupiter works to receive outer-planet
intelligence and disseminate it into the inner planets. The Jupiter/Saturn
conjunction occurs every twenty years, and American popular culture (as well as
the Elite) has leaned to fear it, since the USA president in office during the
conjunction often dies in office. For example, Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy
died, and Ronald Reagon was wounded. For my purposes, Trigons indicate which
element--earth, air, fire, or water--dominates society. This influence is
huge and illuminating, and we will experience the transition from earth
to air in 2020. On that Winter Solstice day, Jupiter will conjunct Saturn in 0
degrees Aquarius. The earth element has been ruling since July 17, 1802, and
the May 28, 2000 Trigon is the last cycle in earth. The last 200 years, mostly
during the Planetary Underworld-1755-2011, have indeed been very earthy and
material, which has greatly taxed Earth's ecology.Regarding the Superior Trigon
of 1702, the element is fire, and the chart for it reveals a lot about the
plans of European Imperialists mostly led by the British, French, and Germans
since 1702. This process was intensified by the Earth Trigon in 1802, which
added America to the group. The Superior Trigon with the Moon, Neptune, and
Venus conjuncting the Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aries set off persistent
aggressive forces, remarkable liberation and pain for women, and a potent
spiritual transformation over 800 years. It seems to suggest that the
individual development of will is what can prepare us for the Age of Aquarius.
Nostradamus used the 1702 Trigon for many of his prophecies, yet he used a
chart for the Spring Equinox before this Trigon, since he could not calculate
the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction exactly. I use the exact conjunction in 1702 for
the modern world, since now we can calculate the exact conjunction. (See The
Secrets of Nostradamus, by David Ovason, Harper Collins, 2001, and The
Mountain Astrologer, "The Great Conjunctions and the World Trade Center
Attacks," by Robert Hand, April/May 2002, for more information.)
The American Imperialism
Trigon, July 17, 1802:
View
Chart This is the chart for Jupiter-conjunct-Saturn for
the current cycle in earth, which occurred in early Virgo, when the USA joined
the European Imperialists to play out various territorial designs. To
understand more about how these cycles work by elements and triplicities, see
The Mountain Astrologer article mentioned just above. I am working with this
cycle a bit differently than Robert Hand. For example, he uses the Spring
Equinox ingress in 1841 for the beginning of the earth cycle, and I use July
17, 1802, the first conjunction in earth, even though the next Jupiter/Saturn
conjunction retrograded back to fire. I think the first entry into earth is the
key, even if it moves back into a previous element. The 1802 chart aspects the
1776 USA chart strongly, which pulled the US into the European power games.
This chart predicts great change and growth for the US, which occurred after
1802, when the industrial revolution of the Planetary Underworld (1755-2011 was
in full swing.
The Bushite Trigon, May
28, 2000:
View
ChartThis chart indicates how our hopes and dreams will
be structured by the earth element until December 21, 2020, when the Trigon
will occur in 0 degrees Aquarius during the Winter Solstice. These twenty years
are strikingly significant for our species. The Bushites took over with such
overwhelming power in America as soon as they got into office, their alteration
of basic systems, such as Homeland Security, will tend to dominate for the
whole twenty years. This chart indicates how we will use the last phase of the
earth element--grounding ourselves. When we move into the air element--living
by movement and energy--we will fly, especially since the air conjunction will
be in 0 degrees Aquarius as the Age of Aquarius is moving in. Chiron is
conjunct Pluto (on the USA rising conjunct Pluto in the WTC chart) opposite Sun
and Mars, which suggests continual problems with violence and darkness that
will force people to process the past and heal. Saturn-conjunct-Jupiter is in
23 degrees Taurus squaring Uranus in 22 degrees Aquarius, indicating the period
will involve tense and creative experiments with resources. The chart indicates
the USA will try to protect itself by controlling the world (due to the 11-12
degree Sag. influence and the Trigon rising is conjunct the USA Mercury). There
will be remarkable exposures of how power and evil function, which will be
extremely difficult for US citizens, who believe in the right to "the American
way of life".
USA 1776 Founding Chart--July 4,
1776: View
ChartAll analysis of US politics uses some version for the
foundation of America. This version is known as the Sibley chart.
The Millennial Chart
(Chiron conjunct Pluto), December 30, 1999: :
View
Chart This aspect is important because it was the most
critical aspect as we entered the New Millennium. 11 Sagittarius is prominent
in the WTC Bombing Chart and the USA Founding Chart. This was when the mundane
world was herded into fear over the "Y2K crash", which actually did happen at
the end of 2000 as the Nasdaq techie crash. Neptune was exact conjunct the
Lunar South Node as we approached 2000 showing that we were mired in confusion.
Chiron was conjunct Pluto previously in July 1941, the depths of WWII. Pluto
conjunct Chiron exposes the nasty dark world of Pluto-manipulation and power
games--so that a healing can come like lancing boils. Since this is the first
conjunction with Pluto since Chiron was sighted in 1977, it triggered a crisis
over how humanity can consciously face the darkest Plutonian forces and heal
evil by processing pain. We must understand why humanity is so destructive, or
at least learn to recognize real evil and take action against it. As hidden
truths come out, priestly sex abuse, computer fraud, abuse of poor nations by
rich nations, and shocking power grabs are becoming more visible every day. The
Chiron/Pluto conjunction was in Sagittarius, which means we have sixty years of
healing the pain over abuse from religions, so hold onto your hats, especially
Roman Catholic Cardinals! By the end of this sixty-year phase, the truth about
religious power games will be fully exposed. Watch for synchronicities between
exposure of Elite corruption and the Roman Church, since they have worked in
tandem for the past 2000 years.
World Trade Center Bombing,
September 11, 2001:
View ChartI
consult this chart because the USA is the most powerful country on Earth, and
9/11 made it possible for it to aggressively pursue military adventures in the
world, mostly against the desire of its citizens. 9/11 functions as a timelock
on Americans, since everything shifted fundamentally on that fateful
day.
