stellArium & ethereal counterparts

14 December 2016 @ 0:06 GMT at 22°25 gemini tonight the last 2016 full-moon indicates that there is more than one side to the story but also provides an opportunity to align with a deeply felt truth and express an optimistic higher view with the mystic rectangle the energies at hand require a mind-FULL creative imaginative pioneering disposition .. according to Rudhyar this pattern involves two potentially awareness-revealing, illuminating oppositions that can creatively reach ideal or inspired fruition (trine influence) thru intelligent, innovative utilization of energies (sextile influence). symbol for your consideration : Three fledglings in a nest high in a tree. Key: The growth of spiritually creative processes in an at least relatively integrated mind. In traditional symbolism birds usually refer to spiritual forces, or at least to the higher and freer aspects of the mind. Here we see only the very beginning of a process in what we might also call "

 bindu In the name of astrology, ninety-nine percent of astrologers are only bluff. Only one percent know that astrology is a vast subject - so vast that someone can only enter into it hesitatingly... My intention in talking on astrology is not the same as are discussed by an ordinary astrologer. The astrology I am talking about is of much more depth. Something which is essential between your life and that of the universe is connected, is in a rhythmic harmony. We are not separate or isolated but joined together in an organic way. Life is a whole. Whatever is happening anywhere in the universe also affects man and vice versa. If we can understand this properly, there is no need to live encaged within ego and pride. The significance of astrology is this: you are not, but the universe is. Your ego is not, but the cosmos is. Very powerful forces are operating, and your ego is absolutely insignificant. You can only understand the astrology I am talking about, if you think

new moon opposite the galactic center, venus retrograde, jupiter in gemini, summer solstice, sun opposite pluto ... there are now several celestial configurations highlighting and activating a major 2012 planetary cycle, namely : uranus in aries (ram) square pluto in capricorn (goat) ever since daniel's prophetic vision came to my mind, i have been pondering over the many layers of meaning held within it - how could they relate to our times and here is for your own consideration : Daniel's vision of  " the Ram and the Goat " 1. In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. 2. And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. 3. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which ha

A brief look at the last New Moon of this solar year.. Many layers of significance are to be found in the depths of the Pisces alignment of this New Moon. The Sun and Moon conjunction activate Neptune' entrance and 14yrs sojourn into the sign - and along with Chiron and Pallas, they do highlight the nature of its energy. It is about what we call 'culture' or what remains whence everything else has disappeared.. capicúa / palindromic New Moon, 21.02.2012, 22:34:34ut, 7e15 43n42 Symbol 3° Pisces : Petrified tree trunks lie broken on desert sand. According to Rudhyar: Key : The power to preserve records of their achievements which is inherent in fully matured cultures.  When a vast group of men succeed in building a culture with strong institutions which express themselves in significant symbols and works of art or literature, such an effort of many generations is rarely lost altogether. In one form or another, records of this culture endure or are mys

“Amid the whirling forces, I stand confused. I know them not, for, during all my past, they swept me up and down the land wherein I moved, blinded and unaware. From place to place and point to point, they drove me up and down the land and nowhere was there rest.” Esoteric Astrology, Alice A. Bailey Azar in November-December corresponds to Āçiyādiya, "Month of the worship of fire", whence Kaman or Nimasp (the centaur) represents a hunting divinity symbolised by the bow and arrow. It was called the Light of the White Face , the Flowing Day , the Smiting Sun Face and its constellation was the Star of the Bow with which Rukbat was associated. It is also called Sagittarius, the ninth Sign of the Zodiac. Alpha Sagittarii, a star in the Sagittarius constellation, has the traditional names Alrami and Rukbat, derived from the Arabic rukbat al-rāmī = the knee of the archer. Rukbat means 'knee' in Arabic.  In the stan

11.11.11 @ 11.11.11 ... if it is just another day, we can still look at its astrological patterns we perceive any given energy according to Universal Time and our Local view, as these operate from distinct areas of experience. on such day, we may also draw a Mandala along major aspects of the chart and interiorize their Sabian symbols. in the following case, perceived from a Local perspective : - the Universal Time places Pluto in the twelve house of fears and inhibitions and the Sun conjunct the Medium Coeli. while the separative oppositions from the Moon to the Sun or from Jupiter to Saturn (square to the Ascendant) are still playing in. - whereas the Local Time has Pluto conjunct the Ascendant only minutes apart, therefore aligning exactly with the Ascendant, the Grand Trine between Pluto (conjunct the Ascendant), Jupiter (conjunct the Nadir) and entered-in-Virgo Mars (opposite Neptune.Chiron).   11.11.11 @ 11:11:11 gmt, 7e15 43n42 the Universal Time in Local pl

November Full Moon, 10.11.2011, 20:16:05 gmt, 7e15, 43n42 Symbol 19° Taurus: A New Continent Rising Out Of The Ocean key word : spontaneity according to rudhyar : a new horizon emerges once the crisis is over. when the mind has been emptied and light has been called upon to purify the consciousness - freed from its attachment and contaminations - a new release of life can emerge out of the infinite Ocean of potentiality, the virgin SPACE. rudhyar ends with this question : what will it be used for? in the above full moon chart, aside from the Sun Moon opposition asking us to achieve a Mars-Venus balance between crisis-prone transformative passionate Scorpio and placid stability-loving Taurus or between the lord of the Underworld (Plutonian Scorpio) and Gaïa (Taurean Mother Earth), there is on one hand a rather cheerful and expansive conjunction between Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius slowly approaching the North Node which allows for a warm and wider perspective (

"Blessed are the meek , for they shall inherit the earth ". (MATTHEW 5:5). With " A Large Diamond In The First Stages Of The Cutting Process " as a symbol .. reminding us how demanding an aspiration is "perfection" ! the July 1st Solar Eclipse that started a new 18yr Saros cycle - will be kept under triggers for some time into this month .. July in the meanwhile will be highlighted by Venus .. turning at first self-protective and private when she enters Cancer and also combust as she grows closer to her superior conjunction to the Sun by mid August. July 4th : She enters Cancer and trines Neptune (inspiration, compassion, soulfullness ..) July 7-8 : She trines Chiron and squares Uranus (a good time for healing on the margin of surprising events and irritations/impatience/hypersensitivities) July 8-9 : She opposes Pluto and sextiles Jupiter, amplifying their current trine - of wealth and unearthed treasures - while she may bring so

In the same manner we'd come up with the notion of fair-trade, it has become obvious at least to me that the "new world" we keep talking about, is in deep need of implementing a fair-culture. I usually find wordiness to blur meaning and my general feeling about the increasing jabber on the blogosphere is that we would be better off expressing ourselves with greater parsimony. The ever-increasing saturation of our world by restless noise and buzzing information-news-opinions-stories in our cyberspace .. is reaching such a degree of non-sense that many of us may want to 'turn it off'. Don't they say God likes silence? Despite the current need for silence, I will explain what I mean by fair-culture and propose an ethereal counterpart to this eclipse season through several posts. This part is an introduction. kali yantra ©Vamakhepa With a sequence of three eclipses during the next month, I can think of no better time to dust off som

  Well as a stepping out of the memorable trials of 2010, this last month has been quite challenging ! We recently had the total Lunar Eclipse at 29° Gemini on the Solstice, less than two degrees opposite the Galactic Center, reactivating matters that had come to light during the course of the past few years; it was followed on December 26-27 by the Sun aligning with Pluto at 5° Capricorn thus indicating that certain "secrets" or issues are revealed and made manifest in a rather dense form. As if it were not enough then on the 29th, hours before Mercury finally went direct in Sagittarius - to progressively clear our recent muddy thinking - Mars in Capricorn squared Saturn in Libra, asking us to abide our time while testing our courage, patience and ability to meet frustrations, obstacles and restrictions! 2011 started on its first day in a lighter mode with the Moon entering Sagittarius after she'd fully activated during the last hours of a difficult year, a p

“ I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.” Hafez As everyone has been writing extensively about the significance of having a Total Lunar Eclipse occur just hours before the Solstice, I will not enter the dispute over the last occurence of such astrological event and will only add my two penny with a few considerations. This total Lunar Eclipse occurring at 29° Gemini while the Full Moon is closely aligned to the Nodes, is joined by Mercury retrograde and Pluto, and is squared Uranus .. Days prior to this Sagittarius Sun. Gemini Moon opposition, time speeded up with Mars joining the North Node before a triple meeting with Pluto and Mercury gone retrograde: many probably have experienced breakdowns and breakthroughs .. revealing in due course the 'karmic' dimensions of the current times. But feeling that time to take important decisions was inevitably approaching, we've probably pondered over all poss

  © Rakesh K. Mathur The spiritual meaning of the Diwali celebration is about the awareness of the inner light , something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, also called the Atman. Diwali is the celebration of this inner light, in particular the knowing of which outshines all darkness .. to rejoice in the Inner Light (Atman) or the underlying reality of all things (Brahman) brings Ananda (joy or peace).

A few things I notice here: - The Sun and Moon stand alone with Vesta, in a bare semi-sextile to Saturn in Libra and a trine to Lilith in Pisces. - Water is largely predominant with 5 bodies in Scorpio : Retrograde Venus which recently conjuncted the Sun is to leave it sho

  29 10 2010, 1:10:25 GMT, 7e15 43n42  Venus goes retrograde little over every 1,5 year thru an inverted motion. If we keep in mind that the markers of our experience during any planetary cycle, are the very degrees of the inferior and superior conjunctions, then each of the movement's phases highlights certain areas of our lives. This year, the Venus cycle occurs in Scorpio, same sign as the recent Venus/Mars. The present conjunction of Venus with the Sun happens at 6° Scorpio: The Gold Rush Tears Men Away From Their Native Soil  and refers to a process of be-coming, of going beyond the familiar .. doesn't each quest originate in Desire? The water triplicity being here its predominant element, the visual figure that stands out in the above Venus cycle chart, is the familiar shape of a pendulum. "When a pendulum reaches the end of its swing, there occurs a brief instant of pure potential energy when the pendulum is motionless, before it begins its swing in th

have you noticed how the new moon falling before the Libra ingress / fall equinox is always a major momentum in the astrological year ? New Moon 8/9/2010 10:29:49GMT 7e15 43n42 the Virgo new moon corresponds to the harvest month and represents the mid-cycle 'gathering' impulse, from all our earlier responses to cosmic conditions since the Aries ingress - it is in fact a 'karmic' moment, when our sowing and labor lead up to fruit bearing, when the result of our intentions, actions and reactions is made manifest .. hence the symbol of the virgin (initial idea/concept) holding a sheaf of wheat (now given physical form). the planet Mercury is the main ruler of Virgo and gives it the detached mental acuity for precise detailed "work", while understandably so Ceres, now considered a secondary ruler, enhances the provider and nurturer dimensions of the sign as well as its intimate relationship to Nature .   as i looked at this chart, the first

" Humanity is like a giant spiderweb. If you touch it anywhere, you set the whole thing trembling. As we move around this world and as we act with kindness, perhaps, or with indifference, or with hostility, toward the people we meet, we too are setting the great spider web a-tremble. The life that I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place and time my touch will be felt. Our lives are linked. No man is an island. " ~ Frederick Buechner " Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier, Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire, I do wander everywhere. " ~ William Shakespeare

today april 14 aries new moon .. the symbol: " a double promise reveals its inner and outer meanings " is definitely about significance .. all the supportive energies are accessible so we may act upon our goals and launch on new paths for this solar year .. but to experience what's deep in our soul and benefit from the healing rays of the sun, we first need to let go of our inhibiting fears - trust is the key word! throughout the coming solar year, we will gradually measure the fated quality of our current choices .. 

BAHMAN (iranian solar month-roughly from January 20 to about February 19 / corresponding to the month of Aquarius) ... means AVALANCHE in farsi symbolically, avalanches are often identified to awakening - they may represent a new awareness and are linked to remarkable states of consciousness -- "lucid dreams" that can be used for all kinds of creative purposes and that lead to premonitions ...

may your soul dance in 2010 a partial eclipse paves our entrance into this new year : as our old individual & collective habits and ego 'assumptions' are precipitated, a new "authority" is emerging gradually - the process takes a long time... astraly, we need to understand that no one really is better than another, we also need to adapt our emotional container and embrace with optimism and humour the challenges lying ahead .. so may the coming year be for all more boon than bondage - may it bring victory over the dark - may it release the light within each one of us - may it erase regrets - may it heal the sick - may it feed the hungry - may it draw the chart of compassion in the rigid hearts - may it raise hope in the saddened ones - may it tame the wild angry ones - may it guide all those in need .. and may it bring common sense and vision amongst all leaders :) so our dreams and ideals of a better world come ever closer and true! bles

16/12/09, 12/02:06GMT, 7e15 43n42 last 2009 new moon : despite a fantasy undertone "we either will clean up our act or be shown the door".. symbol: “ A chubby little rich boy rides upon a hobbyhorse of bright colors and wishes for hazards he may never know. ” because he only goes back and forth in one place-and while the game eventually ends, he imagines he's conquered the world.. some of us live in tiny confines and can't move out of them, probably in great need of exercise and getting out th-air. we get fat when we ain't great at sharing our 'toys', fearing that someone might break or not return 'em, or worse, end up having more than us -
