as radiant as the jasmine and the lotus

Sarasvati, goddess of speech, learning and the arts is especially associated with music and knowledge. This 10-11th c. sculpture represents her playing the vina and holding a palm-leaf manuscript as well as a lotus flower.         a major shift is to be expected on 20 June 2016 a chance to individually and collectively elevate our vibrations and potentially awaken and expand our higher consciousness as a shining solstice full Sagittarius Moon  @ 11:03 UT  aligns with the galactic center!! this Sagittarius Moon - the previous full moon was also in Sagittarius - opposes the Gemini Sun and Venus and just hours later @ 22:35 UT the solstice Sun ingresses into Cancer  while both rulers Mercury and Jupiter are involved in the mutable grand cross with Neptune and Saturn, and highlight the need  - to integrate our higher creative intelligence into...

Alexander Ruperti (1913-1998)

  A. Ruperti and D. Rudhyar my mentor Alexander Ruperti (1913-1998) was born 100 years ago he helped many generations of astrologers in understanding Rudhyar's thinking and principles  and in developing further his synthetic approach to astrology here is the link to his tribute to Dane Rudhyar (1895-1985) :  A Seed-Man For The New Era in 2000 Joyce Hoen wrote the following about A. Ruperti :  It was March, 1989: the planets Saturn and Neptune were about to meet again after 35 years, for the first time since my birth (when they also where in conjunction). Planets in a birthchart are lived either within, or in relationship with the outside world, and will then manifest there -- all astrologers are aware of how a chart gives us this interesting take on reality.  It was a sunny day in March and I was asked by Tees Reitsma (who had organized the 3rd international astrology congress of "Astro-Kring" in The Hague re this Saturn-Ne...

sunrise

new moon chart for 15 October 2012, 12:02:31 gmt, 7e15 43n42 Sun conj. Moon 22°32 Libra symbol : Chantecleer's voice heralds sunrise Key: A creative and joyous response to life processes. The cock that crows as the first coloring of dawn appears at the eastern horizon is a beautiful symbol of the ability, demonstrated by all pioneers and cosmically attuned individuals, to give voice to what is as yet unmanifested, but is on the way to manifestation. At the ego level, chanticleer may feel that he makes the sun rise; but someday he will learn through painful experiences that to create is only to reveal what essentially is. It is the vivid recognition of the as-yet-unknown in the known. This symbol should make us think afresh about issues we too often take for granted. At every "sunrise" there are a few isolated witnesses that herald the coming of a new day. What is at stake here is the individual's capacity of RESPONSE TO LIFE'S RENEWALS — rene...

opening of the fan (2012) … the past, the present, the future all merging

1391 / 2012 solar year = The past, the present, the future are all merging Like a slow opening fan, the told and untold are now unfolding...  Nowruz 1391, Vernal Equinox 20 March 2012, 5:14:27 UT, 7e15, 43n42 we praise good thoughts, good words and good deeds performed here and elsewhere now and in the past we revere them and we remember them  New Moon 22 March 2012, 14:37:06UT, 55e18, 25n18 symbol 3° Aries: “ The Cameo Profile Of A Man, Suggesting The Shape Of His Country ” Rudhyar's key : The sustaining power of the Whole, as the individual identifies themselves with It’s life. With Neptune in Pisces and the Grand Earth Trine running over the past months...  I have felt that, except for redundancy, there's been little to convey about recent astrological alignments and cycles. Earth element doesn't like words as much as 'being'. But days before Pluto in Capricorn goes retrograde again...

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 Loca...

equanimity and fair culture

some reminders .. stages of considerations for the astrological year : for each of the four seasons we need to consider their ingress point chart, when the energies for the season to come are "inscribed", and their subsequent new moon chart, when the same energies are "subscribed". of foremost relevance within this sequence is the Aries chart because the unfolding of energies for the entire astrological year is inscribed in the spring equinox / Aries ingress point chart. the fall equinox its polar counterpart, usually offers a mirror "image" to further our understanding of the current planetary cycles and patterns in the year's development.   Vernal Equinox: 20 March 2011, 23:20:44 GMT, chart for 7e15 43n42 Norouz 1390 تحویل سال  - Tehran, 21 March 2011, 2:50:44 hr    Aries New Moon, 3 April 2011, 14:32:19 GMT, chart for 4e42 50n53  symbol 14° Aries: a serpent coiling near a man and a woman.

"Any cycle of existence must begin in something. Life emerges out of one kind of seed or another. In the cycle of yearly vegetation, the seed lies hidden in the ground during the winter; then, as the sun's rays gain strength and spring begins, the great event of germination occurs. As the seed is torn asunder by some inner power of eager response to the sun, the rootlet stretches itself downward into the soil and the little germ reaches up to the crust of the soil, which it breaks in a magnificent gesture of liberation from the darkness of the past."   Meditations on Saturn by Dane Rudhyar The Total Lunar Eclipse at 25° Sagittarius during 15 June 2011 Full Moon, happens with the Earth perfectly aligned between the Sun and Moon - so 'she' will pass at the very center thru the Earth' shadow .. and will turn copper for even longer.
