stellArium & ethereal counterparts

  this morning, I am reminded of COP28 and its paradoxes  flying over 70,000 participants to one of the global epicenters of gas, oil production, and CO2 emissions.  amidst a backdrop of fossil fuel advocates, leaders of national oil companies and major CO2 producers partake in a ceremony advocating for renewable energies. these people are to address for the 28th time the same old issues of "Trust"  "Cooperation"  "Voluntary contributions"  while for the 28th time, scientists “urgently” emphasize the imperative for resolute decisions, pressing for the immediate abandonment of these very fossil fuels . . .  yet, the list of paradoxes is much longer.  amid wars and conflicts, some prioritise rearmament over decarbonisation. so how could they muster a minimum momentum to bridge their divisions?  a war in Europe and one in the Middle East have been triggers for an escalating dis-trust and an ...

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...

may "Light"  always  overcome "darkness" ... as i write there has been much delirious buzzing about the coming grand cardinal cross line-up (April 2014) which is to occur shortly after the March 2014 equinox/ingress point and Aries new moon: the speculations involve many dark scenarios because the planet Mars will be joining the cardinal cross...  let us try to remember the various times of our lives which carried a drastic sense of "before and after" the kind that was all transforming on many different levels... weren't these periods of our lives usually confusing, sometime very painful and full of darkness? most likely, yes. despite any intuition or foreboding, could we have been able to predict the exact outcome for these transformations? most likely, no. even the most capable seers and psychics can only be 'approximative'... that's because so much seems to happen outside our ultimate human ...

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...

Alignments of heavenly bodies are revealers - they operate and manifest thru progressive stages. The effects of eclipses are slow: they start with what is visible to the naked eye. After further scrutiny over the less perceptible, they reach a peak revealing then a need for rectification .. later on, what lied completely hidden at the beginning comes to the fore - in all clarity and full meaning. The same goes for any planetary cycle : there are as many stages of manifestations to be considered as there are aspects forming between two celestial bodies that move along. But we generally tend to reduce the cycle to four stages which represent the main 'crisis' points. The present Jupiter.Pluto cycle which started on December 11 2007 with a conjunction at 28°24 Sagittarius, was also aligned with the much talked about Galactic Center and has recently moved into its waxing square .. closing thereof the first chapter to this Jupiter.Pluto.Galactic Center story. When the God o...

Jupiter Saturn cycles determine social trends and changes. They are very important at the mundane level, as Jupiter stands for legal systems, religion, philosophy, far distance travels and Saturn represents the lord of karma, the time keeper, the master, politics, structure .. to mention only a few aspects of their symbolism. We have many centuries of observation to rely on, for the interpretation of this particular planetary cycle to be reliable enough. Deeper transformations are activated by the transpersonnal planets such as Uranus, Pluto (both involved in the grand cross occurring now) and Neptune, all discovered in more recent human history. The last Jupiter Saturn cycle started ten years ago, with a conjunction at 23° Taurus (the powerful 14/05/10 lunation at 23°09 also occurred less than 16min away from this point). Taurus is the sign of tangible reality, security, personal property, values, gifts, the earth and fruitfulness. The symbol for 23° Taurus is "a jewe...
