11°cancer37 on 2.01.2018 at 02:24 (UT) When a house is on fire, the vessel salvaged is the one that will be of use, not the one left there to burn. So when the world is on fire with aging and death, one should salvage [one’s wealth] by giving: what’s given is well salvaged. Whoever here is restrained in body, speech, and awareness; who makes merit while he’s alive: that will be for his bliss after death. ~ Buddha  —————————————- alright this is my first 2018 astrology post, it is about the first full moon in Herculean times and about its fate-full kite planetary formation of which I can speak from the heart of my own experience I keep beating your ears with cycles and patterns but under this Moon i could also tell you about hereditary patterns and karmic refrains about how there can be no Life without Love for it is the generating Source about how there can be no evolution, spiritual path or Transcendence without Metamorphosis .. about how ...

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...

Mercury and its orbit - Ottoman illuminated and illustrated version of ʿAjāʾib al-makhlūqāt (Wonders of creation) by Zakarīyā al-Qazwīnī   The Mercury cycle according to Rudhyar :   In the usual kind of geocentric astrology no distinction is made between the two kinds of conjunction of Mercury and the Sun, except that at "inferior" conjunction Mercury is retrograde, while at "superior" conjunction Mercury is direct. In heliocentric astrology the situation is quite different, because an inferior geocentric conjunction of Mercury and the Sun means that the Earth is conjunct Mercury, while a superior geocentric conjunction indicates that the Earth is in opposition to Mercury. Thus when Mercury is retrograde geocentrically, Mercury is heliocentrically near the Earth; and at the heliocentric conjunction of Mercury and the earth, a line is formed by Sun, Mercury and Earth, with Mercury and Earth, with Mercury between the Sun and the Earth thus as ...

This Sagittarius New Moon on 25 November 2011 coincides with a partial Solar Eclipse. With nearly 90% obscuration of the Sun, the eclipse will be visible across Antartica and New Zealand. Solar Eclipse 25 November 2011, 6:09:40gmt, 7e15, 43n42 Symbol : Two men playing chess According to Rudhyar,  the transmutation of man's natural aggressiveness under most conditions of existence is essential to socio-cultural living. Many rituals, sports and games have no other basic aim. In chess, the struggle between light and darkness (the Yang and Yin forces) is ritualized, ending in most cases with the checkmating of the king (the ego, the conscious self). In a dualistic world such a contest between polarized forces is omnipresent. The chess game trains men to be more objective, more careful, more aware of whole situations — and less impulsive and intent upon side issues. This symbol deals with conflict, but at a group culture level. Keynote: The transcendent rituali...

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 (...

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...
