Any emergence of life potentialities from the depth of the vast Unconscious is answered by the spiritual activity of superconscious forces in a cosmic kind of antiphony. The individual who has taken a new step in their evolution should look for the "Signature" of divine Powers confirming their progress. It may reveal the meaning of what is to come next. The "wing-like clouds" may also symbolize the presence of celestial beings (devas, angels) blessing and subtly revealing the direction to take, the direction of "the wind" of destiny. This stage concludes a process, having experienced which the individual should find themse

Pisces by Johannes Hevelius, 1687 (stars are heightened in gold) The last new moon before Nowruz and the spring equinox... occurs in the midst of a mega stellium with no less than nine 'bodies' (the Sun, Moon, five planets and two asteroids) in Pisces... with Mercury still retrograde,  and the Sun.Moon conjunction forming two major aspects: a trine with the Nodes a T-square with Lilith, Ceres and Vesta on one side and the Galactic Center on the other. This unusual stellium with a mass of planets in Pisces, is actually simpler to interpret than most planetary configurations. The planets are blurring each other's specific function; their activities dissolve and merge into one sole electromagnetic wave. What really stands out is the Piscean vibration, which results in a disintegration of the personality as a separate entity. It requires a "going with the flow" and a channeling of energies through the activities of

During this Full Moon, the Sun in Pisces is conjunct Chiron and Neptune and Venus is about to join in when she enters Pisces the following day... while the Moon in Virgo is trine to Pluto, quincux Uranus, and sextile to Saturn which in turn is trine the Sun. Jupiter seats at the apex point of a T-square, forming an exact square to the Moon - Sun axis Mercury which turned retrograde a couple of days ago will be in exact conjunction to Mars at 19° Pisces on the following day. The mutable Virgo Pisces axis represents a transition and indicates adaptability.

The process of emotional experiencing under controlled situations is shown now to demand self-induced, active movement; yet the movements are still conditioned, if not totally determi

With the February New Moon started the chinese year of the Water Snake. New Moon, 10 February 2013, 7:20:07 gmt, 7e15, 43n42 Symbol for the New Moon: A rug is placed on the floor of a nursery to allow children to play in comfort and warmth. Key: The warmth of understanding which comes to those who, early in life, are open to new possibilities.  Man is never left without assistance when eagerly seeking to grow emotionally and spiritually. Even if he does not consciously realize the intent and value of what sustains his self-development and cushions the shocks which life provides his growth in understanding, still the assistance is there. He may think: No one understands me. But the understanding is there if he does not egotistically take for granted that life and society owe him everything. This symbol contrasts the kindness inherent in so many of life's situations with the tragic feeling of disillusionment. Through a warm APPRECIATION of basic opportunities

While we are still under the sober influence of Saturn in Scorpio's sextile and mutual reception to Pluto in Capricorn, the first New Moon of 2013 has a stellium with five planets and Juno in Capricorn where the energies are concentrated to really start the season. The Sun.Moon.Mercury conjonction in Capricorn doesn't make aspects other than a loose sextile to the North Node in Scorpio. Meanwhile Venus, still in sextile with Neptune and Chiron in Piscis, is fast approaching Juno.Pluto in Capricorn and their square to Uranus in Aries and on the other hand Mars in Aquarius is slowly separating from a trine to Jupiter in Gemini and a square to Saturn in Scorpio.

Key : The realization that one may grow through defeat as well as, and perhaps more than, through success.  While the preceding symbol referred to the drive

The Pythia during this full moon activating the December 2012 solstice the Cancer Moon is opposing the Sun conjunct Pluto which is part of three major triangular patterns : a Kite, a T-Square and a Yod.  Cancer full moon 28 December 2012, 10:21:11 gmt, 7e15, 43n42 The T-Square involving Sun.Pluto, Moon and Uranus is once again triggering the social tensions currently at play (Uranus Pluto ongoing square). But we may be seeing some solutions to this 'crisis' now with the help of the kite formation. A Kite pattern is formed as Sun.Pluto are at the apex point opposite the Moon in Cancer which is in a grand trine with Saturn in Scorpio and Chiron.Neptune in Pisces. Sun.Pluto stand in sextiles with the latter two and can thus allow for the outward objective manifestation of the balanced self-sufficient fullness of the water trine configuration. In mutual reception, Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn are sextile and inconjunct to Jupit

photo by Gada & Lodriguss "One of the most spectacular sights in all of nature is the corona during a total solar eclipse. The corona is the sun's atmosphere. It actually extends far out into the solar system, well past the Earth. It has an extremely wide brightness range of more than 10,000 to 1, and although the human eye has the ability to accommodate it and see detail in the brightest portions near the lunar limb as well as the faintest parts in the outer sections, normal photographic film is not able to record such a great range of contrast. One of the greatest challenges for the eclipse photographer is to record on film an image that even remotely approximates what can be seen visually." This eclipse totality will be visible in the south pacific from northern Australia to the Juan Fernandez islands.  Total Solar Eclipse chart New Moon 13 November 2012 at 22:08 gmt, for 7e15, 43n42 symbol 22° Scorpio Rudhyar: Hunters shooting wil

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

a quote on this aries full moon Never depend upon institutions or government to solve any problem. All social movements are founded by, guided by, motivated and seen through by the passion of individuals. - Margaret Mead

an opportunity for deep healing spotting light on the root cause The Fall and Expulsion from the Garden of Eden (1509/1510). by Michelangelo “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”  ~ Genesis 3:16-19 on 31 August 2012 at 13hr58 GMT the full moon is conjunct Chiron and Neptune in Pisces, trine Mars in Scorpio

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

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.

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

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
