stellArium & ethereal counterparts

Thank you for your patience and the kind messages I received. I am doing quite fine! Here are a few thoughts about my time off from the blog : I need perspective and my winds back. During decades, I have spent hours calculating and drawing astrology charts by hand .. this step-by-step approach represented a connecting ritual: my doorway to energies at hand. I really operated like a methodic scanner or laser-beam. It was an intense experience. A successful reading for me consisted in covering all the mathematical aspects of a chart until hidden information would find its way through and allow for an all-embracing synthetic connection. When I used to make these calculations by hand, "mistakes" ( such as an erroneous hour of birth for instance) would become revealers for some crucial but less obvious aspects of the reading. Later on, I started using computer-generated charts because it saved time. So in the process I'd forsaken the type of experience I've men

"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. Reactivating the same degree as that of December 2008 and closer to the Galactic center, the

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

the earth and humanity are undergoing a cleansing process and despite appearances, the current release of negative energies is necessary and occurs for the ultimate good of all .. meditation and visualization are helpful tools in channeling our desire to contribute something positive. our love, our intentions and our energy may help the rest of the planet. for practice it is usually best to follow our own intuition, but should you need help to get started please find below a few simple suggestions : meditation - relaxation (suggested time : nightfall) sit in comfortable position and close your eyes, make sure your legs and arms are not crossed take three deep slow breaths while relaxing your body then return to your natural breathing and focus on it, observing the air going in and out and its rhythm without trying to control eventually there will be a balance between the inhaling and exhaling if your mind starts wandering, observe the thoughts/images without follo

  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

after a recent gemini eclipse and mercury being still retrograde in sagittarius : we are to expect bad weather conditions and delays re. travel plans .. despite having the current difficulties and hard times on our minds, as the sun is almost conjunct pluto in capricorn and mars is closing into a square to saturn .. the moon in leo however may uplift our spirits with its benevolent and generous influence and remind us that sharing with one another is most important and meaningful. all in all we may celebrate a warm and quiet christmas .. happy holidays and blessings to all!!

Children In Halloween Costumes Indulge In Various Pranks social rituals that periodically allow the release of rebellious immature energies and tensions By taking a slow look at the varied aspects of this Full Moon, its mixed messages urge us however towards an inspired and truthful grounding of our passionate self within Reality. No matter how ambivalent and slippery this one appears, we need to maintain our lucidity and exert sound judgement. The Pleiades Star Cluster - Nasa This Moon.Sun opposition occurs at 29°-30° Taurus - and the last degree of a sign points at endings giving way for new beginnings - in conjunction

  © 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

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.

This next Sun and Moon alignment occurring in an ongoing polarized environment (still quite active is the cross between Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter.Uranus as mentioned in earlier posts) is however in sextile with the fiery and passionate energy of Mars in Virgo and heralds some creative, productive and constructive times. However during the days prior to the eclipse, Venus will cloud our discernment on t

Time has come to embrace 'it' and breathe gently into it - with all the life force you can muster .. Despite some flowing aspects such as Neptune's trine to the Sun (June 19) and later to Mercury (June 24), the week leading to the partial lunar eclipse (June 26) is laden with confusing polarization and tensions. 1 : Summer Solstice on June 21, 2010 at 11:28:30 GMT is interestingly aligned on a similar axis (ascendants and MCs are very close in degrees in both charts) as that of the lunar eclipse because they happen a few days and minutes apart .. Chart for June 21 2010 - 7e15, 43n42 - 11:28:30 GMT In this chart there are two major patterns to look at: a Grand Trine involving the Moon, Sun.Juno and Neptune.Quiron.Lilith on one side and a Grand Cross involving the Sun.Juno, Saturn, Jupiter.Uranus, Pluto.Ceres.NNode on the other. The Grand Trine and the Grand Cross both speak of a 'perfect' equilibrium: one is a gift from above and is here to help wh
