"Once in the Jurassic about 150 million years ago, the Great Sun Buddha in this corner of the Infinite Void gave a Discourse to all the assembled elements and energies: to the standing beings, the walking beings, the flying beings, and the sitting beings -- even grasses, to the number of thirteen billion, each one born from a seed, assembled there: a Discourse concerning Enlightenment on the planet Earth.

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

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

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 Local pl

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).
