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 ...

  A. Ruperti and D. Rudhyar my mentor Alexander Ruperti (1913-1998) was born 100 years ago he helped many generations of astrologers in understanding Rudhyar's thinking and principles  and in developing further his synthetic approach to astrology here is the link to his tribute to Dane Rudhyar (1895-1985) :  A Seed-Man For The New Era in 2000 Joyce Hoen wrote the following about A. Ruperti :  It was March, 1989: the planets Saturn and Neptune were about to meet again after 35 years, for the first time since my birth (when they also where in conjunction). Planets in a birthchart are lived either within, or in relationship with the outside world, and will then manifest there -- all astrologers are aware of how a chart gives us this interesting take on reality.  It was a sunny day in March and I was asked by Tees Reitsma (who had organized the 3rd international astrology congress of "Astro-Kring" in The Hague re this Saturn-Ne...

The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak 1. How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves. If God brings to mind mostly fear and blame, it means there is too much fear and blame welled inside us. If we see God as full of love and compassion, so are we. 2. The Path to the Truth is a labor of the heart, not of the head. Make your heart your primary guide! Not your mind. Meet, challenge, and ultimately prevail over your nafs with your heart. Knowing your ego will lead you to the knowledge of God. 3. Each and every reader comprehends the Holy Qur’an on a different level in tandem with the depth of his understanding. There are four levels of insight. The first level is the outer meaning and it is the one that the majority of the people are content with. Next is the Batıni—the inner level. Third, there is the inner of the inner. And the fourth level is so deep it can not be put into words and is therefore bound to remain indescribable. 4. You can study God through everythi...

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...

In the shadow of Saturn, unexpected wonders appear. The robotic Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn drifted in giant planet's shadow for about 12 hours in 2006 and looked back toward the eclipsed Sun. Cassini saw a view unlike any other. First, the night side of Saturn is seen to be partly lit by light reflected from its own majestic ring system. Next, the rings themselves appear dark when silhouetted against Saturn, but quite bright when viewed away from Saturn, slightly scattering sunlight, in this exaggerated color image.   Saturn's rings light up so much that new rings were discovered, although they are hard to see in the image. Seen in spectacular detail, however, is Saturn's E ring, the ring created by the newly discovered ice-fountains of the moon Enceladus and the outermost ring visible above. Far in the distance, at the left, just above the bright main rings, is the almost ignorable pale blue dot of Earth. The huge storm churning through the atmosphere...

  (from jodrellbank centre)  We are going through the last planetary occultation of Regulus (Qalb el Asad) in Leo after 5000 years (or the lesser wheel in recorded history). It enters the constellation Virgo in 2012 and is eclipsed by Mercury at last degree of Leo tonight (visible at dawn, low on the eastern horizon) The brightest Star in the constellation of Leo (Alpha Leonis) it is closest to the ecliptic (occasionally eclipsed by Mercury or Venus) In Zoroastrian belief (as found in the Zend-Avesta) Regulus (Venant) was considered as the guardian of the (South) Persian Kingdom and presiding over affairs of all kingdoms (literally and metaphorically).. 2012 will represent a shift in our universe A shift in our vision of the world, of ourselves We are officially entering a new age - after thousands of years, our perception of matter (4%) a very small proportion of the universe .. our concepts of power, energy, love, life, ego, identity, etc are to change !! With Nep...

"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...
