stellArium & ethereal counterparts

= one last chance Ange de la fontaine Subé à Reims-FR on friday the thirteenth of june, you may have perceived the shift : pluto turned retrograde and will soon re-enter sagitarius for the last time before another 248 years. from november on it will be pursuing its capricornian journey for the next 16 years. we now have a last chance to rectify and understand our recent "expansions" ! in fact during pluto retrograde we always need to turn our attention 'inside' and reflect upon our previous actions in order to integrate them at a deep level and EVOLVE as individuals as well as a collective. more than ever this period of our common history determines the future of our planet and humanity. what is at stake has become so evident even for the least perceptive one, it shows that we are becoming somewhat more responsible and conscious as a group. for a reminder, pluto in sagittarius has been a period when we needed to end our existing religious (as in religa

nasa There are days when you may feel like an orphan. Days when there is no-one from outside to rely on. Days when something very deep inside is undergoing transformation and no matter which way you look, you don't find words to communicate it. Well, let's start another attempt to talk about Plutonian trials. Everything has a beginning a middle and an end : this may be the beginning of the end for Democracy. i mentioned earlier that even the notion of ownership is to disappear. Here I will extend it further : why own an identity? Is it not a tool, as much as the ego is also one, to help us go thru the social aspect of living. There is nothing wrong with having an ego or an identity as long as we are aware of their purpose and finality. The more potent an idea or concept on a collective level, the more people "identify" with it and are reluctant to let it go. However, there are also times in history when the need for change speeds up and those who were n

Have you noticed how special the energy around is recently? Every moment in time has unique qualities : we are about to experience a very auspicious full moon day with the rare opportunity to remove some karmic obstacles from our lives, in particular those passed down from our ancestors. Some call this the 'Buddha Moon", and it only happens once in a millenium = the Loving and Unconditionnal Presence gets embodied on Earth. An intense Solar partnership with Saturn and Pluto will be reflected by the Scorpio Moon and will illuminate the world of Soul and Spirit in physical form - Allow yourself to embrace and be embraced by its gentle energy, by its enlightened and supportive presence. Awaken to the deep compassion and wisdom of your own higher being. A few words, should you need help in performing a simple ritual of this sort : for instance you could spend a quiet and reflective time making a list (bring to your consciousness) of those patterns and tendencies it is time

Ever since Pluto entered Capricorn on January 25, you've probably been examining your life conditions, wondering where you want your life to take you. You've been trying to figure out which will be the ambitions and projects you want to invest yourself into.  If you have felt this, then be prepared for the next chapter: Pluto turns retrograde on April 2, so you can review your new plans. May I remind you a few things:  1- Pluto rules Scorpio the sign of power issues as well as their misuse.  2- Pluto is the energy, motives, purpose, and integrity of any form of power is made of.  3- In fact it is all the hidden motives in a person wielding power.  In the sign of Capricorn, a fear of authority will call upon our inner strength to become stronger than the outer situation: that is a typical "trial by fire" response to Pluto-related situations. So when activated, Pluto brings to the fore situations that contain issues of power: the kind of situations where we strive t

We have entered an upbeat phase, so to speak, indicated by Mercury's alignment with Jupiter and Uranus culminating tomorrow. It all begins to unfold today, yet we ought to expect surprises. Anything can happen! nasa on March 28 After the last weeks' intensity, this tuning into lovely Venus as she sextiles Jupiter and conjuncts independent Uranus on the same day will present a nice break.  Also on March 28, Uranus sextiles Jupiter, giving Venus its freedom theme!  When entering Sagittarius the Moon joins in this cheerful alignment, and will definitely help keep our spirits high. This is an electrifying, sparkly aspect. Be ready for an out-of-the-blue meeting, or a huge desire to change things.  In relationships, expect the kind of conversations exploring how close is too close, or how can the excitement be kept alive.  With mercury, tongues will go fast enough to speak first and think later. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and is in achievement-oriented Capricorn no

mahakala mandala Depending on your time zone, the Sun enters Aries late Wednesday or early Thursday, marking a new astrological year with the Vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere (Autumn Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere).  Fueled with the spirit of rebirth, this equinox alignment is immediately and emphatically followed by the Libra Full Moon on Friday, promising some surprises. An explosive t-square between Pluto in Capricorn (read my earlier post about Pluto), Mars in Cancer, and the Sun in Aries will turn into a Grand Cardinal Cross, an aspect calling for integration and perfect equilibrium when the Moon moves into Libra and opposes the Sun during Friday's Full Moon. The grand cross announces a turning point in our collective destiny, and it will particularly affect individuals who have key points in those degrees of their charts. Pluto will bring to the surface any hidden emotional and psychological issues that demand to be acknowledged and dealt with before healing

March 7:  Mars in opposition to Pluto at 00°58' of Cancer/Capricorn is a highly significant transit: a taste for the major structural changes that are on their way. Mars and Pluto together are a formidable combination that results in irrevocable change when the lessons from the earlier phases of the cycle are integrated. Remember that Mars/Pluto will definitely destroy but it will also contain all the ingredients for renewal and regeneration. With Pluto in Capricorn, a sign of society rather than the individual, we are not likely to see in the near future, the forces attempting to subsume the individual into the collective ease up in any way.  We can see this in terms of the various crises - environmental, economic, nuclear - that we are facing collectively, and the resultant insecurity that they create.  Individuality is seen as a luxury by an insecure society. (I have much to say about this from my own experience) Mars Symbolic indications: 1° Cancer is: “On a ship t

Nasa A total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the night of Wednesday, February 20/21, 2008. The entire event is visible from South America and most of North America as well as Western Europe and Africa. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray. An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow. The shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped parts, one nested inside the other. The outer shadow or penumbra is a zone where Earth blocks some (but not all) of the Sun's rays. In contrast, the inner shadow or umbra is a region where Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. chart for the total lunar eclipse feb 21 2008, (on the 20th for the US) Nice (FR), 3:31 AM (univ. time) 2° Virgo: A Large White Cross Dominates The Landscape.
